THE CHILDREN.
FOUND IN THE DKBK OP CHARLES PICKENS
AFTER HIS DEATH.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me
To bid “me good-night” and be kissed ;
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck is a tender embrace !
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine and love ou my lace!
And when they are gone I sit dreaming
Of my childhood, too lovely to last;
Of love that my heart will remember,
When it wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere she world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin,
When the glory ol God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
Oh, my heart grows weak as a woman’s,
And fountains of feeling wili flow,
When I think of the paths steep and stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
Ot the mountains of sin hanging o’er them,
Ot the tempests of fate blowing wild ;
Oh, there’s nothing ou earth half so holy
As the iunocent heart of a child!
They aro idols of hearts and of households,
They are angels of God in disguise,
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still beams iu their eyes ;
Oh, those truants from earth and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild,
And I know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.
Seek not a life of the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done ;
But that life may have just as much shadow
To temper the glare of the sun ;
I would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my player would bound back to myself;
Ah! a seraph may pray for a siuuer,^
But a sinner must pray for himself,^
The twig is so easily bended,
I have banished th: rule aud the rod ;
I have taught them ilie goodness of knowledge,
They have tanuht me the goodness ot God.
My heart is a dungeon of darkness
Where I shut them from breaking a rule;
My frown is sufficient correction.
My love is the law of the school.
I shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold uo more.
Ah ! how I shall sigli for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door.
I shall miss the good nights and the kisses,
Aud the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green aud the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
I shall miss them at moru and at eve,
Their soug in the school and the street.
I shall miss the low hum ot their voices,
Aud the tramp of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
Aud the death says the school is dismissed,
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me “good-night” and be kissed.
A law was passed by congress a
ynitr or two ago authorizing the use
of double postal cards —that is, a card
to be sold for two cents, which should
pass free through the mails both from
and back to the person sending it.
The object was to enable persons de
siring to do so to pay the postage on
postal cards both ways. These cards
have never appeared, and the Rich
mond Dispatch has discovered why.
It says the reason came out in a de
bate in the United States Senate last
Thursday, that although the law au
thorized the use of double postal
provided that there should be no roy
alty claimed by any person, yet the
postmaster-general has been inhibit
ed by that provision from using
doublo postal cards, because there are
none except what are patented, and
therefore none upon which there is
no royalty.
There are said to be 40,000 drum
mers sent out of New York city
alone. We think the estimate too
small, but are willing, as the basis of
this article, to accept it. These aver
age at least SI,BOO per annum In sala
ry and commissions, or $72,000,000
paid by mercantile houses as salaries
to men on the road. If to this we
add their traveling expenses, $6 per
day, and estimating they are upon
the road 150 days during the year, we
have an item of $36,000,000 more,
and an aggregate of $108,000,000,
which must be covered by, and ad
ded to, the price of the goods sold.
As there is about, say, 400,000 stores
iu the country which the goods sold
ou the road evidently reach, we find
that every dealer is taxed $270 per
annum to sustain this army of
“drummers” from New York city
alone.
Atlanta is now vaccinating her
public schools. In the schools there
are 3,940 pupils, and 1,754 of this
number have been successfully vac*
cinated. Some of the pupils refuse
to be vaccinated, and if they persist
in this refusal the says
they will probably have to leave the
school. Trustees of public schools
cannot guard them too carefully
from the dangers of contagious disea
ses.
CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAECH 3, 1881.
A GREAT MAN—NOBLEST RO
MAN OF THEM ALL.
Ex-Chief Justice Warner—The
Leading Incidents of his Ca
reer—a Brilliant Record
Now Drawing to a Close.
[Atlanta Post-Appeal.]
A few short days ago during this
month, Judge Warner went to Sa
vanuali, because sixty years ago, as
a mere land of seventeen years of age,
he landed in Savannah. This vener
able pride, an ornament of the Jdi
ciary, possessed a longing to revi.su
Hie place where as a mere stripplirn
irom the bleak clim *te of Massachu
setts, became to cast his lot in th*
sunny and favored land of old Geor
gia ; and herewith us he lias beei
•ow sixty years, making the Judge
seventy-seven years old. What mo
mentous events have been crowdeo
into those sixty years since, in 1821.
Chief Justice Hiram Warner stepped
ashore from the vessel in Savannah !
He was then a wayward boy, vigor
ous in mind and body, unknown and
penniless. To-day, feeble in body,
hut most of the time clear in mind,
racked and tortured by pain, and pei
naps on his death bed he lies, powei
ful, influential, wealthy, aud en
snrined iu the hearts of ail Georgians,
whose sineerest sympathies go out to
his noble and good old man, who
nas served them so faithfully.
Shortly after coming to Georgia iu
1821, Judge Warner taught schoo
a short while, reading law assiduous
ly during his leisure hours. When
sufficiently prepared he was admitted
to the bar, and soon attracted to him
self a large clientelle. In a few years
lie was sent to the Legislature, when
he made a most efficient member.
By the time or before he was thirty
yeais old, he was elected Judge oi
the Superior Court, being the young
est Judge iu the State on the bench.
In those early days there was no
supreme court, but superior court
judges would convene at stated inter
vals and such cases as had been re*
served for discussion were discusseo
in the Convention of Judges. Judgr
Warner, In this August body, by his
keen, incisive, legal acumen and in
tellect, jjpon made his power felt and
he became one of its leading mem
bers. When the supreme court was
organized December 10th, 1854, Jo
seph Henry Lumpkin, Hiram War
ner and Eugenius A, Nisbet were
appointed Judges of said court, aud
from First Kelly to 61st Georgia Re
ports, or when he resigned, can De
found lending the impress of bis
genius aud industry. About 1856,
Judge Warner ran for Congress
against Hon. B. 11. Hill, our present
U. S. Senator. Mr. Hill was the
the candidate for the American par
ty, and was beaten at the polls by
Judge Warner. After serving one
term in Congress he returned to his
practice of the profession and was
soon re-called to the bench. In all
Judge Warner was on the bench
about 43 years—more than any other
man. He has done more to give our
Supreme Court decisions that solid
strength and great weight and re
spect they have at home and com
mand abroad.
The present Justice was an able
coadjutor and associate of Judge
Warner. Judge Jackson is a man of
Ciceronian and classic elegance of
diction, and most gracefully wears
the mantle so long worn, and so ably
by his distinguished and venerable
predecessor. In the troubulous times
after the war, from 1868 to 1874, and
all through that period, Judge War
ner took strong and determined
grounds against the famous relief
laws. He could countenance nothing
that looked like Republicanism, and
all through his opinions of those
days will be found earnest and elo
quent protests against the light re
gard in which the sanctity of debt
was held. While .perhaps Judge
Warner may have been a trifle ex
treme in his notions of “the relief
laws,” yet his opinions in the Geor
gia Reports on that and kindred
subject, inculcated a healthier state
of feeling and sentiment among
the people, and what is a lasting
compliment to Judge Warner,
wherever on such matter he dissented
from the majority of the courts, and
the case was carried to the U. S. Su
preme Court, Judge Warner was
sustained by that high tribunal, and
his dissenting opinions declared law.
He had the deepest love for his cho
sen profession of the law. He al
ways declared it was a noble science,
and had the greatest reference for all
the ethics and amenities of the pro
fession, whether at the bar or on the
bench. He abhored*,anything that
looked like bad faith, and was the
soul of honor and integrity. In these
days when we hear talk about bribes
and corruption of the judiciary, nev
er in all of Judge Warner’s honored
md long career, was there ever the
faintest breath of suspicion against
him. He plumbed the law, and if iu
the same case on one side was hit
dearest kinsman or frieud, aod ou
tlie other his bitterest and dead lies
; ue, yet even then nothing but the
purest justice was mated out. He
had the brain *and nerve to be out
t natures truest noblemen under ah
circumstances. While he was ou th<
Circuit and Supreme Bench theie
‘vas never the suggestion or hint 01
avoritism or partiality. All were
• reated alike, and that fairly and jusi
>y. When Gen. Wilson’s raiders
plundered and pillaged through
Georgia with Sherman’s army in
1864, a detachment of cavalry of the
Yankees rode up to the Judge’s
house in Greenvillle and demanded
ois “life or his money.” The
yankees had been told he had a large
imount of money hid in his garden
which was partially true. The offi
cer was very insulting and threaten
ing. Judge Warner spurned the
Yankee Captain, and declined to tell
where the hidden treasure was.
They said they would hang him, and
Accordingly began preparations. The
Judge laughed derisively at the van
dal mob. They bent down a stout
■sapling and tied one end of a rope to
it and the other around Judge War
ner’s neck. Suddenly turning the
iree loose, he was jerked violently
and swung iu mid air. Finding him
not dead, the Yankees cut him down
aad again for his money.
Judge Warner gasped out a deter
mined “No,” when he was again
swung up. This time thev kindled
a tire under him aud went off, leav
ing the Judge suspended by the neck
iu the air. After the Yankees were
gone his faithful negroes cut him
down. Judge Warner was insensi
ble and badly hurt, but finally recov
ured, which we hope he will do iu
this his serious, alarming and per
haps fatal illueßs.
Even while the forms of this issue
are being placed upon the press, or
before the paper reaches our sub
scribers the mournful intelligence
may come that this grand old man
has breathed his last.
THE HORRORS OF FICTION.
A SHOWER OF TALMAGIAN FIRE AND
BRIMSTONE FROM WHICH THACK
ERAY AND T. S. ARTHUR AMONG
OTHERS ESCAPE.
Dr. Talmage, yesterday morning,
in order to fulfil a promise made
some time ago to tell his congrega
tion something about novels, and
what sort of novels, if any, they
should read, took for his text: “Of
the making of many books there is
no end.’’ Incidentally he had a good
deal to say about newspapers and the
printing press generally. The oppor
tunities for good or evil of editors
of great dailies, he thought, could
not be over estimated. At what
cycle of time, at what distant hour
of the word’s existence, he wanted to
know would the influence of Henry
Raymond, Horace Greeley, James
Gordon Bennett and William Cullen
Bryant come to an end ? Taking into
consideration that the New York
and Brooklyn daily papers have a
combined circulation of over half a
million, who, he would like to know
could ever estimate the extent < f
their influence upon the minds and
morals of men ? “God speed,” said
Mr. Talmage, “the cylinders of an
honest, intelligent Christian aggres
sive printing press. I put to you to
day the stupendous question, what
books shall we and our families read?
It is a subject of vital importance
to-day, standing as we do, chin deep
in fictitious literature. Ido not deny
that there are many good novels.
The world will have some difficulty
in paying its debt of obligation to
such novelists as Hawthorne, Mac
kenzie, Landor, Hunt, T. S. Arthur
and Marion Harland. Cooper’s works
were also healthy, smelling of sea
weeds and wood flowers. Thackeray
has brought the world into debt by
his caricatures of pretenders to no
bility, and Charles Dickens’ books
are an everlasting plea for the poor.
This class of novels rightly read and
in good proportion to other books, is
healthy. But —I deplore the fact —
there is a pernicious tide of novels
coming in like a destructive freshet.
You will find them in the school
girl’s desk and in the young man’s
trunk. I charge upon these books
the destruction of tens of thousands
of soul?,*
“In the first place I warn you to
avoid all those novels which give
false pictures of human lives. What
good can they do you? How do they
prepare you for the labor of the
day. See that woman at midnight
bending over the romance, her hair
dishevelled, her cheeks pale, trem
ding and sobbing at the fate of the
luckless lover, Roderigo. Look at
her this morning. There she sits
with a thousand duties calling her,
staring idly into vacancy. The ea -
pet which seemed plain before, is
now positively hideous in her eye-.
What is it to the marble hails—which
lever existed—through which she
strolled last night? What is her
Kitchen or sewing room to the ivy
bower by the limpid stream by
which she sat with the poiished des
perado.
“In the second place dbn’t read
bad books. Don’t deceive yourself
with the idea that you can safely
read a bad book with the intention
of getting good out of it. You
plunge your hand into a hedge of
briers to get one blackberry aud you
invariably get more burs than
blackberries. Whenever you peruse
a bad book with any such idea, you
are like a man who takes a lighted
torch into a powder magazine with a
view to finding out whether it is safe
to do if. He'll find out, but tne ex
periment wont be of any particular
value to himself. In the third place
I counsel you against all novels
which arouse however faintly the
baser passions of man. Years ago a
French lady came forth as an author
ess under the assumed name of
George Sand. She smoked cigars.
She wore gentlemen’s apparel. She
stepped over the bounds of decency.
She wrote with a style ardent, elo
quent, mighty In its bloom ; horrible
in its unchastity ; glowing in its ver
biage ; vivid iu its portraiture;
damning in fts effects; transfusing
into the libraries and homes of the
world an evil that has not even be
gun to relent ; and she has her copy
ists in all lands. To-day, under the
nostrils of your city there is a fetid,
reeking, unwashed literature enough
to poison all the fountains of public
virtue and smite your sons and
daughters as with the wing of the
destroying angel.
“Again, avoid all books which are
apologetic for crime. All novels
which represent sin as happy, and
vice as triumphant, insults to man
aud God. Sin is never happy; yice
is never triumphant. If carnality
must be presented, let it not be pre
sented as lurking behind embroid->
ered curtains or languishing in gor
geously-lighted halls, but as writhing
in agony in the city hospital. Cursed
be all those books!
“The clock strikes midnight. A
fair form bends over a* romance.
The eyes flash fire. The breath
is quick and irregular. Occasional
ly the color dashes to the cheek and
theu dies out. The hands tremble as
though a guardian spirit were trying
to shake the deadly book out of her
grasp. Hot tears fall. She laughs
with a shrill voice that drops dead at
its own sound. The sweat on her
brow is spray, dashed up from the
River of death. The dock strikes
four and the rosy dawn soon after
begins to peep through the lattice
upon the pale form that looks like a
detained spectre of the night. Soon
in a mad house she will mistake her
ringlets for curling serpents and
thrust her white hand through the
bars of the prison and smite her head,
rubbing it back and forth as though
to push the scalp from the skull,
shrieking, “my brain ! my brain !”
Mr. Talmage next directed his
anathemas to what he called the
“Unclean pictorials of to-day.” Ma
ny a young man, in the purchase of
a weekly picture paper, buys, he said,
his everlasting undoing. “The
Queen of Death holds a banquet eve
ry night and the unclean pictorials
are the cards of invitation. I’ll give
SI,OOO reward for any young man
who being in the habit of reading
these papers, remains pure and good.
One column in a good newspaper
may save your soul; one paragraph
in a bad one may damn it,” In con*
elusion Mr. Talmage urged his hear
ers to go straight home, weed out
their libraries, and making piles in
their back yards of all their question
able books, set tire lo them.
The State of Georgia keeps about a
million dollars in the treasury. All
the January interest and one thou
sand doilars of the State’s debt was
promptly paid at the end of the year.
