“A Map of Busy Life—lts Fluctuations and its Vast Concerns.’*
ELLIJAY, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1882.
Be Careful of Your Words,
Keep a watch on your words, ray darlings,
For words are wonderful things ;
They are sweet like the bees’ fresh honey ;
Like the bees, they hare terrible things;
They can bless, like the warm, glad sun
shine,
And'brighten a lonely life ;
They can cnl in the strife of anger
Like an open two-edged knife.
Let them pass through your lips unchal
lenged.
It their errand is'true and kind—
If they dome to support the weary,
To eomfdrt and help the Wind;
If a bitter, revengeful spirit
Prompt the words, let them be unsaid ;
They may flash through a brain like
lightning,
Or fall on a heart like lead.
Keep them baek if they are cold and cruel,
Under bar and lock and seal—
The wounds they make, my darlings,
Are always slow to beaL
May peace guard your lives, t and ever,
From tbc.time of your early youth,
May the words that you daily utter
Be the words of beautiful tiuth.
CHARLIE’S FATHER.
“Gock-a doodle doo!” cal I e and
out chanticleer, at early dawn,
and Hattie Harris awoke with a
start, remembering that this fair
June morning ushered in their
bridal day.
“Jessie! Jessie I” she called,
turning iter bright, blue eyes up
on the calm face of her sleeping
sister. “Awake, you sluggard!
Think of the oceans of things we
have to do.”
Jessie’s black eyes opened
glowly and smiled fondly upon
her little sister’s excited face.
“Your bridal morn 1 so it is.
Ah me, how strange it seems
that ‘our baby’ is going to be maT-'
ried.”
‘Tin the happiest girl in all the
world—or I would be if papa
Singleton would ouly be sensible
and kind.”
“What a cross old curmudgeon
he must be,” snapped Jessie,
“just because you are not wealthy,
and all that, to be so severe upon
ClnTie. I'm afraid you will hate
him cordially all your life; 1
know I shall.”
“But Charlie says he has
been tho kindest, most indulgent
father, always consenting to all
his wishes until this most impor
tant one in all his life, and he
calls it a‘boy freak’ and ‘a piece
of folly’, and urges that we wait
fl've years—the old bear I”
“I can not forgive his refusing
to be present at the wedding.
But try to not mind it, dear, even
our brightest days are clouded
sometimes.”
Such a' pretty wedding as it
was, the little village church had
uever known anything half soim
posing. Flowers in magnificent
profusion, sunshine and sweet
music and the prettiest little
blue-eyed bride and handsome
young bridegroom, whose boyish
face was-fulj of grave yet happy
earnestness.
The elegant Singleton carriage,
with its liveried footmen, awaited
outside to bear them away to the
distanteity.
When all was over' and Jessie
was at home once more, with a
dreary little sigh for her lost sis
ter, was about to close,she pre
ceived a shawled figure hasten
ing toward her.
"What is it, Mary ?” she in
quired, seeing the agitation in the
woman’s face.
“It’s an accident. Miss Jessie,
that happened this afternoon, A
gentleman was driving by when
his horse became dreadfully
frightened from some cause or
other, and ran away, turning over
the buggy and flirtgihg the gen
tleman out upon a heap of stones.
We carried him in, and James
went for the doctor; his arm was
dislocated, and 1 fear ho i hurt
otherwise, but the dotor is gone 1
now, and James and ine'a alone
and I’m that nervous, if you
would only walk down with me
and stay a bit, I should be mon
strous glad.’’
“Did he tell his name?”
“No, Miss Jennie, and we do not
like to ask him, he seems to de
sire not to fell anything about
himself. But he’s a gentleman,
you can fell that quick enough .”
‘ Wail until I get my hat and I
will return with you, I trust lie is
not hurt at badly as you think.”
He was a gentleman and no
mistake, Jessie saw that at a
glance, and noted him calmly
courteous he was to Mary aud her
husband, albeit he seemed suffer
ing severely.
“Miss Harris, sir, who visits
sick folks a good deal, and I fan
cied might cheer you up a triffle
and send words to your frjpnds if
you wish.”
Jessie fancied he was smiling a
little behind his moustache at
Mary’s quaint introduction, as he
bowed and answered:
“Good evening. Mis Hnrria, this
unfortunate accident is nothing
dangerous, thanks for your kind
intentions bat I think I shall be
able to return to my friends in a
day or two, therefore will not
needlessly alarm them.”
Thus he turned aside the evi
dent wish to know who he was,
rand,although he talked but lit
tle, Jessie noticed that he seldom
removed his gaze from her, and
his handsome gray eyes told a
story of admiration and interest.
.He was a man of probably forty
years, large, fine looking and pos
sessed of exceeding grace of
manner.
Tne day or Lwo’fl illness lasted
over a week. Jessie called a
few times, but noting bis increas
ing admiration, prudently fore
bore to go longer, and he went
away one day without more ado
than a good-by and good wishes
left wjtli Mary for her.
Jessie wondered wiiy she felt
so lonely, arid tried to believe it
was all owing to Hattie’s absence.
Long, bright letters came from
Hattie, full of love and admirtion
for her husband aud her beauti
ful home.
“Papa Singleton is just splen
did, he kissed me tenderly when
we came home from the lakes,
and called me little dauhgter, and
bade me a glad welcome home,
i cannot tell you how happy I am,
dear Jessie. But pap* Singleton
said something so queer this
mnrning, he asked Charlie if he
would not prefer a handsome new
house all to himself. Charlie
tttld him this was quite good
enough for him, and the old gen
tleman niy smiled and said no
more. 1 hope he isn’t tired of us
so soon; lie is very kind and £
can not believe it. we are com
ing down 6oen, and the old gen
tleman is coming wit* us; yew
need not feel bitter against him
now, and I know father will enjoy
his wise, pleasant talk.” •
“So we ere to have a visit from
the old bear himself, are we F?
laughed Jessie. “Well, mtma,
we wifi entertain him the
best we know bow for Hattie's
sake, and try and forget how he
clouded oar wedding day.”
With a little cry of rapture,
Hattie flung herself from the car
riage and rused to Jessie at the
gate, and thence to her mother in
the doorway.
With a warm cl asp,Charlie frisk
k JesSie\ hand, shd if! his
friedfy voice exclaimed:
‘'Delightful t 6 meet yon, sister
Jessie. This is father !” and he
too passed on to her mother.
Jessie started back with a little
cry of surprise, for the fall, hand
some gentleman who was regard
ing her with such tfierry, admir
ing iyW, she recognized instant
ly as the sick gentleman whom
Mary had cared for.
“Will it. makn my welcome,
any the less kind because I am
Charlie's father? I would have
acknowedged at once who I was*
only I knew you were prejudiced,
I had behaved so badly toward
Charlie and bis bride—bat I
could not bear the thought of my
idoliaed child drifting awy from
me. Remorse overtook me, and
1 was just going to the wedding
when the accident occurred. That
is aIL”
Bat Jessie knew that was not
all, and blushed furiously when,
before they parted for the night,
Charlie’s father found her alone a
moment and asked:
“Won’t you-like me a little for
Chariie’ssake I '
Certainly,” she replied, trying
to appear nonchalant.
“And a good deal more for my
own ?”
And somehow, before she know
it, almost,Ae had drawn her ioo
bia arise and kissed her with ex
asperating assurance.
With hot cheeks she fled up
stairs, but with*a haopy beating
“Guing to gut married 1 and to
our Jessie. Hurrah for the gov
ernor!” and, Charlie tossed his
cap to the ceiling, and gave Jes
sie a rough embrace as he kissed
her and called her “little mother.’’
“You can build the new house
now, father, I object no longer.*
“And you'rd'to (harry the ‘old
curmudgeon’ after all,” laughed
Hattie, “and you don't hate him
a mile,either.”
Throw Up Yous Hands,
“Gentlemen will please throw
up their hands.” Such is the po
lite manner iu which a Missouri
train robber usually addresses a
car load of passengers is he ap
pears at the door, playfully cov
ering them with a revolver ex
tended m each hand. Perhaps
there is a ,|>a*ty engaged in a
game of euchre or .old siedge;
they promptly throw up their
hands without a murmur, no mat
ter how interesting a crisis there
may be in the game. Men par
tially paraiized in their arms have
been known to throw up their
bands at this summons with an
alacrity surprising to themselves
and every body else.
“Throw up my hands 1” said a
man who was relating an experi
ence with train robbera that he
had been through. “1 had flO,-
000 in a belt around my body, all
that I had made in six. years of
mining life in California, and
when 1 heard the command and
realised how useless resistance
was, as the gang surrounding the
car was armed to the teeth, I not
only threw up my hands, but the
thought of loosing my money
mAdetne so sick, that I nearly
threw wp my hoots-1*
The situation doesn’t admit of a
moment’s hesitation, and eyery
man knows it. A move meat is
the direction of • weapon would
not escape tho alert oyo of the
robber; and it would be the ina-
mediate signal for * shot. Brave
men think and braggards boast
of what they would do under
such circumstances, bat when
suddenly confronted by a aedbad
revolver and the stem command
that signfles surrender, the bands
are vei*y apt to go up, though the
situation be a humiliating one.
Such attacks are generally made
at night, while most of the pas
e are asleep Shd off guard,
and then there is the uncertainty
’as to the number of the gang.
Jesse James one© said the brav
’est man he ever knew he encoun
tered in an attempt to rob a pas
senger train. The fellow stood
on the platform of a car and cool
ly exchanged six or eight shots
with the gang. Admiring liis
bravery. Jesse shouted to him to
cease firing and they wouldn’t
molest his car. “i’ll bet you
won’t.’t said he, "while I'm here;”
The robber captain said he

of his ban?. But he ffid ooteun

on the side of right, might prove
