THE OGLETHORPE ECHO. PUB I LSI! El) WEEKLY BY T. L. GANTT. Editor and Prop’r. Friday Morning, Dec. 18, 1874. -AJV ESSAY BY MISS WORTIE M. LESTER, READ BEFORE Lexington Lodge, No. 316,1.0. G. T. To theWVorthy Officer* and Members of Lexington Lodge, No. 316, /. 0. G T. : Kind Friends: —l have been request ed by our Worthy Chief to write an es say for the benefit of our noble Order, and it becomes my most pleasant duty to thank you for the very distinguished honor you have thus conferred upon me. And, first, dear friends, let me assure you that although I feel inadequate to the duty imposed, and should I prove, as I apprehend, unable to advance anything worthy of your attention ; still, in return for this honor, please to remember to re ceive not only my heart-felt thanks, but my earnest labors. I feel an uncommon interest in this organization, for under no other consideration would I supply so conspicuous a position, and it will ever prove a source of great pleasure to be the means of yielding anything for its benefit. I have chosen no particular theme for the subject of my essay, nor do I deem it essay—but merely a friendly talk—in fact, our Order itself furnishes sufficient themes for our mutual edification. But to our talk— Varying and fleeting is the grand and glittering panorama which is placed in “ Life’s Picture Gallery ” to attract and rivet the attention of man, and various are the pictures hung on the walls to re tain his gaze; but these differ not only in the tintings and colors, but also in the lessons designed to teach. Notice, for instance, that one in which a cloudless sky bends over a glittering mass of water, while the waves with graceful motion kiss and fondle the wide-spreading beach of white sand; breezes, perfumed with the spicy breath of fair Araby, seem to fan the radiant shores—such is the landscape which hangs in the Studio of Life, and although such pictures may be very pleasant to contemplate, still we do not propose to linger. This view may be as bright and enticing as the brilliant landscape which lay spread out before the wonder-stricken Phoebus, as with his prancing steed he stands preparatory to the long journey. This scene may be radiant and bright, but remembering that it is far too ethe real and fancy for real life, we turn as it fades from our gaze. Ah! a sadder pic ture greets us—but one, I regret to say, far more real and life-like. Behold in a room in which the cold, biting winds of Mid-winter whistles and sport carelessly ; outside a barren and chilly prospect appeal’s ; snow , aye, the cold, white snow, covers the bare roof; hut within is a sadder, far sadder scene ; crouching over a few’ coals, striving, in vain, to restore the warmth to her be numbed fingers, to enable her to proceed while she sews, and the blinding tears flow ceaselessly down her pallid cheeks, do we see a miserable woman, “ poor sufferer, whose lot her God only knows ! ” Far off in a corner lies a starving and shivering child, starving for w’ant of nourishment to rekindle the flickering flame of life; freezing, while a cold per spiration of Death gathers on its brow. But harki a step startles us, and a bloated mass of humanity enters. Mad dened by the squalid misery he beholds ; curses falling from his lips ; reeling and staggering towards the hearth, he seizes a black bottle, only to rush from the aceneof desolation which his own hand aas caused, only to drown his sorrow in . another drink. _ Palmetto ami ~ FutriCf-<i Fat he r in Fairhum, J heart only emotions often ("amllton„ ij *1 , , -ss ana love should throb: at whose lo\vd<m, . _ ; . Frankh J°? s K>u * arise > in- Ilear' oad of the P* cheeks and downcast M' t'ycs which greet his entrance ?|H T Sad thought! but sad though it be,, it is nevertheless true, and need I tell you cause ? The demon of Intoxication, tkft wily old serpent, Strong Drink, crept into a once happy home, and mark the state of affairs which followed its en trance. The father once noble and distinguish ed, occupying an elevated position in <3, social life, learned jo “ look upon the F wine when it was red, when it givefh its Fv color cup,” unmkwlt'ul of the sol- Dc*woUid follow. Hats the taste for strong drink utcreas- Conyors appeared as links of flow- Covingtr ut > at last* they were woven into hanv *§ fetters of brass, binding the wil- X > h-oB; victim. Deeper and deeper he sinks ( xu.into its meshes ; lower, still lower, he N i .escends into poverty,dragging his help 'i n u wife with him.. Friends, once faith- Tfo alone with adversitv ; and now in Emorv ’ ; tU| j cofdition in which we find he realizes these sad words, “■ at last. it biteth like a serpent and stingest like an adder.” Can it be that man, created in the image of his Maker, is thus blind ed and infatuated by the arch fiond ? Friends, is this picture too highly tinted ? Can you say that it is the result of an enthusiastic imagination? No, ah ! no, it is too true !! But I would now ask you what are you doing under such circumstances? What to baffle the fierce fiend, “Rum,” the fearful messenger of Death ? “ Shall we fold our hands and bid him pass, As he has passed before, Leaving his deadly poisoned draught At every unbarred door?” Is this our mission on earth, we who have enlisted under the banner whose staff is Faith, whose motto, Hope, and whose beautiful material, Charity ? Shall we stand idly by, w’hile far around us, life’s sea is strewn with wrecks, the dead, the dying, the helpless, the hopeless — all left to perish amid the roaring waves ? Shall we remain lifeless, making no ef fort to reclaim the lost ones, to com for the w’eary wife, and calm the suffering mother’s woes? Then the thirsty lion enters their homes, and— “ Causes a wife’s fond heart to break, And makes her children’s tears to flow.” Are these the lasting benefits to be gained, the noble lessons to be taught by these three words, Faith, Hope, Charity ? When the solemn obligation w’as repeat ed, did we promise to stand with our hands folded in proud silence, attempt ing nothing for our noble cause, there fore achieving nothing ? Far from us be such a thought—no, “ Nobler the motives that each should inspire; Holier the work in which each has a part— Self should be lost in the fierce melting fire That purges the dross from the great human heart.” Let us work and labor for our noble cause; raise your voice of condemnation against the destructive draught, and en deavor, with all your might, to dethrone the most abandoned ruler that ever sway ed a sceptre, unmindful of the widow’s groan and the wail of anguish sent up by fatherless orphans. “ Man, rouse thee and list to the wail of thy brother, Man, lieafken, thy sister is pleading her part— God made thee their keeper, and not on an other The blame can ye shift when they knock at thy heart!” Battle earnestly, and you will certainly vanquish the foe. This is a Temperance duty, for have you not the sweetest words to cheer you onward ? Is not the order founded on these words, “ Faith, Hope, Charity.” Faith, the golden link ’twixt the abode of the Blessed. Redeemer, and this sin-cursed world. Hope, the beacon star, gilding their pathway to that home where it is changed to glad fruition. Charity, the noblest virtue, combining the purest sentiments, Sympathy, For giveness, Meekness. Charity, the re frain of the Angels’ heralding song, “ Gofd will to man! ” the sweetest words to comfort man this side of Heaven. If you will heed these words, and work nobly for the cause of Temperance, soon the reign of King Alcohol will be ended, and where once crime and misery spread over our land, prosperity and peace will reign; the wife’s tears will be dried, the mother’s heart comforted. Is this assur ance not worth our earnest labors, all of which will be effected by the advance ment of the Temperance cause ? In the meantime, the lady members are not exempt from this labor, for al though they are not expected to battle in the conflict of public life, buffeted by the sharp winds of adversity, still they may give their influence to this cause at their own homes. None are exempt from this great w ork; “ Every hand, though small and feeble, can work out some good or ill.” Yes, let us build up the monument of Temperance, until it shall meet the sun in its coming, and the last rays of declining day shall play around its summit. Then when the roar of life’s billows has tolled far away—then, and not till then, —at our Saviour’s feet, shall we humbly learn tlw lessons of Faith, Hope and Charitv ! Let us labor assiduously; still remem bering “ To Hope, though clouds environ now, And gladness hides her face with scorn; — Put thou the shadows from the brow, There is no night but hath its morn. “ Have Faith, where e’er thv bark is driven ; The calm ■s disport— the tempest’s mirth— Know this God rules the host of Heaven, And all the inhabitants of earth. “ Have Charity ! not charity alone for one, But man as man, thy brother call, And scatter like the circling sun Thy charities on all! ’* min Tappan, of Ohio, that when he ap plied to the Judges of the Supreme ‘ Court for admission to the bar of the State, he asked the fallowing ques tions, to which he gave the answers as follows: “Mr. Tappan, what is law?” Answer —‘‘An unjust distribution of justice “Mr. Tappan, vrhat is equity?” Answer—“A and -d imposition upon commou sense.” No other questions were asked, and he \rjis given a certifi ; cate of admission.

It was es tablished as a representative Republican jour nal, and the members of the Republican partv in the IV est gave-it cordial welcome from the first. For this we are thankful, and we shall alwavs endeavor to repay the favor in the best possible manner, whieh'is by proving that we deserve it. W Idle the GLOBE will always be in the front to sustain the Republican partv and measures, it will reserve the right, as it is its duty, or the duty of any newspaper, to opj>ose measure not in unison witJi Republican pi inei])]es. althofiifh it may emanate from men acknowledging allegiance to the Republican party.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING HEWS, o It wonld require the scope of quite a large volume to contain the good things that are said about the Mokniso N kws bv its contempora ries of the Southern press. It is almost dailr referred to as “the l>est daily in the South, 5 ’ “ the leading Georgia daily*’’ etc., and it is generally conceded to be in all respects a model Southern newspaper. This is the same that the Morxikg News covets, and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it still worthier of the confidence and patronage of the people of Georgia and Flori da. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to the improvement of the pa per in respect to its already large facilities for gathering the current news of the day, and iu stall of special correspondents lias been reor ganized with a view to meeting every possible contingency that may arise. Although the Mousing News has hut little or no competition within the field of its circu lation, nevertheless no effort wiil be considered too expensive that gives the earliest and fresh est information to its readers. 111 this respect there will he no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far ahead ot all its contemporaries. The features that have rendered the paper so popular will be maintained. The editorial department will be conducted with the same dignineu though tf conservative vigor and earnest devotion to principle that have al ways characterized it. The nicy reliability of 5 f.i >til ' a,H t 3 e accu raey and complement* of the commercial departments, will he kept up to the old standard, and improvements wiil be made wherever they are suggested by ex perience.
