JAS. W. ROBERTSON, Aprt-8-tf General Superintendert- Woman’s Happy Smile. There Is a ray that cheers the heart, Relieves it for a while, Though sorrow crush it e’er so low; ’Tis woman’s nappy smile. When time Is wished to pass with speed, What can the hours beguile, And make them pass without regret, Like woman's happy smile f If friends forsake, if fortune frown. And thoae we loved revile, Still we’re not frienless if we own a woman’s happy smile. And when life’s journey nears it end. She’s there, devoid of guile; But in those scenes her heart is such She cannot, cannot smile. A Bright Thought. Life was thill—life was very dull for Jack Gerald. A bright, active, well cultured young fellow, set down by fate in the dullest and most common place of iittle towns, and chained there by tli 3 inexorable necessity for earn ing his living. The idea was odious. It was raining; the sky was dull, the streets misty, the plank sidewalks slippery with slime. There was a horse mired at the corner; an alarm of tire breaking out, and no engine in the place. Jack sulkily adjusted bis cravat as iie looked out at the window upon this state of things as existing at Homer. What if the horrible little new place burned down, wouldn’t it be a good thing ? No, tout would not do. He must work or starve, a.d be bad been appointed to a very good situation in this objectionable place, this distaste lul new Western town. He took his bat and went down to tbe office, the telegraph post of which be was opera tor. Dismal day —bare, chilly—be was so tired of it ! This sort of thing wasn’t living, it was existing after tbe most meagre fashion. The freight agent came i i, whist ling. Will Rosely was always whist ling, but then Rosely bad a pretty wife and a cottage home of his own all paid for, a neat nest of a place set in n'ice green lawns and shaded by trees. “Is ty, Geralil, you’re going to lose youi p’tit'e !” Rosely stopped whistling to say this. “What do you mean ?” asked Jack. “D icy, the superintendent, is going to put his niece in here—Mary Dacy —my wife knows her. She had a let ter from Mary herself. She says she has been learning telegraphy and has been appointed to this place. Your’e to be set aside for the present.” Jack grew angry immediately. “So much for the equality of sexes ! What if I had a family, now? Sup port for half a dozen children cut off for a slip of a girl! But I dout believe it s' true. “You wilt,” rejoined Rosely, conise ly- Sure enough he did. In three days he was .turned out of his place to make room for Miss Mary Dacy, the niece of the superintendent. The young lady arrived and Jack pre pared to take his departure. For he intended departing, of course. Whither he hardly knew. There was no other appointment ready for him. An alarming situation —a rainy day, in earnest. And now Homer —poor little Ho mer. looked desirable. It was anew place, and he was anew man He bad bis fortune to make. He had come West from the worn out acres of his ancestral home, with this end in view. His grumbling and discontent looked very foolish now- Hu had been well off Of com si ‘•To all some rain must fall, Some dtiye must be dark and dreary ” and he ought to have been plucky and better satisfied while be was doing well. f'What a fool !” mentally anathema tizing himself. He only wished lie had lost bis situation, be would ask nothing better for the present, lblt there was no use for regrets, he would try not to whine. And he wouldn’t treat Miss Dacy like a bear. He would go down and say good-by to her. She had been polite to him. So he walked down to the office in the Spring sunshine. As he entered the door the familiar clicking made him a little home-sick. Miss Mary Dacy was employed with the reception of a message. She was a slight little tiling, with silky braids of her own natural hair and some bits of curls hanging above her eyes. But a more dignified little lady be bad seldom seen. She understood her business, too, iudisputably. When she was at leisure, sho turn ed and spoke to him. “I called to bid you good-by. lam going East in the morning,' said •Irek Miss Dacy did not speak. She looked troubled. Jack colored a little; he thought she wasproud. But suddenly she* looked up, with sweet, regretful eyes. “Mr. Gerard, it seems very hard that you should be turned out of your situation. You see I know how it is.” / Jack did not know what to reply. ‘,l am very sorry,” she murmured. “I need the place,” said Jack, bluntly. “And I need tlie place, too,” she murmured, earnestly. “And I am a lone woman.” “Women ought not to be doing public service, they ought to betaken care of!” exclaimed Jack. “By whom ?” ‘ By their husbands.” “But I haven’t any husband.” They looked straight at each other. Miss Dacy a little indignant, Jack a little'frightened by what he had said. But through the alarm and bewil derment and pain of the moment, Jack saw how very sweetly pretty Mary Dacy was, and—Jack had a bright thought—he nerved himself, and took a#tap in tbe dark. “Miss Dacy, you might have a hus band. Will you marry me V” Mary Dacy looked at him penetra tingly. He had a handsome manly face of his own, had Jack. He heard In r catch her breath; but then her answer came calmly. “Possibly 1 might.” Jack did not leave Homer. The next week he was reappointed. He is there now. Mary Dacy is his wife. Wasn’t' it a bright thought ? For they are both so happy ! Meeting of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee. Atlanta, Ca., July 1, 1574. Executive Committee met at ten a. rn„ Colonel Hardeman in the chair, and the following gentlemen wire found to be present: Hon. Augustus Reese, Hon. James H. Hunter, Hon. 11. Fielder, Col. Mark Blanford, Hon, L. N. Trammell, Col. John L. Harris. Col. J. C. Nicholls, Hon. J. H. Chris ty, Hon. Thus. G. L .wsod, Col. I. IV. Avery, and Col. J. S. Boynton. The Chair stated that the principal object of the call of the meeting was to prevent nominations before the ad journment. of Congress. The Chair announced the appoint ment of Hon. Martin J. Crawford, to till the vacancy in the Columbus Dis trict. He read a letter from Colonel Crawford stating that he was unable to attend, and appointing Col. Mark Blanford to act for him. There being no objection lie took his s at. It was stated by the Chair-that in several oi the Congressionaf Districts there was no Executive Committee, and suggested that some action should he taken. Colonel Blanford moved the call of a State Convention. The motion was discussed in a conversational manner, and finally decided in the negative. Ci louel Trammell moved that the Chairman be instructed to issue an address, embodying tbe views of the committee. The Chairman stated that he had prepared a brief statement of the polltictil situation, which he read. Col. lteese moved that the state* mint be adopted as tbe action of the committee. Unanimously carried. 7b the Democratic Parly of Gear (fa: You are soon to engage in another election for the control of your State. Your recent victories should not make you over confident of success. The opposition are thoroughly organized for the conflict, are your forces ready for the field? Is there union and har mony in jour ranks? Union is suc cess, division is defeat. Select good men, able men to lead you and give them a united, cordial, hearty sup port - Be not divided by local issues, beware of jealousies arising from “claims overlooked” “stocked conven tions” and personal prejudice. These are weapons furnished by a skillful en emy to break your ranks and defeat vour cause. Look with distrust upon “peoples tickets,” citizens ‘candidates’ when brought forward in opposition to your regular nominees. They are subterfuges generally of disappointed aspirants, who are used by the oppo sition to defeat your organization. We cannot afford to destroy or weak en the Democratic party. It has res cued the State from Radical misrule; it has broken the alliance that existed between power aud crime ;it has check ed the system of public plnurler, which was driving our people to bankruptcy and min; it has restored the control of the government to the virtue and intelligence of the State. It has given Georgia a position in the Union be yond that of her unfortunate sisters of the South. Will you, relying upon your mojority. grow listless and un concerned ? Remember bleeding South Carolina. Will you split into petty jealusies, and endanger your $2.50 A YEAR. suceoss? Think of down-trodden Louisiana. Will you, by a thirst for position and place, distract and di vide your forces ? Look at plundered Florida and determine that in this contest, patroitism shall guide your actions, and love of State shall con trol your aspirations and your hopes. Your defeat is Radical rule, and Rad ical rule is oppression, civil rights bills, social degradation, plunder and bankruptcy. Your success gives as surance of constitutional government, enforcement of law and maintenance of rigid. The cause is worthy of your efforts; its success should be the da}’- star of your ambition. Individual le sponsibility >s essential to a favorable termination of the struggle. Let the campaign be quick, sharp, decisive. Look well to your nominating con ventions, see to it that none but men of integr'ty are offered to the people for their support.—men who will spurn the rings; that would raid upon your Treasury, men who look only to the interest and honor of the State, and with such men to bear your standard, you will command a victory. In tbe Federal elections there is great need of action. Indifference before gave Georgia men in Congress who would have inflicted upon tbe white people of the State injuries and insults too revolting to contemplate. Justice to yourselves, justice to your children, justice to peace and good Order, jus tice to humanity, justice to an igno rant race they would ruin, under the guise of friendship, all require of you action, decisive effort, unceasing labor to brand these men with the seal of condemnation and remove them from a position they have degraded. Men of Georgia, the issue is with you—it is big with consequences. Do your duly and all will be well with you and yonr noble old States, Respectfully submitted, •Thos. Hardeman, Ja. Chairman Bern. Ex. Corn. Introduced by Col. Fielder: Resolved, That tbe Democratic par ty of this State be earnestly requested to organize thoroughly in every coun ty, so as to secure perfect harmony and united action, and the earnest co operation of every voter in the party. That we urge upon every voter of the party to see to it, that lie be legally qualified to vote, and upon tbe tr.ann gers of elections to see to it, that the law of the State carried prohibiting illegal voting is rigidly enforced. Introduced by Colonel Avery and amended as follows: Resolved, That the Democratic par* ty in the Congressional Districts that have no District Executive Committee be recommended to hold Congress ional conventions where the last Con gressional Convention convened, and the said conventions be held in the Fourth ou the 2d Wednesday in Sep tember; in the Fifth, on Wednesday, the 19th of August; and in the First, on the first Wednesday iD September, and in the Eighth, if there be no ac ting committee, that the convention be held on the first Wednesday in September. Carried Introduced by,Colonel Reese: Resolved, That we suggest th at the personal attendance by aspirants for Congress, upon primareis and county meetings, for the purpose of election eering for the nomination, is disre spectful to tbe delegates, and unbe coming the dignity of the office s#Ught. Carried. Col. Jones resigned as committee man on account of inability to attend. Thos. Hardeman, Chairman. I. W. Avery, Secretary. Effects of Worry- That the effects of worry are more to be dreaded than those of simple bard work is evident from noting the classes of persons who suffer most from the effects of mental overstrain. The case-book of the physician shows that it is the speculator, tbe betting man, the railway manager, tbe great merchant, the superintendent of large manufacturing or commercial works, who most frequentfy exhibits the symptoms of cerebral exhaustion. Mental cares accompanied with sup pressed emotion, occupations liable to great vicissitudes of fortune, and those which involve the bearing on tbe mind of a multiplicity of intricate details, eventually break down the lives of the strongest. In estimating what may be called the staying powers of dif ferent minds' under hard work, it is alway necessary to take early train ing into account. A young man cast suddenly into a position involving great care and responsibility, will break down in circumstances in which, had be been gradually habituated to the position, he would have performed its duties without difficulty. It is probably for tbis reason that tbe pro fessional classes generally suffer less from tbe effects of overstrain than others. — Chuinber\< Jott^al.
