ATLANTA DAILY CONSTITUTION.
WE HAVE FEW PROMISES TO MAKE FOR
The Constitution for 1879. The paper
speaks for itself, and upon that ground the man
agers,offer it to tii<* public as the best, the bright
est, the newsiest and the most complete daily
journal published in the South. This is the ver
dict of our readers, and the verdict of the most
critical of our exchanges, some of whose opinions
we take pleasure in presenting below.
The managers will be pardoned for briefly al
luding to some of the features which have given
the Constitutaon prominence among Southern
papers.
I. It prints all the news, both by mail and tel
egraph.
11, Its telegraphic service is fuller than that of
any other Georgia paper—its special dispatches
placing it upon a footing, so lar as the news is
concerned, with the metropolitan journals.
111. Its compilation of the news by mail Is the
freshest of the best, comprising everything of
interest in the current newspaper literature of
the day.
IV. Its editorial department is full, bright and
vivaciovs, and its paragraphs and opinions are
more widely quoted than those of any Southern
journal. It discusses all questions of public in
terest. and touches upon all current themes.
V. ‘‘Bill Arp,” the most genial of humorests.
will continue to contribute to its columns, “Old
Si” and “Unde Remus” will work in their special
fields, and will furnish tun both in prose ami
verse.
VI. It is a complete news, family and agricul
tural journal. It i§ edited with the greatest care,
and its columns contain everything of intere st
in the domain of politics, literature and science.
VII. In addition to these, full reports of the
Supreme Court, and of the proceedings of the
General Assembly, will be published, and no pains
will be spared to keep the paper to its present
standard.
What the Critics Say.
The best paper In the South.—Keokuk Consti
tution.
The ablest paper of the South.—Burlington
Hawkeye.
One Oi the most desirable Journals in the coun
try.—Detroit Feee 1-re-s.
The brightest and newsiest daily paper in the
South.—Baltimore Gazette.
There is no better newspaper in the Southern
States. —Charlotte Observer.
Steadily advancing toward the position of a
metropolitan journal.—Selma Times.
It is one l the brightest most enterprising,
and withal most liberal of Southern journals.—
Brooklyn Times.
Not content with being the best newspapi r in
the South, is determined to be the best looking
also. —Philadelphia Times.
Ably edited and newsy always, in its new dress
it is as attractive in lorm as it has heretofore
been in matter.—New Orleans Democrat.
The Atlanta Constitution with its new clothes,
is now the handsomest, as itiias long been the
best, newspaper in the South.—New York Star.
The Aiianta Constitution has been making
steady progress the last lew years, and may
now fairly claim a place among the first lialt
bozen Southern newspapers.—Springfield Repub
lican.
To say that The Constitution' is one of the
brightest, newsiest journals of the country, a
piper which the whole South may well be proud,
is out to state a self-evident fact apparent to all.
—Washington Post.

THE BALTIMORE DAILY SUN, by its faithful
adherence throughout its whole career to sound

standing it is determined to maintain, and give

In politics THE SUN naturally adheres to the
position which it has always held, with universal
approval, of a National, Independent and Con

Look Not Upon the Mince Pie
When it is Red.
My friends, there is another rock
I wish all to guard against. It is
hidden by the still summer sea, bat
upon it many a human hark has
split. I refer to miuce pic. Yes,
my hearers, the miuce pie is a rock
that has brought thousands to
watery graves—or, not to watery
graves, exactly, but—you under
stand what I mean. The mince pie
is the curse of the land. It is allur
ing briety, and leading them down
to ruin. It begets an appetite for
strong drink that sweeps everything
before it. Look not upon the ac
cursed thing. Shun it as you would
a viper. Sit on it; trample it under
your feet, as it were.
I once knew a brilliant young
man, loved and courted by all who
knew him. His is the story of
thousands. This young man used
to visit his aunt in the fall, that
fatal time of the year when the
mince pie stalks up and down
through the earth, seeking where it
may devour somebody. This young
man’s aunt could make a miuce pie
till you couldn’t rest, and her art
lured him to destruction. That in
satiable monster! -At first he ate
lightly of the damning food; then,
as his appetite grew by what it fed
upon, he ate deeper and deeper,
until after every meal he would sink
into a heavy sleep, only to awake
with a head on him bigger than
Daniel Webster’s. He would chew
cloves and cardamon seeds for
hours, and yet you could smell his
breath across the biggest county in
the state. He saw that he was be
coming a slave to the accursed pi<.
His ulhauced bride, who to him was
ihe oue fair woman beneath the
sun, said she would never marry a
man that smelled like a distillery
that employed three hurdred hands
and was in lull blast all the time,
and unless he reformed she would be
nothing to him but a sister. The
young man had all the sisters ho
wanted, and, falling at her feet, he
registered a solemn oath, and had
it copyrighted next day, that a mince
pie should never pass iiis lips again
as loug as ho lived. Hut alas! he
was already a slave to strong pie,
and in less than twenty-four hours
he tore himself away from his sweet
heart, who made a frantic grab at
bis coattails, and tied to his aunt’s
iu the city, and said he hoped she
would have some of her excellent
mince pies for dinner
The good aunt, ignorant of the
fact that she was putting an enemy
in his mouth to steal his brains, set
’em up, so to speak, and in less than
two hours the young man was rip
roaring, staving drunk, as usual.
Ah! my friends, the story is a glr al
ly one, and needs no embellish
ment. While in this condition the
young man, the pride of his parents
and the hope of a woman’s heart,
was arrested for drunkardness and
disorderly conduct. On the way to
the mayor’s ollice he shot the officer
dead in his tracks, blew out his ow n
brains with another barrel of the
pistol, and then went back and killed
his aunt and a dog that he had paid
$3 for.
My friends and fellow-sufferers,
from the mince pie to tbe tomb is
but a step If mince pies must be
made, I demand, in the name of the
youth of our country, that people
who manufacture them be compelled
to take out a licence. If they must
be eaten, I beg, for soul’s salvation,
do not eat them straight. Ten
thousand devils lie beneath every
crust, be it baked ever so nicely.
Every currant hides its demon with
a forked tongue of flame and a
seven-pronged pitch-fork. The suet,
the citron and the chopped meat
are tho broth of hell, and the whole
business, from stern to stern, is a
mockery, and strong drink is rag
ing.
In conclusion,nay beloved hearers,
touch not,taste not, handle not —en-
ter not into temptation; or, in other
words, look not upon the uiiuce pie
when it is red when it giveth its
color in the cupboard.
A young niau in Oshkosh saw a
young lady home from an evening
gathering. She invited him into
tlie parlor and gave him an arm
chair. It is said that when he left
he had some difficulty in getting
away from the chair, which having
been newly varnished, held him fust.
It cost $2 50 to get his garments
cleaned, which served him right.
A man who will stick to one chair
an entire evening, and never offer
to “move up” deserves to be stuck
there eternally. It is the only posi
tion in life be is titted for.
An observing writer says uo true
woman will ever marry a man so
tall that she cannot reach his hair.
*2.5© A YEAR.
A Hint for Boys.
A philosopher has said that Jine
education for hoys is to “teach them
what they ought to know when they
become men.’ T
What is it they onght to know,
then ?
1. To he true; to be genuine. No
education is worth anything that
docs not include this. A man had
better not know how to read—be
had better never learn a in the al
phabet, and be true and genuine in
intention and action, rather than, be
ing learned in all sciences and in all
langnages, to be at the same tkne
false at heart and counterfeit in life.
Above all things, teach the boys
that truth is more than riches,
more than culf are, more than earthly
power or position.
2. To be pure in thought, lan
guage and life— pure in mind and
in body. An impure man, young
or old, poisoning the society wher
he moves with smntty stories and
impure example, is a moral ulcer, a
plague-spot, a leper, who ought to
be treated as were the lepers of old,
who were banished from society and
compelled to cry, “Unclean,” ns a
warning to save othere from the
pestilence.
3. To be unselfish. To care for
the feelings and comfort of
To bo polite. To be just in all deal
ings with others. To be generous,
noble and innnly. This will include
a genuine reverence far the aged
and things sacred.
4. To be self-reliant, and seTf
helpful, even from early childhood.
To be industrious always and self
supporting at the earliest proper
age. Teach them that all honest
work is honorable, and that an idle,
useless life of independence on.
others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these
things; when he has made these
ideas a part of his being—however
young he may he, however poor, or
however rich, he has learned some
of the most important things he
ought to know when he becomes a
man. With these four properly
mastered, it will be easy to find all
the rest.
Teach Your Boys.
Teach them that a true lady may
be found in calico quite as frequent
ly as in velvet.
Tench t hem that a common school
education with common sense, is far
better than a college edneation
without it.
Teach them that one good, honest
trade, well mastered, is worth a
dozen beggarly “professions.”
Teach them that honesty is the
hi st policy, tiiat ’tie better to be
poor than to be rich on the profits
of “crooked whiskey,” ete., and
point jour precept by the examples
of those who are now suffering the
torments of the doomed.
Teach them to respect their elders'
and themselves.
Teach them that, as they expect
to be men some day, that they can
not too soon learn to protect th
weak and helpless.
Teach them by your own example
that smoking in moderation, though
the least of vices to which men ar
heirs, is disgusting to others and
hurtful to themselves.
Teach them that to wear patched
clothes is no disgrace, but to wean
a black eye is.
Teach them that God is no re
specter of sex, and that when be
gave the seventh commandment, He
meant it for them as well as for
their sisters.
Teach them that by indulging
their depraved appetites in the worst
forms of dissipation, they are not fit
ting themselves to become tbe hus
bands of pure girls.
Teach them that it is better to be
an honest man seven days in the
week than to be a Christain (?) one
day and a villain six days.
The Bovs.—The boy who is per
mitted to grow up in idleness is
sure to be a worthless man. Pa
rents should keep their sobs at
home reading good newspapers and
books instead of letting them run
wild about the streets learning the
soft and voluptons waves of vice
and who waste the spring of youth
in lawless riotousness. Idleness is
the nurse of sin, and it is far better
for parents, who have not the means
to educate their children, to give
them trades, whereby they can
make a livelihood when grown to
manhood and thrown upon life's
turbulent voyage to steer for them
selves. It is far belter to have a
trade than to be a loafer and sot.
