Editor Southron: —Convinced of the fact that our recent remarkable weather,.which was not local, is con nected with the red light and cy clones; convinced of the fact that everybody has had time and oppor tunity to give the true cause of the latter and have not done so, nor has any one connected the red light and cyclones which are closely allied, one being indicative of the ultimate spir itual effects of the cause ©f the other, I shall now endeavor to show and prove both. Asa fair sample of what has been written on the subject I will state that some time since there ap peared in the Piedmont Press, pub lished at this place, a communication purporting to give the true cause, as any school boy ought to know, to use the author’s language, of the red light in the west. His true cause was the extremely dry season we had just passed through which rarifying the atmosphere caus ed the red rays of light to predomi nate. If this was the true cause, does it not seem strange that the extremely wet season we have had since, in removing the cause, did not take the effect with it? It appears to me that the tremen dous defect in the volcanic dust the ory rides astride of this,'namely, that it is “too big a pony for such a little boo”; “and this also applies to all the theories I have seen in explacatioa of cyclones. Now r when it becomes pos sible to find causes where no. real causes exist, modern materialistic physicists will be gratified by finding what they so seriously seek. If this v is true, and real causes do not begin in nature, they must exist above it. Let us see if such is not the case. First, it is just as impossible for a cause to exist without an end, as it is for effects to exist without causes, for this trine is the fundamental law of all creation, is universal and insepa rable. Now in the production of every effect there are necessarily con cerned two causes which appear as otrein produclog, the effect, but wlin h are Uusvinetly two. First, a principle, active, or spiritual cause, and second, an instrumental, passive, or natural cause. This spiritual or active is the real cause, exists in and gives action to the instrumental or passive cause. To illustrate and prove: If you wanted to build a house to live in, you first desire a residence, which is the end; you next resolve to have it, which is the real cause; you next form a design, and with your minds eye you see every window, chimney, door and gable; you next employ car penters and put them to work. Now the spiritual or real cause, your reso lution, lias gone forth into the instru mental or natural cause, the workmen and through thorn produces the mate rial effect, ihe house. Let us see if this is true. Suppose you tell the carpenters to stop work, to leave the house half finished, don’t they do it? What then is the real cause, the ac tive principle that moves the work men, the thiag that builds the house? Your resolution, the spiritual cause. By this universal, immutable law of end, cau.se and eff ct, is executed the grandest actions of God, the creation of worlds, suns and systems, and the most minute actions of maa, the raising of a finger. Let us see how it applies to the red light and cyclones. The most ignorant recognize the fact that there can be no effects with- out corresponding causes, and no causes without corresponding effects, and neither the one or the other without ends; consequently that there can he no such thing as accident; therefore we have shown that resolu tions are the real causes; —they are like all thoughts, spiritual entities, and passing through raan, universally Ultimate themselves into material manifestations which, when for the public good, man’s spiritual liberty, the triumph of truth, the advance ment of God’s kingdom on earth, their manifestation does not stop in individuals or societies, but becomes cosmical, producing gigantic effects in significative natural correspon dences. About one hundred years ago liberty of thought, and conse quently liberty of the press sprung a leak. A few men began to receive new truths and to form them into new resolutions, renovating old ideas, doctrines, dogmas, and beliefs. The truths received and formulated by the few, have become the property of the many and multiplied ten fold, until to day wo have national free thought, national free press, and a national revolution in the domain of reason, or more correctly a national spiritual revolution. On all sides you see old dogmas and* false doctrines falling. . r ’' W;.. 1 K* . , THE PEOPLE MUST RILE IN AMERICAN POLITICS. >.. Jr "' GAINESVILLE, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1884. Men renouncing? the contradictory and dogmatic, and embracing the consistent and cysmical. Robert In gersoll is the greatest -spiritual icono clast the world has ever known.— Emanuel Swedenborg is the greatest spiritual builder Die world will eyer know. IngersdU’s.new isms are tear ing down older isms. Swedenborg’s truisms are buijiihg up the kingdom of God upon the rock of Holy Writ, and what 7 the effect of this spiritual revoluU&n when it passes through mind a/rd reaches its ulti mates in matter? Whirlwinds, cy clones and tornadoes, and over in the east we see the beautiful golden red ? correspondentiaiCcolor, significative of the dawn of tfte eternal golden age of the rule of reason by the light of truth. Now these linfs are not intended to give an exhaustive explanation of the subject, nor couljl I do so in one com munication, buk? to show the real cause or to point men’s minds to the world of causes. £ We all know that a true theory must be adequate to ex plain all the phenomena in connec tion with the subject, and have no contradictions; 'and we must know that no theory yet offered has reached the cause, or given an adequate, ©r consistent cause If there .could be such a thing a- a real cause com mencing in matter, their there is no need for a spiritual, and there would be no spiritual,%nd if these corporeal causes advance! are correct, then na ture is this universal ma chinery, and sKc not being sentient can have no ends or purposes, conse quently it must be a kind of happy go lucky affair? when she will stop these continent?! waltzing tours, and from the terlibly unnatural once more become -#T3 fashioned nature. But by no mjHMter of means'do these cover the ground. The great fault that afflicts these theories, is the same that is gnawing at the vitals of the vicarious atpnement theory which is, the former- make all the change in nature, and ’Vic latter makes all the change in GocQ *L -N are tm^mani restation of God through the spiritual world, and like Him, unchangeable. The same sunshine that makes the rose bud’s sweet perfume, makes quite a different odor in the dead pig. Does the sunshine change? The same sunshine that made oak trees grow, on the same spot of ground to day makes pine trees grow. Has the sunshine changed? No. The recep tacle of the sunshine has changed. Who changed it? Man. So comes every seeming change in nature.— The life that flows into the good lov ing and truth living naan, produces beautiful charity which is ultimated into correspondential natural bless ings; sheep and cattle, sunshine and showers. This same life flowing - into the hypocrite produces hatred, lies and malice, and is ulti mated into snakes and spiders, and such weather as we have been blessed with iately. When men recognize the fact that this is the posterior world and not the prior, and that the posterior is dependent upon the prior which must be immediately in and around it, and not off beyond the stars; When they recognize “the great spiritual law that nature is the pliant mould of the supernatural forces, and that all her facts have their specific relation to the spiritual parts of man”; when they, rake and ransack this spiritual world as they have the natural coun terpart and to love real truth, not apparent trull'., as they have self, money and fame, they will be at no loss to find causes for all effects, and cyclones beautifully less, while the golden red light, token of coming good, many shine on in the East and West, and the secou 1 saturaian and eternal golden age will brighten and bloom, beautify and bless the world. John B. Ware. In Minnesota several girls are rail road station agents. Everybody knows that a railroad station is the most forlorn place in the world, and Minnesota deserves the thanks of all railway travelers for thus transform ing a desert into a garden, a place of desolation into a paradise on earth. The Minnesota men are always on hand half an hour before the train leaves, and frequently half an hour after it has left, There is a strong suspicion that there is more gold in one or two counties in Georgia than in the Coeur d’Alene and Black Hills country put together. ' • A wealthy doctor who can help a poor man and will not without fee, has less sense of humanity than a poor ruffian who kills a rich man to supply his necessities. A WORD TO YOUNG MEN. It is doubtful if it fs best for a young man just emerging from school and entering into the business world to have any resources outside of his own brain and muscle. Those who have money in hand without experi ence very soon part with it, and those who are resolved to acquire experi ence, and to properly avail themselves of its teachings, will soon begin to accumulate money. The world is full of places and opportunities for the young man who is determined to be somebody and to do something in life. In this country almost every one may follow the bent of his own genius and choose his occupation, and the chances for success are largely in his favor if he will be only determined, industri ous, persevering. Legitimate success is not obtained by any shrewd manipulations or lucky speculations. These are questionable means of acquiring wealth even where they are successful, but they are only successful in one case out of a thous and. Youug men of limited means just beginning in business life should avoid them as they would the plague, not only on account of the great risks involved, but because of the demoral ization produced, whether the venture be pecuniarily fortunate or not. Solid legitimate success is only attained by patience, perseverance, industry and economy. When thus attained it is earned, and when earned it is appre ciated and devoted to legitimate uses. If a youug man desires to be a far mer,-a mechanic, a merchant or a professional man, the first step neces sary for him to take is to perfect him self as near as possible in the avoca tion he is determined to follow. He may learn much theoretically from books and teachers, but without practical knowledge theory will be worse than useless. Theory and practice are best acquired in actual business. Let a young man who Is determined to succeed go to work, without salary if necessary, in the line of business he intends to pursue, and opportunities will open to him as his skill aad knowledge and useful ness increase. Places are always open for those who are competent to fill them. No young man need be grouping about waiting for an opening in the busy scenes of life. If he has good character and industry, and is pos sessed of a determination to succeed, he can open out his own pathway, and though sometimes he may fail tern porarily, owing to misfortunes or bad counsels, his ultimate success is cer tain. “Yes, indeed, we have some queer incidents happen to us,” said the engineer. “I was running along one afternoon pretty lively when i ap proached a little Tillage where the track cuts through the streets. I slacked up a little, but was still mak ing good speed, when suddenly, about twenty rods ahe id of me, a little girl, not more than three years old, toddled on to the track. There was no way to save her. It was impossible to stop or even to slack much in that distance, as my train was heavy and the grade desceading. In ten seconds it would have been all over, and, after reversing and applying the brake, I shut my eyes. I didn’t want to sec any more. As we slowed down my fireman stuck his head out of the cab window to see what I’d stopped for, when he laughed and shouted to me, “Jim, look here!” I looked, and there was a great big black Newfoundland dog holding that little girl in his mouth, leisurely walking toward the house where she evidently belonged. She was kicking and crying so that I knew she wasn't hurt, and tlie dog had saved her. My fireman thought it funny and kept ®n laughing, but I cried. I just couldn’t help it. I have a little girl of my own at home.” A Great Discovery. Mr. Win. Thomas, of Newton, la., says: “My wife has been seriously affected with n cough for twenty live years, and this spring more severely than ever before. She had used many remedies without relief, and being urged to try Dr. King’s New Discov ery, did so, with most gratifying re sults. The first bottle relieved her very much, and the second bottle has absolutely cured her. She has not had so good health for thirty years.” Trial bottles free at Dr. J. T. Curtiss’ drug store.

An exchange truthfully remarks: “It may seem like a bold assertion, but it is nevertheless true, that a woman who is always neatly dressed is able to exercise a greater influence for good than one who is the reverse.” JOHN BLATS, Publisher. tribute to farmer?. Agriculture is the foundation of the business and prosperity of the whole country. When the toil of the farmer is utterly lost; when, after planting and tending and waiting, the harvest time brings no harvest to him, every industry and every interest instantly feels it. How completely a series of crop failures, or even short crops, paralyzes the business of the whole country. So as< ries of 'good crops stimulate every business and revive every drooping industry. The rail road lines lengthen, the rolling mills are busy, the iron miae, the saw mill, the lumber camp, are all scenes of activity and every instrument of commerce is in use. The hum of the machinery is the natural accompani ment to the songs of the harvest field. The daily published telegram from the money centre of the world is an unconscious daily tribute to agricul ture and the farmer as the prime fac tor in commerce. They note and chronicle every frost, every rain, every hostile insect, as carefully as the physician the symptoms of his pa tient. Stocks go up and down with the varying reports as to wheat and corn. The Wall street gambler who never heard the meadow lark in the field, reads the news from the grain fields as one fearing for a friend would. With the growth of the country, increased prosperity, and the multiplied and splendid educa tional facilities, our colleges, univer sities, academies and other institu tions of learning are filling up with ambitious farmer boys, vigorous in body and mind, bent upon acquiring knowledge. This is well. They make good students and scholars, but I feared that too many of them disdain fully turn from farm life to the pro fessions, as being a step higher. I would like to impress upon such 3'oung men that they are mistaken in "this. There is in a true sense no “step higher” from the calm, thought ful, independent life of the intelligent farmer.—Gov. Hush, of Wisconsin. NEED OF ECONOMY. . * * £# Oue of the hardest lessons iu life* for young people to learn is to prac tice economy. It is a harder duty for a young man to accumulate and save his first SI,OOO than his next SIO,OOO. A man can be economical without being mean, and it is one of his most solemn duties to lay up sufficient in his days of strength and prosperity to provide for himself and those who are or may be dependent upon him in days of sickness or misfortune. Ex travagance is one of the greatest evils of the present age. It is undermining and overturning the loftiest aud best principles that should be retained and held sacred in society. It is annually sending thousands of young men and young women to ruin and misfortune. ‘Cultivate, then, sober and indus trious habits; acquire the art of put ting a little aside every day and for your future necessary and foolish expenditures. Spend your time only' in such a manner as sh ill bring you profit and enjoyment, and your money for such things as you actually' need for your comfort and happiness and you w, 11 prosper in your lives, your business, and will win and retain the respect and honor of all worthy and substantial people. It takes two to make a slander— one to listen the other to report. If mankind would act as a Russian general once did, the race ot scandal mongers would die of enforced idle ness. A Russian once tried to tell *Skobe lefl’of certain scandalous reports about him. “One of your officers,” he began, “is spreading lies about you. May 1 give you his name?” “No, no, not a word,” answered the genera', sharply. “My officers fought like heroes. I love them. One word of mine was sufficient for their going willingly to death.” When the Russian, thus silenced, had left the room, Skobeleff called his servant, and asked: “Did you notice well that face?” “Yes, general.” “If so, then remember for that man lam never at home, never? Do not forget my order.” Senator Brown shows that in New England in eighteen years there have been 54,000 persons divorced, and of whom two-thirds were for other causes than infidelity. The divorces have run to 2,000 a year, an increase of 147 per cent, in twenty years. The rates of divorces to marriages now in New England is one to eight—that is one out of every eight marriages re mit in divorce. This is alarming.

I would like to speak to him on business.” “If you was a dyin’, and Jim war the only Doctor in Dakoty, you couldn’t sot au eye on him till he gives in an’ talks decent. At dinner, a while ago, he told me to pass ’im the apple soss, an’ I tol’ him it wasn’t soss, but sass, an’ he said he knowed better, it was soss, an’ I tol’ him that w’en lie tuk a notion that a little sass’d feel soothin’ to hi3 stomach to say so, an’ be said he’d have that soss or die. Then I tol’ him I'd ds £ fend that sass with life, an made a break for the shot gun, an 5 lie made a break up through the scuttle inter tiieleft. When his senses come to him* an’ ho gives in that sass is sass, he kin come down; butef he makes a break afore that, off goes the top of his head. Thar sets the sass, stran-. ger, an’ thar’s Jim up in the loft, an’ that’s the way matters stand jlst now, an’ I reckon you’d better mosey along an’ not get mixed inter the row.” As the gentleman moved away he heard her voice saying: “Jim, Wken you get tired o’ yer darn foolin’%ll’ wan’t this sass, jes’ squeal out!”-5 „ And a gruff* voice from the daftc some garret replied: '“Soss!’ | , A certain pretentious teasing the clerks of a dry goods store beyond ouslyorclered a spool-of, thread to be #at4o her house. *lt w r as agreed that she should be made an example of, and a warning to her kind. She was surprised, and her neighbors were in tensely interested, shortly after she had arrived at home. A common dray, drawn by four fine horses, pro ceeded slowly up to her door. On the dray, with bare arms, were a number of stalwart laborers. They were hold ing on very vigorously to some object which she could not see. It was a most puzzling affair. The neighbors stared. After a deal of whip-crack ing and other impressive ceremonies, the cart was backed against the curb. There, reposing calmly, end up, in the centre of the cart floor, was the iden tical spool of thread which she had ‘ordered.’ It seemed to be coming all right. With the aid of a plank, it was finally rolled, barrel fashion, safely to the sidewalk. a mor tal struggle it was ‘up ended’ on the purchaser’s doorstep. The fact that the fair purchaser catnc out a minute later and kicked her own property into the gutter detracted nothing from it. Young Wife: “My dear, you were the stroke oar at college, weren’t you?” Young Husband: “Yes, love.” “And a very prominent member of the gymnastic class?” “I was the leader.” “And quite a hand at all athletic contests?” “‘Quite a hand?’ My gracious!
