THE SOUTHRO V.
THE RED LIGHT AND CYCLONES.
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.

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.

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.”

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.

In response it. a knock
heard a shrill, sharp “(kmie^Mpff-*
on entering, found a sharp
gular woman sitting in the room
under an open scuttle hole leading
into the loft above, with a shot gun
on her knee.
“Is the gentleman of the house in?”
he asked.
“Yes, sir; he air.”
“Can I see him a moment?”
“No, sir; you can’t see a hide nor a
hair of ’im.”
“Why can’t I, madam? 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

some garret replied:

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

Young Husband: “Yes, love.”
“And a very prominent member of

“I was the leader.”
“And quite a hand at all athletic
contests?”
“‘Quite a hand?’ My gracious! I
was the champion walker, the best
runner, the head man at lifting, and
as for carrying! why, I could easily
shoulder a barrel of flour and—
“Weil, love, just please carry the
baby a couple of hours; I’m tired.”
First Pickpocket—“ There is a rich

“Yes, I know that, but I tried to
