' DEVOTED TO THE GENERAIPWELFAUE OF THE PEOPLE. GREENESBORO, GEORGIA, FRIIWY MORNING, MARCH 1(>, 1883, SELECTED POETRY. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. BY MBS. MARY E. BRYAN. Febkvary 11, 1812 March 4, 1883. Sweet is the scene when virtue dies! How sinks a righteous soul to rest, How mildly beams the closing eyes,' How gently heaves tli’ expiring breast! So fades a summer cloud away, So sinks tlie gale when storms are o’er. So gently shuts the eye of day, So dies a wave along the shore. Triumphant smiles the victor brow. Panned by some ange’ls purple wing Where is, 6 grave, thy victory now '/ And where, insidious death, thy sting? IN MEMORIAM. A DISCOURSE ON THE LIFE OF MR. STEPHENS, DELIVERED IN THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER, IN. GREENES BORO, C, V , ON THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT, 1883, BY THE REV. JOSHUA KNOWLES, RECTOR. TEXT, But go thou thy way till Ihe end he; for thou shall rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Dtiuie) 12,13 v. Whilst it is pre-eminently true, my _ hearers, that “goodliness is profitable nuto all things, having the promise of the life that now is and that which is to come,” it is equally true that it does not ex empt us from the frailties aud in firmities of life, much less from the common decree, “dust thou art and unto dust shall thou return.” We live and labor ; we suffer and enjoy ; we sorrow anil rejoice ; we weep aud mourn ; we lie down and die. This is the common lot of humanity, and will be till the heav ens are no more. The good and wise—the pure and lovely, as well as the base and sordid, have, in their appointed time, gone down to the house of silence. Daniel, who wrote the book from which our text is taken, was an eminent and highly honored servant of God. Like Timothy his youth and eld age were consecrated to His service. Under the most trying circum stances he maintained his integri ty, and amid the fascinations and allurements of a licentious court Ite preserved a spotless reputation. A prince himself, and blessed with au unusual share of worldly sub stance, he was nevertheless not ashamed, in the presence of idola trous kings and potentates, to con fess and worship the true God- But for special divine interposition, lie would have been a martyr for his loyalty to the king of heaven. As a prophet of the most High, lie was probably favored above all the seers of the old testament. In the last six chapters of the book which bears his name, wo have a series of prophecies, uttered at different periods, extending from the days of Daniel to the end of time. In these, the Assyrian, the Persian, the Greciau and Roman Empires, are all particularly described; the advent of Christ precisely fixed ; tho rise and fall of anti-Christ, and the duration of his power exactly determined—the future restoration of the Jews—the final victory of Christ over all his enemies, and tho universal prevalence of true relig ion, are distinctly foretold, as pref eeding that glorious consummation, when the heathen shall be given to Christ for his inheritance and the uttermost parts of the world for his possession, and the kingdoms of of this world be brought under the reign of Emanuel—God with us. Josephus commends him as the greatest of the prophets. The Jewish Targums and Talmuds, frequently cjte and appeal to his authority, Bt, Raul arid St. John have copied many of his prophecies, and our Savior himself cites, his words and styles him “Daniel the prophet.” The prophet Ezekiel, associates him with Noah and Job, as eminent for righteousness, and influence with God, Visions of the future, more clear and comprehen sive than were eyer vouchsafed to any other of the sacred writers, were presented to his view. He saw thrones aud empires rise, tri umph scourge the earth and sink into oblivion. He had witnessed the destruction of the temple of God and one captivity of his people. In awful vision he now beheld an other. He saw the temple re-built j and agaiu destroyed. His people , again gathered and again scatter ed—wanderiug over the earth, without priest or altar or sacrifice for many generations. With a sad and perplexed heart, he contempla ted tbe scenes of darkness, tumult and violence which even in this our day and generation, shake and scourge the earth. With burdened heart, in the language of the con text, he exelaims, O My Lord! “What shall be the pud of these things ?” But way beyond and | above this dismSfperspective, rose ito his enrapttfcd and prophetic \ vision, the Sui*jpf righteousness, with healing in ■Bowings, and the kingdom of Chrslii bearing univer sal sway. And MR he caught an encouraging glmPsc of a brighter and better day, m the dim future, and with his stricken people* doubt less desired to labor for and enjoy it, the angel of the covenant- con cludes his messajijgovith the sotemu language of the hit—“Go thou thy way till the end l|L for thou slpUt rest, anil stand in thy lot, at the end of th v days.” * Thus was this illustrious servtjAA-'f Old, dismiss ed from the toiisfiu * V re * Georgia, to : oaj* tny hearers, is 'elad iu the vestmeuts of sorrow’. [She mourns the daath of a gifted and honored son. Her harps are attuned to requiems of grief and sadness, and we feel that it is right and proper that we should pay our humble tribute to the memory of one we knew so well and loved so much. In recalling the names of the il lustrious worthies who in ages past, iby their piety, patriotism and pa tient endurance of suffering, won the favor of heaveu and the ap plause of the good and great, the name and fame of “ Daniel the Pro phet" was presented to our mind, las well suited to illustrate the life and death of him whom the nation now mourns, id many respects their biographies bear a striking analogy. Both of them in yxnuth. entered into covenant relations with the God of heaven. Both from early life to ripe old age were loyal to God and country, and acted well, their part in the eventful ages in which they lived. Both of them were Christian patriots and wise statesmen and labored most assid uously to promote the prosperity andhappiness of the people. Having successfully performed their great and special mission, at the bidding of the angel of the everlasting cov enant, both now quietly rest in their heaven-appointed lot, “ and their works do follow them." On this occasion and in this pre sence, I presume >*£diout impro priety or offence, 'j \ sny, k that during the whole period of his pub lie life, which covered nearly half a century, no man labored more ear nestly or faithfully to conserve the true interests of the American peo j pie than ALEXANDER HAMILTON STEPHENS. Li the stormy days of the Re public, what voice more potent than liis in calming the turbulence of sectional passion and strife ? There was a magic and majesty in Jiis quiet look and Voice, that quickly subdued the rising tempest of hea ! ted debate, Though by no means | despairing of tlie Republic, his last days were burdened with anxiety in regard to the safety and perpe tuity of our free institutions. It was this which caused him, at the urgent solicitation of friends to fore go his determination to retire from public life. Heeding the voice of duty, at the call of tlie people, he still continued a faithful npd dili gent laborer in their service. But in the midst of his arduous toil comes to him the message to “ depart and be with Christ.” The weary wheels of life noise lessly cease to move, and the great Georgian is with his illustrious pro totype “Daniel the Prophet,” stnn jding in his lot aucl resting from his labors. Mr. Stephens whole life was one ;of toil and suffering. To this doubt less is lamely attributable the per fection of his character. It is said that Christ was made perfect thro’ suffering. But I reckon that the pcgjtfW not toße'couipareifwitn tiit'giOries and rewards that are now revealed to our sainted friend and brother in his heavenly “ mansion.” The Savior says, he that giveth a cup of cold water to a disciple ip the name of a disciple, shall in no wise lose his reward. Think of the magnitude of the labors and be stowments of this good man all through hjs useful life, and then of the magnitude and grandeur of his hevenly patrimony, Think of the little army of young men (122) that his hard earned savings enabled him to educate and send forth, to bless and improve society—make earth more sunny and heaven more dazzling and vocal. Think of these young men transmitting from gen eration to generation, to the end of time, the benefits of this princely munificence. Then calculate if you can the joyous dividends that are punctually and steadily forthcom? ing from those desposits which nei ther moth nor rust doth corrupt, and thieves do not break through and steal. This is certainly better for Stephens than the proud boast and ephemeral delight o' the sor did and hoardipg millionair. And now in conclusion, my hear ers, we enquire, what gave to Mr. Stephens such remarkable success in life and such wonderful peace in death. It was prayer. Christ bad said, “ If ye shall ask anything in my name I will do it." This and other diviue promises Mr. Stephens believed. Like Dauiel, he was “ strong in the Lord and the power of bis might,” because he was a man of prayer. Prayer shielded Daniel from .the devices of a licen tious court and the mouths of its lions. Mr. Stephens, thus armour ed, and fortified, doubtless escaped the greater dangers that are am bushed impolitieal and metropoli tan life at the preseut day, by seek ing light and guidance from above. T -t Vras this divine light from above f.t enabled him like Dauief, of ten, with prophetic visioa, to fore cast the future, and signal the peo ple of coming clangers. In this re spect Governor Stephens surpass ed all his contemporaries. And now, in closing this brief tribute to the memory of one whom i we have personally known for neai - - j ly half a century, we would say-to the young men of the country, iini- ! tate the example the great and good man whose death the nation now mourns. Whether in public or pri vate life, be menof prayer. Then shall your pathway, like his, “shine j brighter and brighter to the per fect day.” ADJACENT COUNTIES. WHAT IS TRANSPIRING IN THEM.

HOW HE FELT WHILE IN THAT DE LIGHTFUL STATE. “Are yon a Christian ? asked the bail boy of a grocery man, as that gcntlemtm was placing vegetables out iu front of the grocery one morning. “Well, I hope so,” answered (he grocery man. “I try to do what is right, aud I hope to wear the gol den crown when the time comes to close my books.” ‘Then how is it that you put a box of great big sweet potatoes, and when we order some and they come to the table they are little bit of things, not bigger than a radish ? Do you expect to got to heaven on such small potatoes when 3 - ou use big ones for a sign ?” asked the boy, as he took out a silk handker chief and brushed a speck of dust off his nicely blacked shoes. The grocery man blushed and j said he did not mean to take such advantage of his customers. He said it must have been a mistake of j the hoy that delivers groceries. “Then you must hire the boy to make mistakes, for it has been so every time we have had sweet po- / tatoeg for five years,” said the boy. “And about greeu corn. Yon; have a few ears stripped down to 1 show how nice and plump it is, and if we order a dozen ears there are I only two that have got any corn on I at all, and pa and in a gets them, and the rest of us lniye to chew cobs. Do you hope to wear a crown of glory oil that kind of corn ? ’ j “Oil, such things will happen,” | said the grocery man with a laugh, j “But don’t let’s talk about heaven. Let's talk about the other place, i How’s things over to your house? ! And say, what is the matter with you? You are all dressed up aud have got a clean shirt on and your jshoes blacked and 1 notice your I pants are not raveled out so at the j bottoms -of the legs behind. You j are not iu love are you ?” “Well, I should smile,” said the i boy; as he looked in a small mir i ror on the counter covered with flv specks. “A girl got mashed on me find ma says it’s good for a boy /Who hasn’t got no sister to be iu Gove with a girl, and so I kind of Tumbled to myself, and she don’t go no where without I go with her. ! I take her to dnnoing school, and everywhere and she loves me like ' a house afire. Say, was you ever jin love ? Makes a fellow feel queer, I don’t it? Well sir, the first time I | Went with herl put my arm around her, and honest it spared me. It j was just like when you take hold of the handles of a Jectric battery, and you can’t let go till the man turns the knob. Honest, I was just as weak as a cat, I thought she had needles in her belt, aud was going to take my arm away but it was just like it was glued ou. I asked her if she felt that way too, and she said she used to, but it was nothing when you got used to jit. That made me mad. But she |is older than life, and knows more j about it. When I was going to leave her at the gate she kissed itne, and that was worse than put | ting ray arm around her. By gosh, j I trembled all over just like I bad | chills, but I was as warm as toast. She wouldn’t let me go for as much as a minute, and I was tired us though I had been carrying coal up stairs. I didn’t want to go home at all but she said it would! be the best way for me to go home,; and come agaiu the next day, and the next morning I went to her houso before any of them were up, and her pa came out to let the cat in, and I asked him what time his girl got up. and he luffed and said I had got it bad, and that J better go home and not be picked till I got ripe. Say, how much does it cost to get married ?" “Well I should say yon had got it bad,” said the grocery man, as he sat out a basket of beets, “your getting in love will be a great thing for your pa. You won’t have any time to play any more jokes on him. “0 I guess we can find time to keep ‘pa from being lonesome. I Have you seen him this morning ? I You ought to have seen him last night. You see my chum’s pa has !got a setter dog stuffed,’it is one ; that died two years ago, and he ! thought a great deal of it, and he had it stuffed for ornament. Well my chum and iiie took the dog and put it on our front steps, and took some cotton and fastened it to the dogs mouth so it looked just like froth, and we got hebiud the door and waited for pa to pome home from the theatre. Wimp pa started to come up the stops, I growled, and pa looked at the dog npd said, f Mad dog, by primus’ and he started down the sidewalk, and my chum barked just like a dog, and I ’ki-ki’d’ and growled like a dog that get’s licked, and you ought to seen pa run. He went around in the alley' and was going to get TKIiMS GO >er Annum, in Advance. ‘ WHOLE NUMBER 511. in a basement window, and mv chum had a revolver with some I blank cartridges and we went down -iu the basement, and when pa was try ing to open the window my chnra began io tire towards pa. Pa hol lered that it was only him and not a burglar, bat after my chum fired four shots pa run and climbed over tlie fence, and then we took the dog home and I stayed \jith my chum nil night, and in the morning ma said pa didn’t get home till four o’clock and then a policeman came with him, and pa talked about mad degs, and being taken for a bur glar aud neatlv killed, and she was afraid pa had took to drinking again, and she asked me if I heard any firing of guns, and I said no, and then she put a wet towel op pa’s head.’ “You ought to be ashamed,’ said the grocery man. ’‘How does youp pa like your being in love with the girl. Does he seem to encourage you iu it?” “Oh, yes. She was up to our house to borrow some tea, and pa patted her on the cheek aud hug-, ged her, and said she was a dear little daisy, and wanted her to sit iu his lap, hut when I wanted him to let me have fifty cents to buy her some ice cream lie said that was all nonsense. He said, ‘Look at yonr mil. Eating ice cream when she was a girl was wliat injured her health for life’ I asked ma about it and said pa never laid out tea cents for ice cream or any other luxury jn all the five years"he was sparkipg her. She says he took her to a circus once, but he got free tickets for carrying water for the elephant. She says pa was tighter than thejiarkon a tree. I tell you it’s going to be different with ine. If there is any thing the girl wants she is going to have it if I have to sell ma’s copper boiler to get the money. What is the use of having money, if yon hoard it up and don’t enjoy it? This family will be run on different pimciples after this you bet. Say, how much are those yellow wooden pocket combs in the s(ioe case? I’ve got a notion to buy them for her. How would one of them round mirrors with a zinc cover do for a present for a girl. There’s uothing too‘good for her.'—Peeks Urnr.

Often do I sigh, iu my struggle with the hard, uncaring world, for the sweet, deep security I felt wltcD, of au evening nestling in her bosom, I listened to some quiet tale suitable to my age, read in her tender and untiring voice. Never can I forget her sweet glan ces cast upon me when I appeared asleep; never her kiss of peace at night.

If girls would only try to be helpful in (he house eluting their school years, and learn all theii? mothers can teach them abcpit housework before they think of marrying, we should bayg more happy homes and fewer divorce ca ses.
