THAT ARE LEFT AND THINKS A HIS
TORY SHOULD BE V.! ’ TTEN.
From the Atlanta Conti, '-'fion.
Most everybody dead. That is
all the old folks. are migh
ty few left of the oil stock that til
ed to move around so lively and
take the lead in business and pub
lic affairs. Some of ns are getting
lonesome now. The ranks keep
filling up, hut we don’t know the
new recruits. Old father Tine is
a conscript officer and he won’t
take any substitutes nor give any
j body a bombproof place. There
is no quartermasters uor commis
saries nor potash- getters in this
war, but it is tight, tight, tight, all
the time. Fight like they did at
Thermopolse where there were only
300 against a million, and there was
no possible escape. Sooner or later
all of us have got to go. We can’t
desert nor dodge p r play sick nor
shoot a fingetr there are no
furloughs and bofpeasioffia and no
discharge. There is
promotion far goagdj '
..it
to do and die. Welt; it’s all right,
I Icdow, or it wouldn’t liave been
so ; but it grieves me to hear the
bell tolling all about, and the old
stock passing away. Thirty-two
years ago I moved to Rome and it
was a right smart town of 3000
people. They are not there now.
What are left I can count on my
fingers, hardly a dozen of the old
settlers and they move about verv
slow. Old mother White died the
other day—the oldest of them all.
She was alwaj’s going about doing
good or tryiug to. She outlived
her old “Mauu” the Scotchman and
she outlived her children, hut she
never surrendered to grief or trou
ble. These old Scotch people have
habits and principles like cast iron.
They never change. The old
‘maun’ as we called him was al
ways merry and always at work
making harness, and he died in har
ness. He had his time to eat and
to sleep and to pray and to sing
and to read the Bible, and his time
to work, and he.never neglected the
regular programme. Old Maun
White couldn’t sing, but he thought
he could, and he considered it as
much a duty as to pray. He was
always in his seat at the church.
He was a heavy man, but he wad
dled up to the meeting house with
alacrity and took his seat like be
meant business, and he did mean
business. He said amen and amen
all through the prencber’s prayer,
and then he opened his hymu book
and stood up right in front of the
choir and sang from away down.
He tried to follow, but was sure to
get a little ahead, for he enjoyed it,
and wanted to do more than his
share. The choir done their best
to smother him, hut they couldn’t.
His bellows was strong and blew
loud. His kind of singing would
n’t have been tolerated from any
other man for he was always a lit
tle up or a little down anti he ta
pered off. His voice was a good
deal below bass tmd came out like
there Was a-cogwheel iD his throat.
But everybody that knew the old
man enjoyed his singing for it
seemed to do him so much good, j
and at times when the words were
very tender the old man would say
“amen” at the end of the stanza.
I remember that one time when
Henry Gartrell and George Sto
vall were leading music the old
man turned two leaves in his hymn
book and got from long to short
meter and the words didn’t fit the
music. There wasn’t enough of
’em and the §ld Mauu shook his
head and gave a grant and fill
ed out with a couple of .aniens. He
heard a titter behind him, and
looking round, muttered “Thar’s
sumthin’ wrong about here.” We
joked him about it nfext day, and
he laughed and as he said : ‘ Ah,
weH, you know that David said
| sing unto the Lord anew song, ancj
I deed It. Yes, I deed it.” I von
; der how many children old mother
White has taught at Sunday school.
She has had a class of little ones
ever since I knew her, and she
| taught them all the same ihipg,—
jto love God and tell tfijSKruth
and do right. I don’t thirile she
ever improved on that; she
know anything about the science
of religion or the evidences of
Christianity, and she didn’t want
! to. It was enough for her that she
| loved her Maker and loved ewfry
! body and her Maker loved btff .
[ Her faith was iron-clad—she Jived
and died in it. If I couLi Uale
ttftmncosTa henveft"Y would be \vil
i hng to trade lor hers. Slip is
| there, I reckon, and some of the
children she taught are there too,
and they gave the old lady a wel
come that was heaven enough for
her. *
But the old men of the State are
dying too. The n u who have,
memories and know 11 about his
tory—the history o* “Georgia. All
about Troup and Gl&.k and John
Forsyth and the Crawfords and
Lamars and Lumpkins and Berrien
and Cobb and Dougherty and a
host of statesmen and preachers
and teachers who made the State
illustrious and moulded the man
ners and patriotism and chivalry
of our people. There is a world of
history about the olden time and
it is about to be lost. It is almost
lost now. Is there nothing worth
preserving about it? Is it enough
for ns aud our ehiildten to be sat
isfied with things as we have found
them ? I don’t know how it is with
others, but the biography of noble
men is the best of all reading to
me. I love to read about their
great deeds aod their struggles ard
troubles ; their home fife and their
likes and dislikes; their joys aud
fun and their wise and witty say
ings. I loved to hear old Major
Cooper tell about the grand men
be knew and mingled with fifty
and sixty years ago, and how they
contended with one another in hon
orable strife for leadership, and
how they thrilled the people on
great occasions with surpassing el
oquence—such eloquence as is not
hea,d vW not be seen ag
ain. There is not a comity in the'
State but has one or mofc aged
men who can tell and who _X to
tell of the olden time ancr has
ti ensured rich memory of the men
aud things aud eveuts. Why, it is
only fifty years since the Indians
left here, and hardly anybody
knows anything about Indiu ms bow.
It sounds like a romance to hear
the old settlers tell about ’em.
Somebody ought to write a book—
a book that would be read’ No
body reads that one made by Rev.
William Bacon Stevens. It is too
grand, too stately, too rhetorical.
There is not an anecdote in it. It is
like reading epitaphs on tomb
stones. Macauley made the history
of England lively and romautic, atid
why can’t we get somebody to write
ours the same way. The life and
times of George M. Troup w’ould
be splendid—the man who made
the whole United States back down,
and who whipped William Wirt
and the Indians. There are but
few persons living who know' how
we got their lands from the Indians,
or what we paid for them. Every
body ought to kDow. The school
boys ought to know’. It ought to
be somewhere iD history. In ten
years from to-day this history can’t
be written. The old men who know
it will all be dead, I've been think
ing about this a good deal, and it
seems to me somebody ought to be
put to work. Somebody who would
love to do it and is content to do
it. Somebody like that noble mau,
C. C. Jones, of Augusta, or that
man of wonderful memories, Judge
Clark, of Atlanta, or both of them
together. What a history they ■
could make. Dr. Eelton aud I
were talking over this thing the
other night, and I was proud to
listen to his enthusiasm about the
unwritten history of our State and
her grand old patriarchs who have
gone to their rest. I never knew
the doctor much until of late, and
I’m sorry I didn’t. He is a man of
thought and a man of feeling. My
politics dident agree with his, but
he is a great mau nevertheless, and
a good friend and a kind nabor.
Politics is a bad thing to tear up
friendships, but I reckon its right
and necessary for one party to be
watching the other. It puts them
both in the cautious state, fcr they
know the people are watching ’em
and they are afraid of the people
and bye and bye things settle down
i about right.
Now will not this Legislature do
something about this history?
They give money for portraits which
is all right, but portraits can’t be
seen by many, and they do not
teach us much history. All my
children know is what I tell ’em,
and all I know is what my father
told me. Bill Arp.

i
WHY PARENTS iSHOULD FURNISH READ
ING FOll THEIR CHILDREN.
From the Harritonburg Old Commomrealth.
There is omAtkawback with Vir
ginia and the Southerii’people that,
to secure a livelier progress, must
be corrected. The people gener
ally do not read enough. We do
not refer to those wh.o reside in the
cifies, towns and villages, but the
people who five upon the farm,
work in the shops, and follow call
ings of various kinds out in the
country. Generally the bead of the
family livng in the country who
I lots uo time to read move lhau this.
1 What a mistake ! Besides, if he
'gets a county newspaper, he selects
the one of his own partisan bias.
He never sees both sides, even in
politics. But no one county news
paper ever did or ever will print
all the county news. It would have
to be as large a's a barn door to do
it. Hence, for the county news
alpne, more than one paper is nec-
essary.
Then there is the agricultural
paper or magazine, the mechanical
periodical, and the religious paper.
At least two of these should he
found in every intelligent house
hold, and must be to make the
household iutelligent.
This subject has been brought
to our mind by reference to some
statistics in regaVd to comparative
newspaper circulation North and
South. It is a shameful fact that
the average circulation in the North
is four to five times greater than in
the South. When we consider the
immense number of papers and
magazines published in tue North,
aud compare them with the num
ber published in the South, the
disproportion of average circula
tion of Southern papers is increas
ed.
To say that the average of circu
lation there is from 2,000 to 2,500,
and here from 300 to 500, is a hu
miliating confession. To call it
shameful is putting it mildly. But
is a fact, and is a matter to deplor-
ed by
usual excuse here is : “Ob, I!
hFn’t tip:*’ to n}ad!” H-|w about
your wide-awake, progressive, thrif
ty Yankee ueigbbor ? Does lie lose
time or money by his reading? Go
to a Northern homestead, anil there
you will find the farmer’s family, or
the mechanic’s family, githeieil ar
ound the table and lamp, someone
of the group read aloud from the
newspaper or periodical such items
of information as are valuable or
instructive. Or you will see the
| whole gtoup, each with a different
| publication possibly, all interested j
in some article or upon some sub-
ject which interests the particular
oue most. Then the subjects are
discussed by members of the house
hold at odd times; and the world’s
stock of general information enlar
ged and improved. Hence there
is a wide-spread intelligence among
the people North.
Among our population it is dif
ferent. Three-fourths of the peo
ple think they must be drudges
from daylight until dark to subsist..
It is not hard, slavish work that
makes more money or better living
jfor themselves and families—it is
intelligent work. The cute Yankee
brother found that out loDgago,
and has prospered wonderfully by
reason of the discovery; and we
lay it down right here as a truth,
that we must do likewise or be mud
sills all our life long.
No man can work or plan suc
cessfully w’ho does not know what
is going on, and every newpaper
that he takes into his household is
a help. There is nothing else in
this world ascheap as newspapers,
except air, waterand Divine Grace;
and \Vhen our people awake to a
just appreciation of their duty to
the newspaper press of the South
there will be a progress in our sec
tion to which we have hitherto
been strangers.
Ponder the subject.
—Do not attempt to cover your
faults, hut try and get rid of them.
Every person does wrong at times,
and confession is no new thing in
the world. Oue must own that all
is Dot right, or become ridiculous
as well as hypocritical. Other peo
ple will see, whether we try to
blind them or not; and just for
what we are worth will they value
us. Let us all be honest, uo mat
ter what else we may be, and not
pretend to be better than we are.

There is undoubtedly much suf

classes, the world over. This is
especially true of those iy the lar
ger cities. The amount of cheap
and unfilled soil in this country,
has thus far relieved it in a great
measure from a large pauper pop
ulation. Asa general thing, want
is usually the result of improvi
dence or indolence, especially at
the South. Such articles as the

society had at last achived. He
said it was mournful to think that
in the ministrations of the ninety
eighth Bishop of Rochester the
Bishop should have to confess that
it was necessary to “civilize the
temporally degraded and to evan
gelize the spiritually destitute,” af
ter all the long labors of the church.
His grace said that he had been
himself round the bouses of the
poor, and he could not but confess
that the difficulty was increased by
the social condition of the people.
He had found whole families at
work in making match boxes, work
ing assiduously in wretched homes,
payment being at the rate of 2}d.
tor a gross of boxes, and the work
ers had to supply their own paster
iu the making of these one hundred
and forty-four boxes for2|d. There
was not much civilization ia work
like that, nor in the making of an
ulster for 4d., or the making of a
suit of boys’ clothes for 3d. He
hoped earnestly for some ameliora-
tion of those social difficulties.
These people were not to be regar
ded so much as lost sheep as shecp (
who were pushed from the door,’*
and the work of evangelizing them
was a duty which could not be
overlooked. He heartily commen
ded the society to tbb sympathy
and help of churchmen.
DO IT WELL, v
1
It is not, after all, so much what
a man does, as how he does it.—
He may be a good mechanic at
sawing wood, and as such deserve
credit. There is a scientific way
to shovel gravel that brings about
; the best results with the least ex
| pemliture of energ}’. Whatever
I honest occupation a man may from
choice or necessity engage in, her
deserves credit in proportion as he
does his work well. It doubtless
calls for different talent to do some
things than it does to do others;
but aDy man who succeds in get
ting to the head in one vocation,
has demonstrated a probability
that he may succeed in another.
He has at least earned the right to
try. He has shown that he has
one of the qualities necessary to
success in any direction, viz., the
quality of doing well what he is
able to do.
One of the gravest and common
est mistakes of the young man is
[ the idea that what he is engaged
.inis not worth doing well. That
| idea will beat any man, young or
i old. No one gains a right for high
j er work except by the way of pres
jent duty well done. We have
know boys every way qualified to
become good mechanics, go
through an apprenticeship and
scarcely know’ more at the end
than at the beginning, simply be
cause they were going to do some
; other job well. Th 6 present is
the one e.ery time. Demonstrate
your ability to do something
well, and the opportunity to ad
vance will not be wanting. No
man ever rose to respectable dis
tinction in any other way.— Amer- ,
\ican Machinist.
\ —The ltcv. B. M. Smith, iD a
sermoD, made the statement, that,
in the course of the thirty years
wh ..,u he had passed as a professor
at Union Theological Seminary, he
had observed it to be a fact that
nearly all the young men who came
to the Seminary came from fami
lies where as children they had
been subjected to a careful relig
ious training. Very few came for
ward, be said, to preach the gospel
from families in which family relig
ion was neglected.
—The believer is not merely
“forgiven all trespasses,” but act
ually associated with a risen Christ
in heaven. He is not merely saved
by Christ, but is linked with Him
; forever.—Selected.
Dr. R. S. Storrs remarks : “To
: state the gospel in novel and doubt
! fnl forms in order to conciliate un
belief, is very much like the wom
an’s wisdom who kept the burglars
out of the house by leaving all the
valuables on the door step.”
