SELECTED POETRY.
THE HOURS.
Amid the blue and starry sky,
A group of Hours, one even.
Met as they took their upward flight
Into the highest heaven.
And they were going up to Heaven,
With all that iiad been done
By little children,, good or bad,
Since the last rising sun.
And some had gold and purple wings,
Some drooped like faded flowers,
-And sadly soared to tell the tale,
That they were misspent hours.
Some glowed with rosy hopes and smilee
And some bad many a tear;
Others had some kind words and acts sV
To carry upward there.
And thus they glided on and gave
Their records, dark and bright,
To Him who marks each passing hour
Of childhood's daV and night.
Remember, children of tho earth,
Eacli hour is on its way,
Bearing its own report to Heaven,
Of all you do and say.
PHILOSOPHER ARP
HE FEELS GOOD AND BAD
BY TURNS.
Wanted to Hear the Election News
But Was Aft-aid It Would Be
Bad, and He Waited for
the Last Returns.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
It is curious how a man can fool
himself. Two or three days before
the* election I had made up my
mind and become reconciled to de
feat, for I had been reading both
sides pretty close and had given it
up. So I mustered up all my phi
losophy and imagined I was pre
pared for anything. But I wasent,
I was fooling myself, I wouldent go
to Atlanta Tuesday to see The Con
stitution’s jack-o-my-lanters, I went
to town and voted and came back
hottie' early for I dident
stay and hear bad news. Next"
morning I went out on the big roan
to fix n broken gate and I thought
maybe somebody would come along
and tell me the news without my
asking, but nobody came* but a
darkey and he dident know any
thing. I went to the house and
ruminated and tried to be calm and
serene but I couldent and kept
looking down the big road for some
body to come and break the news
and I was afraid somebody would
come, and the news would be bad.
I’ve been to the dentists afore now
to have an aching tooth pulled and
was glad to find the door locked
and the dentists gone. So I waited
another hour for somebody to come
from town and then went off to the
field to work. About noon a man
came along in a buggy and hailed
me with a hurrah for Cleveland
and he hurried on before I could
ask him the news. But it sounded
favorable and hoped me up some.
At two o’clock another man came
by aud said Cleveland was elected,
but I wasent satisfied and so I
dident cut up nor evolute, but by
and by when I got my mail and
read “Victory” in great big letters
at the head of the column I was
overwhelmed with a thankful and
a joyful surprise. There was not
a soul at home but me and the
dog and the cat and in as much as
they couldent understand any gym
nastics I just kept my seat placidly
by the fire and felt good all over
all by myself as I read the crowing
and the chuckling and the rejoicing
that filled the columns of The Con
stitution. I was just thinking about
going over to tell the news to nabor
Munford for he said that if Cleve
land was elected he knowed he
would have a fit and I wanted to
see what kind of a fit it would be.
General Young told me that the
first thing be would do would be
to indulge for a day or two in some
artificial elation and then subside
and reform and then join the
church, for reform was the watch
word of the party and we all ought
to reform out of gratitude.
But it does look like the good
things of this life dont last long.—
I hadent rejoiced very long before
I got to feeling sorry for the other
side. Sorry for some clever men
who were in office and would have
to step down and out. I was even
sorry for Mr. Blaine. The .good
book says we mast rejoice with
those that rejoice and weep with
those that weep and I was trying
my best to do both. I dont c&re so
much about the men but it hurts
me to see their wives and their
children disappointed and distress
ed. When a good man is in office
and needs it for the support of his
family I dont think I could turn him
out, I dont think I could and that
is one thing that made me like
Grover Cleveland, for they say that
( when he was first elected governor
of New York he never turned out
TERMSS2.OO per Annum, in Advance.
but one man. Well, that may do
in New York but it won’t do at
Washington. The rascals must all
go and there are lots of them. Mr.
Cleveland will be doing enough for
them to pardon them out of the
penitentiary when they get there.
Reform is what the nation wants.
The tariff is a little thing compared
with it.
But while I ruminated on these
things and was feeling comfortable
and complacent over my own gen
esis feelings towards a fallen foe,
come along with the news
I York had gone for Blaine
I I just collapsed and wilted
and felt as humble and helpless as
as a dead nigger. I lost all my
philosophy in half a minute and
felt like I dident have a friend in
the world. Mrs. Arp was away off
in Rome and the girls were in town
and the children were at school.
The dog come creeping in to the
fire and I kicked him out and then
I got sorry for him and called him
back again. When the children
came home I dident indulge in my
usual loving greetings nor ask who
was head and how they got along,
but I moped around and looked
solemn until Jessie said “Papa, you
are sick, aint you?”
By and by nabor Freeman drop
ped in. I knew he would come if
Blaine was elected for he is sorter
on that side ot the fence and I nev
er join issue with him in an un
pleasant way about it, for he is a
good nabor and that beats politics
and he has just as much right to
his opinion as I have to mine. But
I knew if he found out Blaine was
elected he would come down to jub
ilate a little and see what I bad to
say about it. So I never let on but
brightened up and made out like it
was just what I expected and it did
not make any difference either to
him or to me. I never gave him
any chance to crow over me, but 1
was home-sick all the same. I can’t
bear to be lifted way up yonder,
and theu have all the props knock
ed from under me. I don’t <mintf !
coining down on a sliding scale bu|
it hurts me tp fall so far apd so
ueivy **
Now here it is again, another
paper and Ihfe-same old “Viet&ry”
at the ivhead and both sides
claiming*. 1 . Btrf-my— faith is now
shaken and I’m going to stay down
on the ground until I know more
than Ido now. I’m sorry for nabor
Munford for they say he has a fit
every morning because Cleveland
is elected and another in the even
ing because he aint, and General
Young is in a bad fix, too, and
nobody knows when he will be
ready to join the church.
But there is no sense in mourn
ing and cavorting over politics. If
Blaine is elected I’m going to make
the best of it and be like the feller
who swam around old Noah’s ark
and asked to be let in and when
old Noah shook his head he swam
off to a floating log and straddled
it and said he dident believe there
was going to be much of a shower
no how. Roland told me to-day
that politics dident bother him
much in time of peace, but he heard
that Bob Toombs said there would
be another revolution before long
and he reckoned they would let a
poor man fight a little when it did
come. That’s so. They will let a
poor man fight. Bill Aep.
CLEVELAND’S PROCLAMA
TION.
The people of the state of New
York should permit neither their
ordinary occupations and cares nor
any unusual increase of excitement
to divert their minds from a sober
acknowledgment of their depen
dence upon the Almighty God for
all that contributes to their happi
ness and contentment, and for all
that secures greatness and pros
perity to our proud commonwealth.
In accordance with a loDg contin
ued custom. I hereby appoint and
designate Thursday, the 27th of
November, 1884, to be specially ob
served as a day of thanksgiving
and praise. Let all the people of
the state at that time forego their
usual employment in their several
places and workshops and thank
God for all that he has done for
them. Let the cheer of the family
rug be hallowed by a remembrance
of the love and watchful care of our
Heavenly Father, and social gath
erings of friends and neighbors.—
Let the people show a hearty good
will and good fellowship by acts of
kindness.
Done at the capital in the city of
Albany, this Bth day of November,
in the year of our Lord, One Thou

WHOLE NUMBER 596.
CHEAP PLEASURE.
“Did you ever study the cheap
ness of some pleasure”? asks some
writer. Do you know how little it
takes to make a multitude happy?
Such trifles as a penny, a word, or
a smile do the work. There are
two or three boys passing along—
give them each a chestnut, and
how smiling they look ! They will
not be cross for some time. A
poor widow lives in the neighbor
hood, who is the mother of half a
dozen- children. Send them half a
peck of sweet apples, and they ipill
be happy. ' 7 ~
“A child has lost his arrow—the
world to him—and he mourns sad
ly ; help him find it, or make him
another, and how quickly will the
sunshine play over his sober face!
A boy has as much as he can do
to pile up a* load of wood; assist
him a few moments, or speak a
pleasant word to him, and he for
gets his toil, and works away with
out minding it. Your apprentice
has brokeu a mug, or cut the vest
too large, or slightly injured a
piece of work. Say ‘You scoun
drel,’ and he feels miserable; bat
remark, ‘I am sorry,’ and he will
try to do better.
“You employ a man ; pay him
cheerfully, and speak a pleasant
word to him, and he leaves your
house with a contented heart, to
light up his own heart with smiles
and gladness.
“A.s you pass along the street
you meet a familiar face; say
‘Good morning,’ as though you felt
happy, and it will work admirably
in the heart of your noighbor,—-
Pleasure is cheap. 'Who will not
bestow it liberally? If there ate
smiles, sunshine, and flowers all
about ns, let us not grasp them
with a miser’s fist and lock them
up in our hearts. No, rather let
us take them and scatter them
about in the cot of the widow,
amofrg the groups of children in the
crowded mart, where men of busi
ness congregate, in our families,
"and everywhere. We can make the
wretched" happy, the discontented
cheerful, and the afflicted resigned,
at an exceeding cheap rate. Who
wilfrefuse to do it?" ' ’ ,
•‘Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the bill of life;
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, braver for the stnfe.
Do you count them only trifles ?
What to earth are sun and rain ?
Never was a kind word wasted,
Never one was said in vain.
“So, as up life’s hill we journey,
Let us scatter, all the way,
Kindly words, to be as sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudire no loving word, my brother,
As along through life you go;
To the ones who journey with you,
If you love them, tell them so.”,
Mother’s Turn.— “lt is mother’s
turn to be taken care of now,"
The speaker was a winsome
young girl, whose bright eyes, fresh
color, and eager looks told of light
hearted happiness. Just out of
school, she had the air of collars
which is an added attraction to a
blithe young face. It was mother’s
turn now. Did she know how my
heart went out to her for her unsel
fish words?
Dear girls, take good care of

At a meeting of the Mississippi
synod at Crystal Springs, Dr. Pal
mer’s paper condemning Dr. Wood

synod by a vote of forty two to
eight. The minority presented the
following as their reasons for ta
king sides with Dr. Woodrow :
1. The synod in passing judg

purely scientific hypothesis has
assumed the right to decide upon
the merits of a question beyond
her province as an ecclesiastical

2. The synod states that this
hypothesis, as unverified and un
worthy to be dignified as a science,
assumes to control the interpreta
tion of the inspired word, whereas,
on the contrary, in otir judgment
no such claim is made for it, nor
from the very nature of the case
could such a claim be made for any
purel scientific theory.
