THE SOUL OF SONG.
POEMS IT MIGHT REPAT YOU TO READ,
TO CUP AND TO PRESERVE.
“FACE TO FACE.”
The following beautiful poem by Paul
namilton Hayne, published in the May
Harper’s, and soon after republished in
the Telegraph, will be read with renewed
and mournful interest today.—Macon
Telegraph.
Sad mortal! couldst thou but know.
What truly it means to die.
The wings of thy soul would glow,
And the hopes of thy heart beat high;
Thou would’st turn from the I’yrrhonist
schools,
And laugh their jargon to scorn,
As the babble of midnight fools
Ere the morning of truth be born;
But I, earth’s madness above,
In a kingdom of stormless breath—
I gaze on the glory of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
I tell thee his face is fair
As the moon bow’s amber rings,
And the gleam in his unbound hair
Like the flush of a thousand springs;
His smile is the fathomless beam
Of the star-shine's sacred light,
When the summers of Southland dream
In the lap of the holy Night;
For I, earth’s blindness above,
In a kingdom of halcyon breath—
I gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
In his eyes a heaven there dwells—
But they hold few mysteries now—
And his pity for earth’s farewells
Half furrows that shining brow;
Souls taken from Time’s cold tide
He folds to his fostering breast,
And the tears of their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts of rest;
And still earth’s madness above,
In a kingdom of stormlcss breath,
I gaze on a light that is love,
In the unveiled face of Death.
Through the splendor of stars impcarled
In the glow of their far off grace
He is soaring world by world.
With the souls in his strong embrace;
Lone ethers unstirred by a wind,
As the passage of death grows sweet,
With the fragance that floats boliind
The flash of his winged retreat;
And I. earth’s madness above,
’Mid a kingdom of tranquil breath,
Have gazed on the lustre of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
But beyond the stars and sun
I can follow him on his way,
Till the pearl-white gates are won
In the cairn of the central day.
Far voices of fond aectaim
Thrill down from the place of souls,
As Death, with a touch like flame,
Uncloses the goal of goals;
And from heaven of heavens above
God epeaketh with bateless breath—
My angel of perfect love
Is the angel meu call Death!
THE SABBATH DAY
SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR
AND DO ALL THY WORK.
A DEPARTMENT WHERE CHRISTIANS OF
ALL DEGREES CAN FIND GOOD
AND WHOLESOME FOOD.
ARE YOU READY FOR THEM?
Tou are looking for a place and
a work in the world ; are you read}
for them ? If you are, you may be
suro they are waiting for you.
Thousands of men are lookinp
for situations, but it is astonishing
how difficult it is to find the right
man when there is a place to be
filled.
A host of men want it, but not
one in a hundred is ready for it.
Beadiness implies something more
than willingness to roll up one’s
sleeves; it means ability to do the
thing required with skill, zeal, and
absolute fidelity. A merchant
wants a clerk; he can fill the place
twenty times over with good, stea
dy-going, well-meaning, humdrum
men; he will be lucky if he finds
in half a year the boy who will
take all thought of the place off his
mind by the energy, capacity, and
general intelligence he brings into
it.
There is an opening in some
newspaper office, and the need is
advertised ; there is at once a host
of applicants; out of them, twenty
five young men can be selected
who will do the work set before
them fairly well; but the young
man who will really fill the place
and expand it, who will overflow it
with vitality, freshness and life,
must be searched for far and wide,
as with a lighted candle.
These select workmen, who add
to general good intentions the con
centration and the mastery which
go with high power, are the men
for whom the world is looking, and
for whom there is always a place.
They survive financial crises and
outlive hard times because they
are indispensable ; if their employ
ers go to tho wall they rarely wait
long for another opportunity. The
only safe road to success runs past
the door of the man who has made
up bis mind to do one thing, and
to do it with all his might; to fo
ous himself on it, and to ponr him
self into it Whatever yon decide
to do, qualify yourself for it by
mastering every detail of it, fling
youintlt Imuft lud non) into it*
Ara you iunti) /—diii*tutu viiiou*
A BOY DOING HOUSEWORK.
lam a boy in my teens, and I
am not afraid to have people come
in and catch me doing housework.
I have a mother that is not very
healthy, and I help her with the
hoasework. Although I work dur
ing the day, I like to help her in
the evening by washing the dishes,
sweeping, taking care of the fires
and doing other indoor work. A
year ago last summer, when not
working I amused myself by wash
ing the dishes, sweeping the floors,
taking care of my sisters, (I have
three), rnnning on errands, and do
ing any other duty I was asked to
perform, besides having plenty of
time for music, reading and other
amusements. Now in a family
where there are three little chil-;
dren, and a boy old enough to help
around the house, I think it no dis
grace to help my mother, who has
all she can attend to in keeping
her children clean and out of mis
chief. I don’t have to black the
stove, make bread, and perform
other duties that some city boys
have to do. I don’t believe in bdys
banging around street corners from
early in the morning until they
get hungry, and then go home and
get something to eat and be oil
again, and out late at night, while
their mothers are almost ready to
drop after doing the duties which
belong to these boys, such as bring
ing coal from the cellar, etc. I was
a believer in such things once, but
I have got a mother who has
taught me how to do housework,
and lam glad to help her. Boys,
turn over anew leaf now—don’t
wait till New Year’s—and help
your mothers.
"Wee Willie Cottage.
Athens, Ga., March 8, 1880.—Dear Dr.
Brockett—For two weeks before I began
using your “Deloctalave,” I had been suf
fering a good deal from my gums, tongue
and roof of my mouth, a tiling unusual
with me. 1 tried several remedies hut
with no avail. Then I resorted to your
new preparation and found speedy relief.
The state of my throat was almost im
proved. Judging by my own experience
I think this mouth wash very valuable,
and 1 most heartily and confidently com
nioud it to public attention and general
use. I bog to remain most truly yours.

Moonlight Picnic.
Few entertainments ever equal the
recent moonlight picnic at Bowden’s Mill,
near this city. Quite a number of our
young poople wont on this excursion, and
the pleasure experienced can better be
imagined than expressed. A bountiful
repast was prepared in the grovo near by
which was partaken of with an informal
ity that showed the decided appreciation
of those present. The evening was love
ly and tlio drive was charming in the ex
treme.

VEAZET’S
EGYPTIAN
HORSE AND CATTLE
FOWKEEi.
FOR HORSES, CATTLE, SHEEP, HOGS,
CHICKENS, DUCKS, GEESE.
Some months ago Mr. W. E. Veazey, of
Veazey, Ga., compounded a valuable prep
aration for the cure of various diseases in an
imals and poultry. He hesitated to put it
on the market until its curative merits were
fairly tested. It has now stood the ordeal
of faithful trial, and is pronounced to be
one of the best remedies extant. The de
mand for It has already been established.
We print below a voluntary testimonial of
its Intrinsic curative virtues.
VgAZET, Ga, May 29, 1886.
Mr. Willie E. Veazey,
DkamSik Yours of the 26th inst to
hand. In which you request my estimate
ef the'remedial and mededicinal proper
ties of your '‘Egyptian’" horse and cattle
powder, a formula of which you gave me
some time ago. I desire to say that I made
a most thorough investigation of the several
ingredients contained in your powder, and
unhesitatingly pronounce it a most wonder
ful compound. It is almost entirely veg
etable, and is absolutely one of tho best
preparations for *the diseases of the stom
ach. bowels and other organs of the abdo
minal cavity that I know of. It must neces
sarily prove a fine cattle preparation, as it
is a powerful stimulant of the secretory or
gans. It is a blood purifier, and in lung
and kidney troubles will he most salutary.
Wishing you sucesss,
lam very respectfully,
W. F. Hailes, M. D.
P. S. I desire to state fuither, that I have
used some of the powders on a cow that
1 have, and the improvement in her condi
tion and the increase of milk have been re
markable. W. F. H.

THE SKIN
ITS DISEASES AND CURE.
This class of troublesome complaints em
braced a large list, some of which affiict
nearly every family in the land. Hereto
fore the treatment of nearly all these dis
eases has lieen very unsatisfactory and un
successful, and the people have been very
much deceived by pretended remedies. A
majority are caused by an impure, vitiated
condition of the blood, and as most of the
blood remedies of the day requrc 50 to 100
bottles before you discover that they will
,not effect a cure, we offer B. B. 8., which
makes positive cures by the use of only a
few bottles.
The most common of the skin diseases
which are cured by the use of B. B. 8.,
the only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows.
Eczema, Old Ulcers,
Impetigo, Abscesses,
Erysipelas, Dry Tetter,
Ringworm, Carbuncles,
Scaldhead, Itching Humors.
Pluritus, Blotches,
Old Sores, Herpes,
Pimples, Boils,
Itchc, Splotches.
BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION
is sought by the use ot cosmetics and all
sorts of external applications, some of them
being poisonous.
All females love to look pretty (which gen
tlemen do not object to), and a smooth, soft,
clear complexion adds greatly to female
charms.
The use of B. B. B. will purify your
blood, will remove blotches, splotches and
bumps that appear upon the face and neck,
and will tinge the pale cheek to the
roseate hues of nature. One or two bottles
will convince any one of its value. No
family should fail to keep B. B. B in the
house as there is no family medicine its
equal.
One author says: “Rheumatism is due
to the presence in the blood of a vegetable
organism of definite characters.”
Another savs: “It is due to the presence
of a poison in the blood which is of the na
ture of a miasm.”
The disease having its origin in the blood,
it is reasonable to suppose tiiat it must be
cured by remedies directed to tbe blood.
A successful remedy must produce cer
tain changes in the composition of the blood
and when this has been accomplished, all
pain, swelling and stiffncsl of the joints
subside.
This accounts for tbe reason why exter
nal applications fail to produce permanent
relief.
But we now have the remedy which acts
like magic in giving relief to all forms of
rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism
of Iho joints muscles and lieurt. It also
euroa syphilitic and mercurial paius and
rheumatism in an incredibly short time.
Tbe fact cannot be denied that B. B. B.
(Botanic Blood Balm) has proven itself to
lie the most s|>cesiy and wonderful remedy
for all forms ot rheumatism ever before
kuowo. Those who were prostrated In
bed And could not get about, have been
cured. Men with two crutches, and hob
bling along with stiffened and |iaiuful joints,
withered flesh, loss of sleep and appetite,
are cured by tbe use of B. B. B. Cast
