CARROLLTON. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 17, 1884.
TWO PRAYERS.
I’oor old Aunt Judy Judkinr,
with pipe, in m iutli and staff in
hand, was creeping slowly along
toe crowded pavement of the city’s
thoroughfare.
Her heart was full of i>itter
memories, and also a sort of forlorn
desire to dutifully serve God.—
Ti ere was a constant waring of
opposing elements in Aunt Judy's
soul. In earlier years she had
been a hard, severe woman, more
anxious to exact justice and punish
the sinner, than to show me rcy and
forgive as she would be forgiven.
Her nature had softtned to a de
gree since old age with its trying
infirmities li id co ne creeping on,
but fhere was still a tendency in
her nature to forget mercy rather
than to i-einember it and so forget
wrath.
She occupied a little cabin on
the city s outskii ts, and here at
night the passe;s-by could some
times hear her praying, a d beg
ging God to help her Lear her bur
den and loss. What loss ? Ah,
therein lay the gnat trial of poor
Aunt Judy’s hard experience.
ears and years befoic, when
her step was lighter and her hair
black instead of gray, Aunt Judy
had an only son, a wild, thought
less buy, who sailec the seas, but
would return now and then, and
never forgot to bring home some
nice presen'; to hisvxacting moth
er. Jack, like most as his kind,
was mischievous but vvarni'heaited,
and his mother despite her seeming
harshness loved him with all her
heart.
But no v for many a year Jack
had not returned, and long ago
his mother bad given him up for
lost.
The result had been a hard strug
gle, for with her great fondness for
the young man, and her natural in
clining towards leligion, the inward
oaf tie waged was a tierce one. At
the Bethel where Aunt Judy’s grat
ing voice was often heard in prayer,
those present could always judge
of her frame of mind from the
tone at every beginning of the pc
titicn. Sometimes the plea was
for mercy, sometimes for justice,
but those who knew her pitied her.
She had been driven from one
poor home to armther until now the
rout required for the miserable cab
in she occupied was generally earn
ed by the time the month ctime
round.
Ami so we come again to the
day when with pipe in month and
staff in hand she crept along the
streets. All at once a party of
mt n, jolly and rude, came hurrying
along and one accidentally thrust
the pipe from her mouth as he was
gesticulating to his companions.—
The prompt ‘-Beg pardon, ma'am,’’
failed to mollify the fact that her
long-smoked pipe was gone, and
she t.irncd on the offender a scowl
so portentous that with a half hu
morous, half serious “Saints pre
serve us the man hurried away.
Then a sudden thought seemed
to strike him as looking after the
hobbling figure he said pityingly:
“Hi mates! I might a-given the
poor old soul another pipe- I've
got another somewhere in my
blouse. Bide you nigh the wharf
an’ I'll return betimes.'
He started after her, and soon
was just behind her, but some
strange impulse held him back, for
instead ts accosting, hefsimply fol
lowed her as in her indignation she
made unusual speed. She led him
a long tramp, almost beyond the
city's limits, where she entered a
little cabin and at once fell on her
knees.
At witnessing so strange a pro
cedure the man quietly entered the
door and listenecl curiously to what
her prayer might be. It first amus
ed, then absorbed and finally over
come him completely. She prayed
thus :
“Oh Lord God of Heaven, thou
| who art an all seein' an' a just
I God, thou who wert a' lookin’ on
‘ when that rough man, without no
i reason in the world for his actions,
i knocked th’ old comfort out o’ my
t ,
‘ mouth, an' thou 'who art just,
please reward that unfeeling man
according to his dcsarts. Punish
him as thou seest fit, but please
punish so great a rudeness to me,-
mc, Lord, a poor old mortal as hits
had few comforts since n.y own
bov, poor old Jack, went asailin' off
never to return no more to his poor
old mother, and bring
her pipes and fun in things to eat;
and wear. Oh God, if that rough i
man’s got a mother, make her teach i
him that old bodies like me needs
kindness and not knocks. And
save us all.—yes. Lord, save that
man too, for alter all he's some
body’s own boy. Amen."
AVhen Aunt Judy arose trend)
lingly from her knees, a middle
aged man with a kindly look, a
rough, unshaven face and sailor's
blouse, was sitting with his face
in his hands on an inverted tub in
her poor little room.
As she gained her feet he looked
up; then to her speechless amaze
ment he went and stood before her
and taking her by the shoulder.- he
said brokenly :
“It was me that knocked your
pile out o' your mouth, and what's
more I'm your cwn Jack,
sought his old mother far an'Avide.
I followed you to give yon another
pipe, and so God brought me home
to you; but mother, mother, ye no
prayed for merev, but for wrath
upon your Loy !’’
With her h..nds uplifted hi-h
above her head all unawa'-e of the
tragic position, old Aunt Judy
cried aloud, ‘Let's pray again!’’
And on lhe instant she began in
sobbing accents :
“Oh God of mercy ana of love,
oh God of pity ano forgiveness, it
was all a mistake. Oh Lord ! my
boy never meant unkindness to me i
nor to any other poor old body, so |
p'ay not punish him, Lord, but on i
ly Ir-'.ve the ten l’rest pity and com-!
passion on my boy, tor he's mv |
own boy, oh Lord, my own lost
son, come back to comfort his po'-r
lonesome old mother. And pitv
and forgive these a» really do
wrong, oh Loro, for half the time
they does’t mean to, and partiu’lar
ly don't remember that other pray
er, because it warn’t a rough, un
feelin' man that hit old comfort
and sent it out of my m nith. Why,
merciful Gad, thanks be to thy
name forever,’f was my own boy,
my long lost sod, so forget my
vvraht and remember only mercy.
Amen.'’
J tick’s mates at the wharf won
dered and wondered what kept him
so long, but when at length he ap
peared it was with a face beaming
with pleasure, and to their aston
ishment he told them he wasgoiii<»
to skip the next little place, and
was g»iu’ to be a landsman for
awhile.
The next tine Aunt Judy Jud
kins went to the Bethel, a strange ,
man in a sailor's blouse went will).
Ixer, and people who knew her won
dered worrit could be, but when
she got up and prayed, they all
guessed; imt that she referred di
rectly in her prayer to the return
of her long lost son, but the tone
of the prayer was all in one direc
tion. She wanted only mercy, pity,
compassion, forgiveness and salva
tion for every one, because they
were all God's children, and be
sides that, they were all some poor
woman's own dear child, and when
they really did wrong, half the
time they didn’t mean to.—Mrs.
Harriet A. Chcever.
Made Sick
Rome CoHt i-ir.
Mr. Editor. 1 have been made
sick and can't get well until I see
some clir.nge in the work system in
towns and cities. Our women
work hard but that is all right I
have not a word to say against
that, for it is right to work and all
ought to work. But they don't
get enough lor their work, well,
that will do, I have nothing to say
against that. \’V hat is it then that
makes you sick? Well, if you will
join me some Monday morning and
walk with me mto the city, 1 will
show you the young and old of
our women from every side of the
city going into back rooms in stoic
houses and other such places to
gather up dirty clothes and often
the young find the wicked in wait
to their hurt. But the clothes are
gathered together until there is a
dray load collected and then placed
on their head and carried from
two to three miles. Now, Mr.
Ekitor, would it not be better for
our women to stay at home and
have the clothes sent around in a
drav, and save our young girls the
temptation that is so often presen
ted to them l»y the wicked? Men
will send mound dry goods, wood,
coal and most anything else, why
not dirty clothes? Mr. Editor,
don’t let this go into the waste box,
but make it ring out until the
woods echo, for I tell you I am
sick. •

There is a sort of pallid, chalky

a “wash-out complexion." It is
ghastly enongh, and no mistake.
Washed-out, faded, discolored, or

to its original color, whatever it

TILDEN’S LETTER.
Why the Work of Re foam Can be de no
Cnly by the Democratic Par»y
Noble Words From Mr. Tilden.
New York, October I.— The fol
lowing is the full text of the letter
which Mr Tilden had written in
response to the resolutions of the
national democratic converirion,
which were presented to him sever
al Weeks ago:
“Mr. Chairman aud gentlemen
of the Committee: I thank you
for the kind terms in which you
have cummunictited the resolutions
adopted by the late democratic na
tional convention. 1 share your
conviction that reform in tne ad-
of the federal govern
ment, which is our great want,
and is indeed essential to the res
toration and preservation of the
government itself, can only be
achieved through the agency of the
democratic party and by installing
its representatives in the chief |
magistracy of the United States.— I
Ihe nvbk; historical traditions of!
the democratic party; the princi
ples in which it, was educated and
to which it has evei been in the
main, failhlul; its freeJom fio.n
the corruot influences which grew
iii the prolonged posbcssion of pow
er, and the nature of the elements
which constitute it —al! contribute
to qualify it fur that mission.—
The opposite characteristics and con
dit on which attach to the rcpubli-i
can party make it hopeless to ex-i
pect that that party will be able J
to give a better government than
the debasing system of fraud which
during its ascendancy, has infe'-ted
oflicial and political life in this
country. The democratic party
had its origin in the effort of the
more advanced leaders of the re
volution to resist a perversion of
our government from the ideal
contemplated by the people. A
mong its conspicuous founders
were Benjamin Franklin and Thos.
Jefferson,Samuel Adams and John
Hancock, of Massachusetts; George
Clinton and Robert R. Livingston
of New Y'ork; George Wythe and
James Madison, of Virginia.—
From the election of Mr. Jefferson
as president in 1800, for sixty years
the democratic party mainly decided
our national policy. It extended
the boundaries of the republic and
laid the foundation of al) our na
tional greatness, while it preserved
i the liitniacions imposed by the con
stitution and maintained a simple
and pure system of domestic ad
ministration. Ou the other hand
the republican party has always
dominated by principles which fa
vor legislation fur the benetit of
particular classes at the expense of
the great body of the .people. It
has become deeply tinted with the
abuses which naturally grow du
ring long possession oi uncheck
ed power, especially iu a period
of civil war tmd false financial
theories. The patriotic and virtu
ous elements in it aie now unable
to emancipate it from the sway us
the selfish interests which subor
dinate public duty to personal greed.
The most hopeful of the best citi
zens it contains despair of its amend
ment, except through its temporary
expulsion from power. It has
been ooastingly asserted by a mod
ern Massachusett statesman, strugs
gling to reconcile himself and his
followers to their presidential can
didate, that tlie republican party
contains a disproportionate share
cf the wealth, culture and intel
ligence of the country. Unprin
cipled Grafton, when taunted by
James the 11, with his personal .
want of conscience, answered; “That I
is true, but I belong to a party that
iuis a great deal of conscience.'’
Such reasoners forget that the same
claim lias been made in all ages
and countries by defenders of old
wrongs vs. new reforms. It was al
leged by the toriesof the American
revolution against patriots of that
day. It was repeated against Jef
ferson, and afterwards against
Jackson. It was alleged by the
conservatives against these who in
England are now endeavoring to
enlarge the popular suffrage. All
history shows that reforms in gov
eminent must not be expected
from those who sit serenely on so
cial mountain tops, enjoying the
benefits of the existing order of
things. Even the divine author
of our religion found his followers,
not among self complacent phari
sees, but among the lowlyminded
fishermen. The republican party
is largely made up by those who >
live by their wits and who aspire
in politics to advantages over the i
rest of raanking similar to those '
which their daily lives are devoted 1
to secure in private business* The
democratic party consists largely
of those who live by the work of
their hands and whose political ac
tion is governed by their senti
meats or imagination. It results •
that the democratic party more
readily than the republican party
can be molded to the support of re
form measures which involves a
sacrifice of selfish interest. The
indespensableneeesissty of our times
is change of administration in the
great executive office of the country.
This, in my judgement, can only
bo accomplished by the election
of the democratic candidates for
president and vice-president.

GOLD AND SILVER.
| Dollars oi ths Precious Meial Now in
the Country
Washington, October 9.—The
direction of the mint estimates the
amount of gold and silver coin in
the United States on the Ist of Oc
tobei; ISS4, at B^ls,odd,GOO. Os
this amount 8558,000,000 is gold,
8182,000.000 standard Hlver dol
lars, and 8754.100,000 subsidiary
silver. This is a gain from the Ist
of October, 1883,"'of $35,000,000,
813,000,000, being gold coin and
822,000,000 silver. In addition
to the coin in circulation on the
I'M of October, the mints and as
say uffi.es held bullion for coinage
at that date amounting to $53,000,-
000. and of silver $5,000,000, unak
ing the total amount of United
Stales coin and bullion available
for coinage iu the cou itiy o i the
Ist of October, 1884, $872,000,-
000, of which $610,000,000 is
gold and $262,000,000 silver.
The amount of gold coin outside
of tiie treasury was about $75,000
000 less than on the first of Octo
ber, 1883, while the amount ii.
the treasury was $20,000,000 more.
The aim>mit of silver in bunks and
general circulation is about SB,-
000,000 less than in 1883, and the
amount iu the treasury about $31,-
000,000 more. The amount out
standing of gold and silver
certificates is nearly $50,000,000
more than on the first of (October,
1883. National bank rotes have
decreased about $17,000,000, of
which the amount in the treasury
increased about $5,000,000.
General Lee to His Sod.
We make no apology for print
ing the following letter, in spite of
its age. It is a noble paper that
every son shouhl read with benefit.
It was written by General Lee to
to his son, as the date will show, in
1852:
Arlington Heights, April 5 1852.
—My dear son : lam just in the
act of leaving home for New Mex
ico. My fine old regiment has
been ordered to that distant region,
and 1 must hasten to sec that they
are properly taken care of. I have
but little to add in reply to your
letters of Mai ch 26, 27 and 28.
A'our letters breathed a true spirit
of frankne-s ; they have already
given myself and your mother
great pleasure. You must study
to bo frank with the world ; frank
ness is the child cf honesty and
courage. Say what you mean to
Ho on every occasion, and take it
for granted you mean to do right.
If a friend asks a favor you should
grant it if it is’reasonable; if not,
tell him plainly why you cannot;
you will wrong him and yourself
by equivocation of any kind. Nev
er do a wrong thing to make a
friend or to keep one; the man who
requires you to do so is dearly pur
chased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly
but firmly with all your classmates;
you will find it the policy which
wears best. Above all, do not ap
pear to others what you are not. —
If you have any fault to find with
any one, tell him, not others, of
what you complain; there is no
•more dangerous experiment than
that of undertaking to be one thing
before a man's face and another
behind his back. We should live,
act and say nothing to the injury
of any one. It is not only best as
a matter of principle, but it is the
path to peace and honor.
In regard to duty, let me, in con
clusion of this hasty letter, inform
you that nearly a hundred years ago
there was a day* of remarkable gloom
and darkness —still known as the
daik day—a day when the light of
the sun was slowly extinguished as
if by an eclipse. The legislature
of Connecticut was in session, and
as the members saw the unexpect
ed and unaccountable darkness
coining on they shared in the gen
eral awe and terror. It was sup
posed by many that the last day—
the day of judgement—had come.
Some one in the consternation of
the hour moved an adjournment.
Then there arose an old Puritan
legislator. Devenport, cf Stamford,
who said if the day had come lie
desired to be at his place doing his
duty, and therefore moved that
candles be brought in so that the
house could proceed with its duty;
There was quietness in that man’s
mind—the quietness <sf heavenly
wisdom—an inflexible willingness
to obey present duty. Duty, then,
is the sublimest word in our lan
guage. You cannot do more; you
should never wish to do less. Nev
er let me and your mother wear
one gray hair for lack of duty on
your part.
Your affectionate father,
To G. W. Custis Lee. R. E Lee.
• An Anecdote cf Webster.
I will repeat an anecdote which
! I think Webster gave ar that din
. uer, though, as 1 made no note of
it, it is just possible that he told
it in my preseu-e at some later
date. The conversation was run
ning upon the importance of doing
small things thoroughly and with
the full measure of one's ability.
This Webster illustrated by an ac
count of some p<tty insurance case
tiiat was brought to him vvhi u a
young lawyer at P< rtsinuuth. On
ly a small amount v.as involved,
ami a twenty dollar fee was all
that was promised. He saw th t,
to do his clients full justice, a jom
ney to Boston, to consult the Law
Library was desirable. He would J
be out of pocket by such an expo- '
dition, aud for his time he would
receive no adequate compensation.
After a little hesitation, he deter
mined to do Lis v< ry best, cost
what it tiiighr. lie ; vcordmgly
went to Bot-ton, looked up the an i
thorit'us, and gained the case.
Years aftei this, Webster, then fa

ey \va- no object, and Webster was
begged to nauiv ids terms and con-;
duct tlie case. “I told them," said
Mr. Webster, “that it was prepos
tt rou s to prepare a legal argument
in a few hours.’ notice. They in
sisted, however, that 1 should look
at the papers; aud this after some j
demur, I consulted to du. Well,
it was my old twenty-dollar case
over again, and, as 1 never forget
anything I had all the authuj'itics
at my Anger’s ends. The couit
knew that I had no’time topreparc,
and were astonished at the range
of my acquirements. So, you see,
I was handsomely paid both in
fame and in money for that jour- '
ney to Boston; and the moral is
that good work is rewarded in the
end, though, to be sure, ones’ self
approval should be enough —Josiah

Stop aud We-gh,
One morning an enraged coun
tiynien came into Mr. M’». store
with very angry looks. He left a
team in the street, and had a good
stick in his hand.
“Mr. M.,” said the angry coun
tryman, “I bought a paper of nut
megs here in your store, and when
I got home they were more than
half walnuts; and that’s the villian
I bought them of,” pointing to
John.
“John,’’said Mr. M., “did you
sell this man walnuts for nutmeg?”
“No, sir,” was the ready reply.
“You lie, you young villian!”
said the countryman, still more en
raged at his assurance.
“Now, look here,” sod John,
“if you had taken the (rouble to
weigh your nutmegs, you would
have found that I put in the wal
nuts free gratis.”
“Oh, you gave them to me, did ‘
you?”
“Yes, sir; 1 threw iu a handful
for the children to crack,’’ said
John, laughing at the same time.
“Well, now, if you ain’t a young
scamp,” said the countryman, his .
features relaxing into a grin as ho :
saw through the matter.
Much bard talk and bad blood
would be saved if people would
stop to weigh things before they
blame others.

Clas-ifying Profanity.
Young Theologue—Yes, we
think you might class “gosh-dmn”
and “dad-bing” as profane swear
ing. “Gaul ding” be con
sideied a swear word. “I’m swiz
zled'* is another. All these words
are the outgrowth of a terrible
struggle, a theohigical compromise
arranged by our Puritan ancestor’s
who recognized with faultless spir
itual vision and worldly* accuraen
the necesity of a pure life and a •
sinless vocabulary, aud at the same
time the utter impossibility* of plow
.ing a New England stone patch
without a class of words designed
to releivc the overburdened mind
and astonished feelings every time
the plow handles broke a man’s
ribs and extorted every last drop
of vital breath from his panting ■
I body.—Bub Burdette. j
