CALLING ON THE OLD FOLKS.
Et joying the Poetry of tie Occasion
Befoic Arriving at the Old Home.
A prominent contractor ana
buiUer of this city tells a good sto
ry at his own expense, but he does
n t tell it often. When he was but
a lad, his parents arrived at the
conclusion that it was advisable to
have one tiller of the soil in the
family, so a home was obtained for
him with a childless couple and he
was banished to Oakland County
to learn how to tickle the soil with
a hoe, and do other farm work,
It only required a single season
to convince him that shelling corn
hoeing potatoes and milking long
tailed cows possessed no undying
attractions for him, especially as
he and the farmer and his wife dif
fered radically upon various mat
ters of household economy, and
particulaily upon the amount of
pie necossarj to satisfy the stom
achic cravings of a healthy and
growing bog, so one night he re
turned to Detroit without even so
liciting the approval of his foster
parents. Nor did they mourn and
refuse to be comforted.
Years rolled on and the boy be
came a man and master of a trade.
He embarked in business for him
self and fortune favored him.—
Being in Pontiac one day on busi
ness, and having a few hours at his
disposal, he decided to revisit the
old farm and note the changes time
had worked, and, if the old folks
were still living, give them a sur
prise. He argued that the stal
wart form and bearded face that
had come with manhood, and,
above all, his smart clothe-% would
be a sufficient disguise; and he
laughed in anticipation of the con
sternation they would feel when
they came to realize that here was
the boy who wanted more Die.
Procuring a spanking pair of
horses and a glittering top-buggy
he drove along the well-remernbcr
ered country highway. An hour'
later a turn in the road brought the
old farm in view. There was the
old house, looking somewhat older
and more dilapidated, but the old
b irn had disappeared and a new,
red one stood upon its site. The i
old well sweep was there, and be-!
side the path lending from the road !

to the porch, a woodpile that look
ed exactly like the one he had
formed an intimate acquaintance!
with nearly a score of year •before. ;
So far as his eyes'ght could detect
the self-same geese and turkeys
saluted him as he dismounted and
hitched his horses to the fence post
and there upon the porch sitting
bolt upright knitting away at the
same grtyy stocking was
Mrs. McGlory, dressed in the same
stuffy ol<l garments and looking
scarcely a day older.
Quickly he decided to assume
the character of a real estate agent
desiring to purchase a farm, start
ed up the path, being fully aware
that the old woman was eyeing
him closely over tlie top of her
spectacles. 21s he reached the
woood-pile she exclaimed:
“Patsy, me bye, av yez cornin'

G. IV. jz in the Haralson Banner.
I see in the papers that Dr.
Cousins and Miss Fuller were mar
ried recently. Now the Dr. is all
light, but the question is, does not
the law prohibit her from marry
ing her cousins? Perhaps a Fuller
s'atement would throw light on the
matter. lam getting the storm
pit business down to a fine point. I
have it . arranged in a systematic
way. It is under stood that my wife
takes baby,Minnie takes Ruth,Wm.
takes Dot, Nellie takes Kittie,
and I take—the lead, whenever the
pit needs going to.
It looks like I get intc more scrapes
than anvbody. 1 had occasion
to go over to Atlanta on business
not long since, and the next day
after I got back my wife stuck a
paper in my face with her fingei
on a paragraph, which read this
way: “Col G. W. M. and lady are
stopping at the Markham. From
appearances the Col. must have cap
tured his charming bride quite
recently.” There arc some things i
that arc pretty hard to explain,
and right here I was convinced that
“honesty is the best policy.” She
had never caught me in a falsehood,
and when 1 told her that while the
circumstances looked a little suspic
ious, yet it must have been an other
gentleman of my name. She argiu
cd with me that such a thing might
happen, but said she had heard
of nobody of my name before,and
that it looked a little strange that
we both happened to be there at
the same time. She has been trying
to get me to write ano find out som
thing about him, and sec if we ain’t
akin, but I don’t care whether we
are or not. I’ve got plenty of kin
folks closer home.
Little boys, I want to say a few
tvr»i-zL A£<*lxvr cliivl tliauivr
your habits while you have power
over them. You have the power over
tin m now; you can drive bad habits
away, but if you yield to them,they
will aftei a while become a part of
your nature and then they will be
the masters and you will be the slav
es. Some little boys think it is
smart to curse. They thinkdt makes
them more like a man. Well, it
does make them retemble some
men, bnt men who curse and swear
are not the ones for you to patterr,
after. Their pattern is altogether
evil, and their habits of using vile
oaths in their conversation is quite
disgusting. Even little boys like
you have a contempt for such men
and I am sure if you will just think
how foolish a habit swearing is,
you will not imitate them. It won’t
do for me to abuse them, because I
have been guilty of it myselfWhcn
I was a boy a man by the name of
Brown worked on the farm with
me. He was a bad hand to curse,and
I learned from him,and, although
1 finally quit it, I foun 1 it hard to
do,and I want to warn you not to
do as I did.
Now boys, it may be that your
uncle John, or uncle Tom, or your
bi other Bill curses, or may be your
father does, and these are all good
clever fellows, and a boy’s father is
the biggest man, and the best man
in the world in a boy's estimation
and he ought to be, but don’t curse
even if these all do. Shame them
about it, and it may be thatyou may
break them of this bad habit if you
are nothing but simply a little boy
A oy can do a great deal of good
or bad if he tries. Did you everthink
of it that men are made of boys?
The world might use al! the talents
and sense and machinery, and mon
ey, and everything els n , to try to
get up a man and it would all end
in failure unless they had a bjy to
begin with. With all the scolding
and all the apuse the boys get,
they are still important factors in
society.

(John Bunyan.
, For tha Carroll County Times.
About two and a half centuries
ago, away in the heart of England;
near the town of Bedford, there
was a tinker’s lonely’ cottage in
which was born one destined to
rise among the first ranks of Eng
lishmen of letters, and to wield a
i world of influence by his wonder
■ ful thoughts and miraculous pow—
j era, charming the human mind to
that which he had written and
spoken. The name of Jno. Bun
yan, the tinker’s son, is to day as
the peasant’s cottage as
it is in the king s palace ; to the
poor and unlettered of the world,
as it is to the rich and learned. His
life was a mystery, a miracle, from
the cradle to the grave.
Like almost all other great and
good men, he rose from an obscure
hut of poverty and ignorance.—
Born as he was in the times, when
Puritanism and Catholicism were
at cruel war with each other; rear
ed in the faith and under the teach
ings of the Puritans, the dissenters
from the church of England, and
listening to the hubbub of church
dissension, it seems but natural,
that he was harrassed for
many years with the doubts wheth
er the Christian or the Catholic,
Hie Jewish or Pagan was the right
and lawful churches, and the one
in which he could ultimately ob
tain rest and happiness from “his
unpardonable sins.” It seems that
his powerful imagination and keen
sensibility developed into a disease
of haunted religious terrors and
sometimes into spasms.
Being poor and ignorant and
thus terribly prepared concerning
church affairs, and not beinjz able
to decide which to follow, he nat
urally drifted from them all and
followed thu najb <»r wickedness.
Many years of his life were spent
in ready and wicked dissipation ;
in so much, indeed, that he styled
himself “the chief of sinners.”—
During this stage of his life he en
listed in the Parliamentary aimy,
but reckless and frivolous as he
was then, he found no peace there,
so he returned home in a short
time.
Soon after returning from the
army he was married to a poor but
pious young lady, who had as her
only possession, a few pious books.
And it was by the contents of these
books and the restraining influence
of his wife that he was persuaded
to turn from his wicked ways and
become a Christian.
For a long time after his conver
sion he was very notional in his re
ligious opinions, and he passed
many wearisome nights in hideous
dreams of dreadful and terrifying
visions. But at last the strong
holds of satan was kroken, the fu
rious clouds were rent and he en
joyed peace and abiding confidence
in the goodness of God. And soon
after this he joined the Baptist so
ciety at Bedford.
But it was not his marriage nor
his wealth nor his wickedness nor
even his religion alone that gave
to Bunyan his world-wide and im
mortal name. But rather, it was
his wonderful imagination and
power of thought, his freedom,
grace, and ease in writing, and
above all, his simple, but unpar
allelled genius as an allegorical
writer.
Bunyan's biographers tell ns
that he was an illiterate man, that
his education was very limited ; yet
some of his works possess many of
the highest qualities known to
Rhetoric. His thoughts and ex
pressions were precise and his
works marvelously comprehensive.
So simple, indeed, and yet so care
ful and exact was he in the selec
tion of his words, so beautiful and
symmetrical are his thoughts that
the most unlettered peasants can
find poetry in his expressions, grace
and genius in his manners, and can
readily perceive the great truth
which his works were intended to
teach* No glossary is needed and
rarely a dictionary is necessary’ to a
thorough understanding of his
words and sentences, although they
were written in the English tongue
of two centuries ajjo.
o
As a writer Bunyan was born a
genius, for in language he certain
ly had the advantage of his con
temporaries, because ho wrote in
the dialect of the English Bible.—
As a theologian he was evidently
in the first ranks, for it is said that
he was almost a commentary of
the Bible in himself, and his writ-*
ings show evidences of the highest
conception of the devine laws. He
was a devoted Christian, an elo
quent and profound preacher, and
served bis generation well. And
he was scourged and cast into pris
on at Bedford, where he remained
over twelve years. And it was
then and there in that lonely prison
cell that ho wrote that immortal
work, “The Pilgrims’ Progress,”
which, of all his efforts, was the
grandest success of his life. Next
to the Bible it is the most widely
read book in the language. It is a
manna 1 ( f devotion for the use of
simple folks, while at the same
time it is an allegorical poem of
grace.” For two centuries and
more it has been gaining glory’ and
honor for its author’s name, and
fulfilling its mission among men.
Bunyan’s glory lived after him, and
like a circle in the water it never
ceases to spread. And like our Sa
vior he was scorned and smitten of
men, he had no peace or real hap
piness in this life, no object but to
do the will of his Master, and like
him he had no where to lay his
head while'he abode upon earth, but
’‘Beyond the loftiest planet’s mystic sphere
He ru/es in more than royal purple here.”
while “The spirit of his thought
walks the earth in glory and in
light.” W. P. T.

Some months ago a party of
gtn-ariibis louhu picturesque
sketching-ground among the gran
ite quarries of Cape Ann, Massa
chusetts, and they made a number
of drawings which will appear in
the forthcoming March Hraper’s.
Miss Ellen Day Hale, the daughter 1
of Edward Everett Hale, herself
well known as a rising artist, was
one of the number, but instead of
contributing sketches she has writ- 1
ten the paper on the granite indus
try which the pictures illustrate,
giving in a chatty way an interest
ing account of stone-cutting in
general and these quarries in par
ticular. One of the most • curious t
facts she brings out is the idiosyir
crasy of various cities in the mat
ter of pavements, Philadelphia in
particular “insisting upon having
especially long and fair stones.”
The article and its pictures form
an interesting example of feminine
co-opera tien.
In connection with the approach
ing inauguration of President
Cleveland, two papers promised
for the March Harper’s will have
especial interest. One of the treas
ures of the library of Mr. Tiiden
is a good-sized book, bound in
calf, filled up in the handwriting of
Thomas Jefferson. It is the finan
cial diary of the great man, kept
by him from January 1, 1781,
while he was Secretary of State,
up to 1803, covering thus the first
two years of his Presidency. A
mong its entries is a careful sum
mary of all his expenses from
March 1, 1801, to March 1, 1802,
showing an expenditure of $32,
634.84, the various elements of
which are given in detail. Jeffer
son had as great a dislike of pres
ents as Mr. Cleveland, and even
insisted upon paying the duty on
certain wine procured from the
Spanish minister, who had impor
ted it duty free for his own use.
He also paid sixteen cents a pound
for a monster cheese, evidently
sent to him as a present. The in
teresting paper drawn from the
material of this diary is from the
pen of Hon. John Bigelow. The
other paper referred to is one on
“Manifest Destin v,” by Prof.
John Fiske.
