Margaret Winslow’s Victory. “I’m sure I don’t know what in the world to do!” said Margaret Winslow, half fretfully to heiself. She had been standing for the last ten minutes by the window, all dressed for going out, with the ex ception of her gloves, and those she had in her hands, but instead ot putting them on, she stood gaz ing out into the street with a look of vexed perplexity in her face. 1 he cause of this perplexity was the fact that Miss Green was suffer ing from a severe sick headache. Now, Margaret was assistant teacher in the “Young Ladies’ In stitute,” and boarded at Mrs. Bel lamy’s. Miss Green sewed in some establishment down town, and also boa’-ded at Mrs. Bellamy’s; but in stead of having a second story fiont room as Margaret did, hers was fourth floor back. Moreover, she was not particularly attractive -at least Margaret thought so; her face was sallow, sharp and discontented. Probably, it Margaret had given much thought to the subject, she would have wondered if she, too, might.not be sallow, »haftp, and disconsolate-looking if she had no home in the world but that little fourth-floor back room, and had to work hard from early in the morn ing until late at night, and then had to exercise the strictest econo my to live. But you see Margaret had never given five minutes’ consecutive thought to the subject; she simply put Miss Green down in her own mind as disagreeable, and paid no more attention to her. But somehow last evening at the tea fade she had looked so forlorn that she could not help noticing her, and she had wondered for a I moment how she would feel to be like Miss Green, alone in the world and never aldo to afford any good times. It was only for a minute, how ever, for Helen Grantley called for her to spend the evening with her, and Mvrgaict thought no moie of Miss Green mu i. she observed ! that her seat was vacant at the breakfast table. In the hall she met Fora, the chambermaid, on the way upstairs with a very slop pV'looking cup of tea and an un inviting-appearing slice of toast. Upon inquiry she found that it was destined for Miss Green, who >vas suffeirng severely from sick headache. “Perhaps she won’t mind, but I could never swallow a mouthful or that stuff,” thought I Margaret disdainfully, as she went to her own room. I And then somehow, something i suggested to her that perhaps here ' was a chance for her to do an act of Christian kindness. How for • lorn it must be for Mrs Green to be suffering alone in that little ? ■ dark room, with no oi e to wait up on or care for hei! Suppose she went up and sat with her, bathed I her head, and then brought her a fresh cup of tea and nice bit of toast? It would only be doing as she would like to be done by, cer tainly. But Saturday was her only holiday, and she had so much that she wish ed to do, the day was never half long enough, and to think of giv ing it up in this fashion! Besides, she hated taking care of sick peo ple. But that was just what they had talked about in Sabbath school only last Sabbath. It had seemed so beautiful then to live self-sacri licing, Christ-like lives, she had re solved within herself that she would strive earnestly to do so, and had really longed for some opportunity to deny herself; but she had not expected it to come in any such disagreeable manner as this. Oh deai! she wish *d that she had not happened to notice that Miss Green was nut at the table. “Now,” &he said fretfully, “1 might as well takeoff mv things first as last, for even if I went down street. I would not re.Jly enjoy myself.” “godlovete a cheerful giver.’ ; Margaret’s little Daily Food lay open on her bureau, and as sin- o pened the drawer to put away her gloves her eyes fell on those word , and her face crimsoned with sham * How should she feel to bavj any <>ne do anything for her in the spirit she was thinking of doin.r this service for her Master? for Margaret knew that in serving e ven the humblest she served "the Lord Jesus- But somehow she had forgotten that He might notice or care for the manner in which the service was performed. I am ashamed,” she said, as the tears gathered in her eyes. “I would never think of dJng a ser vice for an earthly friend so un graciously. I. ain sorry.” Then she went over and knelt down by the bedside, offering an humble prayer for forgiveness and help. You have no idea how much good you have done me,” said Miss Green, as Margaret hade her good night. “I was so lonesome and discouraged, it seemed to me that I hadn t a friend in the world. I don t see what made you give up your holiday to me, I’m sure.” “Christ, my best Friend, sent me. Won’t you let Him bo your friend? whispered Margaret, as she stooped and kissed Miss Green’s weary face. “I wish He was,” was the reply. “Perhaps He sent you to show me the way; will you?” “And oh, to think how near I came to not going,” thought Mars garet; as she went hack to her room. “I am sfl thankful.’—Kato Sumner Gates. Anecdotes of Distinguished Geor- • gians.’ In 1818, when Judge, John M. Berrien was presiding as Judge, he had sentenced a young man of Ef fingham county to be hanged for murder. In addressing the culprit he said: “You are young—would that I could add that you are innocent.— The bloom of youth still plays up on your cheeks—-would that 1 could add tkuit the consciousness of rect itude beams from jour‘counte nance. But it may not be. The sad reality is before me, and even in your youthful visage I behold the deep, indelible impressions with which guilt ever marks her fallen victims. Alas! what is man? The child of error, the sport of ev ery furious passion; a helpless ve? sei on the tempestuous ocean of life, without a rudder to guide it from the shoals and quicksands of vice. Such is the wretched condi tion of him who madly refuses tc yield to reason’s guidance/' NOT A MULATTO. Judge Levi S. DeLyon was well known m his day as a prominent lawj er of the (Savannah bar. lie had a very dark skin, so dark in deed, that by those who did not know him, he was likely to be ta ken for a bright mulatto. When on the circuit some of the young lawyers thought to play a practical joke on both Judge De Lyon and a hotel keeper. As they* knew Judge Deh on was on the road, would drhel up in the course of an houi, one of the lawyers told the hotel keepei that he had a servant on the road behind who would come up in time and that his servant was given to putting on airs, and wanted to pass himself off as a white man where he was not known; that he would drive up and order dinner just as a white man would; would want his horse taken to the stable by a ser vant, etc. In time, Judge Di Lyon drove up, and, of course, acted and talk ed like any othei gentleman would. He wanted dinner, iiis horse fed, etc. “Well,” said tho landlord, “you lean drive around to the stable and ■ unhitch an<l feed your hoi so, am. vou will' get your dinner in the kitchen.” I “What do you mean?” asked Jmfve DeLyon. “What do you i C 1 trike me to be? “I km>w you very well,” said the landlord. ’“You arc a stuck-up nigger, wlie wants to pass yourseli 1 off as a white mm. I know you. CARROLL TON. GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1885. 1 lie Judge felt indignant at i uch a!k, and was no doubt more point ed than polite in his talk to the l»>idlord. It then flashed across I his mind that some of the lawyers I had played a joke on the landlord with respect to himself, when he said to the landlord: “I expect some of the lawyers ■ have been making you the but of i a j°ke, and told you I was a mu-. •latto.” I “So they did,” said the land loid, and you look like one to my | Pje.” The judge in a few moments i convinced the doubting landlord that ne was Judge DeLyon, and that a trick had been played upon him. The landlord was full of apologies, and Judge DeLyon took I the joke on himself very good na turedly, as any sensible man would have done. NEVER BARGAIN FOR OFFICE. Gov. Charles J. McDonald was a man of the highest sense of hon or and truth. He was a man of great dignity of character, and yet the most approachable of men. In the days of his popularity and in fluence, he had many aproaches made him by men who sought to iibc to position through his influ ence. On one occasion he was approach ed by certain gentlemen of his par ty, when the prospect of high dig nities and elevated office was held up to him, if he would enter into combination to promote the per sona! ambition of others His reply was: “I have never bargained for any office, and il Ido not receive it without conditions I will never reach it.” It is enough to say he reached every office he sought, and died beloved and honored and mourned by a people who appreciated his talents and worth.—Savannah ( Morning News. Light, Heat and. Power Savannah News. Bradstreets takes a cheerful , view of the economies of heating and lighting in the future. It is- i disposed to concede in a great meas- ! lire the claims of the experimenters ! who arc now furnishing and pre- 1 paring to furnish cheap gas in ] scores, if not hundreds of citiesand large towns. The most remarkable I of these claims is that the cheapest 1 fuel known, not excepting wood in the primitive forests, or coal at the f mines, is a gas produced by one of j the new processes. The cost of this gas is estimated at 10 to 15 ’ cents per 1,000 feet, and it is said 1 < that one ton of coal converted into | this gas is equal to ten tons burned I in the ordinary way. : Natural gas is furnished t<> con- j sinners in Pittsburg and other 1 places at 15 cents per 1,000 and , even less, and it is fast displacing < wood and coal for all purposes to < which it can be applied. There is 1 little room to doubt that the cheap- ’ er processes ot manufacturing gas , will soon come into general use in < cities and towns where natural gas cannot be obtained. 1 It is a question whether there 1 will ae, and very great competition between gas and electricity. The latter will become more popular as the electric, science progresses, and as new inventions make elec tricity more economical, desirable and safe. When gas can be pro. i du cod at such fabulously low pri- ; ces as those mentioned it will be come an auxiliary, instead of being a rival of the electric systems of , lighting and heating, which are 1 ".. . 1 now in use, or being introduced. If gas engines can be operated at even one-fifth the expense that is now required to operate stearn en gines,the problem of producing elec tricity at a price that will bring it within the reach of the humblest! will have been solved. When the econcmy of the use of electricity is satisfactorily set- | tied, it will not belong before the question as to its desirableness and safety will disappear, and its use must be greatly extended, not on ly for lighting, but for heating | land the production of power. 1 John Plowman’s Talk. LIKE CAT LIKE KIT. Most men arc what their inotn ers made them. The father is away ; from home all day, and has not j half the influence over the children ! that the mother haft. The cow has most to do with the calf. If a rag ged colt grows into a good horse, we know who he was that combed ; him. A mother is therefore, a very responsible woman, even though she may be the poorest in the land, for t!ie bad or the good of her boys and girls vety much depends upon her, .As is the gar i dener such is tne garden, and as is the wife srtbh os the familv. Samuel's mother made him a little coat every year, but she done a ' a deal for him before that. Samuel would not have been Samuel if Hannah had not been Hannah. We shall never see a better set of men till the pothers are better. We must have Sarahs and Rebec cas before we shall see Isaacs an|l ■ Jacobs.

Ijlttll* /•! 11 L'] imn /rirn . -il Little children give their mother the headache, but if she lets them have their own way, when they grow to be great children they will give her the heartache. Foolish fond ness spoils many, and letting faults alone spoils more. Gardens that are never weeded will grow very little worth gathering; and no hoe ing will make a bad crop. A child may have too much of its mother’s love, and in the long run it. may turn out that it had' too little. Soft headed mothers have soft-headed children, they hurt them for life because they are afraid of hurting them when they are young. Coddle your children, and they will turn out nood les. You may sugai a child until everybody is sick of it. Boy’s jack ets need a dusting cverv now and then, and girl’s dresses "are all the for occasional trimming.— Children without chastisement arc fields without ploughing. The very best colts want breaking in. Not that we like severity; cruel mo!ners, aud those who are always ■ rioggTfig and finding, ought/ to be flogged themselves. There ; is reason in all things, as! the madman said when he cut off his nose. Good mothers are very dear to their children. There’s no mother ' in the world like ones ownmoth'er. My friend Sanders, from Glasgow, says, “The mither’s breath is aye sweet.” Every woman is a hand some woman to her own son.— That man is well worth hanging who does not love his mother.— When good women lead their little ones to tiie Savior, the Lord Jcsns blesses not only the little children, but their mothers as well. Happy are they among women who see their sons and daughters walking in the truth. He who thinks ii is easy to bring up a family never had one of his own. A mother who trains her children aright had need be wiser than Solomon, for his son turned out a fool. Some children are perverse from their infancy. None are born perfect, but some have a double share of imperfections.— Do what yon will with such chil dren, they don’t improve. Wash a dog, comb a dog, still he is but a dog; trouble seems thrown away on some children. Such cases arc meant to drive to God, for he can turn blackamoors white. and cleanse ont the leopard’s spots. It is clear that whatever faults our children have, we are their parents, and we cannot find fault of the stock they came of. Wild gesse do not lay tame eirgs. That which is born of a hen will be sure to scratch in the dust. The child of a cat will hunt after mice.— Every creature follows its kind. If we are black, we cannot blame our offspiing if they are dark. Let ns do our best with them, and pray the Mighty Lord to put his hand to the work. Children of praver will grow up to be children of "praise; mothers who have wept before God for their sons, will sing a new song over’them. Some colts often break the halt ter, and yet become quiet in har ness. God can make those new whom we cannot mend; therefore, never let mothers despair of their children as long as they live. Are they away from you across the sea? Remember, the Lord is there ,as well as here. Prodigals may i wander, but they are never out of bight ot the great Father, even though they may be a “great wav Gff.’’ Lei mothers laßor to make home the happpicsf place in the world. If ti’ey are always haggling and grumbling will lose their hold of theii children, and rhe bovs will be tempted to spend their eve nings away from home. Home is the best place for boys and men, and a good mother is the soul of home. The smile of a mother’s face has led many into the right path —the fear of bringing a tear into her eye has called off many a man fronj evil ways. The boy may have a heart of iron, but his moth er can ho d him like a magnet.— Jhc devil can reckon no man to be lost so long as he has a good mother alive. O, woman, great is thy power ! See to it that it lie used for Him who thought of his mother even in the agonies of death. A Beautiful Incident. A poor Arab travelling in the desert met with a spring of clear, sweet, sparkling water. L'scd as he was only to brackish wells, such water as this appeared to his sim ple mind worthy of a monarch, and filling his leathern bottle from the spring, he determined to go and present it to the caliph himself! The poor man traveled^a long way before he reached the presence of his sovereign and laid his hum ble offering at his feet. The ca liph did not despise the little gift, brought to him with so much troubs le. He ordered some of the water to be poured into a cup, drank it and thanking the Arab with a smile, ordered him to be presented ed with a reward. The courtiers around pressed forward, eager to taste of the wonderful water; but, to the surprise of all, the caliph forbade them to touch a single ZD drop. After the poor Arab had quitted the royal presence with a light and joyful heart, the caliph turned to his courtiers and thus explained his conduct: “During the travels of the Ara!>,” said he, “the water in : his leal hem botlle became impure and distasteful. But it was an off- 1 ering of love, and as such I have 1 received it with pleasure. But I other to partake of it, ho v-ould > not have concealed his disgust: and therefore I forbade you to touch the draught, lest the heart of the 'poor man should have been wound ed.” Anecdotes of Ministers. The anecdote, told at the expense ; of the Bishop of England, that 1 when he sent around to all the churches in his bishopric a circular of questions to be answered, one of which was: “Has the carriage of ' the clergyman been consistent?” and the reply from one church be- 1 ing, “Our minister does not keep 1 a carriage,” repeats itself in the £ answer, some years since, of an old 1 man in upper Georgia to a Metho- ‘ dist minister. During a revival at ( which the old man had manifested 1 great interest for many days the good man .of Gxl devoutly ap- " proached him with the inquiry:— “How do yon feel, my friend? Any 1 change yet?” “Change, change, did you say?” answered this simple 1 old man, though ever ready with an eye to ’business, putting his hand at the same time in his pock- ‘ et for the wallet. “Y’a-as. I al ways carries a litttle change about me, 1 likes it so well. How much do it take to put me through?”— For this practical turn of the busi ness the preacher was not wholly i prepared, and wc regret to say that poor old man remains to this day • without being “put clean through.’ Correspondence Brunswick Adver tiser.

While in Adairsville recently I • saw something that Mi nek me n< very unusal and strange. Quito 5 a party of gentlemen were sit-ing . around the stove in Bib!) &El red’s : store when a little boy about live ; years old entered. He was a quiet looking little fellow and there wn- I a peculiar expre-sion on his face. “Can't you preach for us, . ClauH” asked one the party. It seemed that he was used to that and witout any hesitation he placed a chair for a pulpit, took two little books that were handed him and puljed off his hat for business. 80-< fore saying a word he krr-lt by his chair in secret prayer for.a mo ment. He then arose ;.nd after looking carefully through one of the little Looks he announced the number of his hymn, gave it out in language that was lisping and hard to understand, and thousand it thruogh all alone. Hu then knelt again by his chair and prayed— this time aloud—but in words that I no one could understand. Ho took < a text from one of his books, and < sot eight or ten minutes lie preach ed with much earnestness and spirit. The little audience was profoundly quiet and not a smile flitted over any face, To me it was a peculiarly solemn scene.— There was a strange light in the little fellow’s eyes and a peculiar glow on his face as he preached.— He was scarcely as high as the chair behind which he stood, and yet he was composed and easy in his manner. Is it there watching him and wondering what mys terious power was moving him.— His child voice rang out in away that stilled the crowd of loafers into a solemn and almost painful silence. We could not catch the meaning of his baby words that were so broken and lisping, but we could see the flash of his black eyes and feel the power of his presence. When his sermon was done he sang a song, took up a collection (receipts 15 cents) announced ser vice for the evening and wcnj; out as quietly as he came. I '.earned the scene was no uncommon one, and mat g. n;nP tj in(>s moved Ins audience to Bee Culture. For The Carroll County Times. It has been some time since 1 gave my experience on bees and bee culture. Os late I have heard great complaint of the black bee dying, or the moth worm killing them. Now do you know why the worm or the bee moth kills out bees? It is simply because the queen dies or becomes sterile, then brood rearing ceases and the conse quence is the hive becomes too thinly populated to defend them selves against the Ico moth. Now the only remedy for this is to get a hive of pure Italian bees from me or some other person having them, then you will have no trouble. I have a line chance of Italian bees, so call on me and be supplied with bees that will protect themselves against the bee moth. Ido not have any loss in my apiary with the pure Italian bee, in movable frame hives. So call and get your bees and instructions how to man age them for profit and pleasure. II M Williams, M. D.
