Many of the young people at the j present time engage in this tiling we j call flirting, and especially do the J young men engage in this kind of ; deception. But young man where is the credit and the honor you find in it ? Can you, or are you prepared to answer? Does it add to your name the bright star of fame and make you your country’s pride? Docs it give you honors, and crown you with greatness, and with the praise of commendation ? 1 am of the opinion, and all true hearted people will bear me out in the assertion, that the man who de liberately and boldly steals the affec tions of a true and noble hearted girl ; who makes her believo that he is by his earnest appeals, and by his constant attention, that she is sharing full measure of his love, is meaner than that man who socks to rob his neighbor, his best friend, at the dark hour of midnight. And I will right here add that the princi ple characterized in ono is not better than the principle characterized in the other. Why then young man do u thing that will sweep sorrow like ti tempest down over a heart of truth and sincerity? Away with these make believes. 1 mean these pretty sweet silvery tongued flirt orators. How mean to monopolize the company, tne time and the atten tion of a true young lady for months without any intention of matrimony. You absent her from society, forbid her receiving the company of noble and worthy young men, who would crown her future-with joy and hap piness. O yes! you make her be lieve that you are perfection, and that nothing but purity exist in } T our heart. Young man will you think over this subject earnestly and do as your conscience directs? Do not sorrow the heart of the innocent I girl; let your heart be true to your I self, and above all, true to the girl whose love you sock to win. Jf there is any thing that should be ap preciated more than another it is certainly a true and sr.Yeeke heart, 'and especially if it is possessed by a noble and worthy young lady. On the other hand of there is any thing that is dishonorable and mean, it is certainly the motive of that boy or that man who woos the true affec tions of some poor innocent girl, without giving to her in return that love she expects to share. Yes it is mean in you to declare to her your sincerity which proves in the end to be false. The truth is not in your heart and you know it; there is a mean principle in there which you dare not let be known, but x’ou will not rest satisfied until she gives to you that love which knows nothing but to honor and to trust you. Yes she often sits in silonce thinking of you when all else is forgotten, she wishes you well, and feels that your interest is her interest, and hopes with a greater interest that every thing would conduce to your happi noss, and that success would crown you in whatever persuit you are en gaged. She contemplates with pleas ure her anticipated happy future ; not a thought comes telling her that you are false, and that a selfish mo tive is in your heart. She gives to you a precious heart, not a heart fil led with deception, but a heart filled with truth, love, sincerity, honor, and nobility. Not only the mark of sincerity which she wares upon her face, many times betrays her love to you, but her actions which speak with greater power than language can express, betrays her. But alas ! xvhen your heart shall have been fully revealed to her. she finds that it is falso and that the truth is not in you; but it is too late, her fondest hopes are blighted. She has allow ed her affections to go beyond her control, and she must now wait till time heals it possible her broken heart. llow sad must be that girl whose affections tor months have been bestowed upon that young man who is so ungrateful and so untrue as to make her heart a play thing, and to mar her sweetest pleasures. Young man in whatever pursuit you may engage let your dealings with woman be frank, siucere. noble and kind. But instead of cheerishing iu the bosom this noble principle, many of you go to the innocent girl with apparent truths, and seeing honesty written upon your faces, love and | affection in your coon tar. a nee. , 'Words fall from your lips upon the attentive ear which it is almost as ' impossible for her to doubt as it is to : doubt your existence. But when the l truth is known of you. your heart is i black with deceit, Yes many of | you are now engaged in flirting with : >ome true hearted girl : and with : some it is but a short time siucelliev ; have broken that poor girl's heart. Not only has this been done in Monroe county, but Pike furnishes j one whose lamb like face is the piet ! are of innocence, but how sad to .-ay sROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, , that his and other faces do not al- I ways tell the true story of tho heart, i Young ladies let me right hero ask you to take warning, and whatever you do, do not deal with peddlers, I tinckers and taylors. Young man it you are engaged in , flirting let me beg you to stop where j you are, and ask for forgiveness ; for j that poor girl to whom your pre tended affections are being given should not be made to mourn the af fections which she has in vain given you. She teds how true she is to you, but she knows not your heart. She is the best friend you have on earth, and feels that tho same spirit exist in your heart towards her. She loves }"ou more than all the world besides and cheerishes in her bosom the hope of a long and happy life with you, but you are her enemy; you seek to mar her pleasure and to destroy her happiness. Dishonesty is in your heart, and your whole motive is to accomplish that which is ignoble and unworthy a true man. Hope. DON’T EAT TOO MUCH. How One Halt of the People in the World Kill Themselves. A great many persons argue that if they have a crave it proves that what they crave would be beneficial to them, and men who eat immoder erntely will eooly tell you that they eat to satisfy their hunger, while re ally they are merely the victims ol’a perverted or diseased taste —are m fact the slaves to a habit. If the tastes could be kept pure and under graded it would bean efficient guide. But how few men carry with them to manhood the unvitiated tastes of childhood ! Everywhere error seems to prevail over truth and man mis takes the craving unhealthy appo tites for a God-implanted instinct. A story is told of a farmer in Lon isana who was seen cutting down his fruit trees, and when questioned as to the reason, answered that he did it to keep his children from poison ing thcmselve. lie said that his doctor told him that his children “had better keep from fruit and take their morning drams and plenty of quinine, with an occa sional dose of calomel. ,T ~ 4ff_thj s in stance, the faint fluttering of an Tp petite, which was iu accordance with nature’s healthful code, wero crushed out, and a desire for unnatural drugs implanted in their stead. We smiie at such an exhibition of folly and ig norance, but in spite of our vaunted knowledge, many educated people act as foolish* as did this poor Louisi ana farmer. Sir Henry Thompson, in the Nine teenth Century, says that though, with few exceptions, men and women are healthier and stronger physical ly intellectually and morrally, with out alcholic drinks than with them, yet he has been for some years past compelled by facts which are con* stantly coming before him. to accept the conclusion that more mischief in the form of actual diease, of impaired vigor, and of shortened life accrues to civilized men from erroneus hab its in eating than from the habitual use of alcbohololie drinks, consider alde as be knows the evil of that to be. He believes that more than one half of the disease that embitters the middle and latter half of life among the middle and upper classes is due to avoidable errors in diet. The supject of diet and relation to age and activity is discussed in an excellent article in “Good Housekeep ing” for August and the evils of ov er-feeding ore forcibly presented, in harmony with tlie views of Sir Hen ry Thompson. The writer says : “During the first year of life moth er’s milk is the best form of food. After that time other kinds of food, mostly well cooked wheaten flour in, various shapes, begin to bo added to the milk, which long continues to be the staple source of nourishment to the young animal. Eggs, a still more concentrated form of similar food, follow, and ultimately the die tary is enlarged by additions of va rious kinds. “A young man, in the fullness of health, and habituated to daily ac tive life in the open air. may, under the stimulous of ap]>etite and enjo}- ment in gratifying it, often largely exceed both in quantity and variety of food what is necessary to supply all the demands of the system, with out paying a very exorbitant price for the indulgence. When a certain amount had been stored up the ca pacity for storage varying greatly in different persons an undesirable balance remains against the feeder, and in younger people is mostly rec tified by a "billions attack.” through the agency of which a few hours of vomiting and misery square the ac count. Then the same process of overfeeding rc-eommeuces nntil the recurring attack again appears and clears the system. On the other hand if a man is inactive, takes lit tle exercise, spends most of his time in close, warm air, shaping his diet nevertheless on a too liberal scheme, the balance of unexpended nutri ment soous tell more or less heavily against him and must be offset in some form or another.” After the first form of life is passed instead of by recurring attacks of illness, the superfluous material which is taken into the system is stored in the form of fat on the ex ternal surface of the body, or packed among the internal organs, except in some constitutions which are incapa ble of storing fat. Meitner heart or lungs can act very healthiy when oppiesse 1 by this gathering fat, and gout or rhumatism or some other form of disease warns the inordinate feeder that the time of reckoning has come. If we would prescribe health MORNING, SEPTEMB when the irrepressible, radiant vigor of youth has passed away it is ncces -arv to see to it that our income of food is proportionate to our expendi ture of energy. Some men endeav or t Keep the balance by dumb boll exorcise, by athletic or pedestrian fesu-T*r Turkish baths, or in some otiie: way, but the time comes when none of itese things can restore to the syn.ua that strength which has been , f -t rtaxed by overfeediug. As age advances less nutriment is re quire j. as the power to dispose of nutri.ue: t diminises. Sir Henrv Ton ninutains that the dentist is an fit in maintaining tho man of ad . ed age in his career as a flesh The man whose iraper het induce him to prefer light er unYy.uUir foods during tho clos ing period of his life preserves his health .better than he whose artificial inaehiiH; enables him to eat us much solid tin.nl as he did in his vigorous youth. *- Nme out of ten persons who suf fer fr i indigestion are not the sub jects of: ny disease whatever, they are only on the right road to disease. If they would eat as they should— that is, in moderation, their suffer ing would cease. The light feeder knows none of these annoyances. His palate is sensitive to tho mildest impression of pleasure, and lie is in disposed to gross or ovorpowerful ones. After the meal, when the in ordinate feeder is heavy and sullen, sunk in slumberous inactivity and discomfort, the man of moderate ap petite finds his whit fresher, his tem per more cheerful; he is ready to enjoy a fireside talk an J the gentle friction of fireside fancies, and those amenities of life which arc sealed to the heavy feeder, reason of the sluggishness and stupidi ty wbiclfc-fhe brings upon him self. K ♦ e FREE PASSES. The press ol the state is speaking out against the evil of free pass. The following deliverance from the Ma rietta Journal is ono of the best we have seen : The Georgia legislature on Mon day consumed the’ day mostly in dis cussing the “free pass" system. The bill made ittunlawful for menliers of the general assembly or judical offi cers to receive or any railroad to grant them free passes. The bill was defeated bj* a vote of 24 to 75. The members will continue to ride on free passes and draw their mile age fr<iiTr rlrri-Hrjffe treasury. This free pass system ii asTjeerntlT tiggrir-- vating source*of delay iu transacting the business of the legislature, caus ing absenteeism to such an extent on Saturday And Mondays that a quo r.uiq ea dY hardly b<j£n.ti is no Way to correct the abuse—the legislators have the matter in their power and they are going to use it. This legislature has been a regular farce in enacting or doing anything in the interest of the tax. payers of Georgia. Not a single bill or meas ure so far has been passed that will redound to the good, happiness or prosperity of the people. The mem bers of the malarial districts of lower Georgia regard the Georgia legisla ture as a great “summer resort” con venience iu enabling them to recre ate in North Georgia at the expense of the tax payers, and consequently the sessions, in place of biennial, are made annual and prolonged through the hot months until cool weather enables them to return home to their miasmatic regions. Free passes aid them to a large extent to .spend their Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays; three days iu the week, at the differ ent places of resort adjacent to At lanta. Tne berlesque still coutnues, fatiguing indignation. “Dixie.”—The September number of this new and elegant Southern periodical will contain a sensational article on the “Negro Question in the South” by the Rev. R. W. Mem rainger, of Charleston, S. C. He touches up George W. Cable, gives Bishop Dudley a rap over the knuck les and refers to the recent troubles over the negro in the Episcopal Church of South Carolina, lie de fines the past and present status of tho negro and predicts what the fu ture will be. This article will be the literary sensation of tho month. lion. Samuel J. Randall, of Penn sylvania, contributes an able article on the Tariff, to tho same numbei, and Col. I. W. Avey concludes his valuable papers on “The Natural Resources of Georgia.” The second paper on the “Forests of Dixie” by Charles IT. Wells and Clement Ma son's illustrated “Bits of Virginia Scenery will be of treneral interest. Paul Hamilton Hayne, “the Modern Horace,” will give a poem which the publishers present in fke-smile of the author's handwritting, thus giving each purchaser of Dixie a valuable souvenir of “oar greatest Southern poet.’ Chas. W. II übner contributes an exquisite poem,“Warand Peace.” Rev. Dr. I. S. Hopkins, President of Emory College, writes very enter tainingly upon the necessity of technical training in connection wilh higher education. Ills article will be widely read.

Brown, President of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The usuai De partments will be crisp and bright. Copies of Dixie can be obtained from any newsdealer or mat’ be ordered direct from the publishers. The price is twenty cents single number, or a year. No sample copies will be sent out free.

ER 15.1885. SAM JONES IN MONTEAGLE. Rev. Sum Jones, of Georgia, deliv ered one of his characteristic ser mons to a largo congregation at Munteagle. last Sunday, tho follow | ing is a synopsis of it: He road for his text throe verses , of the Hist. Paslin: “Trust in tho Lord and do good. So shalt thou dwell in the land and thou shalt be fed. Denigh thyself in the Lord, and Ho will give thee desire of thy heart.’ If we notice theso promises we shall see that each has such a con dition. God says if you’ll do so and so, L’ll do so and so. He does noth ing we can do for ourselves. I believe in a doing religion. I have tailed to find a single instance in tho Bible where anything is said at tho final judgment of the blood and the atonement. For I was an hungered and ye gave mo meat, naked and yo clothed mo.” Tho promises are made to those who do His holly will. I would dislike for my children to be continually coming to me and saying, “Papa I love you.” Rather would 1 tell them to so live that peo ple would see iu them tho evidence oi good raising. I’m sorry for the man who has to say everytime he goes into his homo. “Wife, 1 love you.” God works for every man just in proportion as he can get hold ol his heart. I used to think lie had to have all. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Ive known a great many men who have largo possessions, who acted like they were not at home down here. They were always restless. A great mauy men believe everything in the Bible and do noth ing. i have a poor opinion of Bob In gersoll because he believes nothing; but you convert him and lie will do his whole duty. Ono man believes in family praj*ers, but never prays. Another says yes, ‘'yes, 1 believe in foreign missions,” but never gives anything. 1 like the man who doesn’t say much. 1 go to him and say, “do yoa believe in family pray er?” He says, “go ask my wife;” and I go to her and ask, “does your husband believe in family prayer?” She says, “well if he doesn’t, he is a strange man to me, lor he holdefami ly prayer daily.” A great many Christians stand in the attitude of saying to the Lord, “Lord, let a blessing come !” They are ready to receive anything and everything. They are continually jDi’ayt&g tor iTTore Hfcith &r.<i for more grace. Why, they have been up to their eyes in grace all their lives. Tney want more faith. Do you know the apostles prayed for an in crease in iaith, and the Lord rebuk es*! iLfuM for it saying: have faith even as a mustard seed,” etc. I heard a preacher say the other day he was ashamed of himself, lie said lie had slept in the snow out of doors for Stonewall Jackson, but be had never made anything like such a sacrifice for the Lord. I despise this wash tub faith, always bottom side up, ready to catch the faith they can get. If you want more fkilh use what you’ve got. I’d as soon pray for more muscle iu the right arm. If 1 tie it up by* my side for six months it won’t lift a pound, but if 1 go and lift a heavy' sledge ham mer and keep using it, it becomes powerful. I’ve a sorter of contempt for a fellow who is always whining around the Lord asking Him to help him believe the Bible. The Lord says use what faith you have. We don’t wan’t any more religion—l don’t say Christianity, but religion. We’ve got enough of one sort. Trust in tho Lord and do good. Lit tle things I have done have given ine the greatest pleasure. Going along the road I saw a poor old dar key, and I stopped and put a half dollar in her hand—didn’t throw 7 it down in the road, and say, “there, take it,” because she was nearly 7 blind, and it did my heart good to hear her her say, “O, Lord, bless dat man ; he must be de best man in de world.” Only two things bother me—Oh, God, ara I trusting Thee, oh, God, am 1 doing my duty. There isn’t much promise to any man who says he believes a thing and doesn’t do as he says he believes. A man is getting in a dangerous condition when he does wrong in the day and then goes home and sleeps soundly all night.” I have spent days with men worth a million dollars and more, and have said to myself, I wouldn’t be in your fix for a million dollars. 1 said to a banker tho other day, “You must be very tired handling so much money daily when you don’t lovo it. It must be a great cross to you. “Oh,” said he, “I never had enough religion not to lovo money.” It I had a brother or sister who had anything they liked hotter than me, 1 would be ashamed of them. I want to live in a world where nobody is grabbing and grasping every thing. A man said to me, “Jones, I don’t believe in your agra grian talk.” “Well.” said I, “if all the money was divided out equally, you rich fellows would have it all back in twelve months.” Some want to do a great deal for the Lord's poor. Well, I would like to do a little for the devil’s poor. Let the Lord's poor go on to heaven a little head of time. A man that gets happy this side of doing good is a poor stick. A man said to me, “Jones, I have been trying to get a blessing all this meeting, so I could enjoy it.” 1 said to that fellow, “you’ll never get it.” lie went there to get a blessing just like any oi l red nosed toper goes to a bar room to get a drink to make him feel good. 1 have received the greatest bles sing doing good at a sacrifice of my own feelings. 1 wish we bad Christly religion enough to get up one day and just NUMBER 34 do all the good wo could that oue day. Mr. Joues said he didn’t want bis audience to get offended at what he said. It may be that the reason I am more account than you, is because I will say things that you wou’t. 1 may say thiugs that will shock your “eondignity” and urbanity. \\ hen you see me coming with a grdbbing-boe, if you “ain’t a grub don’t move. 1 like a joyous, happy Christianity. One mau told mo one thing about Monteagle, everybody here is in a good humor. A preacher who gets up and says, “W-o-e is me, if 1 preach not tne gospel,” ain’t fit to preach. I preach because 1 love it. 1 would rather preach tlmu eat sugar. I don’t like levity in church. You never heard mo say anything that you laughed at that if you took it home and cracked it you found a hornet in it. - MAKING IT ATTRACTIVE. Ornamentation of the Farm a Source of Revenue in Dollars and Cents. Philadelphia Press. That ornament does not pay is a common notion among farmers, and it is a correct one if tho result is measured by immediate return of dollars and cents. If a man regards an increase in the value of his real estate as profit, howover, there are few outlays which wtll bring such re turns as judicious ornamenting. It is fully as important to “put the best side out” in transfers of real estate as in transfers of horses or fruits. Lmhellishment is worth more in ren dering a farm attractive than is a fine harness iu showing off a horse, from the fact that tho embellishment is part and pared of the farm itself. Everyone lias observed the superior readiness with which tastily orna mented farms sell. The differences in market value between such farms and similar ones which posess no or naments often amount to twenty-five or oven fitly per cent of what may be termed the intrinsic values. Even if one never expocts to sell his farm, judicious embellishment is a source of profit as an advertisement of the owner and his crops. Many of the most successful fruit growers and stockmen understand this fact. Ad vertising is as profitable in farming as in an} 7 other pursuits, and farmers ought to know it. A beautiful place at once attracks notice; people become interested in it. Fruit from such a place is usually more prized than from shiftiesc farms. The idea that the si in pie planting of treoe and shrubs comprises tho whole of rural embellishment is another common fallacy 7 . The effective planting of home abounds requires a higher art than siffipTe good taste. 7 !JanTisc?ipe gardening is as truly a fine art as in painting or architecture. Few peo ple have a genius for this work, and it is not to be expected that every farmer will lay out bis grounds in the best taste. But he should realize the fact that plan ting rdquirestbought study, and he should know that and haphazard planting trees in his door yard is not necessarily ornamental or useful. To give full instruction on this art would be to write a treatise on landscape art. It will suitice to name some common errors. Building too near the road is the first and worst. There is too much of a disposition to “save land” for corn and potatoes. This economy is oflcri short-sighted. It is like stor ing the cobb and throwing away the corn. A farm house cannot present a good appearance unless it is four or five rods or more back from the road. Such a situation is also a matter of great convenience in escaping dust, and noise, and publicity. The disposition to make every thing straight is almost universal. Straight walks and drives and straight rows of trees are never seen in nature, and they 7 are entirely out of place in tho farmers yard. This formal or geometric style, demands close attention to all its details. Tho walks, drives, lawns, trees and build ings must always be in the most perfect order. A neglected corner or ill-shaped tree at once jars with all its surroundings. In the natural or informal stile, however, irregular itiesoflen heighten the effect. Much less labor and expense are required to keep all its parts in harmony. Why Farmers Fail. They will not make compost. They breed to and from scrubs. They do not curry their horses. They have no shelter for stock. They put off greasing the wagon. They are wedded to old methods. They give no attention to details. They have no method or system. They see no good in anew thing. They let their fowls roost in trees. They weigh and measure stingily. They leave their plow in the field. They hang their harness in the dust. They take no pleasure in their work. They never use paint on the farm. They prop tho barn door with a rail. They milk the cows late in the day. They starve the calf and milk the cow. They think small things not im portant. They let their gates sag and fall down. They do not keep up with im provements. They don’t know the best is the cheapest. They do not read tho best books and newspapers. They think the buyer of a success ful neighbor’s stock at good prices is a fool, and the seller very “lucky.” Advices state that there was frost in various parts of Michigon Septem ber 2.
