Nt,{grocé from Texas, Louisana and

tacle of their return after an unhap
py and unsuccessful struggle for a
foothold among strangers is an in
structive commentary: upon Mr.
Blaine’s malignant speech at Augus

in which hLe sought te stir up again

the colored people of the South.” -
A SENSE OF HONOR.
There is little doubt that the thing
which most needs to be preached to
this generation of Americans, by
ministers of the Gospely by botl ‘cler
ical and lay instructors of the youth,
by all who have public influence or
private authority, is a sense of honor.
It must be shown and insisted upon
that every position in life where one
person is employed by another to do
a certain work imposes an obligation
to tulfill the duties of the place with
an honorable and disinterested re
‘gard for the interests of the employer.
It must be shown that this view of
employment applies to the cook, the
errand-boy, the cashier, the legisla
tor, the Governor, the President.
This is a trite and apparently simple
and perhaps somewhat stupid view of
the opportunities of a “‘smart” and
ambitious young American of our
day, but unless this commonplace
view of responsibility is laid hold of
our country we will not say that our
society will go to pieces, but we will
say that our calamities will inerease
and that we will get into troubles and
not soon out of them, compared with
which the dangers and distresses of
the past will seem almost insignifi
cant.
T e P i e
: KISS ME GOOD-BYE.
This is a phrase heard in the hall
way of many a home as the man of
the house is hurrying away to ex
change daily labor for daily bread in
the marts of commerce.
Sometimes it is the wife who says
it, sometimes infant lips prattle thel
caressing words, holding up a sweet
flower face, for the kiss that is its
warm sunshine of life, and the stmhg‘
man waits a moment to clasp his
treasure and is gone; and all day hc%
wonders at the peace in his heart; at
the nerve with which he meets busi
ness losses and bears business erosses.
The wite’s kiss did it, the baby’s kiss
did it ; he realizes that it is not wealth
or position or luck that makes our
happiness, but the influence we bear
within us from the presence of those
we love! ;
Kiss me good bye! Oh, lips that
have said it for the last time, would
you ever ask again in those pleading
tones for the kiss so tardily given?
Would we not remember the relation
the flower bears to the universe is as
carefully provided for as that of the
brightest star; that the little action
of a loving heart goes side by side
with the deed of heroic worth; that
love is the dew of life; that the part
ing of a day may be the parting of a 4
lifetime,
Make the air voeal with kisses.
Many tears have been shed over un
kissed kisses, over those “dear as re
membered kisses after death,” but
the time to kiss is at the present.
Kiss your children, man of husiness,
before you leave home kiss the moth
er of your children, and that dear old
mother who sits in the chair by the
window—no matter if her cheek is
wrinkled, her heart is young, and go
about your day’s work with a “Thank
God” in your soul that you have
some one at home to kiss.
A MEAN MAN.
Sometimes I wonder what a mc:ml
man thinks about when he goes to
bed, says Burdette in the Hawkeye.
When he turns out the light and lies
down. When the darkness closes in
about him and he is alone, and he is
compelled to be honest with himself,
And not a bright thought, not a gen
erous impulse, not a manly act, not a
word of blessing, not a grateful look,
comes to bless him again. Not a
penny dropped into the palm of pov
erty, nor the balm of a loving word
dropped into an aching beart ; nosun
beam of encouragement cast upon a
struggling life ; the strong hand of
fellowship reached out to help some
fallen man to his feet—when none of
these things come 10 him as the “God
bless you’ of the departed day, how
he must hate himself. How he must
try to roll away from himself and
sleep on the other side of the bed.
When the only victory he ean think
of is some mean victory, in which he
has wronged a neighbor. Neo wonder
he sneers when he tries to smile.
How pure and fair and good all the
rest of the world must look to him,
and how cheerless and dreary and
dusty his own path .must appear.
‘Why, even one lone, isolated act of
meanness is enough to seatter crumbs
in the bed of the average and ordi
‘nary man and what must be the feel
ings of a man whose whole life is giv
en up to mean acts? When there is
so much suflering and heartache and
misery in the world anyhow, why
should you add one pound of wicked
‘ness or sadness to the general bur
den? Don’t be mean, my boy. Suf
fer injustice a thousand times rather
ltlmn commit it once. - . bl
SENATORS GARLAND AND BUTLER.
Senator Garland is an incorrigible
mischief-maker, and his fun is not
confined to the seclusion of the cloak
rooms. Butler, of South Carolina is
another mad wag in the Senate, and
he and Garland are constantly play
ing jokes, more or less outrageous, on
each other. Not long ago Garland
hit Butler pretty hard—that is to say
he gota very good one on him; and
Butler “laid for the Senator from
Arkansas.,” Knowing Garland’s
fondness for candy he procured some
caramels and also some cubes of
brown soap; which, when wrapped in
thin tissure paper, precisely resem
bled, to the eye, the caramels! But
ler knew that if he tried to put the
cubes of soap off on Garland he would
fail, as the latter was of course on the
alert so far as he was concerned. So
Vorhees of Indiana, who sits next to
Garland, chosen for the confederate.
Said Butler to Vorhees, “Here are
two genuine caramels—these others
are cubes of soap. Go to your seat,
lay the soap cubes on your desk, eat
the genuine caramals, put your trust
in Providence, and say nothing.”
Vorhees did as he was told. Gar
land observed the cubes on the desk,
and saw that Vorhees was eating
something with an evident relish.
“Hello!” said Garland, “what are
you eating?” “I've got a cold, and
I’'m eating some candy,” replied Vor
hees, very much absorbed in some
papers in his hands. Garland looked
at the counterfeits wistfully for a mo
ment. “Hum,” he said finally, as he
picked one up, “I’ve got something
of a cold myself,” and he popped the
piece of soap into his mouth. There
was a crunching of his jaws—he saw
thathe was caught. Vorhees watched
him out of the tail of his eye, asdid a
dozen others of the old boys sitting
around. Garland knew he was un
der fire ; but he was determined not
to flinch. After chewing his soap
for a moment he looked up at Vor
hees with the inimitable air of inno
cent earnestness that is characteris
tic of him, and softly asked: “Do
you eat many of these things when
you have a cold?” As Garland kept
on chewing an almost imperceptible
strip of lather formed on his lips,
Vorhees became alarmed and went to
Butler: “The fellow is actually eat
ing that stuff! Why, it will kill him,
won’tit?’ “Noo-0,” drawled But
ler, “I don’t reckon anything will
kill that man.” Garland was game.
He finished his soap, and no man
could say that he looked as if he
didn’t enjoy it.
A TOTAL ABSTAINER. ~
[f I drink what is ecalled moderate
ly, I may easily be led, like many
others, to drink to excess; but if I
drink none at all there cannot be the
least possible danger.
If I drink very little [ shall have
little to give up, and shall find the
change so much ecasier to make.
If I take a little, others who fol
low my example, being weaker, or
not so careful as myself may be led
to drunkenness; but if I entirely ab
stain, I set an example which is safe
tor everybody to follow.
If T drink but a little and keep a
small stock for my friends in the way
of hospitality, it will cost a consider
able sum of money ; but abstinence is
a cheaper system, and tends to pro
mote economy in all over whom I
may exercise influence.
If I drink intoxicating liquor at all,
I virtually praise the liguor; but if I
abstain, | raise a protest against it.
If 1 am ever so moderate, [ am
identified with the drinking party and
the drinking system ; but if I abstain,
I connect mysell with those who are
working to save the country from its
greatest foe.
If I take my glass, I cannot hearti
ly reprove the drunkard nor recom
mend my own example to him with
‘effect ; but if I am a teetotaler, T can
ido so with confidence and a hope of
Success?
If 1 take but a little, I am one re
moved from perfeet sobriety 5 but if 1
take nothing stronger than water,
milk, or tea, 1 shall always be per
fectiy sober.
For these reasons I have made up
my mind to be a total abstainer.—
Joseph Liversey, Ireland.

A WILD MAN,
A veritable wild man is terroriz
ing the good citizens of ITigh Point in
Walker county, Ga. He was first
discovered about one mile be
yond Dr. Park’s residence, but hag
sinee taken up his abode in the rav
ines and cliffs near High Point, on
Lookout mountain. The man is very
uncouth in appearance, his face be
ing covered with a heavy growth of
shert, black heard and his tangled,
unkempt hair hangs in wild profus
ion about his neck and shoulders.
He wears a tattered overcoat and
pants, goes barefooted and hatless.
The sight of any human seems to in
spire him with terror and fright, and
he bounds away into the brush and
thicjkets uttering the most piercing
shrieks and cries, as if in distress.

MARRIED IN THREE COUNTIES.
The following item, dated Dalton,
Ga., January 24, is going the rounds
of the press: “Edward Pickens and
Miss Jennie Allen eloped last night,
and applied to Rev. Silas Jasper to
marry them. As they had no li
cense, and the bride was clearly un
der age, the preacher’s ingenuity
served him to make his liability for
violating the marriage difficult ot
proof. They went to a point where
the counties of Gilmer, Gordon and
Murray join and with each party
standing in a different county, and
the preacher astraddle of a county
line, the ceremony was performed.
The question now is, which county
has jurisdiction of the case 77

Viek's Froran Guine.—With win
ter still triumphant, there is a cer
tain mockery in the sudden appeard
ance of one and another seed cata
logue. “Vick’s Floral Guide” leads
the van, and as usual, needs no com
mendation, its solid merit having
long ago given it a firm place in pop
lar affection. The number contains
the usual lists of new seedlings in
both vegetables and flowers, and with
bright flower frontispiece, is quite
worthy a prominent place on the sit
ting-room table, wnile the illustrated
Magazine has long been a faithful
guide in all matters rclating to the
garden. Janes Vick, Rochester, N.
Y., will send the Floral Guide to any
address for 10 cents, which, if seeds
are afterwards purchased, may be de
ducted from the order.
Nose Eaten Off,
A young man named John Naves,
living near here, had an eating can
cer on his face, which had eaten
away his nose, part of his cheek, and
extended up nearly to his eye. It
was one of the most angry eating
sores that I had ever seen. His throat
finally became involved to such an
extent that he could only swallow
liquid food. After using all the rem
edies without checking the ravages or
the eating cancer, his general health
was broken down, he was confined to
his bed, and thought it to be only a
question of time about his death from
‘the cancer. 1 put him on Swift’s
Specific as a last resort, and he began
to improve with the first dose. His
general health improved at once, and
rapidly ; his throat got well; the
ravages of the cancer were soon stop
ped; it began to -heal around the
edges; and after a few months treat
ment with S. 8. S. he has gotten en
tirely well. IHis face is all healed
over with new flesh, and his gueml
health is excellent. Ilis vecovery is
wonderful. M. F. Crumrey, M. D.,
