Valdosta Times: Two tramps who
were journeying on together to that
haven where they might get a bite of
bread, last Thursday, halted for a
snooze on the railroad near Wall’s
mill. Tramp No. 1 dropped to sleep,
s 0 lie says, and tramp N 0.2 stole his
shoes from his feet und fled. Tramp
No 1 hobbled on barefooted to Val
dosta and found tramp No. 2 asleep in
or about the depot shed, aund he pro
ceeded at once, without formality,
warning or ceremony, to beat the
oftender with a large stick. It was a
rude awakening, and but for the
watchman at the depot the offending
tramp would have suffered severely
at the hards of his quondam friend
and fellow traveler. As it was he was
pretty bloody when watchman Eshe
commar ded peace in the name and by

HOME.
“Home, thy joys are passing lovely,
~ Joys no stranger hearts can tell!”
What a charm rests upon the en
dearing name—my home! consecra
ted by domestic love, that golden key
of human happiness. Without this,
home would be like a temple stripped
of its garlands. There a father wel
" comes with fond affection ; a brother’s
kind sympathies comfort in the hour
of distress, and assist in every trial;
there a loved mother first taught the
infant lips to lisp the name of Jesus!
and there loved sisters dwell, the
companions of earlier days. Truly
if there is aught that is lovely here
below, it is home—sweet home! It
is like the oasis of the desert. The
passing of our days may be painful ;
our path may be checkered by sor
row and care; unkindnessand frowns
may wither the joyousness of the
heart, efface the happy smiles from
the brow, and bedew life’s way with
tears; yet when memory hovers over
the past, there is no place in which it
so delights to linger as the loved
scenes of childhood’s home! It is
the polar star of existence. What
cheers the mariner, far away from
his native land, in a foreign port, or
tossed upon the bounding billows, as
he paces the deck at midnight alone ;
what thoughts fill his breast? He is
thinking of the loved ones far away at
his own happy cottage; in his mind’s
eye he sees the smiling group sented|
around the cheerful fireside; in im
agination he hears them uniting their
voices in singing the sweet songs
which he loves. Ie is anticipating
the hour when he shall return to his
native land, to greet those absent
ones sa dear to his heart.
Why rests that shade of sadness
upon the strangers brow, as he seats
himself amid the family circle? e
is surrounded by all the luxuries that
wealth can afford; happy faces gath
er around him and strive in vain to
win a smile. Ah! he is thinking of
his own sweet home; of the loved
ones assembled in his own cheerful
cot. Why those tears that steal
down the cheeks of that young girl ?
The gentle mother who hushed her
to sleep with a lullaby which a moth
er only can sing is no more, she has
gone to a fairer home above, and this,
the darling of her heart, is left to
thread the weary path of life a lonely,
homeless wanderer. Thus it is in
this changing world. The objects
most dear are snatched away. “Pass
ieg away” is engraved on all things
earthly, There isa home that has
no change. This home is found in
heaven. In the shadowy past there
is one sweet reminiscence which the
storms of life can never wither. The
recollection of home, sweet home.
In the visioned future, there is one
bright star whose lustre never fades;
it is the hope of home—a heavenly
‘home. 0. B G
WORK WINS,
Labor hasits just reward in success.
Fortune smiles upon the man who
thath brain and muscle woos her by
havigence, by hard, earnest untiring
Y2k, The fault of the age isa mad
e zavor to leap to heights that were
dnzsb to climb.” The fortune that |
‘s by chance, as sometimes it does, |
ready to take wings and fly away.
—Yap from indigency to wealth, from
‘l’.“d‘ulid poverty to luxury, is to court
'(.::::'oudy evening of life or rathera
ig,jurn to the original poverty
com which the beneficiary came.
The men who look back over a
tiresome journcy know how to make
the best use of the means they have
acquired. Industry generally teach
es us the lessons of economy that men
win permanent success.
The men who live by their wits may
sometimes exhibit an example of fi
nancial success that came without the
usual prerequisite of labor, but they
are few and the rule is, by many odds,
the other way.
The firm unyielding, persevering
man who works with might and main
is self-reliant and is more than apt to
ba honest and trustworthy. Heroes
are made of such men; all that is good
in our governmental machinery owes
its origin and development to the men
of work.
Young man consider. Fortune,
‘though not the greatest by far of
earthly blessings, is possibly to all
men. But be not deceived in the
way it is to be acquired. There is no
magic wand by which it can be made
to obey your word, or lift you to luxu
ry and independence, except industry.
Then young friend, we have but
the advice for you—go to work.

EDUCATED MECHANICS.
The successful and valuable me
chanic who is always in good demand
at good pay is he who thinks as well
as works. Seeing, feeling, and hear
ing are the three senses of all others
with which we are endowed. The
most important in aiding to a knowl
edge of our surroundings, and while
this is a truth that all admit, yet their
‘educatien is generally neglected un
til the young man starts out to learn
a trade, especially what is termed
mechanical trade, tor by mechanics
in this connection is intended to con
vey the idea of attempting to con
trive to put together, manufacture,
or change by mauipulation so that
even a woman who fashions a drcssi
out of the unfavored and plain mate
rial is just as much a mechanie, so far
as it goes, as the machinist who with
the rough, ungainly stone makes the
sparkling gem or the beautitul tool
from the sombre bit of iron ore. The
use of mechanical tools can not begin
‘too early in life ; it makes no differ
‘ence whether the pupil is to be a
‘practical mechanic or to follow some
other calling. There are a few ifany
vocations that do not demand for
success some practical knowledge of
mechanics. “The whittling Yankees”
‘probably owe much of their success
‘and undisputed position as inventors
and good mechanies to the habit of
using a pocket knife. A very promi
nent inventor and superior mechanie
recently remarked that the best ot
his taste as a mechanic was undoubt
edly given by the school-master of
his youth. This teacher was a car
penter and joiner, working at his
trade in summer and teaching in win
ter. It the boy did not own a foot
rule he made one for him out of a bit
of shingle, and so accurate was the
eye-measurement that he could mark
off the inches and fractions that a
square would fail to show any mis
takes. In those days this teacher
considered the foot rule and pocket
knife as indispensable as the slate,
hence he permitted his. pupils to
own them, and to measure dis
tances with the eye, subsequently
verifying by means of the rule.
Wind wheels and water wheels
were considered a part of the peda
gogue’s training, and the click-clack
of one or the other could beheard all
about the school-house and on the
borders of a brook in an adjoining
field. At this day and age we need
more carpenter schoolmasters. A
knowledge of mechanics and mechan
ical movements is of more useas well
as ornament in a business training
than an intimate knowledge of the
definite article or Greek verb. The
man who talks learnedly of languages
dead ere we were born may derive
satisfaction from hearing himself
talk, but the man whether clothed in
broadcloth or jeans, if he can explain
‘the mysteries of the unseen, isalways
a welcome guest in any society.
These remarks apply with all their
torce to females as well. What man
who lives would comparea well-cook
ed meal and tidy wife to a welcome
home by a slattern who asks him in
some foreign jargon, what he w:mts‘
for supper ? |

~ HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS.
~ Don’t worry.
Don’t overwork.
Don’t make the field too broad.
Be wary of dealings with unsuc
cessful men.
Make friends, but don’t encourage
favorites.
Keep down expenses, but don’t be
penurious.
Keep a high vitality—sleep well,
eat well, enjoy life.
Stick to your chosen pursuit, but
not to chosen methods.
Don’t tell what you are going to do
—till you have done it.
Enter your charges when the goods
are sold. Don’t wait.
Make plans for a short time ahead,
but don’t cast them in iron.
Be content with small beginnings
—and be sure and develop them.
Don’t take fresh risks to retrieve
your losses. Cut them off short.
Be cautious ; but when you make
a bargain make it quietly and boldly.
A regular system of sending out
bills and statements is more effective
than a spasmodic dunning.
Have a proper division of work,
and neither interfere nor permit in
terference with your employes.
It is better for your credit to post
pone payment squarely than to pre
tend to pay by giving a check dated
ahead.
Look after your “blotters” and all
books of original entry. In litiga
tion they are reliable evidence ; cop
| ies are not. ;

DISAGREEABLE CANDOR.
A man who never reminds his
friends of unwelcome facts or tells
them unpleasant truths is sure to be
liked; and, when a man of such a
turn comes to old age, he is almost
sure to be treated with respect. It
is true indeed that we should not
dissemble and flatter in company;
but a man may be very agreeable,
strictly consistent with truth and
sincerety, by a prudent silence where
he cannot concur, and a pleasant as
sent where he can. Now and then
you meet with a person so exactly
formed to please that he will gain up
on every one that hears or beholds
him; this disposition is not merely
the gift of nature, but frequently the
effect of much knowledge of the world,
and a command over the passions.
Frequently that which is called can
dor is merely malice. :

has no money; spending time nor mon
ey on indolent persons; prophesying
as to the extent of the cotton crop next
fall; putting offpaying your taxes un
til an executoin is issued; saying any
thing about our streets or sidewalks;
:wishing for something you kunow you
can’t have; the girls mourning for the
past leap year privileges; trying to do
a successful business without adver
tising; trying to get a conseientions
voter to go wrong when he feels that
the welfare of his county is at stake,
It is all vexation of spirit. Brace up,
and what you teel to be your duty, do
it without grumbling, for “sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof.”

A short time ago Mayor Bartlett,
ot San Francisco, received a letter in
quiring fora young German, supposed
to be living in that city, and announc
ing that a fortune of $30,000 was
awaiting him in Germany. The let
ter was published in the newspapers,
and in due course of time the young
heir appeared at the Mayor’s office
and was more than delichted at the
news of his good fortune. It is charg
ed now, however, that the letter was
written by the young man himself
with a view to causing a young lady
to whom he had been engaged in one
of the interior counties, and who had
Jilted him, to renew the engagement.

" Taking Care of the Body.
The Christian Index, the leading
organ of the Baptist Church in the
South, published in Atlanta, Ga., in
its issue of Dec. 4, 1884, has the fol
lowing editorial :
Too many people seem to think
that a religious newspaper should be
confined to the discussion of moral
‘ and religious subjects only, forgetting
‘that religion has to do both with the
‘bodies and souls of men. “Prove all
things, hold fast that which is good,”
has as much to do with the practical
side of life as it has with the moral
side. Our readers will bear testi
timony that in all questions discuss
ed in the Index, the practical has
been duly set forth. In this para
graph, therefore, we only seek to
present an article worthy of commen
dation. After subjecting it to the
above test we have tried Swift’s Spe
cific and found it good—good as a
blood purifier, good as a health tonic.
In this opinion we are sustained by
some of the best men in the church.
Rev. Jesse 1. Campbell, the Nestor
of the Baptist denomination in Geor
gia, says: “It is my deliberate judg
ment that Swift’'s Specific is the
grandest blood purifier ever discover
ed. Tts effects are wonderful, and I
consider them almost miraculous.
There is no medicine comparable to
it.” Dr. H. C. Hornady, one of the
best known ministers in our church,
says : “Swift’s Specific is one of the
best blood purifiers in existence.”
These brethren speak advisedly.
But few preparations can bring for
‘ward such endorsements. The Index
desires only to endorse these state
ments. We have witnessed the ben
eficial effects of this medicine, not
only in our households, but in sever
al other cases where seemingly all
other remedies had failed. Itis pure
ly a vegetable compound, scientifical
1y prepared, and perfectly harmless
{in its composition. It renews the
‘blood and builds up broken down
systems—gives tone and vigor to the
constitution, as well as restores the
‘bloom of health to the suffering.
Therefore, we do not deem it incon
sistent with the duties of a religious
Jjournal to say this much in its be
half.
