A little plain, honest, effective leg
islation in the interest of debt paying
is sadly needed in Georgia. The ten
dency of legislation since the war, has
been in the other direction. There
are a number of kinds of hard work
by which people earn the means of a
livelihood ; but there is no other
work comparable to thatof collecting
debts, in all that tends to make labor
exhausting and unremunerative.—

There is a touching beauty in the
radiant look of a girl just crossing
the limits of youth, commencing her
journey through the checkered space
of wonaanhood. It is all dew-sparkle
and morning glory to her ardent,
buoyant spirit, as she presses forward
exulting in blissful anticipations.
But the withering heat of the conflict
of life creeps on 5 the dew-drops ex
hale; the garlands of hope, scattered
and dead, strew the path; and too
often, ere moontide, the brow and
sweet smile are exchanged for the
weary look of one longing for the
evening rest, the twilight, the night.
Tug INTELLIGENCE OF JURIES.—“I
never thought there was much truth
in the stories told about the intelli
gence of juries, for it did not seem to
me possibie for a man to listen to a
case and still remain in ignorance of
the personality of the parties. Buta
man residing in Rome told me the
other day that while on Jury duty in
Utica some time ago he had personal
experience with such a case. e was
on a jury with two men who, after
they had retired, voted on a verdict
in exact opposition to their real sen
timents because they did not know
the difference between the ‘plaintift’
and ‘defendant’ in the case.”—[ Rome

MASKS.
I If we could only read each other’s
hearts, we should be kinder to each
other. If we knew the woes and the
bitterness and physical annoyance
of our neighbors, we should make al
lowances for them which we do not
now. We go hiding our heart-pangs
and our headaches as carefully as we
can; and yet we wonder that others
do not discover them by intuition.
We cover our best feelings from the
light ; we do not conceal our resent
ments and our dislikes, of which we
are prone to be proud. Often two
people sit close together with “I love
you” in each heart, and neither know
it. Each thinks “I could be fond,
but what is the use of wasting fond
ness on one who does not care for
it 7’ and so they part and go their
way alone. Life is a masquerade at
which few unmask, even to their
very dearest. And though there is
need of much masking, it wounld be
well if we dared show plainly our real
faces trom birth to death, for then
some few, at least, would truly ‘love
each other. 0. 8.0
BILL NYE ON THE BUMP TRANSLA
TOR.
Puck.
Much harm has been done by a
long-haired phrenologist in the west
who has, during his life, felt of over
a thousand heads. A comparison of
a large number of the charts given
in these cases shows that, so far, no
head examined would indicate any
thing less than a member of the low
er house of congress. Artists, ora
tors, prima-donnas and statesmen are
plenty, but there are no charts show
ing the natural-born farmer, carpen
ter, shoemaker o chambermaid.
That is the reason butter is so high
west of the Missouri river to-day,
while genius actually runs riot.
What this day and age of the world
needs is a phrenologist who will paw
around among the intellectual domes
of free-born American citizens and
search out a few men who can milk a
cow in a cool and unimpassioned tone
of voice. .
Let me say a word to the bright
eyed youth of America. Let me
murmur in your ear this never-dying
truth: When a long-haired crank
asks you a dollar to tell you that you
are a young Demosthenes, stand up
and look yourself over at a distance.
before you swallow it all.
There is no use talking, we have
got to procure provisions in some
manner, and in order to do so the
natural bone and sinew of the coun
try must’ go at it and promote the
growth of such things, or else we ar
tists, poets and statesmen will have
to take off our standing collars and
do it ourselves.
Phrenology is a good thing, nos
doubt, if we can purify it. So long
as it does not become the slave of
capital, there is nothing about phre
nology that is going to do any harm ;
but when it becomes the creature of
the trade dollar, it looks as though
the country would be filled up with
wild-eyed genius that hasn’t had a
square meal for two weeks. The
time will surely come when America
will demand less statesmanship and
more flour; when less statistics and
a purer, nobler and more progressive
style of beefsteak will demand our
attention.
I had hoped that phrenology would
step in and start this reform ; but so
far it has not, within the range of my
observation. It may be, however,
that the mental giant bump-transla
tor with whom I came in contact was
not a fair representative. Still, he
has been in the business for over 30
years, and some of our most polished
criminals have passed under his
hands.
Your Boy’'s CompaNions.—See
that your boys have good associates.
A mother is quick to observe; she
can judge the kind of companions her
boys have by their behavior in the
house when “the boys bring them
home, and, if she knows they are not
all she would wish, will advise and ‘
admonish they are not good. Better
let them have a few good cmn]mninns!
than many who are “hail fellows well
met.” A father has more opportuni
ties for observing the outside life of
the boys than the mother, and should
spare a few minuted of his surplus
time to inquire into the outside life
ot his boys just entering into life. A
well regulated household depends
upon the conduct of the father as of
the mother. Command your chil
dren’s respect from their infancy and
you will always have it through life.
Even in far off Utah the *English
sparrow is prononnced a nuisance,
and the Legislature is asked to take
them out of the list of protected
birds.

A REPLY.
Not long ago I read a piece,
The Bachelor's lament, s
"T'was written off in poetry,
And to the Journal sent.
I've thought and thought about that man,
And wondered what he'd do,
The poor unspliced hysteric soul,
He was in such a stew!
And yet the fault was only his,
He'll have to look about;
There's just as good fish in the sea,
~ As ever were caught out.
I have a lady in my mind,
I think would fill the bill,
She wants a Captain to command,
She has no wish or will.
Her height is only four feet, eight, |
Her dresses aren’'t made long, |
And all the dry goods that she'd need,
Could be bought for a song.
Her appetite is very small,
With love-filled heart and head
She’d never dream of coarser things,
Of butter or of bread.
The opera’s she'd ne'er attend,
They'd cost a good round_sum, |
And she could be without expense, |
Fair “Juliette” right at home. |
His wealth of love would shield her,
From the cold and chilly storm ;
No need of seal-skin sacques or gloves,
Or fires to keep her warm.
A single birthday ne’er would pass,
Without a gift he'd see, .
She’d not expéct them in return,
Come Cindy,—bring my tea.
This is the cup that fill's me up,
But ne’er inebriates,
Yet she who loves and drinks it too—
May look-—but always waits.
This thing of fea has done more harm
Than all things else combined ;
It keeps apart the sturdy oak
Aund clinging ivy vine.
If it was vanished fiom the earth,
How charming would it be,
The marrying would begin afresh,
Here Cindy—want more tea.
The first fair conple that were made,
Did not shrink from each other,
They quietly resolved to smile,
Aund ery, and eaf together,
Kind Journal, will you publish ?
And if he calls to see
Who wrote it, you can just speak out,
And say—it was——just me.
AROUND THE WORLD.
A Bridgeport (Conn.) dispatch
gives a brief history of a remarkable
family, consisting of father, mother
and nine children, stopping there
temporarily. Mr. Charles F. Russell,
the father, is a gentleman of culture.
Fourteen years ago he married a Miss
Chippendale, of Paddington, England,
part of the marriage contract being
that should Providence bless them
with an heir Mr. Russell wouid hold
himself bound to take his wife around
the world. About thirteen years ago
a son was born, and stortly thereaf
ter Mr. and Mrs. Russell started up
on the promised trip. Before the en
tire circuit of the globe was made
another son was born, and Mr. Rus
sell felt himself called upon to make
another “lap.” He says he has been
traveling around the world for near
ly thirteen years, and has made but
seven complete circuits. He and his
family are now on their eighth cir
cuits. He says they always travel
westward, seldom repeatnig the same
route. This trip they crossed the
Atlantic to Canada, and are new on
their way to New York. They travel
with as little baggzage as possible,
one portmanteau performing service
for three. The nine children are
bright, speaking'most of the languag
es of the world. While playing
around the room their utterance most
resemble the dialects used at the
building of the Tower of Babel. His
accounts of experience in Japan, In
dia, Delhi and Barrackpore would
fill volumes. His family have been
transported by cars, steamers, cle
phants, camels, asses, slaves, junks
and gondolas, and speak in the most
bewildering manner of Chinese forts,
the Pearl Mosque, Mohammedan
cities, the Hindoos, Paris, Cairo and
New York. Mr. Russell says he was
originally of the belief that constant
traveling through the cities of the
earth would educate his children,
but he is now afraid that ultimately
they will all become tramps. En
gland is his home, but he has liyed
so long “on the fly” that he hardly
knows how they could ever settle
down.
There were 28,000,000 silver dol
lars made in in 1884, and but 300 in
1839, "The most ancient date is 1794,
From then until 1804 they were coin
ed continuously. Then a skip of
thirty-two years occurred. The trade
dollar is the only thing that has mar
red the issue since 1836, with the ex
ception of 1836, when none were
coined. The silver dollar of 1804 is
the rarest American coin. But two
genuine ones are believed to exist,
and their owners have refused $l,OOO
each for them. 'The -1794 dollar
brings $4O. 'Those between 179
and 1863, 83 each; 1845, $4; 1839,
with flying eagle, $25 each ; 1851 and
1852, §35 and $4O respectively; 1858,
$3O. The trade dollars issued from
1873 to 1878 are destined to become
rare.

After standing in front of the store
for several minutes, seemingly unde
cided what to do, he entered and ask
ed for the proprietor, and then be
gan :
“My ole woman was gwine long
yere las’ night an’ fell down on your
sidewalk an’ busted her elbow.”
“Ah! Well, being you are a poor
man I'll make the charges as light as
possible !”
“But dat hain’t de case, sah. A

kin git damages.”
“Exactly, but you don’t understand
the matter. In the first place you
must fee your lawyer and put up for
court expenses. Then you prove that
I own the sidewalk. Then you prove
that your wife was not guilty of con
tributory negligence. Then you
prove that your wife didn’t bust her
elbow by falling down stairs. Then
I appeal the case, and the higher
court grants a new trial. By that
time yourgwife and her busted elbow
are dead and buried and you are mar
ried again, and you offer to settle for
five pounds of brown suggr.”

“All that and more. The grocery
business is cut so close that ! shall
probably be a bankrupt by April,
and then what good will a judgment
do you?”’
“Dgt’s so—dat’s sO.”
“Or the case may hang in the su

dead.”
“l see. An’ you will gin two
pounds of brown sugur to settle de

“Well, yes.”
“Den you may do it up, and arter

Farming has not yet reached that
state of developement when you can
say, do this or do that and you can
have a crop of so many bushels to
the acre. The fact is, the farmer
stands nearer to the forces of nature
than other classes. Clouds, storms
and winds and the mighty hurricane
‘make warJupon his labors, and the
lightnings of heaven vent their wrath
upon him ; but the Good Book has
promised seed-time and harvest, and
as long as the sun gives heat and the
clouds moisture he will continue the
struggle. i
Willacoochee
Is the name of a flourishing village in
Coffee ‘county, Georgia, on the line
of the Brunswick and Albany rail
road.
Mr. D. E. Gaskin, a well known
citizen of that village, writes under
date of December 224 :
Soon after marriage, about four
years ago, my wife was stricken with
some trouble peculiar to her sex,
which broke down her general health.
In this condition she was soon after
attacked with Inflimmatory Rheuma
tism of such a severe type that it
made her a eripple. She was reduc
ed in flesh to sixty-five pounds, and
came very near losing her lite. She
was att ‘nded by three good physi
cians who treated her with some ben
efit, but the swelling in her joints
never left her. Last summer the
Rheumatism returned in a still more
severe and painful form which seem
ed to defy the skill of all the doetors.
She would almost go frantic with
pain, and would lie and seream all
day. A friend of mine, who is an
engineer on the Brunswick & Albany
railroad, suggested that I should use
Swift’e Specifie (S. S. 5.,) which I
did. After she had taken one small
bottle she was up and able to walk
over the house, and atter taking the
six small bottles she is now able to
do any kind of house work; the
swelling has gone, all the pain has
left her, and she is in better health
than she ever was. The treatment
before using the Swift's Specific cost
me between $350 to $4OO, and the six
bottles of 8. 8. S. cost me six dollars.
It is certainly the most wonderful
medicine and the best blood purifier
in the world. The proprietors should
let the world know about it.
Nore—The 8. 8. S. Company wish
to caution purchasers in regard to
the numerous imitations of their
goods. Some carry the lie on the
face, pur{)ortig\g to be vegetable rem
edies; when, in fact, they are really
strong of poisonous minerals—as
Mercury, Potash, etc. Be careful to
get the genuine. A
