One day after he had learned his lessons he took out his Bible and began to read it. His next neighbor leaned over and asked ‘if lie was going to be a parson.’ He did so several days, and the boys laughed and called him Serious.’ That is one way the devil takes, to hinder young men from thinking of their soul-. He seis their companions to make fun of them, and tries to make them afraid ot it. But ii did not make George afraid. ‘I am serious,’ he said. ‘I feel I have heaven to gain and hell to shun, and I feel anxious about ir. The boys looked sober at that, and never said anything more. George heard a sermon upon this subject, ‘Choose ye this day whom ye will serve,’ and he saw several persons choosing. Stanley Miles chose; Robert Sharon chose; yes, and many otheis had chosen to serve God. George tliought he o’tght to choose. He want ed to be a Christian ; be wanted to find his Saviour. ‘How do you feel, George?’ asked his minister, when he went to see him. ‘I feel, sir,’ said George, ‘as if seeking after something I’ve lost; and I want ed above all things to find it.’ George, in fact, was lost. That is the way the Bible speaks of us. It tells us we are lost; and it says the Lord Jesus ‘came to save that which was lost.’ George was beginning to feel this, and he was seeking this very Saviour; his soul was reaching out af ter God. Aod as God promises that every soul that seeks shall find, George set himself in earnest about finding what his soul needed—a Redeemer from his sins, a helper to do right. In reading the Bible, George found this prayer of good David: ‘Mine eyes are unto tbee, O God the Lord; in thee is my trust; leave not my soul desti tute;’ and he made it his prayer. He liked the words. It spoke for him, he said. H:s minister prayed with him. His Sabbath-school teacher prayed with him, but he did not find. A holiday came. A party of boys were going to the sea side, and they came and asked George to go with them. His aunt told him to go. His mother said, ‘Let George do as lie thinks best.’ ‘I oanriot go, mother, until I have found God;’ so he stayed at home. Ii was a beautiful morning: He got up early and went into the barn. Palling on his knees, be cried, ‘Mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord ; in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.’ When he drove the cows to pasture, be knelt down upon a rock, and there called upon God. George felt that he could not take ‘no’ for an answer. Like Jacob of old, he wrestled with God for a blessiDg. In the forenoon George went to walk aloDe. When he came home h:s mother was at the door.— ‘Mother,’ he said, ‘everything looks so beaatiful. I see God everywhere and in everything. I know I have found him;’ with a sweet, soft, happy look ol one who had found the ‘pearl of price.’ The next day he said, ‘O, mother, I have got forgiveness, .and love, and comfort, and all that my soul needed. If this is religion, why does not every body try it? for they that seek shall find, and I know it.’ What George then found, he never lost. More and more he finds it better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. Chassepot and Needle Gun.— The Baris Temps gives the following. 1 Range and efficacy of the weapons. —The velocity of the ball of theebas sepot in passing out of the mouth of the piece is 420 metres; that of the needle gun is only 257. As the result of the enormous difference in the initial velocities of the two balls, it follows that at 500 metres the Prussian ball is nearly ‘spent,’ while at 1,000 metres the French ball kills almost certainly, disables at 1,500 metres, and many still do service at a distance of 1,800 or 2,000 metres. 2. Accuracy of aim.—The accuracy of the Frence aim is greater at a dis tance ef 1 000 metres than that of the Prussians at 500. The bridge of the first is graduated up to 1,200 metres, while that of the second only goes up to 550 (800 Prussian fe,et.) 3. Rapidity of firing—The French gun requires four movements for load ing, the Prussian five, so that the chas- sepots can be fired from twelve to thir teen times a minute, and the needle gun only eight or' nine during the same time. 4. The fourth point claims that the Prussian weapon fouls easier than chas- sepot, and requires more frequent re pairs. 5. Weight of ^'the arms accoutrements —The French weapon weighs fomr kilogrammes withou 1 the sabre bayonet, and 4.600 kilogrammes with 1 the sabre bayonet. The Prussian gun weighs five kilogramme without the bayonet and 5,850 kilogrammes with it. The handling of the first is, therefore, the least fatiguing. The Freneh cartridge weighs thirty-two grains attd the Prussian forty-one grains. • — mm THE CENTSAL GEORGIAN' RATES OF ADVERTISING- 10 C0 Of 06 a*. <0 s* - s pr ' % O O l B O 0 B O 0 B 0 0 1 P 5° af r* cr $1.00 1.75 3.00 3.50 4.00 6.00 10.00 20.00 $1.75 3.75 4.00 5.50 7.00 8.50 15.00 30.00 $2.50 4.00 5.00 7.50 9.00 12.00 20.00 40.00 $3.25i$5.00 5.00 7.00 9.00 12.00 15.00 9.00 12.00 18.00 20.00 25.00 25.00 453)0 6O.-OOI.8OJ 50.00 70.00:80.00!

While the governments of the great European nations can hardly make both ends meet, even in time of peace, this couutry has an overflowing treasu ry, and is paying the national debt off at the rate of over a hundred millions of dollers a year. The stupendous sum raised and expended during the four years of our war was unparallel ed in the history of the world, and all without a foreign loan or aid fiom for eign capitalists. There never was a war that cost as much within the same time; for not only were the forces rais ed enormous, but the pay and equip ment of the men and the cost of eve rything used were much greater than they are in any other country. The cost of. the Prussian and French armies in pay, clothing, provisions, arms and evety.hing elstjfor war purposes is less than a third, probably, of what the same number of men and amount of materials was here. Then look at the enormous bounties paid—from five hundred to a thousand dollars a man —an amount that would equip and support a French or German soldier for several years. Besides, the gener al extravagance and plunder of the Treasury were frightful, and would have bankrupted any other nation. No country in the world could raise such sums as we did. Yet five years after the war not only has all the vast floating debt been discharged but we have paid off several hundred millions of the organized debt. At the present rate of liquidation we could extinguish- the whole, which is a little more than two thousand millions, within fifteen years. It is not surprising, therefore, that our credit remains good during the ter rible conflict of arms that is convulsing Europe. At first, of course, United States securities felt the shock, as all others did, from that natural symptby which the finances of one great civil ized country have with those of other countries. But afterwards, when people and capitalists began to reason more clearly the resources of the Uni ted States and the superior value and security of cur bonds, they clung to them as the best investment thej could have. Hence there have been few of our bonds sent home from Europe. Nor is it likely there would be any se rious depreciation if even the war should spread over Europe. Our su perior and well paying securities would beffield aud be sought for by the peo ple no matter what strain their might be upon the governments and capital ists for money. There is no reason, indeed, why our bonds should not gradually rise to their true value under any events that may occur in Europe. If we have been able to accomplish so much in raising money for a gigantic war and in rapidly paying off the debt in the past what can we not do in the near future when our population will pe doubled and the wealth of the coun try quadrupled ? A Woman Kills Herself Shout ing.—At Bethel church, in Catoosa county, a woman, under the influence of religious excitement, commenced, shouting, and so intense was her erH thusiasm thatsbe did notjoease her gyra tions until overcome by violent exer tion, intense heat, and the fectedjatmost* phere of a close room. In this condi tion of utter prostration of mind and body, she was borne out of the house; but her vital energies could not be re- sucitated aud she was soon a corpse. A young man, during the same meet ing, tfas carried out having been over come by oppressive heat while shout ing. , , A merchant came into a priming- office a short time since, and, seeing a pile of papers lying on the table—it being publication day—unceremonious ly helped himself to a copy, and said : ‘I s’pose you don’t take any pay for just one paper?’ ‘Not always,’ was the reply. Shortly afterwards the printer entered the merchant’s store and called for a pound of raisins, which was quickly weighed out to him. The printer took the raisins, saying; ‘I s’pose jou don’t charge anything when a fellow don’t take but a pound? ‘No,’ said the grocer, after seeing the disad vantage under which he was placed by his own stingy illiberality toward the printer, and said: ‘When I get any more newspapers from a printer I’ll pay for them.’ Stranger—‘Have you a good, strong porter about the house ?’ Clerk— ‘Yes, we have the strongest about the place.’ Stranger—‘Is he intelligent?’ Clerk—-‘Ob, yes; sir, quite intelligent?’ for a porter, we think.’ Stranger— ‘One point more. Doyoh consider him fearless—that is, bold and courageous?.’ Clerk—‘As for that matter I ,know bp is; he would mot be afraid ot the devil himself, sir.’ Stranger—‘Now, Clerk, if yoor porter is intelligent enough to find room No; 117, fearless enough to enter, and strong enough to. get my trunk away froth the bed-bugs, I woula like to have him bring it downl’ J “I never shot a bird iu my life,” said < a gentleman to an Irishman, who re plied: “I never shot anything in' the shape of a bird but a squirrel, which I killed with a stone, and it fell into « river and waa_dipwhed.”
