Sleepers, and numbers of them, are be

people here are beginning to wonder
and ask why it i>; with all that has
been done here to accommodate North
ern travel; with hundreds wanting to
come here, that we have to beg every
for accommodations which the

Every effort appears to be to force
travel into Florida, although it is known
that hundreds prefer the pines of Sonth
Georgia. And why, may we cot ai-k,
should not the railroads favor Thomas-
villc; favor the region of South
Georgia, which our people have worked
bard to bring into prominence, as
much as any other punta? Have the
people here not done enough to merit
thi*? And is it not the int* rest of the
roads to moourago this business?
Only one bleeper comvr from the West

them were two or three. And the

Georgia State Luastic Asyl
Editor Times.—As the Times,
as well as other papers In the State,
has heretofore kindly aided me in
building up a library for Che benefit of
that unfortunate class of our unfortu
nate fellow creatures, necessarily kept
iu the State Lunatic Asylum, and as
also many of the Northern publishing
houses have in a kind and generous
spirit contributed liberally of new
.books to our library, and many
Northern people are enjoying the balmy
air of old Georgia in your hospitable
city, I desire, through your columns, to
express our hearty thanks to those
Northern houses through the repre
sentative Northern people now in your
midst.
Ignoring all past differences, and
generously exhibiting a willingnesa to
close up the bloody chasm that so
pitilessly yawned between the North
and the South for so long, those
Northern publishing houses, who have
so kindly aided us with contribution
of new books, have, instead of any
sectional bitterness, in every in
stance expressed to me, along with
their cictributions, feeling and senti
ments leaning toward chat Christian
principle of to “forgive and forget” and
a desire to feel again united as one
people, one government under the old
and long adored stars and stripes.
These Northern people now among
you, doubtless do not know the origin
of our library nor its gratifying pro
gress toward success. Then let me
tell them that until about a year and
a half ago this institution had literally
no library, and no appropriation by
the Legislature to buy one. Conceiv
ing the idea of securing one by indi
vidual contributions, l appealed through
the newspapers to the people for con
tributions of such second-hand books
they cculd spare. Other papers ap
proved the idea aod lent their aid.
Tne consequence was that contributions
capic in so liberally I was enoouraged
to some of the Northern pub
lishing booses, many of which respond
ed in lots of from a dezm to a hundred
each, which was far more liberal than I
anticipated, until now we have a very
respectable library that oonfers no end
of pleasure and curative benefit upon
the patients who consider it one of the
greatest blessing* they could have.
Under these circumstances then,
with all confidence in their generosity, I
deair i to appeal to those kind hearted
N orthern people now among you, who
haviog been South and seen for them
selves that Southerners are not such
blood-thirsty demons as some of the
‘ bloody shirt” organs would have them
believe, that when they return to their
happy homes at the North, they look
among the books in their houses and
such as they can spare (if even only one
or two each) they put a wrapper and
postage stamp on and send by mail to
the Asylum Library, Milledgeville, Ga.,
aid i; will be a deed that will call
forth not only the gratitude of the
patients, but the blessing of God also
It matters not if boo|cs a?o old or di
lapidated, so they are ompteto—for all
such era acd will be rebound. It is
almost universal opinion that re
ligious reading is the kind most desired
by our patient?, i* a mistake.
Novels, acccdotr?, tales, etc., and
i-cd, what is generally termed “light
literature," such as the cheap paper
bo( k novels, are most (Jetyahle, as this
not a reformatory, b'dt a placa where
the minds must ba kept S3 much as
possible upon light and interestiqg
subjects.
A record is kept of all contributions
and it is desirable that all who con-
trLute, send their name and addrns,
so that in after years i^e tyay knew
who had helped—-even in ever so small
degree to build up this library.
Heartily wishing your Northern
sojourners all possible benefit from
your balmy terobinthinated atmosphere,
and God’s blessing upon their safe re
turn home, I am
Kindly, ever yours,
W. C. Bellamy. M. U.,
Librarian.

GILMORE SINGLETARY,
Jan. 1,1839. Treasurer
Now. IVby UTkla?
In an office in this city, a young
girl, well educated, quick, industrious,
sits at a desk and peforms a daily task.
For this she gets paid $16 a month.
Not ten feet away sits a young fel
low, a smart and affable worker, do
ing precisely the same task that is
done by the girl. He gets $40 a
month.
Now, why is this? Both do the
same work. The girl admittedly does
it the more neatly and rapidly. In
every way her work is the more satis
factory. And yet she gets $16
month while the young man gets $40
a month. Isn’t there something
sentially unjust about this 2 —Consti
tution.
Give the women a chance.
Tho negro Republicans of the North
are masting with more persistence than
ever before, that their race io repre
sented in the cabinet, and, if cabinet
places are to be given as a reward for
service, says the Telegraph, they are
right. More than a million majority of
the white voters of tho oonntry cart
their ballots against Gen. Harrison,
aod he would hardly have carried a
half a dcxiu States without the united
support of the negroes. The colored
vote is iodispensahle to the party, but
Republican leaders will never reoogniz)
lb a claims of the negroes ia the distri
bution of patronage until the latter
cease to be Republicans as a matter of
coarse. Patronage is more spt to be
used as an inducement to faithfulness
thai as a reward for it.
On the first of January the jute
barging oust expired, and there was
at once a sharp decline io the prioe of
the article. The trust cleared

She was bom here, and yet it
seemed no one remembered that she
was ever young. She was only Ra
chel, with her gentle, care-worn face,
her busy hands and quiet ways.
Years before she had sat in a pew
ofthe old church, and the gray
haired pastor had preached the Res
urrection and the Life. And at the
grave of her mother she had taken
up her life burden.
There were many little ones in the
humble household; she did what
her hands found to do, and kept
the home together. She had her
dreams, but to her own heart yearn
ings had whispered—wait.*
But the years went by, and some
body grew tired of waiting. "He’ll
come back soae d:y,” she said, but
her eyes were misty, and the turn in
the road from which he had waved
her farewell was blurred through her
tears- *

when I missed her.
“Not sick,” she told them, “only
tired—so tired.”

Death might smite other households
—themselves, even—but it seemed
as if “sister” must be always there.
Bet there came a day when the win
dows of the little cottage were daik-
ened and a hush seemed fallen upoft
the village. The wcaty heart was
done with its throbbing and aching
the tired feet had strayed into a m
ful heaven.
As they stood over the dead sister-
mother they wondered that there
should be gray upjn her temples, and
it seemed in those deepened lines in
her meager face that death hsd aged
r a dozen years.
