THOMSON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS, 1884.
ASH WEDNESDAY.
“Remember, man, that dost thou art, and unto
dust thou shalt return.”
In the prime of thy vigor, go, manhood,
and kneel
To-day at the foot of God’s altar, and feel,
When dread sounds the truth of mortality’s
doom,
As thy brow is impressed with the seal of
the tomb.
That the palm of thy -strength, which thou
bearcat with pride,
Iu a handful of ashes the grave will soon
hide.
In a few fleeting yearp, as these ashes to
thee,
To the world, all the pride of thy manhood
will be.
In the light of thy beauty, fair maidenhood,
8°
To the altar, and bend, in thy loveliness
low;
Thou wilt learn there is nothing that nature
can hold,
But ahaudful of ashes, lifeless and cold.
Dost thou shudder to think all thy bright
ness and bloom
Will he spiritless dust in the sleep of the
tomb ?
Oo’r its lessons then ponder, for what thou
dost see,
In a few floeting years will thy maidenhood
be.
With thy sorrowless spirit, go, childhood,
and bow
To receive the dread sign on thy Rhadow
iess brow ;
In life’s golden future thou losest thy trust,
As thou, wonderiug, hearest that man is
but dust;
For it tells that thy youth, with its gladness
and peace,
’Neath the grove in the dust of obliviou wilt
coaso.
O’er its lessons then, ponder, for what thou
dost see
In a few fleeting, years all thy childhood
will be.
The pale brow whore presses tho thorn
wreath of care,
The dark symbol of death, unshrinking can
bear;
At the altar, then, kneel, and the sound of
tho voice
That hath terrors to others, will bid thee
rejoice;
For it says that thy woe to the dust will de
scend,
And that pain, in the sleep of thy ashes,
will eud.
In a few fleeting years, us these ashes to
thoe,
To thy soul all its toils and itj sorrows will
be.
With thy future’s grand promise, Oh Chris
tian soul, go,
At tho altar thy scorn of mortality show;
On thy spirit there falls not a tremor of fear
That this life to the nothing of dust is so
noar;
Tliou art glad that thy ashos alone will ro
main
Of the bonds of tho flesh aud the world’s
heavy chain.
In a few fleeting years will thy spirit be free,
When a handful of ashes thy body will be.
Dime Novel Work.
The win k of the dime novel is being;
performed with eVeri more than the
TiMttrt ttneveas. -The Mltv-t day O re*
hoys lobbed their mi rents and started
for the boundless West. More recently
a lad in a Philadelphia public school
drew a rcvolvor on his teacher, mid
examination showed that seven other
boys present were armed with revol
vers and bowie-knives. They had
formeil a secret brotherhood, their
leader, (ho hoy who pulled the pistol,
having taken tho terror-inspiring name
of ‘’Schuylkill Jack.” They meant to
set oil in a little while for tho West al
so, being consumed with a lino ambi
tion to become cowboys. This sort of
escapade is becoming common, and
while no doubt there are litany absurd
features about such boyish outbreaks,
they furnish cause lor uneasiness too.
The class of literature which is mainly
responsible for all this folly is distribu
ted all over tho country in immense
quantities, and it is distinctly evil in
its teachings and tendencies. Tho
heroes of tiie dimo novels are almost
always thieves, robbers and immoral
characters, and tho heroines are no
better. The stories abound with de
scriptions of brutality, cruelty and dis
honesty, when they do not go furthor
and far worse. Boys gather from them
the idea that violence and trickery and
immorality are manly, and that the
character to be admired is tho bully
and ruffian who knocks everybody
about, and cuts throats right and left,
and plunders successfully, and is hail
fellow with the thieves and dangerous
classes generally.
Through reading this pestilent stuff
a groat many boys are undoubtedly
put fairly in tho road to ruin. They
insensibly acquire a crooked moral
vision. They begin to deteriorate In
their associations. They pine tor op
portunities to emulate the heroes thoy
aro reading about. Presently thoy are
tempted to steal from their parents,
friends or employers, to prepare for
some preposterous raid, and then,
though they may be saved for the time,
their characters havo sustained a shock
which is liable to weaken them per
manently. It is ditlieult to deal ade
quately with this evil because of the
absence of uniform legislation. A good
deal can no doubt be done by vigilance
and local preventive organizations,
such as are at work in New York, but
probably tho most effective remedies
are in the hands of parents and rela
tives, who, if they will only take the
trouble, certainly must he aide to cut
off tho supply in a lurgo number of
cases.
The habit of relying upon tho Stato
itt such matters is in fact a bad one;
and it is already far too prevalent.
Tlte State ought not to be called upon
to do anything which can bo better or
as well done by private energy amt af
fairs concerning the family nearly ail
come within this category. YVltcti,
therefore, boys arc being corrupted by
the dime novel influences, it ie in order
to inquire what tiioir parents havo been
doing to protect them against this
vicious agency, and tho parents ought
not to be encouraged to look to some
body clso for relief from tiioir unmis
takable duties.— N. y. Tribune.
m
Character.
The only drawback to enthusiasm in
any gootl causo is that it may so ab
sorb us as to prevent us from recogniz
ing something else equally needful.
VVe were large enough to include both;
the more zeal wo possessed the Itcltcr;
but, as wo are limited in power, wo
should bewaro of exhausting It in a
single direction. It may be considered
at least questionable whether, in our
rightful desire to promote intellectual
education among our people, we aro
notin somo danger of forgetting tho
education of character. Wo do not,
because we cannot, overrate tho impor
tance of the former, but wo may, aud
probably do, greatly underrate tho
valuo of tho latter.
The Triumph or Paste.
A man was busily in past
ing patent medicine advertisements on
the posts supporting the awnings in
front of a block of stores in Eighth
avenue at 1 o'clock tho other mom
ing.
“Why do you work at this timo ot
night?’’ ho was asked.
"So’s the owners of the stores won’t
see me. A good many of them object
to our sticking bills upon their proper
ty. In the day time wo have to ask
permission. In the night nobody sees
us. There was an old follow in Tenth
avenue who had some big posts in
front of his grocery. I wanted to stick
up some bills for a variety show, and
went and asked him if I might. Ho
was a pious old chap—a deacon, I’ve
heard- and ho gilt awful mad when i
told him what the bills were. lie
came as near swearing as a deacon
could —said 'by Godfrey,’ if I remem
ber rightly—aud said I ought to be
ashamed of myself to be pasting up
such things, lie talked pretty mean,
and I got riled. Thinks* I, old fellow,
I’ll stick up those bills on your old
shebang if l died for it. He had heavy
board shutters on tho windows, and,
of course, they were swung back iu the
daytime. 1 slipped around when there
wasn’t anybody looking aud pasted
one of tho best pictures on the back of
every shutter. When night came tiiev
pulled tiie sliuttors to from the inside
and went away without noticing the
bills. Tho next day was Sunday, and
if it wasn’t a circus to see the boys
around that building looking at the
pictures. There wasn’t another build
ing like it anywhere iu tho neighbor
hood, and it drew well all day. I
hoard tho doacon nearly burst a blood
vessel when he got around the next
morning. He had to have tho shutters
ail taken ofl' aud soaked in hot water
before tho bills would peel off. Dry
work talking, ain’t it?”
Mr. Irving Tells a Good Slory.
Tiie queen, as lie who wishes may
read, has often mado visits both of
pleasure aud policy, to her estates in
Scotland, being at such times moro
than heartily welcomed by the canny
Scots, who, almost without exception,
highly revereueo her aud indorse all
that she does.
On one occasion, shortly after a visit
to her castle in tho outskirts of Bal
moral, (blessed aptness), Mr. Irving,
who was traveling through the country
met an old Scotchwoman with whom ho
spoke of her Majesty.
“The Queen’s a good woman,” said
he.
“I suppose she's gudo enough, but
there are tilings I canna bear.”
“What do you moan?” asked Mr.
Irving.
"Well, I think thcro are things that
even tho Queen has no reeht fo do.
For one tliiug, she goes rowjn on tho
lak on Setmday—and it's not a Citrons
tinn thing to do!”
“But you know tho bible tells us—”
“I kuaw," she interrupted angrily.
“I’ve read, the biblej siuee I wus so
high, an’ I knaw eyry wo?d Tn i. I
knaw aboot the Sunday fishing and a’
tho other things the good Lord did,
but 1 want ye to know, too, that I
don’t think any the more e’en of Him,
for adoin’ of it.” —Bustun Uor. N. Y.
Graphic.
It is a mistako to suppose that tho
Princess of Wales is the leader ol fash
ion in London. Were she so, crino
lottos, high shoulders, and inordinately
higli heels would never havo been seen,
nor loud combinations of color and
elaborate head gear. The Princess Is
celebrated lor beiug always dressed in
quiet Uhd perfect taste. " She goes in
lor a rather sovero article of tailor
made garments just now. Of course
she is imitated. If she appoars in a
gray or pink hat, many are the gray
and pink heads to he seen; but for one
who will follow tho Princess’ quiet,
lady-like style, twenty will follow the
lead of somo eccentric or celebrated
actress.
Precautions against ~t„
"Above all ho very careful about fire;
I have a great horror of it,” says tho
mistress to tho new cook.
"Pray don’t be alarmed, mndnmc;
there is a fireman in my kitchen al
