Tot* ph & Messenger. THU BSD IT MORNING. AUGUST 7. 1873. UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. Ed ttil t Telegraph andMessenger:—Lut night t Methodist Church van jammed to bear ihe - raioa of JXiv. Dr. Dixon, before the Y *a»K Men's Cbrintain Association of the Uni* \* i*ny. Much was expected and mnch was re ceived. His text was Job xxl—15. “What profit should vr* bavo if we pray nnto him,” and the leading idea of the whole disconre was the profitableness of religion, bolding, first, that Bo man can have a Christian view of God withoot being enobled—that the intellectual idea of God is a great idea. Yon tell me that acme Teliglons men are intellectually small. Yon say it I bear you—I believe yoa. Bat will you tell me what they would have been without religion ? You tell me that men of in tellectual resources, who bave distinguished themselves, are irreligious. You say St. I be lieve it. But bow much greater would they have been with religion? Neither of these touch the question. The charge is made that church members are inconsistent. Tia true. Bat it is not Jhe religion that is to blame, but onrselvcs. Tis by c.oaing our vision to facts that we imagine that we have removed the cause. Tla not religion that is to be blamed, but the want of it. I know there are men who disgrace the name they bear. We should not blamo the name, but the man. lathe next pLce, it Is always profitable to base life on faith. Faith is the truest real za tion of hope. Never was marvel done on earth, hat in was done of faith. We cannot get rid of religion till we do of faith. Standing amid the grand old rocks of Britain, which stand as the tombstones cf ages, there I sco great things written. Bat upon those rocks there oomes a vulgar crowd, who see nothing. They were right, for they were out of their sphere. The man of most faith, is tho man of most energy, will do the most. This is a law of life. I know what worldly minded men say of our infirmities. Blame ns—lay not a Auger on the Hon of God. When we are so charged, say •‘you are right,” not “so sre yon,” for that is a coward's answer. The holier a man is, the less inclined is ho to abow himself as a model. When did the Son of God ever interfere with oomforts of A family. I bave hopes of any man who thinks, for he has life, but ho is dead who has no question to ask. Toe whole sermon was finished and Bbowed wbat boundless resources were at the oommand of tho speaker. To-day (Monday) there came eff the Sopho more pnzi declamation. When FranMin Ool- lego became a university this feature of com mencement was Abolished, but the friends of oollego boys will bo glad to know that it is re commenced. II. G. Dickinson, Albany—Antony's oration over Cxeiar, was spoken well and in a dignified manner. H. H. Gordon, Atlanta—Parrhaaias and the Captive, while speaking rather low, delivered it iu a very happy style. J. T. Graves, Albany—Iriah Aliens, was given np by a majority of all I have heard ex press themselves, to be the best decUimer on the stage, lie very happily alluded in his doo* laroation by gesticulation to General J. B. Gor don as tho gallant soldier. Graves is rather a email boy, bnt one of the brightest intellects in college. J. J. Hill, Washington—Destruction of Pompeii; F. M. Kidiey, LaGrango—A. II. Stephens on Centralization; W. W. Btnrges, Waynesboro-— Kegnlns to the Iloman Senate; T. 0. Walton, Augusta—Webster on Harder; and L. Warren, Americas—Kegnlns to Oartha geulans, acquitted themselves well. W. 8. Johnson, Jones county, spoko cx ce6dingly well, and if a second medal is given stands a good chADOO for iL J. W. Deafer, Ma rietta, spoke rather indistinctly. F. II. Wil bnrn, Athens, is too weakly built to deolaim extracts from Hod. B. IL Ilill. J. T. Pow, Madison, Sat sn and Death, delivered some parts exceedingly creditably. P. A. Stovall, Augusta, was tho most dignified, and at tho same time easy speaker. T. P. Vincent, Athens, spoko indistinctly on Aooonnt of his voice. The dec lamation, rs a whole, was good, and the youDg speakers very dignified and graceful, acd wonld have acquitted themselves bettor had the and! once giver: them tho proper attention, for thero was moro speaking off tho stage than on it. At 6 o'clock tho chapel was well filled :o hear Hon. A. H. Stephens as Literary Orator of the two societies. Being too feeble to stind he read his speech, sitting. Taking Junius for his Bnbjeot, ho said that he wonld deal more with the character of the lottors than with their anthor. I shall not attempt to comment on if. further than to say that the introduction (oif the Author) was twico as long as the body of the speech. I do not comment beoause the Phi Kappa 8oeIety is going to have it pnbliahed ututerttand. He had a very attentive audience at first, bnt rain beginning to fall, the tongues of the Assembly were loosened and conversation followed. I soo Key. Dr. Pierce on the stage this even ing for the first time. Gov. Jenkins, Gov. Brown, Bishops Fierce and Beckwith, Hon. H. W. Hilliard, and other prominent men also there. To-night the Demoatbenian Sooioly takes place; atso tho students' annnal ball. To-mor row is alumni day—moro then. A Hem Ckaae la Dtabary. Mr. Oobleigh, ot Nelson street, bought three bent Saturday night aad put them under a box until be could baild a coop. Sunday morning ht aaw one of them in the amt, and bestowing a brief cane on the ecmebody who bed over turned the box and jeopardiz-d his property, he started oot after it to drive it hack into the yard. It took fifteen minute* to oonvince bim that that ben could not be driven into that yard, aud then be attempted to catch if. Three times be roee up with h;s hands full of feathers and h s chin full of aand, but atill that hen eluded him. Oooe he got it oornered, and thought *nre be had it, bat it fl»w straight np over his be.»d and flipped us wings in his face and filled his eyes with dust. Oh, how mad tSx. Cobleigh wag. It was Sunday morning. The bells were ringing, people were starting to church, acd there he was In the street, with no ooet or hat on, and with nothing bnt slippers on his feet, and every onoein a while one of them wonld ccrae off and fif through the air, and h naked foot wonld or. me in contact with the cruel gravel, before he could stop bimaelf. Then he wonld have to hop Lack on one foot after that slipper, while the hen iitood on the walk and elocuted, And the little Saod«y-schooI children stopped aad laughed, and their parents reproved them and laughed, too. Finally, the ben got away from him and start* d down the street at a wonderful speed for a hen, and be started after her, his faoe redder than ever, and every time he cleared a rod he would stop and bop back two after one ot those slippers. When he reached the corner of Essex street, be jumped out of both slippers at once, bnt instead of stopping to go back, he picked up a stick of wood, and kept on. Then t as the hen dodged into a gateway be hurled the Htick, and broke the leg of a strange dog, which added its piercing “ki-ji” to the entertainment. But Cobleigh didn't stop. He tore into the yard after his property in his bare feet, and chased the hen into a woodpile and caught it, just as the owner of the premises came oat and winted to know what Cobleigh wt s going to do with JUe hen, and wbat he meant, any way, by getting drunk acd kicking np each a hullabaloo in a peaceful neighborhood. Cobleigh first thought he wonld knock the man down with an are, and what he could not eat of him bury an der a barn, but the new oomer succeeded in proving to Cobleigh that the hen was his, and then the miserable man burst into tears and limped back home, where he found the three beus nnder the box.— Danbury Metes. Jones County Agricultural Club* ArarsT 2,1873. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: After pleasant drive of several milos, meandering through the oorn and cotton fields of npper Jones, we arrivod at the headquarters of the above excellent dub, where provlous prepara tions had been mado for n good old-timo social barboouo given by the club, where the ingath ering tillers of the soil were united with but one sentiment in spreading peace and plenty o'er a smiling land. 'Xwas here we fonnd the good citizens of Jones, joined by some friends from Putnam and Jasper, gathered in no small number, and chatting in various groups cf old and young—proportionately composed of the beautiful and fair, and a pparently regardless of all the world outside this social gathering. Aftv a few moments, and ninch to tho satisfac tion of the assembly,' Capt. Orrio Tufts was called out and entertained the audience in a abort and pithy address upon agriculture, mode np with strong, practicable ideas of the doty and interest to which honest farmers should awaken. Captain R. W. Bonner was then introduced as tho orator of the day, and delivered, at some length, an address worthy- tho occasion and charaoteriatio of that gentleman, replete with sound logic and filled with ideas of interest which carried ns back to the palmy days in the original foundation of agrionhnre, and brought us up to the present prodigal age. with a strik ing contrast “between a splendid, and a happy land.” Dinner was announced, and, totto enjoyment of all, “smiling plenty strewed the land." The day passed qnlelly away, and all seemed to return homeward impressed with the pleasures of A day Jong to bo remembered and cherished. The Jones Connty Clnb, cow in a flourishing condition, with such gentlemen as Tufts, Bjr- ron, MHr.shj.1! and others at its head, can but spread its good effect throughout the land. Crops, with an occasional exoention, are good. No oaterpiil&r in Jones. Yours, Rubtic. British Greatness Through Ken* lucky Spectacles. Mr. Henry Wstterson must bo a perplexing problem to su-'h Englishman as see the Louis ville Courier-Journal. Fancy tho typical John Bull engaged in the study of the following neat and comprehensive bit of prophecy: Yet notwithstanding all these sources of bed blood, there exists many agreeable ties of a per sonal description, and. as England cannot af ford to quarrel, hbo has puree ed a course of pradeui dissimulation toward* us; so we get on measurably, and, perhaps, may never come to blows. They bad better not. It is written in the book of fate that before Lord Macaulay's prophetic heathen sits on Lon- din bridge and survey* the ruins of St. Paul's, the Stars and Stripes shall wave above the Tower, while the Prussians, remembering old Blnober s observation, stuff their pockets with the ill got gold of Lombard street, and disport themselves amid the fineries of Belgravia ard May Fair. I am sure, for my part, that I do not want to see a brigade of my colored fellow countrymen quartered in Buckingham Palace, though if reports be. sroe they oonld do no worse damage than its last cccnpants. Neither should I be glad to have Westminster Abbey improvised into a Methodist Church for the temporary accommodation of Billy Wilson and his pions Zonsves. Bat stranger thing* have happened. I admit thAt England is at this moment rich and strong. I admit that her Aristocracy were never more powerful. Bat, making these admissions, I believe that there runs beneath the fabric of England a stealthy, unseen current whioh is rotting away the foun dations of everything. The E«ftb!isbed Church in England has gone. The suffrage has been After a little llle Hoaoe of LonJl wW tumble. Then the gradnal rise of the lower o«2er!i. Ihene die»irtroas foreign war.
