AUGUSTA. GA..: Sunday Morning, October 31, 1875. The Moral of the Circus. Even the most pious man may go to the circus and with profit to himself He beholds there a wonderful mastery of man over the lower order of animals, and witnesses how, with patience and toil, the human body may be trained to perform prodigies Whatsuperb de velopments of the physical frame may ■we not find under the tent and in the saw-dusted arena ! There we discover k men who have so cultivated their raus- and nerves that the feats of Strength and agility performed appear ipfri>e beyond possibility. To turn a tsomersault on a bare-back horse, in mo tion, without tumbling to the ground, is a difficult job ; to leap over a herd of animals is no easy performance; to en ter the den of lions and tigers re quires immense fortitude ; to impale a man to a board with most cruelly sharp knives, without breaking a thread of his clothing or scratching his cuticle, is a miracle of skill; to make ele phants and dogs almost human in ex hibitions of their instinct comes within the range of the marvelous; to see children of five years of ago go through the thrilling contortions of the trapeze is something startling. It would take too much space and time to enumerate all the astonishing characteristics of the hippodrome and menagerie; but we have cited enough of them to prove that the physical faculties can be so enlarged as to cause wonder and de light, if not terror. Now is there no moral in all this? We think there is. It is not to reason curiously to reason thus : If this cor poral part can be so augmented, what glorious possibilities are within the reach of the intellect and the soul ? It is true that the manifestations of brain-work and soul-work have awakened the world to the majesty and honor of whatever is divine within us; but it may be that very few who go to the circus ever take to themselves .pne of the true lessons to be learned therd For our part such an exhibition i3 an exaiT 1 illation of conscience. We ask of ourselves what have we done with such gifts as God bestowed upon us. Have they been magnified in the same proportion that the juggler has extended his art, the acrobat his dexterity? Have we been as painstaking, alert and cau tious as the tamer of beasts? How does our spiritual or mental stature compare with the mighty physical power of the athlete? If the majority of mortals make this comparison, the circus will be a confessional of much humiliation and no little profit. It may be urged, with some plausibility, that the circus is sought for amusement and diversion; that it Is for the fun of the thing, and not for philosophy, that we seek such pleasures. That statement holds good for boys and glrfc, but hardly for men and women, S, •'or'4|jg£s trio o stale. Nevermore can a circus ue to a man of thirty what it was to him when a boy. He must either go there t?< be bored or else draw from the apparently commonplace some se rious thoughts, though those thoughts * may not be entirely divested of real enjoyment when a novelty is produced. But, just as there are “sermons in stones and good in everything,” so a circus company can bear along with it, to .the serious man or woman, a moral which, properly applied, may excuse the attendance of most rigid church-goers; and, at the instance of a pious lady, who requested us to furnish her with some apology to her minister, we have dashed off these few reflections, which she may accept or reject, as the whim shall seize her. Perhaps the minister she dreaded may call them mere hair splitting sophistries; but, for all that, ■we still hold that a circus is a moral in stitution, when men or women choose to make it so. The church of the Living God is not infrequently the place for sacrilege, frivolity aud scan dal. How shall the circus escape pol lution, if the tabernacle of the Lord be sometimes abused ? It is the frame of mind or spirit that men or women carry along with them that blesses or de grades a place not necessarily unhal lowed of itself. Dean Stanley’s Latest. On the eve of the Prince of Wales’ departure for India, Dean Stanley de livered a sermon in Westminster Ab bey, which has caused an immense sen sation. We read in the prints of the day that the Dean took for his text the words : “ How can I endure to see the destruction of the people ? ” He said that all true Englishmen would pray that the Prince might *be delivered from the dangers which beset him; that his journey might be blessed by all things which are holy, lovely, pure and of good report ; that wherever ho and his companions go, the name of England and of English Christendom should not be dishonored, but that they might act as Englishmen ought to act; that their morals should not be relaxed, nor the sensual flay raised. To which the New York World adds, in comment, that the “ Prince may now pray to be delivered from his candid friends, probably having in mind the familiar lines of Canning : ‘Of all plagues, good Heaven, Thy wrath can send, Save, save, oh! save me from the candid friend! ’ “ The Dean, it is well known, has in timate relations with tue Royal family, and he probably sympathizes with the wife and mother of the Prince in their opposition to his Indian tour.” Very bad indeed must be the repute of the heir of the British throne, if his journey to the East is followed by such a terrible benison. Well may the English people pray that Victoria’s days may be long in the land, so that perchance the “sensual flag” of her flrst born may be lowered in time, when the age of debauchery shall have passed aud tho season of better judgment and repentance reached. Edgar A. Poe’s Last Hours. We publish this morning a most in teresting account, from the New York j Herald, of Edgar A. Poe’s final moments on this earth. Dr. Moran’s report is a little extravagant, we fear, so far as he professes to detail a portion of the poet’s conversations. No man hated drivel more than Edgar A. Poe, and no man was so free from cant. Outside of tjiis treachery of the Doctor’s mem ory, as we conceive it, his revelations are exceedingly readable. In its editorial notice the Herald says: “It has always been said that Poe died in Baltimore from the ‘effects of a prolonged debauch, but Dr. Moran intimates that his death was caused by an overdose of opium, taken to subdue excessive nervous excitement. But one story is not inconsistent with the other. The facts narrated by Dr, Moran do not contradict, but rather support, the supposition that Poe had been drinking to excess in the few days preceding his death. The dying words of the poet seem in spired by a terrible remorse, not justi fied, in the opinion of the world, by the wrongs he had committed, but a re morse inevitable to his proud and sen sitive soul, as the result of vast powers abused, and mighty opportunities neg lected. ‘Poetry to me,’ he said, in the brief preface to his poems, ‘has not been a purpose, but a passion, and the passions may not be trifled with.’ The dialogue which Dr. Moran reports shows that his physical sufferings were not to be compared with his mental agony. * * * There is nothing more tragic, even in his own poetry, than his own end. He died, in remorse and misery, just before the day ap pointed for his marriage, and thus re peated, in actual fate, the story told in his poem of ‘ Ulaiume,’ where the poet, wandering at night in the month of October, follows in joy the mystical splendor of the Star of Love, and, in the moment of his rapture and bliss, Is stopped by the door of a tomb ! ” We have heard it said, by those who knew him well, that Poe arrived in Baltimore, on his last fatal journey in this world, during a heated political election. In those days, as now, many frauds were committed, repeating was only too frequent, and the engine houses were used to imprison men to keep them from the polls. The state ment goes that Poe alternately fell into the bands of both parties ; was plied with liquor at one time, voted, at another, perforce, at half a dozen wards, and, for an hour or more, thrust with a loathsome crowd into a temporaiy jail. At night, wild with delirium and lost to every glimmer of reason, he fell into the gutter, and from thence was taken to what is known as the Marine Hospital. And there, while the church bells were pealing their sacred notes, at the early age of thirty-eight years, his unhappy spirit passed into another land and another existence. There is no other life quite so wretched, in the history of genius, oitxoo R’cnow'c oaotivSx-cLjylr* hut vxxiaonn * ble career. ofosed at Missoloaghi J except that of James Clarence Man gan, who was, in many respects as consummate a poet as Poe himself, though not, iu ths country, so widely and peculiarly known. But MaNgan’s fate, in the end, was happier than Poe’s. He at least dragged the wreck of his existence to the foot of the cross, and his last sigh was borne out on the wings of a penitential psalm, and over his ashes the church breathed a prayer of hope. No such rescue and no such con solation blessed the death bed of the unhappy Poe. It is to the Christ ian a tale of sorrow and full of tears. God forbid that we should say it is the story of everlasting despair. But the words of King Henry VI. over the expiring prelate, Beaufort, will con tinually uprise: “Peace to his soul, if God’s good pleasure be! Lord Cardinal, if thou think’st on heaven’s bliss, Hold up] thy hand, make signal of thy hope— He dies and makes no sign. O God forgive him.” If it be argued, as Warwick did, that “so bad a death argues a monstrous life,” again the royal answer makes amends: “Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all- Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; And let us all to meditation.” The Cause of Hard Times.— Judge Hughes, of Virginia, has written a sensible article on the currency ques tion. He regards the large accumula tion of money in the large commercial communities as a proof of “contrac tion.” He contends that thi3 accumu lation is proof of a drain upon the ru ral channels of trade. They are dry and distressed, while the Northern cities are flooded. Commenting upon this the Richmond Dispatch says; “This is the truth; and It Is mere tantalization to tell the country that this money is so accumulated. It is the appointing a day for resumption that causes this course of things. People are curtail ing to meet it. The people do not want inflation. Thoy want business to go smoothly along, without being embar rassed by preparation for a forced re sumption—the amount of currency au thorized they believe to bo sufficient provided the banks were not prevented from issuing it by being compelled to prepare for resumption. Repeal the resumption act, receive greenbacks for duties on foreign importations, and all things will subside to a safe and satis factory level in a brief term of years.” In our opinion, the Richmond paper has stated the thing in a nut-shell. Colorado. —VTien admitted, next summer, Colorado will be No. 38 iu tho galaxy of States. She has three elec toral votes. Between the colored vote and that rotten borough, Grant may squeeze in for a third time. Rejected Lover—“But couldn’t you learn to love me?” Young Lady—l might if—if I never saw you again.” Make no toistake on a quiet, meek looking man. Ho may bo considering how hard a blow it will take to knock you down. SPECIAL NOTICES. GEORGIA COMMANDERY, NO. 1, K. T. THE REGULAR MONTHLY CONCLAVE of Georgia Commandery, No. 1, K.

I)r. Ttjtt In gratitude for the benefit received by the use of your Expectorant, I do cheerfully add my testimony to its won derful power in curing deep-seated coughs. For several years I suffered dreadfully with a cough, attended wi ! h great difficulty of breathing. I was induced to try your Ex pectorant, and it gave almost immediate relief. I took six bottles, and am now per fectly restored. It is about live months since I began its use, and I have not had an attack since. It has been a great blessing to me; I cannot afford to be without it and heartily recommend it to all who have, lung or throat disease. Very respectfully’, Mrs. A. M. Wellborn. oct!3-suwedf r Acl y NOTICE. EICHMOND COUNTY, GA.. Oct. 1. 1875.
