With spirit mooli,

And Yn on earth th ehild of Uod eau tnveu

For them He boro

For them lie wore
The thorny crown;

That is 1 ife's loss

And trust on Hint who there was erueiiled.

Once too Often.
Some weeks ago a young scapegrace in
in Virginia City, Nov,, who had left his
parental roof in New York under a cloud
in ISlid, concluded to jmt, up a job on the
old gentleman nnri make a raise, lie ac
cordingly telegraphed to his father in
I New York:
I. "dr. —: Your son Walter was killed
in the Con. Virginia thi; morning by a
falling cage. What shall we do with the
remains? M. L. Barker.”
Almost immediately a telegraphic or
der came Inr SluT, and the laconic reply,
. "Bury them.”
I he fictitious M. L. Barker “froze” to
the lop, and went on a royal spree, and
j >n a lew weeks after Wrote to his father
over his real name as follows:
"Dear I'athcr:-- I have just learned
that an inis,onus scoundrel named Barker
sent you a fictitious account of my death,
and swindled y 11 out of b 150- He also
borrowed SSG from me and left the coun-,
trv. 1 wiite to inform you that ! am
alive, an I long to see the old parental
roof once more, i am in somewhat re
duced rircuuis!anees, the aeemnulation
oft lie lust live years having been lost—a
disu.-tmus stock operation- and if you
would spare me 1 Will lie ever
thankful fur your favor. Give my love
to all. Your affectionate son,
Walter.”
A few days later the young man re
ceiv'd the following:
My Dear .Son:—l have buried you
once, .ind that's an end of it. 1 decline
having any inure transactions with a
corpse. Yours in the flesh,
Father. ”

Our Sentiments.
The Tiiehmond IT/////, speaking of the
“sejiieing ’ character ol Hayes’ prornis(s,
It is told of s une amorous king that he
v/a • so struck with the grace and beauty
of an ac tress that he rushed behind the
scene• and wished to embrace her at once.
“Will not your majesty wait until I can
wipe my rouge off,” was her well'timed
! rebuke. And by the same token, while
J we would accept all friendly advances, we
would urge the recent converts to Hayes
to let a decent interval of mourning elapse
i between the old love and the new; to
await acts and not accept prof os.- ions, and
thus not give the world occasion to sus
pect that a de-ire for nflieo was the main
' spring of all their patriotic f rvor. Vivid
ly t heir conduct recalls t he exuberant and
uiKpn st inning loyalty which the “rejected
addre . ascribe to the house Fitzgerald”
it. the well-known lines:
“Bless every limn possessed of aught to give!
Long may Long Tilney Wellesley Long Pole live;

Bob Toombs has been interviewed by a
reporter of the Atlanta Constitution.
The following question and answer are
taken front the report of that interview:
“There is talk in some quarters of oppo
sition to a convention owing to a fear that
the homestead clause will be repealed.'
“It is practically repealed now, it the
decisions of the Supreme Court are worth
anything. lam for a homestead in fee
imple. I stand by my record. 1 intro
duced in the (ieorgia legislature, when I
was twenty-six years of age, the first home
stead law ever placed upon our statute
books. lam in favor of it yet—not for
twenty-one years, but forever. I am in
favor of prohibiting State aid; I am in
favor of restricting municipal corporations
in the contracting of debts. There is no

It is not capital we want in Georgia—it is
safely for capital. Big bonanzas, as you
newspaper men eall them, are unmiti

sensationalism. They are not going to
invest until they see their way clear-
Confidence is the thing. Strip enterprise

Brown came home late, the other night,

“Glass,” said Brown, “(hie) ’ti u

“Yes,” answered Mrs. 8., “and then
take off the ‘l,’and it's you, you wretch,”
and she slammed the window with a
