A Philanthroplcal Astronomer Mr. H H. Warner, of Rochester, N. Y., is developing info a philanthropist of more than ordinary calibre. As near as we can judge, Mr. Warner is making strenuous and well directed efforts to abate the restriction which is thrown about young people just • after dark. His efforts have so far lakeu the shape of offers of two hundred dollars in gold to anyone who shall, during the present year, discover a new and unexpected comet; two hundred dollars to anyone who shall discover a meteoric stone containing fossil remains of animal or vegetable life, and fifty dollars to anyone who shall send in a meteoric stone seen to fall within the United States. This cunningly devised scheme is bound to meet with an almost unanimous re sponse from the young English speak ing people. There will be a general rush of dilligent searchers into the warm summer nights upon a valid excuse. The dark uooks of the veranda, where the light from within doors no longer can blind the eyes, will bo favorite posts of observation, and the front gate > furnishes such a fine arm rest for ama teur astronomers, will teguin all of its ancient charms. The scientific investi gations will leapjhe watchers off into unfrequented fields in search of valu able stones, and there will be uo oneTo comment on the length of their absence for it is clearly the duty of the young to advance the cause of science, espec ially when by doing ho they can lay by a 6nug little sum for rainy days. The time is even coming, thanks to Mr- Warner, when a young man can sup- port the uplifted head of his girl with his strong right arm and feel not asham. ed. for it will be evident to all who gaze upon her that her bright eyes search the heavens, and none can deny but that gallantry requires manhood to lend its aid when woman struggles with hidden mysteries. It will be observed that Mr. Warner’s offer is made only to English speaking people. This is well. Our cont nent- al friends need no inducement to wan der out after dark.—Macon Telegraph. She Didn't Place her Words Right At one of the *ity drug stores a young and sprightly school-teacher last week hurriedly addressed the clerk : ‘I would like a sponge bath.’ ‘Ah, ah, a—will you please repeat; I did not quite understand ?’ stammer ed the clerk. ‘I would like a good sponge bath,’ again sxclaimei the customer, while a pair of sharp gray eyes, beaming with wonder and impatience, made him tremble. ! The disconcerted clerk managed to tell his fair customer his inability to catch her meaning.. •Well, I never ! If this isn’t queer! 1 think I speak intelligently enough. I—want—you—to—g i v e—me—a — good—sponge—bath.’ At tbis moment the proprietor whis pered : ‘She wants a bath sponge.’ All of a sudden the lady comprehend ed the trouble and fled from the store before she could be recognized by any one; but too late! A gentleman raised his hat to her, passed in, and the story got out. “And now,” shouts an excited exchange, “where shall we look for independence?” Oh, friend and brother, searhing and long-suffering fellow-sufferer, look in the kitchen, look in, the kitchen ’ Shaving the Face. Thirty years ago a few persons of foreign birth, appeared in tbe street with hair on the upper lip, and were objects of curiosity and sometimes of public ridiente. In 1850 some of the young swells of the metropolis began to wear mustaches, bat -for sometime no clerk would venture to imitate them.— In one case a merchant on Pine street, who bad just engaged a clerk for twelve months, or during good behavior, discharged him for wearing a full beard, claiming that tbe adoption of the fash ion laid the clerk open to dismissal un der the good behavicr clause to the contract. About the same time a num ber of leading merchants gave notice that they would employ nobody who wore hair on their upper lip. As late as 1851 the senior proprietor of tbis paper made hia cashier shave off an incipient mustache, and soon brought his own son uoder tbe razor. In the church of Dr. Bethune, on Brooklyn Heights, an elder who was suffering from a lame wrist allowed his beard to grow rather than submit to a bather. The habit, beginning in necessity, con tinued on account of the increase of comfort which it afforded, and the el der flaunted his beard before the con gregation constantly. The result was laughable. Many of the breathren called upon the pastor to insist upon doing away with such a scandal as a full-bearded elder. He led them to his library aod showed them how some of the early fathers had pleaded against cutting off the beard. “Be turned to Lactantius, Theodore, St. Augustine and St. Cyprian who, had stoutly con tended for the growth of the whole beard. He quoted from Clement of Alexander the assertion that ‘nature adorned man, like a lion, with a beard, as a mark of strength and power ’ When one of the visitors asked him how he would like it if the clergy as- assumed the mustache, Dr. Bethune referred him to a decsion of the fourth council of Carthage (A. D. 252, can. 44), in which it was positively enacted that a cleric shall not shave Ms beard, and to a statement made by Luther in discussing the subject, that ‘all Pro testant nirtyrs were burned in their full beards.’ This did not settle the matter, for subsequently the ladies of the congregation put iD their protest. But in a few months a venturesome lawyer let his -beard grow after the manner of tbe elder, and in' a little while smooth shaven faces were no longer the rale but were the except ion.—M. Y. Commerce. Home Without a Woman. In the goodness of our hearts can we not pity the occupants of a home with out a woman ! Such a home, bow ray less, aod lonely ! As bereft of charms as the rosebush without its crimson roses ! Desolate ss the desert without cherry restful oasis 1 Free of love’s sweetest fragrance as the garden with out its darling flowers 1 A home with out a woman 1 As. well might day be without blazing aun, or night without its lumar and diadem of dazzling stars! Truly are they to be pittied who live iu earth’s isolated retreats away from woman’s loving charms. Thrice bless ed is be who daily basks in the sam, shiny smiles of mother wife or sister. His home should be an earthly para dise. a fit emblem of the habitation beyond tbe skies. Fair readers, let your hearts go out in pnrest sympathy for those poor, lone beings who have not a mother’s loving counsel, a wife’s holy wooing, or a sister’s twining affect- tion Their homes are upon earth’s desert w iste, or along the rock bound shores. Blot woman from existence and the world would be in midnight dark ness. She is the light of the world, man’s brightest flower, the poets grandest theme. Where woman dwells not, tbe home is without its charms and angel of peace. Oh man, be not lacking in woman’s praise; her sweet influences are as vast as the ocean snd as high as the heavens. Let her name be in scribed upon the scroll of fame, and every home on earth enjoy her benight ed charms. So mote it be. “I stand,” said a stamp orator 1 “on the broad platform of the principlesof '98, and palsied be my arm if I dosert ’em.” “You stand on nothing of the kind, interrupted a little shoemaker in the crowd; “you stand in my boots that yon never paid me for, and I want the money. Chips, Clip* sued Quip*. A blacksmith is seldom arrested for forgery, though he lives by it. The hardest rocks are made of the softest mud, just as the biggest swells' are made from tbe smallest men—Low ell Citizen. “I’ll make yon dance,” cried an irate mother, pursuing her erring son, slip per in hand. “Tnen,” remarked the juvenile, “we shall have a bawl.” A correspondent wants to know where the expression “Let np” comps from. We believe it comes from tbe fellow who isn’t on top in tbe fight. Young belle—Is it nanghty to kiss ? We hope so. It adds so much to the fuu of doing s thing to know that it is naughty. John Habberton, the author of ‘‘Helen’s Babies,” has been delivered of another book, entitled “Twins.” The author is doing as well as could be expected. It is said that sharks will not bite a swimmer who keeps his legs in motion. If yon can keep kicking longer than a shark can keep wailing, yon are all right. It is the little things that fret and worry ns. A 3-year-old boy may keep a man in perfect misery, whereas no such trials would accompany the pres ence of his 18-year-old sister. A man who detected a piece of bark in his sausage, visted the butcher shop to know what had become of the restof the dog. The butcher was so affected that he could give him only a part of the tale. “Did you ever have your wife to tie a string on your finger to remember something by, and then find yourself an hour afterward trying to remember what it was to remember ? Not you, you old bald headed, knobby-toed bach elor.—Hello. The Beat Beatoratlve*. One of the first questions that is asked by all sorts of people when it is proposed to drop alchoholic liquors from mediciaes is, “What can we use iu their place?” I thought it would be inte-esting to know what those En glish doctors say whu are making such progress io temperance, and I find suab facts as the iollowing ; An English clergyman got very tired on Sunday evening, so he asked his his doctor whether he had not bet ter take a glajq, of wine to put him right. ‘No, by no means,” was the re- ply, ‘go to bed.’ Not all doctors make to sensible a reply, and perhaps thit one took his cure from Dr. Richardson. This is what he says; ‘Rest however short it may be, is the best of all re storatives.—Five minutes’ rest is wotth a glass of tbe best wine in its direct action, and it is good every way. After rest, food and sleep.’ When questioned what he did after a long walk, or other physical task, he re plied, ‘I rest by sitting still or by reclin ing at length if that be possible. Then take a light meal if that be at hand, or a draught of milk if said food is not ready ; or a slice of oatmeal or wheat- meal and milk if that can be sectored. Afterwards I take a warm bath when that is at hand, add as soon as I can I go to bed. These are all natural plans, simple as the drinking of any stimu lant, and safe as nature herself.' Remember all this is from an old school physician who has been for years familiar witb its social and medi cal u«es, but who has given them np from common sense reasons; that is from a knowledge of the nature of al cohol, and close observer of itt effects upon others.—Julia Colman to the Weekly Witness. “What BhaU we do to entertain our girls!” says a religious exchange. A man who needs advice as to ho v to entertain his girls is not fit to edit areligiows paper. We suggest that he should take one of them out boggy- riding in the afternoon, teH her wbat a daisy she is. Then he ebould take “that other girl” out for ice cream after supper and tell her confidentially, bow very unin teresting and awkward the buggy-riding girl ia.

Thursday last escorted by our genial friends. Capt. Hobs. Hou. R. H. Lyon, W. A. Hawkins, aud Col. Lamar, of tbe Tele graph and Messenger, I arrived safely in Atlanta. Stopped at the Kimball. Found business almost prostrate. Caused by the unnecessary cry of small-pox. This loathsome disease, I found upon a careful inquiry, had. existed in the city, and there were a few cases when I arrived at the pest house, but it was confined principally to negroes. There is no danger to be ap prehended by a visit to the city now. The disease has abated. Found the political caldron more active than the small pox. Radicals, coaliti- tionists and iudependents, all congregated here, scheming and devising. Tbe Demo cratic Executive Committee here ou Wednesday, but did nothing more than jail a Convention in July. They were rather tender obout expressing their sen timents. The truth is both parties are coquetiDg witb Hon. A. H. Stephens and are not satisfied as to whether he will or he won’t accept a nomination from either side, but mount the palitical rostrum as an independent candidate of the people for Governor. The Presbyterian General Assembly met here this week. It was largely at tended. Sunday they filled every pulpit in and around the city. Inuoculating its citizens as thoroughly with Presbyterian ism as they have been with vaccine virns. The Atlantese are diverting their minds by pic-nics. Tbe churches have gone into business. Saturday tbe members of the first Baptist church and those of the Sec ond went into a pic-nic business on a large scale The first at Douglassville, the sec ond at Stone Mountain. At the invita tion of two captivating ladies, 1 joined the cold water army bound for the latter point. A: half past eight we were all aboard. At nine onr iron horse bounded away at the rate of forty miles an hour, bearing many happy hearts to the trystiug place that may never beat with as many joyous emo tions as thrilled our hearts as on we sped by beautiful homes aDd fields of waving grain. Reached the folorn looking little town, Stone ATountain, perched almost at the base of its name sake. Strung aloDg the railroad fishing line style, in due season without mishap. Disembark regardless cf order and pull for the mountain. Reach its base, pile onr baskets under the friend ly shade uear a cool spring and prepare to clitnb, escorted by two Atlantese beauties. Well, it was a climb my reader! and such a climb! It was as difficult of asceDt as t hat steep where “Fame’s proud temple shines afar;” especially as I had to aid two hun dred pounds of fair flesh to climb too. But wb*n tbe goal is reached one is amply repaid in smiles by tbe lovely ones whom you have aided to ascend the stony heights aud the grand panoramic picture by dame Nature, that lies around and stretches out before you until the view perishes in the dim distance. Beautiful! yes; beautiful! Dasies pied and violets blue, bloom around on every spot of earth they can find to rest tbeir tiny feet. Lichens green and lichens gray hug closely the broad oosom of tbe masive rock. Wild flowers of names unknown to us, wreathe the stern rock’s ride3in a wealth of beauty and tempt the passer by. All aronnd us far as the eye can view stunted pines, hickory, oak, poplar, grow at intervals along the mountain’s rugged sides and on its bead. At its ■base cozy looking farmhouses and fields of waving grain, smilingly bask in tbe beams of God’s soft descending sun shine. As far as the eye can stra : n its utmost vision one beholds a lovely land of hill and vale, ehanced in beanty by the farmer’s hards. Oh, it is a picture of sub lime beauty and grandure, readers I De scending safely from the Mountain’s lofty brow with our fair charge, we put in an appearance at the baskets where I fully enjoyed the bountiful good thiogs nrepred by our fair friends. The Atlantese of the mountain have a legend, I am told, mind you. They claim the hnge massive Btone to be a remnant ef that mighty tower— “Builders vain, presumptoua, Piled on 8hin*r’s Plain*.” aud the firm bsBe on which it stands the plaine itself. Well, it looks like it. Five oclock. AU aboard again. Onr iron faorae impelled by tbe invisible breath of steam speeds away over the rail for heme.

Whilst rattling around this pleasant city I met Mr. James Ponder, formerly of The Democrat, now engaged on the Pho nograph. I compliment tbe paper upon hia accession to the editorial staff. He is a ready graceful writer, a genial clever gentleman, and will contribute greatly to its popularity. Long may he wave. Had the pleasure of meeting Hilton A. Helper, another graceful writer; also onr brethren of the city press, whose names we cannot mentioetion for want of space. 0. G. G. WIT AND HUMOR Many persons who never get down on tbeir knees arc “down on the Chinese.” A man in New Jersey died because he couldn’t tell lye. He mistook it for whisky. “No," said the lady, “I am not keeping any servants now. I have quite enough to do to wait upon myself.” “Ob for a better half,” said a sorrowing widdower when he found a counterfeit fifty cent piece among his change. > The more that fun is poked at tbe poke bonnet the more the poke bonnet seems to be poked into pubic assemblages. “I love the summer,” as the boarding- school girl said when she eloped witb her arithmetic teacher. A Brooklyn man advertises a powder to “cure cats and dogs of somnambulism ” It is put in a gun. When Ajax defied tbe lightning : t was jnst after an infliction of a lightning-rod agent- Thirty years is said to be tbe life of a locomotive. Possibly they would live lon ger if they did not smoke so much. It is fearfully true that an ape in velvet is just as much ac ape as an ape in rags, but the world don’t tbink so. “What is love?” asks an exchange. Love, my friend, is thinking tbut yuu and the girl can be an eternal picnic to each other. Why is a church bell more affable than a church organ ? Because one will go when it’s tolled, but the other will be ••biowed” first. There is nothing marvelous about curing by laying on hands. Hands laid on smartly and vigorously have cured many smart boys of badness. As you travel around the country you are more impressed with the cooviclion that the chief end of man is to paint pat ent medicine signs on the fences. Somehow, the ugliest man always wants to marry the prettiest woman. He is justly proud of his own good taste, but how mortified he must feel over his wife’s. In the temple of fame, it is said, there is a niche for every honest man; bnt the truth compels us to add that in that same temple are a great many niches to let. It is pleasant to remember that not an boar passes in tbe increasing march of time there is not a half-dressed man some where on the face of the earth calling for a shirt. “Pa,” asked little Johnny, “what does the teacher mean by saying that I must have inherited my bad temper?” “She meant, Johnny, that you are your mother's own boy.” A Troy lawyer asked a woman on the witness stand her age, and she promptly replied : “I sold milk for yon to drink when a baby and haven't got my pay yet.” A Russian proVerb says : “Before go ing to war, pray once ; before going to sea pray twice ; before getting married prey three timea.” “Are girls worth anything?" a<l:ed a gentleman. That depends. Some girls are worth $250,000 in tbeir own right, and some girls are not worth a cent of money and yet their value cannot be estimated. “You are as full of airs as a music box,” is what a young man said to a girl who re* fused to let him see her home. “That may be,” was the reply, “but I don’t go with a crank.” A fashion item says: “Titian-red bair is to be the favorite shade dnriDg the sea son.” It differs from the politician red. One is worn on the nose and the other on the bead. “Edith.”—The reason that men prefer to marry women with small feet is because in tbe winter time they don't feel like snch big lumps of ice as large ones. Irate Sportsman—“Confound it you have shot the dog. I thought you told me you could bold a gun ?” Pat—“Sore, aud so I can, your honor. It’s the shot sorr, I couldn't bowld 1” “A fellow most sow his wild oats, you know,’,exclaimed the adolescent John. “Tee,” replied Annie, “but shouldn’t begin sowing so soon after cradling.” “Woman,” says Mrs. Eastman, “is a problem.’’ So she is! and, though a problem we can never hope to solve, it is one we shaH never, never be willing to give up. “Beautiful tbong’.ta are the desert of the mind.” So they are. but the beautiful thought that you can never get the $25 you loaned is a constant reminder of tbe desert in yqur pocket. A h»odoD critic says there is too much “simmering flirtation” : n American novels, the authors “being too. much occupied witb “jouqg girls,’ ss they are called.” WeH, remarks the Norristown Herald, the English novelist is too mnch occupied with maiden aunts and grandmothers, as they are called, and tbe American writer has the best of H by a large majority, with several “ young girl precincts to hear from. Peck’s Pkuasy Paragrapl George Lesqrd, of Montreal, is 101 year* old. At the age of 100 mvried hW f • fourth wife. Some men never will learn anything. _ . The great men are rapidly passing away. Bryant, Etpmeraon and Longfellow have, joined the uonuzperable caravan within the- pest year, and others are complaining of not feeling very well. It is the last thing a person ought to do, is to die. _ . A scientific writer on sleep says that sound sleep can be produced by eating on ions before going to bed. Yea,,that tpay. be, but bow will it be with the other per-, son in tlje bed ? Will he, or she, as the. case may be. go .to sleep,, or. stay awake, all night and wish that every onion was in—tbe bottom of the sea. We do not bear so mack of the anti-. Mormon meetings and long resolutions as we did about six weeks ngo. That boom has gone theryay of all booms. Tbe. Amer ican people are a good deal like jomping- Jacks that have a string to puli.
