AFFAIRS IX GEORGIA.
Com is worth only 40 cents per
bushel in Early county, Ga.
The City Council of Fort Gaines
is taking steps to have ^n arte
sian well bored in that place.
The Georgia Baptist convention
meets with the Griffin Baptist
church on the 10th of April next,
and preparations have been made
by the Baptists of that city for the
entertainment of the delegates.
The Dalton Citizen is right in
saying that the man who raises
his own provisions is bound to
live regardless of the condition
of the corn and meat market. He
never looks West.
The light-house keepers along
tho Atlantic seaboard have all the
game they can use just now, as
hundreds of ducks and other fowl
flying southwards, blinded by the
light, dash themselves against the
glass lenses and are killed.
The Athens Banner says a
gentleman Trom an adjacent coun
ty has a large piece of hide taken
from a negro’s back tanned into
leather, which he will have made
into a pair of shoes. He has had
Ihe leather a long time, but cannot
find a shoemaker willing to make
it up. The leather is thick and
durable, but very elastic and soft.
Fort Valley Mirror:—At a ne
gro church in Crawford county,
some of the congregation objected
to hearing a sermon from* the
darkey who was to preach, ne
negro said: “I hop9 I may die if
I ever listen to you preach again.”
Tho negro who made this remark
immediately dropped dead.
A few nights ago Mrs. Tharps,
of Johnson county, went to bed
with her babe in her arms. Oa
awaking about 8 o’clock next
morning she missed the child,
but after a careful search, found
it suspended between the side of
the house and the bed, cold and
lifeless.
Mr. R C. Jones, and Miss Zora
Colley were privately married in
Gainsville last week. After the
marriage the coupel left the city
for Tallulah Falls on a bridal
tour. Mr. Colley, a brother of the
bride, followed them and brought
them back, swearing out a war
rant charging Jones with bigamy.
He admitted that he had another
wife living in Cherokee county,
whereupon he was trotted off to
jail, and Mrs. Zora to her recent
home.
The Xevr Boy.
He was a brand new^office boy,
young, pretty-faced, with golden
ringlets and blue eyes. Just such
a boy as one would imagine would
be taken out of his little trundle-
bed, in the middle of the night
and transported beyond the stars.
The first day he glanced over the
library in the editorial room, and
became acquainted with every
body, knew all the printers, and
went home in the evening as hap
py and cheerv as a sunbeam.
The next day he appeared, leaned
out of the back window, expector
ated on the printer’s pate, tied up
ft cat by the tail in the hallway,
had four fights with another boy,
borrowed $2 from an occupant of
the building, saying his mother
was sick, collected his two dav s
pay from the cashier, hit the jani
tor with a broom, stick, pawned a
coat belonging to a member of the
editorial staff, wrenched the knobs
off the doors, upset the ice-cooler,
pied three galleys of type, and
mashed his finger in the small
press. On the third day a note
was received, saying: “Mi mother
do not w ant I to work in such a
dull plae. She says I TV ouid
make a Good preacher. So do I.
mi finger is Better; goan fishin.

WALKING WITH THE
WORLD.
Fresh, clean hog’s lard, rubbed
three or four times on any kind of
warts on horses or cattle will re
move them on three or four appli
cation.
[publish by bequest.]
The Church tnd the World walked far apart
Oa the changing shore of time;
The World was singing a giddy aong,
And the Church a hymn sublime.
"Give me your hand,” cried the merry World,
“And walk with me thiHray,”
Bnt the good Church hid her snowy hands,
And solmny answered, “Nay,
I will not give you my hand at all,
And I will not walk with yon ;
Tour way is the way to endles death;
Your wordB are all untrue.”
“Nay, walk with me but a little space,"
Said the World, with & kindly air;
“The road I walk is a pleasant road,
And the sun shines always there;
Tour path is thorny and rough and rude,
And mine is broad and plain :
My road is paved with flowers and dews,
And yours with tears and pain.
The sky above me is always blue;
No want, no toil,I know,
The sky above you is always dark ;
Your lot is a lot of woe ;
My path, you see, is a broad, fair one,
And my gate is high and wide;
There is room enough for you and mo
To travel side by side.”
Half shyly the Church approach the World,
And gave him her hand of snow.
Tho old World grasped it, and walked along,
Saying in accent low,
“Your dress is too simple to please my taBte ;
I will give you poarls to wear,
Bicb velvets and silks for your gracoful form,
And diamonds to deck your hair.”
The Church looked down at her plain white
robes,
And then at the dazzliing World,
And blushed as she saw his Handsome lip
With a smile contemptuous curled.
“I will change my dres3 for a costlier one,”
Said the Church, with a smile of grace ;
Then her pure white garments drifted away,
And the World gave in their place
Beautiful satins and shining silks,
And roses and gems and pearls;
And over her forehead her bright hair fell,
Crisped in a thousand curls.
“Your house is too plain,” said the proud old
World ;
“I’ll build yon one like mine;
Carpets of Brussels and curtains of lace,
And furniture ever so fine.”
So he built her a costly aDd beautiful house ;
Splendid it was to behold;
Her beautiful daughters and sons dwelt there;
Gleaming iu purple^ud gold;
And fairs and shows in tho halls wore held,
And the World and his ch ildi en were there.
And laughter and music and feasts were heard
In the pisca that was meant for prayer.
She had cushioned pews for the rich and great.
To sit in their pomp and pride;
While the poor folks, oladin their shabby suits,
Sat meekly down outside.
Tho Angel of Mercy flew over the Church,
And whispered, “I know thy sin.”
Thou tho Church looked back with a sigh and
longed
To gather her children in,
But some were off to the midnight bail,
And some were off at play,
And some were drinking in gay saloons;
So she quietly went her away.
Then the sly World gallantly said to her,
“Your children mean no harm,
Merely indulging in innocent sports.”
So she leaned on. his proffered arm,
And smiled, and chatted and gathered flowers,
As she walked along with the World;
While millions and millions of precious souls
To the horrible gulf wore hurled.
“Your preachers are all too old and plain,”
Said the gay World with a sneer.
“They frighten my children with dreadfu
tales,
Which I like not for them to hear;
They talk of brimstone and fire and pain,
And the horrors of endless night;
They talk of a place which should not be
Mentioned to ears polite.
I will send yon some of tho better stamp,
Brilliant and gay and fast,
Who will tell them that people may live as
they list,
And go to Heaven at last.
The Father is merciful, great and good,
Tender and true and kind;
Bo yon think he would take one child to
Heaven
And leave the rest behind?
So he filled her house gay divines,
Gifted and great and learned;
And the plain old men that preached the cross
Were out of her pulpit turned.
“You give too much to the poor," said the
World,
‘Tar more than yen ought to do;
If the poor need shelter and food and clothes,
Why need it trouble you?
Go take your money and buy rich robes,
And horses and carriages fine,
And pearls and jewelry and dainty food,
And the rarest and costliest wine;
My children, they dote on all such things,
And if their love would win,
You must do as they do, and walk in the ways
That they are walking in.”
Then the Church held tightly the strings of
her purge,
And gracefully lowered her head,
And simpered. “I’ve given too much away;
Til do, sir, as you have said.”
So the poor were turned from her door in scorn,
And she heard not the orphan’s cry ;
And she drew her beautiful robes aside,
As the widows went weeping by;
And the sons of World and the sons of the
Church
Walked closely hand and heart,
And only the Master, who knoweth all,
Ccnld tell the two apart.
Then-tho Charebs at down at hei ease and said,
“I am rich, apd ip goods increased ;
I have need of nothing, and naught to do
Bnt to laugh and dance and feast;”
And the sly world heard her and laughed in hie
sleeTe,
And mockingly said aside,
“The Church has fallen, the beautiful Church
And her shame is her boast and pride.”
The Angel drew near to the mercy-seat,
And whispered in sighs her name,
And the saints their acthemr of rapture
hushed,
And covered their heads with shame;
And a voice came down through the hush of
Heaven,
From Him who sat on the throne,
"I know thy works, and how thou hast said,
I am rich; and hast not known
That thou art naked, poor and blind,
And wretched before my face;
Therefore, from my presence I cast thee out,
And blot thy name from its place.”
—Mrs. M. C. Edwards, in Baltimore Christian
Advocate.
A FOSER.
HOW A GROUP OF POLITICIANS AN
SWERED A QUESTION.
A lot of State politicians were
holding a seance the other even
ing in the parlors of the Kimball
in Atlanta. They were probably
arranging plans for the coming
Gubernational campaign. A seecly
looking individual with a cynical
face was leaning against the door
post taking in the scene and spec
ulating on the chances of getting
a drink. He was accosted by a
guest of the hotel who inquired
the identity of the group.
“They are some of the men who
run the politics of this state,”
replied the thirsty individual,
“and what they don’t know about
setting up the pins isn’t worth
knowing. But I’ll bet you drinks
I can stump the whole crowd with
a question which any man of or-'
dinary culture ought to answer.
“What do you say to tho wager ?”
The stranger took another sur
vey of the group and accepted the
bet
Approaching the group the cyni
cal gentleman said:
“Excuse me, gentlemen, but my
friend and I have had a little
friendly dispute about an impor
tant question and we have agreed
to leave its decision to you, if you
will kindly accept the responsi
bility.”
They did not object, and the
cynical gentlemen continued.
“Gentlemen, what is proto
plasm ?” mm
“I really have not been reading
the newspapers closely lately,”
remarked one of .the company
addressed, “and am not familiar
with measures now pending before
Congress.
“I have been out of town for a
week duck shooting,” remarked
another, “and am very, rusty on
the news of the day. I think
Mr. here can give you the
information you desire.”
The gentleman thus appealed to
twirled his thumbs and looked
very wise. He gently asked:
“Protoplasm was the term, sir,
was it not ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Protoplasm—the fact is, sir, I
have not given this great subject
that attention which I usually
bring to bear upon questions of
the day, but I am looking into it
with a view of ultimately formu
lating some views which I hope
at no very distant day to give to
the country. Under the circum
stances I prefer not to commit
myself to views either for or
against it at the prsent time.”
“I make it a rule,” put in an
other gentlemen, “to reserve my
opinion until issues are directly
raised before the people. As this
question is evidently one which,
as yet, has not engaged a large
share of public attention, I must
remain non-committal.”
“I am preparing a resolution on
this question which I design sub
mitting to the next State conven
tion. Under these circumstances
it would be in exceeding bad taste
for me to anticipate the contemp
lated action, and you will there
fore have to excuse me,” politely
remarked another-
“I will remark,” said another
“that protoplasm as an important
issue will not figure in our next
campaign, for the simple reason
that our people are too conserva
tive to be affected by every new
question which may filter down
from the North. But since it
may come up for discussion as a
minor issue at some future day, I
prefer to remain silent* until such
time as my views may be required
to serve my fellow citizens.”
The guest and oynical gentle
man adjourned to the bar, and the
members of the group went on
discussing politics.
Puppies’ Bites.
St. James Gazette.
The verdict of “death from hy
drophobia,” returned at an inquest
held yesterday on the body of
Thomas Jenkins, a boy of 14
years of age, is a warning to per
sons who are in the habit of
teasing puppies. The evidence
showed that the deceased “point
ed at” a retriever of three month
old (now dogs oi all kinds hate to
be pointed at) which thereupon
snapped at him and caught his
finger, “the skin of which was
grazed.” That was in September
last; and on the 18th instant the
boy showed tymptoms of hydro
phobia, and died in St. Mary’s
Hospital on Saturday last. It
was stited in evidence that bites
from puppies were “worse and
more dangerous than from old
dogs”—a fact, if it be a fact, by no
means so generally known as it
should be. If puppies’ bites and
scratches be more dangerous, they
are certainly far more common,
especially if a “graze” of the skin
can be called a bite, . and it ap
pears from yesterday’s inquest
that it is sufficient to induce
hydrophobia.
