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. Your Till Death Do Yank us.” 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.
