There is no'jleath ! the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown They shine foreverraoie. There is no death ! the dust we tread Shall change beneath the summer f bowers To golden grain or mellowed fruit, Or rainbow tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize, And feed the hungry moss they bear; The forest trees drink daily life From out the viewless air. There is no death 1 the leaves may fall,' And flowers may fade and pass away; They only wait through wintry hours The coming of May day. There is no death ! an angel’s form, Wnlks o’er the earth with silent trend; And Hears our best loved things away, And then we call them “dead.” He leaves our hearts all desolate, lie plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers; Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bowers. The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones Make glad these scenes of sin and strife; Xow sings an everlasting song Around the tree of life. Where'er he secs a smile too bright, Or heart too pure for taint an i vice, He bears it to that woridof light To dwell in paradise. Born unto that undying life. They leave us, but to come again; With joy we welcome them the same, Except their sin and pain. And ever near us, though unseen, The den® immortal spirits trend; For all the boundless universe Is life—there are no dead ! THE DEADLY CIGARETTE. Somo Reflections on Cigarette Smoking by.an Unhappy Viotim— Augusta - Dealers Endorse the Law and Will Enforce It. .-tn Chronicle; 1 - Some oue has most aptly compared cigarettes to coffin tacks. And there was more truth than poetry in the remark. Within the past ten years they have .probably resulted in greater in jury to the health of the rising gen eration than any other habit. Their effect is so permanent and pernicious that it is almost a matter of impossibility for any boy to contin ue the practice many months before consumption, bronchitis or somo other like affection is developed. And yet with this information prin ted aud preached, the use of tobacco in this form lias steadily increased until now the daily output of the va rious factories runs far up into the millions. HOW’ INTRODUCED. Ten years ago such things as ci garettes were hardly known in Augus ta. Only the more prominent tobac conists dealt in them, and even then so few were sold that the profit realiz ed hardly repaid for the trouble. In the great majority of instances at that time they were used by young men who attended Northern colleges. When n man was seen sauntering along the streets in those days daintily puffing away at the innocent-looking little rolls, most people were quick to dub him a ‘‘blood” or the luxurious son of.lOO-thousaudaire. But stand on the street corner now and count the victims. They pass in almost limitless number—dozens, hun dreds, thousands. Nor is tlie deadly habit confined to any class or condition. Here a hand somely dressed young fellow walks down the sticet smoking a cigarette; next comes a little negro boy who has just dexterously picked a “butt” from the gutter; here’s a ten-year-old white hoy sneaking along to avoid detection, but ejecting clouds of the sickening smoke nevertheless; sometimes it is a gray-haired man ; the spread of the practice has been so rapid find enor mous, you arc not surprised to see anybody sucking cigarettes. INTO THEIR LUNOH. The average man hasn’t the least idea as to how the death-dealing cyl inders are smoked. To their idea a cigarette is enjoyed just ns a cigar is enjoyed—by drawing the smoke into the mouth, nfterwnrds blowing it forth again. Never was made a greater mistake. A beginner might enjoy his cigar ette in that way, but the veteran— never! With the regular cigarette fiend the mouth is first filled with smoke; then, with a quick inhalation, the noxious fumes are drawn iuto the lungs. And this is just how the cigarettes do irreparable damage. Were thesmokq- allowed to go no further than themOu" the injury to one’s system . would inappreciable. But the confii smoker could find little pleasure in such method, and, were it corapujsory, would soon abandon cigarettes alto gether. His craving is not satisfied unti least half a dozen puffs are inhalet. fill every nook and corner of the lungs. Then, and not until then, has he cnougli. The cigarette is accord ingly losscd aside, to be succeeded shortly by another when the desire again takes possession of him. THE AFTER EFF: is to put a stop-to the growing evil of cigarette smoking. Cigars, chewing and smoking tobacco are not included in the law, as it is understood by the onse committee that fhvorable re ported it. The whole law is aimed at ta are all heartily glad of the passage of the new statute. Each has long recognized the injury done to boys and young men, especially the smaller fn Any old smoker will com opinion that the cigarettes an ged in some way, for how e they acquire such powerful fnsci for so many people. jThere is certainly aiscnicin paper, and in nearly all eases opium in the tobacco.

He had several cases to defend negroes at this term of the court, but there were Some in Columbia who didn’t wnnt a negro, lawyer there.

Single out the same fellow after he has devoted five years of his life to in halation of the fatal fumes. How docs lie appear ? His once rosy cheeks are sunken and sallow ; his shoulders arc stooped and his chest hollow ; the manly pro portions promised are never realized, and altogether he impresses you as an opium enter. Not only is he n physi cal wreck, hut mentally ns well. Medical experts, who have made a study ot the subject, say that the reg ular smoker of cigarettes is either the victim of consumption or heart dis ease, or meets death 'in its most revolting guise—in a mad house. I.EHITI.ATIVE INTERFERENCE. Realizing the menaco to physical and mental health put forth by cigar ettes, the Legislature of Georgia lias taken steps in the emergency. The bill, as passed, forbids the sale of ci garettes or cigarette material to mi nors, a heavy penalty being the result of the law’s disregard. The bill is as follows: Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Georgia, that from and after the pas sage of this act, it shall not be lawful for nny person or persons, cither by himself or themselves, to sell, furnish, give or provide any minor or minors with cigarettes, tobacco or cigarette paper, or any substitute therefore, without the consent in writing of the parent or guardian of such minor or minors so to do. Sec. 2. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That any person or persons violating the pro visions of the preceding section, either in person, by agent, or in any other way, shall be held and deemed guilty of the offence of misdemeanor, and upon indictment nud conviction there of, shall be punished as provided for in section 4310 of the code of Geor gia. The third section repeals conflicting laws. The new statute is essentially and entirely a cigaretto law. Its purposes o£ hiwin a county of his own political fnith, in 13 no the state of Georgia. It is the origi nator of such outrageous falsehoods and men of his kind who create had feeling between the two races. I visited Bolurabia county about two weeks ago ; and although my presence as a negro lawyer created a great deal of wonder and made mo the cynosure of all eyes; still I was treat ed with the most respectful attention and utmost courtesy, by the sheriff, the court clerk, and in fact by all ot the citizens of their little town. I have never received any note or mes sage warning me not to visit Colum bia county -or any other county in this state, and if I were to receive such a note or message, it would not stop me from going to that particular county, provided I was employed to do so. I hand my record to the world, and invite every gentleman of our land to read it, and see if my de portment nnd demeanor has not been such as to merit for mo a fair and im partial hearing on behalf of any per son, who may choose to sustain the relittion to me of client, But, siV, the race question does not stop with what I havo said. It goes still a great distance, into the hovond. The time is now propitious, is now at hand, and ripe for the statesmen nf this scctiou to see to it, that steps are at once taken to put forever at an cud the work of such vile virulent villifiers who take up their time in manufacturing base fabrications with which to malign this section 1 How shall it be done? By grant ing to both races alike full and equal justice iu the operation of the law, as well as the letter of the law. By granting them the right, as far as practicable to control their own affairs. By holding up the hands of the lib eral conservative colored men, wlicrc- ever you find them. By giving all such nieu opportuni ties for the greatest amount of useful ness. Iu fact do not suffer congress or any other legislative body to have oc casion to inquire whether or not the new made citizens are treated with equity and justice. This section ought to hold a higher place in the governing of this republic than it does, but the continual splitting of hairs over nice distinctions, some of which must appear foolish to us when we stop to think, is what emasculates and our section down. Neither political party comes south for a vice- jpreeidential candidate. Neither party cares tor the opinions of this section. We eat, all of ns, at the second table, and will continue to be fed on what ever our. northern brethren feel dis posed to give ns until we learn to stop fighting among ourselves. All this talk about the seriousness of the race question is bosh, provided we are wil ling to meet the question like Chris tian people ought to meet it. Two races distinct in color can live here as agreeable as can two nationalities with the same color, but differing in every other way—in lan guage, customs nnd character. I beg you, Mr. Editor, to betake yourself to the worthy and immortalizing tnsk of encouraging thoso citizens of your race whom God has blessed abundant ly'in their store-houses to be good stewards of the Lord’s property and help tlio conservative colored men among you to build up within the colored race, a society which shall satisfy my race so completely that they will not desire any other. Oh, that the negroe’s God was black, that his heaven was of that color nnd that his ideal, worthy to be worshipped, wns not despised because of the ab sence of white. Teach tho negro by assisting tho conservative one’s among them, that the best society for a col ored man is colored society. I call not close this lettor without By all means have tho two live together, each in his own bo far: as sociality goes, willing at all times to bid each .other God speed* “Tain yoursTor Odd and’ my country. C. H. J. Taylor. Hints Upon Bathing. No hath should be taken when the body is fatigued. No bath should be taken immediately after or before a meal, or when the body is overheated nnd the body in a perspiration. If practicable the bath should be taken when the body is at its maximum of vigor. For ordinary life tho most convenient time for a bath is upon rising or retiring. A hath upon going to lied is conducive to sleep. Simply washing the skin with clear water is not sufficient for cleanliness. Soap should be used freely. Even with soap and water the skin often remains uuclenn, as is proved by the rolls of debris that can be rubbed from it after a vapor bath. The hath should be taken in a well heated room and should ever he followed by a sensation of comfort, otherwise more harm than good has been done. If the person be delicate to atmospheric impressions, take the hath very quickly, and do not wet the. whole body at once. For a general bath the water may he of a temperature that is agreeable to the bather. Foot baths are invaluable and may lie taken several times a week with advantage by all persons. Well persons may continue them from fif teen to thirty minutes in water as cool as enu be borne. Rub dry with towel and hand and pare tho nails carefully. This practice keeps tljc feet nice and rids them of corns. A girl who had got tired of single bl essedness, wrote to her intended as follows: “Dear Jim: cum rite off if you are coming’ at al, Ed Hilton is insistin’ that 1 shell heve him and he hugs aud kisses me so much that I cau’t hold out much longer.” Jones—AVhy don’t you lay by something for a rainy day?
