Where sorrow's not at mortalsliurlod, Some s;.ot when- man may Hud roposo. And east aside his weight of woos. I ask It of the birds and flowers, I seek It In tbs forest bowers; But no! In all my soarcb I find No place that's suited to my mind. Tell me, thou graceful forest tree! Hast thou not one small spot for me? My heart’s so weary of earth's cares; Canst thou not sooth mo? unawares The tall tree heaves a long, sad sigh. As gentle broezos murmur by. That sigh—i Lttow It answered “na. I turn, would that I knew tho way! Across the plain tho forest lies, In beauty rlolng with the skies; Is there not some sacred place, Whero vines and branches Interlace, To form a quiet cool r etreat, For man’s tired brain, and wca-y foot? Alas! I fear It la not there, For zephyrs murmur "tls elsewhere." Canst to 1 mo, happy, flowing stream, Dancing along with crystal gloam, Hast, In tho bosom of tho earth, n found ajplaco whero sorrow’s dearth? Some place whero Joy and rest abound, Some spot of consocralod ground? Weklva, loaning on In gloo, Wafts back the answer, "nay,” to me. Oh, wondrous moon! thou queon of night! Toll mo, hast thou not, In thy flight, Found e’en the vistngo of a spot, Whore sin and sorrow enter not? Hast thou not seen, In all thy round, 9 placo where pcaco and rest abound? A dark cloud hid her face away, And soft but sad she answored "nay." I gn/.e up to tho nzuro sky, An ' there, mctbluks, an angels eye, ks down Into this soul o' mine, Breathing words of Import divine. Tell me, sweet angel, tell me, I pray! Whero is that placo whero this poor clay May find repose, fo long besought, r this life’s >-tern battle's fought? Mctliinks the oyo has brighter grown, On snowy wings has nearer flown, , right within this hea**t of mine, Again I hear tho tones divine; But sweeter aro their accents low, For list! a promise they bes.ow, vords, with Joy this hoart does quiver Aro, "rest, sweet rest, beyond the river." -E.

From the Chicago Tribune. “I nin not in the habit of smok ing, Miss Chipperly,” said the young man gallantly, “but when a lady asks me to join her in a cigarette I certain ly cannot refuse. Thank you. You were saying (puff) ” ‘T was speaking, Mr. Peduncle, of the fulse standards of (puff) civilizu tion and refinement that prevail in society. Too much attention is paid to externals.” “It is true,” responded the ycun, man. ‘‘Our modern society (puff) is in many respects a mere outside show, with nothing but hollow forms and meaningless (puff) conventionalities within.” “It is this,” said .Miss Chipperly speaking with great earnestness, “that prompts me (puff) to defy the arbi trary and unreasonable exactions and impositions that self-chosen leaders of society preset ibe for my guidance, Who made them to be the judges of what is right and wrong (puff), prop er or improper, good form or bad form? The independent soul spurns the shackles of (puff) a false creed of manners and forms and dares to stand upright i i its own native strength of manhood and womanhood! 0, Mr. Pedum le 1” she exclaimed, clasp her hands excitedly, “have you never felt an irresistible impulse, a stern and relentless inward monitor, deep and unconquerable yearn in to go forth into the word and lay hare your whole soul ” ‘ Miss Chipperly,” replied the youth rising unsteadily to his feet, pale as a sheet, and flinging, with a nerveless, trembling hand his cigarette into the fireplace, “I have! I—I—wow think I feel it prompting tnc this moment? G-good evening 1” And with frantic haste Oliver Ped uncle rushed forth into a cold, hollow, heartless, jeering world, in obedience to one of the mightiest impulses, one of the most relentless, unconquerable irresistible yearnings that ever stirred the inmost soul of mortal man ? Ochlockonee Dots. Summer still lingers, and the nights •e just lovely. Mrs. West, of Cuthbert, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. R. C. West. Mr. W. H. Lester, traveling sales man for Lamar, Rankin & Lamar, Macon, showed his pleasant fnce in Ochlockonee Friday. Mrs. Marlin,- of Brouwood, Ga.. who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. N. F. Howell, returned home Wednesday. Mrs. J. H. Anderson returned from Boston Sunday. The missionary quilt was disposed of Tuesday night, at the residence of •I. E. Stephens, S20 being realized,and Rice Sills being the lncky one to draw it. After disposing of the quilt a nice supper was served and sweet music rendered by Misses Ola Jones and Minnie Baston. Everything was a decided success. Mrs. McKeusey returned to Savan nah Saturday, after spending some time with her sister, Mrs. It. G. Jack- son. The Educational Test. The Chicago Inter Ocean, writing of the educational test in the south says: “That the states have a con stitutional fight to impose educational, or other qualifications upon thir vot ers, provided that such qualifications bear upon while and black alike, is r.ot questionable. As a matter of fact, every state does except some condi tion of men from the right of suffrage. Connecticut and Massachusetts ex elude those unable to read. Four states exclude non-taxpayers. Five exclude members of the United States army, whether officers or privates. Most, but not all, exclude idiots and the insane, and about eight specially exclude duellists. There is almost an infinite variety in voting qualifications of the various states.” It is very plain that the southern states can regulate this matter to suit themselves. Mistakes. It is a mistake to labor when you are not in a fit condition to do so. To sleep exposed to a drect draft at any season. To think that the more a person eats, the healthier he will become. To conclude that the smallest room in the house is large enough to sleep COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Council llooM, Dec. 9, 18.3 Council met in regular session, Mi Hopkins presiding.

Citizen George Francis Train when in Boston recently was surrounded by a crown in a hotel corridor when he offered to bet that lie was the biggest fool in America. Nobody accepted the wager at first, but finally a man came forward and said: “I’ll take your bet, stranger, provided you are not George Francis Train.” A young man, who was said to be from Georgia, and to have walked from that state to New York, appeared in mayor Grant's office the other day, to submit plans for an elevated railway across the Atlantic ocean.
