A NOTE I, FEATtUE
Presents itself to those who use
Parker’s Hair BeJsam, in tlie discovery
of its rare and remarkable merits.
Many have written us expressing their
delight in the fact that it works like a
charm. Its disinfectant properties in
chemical combination rendering it
healthful, cleansing and healing are
bearing fruit, and the beautiful hair it
produces, with the clean, healthy scalp,
entirely freed from Dandruff and fal
ling hair, are achievements for which
we have reason to feel proud. A
patron assures us that lie has used
twelve different Hair Preparations and
that Parker’s Hair Balsam surpasses
them all. To hair that has become
than lovers of God, without hope aud
without God in the world. The true
believer is admonished of their hostil
ity to Christ and required to come out
from among them and renounce their
friendship as being enruity with-God.
The Scriptures deelare that there
will be a general judgment at which
those who shall have continued impen
itent and unbelieving through life, will
be recongized in their true character
and consigned to eternal punishment.
For God shall bring every work into
judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it he good or whether it he
evil God hath appointed a day in
which He will judge the world in
in righteousness by this man whom He
hath ordained. Every one shall give
an account Ip God for himself, and as
it is appointed to man once to die and'
after death the judgment. The judg
ment which the Scriptures disclose is
to occur after death, and embrace the
whole of mankind. Every one of us
shall then stand before the judgment
seat of Christ and give an account of
himself to God. The hour is coming
in which all that are in the grave shall
hear His voice and shall come forth ;
they that have done good to the resur
rection of life, aud those that have
done evil to the resurrection of dam
nation. Then shall the King say unto
them on the right hand, come ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared tor you from the
foundation of the world. Then shall
He say to them on the left hand de

Lf “the Lord and the glory of His pow

and liis image, and receive his mark in
his forehead or in his hand, the same

of God which poured out without mix

afraid it will not be safe for me to
go home,) I bowed and smiled in my
blandest manner. But it shall go
down to history that I did not “go
up the canal.” It will, of course, be
impossible in a letter to even touch
on all objects which would interest
a stranger in this most beautiful city
which sits in calm dignity,embowered
amid her trees on the banks of the
Savannah. I shall devote the space
to three—only asking, perhaps, the
priveligc of digressing into some bye
ways whence I rnay gather sheafs of
wheat which may be made useful to
your own charming place. Augusta
has had for several years public
schools, where the ycung of all classes
are prepared for usefulness in after
life. Hundieds of children have here
the opportunity which is almost
unknown in your place. Her children
have at least afforded to them, by
munificence of tlife city, the
chance t6' procure the rudiments
of an education, and that far
better piepaies them for citizen
ship. I find few gamins, loafers
arabs among the boys here. While
a bird’s eye view ot’lhe banks of the
Oconee or of your street corners on
any day, will show numbers whose
tongues are filled even now’ with
most positive and unequivocal declara
tion of God’s word be honestly and safely
set aside? Is that system which pro
poses to do so worthy of your confi
dence? Especially is it becoming a
wise and prudent, intelligent man to
entrust his eternal welfare to the com
mon resort of wicked, licentious infi
del? if so, the writer does not know
what prudence, common sense or
Scripture means. Could Dives and
Lazarus have been in the same place
during the conversation which passed
between him and Abraham ? If so
the writer cannot distinguish truth
from error, or the meaning of one
sentence from another.

Augusta, Ga., April 20, 1878.
Dear Banner : I promised in uiy
last to favor you with a letter in
reference to Augusta and some inter
ests of tlie place which should often
be brought to the notice of the peo
ple at large and especially of your
citizens. This, Augusta will not do
for herself, but sits in modesty half
hidden by trees as if deprecating too
close inspection by visitors. Yet
bidden away in her besom, she has
charities, most magnificent, beauties,
most exquisite. She has but one
and these shall go away into J weakness and that is the canal—in
everlasting punishment, but the right
eous iuto life eternal. He that be-
lieveth and is baptized shall be saved ;
he that believeth not shall be.damned
Some shall come forth to the resurrec
tion of life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt.
They that have done good shall come
forth unto the resurrection of life, and
rates. Gitc me » cull.

it is unpardonable for any one lo tail
to go up the “canal.” I had deter
mined to resent instantly any sugges
tions to that effect. A charming
lady (by the way I don’t know ex
actly about giving that a place—it
may cresite a spirit of inquiry in
certain quarters, but l will risk it,)
asked me if I bad been “up the ennui,”
I told her uo— but I had been up
“ Salt River’’ several times A look of
imdiscribable, > yet gentle pity over
spread her sweet face (I know I will
get into trouble), as she discanled
'on the beauties there to be seen, and
also the useful features of this splen-
or did structure. To avokLdiscossion

wind—you will reap the whirl wind.”
With the wealth, the general intelli
gence the pride of your place, it
seems inexcusable that this matter
should have been so utterly neglected,
and the children of the poor grow
up in the profounde^t ignorance. I
know’ yon had a free school presented
by Mr. R. L. Bloomfield. But the
roof, burned off several years ago*
was never repaired, and I notice by
your paper that the city council has
recently returned it to the University.
I know that the county does the best
it can—and pays a small amount
monthly for the education of your
poor children. But Athens with her
boasted refinement, her great wealth,
has done nothing. The good Lord
is very merciful, and it needs it all to
prosper, a place that utterly neg
lects to feed His lambs. I understand
several years ago that Doctor Baxter
offered to donate a lot on which (o
erect a boys’ school; can you tell me
what progress the structure has made?
A Young Men’s Library has been re
cently organized. It is, I learn, doing
well. Mr. Derry (he of St. James
Sunday School) the Librarian”, informs
me that dozens of young men, many
of whom have no home' influences,
spend their evenings, from 7 to 10, at
this place. Some who have had no
other opportunities are actually educa
ting themselves in the Library. Dur
ing your reporter’s visit fifteen oj
twenty young men have been present
during the day, most of them readiug
useful books. Where would the
young men be if debarred from this
place? For answer, send a runner to
the various saloons and bar-rooms
fully proportioned structure In the
midst of grounds tastefully laid cut.
Beautiful evergreens, ju9t putting ®»
the fresher green of spring, grace the
foreground, while flowers of every
kind and hue greet the senses with
their commingled perfume. The
grounds are beautifully kepi by the
larger boys, and the interior of the
house, perfectly adapted to its uses,
was in a slate of wonderful cleanli -
ness, this duty being attended to by
the girls. Every piece of brass was as
bright as could be, and the floors were
free from a trace ot dust. The beds
of the children are in large aud well
ventilated rooms, and every arrange
ment has been made for the comfort
and health of the children. They are
kept regularly at school—details of
boys and girls perform the labor on
the grounds aud through the house.
The most efficient Matron, Mrs. Mc-
Kinnie has i ' operation classes in
cooking, sewing and other household
duties, so that when thegirlsave called
on to leave this home they go pre
pared for entering actively and intelU
gently on the duties of life. A Sab
bath school under charge of the Y. M.
C. A. is held every Habbath. The
children are regularly at Divine ser
vice and every attention is paid to
their n oral as well as intoHeetiifd
training. In 1852 this Institution was
organized, but seme time elapsed be
fore it was actively at work, notwith
standing the dilligcni efforts -f many
gentlemen, but especially Mr. Thos,
W. Miller. Tn 1855 Mr. Isaac S.

infancy. In 1859, Dr. Gorge M. New

left the institution property amount
ing to 8200,000. In 1873, the pres
ent building was occupied. In 1S77,
the entire assets amounted to $392,-
784,69. It is governed by a board
of Directors, Rev. W. H. Clark, late

and spiritual life which seems to per

The portraits of Mr. Tuttle, Dr New
ton and Mr. Clark, appropriately
adorn the parlor. I should never »
tire on this subject, but I must reflect
that there are other people who are
interested. The w orld ea Is such a
thing a charity; never was there a
greater mis—nomer ; it is an invest*
ment that pays more than cent pi r
cent. Not perhaps in filthy lucre,
hut in hundreds of children raised to
lives of usefulness, hundreds rescued
ftoni a fato worse than death and
placed in positions where they may
bless their land by their lives. Moie
than that, this training leads them to
