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 part from me ye cursed iuto everlast ing tire prepared ifor the devil and his angel Lf “the Lord and the glory of His pow er.* If any man worship the beast and liis image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which poured out without mix ture into tise cup of his indignation aud he be tormented with fire and brimstone fo the presence of the holy a ~ the raent a«*f 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. C. H. Andrew. C ommunicated. 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.

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 v*\J 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. Tuttle donated the house in which he lived and other property f.,tbem I tm the amount of $50,000 to ;, )V ^ 0 y [c^rprise. , This amoin#, addeiTto 200 "Scorgi^Rnilro ini my for the wants of the institution in’its infancy. In 1859, Dr. Gorge M. New ton, step soil and heir of Mr. Tuttle 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 Rector of St. Pauls chnrc" was ! b<> - president, and lias left the imp! • ss 6f his own beautiful life in the t {tufoi flower garde?! and tlie deep i< ILious and spiritual life which seems to per vade the whole building. Your res porter would give a world, if his, to* leave behind him stub a monmnei.t of boundles-i love as that man lias. 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.
