He then announced his themA “The Dignity and Honor of Labor/* which was treated with a magnificence ' eloquence and splendor of imag ery and depth of logic never surpass ed in the annals of Franklin college. Indeed, it is doubtful if any man in Georgia could equal it. Round on round of applause greeted the great orator, and when he pronounced the eulogy upon Judge Lumpkin and the Cobbs the effect was in the highest degree thrilling. Tour reporter has never seen an audience so completely under the sway of any speaker. Mr. Stephens ‘sat upon the and was the first to congratulate t&d orator. Mr. Stephens speaks to-mor row.

Just as the star of the prince imperial was rising to the zenith like a flash from Heaven it fells to the ground. Just as he was gathering the hopes of empire the assegai of the savage hurls him to the 'dust: Born on the steps of a throne, afnid the blazing of bdn- fin s and congratulations of kings, Ibe fell in the jungles of an African wil derness, without a friend to close his eyes. Born to rule over thirty mill ions ot people, he was deserted by all and went into the chill of death with out the pressure of a friendly hand. Although royalty carried flowers to deck his bier, and princes were his rs—and laurelled marshals by his coffin, and cabinet minis ters bowed their heads, and his emor- ess mother dung over him in tin ago ny of grief—alas 1 the glory of his life had passed, and out of the midst of sorrowing friends, his spirit floated Iway on angels’ wings leaving nothing to earth but a crimson memory.’’ The orator paid the following glow ing tribute to Georgia: “Come, spirit of our empire state; come from your rivers that seek the sea—from the waves that wash your shores and run up to kiss your sands. Coma from the air that floats over mountains tops. Come from the ?£ Iakes where the pearls lie bid, and cover where the gems are sleep ing;’’ Come, spirit of a glorious an cestry, from beyond the cedars and the stars.

Sain ting the Bride. Detroit Free Press. There was a marriage at the upper end of the Detroit, Lqnsing «fc North- era Railroad the other day. A great big chap, almost able to throw a car load of lumber off the track, fell in love with a widow who was cooking for the hands in a saw-mill, and after a week’s acquaintance they were mar ried. The boys around the mill lent William three calico shirts, a dress coat and a pair of white pants, and chipped in a purse of about twenty dollars, and the conple started for Detroit, on a bridal tour with an hour after being married. - ‘(This ’ere lady,’’ explained Will iam as the conductor came along for tickets, “are my bride. Just spliced fifty-six minutes ago. Cost two dol« lars, bnt durmthe cost. She’s a lily of the valley, Mary is, and I’m, the right bower in a new pack of keerds. Conductor sa-luie the bride!” The conductor hesitated. The wid ow had freckles and wrinkles and a tnrnsnp nose, and kissing the bride was no gratiffcaricn, . j “Conductor, sa-lute the bride or look out' for tornadoes l* continued William as he rose up and shed his odat"’’ f The conductor sainted. It was the best thing he could do just then. “I never did try to put on style he- fore,* muttered William, “but Fm' bound to see this thing through if I have to fight ill Michigan. These ’ere passengers has got to come np to the chalk, they has?* ’ . 11 The car was foil. -William walked 1 down the aisle, waved his hand to command attention and roid: “jtyrejast been, piarried, and over thar* sou. the bride. Anybody who Wants to sa-lute the bride can do 1 scy now. 1 Anybody who don’t want to, will have cause to.ithink ttyat a tree fell on him!” One by one the men walked up and kissed the widow until only one was left. He was— asleep; William reached over and lifted him into sits ting position at one movement, and commanded: , : * “Af ye goin’ to dust over thar and kiss the bride?” - 1 ! »'• '«•*• •”« ’ ■“Blast yonr bride, and you, too,’’ growled the passenger. .

We tyave read nothiag for a long time whiclr We have thought of so often. It expresses what we had not con 4 * etired before seeing if fe! this form. The condemnation of the Jews and their cry of “ewretfy-him,” the ar raignment before Pilate, taej’tyuffet- tings of the Roman soldiery, the last utterances upon the cross and the dy- irfg cry are tearfully femiliai to hs all; bnt that weight of his great mission bore upon him with sndi magnitude that he come prematurely gray awak ens a new thrall of compassion with- in ijs. . _ ’ . It Is safe to say that no reliance can be placed on any of the descrip tions of Christ’s personal appearance that have come down to us. The declaration oi Irenasus is based on the remotest heresay testimony, and there is not a syllable from any one who saw him, or even from one who had conversed with one who had seen him. The gospels give us not the slightest hint, the apostles give us no description of him, and the writings of the apostic fathers are silent on the subject. As soon as a hundred years after his death, so folly had all tradi tion of his appearance died out, that u controversy arose as to whether he was fair or ogly—some taking the one view and some the other. Justin Martyr, Tertullian an£ Cyril took the ground that he was practically ngly —in feet, some declared Him the ng-i liestot men—giving a literal inter pretation to the passage which de clares that he had no “form of come liness” and no “beauty that we should desire Him.” Ambrose, Jerome, and others took the opposite view and de clared him to have bear the most beautiful of mankind. ‘Hie feet that the early fathers take exactly oppo site sides of the question seems to prove conclusively that there was no correct knowlege and no authentic tradition even m their times.
