Atlanta, Ga., July 3L—[Special.]—
Tqrday was one of those quiet hind of
da* in the bouse on which .nothing
unusual comes up to disturb the con
vention iu which for tbe greater part
of the time, most of the members are
engaged. -
The regular routine work was con
ducted as usual without any excite

The house unanimously passed a reso
lution tendering their sincere sympa

of Fulton introduced the resolution.
The introduction of bills came first.
Mr. Boifeuillet got in an important

TO' ADJOURN SEPTEMBER 1ST.
Capt. Seay of Floyd, by unanimous
consent introduced the following reso
lution :
Resolyed, by the House, the Senate
concurring, that the General Assembly
do adjourn “sine die” on the first day
of September 1891.
Some wanted to adopt the resolution
at once, bat it was on motion sent to
the committee on rules.
THE ATHENS DISPENSARY.
The Athens dispensary bill was in
troduced by Col Morton today.
It is of interest just at this time, al
though a local measure, ou account of
the general legislation now-before tbe
House on that line.
The provisions of the establishment
of this dispensary are somewhat differ
ent from those in Mr. Martin’s general
bill, which provides that dispensaries in
those counties which hereafter go dry
shall sell liquor only for medicinal
scientific or mechanical purposes. This
act has no such provision,
However, no students of the Univer
sity can purchase intoxicants under this
bill, and no one can buy for tbe pur
pose of furnishing or selling to another
The stock is to be furnished by funds
from the public treasury of Athens, and
is to be paid back by the revenue from
the sale of the goods.
TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Dr. Chappell wants the constitution
amended, so that the public debt can be
increased for the purpose of paying the
pensions of confederate soldiers and
their widows. As it stands now a loan
for such* purpose would be unconsti
tutional, 8<fbe proposes to amend if,
and to leave the matter to a vote of the
people at the next general election, or
members of the general assembly.
THE LEGISLATIVE SOLONS.
It is in a new room that I have been
sick, and tbe walls have only that finish
that is of a pretty 'chocolate color, bnt
which is more or less mottled by tbe artist-
plasterer adding new mortar to float it
welL There are shades of the biown, not
very noticeable, allovertthe ceiling; light,
lighter, and dark,—and in noticing it for
tbe first time, it struck me as representing
the lights and shadows of life.
In two opposite corners were places
quite clear; no discoloration whatever ob
taining there; only, one clear apace was
small, while tbe opposite one wss smooth
and beautifully clear for a .considerable
distance.
This is like life, I thought.
That small, clear space represents the
beginning—tbe larger, tbe end, of life.
In the beginning there is parity for a
while, but how soon the heritage of sin
creeps in! It is born there, and begins to
assert itself just as soon as the child knows
right from wrong; it is then the straggle
begins.
Here the mottling on tbe wall is light
There is a sunny childhood, broken only
by childish grievance; an indulged and
humored child who needed a firm hand to
guide and control Perhaps bad the firm
band been there, the shadows on tbe wall
might not have beeu so thick.
School-life succeeds childhood, and tbe
shadows are lightest now; all is bright.
. The years run by with joy, leaving add
ed stature, added mental and physical
strength, and added capacity for rejoicing
and griev ing. Soul ana sense are ke
pace with flying years.
Then comes graduation from school.
How mottled is now the wall 1 Stepping
bravely into life under happy circumstan
ces is darkened by the separation from
frieuds. There is the class of many mem
bers, some grave and sedate, otheis
hearted and gay, but all congenial,
hard to part with each other. Many an
incident has occurred to bind them togeth
er ; some naughty things, too, like tbe fol
lowing : ■ \
In tbe senior year then was the pleasure
of s lecture from Monsieur Du Ghailln, the
African traveller. He talked fluently, and
claimed the attention of an enthusiastic
audience by recounting hairbreadth ad
ventures with gorillas, tigers, and numer
ous jungle attractions.
The lecture was delivered the hour pre
ceding tbe recitation of the advanced *
man class, which occurred the last thing
in the evening.
Two fun-loving members of that dags
put their naughty beads together to con
clude that it was tbe best possible chance
to skip German, and go down town for
caramels.
Quickly leaving the room with the priv.
ilege of seniors, when bells tinkled for
classes after tbe lecture, these two runa
ways werepoon flying down the street, too
rapturous, with that rapture that is half
fear, to heed the consequences; bnt, lo! t
gutters 1 voice from tbe fourth story cailed.

two hundred young men gave similar tea.
tiniony. It wasan impressive sight when
almost the entire number, rising to tbeir
feet, acknowledged tbe wonderful power
of tbe religious instruction aud example of
tbeir Christian mothers.
A student in Yale College said, “Many
time when I have been strongly tempted
to a wrong course of conduct, the thought
of my loving Christian mother has kept me
from yieldiog to the temptation.” And a
theological student said to ‘a'friend, “that
tbe thought of his mother’s daily interces
sions for him, was such asttmulous and
help to him in bis studies as words could
not express.” Dr. Cuyler says: T doubt
if I ever would have been drawn to the
service of Christ, but for tbe faithfulness
of that home-preacher who rocked my
cradle.” *"
And when the late Dr. Potts ooce asked
the students of Princeton Theological
Seminary who had playing mothers to
rise, nearly the whole hundred and fifty
rose to their Test.

CLERGY DEFEATED.
Zion’s Herald., commenting on the elec
tion, says tbe People’s Municipal Lt-agne,
with their Republican and Democratic al
lies, were overwhelmingly defeated in New
York City, notwithstanding the clergy
took a prominent part in tbe campaign
and they had reason to count on a decided
majority. It looks like preachers in this
country would learn after awhile that tbeh
active participation in a political cam
paign is an element of weakness and not of
strength. They weaken both themselves
and tbe cause they espouse by such promi
nence in politics. And this fact is a com
pliment to tbe people and to tbeir high ap
preciation of the gospel and the gospel
ministry. It is only among the Ignorant

Elsie Holt sat in a hammock which was
hang in tbe porch of her father’s country
house. The afternoon was warm; the
shadows of the clouds drifted lazily over
the fields. Elsie’s brignt face wore an ex
pression of discontent, for the dressmaker
nad failed to send home her new gown,
and the last pages were missing in tbe soil
ed paper novel which she held. She yawn
ed drearily.
“How tiresome and dull the world is 1”
she said.
Overhead a pair of birds were twittering
near their nest. They had just come from
the far ckiutn. The story of their lives
their habits, tbeir wanderings, their ene
mies was more curious that! any novel ever
written. Elsie knew nothing of it. Their
calls, their love-songs, their cry of warn
ing, their lullabya over their young had no
more meaning to her than the rattle ot
Bticks together.
The woods were foil of these marvelous
winged creatures, each with its history,
which she might have read. She was
blind to them all.
Close at hand grew countless great trees
each of which had its laws of life. There
was not a weed or a blade of grass which
had not some peculiar wonderful fact to
tell, of interest and strange significance.
To Elsie they were dumb.
Below the grass the great earth lay,
with mystic meanings written on eacu
stratum of clay and rock. The meanings
were plain, so that be who ran niLht real.
Elsie did not know one letter of their al
phabet.
A common plant grew below the ham
mock; her foot crashed it as she swung to
and tro. Tuere was a powerful micro
scope in tbe boose. If she had examined
tbe plant through it,she would have seen
upon each leaf a tairy forest of plumy
growths and, creeping through it, tiny
creatures which no eye had ever yet dis
covered, violet and red and golden. Here
one shone with an emerald light; here an
other twinkled with opaline hues.
Elsie saw only a dingy weed.
As evening lowered, the great trees bent
over her with a friendly calm Behind
the woods the lights of the village shone.
In every one of its poor houses were hu
man lives, some of them bare, strained,
crashed lives, full of pathos and meaning
into whieb she could have brought hope
and cheer.
Overhead the stars came out, A returns,
which brought to Job its message from
God, aud the other distant orbs that have
told to listening souls, in ail ages since, the
eternal truths of faith and love.
Bnt Elsie saw and beard nothing.
Her new gown was not finished; the
last page was lost from ber cheap novel!
Therefore she sighed, “How dull and

The easiest and surest method of war
fare is to dip these twigs with their
nests fuM of eggs and burn them at any
Hma between n£w and next spring. If
left they will hatch in early spring, the
ypung caterpillars will crawl down tbe
limbs to a fork and start a little white
Silk nest, as seen at d, and from this
home go out during the bright and sonny
part of every pleasant day to pasture on
the leaves. Many may be destroyed by
burning these silk homes when they first
appear wttli a torch of paper and kero
sene fastened in a stiff wire aud attached
to a long pole. Many apple powers
have destroyed them by firing heavy
charges of powder into them from guns
or large pistols. All these remedies
must be used mornings and evenings.

Carrot* for Stork.
. A Massachusetts farmer pronounces
the carrot the best root crop for stock in
this country. Its freedom from disease
and its good keeping qualities are greatly
in its favor as an important form crop.
It is an excellent root for horses as well
as for cattle and sheep. It not only con
tains mnch nutriment itself, bnt when
ted in connection with hay. groin or fod
der—as it always should be—in small
quantities, it aids largely-in tbe diges
tion oLthe drier food, so that more of it
is assimilated and there is but little loss.
In tiie north the carrots must be harvest
ed in good season and be kept from freez
ing. bnt in tbe south they may be left in
the ground quite often through the entire
winter without injury^ Bat it is in
north they are most common and valua
ble as food for farm stock. Every farm
er should at . least raise enough for bis
own use, and' people in towns who keep
animals will find it not only useful bnt
incmichl to bny them aud use them in
’ action with dry forage.

He says, concerning the Emerald Gem
“Its superior in flavor we have never

gain by growing these later sorts merely
to get size and insipidity, when we can
plant the Emerald Gem in open ground
in its proper season and get quality,
sweetness and spiciness.”
The Emerald Gem is early; conse
quents wepanplant it confidently ex
pecting a long season of the most lus
cious melons imaginable. This variety
wpll deserves a little extea painstaking
