Success to the Macon and Northen under the Richmond Terminal Manage ment. ‘ 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 ment or unusual occurrence. The house unanimously passed a reso lution tendering their sincere sympa thy to ;their clerk, Hon. Mark A. Har den in his sad bereavement. His daugh ter' died this morning, and Mr. Martin of Fulton introduced the resolution. The introduction of bills came first. Mr. Boifeuillet got in an important bill for the regulation of banks. According to the bill all banks will be required to make a quarterly statement under oatjh. They would not be allow ed to loan to any officer of the bank without undoubted collateral. The bill is of au important Dr. Holt’s Dyspeptic Elixir cured W. A. Wright, Comp. Gen. ot State of Georgia of Dyspepsia, after having it several years in its worst form. For sale by all druggists.

NOT A WORD OF TRUTH In the that the Report That Secretary Noble Resigned. Cape May, N. J.* July 81.—The re ported resignation from the cabinet of Secretary Noble was emphatically and absolutely denied by Private Secretary- . Halford, on' behalf of the president. Sec retary Halford said: "There is not a word of trnth in it.

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. “Fraulein 1 Frunlein 1” A sly peep up ward discovered Meinherr Koch frantical ly waving his arms from tbe German rooms, bnt it was decided best not to hear him. .

Dr. Leland, who years ago wa professor in tbe Theological Seminary at Charleston, S. C., once said, that “Out of a hundred students in that institution, ninety-nine testified that their earliest re ligioua impressions came trom; the teach ings and influence of Christian mothers.” In a convention held some time since, over 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.

Their Work Was Short and Decisive Yesterday. . Atlanta, Ga., August 1.—[Special.] —There was no session of the Senate today and the House got through be fore one o’clock. A good deal of time was spent in discussing Mr. Atkinson’s motion to reconsider the vote on the Girls’ Industrial College Board of Visi tors biU. Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Berner and Mr. Whitfield favored the resolu tion. Mr. Sears and Mr. Baldwin were against it. By a vote of 68 to36tiie action of yesterday was reconsidered.

Once out into the world, the mottling on the ceiling becomes a graver subject. There is the experience of life pressing a little more heavily. Much or pleasure, somewhat of pain. Here Is romance; here is devotion, passion, love. Here is mar riage, a prize drawn in the great matrimo nial lottery, that makes a big fair spot on the wall, brightening the remainder of life; bat in the natural course of sun and shadow it is followed by dark lines. That is the death of children. And now there are deaths of others near and dear. That period of life is reached that holds more of separation than of meeting. Then there is a darker line than any; wbat is that? It is the death of a mother. Stretch out your arms, you m and cry until your latest breath, for moth er.

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 and unthinking that a preacher will be tolerated in stepping down out of the pul pit and onto the hustings in the murky at- mosphre of partisan strif; howbeit i different class of ciliens, under the ex citement of the momeut, may applaud preacher who espouses tbeir side .of heated contest.

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 tiresome is this world 1" DID THE WORK.
