Re sped the Jaw.
Though you may he right and an
thority against you, it is you: duty to
submit to that authority and appeal
to the majesty of the law for redress.
You cannot afford to wreck or weaken
the very foundation of your own safe
guard, even though you lose your
substance and your liberty for a sea
,-mi. Law will eventually prevail and
a swift and mighty retribution will
repay you for your patience.
U has been wittily said that “lie
who would go to law, must have a
good cause, a good purse, a good attor
ney, a good advocate, good evidence,
and a good judge and jury—and hav
j„d all these goods, unless he also has
good luck, he will stand hut a had
chance of success.” This in as, rise is
true, and its logic shoal ! warn us
against needless and hasty lawsuit-
Whatever you do, never g- 1 to law wit >
anything that may be settled with
out it. Submit rather to almost any
imposition than exhaust \otu
spirits and purse in having against
your neighbor; but the lesson and
logic contained in the humorous quo
tation above in no wis > apply to the
individual who would take the law to
liis own hand and endeavor to light
his own wrongs by means emanating
from passion and blind prejudice.
Says Wellington, “He is most to
blame who breaks the law, no matt 1 i
what the provocation may he umb t
which he acts,” and in the very act of
assuming the role of justice taking
the law in your own bands —you have
transgressed this principle, you havt
broken the law, and no matter wluit
vour provocation he, you are most to
blame, and have precluded the
sympathy of your of fellow
men which was rightly yours.
The mail who lias been injured and
seeks to redre' s bis wrong by an iudi
vidual attack oil the agre. or may
have the sentiment of bis neighbors
£ m bis behalf, but be cannot have then
moral and lawful support, and senti
merit is a smile tha‘ turns to a frown
ns quickly as a sunbeam fades from a
crevice, but moral and lawful support
abide the storm of passion and will
ride you safely into the heaven of
peace.
The law in your friend and luu no
disposition to oppress jou or uphold
oppression iigaiust you. Kyoulovr
it, obey it. anil cultivate hs p >\vci
it will all the hotter defend you and
your in to rest from incursion ; hut a
neglect or a blow from you is as a
stubt at your host friend, and will
eventually’ strip you of protection and
render you helpless against the mob.
Obey the laws of your country,
hold them in high e>teem. reverence
them as you do the laws of God
You cannot break thorn without
breaking the divine law : for Chris'
taught us to “render unto Caesai
that which is Caesar's," and “that
which is bound on earth shall he
bound in Heaven." and it is always
more easy to obey tho law than it is
to pay .t> penalties after they art
broken.
Mr It B Beppard cannot la* excelled
ns an entertainer ami instructor of cliil
dron. To lie sure he is no less s i to
adults but, that is comparatively an
easy matter to the same task with ehil
dron. For years Mr lleppard lias been
in the Sunday school work and this
difficult problem of properly entertain
ing, instructing and training children
has been hi< constant study. His
magnificent attainments in this high
art are well known to all the people of
Georgia aud his fame reaches cv*m be
yond Ins state. Mr lleppard was once
a millionaire: ho is now compara
tively a poor man and yet his interest
and zeal in the Sunday school work
were the s into then as they are now,
11 is greatest ambition when lie was
rich *ii' to impress the heart of a
a child with an ennobling truth. Mow
that his fortune is gone he maintains
the same.high ambition, and the great
ness of the man is strongly evinced ry j
his constancy and energy through a'l I
the years to this cause. Mr. K ppaid
is building monuments to himself in
the hearts of Georgia s future men j

The Toonier .and Bennett contest
for the solicit* isliip of the Brunswick
circuit will hi* fought out before the
democratic, legislators in the next
general assembly.—Wayeross 1 Icrald
Anyhow the Herald was anxious for
Mr Toonier to carry some grand juries.
Accord : to the philosophic editor of
the Bainbridgc Democrat, the happiest
people in the the world are those who
keep out of debt, out, of office, shun
notoriety, make an honest living by
honest means, follow the golden rule,
humbly serve the living God, quietly
pursue the even tenor of their way,
and neglect no opportunity of doing
good.
If the politicians of Rome do not
uit a bridle on Mr Mosley, the edit
•ess of the Georgian, a bright society
paper, or teach her politics in the
masculine gender, she will tell a whole
heap of things they do not want
known, and ruin all the political pie.
We are for you, Sister; go on and toll

the “Ring.”
Ihe address of Prof. A Moon Pound
before tho district Sunday school con
vention was pronounced by all to be
"tie of the most logical and eloquent
speeches made in Douglas for years.
Prof Pound is one of the brainy young
men of Georgia and his principles are
Christian from the foundation. South
Georgia is proud of this adopted son
and we shall endeavor to retain him
in cur affairs educational.

Grand Jury of Coffee court, with a
sharp stick. It sa; s that body “broke
the record for stinginess and adverse
progression, and scored another vist

I Dili//to Yoursvl)'and liimilij,
Any man can take a newspaper.
It is the cheapest thing he can buy.
It costs less than a postage stamp—
less than to send or receive a letter.
What good does it do you? it in
structs you and your wife, and trach
ea your children ; it comes to you ev
ery week rain or shine, calm or storm :
bringing you the best news of the
neighborhood. .No matter what hap
pens it enters your door a welcome
guest, full of sunshine, cheer and in
terest. It shortens long summer days
and enlivens long winter evenings, h
:s your adviser. \a air gossip and friend.

fho Charlton grand jury last 'Thurs
day voted on the solioitorship and
Bennett received 1(J to Toomer’s 7.
Charlton was another one of tin
counties claimed for Tooinor and the
result shows how weak is the basis
of some claims.
Now that it is clearly evident that
the grand juries of the district will
endorse Bennett, some of the papers
advocating his opponent say that
these endorsements will amount to
nothing and that the real contest will
will he made in .lie legislature. This
is laterally true but it is net probable
that, the representatives will igi: ne
entirely the wishes of the people.
: and bes lies, JU. Bennett
! "'ill make just as g „h 1 showing before
• legislators as his opponent, and
the present aspov. of the race gives
us good reasons to predict Mr. Ben
nett's success.
A TURKISH CEMETERY.
City of Mar?/? * Shafts I the .Shadow* of
Cyprcs Trees.
“Aral why do the Osmanli preh ’
Scutari a.s a burial place to any oth
er? ’ ’
“Because it is thorn the trumpet
of the archangel will ho first he ard,
'j ho true believers who 3io at. Scu
tari will first; rise to answer it;
next, the faithful from other pa rts of
the earth; after that the Hebrews,
and lastly the giaours who follow
other gods.”
* Tims spoke the grave old turban
od Turk who stood beneath a cy
press tree on the slopes of the world
famed cemetery of the sea of Mar
mora.
“All know,” ho went on in calm,
judicial accents, “that when the last
days of the world are drawing ; ur,
the Osmanli will ho driven .forth
from H'.amboul by the Frank. Then,
for a space, there will ho trouble
and turmoil on the earth; all sons
of the faithful will fly up to Scutari
as a refuge; there they, the living
arid the dead alike,'will await the
day of judgment.”
With that, thinking it was a hurt
to liis dignity to parley longer with
a giaour, ho gathered his robes
about him, saluted majestically,
then passed slowly away down one
of the long, broad avenues, leading
to the gates of the cemetery, leav
ing ' tho stranger to wander at bis
pleasure through that forest of tall
tombstones standing erect.
The coup d’ceil is pictnresquo in
the extreme. As far as one can see,
tbo long slender shafts of marble
riso beneath the shadow of tho'nfa.s
sive cypress—the tree of Allah, tho
Osmanli call it—which points its fin
ger to the sky, while tho luxuriant
vegetation of tho cast clusters
around the base of the slabs, cm
])] uisizing thoir snowy whiten.; and
preventing them from being too daz
zling to the eye.
Each tomb hears its own decora
tion. A single leallct, the drooping
petals of a rose, or graceful frond of
fern indicate that a female form lies
below. A turban or a fez shows that
the dead person was a man. Lamps,
ostrich eggs, sashes, fringed and
colored handkerchiefs of varh dime,
all have their own significance;
white here and there will ho scon
some tall atone, sculptured i'ro;n
end to end, its ornamentation in
high relief, encircled by a number
of smaller ones, which proves that
tho father of a family—a man of
wealth—rests hero surrounded by
bis wives and children. A curved
soimiter shows that a man of war
reposes there; an anchor marks the
sleeping placo of a sailor; a wand of
office proves that tho dead man held
some post of command. So on, till
something is learned of all, oven
though ono may not he able to de
cipher the fantastic Arabic charac
ters which tell with more detail the
history of the dead.
The terms in which tho Turk ex
presses his lamentations nro often
very pathetic, especially when they
refer to tho loss of his wife or child.
Hero is one, taken from tho tomb
of a young girl, whjeh effectually
combats tho common western delu
sion that the Osmanli believe that
women nro horn without souls or
hope of a future life:
.“Tho cold blasts of fate caused
this nightingale towing its way to
heaven. There it has found its;; wait
ed bliss. Zeinab is tho name of her
who lies below, and for her Lababa,
who wrote these lines, oilers hum
ble petition. Weep not for h r, f r
though dead slio lias become a so
journer in tbo gardens of paradise.”
—St. Paul's.
She Laid tho Groschon,
A lovely story is fold of the broth
ers Grimm, the famous fairy tala
writers. One day a wee girl rang the
boll nml asked to see Air. Grimm.
When ushered into his presence, she
asked t
“Yen are the Mr. Grimm who
writes tho pretty tales?”
“ Yus, I and my brother.”
“And that of the clover little tai
lor who married the princess?”
“Yes. certainly.”
“Well,” said the child, producing
tho book, “it is said there that every
one who doesn't-believe it must pay
the thaler. Now, I don’t believe that
a princess ever married a tailor. I
haven't, so much as a thaler, but here
is a grosoben, and please say I hope
to pay the rest by degrees.”
Just then Jacob came in and they
tried together to convince the little
dame that it was only a tale, but she
had the courage of her convictions
and nothing could induce her to re
ceive tho money back. The two
brothers lot her go, much amused by
the interview.
I'ncousciou* lluuior.
A simple peasant woman, having
come to town on a market day. saw
the newsman coming along the
street and hailed him as he passed,
“Are those Tribunes you are selling
there, friend?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Then let me have ten copies: they
are for my sou: he won’t be aide to
get to town for ten days, and lie
must have something to read any
how. ”
