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.

Wayeross, you can get any-thing of ours you want. Gen. Clement A . Evans Will he the orator of Memori and day in Brunswick. In our opinion Gen. E"a:.s is the no blest Roman of them all. Brunswick will listen to a treat. In a very eulogistic edi'orial of Hon. JL G. Turner, the Telfair Enterprise says lie s the best posted man in con gress from the south.

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 it out. Let us hear some more about 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. 1 he Douglas Breeze is after the late 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 ory for stupidity and parsimony.” better look out, Broth r (beer, that jury will break your hack, and that's worse than a broken record. —Way toss Journal.

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.

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.
