Why Carnesville Should Have a New
School House.
Each week wc have several new
scholars, ami if this is to continue
what would will be the result? Why,
before many weeks shall have passed
away, we won't have room to “bat
our eyes.”
If any one thinks we are not
crowded, let him come and see about
50 pupils rise to go to their recita¬
tion. And see desks sitting so near
the stove (no other place to put them
inind yon) that turpentine boils out
of oak wood, they will be convinced
of the necessity of having more room.
Every seat is now occupied and of
course not crowded, but there is so
many desks in the house, there is not
room to pass to ami from recitation.
There are students here that have
attended the colege at Dahlonega,
the Female Seminary, at Macon,
high schools with good instruction,
and yet all say I’rof Looney is far
superior to any they have ever seen.
Without thou' explanations you
know we have a teacher unsurpassed,
and in every way worthy of a good
house.
There are students here from a
distance, who pay beard, buy their
clothing here, and in fact bring a
great deal of money to Carnesville,
and they will continue to come if
there is more room made for them.
Why not arrange to build when the
school stops for holidays, and make
room for at least fifty more students,
who will be here after Christmas.
While you have a good sehool, a
good teacher, a chance to educate
your children and build up your
town and surrounding country, show
your appreciation.

Does some angry thought pass with
rude shadow bet ween our judgment
and the truth? Do we suffer the
mind to be eclipsed by the heart? Do
any of us feel bitterly that we
have been misunderstood, misrepre¬
sented, and wronged? If so, are we
conscious of no wrong in ourselves
during the year that will soon bo
gone? Bright indeed must be the
azure of that skv in whose realms
there floats not a cloud! Have we
trusted and been betrayed, and are
we pierced by the broken reed on
which wc leaned for support? If so
let us seriously reflect whether any
has ever trod this earth that has
in some way or other betrayed a
Why, the flowers of human
would be still blooming in Eden’s
beauty, were it not that the
left the poison of his trail
the ground where they grow. Per¬
some brother human has prov¬
to be weak where we expected
to be strong. Be it so. But the
of man is the opportunity
the display of kindness from his
and the glory of life is seen
the tender tears wc shed for an¬
woe.
After all our mistakes, and many
significant figure erased from our
ledger, we may find the
error in our account to be that
we have too much ignored and slight¬
ed the genial spirit of love. It is a
something that nature implanted as
an instinct, and the Savior exalted
as a command. How pales the shad¬
ow of Nemesis on the sunny shores
where Love’s bright banner waves
and her footstep gleams. It is only
in her gardens that unwaning roses
bloom. Only in her groves are the
singing kettles of the Dodonian ora¬
cles-hung. Only in her realms over¬
bends the unclouded radiance of the
soul. In her sweet lands alone smil¬
ing above, as in the hanging gardens
of Babylon, are the flowers and the
foliage beyond the serpent’s deadly
trail. A Roman poet tells us that
she is a goddess whose reign is di¬
minished when a victim is sacrificed.
Shall we sacrifice the victim and
diminish her gentle reign in our own
poor hearts? Shall we tear her fes¬
toons of beauty from our walls, and
shatter her vases of fragrance from
the mantel-trees of home? Shall wc
deliberately walk away from the sun¬
shine into the shadow, and carry with
us not a gleam of the glory that i>
gone? (rod forbid.
Herein lies all the woe and the
heart-ache, all the trouble and the
sorrow, that shade the day our com¬
mon life—love misunderstood, love
urequited, love of God and love of
man. So the iron enters into the
soul, so memory broods in sorrow, so
hope forgets to plume her wing. So
the troubled waves roll dark and deep
over the heart that would not admit
the sunshine of love. Strange that
we forget how life with love is bot¬
tled joy at the feast, and that hate
is the silent-footed butler that ex¬
tracts the cork! Here we round to
our starting point, and to the query
with which we began. Let us not
fail to ponder it well. In the provi-
neuce of love is the dwelling of for¬
giveness. In the possibility of dis¬
appointment is the beauty of trust.
In the weakness of friends is the tri¬
umph of faith. In the gloom of the
unlit morn are hovering the splendid
glimerings that precede the sun and
herald the day. 'When Christina*
morning conies, let it not rise upon
our anger. Let not the festival time
be marred by one blot of ill feeling.
Long we have traveled together in
the dark night of earth’s sorrows
and bereavements. Let us adopt the
sweet sentiment of the poet:
“Light on the distant horizon shall
hover,
Telling that morning appears;
Let us go on till the darkness is
over,
To love thro’ eternity’* years.”
EXIT WADE HAMPTON.
It has been said that “Republics
are ungratful.” And never was that
ingratitude more clearly shown than
in the recent defeat of Wade Hamp¬
ton for United States senator by the
South Carolina legislature. To think
that the very state that led all the
rest in the act of secession would at
this time turn her back on her no¬
blest cheiftain! It is a sad commen¬
tary on the political aspects of the
times. Sin transit, gloria mundi.
