Special Correspondence Democrat.
Young people Of the t>w*sent age, are
.very apt to say to oi&er persona, who
have lived in both ages, as 'one mfiy
^say “oh/yoli oih ceopld, always invest
’-the past in a'gulden haze, that you
think that everything was better, in
your youth, while we think this is the
Inost glorious of all times.” Well there
is a gnat deal of truth in all thPi
We are each apt to think the days of
our youth, the best, the brightest in
every respect, but speaking, generally
vftlfe werTd at large, It does seem,
that there is more selfishness, more de¬
ceit, more wickedhess,than ever known
Before. It appears that we care less
for each other ; friendship is but a
parpe ; there are no “Damons and Pv
Chas’ now'; our'integrity we afe Indifferent where
onr honor, is concerned ;
oar boys perter, brassier than of yore ;
our girls, are faster, more vain of adu¬
lation, mere dolls of fashion, with no
habits of iudustry or economy about
teem, and all is passed oVer with the
excuse that “young America” is on a
boom.
‘liven in religion, has the change
made itself apparent. Forty years
ago, and farther back, our mothers
and fathers went to church for the
good they hoped to receive, and if
blessed with A revival, all business was
laid aside and every man, woman, and
‘child, went in ox-carts, in wagons, on
horse back, on foot, dressed in their
•home made dresses, with sun bonnets
•- -« T
wound his poor neighbor, by some
sneering remark, about his dress It
not; then,; as., now, when, a (certain
writer says, if a pretty young maiden
goesuptothe altar, all the deacons
rush to her. to help pray for her, but
if a poor ugly old woman-., goes up,
they barely pause Wng'enough by her
side, to hastily remark, “prey harder
sister.” KoW Nereis sOtte trtth in
thft else the thodgfit had r been i
engendered. Our preichert ’^ t<

with shoes, ties, hat ic., of the latest
mode, and many of them preach ‘an

while, looking out to see if the Holiest

he goes every tube, tthile he some
poor members, bodies lie never

them on eoileetfoti day! Oh; no, a
dollarisas acceptable if the widow’s
mite, as i^ coming from the wealthy
mans hoard. JSome exclaimed “I would
not go to preaching if I had to goat
other people’s expense.” Verji true,
and very commendable, so far, but why
is religion, so mu'ch more costly than
in oldaii days? Simply' because of
pride and fashion. The congregations
are prouder, and more fashionable. The
preaclier is prouder and more fashiona
ble, Snd it is the results, from the rap
id growth of this pride, that are to be
deplored. Every man and woman
ought to have a certain amount of
pride. It is not, that I would quarrel
with a man (prfeacher or otherwise) on
account of his |broad-cloth suit, but of
the pride of ldve of show ;and display
that may oe engendered by surrrouud
ing circumstances to such a degree,
that it may finally overpower nobler
softer emotions in the heart of that
man and mayhapa be the cause of much
misery and rain. We have all got
wrong somehow, and we all ought to
want to get right. We want more
truth, more honor, more firmness, more
love, moT3 fhafity,' more faith. We
need them in every day life, in politics,
in religion in everything. Of course,
any one with half a mind, must know,
that I am not individualizing, but only
S peaking of general ways of life as we
live. In this as in my otper, I nffean
no one mau, no one family, no one
certain preacher, no one teacher, only
of our system of managing the whole
problem ofjlife. Still, as said before,
we are off the track somewhere. We
are fast losing our love for our friends,
our sympathy for the afflicted, our pity
for the unfortunate, our chairity for
toe ftrring, our reference proVity fol*$<xbdliness,
our respect for tmth, and hon¬

that He is not only an available man,
but ode who is likely to secure the

the Republican ranks is working harder
for the nomination than John Logan,
of Illinois, but he is handicapped in
the race by Secretary Lincoln. If

President Arthur, the members of
his Cabinet, and others, prominent in
political and social life, ha'’e succeeded
in making this the gayest and most

Mr. Frank Joseph, lives at 2lf. Jones
street, Atlanta, and has a promising about boy
of six summers. When the boy was
three years of age, a peculiar swelling WiW
discovered on Ins neck. ,Carious liniments,
poultices, etc. were applied without a per¬
ceptible effect. The -wallings increased,
although internal and external remedies
were used continually. Becoming alarmed,
a physician was called in who at once pro¬
nounced it a genuine case of well develop¬
ed scrofula. He used all the various rem¬
edies usually resorted t" by the medical
profession In -ueh tii-ea-es,but other glands
became affected, and final I v they discharg¬ slough
ed large quantities of matter. and
ing of the parts presented a ghastly sight.
The boy became and qiiitc ible feeble to walk. arid greatly During
emaciated, un condition be¬
a period of over two years bis

for and treated, and was also treated at
New Medical college for three months, yet
his condition steadily grew ibirkcuiousescape worse.
Now comes the almost
of this lad. liis eyesight was restored,the,
hair stopped falling the off,.the horrible glandular ulcerated
swelling healed,.the subsided, whole system
