Agent, It is admitted as a universal fact that all things are preserved by their mutations. Scarcely a gener ation has succeeded another be fore some event anomalous in its character excites the fears and prophecies of the credulous, forget ting that the wisest man the world ever knew has written by inspira tion: “There is nothing new under the sun.” “Recent events” have bestirred the minds ahd aroused the fears of the South and North west. The tremulous earth, the agitated heavens are no new oc- ourencies, but they have come in such destructive form, as to impress the mind with their fearful grand eur. Cyclones, comparatively of rare occurrence in the higher lati tudes have swept in terrible fury through the South and Northwest. Anyone, who has ever seen the ordinary whirl-wind has a cyclone in miniature. The reason for the alarm has been the fatality attend ing these storms and the unpre pared condition of families and oth ers. Some are of the opinion, that storm puts should not be dug, say ing: “The will of the Lordibedone,” when the scripture sayeth. “He willeth not the death of any.” If any person should immerse their heads in water, and not emerge them, he would surely drown. If any person knows not how to swim and voluntarily leaps into water beyond his depth, he will surely drown. And yet there are some, who will comfort themselves by saying: “The will of the Lord be done.” “If any man build his house upon the sand, when the rain de scends and the floods come and the winds blow and beat upon that house, it will fall and great will be the fall of it.” When the spirit of the storm is aroused and the light ning sends forth its herald into the storm clouds and when the bending together of the clouds shakes the pillars of the universe with its tre mendous roar and the clash of re sounding strife rings in our ears, why are we so frightened if “The will of the Lord be done” and since “He willeth not the death of any.” When the mighty Master comes forth to battle and rides around the ethereal dome in all his majesty, wheeled by the whir winds and when the upper regions of space echo with the the clash of clouds, why do we and the mighty of the earth tremble. It is said that Franklin made a league and enter ed into amicable negotations with electricity. Peace was settled be tween them, the dark storm’of ele mental war rolled away and the universal rain how unfurled its gorgeous colors upon the bosom of the clouds and proclaimed that that there “Should be seed time and harvest to the end of the world. Nothing displays the omnipotence of God so magnificently as fire. Well might the ancients suppose it constituted the soul, for they are similar in their operation.— The soul pervades every portion of the human body, and fire exists in every particle of nature. Like the soul it is latent in most supstanees, We see it in all its ter- riffic sublimity in electric storms. Like the soul, we see it in one in stance as a slave and in another as the master of the world. As the soul is the center of motion ;to the human body, so is the burning suns to the solar system. When the soul ceases to move, the body is motionless. Should the diurnal motion of the sun cease, the motion of the earth would cease also, and should the earth cease to move, it would fall into the sun, and feed that central flame. We dwell up on the surface of the earth, while an ocean of fire rolls beneath our feet. In the great center of the globe, the vulcan forge is at work. How dreadful must be an earth quake, when we are told by Pliny, that twelve cities in Asia Minor, were swallowed up in one night 5 they were lost in the tremendous chasm forever; not a vestige re mained. Millions of human beings have been swallowed up, while fly ing for safety. Wonders are being performed within the earth at the Janie time the mighty concave aboveus is fired with lightening, Tlie thunders roll above our heads; be neath our feet where the eye of man never penetrated it still re sounds. In the vast vortex of vol canoes, the mineral forge empties its lava. The roar of Etna has been the knell of thousands, when it poured forth its cataract of fire ov er one of the fairest portions of the earth and swept into ruin ages of industry. The shock of an earth quake has been recently felt in En gland. It created a general conster nation, the shock was so severe that walls of houses were percepti bly shaken-, plates were rattled and bells were rang. The concussion lasted only a half a minute. But this is no new occurrence, for the first great earthquake on record oc curred 373, B. C. Sixty-one earth quakes have occured on the coast of Chili. The creaking and rattling of the houses, the wildness and ter ror of the awe stricken inhabitants rushing in confusion from their dwellings give to the whole scene that indescribable horror which at tend the phenomenon of earthquakes. W e know of no spectacle so well calcu lated to teach human humili ation and convince us of the utter fragility of the proudest monuments of art, as the relics which remind us of vast populations, that have pas sed from the earth, and the empires that have crumbled into ruin.— We read upon the ruin of the past, the fate of the present. We feel as if the cities of men were built on foundations beneath which the earthquake slept; that we abide in the midst of the same doom, which has already swallowed so much of the records of mortal magnifi cence. Under such emotions we look on all human power as founda tionless, and view the proudest, na tions of the present as covered only with the the. mass of their desola tion. “All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body nature is, and God the soul.” The monarchical governments of all Europe are shaken to their cen ter on account of dissatisfaction of the common populace. If it be true, that the vox populi is the vox dei, then the eastern world will be a scene of blood. The people have received information from their friends, that from this free and in dependent country, the liberties in trusted to the free will of American citizens, until no crowned head in all Europe is safe upon his throne. Nihilism prevails in Russia and shakes to its center the boasted government of the Czar. Egypt, with her every memorable Nile has recently been involved in civil war. England, the mistress of the world interfered in behalf of her own possessions and forced to send an available army to check the onward progress of the invader. Mexico, restive under her own republican goverment, will soon become a ter ritory of our otvn beloved country, India restive under the English rule must soon be reconquered or England will lose one of her stron gest allies. Religiously the world is at strife on minor points of doctrine. Civlization has made ics advancement. Missionaries are be ing sent every quarter of the globe. To the Fegce Islands, South Ameri ca, Africa, Madagascar, China, Italy, the seat of the Pope, all have de- claimers of the Orthodox religions of the day; and the name of the Redeemer of world is publish ed iu almost every land. And yet inhostile, array stand tne advocates of peace. The world looks on awe struck at the differences of opinions entertained by the professors of this peaceful religion. They would move, but they know not which way is right. Zealots are pushing forward their claims; and if the history of. the past, be any criterion of what is to come, these great dif- ferencies can only be settled by vi et armis. We hope not how'ever. Enlightened opinions may prevail, and the world be brought to an ami cable adjustment of all discrepan cies and unite one common brother hood. Let this be the motto of every Christian man; “For forms of faith let senseless bigots light, lie cant be wrong whose life is in the right.” Stick To It And Do It Set a stout heart to a steep hill, and the wagon will get to the top of it. There’s nothing so hard but a harder thing will get through it; a strong job can be managed by a strong resolution. Have at and have it, stick to it and succeed. Till a thing is done, men wonder that you think it can be done, and when you have done it, they wonder it was never done before. In my picture the wagon is drawn by two horses; but I would have ev ery man who wants to make his way in life pull as if all depended on himself. Very little is done right when it is left to other people. The more hands to do work the less there is done. One man will carry two pails of water for himself; two men will only carry on® pail be tween them, and three will come home with never a drop at all. A child with several mothers will die before he runs along. Know your business and give your mind to it and you will find a buttered loaf where a sluggard loses his last crust. In these times it’s no use being a far- met if you don’t mean work. The days are gone by for a gentlemen to make a fortune off of a farm by going out shooting half the time. If foreign wheats keep on coming farmers will jsoon learn that— “He who by the plow would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive,” Fight your own battles, hoe your own row, and ask no favors of any one, and you will succeed a thous and times better than those who are always beseeching some one,s patronage. Maxims to Guide a Young Man Keep good company or none. Never be.idle. If your hands can not be usefully employed, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the truth. Make few promises. Live up to all your engagements Have no very intimate friends Keep your own secrets, if you have any. When you speak to a person look him in the face. Good company and good conver sation are the very sinews of virt ue. Good character is above all,things else. Never listen to 'any loose or infi del conversation. Your character cannot he essen tially injured except by your own acts. If auy one speaks evil of you, let your life be such that none will be lieve him. Drink no kind of intoxicating li quors. Ever live, misfortune excepted within your income. When you retire to bed think 0 ver what you have been doing du ring the day. Never speak lightly of religion Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper. Small and steady gains give com petency with tranquility of mind Never play at any kind of game or chance. Avoid temptation, through fear that you may not withstand it. Earn money before you spend it, Never run in debt unless you see away to get out again. Never borrow, if you can possi bly avoid it. Do not marry until you are able to support a wife. Never sperk evil of any one. Be just before you are generous Keep yourself innocent if you would be happy. Save when you are young, spend when you are old. Never think that which you, do for religion is time or mony rqis spent. Always go to a place of worship When you can. Often think of death aud your ac countability to God. Republican Revolt. The nomination of Blaine for President has occasioned a serious revolt among the Republicans. The Independent Republicans desire to have a conference and put out a ticket composed of Edmunds and Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt, the leader of the Republican party in New York, says, ‘‘Under no circum stances will he support Mr. Blaine.” Andrew I. Draper, of New York* says New Jersey will go democrat ic and that Blaine’s defeat is a foregone conclusion. Mr. George William Curtis says, “I do not believe Blaine can poll the Independent Republican vote.” The Massachusetts Reform Club denounces the nomination. The revolt among the Republican press is conspicuous. The Chicago News, of large circulation, is un changed in its opinion of the unfit ness of Blaine. The Chicago Times says the nom ination of Blaine places the Repub lic in peril. The Buffalo Express says that Mr. Blaine’s character has been so blackened that his election is a for lorn hope. The New York Times, a leading Republican paper, predicts defeat, and says it will not support Mr. Blaine for the Presidency, or advise any one to do so. The New York Post says Blaine cannot be elected, and the demo crats have not had such an oppor tunity in a quarter of a century. The New York Herald and the iSun and the Philadelphia Times en tertain like views. The Springfield Republican says if the Democrats will only nominate Cleveland or Bayard thus insuring a clean and safe administration, it would result in a democratic victo ry- The Boston Advertiser, also Re publican, says: “We declare our in ability to support the nomination.” The Boston Herald says, Mr. Blaine would be a bad and danger ous President,” and says the Denio crants can electdeveland. All this is encouroging to the dem ocrats and shows how bitter is the opposition to Blaine Within his own party ranks. A lawyer outin Tecumseh., Neb. ? lost a good case the other day by an unfortunate slip qf the tongue: ‘Gentlemen of the jury,’ he said, ‘there were just thirty-six hogs in the drove. Please remember the fact—just three times as many as in the jury box, gentlemen.’ “Now,” said a boy to a comapan ion, as they were playing, “I’ll sit here and you come up and say your ’ve got a bill you want .me to pay. “Oh, yes! yon want to tell me to get out. You be the one what comes with the bill.” Fools With Guns. In bravado a young man place the muzzle of a gun under the wa ter and fired the charge. The result was the bursting of the barrel near the breech and the mutilation of his hand. Another placed and held the muzzle of his piece square against a piece of plate window glass and fired the charge—powder and bullet. The glass was shatter ed, so was the gun barrel. Anoth er instance was that of an experi menter who heard that a candle could be fired from the barrel of a gun through an inch board. He drove a candle into the muzzle of a gUP, fired and the explosion split the barrel.almqst its. entire length, and did not even drive the candle from the muzzle. Still another burst of a gun barrel was caused by the use of wet grass for a wad, well rammed over a charge of shot. Col. Candler’s Address. The LaGrange Reporter speaks as follows of Col. Candler’s address at the commencement exercises of the Female college in that city this week: „After the reading of the essays Dr. Heidt introduced to the audience Col. John S'. Candler of Atlanta. Col. Candler ingratia ted himself into our hearts at once by his beautiful compliment to La- Grange people and his noble trib ute to the illustrious trio who have lived in our midst and the gran dest of whom has made Troup county illustrious as.being his birth place. Col. Candler, with no’ at tempt at display, dived.deeply into the depths of classic lore and drew therefrom many apt allusions showing how women of old urged on men to great actions and for which they were exalted by them as the noble woman whose praise is so often and so beautifully sung by Dante. Woman in the present day makes too great an attempt to exalt herself in calling for a hand in politics, for the right of suff rage and attempting to attain liter ary honors. That he dlcl not total ly condemn her for] striving to at tain to literary honors if her efforts were backed by a pure motive to aid the cause of humanity, but he despised the paltry motive that ac tuates young college graduates to write love stories for the papers and other kinds of light literature and to take a pride in acknowl edging it by affixing their names to it. That there is no royal road to geometry and no easy task to gain a reputation as a literary genius; that in order to pluck the roses of literary honors, we must expeet our hands to be scratched by the briers. Th e true object of woman’s life is to elevate the character of her husband. That it is a grand thing to be a powerful engine in moving the affairs of men, but a much grander thing to move that engine; that the usual style in de livering addresses to young ladies is to give them advice about when and whom to marry; that he didn’t think any of them were old enough to take advice on that when they became old enough they will know, whom to marry. His advice to them was marry whom they loved and to exert their influence in pushing onward to honor, glory and Heaven. His address was learned and ab ounded in witty remarks. At the close, he presented the prize for the best essay, on Socrates, to Miss An nie Alleh.” Whither is the Drift? Demoralization pervades most of the departments of social business and governmental life in the I ni- ted States. Evils that came creep ing in years ago, and that dodged and skulked and hid themselves away, as if ashamed to be seen, have now become bold and defiant. That this is true admits of no dis pute. Why it is true, is a ques tion for all good and true men to consider. It is evident that the public con science has become blunted There is not, on the part of the people that sensitiveness to the shame of wrongdoing which characterized their fathers. With this lapse from private and public virtue, there has been a falling’off in the effectiveness of the methods by which society avenges itself on wrong-doers- Here, perhaps, is to be found the cause as well as the consequence of much of the evil that is abroad in the land. The indisposition to un cover evils, to expose wrongs, to punish outrages on public virtue, to hold the balances evenly adjust ed to one and all without respect of persons, while being the conse quence of the deep demoralization of which we have spoken, has also acted as the encouraging cause of evils. Wrong can but be fostered by the consciousness of immunity from punishment. Political parties and their meth ods are largely responsible for this state of affairs; but, after all, parties and methods are just what the people make them. They are neither better nor worse than their authors. It is undeniable that the source of all powefc here is the peo ple, and the methods that prevail are their methods and the wrongs that exist, without let er hindrance exist because the people choose to have it so. There is no evidence of a real purpose on the part of the people to mend their ways or their methods in surch sort as to enthr one the right and to overthrow the wrong, whereever and whenever may he made. Individval opposi tion to the demoralizing tendencies of the times is marked’ beyond all questions; but there is not that concurrance of the good that made Cicero strong and Romo safe, in the day when Calaline whs the ter ror of the hilled city.—Macon Tele graph.
