A moment’s pause for longing and for dreaming, A moment’s looking backward on the way; To kiss my hand to long-past turrets Rleaming, To stand and think of life of yesterday! • A little time to dream of sunlit hours Spent where white towers rise against the sky; To tread again that path of too sweet flowers, To hear again her greeting and good bye! . What is there, say you, in that" far-off ■ . city ' Os past living and past loving left, Wrapped in its golden haze to stir, my pity And call the bitter sigh of the bereft? The memory of a touch warm, trusting, < clinging, The memory of that touch grown coM as ice? A voice hushed that was pure as wild bird’s singing? A. love whose bright flame burned in sacrifice? Only a grave? Life of today will teach me • Its stream fleets fast for sorrow and regret, Beyond this turn its sweeping wave will reach me, I must go with it, as we all go! Yet— A moment’s pausing for longing and for dreaming, A moment’s looking backward on the way, ~ To kiss my hand to long-past turrets gleaming, ' To stand and think of life yesterday! * * • The dance given by tbe Griffin.

One does exactly at them what one has been doing all tbe winter—dancing, play ing cards and dressing. Now, at home, we go in for golfing, cycling, and all kinds of outdoor sports, and it is so restful. Shirtwaists and abort skirts are tbe only things worn and we simply live, out doors. A protest urged in favor of Tallulah Falls, Na cocbee Valley, or other charming spots in the Plus Ridge might con vince nortbeners that even at south ern resorts one goes in foi outdoor life and sports also. The fresh air of Tal lulah the delightful- tramps through chasms or over mountains, or a stay in Nacocbee’a restful vales, far from the world’s noise and bustle, gives one no chance for the thought of such things as cards, dancing and dressing. But it takes all sorts of people to make up the worli, and card players will ptay cards, dressers will dress, and dancers will daoce, whether near "Greenland’s icy mountains,” or “In- I dia’s coral strands." * * * Mr. W.

'".J A BLOODY RECORD. An Epidemic of Crime Spreads Over the Country- The latter half of the current month will go into tbe records as a particular ly bloody period in the state of Geor gia. There have been more men killed in this state during the past two weeks than the United States navy lost during tbe whole time of tbe war. Tbe average has been nearly one a day, and tbe newspaper reports each day have contained items telling of crimes of violence resulting io death or serious injury. Tbe bloody period began on Aug. 15, when one man out the throat of another in a -.ourt room in Atlanta. Tbe next day tbe dead body of an inoffensive German citisen was found on the streets in this city, Tbe day' following a bootblack was stabbed to death in Atlanta, and on the same day a negro was waylaid and shot near Sylvania. These crimes have been followed in succession by a murder in tbe military camp at Au gusta, a lynching in Brooks county, the double murder of Mrs. McGairah and her son in Sumter county, tbe Smith-Godwin murder in Lowndes county, and two other shooting affairs io the same county on the same day *, the stabbing of one brother by another it Gdum, the shooting of .js preacher st Smiley, and tbe killing of a Demo cratic leader at Cusseta. This record does not take into account various minor difficulties involving pistols, knives and clubs. Georgia, however, has not been alone in this unfortunate business of killing. The epidemic of crimes of violence seems to have spread over a consider able part ol tbe country. Arkansas has been similarly afflicted, and so has Mississippi and California, and New York aad other Northern states have not been exempt. What has been the cause of the epi demic? Certain scientists who have made a study of criminology say that the weather has a great deal to do with murder and suicide; that many of the most atrocious crimes have been committed in the summer season when the sun’s hot beams and the humidity produce nervous irritability. Animals go mad in summer, they say, hence it is a reasonable deduction that man goes mad also, and in his beat madness takes different form in differ ent parte of the country. In tbe North, for instance, several of the re cent deaths have been occasioned by poisbn. In one case poisoned oandy was shipped through the mails from San Francisco to a woman in Dela ware, and in New York in two or three cases poisons have been admin istered, or tbe attempt made to ad minister them, in various forms. The would be assassins adopt tbe method of Borgias, those most detestable of murderers Tbe law, however takes no account of the alleged mid-summer madness which the scientific!men talk about, and it is to be hopyr that tbe machin ery of tbe law into motion at once in Georgia for the purpose of wiping out as far as may be possible tbe red blot of tbe bloody closing half of August.—Savannah News.
