THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 148. SOCIALJALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. THE SUNLIGHT OF LOVE. The world has been weary and lost to Love’s art— There was rain on the hills, but the sun’s out, sweetheart! And all the birds singing, And all the bells ringing, And roses in desolate pathways are spring ing. The world has been wtary; Lu! Io! the clouds part; There was rain in life’s skies, but the sun’s out, sweetheart! And rainbows are bending And messages sending Os God’s love and your love, unending unending! The world has been weary, but sorrow now seems, In the sunlight of love, like an.echo of dreams! Seel see! the clouds part; All has leaned to Love’s art, And the sunlight of Love is where you are, sweetheart! ♦ * * There are few places so fortunate for the study of the universal rhythm as the sea shore Here nature has made the finest study of learning, counter point and thorough bass, and the never resting sea exemplifies the uni* versa! passion for music It will not be lulled to seeming culm except by one of its own soft lullabies; it refuses to dance in gleeful abandon of tossing spray without the one chosen accom paniment, and its wildest charges of white mounted legions upon the trembling shore are made to its own war music, rhythmic thunder, booming basso of billows, and wild orchestra of wind and spray. Or are you in a mood for elfin dances and Lilliput waltzes and mazuikas? Take a day when the rollers are coming in lazily, and as a greater one breaks away up high on the beach and a lesser follow ing, quickly elides a plane of green water under the first, now trying to return. What a dancing, what a Babel of tongues, what mimic bicker ings of bubbles and drops in dispute as they stop and coruscate into a dia mond fountain, and then, like fairies at cock-crow, rush pell mell down over sand and shale and seaweed to the arms of the sea! And what so rhythmical as the calling of the sea? Some times it is a love tone, with which it throws a white arm out on the sand, and with upturned, billowy bosom cries out for sympathy and solace; petulant, playful, imperious, wooing, longing, inconsolable heart of the se|! Or is it childlike at another hour, so careless, a mere mint of bub bles and laughter and smiles, all pure, all innocent, bright with seeming changelessness of an immortal youthT Yet all the while its endless symphony goes on, and the greater “ninth waves” come rolling in, giving it a double rhythm—sweet, majestic, eter nal. « » # At the meeting of the Hawthorn Club next Tuesday, February 28th ( the following programme will be given : General review of the work of the past month. Book Review, “Cyranode Bergerac,” —Mrs. Lloyd Cleveland * ♦ * A beautiful entertainment of the past week was the reception Wednes day afternoon from three to five o’clock, at which Mrs. E R.

But for more than half a year, atmospheric condi tions, in Middle Georgia, have been so anomalous that this previously ostra cised subject has become invested with so many elements of the “sub lime in nature,” as to make it r.ow a proper subject matter for “heated dis cussion.” However, a person could hardly be expected to “warm up” to a thing 12 degrees below zero. Red-hot enthusiasm for icebergs might qualify a writer for attempting arctic frigidity, but even with this equipment, hie abortive essay at thawing out the late spell, would show that he pos sessed ‘zeal without knowledge” Therefore, nothing much will be said about the recent “cold snap” But passing to another phase of the subject, your subscriber, with fear and trepidation, humbly ventures the hope that the last unprecedented iceness was a calmination—a c >up d’etat, coup de grace, a hors du combat or something that denotes the end of the disastrous wet season. that for the last six months has well-nigh ruined the agricultural interests of the country. For the destruction to become complete, requires only a con tinuance of the same kind of weather that we have “enjoyed” for the past two hundred days. In order to avert impending ruin, we repeat “let it be dry ” The thought becomes prayer when we review the chain of disasters that binds last July to forthcoming March. We will not count the links to this chain. As pessimists do, we will not lift of! the lid to Pandora’s box just to show that its contents are evil. Bit the bad ellects of the rain are like that celebrated “living epistle, known and read of by all men.” For last year’s corn crop was injured one-third ; hay one-half; peas, almost totally ; and the cotton crop was rendered unprofi table.

For purposes of planting, there will be •carcity of seeds, potatoes and sugar cane. When we add the disastrous result* from excessive rain during last year ie similar effects from same cause in bygone years, we are forced to con clude that dry years are belter for farming purposes than wet years. This conclusion accords also with the opinion of old and experienced farmers. Uncle Billy Bianton, in whom we all confide, says that the beet crop year be ever knew was a dry year; that year, he says, was dry even when the crops were growing, but it proved famous as a year for large crop* of corn, wheat, oats and cotton. Without introducing other and abun dant testimony and going into further detail*, we think we can safely decide that dry years promote prosperity and that wet years bring adversity. The adjustment of weather conditions is the exclusive function of providence; but the greater question of determin ing whether it shall be dry a* to the “innter man” is with the dear people. May our supplication be in the one case, and our determination in the other, find expression in the words of our first statement : ' Let it be dry.” Rainbow.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you hail rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strong odor. s. Hp o-.isare pru.cn:, no time should be lust in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may ru» into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great I discovery of the eminent kidney and blad- I der specialist, is a positive remedy for j such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
