Harry sighed as ho remembered
that on the morrow he and Clare
would be speeding far away from
home, the ono to enter an InduR-
trial School where girls are taught
that type-writing, bookkeeping,
wood-carving, hammering In brass,
etc., ore better occupations than
novel reading and day dreaming,
and the other to enter an Agricul
tural and Mechanical College where
boys learn that gentlemen con grow
nnd mature ns well In working
clothes as I:: the’ most immaculate
evening suits.
“It would be well for you, m3*
children,” said Mr. Bently, “now
that 3*ou are about entering the
world through the side door of help
ful industry, to consider the ques
tion of influence; for It was long
ago decided by wiser heads than
ours, that everyone, however small

“I was much impressed by nn In
cident which a Northern gentleman
related to me as having recently
come under bis observation. He
was returning one day over the
Manhattan Elevated Railway, from
a ride to Central I’ark, New York,
and just before quitting the car his
attention was drawn to a card hang

in Inrge clear type, neatly framed,
and hung In that portion of space
said to be sold to advertisers who
desire to leave behind them ‘foot
prints on the anuds of time.’ There
was no name, no clue to the iden
tity of tilts silent worker who pre
ferred Christ to himself, ( \nd that
should be the way with nil Chris
tian workers. They should seek lo
draw utleution, net to themselves
stiff retie 11 orders nni * ,,le,r work, but to Christ aud
his cause.”
“There arc times when open re
buke is better than silent disapprov
al,” said Mrs. Ilently, “but T am
almost persuadrd to believe that
this silent Influence is the best after
all. There arc more ways for a girl
to be n Dinah Morris than by mount
ing a cart nnd lecturing on the
village green—not that I would set
myself up to deride any creation of
George Eliot's talent, much less the
conception of a character engaged
In the most noble of all work; but
hand ready-wade you know there are some people
who talk Christianity Instead of
living It, and It has always been a
creed of mine that a wotuau is moat
womanly when she puts the beauty
of holiness tutu her own life and
lives It, walking hourly therein,
thus making the silent but enno
bling Influence of her presence to
shlno like that perfect white light
which Carlyle tells us renders all
things visible, but it itself unseen.”
“I don't wish to say much about
my Intentions," quietly spoke
Clare, “for it is said that the less
we s|N>ak of them (our Intentions®
the more chance there Is to realize
them, but I will sa3 that lu leaving
home to-morrow, I mean always
lo pursue with steadfast zeal the
road to Womanhood Town until I
reach m3* journey’s end."
"I can shake hands with 3*ou on
that resolution, Clare," said her
brother, "for it will apply just as
Oily to the road that I mean to
travel.
“All roads lead finally to the same
destination—to the City of the Dead
—and the rewards and punishments
meted out there are due to the man
ner In which we travel the high
ways of life,"* Impressively re
marked Mrs. Bcntly. “But,” she
added with the pardonable pride of
a mother who has tried to bring up
tier children In the way that they
should go, and who feara not that
when they are old they will depart
frofn It, "your father and I are not
afraid to have our boy and girl leave
the old homestead; for we feel sure
that they will over be true to the
teachings learned beneath ita roof-
tree." Happy parental whocan re-
poso such confidence In their chil
dren. Happy children! who walk
In the proud consciousness of the
love and trust of ouch parents.
And bore, wo leave oar young
friends to pursue the buttle of life
•lone; alone, yet not alone, for
“they are never alone that are ae-
oompanled with noble thoughts."
uiuun Andnow to tbooowbo have kind
ly followed the Club, but who,
doubtless, have sometimes thought
It was like the boy’s mystic puxxle,
“all 0”—just nothing after all—I
would say that the motive of the
Club was to set forth a truth which
deeply Impressed my mind; That
In passing through this world,
nothing is so lowly hut that It can

that it can teach us; nothing eo
poor but that It can enrich ub; that
It Is better to build n noble charac

empty, title; that industry, patience
and reverence, set In a spirit of
kindliness, helpfulness and sympa-

This was the message that I hod
to tell. “This was the best of me;

BURKHALTER,
' 611 Jzekton Street,
: GEORGIA.
Louvai.k, March 13.—Since Ilaat
wrote you, we have had a fire. On
last Saturday night Mr. Lewis’ train
on the S. A. M came as usual, aud
about 10 or II o’cloek at night a
mournful whistle was heard and
afterwards a bright light was seen
in the direction of the depot.
About midway between the depot
house and Dr. Tiitiini’sguano bouse
the baggage oar was stepped. All
bauds were asleep, when the fire
awoke them and by their fore
thought ami labor with pinch bars
they succeeded in muring the pas
senger conches ami the engine at a
disiunve from tin- burning car.
The track under the car was also
burned, aud If the wind had been
blowing from the chat, lu all probu
bllity th.'depot and the guano house
would liure went also. Mr. H. C,
Sapp went down to the I rain about
nine o'clock, and there was no sign
of lire I lieu, and some suspicious
are that it was fired. It Is u con
siderable loss lo the S. A. M. road,
but such tlilugs are liable to occur.
\Ve ore glad It was no worse, for the
passenger coaches amt engine might
and doubtless would have Ic-tu de
stro.yed, had there been o>> hands
about the train.
We are moving on ns usual with
a good school, weather flue, farmers
in tolerable good spirits, and the
health of our section Is good.
Homo corn is planted and some
qro waiting for warmer weather.
Gardens are backward, as winter
still lingers lu the lap of spring.
We arc reading with Interest the
dots from Cordeie, the timber sec
tion. We wore shown a fan made
by hand at Cordeie. It was quite
sn Ingenious Hi lug made of wood.
One of our gallnnt ruilioud men
made a lady of our village a preseut
of one of the timber beauties.
We see jour correspondence is
quite full In the last issue, and we
bolleve the Rkcobdkr will be read
wl th Interest, for when we pick it
up we will be able to bear from all
tho sections around ua.

A negro boy was arrested here
Mondag and sent to Dawson to jail
for stealing a pistol from another
negro. Abont the only use the town
had for him was to fire the cannon

his eyes out last summer firing a
salute 1* honor of Dr. Kendrick’s
nomination. He will probably get
six months board from the State, as
he broke Into a house to steal the
pistol.

night. They will travel In two
private cars, which glvessome Idea
of tho size of the party. They will
be in the hands of John H. Inmaw
and John C. Calhoun, the two noted
champions of southern progress and

Their intention Is to visit Char

with a ylow to examining these
' (ports at outlets for the vast amount

oped by the recent railroad allianoea
and the prospective growth of all

Hon. Abram S. Hewitt and hla
brothor-ln-law, ex-Mayor Edward
Cooper, will be among the distin
guished members of the party. The
whole crowd are ostensibly going
on a pleasure trip, but It ll whis
pered on good authority that
Meters. Hewitt and Cooper will not
be bent on pleasure solely.
Mr. Hswitt Is rellablyreported to

Iron ore districts of Tennaetee and

confirms the aooounta he ha* had of
the vast coal and mineral resources
of those States; he will probably
move his entire Iron manufactory

greatest Importance to the South,

roads so prevalent at present, from

It Is very applicable to our own
State, It says: “The Indiscriminate
war against railroads which some
men In Tennessee seem Inclined to
wage can never produce good. It
will not benefit the people, and It
is not likely to inlure the railroads.
While railroads should be properly
restricted and regulated by reason
able and Just laws, they should not
be warred upon as If they were Ini
mical to the interest* of the coun
try ; we cannot have too many rail
roads, they are among the greatest
factors In developing nnd cnrlcfclug

proper encouragement. We do not

The people of Savannah have for
many yean depended upon the
Central and B. F. A W. roads to
keep np their business. Of late
other roads have been cutting off a
goodportlon of their trade, and now
the business men of Savannah have
learned that they must depend upon
themselves. It to a good lesson to
learn, and we hope It win prove of
value to them.
I dent Harrison was Inaugurated on
Monday of last week. On Tuesday
occurred the failure of the Reading
iron works, with liabilities of nearly
(2,000,000, throwing 2,000 men out
of employment. On Wednesday
came the failure of the Excelsior
pottery at Trenton, N.J , employing
300 men. On Thursday the Keystone
rolling mill of Reading, and the
rolling mllli at Naomi and Glbral
tar, Penn., shut down, throwing
altogether over 600 men out of em
ployment. On Friday the Findlay
(Ohio) iron and steel company, with
the principal rolling mill in that
manufacturiag centre, made an as
signment, with liabilities of over
(100,000. To theso must be added

favor of the annual celebration of
the second of April, the birthday of
Thomas Jofferson. The Idea Is a
good one. It would bo well to bring
the teachings of Jefferson to the
popular mind in this way every
year, especially since the party in
power represents those centralising
tendencies which are inimical to
the true theory of our government
and which Jefferson beat back so
aaccessfully. Numerous democratic
celebrations will doubtless bo held

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
The outlook for the future of the
Democratic party waa never bright
er or more promising than at
present. Tariff reform will be the
Issue in 1802, as it waa in 1888. The
sentiment In favor of tariff reform
Is growing and strengthening and
widening each day and the ranks
are already closing up for ’02 and
victory. The New York World has
this to say about the outlook:
“The Democratic party to right
In aaeertlng that unnecessary taxa
tion Is unjust taxation. It to right
In demanding that the enrplns
revenue be stopped, not spent It
to right In holding that tne taxes to
be first reduced are those which
bear hardeet upon the greater num
ber of people—namely, the war
taxes upon the necessaries of life.
Every word of the Republican
President and every act of a Repub
lican Congress which antagonises
these everlastingly right and truly
demoo ratio principles will hasten
the day of tha second overthrow of
their party.
'The plutocratlo tendencies and
monopolistic affiliations of the Re
publican party will inevitably
weaken It with the people. The
Democrats have only to bo true to
their principles, united In action
and wise In the selection of leader*
to pluck a final victory out of the
present reverse." .

Editors seem to be regarded as
good material from which President

names have been suggested are Mr.

Mr. Porter, of the Press, Mr. ’Jana,
