McFerrin, 0 v hattanooga: To us, there is all the difference ketween a sin found out and a sin undiscovered. We walk every day in the midst of moral lepers, but we do not see their sores. We assoei- ate with adulterers and never shrink from their touch. There are wives in this city who would fly from their - - husbands as from a coiled snake if they knew their private lives; husbands why would he ashamed of their wives h they knew then thoughts. If the Doctors of Chattanooga were forced to make public the so- crets of society, many a fair reputa- tion would be blasted and many a .high-headed, sanctimonious chm' di member would sink to the depths of infamy, where he ought to have been twenty years ago. In a world of sinners, let us not talk so mueli about social octraeism. It we arc going to hew to the line, , *et us , be just . and treat all ... that are equally guilty. If a fallen woman deserves t!ip punishment society vis- its upon her, then let her partner in crime share her fate. They are in the same boat; but, for mercy’s don’t throw her overboard, to be drowned by' social sharks, and row him safe to shore. Let him go with her, meet the same doom here and sink to the low¬ est depths of hell hereafter. But how is it? The poor woman is treated as a moral leper, shunned by decent society, fenced off with her kind, left to go on in her course, and come to an untimely grave and an awful hell. But the gilded rascal who made her what she is stalks forth from his lecherous den dressed in the garb of respectability, and is allowed to en¬ ter our churches, sits in our parlors, dance: w h our fair maidens,mingles with on, ucst society, deports m the sunshine of fashion, and in gay plu¬ mage hides his blackened soul. Reeking with the blood of his victim he goes forth as a wolf in sheep’s clothing in search of other prey!. And the worst of all is, lie is known, and yet in a measure, is re- speeted! I beseech you, if y r ou ever come across such a fiend in human shape, before you extend to him the hand of welcome, think of the soul he has murdered and the hell lie lias kindled. If there is a man who deserves a lower place in hell than another, it is lie who wrecks a life ami loaves it stranded upon the shore. If there is a being almost without the infinite circle of forgiveness, it is the man who blights purity in its bud, and robs another of the priceless jewel wlffSli lie can never restore. Oh, thou corrupter of innocence, look upon the torn and bleeding lamb which thy lust lias slain, and shed a tear if the fires of passion have not already consumed the foundation of thy soul. Look to him who bearcth the iron rod of vengeance, and think of the Appointed time of judgment! Think you that yon are walking safely because God has forgotton? 11 is wrath may slumber, but II is bolt shall yet smite you, and thy r shadows of death shall be phantoms of horri¬ ble meaning. Demons shall mock tlieo, and remorse shall strike her tab j ons in thy heart and rend it. As thou art borne down to thy doom, the wails and shrieks of thv victims shall greet the and hell’s everlasting storm shall howl above thee, and rains of perpetual misery pelt thee. Then corruption of innocence, go forever from the view of the pure and the good, and may every thought of thee be erased from the tablet of memory. The world wall breathe freer when you are gone, and rejoice that one more plague is stayed. I have noticed that the newspa- pers, in the publication of scoundrels, JASI’ER, GEORGIA, THURSDAY DECEMBER 4. 1800 . do uverythijig to shield the strong . r sox- 1 ho name of the poor victim girl appears in tho llaminp; head- lines, and the party oi the other part is mentioned as rich, respect able citizens (married or single, as the case may be,) or the son of some pro mi ne n t gentlemen, The man goes forth incognito, while the wo- man’s shame and name are cmbla- zoned on the pages of every paper in the land. He goes into the busy- crowd, engages in business and pros¬ pers, while her sin remands her to nm^hades of ignominy! In Cod’s name it isn’t right. I ] iave Been told by those who know, that a majority of these fallen women were left orphans early m life, at the time they needed a mother’s care. They were bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, flaxen-haired children, that would have adorned the palace of a king, loving and loved, who could read future? • Poor orphaned ones! It is hard for the more favored to go through life, avoid its snares and make it a success, but how with the mate orphaned , children? ,, It warm hearts opened not to welcome them, and strong hands streched not outdo help them, they were forced to strug- p-fo on. In such conditions young, unsuspecting nature seeks some one to love, some one to trust, Alas! alas! they loved too well, and trusted unwisely! \\ ho blames them for loving and trusting? As well blame the vine in the dark eel- lar for creeping towards the crevice through which the sunshine streams, A heart shut up in itself will wither and die. It must go out in search of something to love, but if il loves, and that love is abur 1 —if it trusts, and its confidence is misplaced—is that cause sufficient to damn it forever? No Place to move To From the Washington Post. There lives out in Joo- Cannon’s district in Illinois an old farmer who who is a zealous republican, one >f ; the .red-hot partisan stripe. When 1 lit heard of Cannon’s defeat he said to his wife, who is one of those wo- 1 men who obey' their lord and mas tar j blindly: ! “Mary, pack up everything. I am going to move.” j “Why?” asked Alary'. » “Because Joe Cannon is beat and I won’t live in a democratic district.” | “Very well,” said Mary, with a | little resigned sigh. ; Then the old man went to town to sell his farm. There he heard all the election news, he returned home, I and entering the house said: “diary, you can quit packing up. | I ain’t a-going to move.” i “Why?” inquired Mary. “Because, he replied, sadly, “there’s 110 place to move to.” j --I They Can’t Please Everybody. Humanity has not developed per- i fcction enough to make it possible to i find a preacher who can please all the j members of bis congregation, \ To find a school teacher who will not be grumbled at or talked about, j To find a set of school trusties that can act so as to ,please every- body, | To find a community where there is no bickering or back biting, : To find a doctor that will at all I times speak kindly of his competi- tors, ’ 1 ] To find a lawyer that some ob- jeetion cannot be raised against him, To find merchant that is not , ] a : charged with unfair dealing by some of his customers or competitors, 'bo find a newspaper that can please all of its readers, for in one column a man will find something to please him while in another column he wall find something tii-.t do— pleases him: It is a fact that there never has been but one perfect man on earth a id while lio was hero the people divln t behove in las perfect Rm and crucified him. Every good man has his fault finders and his good works arc not appreciated until after he is gone, -- i ^Dessert Every Other J)ny. “1 think you may send me a of huckleberries,” said the landlady to the marketman, as she looked about for bargains in wilted egg¬ plants. “ 11 ave you many hoarders, "iVm?” lie asked mildly. j “Mine.” • 1 “Isn’t (Juart of berries a rather ., light >• ; . tor , ■ , he ventured. , , lime. • ! “Not with me,” she snapped. * “P ,, oar ot . m , hoarders , non . . t cat v huckleberries for breakfast and ‘.don’t cat bananas, so T alternate and ketch half either way.” New .

With equal I truth lie might have attributed it to the wonderful white marble develop¬ ment of North Georgia and Western North Carolina, where statuary mar ble equitl to finest. Carrara is quarried. The introduction of machinery', the product of American ingenuity, ena- hies the marble companies of that region to quarry the rock and finish it for use at cost per ton below that quarried by cheap laborers of Cam- ra.
