Alone by (lie firelight’s fitful gleam I sit in my easy chair, And watch in the flames the bygone scenes Which my fancy pictures there, And as swiftly by on memory’s wings The pictured lancies glide, 1 catch the trace of a beautiful face, The face of my angel bride. Our lives were joined by no priestly words, And no bridal wreath had she, For all too soon did the angels come And bear her away from me, Hut I know while eternity’s ages roll, She is mine, whatever betide, For our souls wore wed, ere the spirit fled From the form of my angel bride. My soul has no space for a living love, For ’tis tilled with the love of the dead, A love that was purer than many a love Where the priestly words were said. So as still alone on the river of life X float with the drifting tide, I'll place each day a fresh bouquet On the grave of my angel bride —L. P. Hills, Burdett’s Message to Boys. My boy, the first thing you waut to loat-u—i£ you haven’t learned how al ready—is to tell the truth. The pure, sweet, refreshing, wholesome truth. The plain, unvarnished, simple, every day, manly truth, with a little “t.” For one thing it will save you so much trouble. 0, heaps of trouble! And uo end of hard work. And a terrible strain upon your memory. Sometimes —and when I say sometimes, I mean a great many times —it is hard to tell the truth the first time. But when you have told it, there is an eud of it. You have won the victory ; the fight is over. Next time you tell the truth you can tell it without thinking. Your memory maybe faulty, but you tell your story without a s’mgle lash from the stinging whip of that stern old taskmaster, conscience. You don’t have to stop and remember bow you told it yesterday. You don’t get half through with the awful sense upon you chat you are not telliug it as you did the other time, and cannot remember just how you did tell it then. You won’t have to look around you to see who is there, before you begin to tell it. After Ananias told a lie, his wife had to tell another just like it. l r ou see, if you tell lies you are apt to get your whole family into trouble. And then it’s so foolish for you to lie. You cannot pass a lie off for the truth any more than you can get coun terfeit money into circulation. The leaden dollar is always detected before it goes very far. When you tell a lie, it is known. Yes, you say, God knows it. That’s right, but he is not the only one. So far as God’s knowledge is concerned, the liar doesn’t care very much. He doesn’t worry about what God knows —if he did, he wouldn’t be a liar, hut it does worry a man, or boy, who tells lies to think that everybody else knows it. The other boys know it ; your teacher knows it ; people who hear you tell “whoppers” know it; your mother knows it, hut she won’t say so. And all the people who know it, and don’t say anything about it to you, talk about it to each other, and — dear ! dear! the things they say about a boy who is given to telling big stories. If he could only'hear them, it would make him stick to the truth like flout to a miller. And, finally, if you tell the truth al wa) s, I don’t see how you are going to get very far out of the right way. And how people do trust a truthful boy ! We never worry about him when he is out of sight. We never say: “I wonder where he is ! I wish I knew what he is doing ! I wonder who he is with! 1 wonder why he doesn’t come home!” Nothing of the soit. We know that he is all right, and that when he comes home we will knew all about it, and get it straight. We don’t have to ask him where he is going, and how long he will be gone, every time he leaves the house. We don’t have to call hack and make him “solemnly promise” the same thing over and over two or three times. When he says, “Yes, I willor “No, I wontjust once, that settles it. We don’t have to cross examine him when he comes home to find out where he has been. He tells us once, and that is enough. We don’t have to say, “Sure ?” “Are you sure now?” when he tells anything. But, my boy, you can’t builu up that reputation by merely telling the truth about half of the time, nor two-thirds, nor three-fourths, nor nine-tenths of the time. If it brings punishment up on you. while the liar escapes ; if it brings you into present disgrace while the smooth-tonged liars are exalted ; if it loses you a good position ; if it de grades you in the class ; if it stops a week’s pay—no matter what punish ment it may bring upon you, tell the truth. McDonough,!ga.. Friday. November h,1802. All these things will soou be righted. The worst whipping that can be laid on a boy’s back won't keep him out of the water in swimming time more than a week ; but a lie will burn more than fifty years. Tell the truth for the sake of the .ruth, and all the best people in 'lie world will love and respect you, and all liars will respect and hate you. —Ladies Home Journal. The School Teacher. The least appreciated worker in the community is the school teacher, says tlie Now York Recorder. Oue of them retired from the New York public -chools the other day after fiity seven years of sei vice—fifty-seven year# ol modeling humau character iu the na tion’s household, and the nation accepts the service with the same complacency as though she had been cooking pies in stead of morals. It’s an ackievemenl to make good pies, but it’s a greater achievement to cook good morals. They receive small measure of hom age—do school teachers, and they are not an envied class of workers. The field is a trifle narrow to the outside observer, but some oue has to work in the narrow field. In all vocations there are rules that govern routine work. There is a good bit of red tape in modern educational ! fields, a good many ledgers and day books to be kept and schedules to be made out, and minutes and hours are accorded due importance, but for the inner working of the educational ma chine there are no rules bearing on attrition, on the moral sensibilities, on the sympathy between teacher and pu pil, on the sentiment that must live in tfcfe breasts of these foster mothers of the nation to make them a success in their vocation. The monetary com pensation for this work is merely nom inal. Fifty-seven years of teaching—think of it! Eleven thousand four hundred days— by actual count —22,800 times of re sponding to the call of the school bell —a reception committee to a horde of arrant young anarchists, whose mothers bless their absence for the peace it brings. Why Farmers Fall. There was a farmer who, forced to take a badly worn-out farm abandoned by the owuor to his creditor, occupied a whole day in studying out a plan to make that undesirable property profi table. He went to work on the plan, without changing it in any important matttcr, and, following step by step as had been foreseen and fixed upon, at the end of seven years made au income of $2,500 clear of all expenses from only seventy acres. Of course, this farmer had experience and extensive knowledge of his busi ness, but it is not difficult for any farm er who chooses any special kind of farming to do the same by exercise of patient industry and perseverance in the course chosen. The greatest trou ble is this vocation, as in all others, is the want of sticking to the rigid line, first laid out with judgment and know ledge. These are -indispensable, but when, with these, a plan is chosen, it should be adhered to. “Unstable as water, thou shalt hot excel,” is as true to-day as when the old patriarch utter ed that finally-fulfilled*prophecy. Aud if an unsuccessful farmer is met with, he will be found to be a man of the un certain disposition. Sermonettes. Beware of the flattery of city' cous ins. Beware of the flattery of a son-in law. Beware of the preacher who tells dirty yarns. Beware of the man who does not respect his wife. Beware of the stray dog that wants to be too friendly. Beware of the stranger who tells you his family secrets. Beware of the man who professes to be too good to sin. Beware of the mau who will cheat in a game of croquet. Beware of the man who says there is no virtue among women.—ltev. M. G. liambo, in Western Plowman. It is a safe aud good rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an op portunity of doing a kindness, or ing a true word, or making a friend. Seeds thus sown by the wayside often bring forth aD abundant harvest. Nothing but the ocean of God’s re deeming love can cleanse the foulness that even the best must contract as their life flows forth to eternity. LET US HAVE PEACE. r-' Some Timely, Sensible aud Conserva tive Kclkotions. In common with ttvery democrat and every democratic paper in Georgia, the Times rejoices at tne glorious v ictory 'list has been won iu the State. While it is true taat a gieat battle has been fought and a grand and gh ri ms victory won, whereat every good citizen in the land may rejoice, and for which thanksgiving , should well up from every heart, yet, for our part, there is a tinge of sadness that colors iur rejoicing. We cannot help this feeling when we remember that this victory lias been gained over those whom we love, our neighbors, our brethren, our friends, and in the rejoicing of victory we do not feel like gloating over those who have been defeated. We remember the wrongs and op pressions that we, in common with them and every other citizen of this land, have suffered from financial de pression, oppressive taxation, class leg islation, high tariff and all the other ills that republican power and republi can hatred could fasten upon us, espe cially of this sunny southland home that we all love so well. We deplore the fact "that those evils have driven many of our good and clever citizens almost to desperation, aud iu their eagerness for relief have listened to the seductive but dangerous delusions of selfish men, who for place and power, for the gratification of im placable hatred of tire-- south, for the accomplishment of their own ambitious ends aud designs, or for the purpose of bolstering up and perpetuating the waniug power of the republican party, have taken advantage of the discontent and restlessness that has pervaded all classes, and with seductive words have led off many of -our brethron and friends into schemes to remedy these evils, which, however, meant only dan ger and destruction to the dearest in - terests of all our people aud the over throw of the government. We believe that of tho third party have been deceived as to the purpose of the leaders in the move ment, aud wo aro fully satisfied that they have been deluded by false prom ises, deceitful hopes aud improbable, as well as impossible suggestions and schemes of relief. These things have brought, not re lief and help, but only trouble. Divis ion and separation have been the re suits. Neighborhoods have been di vided, households disrupted, bather and son have been arrayed against each other, brother against brother, friend against friend, class against class, and even the sacred mariiage tie has been strained because of the disagreement of husband and wife upon these issues. The Times appreciates these facts, aud although we have fought these alarming dangers with might and main, and expect to continue to do so as long as ability and opportunity are afforded and necessity demands, yet it always has been and always will be witli the kindest feelings of love aud brother hood for those whom we have opposed. We know that there are as good and honest, as upiight, sincere and cousci tntious men in the ranks of the third party in this county, and all over the State, as can be found anywhere—men whom we have honored and esteemed ever since we kuew them, and it is with no ill will or malice that we have opposed them, but because, with equal honesty and conscientiousness with themselves, we thought they were wrong. And the logic of events has borne out the truth of our position. But we would not tantalize our friends in their defeat. We would pour the oil of consolation into their wounds and bruises. We would be reconciled and invite them again to take part with us in doing battle for our rights and for relief under the folds of the grand old democratic banner. Let us have peace and reunion again forever. No longer let households and communities be divided against each other, but let there be unity and har mony. We do not rejoice becauso yoti have been defeated, but because the right has prevailed, and we again call upon you to be united with us. Let us, shoulder to shoulder, stanj united against the common foe, not led by men who have been soured and who are embittered against us. but by those whom we have known and honored all their lives, who are a part of us. whoso interests are identical with ours and who will lead us to victory. May God in His wisdom and love spare us from further disunion and sep aration, and make of us a united, pros perous and happy people.—Thomaston Times. MACUNE GIVES GOOD ADVICE. Ho Says the Third thirty Is as Dead ns Can Be and Urges Alltancemen to Save the Order. Out:i.iKa, At, a., November s.—The AUiaucetneu of this section are return ing to the Democratic fold. A decid ed change has came over many of those who strayed off from Democracy to follow Captain Kolb, and Dr. Macune, i the famous Alliance leader, is said to i he responsible for the change, j The Doctor has been regarded as a 1 strong People’s party man, though he has held his counsel and has said noth ing. But a letter just received from a prominent Aliiauceaian here, shows that lm sees the inevitable dissolution i which stares the order in the face if it allows itself to he led off hy the Third party leaders, and his advice for them is to return to thu original purposes of tho Alliance aud eschew politics. That means, if it means anything, that the Alliance must repudiate the Third party aud that the members must vote as the}' have heretofore voted, not listening to those who would lead them from Democracy. Tho letter has created a decided sen sation here. ANI) AT MOBILE. Mobile, Ala., November s.—Hon. Daniel Smith, leading allianeeman, Miibile county, received tho following letter from the chairman of tho exec utive board of the National Farmers’ Alliance : “Washington, November 3.—1 tako the liberty of writing you as an influ ential allianeeman of tho state to say, I now think it necessary, if wo pre serve tho order, that we at once go to work and urge all Alliancemen, re gardless of political affiliations, again to come to tho ranks and put their shoulders to the wheel, assuring them that we will make it in fact, as well as in name, a non-partisan oiganization. The complete defeat of the People’s party, which has every day been more apparent since the Georgia election, must not he allowed to destroy the Al liance, and we can prevent it by timely and wise action. Let the spirit of in terference cease. Fraternally, C. W. Macune.” The Georgia synod of tho Presby toaian church was held last week at Cartersville. There were more than 100 members in attendance, Prominent divines from Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, Savannah and other points were present, Among them Drs. Mack, state evangelist; Barnett, Stickeer, Jen nings, Vass, Cleveland, Goetchius, Laker and many others. Past Mod erator Vass of Savannah opened the services of the session in a splendid dis cussion of the advancement of the church of Christ aud its cost. After his sermon he organized the synod for business, and Rev. W. 11. Jennings of Macon was made moderator over Dr. Mack by a small majority of three votes, af.er a cost spirited and inter esting race. Dr. Cleveland of Atlanta was made secretary without opposition. A IG-year old boy, an inmate of tbe reform school at New Brunswick, N. J., iias completed a long fast which he un dertook under circumstances out of the ordinary. lie had been an inmate of the institution but a short wl ile when Ids stomach began to trouble him, and could retain nothing he ate. The result was that he lost all use of his lower limbs and could only get about by crawling. Some time ago be asked for sweet oil with which to rub himself, saying that, with the use of the oil, he would fast fifty-one day, which he be lieved would cure him. Three times a day regularly ho rubbed himself with the oil, and when he finished his fast the other day it was said that he ap peared well and happy. An exchange truthfully says that while you are searching for the “wan dering boy, to night” you might inquire about the wandering girl also. The wandering boy 13 persuaded home and the fatted calf is killed, but the poor wanderirg girl, whose sin is no greater, is cast off in her shame and dif grace, and her only solace is in death. The most dangerous ciasses wc have in this country are the men who buy votes and the men who sell them. It is hard to distinguish between the two, but the man who buys seems to be the worst, and both should bo disfranchised. —Alliance Plow Boy. | 'ihe soldiers’ home, if accepted by the legislature, will saddle an annual debt of at least $20,000 on the people of Georgia, for the benefit of—a few pets and—Atlanta.

She was the beautiful and cultivated Ethelrida Martingale. But what mattered that to him? He loved her. Love is the groat leveler. Not that it had leveled tho sweet, pale Ethelrida exactly, for it had not, but it had knocked John out flat. Happy Ethelrida, for she had the bulge on him. It was ever thus. In love’s sandwiches one piece of bread will always have more butter on it than tho other will. Yet Ethelrida was not cruel, and she did not long to let him drop hard enough to cripple him for life. On tho contrary, says tho Detroit Free Press, she sought to let him down ou the silver strands to beds of thorn less roses. But John wouldn’t havo it. Nor is our horo tho only matt built that way. Ho loves hot little, or not at all, Who fears the dampness of his fall. That was John Smith all over, and still John was no slouch, as tho word goes. Ethelrida knew what was coming, but sho was powerless to prevent it, unless she took an ax to John, and sho hesitated to resort to harsh measures. Woman's nature is ever gentle. It was a calm and beautiful Sabbath evening wheu John called for the last time. “1 love you, Ethelrida,” ho whisper ed, low and lisping, at about 11 o’clock, “and I want you for my wife.” It was then apparent to Ethelrida that Mr. Smith meant business. “It cannot he, I fear,” she replied, stand him off. “Papa it unutterably opposed to our union, and he has said he will lock me in my room and keep me there if I persist iu seeing you.” That was a tip John should have acted upon : that and the palpable fact that Ethelrida did not rush to his throb bing bosom like an undammod torrent, when ho had so unmistakably blazed the way for her. “Love laughs at locksmiths,” he said, courageously, ignoring the surface indications. Again was the fair girl balked in her generous purpose, and there came into her lace the hard, cold lines of resolu tion and into her eyes tho cruel glint of justice 'oug deferred. “Yes, and at John Smith’*,” she ad ded, a naive simplicity scarcely con cealing the edge of the sword. And John (led away into the misty, murky darkness of unforgettable disap pointment. Couldn’t Kluinmux That Walter. The young man from the country took bis green necktie and his best girl iuto a restaurant, and, like some men when the girls are around, be was dis posed to be facetious at tbe waiter’s ex pense. “Waiter,” be said, “bring me a broiled elephant.” “Yassir,” replied the waiter, perfect ly unmoved. “And, waiter, bring it on tone!.” “Yassir.” Then be stood there like a Maine for a minute. “Well,” said tbe young man, ‘are you going to bring it ?” “Yassir.” “Why don’t you, then.” “Orders is, sir, dat wo ban to git pay in r dranee for elephants, sir. Kle piiants on toast, sir, am $,8,000.25; ef you take it widout toast, sir, it an: only SIB,OOO, sir.” Tbe waiter never smiled, but tin girl did, and the young man climbed down.

A round-faced, apple-cheeked and pleasant looking little old man sat by the side of his rather acrid-loookiug and elderly wife on the way home from au excursion trip, o r, a 3 the old man called it, “a little excursion toot.” He was full of delightful memories of all ho had seen and heard, says the Detroit Free Press, but his wife looked sad and unsmiling. Presently the old man pulled out a little old buck skin bag and shook a silver dime and a nickel out of it. “There, Ar’minty,” he said to his wife, and ho held out the money on tho palm of his hand, “there’s all that’s left out of a $2 bill I tuk for spendin’ money.” “1 know it, Nathan, and I think it’s turriblo,” replied tho wifo. ♦‘Shucks! I don’t, f b’lievo in havin’ a good time when you set out to.” “We could of had a good time ’thout wastin’ all that money.” .“Wastin’ it? Shucks! , ITain’t it right for a feller to hev a little enj’v ment out of his life ?” “Ono kin hev onj’yment ’thout com rnittin’ all sorts of sinful extravagance. It jist makes mo sick to think o’ how you’ve (lung money ’round to-day.” “W hat’d I git that was -so dretful extravagant ?” “Well, you went beyond all reason iu ov’rything. What airthly need was there of ye buvin’ soda water twice ?” “ ’Cause I wanted it twice.” “0, yes ; you alius was one to pam per the ttesh. An’what airthly need had wo o’ that 10 cents worth o’ bolo ny sossige ? Fivo cents worth would o’ been a-plenty.” “Wo et it all, jist the same.” “Et it ? Of courso wo et it; you reckon I was goin’ to add waste to ex travagance by throwin’ any of it away? And what need had wo o’ them sweet crackers when we’d tuk along more gud bread and butter an’ pio than we could eat ?” “I thiuk sweet crackers go mighty good once in awhile.” “Well, wo ain’t made o’ money to spend on high livin’, no matter what’s good. An’ look at them peanuts you went an’ bought. Half of ’em was bad. Peanuts are onhealthy things, anyhow.” “Then you’d ort to be glad that half of ’em was too bad for us to cat.” “They cost five cents all tho same. An’ hero I been chilly an’ mizzable all day on ’count that ice cream I did my best to keep you from orderin’. I luiowed it wouldn’t agree with my stummick.” “You oughten’t to have et it then.” “I had to eat it after you’d went and wasted good money for it. It just seemed as though you was bound arid determined to fling money away to-day: you acted hke you was a millionaire, I declare if you didn’t, Nathan Sipes.” The Testlmonals Published on behalf of Hood’s Sar saparilla arc as reliable and as worthy your confidence, as if they came from your best and most trusted neighbor.
