A writer in the Atlanta Constitution lints describe-, an ellegant home in Stock bridge : "The prettiest sight that has greeted 'my eyes in many a day was that of a brighi-ev< tl, beautiful little tot feeding her pigeons. They were great fri- lids —this little one and her pigeons—and it was evident from the way they flew about her, pearched upon her and took their meals from her hands and mouth that were on the chummiest of terms. A Kodak snapshot enabled me to show something of that picture, but no news paper cut would do justice to the scene as I remenber it. The little one was Mr. Hob Hemphill’s habv daughter. She is three years old, bright and pretty ; and as she fed tlie white-wing ed pigeons she seemed a part of her surroundings. It was at their country home near Stockbridge, There Mrs. Hemphill and her children and Mrs. Hemphill’s mother, Mrs C. A. l’itts, spend their summers. The home is an ideal one—a cottage situated iti a beautiful grove, surrounded by broad fields. The home is just what a home should be for comfort, the grove is a positive luxury—such a grove as deni zens of the city see m their dreams, hut seldom are privileged to see. Then thei e is the garden and the orchard, wherein there is always an abundance of fruits, berries, melons and all the delicacies of the country. All of these things attracted me as 1 drove up to the house and wandered' over the grounds, hut none were as attractive as the children and the pig eons. T here were pigeons and pigeons— white winged beauties, beauties with wings tipped in the color of the rain bow. As the golden haired lassie stood with Iter arms outstretched, they flew to lit r, cooing lovingly and gath ered about her in a way that showed they knew her and loved her. The pigeons were friendly with others, too. I saw the two little sisters seated on the ground with pigeons all around them, and in another group were visit ing lady friends, who seemed to enjoy the novelty as much as did the little ones ” How He Solti the Goods. “Have you got any huff trimming to go with this stuff ?” asked a flashily dressed woman of an assistant in a large draper’s near Regent street the other day. "1 think so, miss,” answered the po lite young man, taking down a piece of goods and spreading it on the counter. "Ruff! Do you call that buff?” ex claimed the woman That’s too dark for a huff.” “But, miss, that is” “It’s too dark ! I can see it is.” “Why, of course it’s dark, madam,” persisted the man. “It's blind man's buff—the new shade, you see.” He sold the goods.— London Tit- Bits. The First Horn. Young Father—l am amazed, shock ed, my dear, to hear you say you in tend to give the baby some paregoric. Don’t you know paregoric is opium, and opium stunts the growth, enfeebles the constitution, weakens the brain, destroys the nerves, and produces rick ete, marasmus, consumption, insanity and death ?” Young Mother—Horrors! 1 never heard a word about that. I won’t give the little ducy darling a drop, no. in deedy. Hut something must he done to stop his yelling. You can carry ' him awhile. Father (after an hour’s steady stamp ing with the squalling infant) —Where in thunder is that paregoric?—New j York Weekly. The Danger Signal. When nature raises the flag of dis tress in the shape of sores, ulcers, boils, pimples and blotches, the stngnal should be promptly heeded. As cities threat ened with disease are disinfected, so should the human system he treated. No mote powerful or more successful disinfectant and purifier than S. S. S. has ever been discovered. It figs ac compjished wonderful results, and there are thousands of people in this country to dav who regard the proprietors of S. S. S. as benefactors. What it has already accomplished it will continue to accomplish. It is already establish ed as a stiple family medicine. Mr. A. B Laforme, Boston, Mass., says: I ordered and distributed one dozen large bottles Bradycrotine among my friends afflicted with headache, and iu every case it has afforded almost in stantaneous relief. AND HENRY COUNTY TIMES. mcdonough, ga.. Friday. September ii, isdi. ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL COMMANDING. Atlanta, Ga., Sep. 3, 1881). To Tin-: Kx-SoLuntns ano Sailors Of TllE CONKKDKK YTE STATES OE America : The convention of delegates from the different s ates which assembled in New Orleans, June 10, 188!), effected a general organization known as the “United Confederate Veterans.” It is designed as an association of all the bodies of ex-Confederate Veterans and Sailors thioughout the U.,ion. The convention adopted a constitution and did me the great honor to elect me General, which position I accepted with peculiar gratification Prelimina ry to the issue of the orders I wish to call general attention to the OBJECT OF THIS ASSOCIATION and to enlist in their accomplishment to active co-operation not only of every survivor of Southern armies, hut also the large contingent of sons of veterans who, too young to have received the baptism ol fire, h ive nevertheless re ceived with you the baptism of suf fering and of sacrifice. The first article of the constitution of the association declares : “ The ob ject and purpose of this organization will be strictly social, literary, histori cal and benevolent. It will endeavor to unite in a general federation all as sociatious of the Cjufederate veterans, soldiers and sailors now in existence or hereafter to he formed ; to gather au thentic data for an impartial history of the war between the states ; to pre serve the relics or mementoes of the same ; to cherish the ties of friendship that should exist among the men who have shared common dangers, common suffering and privati >n ; to care for the disabled and extend a helping hand to the needy ; to protect the widow and orphan and to make and preserve the record of the services of every member and as far as possible, of those of our comrads who have pieceded us in eter nity.” The last article provides that nei ther discussion or political or religious subjects nor any political action shall be permitted in the organization and any association violating that provision shall forfeit its membership. GOOD OBJECTS. Comrades, no argument is needed to secure for those objects your enthusi astic endorsement. They have bur dened your thoughts for many years, you have cherished them in sorrow, poverty and humiliation. In the face of rnisconstructian you have held them in your heart with the strength of re ligious convictions. No misjudgements can defeat your peaceful purposes for the future. Your aspirations have been lifted by the mere force and urgency of surrounding conditions to a plane far above the paltry consideration of partisan triumph. The honor of the American Republic, the just powers of the federal government, the equal rights of states, the integrity of the constitutional union, the sanctions of law and the enforcement of order have no c'ass of defenders more true and devoted than the ex soldiers of the South and their worthy descendants. But you realize the great truth that a people without the memories of hero ic sufferings and sacrifices are A PEOPLE WITHOUT A HISTORY. To cherish such memories and recall such a (last, whether crowned with success or consecrated in defeat, is to idealize principle and strengthen char acter, intensify love of country and convert defeat and disaster into pillars of support for future manhood. Wheth er the Southern people under their changed conditions may ever hope to witness another civilization which shall equal that which began with their Washington and ended with their Lee, it is certainly true that devotion to their glorious past is not only the surest guarantee of future progress and the holiest bond of unity, hut is also the strongest claim they can present to the confidence and respect of the other sec tions of the Union. Nos|-POI.|TH A 1.. In conclusion I hog to repeat, in substance at least, a few thoughts re cently expressed by me to the state or ganization, which apply with equal force to this general brotherhood. It is political in no sense except so far as the word “political” is a synonym of the word “patriotic.” It is a broth : erhood over which the genius of phil anthropy and patriotism, of truth and of justice will preside; of philanthropy, h cause it will succor the disabled, help the needy, strengthen the weak and cheer the disconsolate; of patriotiso}, because it will cherish the past glorit*> of the dead Confederacy and transmute them into living inspirations for future service to the living republic; of truth, because it will seek to gather and (ire serve as witnesses for history the un impeachable facts which shall doom falsehood to die that truth may live; of justice, because it will cultivate nation al as well as Southern fraternity and will condemn narrow-mindedness and prejudice and passion, and cultivate that broader, higher, nobler sentiment, which would write on the grave of ev ery soldier who fell on either side : “Here lies an American hero, a mar tyr to the right as his conscience con ceived it.” (Hi N Kli ALOK< 1A NIZ AT I ON. I rejoice that a general organization too long neglected has been at last per fected. It is a biotherliood which all honorable men must approve and which heaven itself will bless. I call upon you therefore to organize in every state and community where ex-Confederates may reside and rally to the support of the high and peaceful objects of the “United Confederate Veterans,” and move forward until by the power of organization and persistent effort your beneficent and Christian purposes are fully accomplished. .1. B. Gordon. Com. General. For Baby’s Sake. We witnessed the othor uveiling a touching incident that occurred on one of the streets of the beautiful Gate City of the South. In the doorway of a drinking saloon stood two men who bore the traces ol recent dissipation. The elder, and if possible more dissipated looking, was urging his companion to step inside ami take a ‘smile,’ as lie termed it. He was about to comply with the request when a woman stepped for ward. In the glare of the street lamp it was evident that she was young and once beautiful—perhaps before she bore that dreadful brand upon Iter face, the brand of a drunkard’s wife. “Don’t go, John, for my sake,” she said pleadingly. With an oath the husband turned to join his drunken companion. Nothing daunted, she stepped for ward again, and laying her hand softly on the man’s arm whispered : “Don’t go for baby’s sake.” “For baby's sake!” The words were like magic. And here was a pic ture. In the glare of the street lamp stood the tempter, the tempted, and the noble, patient wife. A moment of suspense followed, while the woman scanned eagerly the bloated face of her husband. She conquered. Turning from his compan ion, he whispered lioarsidy : “Go on, Ben, I am not with you to night Then turning to his wife, ’Mary, God giving ine the strength, I’ll never drink another drop—for ha by’s sake.” She drew her faded shawl about her, and we watched them walk away to gether in the darkness, to the little child at home all unconscious of the noble work performed. Something like tears glistened in our eyes, and a fervent prayer arose to God to give that father strength to resist temptation. “For baby’s sake.” What a tem perance lecture—grander than ever giv en by Gough. Young men—fathers—ye who stand on the brink of destruction with the yawning chasm of intemperance at your feet, stand hack! Dash the wine cup from your lips—“for baby’s sake. Old Mr. Ifayrake.—You city fellows are mighty sly. You come up here aud take our pretty girls out sailing and buggy riding; but I notice you never talk none about it. Tom De Wit—No, when we go to see a gii 1 more than once the whole village does the talking. Wife—l am going to economize in our household, George. Husband—Why, you prudent little soul, huw '( I’m going to discharge our servant and get an oldet person. Well, that will do no good ; the older one will demand just as much wages.

As we passed Santa Fe alley we heard a pistol go off followed by several successive reports, but as there was nothing unusual in a fusilade of that sort, we kept on. It was not un til we had entered the I’ost-Ortice that Col. Itwin caine running in to inform us that we had been shot at. It seemed that our esteemed contem porary had ambushed us at the alley and fired his first shot. Then he fol lowed on and plugged away five times more without our suspecting it, and finding lie could not accomplish any thing lie sat down on a barrel and cried like a hov.

Alpharetta, Ga., September 2. 1 lie marriage on Wednesday afternoon, of Mr. J. W Parks and Miss Emma McElreath. was altogether a most novel affair. Wednesday afternoon as (lie ladies who form a class at the schoolroom of tlie “National Garment Gutter” were assembling, they met at the classroom a pretty country lass, who, upon inter rogation, said site had come “just to look on.” Mr. Simons, one of the firm teaching this method, soon entered, and, seeing this new comer, cheerfully came to the conclusion, “another new scholar,” and scarcely had his hopes been enter, tained, when in came the smiling, gen ial Esquire Seale, who excitedly asked Mr. Simons if lie could “carry on a wedding in here,” “Yes,” said lie, “and I will help you.” Forthwith a table was produced. Mr. Mitchell, of the firm, asked to assist in reading over the license, and then the ‘squiro announced ready. And who should appear as t lie bride elect but Mr. S inions’s “new scholar.” A young man appeared upon the scene, and, removing his hut, lie took the fair one by tlie hand and they pre sented themselves before the improvis ed alter to be married, and were promptly made man and wife. ’Squire Seale acquitted himself with great credit and brevity, and after blessing the couple hade them God s|>eed on their life's journey. Mr. Simons says that the ’squire blessed them, hut others claim that he said, “May the Lord have mercy on your poor souls.” The Girl to l>e Avoided.

She is the girl who tries to induce you, “just for fun,” to smoke a cigar ette, or to take a glass of wine, and you don’t know, and possibly she does'nt, that many of the sinners of to-day committed their first sins “just for fun.” She is the girl that persuades you that to stay at home and care and love your own, to help mother and to have your pleasures at home and where the home people can see them, is stupid and tiresome ; and that spending the af ternoon walking up anddown the street looking at the windows and the people, is “just delightful.” She is the girl that persuades you that slang is witty, that a loud dress that attracts attention is “stylish,” and that your own simple gowns are dowdy and undesirable. Site does’nt know nor do you, bow many women have gone to destruction because of their love for fine clothes. She is the girl who persuades you that to be on very familiar terms w ith three or four young weu is an evidence of your charms and fascination, instead of being, as it is, an outward visible sign of your perfect folly. She is the girl who persuades you that it is a very smart thing to be re ferred to as “a gay girl.” She is very, very much mistaken.” And, of all others, she is the girl who, no matter bow bard she may try to make you believe in her, is to be avoided —Ladies’ Home .Journal.

Sum .tones us u Drayman. Before Sam .lones went to preach j ing he ran a public dray in Carters i ville, bis native town, 110 was a famil iar figure around the depot, and he at that tinje hauled all tho drummers’ trunks from the depot to the hotel. Many veteran drummers yet remomher Sam as a drayman. His outfit was a I small rickety, rattling, ramshackling wagon and an old sorrel horse, that was old and experienced enough to have come down from the revolution ary war. This horse was a character in his way, and some people say lie was tho cause of Sam’s reformation. He was as humble as a horse as one would wish to see. He submitted to all of Sam’s cull's and rebtills without any protest other than mildly backing his flea-bitten ears. He had an air of one who was always deeply engaged in thought, and looked upon the frivolities of this life with supreme disdain. And then Sam’s horse was extremely un sociable in his tempermetit. He never cared to make any new acquaintances and seemed desirous of treading the wine press of sorrow alone. For many days he went on in the same quiet way drawing Sam’s rickety old day with sublimest fortitude. It was never nec essary for Sam to tie him when he left him, for he had such insurmountable constitutional objections to locomotion that there was little danger of him ta king his departure. So Sam thought, and so it « as for many, many days. * * l!ut things do not always remain the same, alas ! fine day Sam’s horse was seon. to the most extreme surprise of tho Car tersvillians tearing down Main street followed by the dray which was roll ing from one side to the other. Down the street he went like mad, and it seemed wonderful to those who knew him intimately that he could acquire such speed. Sam, who had left him for some purpose, stood watching his mad career eagerly. “lie’s decided to emigrate,” Sam remarked, as the horse continued his wild flight. Presently the horse swerved to the weight and tho wagon struck against a tree with a crash and came to a stand still. I’he spectators all went down to survey the wreck. It was a complete one, indeed. Sam stood and looked at it in silence for some moments in deep reflection. There was a pathos in his voice when he finally turned around and said : , “I guess I'll have to find some o'hcr way to make a living.” In a few weeks Sam left Carters ville and went down near Colum bus. ‘‘The next 1 heard or saw of Sam,” said the gentleman who told mo the story, ‘lib came hack to Cartersville and preached a sermon. I went out to hear him, and 1 1 ever saw such a complete change in i. man.” A Colonel By Marriage. A traveler in Texas says that he was riding along a catile trail near the New Mexico line when be met a rath er pompous looking nat've of the re gion, who introduced himself as Col. Higgins, of Devil’s Uiver. “Were you a colonel in the confed erate army ?” I asked. “No, sab.” “On the Union side, then ?” “No, sab: nevah wa3 in no war.” “Belong to the Texas Ifangers r” “No, sab, I do not.” “Ah I see. You command one of the state militia regiments ?” “No, sab, I don’t. Don't know nothing about soldiering.” “Where, then, did you get the rank of colonel ?” “Use a kunnel by marriage, sab.” “By marriage ? How’s that ?” “I married the widow of a kunnel, sah; Kunuel Thompson, of Waco.” The juice of a half lemon in a tea cup of strong black coffee, without su gar, will often cure a sick heailache.
