(treat lot of things have hap* pened since then,” said the first. “Yes, indeed. Look at myself. Sure it’s married I am,” replied Clancy. “You don’t tell me ? Hare you any thing to show for it ? asked O’Grady. “Faith and I liave that. I’ve got a fine, healthy boy, and the neighbors say he’s just the picture of me." C'Grady looked at Clancy, who wasn’t! built on the lines of a prize beauty. “Ah, well, what’s the harrurn so long as the child's healthy?”—Buffalo En quirer. “Well, he asked me and 1 said ‘Yes.’ and then he just stood up and folded his .arms.” “What!

A* Seva by a Yo A young friend who liaa been spend ing the winter on the blue shores of the Mediterranean, as the guest of the Direc tor of the King’s Palace, writes us in a vein so delightfully boyish and yet so brim full of the Ameri can M-uae of humor and penetra tion into the t>ham» and defects of old world civilizAtiou that we give an ex tract from the letter to the readers of The Herald. He says: “I can’t say that I urn having exactly what you would call “one round of joy,” as the town is dull, the weather not es- jtecially glorious, the much-talked-of Kxpositiou uu unqualified fiasco, and the whole situation generally tiresome. Palermo is a town of about 150,000 inhabitants, who are divided between the hideously jawr, the clergy, and the nobility, some of whom are worth quite a good deal. One of the richest men in July (much richer than the King, by the way) lives here. They say he is worth $50,000,000, which is a much bigger fortune here than it would be in the United States. The town is situated in a sort of ani- •hitheater of hills, and is divided by wo streets, the Via Mageada and the ’ia del Como, which run from side to side, and end to cud, and meet in the middle, dividing the town into four quarters. MEN PAINT AND POWDER. The men here are, mostly undersized, and the «dd ones palbt, pad, dye their hair and jiowder frightfully. My host, rho is «’ charming man otherwise, is lnor.g the latter class. The Palermitan ladies are not espe tal ly remarkable except for the fact that they iqscnd their last plnuy on their ilets, and after all are horribly dressed. The palace'is situated on a slight hill one end of the Como, which comes up am the hay. The Exposition is at one end of the ia Mageada, which runs at right angles to the t'oraO. This beautiful example of Italian industry (?) is a fraud, so I will st describe it The palace was built by the Normans, added to by theSarecens, Bourbons, ., aud very wisely let alone by the reigning dynasty. There is nothing of interest in it except the Royal Chapel, which is made entirely of mosaic, and is y beautiful, besides being the biggest piece of mosaic in the world. Neamthe palace are the quarters of the Bersagleri, the crack troops of Italy ; they drill extremely well, and are only stationed in the largest towns. They my window every morning with much tooting of horns and squealing of children, on their way to drill. )T UP TO THE AMERICAN STANDARD. The rest of the town is much like other European places with smells and dirt and beggars, and is almost fifty a hundred yean behind the United States. receive The Herald every week, and find it full of interest—not a dull bit in it.

The preacher mist be thor oughly in earnest, and know wlut intends to say, or he will fail to move men. I lore to hear a preacher that is in earnest and makes feel. Heaven pity a man who can dare try to preach when he is not in earnest! Declamation fills the ear, style pleases the eye, lta& earnestness—a soul on fire with interest—reaches the heart To be thoroughly in earnest is to be thoroughly eloquent 1 hare been told by a preacher that the way to know what you intend to talk about is to study, and the way to be in earnest is to pray. said that John Knox’i heard him praying at midi Tying in indescribable “God give me Scotland.” It is H t to fray it^ and he nestneass,* ■MK that Wesley was known to fray before service until he was quite w^l.with pera- piratiou. Spurgeon has written a little tract called “The Preacher’s fertyer.’* It* shows the wonderful famnalnMN^ prayerful ness of that | Siwt^good ui. In the pulpit mto ogiajtov* -n of power. I remember. to hare heard an old man preach jifth iriuch force. He felt every word lie said and made his hearers feel it, too,*: I wonder ed at the old man’s eloquence. and pow er, but the mystery was night I overheard him at hiVpriiJile de- votions, and the earnestness of his pray er was equaled only by the’'earnestness of his sermon. Every succeAftj|, preach er is an curnest one. If youfcAre not in earnest—deeply in earnest about your preaching—get in earnest, and if you find that imposible why quit. It is per fectly incredible that any min who feels that the destiny of souls hong upon his words should be indifferent to the im portance of his work or cgrclcss as to words he speaks. The preacher who can habitually go to Ills pulpit without faith ful preparation and earnest prayer hu* the best of reasons to question his fitness for the sacred office. I know there is a theory among premiers ofa/cjitain class that preparation in unnecessary, and that the Lord will inspire them for the occasion. If such preachers could have a few of their sermons reported and put in cold print, just :is they delivered thorn, I imagine they would stop accus ing the good Lord of any such inspira tion. I have heard such a preacher say he was going to say just what the Lord gave him to say and then in conclusion pray the Lord to “forgive all he had said amiss” ! So he did uot believe himself. Be simple. The greatest of truths can be told in the simplest words. And God said, “Let there lie light, and there was light” How snblime that sentence of tnonosylables is! I once heard a young preacher begin a sermon this way: “A celebrated scientist has said ‘Life is a transition from our incoherent heteroge neity to a coherent homogeneity through multifarious disintegrations,” and it tickeled the school children wonderfully. Some preachers are like the one des cribed by a little girlr “Mamma, Mr. Blank is the smartest preacher I ever heard!”“ Why, toy child?” “Because I cannot understand what he says.” To make a pretense of great learning is silly and sinful. Learned men never do it Very few of the masses of the people use or even know the meaning, and the affectation of the pedantic preacher ia all lost on the should know the meaning of all the words in the dictionary—ay knew all languages, especially Greek and Hebrew; so everybody can under stand when he preaches. It is said Spurgeon’s favor lies in«his earnest, hon est simplicity. He simply believes what he tells the people with all his heart, aad does his utmost to persuade and convince them. He has great faith, not in Spurgeon but in Spurgeon’s Savior. This is a qualification that cannot be got in school houses, colleges nor books. Faith in what you preach Is essential to earnestness as well aa to honesty. A who will preach what he doubts, or docs not believe, for either ap plause, honor or pay is a miserable hypocrite, and unworthy of confidence. He who can trifle with God and the souls’of men ia inexpressibly bad. Be sure you believe what you preach. TOBACCO. Still the inquiricsroine pouring In with regard to this new industry, and the Herald is supplying seed to many of the farmers in this and adjoining ties who intend this year to raise some thing that will be more profitable than cotton.

Ami it is fitting, Mr. President, that these reunions should occur on the anni versary of the birth of our great com- I tnander, the immortal Lee. Welcome, thrice welcome, and God bless you! Col. F. II. Harris, of Brunswick, res ponded to the above welcome ably and eloquently. The address of Capt. Ben E. Russell, of Waycross, for repleteness in trac ing the coarse of the*immortal Lee, in peace and war, and of the leading cam- tire rising of the sun to its going down every heyt beat in unison to the pre cious memories to which the day is dedi cated, every man was a brother and a soldier, every child an atom of enthusi asm, ever)' woman an admiring friend ministering angel. At 10 o’clock a. m. our Ireautiful opera house presented an cxhilerating spectacle. On the stage FORTY-FOUR LOVEf.Y YOU NO LADIES, representing ever)' State in the Union, in white dresses, with red, white and blue sashes aud starry diadems, formed a cvmicircle around the distinguished offi cers and orators of the <lay. In the parquet and dress circle were seated the beloved war-scarred veterans of the South, and the youug heroes of the future, the Waycross Rifles; back of them the Brunswick Silver Cornet Band played at intervals |»opular Southern airs in a soul-stirring manner, and from the gallery looked down the sympathetic faces of the ladies and the happy chil dren, and in fact our commodious Ol’KRA HOUSE WAS PACKED, even to stumling room. Capt. U. Dart, of Brunswick, Presi dent of the South Georgia Veterans As sociation, presided with case mid grace, with Major J. A. Boyle, of Brunswick, acting as Secretary. After licing called to order, Rev. Mr. Qnarteruian, of Wav- cnxsx offered a most fervent and touch- iug prayer. Col. J. L. Sweat, the i>opular presi dent of the Waycross C. V. A., then made, to an appreciative aud cuthusi- astic-audienco, the following appropriate ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Mr. President:—Owing to its cen tral position and superior railroad facili ties, as wull us tlte proverbial hospital ity of her people, Waycross has fre quently been selected as the place of meeting of various organizations, and on many ot these occasions the pleasing duty has been assigned me of extending cordial welcome on her behalf. While words of welcome uttered by ie on these occasions have not been merely formal, but expressions ot the real genuine feelings entertained by our people, voiced and felt by me, yet in the performance of the duty assigned me at this hour, I come into this presence with emotions not felt on ordinary occasions. When I remember the stirring scenes of ’til to ’65, recalling the time when at country’s call the chivalric sons of the Soutn, leaving behind them homes, firesides, loved ones, all, went to the front to defend the right, where in sum mers heat and winters cold, severest pri vations and sufferings were felt; where, and weary, long and rapid marches were made and at night short rests taken with a stone for a pillow and the star-bedecked canopy for a covering, and these short rests disturbed by the fitful dreams of a far away home, of the white locks and wrinkled face of father, mother, or maybe, of a loving wife and tender child, till aroused by the bugle’s call or drum’s alarm.— And when with memory’s eye I behold these brave men as with steady tread and resolute lace they march forward to the scene of battle amid the rattle of musketry and heavy canonadc, whisper ing, it may be, a silent prayer to the God of battle to spare them if it be His will, if not, t j shield the widow and the fath erless, and as they charge into the stqjm of bullets and among crashing shells, hear the groans of the dying as they fall upon the right and on the left, and see the wounded as with sliattered limbs and bleeding bodies they are borne from the field of battle.— And now* when years have intervened and I am reminded of those of radcs who fell in the conflict, remember ing, that, "On tame* eternal camping ground Their silent tents are *|»rea«l, Where glory^gmmla with solemn round. The bivouac or the dead.” and before me see comrades who sur vived the carnage of war, with time rap idly depleting their ranks, and as I feel the silent eloquence of the empty sleeve, my very tool is made to thrill, and there comes from my heart of hearts not only the utterances of wannest welcome, but a ferrant God blots yon, my comrades, one and all. The ties which spring from as for its beautiful flights of eloquence, stamped him every inch an orator. The procession made up of veterans, the Waycross Rifles and Brunswick band, whose splendid music on the march and during the day was enjoyed by all, with Capt. E. H. Crawley as Marshal, formed a leading feature of the day’s exercises. And the dinner, with Mrs. W. A. McNeil and Mrs. W. W. Sharpe, and their noble corps of assis tants in charge, was such a feast as the hundreds who partook of it will testify is seldom enjoyed. The speech of Judge M. I* Mcrshon, of Brunswick, was the feature of the af ternoon session. This able jurist and splendid orator well sustained his repu- t at ion as a forcible and effective speaker A beautiful poem, contributed by Capt J. 1*. A. Dul’ont, of Clinch, was read by the Secretary, also a letter from the illustrious and well beloved General John B. Gordon, and but for the fact that the Secretary took these with him to Brunswick, The Herald would take pleasure in publishing them. Too much praise cannot Ik* accorded to Mrs. Lyon and those who assisted her iu rendering several old Confederate war songs, and in this connection especial mention should i»e made of the singing by the Brunswick (Quartett. Several short talks were made by vet erans and interesting war relics exhibi ted by them. Col. J. L. Sweat, whom we are in formed entered the army at the youth ful age of fourteen and a half years, and pcrha]»s the youngest veteran in the As sociation, received tho merited compli ment of being elected President of the South Georgia Confederate Veterans’ Association for the ensuing year, Major Boyle being re-elected Secretary and Dr. W. B. Burroughs, of Brunswick, Treas urer, with a Vice-President from each county, a list of whom we have not at hand. Rev. Mr. Quartcrman being elec ted Chaplain, Brunswick was selected na the place for the next reunion. Glynn, Camden, Charlton, Wayne, Pierce, Appling, Coffee, Berrien, Lowndes, Brooks, Echols, Clinch and Ware counties were well represented by veterans, and Waycross and all the sur rounding towns and country contributed their quoto of young and old, male and female. Altogether, it is estimated that fully fifteen hundred jteople were in atten dance. And that Waycross covered her self all over with glory in making the reunion so magnificent a success was the verdict of all. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. smoa w. nnvii bow. m. xvn*.
