The Herald, at thin, the happiest of all seasons, wishes “above all things” to appear in the homes of its subscribers, patrons and friends, with the greeting of a loyal democrat, in full sympathy with the great masses of the people who con stitute the bone and sinew of this country. And as we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the lowly Xazarine, whose life and life’s work was a proclamation of general amnesty to rebellious subjects, we should not be unmindful of the di vinely appointed precept and example portrayed in the life and suffering of the Saviour. To be useful in whatever sphere of life we enter, to exemplify the principles contained in the great truths that it is “better to give than to receive,” and to appear as a living, walking, work ing personification of the great expound er of moral ethics, who formed and moulded the thoughts embodied golden rule, and bade us do unto others as we would have them do unto us. The IIeram> would'fain flood every home on the eve of this glad anniversary with peace, happiness and contentment, draw as with silken chords the sting from t ery wounded heart, place a cornucopia the lap of every needy sufferer, and place every lonely orphan in a condition so replete with joy, until a sense of neglect would no longer find n place in their Itosom. The |>oeiu, “An Old Rag I toll,” found in this issue of the Herai.i>, is a true history of too frequent occurrence. The care-worn face lay under the sod. While Charity preached in the house of God. I-et those whose impulses are moved by motives of charity bestir themselves in nn effort to render substantial aid to the poor, to the neglected, to their ueighlior* ami their neighbor's children. It appear* from a communication from Capt. 11. W. Reed elsewhere in these columns, that n local paragraph, as cribed to an industrious local quill driver, touched him in a tender spot and he proceeds to ameliorate the politi cal disaster, by placing himself in the position of mentor to the erratic reporter whose palpable uneasiness it was thought might result in an epileptic stroke. If, from some hot-bed of political science, a recipe in the .form of a nuncupative poultice, waa not gotten up by himself to restore the mental equilibrium of the unfortunate reporter. After dumping that mass of information up An us con tained in the assertion that the forma tion of the American republic, together with its constitution, was both a revela tion and an innovotion in the science of jiolitics, and that custom and usage were not in it, proceeds to show that the cus tom and usage, peculiar to the people of this country, have experienced a change during the past hundred years, to all of which the Herai.ii assents, and respect fully submits that more important, thor ough and efficient changes have been ex perienced during the past twelve months. But perhaps a discussion upoh a plain so broad as the republic and the constitu tion of these United States would not be german to the question of propriety the individual right of voters not willing to support a ticket made up of their per sonal friends and placed in nomination by their own votes, simply because such support would abridge individual rights at the ballot box. Capt. Reed i* evidently loaded with a very great respect for the will of the majority, notwithstanding he attempts to defend his resolution by citing the fact that those who oppose it strongest, have themselves been bolters, all of which goes to support Capt. Reed's proposition that things have changed. Plant avenue has been filled with a merry, hustling throng this week, peer ing into the shop windows, decorated with a dazzling display of holiday goods to tempt the hurried passer by, inside the busy merchants, with all the help they could command, served the eager throngs iu search of fine toys for the little ones at home, or some rare gift for loved ones, and aa the bundles were — made up, each with their treasure de parted with the bright beams of joy and satisfaction sparkling on their happy faces. It is well to be happy. It is a ''fine thing to be able to supply the means which afford so much pleasure just now to the little ones who gather at the fami ly fireside at eventide, whose every-day prattle for many days has been full of wonders about the mysterious coming of Santa Claus, through whose dreams he has flashed with his wonderful sleigh. But will kind bands lead him to every poor child’s cradle, or pallet, and will the hearts of all these little ones leap with joy to-morrow ? , Gentle reader, if there is any thing in this picture to dampen the ardor of your own joy, remember that He who an nounced—“The poor you have always with you,” would have you remember them to-day, and add to your pleasure by erecting for yourself a monument in the heart ot some little hoy or girl. The cheapest and best cook stoves ever put on the market in iWaycrosa, at A.* B. Bennett’s. Atlanta, ChL, Dec. 19.—It is seldom that a negro is the recipient of such an honor and compliment as that paid to Representative Styles, a member of the legislature from Liberty county, by the Fulton County Confederate Veterans’ Association. It was his reward for the stand he took in the fight over the bill accepting the home for ex-confederate soldiers in the legislature. That stand which marked representative Styles deserving a niche in the history of the state, when the illiterate black man with the loyal devotion of a gone generation beaming in his shining face arose in Georgia’s House of Representatives and with modest fervor trembling in his speech pleaded for a shelter for the fee ble old soldier who had fought in the past to maintain his bondage, gave to the world an example of patriotism that must stand forever a eredit to his color. The unassuming negro’s simple appeal [sent a thrill through the House that was not kindled by the eloquence of the old soldiers’ most brilliant champion. FEI.T BY THE VETERANS. That thrill went out from the legisla tive halls and pervaded the hearts of the veterans everywhere who heard of it. Soon after Representative Styles’ speech for the home a movement was started to fitly acknowledge his patriotic stand and to-night the veterans’ association met and formally presented him with a hand some gold-headed cane. Rev. Sam Small made the presenta tion speech. The hall of the veterans was crowded. Representative Styles was introduced >v President Calhoun, who had called a ijieeinl meeting for the purpose of com plimenting the negro member from Lib erty. Representative Styles made a speech before the veterans that was af fecting in its earnestness and feci ing for the great compliment bestowed upon him. Afterward the association was pre sented with a photograph of the old who, as a slave was faithful in war and as a freedman was still true to hi: st. The photograph was accepted by »idcnt Calhoun of the association ii appropriate speech, and it will haug the walls of the association hall as t constant reminder of the fidelity of Rep' reselltntive Styles of Liberty. ObMi A merry Christmas and a happy new year to alL Glen more, detenu ined uot to be surpassed by her sister towns in celebrating the most joyous season of the year, offers two Christmas trees for that - event.

Citron, nuts, fruits and dainties of all kinds for your Christmas cakes at A. R. Bennett’s. Communicated. Editor Herald: The industrious local quill-driver who ha* heard it vaguely rumored that .“we live in a progressive age”—the thought of which causes him palpable uneasiness .—may have his mental equilibrium af fected to the point of epilepsy by the in formation I now give him that the for mation of our republic and of the Ameri can constitution “were both a revelation and an innovation in the science of poli tics,” and that “custom and usage were not in it.” He has made it incumbent on me to tell him that not only have the custom of usages of the people of this country undergone a complete change in the past hundred yeans; but the iron caucus rule of political parties that he seems to invest with the reverence due to hoary age, is of very modern origin and has seldom been applied to general meetings. It was certainly never contemplated by the founders of our government that the caucus, or moss meeting, should su percede or restrict the free ehoice of the individual at the ballot box. The resolution that I offered in our recent mass meeting was not intended to reflect upon any of tha candidate* nomi nated—all of whom are my personal friends—but it was intended to empha size a principal that is unfortunately being too often disregarded and which tends towards “ring rule,” or the control of an unwilling majority by a shrewd minority. 1 hold that even’ man’s freedom of choice should extend to the ballot box, as that is the only possible method by which the will of the majority can be guaranteed. It was a little singular tliat the most vigorous opponent to my resolution has on several well known occasions bolted meetings, in which he had undertaken to participate, because he discovered him self to be in a minority after the organi zation was completed in iris presence. He who undertakes to handicap the individual voter, by caucus or other methods, usually live* to regret his ef forts in that direction. H. W. Reed. This remedy is becoming known and so popular as to need no special mention.

The laws of health are taught in the schools ; but not in a way to be of much practical benefit and are never illustrated by living examples, which in many cases might easily be done. If some scholar, who had just contracted a cold, was brought before the school, so that all could hear the dry, loud cough and know it significence; sec the thin white coating on the tongue and later, as the cold developed, see the profuse watery expectoration and thin watery discharge from the nose, not one of them would ever forget what tbe first symptom* of a cold were. The scholar should then be given Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy freely, that all might see that even a se vere cold could be cured in one or two days, or at least greatly mitigated, when properly treated as soon as the first sym ptoms appear. This remedy is famous for it’s cures of coughs, colds and croup. It is made especially for these diseases and is the most prompt and most relia ble medicine known for the purpose.

A very curious item in toxicological lore I chanced to light upon may be called the feat of poisoning by sleight oi hand. Yon were jealous of a lady and yon wished to kill her. Well, yon asked her to lunch, and yon caused a very nice peach to be served at dessert You cut the fruit with a golden knife, one side of the blade of which was endued with a deadly poison. You presented the poisoned half of the peach to the lady, who ate it with much relish and then dropped down dead. The wholesome half you ate yourself, and laughed in your sleeve, and went on slicing more peaches for the ladies ot whom you were jealous—till you were found out and broken on the wheel* Aye, there’s the rnb! What high old times we might have, to be sure, but for that plaguey contingency of being found out. —G. A. Sala in Loudon Sunday Timex A Bowery Sign. A Bowery sign which has added to the gayety of the travelers on the Third avenue elevated for some weeks has re cently disappeared. Men forgot bnsi ness and politics for a brief moment while contemplating it, and careworn women eased their burdens long enough to smile as they were whirled past it. It was large and lurid, telling in big letters that within the first convention of “Lady Pie Eaters” was in session, three gayly dressed females, nearly life size, with Abbreviated skirts and French gaiters and each holding a hnge triangle of pie. illustrating the type of member a Fur ther than this their iden .ty was not established.—New York Timex A certain cure for Chronic Sore Eves, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Old Chronic Sores, Fever Sores, Eczema, Itch, Prairie Scratches, Sore Nipples and Piles.
