memorial to Congress, in relation to
the ereotiou of public buildings in
Brunswick, passed, through his exer-
tioDS, by both bouses of tbe Legisla
ture, which was, on motion of Aid.
Wilder, received-ns information:
Whebeas, Brunswick possesses nat
ural advantages for the transaction of
commercial business of a high order,
unsurpassed by any harbor south of
Chesapeake Bay, and has increased
its export business from $639,000 in
1875 to $3,000,000 in 1882; and tbe
number of vessels clearing from its
Custom House Irom 192 in 1878 to
500 in 188‘J; and its shipments of
lumber from 39,000,000 feet in 1877
to 110,943,197 feet in 1882; sud its
naval stores from nothing in 1874 to
137,508 barrels in 1882; nnd,
Whebeas, A new lino of railroad,
connecting with the West and North

knowu as the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia Railroad Company,
and the Brunswick ami Albany Rail
road lias recently been sold to a party
of foreign capitalists, who propose to

llgrann system of roads; and,
Whebeas, The harbor of Brunswick
and its development is a matter of
leep concern, not only to all Geor
gians, but also to the people of the
whole country; and,
Whebeas, The vast incrense in bus
iness above recited, and the increase
in business which may safely be an
ticipated from, the extension of tbe
railroads terminating at Brunswick
as aforesaid, requires, nnd will re
quire adequate public buildings; and,
Whebeas, No appropriation has
ever been made for such a purpose at
Bruuswick by Congress, therefore,
lie it rewired by the Senate and
House of Representative* of the State of
Georyia, That onr Senators nnd Rep
resentatives in Congress be requested

ures taken ns will speedily accomplish

propriation to secure public buildings

der and axe company, respectfully

2’o the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the. City of Brunswick:
The tiuauce committee, to whom
wns referred the petition of J. F. Nel
son, Esq., asking that the special tax
on billiard and pool tables nud that
the hotel special tax upon the Nelson
House be remilted, claiming exemp
tion from said tax nuder n resolution
of former Council exempting the
building and furniture of tho Nelson
House from taxation for five years,
beg leave to report that, ns regards
the special tux on billiard and pool
tables, they find that the billiard and
pool tables of said Nelson Houso arc
not used as part of tho hotel furni
ture, but are rented, charged for, as
in other establishments, ns a separate
source of profit; and that in the opin
ion of your committee, it would be
making an iuviduous distinction and
create n monopoly to remit said tux;
and your committee therefore recom
mend that, said tax be not remitted.
Secondly—that as regards the fax
for hotel (or license for same) your
committee are of tbe opinion that the
resolution under which the petition
er prays for exemption, does not ex
empt the said Nelson Honse from the
license tax, but only relieves three-
fourths of the building and the furni
ture from taxation, and your commit
tee can see no reason why said li
cense tax should beremitted, and re
fer you to the legal opiuion of the
city attorney, and move tho adoption
of the same.
Respectfully submitted,
Jksse Wildeb,
J. J. Spears,
Committee.
The i eport was, on motion, received
and adopted.

A death-bed is of all others

There is more in one of GoTs sen
tences than yon have discovered vet.
He that is justified by God’s grace
will endeavor to justify God's provi-

A memory well stored with Scrip

Punishment is inflicte'd from love
to justice, but chastisement from love
to the offender.
Curiosity is tbe core of the forbid

When you send your prayers, be
sure to direct them to the care of the
Redeemer, nnd then they will never
miscarry. j /-
Your near neighbor and brother in
the church is visibly losing ground iu
his religious life. What ought you to
do abont it ?
Wlint tbe church wnuts is tho un
der-propping of solitary prayer, tho
strength that comes from secret com
munion with heaven-—S. P. Henson.
The criticism you made of your
brother behind his back did not do
him tbo least good. You did not ex
pect it would. Why, theu, did you
nmke it?
No uiftii, for auy considerable peri
od, can wear ono face to himself and
auotber to tbo multitude, without fi
nally getting bewildered ns to which
may be tbe true.
Give no heed to tbe critic who is
not trying to help you in tbe work of
tbe Lord. It is bis duty to do better
himself if he does not like your way
of doing things.
Life, bus no smooth roads for nny
of us, nnd in the bracing ntmospbere
of n high aim, tbe very roughness on
ly stimulates tbe climber to steadier
and stendier steps, till that legend of
tbe rough places fulfills itself at last:
Per axpera ad astra—Over steep ways
to the stars.
Tbe number of lay men who seem
actually to feel they hold something
more than a passive relation to tho
church of God is increasing. This
stir and forward movement nmong
our laymen is waking np many
preachers. It will not do to lot the
pews get ahead of tbe pulpit.
You all kuow the.golden rnle: “Do
unto others ns you would wish them
to do to you.” Here is a rule which is
nlmost a golden rale, but wbicb we
will put by itself, aud beenuse of its
value call it tbe silvpr rnle: “Think
und say nil y«n c m >.i the good quali
ties of others; forget aud keep silent
concerning their bad qualities.”
Sometime ago we saw this saying
by Dr. Deems, “Of two evils choose—
neither.” Recently wo have seen
this thought thus put by Dr. Hall:—
‘If I um between two moral eviis, I
will not bnvo either. A man is not
to lie to suvo from the necessity to
steal, nor to break tbe Sabbath lest
he should not be able to pay bis
debts. Never choose to do wrong.”
There are always enough to say, “If
tbe church would only come up to
her duty, wo should liavo success."—
And there are not a few who feel
culled upon to berate nnd scold tho
church, and think they do God ser
vice, but they err. There is no faith
in this kind of talk. Its real meaning
I is thnt because tbe church is not
only masculine voices down on the
exchange, but thero often comes from j what it ought to be, therefore we can
tbo homo circle a potential influence, {do nothing.
