ANNA M’INTOAH HKVIU.K. Just as the gold was turn in a: to stray, And the shadows held the moon's faint ray, I could hear your laughter, sweet and low, Just as it rippled long ago. And o’er you stole a gallant air, As you softly sai 1: “I love you, dear," And 1 heard your laughter, sweet and low, In the mellowed light of long ago. And though you are so far away, Yet the ghostly past came back to-day, While your voice! and laughter, sweet and low, Are a beautiful dream of long ago. IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL. John .1. Ingalls in Denver Evening l’ost. When Voltaire said if there were uo God it would be necessnry for nitiu to invent one he formulated, uncon* | sciously, perhaps, tbe fundamental ! truth of existence. A universe without a God is an in- \ | tellectual absurdity which reason re jects spontaneously. God is indispensible. Fate, force and blind chance do not satisfy the I mind. If all the letters in the play of i “Hamlet” were shaken in a dice box and thrown at midnight in a tempest on the desert of Sahara, they might fail exactly as they are arranged in the drama. It may be admitted that if destiny kept on casting long enough they would inevitably at some time so fall, which would render the Bard of Avon superfluous and unnecessary. But thiH does not disturb our belief in Shakespeare. Irrespective of creeds and theology, they are wise who would recognize God in the constitu tion, because faith in a Supreme Be ing, in immortality, and the compen sations of eternity conduces power fully to social order by enabling man to endure with composure the injus tice of this world in the hope of repa ration in that which is to come. Inasmuch as both force and matter are infinite and indestructible, and can he neither added to nor subtracted from, it follows that in some form we have always existed, and that we shall continue in some form to exist forever. Whence we came into this life no one knows, no one careB. Evolution, metempsychosis, reincarnation are not beliefs. They are parts of Bpeech, interesting only to the compiler of lexicons. Our appearance here is not volun tary. We are sent to this planet on some mysterious errand without be ing consulted in advance. Many of us would not have come had the op portunity to decline, with thanks, been presented. To multitudes life is an inconceiva ble insult and injury, an intolerable affront; torture and wretchedness in describable from poverty, disease, grief, fortune’s slings and arrows; wrongs deliberately inflicted by some unknown malignant power, as Job was tormented by the devil, with the consent of God, just to try him, till at last the troubled patriarch cursed the day he was born. Worst of all, we are sent here un der sentence of death. Tbe most grievous and humiliating punishment man can inflict upon the criminal is death. • Human tribunals give tbe malefac tor a chance. His crime must; be proved. He can appear by attorney and plead and take appeal. But we are ail condemned to death before hand. The accusation and the accuser are unknown, An Inexorable verdict has been pronounced and recorded In the secret council of the skies. We are neither confronted with the wit ness nor allowed a day in court, From tbe hour of birth we ore beset by invulnerable and invisible ene mies, tbe pestilence that walketb in darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday, Fatal germs, immortal bacilis, heaven-sent mi crobes inhabit the air we breathe, the food we eat, tbe water we drink, poisoning where they fly a,ad infect ing where they repose. Science continually discloses ma levolent agencies, hitherto undetect ed, which vainly try to extirpate or to build frail and feeble barriers against their depredations. Theology complacently announces that for the majority of tbe human j race this tough world is the prelude : to an eternity in hell. If any trem- ; bling sinner desires comfort and con solation in these awful miseries, let him read the sermon of Jonathan Ed wards from the text, “Their Feet Shall Slide in Due Time.” Hell would be preferable to anni hilation, it may be, but this alterna- ! tive does not satisfy those who repeat the everlasting interrogatory of Job, “If a man die, shall he live again?” Nature, like a witness in contempt, stands mute. Science'returns from its remotest excursions, shakes its I head, and, smiling, puts the question '■ by. Christ contented Himself with a ' few vague and unsatisfactory gener alities. “This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise;” “Whoso livest and believeth in me shall never die;” “In my Father’s honse are many man sions.” St. Peter, the greatest of the teachers of Christianity, could only respond by a misleading analogy. He knew the wheat reaped is not that which is sown. The harvest is a suc cession, not a resurrection. The evidences of a superintending moral purpose and design in the af fairs of men are faint and few. The wicked prosper the good suffer. The problem of sin, pain and evil are in soluble. Visiting the sins of the fath ers upon the children of the third and fourth generation, making the inno cent suffer for the offenses of the guilty, is an unjust and cruel law that ought to be repealed. Civilization lias long since rejected the principle from human jurisprudence. Even treason, the highest crime known to its code, no longer works corruption of blood or forfeiture of estate. Unless man is immortal, the moral universe, so far as he is concerned, disappears altogether. If he does not survive the grave it makes no differ ence to him whether there he God or devil, heaven or hell. And it must be not only a survival, but with n continuity of conscieuceness as well, if the evil are to be puuished and the good rewarded hereafter. To inflict the penalty of violated law upon a being who does not know that he has offended is not punishment, but re venge. Conscious identity may not be a necessary condition of intelli gence, but it is essential in morals. It is conceivable that a being may know without knowing that he knows, but he cannot sin without knowing that he sins, nor lie punished unless he knows for what wrong lie suffers. Frederick W. Robertson, the emi nent English divine, closes one of his discourses by saying; “Search through tradition, history, tbe world within you and the world without— except in Christ, there is not the Bhadow of a shade of truth that man survives the grave.” Many years ago I hoard a distin guished American orator deliver a lecture upon the evidences of immor tality outside the Bible. In the stress nnd pressure of the closing days of a short session of Congress he held the rapt and breathless attention of an immense audience, comprising all that was most cultured, brilliant and renowned in the social and official life of the capital. He dwelt with remarkable effec tiveness and power upon the fact that nowhere in nature, from tbe highest to the lowest, was an instinct, an im pulse, a desire implanted, but that ul timately were found tbe conditions and the opportunities for its fullest realization. He instanced the wild fowl that, moved by some mysterious impulse, start on their prodigious mi grations from the frozen fens of the pole and reach at last the shining south in the summer seas; the ttsh that froua tropie golfs seek their spanning ground in the cool, bright rlvew of the north; the bees that And in the garniture of fluids and forests the treasure with which they store their ce\ls, and even tbe wolf, the lion and the tiger that are provided with their prey. Turning to humanity, be alluded to tbe brevity of life; its incomplete* ness; its aimless, random and frag mentary careers; its tragedies, Us in* justice, its sorrows and separations. Then he referred to the insatiable hun ger for knowledge; the efforts of the unconquerable mind to penetrate the mysteries of the future; its capacity to comprehend Ipflnity and eternity, its desire for the companionship of the departed; its unquenchable aspi ration for immorality, and he asked, “Why should Ood keep faith with the boasts, the bee, the fish, and the fowl, and cheat man?” It Happened in a Drug Store. “One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock,” says Mr, C. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of On tario, N. Y. “She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough prep aration I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain Cough Remedy, and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial If she did not find it worth tbe money to bring back the bottle and I would re fund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of ChamberJain’s Cough Remedy. I consider that a very good recommendation Jor the remedy.” It is for sale by all Newnan druggists and W. A. Brannon, Moreland, Ga. Blind Luck of Irish Miner. St. Louis Republic. Barney Murpny, a young Irishman, is the talk of the California mining district at present, for Barney has just found a paying gold mine. It is rich and easily worked, and he hnB already taken out about $50,000, with $176,000 more comiug to him on Nov. 10, Barney lives in Los Angeles. Four mouths ago he was a carter and thought himself lucky with $45 a month and no extras. Then lie got the mining fever. With a cheap ont- ilt lie started for the hills on the Rio Colorado, sixty miles south of the southern boundary of Utah, and when he got there he began prospecting. He had been nmong miners long enough to know something of ore when he snw it, but he did not know very much about how lo look for it. He was persevering, though, and dis appointments did not discourage him. Pure luck was at the bottom of his And, however, nnd then after he made it lie came near losing it. One morn ing about three months ago Barney went out to hunt quail. He was walk ing without a thougli of gold—for he had a huge appetite for quail—when he stumbled over a rock. He looked down at the impediment and then shouted for joy. He recognized it as “live rock,” and without further thought of quail or appetite he picked it up and started for camp. There he picked at it with ills hammer and ex amined the chlpplngs under a micro scope. He was more than satisfied with the results of his examination; there wns no doubt that there was a lot of gold in that rock. So he started out Immediately to stake off his claim. But Barney in his excitement had forgotten the exact location of ids llnd. For several hours he hunted around in vaiu for it; every gulch he entered, every hill he climbed proved to be the wrong one. It was nearly night before he caught a glimpse of a rock that looked like the one he had stumbled over, and when he exam ined more cloBely lie knew that lie had found his Eldorado. It was too dark to do any work then, so Barney sat down in the midst of the rocks, lighted ills pipe nnd smoked for the wholo night. The next morning he staked his claim and began to gather up the rock, which have been yielding front $26 to $41) a ton and have made him rich. For sprains, swellings and lameness there is nothing so good as Chamber lain’s Pain Balm. Try it. For sale by all Newnan druggists and W. A. Bran non, Moreland, Ga. Hope Deferred. Uultlmora Bun. F. L. Huldekopei 1 of Washington tells an amusing story of a disappoint ed office-seeker of years ago. “Back In ’50,” says he, “when Buchanan was running for the Presi dency, he bad an intimate friend In a Western State who as also a friend of mine. This man worked early and late for Buchanan's cause, and really did as much as any one else to put his State In the Buchanau column on election day. “My friend, whom we will call Smith, bad a wife who was an lttv*’'d. He thought that he was 'entitled to tom© recognition lo? the work ho bad dQwe=r-es he was—and he applied for a consulate on the coast of the Medl- terranesn, believing that the sojourn there would Improve his wife’s health. “Months went by, and he heard nothing of his application, except that it had been received by the Presi dent. Then came the blow. He was notified that he bad. h<?en made consul at Some little town in Iceland! Smith sat down and wrote a letter, which I saw before*it left, so I can vouch for it. The letter read: “To One James Buchanan, President of These United States; “Since applying to you some months ago for a consulate on the balmy shores of the Mediterranean my wife, who was III, has gone to Heaven, and you can go to .” A Poor Worker. No man or woman can work well, mentally or physically, nor perform effective service of any kind, who is burdened with a torpid liver. Consti pation and deficient secretion of bile have clogged up the organs of tbe body so that they cannot keep up the energy to the proper standard; hence, weariness, headaches, depression, fickle appetite result. AH this can be changed with a few doses of Pbickly Ahii Bitteks. It cleanses the system thoroughly, flushes the excretory canals, drives out impurities, imparls new life to the vital organs and re establishes healthy functional activity, which brings with it energy, strength, vigor of body and brain and cheerful spirits.

A man was brought into the Judge’s court charged with a violation of the United States revenue law. He was evidently a poor, Ignorant man, who had concluded that when he was yanked up before the United States Court it was nearly equal to being condemned to be hanged witbont trial. He lmd employed the Topeka lawyer to defend him, and when his case was called and he was brought before the bar of the court the judge noticed that ho wore n long linen dus ter buttoned from the throat down. A breezo blowing in through the court-room window lifted the tail of the prisoner’s duster and the court observed tlint the prisoner’s legs were bare. “Have you no pants on?” aBked the court, somewhat sternly. “I have not, your Honor,” ans wered the prisoner, shamefacedly. “What do you mean by coming into tlie court attired that way?” “Well, your Honor, I hadn’t any money aud I had to give those pants to my attorney to apply on his fee.” To say Judge Philips was hot ex presses it mildly. Turning to the at torney he said sharply: “Either give that man/ back bia pants at once or get him another pair. If you don’t do this immediately you will never be allowed to coma Into this court again ns long as I am on the bench.” The lawyer gave up the pants. Proud Mamina—“Wasn’t George a noble little gentleman to insist upon Nellie’s helping herself to a peach be fore he took one himself?” Uncle Henry—“Oh, yes, very noble. Georgle, what made you let Nellie help herself first?” Georgle—“Because there wasn’t but two peaches, a great big one and a little bit of one. 1 knew Nellie would be too polite to take tbe big one. A Lite and Death Fight, Mr. W. A. Hines, of Manchester, la., writing of his almost miraculous escape from death, says: “Exposure after measles induced serious lung trouble, which euded in Consumption. I hHd frequent 'hemorrhages _ and coughed night and day. All my doc tors suid I must soon die. Then I be gan to use Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, which completely cured me. I would not be without it even if it cost $6 a bottle. Hundreds have used it on my recommendation and all say it never falls to oure Throat, Chest and Lung troubles.” Regular size 50c. aud |I.
