Some people seem to lake it de
light in talking about ottnrs.
There are some as contentious as
(he evil spirit would Lave them.
Some people have no respect for
any one and none for themselves.
It seems that some are burn 10 be
tattler*-; some are kind and uffec
Donate while you are with then*;
they flutter you to your face, but
wlnjn your back is turned, nobody
in the world is as mean nt.d des
picable as you are. They talk
about you in eye y way possible;
they manufaciu r e false reports,
and here they go publishing them
abroad; they will tell anything to
injure your good name and blast
your reputation. Buch people,
generally fall out about nothing;
talk übout nothing und p.oplo care
nothing for what they say. They
seem to be very religious; to hear
th* in talk, they are pure and never
sin, especially in their owq estima
tion, but in nobody else's. Ai
church they put on|a long hypo
critical face, hut at homo every
thing goes wrong—then nothing is
too mean to say about their nc-gb
bnrß or any body else. No one
escapes their glanderous tongues.
Mr. E litor, I am sorry we have
such characters; but they are here
and will remain here, until the end
of time. But tl e'e is one grand con
solation, and it is tlih : it make* no
difference what they say no one be
lieves them, but those of the same
s'ripe and make, who live in i no
rance and prejudice —who have no
legard for morality, truth and vir
tue —who have no respect for char
acter. As for character they have
none, and it would he aaurprise i. r
they were to tell the truth, that i
if we are allowed to j'ldgo a Irce by
its fruits. We pity all suck cliar
ac’ers, but pity ti ey won't have,
and kind words they care nothing
about. The evil one sets the bait -
gland' r -and thousands are c-ught
—‘ Cleopatra's nsp was introdund
in a basket of flowers, ” so those
who slander us come wiih their
flattery and beguiling words, and
we drini them down until we are
poisoned and ruin'd.
A writer says :* ‘ It often hap
pens, when the devil cannot ruin a
man by getting him to commit »'
sin, he attempts to slander him ; he
sends u hawk after him, and tries to
bring hm down by slknd ring li s
good name. I will giyc yon a
piece of advice. I know a gcod
minister, now in venerable old age,
who was once mist villainously
lied against and slandered by a
man who had hated him only for
the truth’s sake. The good man
wa» grieved ; he threaten'd the
slanderer with a law suit unless he
apologized. lie did apologize. The
slander was printed in the papers
in a public apology; and yon know
wh t was the cons*quence? The
.-lander was more believed than if
he had said'nothing shout it. And
I have learned this lesson—to do
with the sland* rerous hawk whin
ti.e litfe birds do, ausr fly it.
Toe hawk cannot do them any hurt
whiie they slay ahoveliim.it is only
when they coma down that lie can
ii jure them. It is only when by
mounting he gets above the birJt,
that the hawk comes sweeping
down upon tlierai at.d desir.iy-a
them. If any slander you. do not
come down to them, let them
slander on. Fny as David Bald
concerning Hhitrei, ‘lf the Lord
hath given him commandment to
enrsp, let him curse; and if the
sons of Zeruiah >ay, ‘Let us go
and lake this dead dog's Head,’
you say, ‘Nay, let him curbs’ and
in that way you will live d -wn
slander. If some of us turn aside
to notice every Lit of a sparrow
that began chirping at us, we shou'd
have nothing to do but to answer ■

Reports to the Agricultural De
partnu-nt fioni nil parts *of the
State give discouraging ai counts of
the effect of the re*ent cold on the
crops. Cotton in some of the
counties in Central Georgia is re
ported as damaged very much
while the fruit crop all around At
lanta received a very severe blow.
The temperature hero was never
known so low at the same season
as it was on the 23rd of May when
t]ie mercury fell to 39 degrees and
a frost was clearly visible all
around the citv. Commissioner
Henderson thinks the extent of
the damage is not calculable just
yet but that it may fall seriously
on the farmers.

Some of t-e ladies of Atlanta
have organized a temperance union
which proposes to agitate the ques
tion of local option here. They
are canvassing Atlanta and Fulton
County for signature? to a petition
asking the legislature to pass
a law allowing an eleiii a r. |
in this County on the sale *f i
liquor, the election to he ordered us i
stock law elections are. It is u-ry
hard to carry a temperance cause •
in a city as large as Atlanta, and I
1 doubt i f the good women sureftd.
There car. 1.0 no doubt, howeyer,
but the sale of liquor is being more
closely restricted every year in
Georgia. There are now forty-two
counties in the State, where there
is absolute prohibition. Tlie thing
is spreading. Public sentiment is
setting strongly against whiskey.
It is not likely to become a general
political question in Georgia soon,
but it will continue to agitato com
munities, and the chances look like
prohibition will steadily gain.
Spy.
A Barefooted Groom.
About twenty years ago a young
fellow named Jolunon, in tho
wilds of the Cheat Mountains in
West Virginia, made up his mind
to bo married.
“But you have not a penny,” re
monstrated his friends.
“I have my hands. A man was
given hands —one to scratch for
himself, the other for his wife,” he
said.
On the day of the wedding,
Johnson appeared in a whole coat
and trinvsers, but hare-footed.
‘ This is hardly decent,” said the
clergyman. I will lend you a pair
of shoes.”
* No,” said Johnson, “when I can
buy shoes I will wear them—not
before.”
And he stood Up to be married
without any thought of his feet.
The same sturdy conduct show
ed itsell in his future course. What
lie had not money to pay for, he
did without. He hired himself to
a farmer for a year’s work. M ith
the money he saved he bought a
oouple of aerts of timber land and
a pnir of sheep, built himself a hut
and went to work on his ground.
His sheep ii creased As time
flew by he bought more; then he
sold 'fftl.c cheaper kinds, and in
vested in 8 mthdOwn aid Fruicli
M'ritio. ilis neighliois tried by
turns raising cattle, horses or gave
their attention to experimental
arming.
Johnson having once found that
sheep raising in his oUtriel hr ught
a handsome ) rofit, stuck to it. He
had that shrewdness in seeing the
hist way, and ’.hat dogged persist
ence in following it, which tiro the
surest elements of success.
Stock-buyers from tho E -stern
markets found that Jolm-oo’s
fleeces were the finest ar.d his
mutton the sweetest on the CLea*.
He never allowed their reputation
to fail —the end of w hich course is,
the man who married hare-footed
is now worth a large property.
The story is an absolutely true
o ie, and may point a moral for the
hordes of stout, able bodied men
who cr iwd tho cities complaining
t int they must starve for want of
work.

She undoubtedly ‘knows how itis

A woman’s safeguard is to k -ep
a man’s hands off of her. If you

Just tell him in plain English to

repeated, raising his voice with the

Still, in spite of threat and refusal
the child persisted in pleading that
his father should so home; hut
his words only seemed to strength
en the man’s obstinacy, nod nil

father to turn aside from the high

the man th lew himself full at length
on tho grass, somewhat under the
shade of tho hedge, and in a few
minu s he was sleeping heavily,
whilst the child sat down at a little
distance, wi h a strmge kind ol
unchildish patience on his features
to wait until his father should wake,
l’oor little Charley ! he knew t"0
well how tue'ess any attempt on
his part would be to rouse his
father from that sort of sleep.
Rather more than half an hour
hud passed in this dreary vailing,
and Ch u lie was I egi it.ing to find
all his small sources ol Hmusement
fait hint. He had watched a large
bee that kept hovering over tie
convolvulus blossoms in the hedge*,
and, wondered if he had not near
ly finished his day’s work ; hid
placed a siniil out ot harm’s way
and had been tempted to chase a
beautiful pniiPed butterfly that
flitted part imn ; but lie began at
a-t to 1080 biv iiiu rei t in bees and
butterflies, for it was now tea time*,
and Charlie was growing terribly
hungry. Still he did lot think <-f

Wi re coming along, nor how lie had

With the quick instinct ol child

whilst n flush of shatra spread
over his face.
‘Well, I think lie u likely to lie

“No, sir, he might he run over or
full into the river if 1 left him to
come home by himself.’
‘Oh P saiil Eustace, as he glanc
ed toward the sleeping man, and
wondered if it would bo much loss
to any one if ho did fall into the
river; hut he checked the thought,
remembering that h>, with his re
fined tastes and many kinds of
amusement, could form no iden of
the temptation which drink might
lmve for this man, with smaller ad
vantages of fortune and education ,
and then an idea Hashed across his
mind, and he determined to act
upon it.
‘Have you had your tea, boy V
he ngkel as he unstrapped his
knapsack, and took out a small
particle wrapped in paper,
‘Mother will he sure to keep it
for me until I got home, sir,” re
plied Charlie, 100 brave to com
plain to s granger.
‘That's nil right,’ said Eustace,
underaturdin* and respecting the
feeling that dictated the answer ;
‘uieanwhi e, I shall give you this
piece of cake just to pass the time
away. When I w’as ,a small boy,
stray pieces of cake in V'-r prevent

ain going to make a picture, add
when it id finished I will show it to
you.’
Vcjy few ri> inties fell to Chari e g
share in those days, and Eustace
wss highly amused at the manner
in which he ate his cake, nibbling
<t off around the edge so as to
make it lust ns long os possible;
and ho succeeded so well that the
picture was finished almost 1 at the
same time as the last currant dis
appeared.
‘W ell, was it good?' aslted Eus
tace, ns ho tied his portfolio.
‘Yea, mother does not put cur

‘And those ure not to nicer

‘Weil, lam glad you like it. I

Charlie gbthced .it the lit 4 1c

and then he gave a . orcein of sur :
prieq,
‘Why, it’s me Bnd fa'.hci?’
And so it was : aid even though
Eustase sin'ti d live to he nn old
man, l.e i ever will succeed in
making anything more 'rue to
nature than the hurried sketch
He had just cuuklil the tired,
wistful look on' the chilli’s face,

it was brought into such c ntrsst

‘Such a poor little crumb of good
though it rns,’ said Eustace to
himself, ‘sti'l I uond> r —l wonder
—and I’ll try to Hud out, too.’
And as it happened, Eustace did
bud out mere quickly than he ex
pected, for that very evening, as he
was returning from a walk, in the
course of which he had visited 1
some of his old haunts, there pass
ed him on the load n man and a
hanJtome boy about thirteen yeuts
old,
‘My little friend and his father/
suddenly thought Eustace who«c

his pace in order to keep within a
short dislanrc of the boy.
So the three went on, past tlin'

across tiie narrow bridge, till the
man and hoy reached a little out

which was gay with bright loiored,

‘That looks promising,” thought
Eustace ; no drunkard e.ver had a
garden kke that; and, determined
to ascertain the facts of the ease,
ho went up to the door with the in
tention of risking the neareit wr.y

Through the open door he
caught a glimpse of tiro neat kept
