Giving nml Living.
Forever the sun is pouring its gold
On a hundred worlds that beg aud borrow;
His warmth lie squanders an summits cold,
His wealth on the homes of want and sorrow,
To withhold his largeness of precious light
Is to burry himself in eternal night.
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all,
Itsj y is the joy it freely diffuses;
Of beauty and balm it is prodigal,
And it lives in the light it freely loses.
No choice for the rose hut glory or doom,
To exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To deny
Is to die.
Tho seas lend silvery rays to the land,
The land its sapphire streams to the oooan,
Tho heart sends blood to the brain of comr
maud,
The brain to tho heart its lightning motion;
And over and over we yield our breath,
Till tho mirror is dry and images death.
To live
Is to give.
Ho Is dead whoso hand is not open wido
Te help the need of a human brother:
Ho doubles the length of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another;
And a thousand million lives are his
Who carries tho world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is to d>o.

Now, the Widow MoUoe
And Larrie 0’dee
llad two little cottages, out on tho green,
With just enough room for two pig pens be¬
tween.
Tho willow was young the widow was fair.
With the brightest of eyes and the brownest of
hair,
And it frequently chanced, when she came in
tho morn
With the swill for her pig, Larrie came with
the corn,
And some of tho cars that he tossed from his
hand
In the pen of the widow wero certain to land.
Ono morning, said he:
“Ocb! Misthress McGee,
It’s a washte of good lumber this runnin’ two
rigs.
Wid a fancy petition brtwane our two pigs?”
“Inclarle, sure it is,’ answered Widow McGee,
With the sweetest of smiles upon Larrie O’Dee,
“And thin it loots kind o’ hard hearted and
mane
Knpin' two friendly pigs so exsaidin’ly near
That wheniver ono grunts thin the other oan
hear.
And yit tape a cruel petition botwanel”
“Sliwate Widow McGee,”
Answered Larrie O’Dee.
“If ye fale in yer heart wo are mane to the
P'gs.
Ain't wo mane to ourselves to bo runnin’two
riirs?
Och! it made mo heart acho whin I paped
through the cracks
Of me shanty, lusht March, at yez sbwingin’

An’ a bobhi^’ryer head, and a sthorapin’ yer
fate,
Wid yer purty white hands jisht as red as a

A spiffin' yer kindlin’ wood out in tho sthorm,
Whin one little shtovc it would tape us both

“Now, piggy,” said she,
“Larrio’s courtin’ o’ me,
Wid his dilicato tinder allusions to you;
So now yez musht tell me jusht what I musht
do,
For if I’m to say ‘ yes,’ shiir the shwill wid

But if I‘m to say ‘no/ yez musht bapo yer
nose out.
Now, Larrie, for shama t) bo bribin’ a pig
By a-tossiu’a handful of corn in its shwig!”
“Me darlint, the piggy says ‘yes,!’ answered
he.
And that was the courtship cf Larrie O’Dee.

The, Storm in Mississippi.
A Cincinnati dispatch to the Tele
(/rap and Messenyer, dated April 14th,
says:
A special dispatch from Memphis
says the hurricane on Tuesday in Mis¬
sissippi crossed the Mississippi river at
Commerce, and proceeded easterly to
Hernando. It made a path two hun->
dred yards wide, laying waste houses,
forests, bridges and fences. A large
number of negro cabins, full of their
occupants, were blown down without
a single case of injury to the inmates.
The storm is known to have killed four
persons. Four others are missing, and
are supposed to have been killed or dis¬
abled by the tornado. Some persons
•were picked up. whirled several hun¬
dred yards through the air by it, and
then set down upon the ground unin¬
jured.

CLEVELAND, GA.,BATU1JDAYM0RNING, APRIL 30, 1881.
A Sew Departure.
An advertising agent for ono of tho
groat circus combinations has been in
Detroit for a week past and yesterday
he sac down long enough to answer a
few questions. The interview started
off a 8 follows:
“How many diamond pins will you
wear this summer, and what will be
their value?’’
“I shall not wear any. Our show has
made a new departure iu that matter
and nobody except the man in the tick¬
et-wagon will be allowed to wear dia-.
mouda. i am just going up to tho ex¬
press office to send my seven pins, four
rings aod sleeve-buttons home to my
brother.”
“How many consolidated shows do
you advertise?"
“Only thirteen, but we have exactly
sixteen. We do not Inland to do any
blowing this summer. but will practice
the modesty dodge. We have twelve
elowns, but advertise only ten. We
have ten elephants, but advertise only
eight, and so on right through.'
“Have you the only man in the world
who can turn a doable somersault over
sixteen horses?’
“No; there is another man who can do
it, and although he is in State Prison
we didn’t want to say w« bad the only
one. We shall practice no deception
and carry no humbugs.’
“Have yon tbe only baby elephant?’
“Yes, sir, but we don’t advertise it.
We don't want to be mean towards
other combinations.”
“Have you twice as much capital in
vested as any other traveling show/’
“Yea, sir, but we dpu’t say so on the
bills. The public don’t care about
the capital, but want to see tho ani¬
mals.’
“Will your street parade bo a mile
long?'
“Two of them, sir, but wo don't ad¬
vertise that fact. Wo lot people come
and be agreeably surprised.’
“Have you got an elephant which has
killed seven monf’
“Seven! Why. he’s laid out eight this
very winter! I think the list foots up
thirty-two, but we don't advertise it.
An elephant, i* an elephant, and what’s
the use of blowing about UP
“Ymu have two or three man-eating
tigers, of course?’
“Of course—sevon or eight of them,
and we also hare a list of the names of
people who have been eaten by them,
but we don’t want to blow about it.’
“Have you a boa-constrictor forfy
eight feet long?’
“We have one sixty two feet long
He's the longest and largest snake ever
imported but we give him only one line
on the bills.’
"Uavo you the sacred cow of India?’
“Yes, sir, and the sacred ox of Japan,
and a sacred calf and a sacred pig. but
we don't blow over ’em. We let the
public come in and separate the sacred
from the uusacred themselves.’
“Will you have t^wo circus rings?'
“Wo shall have four, but we don't put
it on the bills. As I told you at the
start we are making a new departure.
We shall not exaggerate. We shall not
even "toll the plain truth. No diamonds
—no trumpets—no snido challenges—
no humbug offers—no field of the cloth
of gold. We are going to sail along in
a gentle, modest way and give the peo¬
ple five times the worth of their money.
That's all—children half price aud no
lemonade sold inside tho teat.”— Ue -

A Plucky Woman.
Some days since a farmer’s wife in
Grayson county, whose name we have
not obtained, was frying meat for din¬
ner at her house, situated near a moun¬
tain range in a rather wild and seques¬
tered place, her husband in the mean
time being engaged at work some die
lance from the house. The savory
odor of the bacon was scented by a
couple of young bears that were ranging
on the premises and enticed them to
foUow the direction from which it came.
They kept the scent until it even drew
them into the house where the meat
was on fry. The lady of tho house se¬
cured the strange visitors, and her
knowledge of bears led her to think
that these young ones had strayed from
their maternal parent, which would soon
follow their trail and hunt them up.
Her judgment was correct, for it was
but a few moments before the old she
bear came in sight—an enormous black
bruin, of a kind which, as m ny of our
readers know will fight to the death for
their yonng. The woman drew down
from its rack the old true, tried and
trusty mountain rifle that had perhaps
served on similar missions to that to
which it was about to be called many
times before, and fastening the door she
made a loop hole of the window and
waited tbe approach ef her bearship
within a sufficient distance, for a shot.
She waited not long and fired, tho ball
taking effect, but not proving
The report of the rille drew her labors
ing husband from bis work, who, com¬
ing near the house, was chased several
hundred yards by tho boar, which then
gave up the pursuit and returned in
quest of her young. The plucky back
woods-ruan’s wife had the meantime
reloaded the ride, and with the second
shot tho old ebe bear keeled over, uns
deraids topmost, aud “yielded uo the
ghost.' The cubs, we are told, sold at
Independence, the county seat of Gray
son, for $20, and the skin of tbe bear,
which was very largo, brought the sum
of $8 at the same time.
Xew Things in Georgia.
N .w Orleans Time*.
Georgia is by far tho newost State in
the whole South—with tho possible ex¬
ception ef Teia*. There Is an essen¬
tial difference, however, betweeu the
newnoss of Texas and tho dowubss of
Georgia, viz: tho newness of Texas is
tho first crop on a wild soil, tho newness
of Georgia is tho more abundant and
reliable crop on a domesticated and
cultivated soil. Texas iB a groat pro¬
ducing State; Georgia is rapidly becom¬
ing a groat manufacturing Stato. Im¬
mense smoke-stacks loem in grimy ma¬
jesty at several points iu Georgia
where, erstwhile, the rural wagon-mak^
er, leisurely shaving the oak spoke
wherewith to mend the wheal of tbe
weather cracked ox-cart, was the ouly
manufacturer—“lost in the solitude of
his own originality.” The immense
manufacturing establishments at Atlan¬
ta, Augusta, aud at one or two orther
points are nothing less than sermons
fulminated by great Thor himself—com¬
mandments unto men to explore, to
delve, to labor and to. build. Or, to
cams to'apractTcaf couetusion, the Suc¬
cess of the manufacturing establishments
of Georgia is a new declaration of in¬
dependence, not signifying revolt out
yet presaging revolution,
Five things are essential to perma¬
nently successful manufactories, to wit:
1. A markot for the goods manufac
tured.
2. Capital to establish manufactories.
3. The cheapest posible avenues from
the factory to the retail store where the
manufactured goods are sold.
4. Tho cheapest possible avonuea
from what in .y termed tbe birth-place
of the raw material to the place of its
manufacture.
5. And most difficult of alb the con¬
viction present In the mind of the cap
italist that numbers I, 3, and 4 of these
essentials cortainly may bo found at any
given point.
Atlanta f-ud Augusta have managed
to bridge the chasm botweea tho full
condition and tho proceeding four. The
coneoquence is a development which as¬
tonishes all who visit those places—not
so much by reason of the resu'ts already
accomplished as by the results yet to
come, the approach of which can hard¬
ly escape the attention of the most care¬
less observer. Georgia lias now a secure
future as a manufacturing State. It
does not follow that every town in the
South should at once erect great tuanus
factoring establishments; but it does
follow that a great many other towns
might erect such establishments and
operate them profitably—towns which
have now nothing of the kind .and are
filled with an infinite host of loiterers
east in the mould of Colonel Sellers,
Atlanta and Agusta wisely discarded
the Sobers theory and the consequence
must provoke the sincere admiration
and hearty emulation of all their neigh¬
bors in the Gulf States. Georgia is not
afraid of new things because they are
new rmr in love with old things because
they are old. Therefore Georgia pros¬
pers exceedingly.
There aro in England and Wales
4188 Congregational churches, with
2,723 pastors and evangelists. Some 500
ministers in Eagiand are without pas¬
toral work. There were only seventy
five ordinations in 1880. Eeighteeu
ministers left the denomination, aud
the same uumbor were received from
other churches, fourteen of whom came
from the Methodists.
Nothing is gained, the Christian Ad¬
vocate declares, by making admissioa
into the church too easy. To invite
persons to rise, ana to report them con¬
verted, adds nothing to the strength of
a church, and raises no presumption
that souls are being saved. To fill the
records with names of children, unless
religious iuipresaious are made,
does no good and much barm.

INTEMPERANCE.
BY BKY. .). TV I.Ell.
Ilov. J. T. Tyler, Correspondent of
tho New York Observer, writing from
Zulu, says:
Intemperance prevails to a fearful
extent in this little colony, with an
European population of 24,000, of Zulu
Kaffirs 400,000, and Coolies from India 1
20.000 It is owing to the license e
lein in vogue, winch enables the whites
and Indiana to buy freely all tho prog
they want. 1 he native Zulus are pro
Indited by a colonial law from purchaa
mg ardent spirits but the law is evaded,
and the ruin fiend now has his haunts
among the unsophisticated heathen, far
away y.l from the European towns aud
ages i fear it will be a long time
before the colony will recever from the
demoralizing offsets of the late “Zulu
war,” i he English troops, then scat¬
tered about Natal, would have their
drams, even if they bad to resort to
violence in obtaining them. Most dift
gusting ... are ,, tho details , , published bv
"smashing in the windows of a hotel,
because they were refused drink, and
stealing tho mess stores, with tho ivinos
and liquors of Sir Garnet Wolsey’s per
sonal staff.” Tho soldiers have gone,
it is true, but the curse of drunkenness
remains, and if not chocked, will ruin
the country. The heathen vices, with
which we missionaries have to contend,
are numerous and formidable enough,
without the importation of intemper¬
ance in ita worst forms. The unwilling¬
ness of the Colouial Government-to put
a stop to tho nefarious traffic can bo
accounted for only on the ground that
the revenuo it receives as duty on ar¬
dent spirits is iuimonso. On rum alone
last year, it received noarly £13,001).
It is a comfort to turn away from this
picture of a civilized and professed!)
Christian Government, so ioth to sup¬
press this giauc evil among its untu¬
tored subjects, to that of a Christian
African Chief far towards the interior
of this dark comment. I refer to K.ha¬
ute at Shongshong, who has proved an
efficient helper to Dr. Hopburn in his
labors for tha good of tha Bamangwato.
I will let tbe missionary himself teh tho
story, and I think you will agreo with
me that it would be a good thing if tho
same course were pursued by those who
are in authority iu Christian lands:
Kbaine will have no drink sold in bis
town. Ho had seen the ovila of that, and |
he wished to rule over a “nice town/’ as
he said. He called the white men to¬
gether and told them his desire. They
pleaded to be allowed to bring in the
cases, for it was medicine, and the
large casks they promised consented^ to leave un
vouched. Khame but he
must see no drunkenness. Tho cases
came aud drunkenness was the result
Khame called tha white men together
again, and declared his determination
to bavo no drink brought into his town.
“But you will allow us to bring in a
case for private use at our table?’
"Bring none, v said Khame* “1 will allow
none. You made me a promise that if
I allowed the eases only, there should
he no drunkenness.” One man ventur¬
ed to press his views, and got effectually
put down. He was an old hotel keeper,
and he liked the trade. “What,” said
Kbnme, “will you venture tospeikf
You made me sueh and such a prom
tcise, and then brought a huge cask to
the river; so I refuse even the cases,
aud there’s an end of it.” That was
enough for that day. Khame tried
fines and threats, and finally, tho Be
ebuana chiefs’ last resort, hanishrount
from the country. It appears a summa
ry process, but it is really less hurtful
to the European than our mode of con¬
fiscation, fine, and imprisonment for
smuggling the drink through the coun¬
try without a license. After reminding
the traders of their disregard alike ol j
he warnings and of the iuwa of his
couutry, which conduct on their part,
to he attribuied, his nationality and perhaps aud color, not unjustly, Khame j
continued. “Well, I am black; but if I
am black, I am chief.of. my country at
present. When you white men rule in
the country, you will do as you like; at
present I rule, and 1 shall maintain my
laws, which you insuit and despise.
You bavo insulted and despised me be
causo 1 avi a black man, in my own
town; you do so because you despise
black men in your hearts. If you des¬
pise us. what do you want here in the

Whipped by a Snake.
A terrific runaway of a horse attached
to a spring wagon and drivon by a man
named James Coons occurred on the
turnpike, near Mine Hill Gap yesterday.
Tho horse, generally a well disposed ani¬
mal, was jogging along quietly when ono
of his fore foot grazed a black snake
which was crossing the road. Tho
snake at once reared its head and sank
its fangs into the horse’s leg abovo tho
knee at the same time coiling itself
around the limb The horse snorted
with ten or and dashed off at a terrific
pace. Tbe driver was almost thrown
from his ssat, but managed to retain it
and held a firm grip oa the reins. The
road was rough and tha wagon was
thrown first to one side and then to tho
other of the road,as the maddened
horse tried to shake off the snake in
its wild race. The snake clung to bis
hold, but the race was brought to asud
den determination by a sharp curve iu
the road. Tbe driver was unable to
make the turn and horse and wagon
dashed into a brush fence. The driver
was thrown over the fence, but fortun¬
ately alighted in safety on his feet.
The horse made desperate efforts to
extricate itself and showed such ex¬
treme terror that Coons coucluded that
something uncommon must have caused
his fright and subsequent runaway.
Catching the horse by tho bridle he
endeavored to calm the animal. While
engaged in the task he noticed tho
snake which was still coiled around the
animal’s leg. Suddenly catching the
reptile by tbe tail be pulled with all his
strength. The tip of the tail came off
in his grasp and the snake at once un¬
coiled and felt to tha ground. The
horse was dually extricated from the
unpleasant position and securely tied
until ho had become somewhat quiet
The snake was killed, it measured
four feet six inches in length.
The President is said to he firm in
the position ho has taken with reference
to tho Mormon peculiar institution, and
wid eeo that it is ‘stamped out ' Tbo
anti-polygamy Rentiment is growing
very rapidly. Paly gamy must go. and
the Mormons had better get an anti
polygamy ‘revelation' ready for use.—
