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.

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. OUR OWN SECTIOX~WmOR FOR ITS -xm'ANcmm-zmx 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 - trait Free Press. 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. Blank notes fot sale at Uni office. “fl LIFER YEAR. 3 "ew w raw. >. nams South Africa. 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.

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.— Courier ,]<mmal StOQ PRE3EI4T1 t’oi ■.
