OUR OWN SECTION—WE LABOR FOP. 1T5 ADVAI‘JK‘KMX‘IN'L GA., SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24. 1880. GETTING MARRIED. When is the Best Time of day l or It. A very interesting discussion has been raised in England regarding the hour at which sensible persons ought to be married. It is urged that, accor ding to the English custom, marriages are distinctly at the wrong hour, and there is very much to be said in favor of a reform. No doubt special licenses can be obtained by those who care to pay for them, and, in reality, marriages can be performed at any hour of the day or in any drawing room selected n But, as a rule, people have a very pro per prejudice in favor of going to church as their fathers and mothors did before them, and this samo church going leads to the morning marriage that is so much objected to, On two grounds tho English method is unsatis factory. His unbecoming and incon¬ venient- Tho most beautiful complex¬ ion will scarcely stand against the con¬ trast of white sattin and orange blos¬ soms in broad daylight, and it is a notorious fact that brides are not always young and pretty In the summer time the geniel warmth of the season partly removes the difficulty, but in winter complexions yellow and noses reddoned in an uncomfortablo manner. The bridesmaids are as unanxious as the bride to be trotted out for inspec tion in this garish manner. If a man wants to know when ho really looks ill let him consult iu a chill morning of December a looking-glass that lias its back to the light- The spectacle is hideous. If a woman desires to know wiren eho is most unbecoming, it is at a wedding breakfast in a London bouse on a foggy morning of December. Then again it is inconvenient. Tiro church is over: the breakfast is short and spas modic. Every one foals in the way un¬ til the dearbeiovod couple have depart¬ ed amidst their slippers and rice, and it is all the more wearisome than ever. The poulterer's boy, taking round the trussed fowls next door, has had bis peep: the nursemaids and loafers have chambered into some convenient posi¬ tion; rbere has been a faint chrer below and a few giggios from the balcony and then all is over. A clever young lady once pertinently asked: “What does the bridegroom say when the carriage drives away and alt this tomfoolery is at an end?’ There wore various an¬ swers, ranging from ‘My adored one and heart’s idol !’ to the practiele and unpoeiical ‘Give us a kiss, old girl,’ and to the expression of natural relief in a long drawn sigh. It does not very much matter what is said, but how much hotter would be tho solemnization of matrimony at night. English ladies with comploxiom aud gentlemen with uncertain hair should think of it. A warm church gaily lighted, the peal of the distant organ, tho surpliced choir, the candelabra, the decorations, the flowers and the gas ! And afterwards ! The warm and consoling dinner, the glitter of diamonds at candle-light, the 8peeebes after a really excellent meal— turtle soup, oysters, and joint—instead of a miserable, cold, indigestible side¬ board luncheon, and afterwards the delight of getting rid of the young people—the joy of packing them out into the cold, there to enjoy the warmth of their naturel affection, the pictur¬ esque ceremony of the rice aud slippers after dark, the carriage lamps lighted, aDd off they go, whilst the invited guests repair to the ball room and have a regular good dance aud jollification. That is tho way to enjoy a wedding, and the sooner it is tried the better for every ODe concerned in the administra¬ tion of these cold English marriage feasts —Philadelphia Times. An Irishman was accused of stealing a handkerchief of a fellow traveler, but the owner ou finding it apologised to Pat, ana said it was a mistake. ‘Arrab, my jewel,’ retorted Pat, ‘it was a two sided mistake—vou took me for a thafe,; and I took you Hr a gintleman.’ PUT LIFE INTO YOUR WORK. j A young man's interest and duty 1 both dictate that ho should make him¬ self indispensable to his employers. He should be so industrious, prompt land careful that the accident of his temporary absence should bo noticed Uy his being missed. A young man should make his employer his .■ friend* ; b >' doil, S faithfully and minutely all that is entrusted to him. it is a great mistake to be over nice or fastidious about work. Pitch iu readily and you j will be appreciated, while the ‘high | i toned’young man who quibbles about what it Is and , what , , it ., is . not his place , i , to do, will get the cold shoulder. There j is a story that George Washington once j helped to roll a log that one of his cor- j porals would not handle, and tho great¬ est Emperor of Russia worked as a ghipwright in k ngiand—to learn the business. That's just what you should want to do. Bo energetic, look and act with alacrity, take an interest in your employer's success, work as though the business was your own and 1 lot your employer know that ho may place reliance in your word and on your . act. Be mindful; have your mind on your business; because it is that which is going,to help you, not those outside attractions which some of tho ‘boys' ate thinking about. Take a pleasure in work; do not go about in a listless, formal manner, but with alacrity and cheerfulness, and remember that while working thus for others, you are laying the foundation of your own success in lift. A Hint to Uraiii Drinkers. Barkeepers pay, ou an average, $2 per gallon for whiskev. One gallon contains an average of -fifty-ft- dri-oks,^ j • and at ion cents a dunk tbo poor uian pays $050 per gallon for his whiskey; iu other words ho pavs $2 for the whiskey 84.50 to a man for handing it over the bar. While it would lie better for him not to drink, some men will have wliiss key, and my advice to them is, this— .Make your wifo your barkeeper. Lend her two dollars to buy a gallon of whis¬ key for a beginning, and every lime you want a drink go to her and pay ten cents for it- By the time you have drank a gallon she will have $0 50, or enough money to refund the $2 borrow¬ ed of you, to pay for another gallon of liquor and have a balance of 82 CO. | Sho vvill be able to conduct future op erations on her own capital, and when j you become au inebriate, unable to sup port yourself, shunned ano despised by ! respectable people, your wife wid have enough money to keep you until you get ready to tfil a drunkard's grave. But had you paid would all this money to a barkeeper, bo not have given a | cent to bury you or a crust of bread to | keep your children from starving. people ever stop to calculate the cost of dram drinking. At ten cents per drink one drink per day will cost $36.50 per year ; two drinks per day will cost $70; three drinks, $109.50, and four drinks, $140 per year. A man came to mo the other Gay to pay tho interest on a note of S100 I hold against him. Said he: 1 j only receive $600 a year, and with a I family to support lam not able to pay my debts.’ I asked him to take a pen- ! cii to make asked a slight him calculation how often he for drank me, j and then at a bar. His average was threo drinks per day, which, by his own calculation wasS100 50, or enough to have paid both principal and interest ou tho note and have $1.50 left. He was astonish¬ ed at the discovery, and is now determ¬ ined never to drink at a bar again. Campbills lecture at Mayfield, Ky. A preeions yov a, prompted by an unpleasant recollection of the last term, says that school-teachers are like dogs, because ‘they lick your baud.' This carries off the palm. ‘I wish you would pay a littfe more attention to what I am saying, sir,’ roared a lawyer to an exasperating witness. ‘I am paying as little atten¬ tion as I can,’ was the calm repty Do not allow yourself to use personal abuse when speaking to another, as in so doing you may make that person a life long enemy A few, kind, courteous words might have made him a life long friend An ounce of keep your mouth shut is better than a pound of explanations af ter you have said it, Can't Ilford to Hurry Girls, do you hear this ! Many toad men aroeiyin;:, “Can't afford to marry!' Why ? 'Expense <>( supi oiling s wife!’ Why support a wife? Might not wives be made self-supporting, or partly so? Isn’t more something wrong in this system which makes matrimony depen¬ dent. upon a man's ability to pay all the wife’s expense? Is it not tilling the land wi ll old maids?

Wad Icy and Imlgration. ‘Wo agree fully with Mr. Wadley in this matter. Our State is already too thickly peopled with those who want help without working for it. As wo have taken occasion to say heretofore, we knew of no greater fallacy than tho importance which some newspapers and individuals are Lying to impart to this idea of migration. Where iabor is scaico ami wages high it benefits the wsgej paying class f‘““» to u ' induce ,uulu '° an ““ influx ,UI,ui of impecunious laborers, blit that does uot benefit the resident laboring class, for them it means lower wages. But this is not in Georgia's condition. W T e have an abundance of labor and it is as cheap as it should be asked The idea that imigrants will como aud buy land and cultivate it need not be entertained. Mr. Wadley is right —Qolumbus Times.

The telegrams report tho severest storm there ever known. The gale attained in a short time, to a velocity of eighty miles an hour, A large number of houses were blown Gown, including Bremen Hall, and the new Catholic Church, The damage to property in tbo city will amount to about sixty-five thousand dollars. The storm in the country was also very severe. The telegraph lines be¬ tween Portland and Dallas are so bur¬ ied under fallen timber that they will have to’-be entirely rebuilt. A great number of cattle wore killed by falling barns and trees. It is impossible to estimate tho value of the property de¬ but it will certainly be very great.

A ROMANTIC STORY. In the middle of tbe winter of 1834 a lire broke out in the female seminary at Limoges, France, and spread with such rapidity that it was feared all the inmates would p. rush Suddenly there came a cry that one little girl had been loft in her room. As tbe excited spec¬ tators were beginning to pray for the unfortunate child, a tall girl, with dis¬ heveled, blonde hair, and flowing night¬ gown, ran through tho crowd with a shriek, ‘I’ll save her !’ that rose above the sound of cracking timbers and the falling masonry, dashed into tho door - way. A loud hurrah, that was pro longed to the echo only to bo repeated again, attracted tho attention ->f th. devotees, and tbo pale faced girl was seen hurrying through tbo flames with the terrified child. A few days thereaf¬ ter King Louis Philippe sent the hero¬ ine a gold medal for her bravery, and a captain in the French army, who had witnessed the girl's pluck, begged an introduction. Tho captain was after¬ wards President of France and tho brave girl Madame MacMahon Business on The Brain. One night last week the wife of jus¬ tice Moses was aroused from a sound sleep by a stern voice; ‘Are you ready for trial, I say? ‘Hush! Don't make a noi-e, or else you’ll wake the baby,' she replied, ens deavoring to sooth him. ‘Don’t talk back to this court,’ ho vociferated. ‘If yuve got. any witnesses bring'em on, but let your lawyer do tbo talking.’ ‘Why, Tom, how you take on; What is the matter?’ ‘1 send yru up for sixty days - that’s what's the matter. Here Eaders, take her away. Now, I'm ready far that larceny case.
