A Backslider Recovered Through
Grace.
I’V REV. K. L. STEPHENS.
Tf Heaven and earth were both combined,
They eiuld no other ransom find,
For guilty, wretched, lost mankind,
But Jesus.
Ah', who my misery could tell?
Or who my torments could expel?
Or save from sinking into hell?
But Jesus.
T saw myself in ruin long.
Who condescended thus to say :
Come back, come back, this is the way ?
’Twas Jesus.
Who hade me to return again,
And seek so that I might obtain
That crown which ever will rematn ?
’Twas Jesus.
Who saw me sink beneath my grief,
Aud quickly sprang to my relief,
And saved me only by belief?
’Twas Jesus.
Who said: “Thy sin’s forgiven thee;”
Take up thy cross and follow mo,
Aud I’ll thy God aud Saviour be ?
’Twas Jesus.
Who could this load of guilt remove,
And fix my heart on things above,
And fill my soul with heavenly love?
But Josus.
Not all the men on oarth below,
Nor angels could such mercy show,
Or any save mo from my woe'K
Jut Jesus.
’Twas thou who died upon tne tree,
To save backsliders such as me,
Thou’st healed my wounds aud set me free.
Sweet Jesus.
Although I wandered far from God,
And trampled under foot thy blood,
Thou dost delight to do me good—
Dear Jesus.
I can t, sufficient tribute bring
To Thee, my glorious God and King,
But now 1 will thy praises sing,
Sweet Jesus.
Ho ! help me while I’m here below,
In all my works obedience show
Eor enery grace thou dost bestow,
Dear Jesus.
Anil when this mortal life shall end,
May I in Christ behold my friend;
My everlasting days to spend
With Jesus.
Then I shall over, ever he,
Both praising and adoring Thee,
Throughout a vast eternity,
Sweet Jesus.

CHILDHOOD IS PAST,
AND
WE ARE STARTING
ON THE
Voyage Of Life.
This is a sad thought in many re¬
spects. Who can think of the happy
days of childhood, and know that they
can never return, but must be changed
for the duties and responsibilities of
manhood, without sigbiug for the hap¬
py days of your- So is life.
Many are like myself, just taking
manhood and citizenship upon them¬
selves, leaving old friends and associ¬
ates, childhood sceneries, the parental
roof, and going forth to battle with the
storms of life. We are filled with fears
and doubts, when we look out on this
great ocean, and see so many once no¬
ble vessels, that started with high hopes
and prospects bright to reach some
safe landing, that have sprung leaks
and are loft mere wrecks: but when we
see other vessels, riding on the billows
laughing at adversity and defying fate,
we are encouraged to make the start.
There are several things that are
essentials for this voyage. We, as
young men ought to find to what port
we ought to steer, in what kiud of a craft
we ought to embark, wnat kind of a
cargo wo ought to put on board, what
things it would be necessary to take
with us and what to leave asboro. Now
let me say to yon, young men, first find
out in what direction you have the
most talents aud then improve them iu
that direction. In other words, get in¬
to your element. First, launch your
ship where she belongs. Find out
what you are best fitted tor in life, aud
follow it to perfection.
It is not sufficient, simply to launch
your vessel iu the proper channel; but
she must be taken care of afterwards.
We embark on this voyage in the ves¬
sel of our human bodies. ' See'tbat that
vessel is well taken care of; see that
“she is sound in every timber, and solid
in every spar.” In other woids, take
goori care of your health. Mens sana
in sanocorpore, was the grand maxim of
the ancient Romans, and the importance
of this maxim has never since beou
doubted. Learn what to eat and what
to drink, aud having learned this, you
must learn what not to eat, aud espe¬
cially, what not to drink. Shun alcos
holic stimulants in every form as you
would tbo evil orio himself. Let me
inge it upon you to leave intoxicating
liquors ashore when you start on tins voy
age tor it will muddle the captain's brain
and raise mutiny among the crew. It
will throw chart and compass overboard,
and leave a wrecked vessel, to the mer¬
cies of the tide.
We must judge of a thing by its ten¬
dencies, and every one knows the ten¬
dency of strong drink is to make drunk
aids; so 1 say to you leave strong drink
ashore.
Now let mo tell you young men of a
few things you must carry witn you if
you would make a success of life Put
iu plenty of enterprise, “such as go
abesd-ativeness and stick'-to-it iveness.’
We have been told that rhe best known
firm iu the world was “Push & Pull.”
Remember, “luck is a idol and pluck is
a hero.” Perseverance will conquer.
Patience will endure, and principle will
stick, and carry all of these on board,
and don’t forget to put in just as much
as you can get of good old fashioned
common sense. Whaleverelso you ad mu,
take on '.bis momentous voyage, your
chart and compass. The chart is as old
as the bible, and the compass as the
voice of the human conscience, which
God has given us. Don't forget to cor¬
rect yiur compassby something higher
aud more stable than this world.
Yeung men, let not your vessel lie
idly by during every calm, and bo driv¬
es far out of its proper course by the
gulf stream. You must learn to devel¬
op the powers within you, and propel
your ship through stprrns and waves.
Eternal vigilence is the price of liberty,
and great success in any sphere of life
is bought with the same coin. Never
mind the winds and storms, of which
perhaps, you lad but little dreamed;
be not discouraged; but press nobly
and fearlessly on, trusting in the great
Captain of the universe, who bold the
storms and wiuds in the hallow of his
hand, and if you tye faithful. He will
bring you safely to that port on the
other side of Jordan, “which i# tbo
ultima thule of every successful mariner.'
A. Voyager.
Lomonville Ga
There are some men so talkative that
nothing but the toothache can make cue
of them bold bis jaw.
THE TWO DEACONS.
Between eighty and ninety years ago
there lived in the Connecticut river val¬
ley two farmers, one of whom was
named Hunt and the other Clark. The
former, iu early life, had been a man of
strong will and somewhat hasty and
violent temper. Sometimes he had
been seen beating his oxen over their
heads with the handle of his whip iu a
manner to excite tbo pity ot the by¬
standers, and when expostulated with
ho excused himself by saying that he
had the most fractious team iu town.
By and by an alteration took place in
the temper of Farmer Hunt, He be¬
came mild, forbearing, and, what was
most remark-bio, his oxen seemed to
improve in disposition at an equal pace
with himself.
Farmer Hunt joined the church and
was an exemplary man. His neighbors
saw the change both in himself and his
team. It was a marvel to the whole
town. One of his townsmen asked for
au explanation. Farmer Hunt said,
“I have found out a seer t about my
cattle. Formerly they were unmanag
able’ The more I whipped aud club¬
bed them the worse they acted. But
uow wbeu they are unmanageable I go
behind my load and sing ‘Old Hundred,'
and, strange as it may appear, no soon¬
er have 1 ended than the oxen go along
as quietly as I could wish. I don't
know how it is, but they really seem to
like singiug.'
Iu the courso of a few years the two
farmers were chosen deacons of the
church, aud they both adorned their
profession. About the time of their
election a grievous famine prevailed iu
the valley, and the farmers generally
were laying up their corn to plant the
onsuing season. A poor man living in
town went to Deacon Hunt and said:
•I have como to buy a bushel of corn.
Hero is the money, it is about alt I can
gather.’ The deacon told him he
could uot spare a bushel for love or
money, He was keeping double his
usual quantity for seed-corn the next
year, and he had to stint his own family.
The man urged his suit iu vaiu. At
last he said, ‘Deacon, if you don’t lot
me have the com, I shall curse, you.’
■Curse me!' replied the deacon, ‘how
dare you do so f'
‘Because,’ said tho man, ‘the Biblo
says so,’
•Nonsense !' exclaimed Deacon Hunt,
‘there is no such thing in the Bible.’
‘Yes, there is!’ replied the poor man.
•Well,'said the deacon,‘if you can
find any such text I’ll give you a bushel
of corn.’
They went into the house, when the
poor man went to the old family Bible;
turning to Proverbs xi. 2d. he read;
‘He that withhuldeth corn, tho poople
shall curse him; but blessings shall be
upon the bead of him that selleth it.’
The deacon was fairly caught. ’Come
along ’ said he, ‘and I will be as good
as my woid. He touk him to the corn
house, measured out a full bushel of
coru, aud helped the man to put it into
his bag, assisted him to put it on his
shoulder, aud, just before his departure,
being somewhat of a wag, he said, with
a twinkle iu his eye:
“Isay, neighbor, after you have car¬
ried this corn home, go up to Deacou
Clark and curse him out of another
bushel.
CAMPAIGN NOTES.
Poor Alston Again, — Columbus
Times: Tho case for which Alston got
his foe, of which you have heard so
much lately, was being prosecuted
during Mr. Norwood's term as Senator.
Now, will it be proper to inquire why
that model statesman did not rush to
the aid of his State, and get the money
due from (he United States government,
and save to Georgia the fee paid to
Alston and others. Did Air. Norwood
ever do a thing to secure that $190,000
to his State? If he did, why not lotus
kuow if? We would ask Judge Warner
what ‘Tom' was doing all his six years
in tho Senate for Georgia—except se¬
curing that extra $5,000 of back pay
for himself? Where was ‘Tom?’
“Oh, Tam, ob Tam, you’ll get your
lear’n/’

the poetry.
A Good Move— Columbus Times:
The managers ot the election to be held
in this county on the 6th of October at
the Nance precinct, have given notice
that the sale of intoxicating liquors will
not be allowed within two miles of that
place on the day of the election. That
is right. The occasion will be exciting
enough itself without adding the fire of
alcoholic diinks to the heated blnod of
voters aud canvassers. Neither will
the managers permit the buying aud
selliug of votes! That's right!

Alike — i he twin daughters of John
Ramsey, < f Lexington, Ivy, are so accu¬
rately alike as to puzzle even their pa¬
rents in determining their identity.
Not only are their features exactly alike
hut they are the same size, same height,
same figure, same weight to within half
a pound.
They are now in their I lili year, have
never been sick, nor separated for any
length of time, are in the same classes,
study from ono book, are both remark¬
ably sprightlv, quite handsome, aud
each devoted to the other.
The most remarkable feature in the
case is the fact they have Devor had
the slightest variation in weight from
birth to the present lime. They are
named Mary and Martha.

A Western man having lost liis wife,
a sympathizing friend remarked upon
his woe-begone appearauce.
“Well, I guess you would look thin,
too,' was tho melancholy rejoinder, ‘if
you had to get up before daylight,
make the fires, draw watot, split wood,
and feed tho cattle boforo breakfast.
I tell you what it is, it I don’t get some
one to fill poor, dear, sainted Maria's
