chamber. By a disposition of
God’s, providence the angel of
death has entered our community,
and taken from ; our hearts and
from onr midstgour much-beloved
friend and . sister, Mrs. J. W.
Hodge. As theretis no dispensa
tion of Providence so gloomy as
the one which envelopes life in
death, and hides our loved ones
forever from onr view in its pavil
ion, so is the everlasting arm of
our Heavenly Bather ^beneath us,
with an expression of more ten
derness thanfat any other tperiod
of our earthly pilgrimage; more
especially are we convinced of this
truth inj]this dispensation,ffor as
much as he takes her . who was
universally lovea, We know that
He came not in wrath* but in mer
cy, binding earth and gHeaven to
gether with?|the?i : bonds of love,
both human andFdivine, and ce
menting; them] together with the
tears of loved|ones and the, kisses
of angels, .as they meet over there
a departing spirit coming up from
the deep, dark waters of its last
baptism, bidding adieu . to loved
ones of earth, shouting welcome to
heaven in th'e dialect of glory. Our
friend is not dead,, but sleepeth;
nor has she gone]with the domin
ion of death, but simply through
its shadows, which .obscure her
from our vision. She is just as
real now as when among ue, ahd
while our souls drooped in sorrow
over her departure, as we witness
ed the lamp of life flickering to its
last, it was to her,|thoiigh* a new
change. The highest that ever
came to her experience. Eartb,
with its maiiifold duties, trials and
perplexities, mingled with the
beauty of nature and the sacred
ness of home render, from con
scious view,?®' Heaven, with its
splendors and ever-mingled glo
ries forevermore broke upon her
rapturous vision. <
From childhood, Miss Maggie,
as we familiarly called her, pos
sessed; an amiable Spirit, which en
abled jier to'win all hearts, and
carry in heriaffectionsall that ever
came within her knowledge. Those
little petulancies] that characterize
most people in earlyjlife, and be
come a habit.in:maturity, were not
in her heart and b'fe. Confiding,
generous, noble, .intellectual, pleas
ant in word, no .matter the charac
ter, faithful to her vows, unswerv
ing in fidelity to . parents and
friends, she cultivated-that angelic
Spirit which so powerfully impress
ed. itself Upon her countenance
that a smile of recognition and
welcome constantly played there,
even in death, and rested .like a
halo of glory upon her brow, as
but the kisses and smiles of the
recognition of her own blissfol
eternity. As |qher duties at honle,
she was a noble wife and a de
voted mother. Self-possessed amid
the perplexities of fife, she always
to friends, relatives, husband , and
phildren, bore a sweet < Sifiiie of
resignation to her environments,
and bowed in submission to the
providences of her God; gently
removing the anxiety from her
husband’s brow by the hand of
loving sympathy, and soothing his
hearty bruised by fife’s disappoint
ments, with the caressing tendrils
of undying devofion. A Christian
of the truest type, endowed with
religious propensities, and reared
by a Christian family, she devel
oped a character of the noblest
who will leadjhiin eventually to the
Heavenly recognition of his dar

motherless little ones to a loving

Atlanta Constitution.
Occasion allyiwe receive letters
from our young readers asking in
formation concerning a number of
catch penny books now being ad
vertised throughout the coun
try. p i
It is to be feared that these
books mislead a great mpny peo
ple, and do them ]harhi. They
are hardly worth the paper they
are printed on, and are generally
written by hack-writers who have
only a superficial knowledge of
their topics. There are books
professing to'teach the]whole sci
ence of farming—books Ithat will
make any m&h]a machinist, an art
ist, a lawyer or an orator.' And
last, but not least, there are five
or six recent hand books almost
almopt warranted to make success
ful jonrnalists]and literary men
out of tljieir. readers.
It ratenatural that a young man
should desire to rush along the
road to success with as little de
lay as possible, bat? he may take
it for granted that no little fifty
cent guide, or manual, or hand
book will ever do the business for
him. Ho one ]book^|will make a
mao successful in any occupation.
A man'must have ^natural ability
and industry in order to make his
way. As he goes along he will
get hints frpm books, but he will
never leap to .the top offa profes
sion for which he is unsuited sim
ply because he read such works as
a “A Guide to Authorship,” and
“Every-Man His- Own Lawyer.”
It may Be really doubted] whether
any really ^eminent literary man
or lawyer ever opened the covers
of these books. Natural ability
and persistent work enabled them
to win their way.
There is no short a§d, easy cut—
no. royal road to success. If one
of onr young correspondents is
cut out for a farmer, let him go to
work on a farm. If he wants to
master, a trade, let him go and
learn it in ^practical way. If he
irants to be a lawyer, and is
eqniped with a fair education, he
should enter a law office. If fie
is drawn toward literature journal
ism, he should read, observe,
think, and then write. When a
man makes the right choice of a
business] trade,,on profession the
thing for him, to, do is to go to
wort He is doomed to^ certain
disappointment if fie thinks that
the,study pf “Every Man His Own
Wfiat Yon Call It” will land him
at once on the top round . of the
ladder. - .
A man must work .for success,
and he will not achieve it even
then .if fie selects an occupation

the unique proposition that Mas
sachusetts invite ex-President Da
vis to be £he guest of the common
wealth.: He supports his proposi
tion with this argument:
Have patience while I whisper a
word.AYliat did you fight fpr from
’61 to’65? Union! Just eo. Of
force or free will? Answer. If
force,. dissolve eyery-sou therp state
government: expel every southern
senator and representative from
congress, and picket every south
ern highway with soldiers! Ab
surd? Certainly it is. And it is
equally absurd to speak of a man
in whose fife and careerr are em
bodied all for which these millions
south suffered as an arch-rebel,
,and at the same time claim patri
otic kindred with the people he
represents. Balm a wound with
honey^ not vinegar..
To this he adds these remarks:
Kindness’of_heart is what i
southern negro recommendsttobis
white fellow countrymen as a\ per
manent cure fpr ali i bitter n ess and
sorrow. Christ Jesus does the
same. Take Mr! Davis to yonr
bosoms. It may win him f. o n
his grief long enough to bless his
reuuited country with a plea for
patriotic confraternity. Make him
feel that to .be]jn the Union is to
be loved; not outlawed. Then will
the south see the grandeur and glo
ry of the .cause, of Lincoln, Grant
add Charles Sumner; each of
whom,would be acting on this line
if living o.n dearth] today; and each
of whom, together with Bobert E.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson, are on
this fine in the other land today.
Tnis is my prescription for the ill
ness of the nation.
I may be wrong in declaring
that Christianity has no more de
voted adherents oh the globe than
are to be found among the white
men and women of the south, and
that their humanity and religion is
a better basjs -fpr . negro security
than any. contemplated legislative
enactments. When I look at the
number of negro homes -; in every
southern community, built by ne
gro ivage earners; their numerous
churches; built: in good part by
southern philanthropy; ; while
schools ornament every district;
asylums honor every state^and ev
ery negro sorrow has a white man’s
sympathy, every, negro funeral a
white mourner, and then enter; an
unequivocal protest against the as
sertion that the negro.suffers from
a species of outlawry at the hands
of the dominant race at the south,
it may indicate water on the brain.
When every southern state is bear
ing hec-legitmate share of nation
al burdens and responsibilities,
with both patriotic and heroic
pride, I may be a fool for denying
that the eruptive fires pf another
rebellion are smothered in every
southern home. To plead with yon
northern white men to cease jeet-
ing the ciyilizsation of the south,
and treat her, not patronizingly,
but patriotically, may sound sense
less, but so long as a cold .and dic
tatorial attitude ..toward 'lier pre
vails, what guarantee have we pf
a better and brighter era for all
our land? jDoncord among you
white men must be the precursor
of radical adjustment in this coun
try.

Over this a layer of straw an inch
thick is spread, and then a coating
two inches thick of adhesive mud,
taken from the bottom of a canal

The raft is moored to the bank in
still water, and requires no further
attention. The straw soon gives
way ahd the_soil also, j’the roots

White petals and yellow stamens,
nestling among the round the
leaves, presents a very pretty] ap.
pearance. Ini some places marshy
land is profitably cultivated in this
manner. Besides these floating
vegetable gardens there are also
floating rice fields. Upon rafts
constructed qs= above weeds and
adhdrfent mud were placed as a
flooring, and when the rice’shoots
were ready for transplanting .they
were placed in the floating soil,
which, being adhesive and held sin
place by weed roots, the, plants
were . maintained . in position
throughout the season. The rice
thus planted ripened in from sixty
to seventy in place of one hundred
days,. The rafts are cabled to the
shore, floating on lakes, pools or
sluggish streams. These floating
fields served to avert famines,
whether by drought or flood. When
other fields Were submerged and
their crops sodden or rotten, these
floated and flourished, and when
a drought prevailed they subsided
with the falling water and while
the soil around was arid advanced
to maturity. Agricultural treatises
contain plates representing rows
of rice fields moored to stprdy
trees on the banks Of rjvere or
lakes which existed , formerly in
the lacustrine, regions; of the lower
Yangtse and Yellow rivers.
