TWO SIDRS OB' LIFE.
Seir York Ledgor.
There is a shady side of life,
And a sunny sid.e as well,
And ’tis.for every one to say
On which he’d choose to dwell.
For every one unto himself
Commits a grievo - is sin,
Who bars the blessed sunshine out,
And shuts the shadows in.
The clouds may wear their saddest robes.
The sun refuse to smile,
And sorrow, with her troop of ills,
May threaten ns the while;
But stiU the cheerful heart has ppwer
A sunbeam to provide,
And only those whose souls are dark
Dwell on life’s shady side.
Then wear a happy heart, my friend.
And fix your faith above;
A Heavenly father may afflict,
But does it all in love.
And they who strive to do His will,
And read His words aright,
With songs of triumph on their lips,
Walk always in the light.
THROWN ON THE WORLD

As the three nieces of Aunt Ad
ams stood before her in various at
titndes of abashed self-confidence,
she stared hard at them a inomeut
and then ejaculated:
“Well, realty! upon my word!”
“We’re very sorry,Aunt Adams,
murmured Katherine, “but we
couldn’t help it.”
“We didn’t know where else to
go,” said Emily.
“How were we to suppose that
Uncle Asa would marry again?"
sobbed Rosamond, the youngest
and plumpest of the three. “And
that his new wife would make
things so disagreeble for us that
we couldn’t stay at the. farm any
longer?’’
“Actually said,” struck in Kath
erine, “that she didn’t want three
great lazy girls around!”
“Is that the state of the case?”
said Aunt Adams.
“Yes;” chorused the three'for
lorn damsels, “that’s it exactly.
Katherine,according to her name,
was tall and stately. Emily was
slender and blue-eyed, with a pret
ty droop of her head* that made
you think of'a broken lily.
As for Rosamond, she was half
woman, HSif schoolgirl, as she
stood there surreptitiously eating
chocolate out of her dress pocket.
Aunt Adams folded the newspa
per and laid it down. She put her
eyeglasses iifto their case.
“Humph!” said she, “and what
reason have yon for supposing that
I want three great lazy girls here V’’
Katheriue drew herself up. Em
ily began to cry. Rosamond start
ed forward with crimson cheeks
and eyes ablaze:
“We are uot askiug any favors
of you, Aunt Adams,” said she.
“We only want you to put us in the
way of earuiug a living for our
selves.”
“Oh, that’s all, is it!” said Mrs.
Adams.
“Yes, that’s all,” sobbed Emily.
“Yes, indeed, that's all!” said ve
hement Katherine.
“What cau you do?” asked Aunt
Adams, with painful abrubtuess.
The three girls looked dubiously
at each other.
“I cau paint—a little,” murmur-
el Katherine.
“I can play'on the zither,” said
Emily, smiling through her tears.
“I made same mince pies last
week,” suggested Rosamond, hope
fully.
“Humph!”commented Aunt Ad
ams, after an embarrassing silence.
“If that’s cl!, I don’t see what’s to
keep you out of the pom house, all
- three of you.”
Once more the girls looked pite
ously at each other. They could
not say what was in their minds—
that they had expected as,a matter
of course that Auut Adams would
take them in ana make a home for
them—but they felt a good deal
like three female RobiusUn Cru-
Boes ou a desert island..
sibilities, and'perhaps it was rath
er hard, that in her old age these
three women bad settled down up
on her like unsolved problems.
It is not to be. denied that the
old lady was a little inclined ta.be
selfish. Old people who have lived
alone of ten are. And. if there had
been only one niece, Auut Adams
might possibly have adopted her.
But three of them!
“I have it!” said she,all of a sud
den. “Mrs. Eccleston was telling
me last week that she needed a
nursery governess for her seven
little girls. That will do very well
for Katherine. The salary is not
large, but the home is all that can
be desired.”
“Seven little girls!”gasped Kath
erine.
“Why not seven?" retorted Mrs
Adams. “You don’t snppose, do
you, that people are going to pay
you a salary for doing nothing?
Fil write a note to Mrs. Eccleston
this very morning! And I remem
ber hearing, when I took those
Venetian views to the photogra
pher’s to be mounted, that Mr. Ko-
dack was without an attendant in
the gallery. Photographing is a
very genteel business. I think it
would suit Emily exactly. I'll
write the address. She can go
there at once, or the place will be
filled. As for Rosamond, why,
there’s the position that my old
friend, Miss Blodgett, imed to have
at Middleton’s curiosity shop. The
very nicest people go to Middle-
ton’s, and it isn’t hard work to dust
the v»iBes and catalogue the curios,
a*nd all that sort of thing. Miss
that that yellow dragon vase was
worth two hundred dollars, and I
did try to handle it cautiously!
But my dress caught in one of its
claw feet, and the first I knew it
was in pieces on the floor. Of
course I began’ to cry and wring
my bauds, and then Mr. Frank
Middleton came in, and—and—
Well, we’re engaged now, and I
never dreamed that he cared for
me. i’m sure I don’t know what
the old gentleman will say, but
I’m not to go back to the store any
more. We’re-to be married right
away, and you and -Kathy shall
come and live with me. Mr. Frank
Middleton—I can’t help calling
him so, though he says I must say
Frank—says I am to be queen and
empresBin my new home.’
Emily hang her head with the
old lilylike droop.
“I—I’m afraid I can’t come,”
said she. “Mr. Lesiardi—that’s
the artist who enlarged enr photo
graphs in oils—and he has been
showing me how to color them,and
this morning be asked me to mar
ry him. He has. received an ap
pointment to teach the ai t classes
in Madam Musard’s great school,
and he says he can give me a good
home. Oh, Rosy, he’s so hand
some!"
• Just then "the door opened and
in walked queenly Katharine.
“Good evening, girls," said she.
“Don’t squeeze ms so hard! I’ve
given up my place!- I’ve given up
my place! I couldn’t endure the
children’s tyranny and the moth
er’s insolence any longer, not to
speak of that puppy, Mr.Williara
THE INCOME TAX.
SOUND ADVICE ABOUT COUTON.
Atlanta Const! tn tion.
The expenses of our government
are so enormous, and continue to
increase at such u rate,, that the
average taxpayer is- beginning -to
feel that his burdens are oppress
ive and unjust.
How to readjust our system of
taxation so that it will bear mors
fairly ana equally upon our people
and their various interests is one
o£ 4feS.E£Sfei ems now pressing for a
solution. Among the many sug
gestions advanced, the one in fa
vor of an ..income tax seems to re
ceive-the-most favorable attention.

And thus promptly Mrs. Adams
bowled her three nieces into their
places, HDd shifted off the respon
sibility, which she already began
to feel irksome.
Mrs. Eccleston was one of those
typical New York matrons who
make a great society show on very
little money, and Katherine Hay
ward found herself doing the work
of parlor maid and nurse, as well
as governess, at a salary so meagre
as to be almost ridiculous.
Emily was kept busy in Mr. Ko-
dack’s gallery from 'mornmg till
night, and poor Rosamond spent
her days in the dim nooks and cor
ners of the great curiosity shop,
dusting Japanese dragons, scour
ing old brasses, and answering
questions, enough to fill an ency
clopedia..
Emily and Rosamond had the
poor consolation at night of shar
ing the same room in a fifth-rate
boarding house, where they cooked
their breakfast and supper on a gas
stove, and made their frugal din
ner off buns or sandwiches from
the nearest bakery.
But Katherine had not even that
consolation. The fifth eldest Ec
cleston was a nervous child, afraid
of the dark, and the sixth was
croupy; and Katherine Blept in the
nursery, and was up and down
half a dozen times, in a night.
Truly, they none of them ate the
bread of idleness!
But had the work been twice as
hard, and the pay twice as poor,
nothing would have induced them
to appeal fpr aid or sympathy to
Aunt Adams. They were too proud
for that.
One morning, however, the doc
tor’s carriage stopped in front of
the old lady’s brownstone house.
“I thiuk it’s a fit,” said. Betsy,
the old housekeeper. “She calls it
a bad dream—says that the Skele
ton Death stood at her bedside,
grasping her by the throat, and
she called out on all those Hay
ward girls for help, and not one of
them came. And says the. skele
ton:. ‘You’ve.sent them away your
self!’ And now nothing wi.U.do.but
they must bejbroright back here

The doctor went upstairs. When
be came back he looked very grave.
for him—that’s ona comfort!”
“Darling,” erifed Rosamond-,“you
Bhall live with me!”
“No she shan’t!" said Emily.
“She shall come to me!”
But instead Katheriue went to
Aunt Adams.
“She is sick and helpless,” said
the sweet-natured girl, “and needs
me.”
The old woman* put out her
trembling hand and grasped her
niece's warm fingers.
“I’m qpt afraid of the skeleton
any longer," said she. “Stay by
me, Katherine—be sure you stay
by me!”
And Katherine’s sweet voice and
Btnile reassured her.
She recovered in time for Kath
eriue to decorate the house for her
sisters’ weddmg3. Even Aunt Ad
ams could not object to these alli
ances. Mr. Frank Middietou was
rich, aud Sjguor Amato Lesiardi
was well able to support a wife.

The price of cotton today makes
it remunerative, and this improve
ment has made itself generally felt
in* all lines of business. Let us
hope that it will not have the ef
fect that some of the Southern pa-
pe'rs anticipate of bringing about
an excessive* acreage next season,
another big crop and subsequent
low and unprofitable prices. The
fear is expressed that the South
ern farmer, having done well with
his cotton last year, may be tempt
ed to increase the acreage next
season, hoping to do still better,
not taking into consideration the
fact that all his neighbors may do
likewise,
The fact that cotton was being
overproduced has been recognized
for some time past. *The press
preached long sermons on the sub
ject, but it was only when the
farmers began to feel the evil ef
fects of this “all-cotton” policy,

fy concealment; the former can
hide his Wealth in his pocket. We
need, to correct this injustice, a
law that will tax incomes. Some
advocate a graded tax exempting
incomes nuder a certaiifsum. This
is a matter of detail for further
consideration at the proper time,
but for the present it is enough to
discuss the general proposition
that we should have, an iucome tax.
The revenue raised in this manner
would be so considerable that' the
taxes b'n all classes of visible prop
erty would be greatly reduced, and
the poor man’s cottage would no
longer be m danger of a forced
sale every year. Ope of • the main
objections urged agaist this plau is
that ii would tempt men to per
jure themselves to escape the tax.
Strict laws, watchful officials, and
swift punishment, would be suffi
cient. Under the proper system a
man with aii income of $100,000 a
year would not risk the penitentia
ry in a. rash effort to falsify his re
turns.
The justice of the system is ap
parent at a glance. If property
must be taxed, then there is no
sense in exempting one class be
cause it happens to be in the shape
of a big iucome that wonld buy up
a hundred heavily taxed little cot
tages. If it should be felt by the
rich to an uupleaaant : extent, the
answer is that as they are interest

with which ft protects life and

Maj. Glessner is now acting as
commissioner of immigration for
the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad, which position he former
ly held with the Central railroad.
He says the prospects for immi
gration to Georgia from the north
ern and western states this year
are very good. He has made ar
rangements to bring down three
excursion parties'from Ohio in the
spring, the largest of which will
number 300 people. The Georgia

their acreage in the staple.
It has benefitied them in two
ways; first, it has enabled them to
greatly increase their other and
particularly their food crops, sav
ing themselves considerable m out
lay for the latter and bringing in
much belter returns; and secondly,
the cotton crop cost less to pro
duce, but at the same time will
bring nearly the same amount as
previous excessive crops have
done.
TTb8 experience ought to con
vince them of what is the best
policy to pursue. It will be a
great mistake to return ,to the “all
cotton” system, e\en if the staple
remains at the same price, which
it, of course, will not do, if the
acreage and crop are greater.
That system will insure a return
to the depression which has pre
vailed io the agricultural-circles of
the South for the past few years,
The farmers will be putting in
their crops in a few months. Let
us hope that when this is done we
will hear that they fnlly under,
stand the situation, have profited
by their past experience and in
tend to diversify their crops, keep
the cotton acreage down, and thus
secure better returns, both for
that aDd all other products.
It would be well for the national
and state departments of agricul
ture to use their influence to con
vince the farmers of the wisdom
of 'the policy indicated in these
words.
A general return to the “all-cot-
ton” theory would be%; disaster to
the South. Let us hope that it
may be averted by the common
sense of our farmers.
It seems to us that the light of
experience is clear enough to
guide them along the safe path.

•All the Year Round.
Our readers have heard some
thing of the direct trade movement
in Georgia, but many of them are
not aware of what has been accom
plished in this line tor the entire
south.
Within the past year several
steamship lines have been estab-
Iised "between southern ports and
foreign countries.
The increase of steamship facili
ties appears all along the coast
from Newport News to New Or
leans. The Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad backs the new line from
Newport News to Liverpool with
a fleet of six first-class vessels, the
capital being furnished by British
and Amaricaii investors. Bruns
wick has five vessels of the Mur
rell line running between that port
and Liverpool aud Bremen, while
Savannah has a steamer of the
Prince line which will b^ followed
by others touching at Medi
terranean and Adriatic ports. An
other line is projected from the
same city. Charleston will soon
have a line to Mediterranean ports,
aud a LondoD firm is thinking of
starting a line from Port Royal,
S.C. A steamship line is now
running between Pensacola ana
Havana, and Bordeaux capitalists
are thinking of starting a line
from New Oleans.
Several prominent English capi
talists are closely studying our
southern ports, and it is safe to
say that the present year will see
the south enjoying all that it heeds
in the shape of direct trade fa
cilities. This means immigration
development and business. ’Nine

Fees of a Great Criminal Lawyer.
What does it cost to go to law?
It costs earns widely varying in
size. We make the rich pay for
the poor. Many of oar most cele
brated criminal suits are entirely
for sweet charity’s sake, becaase
the. client is unable to pay a cent.
We take them becaase we feel
that we can acquit them and score
a victory where others have failed.
Where our clients are rich we
charge them large sums and make
them pay all in a lump. The low
est fee for a divorce suit is
where we charge anything at all.
The highest we have ever received
for conducting such a suit is $32,-
000; the average is about 8500
People who have once been our
clients have a great affection for
us, as indeed they do for any law
yer who brings them out whole.
And so a lawyer’s life, instead of
being filled with stories of ingrati
tude aud falsity, very ofteD has
many a chapter crowded into it of
love and gratitude for successfully
carrying an innocent man or wo
man through an evil accusation,
aud for helping the guilty to take
advantage of every means offered
by the law of the country.—Abe
