WITH THE WISE.
Find a way or make one.
Everything is either pusher or
pushed. The world always lis
tens to a man with a will in
him.—Marden.
The only worthy end of all
learning, of all science, of all
life, in fact, is that human be
ings should love one another
better. —George Eliot.
A loving confidence in the
God we have offended is the key
to His heart, the key which
unlocks the treasury to His!
grace. —Gould burn.
There are no songs compar
able to the songs of Zion, no j
orations equal * those of the
prophets, ana no politics like
those whose which the script
ures teach. —John Milton.
If you would be well with a
gr-at mind, leave him with a
favorable impression of you:
if with a little mind, leave him
with a favorable impression of
himself. —C deridge.
Restraining grace is an amaz
ing work of God. It is more
wonderful than his setting a
bound to the sea that it cannot
pass over. Think what a hell
every unconverted bosom would
become if the Spirit were to
withdraw and give men over to
their own hearts’ lusts.—Me

Cr atiou is the organ, and a

PLANET MARKS ON*THK
BODY.
EVERY PERSON HAS ONE AT BIRTH.
GOVERNED BY STARS.
From the Boston Journal.
“I assure you I have no
moles,” say some people, hut
this is impossible; every liunitm
creature when it is born bears
on some part of its body the
mark of the sign pr planet
which governed at the hour of
its conception and nativity,
and moles are contingent on
these, impressed by the influ
ence of the celestial signs, and
answering thereto, not only in
their formation and position,
but varying according to the
dominion of the several plan
ets.
Moles are of three colors, red,
honey color, and black, flat or
raised like a wart, those on the
right side of the face or person
being usually symbolical of
good, while those on the left
mostly denote ills and misfort
unes.
After a long and exhaustive
study of the science, a savant
says he is convinced that, not
only the character, tastes, and
disposition of an individual,
but the future itself to a great
extent may be determined by
the locul position, relation and
general appearance of these
natural marks.
If the sun, at a nativity, bo
in Aries and ascendant, the
mark of that sign will be on
the head, probably on the left
ear. When Venus is lady, a
flat violet mark will be found
on the thighs.
When born under Gemini the
mark is on the arms.
If born under the first part
of the sign of Cancer, t he mark
is above the breast, and lias no
feeHiig if pierced by a needle.
Those who are born under
Capicoru have the sign on th**
knees.
When Leo is ascendant the
marks are on the left breast.
If Mercury be lord, the marks
are on the left side, or upon
the legs.
The nutivity being under Vir
go, there are black or reddish
spots upon the stomach.
The lust of the signs, Pisces,
governs tho feet, and those born
under this dominion are of
pleasant countenance, brave
and ingenious.
A man haviug a mole on the
right side of the forehead will
be exceedingly lucky. To a
•woman it denotes gifts from
the dead.
One on the left side of the
forehead foretells, to a man,
long imprisonment,and it shows
a woman to be foolish, simple
and idle.
A mole on the hinder part of
the neck predicts a happy life,
but threatens untimely death
by drowning.
A mole on both sides of the
neck, opposite to each other,
foretells dangers and perils
with ill fortune.
A man having a mole on the
left side >4' the upper lip rarely
marries, and in a woman it de
ludes trouble and suffering If
on the under lrp, it shows her
to bo improvident, and a man
had best beware of her,
A nude in the hollow of the
chin denotes a woman to be
contentious ami quarrelsome.
On the edge of the chin, it
shows good fortune, happy mar
riage and a long life, of what
ever color it may be, excepting
black.
To possess a mole upon the
throat is very unlucky, indi
cating that the individual will
(lit* by the hand of justice, or
should it appear as a wart he
perishes by water.
On the right side of the up
per lid, a finger’s breadth above
the mouth, a unde signifies t*>
either sex great fortune. A
woman having it wili be come
ly, graceful, healthy in body,
and careful for the things of
this world; she will marry well
and live happily, her best time
for marriage botweeu 19 and
24, and she will make a true
wife and uu exceptionally hap
py mother.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th 1897
SOME GUEER PEOPLE.
The Tsimpseans are compos
ed of the following tribes: The
Crow, Bear,Whale, Frog, Wolf,
Beaver and Eagle. Each of
these represents a family or
tribe corresponding to the clan
Campbells of Scotland, or the
Nakamuras of Japan. Each
tribe lias its own crest, as in
Japan at this day. A member
of the Wolf tribe has the wolf
for its crest, and a Bear has
the moon and stars, showing
his celestial origin.
An Indian may not marry
one of his own crest. Rut lie
may marry into any other clan
excepting an allied tribe. A
Crow may marry into any clan
except the Frog, the Frog into
any but the Crow; the Whale
any but the Bear, the Bear any
but. the Whale; the Beaver any
but. the Eagle, the Eagle any
but the Beaver, and the Wolf,
being so different frt.ni all in
ancestry, may marry into any
tribe.
Suppose a Wolf marries a
Crow woman; the children are
all Crows. They are named
after the mother, not after the
father. In quarrels between
two tribes, as the Wolf and
l Crow,the children, being Crows,
would bo forced to join their
mother against their father,
and he would fight against ull
Crows, including his own fami
ly-
A Crow is a member of a
Crow family, or crest, to such
an extent that when in a dis
tant. village he would sojourn
with a Crow household, and
tvouljl there tie treated as a
veritable son or brother. If in
the village there are no Crows,
then, as the Frogs are closely
allied, hi* would go to them and
receive tie* same treatment as
if he were a Frogs So among
ill allied crests, the same loy
alty is maintained. —The Chau
tauqua.
AN ANCIENt’rATTLE
SNAKE.
A huge rattlesnake has for
fifty years been known to live
in the cliffs of Jennie’s creek,
Johnson county j and many at
tempts have been made to cap
ture it. One day last week a
cow belonging to Dan Davis,
who lives in the neighborhood,
was bitter, by a snake, and by
marks in the sand and weeds in
the pasture tie In Mr. Davis con
cluded at ouce that the cow was
bitten by a huge rattlesnake,
and offered $25 to any one who |
would kill it One of Mr. Da
vis’ farm hands armed himself
with two 38-calibre pistols and
followed Ihe trail about a mile i
to a cave in th** cliffs. Climb j
ing a sapling overlooking the|
month of the cave, lie remained I
there between three and four I
boors, when the monster ap
peared. The hunter fired nine
shots into the snake before lie
killed it, and on measuring it it
was found t<> be 18 feet long. Its
body in circumference measured
29 inches. The rattles on its
tail were two feet long and eight
inches broad.
Citizens of 6<> and 70 years
of age who live in the vicinity
say that when they were young
they heard pimple tulk of a mou
ster snake inhabiting tbosecliffs
and signs of the reptile have
been seen every few years.—

USING LONG WORDS.
Doctors who are in the habit
of using long words when visit
ing people may take a hint
from the following little story:
Ail old woman, whose hiisliaud
wus not very well, sent for the
doctor, who came and saw the
old wife
“l will send him soii|e* medi
cine which must be taken in a
recumbent position.”
After he had gone I lib old
woman sat d< wo greatly puz
z|ed.
“A recumbent position—a ro
cumhent position!” she kept
! repeating. “1 haven’t got one.”
At last sh thought, “l will go
and see it Nurse |,owu has got
i one to ism! me.”
Accordingly she wont and
j said to the nurse:
.“Have you a recumbent po
Sltioo to Ipnd |pe to tuku some
medicine in?”
The nurse, who was equally
as ignorant as the clfi woman,
replied:
“1 had one, but to tell you
the truth, I have lost it.”

SOME INTERESTING PARA
GRAPHS.
WRITTEN FOR THE HERAI.D.
John Calvin, (ho f under of
Presbyterianism and the author
of the Calvinistic doctrine, was
born in the year 1509.
He took r.n active part in thi
great French Reformation whee
he was quite young, It is said
that lie accomplished much
good during Ids ministry. Bu!
his doctrir.e was one that was
full of error. Tho doctrine
that he preached was that if
predestination and election,
which means that God foreor
dained whatsoever comes to
pass. And that he elected a
definite number of people, I) •-
fore the foundation of the
world, for salvation and that,
in his own good time and plea*-
are, he will effectually call
these chosen ones and they will
be saved.- This doctrine means
that those who are not elected
shall all be finally lost.
The Presbyterian chinch of
this day holds precisely the
same views which Calvin taught
away back in the fifteenth cen
tury.
Calvin lived to bo 55 years
old and died in the year 1564.

Abraham Lincoln, that noted
abolitionist, was the first presi
dent of the United Htates elec
ted by the Republican party.
This is how ins election cam*-
about. In 1860 the Democrats
split on tho slavery question,
and the Northern wing nomina
ted Stephen A. Douglas and ihe
Southern wing put < rlli John
C. Breckenridge. When lie
election came off the Republi
cans had a majority of the elec
toral votes and Abraham Lin
coln. was declared elected.
Shortly after Lincoln’s inau
guration the bloody struggle be
tween the States caine on.
On April Ith, 1565. while the
President and quite a number
of friends were at Ford’s Thea
er in Washington, John Wilkes
Booth, an actor, stepped up be
hind Lincoln and shot him
through the head. From the
effects of the wound he died
next morning-
Audrew Johnson, the Vice-
President, of courre, succeed'd
him and he quietly assumed the
duties of a president.

Queen Elizabeth, of England
ascended the throne a' tie ng**
of 25. She was the daughter of
Ileury the VIII. and Anne
Boleyn.
During her reign there wrs
much disturbance thmugbout
the kingdom. A gr*-at many
people were beheaded by her or
der.
One of the most prominent
persons executed during her
reign was her cousin, Mary,
queen of Scots, who was a ven
blood-thirsty woman, herself.
She was charged with conspira
cy against the govern tin nt.
Elizabeth was never married.
And it is raid that she requested
that these words be ii.scrib* d

She reigned for forty years,

From “Searching in the Si
lence,” by George Mathe
son, D. D,
Hitherto ye have asked nothing
in my name, ask ami ye shall re
ceive. (John xvi. Z-1.)
The Master is wearying for
the development of the pupil.
He seeks it in the progress of
His prayers. He measures the
value of His prayers, not by
what He wants, but by His rea
son for wanting it.
“Ye have asked nothing in
My name” means “Ye have
asked nothing in My interest.”
It makes no difference that
Adam asks an apjile, and John
the right hand in the kingdom,
they both ask equally amiss,
for each desired only his own
joy. The fault in Adam is not
that he seeks the apple, but that
he seeks it from the wrong gur
den. The same fault may be
got from either of two gardens
—Eden orGethseinane. At the
gates of Eden I seek it, tor my
self, at the gates of Gethsemane,
I desire it for another. The one
is a request in my own name,
the other is in the name of Je
sus.
Name above every name, pu
rify my desires. It is by my
desires that thou measureet my
progress; teaeli me to pray. It
is not new desires that 1 want;
it is a new name in which to
bank the old treasures —thy
name instead of mine. Men
have called me a worldling in
tha bygone time, because I have
sought so much for gold. Yet.
it is not less of gold I would
seek now, it is less of self. I
feel os if I needed the wealth of
this world more than lever did.
Hut now I need it for thee. It
is not a change of money, it is a
change of investment. 1 put it
in tliy name. 1 bank it for thee
l would not have less worldly
toil. I would not lie seen more
seldom iu the exchange. I
would not relax the wheels of
industry nor abate the ardor of
enterprise. 1 waut a change of
thought,not of theater. 1 would
send my merchandise over a
mightier sea than ever before it
traversed —the ocean of thy
love. 1 would make the once
mammon of unrighteousness a
hehvenly f rtend. I would plant
