Mr. Lowery came to the bedside at once. “What can I do for you, Dick?” ho asked. “Is there anything I can do? Only say what it is, Dick.” The dying congressman was able to tell him in the next few moments that a mortgage for 15, 000 on some property of his here in the city worried him, because it might make trouble for his wife As soon as he could gather his friend’s meaning Mr. Lowery re¬ tired for a moment to a corner. “Here, poor fellow,” he said, as he held a piece of paper up before the eyes of the sufferer. “Then! Perhaps that will relieve you. Don’t worry,don't worry, Dick." The piece of papier was a check for $5,000. * BUCKLEN’S ARNICA SALVE. ^ . ’ Ulcl, Tetter, silt 1{ho im> Fever Sores, Chapped Hands, Chilblains Corns, a nd all Skin Eruptions, and posi tively cures Piles, or no pay re f ull ,l e d.

NEGROES SKIPPING, It is stated that Mrs. Harrison turned all the colored servants out of the white house, and filled their places with white ones. Some of these colored people have been in the white house for many years, and have come to re gard it as their home. A re publican leader is in possession, and while lie talks sympathetical ly about the colored race, neither he nor bis family desire any of that race in their home. Under the Harrison regime all the white house servants will be white, ex¬ cept perhaps the coachman, and lie is retained simply because be has held the place so long lie lias become a sort of llxture. If tlie President in making appointments follows tlie same policy that Mrs. Harrison lias adopted, no colored folks need apply this admiustra tion.

FOR SAMMY. It is stated that the Rev. Sam W. Small will probably be a can¬ didate for congress from tlie Fifth Georgia district next year, and that he will depend upon the pro¬ hibitionists and the republicans to elect him. A republican newspa¬ per, commenting on this, says that there can be no doubt that Mr. Small would sweep tlie dis¬ trict, as he has the nerve to make an aggessive campaign. It will be remembered, however, that Mr. Small made an aggessive campaign for state senator from the Atlanta district last year, and that he was defeated. The peo¬ ple of this state are not going to send him to congress as long as liis course has a tendency to di¬ vide the Democratic party of the state, and it is doubtful if they would elect him to office under any circumstances.—Savannah News.

THE BRIDLE. “Don’t go without a bridle, boys,” was my grunfutker’s favo¬ rite bit of advice. Do you suppose we were all teamsters or jockeys? No such thing. If he heard one cursing and swearing, or given to much vain and foolish talk, “That man has lost his bridle,” he would say. Without a bridle, the tongue, though a little member, “boasteth great things.” It is an unruly evil, full of deadly pois n.” Put a bridle on, and it is one of the best servants the body and soul have. “I will keep my mouth with a bridle,” said King David; and who can do better than follow his ex¬ ample? When my grand father saw a man drinktng and carousing, or a boy spending all bis money for cakes and candy, “Poor fellowl” ho would say, he’s left off his bridle.’ The appetite needs a relining. Let it loose, and it will run you to gluttony, drunkenness, and all sorts of disorder. Be sure to keep a bridle on your appetite; don’t let it be master. And don’t neg¬ lect to have one on your passions. They go mad if they get unman¬ ageable, driving you down a blind and lioad-long course to ruin. Keep tlie clieck-rein tight: don't let it slip; hold it steady. Never go without your bridle. That was the bridle my grand¬ father meant—the bridle of self government. Parents try to re¬ strain and check their children, and you can generally tell by their behavior what children have such wise and faithful parents. But parents cannot do everything. And some children have no pa¬ rents to caro for them. Every boy must have Ids ovu bridle, and every girl must have hers. They must learn to check and govern themselves, Helf government is the most difficult and most important government in the world. It becomes easier every day, if you practice it with steady and resolute will. It is the foundation of excellence. It is the cutting and pruning which makes the noble and vigorous tree of character.—Ex. -———* * •- ————— You will have no use for spec tades if you use Dr. J. H.

Grady made a speech at Albany, Ga., last Thursday, and from his address we take these two beautiful paragraps: “The Georgia farmer has much to blame himself for. One crop never made a country great and nover will. When, however, every farmer in this state, unslaved by debt can sit down among bis own dairies and orchurds, and eat the bread from Ins own field and the meat from his own pasture, pitch his crop in his own wisdom and sell it in his chosen market, then we will see a prosperity in Georgia of which you have not dreamed heretofore." The love of the soil drew out one of Mr. Grady’s most eloquent passages, which was as follows: “My friends, what we need, it seems to mo, is to love Georgia; not to love the name, but to love the Soil; to pin our faith to the old red hills and to love the soil, the dear body of our old mother; to love the moun¬ tains thut aro her springing breasts; the acres that hold her treasures; the dimpled valleys in which her beauty rests; the rivers that bind ber about us a silver girdle; the brooks, which ring her happy laughter; the winds that sing her songs of lulluby and of peace." 1T IS A CURIOUS FACT That the body is now more medicine sus¬ ceptible to benefit other from Hence than at any season. the importance of tuking Hood’s Sarsaparilla now, when it will do you the most good.
