CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1889.
But here is a man, of moderate
ability, of small wealth, of-few
school-days; but there is some
thing about the very atmosphere
in which he lives that indi
cates that we are in the presence
of a whole man. The warm grasp
of the hand shows that he is ear
nest in his friendships. We can
not be with him ten minutes with
ont hearing some remark which
tells us that he has a great and
eontrolliug purpose in life, an ob
ject to gain that is worthy of a
whole man. The moral earnestness
makes the man whole; the whole
man carries out the earnest pur¬
pose. No man without a large,
controlling*, towering purpose can
be great. The greater the pur¬
pose of his life, the greater the
man. Now we can understand
hpw the weak stumbling Chrtsti
an, growing up into the likeness
of Christ, can at last become a
king and priest unto God. This
king and priest is but the whole
man, taken one step further and
given time enough to grow.

JENNY LIND AND THE DISSIPATED
MUSICIAN.
The only person I ever met who
knew Jenny Lind in her childhood,
was Max Bronzden, an old mu
sician. 1 asked him to tell me of
her, and the old man's furrowed
face became radiant with a smile,
“Remember her," said he; “she
has been the angel of my life; the
memory of her voice was my
salvation. She and I were once
alike poor. We were young and
happy. Hand in hand we used to
wander in the fields and on the
hills of old Sweden* -x- Tears
passed, and she became the idol
of prmces-and kings, and from
ufar I worshiped her, as I A\oultl
worship a star in yonder heaven.
I tried to keep pace with her, but
failed. I became a victim to
strong drink, and with that vile
passion ambition was buried. In
1849 I was passing ‘Her Majesty s
Theatre in London. I was sober
enough to recognize the clear,
ringing thrill that had tin illed me
in my boyhood days. Ivas pen

ermine-clad men and women were

throng, evaded the ticket agent
and gained entrance. In a shad
recess I crouched and lis
tened. Lucia Lammermoor was
the opera, and she was Lucia. I
saw her appear in the first scene
joyous andliappy. Every part of
the character she protrayed with
lieart-searcliing truth. Then came
the climax of her powers, her ul¬
timate madness—the crushing of
the heart and mind which produc¬
ed the death scene in the last act.
For a moment there was a thrill¬
ing silenc e then a tempest of ap
