ROCKDALE BANNER. SUBSCRIPTION: PER YEAR (in advance)........$1.00. FOR 6 Months 50 cts. at the Conyers Pont Office as second class mail matter. Advertising rates made known on Demand* Job Work Neatly and Promptly Executed. T.D. O’KELLEY - Business Manager JOHN H. MADDOX Editor The best sermon ever preached is a holy life; the best music ever chanted is a consistent walk. Every man, however humble his station or feeble liis powers, exercises some influence on those who are about him for good or evil. A Philadelphia optician says that many of the worst cases of defective eyesight which he knows are due to the habit of gum. The constant chewing af¬ fects the nerves that lead from the spine to the optic nerve. often has cases of young whose failing eyesight is due tirely to this cause. Besides their eyes lack life and “My daughter with Scrofula, was and, troubled one time, it was feared she lose her completely sight. Ayer's restored rilla has health, and .her eyes are as well ever, with not a trace af in her system.”—G. King, ly, Conn. Said a very old man: folks are always complaining the weather; but I am very ful when I awake in the and find any weather at all.” may smile at the simplicity of old man, but still his language dicates a spirit that contributes much to calm and peaceful life. It is better and wiser to that spirit that to be of things as we are. Be thankful for such mercies as you have; and if God sees it will be for your good and Ins glory, he will give you more. At least, do not make your¬ self and others unhrpjn by your ingratitude and complaint’. • Horace Greely once wrote a note to a brother dit.or in New York, writing was equally illegible with his own. The recipient of the note unable to read it, sent it back by the same messenger to Mr. Greely for elucidation. Sup¬ posing it to bo an answer to his own note, Mr. Greely looked over it, but was likewise unable to read it, and said to the boy, “Go; take it back, what does the fool mean?" “Yes sir,” said the boy, “that’s just what lie says.” Mr. F. B. Kirby has purchased the Elijah Courier. Mr Walter S. Coleman, who retires from the Courier, takes charge of the Oe dartown Standard. The vocal organs are strength¬ ened by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Clergymen, lawyers, singers, actors, and public speak¬ ers find this preparation the most effective remedy for irritation and weakness of the throat and lungs, and for all affections of the vocal organs. The charge that the late Wash¬ ington Irving Bishop was placed under the dissecting knife before he was dead renders interesting all recent eases in any way simi¬ lar to his. One of the latest of these is that of an old man named Johu Stephens, who lives m Penu sylvania. Hi oody was not dis seated before death, but he came very near being buried alive. He was supposed to have died sever al days ago, and all necessary arrangements for his funeral were made. He was placed in a coffin, and was actually being conveyed to the cemetery when he regained control of himself He says he was fully aware of the prepara tious for his funeral ‘ ’ but lie could do nothing to b 1 i°vt that lie ww not dead Tins * one of the most remarkable cases of its kind. One of , the ,, sti , tilings . ange a "n nected with Dr. Cronin's death is this: Sometime before he died he said that in the event of his death he would h»ve a very larj-e toner aland that there would De il searching inquiry into the cause of his death. This-prophecy in every respect came true. It seems that he felt that his life was by his enemies. The art of not hearing should learned by all. It is fully as to domestic happiness a cultivated ear, for which so money and time are expen¬ There are so many things which it is painful to hear; many we ought not to hear; very many which, if heard, will disturb the temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract from contentment and happiness, and every one should be educated to take in and shut out sounds according to his pleasure. If a man falls into violent passion and calls us all manner of names, at the first we should shut our ears and no more. If, in our quiet of life, we find ourselves m one of those domestic winds of scolding, we should our ears as a sailor would furl sails, and making all tight, before the gale. If a hot restless man begins to inflame feeling, we should consider mischief these fiery spark may in our magazine below, where temper is kept, and instantly the door. If, as has been ked, all the petty things said one by heedless or idlers were to be brought to him, he would become a walking pincushion, stuck full sharp remarks. If we would happy when among good we should open our ears; among bad men, shut them. is not worth while to hear our neighbors say about our dren, what our rivals say our business, our dress, or our fairs. The art of not though untought in schools, is no means unpracticed in We have noticed that a woman never hears a vulgar impertinent remark. A kind discreet deafuess saves one many insults, from much from not a little connivance d i si i on oral tie con versation.

How true it is, as the mechanic says, thousands start well but never finish one thing at a time. They have a dozen on hand and no one completed, Time is wasted on work. Always finish what you gin. One thing finished is a hundred half done. The pletion of an undertaking more pleasure and profit that ens of plans. The man who is ways planning or scheming rarely, if ever, successful.

If we are to jvulge the future by the past, Mr. Harriron’s adminis¬ tration as President, is going to be a purely partisan one. Thus far every act of his points in this direction, All of his appoint ments have been made in reward of party services. While in many instances regard has been taken of the merits and qualifications of the applicants, a majority of his appointments have been largely due to services rendered by his own partisans. From a political standpoint, Mr. Harrison is doing a wise thing. He is drawing his friends closer to him, and no man ever makes a mistake who does this. But, unfortunately for Mr. Harrison, there are two elements in his party, and he will find it extremely difficuly to please both of them. The friends of Mi. Blaine are already giving evidence of discontent. In fact, it has been that there is alieady troub¬ le in the camps, and that a divi¬ sion is becoming evident between the members of the cabinet. Per¬ haps the country will see a repeti¬ tion of affairs experienced in the early history of the Garfield ad¬ ministration. If such a should occur as an open breach between Harrison and Blaine, would prove disastrous to the publican party. The however, would have cause to gratulate itself. PHYSICIANS CONFESS.
