our historical work.
When Emerson’s library urns

as he stood with the fire-light on
his strong, sweet face and endeav¬
ored to express my sympathy for
the loss of his most valued posses¬
sions, but he answered cheerily,
“Nevermind, Louisa; see what a
beautiful blaze they make! We
will enjoy that now.” The lesson
was never forgotten, and in the
varied losses that come to me, I
have learned to look for something
beautiful and bright.—Miss Al

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 24 , 1890
PURE AIR,
Prometheus, according to the
story of Greek mythology, stole
fire from heaven and brought it
down to earth. It appears, says
the Newcastle Chronicle, that the
performance of a somewhat analo¬
gous service is gravely contempla¬
ted by the promoters of the W at
kin tower, not fire, but pure air
being the useful commodity which
it is intended to convey from the
lofty hight to the low er level for
thebenefit of mankind. The tow
er is to be not less than 1,200 feet
—considerably higher than its
prototype in Paris.
At this atmospheric point, air,
even in London, is declared to be
absolutely pure; and it is proposed
that by means of machinery spec¬
ially devised for the purpose, a
supply of fresh air shall be drawn
to the street level, and thence dis¬
tributed to houses and public
buildings, as water and gas now
are. The project to thenon-scien
tific mind at least, may look rath¬
er shadowy, albeit the object aim¬
ed at is so excellent and worthy
that it is to be hoped that it may
not be destined to remain in nub
ibus.

The foreign population of Chic¬
ago is computed at 570,000 of
whom 150,000 Irish, 00,000 Polish
40,000 Scandinavian, 50,000 Bohe¬
mian and 15,000 Italian. The
ratio of foreign to native popula¬
tion in New York is even greater,
and in Boston it is as graat. This
country has swallowed a great
deal of Europe and it is time that
a rest should be taken until the
process of digestion and assimila¬
tion is completed.
Miss Brackett, the writer and
teacher, has had a right-hand side
saddle made and rides on either
side of her horse indifferently. Slie
was moved to this by the convic
tion that constant ridining on the
left side was injurous to both rider
and horse. The tbree daughters
of the Princes of Wales and other
ladies of England have adopted
Miss Brackett’s innovation,
Did you ever wonder as you en¬

Caroline, queen of George II.,
was once moved by a covetousness
similar to that which incited Ahab
to ask Gaboth for his vinyard ad¬
joining the royal palace that he
might make it a “garden of

The queeu lived in St. James
palace, and thought that the ad¬
joining St. James park belonging
to the public would make a nice

Robert Walpole, what it would

The following is from Senator
Blair’s valuable book, “The Temp¬

ing of his own manufacture which
has such power over the body and
soul of man as that mysterious
substance to which has been given
the name—alcohol. Indeed so
subtile and canny are its methods
of asserting its influence, so com¬
manding is its control over the
spiritual as well as the physical
structure, and so direct do its re¬
lations appear to be with the eter¬
nal essence as well as with tho ma
terial parts of human nature, that
from time immemorial this strange
drug has maintained a personified
existence in the imaginations of

A Monkeys Temperance Lesson.
In my youth, says a writer in an
exchange, I had a friend who had
a monkey. We always took him
out on onr chestnut parties. He
shook all our chestnuts for us.
One day my friend stopped at a
tavern and gave Jack about a half
a glass of whisky. Jack took the
glass and drank its contents, the
effects of which soon set him skip¬
ping, hopping and dancing. Jack
was drunk. We agreed to come
to the tavern next day and see if
'Jack would drink again.
I called in the morning at my
friends house; but instead of being
as usual, on his box, Jack was not
to be seen. We looked inside and
there he was crouched up in a,
heap. “Come,” said his master.
Jack came out on three legs, ap¬
plying his fore-paw to his head.
Jack had the headache. He was
sick and couldn’t go. So we put
it off three days. We then met
again at the tavern and provided
a glass for Jack. But where was
he? Skulking behind chairs.
“Come here, Jack,” said his mas¬
ter, holding the glass out to him.
Jack retreated, and as the door
opened he slipped out and in a
moment was on the top of the
house. His master called him
down. Jack refused to obey. My
friend got a wbip and shook it at
him, The monkey continued on
the ridgepole. His master got a
gun and pointed it at him. Jack
slipped over to the back of the
building. He then got two guns
and had one pointed on each side
of the house, when the monkey
jumped upon the chimney and got
down in one of the fines and held
on by his fore-paws. My friend
kept that monkey twelve years
afterward, but never asked him
again to take whisky.—Wis, agri¬
culturist.
Very lately a reporter upon a
New York daily had occasion to
interview a gentleman in a popu
lar cafe of that city. During the
course of an hour he saw that the
proprietor was asked to drink by
at least a dozen men. Being a
“good fellow” and very popular,
he never refused. But the repor
ter observed that the manager
took the same kind of liquor that
his customers imbibbed. If it
were whisky then hotookgin, and
if the customer drank gin, then
the mauager took whisky. The
reporter also noticed that the pro
prielbr poured his own tipple out
oU different bottle from that
which he had set before his cus
tomers. Taxed with these facts
the man confessed his subterfuge,
He had a clear eye, healthy
ing skin and the appearance of
sober man. And lie averred that
he was not only perfectly sober,
but almost, if not entirely, an ab¬
stainer, and this is how he man¬
aged it: On the shelf behind him
stood his own paticular bottles of
liquor, one of cold tea, another of
cold water. When invited to take
whisky he declined and avowed a
preference for gin. After ser
ring his “friend” he turned and
helped himself from the water in
the bottle labeled “gin” on the
convenient shelf behind him.
When invited to join in a drink of
gin he declined in favor of whis¬
ky obtensibly. In reality he took
“two fingers” of cold tea. In this
manner he took at least “ten horns’
in the course of an hour, “You
see for yourself,” said he to the re¬
porter, “how hard it is for a pop¬
ular liquor seller to keep from be¬
coming a tank, a mero sot. Now
you see how I manage my boy.
I drink and drink and yet keep'a
clear head and a steady pulse.
But keep it quiet; it would not do
to let people know that the man
who sells as much liquor over his
bar as anybody in this ward is very
nearly an abstainer!” So far as
the man’s own habits go he is wise
in his day and generation. But
what an occupation!—-Union Sig¬
nal.
Miss Gibbs, a teacher in a South¬
ern college, wrote to Jefiergon Da¬
vis, asking him lo write a senti¬
ment which might serve as a motto
for Southern women. The reply
she received, says the St. Louis
Republic, might serve for the gui¬
dance of all mankind:
For my fellow countrywomen—
Be ye slow to anger, swift to for¬
give and hold fast the charity that

Kind words produce their own
image in men’s souls, and a beau¬
tiful image it is, They soothe and
quiet and comfort the hearer.
They shame him out of Lis sour,
morose, unkind feelings. We have
not yet begun to jjse kind words
in such abundance as they ought
to be used.
No Reason in It—“Talmage
says he came into the world ask¬
ing why.” “Well, he’s never been
able to find out since, has he? ’

Cromwell’s mother, a short time
before her death, blessed her son
in these words, ’’May the Lord
cause His face to shine upon thee,
and comfort the and enable the to
do great things for his glory and to
be a relief unto liis people. My
dear son, I leave my heart with
thee. A good night!'’—The Home
Maker.
It is easy enough to face great
dangers when they last but a little
while, and when their suenessful
endurances mean recognition and
honor; but the patient loyalties of
private life the self-effacement of
women for the sake of those in
their own household, who often
have neither comprehension of the
sacrifice made for them nor grat
titude for it, involve another and
higher kind of courage. In every
situation in life there are men and
women who are quietly putting
j j their own interests out of sight in
order that some other less vigor
| ous or less fortunate, may be sus
; tained and cared for. Theso beau
j tiful from sacrifices the •world, concealed constitute as they a
are
chaper of heroism the like of
which has never been written by

.The following story illustrating
the Astor philosophy in money
matters is told of the late John
Jacob Astor by the man who was
the other actor in the scene, “I
went to Mr. Astor," he said, “with
a business proposition which de¬
manded an investment of 1100,000
on his part. While listening to
the plan he kept groping andfeel
ing about on the floor for some¬
thing he seemed to have dropped.
When I had finished he saidread
ily: ‘All right; go on with the affair
I'll furnish the money.’ At that
instant a man entered to tell him
that one of his buildings had burn¬
ed down. ‘That happens nearly
every day,’ he said with the ut¬
most unconcern, and wont unfeel¬
ing about with great care for that
something on the carpet. I dually
asked him what he had dropped.
‘Why,’ he said, raising his head
and looking as woe-bc.gone as a
small boy. If a man's building
burn down, they are gone and he
can’t help it, and he is bound to
let them go. But a man who de¬
liberately throws away ten cents
because ho won’t take tho trouble
to find it is not to bo forgiven.”—
New York Evening Sun.
One who does any church work
at the minister’s request has not
thereby conferred a personal favor
and laid the minister under a per¬
petual obligation, any more than
the man who lias recovered his
strength by following tho physic¬
ian’s directions lias thereby place d
tho physician under a heavy debt
of gratitude. Tho pastor is giv -
mg his parishoners a work to do
for Christ is thereby helping them
to fulfill what should bo their
dearest wish in life; and when pas¬
tor and people thus labor and pray
with.eaoli other and for each other
in their common service there
must grow up an affection'between
them like that between parent and
child, and the work of tho Lord
must prosper in their hands,—Th e
Golden Rule.
A BOY’S TEMPTATIONS.
You have heard of tho old cas¬
tle that was taken by a single gun.
Tho attacking force had only one
gun, and it seemed hopeless to try
to take the castle; but ono soldier
said, Iwill show you bow we can
take the castle.” And he pointed
the cannon to one spot and fired,
and went on all day,never moving
the cannon.About nightfall there
were were a few grains of sand
knocked off the wall.-He did the
the same next day anp tho next.
By and by the stones began to
come away, and by steadily work¬
ing his gun for one week he made
a hole in that castle big enough
for the army to pass through.
Now with a single gun fireing a
way at every boy’s life,the devil is
trying to get in at on opening.
Temptation is the practice of the
soul; and if you never have any
temptation, you will never have
any practice. A boy who attends
fifty drills in a year is a much bet¬
ter soldier than the one that drills
only twice. . Do not quarrel with
your temptations; set yourself res¬
olutely to face them.—Prof. Ham¬
mond.
Before paper came into general
use our Teutonic forefathers wrote
their letters, calenders and ac¬

very unpleasant characteristics be¬
