GEORGIA WEEKLY-OPINION. VOL. I-KO. 22.1 ATLANTA, GA„ TUESDAY MOKNING, DECEMBER 31,1867. ITEKMS—§:j 00 enjoyment. There Im nothing intellectual about It. A man drinks whisky a* a hog drinks swill; only with this difference, that In the former ease the animal saerl- ileea health, steady nerves ami an active, clear brain, for & few moments of beastly enjoyment Whereas In the .second <■«»<“• the animal drinks a decoction which in not only palltablo to swinish tin* to. hut affords nutriment to tho vital functions of the body. Drinking has liec'ome a sort of popular faith, it is thought that a man cannot tritely happy unless lie drinks. Among certain clashes, a ‘vSrliiU” is the beginning and'ending «f everything. If two friends moot after long separation, they must take u "drink.” If tliey fall out and quarrel, anu afterwards make up. the reconciliation iiiest be signalized hy a ••drink.” The very ntemeof whisky Is held to be synonymous with enjoyiueui; and the harder tho times, ami the dearer the liquor, the more it is j)rizod and riveted. Men Will borrow money at tln^e per cent, per mouth to •drink < 'hampidgin* upon, w hen they would tuel unable to pay the same rates on money with w tikih pay their just debts. The aiimiiU return ofthe Christmas ho.i- d.ay-. is tbetcgual to get *meUow.” The landlonktbr merchant, the shoemaker, fbe tailor, riit physician, the printer, and in seine instances the pc-acher too. must go-ur-MMid in mver to rfford a t ir«l\ eu-toiiew. •„ dolinqui* it die.at.

The fact therefore, that, they voted almost unanimously for tlie resolu tion recominemling Mr. Chahk as the nom inee of the party for tlic next Presidential term, is not without ^ sigJiiilc imce.

The best plan »r a parent to pursue, in respect to a vo- ition for hi-* boy. Is to w atch the limit of the youth's talent and inclination, and see what Nature designed him for. It is natu ral lor a parent to think that Ids b<*v is a prodigy, and that he is capable of Hlling a nigh .-tation in life. For tiie boy’s sake, Imwever. it is better to start him right, in life, even though tiie starting place be low upon tiie ladder, than to put him in a posi tion where he can make no progress.
