Psalm XXIII.
David’s Confidence in God’s Grace.
A PSALM OF DAVID.
1. The Lord is my shepherd ; I
shall not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures : He leadeth me besido
the still waters. $
3. He restorcth my soul: He lead
eth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort
me.
5. Thou prepares! a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies: Thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life: and
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Twent-y-third Psalm.
The following poetic rendering of the 23d
psalm is by Bev. Mr. Gutheim, of New
Orleans, recently deceased :
The Lord’s my shepherd evermore,
I shall not want, nor e’er shall pine;
By tranquil streams He’ll place my store
On pastures sweet make me recline,
lie cheers my soul for His own sake,
He ever leads in virtue’s wake.
And though I walk through shades of Death
Through silent vales of mortal gloom—
I fear no harm from mould’ring breath,
God is with me beyond the tomb.
His rod and staff will surely be
My comfort in eternity.
My wants He kindly will supply,
My table in Ilis love prepare;
Despite the glance of envy’s eye
God will sustain me in His care;
He will with oil annoint my head
And on my cup His blessings shed.
Thus grace and goodness will attend
My journey to life’s hidden shore,
And happiness will crown my end
And be my portion evermore;
For in God’s house I shall abide
And ever bless my heavenly guide.
Love and Death.
They say she is dead, that her life went out
Last night as the clocks struck eight;
That the bride of a year at the altar stood
Again with another mate;
A mate called Death, who bore her away
To a couch more quiet than mine,
Where the love kiss comes from the lips of
the worm,
And the grave-damp symbols the wine.
’Tis false, and the liars who speak it know
That they lie, for she left me but now,
With the old-time light shining out of her
eyes,
And the old-time kiss on my brow.
If Death wants her body ’tis his, I say ;
Her love and her kisses are mine,
And the love is as sweet as the love of gods,
And the kisses are sweeter than wine.
—Lou J. Beauchamp in Detroit Fi ee Press.
In one end of the Western & At
lantic railroad depot, stands a big
clock, enclosed in a large glass
case. The pendulum swings slowly,
and the only sound is a low tick —tick
—tick —tick. The influence of that
quiet looking old clock is far reach
ing. All the engineers and conduc
tors and train men set their watches
by the big clock. The lives of hun
dreds of passengers and the safety of
great property depend on the old
clock attending strictly to business.
The hands must tell the truth. The
influence of the clock reaches still
further than I have suggested. The
people for a hundred and thirty-eight
miles eat, sleep and work according

to the time furnished by the broad
faced clock in the depot. The ap
pearance of the “up passenger,” or the
“down passenger,” or the “goober,”
or the “way freight,” or the “light
ning express” settles the question of a
local time-keeper’s accuracy. “Rail
road time” is regarded as the only re
liable, and in its presence all other times
are forced to the wall. — Atlanta Consti
tution.
One of the loveliest views which can
be seen from the trains of the Western
& Atlantic railroad is that looking east,
down the historic Noonday Valley.
Just on the north side is Kennesaw
Mountain, immediately west is Brush
Mountain, and the winding Noonday
Creek can be seen flowing quite a dis
tance to the east. Looking southward
is Kennesaw Mountain and the upper
end of Noonday Valley.
White Path Springs are fast becom
ing very popular with summer tourists.
Under the proprietorship of Mrs. W.
L. Robertson, these springs are secur
ing an enviable name. The hotel is
beautifully located, the water is ex
tremely beneficial,and both the atmos
phere and scenery are all that could
be desired. By all means spend a por
-1 tion of the summer at White Path
| Springs, and stop en route at Marietta,
' the “Gem City of Georgia,” as you go
or return.
Marietta has superb hotels and board
ing houses, a fine livery stable, splen
did drives, beautiful scenery, pure
water, glorious atmosphere; and is on
ly twenty miles from Atlanta, with
about half a dozen trains per day each
way.
“Rules of the Road,” at Sea.
Some rhyming sea-dog has set steer
ing rules for vessels to jingle, as fol
lows.
Two steamships meeting :
When both side lights you see ahead —
Port your helm, and show your Red.
Two steamships passing :
Green to Green —or Red to Led —
Perfect safety- go ahead!
Two steamships crossing:
If to your starboard Red appear,
It is your duty to keep clear,
To act as judgment says is proper;
To Port—or Starboard —Back—or Stop
her ?
But when upon your port is seen
A steamer’s starboard light of Green,
There’s not so much for you to do,
For Green to port keeps clear of you.
All ships must keep a good lookout:
Both in safety and indoubt
Always keep a good lookout.
In danger with no room to turn,
Ease her!—Stop her! —Go astern!
Seeing a vessel at anchor:
Ahead you see an anchor light,
Then port or starboard—do what’s right
According to the wind and tide
To pass in safety either side;
But if collision should ensue,
Then quickly summon all the crew
To man the boats without delay,
And don’t attempt to run away.
The Atmosphere of North Geor
gia for Invalids.
It has been demonstrated that one
of the best remedies for, or preventions
of pulmonary troubles is pure and ex
hilarating atmosphere; hence, Col
orado and New Mexico, each meeting
these requirements to a remarkable
degree, are becoming the regions to
which all who are troubled or threat
ened with bronchial or pulmonary
troubles, resort.
But figures tell their own story, and
the United States Census Reports,
which are the most accurate of any in
America, show that the mountainous
portion of northern Georgia is the
healthiest region in America, in this
respect.
The pure and exhilarating atmos
phere, almost reaching from Marietta
to the Tennessee and North Carolina
line, is remarkably beneficial to peo
ple threatened with hay fever, or oth
erwise predisposed to consumption and
bronchial affections.
When it is taken into consideration
that at Marietta and White Path there
are superb hotels, well kept, it is not a
matter of any wonder that people who
are posted come in great numbers tn
those points. The beginning has as
yet been hardly seen in this respect.
The great advantage which this re
gion enjoys over Colorado and New
Mexico, is, that invalids are here with
in a day’s ride of their homes, and
members of their family can come up
from the low country and spend a day
or two with them at any time and re
turn, at little cost and with little an
noyance; whereas, in going to the tar
western sanitariums there are difficult
ies which are incident to a long and
wearisome trip of several days in du
ration and accompanied by all the an
noyance of frequent changes of cars,
the heat and dust, and the other ac
companiments of travel.
