The land of my home is 'flitting, flitting from my view, A gale in the sail is sitting, toils the merry crew; Here let my home be on the waters wide, I roam with a proud heart —Maggie’s by my . side. chorus : My own loved Maggie dear, Sitting by my side, Maggie dear, my own love, Sitting by my side. The wind howling o’er the billow from the distant lea, The storm raging ’round my pillow brings no care to me; Roll on ye dark waves o’er the troubled tide, 1 heed not your anger-Maggie’s by my side.

Psalm XIV. I David describeth the corruption of a natural man. 4 He convinceth the wicked by the light of their conscience. 7. He glorieth in the salva tion of God. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. riIHE fool hath said in his heart, There is 1- no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy : there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor because the Lord is his refuge. 7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. The Western & Atlantic railroad forms one of the most important links in the great systems of railroads in the south. From Nashville to Atlan ta, Chattanooga, Augusta, Savannah, Jacksonville, etc., the Nashville, Chat tanooga & St. Louis, and Western & Atlantic roads form absolutely the shortest route between the points named. The Western & Atlantic R. R. is provided with the best of rolling stock and accommodations for its. 'pa trons, and its successful public record is ample evidence of the thoroughly practical methods that mark its man?

At Mclvors, for in stance, where the road crosses a deep, wide ravine, instead of building a bridge or a trestle they have filled it in and made an immense embank ment. This is so thick that it almost appears like a cross ridge of the original formation of the earth, I should judge that it was over one hundred feet high and over two hundred feet wide at the base. So as one or two of the valley near Kennesp w fountain THE “ BATTLE OF MISSIONARY RIDGE ” NUMBER. ATLANTA, CA., MAY 15, 1888. there are immense embankments which are plainly seen with the naked eye from the summit of the mountain. With this solid road-bed and steel rail and rock-ballasted track it is nowonder that the W. & A. engineers and train men have absolute confidence in im munity from accidents when running over it.” If the editor of the Mail and Express of New York thinks he is doing some thing new in printing a verse from the Bible in each issue of that paper he is not posted. The Kennesaw Gazette prints a psalm in each number. I don’t know the Gazette’s idea —it may be to cast seed by the wayside whereby wandering sinners may profit —surely this, no traveler along the Kennesaw who has a heart, but sings its praises for speed, comfort and safe ty —and comfort and safety was what tuned David’s heart.—A Pointer, (N. Y.) Our object is “to cast seed by the wayside,” and also to enable those Christians who hqve not always a Bi ble handy to rejoice in the of the Word when they have a spare minute on the train or in the office to which the Kennesaw Gazette goes. Thank you, Brother Reau, for your kind words. The world is indebted to a Georgian for steam navigation across the Atlan tic. In 1818 Captain Moses Rogers, of Savannah, suggested to the merch ants of that city the idea of building a steamer to run between Savannah and Liverpool. A ship was bought and fitted up,and named the Savannah. In April, 1819, it made the trial trip from New York to Savannah in £even days, and was visited by President Monroe, who was then on a southern tour. In May she sailed for Liver pool, where she arrived in twenty-one days, creating a sensation. The Savan nah was chased a whole day off the coast of Ireland by a British revenue cutter, which mistook her for a ship on fire. After this trip steam navigation across the Atlantic was abandoned for years on account of the expense. The - fact, however, remains that Georgia took the lead in ocean steam navigation.— Atlanta Constitu tion. The Kennesaw Gazette, Atlanta, Ga., tells all about the beauties and advantages of Northern Georgia, with much other good reading matter. Any person contemplating going to Atlanta or vicinity, should send for a copy of the Gazette. It will give much val uable information about the country and of course tell you the best, quick est and safest way to get there.— Free Baptist Herald, Charlestown, W. Va. That editor in writing about the gospel has gotten so used to telling the truth that he irresistibly does so no matter what subject he has in hand. Mr. Allison, superintendent of the Etowah company, owning the great iron and manganese property, on the Etowah river, a few miles above Car tersville, Ga., is rebuilding the old railroad which ran from the W. & A. Railroad Etowah bridge, up the river to the old iron works, destroyed with the road, during the war. ■ —— Archbishop Whately was one day asked if he rose early. He replied that once he did, but he was so proud all the morning and so sleepy all the afternoon that he determined not to do it again.
