The Earthquake.
MARRIAGE AND BUSINESS,
Christian Advocate.
Marriage affords a sufficient, satis
fying and ennobling end for all busi
ness endeavor. When the end of bus
iness life is self, it debases manhood
and produces a creature of avarice,
sordid and groveling, whose thoughts
are materialized, whose tears of sym
pathy are frozen, whose feelings are
fictitious. The beneficent end of bus
iness life is seen in the change which
the purpose of marriage brings in the
lives of young men. It is sometimes
observable twenty-four hours after
the betrothal, so wonderful is the
Transforming power of a purpose on
life when love lies like a palpitatin
heart in the bosom.
The loss of gallantry among young
men is an injury to business. It is an
ominous departure when they would
rather go in gangs by themselves
than in tho companionship of young
women. The fact is but too apparent
that their morals will not endure the
restraint. Tippling, doubtful conver
sation and action are restrained. Dis
honesty does not often overthrow
young men in business trusts who
spend their leisure hours with virtu
ous women. There is no more assur
ing and beautiful sight than to see
young men and maidens going togeth
er to the house of God. It has been
the means of saving multitudes.
Young men, have your own pew or
sittings in the church, and bring with
on like a man, the woman you res
pect. Feel it a pleasant duty to serve
these conservators of society, wheth
er you may be in love with them or
not. Treat your mothers and sisters
with all the gallantry of the one you
love. It is a grateful and pleasing
thing to any woman to receive this
attention, and it is manly and noble
to give it. Be gallant; it is right, it is
manly, it is a debt you pay and will
pay with interest in the end.
Marriage is related to the reverses
of business life, for business and what
we call prosperity are not now the
same. Adversities are often the best
part of business. A man is not often
011 safe business foundation until
he has been truly crazed by disaster.
Then comes the power of home life.
Then the wife often, like a tug, takes
the whole family out of the breakers
into the broad sea of prosperity. A
man will couie home in financial dis
aster. often sorrowing most as to how
the wife will take it, and when lie gets
there lie will find that she is the better
man of the two, and girds up her
loins, and his, too, and is at it again to
repair the lost fortunes.
The business of life is not so much in
making money as in getting to be
better, and in helping others to be
better—in getting rid of sinful habits,
and in going on to heaven. It is here
that married life is the mightiest force
for good, except good itself. If a man
have a Christian wife her prayers and
entreaties are keeping him from hell.
Her prayer-grip is holding him up
from the pit How she hjis besought
and stormed the very gates of heaven
for him! Oh, let her lead where she
is wisest and best! Let marriage in
stall each in that church which the
apostle says “is in thy house.” Seek
the kingdom of God* and when sor
row conies, which is an inevitable seg
ment of life, man and wife will be
brought into a unity that prosperity
never gives. Very sorely they weep
together over little graves. And if
they must part, the bitterness is mit
igated in the fact that love leaves its
last kiss, and love gives its tribute of
tears at the grave.
A low rumble, as of distant thunder,
and Atlanta trembled to her very
foundations!
The earthquake, the king of terrors,
who has in his time swept a quarter
of a million people to instant death,
blanched millions of cheeks last
night.
Nobody was thinking of such a
thing as an earthquake in Atlanta,
but after the first few quakes the
situation was realized and the alarm
was great. Many people sat up late,
expecting a repettion of the shock,
and a general feeling of uneasiness
prevailed all night.
The earthquake fills an important
g age in history. In 526 he visited
yria and destroyed 250,000 peo
ple.
In 1755 a great earthquake occurred
in Portugal, destroying a portion of
the city of Lisbon. The usual rum
bling sound was followed by a shock
that threw the principal part of the
city in ruins. The sea retired, leaving
the bar dry, and in a minute swept back
with a mighty wave fifty feet high.
Sixty thousand people lost their lives
in five minutes. A part of the city
was permanently engulfed under 600
feet of water.
In 1783 a great earthquake in Cala
bria caused the death of 100,000 per
sons. The most noted earthquake of
this century ’occurred in 1867 in the
kingdom of Naples. It was very vio
lent and fatal.
Atlanta may well consider herself
blessed in that there is no fatal work
of the earthquake to be recorded this
morning. We were well shaken up,
but we were worse scared than hurt.
We have escaped cyclones, so far, but
we have had our earthquake. Let
us not be proud. Atlanta is a city set
upon a hill—built upon a rock thou
sands of feet in thickness. So far as
foundation goes she is solid, but pride
goeth before destruction and a haugh
ty spirit before a fall.—Atlanta Con
stitution.

A Correct Diagnosis.
“I was first a Methodist, then a
Cainpbellifce, then a Baptist, and now
am in search of a denomination
which more nearly accords with the
teachings of God’s word than does
any one of the three.
“If I could find a Baptist church
which would believe and teach that
Christ is to reign a thousand years in
person in Jerusalem, I would join
such a church, but that I cannot pos
sibly hope to find.”
So said an old brother to us the
other day who has been walking the
streets of Richmond some years.
After he told us how “rotten” all
the churches are, and how the idea of
the “personal reign of Christ in Jeru
salem” would correct all existing
wrongs, he asked very complacently:
“What do you think of my case?’’
Of course we told him that it was
the “case” of a first-class crank.—

Constitution Amendments.
The passage of two amendments to
the Constitution of Georgia by two
sessions of the State Legislature
brings the subjects properly before
the people for mtification or rejection.
One of rhese strikes the provision that
all special or local bills must originate
in the House of Representives, and
that such bills must be submited
within fifteen days after the meeting
of the Legislature, and can be con
sidered only when reported by the
committee or by a two-thirds vote.
This requirement has the effect of
clogging the House at the opening of
the session, and cramming the Senate
towards the close. The idea is to ad
just the trouble by allowing local bills
to begin at both ends of the Legisla
ture and receive attention in half the
time. It is a wise provision and
should be adopted.
The other amendment will secure
suitable provision for such Confeder
ate soldiers as were disabled in that
service. The Constitution already
provides artificial limbs, or equiva
lent in money, to all Confederates who
lost limbs in the service, and the
amendment seeks to provide for those
who are disabled but not having ac
tually lost limbs.
The first amendment is in the in
terest of economy, says a Georgia ex
change, and the other is an act of
justice. Both should be ratified.—
