With assurances of the highest eon sideration, I am, gentlemen, very truly, Your fellow citizen, C. R. Pringle. 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. ■1 1886 FALL AID WINTER. —OUR STOCK OF— Fall and Winter Suitings, Overcoats And other specialties for the ensuing season wiU be ready for in spection by September 1st.

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.— Richmond Religious Herald.

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.— Bainbridge Democrat.
