The first cost is but little greater than wood,and
the upkeep is next to nothing; the insurance is less;
the house will be cooler in summer and warmer in
winter; the saving in fuel alone would pay the inter
est on the difference in cost.
Our Common Brick are being used in the erection of the fine
new building at the G. N. & I. College. Take a look at them, and
ask the Masons their opinion of the quality.

Th« Cause ©f Many
Sudden Dealbs.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden
deaths are caused
by it—heart dis
ease, pneumonia,
heart failure or
apoplexy are often
the result of kid
ney disease. If
kidney trouble is
f.llowedtoadvance
thekidney-poisen-
ed blood will at
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidney# themselves break
bow* and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
frota a deraageatect «f the kidneys and
better health ia that ergia is obtained
quickest by a proper tereatmeat of the kid-
aey*. 4wentp-Re*t correct* inability to
heldarine and scalding pain in passing it,
tad overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of boiag compelled to go often through
the day, end to get ap maay times during
the aight. The mild and imaicdiatc effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and io

Culver & Kidd, Milledgeville, Ga,
HABIT.
It lias teen justly said: ‘‘Man is a
buudle of habits.” Again. “Habit is
character.” Habits, at first, are Bpider
webs; ttien, threads; then, cords; fi
nally, they are ocean cables,- which
nothing can reak.
Let us see some of the practical ef
fects of habit. First, it simplifies onr
movements, makes them accurate and
lessens fatigue. The lower animals do
things by instinct or automatically, as
it were; but man is born with a ten
dency to do many more tilings than
there is arrangement for in his nerve-
centers. By practice, he forms certain
habits, and so conserves his nervous
and muscular energy. Second, habit
diminishes the conscious attention witli
which certain acts are performed, and
so our mental energy is concerned.
Thus, we see that habit ia the great
fly-wheel of society—its great conserv
ative agent. Habit keeps the fisher
man and deck-hand at sea in winter, it
holds the miner in his darknes and the
country-man to his log-cabin through
months of snow ; it keeps the Esquiino
in his cold zone and the Hottentot in
his torid region. In other words, habit
keeps the different strata of society
separate, and dooms us to fight ont the
battle of life along the lines where Na-,
turo lias placed us.
The above being true, it behooves us
to form correct habits in early life.
From early infancy to maturity we are
forming habits which will influence
our entire after-life. Youth, then, be
ing the impressionable and formidable
period, is the most important period of
life. The Catholics are accredited with
saying; * Give us the first twelve years
of a child’s life, and you may have the
remainder.” The longer I live, the
more thoroughly I am convinced that
all of principle and character you fail
to instill into a child’s nature before he
reaches the age of twelve years, yon
will fail to put there. Statistics show
that out of nine hundred representa
tive persons, eighty-four per cent, pro
fessed convcrtion before reaeding the
age of twenty rears.
Why does one man ascend from ob
scurity aud indigence to fame and
wealth, despite tdl obstacles; while an
other commences life, surrounded by
every advantage that riches and influ
ential friends can bestow, yet lie sinks
into insignificance aud poverty. This
1 difference i* largely caused by ttie dif-
| ierenco in the formation of habits. What
I enabled Henry Clay, the Mill boy of
the Slashes, and Abraham Lincoln, the
rail-splitter to reach degrees of emi
nence to which few in modern times
have been able to attain? It was the
acquisition in youth, of habits of indus
try, honesty, economy, perseverance,
temperance, faithfulness, orderliness,
punctuality, etc. (How I should wish to
write at length upon eacli of these hab
its!) Of course,native ability is indispen
sable; many persons have this but fail in
life, because they have not formed cor
rect habits in youth.
Having been engaged in teaching
several years, I would urge upon parents
the importance of seeing that children
form the habit of study during the first
six years of school-life. Truly there
is no royal road to learning, and I do
not believe that an education was ever
yet “played” into a child's mind, mod
ern systems to the contrary. I know
iom« parents who feel that when their
children enter school, no duty devolves
upon their parents to see that the chil
dren prepare home-lessons and thus
form the habit of study in youth. Oq
tiio other hand, this matter is left en
tirely in the hands of the teacher, and
she is censured if the child do not make
proper progress. It is the duty of pa
rents to co-operate with the teacher in
all measures looking to the good of the
child. I speak from experience when I
say that those children whose parents
co-operate with the teacher as regards
the preparation of home-lessons, par
ents of discipline, etc. not only make
the best progress in school, bnt form
habits of industry which go with them
through life. These may be duties irk
some to parents, yet they are Heaven-
bestowed duties which parents can
not shirk. Would that all parents
could be made to see the importance of
influencing their children to form good
habits!
