W a rren l s Advice to Y oung
I am going to crawl away from the
seething eddies of the political caul-
dron long enough to spin off a few
reels of motherly admonition to the
young youths who are “spiling 11 to
nxoriate. Young man, you have irabi
bed a good mauy errors on the sub¬
ject of courting, and I hereby con-
etitutne myself a court for the cor¬
rection of those errors.
You tliiDk you're only
Dsisy. You're courting Betsy and
Gie-old man and the old woman and
all the brothers and sisters, and per-
haps a half dozen uncles aunts and
aunts and cousins, and if, upon a fuD
vote of the whole family caucus, you
are not unanimously approved,
it is quite likely the wedding won’t be
did. Yonr ion mots and jeu d’esprits,
yottr flue dt louche and the balance of
your flnmmery and tomfoolery may
captivate the girl, but the old man
Thompson wants the attachment to
go into judgement only after it has com¬
menced on substantial grounds. He
requires that you shall be orthodox
on bread and meat question; he wants
yonr income to be bigger than your
outcome, and your morals a good deal
better than your iramorals.
And right, here let me you,
yon’re not going to foci that old fel'
low about yonr circumstances or be¬
havior—you’ll not slip up on tho blind
side of him—by a very large majority,
you won't. In his .particular line lie’s
a better detective than any that ever
hunted Charlie Ross. With an eye
forever skun, lie has tbe happy fac¬
ulty of always dropping around when
lie's least expected and most severely
unwanted. When her little hand ‘lies
lightly, confidingly' in yours and
tender, gushing words of fondness
are about to melt and flow down from
your ardent lips the old man comes
scrambling into the parlor hunting his
pipe. Yon stand at tbe counter, your
glass of gin bnlf-lifted to your lips,
and up steps Thomson asking if the
barkeeper's‘got any aigs to sell' You
are out at the race-track; are voeif-
eronsly displaying the five dollars
you intended to bet ‘on the bob¬
tailed bay,’ when here comes the vet-
ran nuisance, hunting the doctor—
‘brother Jones is wuss. ‘ With four
or five boon companions you are away
up a lonesome, unfrequented alley.
The crackers are already fastened
to the following portion of a desulto¬
ry and immethodica! dog, the match
in being scraped and the fun to begin.
Not a dream of detection invades the
sanctity of the occasion, when snd
denly familiarvoice is heard: ‘Young
men, have you seen anything of my
spotted pig? 1
I fell you emptntically, yo« can't
fool that old circumstance. I know him:
I was familiar with him in the days
agone. and the ‘bright smile haunts
me still,’ every time I have the night¬
mare, You see him setting there in
the amen pew.hymnbook in his hand,
head thrown back as though he were
preparing to be drenched, and lungs
exuding volumes of sacred stentorism
—you threk, when he glances around,
that he's admiring the hark from
thetorobish solemnity of your face,but
he ain’t, ne knows you've got a pis¬
tol in one pocket and a deck of cards
in the other, and don't matter which
church he belongs to, you may rest,
assured he believes in ‘works.’ En •
ough on this branch of the subject
Take my advice, and go slow in
making your selection. I know of no
one thing that onght to be done in a
hurry except catching fleas. If you
jnst can’t help thinking she's a heav¬
enly body,at least he certain to study
that particular branch of astronomy,
Learn her paralaxes and eclipses, the
orbit in which she moves, and when
she rises and sets. But you'd better
not marry an angel. Marry a flat-
footed, practical woman, You might
wed one of the elegant creatures—a
form of matchless symmetry,eyes soft
as the dowu on an angel's wing, and
voice sweet and liquid os the doxology
of a swan, and when you put her to
sewing on a buttoD, she’ll sew it on
heels upward. Don't marry an angel;
angels can’t stuff sausages.
I must close this tirsome letter with
a word of warning. It is a fearful
thing to fall into tbe bands of a living
coquette. She will lift you higher
than Haraan and make you

worse than Adam. The coquette
I'^e the poet, is nut us non fit. She
brio? her coquetry with her when
slie disembarks upon the shove of life
It throbs, like sentieut instinct, in ev-
er J P u ^ ae of t ,er infant a being. In
the very silence of her cradle she
smiles and kicks. Oh! she is indeed a
wonderful creature. Her face, her
hands, her form and her movement
possess a speech and a language. A
thousand times does she tell you that
she loves you when only the features
are vocal and the charming tongue
lies mute; a thousand times does it
grow eloquent with the utternance of
sympathy, resignation or affection-
and yet the curilng lips blush silently
on, the kindling eye speaks and spark-
les in splendor or gloom. A thousand
times docs she play the Angel with
her attractions in order to be able to
play the Devil with you. Don’t court
her—dou.’t. I don't pretend but what
she'll make a real practical woman,(af¬
ter she is biled down),but your court-
be-in vaiu—she won't have you
I know she won't. I’ve tried her my¬
self. Aud then, too, she is such a
cruel calcitratress. She antecedes the
denouement with so much blarney that
when its over you feel as though you
had reached your hand to cull a rose
aud accidentally grabbed a wasp nest. I
verily believe her decision in affaire
d'tcmour is more difficult of foreknow¬
ledge than the verdict of a petit jury
I‘ve a great deal of ad? ice behind yet.

The Sunday School State
tion.
The following address has just been
issued by a committee of the Sunday
School Convention of the State
Georgia, which assembles in Savannah
on the 17th and 18th of May next.
Tha newspapeis throughout the State
are requested to copy the circular:
Iu many counties and districts of
Georgia there are no Sunday schools,
no Sunday school associations. The
Sunday school is for teaching the
people, old aud young, ' 1v word of
God, “which” says Paul, “is able to
save the soul?"
We cannot exaggerate the necessity
of this great work. Where Sunday
schools already exist they should be
more efficient. Where there are none,
they should be organized at once.
County associations should be formed,
and all together swell the numbers
and increase the efficiency of the State
Sunday School Association. This
cannot be done in all sections; lias
not been done by any, by separate
denominational effort; but here in the
providence of God is a broad field for
the united effort of all Christian de.
nominations to do the work of God,
to sow the seed of the Kingdom, that
a great harvest may : be gathered into
the granary of the Lord. Friends,
help! help! for the Lord against tbe
almighty ; let not (lie children perish!
Let one or two, or more, Sunday
school workers in each county not
already organized and occupied call a
meeting of all Sunday schools in the
county and organ ze an association;
let each school contribute to the sup¬
port of the association, go to work,
enlist the aid of all Sunday school and
friends of Sunday schools in the coun¬
ty, and for some worker or workers in
tbe cause of experience, and hold a
convention, elect delegates to the
State association, begin the establish¬
ment of new schools in unoccupied
places, and with the blessiDg of God
His word shall make glad the waste
places and the desert shall blossom as
the rose. Let the organized counties
do wore work, and showing their
faith by their works, they shall reap
of the fruits of their labor.

Insurance companies having agents
in Atlauta,liave instructed those agents
to advance the rate of insurance on
business property from 10 to 100 per
cent—averaging perhaps la per cent,
They have also reduced the amount ol
risk from 810,000 to 82,500 as the lar*
gest risk taken in any one piece of

change, as it interferes slightly with
their business.
Some Facta About Alligators as They
Were in the Good Old Days.
The passenger who was ruunitig
down the big river for the first time
in his life, secured permission to climb
up beside the pilot, a grim old gray-
bnck, w ho never fold a tie.
“Many alligators iu the river?’ 1 in¬
quired the stranger, after a long look
around.
“Not as many now, since they got
to shootin’ them for their hides and
taller," was the reply.
“Used to be lots, eh?“
“I dont want to tell you about ‘cm,
stranger," replied the pilot, sighiug
heavily.
“Why?“
“Cause you'd tliuk I was a-lyin to
you and that's something I never
do. I can cheat at cards, drink whis¬
key or chaw poor terbacker, but I
cannot tell a lie.“
“Then there used to bo ,lots of
them," said the passenger.
“I‘tn inosc afeared to tell you,
mister, but I've counted ‘leven hun¬
dred alligators to the mile from Vicks¬
burg el’ar dowu to New Orleans.
That was years ago, before a shot was
ever fired at 'em. 11
“Well,I don’t doubt it, “ replied the
stranger.
“And I've counted 3,459 of ’em on
one sand bar,“ continued the pilot.
"It looks big to tell, but a government
surveyor was on board, and he check¬
ed them off as I called out.“
“I haven't the least doubt of it,**
said the passenger.
“I,m glad o‘ that, stranger. Some
fellers would think I am a liar, when
I'm telling the solemn truth. This
used to be a paradise for alligators,
and they were so thicK that the wheels
of the boat killed on an average of
thirty to the mile."
“Is that so?''
“True aS gospel, mister 1 I used
to feel sorry for the cussed brutes,
‘fause they'd cry out e'en most like a
human being. Wejkilled lots of ‘cm
as / said, and we hurt a pile more. I
sailed with one captain who alius car¬
ried a thousand bottles of' liniment
to throw over the wounded ones."
“He did?"
“True as you Jive, he did. I don't
‘spect I’ll ever see such another, kind,
Christian man. And the alligators
got to know the Nancy Jane, and to
know Captain Tom, and they’d swim
ol| t an, l ru b their tails agin the boat
an ‘ ,ike cats n,rlook U P au ‘ tr J t0
sra ' le ‘ ‘
“They would?-*
“Solemn truth, stranger! And once
when we grounded on a bar, with
an opposition boat behind, the alliga
tors gathered around, got under her
stern and jumped her clean over the
bar by a grand push! It looks like a
big story, but I never told a lie yet
and I never shall; I wouldn’t tell a lie
for all the money you could pile up
aboard this boat. 1 ’
This was a painful pause, and after
awhile the pilot continued:
Our ingines gin out once, and a
crowd of alligators took a tow line and
hauled us forty-five miles up the
strerm to Vicksburg."
“They did.'*
“And when the news got along the
river that Captain Tom was dead eve¬
ry alligator on the river daubed his
left ear with mud as a badge of mourn¬
in'and lots of'em pined and died.',
The passenger left the pilot-house
with the remark that ha didn't doubt
the statement, and the old man gave
the wheel a turn, and said:
“Thar’s one thing I won’t do for
love nor money, and that's make a liar
of myself. I was brung up under the
teachin' of a good mother, and I’ll
stick to tbe truth, if this boat don't
make a cent. ‘ ‘— Vicksburg Iltrald.
A short text. A preacher is b/est
with two sons. Bright little fellows
they are, too. Now, it is the custom
in that preacher’s family for these lads
to recite every morning a verse
Scripture. The boys were in great
haste to go out on the hill a couple of
mornings ago, when tho father said:
‘Now, boys, recite your verses, then
you can coast.' “I’d rather be a door-
keeper in the house of the Lord than
dwell in the tents of the wicked,'*
repeated the older lad. "So’d I,‘‘
ejaculated the junior, and away he
flew after his sled, and the father did
not remonstrate.

Vol. III. No. 18
Going to sleep in church is no new
tiling. Paul was preaching a long
sermon one night iu Macedonia. A
young man naniod Eutychus was sit¬
ting in the window, went to sleep aud
fell out, and was killed. But Paul
brought him to life. There was no
crookedness about this man, or his
conscience would have been too much
stirred up to permit him to sleep on
that occasion. Neither was lie a clerk
in a wholesale grocery house, nor a
cotton sampler, else he would have
been too lrnrd a case for Paul to work
on. If the eloquence of Paul oould
not keep people awake, preachers of
the present day ought not to be dis¬
couraged.
Some tbirly g years ago Mr. Green,an
amiable Englishman, seeing a rather
shabby old man looking for a seat in

book. The old gentleman, who care¬
fully noted the names in the latter
expressed his thanks warmly at the
close of the services. Tune had effaced
the incident from Mr. Green's recollec¬
tion, when he one day received an inti¬
mation that by the death of a gentle¬
man named Wilkinson lie had become
entitled to 835,000 a year. Mr. Wil¬
kinson was a solitary old man without
relatives.
