And I- arore and flung the casement wide that I might breathe The dewy freshness nf the morning air .that wan derer] through the Bower bvds underneath; And while, like one who dreams, I gazed afar, A young lark, with a merry burrt <»f song, Rose and soaredoff to where the clouds where bright ening. And as I looked, I said, “This world, Oh! it is beau tiful And 1 alone am all a-l fanlt." These words I said, And, with my heart overflowing with new love For ail humanity, I there resol vol On -wondrous things of good that I would do. “ 'Tjs all my fault.’’ 1 said. “ if life goes -tfroiig— ’Tis all my fault and I will change.’’ I went about !ho duties of the day, with all these resolutions New and good before mo.

But this I know, on hijih Our God will treasure every broken reed. Life in Hio Sea. Brimful of life at its surface, the sea wvuld be encumbered if that prodigious power of production was not kept some what in chock by the antagonistic power of destruction. Only imagine that every herring has from 50,000 to 70,000 eggs 1 If every egg was to produce a herring, and every herring 50,000 I more, were there not an enormous* destruction going on, the-ocean would very soon be solidified and putrified. The great cetacea drive them toward the shores, ever and anon diving into their ranks and swallowing up whole shoal. The whiting ent their fry ; cod again de vour the whiting. Yet, even here, the peril of the sea, an excess of fecundity, shows itself in a still more terrible shape. The cod has up to 9,000,000 of eggs, and this creature, of such for midable powers of maternity, has nine months of love out of twelve. No won der that the fishery of this productive fish hrs created town s and colonies. But even then, what would the power of man bo, opposed’to such fecundity? He is assist.,-d by others, among which the sturgeon takes chief rank. Then, again, the sturgeon itself is a very fecund fish. This dovourer of cod has itself 1,- 500,000 eggs. Another great de vourer is not proportionately repro ductive, and that is the shark. Swinging. Swinging’ £as its’ dangers, which should be reasonably guarded against. An item has recently appeared in the papers speaking of an English giri 10 years of age bringing on peritonitis—in other words, inflammation of the bowels —-by incessant swinging, the movement of the legs and body inducing the injury which brought on death. Only Hie day before reading this item wo were told of a lady who was severely afflicted with a spinal disease induced bv lieing thrown from a hammock. Both ham mocks and swings should net only be securely put up but carefully examined from time to time by the older heads. Then if is quite as important that the frolics of the children in the swing or hammock are in a measure superintended by some one having judgment enough to caution the young folks against either carelessness or excess.—/k - .

The Ashmolean Museum, at Oxford, contains one of the oldest monuments of civilization iu the world, if, indeed, it is not the very oldest. This isthe lintel stone of a tomb which formed the last resting place of an officer who lived’ in'the time of King Sent, of the second dynasty, whose date is placed by M. Ml'ariette more than six thousand years ago.. The stone is covered width that dclifeafe and finished sculpture which distinguished the early periods of Egyptian Irish>ry, and was immeasurably superior to the stiff and conventional art of the latter ages of Egyjit which we are accustomed to see in our European museums. But it is also covered with something more precious Still than sculpture, with hiero glyphics which shows that even at that remote Egyptian writing v/as a complete and finished art. with longages of previ ous development lying behind it. The hieroglyphic characters are already used, not only pictorially and i<leographicaHy, but. also to express syllables and alpha betic letters, the naipe of the King, for instance, being spelled alphabetic-ally.. In the hands of the Egyptian scribes, however, Egyptian writing never macle ' any further progress. With the fall c-f I what is callad the Old Empire (about B, I <*. 3500) the freshness and expansive force of the people passed away, Egyp tian life and thought became fossilized, and through the long series of centuries that followed Egypt resembled one of its own mummies, faithfully preserving the form and features of the'past age, and of a life which had ceased so beat in its veins. Until the introduction of Chris tianity the only change undergone by Egyptian writers was the invention r running hand, which in its earlier and simpler form is called hieratic, and in its later form domotic.

The Secret of Low Prices. Last week we spoke of Hagans, 100 Whitehall street, and the almost countless variety of fancy groceries, confectionaries, I toys, etc., etc. that were there. But if we could tell you further how cheap he is sailing them you would be astonished sure enough. He is determinedto.dispose of|ihe entire stock in quick time, and hence sells down to the smallest margin. Buying his goods as cheaply as anybody, and saving in rents, as wc know, he is able to sell at figures that many others can not touch without loss. Go and see if we are not eorret-f. A Protest. That which we complain of is that both the facts of human nature and the prin ciples of education are frequently set at naught in schools. The object of edu cation should be to train living intelli gence into efficiency, to teach the chil dren to think, and to use books and facts and principles as means of continual education, not during school years only, but throughout life. In practice it is too frequently assumed that children are only so much raw material to be wrought into shape, so many receptacles for in formation, and the work of the teacher is too often nothing more than an attempt to fill thorn with the customary informa tion. If this assumi>tion were true, that which we have called the school master method which would be good enough for all purposes; ns it is not true, as children are human beings, varying in moral and intellectual capacities and in disposition as well, that method is intoleiably bad and mischievous. There are, two radical errors which underlie and produce most of the clifii culty. It is commonly assumed that the object of the attendance upon school is to acquire information; that the valuable fruits of education are the things learned in school. This is the first error, and the second is like unto it: it is assumed practical that what is a profitable amount nf acquirement for one child is equally ! profitable for another. i Acting upon these two ilm efforts of too many schools are direct ed chiefly—sometijnes almost exclusively —to the work of compelling children to acquire information from text-books. As many things are taught as may be. and a. vast mass of unnecessary details is fre quently set down for Hie child to learn, a cast-iron “course” is marked out, and the children are set the same task, with out regard to difference in their several capacities and in their several needs. Commonly the “course” embraces too many subjects and too many details of information with respect to each. The teaching becomes hurried and meebau ical and nearly profitless. The children are treated after the manner of meal bags, which must be filled, the bag being regarded as a thing of no importance, ex cept as a receptacle for the meal. The resulting process is what is commonly called cramming. Professor Huxley has aptly calledit a lesson-bibbing, and he has pointed out some.of flic disastrous results which follow a process that ex hausts the intellectual and physical pow ers in childhood to no good purpose. ' Mr. M. E. Maher. A citv cotemyorary speaks thus of this gentleman, who undoubtedly ma-lp one of the best officials Atlanta ever had: Mr. Maher lias had experience in the Council, and. besides, he is one of the shrewdest men that ever occupied the position, and he un derstands the wants of the city, and will be fearless in advocating them. Witness the stand he. took while a member of Council, in favor of cheap gas. His efforts brought about a reform and to him belongs the credit. He should be elected, and we have no doubt but wh.it he will be. Citizens of Atlanta 1 Turn out. on Wed nesday and not only vote, but .use your in fluence to defeat the man whom the people of Georgia regard as one of the men who oppressed het- in the dark days of reecon strut tion. A Good Old Man. “Ton sec, my children,” he said, as a little group huddled around him, “ there is no habit that you can not rid yourself of if you are resolved. Now, in j&y early youth I was a sailor, and. contracted the popular habit of swearing at every thing and nothing. Without provocation I would rattle off a string of oaths and violate the commandment a hundred times a day. When I left the sea my mother’s early teaching returned to me, and I mentally resolved that I would never swear again. That was forty years ago. and I have never violated the prom ise I made myself. Some of you have little habits which you ean easily rid yourself of; promise me now, my Jewr ies. that you will call up your worst habit and drop it to-night.” , The promises were readily given, and then camo calls for a story. It was bins habit to supplement his little lecture by stories. “Tell us a story of the sea,” lisped a little voice. The old man smiled, and picked up a conch from the hearth. “Well, little beauty, I will let the shell tell it.” He placed it to his car, closed his eyes, aud said: “Hark! I hear the sea. It is the Mediteranean, and before me is a ship plunging upon the stormy waves. The crow are huddled about in terror, and ths vessel plunges along in the lightning rent, with no hand at the helm. Bm there is one form that trembles not. It stands at the bow with upturned face, gazing into the heavens.” “Oh,, that’s Paul, I know,” exclaimed a childish voice. * ‘ Right again, my child. Inspired by a.diiine faith, he stands unmoved in the night: neither fear nor pain can move him. He is a true man, and—•” The old man paused; the shell dropped from his hand, and a look of startled in quiry came over his face. He sprang tc his feet and danced a cancan iu the room, he called on bis patron saint and swore a string of oaths thirteen feet long as he rent the air with discordant shrieks; the women screamed; the children cried; the police came, and four neighbors at last bore him to the floor and sat upon him, while another removed with a pair coinpasses a bug from his ear. One little cockroach, hid in a shell, had upset the resolutions of forty years’ standing. VOjoctions to Marriage. In our opinion, girls are just as will ing to give up their extravagance in dress as young men are—that is, when , It- is necessaiy so to do. The fact that ai- n are so unwilling to relinquish their net vices and luxuries is to be ascribed .nncJi of the falling-off of matrimony. Marriage without adequatemeansof sup port is-a blunder that is almost a crime ; butnogirl madeof ordinary stuff will hesi tate to shore the trials and sacrifices of the man she loves, provided he has that cpmpetence, however modest. The thou ands of happy, smiling homea, whore true hive constantly abides, in spite of the slenderness of the family income, sufficiently attest the readiness >f the average woman to surrender the baubles of wealth and fashion in order to become a devoted wife and mother. If the opposite sex were uniformly ani mated by a similar spirit, we venture to assert that the number of maids and bachelors would rapidly diminish. The truth is, there is too much love of dress and pretentious display in both sexes, aud woman should not’ bear the blame alone. Citizens of Atlanta! Turn out on eu- ■ nesday and not only vote, but use your in- , fluence to defeat the man whom the people j of Georgia regard as one of the men who ; oppressed her in the dark days of recon struction. I THE LEGISLATURE. [Solidtided from 2nd Pag* I NINETEENTH HAT. Just as the hosts of candidates were thinned out and there appeared some .I chance for the Legislators to endure life, there came the cold snap, and the most of them wish they were at home. Thty had a cold day yesterday, no heat being turned on the steam pipes To-day, notwithstanding the heat is on, the General Assembly is shivering with eokl. It is the worst “ freeze out,” ever known, and mem bers are going home sick by the dozen. Who is to blame in this matter? Some ; body, it is evident, has not properly atten : ded to the heating apparatus of the Shite I House. In joint session Hon. Chas. I> Hudson, of Schley, was re elected Solicitor-General from the Southwestern circuit without op ; position. In the Western circuit Ex State 1 Senator M. G. Boyd opposed Hon. A. L. Mitchell • for Solicitor-General, but he received only twenty-two votes while Mitchell scored one •hundred and fifty-one. Hon. Geo. F. Pierce, of Sparta, was elec- , ted to-day to fill the vacancy in the North ern circuit caused by resignation of Solici tor-General Reese. Mr. Pierce had already . been electel for the full term. Georgia I h is no abler or more eloquent young states man than this distinguished gentleman. 1 esferday afternoon the joint session elected J. H„Guerry Solicitor of the Pa tanta circuit, J. L Wright, of Floyd, So licitor of the Rome circuit, and R. G. Mitch ell Solicitor of the Southern ciacuit. J. Watt, Harris, Esq., who was elected to the full term for Solicitor General of the Cherokee circuit, has also been elected to fill the vacancy caused by resignation of Senator A T. Hackett. Mr. Harris is a popular young lawyer, and married Miss Lowe, an Atlanta belie, some years ago. ' He is a law partner of Hon. T. W. Milner, of the House of Repreientatives. Ex- State Senators were not successful as can- I didates for Solicitor General this year , Freeman aud Bird were badly defeated, 1 but Hon. T. W. Grimeq of Columbus, the handsomest and most talented of the triq, won the prize by a most gallant fight The' ladies were all for him, and heartily ap plauded his election. Miss Annie Mays, sister of Hon. S. War- ■ ren Mays, of Augusta, is one of the most , nrilliant society ladies in the House gal t lery. and is always surrounded .by a throng i of distinguished Legislators. Miss Mays has a bright future before her on the lyric -Wg-- should she yield to the expressed de sire that calls her in that direction. TWENTIETH BAT. ; Another cold, dull day in the General!
