Correspondence OF the HERALD
Auc.rrsTA Ga Nav q 1919

DEAR Sir Augusta, as you well know, is a
beautiful city-the climate is fine, warm, nice and
heathy-the ladies (Heaven protect themD are
gorgeous in the extreme-the gentlemen are high
minded, hot blooded, smart, clever and industrious
rascals and the southern country take il all in all,
is agreat world All this partially attributed per-
haps TO the extensive circulation of the Herald here
and its general reading by all classes, including
portion, of course, who do not pay red cent for
the. paper. This class are justly termed news
suckers" Our city is now overrun with, and the
hotels are crowded full of distinguished ladies', and
gentlemen from the up country attending Conven-
ton OF the Georgia railroad Company.
VIM. II. Platt, Esq, the ambitious young aspirant
OF the law who shot Mr.. Harding in our streets, not
long since, is amusing himself very attentIvely stu
dying law, poetry, romance and various schemes to
obtain his acquiita, and uxuriating with all the de-
licacies prison house affords. Ii is said that Hard
ing's ghost appeared to Plat several times while in
prison. His trial is TO come off in June Justice to
his cause, say |. The thermometer is up to 80, and
rain for several days. Business is dull-no news,
no excitement, no new developments in rascality.
ALI is quiet, but there is notelling when ashona-
bic eruption in high life may take place .on Battle
Row. The times are fraught with desperation and
death. In haste, yours AUGUSTA.

HE WAY TO BEGIN THE woRLp.-As

cautious that he contracts no friendship
with those individuals whose characters
are doubtful, and who would lead him un.

neglect Of his business, and the disappoint.

declare himself the friend or morality and
virtue and be diligent and faithful 10 his
business. He must expect 10 begin
small way, and not venture too much in
the onset Of life. Some Young men think
it too Illuminating when they begin the
world, il they cannot commence largely,
and branch oat conspicuoady. And here
is where they greatly err; and, in the end,
it is often the case that such persons are
led to see their folly, and to confess the er.
runeousness Of iaeir course. The Young
man should also remember that he is 10
occupy station in lie where his influence
to greater Or less degree must be felt
by all those with whom he may come IN
contact. He should, therefore, aim to
have his daily actions correspond with the
Scriptures, that his influence may be exer.

In the dark hours. when the shades Of night
Had gathered gloomy upon the wave,
And the huge pillows snowy-crested light,
But seemed torches pointing the grave,
While the loud surge, which beat against the shore,
Gave uttersnce 10 its hoarse voice in the blast,
The weary mariners still piled the oar,
Though lost the hope, to reach the shore at last.
Yet toiling on, they watched in wild despair
The waters, dashing by in borrid gee,
While their loud shreks, which rent the troubled air,
Were lost amidst the roaring of the sea;
As thus they gazed-ere the fourth watch was past
Each cheek was blauched anew with awful dread
For. amidst the angry bowling of the blast,
They saw shadowy form the waters tread.
As yet it nearer drew, a sofened light
Shone Ger the brow, and round the angelic head
And through the storming of that fearful knight,
They head his voice "'Tis l. be not afraid"
