Reformed Drunkard's Hymn.

oft our steps have been astray,
Keeling on the drunkard's way,
Spreading round us wo and death,
Muttering curses with each breath,
Robbing wives of daily bread,
Making children hate and dread.
Wives no more shall spend the night
Weeping trembling. till the light,
Starving children vainly plead
Never more for bread they need;
Ne'er again shall tempting wine
Rob of Reasons light divine.
By the truth that shines around,
By the chains that each have bound,
By the wine-cup's maddening flow,
By the walls of heart-wrung wo,
PLEDGE we here as sober men,
Never will we DRINK again.
God of Mercy be though near.
While those vows are spoken here;
Shield the victor guard and guide,
Where the lurking tempters hide;
Man can strive but thou alone
Must the final conquest own.

In this wicked World Of toll and woe,
Ever the weary come and go;
Let us cheer the faltering on the way,
And turn the feet that erring, stray.
In this thoroughfare of Human Life,
Where want and misery are rife,
Let us reach forth the giving hand
To those who by the waysde stand.
There are sunken cheeks, tear-stained & pale
And broken-hearted beauty frail
And weeping Mothers. with grief-bowed head
Mourning loved living ones as " dead

Let goodness and mercy together blend,

Almost in idleness, yet wide awake seeming,
Half way reclining,on warm sand and stone,
Holding fishing rod, in truth was dreaming,
Dreaming and fishing-I was down there alone,
Down ON the sands below, the bridge above

The river that tumbled so gaily along;
CHANGED to see brother, DER the bridge above

He above, down under, we both dreamed our

Parents with a family of daughters

instil false ideas into their minds, and
foster those vain, expensive pleasures.

My 5ong-was more practical, less vivid in color
ing,
More of reality, drawn closer from earth;
Here meath waters deep, lay living and tangible.
That, for. which all things else were nothing
worth;
For pleasures OF memory, hopes, anticlpations,
The grand, or the beautiful e'en kingly array,
All, of bright happiness, were hallucinations;
If from food or its benefits, we were taken away.
Thus swimming in dreamliness, up far above me
On the old bridge looming up gainst the SKY,
Stood my dear brother, his head fall of fphantasy,
Waking to consciousness with breast heaving
sigh;
His dream Of lifes falllces, out of the web OF
/ which,
Deductions of usefulness, of beauty and truth;
| That that hath been shall be-" yet when death
ends our dreaming
We shall beyond the tomb, live a ne'er ending
youth;
was fishing and dreaming, lifes duties and Ia
bors,
Practically joined TO the noble and true
"Walton" like, learning through each law, an(
turning
To make e:en lfe's drudgery seem ever new;
For dreaming alone will ne'er bring contentment
Though " swimming we seem to be, as onward
we move;
The mama of life must be gathered ere night
fail
If on earth weed be happy; true lifc's from
above.
AS days have grown shorter, and time has move
faster,
And time has crept onward and we have grow
old,
We've each learned that duty, stern, iron heelec
duty,
May Joined with the beautiful, be precious as golC
The earthly alone, is fading and feeting
We've learned that tits Heaven true happines
gives,
We both breathe the prayer and strive to live b
r it,
o Lord let us labor for Thee while We live.

A MOTHERS LOyE.-Happy is he
who knows a mothers love. What
is so pure? The patriot expects
fame the friend sympathy, and the
lover pleasure. Even religion, while
she waters her faith with tears. looks
forward 20 the best fruits OF her labors
and her love. But mutual affection
springs from the heart uninvOl<ed bv
the wand of hope unadulterated by
the touch of interest. Its objects are
the weak and wotul. 1t haunts the
cradle of infantile pain, Or hoverS near
the couch OF the faint and the forsaken,
Its sweetest smiles break through the
clouds of misfortune, and its gentlest
tones rise amid the sighs of suffering
and of sorrow, 1t is a limpid and
/ lovely tlow of feeling, which gushes
from the fountain head Of purity, and
courses the heart, through selfish de
signs and sordid passions, immingIina
and unsullied, What is so firm ?
Time and misfortune, penury and per
seoution, hatred and intamy may roI
their dark waves successfully over it
and still it smiles unchanged; or til,
more potent allurements OF fortune
opllence and pride, power and splen
dor may WOO her, and yet she is un
moved; a mother cloves, and love

TIRE ATMENT OF THE AGED.-A little
thoughtful attention, how happy it
makes the old! They have outlived
most of the friends of their early
youth. How lonely their hours OF
ten their partners in life have long
filled silent gravs: often their children
they have followed to the tomb
They stand solitary. bending on their
staff, waiting till the same cali shall
reach them. How often they must
think Of absent lamented faces; ofthe
love which cherished item, and the
tears of sympathy that fell with theirs,
now all gone! Why should not the
young cling around them and comfort
them cheering their gloom with songs
and happy smiles?

PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGIoN.-The re-
ligion of philosophy consists Of right
views Of things, and a prudential
schooling of the passions, True re-
igion consists in right state of the
affections, and a remuneration of self.
In the one case religion may 'play
round the head, but come not near
the heart;" in the other it breaks up
the great deep ofconscience, and pours
all intense light upon the springs OF
motive. Philosophy contains the idea
of intellectual rectitude religion. OF
moral obedience. Philosophy rests
upon development, religion requires
regeneration.-Rer. DR.. Chapia.

THE COUNTY COURT.

the county, made returnable on the first Mon,
day in January 1886, for the purpose O
assembling said Justices at the Courthouse
TO hold an election for the two Associate
Justices of the County Court The weather
however, prevented the holding of the cleo
ton on the day specified in the writ where.
upon, an alias summons was issued, made
returnabe on the 18th inst. Accordingly
on that day, nine of the Justices (only one
being absent,) met at the Courthouse, and
proceeded to the election of two Of their mum

BDIToR CITIZEN. i made short trip to
Lexington, Holmes county, and found that
the citizens of Holmes were, as a general
thing, far ahead of the Madison people in
their preparations for farming. Fences were
all erect, and large fields plowed up, and the
negroes, freedmen I" so.called,") seemed
generally to be cheerfully at work. learned
that the negroes are not sensible always of
the obligation to keep or conform to q con-
tract made. Hence some who had contract
ed with their former slaves for this year, and
expected to plant crops large as in other
years, found themselves during the first
week in January without a negro on their
places. Seine one had persuaded them that
better terms could be bad at other places,
and if the former foreman" believed so and
left, the rest generally left too-sometimes at
night, while the white folks were asleep.
And such uDderhand dealing on the part Of
some, so-called, white men, | think, is very
reprehensible.
10 would be we'll if such dealing were con-
fined to Holmes county. Some of our citi-
1eas would have better prospect to-day, if
il had.
