VIRGINIA OPERA-HoUsE.-The pleas,
entertainments inaugurated at
the Opera-house Monday night, continue to
grow in favor with our amusement-loving
public. MANY church members, ladies
and children nightly find rest and recrea-
ton there, laughing at the oddities of the
comedians, both burnt cork and white,
witnessing Ling Looks wonderful exhibi-
tions, and the dancing of the Rigl sisters.
The Opera-houseis one of the most cosy
and elegant places of entertainment in the

ducing so popular style of amusement as
they have. They act on the motto ''fun
without vulgarity," and deserve success.

we learn will be a candidate before
the Legislature for Secretary OF
State. Gen. Phillips is well and fa-
vorably known throughout North
Georgia, and if elected would make
an excellent officer.--Atlanta Sun.
The above we heartily endorse
and believe the election Of General
Phillips would give entire satisfac-

and qualifications fit him we'll for the
Office. We trust he may be elect
ted. The Legislature could confer
the office upon no more worthy or
able gentleman. - Calhoun Times.
While General Phillips will, no
doubt, highly appreciate the above
dcservedly paid tribute to his worth
and abilities, but his brother, Col.
Charles d. Phillips, and not Gen.
WIN. Phillips, is candidate for the
above named office--a gentleman
who is fully competent to discharge
the duties of that office if elected.

UNDER the head Of "Atlanta Mat

The Atlanta merchants and BUSH

ing the dullest business season
there for years. This is not
strange, for when two men under
take to make a fortune by swapping
jackets with each other, the jackets
will eventually wear out from the
friction created by the transfers
What Atlanta lacks is a first rate
life insurance agency. In a town
where there are so many valuable
lives i. is a little remarkable that
the idea Of life insurance has never
occurred to her most active and
intelligent adventurers. Another
business that might furnish a reas-
onably respectable livelihood to one
or two virtuous and strictly moral
young men of good family, is the
sewing machine business. This latter
business is clean thing and can be
carried on successfully in painted
wagon with big umbrella over the
seat. In fact i. is vastly similar to
the lightningrod business, which
has many and vast destinations. -
We merely allude to these two
branches Of industry on account Of
the dullness Of other lines of bust

WHY MEN DoN'T MARRY.-Rev.
Henry Horgon lectured in Boston
this week on "Why men don't mar.
ry." His headings were these !:
Men don't marry: First, because
they can't get the one they want !;
bachelors have high notions. Sec
ond, because many of them are cow
ards; they dare not face the music
they dodge the question. Third,
because they are skeptical; they
have no faith in woman they think
marriage lottery. Fourth, they
are selfish, they cannot yield for
ansther's good; can't support a family
want the sweets Of life without bear
ing its burdens. Fifth. woman's ex-
travagauce. Here the speaker
showed the true cause for mans hesi-
fancy expensive living and ex-
travagant dress. 1t costs as much
to launch a woman on the sea of
welded life as it would to fit out a
schooner. AZ to sails, cordage,
pennants, streamers, the difference
is 10 favor of the schooner.

Will lager-beer intoxicateY The
Temperance Bureau in Chicago has
issued an address upon this question,
especially to Germans. 1t is adj
mitted that the conduct of those who
get drunk on beer is not always SO
violent as that of the whisky drink
ers, yet they assert that the general
effects are the same. Destitution
and starvation. have been caused as
often by beer as by whisky, while
the malt inebristy creates a stupid
gross in.ensibility TO the rights and
feelings Of others degrading to our
common human nature, besotting
and brutifying man until every finer
domestic feeling is turned to vulgar
ity and cruelty.

THE CHILDREN.
BY THE LATE CHARLES DIcKEl

By THE LATE CHARLES DICEEN6-
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school of the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed;
o the little white arms that encircle
My neck in a lender embrace;
o the smiles that are halOes of Heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone, sit dreaming
Of my childhood tOO.lOvely to last;
OF love that my heart will remember,
While it wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere the world and its wickeduess made me
A partner of sorrow and sin,
When the glory Of God was about me,
And the glory Of gladness within.
O my heart grows weak as a womau's
And the fountains Of feeling will flow,
When L think of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must go:
Of the mountains of sin hanging DER them,
OF the tempest of fate blowing wild;
. there's nothing on earth half so holy
AS the innocent heart of child
They are idols of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes.
o those shouts from home and from Heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild!
And know now how Jesus could Hken
The kingdom Of God to a child.
ask not life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done;
But that life may have just enough shadow
To sleep in the glare of the sun
l would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back TO myself
All seraph may pray for sinner,
But a sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bended,
have banished the rule and the rod,
1 have taught them the goodness of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness of God.
My heart is a dungeon Of darkness
Where shut them for breaking rule;
NV power is sufficient correction;
My love is the law Of the school.
shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more;
All how shall sigh for the dear ones,
That meet me each morn at the door
i shall miss the "'gOOd-nights" and the kisses
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
I shall miss them at morn and at even
The song in the school and the street;
shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tramp Of their delicate feet
When the lessons are all ended,
And Death says, % The school is dismissed"
May the little ones gather around me
To bid me goodnight and be kissed.

Our Obligations to Hopeful Men.

Hope is charming trait in men.
There is something very admirable in
conscientiousness in its depths in its
endurance in the acceptance of unwel
come labor and duty which it carries
with it. There is also in the stringency
of fear much that is to be admired. 1t
carries with it great activity and intense
provocation. But, after all, commend
me to the sW eetness and the inspiration
of hope. Men who have this faculty
largely developed, though they have
but little education, are children of the
daylight. They are perpetually alive
to that which is sweetest and best in
life. 1t is true that hope itself has its
own peculiar dangers. The whole gen
Grafton of what are called schemers are
children of hope. They are not bal
anced by suitable caution, reflection,
and development. Schemers are PiO-
neers of success. We always laugh at
them, and never recognize how much
we are under obligation to them. If
you are starting in an unknown channel,
you are not glad of any mishap to him
that goes ahead of you; but if he run
upon a sandbank he is a buoy for you,
and you do not go there and if another
strike some obstacle on the other side,
you take note of him, and avoid that
obstacle. You profit by the misfortunes
of the two men, and go between them.
You take the channel which they both
meant to take, but missed. The men
who go ahead concoct new schemes,
seeking something better, laying the
foundation for valuable results, though
they do not reap them. To be sure, the
/ inventor, in his day, received nothing
from his invention; but then, that in
vention bore fruit in another mans
hand, little later. 1t is the function.
then, of schemers to go ahead to be
pioneers : to find new paths to break
up the wilderness ; to prepare the way
for those who come after them. We
speak of them slightingly; we crown
their memories with contempt, almost
we say of them, ''Well, they had nc
ballast; they never succeeded. If sue,
cess means to freight ones own pockets,
they did not succeed but if a man has
succeeded whose life has been a benefit
to his fellow-men, whether it has bene,
fitted him personally or not, then they
/ did succeed.-H W. Beecher.
