INEXPENSIVE HAPPINESS.

The most perfect home | ever saw
was in little house into the sweet
incense Of whose fires went nocostly
things. A thousand dollars served
for years living Of father, mother
and three children. But the mother
was the creator Of a home her re-
lation with her children was the most
beautiful | have ever seen; even a
dull and common place man was lift
ed up and enabled to do good work
for souls by the atmosphere which
this woman created; every inmate
of her house involuntarily looked in>
to her face for the keynote of the
day; and it always rang clear
From tho rose bud Or clover,leaf
which, in spite Of her hard house
work, she always found time to put
by our. plates at breakfast, down to
the story she had on hand to be
read in the evening, there was no
intermission of her influence. She
has always been and always will be
my ideal Of mother, wife, homes
maker. If to her quick brain, low
ing heart and exquisite face had
been added the appliances Of wealth
and the engagements OF wider cul-
ture, hers would have been the idea
home. Az it was, It was The best
have ever seen. HELEN HUNT.

LIsPINa,

Somehow or other we have always
liked people who lisped. There's a
charm about the soft, lisping ariicu>
lation, that is simply Irresistible
Occasionally you will find one who
lisps SO badly that it is more amusing
than sweet. For instance a country
fellow who lisped, having bought
some pigs, asked a neighbor for the
use Of q pen for a few days. Said
he
4 have juth been purchathing
thome thwine--two ,thowth and
pigth. | want to put them in your
pen till | can get place for them.
"Two thousand pigs Y exclaimed
the astonished neigilbor, "why my
pep,v..ssit hardly hold dozen"
"You don't underthand me, Mr..
Bent. don't thay two thonthand
pigth, bat two thowth and pigti .
II hear you" said Mr.. Ben..-
1.-Two thousand pigs. Why you
must be crazy"
Il tell you again exclaimed the
man, angrily. Il mean NOT two
thowthand pigth, but two thowih
and two pigih.p
"Oh, that il wha. you mean, oh !
Well, the pen is at your service.

CAN A GREAT LAWYER MAKE A
GOOD JUDGED
From the Richmond State Journal. ]

!
From the Richmond State Journal
There may be some doubt wheth
era great lawyer would invariably
make good Judge. A man of gem
Jus OR profound logician would
seem to be in measure untitled to
weigh patiently and to look Impair
TALLY upon all sides of every case
presented Genius is ever impa-
tient and willful, and it is thought to
be allied to insanity. Great elo-
quence and sound judgment in
worldly matters are not often found
united in the same mind. Datiel
Webster was a great logician, but,
it is said, knew very little law, ex-
cept upon general principles. His
mind was so-iarge that the common
concerns of life appeared too petty
to secure his attention. Hence he
cared nothing for property, and had
no method in his studies.
Now, a good judge should be care
ful and methodical, and have suf
ficient sympathy with humanity to
be interested in what comes before
him--he should be man, and
not an intellectual abstraction. He
should take fatherly notice of the
contestants before him, as a parent
in the disputes of his children
Such man ought not to be proud
and naughty, nor quick in taking
sides. The fiery orator like Choate,
would not make good judge--nor
the one super Astounding in sympa-
thy or detestation of wrong, like Pat
rick Henry. The position requires
undoubted integrity, ell-halanced
mind, without bias, slow to anger
or Jealous resentments. Nearly all
great men who achieve large dis
tinction at the bar have some mark
ed faults especially those growing
out Of combativeness Considering
all the qualities needed for the high |
office of Chief Justice, we doubt
whether it is so easy matter to
make proper selection as many
imagine. If left to the Bar of the
United States, we don't believe they
would ever come 10 an agreement.

rHn rRounLns OF raE Law.

The Griffin News, speaking Of the
food Of bills amending the code,
says: The code Of Georgia is a fruit
full source oflcgislation, and from the
amount of tinkering done on it each
session,>it would seem that our ne,
cessities are great and our interests
very changeable. The most expert
and learned attorney in the country
cannot keep up with the various
changes, and it is impossible for
common people to have any idea Of
what the laws are, although they are
presumed to know them, and held
responsible for ignorance Of their
provisions.

VALUE OF MoNEY-usuRY
LAWS.

Col S. Fouche, new editor of the
Rome Commercial, puts the ques-
ton of the value of money in it's true
light;
Laws to limit the price paid for
the use of money are called usury
laws. 1t was long considered
crime to take for this use more than
the law allowed Yet, like every
thing else, money is worth more to
one man than another, more at one
time than another, and more at one
place than at another. The law,
however, undertook to. affix one
unvarying rate to be paid by every
person, at all times and every where
for its use. 1t brands with the re-
proachful name of usurer the man
who asks or accepts more than the
price fixed by itself The owners of
any other species Of property may
affix their own price for its use. Ii
the parties be of sound mind, able to
contract, willing to contract and
actually do contract, the law may be
invoked to enforce the contract
according to the intention of the par
ties.
But in contracts for the use Of
money it takes sides with the bor-
rover against the lender, and tempts
him to dishonor and dishonesty with
the money of the man who trusts him.
1t is certain that such laws by
diminishing the amount of money
upon loan, and by increasing the
risk to the lender raise the price Of
money upon all honest borrowers;
and are never invoked by any man
until he has got bis own consentto be-
come a rogue. A short time ago the
Legislature Of this State made a
start in the right direction, by
giving somewhat larger freedom
Of trade in the matter of money, and
already some friend Of money bor-
rowers, an enemy of money owners,
1 wishes to go back to the old restric-
tive.policy which has always been as
mischievous and futile as it is fool
ish.
Money always abounds most, other
things being equal, where there il
greatest freedom in it's use. Every
impeachment or restriction in its free
use repels it. Laws but aggravate
the evil at which they pretend 70
strike; that present the govern
ment as the guardian Of one class
and the enemy of another, to which
no honest man ever appeals; that
invite to dishonor, and offer pre-.
MUM upon dishonesty, ought to be
swept from the statute books OF every
christian State.

AN INDIAN STORY.

There is an Eastern story, which
has its version in many languages,
ofa beautiful damsel to whom gen.
ius Of surprising power desired to
give y talisman. He enjoined her
to take herself across field of stand
ing corn she was to pluck the tall
est and largest ear she could find,
but she was to gather it as she went
forward and ne> er pause in her path,
or to step backward in search Of her
object. In proportion to the size
and richness OF the ear. so would be
its power as n talisman. She went
out upon her quest says the legend,
and entered upon the field Many q
tall stalk of surprising excellence
met her glance, but she still walked
onward, expecting always to find
one more excellent still. Atlast she
reached portion of the field where
the crops were thinner and the ears
were stuntcd. She regretted the
tall and graceful stalk she had left
behind, but disdained to pick those
which fell so far below what her
ideas were ola perfect ear, But
alas I! the stems grew more ragged
and more scanty as she trod onward;
on the margin of the field they were
aud when she had accom-
plished her walk through the wav-
ing grain, she emerged on the
other side without having gathered
any ear whatever. The genius re.
buked her,for her folly, but We are
not told that he gave her an oppor
tunity of retrieving her error. We
may apply this mystic little Indian
fable to the realities of daily life.
