THE LONG AGO.

The moonbeams fall 30 cruel cold
Across my path Of trackless snow,
They bear within their mellow rays
No tinted lights oflong ago.
The long ago, that comes to me
Like drifting clouds far out at sen.
The moonbeams fall ross the floor
In lines Of palest. purest white,
Mirrorsd within these depths see
scene long faded from my sight.
The long ago stlll paints the CLEANS
Mirrowed within these stray moonbeams.
Tho long ago has charms for me,
Before which pales all present bliss,
And none may know what memory brings
Within the moonbeams' silent kiss
What treasures of the long ago
Only these beams and may know.
o fairy dream, start-awake,
The mirrored depths see no more,
The moon still shines so cruel cold
Like glittering steel upon the floor,
No more for me these stray moonbeams
Fall DER my path, with soitening CLEANS.
o sweetest dream, why should I wake
To feel the present woe.
o why will not some fairy make
Reality Of long agoi
The saddest time that comes to me
Is waking up from memory.
o let me dream, nor envy give
The bliss find within the pale.
o let no rude hands, eager touch
Draw quickly back the silken vail,
let me dream; reality
Is clasped within my memory.

Economy led to celibacy, and the

AN INTERESTING MEETING.

MEssRs. EDITORS County Line
is the suitable name Of q new church
located on the road leading from Ac-
worth to Dallas near the west line
of Cobb county, and as it was new
church, and the people desired it,
the third quarterly meeting for the
Acworth circuit, was held there
June 9th and 2Sth, and it was
decided success. The congregations
were large and attentive and on Sat.
urday the crowd was so large that
the church, though tolerable roomy,
would not contain them and there
fore they assembled under the ar
Dor, that stands by the church, and
heard Rev, w. f. Cook, p. f.,
preach an interesting sermon from
the book of Habakkuk, Sd chapter
and second verse. After the SER
mon and some refreshments, the
quarterly conference convened in
the church and went through with
the usual important business to the
satisfaction Of all present.
The services at night seemed to
be interesting, for the congregation
was large enough and very atten-
tive. The love feast Sabbath morn-
ing was spiritually interesting and
profitable for the preachers and
members, both male and female
made no hesitation to declare them
selves on the Lords side. After
the love-feast a large and attentive
congregation re-assembled under the
arbor and listened to an excellent
sermon by the p. Il. from the text !:
"Behold the lamb Of God that taketh
away the sin of the world"
After the sermon, the sacrament
of the Lords supper was administer
ed to the satisfaction and comfort of
its many partakers, and after the
administration of the sacrament, the
congregation enjoyed a repast that
had been brought to the church by
the good people of that community.
Among the visitors aud members
Of the quarterly conference present
were Judge Garrison and wife, Mr..
Gregg, Mrs. Collins and the Misses
Fields Of Acworth, also Prof. Holmes
of the Acworth High School, Green
b. Chastain and Mr.. Gaddy Of Ebe-
nezer, and j. w. Hill and William
SewelI Of Big Shanty. Shiloh and
Winnings being the only churches not
represented, There was q special
service held at three o'clock Sabbath
evening for the young folks and at
which Rev. w. T.. Cook preached
to the children a short but interest
ing and profitable sermon.
On account of the threatening
clouds, the meeting closed without
services at night and everybody re-
turned to their homes feeling q
greater desire for the success and
prosperity Of Christ's kingdom in
the world.
Respectfully,

Of the noblest specimens Of woman
hood that the world has ever seen,
have presented the plainest and
most unprepossessing appearance. =
A woman's worth is to be estimated
by the real goodness Of her heart,
the greatness Of her soul, and the
purity and sweetness Of her charac-
ter; and woman with a kindly
disposition, and well balanced mind
and temper, is lovely and attractive,
be her face ever SO plain and her
figure ever so homely she makes
the best of wives, and the truest Of
mothers. She has higher purpose
in living than the beautiful yet vain
supercilious woman, who has no
higher ambition than to hault her
finery on the street, Or to crafty
her inordinate vanity by extracting
fattery and praise from society
whose compliments are as hollow as
they are insincere.
