need of work and money, the temporary
tramp would simply have to apply to the
road master, who would never be without
employment to give and fifty cents day
to pay for it. The work hunter would not
be long in acquiring enough to pay his way
further or to support himself untilhe found
work in the neighborhood. Farmers and
others in want of help would soon learn to
resort to the road gangs to pick their men,
the volunteers being free to engage them
selves at an time, those under arrest when
their ten days were up. The professionals
would more or less quickly learn to prefer
free labor at high rates to enforced work on
the roads at low rates; in the meantime an
enormous "waste product" would be
utilized, and the highways improved at
small cost to the residents. 1t is safe to
predict that any community adopting such
plan would soon have better roads or
fewer bcggars-possibly both.

WE ALL HAVE OUR SATANs.-Each one of
us has a different Satan. Satan comes to
one man in the form of idleness, and makes
him waste day after day, year after year,
until he has wasted bis whole life doing
nothing. Satan comes to another man as
work, and makes him distroy himself in
the opposite way, wearing out prematurely
his brain and his body. He comes to
another as Christian zeal, and the man
becomes u bigot, full Of fire for the Lord
but the Lord he serves is God of wrath, q
God who cares for trifes, God who prefers
sacrifice to mercy. He comes to another
as charity, but it Isl charity which tolerates
evils and lets it alone, which has no edge
to it, no courage; an indolent charity,
which is not love at all, but only easy good
nature. So he disguises himself as an
angel of light, calling himself patriotism
when he wishes to make nations hate each
other; calling himself Christianity when he
wishes to make men persecute each other
calling himself honesty when he wishes tc
encourage a man in his rude and over
bearing ways; and so on, changing himself
into every virtue and every grace.

In old times the genuine Wesleyan was
in appearance unmistakable He was not
only solemn and severe, as if the weight
of the worlds sins were III the atmosphere,
but he cut his garments in angles, and
made them of sombre hues, that he might
be known of all men. Brave, sturdy
sincere fellows, most of them, who did
good work in the great vineyard, mainly
because they were of the people and
among them. But we see them no more.
1t is with something of surprise that we
find him now with mustache and eyeglass,
wearing a colored shirt, as if he belonged
to boat club, smoking highpriced cigars
occasionally, and not afraid to drink claret
in his camp-meeting lodge; talking about
running over to the springs, wondering how
gold is this morning and regretting that
he did not bring his horse up. Ills wife
is equally astonishing, when think OF hel
in her lavender colored challie, with skirt
en- train, followed to prayer meeting by hel
French maid.-Letter from Bound LAX
Camp Meeting.
Smyrna times., 1875-08-18

VERBAL VIcEs.-Tndulgence in verbal
vice soon encourages corresponding vices in
conduct. Let any one of you come to
talk about any mean or vile practice with
familiar tone, and do you suppose, when
the opportunity occurs for committing the
mean or vile act, he will be as strong
against il as before? 1t is by no means
an unknown thing that men of correct
lives talk themselves into sensuality, crime
and pcrdition. Bad language easily run
into bad deeds. Select any iniquity you
please; suffer yourself to converse in its
dialect, to use its slang, to speak in the
character of one who relishes it, and
need not tell how soon your moral sense
will lower down to its level. Becoming
intimate with it, you lose your horror of
it. TO be too much with bad men and in
, bad places, is not only unwholesome to a
mans morality, but unfavorablc to his
| faith and trust in God. 1t is not every
| man who could live as Lot lived in Sodom,
and then be fit to go out of it under Gods
convey. This obvious principle of ITSELF
furnishes a reason not only for watching
the tongue, but for keeping ourselves as
much as possible out of the company oI
bad associates.-hlctia.. .trcdNd.

My foes are impotent and shy,

And yet OF late often sigh,

FALTERED At THE ALTAR.-The Columbus
(Ga.) Eaqnirer Of the 9th instant says con
Saturday last Mr.. W. and Miss s., young
and handsome, left Auburn for Opelika to
become man and wife. They had no
parental sanction, but love laughs at that
when railroad train is near. Arrived
at their destination, the gentleman pro-
cured license and minister, when the
marriage ceremony began. 1t had cotton
as far as the joining hands, and the words
making them one were almost announced,
when the fair one peremptorily backed out,
and no persuasions could induce her to 60
further. The pair returned to Auburn
unmarried. A wise second thought proba
| bly, influenced the maiden.
