We have seen or heard of many
extraordinary young men, who new
er ripened, or whose performance in
actual life was not extraordinary.
When we see their air and mein,
when we hear them speak of society
and books, of religion, we admire
their superiority, they seem to throw
contempt on our entire polity and
social state /; theirs is the tone of
youthful giant who Is sent to work
revolutions. But they enter an &C.
tive profession, and the former CO.
lossus shrinks to the common size OF
man. The magic they used was the
ideal tendencies, which always make
the actual ridiculous but the tough
world had it's revenge the moment
they put their horses of the sun to
pillow in its furrow. They found
no example and no companion, and
the heart tainted. What then 2'The
lesson they gave in their first asplr-
atlons is yet trne; and better VAL
or and a purer truth shall one, day
organize their belief. Emerson.

THE new constitution of Georgia,

THE new constitution of Georgia,
which was voted upon last week, was
adopted by about 10000 majority.
Among its provisions IS one making
petty larceny work disfranchisement
This is aimed at the blacks, whose
experience under the slave code made
them careless of property rights in
small things. The provision will no
doubt be greatly abused, and hun
dreds of arrests will be made for the
simple purpose of securing the dis
franchisement. 1t will not be sur
prising if other Southern States fol-
low this example and in this way the
disfranchisement of thousands of
blacks be accomplishment. 1t this
should be the result, then it would be
the duty of Congress to see that the
disfranchised persons should not be
counted in the basis of representation.

THERE is a report that some of the
present local disturbances in Texas
can be traced to the agents of Colonel
Tom Scott, the Southern Pacific Rail-
way subsidist, who, il is alleged,
''sees, or thinks he sees, in a MEXICAN
war, the opportunity of pushing on
his subsidy plans, and bleeding the
public pocket for the benefit of anoth
err monopoly - himself. Evidence
gathered in the neighborhood shows
that not only are efforts made to keep
up disturbances by the agents of Tom
Scott, bat that even newspapers have
been hired to create sentiment Of
hostility between Texas of American
descent and Mexicans residing in
Texas, and to build up out of private
property quarrels apparently reasons
for a declaration of war against
Texas" Such is the story circulating
here. 1t has the appearance of first
class canard, but there may be truth
in it, after all. 1t is also stated that
the Ell Paso county troubles have no
possible connection with the infringe
ment of any international law; that
the question at issue is merely as to
whether certain parties shall be al
lowed to renew the claims to long,
neglected royalty on certain salt pits
in the southwest corner of Texas, and
which people in general have been
allowed to carry salt from for over
sixty years. This seems to be the
more reasonable solution of the cause
of the present disturbances.

THE OLD YEAR.

shadow stood by my bed last night
shadow wan, and white and old ;
With a frozen look on the weird, worn face,
And the hand he laid on mine cold.
In the ghostly presence shook with read
And shrsnk from his touch with curding fear
As gasped, "God save me, thou spectre grim
What sorrowful errand brought thee here %
Then the pale lips moved and a whisper came
Like breath from the nor th wind chill and drear:
"0h. timid mortal, be not afraid
OF the perishiug form Of the dying year!

To be read in the light of the Great White Throne
Hast thou aught TO tell, ere my book is closed
OF labor for Christ that thy hands hath done?

Scattered the precious seed with tears
Who gathered their sheaves in the harvest. time
