A vagrant Philosopher.

in the hip pocket Of an old vagrant
pulled i'm by the police the other night
was memorandum book full of his own
philosophy is good enough to be preserv-
ed. His first paragraph reads:
drinking bad whiskey because it is Of
fered Tree is like getting in the way OF
bullets purchased by an enemy"
A second reads:
Honesty is the best policy but some
folks are satisfied with second best. 1t
is hard to be honest on an empty stOm-
ach." ao
A third runs:
"a dry plank under rain-root shed is
better than a feather bed in Jail, and one
isn't annoyed by the jailer bringing i'll a
square breakfast"
A fourth says:
sPay as yougo If you haven't any
thing to pay with, don't 60. If you are
forced to 90. record every Indebtedness
and let your heirs settle the bills"
The fifth explains:
ave should have charity for all. When
the winter winds blow cold and drear we
vags should pity the poor fellows in In
dia who are having red hot weather"

as follows:
"Then you pick up an apple-core do

POWDER SPRINGS POINTS.

EDITORS JoURNAL:-You will please allow
me through your valuable paper, to express the
thanks Of our humble citizens to Judge Geo. N
Lester for the able manner in which he has, so
far, discharged the duties ofthe high and honor
able office, TO which he has been called.
Governor Coqutt did honor 10 himself and
credit to the State. in this appointment The
people are satisfied that the Judge ofBIus Ridge
Circuit will deal out to every man even handed
Justice, alike to the rich and to the poor. 1 had
grand jury the first week of Cobb Superior
Court, and was forcibly struck with his earnest
words, and his ardent desire to have the laws
duly and impartially executed. This charge
was both interesting and instructive; and, /
would advise the people generally, especially
the colorsd folks, Qor they are most in need of
such Instruction. the first opportunity they
have Of hearing Judge Lester expound the
law, to stop ordinary business, even to the lay
ing down Of the pow and the hoe, for the time
being, and avail themselves of such opportun-
ity. twill be worth more 10 them, a thousand
fold than all the circuses and political dema-
gogues that ever has or ever will pass through
the country. The former is truth, the latter
ito opposite. Try this for the next four years
and see if you and the country are not benefit
ed
Messrs. Editors, l will add by way of supple
ment, that we have at Powder Springs one of
the best literary schools in Georgia. Prof C..
Holmes Clark, principal, and Miss Fannie But
ner assistant. Since the commencement of this
school, our little village has received new life
and vigor, not only in the way of selling goods
and permanent improvements, but in the adii-
ton Of several good citizens
Politics has been, 10 very great degree,
swept from the minds ofour people, and they are
now occupied by greater interest that Of agri-
culture and education.
Respectfully yours,
a. G. MCINTOSH.

To these classes belong the exclusive author
ship of Anonymous Letters We have always
found it exceedingly difficult to locate the ex-

character. They cannot properly be called
philosophical, for purporing to convey precau-

very existence the absence of the first elements
of intelligence nor charitable, because anony-

the legitimate offspring of bare and malignant
hearts, and such progeny as the vilest and

spotless virtue is assailed by clinging coward
