The Poetry Of the Old Plantation.

What nights were the nights on the
old plantation! The mellow light of the
harvest moon crept through the rustling
leaves of the tail oaks, fell softly upon
the open space beyond, and bathed the
brown old barn in flood of golden glory,
while the songs Of the negroes at the
corn-pile--lusty chorus and plaintive
refrain -shoOk the silence until it broke
upon the air in iar.reaching waves OF
melody.
But alas, all these are gone. The
moon pursues her pathway as sereDely as
of old, but she no longer looks down upon
the scenes that were familiar to your
youth. The old homestead and the barn
are given up to decay, and the songs OF
the negroes have been hushed into silence
by the necessities OF a new dispensation.
The old plantation itself has gone. 1t
has passed away, but the hand of time,
iuexorable and yet tender, has woven
about it the sweet suggestions of poetry
and rOmance-memOrials that neither
death nor decay can Destroy Atlanta

Josh Billings Philosophy.

The uncertainties of life are Just what
make it endurabe.
The devil never was known yet TO de.
sert his friends in tigAk spot, but gets
them into a tighter one, 3nd then does.
l think | had rather trust my faith
than my judgment
As a general thing, the philosophers
OF the world have spent much of their
time eating stewed terrapins, then tell
ing other folks how unhealthy they are.
My friend, if you just give other peo.
pie the same privileges that you claim
for yourself, you will be surprised to see
how smooth and still the old machine
runs.
1t is very easy to explain a defeat,
We charge it over to the the bad luck
account
II there wasn't any fools this world
would be dreadful and desolatc place
to live in; it wouldn't pay to be wise or
even cunning.
If it was against the law to guess at
things, we wouldn't know much.
One of the strongest points in the
devils character is, never to consider
out of his reach,
The more a man knows the less he
doubts; when reason fails he let's faith
lead him.
There is no theory that will work on
the jumping tooth.ache like the dentists
forceps.
Silence is the FOOLS safety, and the
wise mans strength.
We all praise cOntentment, but none
of us practice it.
A loafer is human being, and this is
the most mortiiying thing about him,
Tying to live on pedigree is a good
deal like trying to live on dried apples ;
about the best you can do after you have
filed yourself with the apples Is to take
a drink and sit down and swell.
There is but little bad luck in tn
there is heap of bad mans
agement.
Vanity and jealousy always travel
two very selfish creatures.
Young man, if you want a cheap
obituary notice, let your hair grow out,
drink whisky, and rave to the full moon
and die in the gutter.
If a man has got good article of re-
ligion, he don't have to advertise it to
find a market.
About one-half that even the wiscst
man knows is mere theory.
Young man don't forget this Betting
ten dollars on it won't prove how far the
buIl-Irog can jump.

Heating n City by Steam.

The experiment of heating this city
by steam has proved highly successful.
Three miIe- OF pipe properly covered
with norcpOGucting material laid under
ground through some of the principal
streets ra!iste from central boiler
house, AMI fifty different dwellings and
other edl!ices, including one large public
school building, have been thoroughly
warmed all winter. Dwellings more than
mile distant from the steam generator
are heated as readily as those next door.
Steam meters are provided, so that each
consumer need pay only for what he
consumes. 1t is claimed that the system
can be so developed as to furnish steam
at fifty pound pressure transmitted
through twenty mills of pipe, thus sup.
plyipg power for engines and Inanufacto'
ries, and steam for cooking and laundry
purposes, for extinguishing conhagra-
tions, for clearing streets of ice or snow,
or protecting hydrants from frost. The
rates actually charged TO the consumer
here do not exceed former cost of coal
and wood Lockport Cor. N. Y. Sun.
