Salutati0ns.
TCOrnhill Magazine.1

Naturally we turn to the East for the
origin of most of our customs, and l can
not do better, think, than begin with
the salutations of those Eastern nations
Of whose customs we have the earliest
knowledge. A large, if not the largest,
class of salutations can be traced to in
teroession. The deeply religious charac-
ter of the Orientals showed itself special
ly in their salutations. The Hebrew
Word barak, "to bless" had all the
meanings of saluting, welcoming and
bidding adieu, the person spoken to be-
ing in each case commended to God.
"Blessed he thou of the Lord;" "The
Lord be with thee;;" "And Jacob blessed
Pharaoh and went out from before him."
are instances which illustrate the usage
of the word.
They are paralleled by the Arabian.
"God grant thee His favors," "May God
strengthen your morning." "May your
morning be good;" by the Persian,
81 make prayers for thy greatness" and
by the Ottoman, "Be under the guard
Of God" "My prayers are for thee, !"
Forget me not in thy prayers" And
we can not be surprised that this kind of
salutation is found to exist, in some
shape or other, among all national greet
ings Our religion has come from the
East; and some of their religious salu-
tions still survive; as, for example, in
the Esthonian "God guide you," the
"Adieu" of the French, the "Go with
God Senor," of Spain, and our "God
be with ye," corrupted into Goodbye" I"
And here il may be remarked, in pass
ing, that the obviously religious phrases
have been preserved by nations in a
sense less distincly religious than the
English, while they have lost or changed
among ourselves.
Has the closer intimacy of the conti-
nent with Roman Catholicism produced
an effect upon outward expression, or is
the change due to our greater reverence
| for sacred names-a reverence often, of
course, merely Pharisaic, but which has
led us, as it led the later Hebrews, to
shrink from uttering the actual name of
the Deity, and either to corrupt it as in
"Good-by," or eliminate it as in "Mercy
me-" "Save you, sir" while the French
are much more lavish with their "Mon
Dieu," and the Germans with their
"Mein Gott?' If these suggestions will
not hold, perhaps we may find more
rational solution in the universal tend
ency of the West, and especially of the
English, toward brevity; which tendency
would find illustration in our Good
day." in the German "Guten Tag" in
the Swedish "God dag" and in the
French "Bonjour."

A Georgia Farmers Success.
IAmericus lGa) Recort1erj

We know man, now large farmer,
and living near Americas, whose record
reads like romance. He began life since
the war, poor young man, as a farm
hand, working for wages. He has in.
herited nothing, and has been engaged
in no business except farming. He, this
year, will make ninety bales of cotton,
has not brought single bale to market,
does not propose to sell bale before
spring, and he is able to hold it. He
owns one of the best plantationsin South
west Georgia, and it is his Toast that he
buys nothing upon which to feed man or
beast, except sugar and coffee, but, on
the contrary, has something to sell of
almost any product Of Southern soil.
Last year he made sixteen hundred gal
Ions Of syrup, and this year has sold
over two hundred pounds Of butter. In
the face of such facts how can it be said
tnat farming can't be made to pays
