Pulaski Marcia Centennial
Souvenir.

From Ludden & Bates Southern
Music House, Savannah, Ga, we
receive a copy of Pulaski March,
written by Prof. Henry Shoeller, of
Dalton, Ga, specially for the Sa
vannah Centennial, October, 9th,
1879, and played by the U. S. N
fantry Band at the laying of the
Jasper Monument corner stone -
The piece is elegantly gotten up
and reflects great credit on the en-
terprising publishers. Its superb
military title page with Autograph
of the magnificent Pulaski monu-
ment, of which General Lafayette
laid the corner stone in. 1923, is
worthy of framing and will make a
tasteful souvenir of this grand
Southern Centennial. The March is
brilliant and inspiring, but-not diff
cult. Bands are playing it general
ly and it is voted genuine success.

PETTY CARES.
BY HATTIE E. s. oREssY.

IT'S not the mighty cataract,
That swells and surges for a day,
Then ceases with its fury spent,
That wears the hinty rock away.
IT'S not the griefs which TEN oest-ike
Sweep through the soulwith mighty strength
Then by Gods mercy are assuaged,
That leaves their lines in greatest length
But constant dropping wearing stone,
Howe'er minute the drops may be,
And the petty cares and griefs of life
Wear upon our minds continually.
Yet there is no escape from them;
They follow US both night and day,
Making such havoc of our lives
As moth worms make upon their prey.
No face but sometime wears their mark,
No form but bows beneath their weight,
No eye but dims with tears they start,
Alike they haunt both small and great.
The monarch on his dazzling throne,
The peasant in his lowly cot.
Must each his separate burden bear,
Neither troubled at the others lot.
But thoagh we are beset with cares,
Let's look for comfort from above;
Clouds will not always darken down,
For heaven is fair and God is love.
Pittsheld, Mass.

Children in the Penitentiary

Knoxville Tribune: Ii Governor
Blackburn has pardoned children
out of the penitentiary he has done
right. 1t is a disgrace to our hu
m anity to keep children in such an
institution. Every State ought to
have a House of correction, in
which boys and girls who are gull
ty of crime may be confined, and
where an honest effort may be made
to elevate and reform them, instead
of suhjecting them to summary
degradation. If only one out of
twenty of them is saved, it is worth
all the outlay to run Hodse of
Correction. But if the House of
Correction is not established, and
very young persons are sent to the
penitentiarIes, we trust that other
Governors may be found, who, like
Governor Blackburn, will turn them
out OF the penitentiary, unless the
reasons for keeping them there are
perfectly clear,

the nomination of Hendricks and

precedence of these two gentlemen,

Should these distinguished Dem
ocrats be nomin ated, it is a matter
for future discussion whether the
ticket shall read Potter and Hen
bricks, or Hendricks and Potter.
We are now simply engaged in get
ting out raw material. If the States
are to be considered in the order of
their Importance. the Potter's claims
seem TO surpass those of Hendricks;
if the nominations go by rules of
personal promotion, then Hendricks
marches to the front. Potter's po-
litical achievements are the latest,
but Hendricks has the longest
standing as a patriotic Democrat.
Potter has been champion of the
Democrats in attacking the Repub
licans for their counting IN" tricks

This little sentence should be
written on every heart and stamped
on every memory. 1t should be
the golden rule practiced not only
in every household, but throughout

we not only remove thorns from
the pathway and anxiety from the
mind, but we feel sense of pleas
ure in our hearts knowing we are
doing duty to a fellow creature.
A helping, hand or an encouraging
word is no loss to us, yet it is a
benefit to others. Who has not
felt the power of this little sentenced
Who has not needed the aid and
encouragement of a kind friend?
How soothing, when perplexed with
some task that is mysterious and
bur0ensome. to feel a gentle hand
on the shoulders and to hear kind
voice whispering do you feel dis
couraged? 1 see you are in trou-
BILE; let me help you" What
strength is inspired, what hope Gre
ated, what sweet gratitude is felt,
and the great difficulty is dissolved
as dew beneath the sunshine. Yes,
let us help one another by trying
to strengthen and encourage the
weak and lifting the burden of care
from the weary and oppressed, that
life may glide smoothly on and the
fount of bitterness yield sweet wa
tiers; and He, whose willing hand is
ever ready to aid US, will reward
our humble endeavors, and every
good deed will be "bread cast upon
the waters to return in many days"
if not to US, to those we love-
