Ancestry.

When Ben Franklin, rri,ny
young printer was carrying his
forms through the street one cay. !.c
met ayouny fellow OF his own arc.
the son OF an aristocrntic family who
was SO poor as to want n meal.
Franklin offered to find work for
him in a boring shop, but re-
celvcd the naughty rebuff:
The 6 IS arc not fallen SO low
rs to become mcchanics!'
When FRANKLIN was Minister to
France, this man died paupcr in the
Philadelphia almshouse.
Family pride Of another kind was
shown by u study farmer in Con
grcss, who, when an attempt was
made TO buy his vote on Il c, rtain
occasion, replied:
'olr, every one Of my kin in the
old gravcy ard at home would rise if
should touch that money. would
not dare to do it.
In countries where social rank
estate and title, all solid realities,
descend in an unbrollcn line, there
IS some apology for family pride, and
even III America is natural for a
man to take keen interest in those
whose bl0o,i and character he inhcr
u.s. AS long as the knowledge that
MS ancestors have been truthful, hon
est, manly men, helpers in Cod S
world, makes him more anXinus to
be himself honest, independent and
useful, family pride is help in his
life.
But when, as is more often the
case, we see family dawdle weakly
through life, unwilling to engage in
trade or honest work, justifying their
right to be alive by their far off kin
ship to some titled or rich dead man,
pride of birth is only hindrancc
and is vulgar absurd pretcncc.

AS Others sec US.

If we could OCCASIONAL, get out of
ourselves and from short removed
standpoint look at our lives til: ougl
others spcctncles, it might ASSIST
some OF us very much IN putting 4
proper estimate npon ourselves. II
Hould also have Il tendency To mat e
us more charitable to others, amt in
cline us to he more rcauy To excuse
aud forgive the faults and short
cominys of our friends. /. has been
said that we carry our ncighbors'
faults in a bag in front OF us, with
both hands dclvtd into it up to our
elbows, while wecarry our own in q
bag behind us, which we seldom care
to inspect. This is q prominent tr:,it
III fallen human nature against which
we should constantly contend and
pcrsstcntly fight, otherwise it may
prove an enemy that may overpower
us in the end. TO see ourselves as
others see us, is n very desirable ac-
con'plishmcnt which is seldom at
tanned, and hard lesson that it is
very difficult to learn.
Vanity and scliishncss is the rule,
and charity the exception, in the lives
and practice Of most Of us. If per
sons who arc SO pccvish and dscon-
tented, and SO dissatisfied with the
world and the people in it, could and
would but place themselves for the
time in the position Of Others, and
surrounded by the same circum-
stances and conditions, and then
look back upon themselves, it would
wonderfully change the affairs of life.
and strengthen the bonds of the com
mon brotherhood Of civilization and
society. The world is advancing,
and we may be approaching this dc
sirablc state Of things, but we have
not yet reached it yet.

A Word to Youns Glen.

Too many young men disregard the
divine Injunction 10 live b, the sweat
oltheir Lrow and cndcavor instead to
makes living BY the sweat of their
jaw. A reasonable number Of our
young men can take this course and
not injure the State, but when eight
out OF ten make up their minds to
follow the professions, the result is
exceedingly injurious to the COIN
munity.
No man Of sense will question the
fact that to day the most inviting
field Tor our young men is in bccoln-
ing skilled mechanics and good
scientific farmers. Georgia is at The
threshold Of a period OF wonoeriul
material Development, and in ten
years will be one OF the greatest manu-
featuring States III the Uninn. The
Held for farmers is just US inviting.
Are we to bring men into our State
to do all this work nl shall Quar- .youEm
men learn how TO do it themselves?
The sooner they do, the better it Will
be for them and the State.
Let us hope that our young men
will consider this question. If one
half OF the idlcrs were to look ut this
question properly we would not need
TO cry aloud Tor immigration to de
vclop our resources -Ithtntu ConSti-

nU considered in good taste, to be
gay III urcss at church. We were
picascu to read that the ladies Of a
large ant wealthy congregation OF
BaptIs sia Nash, lille, Tennessee, had
resolves co dress in calico in church.
NO" we do not care or desire that
!a>lcs should continc themselves to
calico though it is neat and pretty
but we do most sincerely AMI re-
llglonsl Y desire to sec our lovely and
beAultGl women adopt palmer
style OF dress ut church than that
"nlch now prevails.
Bat" says some fair lady reader.
WY do you Wish us Ia be palmer at
church than 1T other public and so
cs:ii aSscnblics:"
For more reasons than one; but
or chlef reason is that YOU may not
dress poor women ont Of church and
away from church, as we, alas have
ioo mu.:h reason to believcthat Gu
are now doing. Now we know that
thlS is no part Of your design or de
sire; indeed, We doubt not YOU will
hear with regret that Ills is the
effect OF yot'r tine dressing at church.
But yoa will ask:
Why does our fncrv affect or
harm TIL. poor 1T church more than
c!Scwhcre!"
For this simple reason: The
CHURCH is the only place where the
poor and rich meet together. The
poor DO not visit in the circle Of the
f!ch--do not attend grand dinings,
parties, and the places Of public gay
ETY.. 1t is only in church that they
are brought in contact and the poor
made TO feel the contrast between
,heir chrapncss and plainncss and
the costlincss and splendor Of the
wcll-to-oo. Now it onght not to be
SO, but so it is. This contrast is
Illuminating to the poor, and they
shrink away from it, and will not 90
to church ut aH; or, if they do, 90
with feeling Of modification, or else
with an effort at display beyond their
means.
4hanf poor women are kept from
the church in. the morning, and some
at night, because they shrink from
contrasting their poverty and plain
ness with The wealth and show OF the
.ichcr classes. We cannot hope to
correct this feeling in the poor
t hat, then, can bc done; This: Let
4ccolne fashionable and he regard
sls matter Of good taste to be

Say d by an Orang-outnns.

a noblcman had a favoritc mon
key, large orang-outang, which
you know is the largest species OF
monkey except the gorilla. This
monkey was very much attached to
his master and to the baby boy, who
was the pet Of the whole family. One
day Suddenly fire broke out in the
house, and everybody was running
here and there to put it out, while the
little boy in his nursery was almost
forgotten; and when they thought of
nm the staircase was all in flames.
What could be done? AS they were
looking up and wondering, large,
hairy hand and arm opened tie win
dow, and presently the monkey ap.
pcarcd with the baby in his arms,
and carefully climbed down over the
porch and brought the child safely to
its nurse. Nobody else could have
done it, for man cannot climb like
a monkey, and is not nearly so strong.
You may imagine how the faithful
creature was praised and pcttcd after
that. This is true story, and the
child who was saved was the Young
Marquis Of Kildare Chi,ireu's S
Treusn'y.

There vas some stir created here

quotes Dudley us saying that while
he has no disposition to discriminate
against ex-Confcdcrates, he thinks
they ought not to hold position which
puts in their power to pass upon the

ter has created more talk and inter.
