IF We Knew"

If we knew, when walking thoughtless,
Through the crowded, noisy way,
That some pearl of wondrous Wilderness
Close beside our pathway lay,
We would pause, where now wo hasten,
We would otton look around,
Lest OUT oareless feet should trample,
Some rare jewel 10 the ground.
II we knew what forms were faintine,
For the shadow We should fling.
If wo knew what lips woro purching
For tho water we should bring.
We would haste with eager footsteps,
We would work with willing hands,
Be.rIDg cups of cooling water,
Planting rows Of shady palms.
If we knew where genius struggled,
Through the weary nights and days,
Seeking for some word Of comfort,
Little word Of hope or praise
Boughs of balm and leaves of laurel
We would pace within their hands:
Little daeds, with pleasant meaning,
Hungry hearts can understand.
If VIC knew what feet wero weary,
Climbing up the bills Of pain,
BY the world oast out as evil,
Poor, repentant Magdalenes--
Nevormore with naughty gesture
Would wa drive them from our sido,
Wrapping close our robes around US,
. With Pharisaio pride.
If we knew when friends around us,
Closely press to say "Good-byc,"
Which, among the lips that press US,
First should meath tho dasies lie---
Wo would clasp our arms Ground them,

Conscience Makes Cowards,

Au amusing story mas just been published
by g contemporary, concerning an incident
which occurred not long ago in one of the
mountain counties of Northern Georgia. It
| should be promised that the State Of Geor.
gia has very stringent law forbidding it's
citizens 10 carry pistols upon pain of for.
fcitng tho weapon and paying fine of
fifty dollars Or being imprisoned for thirty
days. Shortly after the passage of this
enactment, Judge Lester was holding court
in little town, when suddenly he suspended
the trial ut the case by ordering the sheriff
to lock the doors of tho court-house, so
that no one could nuke his cgress from it.
"Gen'Iemep," said the judge, when the
door vas closed, II have just seen pistol
on man in this room, aud [ cannot recon-
| cile it with my sense of duty as peace officer
to let such u violation of the law pass un.
noticed | ought, perhups, to 70 before
the grand jury and indict the man; but, if
that man will walk up to this staud and lay
his pistol and a foe Of ono dollar down
here, will let him of this time" The
judge paused; aud au attorney, sitting
just before him, got up, slipped his hand
into hip-pocket, drew out peat ivory-
handled six shooter, and laid it and dollar
down upon the stand. "This is all right"
said tho judge, "but you are not the man
that saw with the pistol" Upon this
another attorney rose and laid down Colts
revolver and dollar bill before the Judge,
who repeated his former observation. The
process went 90, until nineteen pistols of all
kinds, and sizes. and shapes lay upon the
stund, together with nineteen dollars by
their side. Tho judge laughed as he com
pIimeuted tho nineteen deliuqueDts upon
being men Of business, but added that the
man whom he had seen with tho pistol had
not yet come up, and, gIancing to the far
side of the court, he continued, 81 will
give him one minute to accept my PROPOSE
ion, and if he fails will hand him over
to tho sheriff." Immediately two men
from tho back part of the court rose and
began to move towards the judges stand.
Once they stopped to look ut each other
and then, coming slowly forward uid down
their pistols aud their dollars. As thoy
turned thoir backs tho judge said, "This
man with the black whiskers is the ono
that originally saw"

CONCERNING AN ADvERTIsEMENr.--T
Eariy County Me,Os has this to suy. Com
ment is unnecessary: We have often sup-
gested to merchants tho importance of
keeping business card standing 10 their
local paper all tho time. Such card they
should no roore think Of taking out Of their
paper than they would think of taking down
sign 10 front Of their store, or allowing
their insurance policy to run out. This
idea was brueht to mind by spending some
time, the other evening, in looking in the
Telegraph and Messenger for the card of
one of the leading dry goods houses ia
Macon and falling to get the style of the
firm from single sentenoo in the paper.

TRAINING CIRCUS ELEPHANTS.

TRAINING CIRCUS ELEPHANTS.
-"How do you train your ele-
plants to do their funny business,
standing on their heads and ali
that sort Of thing?" a Now Haven
reporter queried.
"Use the mechanic" explained
MIR. Hutchinson. "We put a
band about the hind legs of an
elephant when we want to teach
him to stand on his head. Then
we put a pillow under his head.
At the other end of the tackle is
another elephant, and when the
word of command is given off
goes the elephant on the outside
of tho ring and the fellow on the
inside is obliged to stand on his
head whether or no. This is
repeated until finally the beast
knows what's wanted and then at
the word of command up he goes
on his head. And it's so with all
other tricks. It's persistency that
does it."
He explained further that when
onco they received Instructions
and were chained back in their
places they would work Mt their
tricks apparently trying to perfect
themselves in them. 1t is, Mr..
Hutchinson says, much more
amusing to see them then than at
any other time.
