What Railroads DO and Undo.

Chattanooga TENN BRIDESMAID
Half century ago, Decatur, Geor-
gia, prosperous village, objected to
having the shops Of the Georgia rail-
road and was afraid Of the Irish la
borers. They were located in the
woods, and there to-day stands At
lenta. the 'tQueen City Of the South. /"
Coyington, Georgia, rejected the
request of the same road to go through
the streets of the village. To-day
Covington stands a monument to the
mistake of fifty years ago. Covington
of fifty years ago feared the railroad
would brighten horses in its streets.
Covington OF to-day fears it will have
no horses in its streets to frighten.
At the same time, Atlanta has SIX
roads through the heart Of the city
without killing horses, but, on the
other hand, it moves along, increasing
with rapidity which is phenomenal.
Eyton forced the railroad around
it's limits; Birmingham let the road
through its centre. To-day there il
no Hyton. while Birmingham's growth
almost rivals Atlanta's.

and similar articles.n

Indecision of Character.

OF the many causes which hinder
men from obtaining success, indie
cision isundoubtedly one of the most
potent. Without any determined
course marked out for themselves,
youth launchout into the great ocean
of life, depending more upon chance
than any fixed laws whereby a def
mite result may be obtained. Think:
ing to-day, perchance, to amass for
tune through some particular chan
mel, they, tomorrow, easily alter for
some other. So they pass their lives,
continually varying, always discon-
tented with the present, and ever
looking to the future for brighter
days, which their indecision does not
warrant them to expect. How many
young men there are who, if settled
in their purpose of obtaining live.
lihood, would ultimately be crowned
with success. HON many old men
who, if they had not so lightly and
so frequedtly changed their voca-
ton, would be now in the enjoyment
of every comfort, whereas their lat
ter days are embittered by want
1t is the blight from which no man
is exempt that "man shall earn his
own bread by the sweat of his brow"
Such being the case, let us not be
over-fastidious as to the nature of
the employment, so it is honest. We
were not placed in this world to en-
joy an endless paradise, but to pre-
pare ourselves by honest lives, for
endless bliss. If we feel dissatisfied
with our lOt-which i'm fact we all do,
the king as well as the beggar-let
us molly and manfully endure it,
Soon, very soon, all our tolls and
troubles and privations will have an
end. Let us not try to divest our
selves of the weight Providence has
put upon us. Whatever our condi-
ton in life, let us discharge its duties,
and if we calmly submit to the Crea-
tors good will, be convinced that
our days will be more happy and
less troubled than if we seek, day
after day, an easier means of OBJ
tanning that from which we shall be
shortly, and eternally separated
money. Be decided in youth what
course you will pursue throughout
life. Do not, without sufficient rea-
son, deviate from it, and though you
should not become a distinguished
man, yet rest assured your life will
not be fruitless.

Raleigh IN. o. Visitor: sThere
are many people who will walk along
a pleasant country road, neglecting
to look at the wild rose bushes on
the right, the beautiful trees on the
left, or the bright blue sky above,
with gaze bent downward, seeming
for chance mud puddles. And Sc
they spend their lives, looking fol
dirt, and they can always find it; but
what poor satisfaction it must be
after all, when they do find it,"

Public Spirit.
Exchanged

Every man owes a duty to the
town in which he resides to advance
its prosperity and to add to its adj
vantages for residence, aud to make
it the abode of kindly sentiments,
brotherly and neighborly feeling
1t is shame for man to use the
community as shepherd uses his
sheep-merely to shear the WOOL
Money materially made is not all of
life. Barren indeed would be the
spot where no man respected his
neighbours rights. That man is a
disgrace to the nineteenth century
whose every duties are regulated by
the thought Can better myself at
the expense of the community to
which I belong %
OF coursea community is only an
aggregation of individuals. The
residents of town, however, stamp
the same character and reputation
upon the place of their residence
that actuates their own conduct in
life. A stream cannot rise higher
than it's fountain head, neither can
the tone of society rise above the
motives and sentiments of its indi.
vidual members. A village is de-
nominated smart active place SIM
ply because few leading men are
active, public spirited and sagacious.
Brains, spirit and energy will tri-
umph over natural obstacles. A
fertile soil may be of little value to
a lazy community while careful cul.
tivation may render a sandy soil pro-
ductive. Many a once thrifty town
can date its decay from the removal
of some wide-awake enterprising
citizen. Few people appreciate the
real money value of their public
spirited citizens, and in far too many
communities live business men meet
Encouragement from those who do

bear the burden of making repu-

Good Country Roads Wanted.

From the Memphis Appeal
It is singular to remark how men,
and often shrewd business men too,
will, to avoid spending money in
one way, spend twice as much in
another. A striking instance of this
odd description of economy is seen
In the case of our county roads,
Farmers and others will whine like
whipped spaniels over paying a rate
for good, substantial road repair,
who submit without a wry face to
pay for wagons worn out for years
before they should be, and mules
worn down in their prime through
bad roads, beside submitting to the
loss of time and injury to their bust
ness that comes from inability to
haul through the mud and ruts and
holes that exist in the roads about
them. IF those who live where such
roads are tolerated were to enter in
a book the loss to business, the loss
of mule service, the damage to wag-
on and harness, beside the personal
discomfort to themselvesandf family,
and add all up on one side the ac-
count, then put down the amount of
a road tax that would give them
good roads all the year round, that
would add to the value of their prop.
erty, and encourage immigrants to
settle In their neighborhood-would
they not blush for the short-sighted
policy they and their whole county
was pursuings The Legislature is
now in session, and if anything is
required to make the county road
law more efficient that legislation
should be secured. Our people have
had enough of reverses, and an era
ofprosperity is evidently longed for.
10 secure prosperity good roads, IA
cility of movement, is an essential
requisite.

Vital Differences.

1t is sometimes said By Indifferent
persons, "after all, what differences
are there between the Democratic
and Republican parties p as though
there are none of any considerable
importance. Whoever supposes
there are none, are greatly mistaken
or deceived. There are deep, essen
tial and vital differences between
them, affecting in the highest de-
gree the nature, the policies, the
practices, the prosperity and the des-
tiny of the government. One funda-
mental difference is, that the Repub-
lican party is in its nature radical,
extreme, violent, aggressive and I'M
compromising in whatitinsists tends
to promote the public good. Its
fundamental doctrine is the central
iSatson of the powers Of government,
especially of the Federal govern
ment. This doctrine is and has been
and always will be the root of its
life, the embodiment of its spirit,
the strength of its energies, and the
essential groundwork of its successes
and triumphs. All its policies and
practices tend necessarily to the
enlargement of the powers Of gov
ernment, especially of the Federal
government; these all look and tend
to the aggrandisement of the Fede-
raj government, the abridgement Of
the powers and rights Of the several
States, the dwarfing of the State
government and the subversion of
the right Of local selfgovernment.
Its logical purpose is to sweep away
all the limitations and balancing
provisions of the constitutions of
this country, both State and Fede-
raj, and the consolidation Of all the
powers Of government into one vast
central government. This implies
all that is meant by empire. Itmay
he said that the Republican party
means empire. Whatever may be
the purposes and views Of indiyidu-
al members Of this party, the party
as political organization means
empire in the end. And We point to
the whole course of the party, its
policies, its practices, what it has
accomplished, its whole history, its
good deeds and its vastly prepon
derating bad ones, as convincing
evidence of what We have just said
On the other hand, the Democrat
ic party is in its very nature oppos
ed to the Capitalization of power il

trine is the preservation of the con
stitutions OF the country, both State
and Federal, q due and strict oh
