Why Georgians Won't Steal.

have been living in Georgia seven
years and have never had but one
visit from n bcggar. have never
locked my front door at night. My family
sometimes go from home on visit to a
neighbor and stay all day and leave
the house unlocked, and nothing has
ever been stolen that we know of. My
stable and corn-crib is never locked.
No honester people never lived than
live around us. My opinion is that our
people are most too lazy to steal and
wouldn't 90 after corn unless it was
shucked and shelled and sacked. !
believe that if was 10 put Il bag full
of nice corn out at my front gate some
feller would take it and carry it of;
but they won't go 10 the crib after it..
1t is too much trouble. Bayard Taylor
tells of n canton in Switzerland where
the merchant marks the price of his
goods and goes of to his little farm
and leaves the store open, and when o
man wants anything he goes in the
store and measures il or weighs it and
puts the money in the drawer. That is
Il good way and saves clerk hire, but l
wouldn't advise our merchants to make
the experiment for fear of accidents.

Clergymen Should be Men Of this World.

Clergyman Should be Men Of this World,
Ii is absolutely necessary that the
clergy should be men of the world in
the best sense of the much-abused
phrase They should know 3 great
deal, not only of the people Of the first
! but OF the people of the nineteenth cen
tury. They should be acquainted not
only with the learned speculations OF
the schoolmen, but, also. with the un-
learned spcculations Of the simple
minded folk in their parishes. Thus
the church, though in u different way,
may again become the power which il
was in the so called ages of faith. and
represent not only the splendid achieve
mcnts of vanished past, but the more
| splendid triumphs Of Il living present.
And in addressing themselves 10 the
needs of the age, the clergy viii be do
ing only what has been done before by
the church. over and over again. What
is now accepted because otthc stamp Of
Antiquity. we must remember, was one .
looked on with suspicion because 1t was
new: and what is now s1 crude ana
new. OF even radical. VIII one d&y have
the sanction Of a venerable antiquity.
Christianity itself was, atthc bcginning,
new thing, and il conquered il place
in the history Ul mankind. not because
il appealed to the past. hu, because il
had message for the throhl;ug lie Of
lis age. That message may me made
as vital rs to-day. if modern preaching
will concern it>rlI with the needs and
longing> ot modern men. NJ" lori

A BABY's COFFIN ON THE HILL
s1DE.-Iuformation was brought that
q coffin containing the body of a child
had been found on the hill of West
Helena. This had formerly been a
Gem etary, but afterward used as a
fort and the graves obliterated. On
going to the place designated, there
was found a small, oval-shaped, me
tallic casket, old fashioned and much
rusted, and the face-covering broken.
The glass was, however, perfect, and
underneath could be seen the feat.
ures of little baby, with silken
hair Of golden color. The eyes and
nose were almost gone. There was
a bouquet on the breast. The box
in which the coffin had lain was rot
ten and decayed. A broken tomb
stone near the head of the grave, ev.
identity placed there to mark this
Identical corpse, was inscribed as
follows: Joseph A., son off. F. and
l.. E. Hathaway, born November 9,
1850, died September Is, 1851"
From this 1t will be seen that the
corpse had been buried 80 years ago.
The coffin still lies on the hill un-
buried.

The City Item has this to cav
of Mrs. Langtry, who recently ap
peared in New Orleans:

peaTeu ID new orleans:
She can not act; she is not graceful.
because her strides are too long. ana
the dignity she exhibits is ostensiblv
forced. About her beauty-welI. Il
shows its full fore and grace when she
is in repose; than she is simply superh
There is one thing, however, to her
credit, and we feel rejo;ced in having
been the first to discover it, and take
great pleasure in according it to her.
it is that she is q woman of nerve nm =
flinching!
Woman it is said, is the quiet, weak
and timid side of humanity. This, we
believe, is the case, because a coura-
geous woman is thing we don't see
every day, but when we see Langtry
come to New Orleans, where beauty
predominates, and permits herself to
be advertised as an ornament, we feel
that we should love her because she ia
a plucky woman, and her valor ought
to cause her memory to be engraved
in the hearts of our people.
