John White, who lives near Ath-
ems, was out working on his farm a
few days ago, when he found rab-
bit bed with four young ones in the
bed. He caught three out of the
four, and he thought he would give
them to his old cat and kittens. He
gave the old cat one of the young
rabbits and thought she would eat it,
but she carried it to her bed with
her kittens, and came and got the
second one and did likewise, and to-
day the young rabbits nurse the old
cat and she cares for them as her kit
tens.

MARIETTA.

When the advantages of which
Marietta possesses are duly consid-
cred, we may be pardoned for spe-
cially recommending it to all those
who may be in search of a pleasant
place for permanent homes. 1t is
accessible to all points on the sea-
board and the interior towns and
cities of the state. Having a SPLEEN
did altitude, far remote from any ma
larial section, with a perfect drain
age and good water abundant, Mari
eta is unsurpassed as city of health
fulness. Those escaping from the
snow storms and zero winds of the
north and northwest, will find here,
during winter, pleasant and enjoy
able homes, while the Floridan fee
ing from the parching heat of Flori-
ola sand-hills, will find this delight
ful location in summer. Here we
occupy the mean between the ex-
tremes of heat and cold. The winds
from the ice-felds of the north are
tempered up and the hot breezes from
the extreme south are tempered down
before they reach us ; hence the
pleasantness of our climate. Loca-
ted on grand trunk railroad in the
heart of productive territory, Mari
eta is desirable location for new
enterprises that are springing into
existence. AS business mart she
stands in the first rank of inland
towns. Her business buildings are
first-class and second to those of no
town in the state. Her merchants
are intelligent, active and energetic,
while the professions are ably main
tanned by those engaged therein.
Our educational facilities are good.
Our various churches being in charge
of able ministers aided by good chris
tan men and women render our re-
ligious advantages superb.

How FAR A S. BILL WILL Goa
few days ago Mr.. Z. A. Abel, of
Lumpkin, handed his wife FIVE dol
lars in greenbacks and asked her to
put it away for him. Mrs. Abel was
busy at the time and tucked it in the
pocket Of her apron, where it was
soon forgotten. The apron went in
to the weekly washing without any
thought of its valuable contents, and
went through the process of washing,
boiling and scrubbing. 1t then pass
ed through. the drying process and
finally reached the ironing table.
Here the lady. who was doing the
ironing noticed that the iron did not
run smoothly over the apron, felt in
the pocket and taking out what she
supposed to be a scrap of paper and
threw it upon the floor. 1t was pick.
ed up by one of the children who un.
folded it and running to its mother
told her that he had found some mon.
ey. Upon examination the five dol
lar bill was found to be intact after
its tour through the laundry, moi
even having lost any Of its origina,
color.

HUSBANDS.

Young ladies past the age offifteen
and from that delicate and interest
ing age all the way up to forty, and
perhaps even later, are generally
supposed to be, more or less, on the
lookout for husbands. Nice dresses
and pretty bonnets; music and dane
ing, and the polite accomplishments,
in societies where these are cultiva-
ted, and very much of what is called
society, are supposed to have this OBJ
ject in view.
We do not say how just this is; but
such is undoubtedly the popular idea.
1t is believed that nine out of ten of
all young unmarried ladies would not
object to good husband.
But the supply of good husbands is
not equal to the demand. Conse-
quently, we have some hundreds of
thousands of old maids-nuns who
have taken no wells or VOWS, and who
do not live in converts, but who are
none the less living in state of cell
ibacy.
The surplus of women makes the
celibacy of many necessity. The
unworthiness of men is the cause of a
greater number. We see thousands
of men around us whose married state
is constant marvel to us. We can
not conceive how they ever induced
any woman to have them. Rough in
their manners, careless in their NOR
ais, slovenly in their appearance, and
filthy in habits, how can these men
be the fit husbands of tender, deli
cate, loving women? Still such men
do get married. We read about them
in the newspapers. Sometimes they
are complained of for beating, bruis-
ingostabbing their wives. Sometimes
1T is suit for divorce. But there
are thousands of such cases never
heard of. Many proud sensitive
woman dies of brutal husband, and
the world never knows it.
Until the standard of husbandly
virtues is raised, and the market bet
ter supplied, women will do well to
prepare for the struggle of life with
out their help. There is too much
marrying in haste; and, of conse-
quences, too much repenting at leis-
ure. Marriage, which developes all
that is lovely, sometimes brings out
the worst qualities in men. Many a
woman at forty exceeds the promise
of girlhood; but how few are the men
who do not fall very tar short of the
hopes Of youth
Probably the chief motive to many
a marrige is never avowed and scarce
ly suspected. Women are such an
gels of charity, that they marry bad
men out of pure benevolence, in the
hope of making them better. They
know how much men need their So
ciety and influence, and how much
worse they would be without them;
and so they give themselves up, for
better or worse, sacrifices on the al
tar of charity.

ROUTINE WORK.

A sorrowful story comes to us from
Virginia, showing how the routine
work Of certain occupations takes
possession of man, so to speak, un-
til even death itself appears an irrele-
want incident.
Cummins, a telegraph-operator in
an inland town, was receiving the
usual Associated Press dispatches
from Richmond, when he wired,
"Slower. Have been splitting blood.
Take it easy"
The Richmond operator paused
few moments. The tick began again,
but from a new hand.
"Cummins just dead. l take his
place. Go on from address"
Another telegraph-operator in En-
gland, named Monro, was struck
dead while at the wire. He signall-
ed, 'Send substitute. l am going"
When he was found, his hand was
still on the key.
An Edinburg medical journal calls
attention to the large number of
telegraph-operators who become in
sane, and attributes the disease in
the brain to the effort to read by
sound for long periods. Proof-read-
ers, letter-sorters in post-offices, and
the signallers of trains are all fire.
quent victims to the insanity pro-
duced by the monotonous, constant
use of one function of the BRAIN.
Actors of a single part come I'M
der the same category. One low
comedian who had played the same
part over three hundred nights sue
cessively, was struck while on the
stage with imbecility and was led off,
an idiot. The larger proportion of
insane women in our asylums are the
wives of poor farmers, whose steady
labor has no relief by amusement or
reading.
There are many such monotonous
pursuits among American industries.
But all danger can be averted by
giving to the brain relaxation and
change of thought.

When about to invest additional
sums of money in any business, or
when thinking of entering any new
enterprise, it is entirely proper to ask
the question "Will it pay?" fit is
new business, better ask some one
who has made a success of it, and
notice that his answer is always a
conditional one-not at will pays"
but, at will pay if properly man
aged" or ut paid me, but | had to
work for it," This rule holds good in
any business, and notably so in rear
ing any kind Of fine stock. 1t pays in
proportion to the intelligence, indus
try, enterprise and economy used,
rather than in proportion to the
amount Of money invested.

Cancer Cured.

Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resi-
dent of Walton county, and lady of
culture and prominence, has this to
say of the treatment of cancer with
Swift's Specific:
Over fifteen years ago cancer
made its appearance on my face. 1t
was treated with plasters, and the
core came out. The place healed up
after some time, and seemingly my
face was well. However, in few
years it returned again with more
violence than ever. 1t gave me a
great deal of pain. The former rem
edy seemed to do it no good. Know
ing the disease to run in the family,
having had one sister to die with can
Ger, became seriously apprehensive
of my condition. 1t continued to in
crease in size and virulence. | al
most gave up all hope of ever being
cured. The physicians advised the
use of the knife and caustic. This
was more than | could bear, and re-
fused to have it operated upon in
that way. All other remedies were
used, but the cancer continued to
grow worse. The pain was excru-
ciating, and my life was a burden.
In this extremity my son, DR.. Hard
man, recommended me to try Swift's
Specific. 1t was the last resort, but
| was so prejudiced against the use
of patent medicines, and especially
this one, that | hesitated some time.
At last | gave my consent, not be-
lieving there was any virtue in it.
The first bottle only increased the
size of the sore and the discharge
from it, and hence did not inspire me
with any hope. On taking the sec
ond bottle there were signs of inn
provement, and my faith strengthened
just in proportion to that improve
ment. The spot ON my face began
to decrease, as well as the dis
charge, and hope sprang up in my
heart. Could it be | asked myself,
that | was at last to be relieved of
this disease? 1t has given me so many
dark hours in the past that the idea
of being well again almost o7erpow-
cred me. There was contest be-
tween hope and fear for long time.
1t was a long night of weeping, but
JOY came with the morning. There
is nothing left to mark the place but
small scar, and | feel that it is inn
possible for me to express my graft
tude for this great deliyerance tits
wonderful medicine.

The Athens Banner says: "Fall
oats are generally a failure, but those
sown in the spring are looking well.
MIR. Smith, the big Oglethorpe plant

sowing oats in the fall, mixes a half
bushel of wheat with. each acre, so
that if the oats are killed out he
makes up the stand with wheat, that
is just as good a feed for stock"

A miniature gold mine was recently
discovered on the teeth of bullock
killed near San Francisco. The head
with the teeth attached, were boiled,
and when exposed to view the entire
row of teeth was found to be thickly
covered with pure gold, and consid-
cradle gold was also found in the pot
in which the head was boiled. The
coating was submitted to chemical
test and was found pure. 1t is sup

Dying EIGHT TIMEs.-Augustine
D. Guitteraz, miner, employed at
New Almaden, California, was taken
very sick about month ago, and in
few hours was pronounced dead.
His coffin was ordered and arrange
ments were made for his burial, when
he showed signs of life, and was so
far restored that hopes were enter
tanned of his recovery. During the
past two weeks he has been pronounce
ed dead seven times and came back
to life again each time until last Sun
day, when he died again, and the
physicians say that this time it is for
good.-Alta California.

From time immemoria no one will pretend to
deny the fact that kisses have been held in high
repute by both sexes-whether active passive.

ACTION on both parties; but when lady simply
