Is Life North Living .

this question, and saying a good many thing too
deep for ordinary understanding. To make life
really worth living in the best way, the first re
Guirement Is good digestion ana u healthy cir

body would knock him in the head, is in low
spirits because his digestion j. bad and his
digestion is bad and his blood poor. Dr. Myers,

The House committee has reported
against the bill to require the underground
laying of wires. Itprobably was convinced,
by the testimony of the electrical experts,
that the scheme was impracticable. There
is another bill before the legislature which
may practically test this matter. 1t re-
quires the telegraph and telephone Compan-
les to support the schools and keep up the
roads of the state. If it eNempts them
from this burthen upon condition of their
putting their wires where they will not be
a nuisance, we suspect that the electricians
will find that underground wires are prac-
ticable. If not, it is just that
the companies which impose poles and
overhead wires upon the community
should pay for the privilege which is sc
burthensome to it. They should not he al.
lowed TO maintain grievous nuisance
without paying for it.

that never faileth. And surely this, rs the
Apostle says, is the more excellent, the
highest type of religion.
1t is this religion whose beginning and
ending is love, that our age is learning to
prefer to the cruder type of which Gordon
retained so much. Perhaps this latter was
needed when the rack and the martyr-pile
were yet in vogue, when heretics were to
be burned and kings beheaded. But to-
day men are beginning to realize more and
more that evil is to he overcome by good
alone, by steady integrity, virtue, upright
ness, and faithfulness in the small things
of everyday life and work. They are
learning TO know God as all-embracing
Father and not only as q ruler enthpncd
above the heavens.
II is not weaker type but only less
vehement. IL is stronger, because more
calm, enduring and more truly Christlike.
Its heroism is revealed less in the din of
battle, by the glare of the torch and the
groans OF dungeons but it does and
dares no less, suffers and conquers rs
grandly by thousand tircSides where
fathers are bearing their crosses and
mothtrs wearing their thorny crowns in
q myriad of places and forms where wrong
is battled with, evil overcome, truth and
goodness and purity made to triumph
through humble faith and hope and love,
Less conspicuous in form than ever before,
it is not less genuine to-day, but only less
uncommon.
% 1t Is thing to walk with, hand in hand,
Through the every dayncss OF this workday
world.
Barring its tender feet to every ruughnsss,
Yet letting not our heartbeat go astray.'
1t is this kind of religion the world needs
to-day to leaven every department OF
human life, far more than that of Gordon
or than any other.

ADVICE TO GENTLEMEN.

To Be Read With the Hope That 1t Does
Not Apply to Yourself, Your Friends
Your Relatives.
The following article has been sent us
with the request to publish it. We trust
it does not apply to any of the relatives
or friends of our readers: Allow me to
give some advice to gentlemen from
twenty to forty years of age, who can
see SO many faults in the opposite sex
and none in their own. As it has now
become fashionable for gentlemen to
express publicly their disapprobation of
the dress, manners, habits and educa-
ton of the female community at large,
/ think we ladies, in justice to ourselves,
are now called upon to retaliate, and
also should be permitted to make public
our opinions of the sort of men which
we would, and would not like to marry.
The moral, sensible, steady, industrious,
honorable man, who can work for a
living, besides putting his hand to any
little manly job about his own house,
such as mend a chair or table, paint
a door, plaster a fire CRATE, white
wash the ceiling, paper the bedroom,
clean his own boots, and be a
gentleman withal in company, is just
the sort of man for me or any sensible
lass to marry But your empty
headed, self-conceited, starch-necked,
cigar-smoking, brandy drinking, money
hunting, lady-killing, lazy, lounging,
selfish. plotting, scheming, mean, de-
ceiVing, pomatum plastered animals,
who call yourselves Lords of Creation,
you're no more fit for matrimony than
q spider is to command a regiment.
The fact is, my dear fellows, you want,
generally speaking, more common
sense and less puppyism, more knowl-
edge and less foppery, more manliness
and less impu lence, more honor and
less falSehOOd, more brains and less
mustachc! Shave off your mustaches
and be more like men and less like
monkeys; throw away your cigars and
walking-sticks, take a useful book into
your fingers and try if you can pick up
bit Of common knowledge, so that in
time you may learn to be what the God
of Nature designed. | submit the above
to the Albert-chained, wash-pinned,
brass-ringcd, false-ironted, gambling,
horse betting paragons of wit, fashion
and frivolity who are looking out to
catch any rich woman who could be
fool cnodgn to marry them. And, Sc
rously speaking, it is much to be de-
plorcd that such creatures as these,
without affection, knowledge, means,
or useful capability whatever, should be
selected for husbands, and change in
this order OF things is a consummation
devoutly TO be wished for Western

GOLD IN GEORGIA.
Revival of the Fever of 1S4O-An Old In

Revival of the Fever of 1s4O-An Old In
dian Tradition in Barlow County.
The revival of the Georgia gold in
terest is attracting many practical
miners from the west and southwest,
where the fever has somewhat subsidized,
and marvellous stories are being told of
the richness of the ores found in many
localities in the northern part of the
State. Dahlonega has long been famous
for its mines. The State agricultural
school is situated there, and after a hard
rain the boys flock into the streets to
pick up nuggets that have been washed
out of the sand. Mines are being dis

which incite men, young and old, to
join in the hunt for the veins they tell of.
Near Gainesville an aged farmer tells
the story of an Indian chief which has
aroused the interest of the neighbour
hood to fever heat. When Governor
Troup drove out the Cherokee tribe and
settled it in the West, this chief returned
to old haunts in Barlow County, and
gathering all his white friends about
him, assembled little mound sur
rounded by an amphitheater of hills. He
turned himself round slowly three times,
saying in his native tongue, From
where stand l see a mine that
would buy the richest kingdom
in the world" He disappeared
suddenly, and was never seen again.
Some say he spoke of a silver mine,

whatever it was dilligent search has
been made throughout the neighbor-
hood. Rich mines of manganese and
gray iron ore have been found by those
in search of the gold and silver; copper
has been discovered in large quantities,
plumbago and mica and yellow ochre
unearthed, as it were, by accident
all showing the marvellous mineral
wealth of this section. Numerous old
shafts have been found, shafts which
must have been worked from a half to
three-quarters of q century ago. In ex-
cavating an eighty-foot cut on the Gin
cinnati and Georgia railroad, square
hewn timbers in an excellent state of
preservation were removed from the
roadbed? No outlet to the shaft through
which they must nave been lowered
there was ever discovered.
A murder or accident forty wears
back was unearthed a short time AGO by
the discovery of an old shaft, at the
bottom of which the skeleton of the vic
tim was found.
Fort Mountain, in Murray County, is
celebrated for wonderful spring which
boils up from its very top. Near the
spring are the remains of a fort, from
which the mountain takes its name,

against the attacks of the Indians
while his men worked the rich gold
mines of the range of which this noun
tain is a spur.

borhood with great diligence, and as
much excitement prevails there as

FUN OF CITY LIFE.

Fun for the Boys, but Not for the Young
Man Who Has Rooms Under Them,
In second story window of an up
town residence, fronting on a cross
street. dignified young man sat read
ing one warm Sunday morning not
long ago. The rising sun was preparing
to ride high in the heavens, and people
were going to church. The smoke of
cigar curled upward from the young
mans lips, and he leaned idly from his
window, watching the people passing
along the sidewalk below him. A
stately citizen, clad in conscious virtue,
a white waistcoat and some other gar
ments, came walking along. When the
citizen arrived at point directly under
the window where the young man sat,
he suddenly clapped his hand to his
ear, stopped short and looked up at the
young man. The latter looked calmly
down and the citizen moved on.
A thin gentleman passed a moment
afterward, twirlng cane as he passed
along. Below the window he, too.
stopped, rubbed his nose violently, and
looked up. The young man again
looked down calmly, but with little
surprise on his features. The thin gen
tleman looked at him suspiciously and
moved on, and an angular person of
the female sex soon followed. She. too,
abruptly stopped, famed her left ear
with her hand and looked up. The
young man blushed and half retired
into the room.
"Wretchr' Kissed the angular female,
and passed on.
The young man looked at himself in
the mirror, but saw nothing in his APP
pearance which should impede traffic
in the street below. He returned to the
window Just in time to find a fat woman
shaking her fist at him and hear her
threaten to call a police. The driver of
cab sawed at the bits to keep his
horse from starting on run when it
reached point opposite the window,
and an aged newsman dropped his
stock, put his hand to his eyes and
danced up and down with rage.
The horror-stricken young man closed
the window, drew the curtain and
wondered if he or the populace were
going mad, while in the room directly
over his head two boys Rugged two pea
shooters to their breasts and voted that
they were having more fun than one
could shake a stick at.-N. Y Times.

OF a Bear That Said "BRff" by Way of
Grace Before Eating a Man.
A huge grizzly bear was brought into
town yesterday from North Park by
Sterling Ish, who killed him a week ago
last Wednesday, The killing was not
devoid of danger. Mr.. Ish tells the
story about as follows: Il was" said
he, dragging an elk that / had killed
down the mountain, when | noticed a
hole dug into bank and partially GSVss''
cred with green spruce limbs. ] knew
some varmint had been there lately, and
whenI got the elk down | went back to
prospect that hole. Well, / found that
darned bear had dug out a nest and
stopped up the mouth with spruce limbs.
He had fixed a mighty coy winter nest
but | guess he hadn't commenced his
winter nap, for when | stirred the front
door he said buff, and came for me and
l got.
81 had the start and jumped about
twenty foot every jump, but the blamed
bear jumped about twenty-five. 1t amt
no use to try to Outrun bear, for fell
low can't do it. But he can dodge 'em,
and when that fellow got almost onto
me, | lodged and give it to him with
my Sharp's when he turned. The ball
hit him in the breast, passed through
one lung and raised the dickens with his
kidneys and things. That didn't down
him and took to my heels again. He
didn't last long, though, but long enough
to have made it interesting if he had got
hold ofme. l lodged second time and
gave him another shot which passed
through the leg just above the foot.
He was so sick by that time that he
caved and kicked out. "-DeaUer NeaOS.
