THE TRUE AMERICAN IDEA,

The True American Idea that every
man in the United States is born a
prince, and by his own efforts and
merits he may climb to the top of the
social and political ladder, is very
antagonistic to the implication that
born a newer of wood and drawer of
water, nothing is left tor him to do
but to fight for an amelioration of
his unfortunate condition. A true
American youth who learns a trade
does it for stepping stone to boss
ships, and from that position to capi-
talists. True manhood is not to en-
Wy capitalists but to aspire to his
condition.

MISTAKES OF LIFE.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes Of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen of
them. Most people would say, if
they told the truth, that there was
no limit to the mistakes of life; that
they were like the sands of the shore
in number, but it is well to be accu-
rate. Here, then, are fourteen great
mistakes: 1t is a great mistake to set
up our own standard of right and
wrong, and judge people accordingly;
to measure the enjoyment of others
by our own F.; to expect uniformity OF
opinion in the world; to look for
judgment and experience in youth
to endeavor to mould all dispositions
alike to worry ourselves and Others
with what cannot be remedied not
alleviate all that needs alienation as
far as lies iii our power; to yield tC
material trifles; not to make allow.
ances for the infrmities of others; L
consider everything impossible tina
we cannot perform to believe onl,
what our finite minds can grasp; t,
expect to be able to understand eve
rything.

At Sparta the other day the editor
of the Sparta Ishmaelite prop ounded
these two questions to the two candi-
dates:
q. Do you favor the enactment
of a law preventing railroad pooling
in Georgia 2"
-. Do you endorse Major Camp
bell Wallace as railroad commission.
err"
These questions were presented
with the request that they be an
wered during the debate. The Ish-
maelite thus comments on the answers
received
major Bacon answered the first of
the questions evasively, leaving the
unavoidable impression that he favors
the railroad pool. In reading aloud
the second question, he omitted the
last three words, making it appear
that we had asked the silly question
whether or not he indorses Major
Campbell Wallace as a man. After
some persistence we ELECTED the fact
that he and the Ishmaelite are on
different lines on the railroad com.
mission.
General Gordon promptly and
frankly announced his opposition
to railroad pooling, and all other sort
Of pooling, and fully Endorsed the re.
cord of Major Campbell Wallace as
railroad commissioner.
major Bacon, Captain Raoul, the
Macon Telegraph, and all the rail
roads endorse the commission theory
but it requires friend of the lettel
and spirit of the commission law anC
of the purposes for which the Law
was enacted, to endorse Major Wal
lace's record as railroad commission

questions were asked for information
and acting on the information gain

alternative but to favor his candida

There is no habit so fruitful of sor-
row as that of evil speaking. 1t es-
FRANCES friends, makes bitter enemies
and destroys social intercourse.
There are some who would speak
evil OF their best friends for the mere
pleasure of indulging in gossip. Ii
is a true sign of corrupt, unregen-
crate heart, and if those who indulge
freely in the habit do not quit it they
will find the pearly gates closed
against them, when they leave thi,
mortal sphere.

WHAT THEY LOST BY MOVING
I From the Kingston Freeman

lrrol the Kingston freeman.
A little girl, in company with her
mother, visited the house of a friend
living "On-the-Hill," Rondout, yes
terday afternoon. The little girl was
born and brought up in the house in
which she was visiting. Her parents
had moved from it about month ago.
The girl took great pleasure in going
from one place to another, where she
had spent many hours playing. Just
before leaving her mother took her
into the lady's bedroom and showed
her wee baby that had arrived a
few days before. She looked at it
for moment and then iunocently
exclaimed, mamma, we moved a
little too soon. We'd have got that
baby if we had stayed here.

Col. James B. Mitchell, of Hawk
insville, has taken 1,20O pounds Of
honey from forty colonies of Italian
bees, this spring. The honey is ex-
tracted from the comb and sold in any
quantity at ten cents per pound. Bee
culture in this country can be made
practicable and it is wonder to us
that it is not more extensively en-
gagged in by ourpeople. The increase
in Italian bees is fully 100 per cent.
per annum.

a negro to go down the chimney of a

way. He yelled fora long time be-
fore he was heard, and seemed very
glad to go from the chimney to the

A few years ago J. 7. Traylor, of
Long Cane, had large oak tree fell
ed in his grove. Impacted in the
solid wood was found in splitting the
tree open live frog, which quickly
expired IN being exposed to the air.
There were evidences that the place
had been hollow-perhaps a knot
and that the woody fibre had grown
around his frogship so closely as to
scarcely give him room to move.

SORROW.

Sorrow is not an accident, occurring
now and then-it is the very wool
that is woven into the warp of life.
God has created the nerves to ago.
nize and the heart to bleed and be-
fore man dies almost every nerve
has thrilled with pain, and every af-
lection has been wounded. The ac-
count OF of life which represents it
as probation is inadequate; so as
system of rewards and punishments
The truest account of this mysterious
existence seems to be that it is in
tended for the development of the
souls: life, for which sorrow is indis-
pensable. Every son OF man who
would attain the true end of his be-
ing must be baptized with fire. 1t is
the law of our humanity that we must
be perfected through suffering. And
he who has not discerned the divine
-sacredness Of sorrow and the profound
meaning which is concealed in pain,
has yet to learn what life is. The
cross, manifested as the necessity of
the highest life, alone interprets it.
