Agnes responded by some pleasant
raillery, and, in similar pleasantries
the evening passed all too soon.
"How do you like Dir. Preston,
Agnes inquired Marguerite that
night after they had retired.

enthusiastically, II think he is just

1t was fortunate for Marguerite
that the lamp had, at Agnes request,
who "never could sleep with a light

her tell.tale face might have excited
in her friends mind suspicion that
he was something even nearer than a

Was it because the house was
strange that Agnes had such Difficult

WAS the system of teaching a good one?"
In some respects it was, but it was very
wrong in this. A dull boy was expected to
learn just as fast as bright boy; or if he
couldn't do it he was larruped just the same.
"The idea of the old field schoolmaster
seemed to be that boys were equal in ability to
learn, and when the dull boy couldn't learn an
effort was made to beat it into him.
1t is a bad idea and has ruined many a boy.

DR.. HammoTfd of New York stated recently
in an intervieT that death is absolutely pain
less and that stsere is no difference between the
death OF believer and the death of an unbe-
lever and thAt life goes out like candle.T
1t is subject of universal interest and the
opinion of Number of atlanta physicians are
appended.
DIR. Todd says. "Mv opinion is, that in 80
cases out of 100 death is perfectly painless, not
only because of The absence of any indications
that denote pain but because of the accumula-
ton in the blood, of such effete matters as
carbonic acid gas, which act as q sedatiye or
anesthetic."
ado you notice any difference between the
death Of an unbeliever and Christan?''
Eyes, that makes q great difference The
death of an unbeieyer who is an agnostic,
is always attended by sense of vagueness,
uncertainty and doubt. The true Christian
believer dies like going to sleep. II Is especially

TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

New YORK, September 22.-The national
democratic committee issued an address tonight to
the people of the United States, 1t is signed by W.
II. Barnum, chairman, and Calvin S. Brfce, chair
man of campaign committee. The postscript re-
quests that ell contributions to the national dem
ocratc campaign fund should be made payable to
the order of Charles ]. Canda.
The address begins by alluding to the evident
wish of the great majority of the democratic party
at the end of Cleveland's third year of Office as
president that he should be nominated for second
term. 1t touches on the rugged integrity and able
and long continued public services of Allen G. Thur
man. and his claims the partys choice for vice
president. Next, the committee, after promising
that would do its entire duty appeals to all whose
convictions II represents to labor collectively and
individually for the election of Cleveland and Thur
man and thus secure continuance of the blessings
of good government and the honest, able
and wholly unselhsh administration of
members of the party that their first
duty is thorcU sh and complete organization. Every
one who thinks Cleveland and Thurman n u i be
elected ought to belong TO an organization III his
own neigkboEhood.
Referring to the tariff quest On, it declares that
the present surplus in the treasury proves the neces
sity for a reduction in taxes, and deplJres the
action Of the republican senate which refuses re-
d d. the aYeraee tariff dues from 47l0 to
come of high duties. and If the republicans achieve
power the rich would become richer and the poor
poorer 1t then alludes to the large sums which
corporations and persons who profit by the needless
exactons of the existing tariff laws are PIE
pared to spend 10 help the election
of the republican candidate, and an
pealg to TIE members Of the democratic party for
ASST stance for the purpose Of printing and circulat
ing campaign documents, and for other legitimate
expenses 1t then alludes to the freedom
Of those in Office under democratic
administration from exactions for campaign pur-
poses and contrasts this record with that of the re-
publican party at the former presidential cleo
tons
In conclusion, It appeals to that vast body
Of earnest men who have learned, in the struggle
of daily life to estimate good government at its true
worth, and whose love OF home and country will
prompt them to contribute, each according to his
means, 10 the expenses Of a canvass of such mo-
ment and eXtending over SO great q territory.
