A WORTHY ENTERPRISE.

Many Confederate soldiers died
in prison at Chicago. In that Sc
we're climate they suffered untold
agonies and death was blessed re-
lief to many of them. At lakewood
Cemetery near Chicago seven thou
sand Of these brave men lie in neg
lected graves.
After their faithful service, their
fearful suffering and their terrible
death, it seems hard that their re-
mains should be permitted to lie in
unmarked graves.
An ex-Confederate association has
been formed in Chicago and has
considerable membership. One of
its objects is to raise money to build
monument over the graves of these
neglected heroes. The ex. Confed.
rates living in Chicago have shown
a disposition to contribute literally
toward this noble object, but they
are not able to carry it out on a
proper scale unless they receive the
cooperation and assistance of others
who are in sympathy with this
movement. We have no doubt that
there are thousands of men and wo-
men in the South who will gladly
aid in this laudable work. The
7,000 Confederate soldiers who sleep
near Chicago have been neglected
long enough. They can afford to
go forever without any monument
save that which they made for
themselves by their valor, their for
titude and their accomplishing
suffering. But the people of the
South cannot afford to let them lie
in neglected graves without any
memorial to tell who they were,
what they did, how they lived and
died.-Macon Telegraph.

GIRLS REARED IN CAGES.

United States Consul Griffin,
stationed at Sydney, N. S. w., tells
Of a remarkable custom of the in
habitants of New Britain, as follows:
s'The Inhabitants, it is said by Wal
lace, have a peculiar custom of con-
fining their girls in cages until they
are old enough to be married. This
custom is said to be peculiar to the
people of New Britain. The cages
are made Of the palm tree, and the
girls are put into them when 2 or
3 years of age. The Rev. George
Brown established a Wesleyan mis-
sion in New Britain in 1876, and l
learn from him that these cages are
built inside of the houses and that
the girls are never allowed to leave
the houses under any circimstan-
ces. The houses are closely faced
in with a sort of a wicker work
made of reeds. Ventilation under
the circumstances is rendered diff
cult. The girls are said to grow up
strong and healthfulin spite Of these
disadvantages

SUBJECTS FOR TH0nGHr.

AS a means Of influence, the hab-
it OF bringing faults and weaknesses
to the front cannot be too strongly
condemned. 1t kills sympathy and
fosters repellant attitude that re-
jects ali overtures, however well
intentioned they may be. 1t ac-
italy increases the very evils it
desplores by keeping them constant
ly in view. Parents and teachers
otter make this fatal mistake.
Anxious to cure a fault, but
thoroughly unphilosophical in their
methods, they harp continually
upon it, and keep reminding the
child of its presence, its enormity,
and its dangers, until at length he
comes to regard it as a necessary
part of himself. An experienced
educator says that an infallible way
to make boy irreclaimably stupid
is to assure him constantly that he
is SO; and the same thing is equally
true of other faults. Only through
good can we produce good and, if
we would try to help or improve an
other, we must find out the best that
is in him, and from that point must
we try TO improve that which is
lacking. Let US ever bear in mind
that goodness and truth go hand in
hand, and that to discover, to well
come, and to emphasize the one, is
the surest way to attain the other
in its tulness.
