A Right Start.

a Young man was recently graduated
from "A scientific school. His home
had been religious one. He was a
member of Christian church and had
pious parents, brothers and sisters. His
family was one in Christ. On gradual
Ing he determined upon western life
among the mines. Full of courage and
hope, he started on his long journey to
strike out for himself in new world.
The home prayers followed him. AS
he went he fell in company with older
men. They liked him for his frank
manners and his manly independence.
AS they journeyed together they
stopped for Sabbath in a border town.
On the morning of the Sabbath one of
his fellow-travelers said TO him,
"Come, let us be off for drive and
the sights" NO" said the young
man, am going to church. l have
been brought up to keep the Sabbath,
on in that way" His road acquaint-
ance looked at him for moment, and
then, slapping him on the shoulder, said
Right, my boy; l began in that way;
| wish | had kept on. Young man,
you will do. Stick to your bringing up
and your mothers words and you will
win" The boy went to church, all
honor to him, in that PARKWAY place
and among such men. His companions
had their drive, but the boy gained
their confidence and won their respect
by this manly avowal of sacred obliga-
tions. Already success is smiling upon
the Young man. There is no lack oil
places for him. -,Selected

A Pretty War Romance.

During the winter of 1868, while in
quarters, the Thirty-ninth Georgia
Regiment drew some clothing and
socks. Most of the clothing of the
confederate soldiers came from the
looms and needles of the wives, moth
ers and sisters at home, and it was
custom of the southern women to knit
socks and send them in to a quarter
master, located in some town near by,
or some agent whose business it was to
collect such things and send them to
the army. And very often a young
lady would attach her name and adj
dress to the socks she knit, with re-
quest for the soldier who drew them to
write her a letter. This was done to
know who would be the beneficiary of
their toll for the cause they loved. At
the time | speak of a young and gallant
soldier of Company G, Thirty-ninth
Georgia, by the name of Robert S.,
drew pair of socks with a tag on
them, Knit by Miss Lizzie W., near
La Grange, Georgia; hope the soldier
who draws these will write me letter.
Robert was volunteer from Whitfield
county, Georgia. A lively correspond.
ence was begun and kept up for some
time. The Yanks captured Roberts
horse, and he was cut off from home for
some time. Miss Lizzie wrote him,
should he be wounded or get sick,
to come to her fathers house and
make it his home. But he was one
of the fortunate few who escaped
wounds, though commonly in the front {;
but in the siege of Atlanta and the
Tennessee campaign which followed
soon after, Robert being so buisly en-.
gagged fighting and marching, the cor
respondence was left off with Miss
Lizzie, and then the surrender came,
and Robert returned to his home in the
mountains near Gordon Springs and
entered school, and was in school in
1866. When there was an examination
at Villainow, Georgia, seven miles off ,
everybody in the surrounding country
was there and, among others, Miss
Lizzie, whose father had sold his farm
in middle Georgia after the war and
bought another in Armuchie Valley.
The day had passed off pleasantly, and
the first prize for defamation had been
awarded to Judson Clements, the pres
ent congressman from that district, and
all were returning home. Your cor
respondent happened to be with Miss
Lizzie, and we were discussing the
pleasures of the day when she asked
who that handsome young man was

Rather Embarrassing TO the
"SuppIy."

A Hartford clergyman tells this an
ecdote: Early in life, while occupying
another charge, invited clergy
man, whom the unregenerate would
call conceited and dull, to preach in my
pulpit. During the sermon, our Hart
ford preacher dozed away in the sweet
old way, till he was suddenly called on
to conclude the service with prayer.
Accustomed to regard himself as the
humblest of his Creators instruments
and forgetting that he had not deliv.
cred the sermon, he began with, We
beseech thee to accept the weak and
to thee, and more richly to endow thy
servant with the grace he so greatly
lacks. "-HdrUord Co,rdnt.

The Future Life.

/ feel in myself the future life. |
am like forest which has been more
than once cut down. The new shoots
are stronger and livelier than ever. l
am rising, know. toward the sky. The
sunshine is over my head. The earth
gives me its generous sap, but heaven
lights me with the reflection of I'M
known worlds. You say the soul is
nothing but the resultant of bodily
powers. Why, then, is my soul the more
luminous when my bodily powers be-
gin to fail? Winter is on my head and
eternal spring is in my heart Then /
breathe at this hour the fragrance of
the lilies, the violets and the roses as at
twenty years. The nearer | approach
the end the palmer l hear around me
the immortal symphonies of the worlds
which unite me. 1t is marvellous yet
simple. 1t is fairy tale and it is his
tory. For half a century | have been
writing my thoughts in prose, verse,
history, philosophy, drama, romance,
tradition, satire, ode, song-l have
tried all, but feel that have not said
the thousandth part of what is in me.
When l 60 down to the grave can say,
like so many others, have finished
my days work" but / can not say, /"
have finished my life" My days work
will begin again next morning. The
tomb is not blind alley, it is thor
oughfare. 1t closes in the twilight to
open with the dawn, improve every
hour because / love this world as my
fatherland. My work is only begin
ming. My work is hardly above its
foundation. ! would be glad to see it
mounting and mounting forever. The
thirst for the infinite proves intinity.-

Boaslcv saw a woman brutality beating
a child. The officer proceeded TO arrest
the woman. and TINS act caused excite
ment amongst the cOlored cohorts as

evidence before the court yesterday that
Mansfield Ford. above referred 10, took
leading hand IN attempting TO iniimi-
date officer 3easley. and that he rallied
such crowd around the officer that for
timefit was doubtful whether he
would be able 60 remove the woman TO

Several white gentlemen came TO the
rescue. and the officer finally ran the
woman in, not before, however, Ford
had declared that he would wade in
blood up to hi. neck before IT should be
done. IL further appeared in the evi-
dence that Ford had said during the
excitement that Now was the time to
