Two Sinners,
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There was mar, It was sal one time,
Who went astray 10 his youthful prime.
Can the brain keep cool and the heart
keep quiet,
When the blood is a river that's running
liot?
And boys will be boys, the old folks say,
And mans the better who 5 had his day.
The sinner reformed, and the preacher told
Of the prodigal son who came back to the
fold,
And christian people threw open the door
Wealth and honor were his to command
And a spotless woman gave hin her hand,
And the world strewed their pathway
with flowers abloom,
Crying, "God bless lady and God bless
groom"
There was a maiden went astray,
In the golden dawn Of her life's young
day,
She had more passion and heart than
head,
And she followed bindly where fondIove
led.
And love unchecked is a dangerous guide
To wander at will by fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from sin,
But no door opened to let her in;
The preacher prayed that she might be
forgiven
But told her to look for mercy in heayen.
For this is the law of the earth. we know,
That the woman is scOrned. while the
man may go.
A brave man welded her, after all,
But the world SAID, frowning, "We shall

Editor Grady's EsOyi>iiness.

Henry Grady was bOy--nOthing
but boy-we all called him Henry.
His smooth and boyish face and
laughing eyes and merry laugh did
hardly become a man. He had to
be deeply impressed with the deep
concern or peril of an thing to put
off his boyish ways. Only few
years ago l rode with him and two
friends in the country, and seeing
squirrel across the road he leaped
froh the Garage and chased him
far in the woods, He came back
laughing and painting, and said: i
would have caught him if If l
had been a dog" He loved the
boys and their boylsh sports, and
once remarked that he would go to
school again If he was not ashamed.
Said lie wanted to play marbles and
skyball, and would try game Of
mumblepeg with a newSbOy if there
was nobody watching him. When
baseball came on the carpet he was
delighted, for it gave even a man
a chance to be Il boy again He
joined in the sport with eager en-
thusiasm. and kept it alive. ard
became for awhile It's champion. l
remember beng in the Office one day
when Henry came SauntcrIng in
with happy smile upon his face.
and Evan Howell said: "You
needn't come here laughing, just
look at that bill for telegraphing
your baseball news from all over
the country. That's the bill for
one week-just one week and If
you don't stop it I'm going to charge
it up to you. We've got It TO pay ,
but l am going to charge it mp to
you" Henry glanced at the bill
aud said: That's all right; charge
it, charge it | don't care; but I'm
going to have the baseball news all
the same. What are you fellows
talking abOut?" When he left the
room Howell said: WAS there
ever such a boy i'll the world?"-

got out, walked up and down, and
was on the platform when he said:

1t Will be difficult to find in the
State OF Georgia, or in the South. s
man to fill the place Of the late
Henry w. Grady, the peerless orator
and matchless writer. His thorough
culture, his sense Of Justice. his love
Of right, and his power Of analysis
eminently fitted him for leadership
but death cut him off in his young
manhood, and his friends and the
country have lost the ripeness Of his
years. What fruits those ripper years
would have borne We can only Judge
by those already gathered.
AS a writer be brought to his argu-
mentS the aid of a style of singular
vigor and perspicuitY, and fortified
his position with learned facts and
authorities that made it lmpregna-
BILE. AS an orator his elocutlon was
faultless, and m2ltitudes hung like
the bees of HJ bla upon his lips to
catch the sweetness bis eloquence
distilled. His resources Of learning
supplied him with rich stores Of
classical iIustr alton, which were
used not to embellish but to intens
ity his logic of pen and tongue.
Henry W. Grady was one of the
greatest men the South has ever pro
duced. His life was too short to
measure its greatness, as it closed
before noon, while the sun was still
shining on higher eminences just be-
fore him. 1t closed on a career in
complete when the greatest honOrs
were awaiting his oatstretched hand.
1t is no injustice to Lee, Stephens +,
Hill. and Davis to say that Grady
will live as imperishably as they IN
the minds and hearts Of the South
ern people.

Peculiar Coincidence.

Q1ite q peculiar coincidence hap

gives a most excellent light, bat he
could not find q chimney large
enough for it in GoId8boro, and as
his stock on hand bad become cN~
hausted by breaka3e be ordered a
lot l:om the factory. Messrs. Hood
& BRITT lave q lamp the same size
as that Of Mr.. GiIdenS, and knowing
this Mr.. Giddens stepped 10 there
Saturday night to ask if they would
take some Of the chjmncys Oft his
hands. "No," said Nr. BRITT, eve
have been using that chimney up
there for over two years constantly,
it doing service IN the tent during
the Pearson meetings, and | don't
believe 1t is ever going TO break.
Just at that in3tant-f fCrach' ven,
the chimney-"crack, crack"-aud
fell to pieces, while they looked on
in astonishment. Now, what caused
that chimney to break right thea:
Was it the concentrated. current Of
their thoughts? 1t is needless t.
add that Mr.. Giddcns sold then

The teachers institute convened
here the past week, conducted by
Prot. McIVer, the able:t educator
and the most interesting speaker to
teachers and the people, that we
ever heard on the subject of educa-
ton. There was d good attendance
and Prof. McIver spared no pains
in showing the Importance Of edu
cation and the simplest methods of
teaching. 1t is hoped that he left
a lasting Impression that will aid
in tile advancement of educational
interests in which our white people
here are much slower than the
c0lOred race. The darkeys are
striving with all the energy they
have to obtain an education. while
many of our white peop'e are in
different about educating their
children, who are to make our
State what it is to be III the future
1t is said that we have thg best
superintendent of public schools in
the State, Mr.. j. W, Fleetwood ol
whom we are very proud. He says
that he hopes to merit the cOmpli
mentary remarks given him by Prof
McIYcr at the Institute.

To this end we repaired TO the
hotel, paid dollar and half each
for our doubIe-bed1ed rnom-there
were four in the partY-and then
went to the theatre.
We enjoyed the performance and,
after partaking of good oyster sup

on the feather-beds.
After criticlsing what we had
seen, and eating over again in i'm

had enjoyed, and contrasting our
nice. comfortable beds with the
places we had been obliged to sleep
