Do Not Be Afraid.

r. NJ. O.. in Milledgeville Chronicle.
In this day of free speech, free
thought, free investigation, and a
free press, what need is there of
fearing people? Poor indeed must
be that mind that always stops to
ask the question, "Will it be pop
ular with the people?" The mass
of the people have what is known
as common sense-a sense that will
be slow to act hastily, but ready
to hear patiently. Address ones
common sense in the right. and you
will have listener.
But those who assume to speak
to the people should above all other
things have the courage of their
convictions. Poor indeed is that
editor who belongs 10 party, and
who is ever on the outlook to hear
what the so-called party has to say.
Great editors, like great leaders,
are within themselves a party.
Great teachers are always in au-
thority in their respective spheres,
no matter what that sphere may
be.
We have been led to the above
reflections by reading the follow
ing, and would implant in every
man and woman that self-respect
for their own opinions which would
make the world better if everyone
had real true and honest opinions
and convictions. Do not be afraid
of yourself.
Says Rev. DR.. Charming:
"Speak always with moral cour-
age. Speak what you account great
truths frankly, strongly, boldly.
Do not spoil them of life to avoid
offence. Do not seek to propitiate
passion and prejudice by compro-
mise and concession. Beware Of
the sophistry which reconciles the
conscience to the suppression, or
vague lifeless utterance of unpop-
ular trlth. Do not wink at wrong
deeds or unholy prejudices, because
sheltered by custom or respected
names. Having deliberately, con-
sciously, sought the truth, abide by
your convictions at all hazards.
Never shrink from speaking your
mind through fear of reproaeh,
Wait not till you are cure OF an
echo from the ground. The fewer
the voices on the side of truth the
more distinct and strong must be
your own. Courage, even on the
side of error, is power. How must
it prove on the side of truth?"
There is lesson for everyone to
learn. This idea of catering to
ignorance, prejudice, and a fear of
telling plain truth, that each gen
Grafton may be aware of the errors
and follies of past generation, is a
moral cowardice which savors of
treason to truth.
The world only learns to be wise
by being posted as to the faults OF
preceding generations. There is
nothing so sacred that it connot be
touched, or nothing too holy TO be
investigated. There is no man SO
high that he cannot be criticised
no party SO great that it cannot be
watched. There is only one thing
that is impenetrable to truth and
argument, and that is prejudice
backed by fanaticism and bigotry
Nothing can reach heart eteeleo
with prejudice. Give US
"Men who possess opinions and will
Men who have honor, and will not lie
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty and private thinking
God, give US MEN,"

AN EDEN IDYL,

The Bachelor.
Twas twilight. The crepe OF
dusk was delicately folding its
brunette veil over the face of day.
Swan-down clouds softly nestled
in the bosom of the drowsy west,
whose golden curtains, kissed by
the dying sun, draped themselves
in folds of most bewildering love
illness over the couch of Light.
Breezes, balm-laden, fingered
lovingly in the leaves, while per-
fumed blossoms family floated
through the iridescent, AMBIENT
etc., atmosphere into the lap of the
lady.
There she sat-on moss.
A child of Nature-simple, but
no simpleton.
Lonely. lovely, happy, softly
grooming to herself, with long,
slender, taper, white, soft, yet hon
.est and dimpled hands, gently
clasped, there, on moss, in her
right bower-a bower of roses
she sat with nothing, doing Moth
ing.
No maiden of the earth possess
ed such velvet-violet, large and
luminous, long-lashed, crescent
browed eyes as hers.
No living lips so cherry-like-so
red-so ripe, SC sweet, SO honey
dewed as hers, had e'er been seen.
No nut-brown hair, no Titan folds,
no golden curls, no shimmering,
clustering, wavy, Amelie-Rives-
silken-foss-no hair, nowhere,
could with her hair compare. Hers
were the first white teeth of pearl
e'er worn bv girl; hers, too, was
the first pink, shell-like ear.
And there. on moss, she sat.
Nor Worth nor Pingat could have
built gown like unto hers; nor
Redfern, nor Felix. V-shaped in
the neck, square-cut and low in
front, scant of skirt, permitting
utmost freedom of movement; of
indescrible color, grace and charm,
it was a Century poem.
And there, on moss, she sat.
She had been there but an all
too-brief three months, waiting,
grooming, on moss, waiting; for, in
her heart of hearts small voice
whispered He will come"
He came. He was man. Tall,
strong, uneffeminate, yet manly
withaI, and handsome as a god
with Sandow biceps whose every
movement spoke of poetry.
Care sat as lightly on his brow
as would the feather of a butterfly
Notwithstanding his heavy stock
responsibilities.
He had left his overcoat at home
fall but the chrysauthemum for
it was cold; and as he stood there
wrapped in thought and baking i'll
the sunshine Of here smile he
looked, aye! every inch man
What need had he of overcoats?
"Gcod eve!" quoth he, and his
De Reszke voice brought forth rare
sweet applause from al! the listen
ing echoes of the bower.
"The same, sweetheart, to you,
onoth she, and with an unaffected
undulatory rise, she clasped his
manly bosom unto her and wept
for very Joy.
Then he kissed her with def
right-arm movement, and III thai
one clinging, tender long-distance
labial caress, they knew they loved
That settled it. They got mar.
ried.
He was Adam.
She was Eve.
Nineteen centuries have passed
into the past and Adam and Eve
are very deaf. Their children are
however, elaborately alive, and
shameful things! they love, inter
love, marry and inter-marry, di
vorce and inter-divorce prolifically
But they do not sit on moss. Til
rocks-hard rocks, and plenty d
them-that the Adams and Eve!
of to-day sit on if they woulc
we'd.
Alas, good Adam!
A lass-Good Eve!
