BUSINESS AND GAMBLING.

I wish the young men of this
country could see that the legit-
innate business, honestly conduct
ed, given value received for all
incomes was the only way to per-
manent success. Oh, the wrecks
along this river from source to
mouth-the river of speculation
of gambling; and | believe a
bucketshop is as much a gamb-
ling institution as any faro bank
run in Chicago or New York. TO
play on the puts and calls of
the wheat pit is as much gamb-
ling as any game Of studhorse
poker ever played in California.
Some OF the brightest, brainiest,
cleyerest young men Georgia
ever produced have swallowed up
in the maelstorm Of speculation,
| see The Journal this week re-
ported that a game Of poker was
going on in Atlanta, indicted
by the police, and 50 on, am
as much opposed to poker, faro
banks and seven'up for the dol
lar as any man on this continent,
bit one dirty bucketshop in At
lanta will wreck more young men
Id a month than every faro bank
and poker game that has been run
in Atlantic sence the war. care
not how pure the motives may be
when a man goes into speculation

THE GREED FOR MONEY.

Iknow. in these days, that
money not only makes the filley
60, but it makes everything that
wears hair go; and it moves a
bald headed man tolerable well.
And | know it is true largely that
a mans bank account determines
not only his business standing
but his social position, and fre-
quently his position in the church
of God itself. In the last few
weeks gambling in stocks-fu-
lures, corn, cotton and wheat,
has made many rich and many
poor.-Sam Jones.

RESPECT FOR BRAVERY.

A man who had been a private

Jonesboro. He and his comrades
had been dismGunted in the edge
of the thick woods, and dismount-
ed cavalry are hardest of troops

an open corn field, a quarter of a
mile wide, with woods upon its
furthur side. Reinforced by a
half dozen companies of infantry,
possibly 1900 federals lay perdu.
In blunder, company of eonfed-
crates, not more than ninty men
all told, was ordered to attack.

A coy PATRIOT OF ILL.
= INOIS.

In che 59th Illinois Infantry
there was a little drummer boy
only twelve years old. Just how
he got there no one seemed to
know, for boys under eighteen
were not sreceived. Possibly he
ran away.from.h home, joined the
troops and was allowed to re-
main. However, he soon became
very popular and.was the pet Of
the entire command. He sang,
and danced, and furn i s h e d
amusement on many dark day
when hearts were heavy and the
trials of camp life were hard to
bear. -"
The Illinois troops had faced
the fight on many fields before
that fatal day dawned which
made Shiloh memorable both to
Federals and Confederatas. But
on that beautiful Sabbath day,
April 9th, 1862, they were to
take parl in the hardest fight OF
the whole war.
The assaults of the Confederates
were met by the Union men over
and over again with stubborn
valor. But over and over again
like a resistless hurricane the
Confederates swept forward.

Raising Pigs by Hand.

When by reason of any misfortune the
pigs cannot be fed in the usual manner
by the SOW, they may be reared by
hand, without any difficulty further
than the necessary attention Of giving
them milk with a spoon until they
learn to drink In the cold season it is
proper to take the pigs from the sow
and put them in a basket wrapped in
flannel near warm fire, until the whole
litter is born They are then taken to
the SOW and held to the teats to get
them to suck IF this cannot be done,
they are TO be fed with fresh cows milk
with q teaspoon until they are two or
three days old, when they may be fed
by nursing bottle or taught to drink.
Where pigs are kept in sufficient num-
bers 1t is desirable to have the pen
warmed by a stove at the narrowing
time. This will pay. for it is quite easy
