Life's Changes.

While in the drawing room coach on
his way home from Philadelphia not
long ago q New Yorker found himself
face to face with a woman whom he had
not seen for some time.
"Why, Mrs. Blank" cried the New
Yorker, ''how"-
At the woman's %reproachful glance
he stopped. "Not Mrs. Blank" she cor.
rooted. ~ got my divorce from Mr..
Blank ONE time ago. I'm now Mrs.
Dash. Let me present my husband, Mr..
DASH" whereupon q man got up and
bowed.
"You-you don't mean itp' gasped
the New Yorker. "Ihadn't heard. You
and Mr.. Dash haven't been married
very long, have you?"
"Oh, no, indeed" said the woman,
"about 45 minutes, I think" consult
ing her watch. "We're on our wedding
trip now.""
The New Yorker gasped again. Then,
BLESS you, my children" he cried and

oNE GLASS OF WINE.
4 Belief That It Changed the History
OF This Country.

4 Belief That It Changed the History
of This Country.
It is said that a single glass Of wine
probably wrecked the Democratic party
in 1860. The story is worth telling.
After the breaking up of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held a state con-
vention. Great excitement prevailed.
The leaders of the party could not
agree. 1t was a critical period.
The majority report Endorsed the So
ceders or boilers at Charleston. while
the minority report opposed their ac-
tion. The leading champion of the mi.
nority was Herschel V. johnson, and
his followers were confident that his
eloquence and logic would carry the
day.
It is quite likely that such would
have been the case but for an unfortu.
nate mishap. Ex-Governor johnson be.
gan his speech before the noon adjourn.
ment on the second day and concluded
after dinner.
Old Incl who remember that speech
say that it vas a powerful argument,
and the impression gained ground that
after the noon recess the speaker would
demolish his opponents with a few
sledge hammer blows.
But the overcontident friends of the
minority report were doomed to disap-
pointment. johnson felt the strain of
the morning session go much that he
wac unable to eat anything, and he took
a glass of wine upon an empty stomach
to strengthen himself. This was a fatal
mistake. That n glass of wine per.
haps changed the destiny of the nationl
The great orator resumed his speech,
but the wine had nauseated him. He
was hazy, verbose and unintelligible at
times. His style and argument lacked
vigor, consistency and positiveness. His
friends looked at one another in despair.
The men on the other side were exult
ant. 1t was evident that the speaker
had damaged his own cause.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry r.
jackson followed each other for the ma
jority report. They spoke with ap air
of expectant triumph and captured the
convention.
Ibe majority report was adopted. IL
ia unnecessary to follow the history of
the next few weeks. The national De-
mocracy was completely disrupted and
put two tickets in the field. Lincoln
was elected and the country was plung.
ed into a civil war. Had johnson sue.
ceeded in inducing the Georgia nve
ticn to adopt his conservative ideas, it
is safe to say that other southern states
would have fallen into line with our
commonwealth, and the national Demo-
cratic party would have remained
united.
This is the story of whats little glass
Of wine did. It ruined a great party,
caused a disastrous war, and besides the
loss Of life cost the south over 81. O00,-
900, 600. Perhaps this is rather speou-
lative, but there are many who believed
it a generation ago.-Atlanta Constitu-

The Four Greate.t Poets.

The Four Greatest Poets.
Who are the four greatest poets Of the
world? The question was one, we gather
from Sir Edward Hamilton's mono
graph, which used to exercise Mr.. Glad
stone. About the first three places in
deed he believed that there could be no
reasonable question. They must be as
signed to Homer, Dante and Shakes
peare. But about the fourth place MI.
Gladstone found geat difficulty. He
considered that there were four COM
Virgil, Milton and
Goethe. We wonder how many Of our
readers would at q first guess select Mr..
Gladstone's final choice? It was Goethe.
Who, in recent days, have been the
greatest masters Of. English? This was
another question which Mr.. Gladstone
was fond of considering. He decided in
favor Of two asgreater than all others =
Cardinal Newman and MI. Ruskin. 1t
is interesting to recall the fact that Mr..
Morley, in a lecture, answered the came
question. According to him, the great
masters of English in our generation
have been three-Carlyle, Macaulay
and Mr.. Ruskin, The last named alone
appears, 1t will be seen, in both lists

With earth and wood and sky is blent.
The hedgerow blossoms stain the sod,
The south winds make the grasses nod.
And woolly lambs in awkward play
Down the green hillside ambling stray
Along the blue horizon rim
The lights and shadows sink or swim,
And penciled family on the skies
A ghostly half moons crescent lies
The blackbirds chant the whole day long
A rhythmic madness in their song,
And dusk and dawn along the lane
Echoes the cowbells' rude refrain.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure o known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh, being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls CatarJh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and

Atlanta, oct. 22.-Mayor Woodward said
tonight the only thing left 20 be done
was to call off the Dewey celebration, as
Cougressnan Livingston had telegraphed
him to-day finally that Dewey would not
come to Atlanta. This has thrown a
damper over Acting Adjutant General
Byrd's efforts to make a good showing
for the military. from which he was ex-
pecting great results.
Dewey's action is generally regarded
here as an insult to Brumby, and the
town is all agog with talk as to why the
decllnation came so suddenly and without
any warning Persons who believe that
Dewey's homecoming is due to his health
are very scarce here to-day and the dis
cussion as to the real cause for the Ad-
niral's sudden "nop" Is divided between
two causes Congressman Bartlett's ILL
