THE MUE2MUR OF THE WORLD.

law of right than is he who is simply a common thief seeking to elude the few who labor the laws of possession to main- tain. The master is more the coward an1 no less the culprit, and the baser forms of cowardice shape his course as the baser forms of thievery shape the course of thieves of commoner degree.
 None shall escape; no, not one; none shall escape material penalties for material wrongs or spiritual transgressions. None ever yet committed human wrong who did not have to answer for 1t, here upon this earth in a human way. The wronging of q friend, or any one; the giving of need- less offense, or causelessly woundng; the melting to anger by petty annoyances, or the arousing of fierce resentment by some crying outrage; the betrayal of trust or a confidence in whatever relation given these crimes against enlightenment and culture and the worlds wider moralitios and truer verities, shall not only be kept for ever on trial in silent court of justice, before the man within the breast as judge, but they shall be paid for to the uttermost heart-pain, in regret, in shame, in grief, and in bitterness.

 Don't you believe it, my beloved, that there is any man or woman living who is without conscience Evil-minded persons, those who think wrong and do wrong, how ever depraved or wicked they be, they are crying piteously in their hearts as long as black hearts beat. crying piteously for mercy from themselves; vain cry of the self-condemned in all the walks and ages of mankind!
 So let us not take unto ourselves the privilege of sitting in the judgment seats of them who are mighty in goodness, in truth, and in love, beloved of my spirit. Whoso have offended or wronged us maybe meant us we'll and whether they were we'll meaning or i'll, the soul within the breast and the God who loves us all know in rull- CT wisdom than we may pray for in our little lives we strive worthily to live.
 And as we move gladly on to the blessed tide of Christ, we shall again, as in many glad aisles of many glad whiles that are dead take new heart of the new-old grace of the Master who is Love, and who said of old in divine spirit of Love, Vengeance is mine!
 We shall ring out the false and ring in the true, my beloved, for we may not with heavy heart of hate join the Christ-tide of glorious harmony.
 Love ye one another. Do good to them that prosecute you; and those whom you adore and who are of your faithful, give unto them fullest and freest measure of the love which God has given you to love. Sound it in your prayers, speak 1t in your heart, shout it in harmonious and heaven. ly melody to all your beloved-Love you, love you, love you,
 THE MURMURER.

der the picture are the words: James Swann, who has donated to the Techno- logical School the princely sum of $3O,00oS' In the article beneath the cut, however, Is the statement that the said James Swann and other friends have agreed ito give $25,00O if both bills now before the Legisla- ture are passed by both houses and are signed by the Governor" In other words, Swann, and associates unnamed, agree to give this sum, provided the State Legis- lature agrees to appropriate a large sum of money for the Technological School. It looks very much like a cheap advertising scheme of this man Swann, who ties a string to his alleged generous donation, perhaps knowing that the Legislature has no idea of passing any such bills as are pending before it. Perhaps the Techno- logical School would be very glad to com promise with this man for S5O00 in cash without any string being tied to it. When the late c. P. Huntington and others made donations to Booker Washingtons Indus trial School they did not make their dona- tions consequent upon legislative appropri- ations but gave their money generously to the educational institution Such gifts are very different from these grandstand news paper plays which were exploited in yes terday's Atlanta papers. Swann may give something-he can well afford it-but this alleged gift with a large rope tied to 1t looks bit fishy.
 I nm glad to see that the Sloss Company is figuring a steel plant in Birming ham, and that the officials of this com pany seem to have made the necessary financial arrangement. I hear the plant is to be located in North Birmingham, and that 1t is to be equal in size to the Ems ley plant of the Tennessee Company.
 Birmingham is indeed destined to be the great manufacturing center of the world.

Was he so bound, poor soul?" said the
 good wife:
 ''So are we all; but do not call him, love, Before you prove him, rogue, and proved, forgive
 His gain is loss: for he that wrongs his
 friend
 Wrongs himself more and ever bears about A silent court of justice in his breast, Himself the judge and jury, and himself The prisoner at the bar ever condemn'd: And that drags down his life: then comes
 what comes
 Hereafter: and he meant, he said he meant
 you we'll"
 He was not unhappy. His resolve Upbore him, and firm faith and eyermore Prayer from a living source within the will And beating up through all the bitter
 world
 Like fountains of sweet water in the sea, Kept him living soul.
 My beloved, happy is he who has not seen some idol of his own turn to common clay, and, falling from the pedestal of his heart-bright esteem, lie a mass of unclean fragments, tear-touched. upon the dusty earth of loves that are past.
 The bitterest note that comes to us as We make lifes journey, in the morning hours, toward noon, or down the sundoyn way, is the verberation of our trustful hail to friendship not in trusted friendship an- swered back; and no other emotion of our spirits is so chilling and so killing as the shiverng that comes of a once hot hand of love touching our own open palm of goodwill and frankness if frost had met the breath of noontime in Junetime amongst the roses of the summer
 Naught else so sickens the soul and dark ems the day, or makes blacker the night, as the cold blank wall of indifference and negation builded across our way and barring us from the side of some one we have loved and in-whom we have believed, some one whom we have cherished as our own and whom we have trusted in the full and fair freedom of affection.
 Nothing within the compass of our at- tachment, within the wide and ever widen ing circle of our lives and our loves, is so mournful as the vacant pillar of our esteem which devotion had builded through the nights and the days of the years, and from which infidelity and base purpose of be- trayal have removed the image that our faith had carved and placed there in conh- denee, in pride and in joy
 Accursed is he who betrays friend
 
 Upon all men and all women who betray the trusts of spiritual inter-communion, the honest faith of mankind, there rests curse that nothing can lift save repent ance and spiritual and physical penance, and these are so seldom forthcoming that 1t may be said that the curse is with all the army of betrayers that is marching in broken, ragged and disreputable ranks 10 that immoral valley of skulls wherein no flowers shall ever blow and no honest wo mans prayer shall be ever heard. The man who betrays any womans trust stands adjudged the guiltiest of the guilty. the creature of every virtuous woman's yoiceless scorn and the human reptile of

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 A woman can never be punctuai except by being ahead of time.
 A woman's way of resisting being kissed is lot like the way she scolds a man for experimenting her.
 If men had been created without stom- achs, no philosopher would ever yet have invented the idea of eternity.
 What woman can't get out of a man by sticking roses in her hair, she can generally get by crying on his shirt bosom

it has been at any time during this sea- son. Predictions are freely made in New York that the farmers of the South will average ten cents pound for every bale of cotton sold this season. They will cer- tainly get this if they hold their cotton and refuse to sell at any less price
 It is beginning to look as if politics in Birmingham will soon assume healthy state. I am glad to see that in a measure the selection of candidates for local offices is being taken out of the hands of beat meetings and local conventions I am also glad to see that it is becoming the system here to vote direct for candidates for pub lie offices. The contest for chief of police, particularly, is healthy one. In this elee- tion, which occurs on the 31st of the pres ent month the people vote direct for a chief of police. Such action will bring about a healthy condition of public affairs, and will in all probability lead to the selection of the most competent candidate. With the people interested in this matter it is prac- tically a sure thing that they will see to an increase of the police force, and that the taxpayers of Birmingham shall receive that police protection which they are en- titled to.
 
 What is the trouble with the young men and the alleged young men of Birmingham? And especially with the Morris Hotel bach elor crowd? Only one of this congregation of a score of handsome, wealthy and wise bachelors has managed to enter the matri- monial state in the past several years Yet the attractive young women of Birmingham are marrying. There have been several weddings this winter, and in the social columns of this mornings issue of the Age Herald two announcements of approaching weddings are made. The successful aspir- ants in both cases, as in several cases of recent occurrence, are from foreign states. The young bachelors of Birmingham will have to be up and doing, or else they will get left or have to go to other sections, where they may not be as well known, in search of wives.

BoWLEo,s CRITICISM OF AUTOS.

From the Florida Times-Union and Citizen.
 Billy Bowlegs, the Seminole Indian chief, who is in town, was taken for a ride in an automobile yesterday by Dr. Perry, and he was shown the city from a different view point from any which he had ever before seen. When asked what he thought of the auto" he replied:
 Him fine; he beat horse, but him no do to go hunt with.''
 During the entire ride he sat as-stiff if he was a wooden figure, and simply ac- quiesced or dissented with a nod or grunt, as the case might be.
