things were sold-maybe something
else might be offered.
i did not go near the court house
where the polls were opened-but on the
day Of the primary the men were going
and coming-despite the fact, that it
was fine day for blowing. Candidates
were in reaching distance-and every
fellow was as busy as a bee in a clover
field. I said to myself why do we not
adopt and enforce the Australian ballot
system in Georgia? Then there could be
no confusion on election days. The
voter could enter a booth and mark his
ticket according to his choice, put it in
the right place-and then come out, with
the secret in his own heart. 1t always
did look like serfdom when men would
take a ticket already fixed for him, and
go an vote it like a very bond slave.
I guess there will be more pulling and
hauling votes about in Georgia this
year than has been seen for sometime
Four year terms are very attractive to
the greedy candidates. With four years
ahead of them-of fat salaries (and no
uneasiness as to where they are to
come FROM will be very satisfactory
of course. Some one of these days when
Equal Suffrage prevails-as 1t will sure
" come-we will have polling places in
the most respectable places-and there
will be no liquor on the outside and the
bride giver and bride taker will be very
quiet and scarce also.

THE SABBATH.

BY SIT GuWdEu 5u4WSE
Fresh glides the brook and blows th'
gale,
Yet yonder halts the mill;
The whirling wheel, the rushing sail,
How motionless and still!
six days of toll, poor child of Cain,
Thy strength the slave of want may
be,
The seventh thy limbs escape the chain
And God hath made thee free.
All, tender was the law that gave
This holy respite to the breast;
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave
And now thy wheel may rest.
But where the waves the gentlest glide
What image charms to lift thine eyes
The spire reflected on the tide
Invites thee to the skies.
To teach the soul its nobler worth.
This rest from mortal toll is given;
Go, snatch the brief reprieve from earth
And pass a guest to Heaven.
They tell thee, in their dreaming school
Of power from old dominion hurled,
When rich and poor. with juster ruler
Shall share the altered world.
Alas! since Time itself began,
That fable hath but fooled the hour,
Each age that ripens power i'm man,
But subjects man to power.
Yet on one day In seven, at least,
one bright republic shall be known;
Mans word awhile hath surely ceased
When. God proclaims his own!
six days may rank divide the poor,
Oh, Dives. from the banquet hall;
The seventh-the Father opens the door
And holds his feasts for all.

Acts 10:1-23. ..---...
Golden Text-"There is no distinction
between Jew and Greek; for the same
Lord is Lord Of all, and is rich unto all
that call upon Him." Rom. lo:12.
Did it ever occur to you why Peter
did not stop at the house of Dorcas,
but went to the house of Simon, the
tanner? 1t is possible that friendship
had grown up between them on account
of the similarity of their names. Some
times God leads us into the way of
His will through some such steps as
these. The prime reason was that
Peter needed an enlargement of vision.
The business of tannery was regarded
as unclean by the Jews on account of
the handling the hides of animals.
Peters presence in this house was the
first step in Gods plan of opening his
eyes that he might have a world wide
vision
THE CHARACTER OF CORNELIU@
OF CEASAREA.
But God had another part in His
plan. When Cornelius was ordered to
leave Rome and go to Ceasarea, he
probably regarded it as one Of the hard
ships in a soldiers life. Cornelius was
a man of position. He was pious, pay
ing, prayerful and prompt. He was the
captain of an Italian regiment staA
toned in Ceasarea for the purpose of
keeping order amongst the subject ma
ton of Israel. He had found in that
city something better than his heath
en- religion offered him, and so he had
been observing the times Of prayer and
had been giving of his aims to worthy
causes for the support of the syna-
gogue, etc. He paid and he prayed un-
til God answered him and told him
that his prayers and his aims had
come up before Him. 1t has been said
that you can give without praying, but
you cannot pray without giving. The
two go together in every honest Chris
ton life. Some peoples prayers are
never heard because they are so stingy
Cornelius was accustomed to obedi-
ence. He expected his orders to be

Dear Household:-Just a few lines
this morning to tell you chicken
cranks how to manage hawks. Make
a paste OF flour and part the feathers
on the back Of their head, put a lit
tie paste, and then put as much strych-
nine as will lay on the point OF a small
blade OF a pocket knife and little
more paste and pull the feathers over
II well so the chicks can't see the
paste (as they would naturally pick II
off and poison themselves) and the
hawks don't need but one. 1 haven't
lost but one since put 1t on, but
can't eat fried chicken. L am very
careful about strychnine. I am in a
closed room when I put It on the chicks.
Hoping this may cause many hawks
to die, I will say adieu.

HELP FOR BELGIUM.

The Daughters OF the American Rev.
olution are sending out little flag to-
kens. which they ask the members to
sell at cents each, and the money is to
be devoted to the starving poor in Bel
GUM. The commission claims that they
can get sufficient food Cbought at whole
sale prices) to feed each famished child
per day for the small sum Of cents.
These flags are not allowed to be sold
cheaper and that seems little enough
when we think OF their manufacture
and the postage. etc.
Anyone who will send a nickel, can
get a package Of the little flags from
&C. A. B., 100 Broadway, New York
City," and can then sell them out at
Z cents each. returning the cash to the
same office. 1t is small thing to do,
but many things are successful with
small efforts. The New York Tribune
has printed some verses, which is "a
stirring call for the charity, to those
starving. homeless Belgians, large and
small. II you choose send little mOney
