Is it not so much what you say As tin; manner in which you say it; It is not so much the language you use As the tone in which you convey it. "Come hero!1' I sharply said. And the baby cowered and wept: "Coino here!" I cooed, and he looked anil smilcil. And straight to my hip he crept. The words may be mild and fair. Ami the tone may pierce like a dart; The words may be soft as the summer air And the tones may break the heart. For words come from the mind. And grow lv stud" anil art: Int the tones leap forth from the inner self. Ami reveals the state of the heart. Whether you know it or not Whether you mean it or care Gentleness, kindness, love and hate, T.nvy and anger arc there. Then would you ipiarrels avoid. And in peace and love rejoice, Keep anger not only out of your w ords. But keep it out of your voice. Carelessness and Fortretfulness. The usuul excuse of a child for neglect of duty is 'T forgot."

Care Liver ueeulator. j , " , , ., , u'ssiit'ss anu iorgeiiuinpss are grave faults in children, which ought to be corrected lest they grow into habits. They are grave faults be cause they represent a selfish dispo sition, heedless of the wishes of those who have a right to direct, and one so absorbed in selfish thoughts and aims that all other things are forgot ten. The boy forgets to perform some allotted task because he is at play and his mind is concentrated upon his pleasures. He is careless about his manner of doing work be cause he is thinking of something else and anxious only to be released. His faults in this respect, though they may be trivial in themselves, ' have within them the seeds of a char ; a-ter dominated by self. Apart from ' its moral faults, such a character is not fitted for a successful career. J Notable exceptions to this rule ' may be cited because many men of ! great fortune, (which is one of the i measures of success.) have been in tensely selfish, exhibiting no sympa thy with their fellow-men in the fierce struggle for riches and power. Hut there is in the career of such men usually some choice association which has given them an opportun ity to advance themselves by force. The individual, as a rule, has no such opportunity. He cauuot elbow his ; way to the frojit, but must depend not only upon his own persistent en ; deavor, but upon the amiability of those with whom he comes in con- tact, ine seinsn uoy , wnose .-eabsn-ness has made him careless, heedless and forgetful, seldom gets a suftici ent start to make his selfishness of service to him. He is an indifferent or worthless employe, and for that t t it ,vason 1S denied promotion. If giv en me power 01 piaee, ne migui au vance himself by disregard of the rights of others, but it is only rare cases that an unscrupulously selfish boy or man can advance himself through the earlier stages of a ca reer. At this period promotion is through merit, or supposed merit, except in rare cases. The boy whose selfishness renders I him careless or indifferent acquires a bad reputation with his employer, j The latter does not stop to examine i the matter closely; he does not seek ! to learn why his employe does not I attend to his duties in a satisfactory I manner. It is sufficient for him to ! know that for some reason this em ! ploye is forgetful, another attentive, j this one careless in his work, the i other particular to do everything i well and in the interest of his em ployer, vwtti sucti Knowledge ne discharges the careless boy or leaves him a '"hewer of wood and drawer of water" and promotes the boy who has demonstrated that he is zealous and painstaking. Throughout, the whole course of the formative period of a young man's business career this process of election goes on, with the result that the boy or man who has been established in habits of care lessness and forgetful ness, through his selfishness, is so handicapped as to be beaten in the race. It is, tl ere fore, in the interest of the child to prevent the formation of such habits which may be regarded as, at first, alternately the results of selfishness and a potent force for the develop ment of selfishness. Discipline of some kind should be employed to ad monish the child that he must re member w hat he has been told to do and must do his work well, as other wise he will be thinking all the time of his own plans of enjoyment and grow up not only careless and for getful, but selfish. The great high road of human wel fare lies along the highway of stead fast well doing, and they who are the most persistent and work in the tru et spirit will invariably be the most successful.

A few broken remarks by Senator Carter has cost the State about ?3, 000. The Senator never would have made them if he had been a Demo crat. His motive was not so patrio tic as it was partisan, but maybe the investigation of the charges against the two judges will do good in the long run. They have been ac quitted, as they should have been, but still they will no doubt be more prudent and circumspect in the fu ture. There was sufficient evidence to humiliate-any sensitive man, and no doubt these men feel it so, and will hardly claim is as a very tri umphant acquittal. The judges of courts have been generally a very high order of men, but after all, they are just human, and are subject to like passions with the rest of us; but, because they are in higher position and entrusted with unusual power, the people watch them with a criti cal aud sometime with an envious eye. The public requires and expects more of a judge than from a private citizen more learning, more dignity, more patience, more decision of char acter and, besides these qualifica tions, he must be exemplary in his habits and conversation. The com munity must look up to him as a man of purity and integrity the enemy of crime and the protector of the poor aud helpless. In recalling the man- circuit judges whom I have known in Georgia during the last half century, I do not remember one who failed to fill his position to the satisfaction of a large majority of his constituents. Certainly none were charged with incompetence or cor ruption. Party spirit ran high between the v.higs and Democrats before the war. and sometimes one party was in power and sometimes the other, but no charges were ever brought against any judge. His pol itics left him as soon as he got on the bench, and he commanded the respect of the bar and the people.

So could all the old-time jurists Story, Marshall, Pickney, Taney, Wirt, Kent and many others. . It required something more than politics to make a man a judge in the olden time. In the old Athens circuit we had such great j men as okl lorn Harris, diaries : Dougherty, Augustine L lay ton ami Junius Hillyer upon the bench. They j were all classic scholars.and knew the i difference between "noleus volens' aud ''bolus noxious" genuine latin j and dog latin. They understood law i as science and had mastered its fun- 1 damental principles. ' uiciiiai i iuiiuics. -i r , , Nowadays many of our judges who Lve been made out of scheming tliticians are nothing but case have po vers. They have to be re-educated for every trial. Books upon books have to be read to them from both sides, and at the last they go it blind or split the difference and are reversed by the Supreme Court.

He could not altogether sup- i press his zeal for the state and good i mnnik nn.1 ldl.i-t srww.ri fflipn ; charging the jury on a criminal case ' was convincing and convicting if he believed the defendaut guilty. The last court he ever held was at Dallas, and the entire week was spent in the trials of eight defend ants who vere charged with a most outrageous riot and much violence done the good people of the town. The entire community demanded their conviction and punishment. But these fellows had some property and they combined and employed ev en' lawyer in the town and also Col onel Winn and Judge Lester, of Ma rietta, and .ludge William Wright, of Atlanta. These lawyers combined and with the help of one of the court officials stocked the jury on the so licitor and one by one the rioters were acquitted. 0:i Friday the ring leader was put on trial. The judge and solicitor felt absolutely sure of convicting him. It was candle light when the judge closed his charge to the jury and an expressed pity for the people of Dallas, upon whom sev en of these lawless rioters had al ready been turned loose. Finally he told the jury that he was not well, ank if they found a speed' verdict the foreman could bring it to his room at the hotel. When the court adjourned the lawyers got together and chuckled. It was not the same jury, but the cards were still stocked and so about 9 o'clock the foreman came to the hotel and knocked at the judge's door. "What is it?" said the judge. "Foreman of the jury, sir," was the reply. "Well, what is your ver dict, Mr. Foreman?'' "Well, judge, under the law and evidence, we was ableeged to find the defendant not guilty." The judge turned over in his bed and groaned. "May the Lord help us aud save the country. Mr. Foreman, you can keep that ver dict in your pocket, sir, until morn ing. I do not wish to sleep with it in this room. From all such verdicts may the good Lord deliver us.': Dili. A up. Juile Norwood Drunk A train. Munn.e Enquirer. What times we have fallen into!

Special Correspondence. Business during the past week has been restricted in some directions by extremely cold weather and snow storms; but the tendency to gradual betterment has continued to be dis tinctly noticeable. There has been an increase in the industrial output, notably in iron and steel and in wool en goods; and demand for manufact ured products has moderately im proved. Operations as a general thing has reflected actual require ments, but the latter have been larg er and promise further expansion during the coming month. Clearing house returns show increasing pay ments through the banks in the South, on the Pacific coast and in New England. Railroad earnings as yet do not indicate much enlarge ment of traffic: but the situation is improving and better results may be anticipated shortly. Money markets have continued well supplied with loanable funds at easy rates; but speculation in securities has not appreciably broadened. The expectation of a change in the tariff laws has begun to stimulate buying abroad of products likely to be af fected by new duties; but the custom house returns as yet do not show the effect of this movement. Figures for New York alone show that im ports in three weeks in January de creased $14,320,000 and exports in four weeks increased $1,251,000, as compared with those of the cor responding period last. year. Busi ness failures show a considerable de crease. According to R. G. Dun & Co., the number in the L'nited States and Canada during last week was 383, against 474 during the corre sponding week last year. Cotton prices has been steadier, and there has been more demand death in Durham, Monday night, her from home spinners and a better in- j clothing becoming ignited from the quiry from exporters; but specula- fire-place. tion has developed very little anima- j The Winston Republican says that tion.

Exports of corn have continued large and there has been no indication of any slack - ening of demand. Values of hog products have remained nearly sta tionary. There has been a continued liberal movement of hogs to packing centres and no special activity in the distributing trade. A Love-Letter Killed Her.
