PRESS AND CAROU1N LAN . MARCH 30, 1893- 8 Choosing a Calling. Find out early what nature designed you to be whether a lawyer, doctor, preacher, trader, or mechanicand strive assiduously to qualify yourself for the discharge of the duties of your calling. Be careful not to ke a hasty impulse, a shallow temporary' liking, for a real lent or deep love for a vocation; and, on the other hand, when yon have pursued any business for some years, and found that it has many difficulties, trials, and perplexi ties of which you bad not dreamed, do not hastily abandon it for another thus throwing away most of the knowl edge and experience acquired with the expectation of finding your path way in the Litter strewn with roses without any thorns. All callings that are worth pursuing are alike in this that not one of them is easy. Only after repeated failures following the most earnest and persistent efforts to succeed should a change be made. Remember, too, that those kinds of business which pay best in the long-run are the slowest in beginning to yield a return. Success in them is like the growth of the aloe for a long time slow and imperceptible.; For years you perceive no change; then all at once, when the time comes, there is a crisis, and it shoots up a stalk ten or fifteen feet high, hung with innumera ble flowers. Stick, then, if possible, to your chosen calling, lest it be said of you, as of a character in Owen Meredith's "Lueilc." "With irresolute linger he knocked at each on Of the doorways of life, bat abided at none; Hi course by each Mar tbat crossed it was set Ad whatever he did he was sure to regret' Harper's Young People. KaMer Sunday. The Easter music at the Episcopal church .'promises to be- very fine, as there will be assistance from other choirs; at the evening service, 4:30 p. m., about thirty voices will sing. In the anthems, of wh'ch the following are the principal, there -will occur so los, duets and quartets: Christ our Passover, ScJiilling. Te Deuin Laudamus, Kingsbury. See now the Altar, Faure. Gloria in Excelsis, Bucl:. Fill the Font with Roses, Warren. lie lives in Ecstasy, a trio for ladies' voices, given by the St. Cecilia Society Gloria from Twelfth Mass, Mozart. Nunc Dimittis, chanted by four male voices. Offertory solos both morning and evening, by Mrs. E. Chadwick. Colonel Tkornton.' Hon. Marcellus Thornton, once pro prietor of the Atlanta Post-Appeal, but more recently a coal king in Ken tucky and Tennessee, is in Atlanta shaking hands with his old friends. Colonel Marcellus has recently scoop ed in another newspaper, but it is not true that he contemplates running for Congress from North Carolina as has been charged. He says his political ambition was a youthful heresy. At lanta Herald. Hon. Marcellus Thornton, who was years ago one of Atlanta's prominent journalists, but who is now living on the laurels and money he has acquired by his hard and industrious work, is in the city. Mr. Thornton aeserted newspaper work for a while and went to coal mining. There he added to the fortune acquired as a journalist, and disposed of his mines. He left Jellico and went to Hickory, X. C, where he purchased a beautiful home, intending to pass the rest of his life in quiet. But in less than a year the fever of journalism came over him again and he purchased the Piikss and Carolinian which he has made the best weekly newspaper in North Carolina, or any other state. Like all his journalistic work, the paper was a success from its start, Atlanta Constitution. Colonel Marcellus Thornton is in the city mingling once again with the friends of his bygone days. The Colo nel, having disposed of his extensive coal interests at Jellico, is now living at Hickory, N. C. He enjoys the distinction of recent lv renouncing, voluntarily, the honor of going to Con gress. Atlanta Journal. Farm life may often, seem dull, and tiresome in the busiest seasons, but it is far less so than it used to ' be. Books, newspapers- and magazines come as easily to the country farmhouse as they do to the city home. There is, too, on the average, as much reading at least by farmers as there is by city business men. What is read is gener ally more carefully pondered. The farmer is at work with nature all the time. Insensibly he gets into the nabit of noting the hints nature gives. This makes the farmer more philoso phical in his liabits of thought than are the average of men engaged in occupations that niickeii and sharpen the intellect by contact with men, but do not broaden the mind, as commun ion with nature is sure to do. Ex. " The meanest thing we have heard of lately, was the act of some contempti ble sneak, who stole into a garden Tuesday morning and robbet! it ol the choice spring flowers, Which a widow and her daughter had patiently nursed for an Easter offering at their church. It is the same soulless wretch, proba bly, who has leen carrying flowers off from graves in the cemetery. Such of fences are punishable as larceny, and we hope the thief will soon be exposed.

George Smith Uvalde, Texas. HAKESPEARE What Mr. Smith Thinks He Would Hare Said About Hood's Sarsaparilla " Ilad Shakespeare lived hre and suffered as I have, I think ho would have said. Throw away all medicine except Hood's Sarsapa rilla. As an Englishman, coming to this , climate, I have felt the heat very much. In the spring I felt as if I had all the care and anxiety of America on my mind. I pot one bottle of 1 food's Sarsaparilla and after I had taken it I felt as if I could undertake The President's Duties. Last month I had a return of prickly heat; It seemed impossible to stand up or lie down wittiout almost tearing myself to pieces. I then got one more bottle and it has not only curea thereat but I believe it put my blood Hood'sXOures in good condition. I advise all to take Hood's Sarsaparilla in the sprlng and fall."
