Shakespeare says "knowledge is Uie wing with wbicb we fly to heaven," noil oshesven is where we all wish to go, it becomes us to acquire knowledge. Lord Hseon said "knowl edge is power," and so it was n day well speut, for I learned muoh lu ono day at the Teuuessee Centennial— to much that I id going lu return very soon sad take mure time and acquire more knowledge. 1 sometimes think it n great pity that by the time s iusu becomes At id live Ills time is out and he has to die.

Now, for Instance, when we paused to look at some tobacco thnt waa banging rrom the rods lie said: “That tobacco grew un very poor land. The beat tobacco always grows on poor land.” Indeed It seems prortdeulLl that poor land is good for something. The sandy, gravelly land of Gran beriy county, in uortb Georgia, grows tho lincst tobacco lo tho world, and It command* the highest price. The soil is not rich enough tu given n dark color, und hence it |j pain nod alokly. and has the consumption, so to speak. This tobacco grew upon laud that U P*r cent silica—sandy land—poor, white land, us your Bartow county farmers call It—you have lots of it down there. I have seen It, and it can bo bought for u song, hut there Is muro money in ll Uian In your valleys and river loltoms. The sand that Is m Florida soil will make tobacco growing a success there. I havo been experimenting in tobacco growing and curing for years, and known whereof I apeak.

My mind ha* boon tunning • little ou this subject for Che past few dnys. The youngest buy of ray home took a notion he would marry, and marry ho would aud marry be did. He drat gut the oonunt of tue girl, then the* par euta ou both sides aud now ho la mar* rled. God Mid, "It la not good for mao to be alone,” and that marriage in honorable in all meo. And, but for misdeal* or missing connect on* ooruo tlmos, Mieie would be no ild maids and no old bachelor*. I suppose. My mind has bteu running back to the period oterly 28 yeirs ago, when l topk to myself a wife. 1 was just 21 years old. It was lore, oourlshtp aud tnarrlsgt, to begin with. I em sore es I look back over lbs days preeedlng my marriage as I remember events that 1 slsaply wanted a wife. After marilitgo I bad a wife, and I simply wanted everything else, ir my rather or fntb er-lii-law ever presented us with a nickel. i lost it before I got borne. Wo look e ground start, ea the say. ing is. I bad no object In Ilf* aud no ambition In life until after I was mar ried and two children were born Into rny home. All I wanted was a wife I had never thought over the charac teristics of a good wife and the quail ItcaUons ncoeseary to a good wife. Ihoqcestlons a* to qualities, amiabil ities, aiDuitles, never entered my mind; end Burus put It right when h* eaya It Is owing to hioky chenee more than to good maougemcul that Ultra are not really more unhappy marriages than there are • m • Out in lulu these day* can be rem edied bettor than In former dayi. I am fold that in some stales they l«aua marriage lioaaaaa with divorce coupon* attached, which aeema nearly aa ias pect* bio aa Uio case where the husband gave the preacher >5 for preaching Ills wtfe’e funeral. The preacher told him be didn’t charge him anythiug. “Well." said the oft-bereaved mao, “( am In the liablt of paying fh for preaching my wire*’ faoerala." • « ft After all, it la a quratton of adjust ment* and frequently of re-adjoat inents. Very few marriages have ever found ready and perfect adjustment la begin with. Von mey talk ubout •‘mlngHog dew drape on the rose" and “two hearts beating as one." That’* all pretty poetry. Clod says, “This twain shall bo ooe;" but sometimes they arc one hundred when- it oomes to acquiescoco, submission and agree ment. A woman with mettle won’t bo ruD over. A true man will not sub mit to petticoat government. A wo man without mettle is lacking in pedlgreee. A man without manhood lias no pedigree. Common sense aud love and a good a took of religion are llie three beet things to harmonise all wants of ad justment. 9 A good old fathor when upproachod hy a young man who asked the band of Ills daughter hi montage, replied: "Vou cau have uiy daughter, bull would advise you not to take her. Ulie’en typboou.” "Well, laebe i.ol a Christian,” asked the young man, "Yea,” said the old Tatlier. “but. young snin, lUo Lord oan get along with people you uud I cauootget along with.” It takes the three, love, common sense and religion, to bring about the pool’s Ideal of mlugltug dew drop* oo a rose. "Wisdom, justice, and modera tion.” which Is the motto of Georgia, ought to be the motto written In the boarli and lives of every young husband and wife Id thla land. • * • f do not know how It Is with other young men who uke to tbomaslvre wives; how they think and what they propose; but the ynnng man who tikas unto himself a wife with the purpose of lying down on hie daddy or Ids daddy-ln law ought to be rolegali d to Shaksrtown or to the penitentiary. God projected this world on the rool hog-or-die-poor principle, and If a hug It to root or die poor, a man ought to be roads to work or starve. 'Die older I got tbs less patienoa I have of the deadbeats. I'd rather lie a chalngang convict than to lie a dead best anywhere. We frequently heur tho oxpnwsioD. "So-and-so-la getting along well and be don’t do anything; ho don’t work.” I know thla to be true every bite that young fellow takes, the cloth en lie wean and the bad lie aloepe ou costs somebody nmethlug. Some body pays the freight on every pound of goods shipped not only In the rail road world but In tbe actual aital ia uf Ufa.

Tba latter body, ea is customary at the baglnniog of ao administration, bad been called in ex tra session to oosOrm certain necessary nominations of the new executive.

Tlw mom prospect was euffletent to crowd Um kmU’i WBwdeat but when It .was rumored lh#t h.*f fb*»rtts would hava a bearing upon the MW master from Virginia the pabllc lotaiest grew seem intense. Before tho sonata waa called to order every seat la the galleries was token, Uw oorreepoodento' loft was fun and on the floor ot Um chamber bad aattm Ued a large number or member* of ibe boose, who wws waiting la Washing ton to catch tho share of patronage to which they thought their conatltoeuU wcrseotlUed.

Aa aoou as tWs period closed tho senator from aeorgia rose and begun the delivery of a speech, which for power ot invective basseldow been equalled.

That being the case, Mr. Hill, said that no one could doubt the «*• jstone* of a dear Democratic majority In the ecust* without easting an im putation upon tits llonorof at least on* senator. Then be aaktd where was Um nma who deserved such a suspicion. ■‘'Vho,” exclaimed be in a voice that rang like a clarion, "among us is am bjtleo* to be a traitor •»’ This brought Xabone to bis feet aad in sharp, al mod ahrekiog tone, be demanded to kuow if the eenater from Georgia re ferred to him.

Whim tbo oaellgmlloa was complete there went chsers from part of tbe gnet audience nod then a solemn still neie for several seconds. Many sena tors crowded about Mr. Hill to con gratulate blm, and white he was smlllugly renewing tbelr tribute*, Mr. Hoar, ot MaaseehuseUa, rose.
