Life is full of sorrows and they will hare their share It is the com mon lot. One melancholy poet says: "Man was made to mourn." Another says: "I would not lWe always," but I like that one better who wrote 'The world is very lovely. Oh. my God. I thank Thee that I live." From my win dow, almost every day I see two 'little girls, only four and six years old, turning the corner and cornice up through the grove to see grandma and grandpa and be petted and of course, befeasted with bis cuit and jelly and apples and to nurse the cat and play with their little cousin's ne .Paris doll. They always come hand in hand add with clean faces and ribbon ed hair and we meet tbem at the door, for they bring sunshine to our hearts and home. 1 love to nave tbem climb into the back of my big chair and bother me while I write, trnd I have to stop, and draw pictures for them and to hear the the little one call me her good old for nothing gran'pa. The other day I met them going another way and they said tbey were goii g to te j then other grand ma yts. you nave two grandmas, out youbaveut get but Dte grsnipa." The utile oue l(X)ked . up lovingly to uie hna said: "We d n't need any more " IJbought a fine turkey for the boys who are com ing a:.d the little girl surveyed him and said: '"Ga i'pa, be is running at the nose and it's bioody." It was the older one who s id the turkey is sick, I reckon, for ha keeps vomiting. Dean swiliwasa cynic and had nqjove fo children. He said that an author who tilked about bis own books was as silly as a mother who as ever telling some- ihiug about her smart children. I con fes- that it is a eood part of my hapriness no v to mingle wi.n a a to pet tne nine grand children and that is why I feel alarmed f r fear something will happen to them before I die or that 1 will die belore thev eet old euough to love me with a love that will not forget., and I think of Tom Mi ore and his gazelle that died. I don't know where my spirit will be but it seems to me now that I would like to have these littles ones bring flowers to my graves sometimes and talk about me wnat would tne worm De wnnoui enn dren, for ol such is the kingdom of heaven. lust imagine tor a moment the desolation, the despair that wmld per vade the home and society aud trade and mmerce not a dav 1 school in ail the land, nor a Sunday school; not a" lutle shoe or stocking, nor a little hat, nor a a doll or a toy in any store; nocastoria or soothing syrup or infantile medicines; no fireworks, no Christmas or Santa Clans: no nothing haraly. The cynics say that marriase is a failure. Suppose it-is in many cases. Children are not failures Divorces may stine tne love ot man and wife, but tbey still love the children and contend for -the possession of them Good schools bnud up towns and the children make the schools. Country people move to town to educate them. WhatTvould Ibecome of the 4.QO teach ers in the State of Georgia? Who would go to a picnic or a monkey show? What excuse would men lolks have tor going to the circus? Wonldent it be a lonesome, no account world? But marriage is not a failure. It could not be, for it was ordained by God. One or two unhappy marriages in a commu nity sets all the dogs barking. Divorce, are multiplying, but only among the very ncn or tbe drunken poor. Money or whis key are the cause of most of tbem and in nine cases out of ten the man is to blame Poor, longsuffering women. How silent ly secretly and sadly you have to endure what you know, but cannot tell, and all you can do is to hug your children all the closer to your bosom and trust in Cod. -I was ruminating about children be cause I am away off from mine and on my way here I passed a country school house just as the children were piling out for recess and they came like bees oat of a hive. As long as the train stopped at that station I watched them at their merry plays and sports in the pretty grove nearby and I almost wished that 1 waf a boy again so that I might join them. Goedgracious, how I could run and jump and climb and shout; how long and happy was the day. "The sun ne'er rose a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish the night Had borne my breath away." Tom Hood wrote that, poor fellow. I do not say it, for I love to live and have few regrets to distress me. i am acre in Okoloca, a pretty town with a pretty name. This good old state, a daughter of Georgia, is full of Indian names of towns aud counties ana rivers. i nese names are all that are left of the tribes The Chichasaws - and Choctaws and Creeks and Natches. They were a proud and haDDV people, but had to vanish when the pale laces came ana coveiea i their land?. Colonel Gordon, a confed erate veteran, lives here and interested me greatly in the history of Mississippi, lor he and his father before him could say "niagna pars fui" a good part ol it I was." ie gave me tne origin ana meaning of many of these Indian names, such as Pontotoc and Tupelo and Oko lona, and also of Aberdeen, which his father who was a Scotchman, had named Dundee, but got mad because our people would call ltLmndy ana so cnangea u to a name they could not mispronounce. His lather was very wealthy, owning tnous ands of acres of this rich prairie land that he had bought from the Uhickasawi before they signed the treaty that ceded their lands to -he United Stales govern ment. I said that hi father was a na tive of Scotland. - Of course he was or he never could have bought those lands. The Indian tribes all liked the Scotchmen, for thev treated them fairly and kindly in trading and taught them the use of the cross bow and long bow. These Scotchmen frequently married Indian maidens, the daughters of the chiefs, and in course of time their halfbreed children became chiefs, riuch was Ross and Ridee and Mcintosh and Osceola. Major Colbert, another halfbreed whose Indian same was Ittawamba, became chiet olthe Chickasaws. He was a great favorite with Mrs. Dolly Madison, the president s wife, for he was a splendid specimen of Indian and Scotch manhood and was smart and well educated. Mrs. Madison gave him a pair ot peatowis ana ne Drougnt tnem honie and from that pair every peatowl in Mississsippi has descended. This pair was many years afterwards given to Col. Gordon's uncle, Josiah Walton, and by him to his sister, Mrs. Doggett, and the male bird lived to De seventy -two vears old. A par of this same stock has been recently presented to the. city of Memphis for their zoo. I had no idea that peafowls lived to such a great age, but I do know that we have been breed ing them for over twenty years and have given away a great many and I never knew one to die a natural aeatn. But I am tired travel worn, for no hours are mine; they are the railroad's by night as well as by day and my rest is broken up and I begin to realize that I cannot stand it much longer.

THE RELIGION OF CONFU A Lecture by Chinese Hialster ; Wo lie Compares Che Practl eal Teaching orConfacius With Those of Christ. New York, Dec 9. Wn Ting Fang, the Cbinese minister to the United Slates, spoke before the Society for Ethical Cul ture at Carnegie Musical Hall this after noon, on "The Teachings of Confucius." Mr. Wu said in part: "In the strictest sense of the word, Confuciusism is not a religion. It is not a system of doctrine and worship. It is perhaps easier to say what Confucianism is not than what it is. "The immortality of the soul is a beau tiful doctrine, I admit. I wish it were true, and I hope it is true. But all the howa his respect, tells of and applauds his wife's virtues. In China one man Rlrt another 'How is vour honorable wife?' He replies, using some ratner slighting term in speaking of the wife, as for instance: "Jay mean wue, or my wife, is well. W love our wives posM- bly as well as you do and probably refer as much to them, but we do not make a sham of it." . ' SUPT. MEB AXE'S REPORT. I 1 lie Banks Aud The War Tax.

There were four things that he would not talk about extraordi nary thingi feats of strength, disorder and spiritual being. 'How are we to serve spiritual beings?' he was asked. 'When you do.not know how to serve men, how should yon hope to serve spirits? he re plied.- Horace Greeley said that those who discharge promptly and faithfully their duty to those who linger in the flesh have but little time to peer into the affairs of those who have passed away Confucius was intensely human and prac tical. He dd not spend, time speculat ing as to what will happen aner death. . . Ti e minister then c mpare 1 the practi cal teachings of Confucius with those ot Christ. He read a passage from the New Testament directing that evil be not resisted with evil aud that if a man smite vou on one cheek vou should turn the other cheek. Of this doctrine, Mr. Wu said: "This it seems to me is meekness wiih a vengeince. Ian inclined to think that no sensible man has ever fol lowed this injunction iaitniully. A man who will smite you on the cheek is a dan gerous man and needs no second invita tion. A man who takes your coal is a thict and would, doubtless, take your cloak, too, if he could lay his hands on it" " 'Love your enemies. Such a stand ard of excellece is too high for humanity, There is no likelihood that many people will lollow it. At this very moment Chris tian missionaries are calling for bloodshed and yengeance, and Christain armies are devastating the land, sparing r either age or sex. 1 here is a vast gull between doc trine and performance. Could you love one who killed your father, or destroyed your home? Confuciusism does 41 ot re quire such a thing. It enj ins that kind ness be equited with kindness and an in jury with justice. It does not sanction retaliation in a vindictiye spirit, and, as I regret to say, is shown by some persons professing to be governed by the tenets of Christianity.- lhe most striking instance in which the teachings of Confucius and of Christ meet is of the Golden Rule. Contucius put it negatively to be sure 'Do not do to others what yon would not wish them do to you but any one who will lollow this rule, either way it is phrased, will be a thorougly good man. "A good Christian is a good Confucian and a good Confucian. is good Christian 1 do net believe tbat heaven is aa exclu stve place. The advocates ot various religions are all trying to make a private park of it for their Own adherents. What ever heaven may be, I oelieye it is a place ior all good men, irrespective of dogma. The Chinese are eminently prac tical. Coufucius did not run away from the world, but did his duty in it. He teaches men to do good for the sake of good and not for the promise of reward or through any future punishment. lhe world is gradually coming to Confucius, One of the signs is the growth of agnos ticism. 1 will not fay whether people are growing more callous or more civilized. but they are no more terrified when the terrors of the next world are proclaimed Irom the pulpit. - Es trays State Treasurer....

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind.' dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. VThis unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

Says lie parage ion, Philadelphia Dispatch. Wu Ting Fang to-night addressed the members of the Contemporary Club oh "The Chinese View." Instead of dealing with the relations between China fend the Christian nations, as was generallv sup p ed he would, he coufiued himself to tbe social status of theUhiaese as com pared with the people -of the United States. ' Previous t speaking on the sub ject of the" eveuing he referred to the criticisms that have been made on his ad dress before the Ethical Culture .Society in INer YorK last Sunday. He said the reports published were misleading, as they did not give the full facts f his speech and therefore a false impression was created. He had no in tention of attacking the Christian relig ion. His iherae was Confuciusism and to make the cardinal points as clear as pos sible he chose tne best form of religion, Chriianity, for a comparison. ,'Tt v. a-ot my intention, " he said, "to condemn the teachings of Christ. Tak ing His philosophy as a standard should be cpnsidered as a compliment. I desire to explain how Confuciusism was like and how different from Chirtianity. I did not condemn the teachings of Christ. I said they were very noble and very dif ficult for men to attain to some of tieni. "When I blamed Christaius, J certainly djd not condemn their religion. 1 have read part of the Bible and appreciate and respect it, and I never in my ljfeJiave made an attack on Christianity I praise the creed, but I repeat that -some of its doctrine are too high, too. grand, for the mere mortal to follow." ., Speaking on lhe subject ' of . the even ing, Mr. Vu said authentic history of China dated back about 4.500 years. This long continued existence, ; he said, was due to the practice ot the five cardinal re lations of mankind, the relation' between sovereign aud subject; parents and chil dren; ;elder ard younger brother; bus band and wife; friend and friend. All duties are reciprocal. Between sovereign and subject there must be rightousness; between parents and children, affection; elder and younger brother, order and re spect; the whs must obey, tbe husband must protect aud provide; between friend and friend, there must be fidelity.
