At last it is a hemorrhage.
At first it is easy to cure.
At last, extremely difficult.

Solitude.
I-ingh, and the world laughs with you;
U ecp, and you weep alone,
I-or the sad old earth must borrow its
mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air,

But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
(irieve, ami they turn and go.
ihey want full measure of all your
pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, ami your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all
1 here are none to decline vour nectar'd
wine.
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, ami your halls are crowded;
rast, and the world goes bv.
Succeed and give, and it helps vou

But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train.
But one by one we must all tile on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

Ambitions.
Ambition is sometimes treated as
though it were a vice, because by an
unworthy ambition the angels fell;
but, as a matter of fact, ambition is
one of the jjreat moving forces of the
world, and proper ambition isareat
virtue. It is, after all, nothing more
than a desire to advance one's self,
but it takes many forms, both as to
its object and as to the means em
ployed to attain the object. The
man whose ambition is wealth and
who is unscrupulous respecting the
means he uses to gain money may
degenerate into a common thief.
But the man whose ambition is suc
cess in his calling may acquire
wealth in consequence of that suc
cess and may be scrupulously honest
in all his actions.
The object of one's ambition is,
generally speaking, a test of its
quality. Some men desire knowl
edge irrespective of the fame or
money it may .bring them. They
are under little temptation to employ
unfair or dishonest means in the at
tainment of their purpose. Their
ambition is honest and may be hon
estly pursued. Others make knowl
edge the means to an end. Their
ambition is notoriety, or fame, or
wealth, and such men are seldom
scrupulous about the means they
emplo3r to accomplish their purpose.
The character of these ambitions is
exhibited even in the miniature
world the school room.
Some pupils work for the prizes
or for class honors. They care noth
ing about acquiring a solid founda
tion of knowledge that will serve
them in after years. Their sole ob
ject is to shine on commencement
day. Others have a high ambition
and neglect the prizes of competition
Thev are studious and attentive be
cause they enjoy their school work
and realize the value of training, and
they think little of themselves or of
their own fortunes. They want to
do good work in their chosen line ir
respective of the rewards therefor.
If those who aim at mere prizes can
win by trickery, they are content;
it is the prize they are after, not the
substance which it represents.
But the man with a worthy ambi
tion could not be content to succeed
except by merit. A prize would have
no value in his eyes if he did not feel
that he had earned it. Sometimes
the prizes fall to those who have
earned them without making them
the object of their labors; more often
they fall to those w ho seek them, and
this may, perhaps, account for the
fact often observed that prize-winners
as a rule seldom do anything
more than win prizes. Ambition is
a most useful incentive to labor; it
deserves encouragement rather than
repression, but it should be a worthy
ambition honorably pursued. How
are we to tell whether an ambition
is worthy or unworthy? A simple
if not infallible test is the relation of
ambition to selfishness.
If one's ambition is altogether sel
fish if the desire is to win personal
prizes, money, or fame, or office, it
is an unworthy ambition; if the de
sire is to do good, to promote the
public welfare, to add to the enjoy
ment of the world in art or litera
ture, to advance knowledge or to
alleviate suffering, the ambition is
most worthy and may bring to those
who follow it the prizes that of them
selves are unworthy objects. To
counsel any one to fling away am
bition is to counsel him to abandon
the incentive to earnest labor. Am
bition should be encouraged, but it
should be the ambition to acquire
knowledge for the benefit it may
confer upon humanity; the ambition
to excel in art for the sake of the
influence of that art upon others;
the ambition to do good rather than
the ambition to acquire something
for one's self, as money, or fame, or
official distinction. Let every one
strive to attain that ambition which
makes them rise above self.

duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about

ARP VISITS ATHENS.
Ami in Order to he Classic Bill (Quotes
Latin and Ruminates.
"Tempora mutantur et nos mu
tamur in illis." am now in Athens,
Ca., the classic city, and must quote
some Latin to be classic too, and
show that I have not forgotten my
alma mater. "The times have
changed and we must change with
them," said the Latin poet 2,000
years ago, and this maxim is more
striking now than it was then. The
changes are more rapid and more
radical. Old Franklin college, with
in whose unpretending walls I walked
and studied and expanded my youth
ful mind, has grown to be an univer
sity and we old men are straining
our minds to keep up with the new
order, the widening of mental and
physical training, which is now of
fered to our boys. Time was when
we thought that Dr. Church and
Professors McKay Waddell, Leconte,
Jackson, Stevens, Hull and Nahum
Wood knew all that was worth
knowing in this sublunary world;
when there was no higher honor
than to be a Phi Kappa or a Demos
thenian orator or to be chosen as a
junior orator of one of these societies.
Time was when to be in love with a
lovely Athens girl was in itself a
liberal education, for they were fair
to look upon, refined in manners and
fascinating in conversation. There
were only a score or two of them,
then, and they had the pick of 1G0
students, young men of the best
families of Georgia and her sister
states, and half a hundred new ones
coming in every year. Just think
of it; what a blessing to girls is the
proximity of a male college or a uni
versity. But by and by there comes
along a female college in the same
town or city and then the boys have
an equal chance.
My visits to this classic city have
been few and far between. I do not
suppose there is a soul living here
now who was here in 1S.'J4, when I
first saw the little embryo city. My
parents and my brother and I stop
ped over night at the old Sledge
hotel as we journeyed from Boston
to Georgia in a carriage. "We went
to Boston by sea from Savannah,
but came back all the way by land
in a private carriage and never cross
ed a railroad. There was none to
cross. My next visit was eleven
years later, when I came to enter
the sophomore class. Two mules at
tandem pulled our little car from
Union Point forty miles to Athens.
There were common passengers be
low and a score of uncommon ones
on top, for they were college boys,
and as such, prefercd to ride high
just as college boys do now. With
what fear and trembling we went
through the examination that was to
determine our fate whether we were
fitten to enter or only fitten to get
fitten. It was a thrilling and mo
mentous ordeal, but we survived it.
What awful majesty appeared in Dr.
Church's classic features and in the
quick glances of his dark and pierc
ing eyes. He was from New Eng
land, and after he came south
married a sister of our Judge Trippe,
a beautiful woman and the mother
of five of the most beautiful daugh
ters ever seen in one family. They
were queenly. These yankee school
teachers all mated with our southern
girls and didn't mind owning a few
negroes any more than so many
horses or cows, especially if they
came with the wife's patrimony.
Old J udge Warren got his that way,
but it cut him off from his yankee
relations. Nathaniel Beman was
another distinguished 3'ankee teach
er, but whether he became a slave
owner or not I have not learned.
My father was a 3'ankee school
teacher, but didn't get any slaves
by marriage. He bought some, how
ever, and that created a coolness
among his northern kindred. It
took those yankees a long time to
acquiesce in slavery unless they came
down south. Old Bill Seward tried
to marry a Putman county girl who
had about a hundred, and because
she wouldent have him he went bac k
north and raised a howl about
slavery. Josiah Meiggs, another
Connecticut yankee and a grandson
of Return Jonathan Meiggs, was the
first president of this college, and
held his place for twelve years. I
think that he, too, married a south
ern girl a sister of Governor John
Forsyth. Next came Moses Wad
dell, an educator of great renown.
Be married a sister of John C. Cal
houn and educated him and Legare
and Pettigrew and other notable men
before he became president. After
that he had for his pupils many of
the great men of Georgia, including
Stephens, Howell Cobb, Toombs,
Johnson, George Pierce and the
Crawfords. And there were giants
in those days. Some folks say there
are just as great men now, but there
are so many of them that they have
become common and do not attract
so much attention.
The poet says, "I feel like one
who treads alone some banquet hall
deserted," and so do I when viewing
these classic halls and meandering
in the shade of these classic trees.
All of my preceptors save one have
passed over the river. All my col-
legemates save perhaps a dozen have
followed them, and if Swedenborg
divined the future state correctly
they are going to school again in
another world. Some of them who
were dear to me have left children
or grandchildren who greet me kind
ly for their father's sake. Fond
memory recalls the Churches, Daw
sons, Ferrells, Howards and Doling
Stovall, whom I loved, and there
was the gentle Henry Timrod, who
was as lovable as a timid school girl.
How often did we see him brushing
the dew from off the upland lawn
alone or taking his eveuing strolls
without a companion, but always
kind and gentle. We little dreamed
that he was even then nursing poetic
thoughts and breathing the sweet
harmonies of nature. Poor boy.
How did our hearts bleed for him
when long after we learned of his
sufferings and his sorrows.
Where now are the solid men of
Athens who gave it character and
dignity as they moved among their
people? Where is Lumpkin and the
Cobbs. the Hulls and Mortons and
Thomases ? Where the Newtons and
Albon Chase and John W. Burke,
whose marriage I attended ? Where
is Dr. Nathan Hoyt and Dr. Reese
and Dr. Crawford Long, the discov
erer of anesthesia? Where are all
the sweet girls who sang in the
choirs of the churches and did not
veil their faces from us as we sat in
the gallery and feasted upon their
beauty? It is said that a song out
lives a sermon, and so those sweet
girl singers still live in memory,
though the preachers' eloquence was
soon forgotten.
And where is old Sam, the janitor,
who rang the college bell and kept
our secrets and brought us 'possum
and 'taters and other luxuries by
night after the tutors had gone on
their grand rounds and all was quiet
on the Oconee? Where is Hansel,
the baker, from whom we purchased
ice cream and cakes for our evening
walks, and where are all the pretty
girls we used to meet or passed on
the way to Cobham ? I remember
that it was here I first saw and
heard Toombs and Stephens, Wil
liam C. Dawson and the Doughertys
and Bishops Pierce and Elliott and
other eloquent statesmen and divines.
These men were my ideals my stand
ard of southern manhood, honor and
intellect, and it grieves me to be
lieve that the standard has been
lowered since the close of the civil
war.
I am no pessimist, but it is easy
to see that methods and means are
tolerated now that were not then
methods in the forum, in the legis
lative halls, in politics, in business
and in the pulpit. But still there is
much good that has come along with
the bad and in every town and city
and community there are more good
men and women than Abraham could
find in Sodom. Athens is still the
central seat of art and learning, of
good morals and good manners, and
the pride of our State, and that citi
zen is not to be envied whose love of
learning and whose reverence for
historic virtue does not gain force as
he ponders upon her history of a
hundred years. B11.1, Ari
Air Castles.
Living in the future is living in an
air castle. The man who says he
will lead a newer and a better life to
morrow, who promises great things
for the future and does nothing in
the present to make that future pos
sible, is living in an air castle. In
his arrogance he is attempting to
turn water into wine, to have harvest
without seedtime, to have an end
without a beginning.
If we would make our lives grand
and noble, solid and impregnable,
we must forsake air castles of dream
ing for strongholds of doing. Let
us think little of the future except
to determine our course and to pre
pare for that future by making each
separate day the best and truest
that we can. Let us live up to the
fullness of our possibility each da'.
Man has only one day of life to-day.
He did live yesterday, he may live
to morrow, but he has only to-day.
Reflections ot a Bachelor.
A man lies to prevent trouble; a
woman lies to make it.
A dowdy woman is as pleasing to
a man as a mush sponge that is fall
ing to pieces.
A woman can always tell man's
failings by the amount of praise he
doesn't lavish on her new spring hat.
A woman will forgive a man all
kinds of brutality if he only pretends
that it's because he is an ardent lover.
The most wonderful thing about a
baby is the way he conceals his shame
at hearing the queer sort of stuff his
mother talks to him.
The ancients believed that rheuma
tism was the work of a demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism
w ill agree that the infliction is demoniac
enough to warrant the lx lief. It has
never been claimed that Chamberlain's
l'ain Balm would east out demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this state
ment. One application relieves the pain,
and this quick relief which it affords is
alone worth many times its costs. For

National Capital Matters.
Washington-, May lGth, 189!.
An extra session of Congress will
be called early in the fall, if public
opinion does not object sufficiently
to frighten Mr. McKinley out of is
suing the call. That is the only
reason it has not been officially an
nounced. It has been decided upon.
but Mr. McKinley wished to appear
to follow a public demand, so the
announcement was deferred until his
friends, who are now talking extra
session in every direction, could try
to work up the public demand.
Ex-Senator Quay is using the
Speakership contest to make votes
for his admission to the Senate on
the appointment of the Governor of
Pennsylvania. That is why the
Pennsylvania delegation is unpledg
ed, and why there is talk of putting
up a dummy Pennsylvania candidate
for Speaker, who the delegation can
pretend to support until Quay orders
them to vote for one of the other
candidates.
Great efforts are being made to
have the Navy Department join in
trying to persuade Admiral Dewey
to come home by way of San Fran
cisco, instead of by way of New
York. A railway company has of
fered to furnish him without cost
the finest special train that ever
crossed the continent, to bring him
from San Francisco to Washington.
The republican politicians are not
disposed to help along this idea at
all. They are afraid of Dewey as it
is, and they don't know what might
happen if he was made the hero of a
series of popular ovations in every
town between San Francisco and
Washington. They would much pre
fer his coming to New York, trust
ing the rest to his modesty.
Representative Payne, of New
York, seems likely to fare badly in
the Speakership fight. Senator
Piatt has promised to force him to
w ithdraw as a candidate for Speaker
in favor of Sherman, and it is under
stood that Henderson and Hopkins,
the two leading Western candidates,
have made a deal whereby their
strength will be combined to nomi
nate the strongest of the two, and
the one who fails to get the Speaker
ship shall be made the Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee and
floor leader of the republicans, a
position to which Payne was ad
vanced after the death of Mr. Ding
ley, and which he would like to keep
if he can't get the Speakership.
Should Sherman win the chances are
that lie would have to promise the
Chairmanship of the Committee on
Ways and Means to some other state.
So it looks as though Payne was
bound to lose no matter who wins.
The Robert E. Lee Monument As
sociation was organized in Washing

Lee upon a site overlooking Arling

women will undertake the task of
securing the money to pay for the

It seems that one of the ways in
which our new possessions are to be
Americanized is to allow them to be
overflowed by Chinese coolies. The
order issued several weeks ago, ex
tending the laws and regulations
governing immigration to the United
States to all territory under military
control, was taken to mean that
Chinese coolies would be excluded
from Porto Rico, Cuba and the Phil
ippines. But that didn't suit those
who were interested in filling those
islands with Chinese and they had
pull enough with the powers that be
to get an official order issued by the
War Department saying that the
extension order issued did not include
that excluding the Chinese.
The gall of the beef contractors is
second only to that of Secretary
Alger. It might have been supposed
that they would have been more than
satisfied to be exonerated from all
blame for the bad beef, which the
report of the Court of Inquiry ad
mits was furnished the soldiers the
report declaring that the beef was
all good when it left the hands of
the contractors agents but they are
not; they are actually demanding
the punishment of Gen. Miles, be
cause he dared, in the interest of the
men in the army, to say that the
beef was unfit to eat. They are
citing the action of the committee of
the German Reichstag which favored
a bill discriminating against Ameri
