Loving Counsel.
Waste no time in sad repining
Tor a past now dead and gone.
Long not in your blind impatience
For some hour that is to come;
Rather use the present better
Doing all the good you may,
Then will come no vain repentance
For a wasted yesterday.
"Count your blessings'' and be happy,
Every heart must bear its cross,
Every life has its own sorrow,
Those who love must suffer loss;
Waste no day in idle grieving
O'er life's discipline of pain.
For our loving Father careth
And no prayer is made iu vain.
Walk by faith; work in the present
What j'our hands may lind to do.
Strength for every day is given
As life's journey we pursue.
Waste no tears o'er future trials,
Simply trusting, tlo your best.
Courage comes for each occasion
Do your part, God does the .-est.
Makgaket Scott Hall.
The Youn? Man's Manners.
Society asks little of a young man
except to behave well. If he be
manly in looks, if he has a good man
ner, is civil to his elders, if he has
any little gift of entertaining any
"parlor tricks" if he sends a few
flowers occasionally, looks pleasant
and is polite, his way will be smooth
to success always providing that he
is really a gentleman.
He never joins her on a thorough
fare unless the friendship is an es
tablished one and only with her per
mission norwill he stand and con
verse with her.
It is provincial to walk "sand
wiched" between two women. In
public conveyances a man does not
pay a woman's fare unless he is her
escort, except in an emergency, when
he must ask if he may. Introductions
are rarely made in public places or
conveyances.
A man precedes a woman when
entering atheatre or public place.
In a church the lady goes first. He
may precede her up a public stair
case, but in a private house in ascend
ing and decending he follows.
Iu picture gallaries, elevators iu
public buildings, hotel and theatre
corridors, they being thoroughfares,
a mau retains his hat. In a hotel he
removes it if women are present.
If a lady bows to a man in a res
taurant he rises slightly from his
seat in acknowledgment. When he
is witha party, if a lady with her es
cort stops to speak to his friends he
rises and remains standing until she
passes on. He also rises if a man is
introduced to him when with a stag
party.
In making afternoon calls a man
usually leaves his overcoat, umbrella
or stick, hat and gloves in the hall
before entering the drawing-room.
He may, if he choose, carry his hat
and stick into the room at a first or
formal call, if it is to be very brief,
except at a reception. lie removes
his right glove before offering to
shake hands.
He never offers his hand first, but
waits the invitation of his hostess.
If she is behind her tea-table, she
may not rise to greet him, but grace
fully includes him in the conversa
tion, and perhaps bows her adieus.
A woman never accompanies a man
to the vestibule, but takes leave of
him in the drawing room. It is no
longer customary to press one's guest
to call again.
The lady always gives the invita
tion to call. A man must not go be
yond an evident pleasure iu her so
ciety by way of suggestion. Some
times a woman friend will exert her
self for him. The sooner the call fol
lows the invitation the greater the
compliment. A fortnight is the usual
interval.
Remedy for Bad Boys.
Folks who have bad boys that they
can't control and don't know what to
do with, can ponder these instruc
tions found in the 21st chapter of the
Book of Deuteronomy:
IS. If a man have a stubborn and
rebellious son, which will not obey
the voice of his father, or the voice
of his mother, and that when they
have chastened him, will not hearken
unto them;
19. Then shall his father and his
mother lay hold on him, and bring
him out unto the elders of his city,
and unto the gates of his place;
2(J. And they shall say unto the el
ders of his city: This our son is stub
born and rebellious; he will not obey
our voice: he is a glutton and a
drunkard.
21. And all the men of his city
shall stone him with stones, that he
die. So shalt thou put evil away
from among you, and all Israel shall
hear and fear.
If these regulations are followed
there will be no demand for a refor
matory for youthful criminals.

A Good Cough Medicine for Children.
"I have no hesitancy in recommend
ing Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy,"
savs F. 1 Moran, a well known and
popular baker, of Petersburg. Va. "We
have triven it to our children when
troubled with bad coughs, also whoop
ing cough, and it has always given per
fect satisfaction. It was recommended
to me by a druggist as the best cough
medicine for children as it contained no
ooinm or other harmful drug." Sold by

A IIP ON IGXOUAME.
The Georgia Philosopher Writes of the
Schools and Papers.
Sixty years ago there was some
excuse for ignorance; we had but
few schools in this southern land and
not a dozen newspapers in the state.
There were not half as many read
ing books in all our town as I have
now in my small library of 400 vol
umes. In our schools we had a blue
back spelling book, Smiley's arith
metic, Murray's grammar, Smith's
geography and the English reader.
To master these was considered a
good old field education. I have on
my shelf a copy of that same old En
glish reader. A good lady sent it to
me not long ago, and I almost wept
over its delightful pages for there
is no school book now published that
has so choice a selection of varied
reading matter 'both in prose- and
poetry. I have a letter from an old
gentleman in Florida asking where
he will find a little poem that bis
mother taught him and some of
which he had forgotteu. "It be
gins, he said, "Pity the sorrows of
a poor old man." I do not know
where he will find it, except in the
old English reader. It was written
in 17C9 by Thomas Mass, and was
quoted by Dr. Johnson aud Gold
smith. Both loved the pathetic, and
nothing more pathetic was ever
written :
Pity the sorrows of a poor old man.
Whose trembling limbs have borne
him to your door.
Whose days are dwindled to the shor
test span:
Ah! give relief and Heaven will bless
your store.
These tattered clothes my poverty be
speak ;
These hoary locks proclaim my len
gthened years.
And many a furrow in my grief-worn
cheek,
Has been the channel to a Hood of
tears.
Oh: take me to your hospital home.
Keen blows the wind and piercing is
the cold;
Short is my passage to the friendly
tomb.
For I am poor aud miserably old.
These are some of the verses, and
in another occurs the line often
quoted :
"A pampered menial drove me from
the door.''
This copy of Murray's English
reader was printed in London two
years before Queen Victoria was
born. It was the text book in most
of the schools when I was a boy,
and from it we got our speeches and
learned how to bow and gesture and
give accent and emphasis. This
book, with the teacher's aid, gave
us an idea of elocution and how to
read impressively, and I wish it was
in all our -schools to-day. We- have
good scholars, but very few good
readers. It is rare to find a preach
er who can emphasize his text on a
chapter or a hymn. Every college,
aud especially every theological sem
inary should have a professorship of
reading and speaking. I remember
hearing an eloqueut divine preach a
sermon from the text, "My siu is
ever before me," and such was his
utterance of that lamentation of
David and such his profound and
solemn rendering of the enduring
consequence of sin, that ail his hear
ers were deeply impressed. "My
sin is ever before me" still ring in
our memories.
I said that sixty years ago there
was some excuse for ignorance, but
nevertheless, that age aud those
schools produced many very notable
men. The young people were eager
for knowledge. A new book was a
treasure in the house, and there
was more time, more leisure, and
Solomon says that "in leisure there
is wisdom." But now the books are
almost in the way. They crowd us
and surround us, and "the cry is
still they come." Young people read
an average of two or three a week,
and forget the contents in a month.
There are magazines in every house
hold, and they contain our-best lite
rature instructive and entertain
ing; newspapers flood the country
by the millions. The. New York
World boasts that it published 240
million copies last year. Every
county in our state has a county
newspaper, and the editor of the
Carrolltoo paper says the children
read a great deal more than their fa
thers did and keep up with the wars
ond politics and murders and sui-
: cides.
Then what is the matter? Bishop
Candler wrote on "The passing great
'men." He never writes anything
j that does not give us food for
! thought, and I am thankful that he
j has not passed. Yet the day of great
! men has passed, not only in Georgia,
j but in all the south. Eloquence in
j the pulpit, the forum and the councils
of the nation forty ana ntty years
ago was our pride and our boast,
when we had among our preachers
such coble and true men as George
Pierce, Dr. Means, Longstreet, Jesse
Mercer, Nathan Crawford, Dr. Tuck
er, Bishop Elliott and Beckwith,
Joseph Stiles, Dr. Nixon, Dr. Gould
ing, and such lawyers and statesmen
as Forsyth, Troup, the two Cobb,
Jenkins, Toombs, Stephens, Johnson,
Walter Colquitt and Ben Hill. There
are twenty names given, and many
more might be added, and it is a la-
j mentable truth that their equals do
I not exist in Georgia to day. This
decay of great men is apparent in
every southern state, and as for the
north, there is nothing there now
but plutocracy who buy their way
into public office and defy trial or
criticism.
The struggle for money is the curse
of the age. It has smothered the
nobler aspirations of our nature.
"Get money; get money honestly if
thou canst, but at all events get
money" is now the motto. The com
mon people want some, and the plu
tocrats want more. The masses of
the people are on a straia. I am one
of them, and I know how it is for I
have been on a strain ever since the
war. It is buckle and tongue to keep
in hailing distance of society. So
many of our class have a rich man's
ways and a poor man's purse that
we have to haug on to the raggI
edge of gentility. There are so many
things uowadays that we are just
obliged to have things that did not
exist in our antebellum days. Our
boys must go to college to get smat
tering of books and a full text of
athlectics. Our girls must go to get
polish and make college friends and
receive visits and return visits after
they graduate, and it takes money
for clothes and money for railroad
fare, and every now and then a girl
gets married and chooses her college
mates for her attendants, and that
takes more clothes and a wedding
present, and so forth, and so fifth
and sixth, and so on.
Oh, my country ! When will this
strain stop? There ought to be a
miser in every family, or a rich old
bachelor uncle who carried a big life
insurance, and would die just at the
right time and leave a fortune to his
impecunious sisters or his nieces!
Why, if I had a good bank account
to draw on, I could write a more
cheerful letter and take a hopeful
view of things and keep calm and
serene; but as it is, I find myself
lampooning those West Point cadets,
and I want those ringleaders
Barry, and Dockery, and Duval
handed down to posterity as the
champion hazers, and their names
put in a catalogue alongside of the
duke of Alva to illustrate human
brutality.
But I didn't mean to say anything
hard about the Tech boys who have
been suspended. I have great hope
for that institution, and admiration
for the manner in which the boys re
ceived their discipline. Nobody thinks
any less of them, for there was noth
ing mean or cruel in their thought
less conduct, and every outside fath
er sustains Mr. Lyman Hall and the
faculty. Of course their mothers
are deeply aggrieved. They always
are when their sons are punished;
that is a natural and beautiful trait
in a mother's character. She clings
to her bo3-s, regardless of whether
they are right or wrong. She is like
a tigress when robbed of her whelps.
I have received several letters from
the mothers of those boys and they
defend them with earnest indignation
One of them concludes with, "Now,
I am the mother of one of those boys
you wrote about, and if you wish to
play Diogenes, bring on your cane."
But we have made friends, for she is
a lady and a mother, and the poet
says:
"A mother is a mother still.
The noblest thing alive."
But I am not Diogenes, and it was
not the mother, but the father that
he caned, and I have not received a
Hue from any of them.

National Capital Matters.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, March 5, 1901.
The Cuban amendment to the Ar
my Appropriation bill, which had
the remarkable merit of being ap
proved as a whole by all the Sena
tors regardless of party, left Mr.
McKinley no choice. He was com
pelled to announce the abandon
ment of his intention to call an early
extra session of Congress. The
amendment leaves nothing in con
nection with Cuba to call an ex
tra session for. But his heart is
true to Banna and the Ship Subsidy
job, and he will not wait until the
next regular session of Congress to
get it through, if any reasonable ex
cuse for calling an extra session can
be discovered.
Much thoughtless criticism of dem
ocratic Senators is heard because
they did not prevent a vote on the
Philippine amendment making Mr.
McKinley "Ruler of the Seas" to
the Army appropriation bill, and
some very ridiculous stories are be
ing told as to why they did not.
Few Democrats who will consider
the situation as it was will admit
the justice of this criticism. It is
perfectly true that the democratic
Senators could easily have spent
the short remainder of this session
in discussing this amendment, which
is unquestionably bad and vicious
legislation. But that would have
thrown the responsibility for the
failure of the army and other appro
priation bills and the consequent
necessary extra session on the Dem
ocrats, ft was not fear that caused
the democratic Senators to avoid
that responsibility, but good politi
cal sense. The Hanna-McKinley
crowd are fairly itching for an ex
cuse for an extra session, because in
the next Congress there will be a
much larger Republican majority in
the Senate, in order to pass the Ship
Subsidy bill and other jobs which
the Democrats have successfully
blocked in this Congress, and the
democratic Senators declined to play
into their hands, knowing that even
if they did so it would only make a
difference of a few weeks in the date
of the act giving Mr. McKinley au
tocratic civil power in the Philip
pines. Iu exposing the viciousness
of the Philippine amendment, which
they did thoroughly, the democratic
Senators did all that could be ex
pected of the minority.
Senator Allen's denunciation of
dmiral Sampson for having written
a letter opposing the promotion of
warrant officers in the navy because
they had not enjoyed the social ad
vantages which he considered re
quisite for a commissioned officer in
the navy was one of the most se
vere ever heard on the floor of the
Senate, but it was fully deserved,
and it is hoped will be an effectual
bar to any further promotion of
Spampson. Mr. Allen said : "If
William T. Sampson is the author of
those indorsements he is a conceited
ass and he ought to be marked down
as such. We are not bringing up in
this country a race of snobs. If 1
am correctly informed, there was a
time when Sampson was no better
than Charles Morgan, the gunner.
He came from no better stock. I
am glad to repeat that we are not
raising in the United States a class
of brass-jeweled aristocrats. If this
rank and arrant coward is to be
believed, the time may never come
in this country wnen a poor coy
may attain to such a position as his
abilities warrant him in holding. I
want to say to Sampson and to his
friends that I am responsible for
what I say." In the House the mat
ter was referred to by Representa
tive Berry, of Kentucky, who said
that Sampson was of extremely
humble origin himself, and whatever
refinement he had obtained was due
to his service in the navy, and Sul-
zer, of New York, who after strong
ly endorsing all that had been said
by Mr. Berry, had read a newspaper
clipping denouncing Sampson, which
he also endorsed.
There was a sensational scene on
the floor of the House this week,
and nothing but blind partisanship
saved Speaker Henderson from be
ing censured by a resolution offered
by Representative Richardson, for
having exceeded his authority by
having a speech on the Philippines
which Representative Lentz has sent
to the Government Printing office,
for publication in the Congressional
Record, under a general "leave to
print" -order of the House, sent to
him instead ef being printed, and
for turning the same over to Repre
sentative Grosvenor, supposedly to
be edited. Jly a party vote of 127
to 115 the House refused to consider
the resolution of censure. While the
matter was pending and the House
was in a great uproar, Mr. Lentz
said ia a speech demanding why his
speech had not been published : "'Is
my speech to be edited? Is Con
gress to have a censorship such as
exists in the Philippine Islands? I
supposed every member had the
right to have his speech printed in
the Record, but my speech has been
withheld by some one." Later the
speech was handed to Mr. Lentz on
the floor of the House, but he de
clined to receive it.
