If the good man does grow
Old what cares he for the pasaatf e
of time? If there is a better mu
sic to be heard, if there are lar
ger opportunites to be embraced
may he not be grateful for the
hurrying years which can not let
him loiter, but bears him swifr,
ly on to the next chapter in the
drama of life, Time reckoning
is simply a convenience, nothing
more. The seasons change from
fruitage to snow, and are easily
made into the landmarks which
assists the memory. The earth
plunges through space, it is now
in the dark and now in the light,
t and we speak of yesterday or
yesternight. It. keeps its even
course about the sun, and when
it rea3hes a certain station in its
journey, we speak of our natal
day, and with a hand clasp for
neighbor aud friend hope for a
joyour future. Time is only ouc
unit of that eternity which i
every soul's heritage. So if we
use it we need give no thought
to its passage. Let it conic, let
it go why should we give it a
thought? Not even age can b
counted bv vears. We are not
so many yeais old but so much
experience old. Age is not dis
covered by wrjnkles on the face
for one may be young in heart
and old in body. We have seen
the. tottering --man of eighty who
was still a mere child so ;ar as
the deep things of the spiritual
life are concerned, and we have
seen the youth of twenty who
had passed through most of the
experiences which a long lite
affords. Time has therefore
nothing to do with the soul, and
though you reckon a man's sum
mers and winters, y6u can not
guess his age' for that is a se
cret with him and God. One of
our natural inclinations is to
view life only from the stand
point of the body, and we get
only a very limited view of our
selves. We cling to the days
and weeks, with the tenacity of
the miser who hoards his dol
lars.f But there is a higher nd
nobler standpoint, and from that
we get a prospect which charms
dazzles and even oppresses us
to the verge of tears. We mean
the standpoint of the immortal
soul that mysterious something
whose wings are hidden in the
flesh, but which, when the chim
ing bell of death ring out its
release, will soar into the upper
air and never rest in its flight
until it has found the heaven
from which it was taken at birth
We should be glad when that
time hurries us from one year to
another, that the way to be trod
is shortening and that in a few
more summers or winters we
shall be invited to a banquet
where the loved and the lost will
bid us a hearty welcome. But
haste and thoughtfulness must
see the golden gates in the dis
tance and on the far away
hill tops the cloud of witnesses
who haue7guided us on our way
and will take us by the hand
when we wake from slumber.
The heart need not beat like a
muffled drum, as though we were
sorry to leave these lower scenes
for if we are right minded we
shall keep step to the echoing
music of a better world and be
more and more glad as it grows
louder because we are getting
nearer the everlasting home.
Our religion makes us content
to live and ready at any time to
exchange life for immortality.
THE OYSTER QUESTION.
It is to be regretted that what
to do with the oyster can not be
settled, and settled for good, and
not come up every two years in
the General Assembly. As long
as this condition of affairs exist,
no capitalist will lake stock in
the industry. A few years ago
we in the ea?t thought the leg
islature had settled the oyster
problem; the State purchased a
pittrol boat, oyster factories
sprang up in the several towns
and the industry promised to be
..me of profit to our citizens, aud
to yield a handsome revenue to
t.he State and the public school
fund. But in this the people are
disappointed and the bill intro duced
into the General Assem
bly prohibiting dredging, opens
ip afresh the entire oyster prob
lem. We believe we state a fact
when we say, the unanimous
opinion of onr people is in favor
o dreding in certain limitations,
namely, in ten feet of water and
more. In water of this depth
and more, it is impossible to use
tongues, in fact as one experien
ced cysterman informs us. that
tonging can not be. carried on
profitably in water that is over
six feet deep, and the oysters
contained in the water beyond
that depth are wasted, unless
dredging is allowed.
This being true we believe it
is only necessary to acquaint
the members of the Legislature
with the true statement of the
above fact to have Mr. Davis'
bill defeated and drueging con
tinue.
La Grippe Successfully treated.
" I have' just recovered from
the second attack oi la grippe
this year," says Mr. Jae. A.
Jones, publisher of the Leader
Mexia, Texa?. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and I think
with considerable success, only
being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the
former attack. The second at
tack I am satisfied would have
been equally as bad as the first
but for the use of this remedy
as I bed to go to bed in about
six hours after being 'struck
with it, while in the first case 1
was able to at end to business
about two days before getting
down.'" For ale at Tayloe's
