Ci? ^jtf einsam aa? ??U%?& WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9. THE FOOL'S PRAYER. 1 he royal feast was done; the King Sought out some new sport to banish care, And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool Kneel now. and make for us a prayer:'" The jester doffed his cap and bella. And stood the mocking court bef ore; They could not see the bitter smiia Behind the painted grin he wore. He bowed his head and beet bbs knee Upon the monarch's silken stool: Iiis ploding voice arose. **0 Lord. Be merciful to rae, a fool! "No pity. Lord, could chance the heart From red with wrong to white as wool* The rod must heal th? sin; bat Lord, Be merciful to me, a fooL *? Tis not by ?ru?t the onward sweep Of truth anti right. O Loni, we susy; Tt* by our follies that so long W*> acid the earth from beaven away. "These clumsy feet, still In the mire. Go crushing blossoms without end : Thcs-e hard, well meanies hands we thrust Arness the heart strings of a friend. -The ill timed truth wo mipht have kept Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung? Tho wotd we had not sense to say Who knows how grandly it had rung? "Our faults no tenderness should ask. Th? chastening stripes must cleanse them all; But for our blunders--0. in shamo Before th? eyes of heaves we fall "Earth'bears no balsam for mistakes; Men exons u the knave and scour^o the tool That did his w?l; but thou, O Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool :M The room was hushed: in silence ros? Th? Kinp:, and sought the gardens cool, And w alked apart, and murmured low, "Be merciful to me, a fool:" -Edward Rowland SiE. Bill Arp Talks of Winter. Atlanta Constitution. The black gum leaves are turning red " ~~ The sycamores are yellow Possums and simmons oow are ripe . And may pops getting mellow. The clouds are running at the nose The winds begin to shiver, By day we want more warmer clothes, ?j might we want more ki ver. I like winter-not six long months of snow and ice and howling winds but about three months of decent cold weather interspersed with Indian sum? mer and spare ribs and home made sarisage and oysters and partridges. lt is just cold euough here in North Geogia to brace a man up and make him step around lively. We have got the climate on our Northern Brethren, and that is something their money eannot buy. If it would they would have had it all now and been peddling it around like a patent medicine-Warner would have it bot? tled up? and advertised? and be seling it back to us as adulterated for a kidney cure. Our climate is the best harbinger of peace between the sections. They have got to come down Lere to enjoy it, and they will mix up with our people and many, and give us a cross that will harmon? ize things all ronud. I had a gcod long letter yesterday from an Ohio man, who says he had to come South a few years ago on business, but lie found a kind welcome and go jd people and before he knew it ?ell in love with an Atlanta girl and married her. His kindred and friends were as -rnuclr horrified as when a Gentile marries a Jew, but they soon got reconciled when they made her acquaintance. Ile says he is a Re? publican because he was born and raised that way, but -he talks up for the South, and these are a good many who would do the same thing if the bread and butter was not on the other side. "The newspapers wave to the bloody shirt and weep for the poor negro, and that keeps up the ; bitterness, aod it looks like it will never stop. The wealthy people are -most all Republicans and their work? men must vote that way or be dis? charged. If I lived down South I j wi>uld be a democrat, for the same i season that I am a Republican up north There is nothing at stake be- j tween the two parties, except the i offices and the spoils, and as I have j no expectation of either, I prefer" the j pariv whose people I like best soc"- j ally" Nov/ lhat man does not believe there ; is any "peril to the South in the elec j tion of Harrison. Ile has inherited j his politics just like he did his reli- j gion, and can't change it. The ; fi caters and vagabonds wi!; change for \ a little money, but among respectable ? people it takes deep thought and moral \ courage to make a change. Bescher, i changed and Cockling:, and the Har-: ?. O' pets, but with all their influence there ; were but a handful who changed and . came over to Cleveland. The press and ? the pulpit, and society are against it. and a common man is not going to butt against all these. From al! ac- ; counts it looks like Cleveland's luck : was in peril and the Sou'!) may be set | back where she was a few years ago, ! but there is no gcod sense in worrying : about what we cannot help. It is l mighty hard 1 know to take every? thing as it conies and be calm and serene. The good book says, "Fret not thyself because of evii doers." That is good philosophy, but the niau who wrote it 'retted a gcod deal him? self. . .Moses netted, a<i? so did Solo? mon and Jeremiah Abraham said, . "Few and evil have beet: the days of the years of my pilgrimage." I ex pcet he fretted a good deal. Preachers | fret just like the oilier people. 0::r preacher told us not long ago of ?ti ? ancient king who cali"d upon an ?>M philosopher to give him a maxim er motto that would be a comfort in every affliction, aed the old tuan wrote on a slip of paper: "Even til i s shall pass away." And so I am goi?g to q-iit wor ry ing about the election. Of course I want Mr. Cleveland elected, for he is an hoi:est and true man, but suppose he is not, I reckon the work will just roll on and so will this great govern ment. If Harrison is elected it is noth? ing but a lil tie fester arel i'm uot going to squeeze ii before it is ripe, it will pa-?3 away of itself maybe. There ? are enough good people North and South to keep the train on the track. If the Republicans get ail the offices j J reckon they will be satisfied. When ; they get in power audget to plunder- I ing the treasury in the good old way, I tli^y will be sweet as sugar, and we will i??>ar no more of the poor nigger ; for several years. And we will hear ito more of tariff nor of a war with ; Johnny Bull. What a "ridiculous ! tmisr," both parties have made of that i tat i?t" busit,eS3. I thought that tLc i ?noc?ais were going to do some- j [erful in the way of a reform, ! bill was cut and j tole reduc- i before. A great big little thing wasn't it ? The Democrats said to the farm ' ers, "Oh we are going to do something big for you. .We are going to cheap? en everything that you have to buy." I thought that Rowland, who runs my i farm, would get a pair of two dollar I blankets for a dollar and a quarter, and a dollar pair for fifty cents, and a pair of trace chains for a quarter and a good wagon- for fifty dollars; but every? thing will be about the same whether theMi?ls bill passes or not. The Dem? ocrats-started out in Mr Cleveland's line as bold as a lion, but they took the back track, and now it's tweedie dum and tweedie dee, and how that surplus itv the treasury is to be deple? ted and kept down nobody knows. The Mills bill won't do it. If they don't divide it out among the States I 1 dont see how the money will ever I get back to the people from whose j pockets it was taken. I wish they j would divide it out among the States every year. Then Georgia would get about five millions and we could send our children to school all the year round and pension every inva? lid soldier and soldier's widow in the State, and pay our taxes besides. The South is all right anyhow ; she is coming, lo the iront again in her material prosperity. Her towns and cites are building np wherever I go, and they can't build up without the country does. I was at Ameri cus and Dawson and Lumpkin last i week and was astonished at their ! progress. Within the last two years ; Americus has built water works and j gasworks and an ice factory and two ! compresses and an eil mill and two railroads and nearly dmbled her popu? lation. Colonel Hawkins has built a road 105 miles long in the old fashioned way-built it on money j subscribed and paid-built it for ! less than five thousand dollars a j mile and equipped it. The energy and brain of one man did it, and it is as independent as the whole Termi? nan system. Dawson is improving, too and farmers of that section are j doing better than ever before. Lands j which 5 years ago were dull and stag I nant at two dollars an acre now sell readily a ten. I was amazed at what Captain John A. Cobb told me about the bagging trust. He is an exten? sive and prosperous farmer, and said that the farmers made more ou bag? ging than anybody else. That wheu they sold their cotton at nine cents a pound they got twenty per cent more for their bagging than they paid for it. Well, then, I don't see what they are making such a fuss about. I thought they'were mighty nigh ruined, and the pine straw bag? ging was a desperate remedy and the last resort. But "even this shall pas3 away," and so let us not worry nor borrow troubie. Let us uot cross the bridge before we get to it. Not long ago a little girl whose father lived bjr a creek heard grand mother say with a sigh that her time was most out and she would very soon cross the river Jordan. Sike a sweet little philoso? pher she said: "Well never mind, grand-ma, I reckon you will find a foot log there." There are h?ls and valleys, high mountains and deep ravines, but geography says these are not to be considered as marring its perfect symmetry, for they are no more than the indentations upon the surface of orange. Peace of mind and peace at home are bigger things than the election of a President. BILL AR?. The sun was io total eclipse in some places in this country on the 6rst day ? of January. This has cot occurred OD j 1st January in two hundred years. I The conference of Northera and ; Southern Presbyterians which bas been j in session io New York for a week past, I has adjourned without reaching aDy ! definite conclusion ; another conference ! will be held on the 24th of April. ; A national convention of colored Catholics was in session in Washington last weis the first of thc kind which ever assembled in the United States; soletan high mass was celebrated by Father Talton, of Quiney, Illinois, the only colored Catholic priest in the I'uited States ; the sermon was deliv? ered hy Cardinal Gibbons, nearly all of I the delegates greeticg him and kissing his ring. AN ORPHAN.-..What is aa orphan?" asked the teacher of the class in defi? nitions. Nobody seemed to know. .'"Well, Fm an orphan." said the j teacher, seeking an illustration that would ?ot reveal tee much. At thi-' a hand poop^t.' up and the j owner of it exclaimed, "An orphan is ' a woman that wants to get married and ! can't.''-Editor's Dratcer, in Hatter's I Magazine for January j A "Wonjan*** l?:>cov<'ry. 4:.A:: ;''.:er wonder! ui .;i.-e >\e- y has been sande j :iT ?; ::>;tr. r.,.. hy ;.
