BILL AS]?* Ruminations of the Georgia Philosopher. Atlanta Oonsiiiution. The harvest has begun. The harvest sun is shining by day and the moon by night. Oar Bart oats that were sewed in March have come in ahead of the wheat, and are now falling before the cradle blade. It is a charming scene. The good old-fashioned way is not a bad way after all. I've got a reaper, and shall use __JLt in the low grounds on the wheat, but the everlasting rains this spring made too many little rats and furrows on the upland, and the cradles are better. The machine jolts and bumps around so that Ralph could hardly keep his seat. Bat the oats are good. I have never seen a better upland crop. Carl and Jessie fol? low along in the wake of the cradlers and tie up their little bundles, and when they get tired of that they pile them into doz? ens and Bet them un into shocks, and are proud of their work. What a pity it is that we can't all make play of our work. How fond the children are of trying to do grown folks' work. Carl wants a lit? tle cradle to reap with, and thinks he could do it splendid, but it mo?t kills him to take a bucket of water to the field. That sore on his foot where-he snagged it on a nail hurts awful bad then, and he limps all the way to the spring and back, but he can trot to the dewberry patch or the mulberry tree as lively and gay. as a colt in the meadow. Grown folks are that way too. I've known some mighty nice girls -to get tired and most broke down cleaning up the, house, and cook ing, and sewing, and the like, but they could wake up to the music that night and dance till the rooster crowed for morning. We can all do what we want to do7aixd":We"go '? it'With alacrity^It is easier to (go to a picnic, than it is to church." But labor and toiT has a sweet reward. We will never reap if we do.not so**. The harvest that is now at hand is one of the great lessons of life, for our ? life is like a field and our years like the acres, and our months and weeks and days andv'minutes are the roods and rods and yards and "feet which; subdivide the whole. Some portions are well sown and tended and some are not, but a good man will make an average crop. We may fail here and fail thtire, and have our lit? tle sins and weakne*ees, but at the last a man must be measured by his Average crop. Character is not made or lost in a day or a week, but it takes a life and we can never write a true, epitaph until the life is closod.and we write it on the tomb. :. But a few days ago . the fields were beau fifully:green^nd.thegtafn bent ite. proud head gracefully before the gentle breeze and seemed conscious of its life and health and consequence. It reminded me of a man in his prime moving to and fro upon the earth acquiring wealth or fame or pleasure, and all unmindful of the reaper. But soon he ripens and must fall ahd'make way for another crop. If the proud head has borne frujt, golden fruit, it is well, and his mission in life is - accomplished, but if clogged and tangled and corrupted with cheat and cockle and smut and rust and brambles the crop is a failure and ough11o have been "cut down while it was green. ~ I had" worked Tfard* all the morning helping Mrs. Arp to take up her carpets for the summer. The hay and dust That was under had to be swept up ever so geatly?yes, gently?that was the word v?ie' used-h"gently, now, William ; you are raising the dust, and it will be all -over the bouse. -Don't be in each a hur 'ry^-gentlyi'*1 T go't it all up after a fash rion and put out of the window in the wheelbarrow, and put the carpets on the fence <eady for beatiag, and then I took her long handled broom and swept the walls, and the ceiling, and the corners, and behind the pictures, and then onr ehunk of a darkey brought .water and washed up1 the floor's, and the 'girlsj worked on the bedsteads - with. kerosi ne and turpentine and corrosive" sublimate and rit poison and .damnation powder, and 1 don't know what all, and this ..morning wheu my .wife was making up ?her b(.*d and lifted up the corner of the mattress-and discovered lone of the big gest, fattest ones you ever saw, and her heart sank down within her and she re? clined on a chair in dispair. I was sorry for her, I was, for the pesky varmints are .her . eternal horror, and if I was rich I would build her a bran new house and fill-it with-, bran new furniture, all made .. of china wood} or camphor wood. I care "nothing about' these silent perambulators myself, and it has been hinted to me on more than one occasion that it is because I am tough and old and alligatorish, which.I reckon is so, though I do know some Women whoare no spring chickens themselves. But I do suffer from the varmints anyhow, and have my sleep broken, for sometimes I have to get up in the night and help search for them, and when found I assume a theatrical attitude and exclaim in the beautiful language of Mr. Shakespeare: "flow now, ye secret, dark and midnight bags 1 What is it ye do ?" Well, I took Mrs. Arp down is the low land wheat this evening, where it is thick and green and tall, and I explained to her all about wheat being first in the boot and then in the milk and then in the dough, and as we walked along in a . .water furrow. I said, that it reminded me of the old song of "Coming Through the Rye,f that I would change it a littlefand say "If a body rfeet a body coming through the wheat, And a body Iba a body, wouldn't it oe sweet?" And' she smiled and said the rye of the poet was not a field but a rocky branch named Rye, and the lassie was wading through it when her lover met her on the' rocks and kissed her. So that knocked all the poetry out of the sitoa-tioo/and I said no more on the subject, but I've. ;j seen the day when that- wheat field would have been as good a place for.tiie busi? ness as a branch, and if anything better; While we sauntered aloDg old- Bob White was .whistling to his loviqgmate, and. we talked* over the daysJ6f^bur ch?dh?od, when we used to follow the reapersin the field and get the partridge eggs from the nests and' have a big frolic over them when they were boiled, and how we caught the young rabbits in their nest, and how everything was so fresh and bright and rosy, and now how serious ana earnest 'everything had become. Such is life.and We cannot help it, and I don't want to help it. \No matter how old or how poor, there is some happiness for us all if we will find it. The trouble with most of us is we search for it too far away?away off yonder somewhere when it is right near us. Yes, within our reach, if we will only see it. "Carpe diene," says the poet?"enjoy the day." Enjoy to-day and every day as it comes, and don't let old father time cheat us out of a moment. '. Bill Aep. ? A St. Louis girl married a man on fifteen minutes' acquaintance', because she knew if she waited until she knew him better she'd never have him. ? Of the 557 locomotives turned out by a Philadelphia establishment in 1883 no less than 151 were exported. In this line of manufacture America is beginning to successfully compete with England. .?. A curious fragment, which will be of. interest to-.ladies, has been recently unearthed and published in France. It appears that in 1770 the following parli mentary decree was solemnly passed and duly registered under King Louis XIV : "Whoever, by means of red or white paint, perfumes, essences, artificial teeth, false hair, cotton wool, hon corsets, hoops, shoes with high heels, or false tips, shall seek to entice into the bands of marriage any male subject of his majesty, shall be prosecuted for witchcraft, and declared incapable of matrimony."? Tablet. Short Talk With the Boys. ? 1 ' *" f N BY M. QUAD.*' J "Come, now, let me "ask you a few questions. What is a locomotive ?" "Why, it's a machine which draws the cars." "What is an engine?" "Well, it's another :machine to'run mills, boats, factories, etc." "How wide is a railroad track '?" . . "Oh, five or six feet." "What is the weight of a flat car ?-" ? ? "I dunno." "What is the cost of-an ordinary pas? senger coach?" "Never heard." "Ah, my lad 1 I just wish I was about 14 years old, and had the chances yon are throwing away." "What would you do I" "Why, I'd post myself. For one thing I'd walk down to the depot and when a locomotive brought in its train and went off to the round-house to be wiped up, I'd follow it and find ont how it was made. I'd have a peep at every lever and crank and cog and wheel and rod. I'd know why and how steam exerted its power. I'd" satisfy myself why that boiler mounted on wheels was able to pull and push. When I left the round? house I'd go.to a.factory.and overhaul a stationary engine and see where the two differed. Then I'd get hold of some railroad man and pump him until I was posted even as to the quantity of oil used to run a locomotive a hundred miles." "Why, what good would all that do me?" "Why ? Because a born fool has just as.good eyes as.you have. He sees a train speeding along the track, and be. realizes that it is a train. That is all you realize, although you have every chance to know more. 1 don't say that it will be money in your pc ^ket to know these tbi ngs, bat it will be a satisfaction to you which money cannot buy. You never expect to visit the Cannibal Islands, but their location, number, -products, area, etc., are given in geograpnV to post you and broaden your mind. "One of the grandest. business of the age is railroading. Go down to the Union depot and count the trains going out and coming in for an hour and you will be .amazed. Every one leaves on time?"* every one comes in almost to the minute, barring accident. If it were not so the business of the entire'country- would soon/all into confusion., The train which is due in Ghitagoat 8 6'clockFa. m., or in Bullalo at ooon,. :or in Cincinnati at 2 p. m., must be there to the minute if nothing breaks down. Passengers expect it?the po8toflice officials, banks, mer? chants?everybody expects it, and all business arrangements are made accord? ing- t VI . : ?:: ..."Have you any.idefiwf tbfc millions of money required to build, equip and run a railroad ? Have you ever asked your? self how many locomotives, coaches, cars and men such a road as the Michigan' Central mast keep constantly employed? Did you ever figuie on what a fortune it must cost'each year toy keep up/all this rolling-stock, track, stations, tanks, etc., etc. ? And think of the perfect system that prevails in all the departments! No train leaves the depot until the gong strikes the exact minute, and from the time .it leaves here until it reaches its destination it is under the watchful eye of the train dispatcher^and aJHte jn^pve ments are "known tErougETbTteiegraph. Go down to the depot at 11 o'clock a. m. and ask the train dispatcher where the train is which left for the West three hours before, and he will locate it. , "Every conductor has h'is brdeni. -'''He must run by these until the telegraph makes a-change.- There -ia a continual click! click 1 of the telegraph all "along the line, and if there are fifty trains-on the rails each one makes its run without bothering another. There must be a perfect system, and'men must obey orders to the very letter. ; "Bide the length of a railroad and you see piles of rails here, heaps of ties there, old car wheels and scrap-iron by the acre, and yon must imagine that great reck? lessness prevails in the financial manage? ment. No corporation cuts ' expenses closer than a railroad. . Every tie is counted?every old car wheel has its value?every hundred pounds of scrap iron is looked after.

People talk about the position of Presi? dent of the United States as if it de? manded great ability on the part of the incumbent.

The mind is a Wok in which there's always room for another page. Did you ever take a common door lock apart ?" ? "No." ''Then youdb not know that a bit of a brass spring is the hidden mystery which works both catch and bolt. Without this insignificant trifle, costing less than a penny, the lock, costing from thirty cents to a dollar of itself, would be -only so much old iron. You have opened and shut a pocket knife thousands of times, but it never occurred^to you that a spring, acting on a different principle, holds the blade shut or open. : ,t?o?see a paper banger at work, but you are ignorant.of the fact that he must begin his work in one cornorof the room 'by"aplamb line'or he will not make a good job of'his papering. You can't tell whether a horse shoe is put on with six or.ten-hails. You never counted the spokes' in the wheel of a wagon. You never counted the bricks which a hod carrier can shoulder up the ladder. You don't 1'now whether a cow has teeth iu both jaws or only in one. You don't know that a blundering Detroit lad teu years old carelessly put together the pat? tern of ice-tongs now used all over the country, and let man steal his idea away and make a fortune out of it. If he bad been an observing boy hejvould have seen and realized the value of his' action. He went about picking up sods and stones, and. when offered ten cents for his crude tongs he let them go with the feeling that he had made a good thing." ? Friday night Mrs. Christopher Schreiver, of Albany, N. Y., aged 33 years, while temporarily insane, cut the throats of four of her children with a razor. Their ages were 7, 5, and 3 years, and 9 months. The heads of all were nearly severed from their bodies.. The woman seized her nine-year old daughter in her arms and ran down to the railroad track, where she seated herself on the rail and waited for a train to kill her and her child. Mrs. Schreiver's body was found in a fearfully mangled condi? tion, her head, both legs, and one arm having beon cut off. The girl's left foot and her left arm above the wrist were cut off. She was horribly bruised, but was conscious when picked up. She e-ud she could not get away from her mother, who threw herself before the cars,2and that the locomotive struck her (the child), and she was thrown from the track, her left foot and arm falling across the rail. The child died next morning. The fa? ther, a German blacksmith, is nearly crazed with grief. Tho couple lived happily. The woman's insanity is said to have been due to the loss of a savings bank book representing her husband's savings of $293. They Didn't Fight. : .A veteran newsdealer of Washington give's *?Be following" about a duel which was once anticipated between Martin Van Buren and Henry Clay: It was be fo"e Van Buren was elected to the Presi? dency?when both he and Clay were in ?rthe Senate. One day he and Mr. Clay had some hot words in debate, and the word went forth among Washington goE "sips that a duel would be the result. That night the matter was discussed over tea tables and in the hotels, and it was expected that the duel would take place the next'morning. Some even went bo far as to give the names of the seconds, the weapons and the place of meeting. When the Senate opened the next day there was a great crowd at the Capito'. All the galleries were filled and overy eye was strained in watching the door aud seats of Clay and Van Buren. As the President's gavel fell neither was present, and the spectators were sure that the duel was going off. A moment later, however, Mr. Clay came in and took his jseat, the chaplain prayed, and still Van Buren was absent. As the ameu was said, Mr. Clay arose, turned slowly around, and walked down the aisle. As he did ho, Van Buren, dressed in his usual white duck suit, entered the door. The galleries held their breath. Mr Van Buren reaching out his hand, said: "How do you do, Mr. Clay 1" and Mr. Olay tak? ing it; replied: "Very well, Mr. Van Buren; and you look well, too. I wish you were as white on the inside as you appear to be on the outside." The audi? ence at this saw there was to be no duel, and the galleries were cleared at once. The meeting Bad been arranged by Clay and Van Buren, in order to show the people there was nothing in the rumor. ? The longest word in the dictionary is "disproportjonabfeness." Killing Made Easy. In the time of Napoleon it was esti? mated that it took 600 bullets to be fired in battle before a man was killed; in other words, every Jead soldier repre? sented his own weight in lead. But the recent improvement in firearms hixn added to the efficiency of the soldier. The greated range of the rifle, as well bs the rapidity with which it can be fired, has made it thirty-two times as effective as the old smooth-bore. To put it more accurately, a military authority says that the modern rifle is superior to the old I smooth-bore in the following particulars: It is eight times more effective in accu? racy, two-thirds greater in range and penetration, five times greater in rapidity of aimed fire; while the weight of the cartridges per man has diminished, yet the number that may be carried has been increased. The added efficiency of the heavy guns is no less surprising. The famous Krupp now makes a gun of nine inches caliber and eighteen tons weight which will send a ball through twenty inches of solid iron ; and his field-gun, within a range of more than a mile and a half, can be depended upon to put every projectile into a space of less thau two hundred square feet. Taken into consideration the breech-loading, rifles, better power, improved projectiles, the lighter carriages of steel, the science of artillery has been revolutionized; aud oue battery to-day is more effective than twenty of those so skillfully handled by the great Napoleon. In the next great battles some dreadful engines of destruc? tion will be brought into play. The Hotcbkiss revolving gun can fire burst? ing shells at the rate of eighty a minute. It can pour out a continuous and deadly fire of seventy-five pounds of metal, or 1,200 hits, every sixty seconds. It is fea rful to think of the havoc which would be caused by the guns of the future.

The generally approved way to keep them out was to plug up the keyholes and stop the cracks with cotton. Notwithstanding these preventive measures, the evil things had their own way and often came in as they pleased. So comes malaria now-a-days. T We try to keep it out of the keyhole and it comes in by the crack. We stop up the crack, and lo! it comes from a leak in the plumbing, or an opening from some neglected drain, or from some unsuspected source and unguarded direction. We cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give it battle and drive its effects from our systems. If Brown's Iron Bitters is taken in time, malaria has not a ghost of a chance.

Out of i Jaws of Dei, The gentleman who outlines his case below Is a man considerably advanced in life, and is noted for his sterling Integrity. His Postotiice is Yatcd vllle, Upson County, Ga. The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1SS2 I was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I bad consumption and would probably die. Dr. Hnlloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re? st ?? r. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After tak? ing two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opin? ion. Dr. II. promise-i me that he would write to the manfacturers and tell them of the wonderful euro it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881, while scwiigonthe machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain ia her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs aud a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. Tlie atlcndiag physician told me that he thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain tha most delicate nourishment on her stom* ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopcl"S3. Dr. Uolloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last icsort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it ou her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. Wo have a family of Bix children, some of them grown."

Your most valuable medicine (Swift's Specific) has done me so much good that I feel like saying this for the benefit of those who suffer like I did. I was poisoned by poison oak, and saw not a well day for six years, until I used Swift's Specific. In the six years 1 used almost every kind of medi? cine, but none had the desired effect. After using six bottles of Swift's Specific I am restored to perfect health?with not a sign of that awful poison left! Yours truly, DAVID NESBITT. POISON OAK I had for thirty-eight years suffered every spring and summer with Poison Oak, which I contracted in bathing when a boy. I tried everything for it, including many phvsicians, but without any benefit. I took six bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. 8.] four years ago, and it cured me. sound and well. Three summers have passed, and I have had no return of it. Joseph Beasley, Columbus, Ga. Remarkable Results. I have had remarkable success with Swift's Specific; have cured severaL cases permanently in a very short time. One case whidh I am now treating was given up to die, and after using three bottles is so far recovered that I think one more bottle will cure her. The most remarkable case of all was a lady with medulary caucer of the womb, for whom I had no hope whatever. After using one bottle I am satisfied she will soon be cured. J. WYLIE QUILLIAN, M.
