o BILL ARP Xiike a Ch.ess Game gress or Decli: Atlanta O A nation's progress or its decline is like a game of chessboard, and we all play our parts. The king is a kind of divinity, to be idolized and protected, but is helpless and always in peril. Cleveland was a king, but got check mated and bad to retire to private life. The bishops on the cbessboard represent the church, which is a great power in the land-a moral power that makes but little noise and attacks iniquity in high plaoes and sweeps the board diagonally from Maine to Mexico. The knights are the politicians and statesmen whose movements are right oblique and left oblique, overleaping precedents and proprieties. They have no straight lines nor light angles, but are always dodging around and shifting their course to suit the chang ing situation. They require a great deal of watching, The castles are these rich old fellows who carry the money bags and buy the nation's bonds and heap up their interest and fight the income tax. But after all it is the little bumble, unpretending pawns that master the situation and control the game. They move straight forward and but a step at a time, but their phalanx is solid and irre sistible when marshalled by a master hand. They are the common people the masses. The game of a nation has no fixed movement. It is never played twice alike, and its results are unknown and uncertain until they have transpired. Harrison was once, a king, but was checkmated and now there are none so poor as to do him reverence. Fate, chance, circumstances and providence all take a hand in this game. What prophet or seer or statesman could have foretold to us the present unhappy condition of our country ??How long will it last and what will be the result? Is the war drifting into a war of conquest? Will we have to take Cuba for pay and per haps the Philippines and will we an nex Hawaii and will the republican party father all this imperialism and officer the new governments and per petuate their power with patronage? Or will Bryan and Cleveland coalesee and combine against such a dangerous policy and demand the voice of the people upon it? I was delighted with Mr. Cleveland's utterances on this war business. It may be a political key note, but he is on Bryan's line about acquiring territory and the Monroe doctrine and he speaks boldly and with no sign of "inocuous desue tude." He deplores the allurements of war to our young men and declares j that even victories are demoralizing to a nation and quotes from Generals Grant and Sherman to prove it. A leading paper says that these utter ances from Bryan and Cleveland will make the next presidential issue and th&t the silver question will be ignored in the national platform and that the democrats north and south and east and west will have a great love feast and sweep the country. As old man Baugh would say we will all know by waiting and that is all] that we little pawns can do. I wish that something would happen to stop this shedding of blood-this rieh man's'gwar and poor man's fight, 'for that is what it is. Mr. McKinley says he is daily expecting a great and very bloody battle. Oh, the pain, the agony, the horror of a bloody battle with these? modern engines cf destruc tion. There {have eight young men gone from {[this town and hundreds more from the State and thousands from the south-gone like they were going to a frolic. Already many of them are demoralized and have lost all regard for the laws and all respect for womankind. Thc good people of Walker county are paralyzed with fear of the soldiers-our soldiers whom we eall our patriots. And so it was at Griffin and at Tampa and the other places. There is enough trouble and grief at home in times of peace. Old father Time keeps cutting our good people down and strewing our homes with tears. The other day he took from us a good wife and mother without any warning and now the light of that home has gone out. Nobody knows the desolation of that hearthstone save the bereaved husband and the heart-broken sons and daughters. How weary and longing are their days -how sad and lonesome are their nights. This good Christian woman has for years sat near us in the church and was one of its props. We were always glad of her presence and her smiles, and if we miss her accustomed welcome what must be the loss to those who shared her sunshine, morn ing, noon and night? But Mrs. Cal houn had passed the meridian of life and was more of a companion than a mother. She had reared her flock and reared them well and was ready for the call. How much sadder is the death of a young, hopeful and happy mother. When I was a lad I had a I bow and a bunch or' arrows and was ? S LETTER. A.rp Likens the !Pro ae of a ISTation. institution. proud of my skill in using them. OD day I was aiming at a bird that was singing on the garden fence when my father called me and said: ''Don't, shoot-don't shoot that bird, my son." He came to me and in tender words told how he had found that catbird's nest in a tree at the corner of the garden and there were young birds in it, and he said: "I think that this very bird is their mother and she feeds them all through the day and sings because she is so happy. If you should kill her what will become of her little ones? Who will feed them when their mother is dead?" I have never forgotten that lesson he taught me. When I read of Mrs. Clark Howell's sad and sudden death my first thought was, who will feed the young birds now, for no one can nestle them like a mother. How lost and helpless are little children when their mother dies. What Christian faith must we have to be reconciled to the will of God and to trust them to His watchful care. But the promises are multiplied over and over. Our Heavenly Father is the God of the widow and the orphan. Even with those promises, the death of a young mother is the saddest thing in this troubled world-and only providence can give consolation for it. His tender care of orphan children is the strong est proof of His love to man. For. sixty-three years George Muller trust ed Him to provide for the orphans in his asylum in London. He began with twenty and died with 2,100 under his care. As their numbers increased his means increased arid his buildings were enlarged and his accommodations improved and every want supplied, and yet he never had an endowment nor an annuity, nor did he ever know to-day what money he would have next week. The money came gene rally from unexpected sources and in varied sums, from a shilling to ?500. He says in his diary "I never had too much nor did I ever have too little, nor did I ever feel the slightest appre hension that God would fail me. The orphans were His and I was but His agent and my text in my prayers was 'open thyi mouth wide and I will fill it.'" When Muller died, a few years ago at the great age of ninety-three, the orphanage was costing near $200, 000 annually for its maintainance, and the money kept coming in. He never sent out a Circular and never asked a man or a woman for a dollar. He went to God. That orphanage proves two things-that God cares for the orphans and that He answers prayers. Wm. T. Stead of The Peview of Reviews has written a most interes ting character sketch of Muller in the May number. If any one is skeptical or unsettled upon this question of prayer let him read it. Our own Dr. Jacobs, who founded the Clinton orphanage many years ago, has had a similar experience on an humblei scale. He never refused an orphan for the lack of funds. The funds increase as their numbers increase and, like Muller, he keeps on enlarg ing the institution, and the money grows with I his wants. Providence is behind it all. BILL ARI?. A Temperance Story. Deacon Johnson is a great tempe rance man, and sets a good example of total abstinence as far as he is seen. Not long ago he employed a oarpenter to make some alterations in his parlor, and in repairing the corner near the fireplace, it was found necessary to remove the wainscoting, when lo ! a discovery was made that astonished everybody. A brace of decaiters. a tumbler, and a pitcher were cozily reposing there, as if they had stood there from the beginning. The dea con was summoned, and as he beheld the blushing bottle he exclaimed: "Wal, I declare, that's curious, sure enough. It must be that old Baines left them there when he went out of this 'ere house thirty years ago." "Perhaps he did," returned thc carpenter; "but. deacon, the ice in the pitcher must have been frize mighty hard to stay so till this time." - Mertie-I am going to marry a man who draws beautiful pictures. Gertie-That's nothing. I shall mar ry a man who draws a pension. - It is a shame to have a lot of stock and half feed it. The man who thinks that stock which can hardly live through the winter will be worth anything in the spring, needs to have a guardian, says The Ploughman. Mr. H. A. Pass, Bowman. Georgia, writes: "One of my children was very delicate and we despaired of rais ing it. For months my wife and I could hardly get a night's rest until we began the usc of Pitts' Carmina tive. We found great relief from the first bottle." Pitts' Carminative acts promptly and cures permanently. It, is pleasant to thc taste, and children take it without coaxing. It is free from injuiio-'s drugs and chemicals. Hill -Orr Dru? Co. NATE AND MATE. The Love That Two Splendid B?rsen Had For Each Other. "I never waste affection upon a horse, " said the dealer. "They care nothing for their master or their homo or each other. All they care for is their fodder." "They are not all like that," said a lady who was looking over the fine lot from the west, with the in tention of making a purchase. "I remember an elegant pair of Mor gan horses, Nate and Mate, brother and sister, owned in Northfield. Mass., when I was a child. They were raised in northern Vermont, and when they were first brought to Massachusetts they were sold to two different men, but they were so homesick and balky that they were of no use until Mr. Eastman, an in telligent farmer, divine^ the trou ble and purchased them^oth. "They worked or drove nicely in double harness, but one day Mrs. Eastman, having occasion to drive to the visage, had Mate harnessed to a light buggy and asked my mother, who was a near neighbor, to accompany her, Mrs. Eastman's two children staying with my brother and me while they wero away. "No sooner was Mate out of hear ! ing than Nate began to call for her, first with low, soft neighs, then [ with plaintive whinnies, and at t length with loud squeals. We cb.il ! dren were attracted to the barn by i his frantic cries, and, as none of the men was about, we tried to quiet him by giving him tidbits, but it was of no use-he plunged about until he broke his halter and escaped into the yard. Fortunately wo had sense enough to shut the strong gate, and, iu spite of his wheeling and plunging about, he found him self a prisoner. Then such an ado as there was 1 He pranced around and across tho yard, and his calls for his mate were like terrific shrieks, we children watching him from tho roof of a low shed, where we had climbed so as to be out of the way. "At length, after one of his calls, he listened with his head in the air, and, going to the side of the yard toward the village, he stretched his j neck over the fence and called again. I This time, away to the northward, I we heard a faint response. " 'They are coming!' said my brother. 'Mate is answering. I can see the dust 1 I can see them 1 Mate is running I' "That was the fact. Nearer they came and nearer, the beautiful white horse on a straight run, the two mothers in the ligint buggy helpless and terror stricken, hold ing the reins, but making no effort to control the seemingly uncontrol lable horse. But as Mate approached the house she slackened her pace, turned decorously into the yard and trotted airily up to the gate to re ceive her brother's welcome. "Those horses fairly kissed each other in their delight, and of course they were utterly unconscious of the desperate fright they had given the two ladies, who sank down on the green turf and sobbed with thankfulness at their escape. " 'We could no more control the creature than wo could control tho wind," said my mother. "The mo ment she heard Nate's cry she took the bit in her teeth and settled down into a run. Of course I knew the harness was strong and the buggy safe, but I was afraid of meeting a team or that she would make so short a turn into the yard as to up set us. ' "Meantime the two horses had re covered from their excitement and were standing in great contentment. Mate was nibbling grass and pull ing up great mouthfuls and holding them over the fence to share with her brother, who took them deliber ately from her mouth. '" 'Is not that beautiful?1 said my mother. 'Their love seems almost human' " 'Yes,' said Mr. Eastman, com ing up, 'but it is an unreasoning love and might be the means of do ing much mischief. I think I will put them into the brick teams, where they can pull continually shoulder to shoulder and be happy.' "This was done. I often saw the beautiful creatures plodding away and was thankful that there was no dangor of their being again separat ed."-Our Animal Friends. An Ks 1;iiim Legend. Among tho Eskimos, the angakos or sorcerer who would visit .Sedna, tho goddess who lives underground or in the depths of the ocean, pre siding over ono of the countries to which souls go after death, must first pass the arsissut-the dwellings of the happy dead-and then cross an abyss in which a wheel as slip pery as ice is constantly turning round. Arriving at the house of Scdna, lie finds it guarded by terri ble animals, sometimes described as seals, and sometimes as dogs, and when within tho house passage he has to cross an abyss by means of a bridgo as narrow as a knife edge.
