ITISA:L!F FO G=, D N OTHERS. R sv. Dr. Taluge ho v..i 1." G ttiig and a Wtity L able F.dlure-Tate Lfro Th : Eternity. In his sermon ._:.i maze discussed a never more timevy t : gle for power. pro::e -,, ness is so aborif e. 14, "What is vc ar i If we leave :, :t " where we came from I' to prophesy where we g - have left for consil ea- u tnl ' fact that we are here.

But Jeremiah says life book supposed to be den and sepulchral and e ? :e he plainly intimates tha - ly living is so great an 1 i :^. that though a man h:; e c misfortunes and di:ster" ie to complain. The ancient pro in startlinc intona:ion to a centuries, "Wherefore dot:h a ?i complain?" A diversity of opinion mn n-- t:ne as in olden time. here i a yo: a c light hair and blue eyes and se"m- unI..e. and generous salary and happily a:anced and on the way to become a partner in a commercial fir,.: of which he is an importai n clerk. Askhim whether life is worth i: He will laugh in your face and say. "Yet. yes, yes!" Here is a man who has come to the forties. He is at the tip:oo of the hi" of life. Every step has been a .tumme and a bruise. The people he truste'i hare tuned out deserters, and the money he has ly made he has been cheated out of. : nerves are out of tune. He has prer apre tite and the food he does eat does not asp-n late. Forty miles climbi -g up he h i ; life have been to him like climbing the M terhorn, and there are forty miles yet to down, and descent is always more da::gere than ascent. Ask him whether life is w r. living, and he will drawl out in slive:i. and lugubrious and appalling negative, --.N no, no!" How are we to decide thie matter eously and intelligentiy.. Ya'u wil the same man vacillating, oscil:ing in his o-i ion from dejection to exuberance, a f h be very mercurial in his temperament :: w depend very much on which way the w': blows. If the wind blow from the nort:' west and you ask him, he will say '-es and if it blow from the northeast and ask him he will say "No.' How are we the: to get the question righteously answere". Suppose we call all nations together :n a great convention on eastern or wcs:ern Le: isphere and let all those who are in the aflr mative say "Aye," and all those who are in the negative say "No." While there woumd be hundreds of thousands who would answer in the affirmative, there would be mre t - lions who would answer in the negative. and because of the greater number who have sor row and misfortune and trouble the "Nie-' would have it. The answer I shall give will be different from either, and yet it willi coin' mend itself to all who hear me this d ay as the right answer. If yctu ask me, "Is life w.'rth living?" I answer "It all depends upon the kind of life you live." In the first place, I remark that a life of mere money getting is always a faiilare be cause you will never get as much as y'ou want.~ The poorest people in this country are themillionaires. There is not a se':ssors grinder on the streets of New Y'ork or Brook lyn who is so anxious to make money as these men who have piled up fortunes year after year in storehouses, in government se curities, in tenement houses. in whole city blocks. You ought to see them jiump when they hear the fire bell ring. You ought to sc- them in their excitement when a bank explodes. You ought to see their agitation when there is proposed a reformanton in tae tariff. Their nerves tremble like harp strings but no music in the vibration. They read the reports from Wall street in the morning with a concernment that threatens paralysis or apoplexy, or, more probably, they h~ave a telegraph or a telephone in their own house. so they catch every breath of change in the money market. The disease of accumu-a tion has eaten into tlicnr-eaten into toe:r heart, into their lungs. irnto their spleen, into their liver, into their bones. Chemists have sometimes analy zed the ha~ man body, and they say it is so mucih in: mesia, so much lime, so much chlorate. - potassium. If some Christian chem.it would analyze one of these financial behemoth, 1:e would find he is made up of copper and god and silver and zinc and lead and coal and iron. '2hat is not a life worth livingr Ibr are too many earthquakes in it. :o mn agonies in it, too many perditions "n 1 They build their castles, and they ope~n t picture galleries, and they sumn " a": donnas, and they offer every inducem ent :er happiness to come and live there. 1::"':p ness will not come.

TcI proper way to uiprove corn for s ed is to mace the selc an in ti e i_:d. inve a section of the fid planted in the k!r d of corn you wish to save for seed and give it the best of care and manuring. de,p prypara tion, but. sbalioiv and lev-I cuitiva tion.

It -ili not robably be tae tiLest lokipg ear, but save it even if it :s nc. a noi . if you continually sae the top ears for seed, you increese the tendency to aroduce the ear farther and farther anti farther from the ground, and also icrease the tendency to bear but one ear. By continuous saving of the bot tom ear you get the corn in the habit of pr.ducicig its crop near the ground an.d the habit of tearing two ears. Pan this selected corn the next year and plant the seed patch vwish thet same and pursue the same course of selection. It will tske years to pro duce striking results, but if you per ,.re you will tinally get a race of corn that will put money in your piket for std pirposes. Do not in your lati-ude sehc: corn forearlincss. You have plenty of time to ma'ure the onest and the largest, late matu ring corn will always bring you tae heaviest crop. .North vard curn has been selected with a viev of earliness. Corn more than any other grain when we know of dis likes to be re-oved far north or south of its native locaity, and, though it will adapt itself to the changcd cindt ions, it takes time to do it, and you will do better to select from your ownt stock. Get tae best corn you caa find in ;our section to start with, and, my word for it, if you follon up the plan prcpased you will fiad that we are r:gLt. Tried to Kil ti. President. A cispatch from Mexico says an at tempt was made Tbursday morning to assassinate President Diaz in the City of M- xico as he was proceeding from the p dace to the Alameda to distribute metals to the survivors of the wars.

The agriculturist of this station thinks it will prove less productive than any of the other va rieties'. It has no botanimal charac ters indicating that it is even a new spc ces, muchi less a new genus. It so happened in planting the 21 varieties that one vari&ty of local Georgia or iin occupied aditcent rows anu proves almost identical with this so called foreign cotton,;differiog, indeed, only in not growiug so tall; but it :romises a larger y ield.

Lofton, the negro postmaster at 1aarsville, Ga., was shot three times at 9 o'clock Thursday night by nrties unknown and is in a p:ecarious conditi on, though it is believed the cuids will not prove fatal. Lofton had j ist closed his postchfice and was a fey yards from the door, enroute to his hone, when several parties emerged from the darkness and begaa to fire at him. He ran a fe a steps and fMl to the ground apparently dead. Firing then stopped ard the would be murerers dispersed, evidently believ ing their victim out o! the way. Lof tin was su':scquently carried to his home by his friends and medical aid was summoned. The people of Ho gansville were greatly excited during toe night, and the occ irre:ce is the talk today in every section of Troup and adj ining counties, but no clues can be gathered as to who did the shooting or assisted in the attempt to assassinate the newly appointed feder al official. No parson in Hogansville knows, apparend~y, and but few seem to care to know the names of those guilty of the crime. Politics led to the attack. Lofton was appointed acmut three months ago to the positicai of postmaster over the protest of nearly every white citizen of the town. Hold ing otlica under such circumstances tue negro official has displayed a sul en disposition, it is alieged, toward the whites and made himsielf gener ally objectionable to the better ele ment of people who are forced, in the order of bud5..ess, t come in contact with him daily. It is further alleged that complaint was made to the prop r authorities, but no attentio., was paid to it, or had not been at the time of the shooting, as Lofton had not changed his conduct towards the citi zens A postcefice inspector will ar rive here tonight or tomorrow mnora ing from Chattanooga and will inves tigte the shooting thoroughly.

Failure of Goldbag Propheoles. The gold bug newspapersand orators a: a crry Jot of prophets. Every tring they prophesied in reference to 'he return of prosperity to the country has failed to came to pass. In 1878 the Bland Allison Act w's pued44. rre siding for the purchase and coin age of rct lers than $2.000 000 ncr more thar. $1.000,000 worth of silver b.:lion into standard silver dollars eCI mn5fl3. ;t was passed by an verwhelming maj rity, and became a law despite a Presi entisl veto. Its enforcem-nt was er.tru; ei to frinds of the gold :tandard, and it was never txecated beyond the minimum amount. Even this meager and un fair execution was bitterly opposed by the money power, and everything pos sible was done to force its repeal. The silver dollar was made an outc-st by the great banks and clearing hcuses. I, was caricatured by Harper's Week y and other "sound money" Iuhlica tions, being represented in cartoons as a dollar with fifteen Cr twenty per cent. nipped cut of one edge. It was characterized as a "short legged" dol lar, a "clipped" dollar, a "thieving," "swindlng," dollar, a "dishonest," "repudiating,". dollar, and every imaginable epithet was employed to deride it and destory its credit with the people. 'Not only this, but it was inisted that the c>inage of fifty or a. hundred millions of these dollars would drive all the gold out of the country, reduce us to a silver basis, utterly destroy cur financial standing and ruin our business. This coarse was continued all through the admin istraion of Mr. Cleveland, who will ingly lent himself to the task of de stroying public faith in our monetary I system. Notwithstanding all this, as is shown by the National Bimetallist, every goldite prophesy failed, and the sler sentiment continued to grow. In 1890 was passed the "Sherman L w" enlarging the purchase of silver t> 4,500,000 ounces per month, ~and the issuar~ce of treasury notes thereon. Wall s ret needed money at the time admade but a feeble opposition to Ithe passageof this act. Bait a little later thae "agitation" for its repeal was was begun. and continued until, by Ithe combined force of a panic precipi tted for the purpose and the coercive infaence of President Cleveland's ad ministration, the purchase clause of that act was stricken cut and all fur ther additions to our stcck of silver money stopped. While this "afita tiol" was going on, it was not pre :ended that we coud not safely carry the si~v~r which we already nad, but 1it was claimed that the "continued purchases" were threatening oaxr mone tary stability, and undermining pub lc cnfidence." "Rapeal the purch ase clause,'' it was said, "ar d confi dence would return, brdnging bound - less prosperity in its wake." The pur ca'e c'ass wvas rep-akd, and whe ter "contijence was restorea" or not. w sa-w nothing of th a pro~nise~i pros p rty. And the gold "agitation' seat rght on. ' The treasury was ta Uniz r.' it was shcu'ed. "The gold ig io v. We m~ust issue br.d~s ei:d sono w mo~e. Taen -conflice' I: n-I prcs;erity' vill surcly cme."
