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

I has adjourned without reaching aDy
! definite conclusion ; another conference

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 !
