"I cannot imagine what
good such a visit can ?lo. tmt it may
do considerable harm in awakening
the memories of one i.f the mo t brutal
marches ever made. There certainly
is nothing to be proud of in
Sherman's marching with a larg.- army
through a country tmdefend-'d. and
then report to his government that lie
had destroyed more than twice a.much
property as was necessary for
rupport of his army. Siiermun did
this without just cause.
"Th? n, again, the government can
scarcely understand the u tnper of our
geople, since it is dot tned necessary
for the son of Sherman to have a
f.uard as he advances through the
country. NothwiihsiemUng all '.hat

l POINTLESS PENNINGS. | j
? ?? ? j
Tin' editor of this column means
just what the heading implies; i. e.
that there will not always be any
point to the idle thoughts that creep
in here from week to week, lie
may defend some idea if he can,
but he is not going to try if he cannot.
We always like to have a
ho?oni friend, whom we can compel
to listen to our idle prattle, whether
or no: but, since the (alitor has no
one undi r his power, he asks the
indulgence of Timics readers, (live
ear to some roving thoughts that
lodge, maybe at midday, maybe at
midnight, in his meandering mind.
No logic, no cool reasoning is intended
for this column; nothing
but idle thoughts, comments at
random, and reflections without

O ?? I""i% .
dox, and really, in a sense, it i.-;
but this gives tin* editor a loop hole
when he may chance to make paradoxical
remarks. So, good reade r,
he our conlidnnte, open your heart
and hear with the musingsof an idle
fellow.
ntsAi'i'oiN TMr.s r.
Now this is rather a gloomy >:11 ject
to begin with, but ? well no j
reason, except one. We heard the
fire-alarm Monday evening and ran i
to the scene, a distance of a mile.
It wasn't a thing, but some new
ground being burnt oil". We didn't
want to see any thing burnt up,
not at all, but we hated to be disappointed.
And right here is place for admission:
it's a genuine pleasure to ,
us to see some tires; yes, a pleasure.
First, great things may arise from
the ashes of little mean things; for, j
some of the best buildings in our
pretty little, town today, have been |
huildcd over th^i *e-Si iIX S. '
Second, there's "a wild,' terrible j
beauty in a lire, especially a great
one. Think of those times, when,
in the dead <?f night, you've beheld
such a scene. The martyr-like endurance
of the timbers, groaning
1 ? 1? ? . I
aim cienaing in pain, nui suilermg
to 1);' ml need to charred nothing.
All the while the hcaver.s glow
in sympathy. And a lire's,
a place for heroism, unsellish-'
j ness. kindness, and this i< heauty. ,
And in the third place, we are convinced
hy fact, that what takes:
years and years of hitter lahor to,
raise may he swept away in a moment.
Then we know that a man's
labors in material things are upon
| uncertain foundations, i'oor man!
I To labor and -ud'er for years; to
give his whole life in quest of hallhies,
and then to see even these go
up in smoke. All his hopes crushed,
his ambitions gom?why?-because
what he has lived for has been taken
away from him. Then is anything
'worthwhile? Is every investment
liable to destruction, failure? Well
there's only one that's not; investment
in mind and heart will not
only not he liable to loss, hut it
yields interest at an infinite rate for
an endless time. The heavens may
fall around you, but capital in mind
and heart never feels the shock.
Then invest! invest!
Hut we started out to talk about
disappointment and not (ires. Why
can't a man get through this world
without so many humps, many
trials, so much trouble and so many
and such hitter disappointments?
If it were not for these things this
world would he a fine place to live
in. Its a beautiful old world, so
much to interest us, so much variety
(and that's what we want);
groves, fields, lakes, rivers, sandy
seashores, rugged mountains, and
over all such a wonderful canopy,
called the heavens. Wonderful,
Ik-cause it changes all the time and
so often; a life-inspiring sun for us
when we want to work, and calm,
peaceful little eyes up there to watch
us when we n- tired. And the
birds tell us how to he happy in
this world; they know. Young
married people, if you want to knowhow
to he successful and happy,
learn the lesson of the little homebuilders
under your caws and out
in your front yard. They know,
yes, they know and poor man is
often too blind to even see and
learn.
Hut why our disappointment?
Why do the w inds blow so strong in
March and April? Well you do
know that there's reason for (-verything.
every phenomenon in nature;
and the scientists tell us that tinwinds
blow to bend the trees and
shrubberv. 1<> hui?c Ih<> li-nl
tin; Nip insiy rise, and new life ami
stronger liegin. This seems reasonable
and the more so when we
think of man, because there's a
vast deal of natural law in the
spiritual world. Clod pushes a man
over sometimes just to let him (iud
out how to get up again, hut there's
something sweet ill even this; (iod
doesn't break a man, just bends
a little, and even helps him to
straighten hack up. Then, if he's
a man, lie becomes stronger for the
sap rises and more life's in him.
It wouldn't do for man to have no
opposition in this world; he'd always
be a weakling. Every knock^

a visit to Charleston, S. C. At
the age of something over 35
years he left the office of the
New York Courier and Enquirer
carrying with him a capital of
$500 and the belief in his own
power to make a successful newspaper.
In 1835 he issued the first j
number of the Herald from a cellar
on Wall street. He struck
out on new lines, giving the news
and not long worded theories j
about the news. His contemporaries
tried to crush him, and ap-!
plied all manner of vile epithets
to him. He seldom struck back, j
and continued pressing forward.
In 1810 he announced his ap-,
proaching marriage in the Iler-;
aid. In that announcement there
is this sentence: "My ardent desire
has been through life to
reach the highest order of human
excellence by the shortest
cut.'' At that time (he Herald's , earnings
