Constancy.
Close to the wall where the psle sen
shone
One blossom or amumn still lingers
alone.
Dreaming silently en, though the
winds, as they blow.
Whisper tales on their way of the frost
and the snc«v.
Dreaming silently on, though the frost
on the hill
Bears a message of winter, Impatient
at.d chill.
All the landscape about, void of blos
som and bloom,
Wears the mantle of autumn's heart
saddening gloom;
All the landscape lies bare, save for
this tiny place.
Where one delicate blossom still In
ge is In graeft—
Lingers on, like a hope when the soul
Is cast down.
And life, tike the landscape, seems
shriveled and brown.
Men tr.lk of life's burdens, Its hopes
and tw fears,
And muse on its sorrows and number
Its tears;
FcW ting, poor clods, that where
deepest Is gloom,

■•She doesn't play whist or euebre,

"She doesn't go shopping, and never

have a thing, she goes and buys it at
once, and that Is the end of It.
“She has never ridden a bicycle, and
knows absolutely nothing about go.f.
"She never wears the little trinkets
most women love, which come in to
day and tomorrow are entirely out of
fashion. Bangle bracelets and Jing
ling chatelaios have no charms for
her. and all the toilet fads of the mo
ment are her pet abhorrence.
"She has never had a wrapper, and it
is doubtful if she would know how to
get into a mottoer-hubbard.
"She doesn't chew gum and never
takes a glass of soda water, and she
hes never been guilty of uttering a

when nil of her gowns and hats and

’.Vhen she had gotten this far in her
"average” creed, she broke off to
laughingly make plans for her wed

This Is her receipt for the cultiva

Stand on the balls cf the feet with

With collar bands loose, with the

begin the movements easily and delib

Let the arms hang loosely at the

the head drop as low in front as

A Correotmadcnl Uko Remember*

Augusia. On.. Nov. 1». la#*.—To the

too busy to say to you earlier bow
no eh pleaa.d I was with your * Re
view of th Review." H was granite.
pU tureaqno. and altogether readable.
Hut, nurh a* I enjoyed the literary
.eature*. there waa something d-wper
in it that touched my heart. I need
hardly tell you It was the evidence It
contained ihat you -unlike bo many of
our younger men—are hot so abaotbed
in ibe issues of the present aa to for-
I get the South * bitter past. It la high
] ly creditable to you to cherish ihe
] memories suggested In your account
of ths review and to express them un
der the circumstances, file press and
public men of the South are often too
subservient and ur.- Influenced too
much by commercial and political mo
tives. Til spirit Is debasing. I some
times fear this land of which I have
always been proud, and which I trust
I may suv without boasting I love with
an unselfish devotion, Is fust becoming
1P,,. our neighbors of the North, so
' mercenary and seifsecklng that she is
putting behind her those high princi
ples und aspirations which so long dis
tinguished her. The South has been
subjugated hy nrmtes and It now loot*
us ts h< r nobler seif Is about to he
• subjugated likewise. She Is impover
ished, It Is true, but there are other
things lo I).’ desired for a people, us
well as for individual, besides mere
material proaperlty. Boor as she Is.
1 trust she will not make merchandise
of her principle*.
Yes, doubtless, there were many who
looked upon that parade with some
tiling more like satisfaction than they
did upon “Sherman's soldiers,” yet I
imagine they were sadly reminded of
the march of the modern Alario
through their native state, boasting of
the wanton destruction of private
property he wrought; th<- ruthless
driving of women and children from
Atlanta; the burning of Ihat city and
Columbia and counties* homes in Geor
gia and Carolina, all in the name of
the "great republic,'' which so loudly
proclaims from the housetops Its su
perior virtue and humanity. The Con
federate soldier on your monument
was not the first who s*«d upon a
