ELLIJAY, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1882.
FORTY.- ..
With many a careless jom<rs bogud.
With many a weary treadmill round.
O’er smooth spread turf or dangerous
ground
By many a .limpid stream, and mild,
I, from a simple, trusting child,
Have waudeied on to forty.
From feet that skipped to sober tread—
From mind with foolish fancies fed,
The sounder judgment, wiser head ;
The change to work from thoughttett
play ;
The cltauge to graver thoughts from gs*y
Which came to me along the way },
I strode while reaching forty.
Through visions which had real seeaiudA-
T hrough visions wider than I dreamed
Through shadows where the silver gleafp*
and,
'Through sunny places half o’erenst,
But aerie shapes which flittered fast—
For brightness cannot always last,
And youth must merge in forty.
Now let me count my treasures o’er,
What have 1 won or lost ? Far more *
llnve lost than gained. Such boh odium
store 't>
Of faith and hope I boasted when *
I wandered from a lad of tea '
To where tiy vision bordered. Then
My faith exceeded fofty.
Somewhat have learned and much pm
learned—
Some good received, much more have
spurned :
And much that might have beus descended
1 left unheeded —wondered by
With careless 01 averted eye ; ,
Forgetting that the moments fly
So fast from youth to forty.
Fve reached the summit of the race,
Aud would more on with slower pace :
Bat forty has no breathing place.
So shift and turn me as I will,
The years will crowd aud jostle still,
And 1 may listen down the bill ,
So score another forty.
e • |h f-
I flew the path I’ve wondered on, "
vyhere forty years have come sfjd gone.
A'ncl much of faith ami hope lies streyvn,
And prey thiy may prove tinet gojd,
The remnant of the faith I hold,
shred of hope 1 still infold,
. And last another forty.
THE BLUE SATIN BOOTS.
There was a church fair and
festival on hand at Waynesville,
and all the youii£ ladies were in
a stale of feminine flutter.
Fretty brown-eyed Jenny Car
son had one of the fancy tables.
She had also anew dress for the
occasion. The soft, shining folds
of dark blue silk w6re draped
over (be bed, and Jenny was
kneeling upon the -floor, arrang
ing the loops of satin ribbon to
her taste, when Miss Bell Dorsey
who was Jenny’s most intimate
friend, burst into the room.
“Oh, what a pretty dress, Jen
ny ! You’ll look ravishing in it.
You only need a pair of blue sat
in boots to match it, and then
■you’ll be the,nest dressed girl at
the festival.”
“But —satin bools are very ex
pensive,” said Jenny, hesitating
ly*
“Oh, well, yes, somewhat. But
there’s nothing sets off' a lady’s
appearance like nice shoes- and
gloves. I heard Dr. Chester say
he never considered a lady well
dressed if she wore ill-fitting
boots or gloves.” Aiid Miss
Bell complacently crossed her
own pretty French kids*' while
Jenny nervously pt away the
pretty silk.
What Dr. Chester said was be
ginning to be a matter of
moment to Jenny Carson. She
was conscious of a longing for
the blue boots ; but alas! they
were too expensive for her.
1 AHBB Bell presently took her
leave, and Jenny, with bdf her
pleasure spoiled, went oil with
her preparations, ' , I
“Well, daughter,’' said bfr fath
er at the dinner-table, “do you
need any fallals for your frolic
to-morrow I” j
“Yes. I do need some new
shoes, and some sffoves,” said
Jenny. f
“You do, eb* WelJ.w'bat most.
• give you to buy ihetn with!’' 1
“M hatever you can spare, pa- :
pa.”
“Well, here’s a *lO bill. I
guess that will be enough. Get
a good, sensible pair now, some
thing to keep you warm this
cold weather, and no flimsy
things.”
’’Yes, sir. Thank you, papa.
I’ll do the best I can,” said Jen
ny ; but she blushed, for in her I
hearl site felt very guilty.
However, she did mean to huv
a pair of warm kid bools for eve
ryday wear. She hoped to get 1
the blue ones for about $4, winch
would leave her enough for the
others, and for the gloves.
But when she stood in Turner’s
store and asked the price of the
dainty, shiny things offered her,
the clerk promptly answered $7.,
Miss Carson.
‘‘Oh, dear! I was in hopes they
were cheap,” frankly confessed
Jenny, laying down the boots.
“Indeed, they are cheap,” said
the clerk. “I assure you, Miss
Carson, we have sold these right
along at |B. This is the last pair,
so we offer them for leis. They
are very fine.”
“ics,” admitted Jenny.
‘•Nothing sets off a dainty foot
like a pair of these dainty boots,”
pursued the wily clerk, with an
eye for his trade. “Very few
young ladies could wear so small
a shoe—just your size, you see,
Miss Carson.”
Poor Jenny sighed, thought of
the thick, warm boots she ought
to have, cast a longing look at
the blue beauties, recalled what
Dr. Chester said, and, silly little
puss, for once Tet Her Vanity run
away with her reason.
‘Til take them.” she said. Af
ter the boots were paid for, there
was barely enough left to buy
her gloves and a ribbon or two.
The nerit day, the great one,
was clear and cold, with a sharp
wind. Overshoes would ruin the
daity satin boots, but, luckily for
Jenny, Die ground was dry. But
it was frozen hard, and when she
reached th e gayly-decorated
room of the new church her feet
were like ice.
Jen it}’ presided at one of Die
fancy tables. She made a lovely
picture in Die beautiful blue
silk ; her throat and wrist shaded
with the softest lace, and the
dainty blue boots fluttering in
and out below Hie plaiting of her
skirt.
Bell Dorsey wa6 already at her
post, and as Jenny came up she
opened her eyes wide and ex
claimed: “Oh, my, yon blue an
gel! Did you drop from The
.clouds ?”
Jenny laughed,and, happening
just then to catch a glance fjpin
Dr. Chester, who stood pear,
blushed with pleasure, while t)ie
gentle heart in her bosom throb
bed tumultuously. ,
Jenny had a very bqsy day, of
it. There was much .buying and
selling, and, Jenny’s table was
very popular. But,, as the new
church was large and not yet fin
ished, i,l w,as npt ver,y warm. The,
gjrls at the tables were chilly all
day, and i*y ,the tiros evening
came Jenny’q feet were so numb
and cold that she couid hardly
stand. , , ,
A hot supper, however, bad
been prepared at just
the street, Dr. Chester,
wailed o,n Jenny >1 the table.
Ulacj . jenough was she tp get
something warm and be near a
lire. •* -
But.Pr. Cheater, though ,kind
apd politje, was not lie, bad
been., jj? seemed strangply cold
and, Jennv fqltasif
her bright.dy„fffs spoiled. Bui
girls Know fio*, t? bide these
things, nod Jenny ,we* the g*T Mt
of the gay. She hag to return to
her stall again immediately after
•wpcM’ j and oh ! bow shat ply the
cold struck frer as she stepped
out,into the.night.,
Dr. Chester left her .at,the door
of a small, room designed for a
vestry, but. now,,used-by the .la
dies as a dressing room. Jenny
ran in to put,off her wraps,,,but,
while doing this, heard her,natue
spoken in the narrow passage
without. ,
“It’s all settled, I suppose,Doc
tor, between you ana Miss Car
son,” was wliat'&he heard.
“No, Fred. I’ve seen the folly
of that to-day. The tynes,,which
answered, well-known
ones of Dr. Chester. ~
“You astonish me 1” replied
Fred, „ ( i ,
“1 don’t mind giving the rea
son. Fred,” said the doctor. “Just
look at. t hat young lady ’s feet,and
you will have iti In spite of this
oold day she wears nothing but a
flimsy pair of blue-silk shoes. 1
have more than fancied Mist Car
son ; 1 don’t deny it. But you
will tee at once that a girl who
can so utterly sacrifice her reason
to her vanity is not the wife for n
poor, struggling doctor, with his
fortune yet to make. But enough
of this, let’s go iu. It’s chilly
here.”
Poor Jenny I Fortunately .there
was no one in the dt easiiig-rooip
but herself. She flew to the |tjr- r
thest end and hid her burning,
face on a pile of cloaks. But,after
a brief struggle, she rallied. It
would never do to cry. It would
never do to go to her table with
red eyes. It was a very erect,
firm-mouthed little lady who
walked to her table
the heels of the pretty l}lue boots
came down upon the floor with a,
sharp, resolute little click ; for
Miss Jenny had made up her
mind to do something very' odd.
“I am a little fool,” she said to
herself, “but I don’t quitb de
serve to lose a good man’s good
opinion* and 1 won’t either if 1
can help it.”
It was late before site was ready
to go hO'me/ Just as she was
about to start, Dr. Chester, who
was her escort, handed her a pair
of overshoes* Baying, quietly, as.
if it were a matter of course:
•‘Miss Jenny, please put these on;
it is too colfl a night for such thin
shoes as I see you wOar.”
Poor Jenny! Be face was
scarlet with mortifloktiOu. She.
made out to utter a .confused
“Thank you,” and, pul, op,Hie ol
fendmg overshoes an
other word- Then phe look.-the
doctor’s arm, and they went out
together. ~ s
Jenny’s heart was beating sq
last that it almost choked tier,
but she was as detertpined as ev
er. Before ten steps had been
takep, she paid : ~ ,
HDr. Chester, do you, .tlfjiik it

“Certtffply not,” said the doc

made her penifenj, coitfes

“I think you the dearest, bray
