[Atlanta Constitution,]
Children are it great trouble aud a
great comfort, too. It don't matter
how many there are in family, if one
goes away to spend a week or night,
there is a vacant place at the fireside
and at the table and on the piazza, aDd
and everywhere about the house, and
the child is missed, and somehow we
don’t feel right until the missing one
comes home. That is a mighty pretty
story about the Irish ’ mother befog
persuaded to give up one of her bairns
to a wealthy lady who had no children
and wanted to adopt one, and she cries
over the first one and then another,
and told all their sweet little ways and
sayings, and finally gathered them all
in her arms and said : “Oh, my sweet
lady, kind lady, couldn't ye take one
and leave it with me ?’’~ , -llow they do
open the hearts of the parents and give
them something to live for and work
for—something that is sweet and inno>>
cent and altogether natural. I have
always sympathized with those who
have net got them, and I can apolo
gize for their being sour and stingy
and selfish, for its human nature for
the heart to be like a vine unto sorne
thing'and if there is no child they tie
unto money. The love of a child be
gets charity and opens the purse. It
is the mainspring of all industry' and
economy and good conduct and all
honorable ambition. The world is
working for the children, and it is our
love for them that puts down lawless
ness and crime makes us anxious to
persevere good Government and keep
the peace with (labors and States and
Nations. Lpt a man stand in a great
city and look upon the busy crowd as
they move to and fro all in a hurry,
anil sfnv'i'ng'anSTtoifing for the chi's
dren. Even many a poor miserable
thief who lives in a jail or is serving
his term in the chain gang had a mo
tive away back that the judge nor the
jury never knew of. He was stealing
for the children. I’ut mighty sorry
for folks who have none, but I’m more
sorry for those who have had 'em and
lost and never hud any more to take
their places. I was sitting one night
in my piazza talking to one of Geor.,
gia's noble men —a man gifted aud elo
quent —who once had a dear little girl
to sit upon his knee and foudle in his
arms, but he was now childless and was
growing old—years of desolation- had
passed since her death but that night
my little girl came out in her night
gown to kiss me good night, and mis
taking my friend for me climbed in his
arms and kissed him. When she was
gene the strong man bowed his head
and wept like a little child, and I have
ever since esteemed him all the more
for his tenderness. Sometimes lie is
called sour and selfish and sarcastic,
but I know where his heart is, and
that he would count honors and wealth
nothing if he could but restore his
•child. I had to whip a little boy the
other day and it most killed me and
that night ho put his arm around my
neck and went to sleep so lovingly in
my bosom that I felt like 1 —nld nev
er do it again. I've got all the little
chaps to work now picking peas in the
field, and they make a lively frolic of
it. I have promised to pay ’em for
their labor a cent a basket full, and I
have graduated the size of the baskets
to the size of the children, so as to keep
’em about even with each other in the
work. They pick a while in the morn
ing and in the evening, and are getting
rich off of me very fast at ten cents a
day. IFhen thoy earn their money
they value it all the more and won’t
spend it for trifles like they do that we
give to 'em. Mbney earned is always
better than money given whether iUbe
a man’s or a child’s. It sticks closer
and lasts longer. It is a great mis
take for a young man to fool along and
be waiting for his patrimony or for
some rich kin to die and leave him
something. He is a sponge, a para
site, a fraud. He can live and die and
never be missed. A man who does
not earn his own living had just as
well never been born. But children
are nol drones. It’s astonishing how
much help they are in the family—how
many steps they save us They bring
the butter from the spring house, and
run the sheep out of the yard, and run
over to a neighbor’s to borrow some
thing, or piek the vegetables for dinner
or eateh the chickens, or make a ffie in
the stove, or pick up chips, or hunt up
soma eggs, or find thoir mother’s scis 1
sors or spectacles, and they are always
as merry, and sing around and keep us
bright and cheerful, whether we feel
like it or not. It’s amusing to see how
gushingly they take up a thing and
how diligently they pursue it, and how
suldenly they wear it out. and quit it
for something else. Every day is some
new entertainment. For a while they
run sling shots, and then thev run
cross bows, and shoot all my big nails
away beforo I missed ’em ; and then
they made some acorn pipes, and smok
ed rabbit tobacco, as they call this life
everlasting weed, and then they took
suddenly to digging a well near the
branch, and stocking it with crawfish
and minners, and they built, a brick
furnace and cook their dinner on it,
and one day they all dressed up in
grown folks clothes and paraded around
and it does look like they have exhaus
ted everything, but they haven't—and
all we can do is to look on and wonder
wha’t kind of a fit they will have next.
When their ingenuity plays out of sea
son, they fall back and intrench upon
the branch, which is always a running
and attractive, and they build dams
and flutter m ills and canals, and get
their clothes wet, and then go inn
washing and hang ’em on the bushes
to dry. There is not s frog or a tad
pole, or a snake or a miuncr along this
branch that don’t know these boys
Some of ’em gets stung by a bee or a
wasp or a yellow jacket most every day
or steps on a nail or limps around with
a stone bruise or has a bile somewhere
or falls out of the swing or off of f.Ka
*, - ,oe or cuts
a linger or tears their clothes aud comes
to the house for repairs. IFhen they
have struck anew idea they can hard
ly take time to eat for they are terribly
io earnest. It’s a happy time with ’em
now and I wish it would always be.—
They are up with the sun every morn
ing. and can say with poor Tom Hood;
lie never rose a wink too soon,
Nor brought too long a day.
Blessed childhood—how innocent

/An Indianapolis editor got a
letter from an unknown correspon
dent, asking how ho contrived to
flirt without his wife being able to
catch him. He pitied the igno
ranco of the enquirer and wrote
him an explanation of the whole
rackot. Aud when he found the
enquirer was really his wife he had
the delirium tremens without the
fun of getting ’em. That is what
a man gets for giving himself away,
and it served him right.

A Texas Wife.
The best natured woman in the
United States lives in Austin. She
has been married a number of years
to a man named Ferguson, but she
and her husband have never had a
quarrel yet, and he has frequently
boasted that it is utterly impossible
to make her angry. Ferguson
mado several desperado attempts to
see if he could not exasperate her
to look cross or scowl at him,mere
ly to gratify his curiosity, but the
more outrageous he acted, the more
affable arifl loving she behaved.—
Last week he was talking to a
friend about what a hard time he
had trying to find out if his wife
had a temper. The friend offered
to bet that if Ferguson wero to go
home drunk, raise a row, and pull
the tablo-eloth full of dishes off the
table she would show some signs
of annoyance. Ferguson said he
didn’t want to rob a friend of his
money, for he knew he could win;
but they at last made the bet of
SSO the friend to hide in the front
yard and watch the proceedings of
the convention through tho win
dow.
Ferguson came home late, and
apparently fighting drunk. She
met him at the gate, kissed him,
and assisted his tottering steps to
the house He sat down hard in
the middle of the floor, and howled
out :
“Confound your ugly picture,
what did you mean by pulling that
chair out from under me ?”
“ • 1 .11.1 uni hurt VOUT
self. It was my awkwardness, but
I'll try and not do it again,” and
she helped hitn to his feet,although
she had nothing in the worid to do
with his falling.
He then sat down on the sofa
and slided off on the floor, abused
her like a pick-pocket for lifting
up tho other end of the sofa, all of
which she took good naturedly,and
finally she led him to the supper
table. He threw a plate at her,
but she did as if she had not noticed
and asked if he would take tea or
coffee. Then the brute scizen the
tablo-eloth ar.d sat down on the
floor, pulling tho dishes and every
thing else with him in one grand
crash.
What did this noble woman do ?
Do you suppose she grumbled and
talked about going home to her ms,
or that she sat down and cried like
a fool, or that she sulked and pout
ed ? Not a bit of it. With a
pleasant smile, she said :
“Why George, that’s anew idea,
ain’t it ? We have been married
ten years, and have never yet eat
our supper on tho floor. Won’t it
be lun—just like those picnics we
used to go to. before we got mar
ried,” and then this angelic woman
deliberately sat down on tho floor
alongside the wretch, arranged the
dishes, and fixed him up a nice
supper.
This broke George all up. lie
owned up he was only fooling her,
and offered to give her fifty dollars
to get henself anew hat, but she
took the money and bought him a
new suit of clothes and a box of
cigars. Heaven will have to be
whitewashed before it is fit for that
kind of a woman. —[Texas Siftings.

Judge Simmon* on TYin|><-r
--niice.
This week Judge Simmons held
court in Jonssftfioro, and among
other things he said in his charge
to the grand jury, the following,as
reported by the Jonosboro news ;
Judge Simmons in his charge to
the grand jury upon the subject of
selling liquor to minors,-soiling to
drunken men, and keeping Open
bar-rooms on the Sabbath day,gave
some illustration of the happy
effects of local option la w, wherever
it had gone into effect. He stated
ho had been informed by erto of
the judges in the lower part of the
State, that before the adoption of
this law in one of live counties in
the State, it took him nearly a
week to try the violations of law,
caused by drinking whisky. That
the people v ould meet on Monday
morning at the court house, and
commence drinking and fighting
and would keep it up all the week
Since the adoption of this law, he
would charge the grand jury in the
morning and discharge them in the
afternoon because there was no
business for them to transact. In
another county where the law huff
been adopted u great change for
the better had been observed In
this country there would be from
three to four murder cases to try
at evorv term of court, ,Tha law
had been in in that
country nearly soven years, and
there had boen but one ho nicido in
the county since its adoption, i’he
Judge said he could give numerous
instances ol tho great moral im
provment observable in th* r / ''”P le
after tho adoption 0! * nis ' ri
dilD where he had
presided. In counties where fight
ing and quarreling had been the
order of the day, before the adop
tion, and did not see a singlo man
under the influence of liquor, nor
heard a loud or boisterous expres
sion. Tho Judge thinks that the
truo temperance theory is abolish
ing bar-rooms. [Texas Exchange.
