Some Hml work where sometiml rest, And so the weary world goes ou; I sometimes wonder which in best The answer cornea when life is gone Some eyes sleep when some e>es wake, And so the dreary night hours go, Some hearts heat where some hearts break, 1 often wonder why 'tis so. Some hands fold where other hands Aie lifted bravely iu the strife ; And so through ages and thro’ lands Move on the two extremes of life. Some feet halt where some feet tread. In the tireless march, a thorny way Some struggle on where some have tied; Some seek, when others shun, the fray. Some sleep on while others keep The vigils of the true and brave; They will not rest till roses creep Around their name above a grave. MJSCEU.ANY LOVE UEYOXJ) Eli ICE • BY LOUISE 11. MITCHELL. Tlie farm of the Willettes was a model of neatness and tlirift iness. Never diu the neighbors Hod a broken fence rail or an un trimed hedge, for in spite of tlie poverty of its owner and the want of help no hing was neglect ed. farmer Willetts was wont to draw himself up proudly and de clare that altLougk he had but one man, his son Tom, and him self to run the farm, no one in Hillside could boast of a prettier place or better and ani mats than he. la the old-fashioned farm-house Ins daughter Jeanie made the do mestic wheel revolve smoothly, while his gentle, delicate wife as sisted in the lighter duties which Jeanie saw were even too much for her feebleness, And so their lives ran on in one dull, monotonous routine, until an event occured which caused a sudden turn in affairs. Will Aveiy, the son of the rich est man in Hillside, cam« down from the city, where he had been working, to his former home on a v sit. He laughed at Tom Wil. lette for plodding aloug on a stu pid farm when he might make a fortune in the city. And Tom (foolish boy that he wai), asham ed tj confide his intentions to his father, and leave home in an honest, straight forwefld way, sneaked off in tho dead of night leaving a note which Jeuuiofound upon his piu-cushion, to tell his pareuts tliut he was tired of hard country work, and had gone to the city to seek his fortune. When the former heard of th® flight of his son his wrath wps fearful to bebo Id, and in the heat of his auger he swore fHat Tom should never enter his door again and he forbade any mention oj his boy's name by either wife or •laugh'er. They obeyed him, and only when in the solitude of her own room did Mrs Willette speak of her absent boy • o Ins syrapathi* ing Jeanie. Nine months passed wearily by and only once did they bear from Tun, who sent a letter to bis proud father to crave his forgive uess; but the father's anger had uot yet cooled, so he returned the letter, saying Lhat he had no son and he never wished to hear from the hoy who once occupied that place in his home and affections. Poor man ! //e had placed all hopes of future greatness in his only son, aud no wonder the hard workiug farmer found itadiffi-ult task to forgive Tom lor destroying his ainbnious plans. He was uot the man to eoinplaine to another of his misfortunes, aud as he could uot afford to hire another hand on the farm, he worked hard er ibau ever. His tali figure hegau to stoop aud his iron-gray hair became snowy white. He would go >o tho house at tneal time but was hurried und silent, then out again he would go having barely tasted a morsel, and in answer to Jen nie's anxious look would say that he had no time to eat; he had too much to do. Lawrenceville Georgiy Tuesday June 24. 1884 I lmt set Jesnie to thinkinghow ahe could lighten bis cares, and she finally concluded to hurry ovej. her own work and then take Tom’a place upon the farm as far as she was able; and it was a comical sight to see the girl with a lorn si raw bat. faded dress, and with an old pair of Tom’s stout boots upon her feet, whip in hand be hind the plow, urging the old horses on. But Jeani* did’nt care. Fa'her had more time to rest, aud she fancied he was los ing the hurried, care worn look that ha 1 settled upon his face since Tom had run away. As for Mrs Willette, the anxiety and care as to how they should manage through the coming win ter, and the fever<sh longing for bei son, told greatly upon her al ready feeble frame, and one day Jennie woke to the reality that her mother was dangerously ill. “Father,” Jeanie said, stopping the farmer as he was leaving the bouse, ‘ father, I fear mother is sicker than v\e know.” "V\ hat!” shouted the farmer, un heeding Jeanie’s motion to be qui et, “your mother sick. Why, you must be crazy girl! Site told me this morning that she wasn’t ago in’ to gel up till after breakfast, ’cause she fell tired like: but she ain’t much sinck, I reckon, else would a told me,” and with a few more words he hurried away,while Je m ran up to her mothers room and bent oyer her mothers bed. “Mother, dear,” she whispered tenderly, “do you feel ill? can 1 do anything for you V •'They told me that my Tom bad run away, and it isn’t true; I know it is no\,” muttered the inva lid, while every now and then a moan broke from her lips. Jeau was very much frigh'ened for she could not understand how ner motlier could Jbave forgotten, that Tom had run away so long "Mother," she cried, laying her cool, though bard hand upon her mother’s burning forehead, “do you know me f It is Jean—your Jeau. Oh! what shal I do!" aud with tears of helplessness iu her eyes she prayed for guidance. A! most immediately a thought struck her. Darting from the room and down the stairs Jean entered ihe kitcheu, and seizing the o/d din ner horn she blew it repeatedly, then waib d anxiously. Yes, her fathei’s voice was hallooing to her. Once more the hoarse tones of the horn floated down to her fa her at work in ihe pasture, aud it was with a sense of relief that she saw him striding lapidly to ward the uonse. “Whet is it, Jean, girl!’’ he ask ed panting for breath, as he near ed the houic. In a lew brief words she told him ad, and bid ding hev run back to her mother, he hurried to tho barn. As Jean rat by the bedside of her mother she heard the clatter of the hor se'# feet, Running to the sviu dow. site saw her father riding rappidly toward the village. “Where is Tom ? Why don’t somebody bring him from tl e field ? I must sj eak to him,'' cried Mrs. Willette, excitedly.— “Is ho dead? John, John, you must forgive him—our boy—our only one—oh, John !” Her last words would have melted her husband's proud heart could he have heard them; but he was far away, seeking ttie village physician, whom he fortunately found just stepping into his bug gy to make a professional call; but Fawner Willett’s startled ap-, pearance and urgent entreaty caused tho doctor to change b>s destination, and they were soon driving toward the Willette farm. Jeau hurried forward to meet the doctor as he entered her moth ers room. “Is she very ill. sir ? Oh tell me!" she cried, grasping his arm ; in her excitement. “Be calm. Miss Jeanie," be an swered, soothingly, “for I have only you to depeud upon a# nurse. Yes. I fear that Mrs. Willettes is a very sick womao." He a nee more bent over tie invalid, who, having swallowed a soothing po tion, now lay cjuiet with closed eyes DEVOTED TO NEWS, LITERATURE ANI) LOCAL AFFAIRS Ihe farmer had stood eagerly wa'ebiug the doctors face, as he spoke to Jean, aud he now step ptd forward. “I say, doctor,” touching the doctor's arm, and speukiug in an awe struck voice, you don’t mean to say that my wife is very sick do you ?” "I am afraid so, Mr. Willette* was the reply as the doctor rapi 1 ly wrote a prescription an J hand «d it to Jeau. “Your wife was al ways a very delicate woman, and sue should never have married a farmer—least of all a poor one.” he added iu a low voice, yet not so low but that the husband caught his words “No one knows that better than I do, the farmer mentally said, while aloud he asked : “You will call aga n this even iag, sir f” “Yes," answered the other man as he softly closed the bedroom door and w tlked along the cold, carpel less hall followed by „M*- Willette, yes I will. But to bo lrauk with you, your wife has some trouble ou her miud over which she is constantly worrying; and, indeed, 1 believe that this trouble has partly caused the ill ness; and—” he stood still, and the beber to emphasize his words he laid a hand on the farmers shoulder, “and un il that trouble is cleared away I can give you n u hopes of her recovery. I did not tell your daughter of this, because I wished first to make it known to you.” “You are quite 9ure of tbis. Dr. Barlow ?” tire farmer asked, in a forced voice. “1 am sure, sir, your wife was very fond of Tom, wasn't she f Dr Barlow asked insignificantly and without waiting for an answer he sprang into tne buggy and was soon out of sight, leaving the far mer to awake to the as onishing truth that bis wife's life was de spared of. chiefly because he re. fused to allow the boy whom he had disowed to return to his home and his affections. Slowly he donned his hat and returned to his work, feeling weak er and more ummanned than he had ever been be fore. “Wtrch means,'’ he said angrily but to himself, giving the old horse a sharp cut with the whip, "that lam lo send for that boy. Pshaw! the docior is a fool : he don’t know what he is talking about. Send tor Tom. indeed! No: lie has made his bed, so let him lie.” Thus for a time he dis missed the subject from his isinil That night Hannah Briggs came to the farm house to attend to the house-work, that Jeanie might give all her time and thoughts to her mother. Oh ! how wearily the days aud weeks crept by with no change for the better in ihe invalid whose never ceasing cry was f*r Tom. Then sne would imagine herself conversing with her husband. “Oh, John t" she cried, piteous ly, “you don't know; perhaps he was tempted to go; forgive him for my sake, dear,” aud yet for •he sake of his stubborn pride her husband turned a deaf ear to her cry. There came a time, however when it was almost too late. Grouped about her bed that night were Jean, the doctor, and ihe farmer all waiting for either life or death, they knew not which. VVithoui the night was most beuutiful, so calm and so solemn. The gentle breeze moved lazily through the leaves upon the tall trees nea' the farm house with a sound like the rustling of angels’ wiDgs, while near by lay a soul battling with death. As the watchers sat there in the d itn light the old clock in the hall | below struck twelve, aud the sound of husheA footsteps ascend ing the stairs aud coming toward the sick room. The door was pushed stoadly open and the figure of a young man appeared iu the moonlight Unmindful of the o her occupants of the room, be moved toward the bed and bent over the prostrate form. “Mother,” a voice said low and brokenly “mother speak to me it is Tom.” That simple word had an effect that all the doctors medioal skill hud foiled to compass. A smile | faint but almost heavenly, curved Ihe mothers lips. “My Tom—John forgive him !’’ i The weak hand relaxed itshcld up on the large brown one, and with a little sigh Mrs. Willette fell in to a refreshing sleep. “She is saved, Dr Barlow whis pered, thankfully, and mvoluu tarily his eyes rested upou the farmer kueling beside the bed with, his face hurried in his hands while deep sobs shook his heavy frame. Hod s mercy l.ad overwhelm ed him. At last he arose, and wiih bowd head and quiet foot steps be stole from the room, ami after a saw mo man tv' he /a li>n L’oiu iviowcl him.

Suffice it to say that Tom neter re.urned to the city, but worked humbly slid thankfully upon the Villett* farm, for Tom bei ame more patient, more subdued than it Lad ever seemed postib e for him to he. And gradually there arose a better under atatiling be tween his father aud himself, for iu the bitter lesson that they team ed they found tliai above arid be yond all else there is to be desired that love thut is beyond all price. Cured by Tobacco House of Representatives. SYashinutun, D. C., May 14. 1384. (Wa-hinoton Capital.) Sir: My ateßtion lias been ca'ltd to au article written by Gen er.d T. L. CliugLam for IIu„u and Health oil tobacco as a cure for inflammatory diseases; and as I am the lawyer referred to at Asheville N. C., as having been cured by the application of his remedy, I beg to be allowed lo state tlie cure was complete and rapid, uaving only applied it for one night. My eyes were greatly inflamed and very soar, so much so that I could scarcely see. The inflamation was entirely reduced and I have sufl’ei ed no inconvenience since. I am entirely satisfied of its efficacy and value. Mauy years ago in my fathers family there was an old colored man, a great sufferer from inflam matory rheumatism. An old wo man prescribed the ooze from to bacco stems with corn mnsh as a poultice, and in a few days he was entirely well. In the last few weeks a lady friend of mine in the city of Wa bington was suffering from soar eyes occasioned by the white ligh and glare reflected on the square east of the Capitol.— •She applied tt bacco and was at cnee relieved. My object in this note is to assist General Clingman in bringing this simple remedy in to public notice as a specific cure for violent and rapid inflamma tions—that it may reach the mul titude without cost—that it may stay the disasters arising from pat ent nostrums, and utilize a weed ihat ia so extensively used to the great disgust of ihose who do not usd it, and the great inconveni - ence and expense to those who do. This is all. General Clingman does not ex pect rewarj or ti e hope cf leward only as he may be of some service to others. Yours, A T. Davieson, HAHUTO PRONOUNCE.

The emigration from those states is immense. Fully 1,500 from that section went to the Northwest dnt ing the past season.” “And the Georgians ?” “Well, from the northeast Geor gia, the emigrants go to the north west.

Among the stories told at. the Twenty fith reunion wasjthe follow i ,l g|g°°d one. Ono of the drttmers while the regiment was on the move had a penchat for forging on his account, and the chickins had to roost high to escape his far reaching hands. Whenever night overtook them this diutner had a good supper provided lor himself. On one occasion lie had raked in a couple of turkey s and had put tLeui iu his convenience n carrying. When the regiment was halted for the night the o do nel immediately ordered dress par ade, and the drummers were ex pecied to beat up.

Why didn't he say so be fore? Send him to his tent at once!"—Hartford Times. Judge M says tlai many years ago, when starting out to seek lps fortune for himself, he went to the south western part of Texas. Riding one hot August afternoon along a curtroad cut for many miles through the chap arral, his pony stopped with such suddeness that he was nearly thrown forward over the animal’s head. Said he, in further descrip tion. “I got off and looked about to see what the trouble was, and soon found about a rod ahead a huge rattle-snake asleep across the roadway, his head down the slope on one side, and his tail in the gutter on the other. I tried to make the pony jump tie snake but he wouldn't budge. There wasn’t a stone or stick big enough to handle in sight, and / had uo fire arms. 1 was iu a pickle, but I couldn’t go back, and didn't like to sta> where I was.
