I'M ONLY DREAMING.
Noiseless as the dawn
Through my casement window streams,
Tender as the glow of evening,
Comes my summer-tinted dreams—
Tinged like dew of morning
With hues of-early glory,
Whispering out a language,
Of hope’s enraptured story.
Unpresaged as the news
That flashes, electfio over wires,
ASThou slumber me,
Hhd star by starlHqures ; S
"Comes golden wealth of promises—
Wealth of sunshine gleaming
In upon my weary soul;
I wake—l’m only dreaming.
Bright visions crowd my brain,
And angels stoop in love,
To bathe my fevered blow,
With nectar from above.
Broad harvest fields stretch out,
In plenteous beauty beaming,
In every earthly pleasure blessed,
I wake, and find I’m dreaming.
Faces that in years gone by,
Had joyous looked on me,
Come hovering hear my couch,
AmM greet them glad and free.
A mother’s voice, and smile, and face,
In its old familiar seeming,
Is still the same—l-start!
I wake—alas ! I’m only dreaming.
Hopes of years that still remain,
Ir. the future yet unborn,
Have the veil from oil’ them taken, *
I see a spring-encompassed morn,
The love that I have lavished
And found, how vain the rapt es
teeming,
Assumes a fondness all returned ;
I wake—alas! I’m only dreaming.
So on and on, time speeds
Its ever winging flight,
And J dream and dream of day,
And wake to find it night.
But when I fall asleep in Christ
A vision of his love redeeming
Will burst in glory on the sight,
I’ll wake, and find, I’ve not been
dreaming. *
CA LL ME WHEN BREAKFAST IS
HEADY.
A SONG OF THE GIRL OF TIIE PERIOD.
1
Call me when Breakfast is ready—
O mother! don’t call me before :
Do not deny tnc the pleasure
Of moderate rest I implore.
Eight hours of sleep are too little
For delicate maidens like me
Dearer, by far, is my pillow
Than cup of the daintiest tea.
Mother, I cannot endure it,
This getting up early’s a bore—
Call me when breakfast is ready,
Oh! please do not call me before.
II
Call me when breakfast is ready—
O mother! don't call mo too soon,
Shopping, of course, needs attention,
But that can lie done before noon.
I Talk of the folly of fashion,
I do not consider it so:
Parties must not be neglected,
And style is important you know.
Mother.! it makes me so nervous
To think of you step at my door:
Call me when breakfast is reiidy,
Oh! please do not call m3 before.
111
Call mo when breakfast is ready—
Oh ! don’t call me early, I pray.
Doctors advise to be quiet,
My spine is affected, they say.
Sleep is a potent elixer,
And better than drugs or the knife ;
Why, then, so much in a hurry,
Since rest is the solace of life?
Mother, do have some compassion.
And chide my late rising no more :
Call tnc when breakfast is ready,
O ! please do not call me before.
IV
Call mo when breakfast is ready—
O mother 1 I think I’ve been told, ,
Multitudes struggle for riekes,
And barter their comforts for gold.
Hypocrites often rise early—
Their motives are perfectly plain :
Sundays they always sleep later,
15c cause they have nothing to gain.
Mother! 1 cannot endure it,
This getting up early’s a Imre—
Call mo when breakfast is ready,
But please do not call me before

Mess. Editors : Spread Oak Grange
meets at 2 o’clock a. m., on Friday be
fore the fourth Sunday in each month.
On our last meeting day we had but
little work to do, and we held what we
term an experience meeting, each mem
ber telling his success or failures of the
present year. The meeting was an in
teresting one, eaelt brother giving his
plan ami mode of cultivation. Some
few planted corn on stubble land, which
proved a failure; some planted corn
after cotton, which was a success.
Each member present gives a favorable
report of their crops. Will make corn
enough for tho coming year. Cotton
looks very well. Potatoes and cane
are very good. Our Grange speaks of
sowing largely in wheat and oats this
fall, and planting less cotton a ltd more
corn, and if we can succeed in running
that channel, I think we will soon be
able to live and board at home.

THE LOST SATCHEL.
She came from Bristol, and when she
got off the train she discovered that
her big satchel had not come on with
the baggage. She flourished her check
under the baggage master’s nose, and
loudly demanded “that satetml,” and
after a long hunt lie was force® to say:
Madame, there is some mistake.
I’m sorry, but the satchel is sure to
come on the next train.
Do 3'ou suppose I’m going to wait
around here till to-morrow? she indig
nantly responded, pushing the check
under his eyes.
You on and wa^^^Hfekurd
it lo you, madam. a
‘bi'i uvo
on my baek are in it, and Trrrgoing to
have ’em or this road’ll git sued.
He made another search, failed to
find it, and said :
It must have been left, but it is sure
to come.
Where’s the boss of this road ? she
demanded, waving her chock around..
I’m going to sec if I am to be defrauded
of a satchel chuck full of as good
clothes as any woman of m3' age in
Indiana ever put on.
The man pointed down the depot,
and she walked up to the ticket office
and called for the agent.
See here, mister, I want §4O or my
satchel.
I don’t know anything about 3 r our
satchel, lie replied.
You don’t eh? she said, throwing
down the big brass check. What’s
that?
A check, madam.
Yes, a check for 1113' satchel, and now
that satchel can’t be found. It’s prob
ably been stolen, but I know every
thing in it. There was three chemies
with ruffles around the top; one new
night gown; two pairs striped stock
ings darned in the heels; one gray
dress which cost 28 cents a yard in
Bristol; another night-gown torn in
front: two check—
It was detained and will lie here on
the next train, he interrupted.
But I am bound for Chattanooga,
and don’t care for an)' of your next,
trains! she snapped.
Well, you will have to see some cue
else; I have nothing to do with the
baggage.
I’ll sec someone else, young man.
I’ll sec the man who bosses this road,
and I’ll have my satchel or the pay for
it, or i’ll have the whole crowd of you
in jail.
Turning away she caught sight of a
policeman, and bearing down on him
she said:
Be you a police?
Yes’in.
Well, then, I want the railroad ar
rested. They have stolen my satchel.
Oh, I guess you'll find it all right, he
replied. Baggage is frequently lost,
but always turns up all right again.
You have the check all right?
Yc3, and I can remember every arti
cle in it. There is a night gown torn
in front, there is a bottle of hair iuvig
oratorthat was never uncorked ; there’s
one new night-gown with rutiles around
the top; there’s two yards of flannel
for my daughter’s baby ; there’s a wiiite
envelope ; there’s a bottle of goose ilc;
there’s—
Olt, it will come along, interrupted
the ollicer-
And I’ve got to wait?
Yes, or go on and let them send it.
1 ymn if I will! she said, pushing
the check in his ear; 1 am going to
have that satchel or the worth of it!
I’d look purty landing in Chattanooga
with these old duds on, wouldn’t I?
Well, I can’t help you.
Then I’ll help myself. The Wilkin
sons never did let anyboly impose on
'em yet, and we shan’t ’low ic now.
Site got a boy to show her up stairs
to the general olliee, walked into the
superintendent's room, and asked :
Be you the boss of this road?
I’m the superintendent, lie replied.
You see that check?
\Y el!, < lists my satchel chesiH
satchel liain't here ; it’s
lost. I want forty dollars r^Bwway.
You’ll have to see tho baggage-mas
ter, then, madam.
I’ll see nobody! That satchel has
been hooked as sure as you tire born,
but I can identify it. 1 know every
thing in it. There was a night-gown
perfectly new, made of yard-wide
goods; there was a night-gown with a
hole in tho back; -there was a—
At this moment tho baggage-master
came in aud informed her that the lost
satchel had been found under a great
pile of trunks, and she arose and re
marked :
Well, that’s all right. Looks .to me
there was a little suspicion, but the
railroad wants to understand that 1
can stick up for ray rights with any
body. 1 was bound to have that satch
el or put the whole caboodle of you
where you couldn’t break out.
And parading up and down the de
pot, with the big satchel under her arm,
her oyo3 wore a look ol’ proud triumph.

. COURTESY.
Nowhere is well-bred courtos)', the
lack of it, more .observable than in
traveling. On the steamboat and in
the cars the quiet observer readil)'.de
tects those who have been educated
under refined influences, or those who,
without special cultivation, are pos
sessed of native politeness. It is not
education alone, nor wealth, nor higffi
social position alone, nor costly tranj
pings that make one a pleasant
ing companion. There must ex™ a
kindness of feeling toward strangers,
a general recognition of equal rights
iiijjjjg comforts and conveniences pro*
jn®®Abr the puhiic, and a quickened
of others.
on a XoiinTc of scats in the
cars, and persistently spreads his news
paper, determiuatcly unconscious that
others who have paid as much as lie
has arc looking in vain for a seat, is as
truly ill-bred as the country girl who
noisily eats her pint of peanuts, scat
tering the shells on seat and floor, re
gardless of the annoyance she gives
her neighbors. In this democratic
count;) - we travel in public conveyances
too much as though the) - were our own
private carriages. llow often the elev
enth and tweltli passenger in an omni
bus, who know they have full claim to
a seat, arc discomforted by the out
spread garments, and immovable atti
tudes and blank faces of those who
may have eutered tho stage before him.
Common civility demands that a move
ment be made to give room until the
complement is filled ; afterward courte
sy and generosity will often prompt to
attentions which justice may not re
quire. It is surprising how much the,
comfort and pleasure of any journey,
whether long or short, is enhanced by
these little nameless courtesies which
arc offered instinctively and unoflici
ously to stranger:;, by refined, well-bred
travelers, aud persons in whom native
tact and delicacy almost make up for
the lack of the educating aud refilling
influences of society.
LORD MANDEVILLE AND HIS
NEW YORK BRIDE.
Lord Mandoville’s name is not un fre
quently heard among the gossips, lie
was sent over here by his family to get
him away from a noted Italian coun
tess, a woman of greater beauty than
virtue, aud he was confided to the care
of the lady who is now his mother-in
law. .Site had been in England, and
the guest of the Mauchesters. Could
this lady have shown a greater zeal in
his welfare than to have given him her
daughter, Consuelo? And this, too,
she knew that this noble boy had no
ready cash for a wedding journey and
bridal gifts, that all his expenses are
paid (or unpaid) by loans from hia gen
erous friends belonging to the Polo and
Racket club -. Grundy says that not
one of my lord’s relatives attended hia
marriage, that is unrecognised by
his family, and that even the bridal tour
to Pelham Bridge was made in Colonel
Jay’s coach, aud that the hotel bill for
one night’s entertainment of $l5O is
half unpaid. But Coifsuelo will be a
duchess, some day, and the golden
youth who lend my lord money now,
will, by and by, be paid with interest in
being the guest of one of the oldest and
proudest families (on the husband’s
side) in England. At present, Lord,
at and Lady Mandcville are living in a
furnished house on Fifth avenue,
which was taken for two months by
papa, and the youthful couple. If
polo, racket, yachting, etc., can make
a honeymoon pleasant, the Mantle
villesare having a glorious time.—Now
York letter to St. Louis Republican.
SOMETHING QUITE SOFT.
“Why, your hands feels soft as silk,”
said I, as I shook hands with the wid
ow.
"Nonsense, Doctor,” she replied,
“lle.-e with some of your flattery, are
you? My hands are not as soft as
'your own this minute.”
| "Why, your hand,” said I, “feels so
soft I'll be afraid to squeeze it. 1 never
felt any tiling so soft.
Now, doctor, just listen at you again !
If you never felt anything as-softas my
hand, and even'softer—much softer—
you know it has been your own fault,
and 1 thought the willow blushed as
though sorry she had said it.
Pray, said, I, becoming deeply inter,
cited, what might L have felt that is
softer than your hand?
Ilu3h, now! You don’t know, of
course. You arc very innocent, and
then I could have sworn the widow was
blushing.
Upon my honor I don’t know, was
my still more interested reply; won’t
you toll mo or show me?
No. you know I won’t tell you.
Then show me, won’t you?
I don’t like to. But you arc such a
tease and such a dunce one must do al
most anything to get ri l. of you.
Ccrtai lily!
And site took my haul miueingly in
hers.
Now shut your eyes, doitor.
I closed my eyes in an instant. She
lifted ray hau lup and up. I held my
breath, aud, dear rea lor, before L sus
pected what slut was about, she had
placed it gently upon—my head.

got the idea through his wool that his
living was worth anything, when my
father asked him if he didn’t “make’’
his living. This man had enjoyed the
good things of life in profusion, pro
tected by the laws, surrounded by so
cial privileges, no gripings of poverty
for to-day or anxieties for to-morrow,
yet all these counted for nothing. If a
small balance was lound upon the right
side of tho ledger, it was just so much
made by living through the year ; but
if Uie balance was on the wrong side ;
he had not only lived in vain, but as
Artomus Ward said of Jell'. Davis,
that it would have been so much money
in his pocket if he had died last year.

we shall realize rather small “iiuy" for
farming operations generally. But is
money all, or even the most desirable
compensation? The value of our priv

deprived of them. Robinson Crusoe

The feeling that )'ou are settled an 1
fixed will induce you to work to improve
your farm, to plant orchards, to set out
shade trees, to inclose pastures, to build
comfortable out houses, and each sue
cessivo improvement is a bond to bind
you still closer to your homes. This
will bring contentment in the family.
Your wives aud daughters will fall in
love with the country your sons will love
home better than grog shops, aud pro
fer farming to measuring tape or profes
sional loafing, and you will be happy in
seeing the contented and cheerful faces
of your families. Make your home
beautiful, convenient aud cheerful!, and
your children will love it above all oth
er places; they will leave it with regret,
think of it with fondness, come back to
it joyfully, seek their chief happiness
around their home firesides,
Women and children need more than
meat, brrad and raiment; more than
acres of corn and cotton spread out all
around them. Their love for the boun
tiful must lie satisfied. Their taste
must be cultivated : their sensibilities
humored, not shocked. To accomplish
this good end homo must ho made love
ly, conveniences multiplied, comfort t
provided and cheerfulness fostered.
There must be both sunshine and shade,
luscious fruit and fragrant flowers, as
well as corn and cotton, l’he mind
and the field must be cultivated; aud
then intelligence and contentment will
he the rule instead of the exception.
Seek to, improve and beautify your
homesteads, for with this good work
comes contentment.

Mess. Editors : “Unity” in your la 4
issue suggested the names of gentle
men to represent us in the next legis
lature, who . for integrity aud moral
worth stands very high in the estima
tion of the people of Jefferson county.
The people know and honor and love
them, aud like "Unity,” I think the
olliee should seek the man, aud not the
man the office.
But how is it that “Unity” can sug
gest names, and yet if others do so
they are termed wirc-wotkers, and as
pitting out feelers? Can’ I not name men
who would ably represent us, and be ns
honest in it as "Unity.” I hope so,
and therefore will merely ask the ques
tion, llow would Col. Jus. Stapleton
and Col. M. A. Evans fill the bill?
They tilled one bill to the satisfaction
of many, the Liquf Bill. But 1 wilt
not advocate their claims, for fear I
come under the $5,00 rule. They have
their record, and will stand by it.
Neither of thorn is seeking olliee, and
know nothing of the writing of this.
Fair Flay.
