In the softly falling twilight
Of a weary, we»ty day,
With a quiet stop ifentrred
Where the cbiid**n were at play;
I was bruodiag o’er sumo trouble,
That hail m*l ■*■ unaware*,
febeu a little foie* came ringing, **
a |, H JU|f n4 pk' *»p the stair*,”
Aht it touchad the teudereat heart
string
With a breath and force divine,
And such melodies awakened
As word* can ne'er d. fin* •
And I turned to tea you, curling,
Alt forgetful of tuy care*,
When 1 saw the little creature
Slowly creeping up the stair*.
Step by steu sbe bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees,
Kteping up a constant chattering,
Like a magpie in the tree*;
'f ill at Inst she reached the tmmmet
When o'er all the world'* «ffair*,
Sne delighted stood a victor
After creeping up the stair*.
Faint in heart, behold an image
Of man’s brief and struggling life,
When best prizes must be captured, .
With noble, earnest strife;
Onward, upward, reaching ever,
Bending to the weight of caret.
Hoping, h-aring, atifl expecting,
We go creeping up the stair*.
On their step* may be no cat pet,
By their side may be no rail,
Hand* and kures may often pain us,
And the heart may also tail;
Still above there is a glory
Which no sinfulness impairs,
With it* rest and joy forever,
After creeping up the stairs.
The Arithmetic in Love
S lover* sat bpjieatli the shade.

Say, Oy nymph, wilt marry me?"
Then lisped she soft: “Why, 131 v 1"

A Mother'd Love,
work with a vim preparing to plant
n larger acreage in cotton this year.
The corn crop was injnred by Iho
long drouth in the summer, bat this
deficiency was, in, part, made good
by au abuudant crop of mast, on
rhich hogs grew fat in the woods
wi*hout trouble orexpeuse to their
owners.
Most persons slaughtered their
hogs during the cold wave which
passed over the conn try Christ mas
holidays; and millions of pounds ol
pork, it is estimated, were lost in
this State in consequence of the sum*
mer-lik* weatbar that ao quickly lol-
lowed.
Our local paper* bate much to say
concerning the advantages to be de
rived from the use ol the Clement
Attachment, a machine Lhaieonverts
the lint cotton into yarn as it sept'
rates it from the seed. Three of
Cass county’s eaeigtlic and enter
prising citizens have determined to
give the attachment a trial, and will
leave in a short time for Carolinn to
witness its performance and gather
all the information necessary to en
able them to put up and operate (he
machine. ’ ■ /
At Kellyville, five miles west of
Jt-flerson, Texas, the large plow fac-
tory ol G. A. Kelly, the store ol J,
Bowen, and other buildings all be
longing to Mr. Kelly, were destroyed
by tire an the 21st, ult.,. The loss
is estimated at 115,000. No insu
rance except $2,000 on Mr. Brown’s
property, which wil| nearly cover
iris loss. Mr. Kelly is rebuilding
and will be ready for business again
in a short time.
I have received Nv. I and 2 ill tire
Cherokee Advance, and am w<
pleased with it. It is worthy ol
liberal share of patronage, and should
have the unanimous support ot the
citizens of Cherokee county.

What is stronger or more lasting
than a mother’s love? Watch her
us she benda over the smiling face ol
her infant; with what rapture sht-
presses the loud treasure to her bos-
oaa. It is her darling, her pride.
When in aicknes who keeps the long
night watches, and catches every
muttered word or moan ? It is the
devoted mother. She smooths the
pillow of her suff-riug child and her
gentle lone falls like sweet music to
the ear.
It has been said, “What is home
without a mother ?” Ah, the truth
that is implied in these words. Bow
sad and desolate the child is who is
bereltofa mother. The gentle in
fluence she has ever her children,
their frieud and counselor in all their
joye and sorrows. She points out to
them the evils of life, and endeavors
to lift their thoughts to u higher,
nobler sphere, and her love and labor
is not lost. Lessons learned from a
mother’s lips will linger in the in c m
ory of her children when they have
attained man or womanhood. And
when in an hour of temptation they
will come like a ministering angel
beckoning them back from over the
dark abyss.
"We ought to love our mother,
She loved us long ago;
There is on earth noue other
That ever loved us so.’ -
Meriton.

policy, il such articles are to be in
eluded under the policy. Careless,
ignorant or unsophisticated brokers
and agents very frequently make
mistakes in this respect. The follow

Goods on storage must be represent
