WAITING.
O’er the mantel bangs a picture,
And the glowing fire below
Throws its light across the framework
On a head as white as snow.
’Tis mj mother! and the firelight
Plays around her sainted blow,
While her ever gentle features
Seem to smile upon me now.
Often on a peaceful evening
When all light from earth had fled,
By the fire I sit so lonely
Dreaming sweetly of the dead.
For I know that when the icebergs
On lifo’s ocean I have passed,
And am calmly floating onward
To that peaceful home at last.
• I shall look beyond the waters,
Where the landing-place will be,
And my mother I’ll see waiting—
Wailing thereto welcome me.

Some days ngo ft dissemiuatai of
Chaff, noticed a little boot-black
culling Homo bright blossoms Irom
a bruised and faded boquet which
a chambor maid had thrown irom a
wiudow into the alley.
“W hot are you doing with that
boquet, iny lad?” asked tho dis
seminator.
“Nawthin’,” was the lad’s reply,
as he kept ou at his work.
“But do you love flowers so well
that you are willing to pick them

CANTON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY
AN ANGEL'S TOUCH.
One ovening, not long ngo, a
little gill of nine or tou entered a
place in which is a bakery, grocery
and a saloon, in ono, and asked
tor livo cents worth ol tea. “How
is your mother ?” esked tho boy
who came forward to wait on her.
‘‘Awful sick, and ain’t had any
thing to oat all day 7 .’’ Tho boy was
just then called te wait upon some
men who entered tho saloon, and
the girl sat down. In five minutes
she was nodding and in seven she
wns sound asleep and leaning her
head ngsinst a barrel, whilo sho
held her poor nickle in a tight
grip between her thumb and fin
ger. Ouo of tho mon saw her as ho
came from tho bar, and after asking
who she was, said: “Say 7 , you
drunkards, soo here. Here we’ve
been pouring down whisky when
this poor child and her mother
want bread. Here’s a two dollar
bill tlmt says I've got some feeling
left.” “And I can add a dollar,”
observed ouo. “Aud I’ll give an-

fully put the bill between two of
the sleeper’s fingers,drew the nicl*

rades : “Jist look a-tliere—the

big tear had rolled out from her
closed eyelid, but the face was
covered with a smile. The man
walked overaad touched tllbsleep-

“O, certainly, but you
do not expect to sell those faded
flowers?’’
“Soli ’em! who want’s to Bell
’em ? I’m goiti’ to take ’em to
Lil.’
“0, 0, Lil is your sweetheart, I
tee. 1
“No. Lil is not my sweetheart;
she’s my sick si 'ter,’ s lid the hoy,
us his eyes flashed aud his lips
quivered.
“Lil’s boon eick a long timo, an’
lately she talk’s nothin’ hut fl >wers
an’birds, but mother tole me tins
mornin’ that Lil would die b-b-be-
lore the birds an’ flowers would
come buck.”
And the hoy hurst into tears.
“Come with me to the florist’s,
and your sister **<iall liuvo a nice
boquet.”
The little fellow was soon hound
ing homo with his treasure.
Next day he appeared aud sa'd :
“I came to thank you, sir, for Lil.
That boquet done her so much
good, aud she hugged and hugged
it till sho set herself a coughin’
again. She says Bhe’ll come bime
by and wotk tor you soon’s she
get’s well 7 ”
Au order was sent to florist's to
give tho boy every other day a bo
quet for Lil.
It was only tbe day before yes-
torday that, the boot-black appear
ed again. He stepped inside tbe
door and said:
“ 1 bank you sir, but Lil—Lil
(tears were streaming from his
eyes) wont—need—tho flowers
any more.”
He went quickly away, but
briel words had told the story.
Lil won’t need the flowers any
more, but they will grow above
her and the birds will sing around
her just the same.

A CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.
“For a grown person tout* drops

quarters of a tumbler of water,
with a smaller dose lor children.
The ett'oot of this treatment is in-

stroying the parasites and the pa
tients coughing up the obstruc
tion. Sufferers have recovered iu
a lew minutes by adopting the
Greathead treatment. Children al
most previously iu a dying state
were declared to he playing about
within ten minutes, and at a com
putation some forty or fifty of these
sudden recoveries have been plac
ed on record, with full and satis
factory results of the performance
of this wonderful, infallible and
quick cure for diphtheria. When
necessity demands you to arrest
this dangerous disease, don’t neg
lect to test the virtue of the Great-
head treatment.’’

AN AFFIDAVIT WANTED.
The revolver, according to a
London paper, is iu nil probability
dectinod to bo shortly discarded
from uso in tho army, navy, Irish
constabulary, and othor govern
ment services iu favor of a new
weapon, the mitraillous pistol, in
which there are tour barrels, which
are loaded at once by a patent
quadruple cartridge big enough to
afford good hold !o tho fingers.
Forty shots per minute cau bo dis
charged, and tho empty cartridges
ejected automatically. As there is
no opening through which uny gas
can escape, tho weapon can bo
used gun fashion when aiming,
and there are no screws, hammers,
or projections to catch the cloth
ing, reins,or accoutrements. Above
ail, there is no fear of a jam or the
weapon becoming unserviceable
trom overheating. The pistol will
take the ordinary government car -
tridgo.
