Mr D. I. Wileoxson, of Horse
A MIsrSUERSTAXDDiU.
“Please, Miss. Mr. Villars told
me I needn't wait for an answer,”
said the boy as lie disappeared,
with a flourish of heels over the
picket fence, while, in true girlish
wonderment, pretty Estelle Mar-
l inc tore ofT the envelope and read:
“Dear Miss Maktixe: A tele
gram of importance calls me East
to day. but liefore going I beg to
cancel my engagement, with the
ho|ic that you will find some one
that will please you lieller.

Harold Vi leaks.”
For fully ten minutes Miss
Martino stared at the shocking
lines, aghast.
“It surely must he a dream,"
she thought—“a terrible dream!”
That Harold Villars, her lover
and life long friend, should add
his quota toiler misfortunes seem
ed inc cd ble.
But there was the proof of bis
perfidy and cowardice io black
and white.
“Going to sne me!” cried the
astonished Estelle, when one day
her neighbor’s “man of-all work”
informed her of a prospective
suit at law. Why, I never was
in court iu my life. It—it would
be a disgrace, indeed it would;
ami all my friends would know
of it, and— But let him sue.

ever love anybody but Harold,

And while the indignant wo
man wept over the inevitable dis
grace or a lawsuit and the loss of
her youth's idol, Harold Villars
stormed that a miserable old
maid should call him, an aesthetic
gentleman, a contemptible puppy.

Cleveland as A Speaker.
President Cleveland made sev
eral speeches in Philadelphia dnr
ing the centennial celebration of
the adoption of the constitution
of the Union, and in ail showed
himself a speaker as well as a
thinker. Here is the eloquent
conclusion of his formal address:
“We stand to-day on tlic spot
where this rising sun emerged
from political night and darkness,
and in its own bright meridian
light we mark its glorious way.
Clouds have sometimes obscured
its rays, and dreadful storms
have made us fear; but God lias

as wc realize how completely the

ledly should we contcss with
Franklin: “God governs in the

should be the reflection that to

of people's covenant, and that
ours is the duty to shield it from 1
impious hands. Wc receive it

If I Could fio Back.
Often do wc hear persons in
life's meridian, and even in ad
vanced years, say. “It I could go
hack to childhood and youth and
live over again my past life, I
would make it. different” Why
this longing to go hack? Be
cause their retrospect brings out
their mistakes and neglected op
IKirtnnities. Alas! we can never
go back. From thia the young
should learn an im|iortant lesson.
They should lake the experience
of those who have gone before as
a lamp to guide them. They
should labor assiduously to avoid
the erjors of their predecessors.
Haw “Dixie” Came to be Written.
It was on Saturday night in
1859 wltrn Dan Emmett was a
member of Bryant's Minstrels in
New York, that Dan Bryant came
to Eminctl and said: “Dan, can't
you get us up ■ wnlk-arnund? I
want something new and lively
for Monday night.” At that date
Minstrel shows used to wind up
with a walk-around. The de
mand for them was constant, and
Emmett was the composer of all
of them for Bryant's Minstrels.

Some South Carolinians, who
moved into Georgia in the fifties
and settled in Cass county, at old
Cassvillc, were very much aston
ished at some of the Georgia
ways, and especially the ways of
the judges and lawyers.
In South Carolina they had
been accustomed to see judges al
ways wear gowns on the bench;
every lawyer was required to wrap
his form in a black cloth Prince
Albert coat. It was the custom
also for the sheriff, wearing a uni
form, and a sword, to esenit the
judge from his room to the bench
with great dignity. The bailiffs,
with the long Jacob staffs, were
required to preserve order in keep
ing with the great dignity of the
court.
To these Smith Carolinians it
was an odd sight to see Judge A.
R. Wright, then an attorney at
Cartersville, silting in the court
house window with his coat off.
while the other lawyers wore such
apparel as suited tlieir'gvaried
tastes and pocket hooks, aud tlic
presiding judge sat upon the
bench without a gown.
They soon discovered, however,
that Georgia lawyers were not
lacking in ability, eloquence or
wit. The traditions of the pro
fossion have preserved fragments
of many a great speech, many a
hurst of eloquence and innumcra
blejsallies of wit.

Oliver Wendell Holmes is fond
of spinning a bumming top.
A man must be excessively sin
pid. as well as uncharitable, who
believes there is no virtue hut un
his own side.
Those that place their hope in
another world have in a great
measure conquered dread of death
and unreasonable love of life.
Lifeoften seems like long ship
wrecks, of which the debris are
friendship, glory and love; the
shores of existence are strewn
with them.

‘why do men snore?’
‘Give it up,’ lie replied shortly,
with a suspicious look.
‘You snore, dear.’ she continued.
‘What do you do it for?’
T don : t snore at all,’ repled Mr.
Montgomery, emphatically. -It's
that dodgasted fool in the next
house.’
‘YVnmen never snore,’ remarked
Mrs. Montgomery reflectively, as
she drop|ied a pinch of salt in her
husband's coffee. *1 wonder why!'
-Can’t tell’ replied Mr. Mont
gomery.
•Why?
‘Well, you can’t snore unless
your mouth is open. A woman
works her jaws so confoundedly
hard during the day that when
night comes it is so tired that she
has to close it up and give it a
chance 16 recuperate.’
like to die in that town, as he
could leave it with less regret
than any place lie knew.^Strange
to say. Providence so willed. The
Judge was called to Marietta on
business; lie was suddenly taken
ill, and died the next day.
Judge YV. F. Wright, who diet!
several months ago, presided in
the circuit of which Coweta form
ed a part. In the Coweta circuit
served a bailiff named Parrot,
who was a favorite of Judge
Wright, and a kinsman of Judge
Pa. rot, who presided in the cir
cuit of which old Cass county
was a part.
On one occasion the two judges
exchanged circuits for a week or
so, and Judge- Parrot dSme down
to Newman, lie was much an
noyed one morning by talking
and disorder in the court, and
looked about for the bailiffs who
he did not know and could not sec.
“Mr. Sheriff. I can’t recognize
your officers; provide Jacob staffs
for these bailiffs.”
The sheriff soon had the Jacob
staffs and offered them to the
bailiffs. Bailiff Parrot refused to
take the one offered him, saying
that he ‘wouldn't have the d—n
thing.’
Presently the Judge said.
‘Mr. sheriff I see one of your
bailiffs without a Jacob staff;
; how is that ?'
re-
lie
wouldn't have the d—n thing.’
‘Bring the bailiff before the
court.’
Parrot was brought in and
looked as if lie didn't care wheth
er school kept or not.
‘Did you say that, sir?’
‘Yes, I did, and I meant it; I
didn't have any use for the stick.’
He was sent to jail for several
days and then sent word that he
would carry the staff, which lie
did afterwards with great dignity.
Judge Wright learned of the
occurrence and determined to get
oven with Judge Parrot. The
next morning he said, in a very-
solemn tone:
‘This court ou ordinary occa
sions, is a kind hearted and mer
ciftil court, hut this morning it is
a revengeful court. Judge Parrot
lias put my favorite bailiff in jail
and I think I will have to put the
sheriff of this court in jail.’
This almost took the sheriff's
breath away, ns lie did not under
stand Judge Wright’s way-. Me
soon learned that ‘this court was
not such a revengeful court as lie
first thought.'—Atlanta Journal.

Fast Walking Farm H«
Profits arc small on all Tariff
products and all kinds of live'
stock at present, and the farmer
who makes money on any invest
ment in his direct line of btfsi-
ness, or by- raising crops of stock,
must watch the corners' closely
and prevent, if possible, anything
that partakes of the nature of
waste. The economy of time is
one of the things to be looked af
ter as closely as anything elsr<
and which the kind of horses that
are kept has considerable to do
with. Compare the distance'
traveled in a day by a Strong
sturdy, fast walking team with
that which a slow, creeping team
will travel, and the difference will
be surprising. If this difference'
of a day is so noticeable, what
must that of a year or the aver
age life lithe of a horse be? If.
tlic slow team pulls a plough or
draws a load hut twenty miles
per day, while the other covers
twenty five miles with as little fa
tigue, it is to calculate what the
differences would he in a year,
and how long it would take to
gain .i whole year’s time by rising
the active instead of the slothful
horses. As the most of the farm
work is done at the walking gait,
it is then the duty of the farmer
to look after the walking quali
ties ol the horses he iirecils,- as
much as it is for those who breed
fast horses to look after the speed
producing qualities of the horses
they rear. While much depends
upon the training of a horse as to
whether he is a fast walkef or
not, there is a great deal in tho
breeding. Some horses are natu
rally fast walkers, and, like natu
ral fast trotters or pacers, can
stand to work at their natural
gait much '(belter than those
which acquired tlie'liahit^of walk
ing fast by being.pushed. Ac
tive, energetic horses, with an in
clination for getting over the
ground with a J strong, |’square’
walk, will be more apt to produce
colts that will he a success iu this
direction,. than clumsy horses
with sleepy- dispositions, aWd
these points should be considered
when selecting for breeding pur-'
poses.—National Stockman.

Bachelors'.
Old bachelors. Verre fable
ra ne! Tender impulses swell my
young heart at its'mention. They
arc the dearest old uncles in tlAs
world! I love to sit on their
knees—my arms about their
necks, or mechan'cally twisting
my finger through their hair,’
though it be neglected, look into
their faces aud j listen to their
stories of yore.^Thosc kalcycff
days when a mother's love (made
home dear—sister's smiles, ca
resses and indulgence—radiantly'
htiglit, sweet nnd comforting in'
memory’s storage. The strong-'
ties of brotherly love, the remin
iscence of which brings a youth
ful light and joy to his dear old'
eyes. Now a shadow falls over
and dims those eyes when with
melting sadness, in choked ac
cents, he tells of withered hopes
and undying lovfs; while great
tears start and his bosom heaves
great sighs. In my symyathy,-
love and admiration for this best
and dearest of creatures, I clasp
my arm around'bis wrinkled neclr
and imagine angels with such'
sweet nnd beautiful faces bend
ing over him cheerily whispering
hope, poialing upward then to
gether they flit away, beckoning-
him onward.
YVlint a great big heart he has!
who would 1 wound it? YVe will
prop him; we will guard him, for
on his heart are unhealed sores—
tender, painful. Do not cross'
him, do not vex him, for he is OtH.-
Form not for him a shell of dis
content and worry with which tv
shrink from taunts and slurs, and
glare back upon you with wild,-
wicked, vicious eyes. He has li
beller nature—seek it—touch it.

Nothing else to do ; nil alone.'-

All our watchfulness combined;
