FIXING UP FOR WINTER,
Havin’ time is over,
Summer’s on the wane,
Got in all the clover,
Binding up the grain.
Crop* is oIT tur market,
Money’s in the bank,
Gittm lixccl fur winter,
With the Lord tur thank.
Grind yewr axe up, Charley,
Gityewr nails out, Ned,
Fell yewr trees fur fuel
Patch the heifer’s shed.
Fixin’ up fur winter,
Celler stocked with juice,
Popcorns, tire an’ apples,
Say, now, what’s the use?
The Folly of It.
Although on summer love he fed,
At last he finds September makes it dwindle;
For, hack in town, the girls all cut hiln dead.
And make him see too late it is a swindle.—

TRIALS OF ARTISTS.
Many people think artists lead a
charmed life, living continually in an
atmosphere of romance and beauty.
This, it* a mistake: when one knows
the actual facts, one finds the path of
an artist beset with many difficulties,
and full of discouragements.
It is true artists can weave imagin
ary fancies and invest them with the
gleam of poetry: were it not for this
artistic temptrament that leads them
into channels untrodden by others,
and the divine love of art atm nature
they posess, there would be little that
was B..viable in the life of an artist.
Mr. Drummond, the most, success
ful artist of one or our Southern cities
relates some of his experiences in the
field of portraiture.
Some of these incidents are pathet
ic, some amusing; many of them attest
the ignorance of the public in gener
al concerning matters of art.
The following are sparkling with
humor and are to be recorded:
* *
A soeietv lady of no great personal
beauty desired a portrait of herself,
and chose theprofile view as being the
tnos' attractive of her face. The por
trait was painted, and as the artist
knew his business flattered the lady,
so that not only whs she very much
pleased, but her husband and the
whole family were equally delighted
with it. The cash was cheerfully' giv
en, and the picture sent home to adorn
their palatial residence and be a thing
of beauty, but, alas! a joy of short du
ration. A few months elapsed, when
one day the lady w'alked into the stu
dio accompanied by her footman car
rying this same portrait of herself.
She told the artist, that she had de
cided that the full view of the face
would look better, someone having
r emarked that it would be still prettier
of her; and she wanted the artist to
change the picture to a lull face.
Could she have thought it was wor
ked by machinery and that the artist
could just twist the whole thing a
round till it was in the j osition she
desired?
Evidently she did, for when she was
informed of the impossibility, she still
persisted that it could be done; and
for all of this she expected to pay no
extra charge.
q.—*—o
A y'oung lady had saved up fifteen
dollar, and wishing to put the money
to the best possible use, thought that
a portrait of her mother would give
her, more pleasure than anything else
the fifteen dollars could purchase; She
gave the order to Mr. Drummond, and
thought the price was far less than
Mr. Drummond always got, he
thought that as it was for such a laud
able object, (no doubt he was badly
, iff nec'rl-of -tuolley) lie would make an
exception amt paint tlie portrait for
that price.
The picture being completed, Mr.
Drummond look it to the home of tlie
young lady who was well pleased with
the likeness. The picture was hung
,in tlie best light, and Mr. Drummond
Iqft with the fifteen pieces of silver
jingling lit his pocket.
‘ That .evenihg an te was received
by the artist flora the young lady, say
mg, that after mere matiir reflection
she had deckled to buy something else
with tlr* fifteen dollars, and asked Mr.
Drummond to please send back for
her mother’s portrait and return the
money.
It is needless to say Mr. Drummond
did not aeceed to her wishes, though
he could not resist the temptation of
writing a sa eastic note declining to
re-pur.;hase his own work.
— o*o —
widow having her deceased Itus
.,ha id’s portrait painted, did not think
it was a perfect drawing, though she
admitted it looked like him. ' Her
friends and relatives came to look at
the picture and all pronounced it a
perfect likeucss. Even then the
widow was not satisfied still thinking
the proportions imperfect; at last she
said she would send an architect to
measure the picture, and il he thought
it correct she would abide by bis do'
cision.
The architect she sent happened
to be known to the artist, and to help
him out ol the difficulty reported fa
vorably about the picture. The
widow feeling convinced now; (as an
architect must be an expert judge of
portraits,) accepted the picture';
—o- —o—
Mr. Mathew, a middle aged widower
lived with his daughter Mrs. burton.
lie gave an order to Mr. Drummond
to paint the portrait of his dead wife,
and when completed to take it to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Burton
stating, that he was going o it of the
city for some time, hut if his daughter
was pleased with the mother’s port
rait, he knew he would he pleased also,
The day Mr. Drummond took the
portrait to the horn' 1 of Mrs Burton
he noticed she was greatly agitated
and decided that seeing the life-like
portrait of her mother was the cause.
Mr. Drummond was just leaving
the door when he met an acquaintance,
who asked him if he had been to offer
his congratulations to the groom, Mr.
was surprited to hear the groom was
the old widower, who had arrived
from his wedding trip with wifey Ku
two only a few hours before.
That accounted for his daughter’s
disturbed appeatance.
Rather an odd coincidence—the Ist
wife’s life size portrait and wife nitm
two to arrive simultaneously.
The artist afterward became ac
quainted with Mrs. Mathew the 11,
and she promised to sometime let him
paint her portrait also. Then it happ
ened that for a year and a half the
artist lost all sight of his former pat
rons.
One day cards wereb rouglit up to
him announcing Air. and Mrs - Math
ew- He went into the studio expect
ing that at last Mrs. Mathew had conn*
to have her portrait painted.
As Drummond entered his studio
he saw a strange lady looking at his
pictui es; but there was tlie same wid
over who advanced to meet him, and
introduced the lady as Mrs. Mathew
number three. He then proceeded to
explain that wife number two was
dead, and he had called to have her
picture enlarged from a piioto.
: 010 :
If tliis programme continues for a
few years longer the artist will be in
receipt of an assured income.
Well, these few instances give an
idea of the ludicrous as well as vex
atious side of an artist’s life. Artists
however soon acquire the tact neces
sary to cope with all kinds of peopb*,
awl become hardened to disappoint
ments.
These are soon forgotten when by
some happy touch of tne brush they
make sme picture wh eh elicits
the appreciation and admiration of all
the world, and wins for them fame
and fortune.

CHANGE IN STAMP COLORS.
.Made Necessary By Postal Con
gress-Will Help Mail Clerks.
from the lloston Transcript.
Postage stumps of only three donnni
inations are affected by the resolutions
of the recent.lnternational postal con
gress in regard to uniform colors. The
5-cent stamp or its equivalent, in every
country belonging to the universal
postal union, must . e printed, in dirk
blue, the 2-cent in red and the 1-cenl
in green.
We sliiil!, therefore, keep the carmine
2-cent stamp used for dome tie letter
postage, take the blue from Benjamin
Franklin on the 1-coot and give it to
President tirant on the 5-cent stamp
and rob our 10-cent Daniel Webster, to
color Franklin Green. All this will
not have to be done, however, until
! January 1, 1899. Meanwhile, Great
Britain has saved her equivalent of our
5-cent stamp: Germany her 5-cent
and her 2-cent stamps, and France,
1 [tally and Norway their 1-eenf stamps,
j by having them alrea ,3 ol the colors
required.
The changes have been long in com
ing, having failed at the Lisbon and
Vienna congresses, largely through the
opposition of our government. An
effort has been made through chemical
experiments to lind for die three
stamps most used in international cor
respondence certain color:- \\ inch would
be obliterated by the action cf the
ink of the post mark or cunce'ling
stamp. Large sums are lost yearly in
| European states by the illicit ti.ue ot
washing stamps and using tin a rone
time. It is believed that the colors
finally decided upon possess the valua
ble quality of weakness under the
application of cancelling ink.
Tit; demand for uniformity in th->
denominations is due to the difficulty
of deciphering the value of a stamp
after cancellation. If the universal
rule is “blue 0-cent, rad 2-cent, green
1-cent,” the postal clerk has only to
bear in mind that the-stamps of all
countries printed in these colors re
spectively are of the same values n.-
thestamps issued by Ins own govern
ment, and will not need to strain hi
eyes to read the legend on an unfamiliar
and badly smeared foreign stamp.
The question mow is whether clerks
who handle foreign mails WiJl' not have
to be tested for color blindness along
with the vest of their e:emulations
for appointment or promotion.
Warning' to Tax Collectors nml
Tax Payers.
Comptroller General Wright wants
every tax collector in the state to col
lect Ins taxes promptly and turn them
ill. lie will take no excuses for de
lay. In an official letter which he
has sent to all the collectors he says:
“The legislature empowers and
requires me to cause the taxes to be
collected by the 20th of December
next, and upon failure, of any lax col
lector to do so, it is made my duty
to issue li. fas. againct each uad every
collector who has failed to settle his
account, and to place said li. las. in
tue hands of an officer tor collection.
I shall therefore obey tlio law, and n
is strictly enjoined upon volt to give
the public the notice required b,
section llii-l of the code, paragraph b
at as early a day as practicable, in
order that the people may have ample
opportunity to pay their taxes, so
that volt can settle your account
with this office at the time required
i>y law.
“Tt x s are a necessity aud must
be paid and it is much easier to col
lect them before titan after December.
The law requires the payment of
taxes before any other debt (see code,
!812), 1 therefore urge upn.i you the
necessity of so arranging your dales
I and f ppointmems tint ymi may he
au.e to coliect the taxes during the
months of .September, October and
November. I now forewarn you
that the law relating to defaulting
collectors will he sUicDv and rigidly
enforced, and the seuintics on, vour
bon 1 notified if your settlements are
promptly made.”
•Judging from the way the above
real's, it looks like the State author
ities are going to have every u .e pay
his taxes on time wbet.ln r or lmt
v.otton be 5 or 15 cents per pound.
While it is true taxes lia-e to be
paid we mast sav that the authori
ties ought to remember that bread
and meat have to be had even more
regularly and promptly than taxes.
Such a law as one which requires
the puyiueut • f taxes before any
other debt should speedily be wiped
off the books and in fact the country
would be better off if such an unjust
law was absolutely exterminated.
Motwithstandmg, we all have to
obey the laws aud of course will have
to pay our taxes so that proper settle
ments can be made with the head
officer.
Therefore ft will be well for every
one to go at once, and pay bis taxes
and be clone with that matter for this
year. But it would be well if o.tr
lawmakers would be more particular
in many other branches of our State
departments.

Of i; ]l seasons of the year Autumn
is the most exhilarating, refreshing
and Satisfactory; it is then the farmer
is I>. ing rewarded for his yea:iy toil:
■a smile <>f gladness enlivens his face,
as he watch* s his cribs being well
filled with the golden harvest, his
barns amply stored with forage, and
his pen full of thrrfty pigs that greet
him with a satisfactory grunt. Ail
these and many more are substantial

them, and it does not require the
close reasoning of a Philosopher, or
the astuteness of a lawyer, to con
vince the practical farmet that there
is more soli 1 comfort hi tilling the
soil than any other occupation man
can follow. Our interest in forming
has been greatly stimulated'dfTate
not from an advance m taxes and a
decline of cotton; but by receiving
from Washington, D. C. three large
beautifully bound and handsomely
illustrated volumes, containing ini'
and grupic reports of the agricultural
and Interior departments of our gov
ernment for the past four years:
After feasting our eyes upon the
nianv hgh,ly colored pictures of vari
ous plains, fruits, bugs, n-pLics and
flowers, we decided to take up the
study of agriculture in a scientific
way, so we retired with one of til**
books to a somewhat secluded spot,
where our thoughts could expand
without interruption. We had not
proceeded tur it: our investigations
when we stumbled upon such words
as Liptdapten.ee, Eaetuedoe, Ayper
-1 tolas, Para olas and the like, some
times whole sentences were made tip
of such out landish words; then it
was our reason tottered on its throne,
and when we canto to realize the true

hi? day and time a good speller, and
an expert in hard words. We under
stand the author of these works has
been stricken with a hopeless ease
of insomnia; and ,ve have decided t<> j

sutution, lliat is fostered and ttiain
tahled by the tux payers of the stale
that could tie a name string; put on
a scooter plough l'ightstde up, make

If a young man wishes to make a far

tages ob that litre at home, let him
give his time to some practical far
mer for a year, and if he is any ways
smart he will come out with a better
knowledge of fanning than he could
get iu five years kicking foot balls at
Athens. While we me lufavor of

It is to be hoped the people in the
