Mrs. Boggs hud been under the
weather for two or three days. At
least she said she was, but these attacks
come rather frequently, Boggs
thought, for when his wife was having
one of her off spells lie had to cook the
meals and do all the housework. We
don’t remember what particular state
the weather was in this last time, but
Mrs. Boggs was under it, and she was
under it very bad. ‘she even told
Boggs that she didn’t believe she was
ever going to get up out of it, and she
made a hysterical request that he bury
her in some sunny spot where the birds
might come and sing to her ; and she
made him promise that he would bring
flowers once a week and scatter them
over her grave. A dozen times that
day was Boggs called from his work
in the kitchen to bid a last farewell to
his dying wife, but still she lingered,
fie had been through this experience a
great many times before, so he wasn’t
so much alarmed as he might otherwise
have been.
That night as he sat watching, like
tho affectionate husband he was, at
her bedside, she saw that he was deep
ly engrossed in a book.
“ What book aro you reading,
dear?” She faintly asked.
“ A railroad guide, my love,” wan
the reply.
“ What do you want with a railroad
guide ?” She inquired.
I want to see how far it is to
Washington, Penn., and how the
trains run,” said Mr. Boggs.
She would have asked him what he
l ad to do with Washington, Penn.,

into a doze the inclination to w hich
she didn’t care to repress, even though
h delayed the final departure that she
bad so often prated about. When she
a woke she saw Boggs bending over her
with a candle. He evidently hadn’t
observed that she was awake, so clos
ing her eye she feigned sltep and over
heard the following to soliloquy, which

night next to the stove. But a pecu

The Atlanta Constitution.
Under its new mnnngcmcn\ The Atlanta
Constitution lias won for itsell the title oi' the
leading journal of the south. Its enterprise,
during the recent election excitement, iu send
ing correspondents to different portions of the
country, aud its .series of special telegrams from
Washington while the electoral commission was
engaged in consumating the fraud, that placed
radicalism once more in power in our national
councils, are evidences conspicuous enough to
prove that no expense will bn spared to make
Tils: Constitution not only a leader in the dis
cussion of matters of public concern, but a
leader in the dissemination of the latest and
most reliable news, l’here is no better time
than now to subscribe
A Fresh and Vigorous Newspaper.
Albeit, there has been aquasi settlement of
one of the most difficult anil dangerous pro
blems of modern federal politics, tho discussions
spring therefrom and the results likely to ensue
have lost nothing of their absorbing interest.
In addition to this, the people of Georgia are
now called upon to settle
The Convention Question,
and in tlie discussion of this important subject
(in which The Constitution will take a leaning
part) every Georgian is interested. If a conven
tion is called its proceedings will find their
earliest and fullest embodiment in the columns
of TnE Constitution, and this fact alone will
make the paper indispensable to everr citizen ot
the state. To he brief.
The Atlanta Daily Constitution
will endeavor, by all the means thut the pro
gress of modern journalism has made possible .
and necessary to hold its place as a leader of
southern opinion and as a purveyor of the latest
news. Its editorials will be thoughtful, timely
and vigorous—calm and argumentative in tlieii
methods and thoroughly southern and demo
cratic iu their sentiments. Its news will be
fresh, reliable and carefully digested. It will
be allertand enterprising, and no expense will
be spared to make it the medium oi the lotect
and most important intelligence.
The Weekly Constitution-
Besides embodying everything of interest i.i
the daily, The Weekly Constitution will con
tain a Department of Agriculture, which will b«
in charge of Mr. Malcolm Johnson, tho well-
known Secretary of Georgia State Agricnltffral
Society. This department will be made a spe
cialty, and will be thorough and complete. The
farmer will find in it not only all the current in
formation on the subject of agriculture, bus
timely suggestions and well-digested advice.
