l ~r the Courant-A inerlmn. Tin* Old Familiar Faros. • I have had playmates, 1 have had compan ions In my days of childhood, in my joyful school day, —"All. all an* gone, the old familiar faces." After reading those beautiful and ex pressive lines by Charles Lamb, my thoughts wandered baek to my own youth-time, and the old familiar faces of those halcyon days. Ah! me, the many beautiful, intelligent i res that rise up before me like a passing panorama. First I see a bright, interest ing girl, a companion of iny childhood, not beautiful in form and feature, but beautiful in her christain purity, kind and gentle and helpful, always the first at the bedside of suffering whispering words of consolation to the distressed, the first in deeds of charity, the first in all good works, but by and by, wo all grew up to wamanhood, and one day in the sweet summer tins* when the birds sang love songs all tha day, and the flowers bloomed in rich luxuriousness, a minister came and she put her hand in liband promised to love him until “death uh do part," and together they went away to his home in Virginia to teach wayward humanity the touching and pathetic story of the cross. And there was Jeanie, our Bonny Jean wc called her, the most beautiful rose of “I he rosebud garden of girls," her deli cate flower face would light up with a spiritual beauty, when animated, that no word painting of mine can describe. She ways always the most graceful m the dance, the fairest at the play, and tin* most brilliant in conversation. Hon we all admired our charming, our bewitching, our magnificent Bonny Jean; of course many lovers whorshipped at hershrine, but there was one more fa vored than the rest, and he slipped a ring on her finger with the word “Mispah” en graved therein, but alas! the talismaipc charm that is supposed to hover around that little word was powerless to keep another from coming between the lovers. Ere long, Prince Charming came to town, a gay young man with a high sounding French name and a fine tenor voice, and he was really an arbiter ele gantiarum. and he fell in love with Bonny •lean, and one night when the stars twinkled knowingly at each other, and fin' whippoorwills sang sad wailing mel odies in the pine trees. Jeanie ran away from tin' home of her childhood to the minister's house and was married; how fair and fickle and false. As 1 sitthisevoning in thebright ruddy glow of the fire light listening to the sailing of the winds outside, me thinks 1 s" many many well remembered faces of hygotie days. ‘ 0 host-like I paced round the haunts of my childhood, U n til seem'd a desert I was bound to traverse, Seeking to tlml the old tamiliar fines. Some they have died, and some they have left me, Ami some are taken from me; all are departed; All, all are prone, the old familiar faces." X ATI LIE. Cartersvillo, Xov. 5, I,SSS. At*Xew Iberia and Abbeville, La., we learn that the farmers are putting up manlier bales of cotton than is t*<e usual custom —a bale that one man can easily handle. The opinion is steadily growing that our cotton bales are too heavy and clumsy and hefjee too unwieldy to han dle with tin* ease that they should be. V. bile it is probable that the entire char acter of bagging material may change in a short time—a cheaper and better substitute being brought into general use to replace jute—it is also likely that the next important step to betaken in the handling of cotton, may be to reduce the size of the bales. —Southern Live i Stock Journal.
