The marriage turned rite was over, and tho’ I aside To keep the guests from seeing the tears i could not hide, I wreathed my face in smiling, and led my little brother To greet my father’s chosen one, but I could not call her mother! She is a fair young creature, with meek and gentle airs, AVith eyes so soft and melting and sunny silken hair; I know my father gave her the love be bore another, But if she were an angel I could not call her mother! Last night I heard her singing the song I used to love, AVhen its dear notes were uttered by one who sings above; It pained my heart to hear it—the tears I could not smother— For every tone was hallowed by the voice of my dear mother. My father in the sunshine of happy days to come darkened May forget tiie shadow that our loved home; Ills heart no more is lonely, but I and little brother Must still be orphan children—God gives us but one mother. They took mv mother’s picture from its accustomed place, fairer, Ami placed beside my father a younger face, They made the dear.old chamber the castle of another, But I will never forget thee, my own, my own, dear mother!

One Sunday after¬ noon Fletcher Hodges of the Courier Journal, Jay Durham of the Galves¬ ton News, and myself were in the ‘fake mill,’when Durham remarked that a story was needed for a weekly letter, and asked for a suggestion, Durham said that a White House fake was the best, when Hodges laughingly said, ‘Let’s make Airs. Cleveland discard the hustle and see how it will take.* The suggestion was adopted. Hodges wrote the story and the three of us sent it out simultaneously. Immediately it was copied and recopied; there were edi¬ torials on it, fashion journals took it up and women all over the country commenced discarding the bustle. Mrs. Cleveland was one of the last to do it, but even she eventually came into line, and now it seems to be the universal custom. Thus you see the benefit of an occasional fake.” —E. AY. Barrett, m Constitution. Jute Being Used. Then* is considerable complaint be¬ ing made over the state that there is being too much jute bagging used for covering cotton this season. The farmers could not help themselves, as there was not enough cotton cov¬ ering, and then jute is cheaper than the cotton by a big difference. Let the people use whatever that will put the most money in their pockets. All of the Lightning medicines at AlcConnell it Cannon’s. .Sold on a positive guarantee. Facts lor lie Sid A Letter from an Eminent Divine in Re¬ gard to tiie Best Medicine in tiie World. Read. WONDERFUL CURES. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2, ’i)0. Six months ago, at the request of a friend who was interested in the sale of King’s Royal Germetuer, I made a written statement, of the ben¬ efits I had received from the use of that medicine. In that statement I expressed the belief that it would cure me entirely of Catarrh. AA'itbin the last two months 1 have received letters from every quarter of the na¬ tion calling on me for further infor¬ mation in regard to my health. It has been impossible for me to write privately to each person who lias made this request, and I am there¬ fore under the necessity of making another statement. I am free from Catarrh. Ibeleivc that I could get a certificate to this effect from any competent physi¬ cian. I have used no medicine with¬ in the last six months except King’s Royal Germetuer. Aly health is bet¬ ter than it has been in thirty years. I am in posession of information which warrants me in saying that the relief which I have experienced from the use of the medicine is not more certain and radical than that which it has brought to hundreds of per¬ sons in Georgia and other States. I feel it to he my duty to say, al¬ so, that the effects of this remedy upon my w r ifc have been even more signal and wonderful. She has been almost a life-long invalid from Ner¬ vous Headache, Neuralgia ami rheu¬ matism. In a period of thirty years she has scarcely had a day’s exemption from pain. She has been using Ger¬ metuer about two months. A more complete transformation I have nev¬ er witnessed. Every symptom of disease has disappeared. She ap¬ pears to be twenty years younger, and is as happy and playful as a healthy child. AA’c have persuaded many of our friends to take the med¬ icine, and the testimony of all of them is that it is a great remedy. J. B. Hawthorne, Pastor First Baptist Church. Royal Germetuer builds up from the first dose, the patient quickly feeling its invigorating and health¬ giving influence. It increases the appetite, aids digestion, clears the complexion, regulates the liver, kid¬ neys, etc., and speedily brings bloom to tho check, strength to the body and joy to the heart. For weak and debilitated females it is without a rival or peer.
