•y* CRAWFORDVILLE DEMOCRAT. Volume 8. HOW HOUGH <f AHE’S HEART WAS TOUCHED. An atmosphere ot sorrow p ervaded the Mulkittle house. The little girl that had bloomed into enduring imitation of her broiher. and who followed him, and had Just begun to ask questions, laugh and run away before they were answered, was strickened down by a blighting disease How like a witliersd flower she ssemed. lying on the lounge which had been drawn to the center of the room. The attending physician sai l that she could not recover. The minister and his almost heart-broken wife sat at the bedside,almost afraid to loofc each other. The boy, whose once rollick¬ ing footsteps had been seftened to noise¬ less tip-toe, entered the room, and, with tear-streaming eyes, stood looking at the little sufferer. Only the day before they bad raced tnrough the garden to ge th e where old Ike was repairing the;flower-Deds and she, finding apiece of yellow dish, playfully said it was money, giving It to the old man, and telling him to bay “some nice tloze an’ a hat.” The boy had heard the dootor say that there was no hope for the child, and, although he knew not the meaning of death in all of its dreadful sig¬ nificance, yet he understood it to be sepa¬ ration until that time when he should meet her with wings, and be like the pic¬ tures at which they had so often and fond¬ ly looked. In life there is no purer love than that existing between children. “Is she any better he asked. . “No,” whispered his father, “Will sha get well ?” “I don’t know.” “May I kiss her ?" Mrs. Mulkittle sobbed and took the boy Into her arms. “You must not kiss her, darling. You might be ill as she is.” “Would kissin’ her make me sick ?" “I* might.” “Let me kiss her anyway.” “No, Willie,” replied the fathor. “An’ can’t I ever kiss her again ?” “No, not in this world.” The physiciau came. The boy went out and sorrowfully s at on the front steps. Rough Jake, a boy. thatlived in the neigh¬ borhood, came along, holding in his motley band a rose he had doubtless stolen. Rough Jake is a kind of social outcast. No mother wsuld allow her children to as¬ sociate with him, and feeling this ostra¬ cism, he was constantly seeking revenge by Inflicting punishment on youngsters whom he “caught out.” “Hello, Bill.” said Jake, stopping and kicking the step.” Young Mulkittle dta not reply. V “Why don’t-you talk, bah? ;Think yourse’f above nm don’t you? I’ve been laying for you, young feller, an’ I believe I’ll give it to you right here. ” “Go away, Jake, I don't wanter fight.” “You’re a coward. Couie here,” and he seized young Mulkittle. “Don’t Jake. I wouldn’t fight ef any¬ body was’ter try and’ kill me, ” » “W.hat’s the matter with you ?” “My little sister is about to die.” “Here, Hilly," releasing his victim and handing bimtherose. “I wouldn’t hit you fer all the money in the world. Don’t cry, Billy, please don’t,” taking up the boy’s hat aud gently placing it on his head. “Good-bye, an’ don’t think that I want to hurt you.”—Arkansaw Traveler. FORTY YEARS AGO Coffins were very plain and burial cas¬ kets were unknown. Tombstones had larger epitaphs and more verbosity engraved upon them. Egg 5 were a shiiiing a dozen and butter .vas considered high at eighteen cents per pound. lips, leives, Much of the silver currency, and dollars was of Mexican and Spanish coinage. better, The county retail trade was muen as people could not so easily get to the city by rail. Business letters were more volumious and formal, and were written in a precise, round hand. There was York currency, eight shil¬ lings to the dollar, and New England cur¬ rency six shillings to the dollar. The diet was mere surcharged with grease the winter breakfast usually being made of splited ham and hot cakes. Dinner was simply a hasty lunch at noon, and little importance was attached to the necessity for good digestion or a period of rest after eating. New Orleans aud muscovado, molasses, very, black and thin, was the common sweet¬ ening sor buck wheat cakes. Refiued mo¬ lasses was almost unknown. The bank bills were of State banks, and the further West their locality the shakier they were. Illinois and Indiana bills would barely pass in New York . Bread was home made. Coffee was freshly ground every Morning, and the grinding of the family coffee mill was a familiar sound hours before the children Negro minstrelsy was j ust cropping out in the traveling circus. Th-tre were gener¬ ally but two performers, who assumed male *nd female character. The popular melo¬ dy was “Jump, Jim Crow.” People did not live as leag as they now de, nor was the average health as good as at present They ate more meat, more grease, more hot bread, and more heavy dishes, and drank more at meal*. Dr. B. It. Doyle. Wadlet, Ga. s ays : “I considered Brown’s Irou B itters superior as a tonic to any prep *ratioh now in use.” CRAWFORD VILLE, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 25th, 1884. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Keroscene will make a tin kettle or coffee pot as bright as new. Saturate a woolen rag and rub with it. If your silver forks or spoons are stained from using in eggs (as, they al ways will be,) rub them with a little dry table salt. qjj ctotha can be kept like new if lw4 once a mQatll in stlim rai [ k alul water, equal quantities of each ; rub it in well and polish with an old silk cloth and they will keep for years. To clean brass, immerse or wash it saveral times in sour milk or whey ; this will brighten it without scouring ; it may then be scoured with a woolen cloth dipped in ashes. To remove iron taste from^Tnew ket¬ tles, boil a handful of hay in them, and repeat the process if necessary. Hay water is a great sweetner of tin, wood¬ en and iron ware. In Irish dairies ev¬ erything used for milk is scalded with hay water. To remove starch or rust from flat irons, have a piece of yellow beeswax tied in a close clotb;,whea|the iron isjal mosf hot enough to use,but not quite, rub it quickly with the beeswax and.then dean with a dean doth or on sand pa der. Nothing is better to clean silver with than alcohol and ammonia ; after rub¬ bing with this take a little whitening or a soft cloth and polish in this way ; even frosted silver,which is so difficult to clean, may be easily made clean aud bright. Do not let knives be dropped into hot water. It is a good plan to have a large tin pot to wash them In, just high enough to wash the blades without wet¬ ting the handies. Keep your castors covered with blotting paper and green flannel. Keep your salt spoons out of the salt and clean them often. When ivory handled knives turn yellow, rub them with nice sand paper or emery ; it will take off all the spot3 and restore their whiteness. If brooms are wet in boiling suds once a week they will become very tough, will not cut a carpet, will last much longer and always sweep like a new broom. A good housekeeper never al !oviji fypr carpet broom to be used for sweeping the outride stairs or yard ; keeps a coarse broom for this purpose. To keep a broom from getting stiff and hard, hang it in the cellar. If raw po¬ tatoes of the peeling are cut fine and sprinkled on the carpet before sweep¬ ing. they will be found more effectual than salt or corn meal. GKXGRAL GRANT'S VIEWS. Philadelphia, April 14—Genera 1 Grant, iu an interview with a Times correspondent says: “It might be pos¬ sible that the republicans at Chicago will not make the wisest selection of a candidate It must not he lost sight of that it will take a great many democrat¬ ic votes to carry the States of New York and New Jersey. Should the nomina¬ tion at Chicago not be of a person who would have a reasonable chance of car¬ rying these votes it would then be all important to have a safe democratic canditate, for New York will be the battle ground of the campaign. “If the democrats should nominate a free trader, then I think the republi¬ cans would have a reasonable expecta¬ tion of electing anybody. I have no doubt that the democrats will be g( vern ed much by the nominees of the repub¬ licans in June, but I believe that Mr. Randall would run well in New York, New Jersey and Indiana against some persons now talked about by the repub cans.” ■—• —« The Dorcas Magazine of Knit¬ ting and Crochet is devoted principally to instructions for kuittingand ciocbet work, but these two branches will not be treated of to the exclusion of all oth¬ er womanly handicrafts.
