The good St. Valentine lived in a warmer latitude than this—sometimes we have a breath of spring by the 11 th of February, but not often. The birds are not mating now—in fact, they have not yet come out of winter quarters in this region. The peach buds are not swelling. The willows on the branches uo signs. We have planted noth¬ ing in the garden, but we live in hope and faith that spring will come and is near at hand. The young lambs have some and are shaking tliier little tads, and some of the liens lvav« gone to set¬ ting and that is a sign. It has been a iiard, long winter, and so we will enjoy the spring all the more. We can’t plow for the ground is either frozen or it is too wet. The boys can’t hunt, for the guns freeze to their hands, but they run rabbits, and we have a rabbit stew most every day all mixed up with irish potatoes, and it is a savory dish. It is mighty hard to keep ut> an inviting bill of fare now, for we are afar off from oysters and fish and beefsteak. It is too late for backbone and suarerib and too soon for turnip greens, and so the rabits ami the birds nelp out and vary th ‘ monotony. But we have good lye hominy most all the time, and that is hard to beat ; and we have eggs—lots eggs—and cook them in lots of ways, and they are good any way you cook them. I don’t know what the country folks would do without chickens and eggs. A good fat old lien makes the best soup in the world, and will almo ;t cure the toothache at my house. T on we have good fresh buttermilk every day and coni-meallioecakes split opm and butter l*» go with it. And once or in a while I am allowed to have mess of cod fish, with eggs and cream, the dish is set close to me at one ud of the long table, an 1 Mrs. Arp its afar oIf at the other end and looks jimaze'd to see the children help me dis¬ <|fu „ Tiu . jl( „ s , iy , stlH/ . tlwt ( .„ iltlnilI e . lfc t ,,j r M „|» Alll , 8() , r t V mid say, *• The i l 1,1 ' lljr children ting tripe 1” Cow 1 "'' 111 are a good iniitry dish and lie c luiipcst thing I i I Vow of.

I have great respect and admiration for the workingmen of this land. Tuey are the backbone of the government and will lie its best protection when comas. Randall wrote well about them in the Augusta paper, when he sail tbit if these millionaries, who are making their immense fortunes out of sw at nd tod dident change their methods, “to one half of the ke.-p the other half from taking their ill gottoi gains away. Wealth is not al ways secure. There are millions of restless people who would divide out if they could.and ,hey are getting boiler every ay. But he common farmers and laborers of the „.,t or ....... cl.w s&zx.tzr.iizxjz public tiaiiquiiity. t of of voice, a • - tin-« men for employin' ^ n( , |ll|ail bet . , ter give it to them — a t(J tlwin at any sacrifice. If a man wants to work bread for bis family the work ought to be provided, even if it » working -m the road. Bread ixdue every m u. if be will work tor it. When the nulls arestopp-dand a thousand fam.Ue-. cut off from brea 1 they are a tern are There hie element to deal with. are some things that know no law, and of i3 one wealth of ti,ei the .“ • , hands 1 ‘1 TZ of the tration m tew is the great dt««« that t rmttens government eveiywhei . - l riglit l- » hufulr,‘l wtifn 1 '* a manity. It shocks judgement and rea i son and pity* The i«eople will and t lerate a fortune of a million, for that sum is surely enough to put the family above all danger of want; but for ten millions or a hundred there is I no sympathy, there is a deep seated convictions everywhere that most of it is ill gotten, and even if honestly got ten it ought to he surrendered and dis tributed. Good men feel more than they say, for they do not want to he classed with communists. Good men everywhere lament these c dossal for¬ tunes, and som° day a spark will be kindled that even good men will not try to put out. There is but one safety for such fortunes, and that is to give them away. Do like Seney, or Peabo¬ dy, or Peter Cooper. It is cold now, and the poor in our cities want fuel. Th ere are a thousand in Atlanta who have not got it. Your people called them there. You are calling all the time. “Cotne.all ye ends of the earth ; come to Atlanta.” So they came,and many of them are strug¬ gling for bread and clothing. Your rich men \oll in wealth, and if a man who is worth a hundred thousand gives ten dollars to keep your poor from starving or freezing he is published in your paper as a benefactor, a philan¬ thropist, and so ho consoles himself and receives his benedictions. If it were not for your benevolent women your poor would perish. As a general thing the rich men have no more con¬ ception of true charity than a Oomati cliee Indian. They vvouldent give a cent, but for public opinion. The pom are the charitable. They give a hun¬ dred fold more than the rich in propor¬ tion to their means. The world don’t know how much the poor do for one another ; how thev nurse their sick and bury their dead, and help in every way they can. Two beggers came to my ho-se yesterday. They were honestly poor and had been burnt out,and asked for a little help. I gave them half a dollar, and found out fterwards that a poor nahor of mine entertained them over night with food and lodging, and gave tin.in a dollar besides, and I fell ashamed of myself. L am a good deal better off. and, therefore, I am meaner. I reckon. And now comes wet shoes and wet u stockii »!««/*». gs, anil h , "7 tv fll( i»*0 * ““ dS with a i alibit, and it ba-s bust niO ooilar, I know, for tiie shoes have to be dried and will draw up and crack, and they want dry stockings, au l to mor ,0W tney Will go tg un or tuey wdl be sliding dovVii Hie hili, and tiie gills want me t" put runners on the buggy, ,-ig up a box ; for, they say.the bean tifillsiioW does not come often, and they want to enjoy it. And so 1 will have to do it, I reckon. These children order m• around and have their mother to pack the n, and 1 am kept as hum¬ ble and submissive as a pet Iamb. I have been imposed on ever since I came into the family. Tuey take mighty goo i care of me, wuen am sick, but they make me pay bac.v and Weep me busy when I am well Their school begins Monday, and then I will bi* in for another seige of geography and arithmetic, and so forth, every night, and will have to Lake them and bring them hack in rainy weather. But such is life, and the business of one generation is to raise another, and it is tdie best business and the happiest 1 know of. Blessed are theVWl.,, enjoy it. Bill A up.

Whf.iling pi h l*,.—Ok n 'koLwels a village in Hainshire couniy. is agita¬ ted over the discovery that a young lady mimed Mary Cox, who was inter re 1 in I he village graveyard last week was alive when buried. Miss Cox was the acknowledged b lie of the village and the child of a wealthy father. She was recently taken ill with acute net - ralgia of the stom icli. Morphine iti large doses, . u be given at ini ei vals of six hours, was prescribed, By mistake two doses were administered so close together t at they i rod need a stupor so like death that Miss Cox was robed tor the grave. No physician living near, none was summoned, and the body was committed to the grave- A young lady associate of Miss Cox’s said at the funeral that Mary looked so nat¬ ural she did not believe her to he dead, but no weight was attached to her words. The funeral took place Sunday Wednesday night Miss Cox’s friend dreamed the younggi' l was alive and b 1 came so hysterical that it was deter¬ mined to exhume the remains to satis¬ fy her. At the graveyard it was dis covered tha dogs had scratched the earth from the grave to the depth of o* ver a foot. The colllii was uncovered and unmistakable evidence found that Miss Cox was alive when interred and hud become conscious afterwards. The parents and friends are wild with grief. The mother has with uiiliculty been prevented from taking her own life. It is believed she will be a maniac for life.
