We have got rich folks’ ways with a poor man’s purse and so we live on a strain. It is a curious circum stance in this life that the folks who would be most liberal and charitable with their money hav en’t got any surplus to give way. There very habits of free living and generosity keep them from accu mulating. There are five hundred rich men up north to one down here. They begin early to save and economise. They take care of the littles, and before long they have the first thousand clear, and then they are safe. Our folks begin early to keep up with society and the fashions and never get the thousand that is the miul-sill, the foundation of wealth. But I don’t admire these over-grown fortunes. They are the curse of a repueli- can government. The sympathies of rich men are with rich men. The poor make no new friends. When General Grant failed the papers said he had nothing in the wide world but an annuity of fifteen thousand dollars, and so Cyrus Field and others went round to make up a purse for the poor man. There were thousands of poor fam ilies all around them who were out of employment because the mills and factories had shut down and who only asked for the poor privelege of work fnd toil and la bor wherewith to earn bread for their families, but they couldent get it and nobody thought about a purse for them. There are one hundred men in New York who are said to be worth more than one thousand million of dollars. I was thinking what a grand thing it would be for them to make one million families happy by giving thtm each a home—nothing but a home—one thousand dollars for “Who with one hand put. A penny in the urn of poverty. They are just restoring a part of Wnat they took away, and then they keep on taking away. John Branson says “a man can get used to being poor but he nev er will enjoy it. It is just like hav ing a chronic-sore on his leg. A man with a crutch and never think ) hard of It; but if he was to get well ail of a sudden he would start and mighty nigh run himself to death before he stopped.” “How are you getting along now, John,” said T. “Poorly! Poorly! Thank the Lord!” said lie. “I’m right in the middle of another panic. I’m nev er out of one it seems to me.

Health & Home, a large eight page, forty each would provide a comfortable dwelling and a few acres of land, and a cowand may be a horse and some tools'to work with. It is a pitiful thought that honest, worthy people shall live all their lives in this world and never have a home —a home of their own—was this big round world made for a few ? Is all the land to be theirs while we toiling millions pay rent and are thankful for a shelter? If it is bad management and waste on one side, it is corruption and spec ulation and tyranny on the other. There is sickness and disease and affliction among the poor that no allowance is made for by the rich. Just think of one million families, say five millions of poor people being suddenly made happy with comfortable homes. A home where the humble wife could plant her own vines and flowers and fruit trees, and cultivate her own garden and adorn her own rooms with little ornaments. How quick would it make anew woman out of the pale care-worn hopeless creat ures. "What an incentive it would be to keep the husband and the sons from the ale house . and the saloons and what a safeguard for the daughters from becoming cast aways upon the ocean of life. But this is all theory and fancy and I suppose will never be—nev ertheless it could be, and it ought be to some extent, if the laws were wise and just. Our charities began too late. The poor houses and or phan asylums and houses of refuge would not be so full if our charities began sooner. When the parents die from want and overwork and discouragement, we begin to look after the children. When they go crazy from anxiety of mind we have a lunatic asylum ready for them. When they steal for lack of the necessaries of life the gates of the penitentiary are open. We hear a great deal about the muuifi- I hate to look at myself in the glass and want to take the mirrors out of the bureaus and turn ’em baok side foremost, and I would if I were there alone, A man who is old and poor and ugly ain’t got no more use for a looking glass than a hog has for an umbrella.” But John is not so poor after all. lie has a good home and plenty of land. He is a good looking man yet, and I reckon if he was ‘ a widower would shine up mightily and use that looking glass frequent ly. But he is getting old, I know, for the other night when he got off the cars at ids crossing the little branch beside the track was up, and I saw him take a running start to jump it, and he struck it about the mid dle, and fell down besides. Wc couldn’t hear exactly what he said but it sounded like Je-ru-sa-lem with a long tail to it. As he set up in the branch, he waved his hand to the engineer and motioned him to go on.

Sometimes they give while they are living, give to colleges and li braries alid institutions already rich but they do not give much to the poor. Most of the wealthy Abner Coburn, whose body fills a new-made grave in Maine, was not a man of fine address, nor was there much'dignity in his manners. One day while he was Governor of Maine, Miss Kellogg, of fame as a singer, met him at the State College, and mistaking him as a janitor or man of work of some sort at the place, engaged him to fetch drink ing water from a distant spring for her use. Her visit at the college lasted for several days through com mencement week. Just before she took h'er leave she took out her purse and offered some coin to Mr. Coburn, who smilingly shook his head. Miss Kellogg’s chagrin was deep when, later, she learned that the man who had been serving her was none other than the good natured Governor Coburn^ the richest man in the northeastern corner of the country. canir a momentary pause. While the sinners were spitting on their hands preparatory for renewed ef forts there came a solemn voice from the midst of the congregation, which said: I’n* a Dimmicrat, I am!’ [Laughter.] I have the pleas ure of meeting yqu to-night and saying in the same strain, T’m a Dimmicrat.’ “If I were a political lexico grapher—and if that word is too big for m.v friend Tucker seated there lean change it to dictionary—I would inscribe Jaeflison’s name in It as the great shining light of Demo cracy.

He entered the service as a mere hoy, being, in deed, about 18 years of age at its close. He volunteered when about 16, was severely wounded at the age of 17, and was surrendered at Shreveport at the age of about 18. Tlie Coming Grass. If acconats be true the coming grass for the South is the so-called Texas Blue Grass, described as sue culent, tender and highly relished by cattle. The chief trouble with Orchard, now foremost as a South ern winter grass, is in getting it to grow thick enough to cover the ground. This difficulty is said to be obviated in the Texas Blue—that its habit is the opposite of the Or chard grass and, instead of a dispo sition to divide up and separate in bunches, leaving a part of the land naked, it thickens by sending out underground runners, something like the Bermuda, and soon forms a solid mass. Its growth, as repre sented by those giving it a trial in this section, is slow during the sum mer but sufficient to be in order for fine pasture at the opening of win ter, and is not affected by the eold. Unlike the Bermuda, it is easy to kill out and farmers need not dread its introduction. It can be started by plants from the division of its ^oots set out a few inches apart, but it produ<$:8 seed in the spring, Which may be sown as other grass es. Its qualifications as a hay pro ducer may be estimated from its growth of from 12 to 18 inches in height, and its habit of clothing the earth with a solid green of several tons to the acre. Every thrifty far mer should put it to the test, which can be easily done on a few square feet in the garden, and if its seeds are feared on the farm cut and pre vent its fruiting until satisfied with the experiment. ^ An Every Day Evil. Tobacco has had its hitter ene mies and its devoted advocates for centuries. The battle over this wonderful weed has been waged with such en ergy aud ability on both sides as to leave the final issue still in douht. Eminent, scientists pronounce to bacco in any form an injury to the human system. Other scientists equally eminent assert that it is comparatively innocent, and in some cases beneficial. On two points, however, scien tists and a large number of sensi ble people are in perfect accord. They agreo in opposing the use of cigarettes, and admit the tobacco is injurious to boys. The cigarette has been shown up from time to time in this country, but it is still in high favor, especially among hoy smokers. An investigation of this deadly little nuisance in France has brought fortli an over wind ming weight of testimony against it. A close examination has developed the fact that a ma jority of the boy smokers suffer from disturbed circulation, palpita tion of the heart, sluggishness of intellect, and a craving for alcohol ic stimulants. Others are troubled with intermittent pulse, sleepless ness, nose bleeding, and other ills. Sufficient testimony has been brought forward to satisfy most people that boys are decidedly bet ter off without tobacco, ar.d that both boys and men should let cig arettes alone. If the anti-tobacco nists consider this a victory let them enjoy it. They are certainly entitled to this ‘much.—Atlanta Constitution. Mr. L. n. Patillo, of the Warren- ton Clipper, was married several days ago. His first editorial after the honeymoon was the follow ing: Young man, get married.

Refinement is the union of ele gance, purity and delicacy. These shedding their combined influen ces upon the mind, the morals and the manners, produce that peculiar blending of elevation and softness which designate a refined character It comprehends a taste for whatev er is beautiful in art, touching in nature, or sublime in morality. It adds loveliness to virtue, grace to benevolence, tenderness to friend ship, and dignity to love. It excludes from its fair domain the sternness that repels, the coarse ness that disgusts, and voluptuous ness that enfeebles. Distinct as it is from luxury, it is not unfrequent- ly confounded with it; but the one diffuses heavenly fragrance, the other pestilential vapors. Refine ment, with seraph-like purity, ele vates the mind to heaven; luxury, with earth; Cameron and Butler. New York, Jan. 17.—The rc-e!ec- j tion of Don Cameron to the United States Senate from Pennsylvania, j and the effort of some of his party associates to have his friendship for Senator Butler, of South Carolina, count against him, revives the sto ry of the Bu tier-Patterson contest, in which Cameron took the side of Bulier and defeated Patterson’s ef fort to capture the seat. Many peo ple couldn’t understand Cameroii’s position but the truth is,. that old Simon, thefafherof Don, was at the bottom of the matt-er, usimr his in fluence for Butler. When the contest became promi nent old Simon hurried to Wash ington and interviewed his son in this manner: “Don, I want you to see that justice is done Senator Butter. Thirty years-ago his uncle Judge But.er, then a United States Senator from South Carolina, was! one of the most influential mou in ; h:s party and was Chairman of the j Committee on Contested Seats. My | right to a seat was contested, and, though the Senate was strongly Democratic. Judge Butler stood up against his party associates and se cured me a just decision, and I got the seat. That was 30 years ago, hut I don’t want a Cameron to per mit an injustice to be done to Sen ator Butler’s nephew, whose seat is now contested. If Butler is not fairly elected a Senator of course I ask nothing for him; but if he is en titled to the place do not let any party feeling keep you from help ing give it to him.” Don voted and worked for Butler and although the Senate was Re publican he was given the seat and the second generation of Senators are as warm friends as were the father and uncle. When Cameron’; health was very bad Butler paired wilh him and asserted his deterrai nation to do so and continue the pair as long as Cameron desired even timugh the Senate was a tie, and But'er, by taking advantage of his friend’s iilness, could have thrown the Senate into the hands of his own party. This story was told in Harrisburg, but the partisans who tried to use it to the prejudice of Don Cameron signally failed. * Hostetler's Stomach Bitters is the artic tor you.

The time for the arrival ofthe bride and groom, with their attendants, drew near, and when every one was on tiptoe with expectancy, and ail eyes were strained towards the doors to catch the first glimpse of the pro cession, the minister came forward and announced that owing to the in clemency of the weather the parties had concluded to he married at home.
