THE LENGTHENING DAYS.
Whe the days begin to lengthen
And the shadows shorter grow,
And the ruddy sun creeps higher
Where the gray clouds dully glow,
Then my heart leaps up rejoicing,
Like a starved and prisoned thing,
For I’m longing, longing, longibg,
For the coming of the spring.
O, I hate the winds that bluster
And I hate the chill that blights,
And the days of gray depression
And the drear ice-fettered nights;
When the light bagin to lengthen
Then my heart begins to sing,
For I’m longing, longing, longing,
For tire coming of the spring.

IF I HAD KNOWN.
If I had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
I said when you went away,
1 had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pafin;
But we vex “our own”
With look and tone
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kitv* of peace
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart would cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night?
And hearts have broken
And harsh words been spoken
That sorrow can ne’er set right.
We have careful thoughts for the
stranger
And smiles lor the sometimes guest;
But oft for our own
rhe bitter tone,
Though we love “our own” the best
Ah I lips with the curve impatient
Ah! brow with that look of scorn,
’Twere a cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of the morn.

LOVE.
Love is not made of kisses, or of sighs,
Os clinging hands, or of the sorceries
And subtle witchcrafts of alluring eyes.
Love is not made of broken whispers;
no,
Nor of the blushing cheek, whose an
swering glow
Tells that the ear has heard the accents
low.
Love is not made of tears, nor yet of
smiles,
Os quivering lips or of enticing wiles;
Love is not tempted; he himself be
guiles.
This is love’s language, but this is
not love.
If we know anglit of Love, how shall
we dare
To say that this is Love, when well
aware
That these are common things and
Love is rare?
As separate streams may blending,
ever roti
In course united, so of soul to soul
Love is the union into onesweet whole.
As molten metals mingle ; as a chord
Swells sweet in harmony— when Love
is Lord
Two hearts are one, as letters form a
word.
One heart, one mind, one soul, and one
desire.
A kindled fancy and a sister fire
Os thought ami passion—these can
Love inspire.
This makes a heaven of earth, lor
this is love.

Letter to Westbrook& Lynch.
Griffin. Ga.
Dear Sirs; Let’s have a little
private talk by ourselves on busi
ness : nobody else, please, read.
You’ want to know haw to do a
cheap job of painting, and have it
look good Here it is : The cheap
est thing there is in the way of a
good-looking job say nothing about
its being good—is Devoe : the reg
ular thing in Davoe.
The reason is : Davoe goes furth
er than anything else. Lead and
oil is g ood-lcoking ; don’t go so far
and cost more. The other paints
are more or less short in one way
oranother; doa’t go so far and cost
more than Devoe.
Devoe costs least of all; you don’t
mind its lasting longer, do you?
We can’t hep it; a paint that goes
further la’ts longer ; we can’t help,
it. Yours truly
F W Devoe & Co

POSTAL OFFICIALS
AS WITNESSES
The McCall Committee Continues
Its Investigation.
PROMINENT OFFICIALS TESTIFY.
First Assistant Postmaster General
and His Chief Clerks Give Interest
ing Testimony Before Congression
al Committee.
Washiugtoni, March 22.—The McCall
committee today continued Its inves
tigation of the indictment of membera
of the house by the postoffice depart
ment.
First Postmaster General Wynne, N-
S. Waters, superintendent of the sal
aries and allowance division, and
Charles P. Granfleld, assistant super
intendent of that division, were be
fore the committee. Mr. Wynne was
the first to be heard. After calling
his attention to the printed list of
names of congressmen in the special
report, Chairman McCall asked Mr.
Wynne what knowledge he had on his
report. In reply Mr. Wynne said:
“The first knowledge the committee
on postoffices and post roads had of
the existence of such a list was a
statement made by Mr. Waters before
the oomittee in explanation of appro
priations for separating service.
"When this service was reached in
the hearing, the Chairman or some
member of the committee, asked Mr.
Waters how many of these allowances
had been discontinued.
“He said there had been about 900.
My recollection Is that another ques
tion was asked if there was any list
of these discontinued allowances and
he answered that there was.”
This., Mr. Wynne said, was on Jan.
11. Mr. Wynne said that the next
time the list came to his attention was
on Jan. 25, when the postmaster gen
eral showed him a letter from Chair
man Overstreet. This lettes was al\
the information communicated by the
fourth assistant postmaster general
with reference to the allowances for
cler khire and leases which had been
made by members of congress. The
postmaster general instructed Mr.
Wynne to procure the list. Mr. Wa
ters was sent for by Mr. Wj-nne. He
produced the list, and Mr. Wynne said
he noticed it contained the names of
senators, members of congress and
others.
I called this to the attention of the
postmaster general, said Mr. Wynne,
and my statement that it would not
be right to couple the names of these
gentlemen with Beavers and Machen,
he agreed with me.
The names were eliminated and the
list sent to Mr. Overstreet without
them.
