Half a dozen men were discussing the problem of marriage in the cafe of the Southern society one evening. “These yonng New Yorkers make me very weary," said a Kentucky colonel. “I mean these yonng fellows who, though in receipt of good incomes, spend ail their money in tomfoolery, and then say they can't afford to marry.” “I agreo with you, colonel,” said a Maryland gentleman from Princess Anne county. “If a man wants to marry he never reckons the cost. I am reminded of a story of our two old house servants. They had both been in our family for years. When the emancipation procla mation was signed we told them that they were free. We sympathized with the north during the war, yon know. “We could scarcely drive them away with a club, however. They had been born and reared on the place. Sam had loet his wife. He was eighty years of age. Old Kate was onr -matnmy.’ She was sixty or seventy. Her husband was killed dock shooting a dozen years be fore the war. It was a great blow to the old people when we told them they would have to go. They did not want to leave ns and hustle for themselves, but we could ill afford to keep them at that time. It was particularly hard for the old ‘mammy." She thought we children all belonged to her. “Finally we compromised the matter and let old Kate have the use of one of the cabins and work on the place. Sam went to live in a little shanty in the town a mile or two away. Kate did washing and - Sum did washing too, whenever he could get a job—whitewashing I mean. “We were astonished one day at bear ing that- these old creatures, each with one foot in the grave, had married. My father sent me to Sam to learn if the re- port was true. I found him whitewash ing the wooden fence aronnd his shanty, -'Sum,” I said, “what in the world have yon anil old Kate been up to, mar rying at your age? What did you do fori" “ ‘Why, Massa Will,’ be replied, ‘yo’ see it war this way. Ole Kate an’ I were n talkin' an* I say to ole Kate, “Kate, we IK)’ fool niggers. I's done live 'bout's long's I ker to.” “ ‘An Kate,’ she say, “I dnnno 'bout dat, Sam, but guess yo' is tellin’ de truff." “ So Kate, she say os how she's ole too, an' can't grow mnch ol’cr, ah' bow she po’ an' can’t be no poo’er. An’ so we 'elude to get married, kase we can' be no ol'er, no' poo’er when we's mar ried, den when Kate is jnss Kate an' Sam's jnss Sam.' “And so those two old darkies were married,” said the Princess Anno man “because they were old and could not live mnch longer, and because they were poor and could not bo any poorer, wheth er they were single or married.”—New York Herald. FOR NPOT CASH, lUonday and Tuesday next. Ton Don't Tire of Them. There are people of whom one never tires, no matter how often one sees them nor how intimate the associations may be. There is abont them that air of per- petnal' charm and variety that makes tbefn delightful companions. They are sure to be good tempered. There is never any fear of finding them in a pet, nor prey to some ill hnmor wholly unreason uble and unexplainable. They are pleased when yon are pleased and interested in what yon have to say. They are so sympathetic that yonrills and troubles become their own, and your friends become so dear to them that not for the world would they do anything to rob you of them. Sometimes with these bright, sweet natnres yon find the added charm of originality, and when you come across ancli a one treasure it and preserve it os one of the pearls of yonr life, for seldom indeed are tulent, originality and good nature found combined in one mor tal frame. A nature that is so richly endowed is threefold talented. It lias the talent of magnetism, the taleut of keeping good uutured and the priceless talent of originality, which, as Rudyard Kipling says, is not the discover}- of any thing uew, bat is rather a new way oI looking at old things. And that makes it ail the more delightful.—New York World. Th# First Woman. By the way, speaking of Eve, why is not her name, in its English and Bible form, bestowed upon wore little girls’ Eva is common enough; it is simply the Latin form of the name. No doubt parents often bestow it in this form without thinking that they are tunning a daughter for the nanglity mother of and all our woe. But this is an age of tabiUtation, and Eve ha*-h%en pretty thoroughly rehabilitated in character herself. A great many really good wo men ore net so sure but they wonld have done just the same as she did wider the same circumstances. Bnt whether or not Eve lias been vindicated or needs vindication she had a very pretty name. Bestowed upcih girl or woman, and without any final a—just plain Eve—no name could be more charming.—Boston Transcript Our celebrated cream bread is made from “King of Patents'' Hour, the liuest ever offered to the trade in Americus.
