THE AME1CUS DAILY TIMES-KECORDEK; WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1891. CARPETS! RUGS! MATTINGS! CHL'KCH DIRECTORY. Some Beautiful New Styles Jl>t Added to th . Large Stock on Hand. - You have heard a great deal about the advance on Carpets in consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been told ; but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell you Carpets AS LOW AS YOU-feVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD LESS OP THE TARIFF. . „ To enable roe to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody. J. J. GRANBERRY, AG-T. A WINDFLOWER. Bctwreu Ibe nuwlslde and the wood. Between the dawning and Uie dew A ting flower before the inn. Ephemeral In time, I grew. And there upon the trail of apring. Not death nor lore nor anp name Known among men m all their land* Coaid blur the wild dehire with shame. But down my dnyspan of the year The feet of straying wind, came by; And all my trembling eonl was thrilled To foUow one lout mountain cry. And then my heart beat oner and broke To hear the sweeping rain forbade Some ruin In the April world. Between the woodstde end the road. Tonight cun bring no healing now. The calm of yeaternight is gone; Surely the wludie bat the wind. And I n broken well thereon. -Bliss Carman In Cbrlatlan Union. His Audience. A pretty story, which I ms, moreover, the merit of being true, is told of a cer tain professional singer. He had a beau tiful tenor voice, of which he was apt to take the best of care, so that when he was crossing the Atlantic one rammer with a party of friends, they were not surprised to find that ht disappeared from view every evening at just about the tame time. “Afraid of the night air." said one. With a slight smile. “Afraid we'll ask him to sing, prob ably,'' said another, bnt no one ques tioned him. ss he was known to be qnite immovable from hie own way. Bnt when the last night on board came, a delegation descended to his stateroom to beg for a song or two, and discovered that he was not there. They looked for him in'vain, until at last the captain, who had evidently kept the secret as loug as he could, said, pointing in the direction of the engine rooms “1 think you'll find hint down there; that's where lie’s gone every evening." Sure enough, when th« delegation ar rived at the engine room, they heard the sound of u guitar and a voice, and there, lolling against the wall, was the recreant tenor, singing his best for the delight of the etokers, whom he had entertained in this way for more than an hour every evening during the voyage.—Youth’s Companion.

Throwing down ilia roll of banknotes lie said: "Invest this forme. Use your pleasure with it. I'm going to the coun try for tile remainder of the summer. I will leave my address with yon, and you can let me know what you do with The Ilian walked out and was net seel again for many months. His money wai jndiciodsly invested on his carte blanche order and began to accumulate. The honse duly informed him, according to its business methods, of his graai luck, but nothing was heard from him la-rson- ally for some time. Home months afterwards lie presented himself at the hanking house, rosy health lamming ill his face, well dressed and |sirtlya The malinger failed to recognize him at first, but when his memory was refreshed lie recalled the circumstances of the case. Now, this wrij an example of a man who more t!)nn doubled his savings by limply taking the advice of an ex- perienced and reliable mail. And this is not a solitary case. It is one of many such that Implicit every day throughout the length and breadth of our land.— Henry Clews iu Ladies’ Home Journal. A Telepathic C'ulneldenee. 1 had as a guest in my residence in Jamaica a lady of unusual intelligence, who was very intimate with and mnch attached to Mrs. Beecher Stowe. They frequently correspouted. She had a dream in which Mrs. Stowe seemed to be occupied,-singularly enongh, in dig ging the ground, and she inquired if there was any foundation for this. From the reply she learned that Mrs. Stowe had been shortly before in Scotland on a visit to the Dnke of Argyle, and had been asked to plant a tree us a memorial of her visit on leaving. Here it is proba ble that, besides the general sympathy between the pnrtles concerned, there was some special thought, on Mrs. Stowe's part, of the friend who dreamed of her act, connected in time cither with the actnai handling of the spade or with the remembrance of her strange occupa tion. Few people would suppose such a coincidence to purely accidental,unless from the nppurent impossibility for ac counting for it otherwise.—Blackwood’* Magazine. THK EMINKNT U11E8BYTK11I AN, lilt.
