CLOTHED IN WHITE.
Clothed in white—a happy child at play,
Her face all radiant with tbc hues of
morning—
With fairy step she trod ;
A creature lovely as the flowers of May,
Who could bewitch ns with her childish
scorning.
Or rule us with a nod.
Clothed in white—with blossoms In her hair.
A maiden whom to love appeared a
duty—
A spell around her hung ;
A sense of all that Nntnre makes most fair,
That filled with awe all who watched her
beauty,
Or heard her silver tongue.
Clothed in white—she heard the wedding
chime,
Blushing beneath her crown of orange
flowers.
As her soft answer flows,
Like music, with no prescience of the time
When o’er her li.'e, which love so fondly
dowers,
The shadowy grove will close.
Clothed in white—her form we seem to see
Shine in the glory of a new existence,
Defying time and night,
And from all earth-born memories set free ;
While we, like travelers toiling in the dis
tance,
Yearn for the comine light.
—Joseph Verey.
Food for SSie Bears.
The other day a lady, accompanied hy her
son, a very small boy, boarded a train at
Little Rock. The woman bad a careworn
expression banging over her face like a tat
tered veil, aDd many of the rapid questions
a-ked by the boy were answered by uncon
scious sighs.
“Ma,” Said the boy, ‘ that man’s like a
baby, ain’t he ?” pointing to a bald headed
man silting just in front of them.
“Hush.”
“Why must I hush ?”
After a few moment’s silence :
“Ms, wbat’s the matter with that man’s
head ?”
"Hash, I tell you. He's bald.”
“What’s bald ?”
“His head hasn't cot any hair on it.”
‘ Did it come off?” «^/
‘•I guess so.” Ap
“Will mine come off ?” v V V
“Some time, maybe.” f\vV
“Then I’ll be bald, won’t I ?” \\
“Yes.” T\
“Will you care?” i \
"Don’t ask so many questions.” YJ
After another silence the boy exclaimed,
“Ma, look at that fly on that man's head.”
“If yon doo’t hush I’ll whip you when wo
get home.”
“Look ! there’s another fly ; look at 'em
fight; look at em !”
“Madam,” said the man, putting aside a
newspaper and looking around. “What’s the
matter with that young hyena ?”
The woman blushed, stammered out some
thing, and attempted to smooth back the
boy's hair.
“One fly, twn flies, Miree flies,” said the
boy innocently, following with his eyes a
basket ol oranges, carried by the newsboy.
"Here, you young hedge-hog,” cried the
bald-beaded man, “If you don’t hn«h I’ll
have the conductor put you ofl the train.”
The poor woman, not knowing what else
to do, boxed the boy’s ears, and then gave
him an orange to keep him from crying.
‘‘Ma. have I got red streaks on mv head ?”
“I’ll slap yon again if y>u don’t hush.”
“Mister,” said the boy, after a short
silence, "does it hurt to be bald-headed ?’’
“Youngster,” said the man, “if you’ll keep
quiet I’ll give yon a quarter.”
The boy promised, and the money was
paid over.
The man took up his paper and resumed
bis reading.
“This is my bald headed money,” said the
boy. “When I get bald-headed I’m goin’
to give boys money. Mister, have all bald
beaded men got money ?”
The annoyed mm threw down bis paper,
arose and exclaimed : “Madam, hereaf'er
when yoj travel leave that vnung gorilla at
borne. Hitherto I always thought that the
old prophet was very cruel for calling the
sl-.e bears to kill children for making sport
of his head, but now 1 am forced to believe
that te did a Christian act. If your boy
had been in the crowd he would have died
first. If I can’t find another seat on this
train I’ll ride on the cow-catcher rather than
remain here.”
“The bald-headed man is gone,” said the
boy, and the woman leaned back and blew a
tired sigh from her lips.— Litlle Ruck Ga

HAMPTON, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1880.
An East Tennessee Rmnnncu.
In Overton county, Tennessee, during the
war, there lived a pretty, petite, slender,
grey-eyed young lady named Mary. She
was betrothed to a young and popular phy
sician of her neighborhood, Dr Saddler.
Althongh that section of country nt the
time was within the Federal lines, quite a
number of Confederate soldiers had left their
commands, and lurking in the recesses of the
Cumberland Mountains, carried on on irreg
ular warfare, decidedly more injurious to
unoffending citizens than to the Federal
otmy. Among the number was aa.individ
ual who had ooce belonged to the command
known as the “Louisiana Tigers.” His law
less conduct made him a terror to the
country where he operated. Dr. Saddler by
Feme means became an object of the Tiger’s
hatred, and one day meeting the Doctor,
without any known provocation, he shot and
killed him. Mary’s only brother was away
in the Confederate army, her father was an
aged and feeble man, and could not avenge
the wrong that had been done in the death
of her devoted lover. She resolved that, the'
murderer of Dr. Saddler should die.
Not many months elapsed when one day
she was informed that the desperate Tiger
was then at a neighbor’s house Putting on
her sun-bonnet and taking a nnvv pistol,
with the n«e of which she had b come famil
iar, preparatory to the hostile meeting, sh*.
repaired to the place. When she arrived
the Tiger had left the honse and was in the
yard with his pistols buckled arouod hint.
She accosted him ; told him that he was the
murderer of Dr. Saddler and she had com
to kill him. Before the steady grey eyes,
expressing n resolution not to be mistaken,
the Tiger fl"d. She began firing Three
shots from her pistol made as many bullet
holes in his person, and he fell a corpse.
Alter walking fifty or sixty steps, the dis
tance of the last shot to the place where he
lay, and satisfying herself that he was dead,
she announced to the neighbor and family,
who had come out of ihe house on hearing
the firing, “that she was avenged for the
death of Dr. Saddler.” She recaptured
some small articles of personal property
which the T : ger had tnkon from the
of Dr. Saddler, and quietly returned to her
home.
A few months after the occurrence the
writer happened to meet with Mary; being
in good practice, and thinking myself n good
pistol shot, I bantered the young lady for a
match. The result was an inglorfbus defeat
lor your humble servant.
A few days ago at Kingston, after trans
acting ray business and bidding all good-bye,
I took my seat in the. hack with the driver
and a strange lady dress'*d in mourning, to
return to Emory Gag, for the train. John
was a new driver and not a very good one.
Thoughts of being left by the train induced
me to offer my services as a Jehu, which was
accepted. After having gone some distance,
I drove too near the brush and one of them
struck the bonnet of the strange lady. I
ventured an apologv. which was accepted
A conversation ensued, and to mv surprise I
discovered that it was the veritable belle
heroine who slew the Tiger. Many years
had passed, but from conversation I learned
she was still the victim of misfortune ; vet
she was on another errand prompted by love
and affection. She hnd loved again, married,
her husband had been drowned in the Emory
river, and she hid come from the State of
Kentucky, still wearing the weeds of mourn
ing, to place a tomb-stone over his last rest
ing place.
Time had changed Mary’s appearance in
many respects ; hut the gray eye, which
denotes as much resoln ion as N ipolebn ever
possessed, is bright and unchanged, and if
she were to tell me now that she had come
to kill me, I would have no hesitation in
believing every word she said. I inquired if
she still kept up her pistol practice? With
out giving a direct answer, she intimated
that she could still use one if necessary.—

“ Woodworker,” an Indian chief, says he
has never 9eeo a gray haired Indian in his
life, and he has s n en some over 90 years old
It is because an Indian has no trouble, no
worriment, or anything that way. His wife
chops all the wood, Halids the fire, goes to
maiket at daylight, stones tramp? out of the
front, yard, and blacks his boots. And he
is not tormented by tax collectors, gns bills
and lighting rod peddlers. Let an Indian
start a twenty four column daily piper in a
six column town, to fill a long felt want,
and his hair would tarn gray in one night.

Henry Clay’aWay of Speaking.
Re stood six feet one inch in his slippers,
but seemed taller, from his Virginian slen
derness of form. There was not a waste
ounce about him, the whole of bis long,
strong symmetrical body being good flesh,
muscle and bone. Tall men are not, usually
graceful, hot Henry Clay was one of the
m st graceful inen of bis time.
The first sight we have of him is when he
Was a small boy in Virginia, seated npon the
top of a bag of wheat slung across the back
of a i onv going to mill. He went to a log
)01-boaso a few weeks each winter, but
" ' •' p«. w,<lo s>
acjn worked out-of-doors, and was much on
horseback. When this poor and nnfrfenderl
orphan was old enough to know something
of public afftirs, the most admired and
famous men in the world were orators Pat
rick Henry, then the most honored person
in Virginia, next to Washington, owed all
his eminence to oratory. John Adams,
Vice President, and soon to be I’resideDt,
was an orator. Pitts, Fox and Sheridan,
the greatest English names of the day, were
i orators. Lord Chatham, the most eminent
• Englishman of the last generation, was an
jorator ; and Miraheau, the first leader of the
French Revolotion, was also an orator. The
, fame of these men tilled the world, and con"
sequontly the ambitious youths of tho time
supposed (hat the way to become distin
guished and powerful was to leain how to
be eloquent. It was the age of the debating
society, and of course there was one at Rich
mond when Henry Clay was a young clerk
there, first in an apothecary’s shop and next
in a lawyer’s office, lie, too, feeling the
stirrings of ambition within him, fixed ull
his hopes npon acquiring power as a public
speaker. For some years of his early life,
even before he joined the, debating society
he was in the habit of reading a portion of
history or some book upon science, and then
going out into a cornfield or into a barn,
und delivering the substance of what he had
rend as a speech. He was far more anxious
to learn how to gay things than to get some
thing wise and true to say. Many a fine
speech be delivered to an audience of oxen,
horses and pigs. “It is,’’ said he once, when
addressing a class of low students, “to this
early practice of the art of all arte, thut J
am indebted for the impulse* that moulded
mv entire destiny.”
(lifted as this yonog lawyer was, there
was no chance for him in old Y irginia. We
find him, therefore, at the of twenty
netting his luce toward Kentucky. He wan
no poor wbeQ he arrived there that he scarce
ly knew how to pay his first month’s board,
at;d he thought he should be perfectly happy,
as he once said, if he could only earn by his
profession u hundred pounds a year. Rut
he rushed almost immediately in'o a large
practice, soon married, earned a good es
tate, and was then in a condition to serve
bis country in public life. Not that he
waited lor that,however. I have seen men '.hat
remember h> airing Henry (Hay speak from
a curt in the streets of Lexington, denounc
ing the alien and sedition laws passed when
John Adams was president. But his first
fame in Kentucky was due to his success in
saving from the gallows the mu defers whom
he defended. Few men have ever had so
much success before a jury as he. II" had
a strange power of throwing himself into a
cuise with all his heart and soul, and
speaking with an impressive earnestness, as
if it were bis own life or fortune which he
was endeavoring to 9sve. He had this pow
er of entire absorption, eveu in the discus
sion of public questions. Like all the oth*
er great orators, he introduced into his
spe. dies homely, familiar illustrations,
such as all his hearers could understand and
feel. The greatest speeches of his life were
those io favor of putting a tariff upon for
eign manufactures, and of having canals and
roads made at the expense of general gov
ernment.— Youth’* Companion.
A Perplexing Problem.
“Wanted.—Three competent men to fill
vacancies on the editorial staff of the Od
City Daily Derrick.”
The sad oircumstances which called out
the above advertisement are as follows: In
yesterday’s editorial column appeared a no
tice that a man named Shores had mar
ried his step-daughter, who was also his
cousin, being an uncle’s daughter by his
(Shores') deceased wife’s former marriage.
The city editor thoughtlessly asked : “Wbat
relation would the children by this mar
riage, and their children, sustain to the pa
rents ?” The whole force attempted to
solve the problem, with terrible results.
“In the first place,” said the city editor,
‘ the children would be their father's and
mother’s second cousins; and their grand
father would be their graod-uncle by their
father’s side, while their grandmother would
be th"ir grand auot and also step-mother, as
wi'll as thrir father’s wife, hence they’d be
their own children—Gracious ! twice noth
ing is nothing and two to carry!” And
then he tried to stab hi.itself with a copy
hook.
The night editor said: “As he married
his wife's daughter, the mother is sister to
her own children, and her husband must be
their brother-in-law, and if he’s their broth
er-in-law, being also a cousin to his wife,
her children are his second cousins, and he
most be a cousin, and being hie own cousin
1 he most have been also his cousins, and hi*
uncles and his aunts—and so do his cousin*,
and bis uncles and his wonts—anil so do his
cousin* and hfo—” And right here it be
came necessary to fasten the night editor
into his chair, where he sits wildly repeat
ing, “and so do his uncles, and his cousins
and his nnnts,” a hopeless idiot.
Then the editor attacked it, and in two
mi notes he made the children their own
mothers-in la w. and one of them he declar
ed was her owo grandmother, offer which
he was delivered np to the police for safe
keeping.
The problem was taken np by the ‘comps,’
and in half an hwnr every man was sitting
with staring eyes, figuring with his finger
on the baek of his hand, and swearing Hhores
had married his great grandmother without
a license, while the "devil” jumped out the
window, under the impression he was his
own ancestor.
Miss Flynn and Her Lower.
Miss Mary Flynn was studying medicine
and being courted nt the same time. Mr.
William Bndd was attending to the latter
part of the business. One evening while
they were sitting together, in the front par
lor, Mr. Bndd was thinking how he Bhould
manage to propose. Miss Flynn was ex
plaining certain physiological facts to him.
“Do yon know,” she said, "that thous
ands of persons are actually ignorant that
they smell with their olfactory peduncle T"
“Millions of ’em,” replied Mr Budd.
“And Aunt Mary wouldn’t believe mo
when I told her she couldn’t wink without a
sphincter muscle!”
“How unreasonable.”
“Why a person cannot kiss without a
sphincter
“Indeed 1”
“I know it is so !”
“May I try if I can I”
“Oh, Mr. Budd, it is too bad for you to
make light of such n subject.”
Mr. Budd seized her hand and kissed
it. Bhe permitted it to remain in his
grasp.
“I didn’t notice,” he said, “whether a—a
—what do you cull it ?—a sphincter helped
roe then or not. Let me try again."
Then he tried again, anil while ho held
her hand she explained to him about the
mnscles of that portion of the human body.
“It is remarkable how much you know
abont sneli things,” said Mr. Bo ld —“really
wonderful. Now, for example, what ih the
at the back of the head called ?”
“ Why, the occipital bone, of course.”
“And what are the names of the muscles
of 'he arm ?”
“The spiralis and the infra-spiralls, among
others ”
“Well, now let me show you what I mean.
When I pot my infra-spiralis around your
waist, so, is it yonr occipital hone that rests
upon mv shoulder-blade, in this way 7”
“My back hair primarily, but the occipi
tal bone of cornse, afterward. Bat oh, Mr
Dadd, suppose pa should come in und see
us?”
“Let him come! Who cares?” said Mr.
Budd, boldly. ‘T think I’ll cxcrcwe a sphinc
ter again and take a kiss.”
“Mr. Budd, how can yon?” said Miss
Flynn, after he had performed the feat.
“Don’t call me Mr. Budd ; call me Wil
lie,” he raid, drawing her closor. “You ac
cept me, don’t you ? I know you do, darl
ing.”
‘‘Willie,” whispered Miss Flynn, fuintly.
“What, darling !”
“I can hear your heart beat.”
“It beats only for you, r..y angel ”
“Audit sonnds to me sut Ot order.
The ventricnlar contraction is not uni
form ”
“Small wonder lor that when it’s bursting
for joy.”
‘You must put yourself ander treatment
for it. I will give you some medicine.”
“It’s your own property, darling ; do what
vou please with it. But somehow the sphinc
ter operation is the one that strikes me
most favorably. Let us see how it works
again 1”
But why proceed ? The old, old story
was told again, and th" old, old peitormance
of the muscles ot Mr. Bodd'H mouth enacted
again. And, about eight years later, Mr.
Build was wishing that Mary would catch

Eating PishtoMake Brains.
‘•A little more fish, if yew please," said a
red whiskered jmtcnt medicine peddler to
the waiter,end then turning to an honest
old farmer he said : ‘ That’s a mighty prime
article o’ diet, and they know how to cook
it here to suit my taste a little better than
they do anywhere else in towa and then
he drammed chi the table with the handle of
his knile, and picked his teeth with a fork,
waiting impatiently for the waiter to return
with bis plate.
• I see yon seem to kind o’ like it," said
the honest'old farmer, shoveling his mouth
full of mushed potatoes, and washing them
down with the contents of his saucer.
*‘Te», lum very fond of fish, ’specially
fried,” continued the patent medicine man,
with a nervous eye on the kitchen door, as
he bolted half of a cold biscuit. "Did yon
ever know.” he resnmed, “that fish was good
for the brain?”
•‘Lor’ no!’’ replied the countryman ;
“yon don’t tell toe! How’d you find that
out ?”
“Oh, I’ve known it a long while. I read
it in the ulmanac.”
“Did yon though? Well, now, tell me,
have yon ever tried it ?" asked the farmer,
sending down an enormous chunk of roast
beef to see if the potatoes were comfortable.
“Did I ever try it? Great (’ffisar, man!
why, I should say I had! Why, do you
know, sir, l’vo bad fish bones arouod ray
plate at least two m 'ale out of three for the
Inst five years 1” he replied, ao he seized with
avidity the beupiog plate ju9t returned to
him.
The old farmer laid down his knife and
fork and at once stopped his jaws. Then he
leisurely polled from his coat tail pocket a
German silver spectacle case, Which be
opened, and took out a pair of iron-bowed
glasses, reached around and hauled a red
silk handkerchief oot of his hat under the
chair, deliberately wiped the spectacles,
placed them on his nose and proceeded to
eye the medicine m in closely and "attentively
for ahont two minutes; when he removed the
glasses and returned them to tlmir case be
asked, with mneh interest:
“Did yon say yon Imd been catin’ fish
purly considerable for about five years!”
“Yes, sir "
‘‘And did I underhand you to say you
li'lieved it was good lor brains f
“Yes, sir; that’s exactly what l think.”
*• Well—wbat mak?s"you think ho ?” askcJ
the farmer, as he shoveled in more potatoes
and squash, then threw on the belt uud set
the mill to grinding nguin.
The confident fish consumer gave such an
injured look us one in in seldom bestows on
another, dropped his knife and fork an
though they had saddeiily become rad hot,
and bolted from the room.
The larrner watched him disappear, and
then turning to a drover said :
“Thai feller might keep on eatio’ fish
till the bones came out through his skin
as his hoard, an’ have all his chawin’ lor
nothin’. I never waste manure ou yaller
cluy Mile tbut won’t raise blue beans.”
Chakity —Night kissed the young rote
and it bent softly to sleep Stars Rhone,
and pure dewdrops bung upon it* boiotn
and watched its sweet slumbers. Morning
Came with its dancing breezes, and they
whispered to the young rose and awoke joy
ous and smiling. Lightly it swung to and
fro in all thu loveliness of health and youth
fol innocence. Then came the ardent sangod,
sweeping from the east, und smote tl* young
rose with its scorching rays 1 and it tainted ;
deserted ami almost heart-broken, it dropped
to the dust in its lovclutes* and despair.
Now the gentle breeze, which has been gam
boling over the sea, pusbiog oo the home

by rho neat cottage and still brook—turning
the old mill, fanning the brow of disease and
(risking with the curls o( innocent childhood
—came tiipping along on an errand of
and when she loudly bathed its head in coot,
refreshing sowers, tbe young rose revived,
and looked and smiled in gratitude to the
kind breeze, but she hurried quickly away,
singing through the trees. Thus charity,
like tlie breeze, gathers fragrance from tbe
drooping flowers it refreshes, and uncon
sciously reaps a reward iu the performance
of its office of kind new.
