THEY WON'T DO LT.
Sir George Campbell, an En
glisbman, is opposed to people
marrying beeause they love each
other, and think they ought to be
mated like horses and eattle.
Goorge, however,would have kick
ed like a Belgian musket if any
one had interfered with him in a
matter of falling in love, but, nev
ertheless, he enters heart and soul
into the scheme of manbreeding,
as he ealls it. The reform which
be is working for will never ba re
alized if he lives a thousand years,
but on the contrary things will
continue to trot along just as they
are now going. People will fall
in love as they have slready fallen
in love, and the short wman with
the fall round stomach will marry
the loxg woman with the sharp
chin and be happy or miserable
according to the run of his luck.
And the tow headed and sparrow
legged youth will keep on adoring
the buxom fair-haired, flat footed
girls as if such a person us Sir
George Campbell had never exist
ed. The timo will never come
when the people will allow them
selves to be mated like so many
troting horses and Darham ecattle,
and if any goverment under {he
san attempts to enforce anything
of ths kind, chaos will coms again
and somebody get hart. It is evi
dent that George Campbell wants
to compel] cross-eyed people to
marry each other, balieving by
this plan that optical erookedness
will be confined to a certuin class
and thus prevent it spreading.
Ho seems to forget, however,
that i faccording to his theory
strabismas is a tiant of the blood,
that these people when married
will build up crosseyed families,
until the worid is filled with un
fortunes whose eyes are so bad
ly out of gear that one gazos
steadily towards the futare while
the other is eontinually fixed on
the past. Sir George Campbell’s
scheme will never bacome popular
in any civilized land, for the rea
son that persons who are alike
never, as ¢ general thing, almive
each other. A man who is bow
legzed and has big ears never falls
in love with a girl of thesame
model as himself and as a couple
that considers each other to be ug
lier than a mud fencs are not dis
posed to wad, an attempt to mate
them would cause much trouble
to be heaped on the head of the
person who made it.—New Ogy

When a Goorgia farmer found out
that his son John was sparking a
certain farmer’s danghter for a
year or more without settling any
gquestion, he call him out behind
the stack and said te him: “John,
do you love Sasan Tucker?” “I
guess I do, dal” “And does she
love you?" “That’s what I dunne,
and I am afraid tec ask her.” “Well,
you'd better throw out few a hints
to-night and find out. It's no use
wearing out boot leather unless
you are going to marry her.” That
night about 10 o’clock John came
home a wreck. His faca was all
s2rathched up,liis ears weze bleed
ing, his hat was gone, and his
back was covered with mud.
“John! John! what on earth is
the matter?”’ exclaimed the old
man, lying down the paper. *“Bin
over to Tucker’s,” was the reply.
“And—and--and I threw out a
few bhints to Susan.” “What
kind o’ hints?” “Why, I told her
I'd been hoeoting it two miles four
nights of a week for the last two
years to set up with her while she
chewed gum and sung through her
nose, and now I reckoned it was
time for her to brush her teeth and
darn her stockings, cure ths bile
on herchin and tell the people
we're engaged.” Aund her father
bounced you?”’ “No dad, no;
there's where I'm consoled. It

TOUCHING STORY OF DEVOTION.
A Soldier’s Noble Loyalty to His Err
ing Wife—Healing a Broken Heixt.
New York Times.
A decrepte little old man stood
on Broadway down near Trinity
Chureh trying to sell lead peneils,
but bad luck attended his enter
prise, and finally disheartencd he
fell back from the roadway's
edge and leaned against the iron
rails that enclose the historic old
churchyard.
And the old man cried. His
antique hat was dowa over his
eyes, and hurrying passers-by did
not netice his grief, but he sob
bad loud enough at last as he
edged off of Broadway and aronnd
into the narrow lane of Reeter
street. = Rt
A stock-broker's attention was
attracted then, and the weeping
old man was accosted. He had
no story to tell, he said, and
wanted to go his way unquestion
ed, but Wall street cariosity is
not so readily waved aside, and
the broker in the end elicited the
tale that he had demanded.
It was a rather strange story,
ard it was sad enough to make
that broker open his purse.
The poor, disconsolate old fel
low was a Southerner. He was
in the prime of life a husband and
a father when the Rebellion broke
out, and in devotion to his State,
marched into- the ficld for the
Confederacy.
Before the war was sver he lay
in prison, and afterward was in a
hospital for wmonths at death's
door.
The fortunes of war had shut
off communication with Lone;
the village whera thiat home had
been was in ashes, the cite of a
battlefisld. But assoon as be was
free he hurried to Lis native State
seeking tidings of wife and chil
dren
Tha boy and the girl of his
household were dead; the wife—
their mother —a worse fate than
death had claimed her. She was
changsd Those who knew the
woman told of her coquetry with
a man of money and position--a
man who though not brave enoush
to wear the blue, had come to the
South in the Union Army’s van.
He was a New Yorker aud
finally he bad borne ths ingrate
wifo away to the North in hig
company, she avowing herself his
iwife, her first husband, she In
sisted, having fallen on the battls
field.
When the husband heard this
story he, too, started North. Four
year she searched this cily and
this State over.
In one particular he dishelieved
the tale that he had Leard South;
he cculd not accayt as trus ths
assertion that his wife had wil
lingly wronged him; he believed
that she had really thought him
dead; nor would he put his faith
in the story that aught Luta
sacred marriage ceremony had
given her to this second husband.
At the end of four yeu:s his
quest was rewarded. And he
found that the Southern gossips
had spoken truly. When be ven
tared to seek her presenco she
spurned him.
This was fifteen years and more
ago—years that brought no
brightness to the old soldier; that
haa a change of fortune for the
misled woman.
Ayear ago her rich husband
died. She was left penniless,
cast adrilt on the world. Some
how the news got to the ears of
the husband working on a Star
Southern farm, recognized by all
as a mental wreek, and he seraped
together a fsw dollars and hur
ried to the city agaiu.
He was still in love with the
erring wife, anxious to take her
back, full of faith that if he and
she could again be reunited that
all would go well, that prosperity
would attend him, and that » hap
py home life was certain. He
dido’t find her. Sho wus dead.
Ouly a dew days ago he learned
this. Then his aim was (0 add a
faw more dollars to his hoorded
pittance, and have her cotlin (aken

the Carolina neighborhood wnere

tha glitter of gold came {o tempt
her. But his pencils - wouldn't
sell, he was heart-broken, des
pondent, weary of life.
The stoek-broker who heard
this story has no wife; some men
have ealled him heartless. Bat
he acted like a mortal, all heart
‘ now. He put more money in
that poor fellow's hand than the
selling of lead pencils mouths on
months would have produced.

A good temperance joke was
gotten off on Atlanta by a witty
‘hotel man of Columbus named
Seherf. In the course of a speech
about Columbus he paralyzoed the
crowd as follows:
Last summer, when the earth-.

Chieago Herald.
Itis a.very godd story which
genial Treasurer Prior, of the
Chieago opera house,tells about a
youug man of his acquaintance
The young man, it seems, is good
looking, of nice family, and a good
deal of a favorite with the ladies.
But he is altogether too fond of at
little red liquor, neutly trimmed
with lemon and things, and served
in cut glass—so fond, indee 4, that
some of the more carveful girls
have of late fought shy-of his es
cort to places of amusement. One
day last week he invited a young
lady livicg on Indiwna avenue to
go and see “Ope of Oar Girls.”
‘She wanted to sea the play, and
the trath is, rather liked Tom—
‘we will eail the young man Tom
for short—but she hesitated about
aceapting the invitation, Her
friends advised her to decline, |
and warned her that if she accept
ed Tom would leave her alone a
few minutes after every act while
he was out interviewing the near
est barkeeper.
“Oh, no, he would not do that,”
said the young lady.
“Yes, but ha would,” the advis
ers vreplied; “he took Em
Jokuson week before last
and went oat three times and came
in chewing cloves and coffer, and
Em was so moriifiel that she
says—"’
“Buat he wouldn’t leave me alone
in the theatar, I know,” the young
lady retcrtad, confidently, and to
prove it I will accept his invita
tion.”
On the way to the theater Tom
was all gallantry, and the cartain
once up he was greatly intereste !
in Mr. Howard's great drama.
But at the end of the first act he
made a brief apology to the effect
that he wished to speak with a
friend whom he saw standing in
the foyer, and rose to go. But he
didv’t go. Something seemed to
take hold of his coat tail and pull
him back to his seat. Imagine
poor Tom’s chagrin and surprise
when a second's investigation
showed him that his fair compan
ion, who eat with such an inno
cent lcok in her brown
eyes, had pinued his coat to the
upholstery of the seat with a good
strong, safety pin. ‘Tom's [ace
felt a 3 if it were on a boiler, and a
cold wave or two ran up and dowr
his spinal column, bat he dilu’t
say a word. Nor did he leave his
soat until the cartain ferl on the
happy deuouement in the play.
Tho end of the drama in the par
quet s ats was eqally azreeable,

promised that if again given the
pleasure of e «cort'ng bis charming

him in his seat.
“I hopa hy'll maery that givel)
added the genial Mr. Prior, “be

and make a man out of him, as

The aggregate property returna
of Georgia ought to. ba at leass
six hundred million dollars. This
is true, despite the fact that the
State is probably poorer this year
than it was last. The insignifi
cant gain of shme seven million
dollars over the returns of 1883
simply indicates a re-awakened
conscienca in sundry property
holders. The poverty of the State
furnishes an additional reasom
why all progerty should be return
ed at its full value, that the bur
dens of taxation may fall equally
apon all. If the Lagislate will
do their du'y in this behalf, the
tax ean be reduced to three mills
and po sibly to two mills, for all

cnunot be any reputable excuse
for failure®in that™ particular.—
