‘•NO ONE TO LOVE.”
From the Boston Traveler.
I heard a carious story yesterday
in regard to the well-known song—
"No on to lovel none to caress !’’
The author of this 60Dg lives
iD Washington, and he boards at a
hotel within a sqaare or so of the
White boase. He is now a man of
perhaps 40, aDd be wrote tbe song
many years ago. He was in love
Mith a beautiful girl and tbe day was
fixed for their marriage. In the in
terval between the engagent and this
day the war broke out, and the young
man enlisted. He was on tbe field
when tbe time npproached for bis
wedding. It was on the eve of
great battle, and that the first battle
in which tbo young man was to take
part. He wrote to bis sweetheart
askipg her to postpone tbe day of the
marriage until after tbe fight. This
she refused to do, and said if be did
not return and keep bis part of tbe
agreement she would consider tbe
engagement off. The young man pre
ferred to trust to luck in regard to
the engagement to being considered
a coward in running away from bis
first battle and remained on the field.
His lady love, however, was so
piqued at the refusal that she per
sisted iu her rejection of bis suit and
married another man. Inspired with
tbo feeling of the desertion the re
jected wrote the song which has had
such a wide run.
He not only wrote the song, but be
remained true to his first love, and
for sometime, the story goes, be has
been living there with bis mother.
Not long ngo, however, bis love’s hus
band died, and since that time he has
renewed the acqaaintance of tbe
widow, who, though older than when
he went to the war, is still eburming.
The old flame has, it is said, revived
in the widow’s breast, and there is a
fair prospect of a matob.

Ben |H1I1.
I visited Oakland Cemetery in At
lanta not long ago, uud with a feel
ing of re rerence sought the grave of
Mr. Ben Hill. A plain white marble
shuft mnrkes the resting place of this
illustrious son of Georgia. I copied
tbe following inscription upon tbe
monument, thinking perhaps there
might be those who rend your paper
wbo had not seen this:
,When too feeble to speak lie wrote
the following:
“If a grain of corn will die and
tnen rise ugain in so much beauty,
why mny not I die, and then rise
again in infinite beauty and life?
How is tbe last a greater mystery
than the first? And by as much as I
exceed the grain of corn iu this life
why mny I not exceed it in the new
life ? How can we limit the power of
Him who made tbe grain of corn nud
then made the same arise in such
wonderful newness of life?’’

“Somebody deud across the way ?’’
inquired a traveling man of his wifi-
just after coining in from a trip, and
noticing some crape on the door.
“Yes.’’ she replied, “it was put out
Temperance Banner.
The giving of intoxioating liquor as
a medicine has often produced life
long disaster. A gentleman called on
an influential friend of bis and said
“I wish you would go and see ray
son, Charlie, wbo is in prison.”
The friend was surprised that there
was any need for such a request, and
asked: “How is it that your son is
in prison?' 1
The father replied: “Ton had bet
ter ask yourself, for I would rather
not tell you.”
Tbe friend went to the prison and
found tbe young man to whom he
said:
“Tell me frankly wbat what brought
you here?”
“Well, he answered, “I have been
robbing my employer.”
“What made you rob him?”
“I wanted money for theutres, Ci
gars and brandy, and as my salary
was not enongh I took my employer’s
money.”
“But,” said the gentleman, "you
were a Baud of Hope boy, and wbat
did you want want with brandy ?”
Tbe reply of tbe young man was a
sad one, and showed that tbe evil
began years back. Said be: “When
I had fever in my fourteenth year,
tbe doctor ordered my mother to’givo
me brandy; sbe did so, and I never
lost my tdsto for it, and that,” said
be, crying bitterly, “has brought me
here.”
What a sad case! Tbe appetite
formed then followed him and became
bis master; made him forget the teach
ings of Band of Hope, bjs solemn
promise Jiot to drink,-atbs^bcought
sorrow, sufferring and shame to bim
and to those be loved.
And yet this case is only one of
many just as sad. Hundreds bnve
beeD ruined in body and soul by
brundy and wine taken first as medi
cines. Thousands are cared of all
manner of diseases without them, uud
some other drugs can be giveu iu
place of hurmful, poisonous ulcobol.
We have another boy in our mind
who wus likewise taken very sick.
His father, wbo was a strict total ab
stainer, whs away from borne ot the
time, and the doctor who called iu
told the boy he must take brandy.
Tee boy objeoted, and said he could
oot do it, for bis father did not be
lieve iu it, and the boy bad promised
be never would touch strong drink in
any form. The doctor urged him to
yield to liis advice, for without tbt
brandy he might not live.
To this tbo noble boy replied: “I
will die, then, for I will drink what
my father has taught me is wrong.”
We are glad to Bay that he did not
die, but recovered, uud without bran
dy, and is to-day more firm in bis be
lief that liquor-drinking is wrong
than he wus tbeu. We wuut more of
such boys.

Why are so many yoong persons
and older one, too, ont of work ?
There must be some causes. Here
are some of them: -
1. Because they are laze, and will
not work.*
2. Becanse they are too proud to
dirty tbeir fingers, and are looking for
a genteel job.
3. Because they have never learned
to.do any kind of work.
4. Becanse they are unreliable and
will qMt work to go to the circus,
aud can never be depended on in an
emergency.
5. Because they drink ardent spir
its, and are thus not desirable em
ployes, ».
G. Because they nse tobacdo, and
so defile themselves, and become a
stench and a nuisance.
7. Beoanse they are too independ
ent and sanoy to tbeir employers. .
8. Because they are fearful of get
ting more work than they get pay
for.
9. Because they are carelesss, and
waste stock, damage work, aud squan
der time belonging to tbeir employ
ers.
10. Becanse they would rather
work for higher wages half the time
than for moderate wages all tbe time.
11. Becanse they swear and talk
vilely, and corrupt tbe manners of
those around them.
12. Because they are impudent to
their superiors or tyrannical to those
whom they dare abase.
13. Bedaase they oat late at nights,
at parties and amusements, and come
late to work and are nnfit for ser
vice.
15. Because they watob the dock

A Texas paper has been inspired ns
follows: “EveryfcoJy can now go to

care of itself. Good crops will aid
the Democratic administration as well
as everything else. Industry and dil

curing good crops. Let every Dem-
oarat feel that tbe eyes of liis chief

the man entitled to office. To your
plows, then, oh ye Democratic yeo
