EASTER LIN, Supt. c^-W-tt Charlt«too C, HOW THE GIIILS F1SII, The following from “R. W. A." in the Sunny South, Atlanta, is truly a correct account of the wny girls net when they go fishing.’ Let the girls read it nud see if their characteristics on such occasions is not glaringly brongbt out in this pen-picture by R. W. A.: There’s generally about six cr seven in a bunch, with light dresses on, and they have three or four poles, with ns many hooks and lines among them. As soon as they got to a romantic looking spot, they gaze at the rippling waters below, and the most venture some sticks her boot heels in the bank, and makes two or three care- fnl, steps down; then she suddenly finds herself at the bottom, with both hands and feet in the water, and a feeling that everybody in this wide world is looking at her. Tbe other girls profiting by her example, turn around and go down on their bands and toes backwards. Then they scamper along the .wa ter’s edge till they find n place they can see tbe fish and then shout: "Ob, I see one!’’ “Where?" “There 1” “Ob, my, so it is!’’ “Let’s catch him.” “Who’s got them baits?’ “Somebody’s got my hook 1” ."You lazy thing, you’re sitting on my pole 1” All these exclamations are got oil in a tone that nwakens every lazy echo in a mile [around, and sends every fish within three acres square into galloping hysterics; and the girls by superhuman exertions get a worm on tbe hook nnd “throw in” with a splash like the launching of a shad boat, and await the result. When a little minnow comes and nimbles the bait, they pull np with a jerk, that bad any unforl unate fish weighing less than fifteen pounds been on the book,wonld hnve landed it tbe neighborhood of one hundred feet in tbe rear. After awhile a feeble-minded little perch contrives to get fustened on the hook of a timid fisberwoman, nnd she gives tongue. “Oh.soiuetbing’sgotmy book! “Poll np, you little goose,” shouts five excited voices, ns poles nnd hooks are dropped; aud they come to the rescue. The girl with the bite gives a spasmodic jerk which sends the un happy victim into the air the fall length of the forty feet of line. Then they hold up their skirts and skirts and gather around that fish us it flonuders over the ground aud grass, one all the time bolding the line with both hands with her foot on tbe pole, as if she had uu evil disposed ’gator at ihe other end, which et.e expected to gobble her at every mo ment. Then they talk it over. “Ugh! the nasty thing. How will we ever get it off.’’ "Ain’t it pretty,” says another.” “Look how it pants Wonder if it ain’t getting dry.” “Poor little thing, let’s put it back.” "How will we get the hook from it?” “I believe he's hooked in the 'stuinmick'” “Pick it up mid let’s nee,” said a girl bucking rapidly away. “Good gracious, it s openiug its mouth at me.” Just then it wiggled off the hook and disappeared iu the loud and water and the girls fry for an other bite; but the sun coiu.s down and fries their bucks, and they get no more bites but ujoaqiiitne bites, and they get three headucliesin tbe party, nod they ail get cross and scold at too fish and each other like so mauy jackdaws. If an unwary top raiunow does show himself on tbe surface they poke at him with their poles much to his disgust. Fimilly they get mad alt over, and throw their poles with tan gled lines away, mid hunt up tbe “grub" basket, climb lip into the woods, where they sit down on Ihe grass, spiders, lizards and caterpillars, and eat enough piekles, cold ham, green apples and bard boiled eggs to give a wooden horse the night-mare; after which they compare nates about and from their beunx until sundown, when they go borne and plnnt envy in the hearts of all the other girls by telling what “just such a splendid t ime” they had. g~ The.Iilon and riser. A Lion and Tiger met by appoint ment one day to discuss a business transaction; bat the Lion cdnld speak nothing bat tbe Bostonese Ratios, aud the Tiger conld speak nothing bnt English; so *be fox, who could speak both languages fluently was employed to act ns interpreter. ,But the Fox was a cunning rascal, and instead of acting the part of »n hon est interpreter, he truncated tbe words of the Lion as very ijsalting to the Tiger, and the wurdsof tbe Ti ger as equally insulting to the Lion. Tbe result wns that tbe Libn and tbe Tiger sprang upon each other and fought till they both were dend. Tbe Fox then invited bis friends and feasted ou the dead bodie^ Moral.—This fable teaches that na tions sbonld not declare war on tbe unsupported statesmens tpf their di plomatic agents. A country editor luy in an uncon scious condition, und for sometime it wns feared that be was dead. “Can’t yon rouse him, doctor ? wns anxiously asked, “No,” tbe pkyaiciao^iilhlied, “I -fear that life Is extlncT. Then tbe editor’s assistant bent over and whispered in his ear: “A gentleman wants to pat an ad vertisement in the paper." Immediately the unconscious man’s face showed signs of returning life, and straggling to a sitting posture be said feebly: "How many times ?” A clerk of one of Boston’s courts tells n good story of a somewhat flighty lawyer who was opce trying n case in which there wns a scarcity of witnesses, and the evidlhce was all circumstantial. ’ Finally the lawyer got excited and exclaimed: “Why, gentlemen of the jury, the angel Ga briel came to me last night nnd said this mnn was innocent.’’ The judge, who happened to be writing, did not even look np, bnwiaid in a matter-of- fact wny, ‘Tret him be subpoenaed.’’ Acted Like a Charm. My little daughter all her life has beeu in delicate health. Her blood seemed to be impoverished. She bus taken various preparations of iron, cod-liver oil, and tonics of many kinds, which were prescribed by the best physicians, and while she was bene- titted, yet it was only temporary. A member of my congregation, who had tried it, recomrueuded S. S. S. Fur about a year she hns had an indolent Imt stubborn sore behind her ear-. After slie had taken Swift’s Specific for a short time the sores grow worse, and began to discharge. This I re garded us favorable. In n very short time tier ears grew better, and to-day are perfectly well. Her appi tile is splendid and rrgnlnr, and slit* is full of life aud cl|ei r’nlhess. T>>e change is evident to the most casual observ er. I iiscrlbe it all, under the blessing of God, to Swift’s Specific. In view >>f what it lias done for nie Htnl mine, I can most confidently and siticsreiy r>commend it to all who need such a remedy. Let the suffering give it a fair trial, and it will biing hope, health amt happiness into every home. Bexj. R. Hull, Pastor M. E. Chnroh, Sooth. SI e’.by, N. C. f Feb. 2, 1885.

Chicago Herald "Train Talk." _ “Keep a sharp lookout while on tbe run ?” echoed an engineer. “Shoald- soy we did. The man that tries to ran an engine without keeping bis eyes peeled gets left sooner or later. I’ve beard about fellows ont west that would starUut on a run with a board reaching across from tbe driver's seat to the fireman’s, and a deck of cards. But I never tried that. Jast to show yon how necessary it is for a man to beep bis eye on tbe rails ahead of him, let me tell you a little story. I wns running along one night in Ohio, some years ngc. It was a blowy, rainy, nasty night, und in times like that a mnn is doubly wntchful. For honrs I never took my eyes from the wet, glistening rails abend of me, ex cept, of course, when *ve stopped lit stations. “All at once I saw in froDt of me— how far away I couldn’t tell—a glim mer of light. It wns just a spark. I barely saw it before it disappeared.— Was it u lightniug-bag? I hadn’t seen any that night. What wns it ? That I could not answer. Bnt my in stinct told me to stop the train, and stop I did! It wns mighty lncky. I looked at it that way,- for that glim mer of light was caused in tbe oddest way you ever saw. Yon couldn’t guess it in a Week. “A farmer was walking along tbe track, when be discovered a short bridge so badly washed oat by a freshet that to ran npon it with n train meant n wreck. He tried to start a fire with paper nhd bis cloth ing, bnt be couldn't do it. He bad one match left. He kept that until I got close to him, bis plan being to strike that match, bold it in bis hat, nnd wnve it across the track as he bad seen tbe brukemen do when they wanted to signal stop. It was bis hope that I wonld see tbe blaze before it was blown out. He no sooner struck tbe match than ont went the blaze. It was merely u flash, bnt I saw it, and the farmer had saved the train. Whnt if I hadn't made it a rule to keep my eyes peeled along tbe rails every minute while running ?” Slsnalllns a Street Car. New York Tribune. “It’s fnn watching the way folks signal to ns," said the driver.' “I can size ’em np every time. First, there’s the kitebeu mechanic, the real pot- wolloper. She stands in the middle of the street and says 'halloo 1' n- waviu’ both nrina, ns though she was shooin’ the cmvs nut of the garden. Then conies the up-stairs girl—tbe genteel kind. She toms coyly to one side nnd waves her hand as thongb somebody was pulling the string.* As for the missis, the stands on the curb an<t gently but impressively lifts one finger. Tbe old chap with spectacles uii.l a black suit shakes his gold- headed Cane at yon nnd roars ‘stop that car, you rascal! while ilie young •hide stops sucking tbe head of bis big stick long enough to hold it up languidly with an nir that means ‘buhl up, fellah,' though he hasn’t enough fillips or energy, to ssy if. Last of all is the business until who never opens bis bend or looks at you, Imt just stands there beside tbe tmek thinking up some some new scheme, mill when the car comes along he niakeH a grab at it and swings on. Yes, there’s plenty of fnn in this business if yon only know how to get a-liold of it.” “Hogie rnle is the best for local af fairs,” says am exchange: Tbe wri ter’s wife evidently edits bis manu script. GIVE VS SOMETHING HOKE THAN WOBDS. Wacoa. Telegraph «ndigcu«ngcr. Now while the North is rejoicing over the hnmility of tbe South, and is saying all sorts of kind things, may we not look for something more sub stantial than mere words to indicate that the strife between tbe sections is really over? All visitors to tbe National Capitol have noticed’ tbe frescoes in tbe root of the dome. Many have climbed tbe tedions stairway to take a close in spection of it, only to be shocked and angered. This fresco was done by an Italian artist named Brnmjdi. “Trea son and Discord’ are represented by five baman figures fleeing into chaos before tbe Goddess of Liberty, with upraised sword, and protected by the American Engle.- Brumidi chose in bis art,nllegory the faces of five of tbe moBt prominent figures in tbe then jnst dend Confederacy, with which to characterize the quintet in process o- being cast into onter Jarkness—Jef ferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Stone wall Jackson, Alexander Stephens and Robert Toombs. Jackson’s is tbe most prominent. He is belmeted and in black armor, with a white cloak covering bis right arm, which is raised as if be is falling to escape the uplifted sword of tbe Goddess. Part ly under bim, and to tbe left, is Da vis, with a face resembling obe of Macbeth’s witobes in a bisterical con dition of fear, and beyond him is Al exander Stephens—the best portrait of tbe lot. To tbe right, mid almost side by side with Jackson, re LBe.TVltb disheveled white bsir and King Lear beard, a tattered brick-colored gar ment scantily covering bis body, in terror-stricken flight, while Bob Toombs, who is making the best time of all, is about two laps ahead, witb hands ont-stretebed toward Georgia.” In tbe capitol building of the na tion, erected by u common treasury, this picture stauds to give out a lie for all time, and to insult the people of the South. It is intended mid cal culated to inspire and Iq perpetuate hatred between men wbo say they have forgotten their quarrels anil are now brethren again. In this matter of “shaking bauds across tbe bloody chasm,” of confess ing sins, of making apologias and kissing and weeping, the South hn» been doing the better part for these twenty years. It is abont time that some concessions were coming from tbe other kiile. Ttie South goes back into the gov ernment not us an inferior forced into an unpleasant itnd’unayuidiUrfe duty, but ua an equal in' intelligence and Courage, and jo integrity of purpose. Is she to be mot upon a<l sides by mute but stinging in-alts?. Even such a partisan Clun-i '/-‘Bumperde sired that from uie army .flags should be tsken tba inscriptions bearing the names of - tbe battles of the civil-war. Who of the North will move to have this insult, perpetuated by a hired al ien, wiped friun.lhe dome of the cap.- tot ? • The Southern Enterprise, Tliiiitias- viliesij's: We have noticed that tbe men who smv tile least of active ser vice during Hie w«r, are now fnllest d military ardor. A trill has been in troduced injo tlm L-gmlature to pro vide for the orgaoization of a body of Volunteers to be armed and equipped by the State. Tbe founders of tbe government, laid down, as one of its cardinal principles that a standing army was not necessary, and we hope our law-makers will not depart from this principle. It i* almost needless to s.:y that, tba proposed bill comes from Savannah.
