Extol th< ir completeness. And only lament they must perish so soon, j 0, sing of the roses, The Kimvy, white roses, The pink an<l the roses with hue of a star, The cb-op-hued, the tinted— Give praises unstinted— 0, sing of all roses, anear and afar! They climbon rock-ledges. They grow amid hedges. And choicely are cultured within garden wall; ; Or lofty or lowly, Or sinful or holy, Their fragrance and beauty are free to us all j O, stately the dahlia, And fair the azalea. And countless the blossoms they cheer us to view; But what, like the roses, 8uch beauty discloses, Hindi wonderful beauty ol form and of hue ? Then sing of the roses, The beautiful roses, Or scentless, or filling the air with perfume, j They lessen our satin ss. They bring to us gladness, The roses that gem the fond bosom of June. A Sad Prairie Dog Story. Chicago’ Mail. “Did you ever see a prairie dog?’’ asked a countryman of the Mail. “Only those in the park. Why?” “Well, I was just thinking of a boy hood scene in which the cunning lit tle prairie dog was a very prominent figure. “When I was a little boy my father moved from Iloosierdom over upon a broad and blooming prairie in Illinois. That prairie, stretching as far as the eye could see to the north and west, was one vast garden of flowers from April to November. There must have been a hundred variet ies of wild bloom ing plants, ranging from the lowly strawberry, with its white blossoms, to the gaudy, flamboyant wild marigold, whoso oriental splendors gave vivid color to miles and miles of undulating plain. “But this by the way. 1 started to speak of the prairie dogs. The flowers were scarcely more numerous than they. You might ride for miles along a path flanked on either side by their villages, which were seldom more than a few rods apart. These villages, al ways on some knoll, were populous. The horseman who approached one of t hem would see a sentinel sitting grave ly motionless at the door of every bur row. One could scarcely tell these sentries from bits of wood, so still and straight were they, so much a part in seeming of the great, silent landscape. “Hut, even if there was a case of ‘now you See it and now you don’t,’ those little sentinel prairie dogs offer the traveler a striking example, lie sees them there, as silent and impres sive as the sentries of Pompeii, and wonders what they will do when lie gets closer. lie keeps hP eye fixed on two or three of them and unconscious ly checks his horse, so that the clatter of hoofs may not startle them. He is within fifty, thirty, twenty paces, when—lo ! the sentries are gone! He has not seen them. He rubs Ins eyes and rides on, wondering if it were all an illusion. He looks back to assure himself, when—lo! the sentries are there 1—as still and statuesque as be fore. “One time my father trapped four or live of them. 1 don't know how he managed it; I’ve forgotten that. I think they must have been young and foolish, like baby rats, which ven ture where their pa and ma would nev er go. My father brought them home, and we children hugged ourselves in delight as we fancied them as pretty pets like squirrels or white rabbits. A cage was quickly fitted up; the captives Were placed in it ami surrounded by all the dainties which we fancy could : tempt them to forget their captivity. Our parents kept us away from the [cage, as the little strangers regarded us with a terror which they did not at tempt to conceal. But we went to place more food before them the next morning. The food previously provid ed had not been touched. The little prisoners sat wearily on their haunches in the dark extremity of their cell. Childish curiosity was repressed till t he [second morning, when the cage was again visited. The captives sat in the -same position, and no morsel of the va ried bill of fare with which we had de signed to tempt them had been touch ed.' The water was uudimiuished in the bowl. Another day passed, the third morning came, and we ran out to see our pets. The sight that met our eyes 1 shall never forget. In their hunger and despair the poor capti\es had eaten their own feet. The bloody stumps were a sail and sickening re proof of our cruelty in depriving the children of the prairie of their wild, sweet.liberty. We felt it, children a> we were, and silently, almost in tears, we opened the prison doors and slipped away to give the captives opportunity to escape. But it was too late. With their feet gnawed off up almost to their little bodies, they could scarcely more hun drag themselves out and creep twav into the grass, where they >oon Eter died. Some Ideas of Dignity. kisio•, Li. va'.ii. Ilu a country town not far i'r. .n !’• - Bn there is a man who has been. u. ing long and hard to get into some political office. A good many things seemed to get pretty nearly within his grasp, when, with a sort of fatal mock ery, they would be sure to elude him. His neighbors knew that what chiefly- stood in his way was liis opinionized and overbearing ignorance, but of course this point never dawned upon himself. He only realized that he was waxing better off, and longed for some sort of public power. At last, and chiefly through the inter vention of a popular neighbor, he was made a justice of the peace. This was better than nothing, and it set him up accordingly. Still, the days went on. and nothing came in his way to afford him an opportunity to exercise his newly found power. At last a rough-and-ready neighbor came m one day to testify in regard to something to which he had been a wit ness. He stalked in in his usual sullen manner, his hat on his head, and stood before the new justice. “I)o you know you’re going to be sworn, sir?” thundered the new offi cial. 'blie sullen visitor nodded. “Then off with your hat, sir!” roared Hie justice. “Don’t you know any bet ter than to come into the presence of me and Hod with your baton?” Can’t Get Too Much. Del roil Tree Trees. There was a bridal couple coming in on the Bay City train the other day, and the passengers in that particular car were on the grin most of the time over their antics. The bride had got the man she loved, and she didn’t care a copper who saw her pillow her head on his shoulder. The bridegroom hail got a farm with his wife and if he want ed to feed her on gum drops or squeeze her hand whose business was it? A little old man, dried up and barehead ed, sat directly in front of the couple, and he looked around so often that the young husband finally explained: “We’re just married.” “I knoweil it all the time,” chuckled baldhead. “And we can’t help it, you know.” “No you can’t—I’ll be darned if you kin!” “I presume it all seems very silly to an old man like you,” continued the husband. “Does it! Does it!” cackled the old fellow as lie bobbed around. “Wall, you bet your life she doesn’t. I’ve been right thar three times over, and I’m <3ii my way to Canada to marry a fourth! You orter see me a week hence. I’ll hug and squeeze and fon dle at the rate of forty miles an hour, and darn the skunk that laffs at me! Silly! Why, children, it’s parrydise biled right down!” fused,” and then stick it hack in the pest office, is entitled to the first pre mium.

Even the Twelve Apostles are being bet upon in these degenerate days. Thursday a well-known young “blood” of Athens, while in company with some friends, started a diccussion on scriptural matters and wound up by offering to bet his hearers thar none of them coukl name the Twelve Apostles. When tin- offer was reduced to So it was eagerly accepted, but after repeated trials it was found that nor j one of the numerous guessers could get j beyond ten, and only one succeed d in reaching that number. When asked at Macon Friday night j what appointment he had made for tin Secretaryship of the State Agricultu- j ral Society. President Northen said he ' had no authority to make any appoint ment, nor was there any provision for i filling the office other than by annual i election by the Executive Committee, i Each member of the committee has j been written to, and their replies will | settle the appointment temporarily. If j is understood that there are now seven j applicants for the position. At an agricultural meeting the other j day “tin* best way to keep the girls on j the farm” was discussed. No conclu sion was reached, but we think a barb-! ed wire fence six feet high, minus gates, surrounding the farm would j solve the problem. A boy takes his j life in his hands when he attempts to | crawl over or under or through a barb ed wire fence, and he doesn’t wear a bustle, either. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MANUFACTURE COTTON SEED OIL MILLS, GO cc r T 1 CO w 00 hj Lu y cc Cl V, t—4 w “The trouble with women,” said Smitherimykins, “is that they want us to have fun their own way. They want us to sit in the house and talk about the weather, sir; to discuss the eternal mysteries of dress-making and cooking, sir; anil to read novels, -sir, and wor ship babies. They can’t see why a man should want to go to a club or a public dinner, sir, or take in a base ball game or a horse race. They want us to do as they do and enjoy ourselves their way, sir. But did you ever hear of a man wanting a woman to have fun in his way? No, sir; not much, >1r. You never heard of any man’s trying to persuade his wife to go around the corner, sir, to a nice quiet place, sir, where some very elegant gentlemen were engaged in a rubber of cards, sir, and to smoke cigars and drink beer with the party, sir, and sit up till the cock had made himself hoarse with crowing, sir, and then meander home singing. Did you ever hear of any man’s trying to persuade s. woman to have fun that way—his way? No, sir; not by a jug-ful, sir.” The average weight of a man’s heart, says the Medical News, is eleven ounces and a woman’s only nine ounces. Thus, when they give and take or ex change hearts, man is loser, quality be ing equal. Man’s average brain is forty- nine and a half ounces and woman’s for ty-four. The average weight for botli lungs is for men forty-five ounces and for women thirty-two. “You seem to be enjoying yourself, Bobby,” remarked one of the guests at a dinner party. “Yes,” assented Bobby, with his mouth full, “I am making the most of it, ’cause after pa an’ ma gives a big i dinner like 11iis, it’s always cold pickin’ for the next thirty days.” “Did your son take the valedictory in college,” said a gentleman to a lady who was enthusiastically praising the ability of her offspring. “No, indeed, he didn’t,” she replied with pride, “he didn’t take anything. He is the healthiest boy you ever saw.” “Mister,” lie pleaded, “I have lost a leg, and ” “Yes, so I see. It’s mighty provoking to lose anything. I lost a dog once that I had often tried to give away, but I was mad about it just the same.” SAW MILLS, WIND MILLS, TANKS, “ SHAFTING, PULLEYS AND ALL KINDS OF FOUNDRY WORK. Write to us for prices.

Mr. Van Buren was the strongest candidate before the conven tion, but the forces of the opposing candidates, led by Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi, united in the demand that a two-thirds vote be required to nominate. The debate on the motion consumed the greater part of one day, Messrs. Walker, of Mississippi, Dickin son. of New' York, and Hubbard, of Connecticut, favoring the proposition, and Mr. Butler, a New York lawyer, leading the opposition forces. Mr. Van Buren’s friends lost, the two-thirds rule being adopted by a vote of 148 to 118, and James K. Polk being nominat ed for President. As a reward for his work in the convention, Mr. Walker was made Secretary of the Treasury under Polk. Of the men who were prominent in the convention, the ven erable George Bancroft is the only one who is known to survive.
