AN OLD TIMK BJMID1NC1.
Fairy, Ga., August 20 —Dear
Editor; We all like something that
is dm able Rnd last ing, font reminds
us .if e t n it\ 1 hiring a recent
visit in North Carolina I stopped at
one of the most beautiful
for a pleasant home I have ever
This noted building is located
six feet distant from a fine spring on
the east and about an equal
from a b anch on the west
grounds on which tbe mansion
are sufficiently descending for
to run from it in each direction,

thirty feet high: tbe front veranda
00x10 feet. Rooms are large and
airy and a sufficient number of them
This house was erected in l$2t>
good material and its
from both the inside and outside
shows it to be not more than forty
years old. The spring is a bold
of oold freestone water walled on
two sides for fifty-one feet.
walls are five and one-half feet high
by two and ona-half feet deep.
with a large spring-house,
probably built when the
was. Fronting this
residence are many broad acres of
as fertile lands as th> Tarheel state
affords. The landlord is a tine old
southern gentleman sixty-six years
of age and was born in this house.
One of the most attractive features
of these premises is a chicken house
in a holly tree. At a distance of
eight feet from the ground twenty
large limbs branch out from all sides
of the trunk of the tree, similar bat
shorter ones growing above to a
height of twenty-eight feet, giving
the tree almost a perfect conical
shape. The circumference of the
lower limbs is ninety feet, that of
the tree eighteen inches. This tree
iaimpposed ef$ckens, to afford shelter for 500
and, being an evergreen,
jirotecta them from cold during win
ter and exceessive heat in summer.
To protect the chickens from an en
emy, whether large or small, the
owner has built a platform around
the tree just below the first limbs
and nothing can climb the tree to
them. By means of a large plank
with one end resting on tbe ground
and the other against the platform
the fowls ascend to their roosting
plaoe. Before nightfall this plank
is removed each day till next even¬
ing. Who could not live happy
surrounded by such splendid com¬
forts? When I dined with this old
sohoolmate last J une his table was
so laden with rich viands prepared
his good wife that I did not get
the way round eating but a little
of each item of bis elaborate fare.

The mind will think, the heart will feel,
Art 1 ' man to the Supreme must knee!
When he reflect* what change* come,
And how lie hastens to hi* home.
Advancing aga prove* to him plain
Tha Earth-lif# syanossout—vain.
Hit friend* of long ago are gone;
The gay, the youthful, coming on
To find the Reaper too, someday.
Along life’* cigsag, dusty way
We maw, we ponder o’er and o’er,
Then sink to dust and muse no more.
We smile, we frown from year to year,
Some things abhor and some hold dear;
Bat age confi-ms that Right is best
And knows that Wrong is ney«r blest.
Wrong cannot conquer, nor control—
Both Judge and Jury in the aoul
Bid man obey the High behest—
The conscience living in each breast
’Tis God’* own voice, the vaica of Lava,
That calls men to hie home above.
Old friends and true, we much enjoy,
And happiness without alloy,
And memories fond and mem’rise tweet
Came when old friends each other greet.
But two or three in Spring Place If?#
That can, to me, such greeting give;
The rest are scattered, far and wide,
Or whelmed ’neath Time’s raging tide.
In April, '55, I same
An invalid, lean and lame,
But being cheered by strangers here
I smiled—I shed no briny tear;
1 listened to the joke* they told
To laughing youths and pilgrims old
Frank Vornbdrgaud good “Uncle”
McGhee—two left of “Long Ago”—
Are breathing yet old Murray’* air.
Bowed now with age and silver’d hair,
Their dimming eye* Fort Mountain view,
(It’s grandeur ever fresh and new.)
See, too, the “Iron” horse’s track
Soon to bear commerce on hi* back;
They feel new hopes, feel youthful health
New enterprises *ud great wealth,
Earth’s products, timber, minerals grand
Clasp joyful hands in this fair land.
But, best of sli, schools are nourished,
Good morals are upheld and cherished :
God’s name and laws are both revered
And, heavenward, many a barque is
steered.
Encourage these and this lair land
Will sas s gladsome, happy, baad,
And so mailing on o’er Time’s rough e«a
Tore«t in bright eternity:
There, e’en the lame, with nimble leet,
May, rapturous, walk the golden street!
There, psychic mysteries be unfolded,
’Bout which vain man his brother scolded
When neither on* facts could explain
His vision short, his kaowledge
Humility, pure faith and love
Are wtngi that bear the soui above.
Let vain debate and wrsneling cease,
And, Christlike, teach frateruil
And may no lean or puckered soul
In the twentieth century have control
’Mong the broad brotherhood of earth.
For, man is of a Godlike birth
And Christ and Right will conquer all
And Wrong’s vain kingdom yst will fall

“While picnicking last mouth tny
year-old boy was poisoned by some weed
or plant,” writes W. H. Dibble, of Sioux
City, la., “He rubbec the poison off his
hands into his eyes and for awhile we
were afraid he would losse his sight. Fi¬
nally a neighbor recommended
Witch Hazel Salve. The first application
helped him and in a few days he was as
well as ever.” For skin iliaeasss, cuts,
burns, scalds, wounds, insect bites, De
Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve is sure cure.
Relieves piles at ones. Beware of conn
