You’ve all bin tliar, time an again; I liev
bin thar several times, twice in pertikler:
I’ll lull yu all about it. The fust nttukt 1

“Daisy,” sweet little blue eyed Daisy.
Wo bed at that time both arriv at that
moat delishus state ov yuthful an insane
unthusyassum, which focliu and refined
poet expresses as “yung lnv’s fust dream”
an which an unfeekn an vulgar one calls
“puppy luv.” I mind tho happy hours
when I klimed aiming the wild flowers an
gathered the woodbine* au yaller jessa
mins an wound them in wreaths aiming
her lirito kurls, au felt like 1 was crowniu
lui little queen.
An when we wont tn kaiuly pnllius, she
held the yaller kaiidy ropes between hor
r'arly teeth uu let me bite em off, an how
“fudged" on tiie kandy an sucked the
sweetness from her koral lips that was
sweeter far than eloventoen feet of lasses
kandy 1
Dir them was happy times! But a
charge cum over the spirit ov our dreams
hi tiie ole folkos a pokiu in ther noses as
they most alius do, an dumiu up the limi

therselves. Ov course that fetch on an
attak ov despair, an sighs, an poetsy, an
wul ovasitußs tn tho moon an so on. But
I will drop tho kurtuiu ov tho past over
that, an pass on tho sekond affair.
I hud now arriv at that very intersetiu
stage ov life, peknlinr tu that very yung

Swpa'inn ov her, but she had liar, an eyes,

shuns as is kustomury iu sicli cases, uu I
was mad with lav ail jellusy in a minute I
fur she lied udmirm ers all aroun. Thar
didn’t aeem to me tu lie a sensible one in
the krowd, they wos all spoony look in
doodles, as green eyetljollusys ot peaiched
upon the ridgepole ov mi allbkshuus fur
tn balance ov that day. 1 thot Berafoeuy

she didu t, she jist smiled an talked an
lafed tu em all at onet,. She had one be
hind an one before an one tin each elbo,
ua the sekond relief a staudin oil' a
takin attitoods, or a totin water to her.
They turned that poor yung gal into a
complete evaporashuu mashecu that day,
fur thev wos alius on the trot water, an
evry feller would hev her tu drink sum ov i
the water he fotched, and it beiu a hot!
day, it started the pewpirin pcotew tube i
a swiggiu ov so much cold water, an then j
the fust relief had evry feller a fau an i
they kep her in a perfak whirlwind, an
the res dt ov so much swca.’in an suddin
kooliu off as them blamed fuel,, put her
thru wa-i a week’s conflnment to bed with
the nnr.dgy.
Well 1 sot tlmr an gazed at her spell
bound, an the more 1 gazed the more 1
lnved her an the move jellus I got, until
at last I determined that I wouldn’t stand
it enny longer, an so in a fit ov desper
shun I started tu hunt fur ole Missis
Frendly, who 1 had seen shake hands with
Serafeeny that day an as her how mother
wos. At last I spied the old lady a aettin
umler a big oak tree with sum more ole
lady an mrried ladys, an big children ho
little children an aduzzen or big babys an
little baby a, with big mouths an longs to
match. She had a big turky gobblers tail
fan in one hand an foot an a hail' ov gin
ger bread in tother. Bhe was a ivorkin ot
her elbo an her jaws an looked as kaltn a
kwiet as a ole kmv a starchu in a pond
full ov bull frogs a ebawin ov her quid.
Well 1 made up tu her an sez. Missis
Frendly sez 1, wont yu please ma’am tu
knok me down to Miss Serafeeny yonder,

see the objekshun, but what makes yn in

“Bekuse ma’am” sez I, “that is to say"
—l'‘well 1 don’t kno’’-lmt yu see—“ Oho!

ye an wish ye good luck too mi yutig fren, j
fur ye Intv anils treeted me with respek,
an other ole fokes sea the same ov ye, an
thats more'n can be sed fur most yung

As we went along Missis Frendly tuk
okashun to tell me she didn’t know much
about what sort of a gal Serafeeny wos,
that she luul got akwaiuted with her moth
er while the yang un was off ai skool, an
the old lady was a clever industrona ooman
an that the wurld and all of her darter.
Well hi this time we had got to Vlmr mi

The memory ov thut hour is witli me
still, an tho its briteness has gone into the
shadows ov the past, yet the height ov
happiness tu whish mi soul then Hoard, an
the emoshnns ov joy that thrilled me then,
has never ©eased tu vibrate to the present
j hour.
I don't remember anything about those
blissful moments distinctly ov w hat I sed
or what she sed, lint I hud aknushnspride
; in feelin that T had rut tother fellers out
and that when we parted I had her pet
j mission tu call on her nt home. I remcm
i her too that when I went home at nite
j that I was'nt mlzukly miself, an that, mi
I mother was konsarned about me ta knse
i she thot 1 was sick, au she wanted me tu
i take a dose of Inudainy tu relieve the pain
i lint I told her "it was'nt that lew down.”
But i was more komposed next moriiiti
an at. oiien entered into a season ov her

that wos warranted tu eoax the tardy
whisker ov youth intu a prekoslius exis

boys, fur yu all kno how it, is.
Everything was rose culler when I would
make Hcryfiny a call f would find miself a
knlkulatin ho* soon the rules ov ettyket
would allow me tu go agin. Hum times I
would meet iHiuther tlmr an then f would
be Hnvigrons, an snnitiiues 1 would hev it
u)l tu miself an then I would be screen.
lint yu kant play aiming the roses without
fntdin ov the thorns, the sharpest, one 1
ever felt was thusly: A nil preacher cum
along an every bodily went tu hear him
I got cut out that time as bad hick would
have it hi one ov mi detested rivals, who
oorried Scraflny tu church, I was a feeliu
kinder onrestlsss like but I got a seat as
nigh behind them as I could see her an
praps git a glance an a smile now an then.
Arter a while 1 iieerd her giggle an whis
per tu tother feller, sez she—“law 11 wan
der who that funny lookin ole ereetur is n
cumin in ?” I looked the way she pointed
an the “funny lookin ole ereetur” wos mi
mother ! 1 luv uii mother
AH that there was about her that whm
flippy watt n 010 foslupiejl sensible bo wilt
; that she didn’t see prop]lor to lay aside
| fur one ov the toys ov fashion. Well it
; hurt me.
When I Went to bed that nite I lay
awake an thot it over au over. I tried tu
excuse Seratliny all I could, I tried tu
bring up youth an t holler, snoss in her de
fense, uu that she didn’t mean enny harm
hi it, an that when she cum to luio mi
mother that, sit* would find more in her tu
luv, than tu bo amused at. No I oouldu’t
give her up vet ! I must go and see lier
again, but, when l went tu t all on her ncx
luomin thar was siimthin a tuggin at mi
heart all the time.
When 1 got tu the house the front door
stood open nil sweet Rounds ov niusik
were issnin forth. I walked in without
knoekin I stood in the passage an the
parlor door wos at mi right. 1 stood tliar
lookin in uu admirin her bitty au grace, j
she wos singing a song an playin a kiiiu
panyuient on the pinny. I didn’t think ;
about the song then, 1 was spellbound. I
only saw an angel, au hoerd heavenly mel
ody.
Siimthin ftftritltted mi aftenaliun thru
the back door. 1 could look thru the
passage into the back yard, an there I saw
Scrutiny’h mother at the wash tub with Iter
bead tied up with the toothake 1 She
had on old fadid clothes, an was w hat her
daughter would hev called “a funny look
ing old ereetur.” A heap funnier than mi
mother was.
1 saw her raise a garment fom the tub,
it Was tlfci dress Scrutiny wore at the pik
nick.
1 looked from the mother to the daugh
ter and from the daughter to mother, I
remarked the lorn trust, I tqiiejt. the sweet
perfume frbfu'tlio daughter's lmnkereher,
and saw the muslin kloud that floated
around her form.
I minded tho song nqw ! The words
she was singing Were those:
What in home without a mother,
What uru h 1! its joys to mo.”
Tho spoil was broken now !
She tprnoil itmnml ami saw mo. She
Spiling up ail onino towarda me saying,
“why Ike yu naughty boy to cum up so

is the matter sez she, “yu look as if
yu had seen a ghost!” “The matter is"
sez 1 (recoverin iniself an stundin with uii

lui by l<ovcr,
('anuelton has a notoriety for runaway
nmtelics not poaMessed by any other town
iu the Htate. Ho eoinmou is it to see a
runaway couple on our streets, that new
arrivals are only noticed when their love
affairs present some peculiar, startling, or
novel feature not possessed by an ordinary
elopement. Kentucky damsels have learn
ed thut when an obstinate papa says “no I”
a trip to Cumielton will set all things right.
East week a young Indy of Hancock coun
ty was the happy possessor of two ardent
and demonstrative lovers. Being uu ex
ceedingly sweet looking girl, there was
nothing so singular iu her having two lov
ers, except that they were brothels. Knell
claimed that tire little angel loved only
himself, and that the other was regarded
with only a sisterly affection. On last
Hu inlay morning tho rivals met on Uie
roail, each being bound for the admired
one’s huuc to team liis fate. A dispute
arose, and they repaired to tho shades of
an aged ouk to settle which was to be the
possessor of this sweet little four foot
i specimen of blushing loveliness.
While these brothers weitc settling their
little difficulty in this true Kentucky style,
j a neighboring youth, who had also fallen a
j victim to tiie lady’s charms, was proposing
!an elopement to Cuunelton, the tire tun
j (been for Kentucky lovers. This modest
! request was granted, and the couple
started, and, as they passed tho resilience
of a favorite minister near Hawesvilie, lie
was requested to come over in a short time
|und perform the ceremony, while tiie
lovers continued their way to onr town to
procure the necessary “arms and ammuni
tion” to enable the man of God to do his
ddty with no fear of hereafters. They
came over, got possession of the necessary
papers, and started up Front street. When
they arrived at Castleberry bridge, tliey
found it undergoing repairs and a large
portion of the floor taken up. At this
san e moment they beheld a sight well cal
culated to muko their youthful hearts
cease their harmonious beatings, and for
the moment they saw their bright dreams
vanish, and their ardent hopes dashed to
the ground. They beheld a crowd of per
sons crossing over from iluwesville, com
iug with a swift and steady stroke, which
but too plainly betokened their business
and their determined purpose. The al
most bride and groom grasped for breath,
and clung to each other with a grip which
denoted that tliey never more wished to
be parted, looked around to seo which way
they could run with safety, cast a longing
yet frightened looked through the bridge
to the water, for below, stepped one step
nearer, but before taking the fatal leap
they cast one more imploring glance across
tho bridge, and suw, to their intense
delight, the smiling countenance of
’Hquire Paterson at tho other side. They
immediately hallooed ncross, and asked
him if lie could many them, quick ! at the
same time pointing to tho approaching
skiff in the rivar.
The ’,Squire took in' the situation at a
glance, and shim ted to them U> scud on
their paper*. Tito young man hastily
gathered a dornick, and tying the license
to it with his handkerchief, threw,it over
to the ’Squire talking rapidly all Hie time,
and explaining their cause for speedy ac
tion, while the young lady was urging
both on to greater speed by crying nt the
top of her voice: “Here they come ! They
are all ready to land! Do it quick, Mr.
’Squire 1” The Squire asked their names,
and, being somewhat hurried by the pe
culiar situation, yelled at the top of his
voice, and without stopping to take breath.
“John and Mary you are married 1 pro
nounce you man and wife ro help you (tod
amen so lie it run quick and tell them that
what God hath joined together let no man
put asunder tie the dollar to that brick
anil throw it over!” and then, as he wiped
the perspiration from his dripping fore
head, he Raid, in ft calmer tone, “It's all
right now." The young couple tinned,
prepared and expecting to meet au angry
father and furious brothers, but saw only
the minister and a few friends, who had
Come over as requested, and who were
much chagrined to find that they were u
little too lute.
WANTED TO BE RELIGIOUS.
The clergyman at our church last Sun
day, while indulging iu some figurative ex
pressions in hia sermon, used the phrase,
“Like the roe w hich leaps upon the moun
tain— ’’referring, of course, to the scrip
tural animal of that. name. As 1 was coin
ing out of church a horny-handed and sun
burned fellow-pilgrim stopped up to me
and said:
"See yer, stranger ! whnt'd yon think
of that feller in the pulpit ?"
"1 think he is a pretty fair sort of a
ni.in; near-sighted, may be, and poor; but
taking him altogether, good”
“Well, see yer, stranger! I>’d yen
'bserve what ho said about the roc jumpin'
on a mountain ? It'd you hear him say
that, ?”
“Yes. YY hat about it ?”
“Well, look ayer, eap, of course lie
was a jokin’, ivu’n’t be?”
“Certainly ho was not."
“See yer, now, you don’t mean to any
he was a tryin’ to gag that down ns as fact ?
lie don’t reely believe that no roe ever
jumped on ft mountain, now does ho ?”
“He does, of coure, and so do I. I
know it.”
“Well, look ayer, mister; I’am a mere
ehild 'bout most things. I can swallcr
a’most any ordinary lie. Ton kin stuff me
full of owdacions falsehoods when I’m
sufferin’ from ignorance. Hut you must
excuse roe on this. Yes, sir, I sour on
yon when you ask me to gorge myself with
that kinder lie. I've bin ketehin’ shad
an’ herrin’most all my life, and gettin’
the roes outov’em; but I never soon no
roe that could git up an, git when you
ono’t laid it down. I wanter be religions;
I wanter do right and b -cove in preach
ers, but when you ask me to b’leeve that
ary shad roe ever bounced up a hill and
frolicked around over the grass, my stuni
niick goes again it. It's too much, stran

Then I unfolded the matter to him and
he went away comforted. —Max A deter, i
A Warning To Boys. —A certain doctor,
struck with the large number of boys un
der fifteen years of age whom he observed
smoking, was led to inquire into the effect
the habit had upon the general health,
lie took for his purpose thirty-eight, boys,
aged from nine to fifteen, and carefully
examined them. In twenty-seven of them
he discovered injurious traces of the habit.
In twenty-two there wore disorders of the
circulation and digestion, palpitation of
the heart, and a more or less marked taste
for drink. In twelve there was frequent
bleeding of the nose; they had disturbed
sleep; and twelve had slight ulceration of
the mucous membrane of the month, which
disappeared on ceasing from the esc of
tobacco for some days. The doctor treat
ed them alt for weakness, but, with little
effeot until the smoking was discontinued,
when health and strength were soon re
stored. Now. this is no “old woman’s
tale,” us these facts are given on the au

“On a hand-cart, sir,” she corrected,
showing considerable interest.
“Well there is a difference between a
hand-eart and a wheel-burrow,” be went
on; “but it doesn’t make any difference
iu this ease. Iu fact tho hand-cart was
the easiest thing, in the world to draw you

GOOD NIGHT.
How tenderly and sweetly falls the gen
tle "good night” into loving hearts, as
members of a family separate and retire
for the night. What myriads of hasty
words and thoughtless uets, engendered
in yiejuirfy and lmsipess of the day, are
forever blotted out by its benign influ
ence. Small token indeed; but it is the
little courtesies that make up the sum of a
happy home. It is only the little cour
tesies thut cun so beautifully round off tho
square corners in the homes of laboring
men and women. The simple “I thank
yon" for a favor received, will fill with
happiness the heart of tiie. giver. True
wealth is not counted by dollars and cents,
but by the gratitude and affection of the
heart. If a home be happy, it is of heaven
the truest earthly symbol, if a home be
happy, whether the owner possess a patch
of ground of one or a thousand acres, they
are iu tiie end wealthy beyond mathemati
cal calculations.
Then how much more lovingly are tho
sable folds of night gathered around the
happy homes;ii&tv much more Confidingly
do its members repose tlu ir weary bodies
l iu the care of Divine goodness, soothing
I their overtaxed minds to the realities of a
! beautiful dreamland; awakened, refreshed
and invigorated for the comiug day’s lu
j ls>r, by having bid their loved ones an
affectionate “good night." And if, dur
; ing this life we have faithfully attended to
i all these little courtesies, these little souk
needs, if we hnvo gnawled carefully all
"GwV-s hearts” placed irfotir keeping, at
the close of its brief, yet eventful day,
how much easier to bid all onr deariy be
loved ones a Huai “good night.”
