That we went out a walkin'
An’ sot down on the rive bank,
An’ kept on hours a talkin’;
lie twisted up my apron string
An’ folded it together,
An’ said he*tbought for harvest time
’Twas cur’us kind o’ weather.
The sun went down as we sot there

An’ mother sho began to call:
“Loweezy! oh, Loweezy!”
An’ then Josiar spoke right up,
As I was just a startin’,
An’ said ‘'Loweezy, what’s the use
Of us two ever partin’?”
It kind o’ took me by surprise,
An’yet I knew ’twas coming,
I’d it heard it all the summer long
tn every wild bee’s bumiuin’;
I'd studied rut the way I’d act,
Cut law! I could’t do it;
I meant to hide my love from him,
But seems as if be knew it.

Senator Boone’s Big Feet,
In the early days of Indiana, one of
the State Senators was a gooh-natared
giant uaraed Gnorgo Boone. When he
stood up bis height aitracted atten¬ ,
tion, for he measured nearly seven feet.
If he made a gesture, his hands were
noted as iha largest ever seen in that
Tffate. But it was his feet that amazed
his colleagues.
When about IS, young Boone thought
he would call on a neighbor who lived a
ft vv miles off Sally, the neighbor’s
daughter, was largo and pretty, and
the youthful giant thought sho would
make a suitable wife.
It. was late in. the fall, though too
e#rlY to put on shoes, sb that he started
life re footed His best butternut colorod
suit had been made t-ome six mouths
before, and was much too small for him.
The pantaloons reached just below his
knees, while the coat stretched as tight
over his body as an eel skin dried ou a
hoop pole.
After wading croel;3 and muddy bot¬
toms the would-be sparker arrived at
the neighbor's " log hut just as ths V farn
ll.v v.tie sitting r down to supper ot mush u
and milk. Being invited to draw up,
ho sat down aiongG ie of Sally. The
old lady (flared him a large bowl,
which ho set etched forth his hand to
take. Not making sufficient allowance
for the size of his bands, he struck the
big uiiik fable', pitcher. Out went th i milk
o\cr the and out wont Sally from
tho room roaring with laughter.
The old lady kindly remarked, “It I
will rub out when it dries;” but the 1
youth know that he was already rubbed
out, so far as Sally was concerned. lie
saw nothing more Of her. The clock
struck ten.
•‘Air, Boone,” asked the old lady,
“won’t you wash your feet and go to
bed ?''
“Yes, ma’am.”
■ “Here’s an iron pot; it is the only
thing l have that’li do.”
'a he pot proved to small for his feet
to enter, except by sliding them in Bide¬
ways. When in, they swelled so much
that be could not get them out. The
pain was intense. As the clock struck
eleven, the old lady asked:
“Mr. Boone, are you not done wash¬
ing your feet!” ;
“What did this pot cost he roared
“I must break it.”
“A dollar.”
“Bring me the ax.”
Breaking the pot in pieces, hejhanded
the old lady a dollar, opened the door
and started for homo. Several years
after, he met Sally at a busking. As
soon as she saw him she burst out laugh
lug. — Sketches of early Indiana.
A Fortier in women.
Contrary to expectation and prece¬
dent the uew census shows that in this
country the ruder sex outnumbers the
gentler to the extent of nearly a mill¬
ion. Instead of meekly submitting to
all sorts of inconvenience and privation
for the sake of being married aDd having
a home, they now can name their own
terms; they need not even endure buss
bands that drink, smoke or spend
several eveniags a week at the lodge,
for rather than go wifeless the tyrant
man will abate his pretentions and
woman will become autocrat.

said a young lady to her visitor. ‘Ah,

CLEVELAND, GA„ SATURDAY MORNING. MAY 7, 1881.
Sleep.
There is do fact more clearly estab-.
lisbed in the physiology of man than !
this, that the brain expends its enor
gie» and itself during the hours of
wakefulness, and that these are recup -
erated during sleep; If the recuperation
does not equal the expenditure, the
braiD withers; this is insanity. Thus
it is that in early English history per¬
sons who were condemned to death by i
being prevented from sleeping always
diod raving maniacs; thus it is also that
those who are starved to death become
insane; the brain is not nourished and
they cannot sleep. Tho practical in¬
ferences are throe:
Those who think most, who do most
braiu work, require most Bleep.
That time “anv ed” from necessary
sleep is infallibly destructive to mind
body and estate.
Give yourself, your children, your
servants give all who are under you the
fullest amount of sleep they will take,
by compelling them to go to bed at
some regular, early hour, and to rise in
the morning the moment they awake
of themselves, and within a fortnight
nature, with almost the regularity of
the rising sun, will uuloose the bonds
of sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants of the syt
tern. This is the only safe and Buffi
cieut rule, and as to the question how
much sleep any one requires, each
must be a rule for himself; great nature
will never fail to write it out to tho ob
server, under the regulations just
given.
Married People Would Be Uappler
It home trials were never told to
neighbors.
If thev kissed and made up after
every quarrel.
I household expenses were propor
tioued to receipts.
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship da)8.
If each would try to bs a support and
comfort to the other.
If each remembered the other was a
human being, not an angel.
If women were as kind to their hus¬
bands as they were to their lovers.
If fuel and provisions weio laid in
during the high tide of summer work.
If both A parties remembered that they
m ‘ irned = for wors ® a8 wel1 ,, 38 , for hatter better ’
If men were as thoughtful for their
wives ii3 they wore for their sweets
hearts.
If there wore fewer silks and velvet
street costumes and more plaiu, tidy
nouse-di oases.
I there were fewer “please darlings,”
in public, and more common manners
in private
If wives and husband would take
some pleasure as they go along and not
degenerate into mere toiling machines.
Recreation is necessary to keep the
heart in its placo, and to get along with¬
out it is a big mistake.
If men would remoinbor that women
can’t be always smiling who has to conk
tho dinner, auswer tho door-bell half a
dozen limes, and get rid of a neighbor
who has dropped in. tend to a sick baby,
tie up the cut finger of a two-year-old,
gather up the playthiugs of a four-year
old, tie up the head of a six year old on
skates, and get an eight-year-old ready
for school, to say nothing of sweeping,
cleaning, etc. A woman with all this
to contend with may claim it as a priv¬
ilege to look and feel a little tired seme
times, and a word of sympathy would
not not be too much to expect from the
man, who during the honeymoon
wouldn’t let her carry as much as a
sunshade,— Saturday Evening Mail.
The Ideal Boy.
Did you ever notice the little rag
muffin in the street with a supremely
dirty face? Taffy, bread and butter
and molasses from the groundwork for
tho accumulation of dust and grime,
and his cheeks look I ke twin maps of
the oceanic archipelago; his bands and
wrists look like animated tree roots,
they are so dirty, and his feet and an¬
kles partake of the mad they come in
contact with. Of course you’ve noticed
him. And he is the lightest-hearted
bunch of human nature you ever saw.
Dirt doesn’t strike any deeper than
beauty, and within his heart is as
clean a little soul, and a great deal
freer one, as ever grew inside the neat¬
est aud slickest young devotee of soap
and water that ever lived, washed and
suffered.

The Monkey at llornc.
When they are engaged npon any
very dariug raid, monkeys place sen¬
tinels upon the neighboring trees and
heights, to give them timely warning of
approaching danger; and should they be
surprised through any fault of these
sentinels, the luckless individual is
either severoly punished, or in some
cases, it is declared, is put to death for
his neglect of the public safety. Ac¬
to some accounts, these raid¬
ers will form a long time chain extend¬
ing from the field or garden they are
plundering towards tboir own placo of
abode; and toss the fruits of their rob¬
bery from one to tbo other, till collect¬
ed together and deposited n a place of
safety. By this co-operative system
they are enabled to carry off a much
larger booty than they could if each
one only *ook sullicietet lor himself.
When leaving the scene of their plun¬
der, however, each takes off with him
as much as be can carry. Fruit and
eggs are their chief food; in a state of
nature, it is believed, they will not
touch the flesh of warm-blooded ani¬
mals; nor in a state of captivity, unless
cooked.— Chambers' Journal
Things Hard to Understand.
Why an endless procession of drink¬
ers from a public dipper will, without
exception, drink close to the handle.
Why halt the human race was not
bom without bearing and the other
half without speech. Then the talkers
might talk on in unintoirnpted flow,
and the hearers exercise their especial
gift without tboir present pruriency to
speak.
Why people will ge into society to
get bored, when they can get bored just
as well at home.
Wby the youug lady who will eagerly
chew boarding house mince pie will
carefully eschew boarding house mince¬
meat. ,
Wby a man’s stomach will be so
everlastiugly squamish at home, and at
the eating house display a faith like a
grain of mustard seed.
Wby a woman will make excuses for
her bread when sho knows it is the
best she ever made, and knows her
“company knows it.
Why a “young gentleman’ swears so
much louder and more copiously when
stranger iadiea are within ear-shot; or
in othor words.
Wby the desire to make a fool of one’s
self springs eternal ia the human
breast.
Wby we are so much angrier against
him who shows us our error thaa him
who loads us therein.
Wby everybody is so prompt to an¬
swer, “How do you do?' when you ask
tuat inevitable question. And.
Wby you seem to be perfectly satis¬
fied with the information contained in
this echo.
Why one’s piety strengthens as his
hoaith weakens,
Why people will get married when
courtship is so sweet.
Why a man who claims to have found
marrying a delusion will again embrace
that delusion upou the first convenient
opportunity.
Why cold weather comes during the
season when it is least agreeable.
Why it is so much easier to be polite
to people whom we shall probably uev
er see again than to those whose good
opiuion we have reason to cultivate.

The Western Floods.
Sioux CittJ Iowa, April 21.—The
Missiouri river is still rising at this
point and is now fully oue foot higher
than at any previous time this season,
aud also higher than at any time re¬
corded in the history of the city. Diss
patches from Sully to night report the
river still rising there so there is no
immediate prospect of a lower river
nere. While the water is doing no
particular damage, though it has pen¬
etrated to the lower parts of the town
the Fioyed and other small streams are
rapidly subsiding.
It is reported to-day that the last of
the imperiled Dakota suflerers have
been rescued Irotn their watery sur¬
roundings and taken to places of safety.
Supplies for them are coming in and as
fast as they can be placed within reach
of the sufferers. The demand for food

-si PER YEAR.
The Kind of a Fellow 1L Was.
A very high-toned looking young
man in exquisite mustache, loud pixid
clothes red necktie, low crowned bat,
straw colored kids, and kuitting nee¬
dle cane walked into a tobacco shop on
Third street to-day aud throwing down
a half dollar ou the counter said;
"Well, this is the worst town 1 ever
saw-, a gentlemau can't got anything in
it satisfactory, aud I am unab.o t<> .see
how a person of fastidious tastecati live
here. I say, Mr. Shopkeeper can jou
sell a fellow a decent cigar!’'
“Yes, sir,’ said the cigar man uteek
lj
“Well, then, fly around lively and
do it. Don't you see that half dol¬
lar?”
“Yes, sir. What kind of a cigar do
you wish Bir.
“What kind?’’
“Yes. sir.’
“Why, look at mo, sir, at roe, sir, a
moment, aud see for yourself what kind
ora cigar would suit '-we,' and he drew
himself up grandly aud gazed down on
tho shop keeper.
The shop-keeper looked and then
took in tbo half dollar, got out a cigar
handed it to the man with forty-ome
cents change, and said; “l owe you
half a ceut, sir, but l can't make chaugo
unless you take another cigar.’
Tho nice young mao looked at the
shop keeper and ibeti at the cigar, aud
thou at himself, and without a single
word walked out of the shop.
Another Prayer lure.
N. Y. Sun.
It is now more than a week since Miss
Addie M. Goodrich of Narval in tho
Stato of Illinois, decided to stop tak¬
ing medicine aud trust wholly to pray¬
er. Miss Goodrich, who has been
wholly bed-riddden for years, is a do
vout Methodist, and some days ago a
frieud read to her from tho New Testa¬
ment the story of a miraculous cure,
and then prayed that sho, too, might
be healed. As the words we:e utteied
Miss Goodrich affirms that she felt a
suddeu accession of strength and a de¬
sire to rise from tho hod hut her friend
dissuaded her. Then she redoubled
her prayers for hoaith, and got all her
pious frieuds to pray for her. Finally
her doctor told her to pray for strength
to get out of bed the next morning, as
suring her of his conliideuee that the
prayer would be answered. With tills
encouragerneut she prayed continu¬
ously until the morning arrived, and
with it the doctor. Ho prayed, and
her sister prayed, aud tho Miss Good¬
rich got up, exclaiming, “Saviour, give
mo strength,’ aad walked to a chair—
lor tho first time in nearly four years.
Ever since sho has boon growing
stronger, aud tho neighbors look at her
witn awe. Her own firm belief is that
she hi.8 been supernaturally cured, and
tho singular feature of tho case is that
the attendant physician agrees with
her.
Teach Them To Be I’oliL.
Train your children to be polite at
borne, aud you will uover have cause to
blush at their rudeness abroad. The
rosy clucked boy and girl and the
strong and vigorous young mau who sit
iu their comfortable seata in crowded
cars while gray-beaded grandfathers
aud grandmothers tug at the straps,
are poor commentaries on home train¬
ing. Nothing is cheaper than polite¬
ness, aud nothing pay3 better. It
should uot be taught because it pays
but from principle. The young man
who is negligent of his mother aad sis¬
ter at home, or the sister who is selfish
and uu-thoughtful, will he no blessing
to any othor home into which they are
engrafted, unc.l “they unlearn what
they have learned amiss,” This is of
tcu difficult aud annoying, and mbs
life of us sweetest hours and its richest
gifts. Train your childrou in polite¬
ness and unselfishness in ail little things
and the greater will como without an
effort.— Inter Ocean.
