The sun went down as we sot there Josiarseemed uneasy, 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.

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. “Do talk a little common sense,” said a young lady to her visitor. ‘Ah, but wouldut tfeat be taking an unfair advantage of yo« f OUK OWN SECTION—WE LA BOH FOE ITS ADVANCEMENT. 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. Blanks ot all kinds for sale at this office 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. E 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.

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.
