Buried Hopes.
JiY ETT1JJ :.I. HOLTON.
It was night., with storm and sleeting,
And the hall rain idly beating
On my window pane;
And the low wind sobbing, sighing,
Seemed to whisper of the dying,
In its fitful strain.
And the world in darkness sleeping.
And the darkness wildly weeping
Out its sad refrain.
Brought but memories sad to cheer rue;
Buried hopes seemed hovering near me—
Hopes that were in vain!
Buried hopes? Ah! there we're equal;
All must know the sting—the sequel
To a bright hope slaia
As, with sore hearts we inter them,
Begging memory ne’er to stir them,
From their hopeless pain.
Out into the darkness wandering
My soul wen f, o’er memory pondering......
Memory with its pain
It paused nor, yet often queried
Of the bright hopes that were buried
Ne’er to rise again.
But I think they,heard its calling
For my soul, mid scones appalling.
Gave them back again,
One by one, into my keeping,
While the darkness kept on weeping
O’er my silent pain.
Now though dead, they’re always by me,
Like sad spirits hovering near me,
Mocking at my pain ;
Whispering words of silent meaning,
Words* which set my soul to dreaming
Of what migh t have been.
Death alone can ond the mission
Of these hopes without fruition,
With their weary pain.
But on yonder shoreless shore,
In the realms of evermore,
They shall live again.
Talcing Advantage of Leap Year.
A Detroiter who was out in the, coun¬
try the other day to look after some
poultry, got stuck in a mud hole, al
though having a light buggy and a
strong horse. He got out, took a rail
tho the fence, and was trying to ory
the vehicle out, when along came a
strapping young woman about . 2o years
of age. She halted, surveyed the
atinn, and said;
‘ You stand by the horse while I heave
on the rail, and don’t be afraid of get- *
mad on your hands and hoots.*
Their unir-od efforts released t-he vc
hide, and the Detroiter returned many
j thanks, and asked her to got g S in “““ and
ude. ouo iiesuatod, looked up and
down the the road, and finally said ;
‘Stranger, I’m blunt spoken. Who
are you /'
Ho gavo his name and residence, and
she continued:
•I’m over 25, worth $500 in cash,
know all about housework— and this is
leap year.’
‘Yes, I know, but for heaven’s sake
don’t ask me to marry yon !’ ho replied
as ho saw the drift,
‘See here,’ she continued, looking
,. bun square . m the ey.e, ‘1 m a straight
gir . wear a No. 7 shoe, and I like the
looks of you-’
‘Yes but don’t - don't talk that wav
-
t0 me
‘Stranger, ‘its Leap year, and I’m go
ing to pop.? Will you have me or
not ?’
‘1—I’m already married !’ he said,
‘Honest Injun f»
Yes!’
‘Well, that settles me, and I TOOn , t
ride ! I’ll take a cut across tho field to
old Spoouer’s. He’s got four sons and
a fool nephew, and I’ll begin on the old
man and pop t! e crowd clear down to
the idiot, for I’vo slumraixed around
this world just as long as I’m going to!
Goodxbye, sir—no harm done !’
To take a strong-willed, energetic
man into the church, and give him
nothing to do, is a great folly. Such
men must be active. If you do not
give them something to do inside the
chuicli, the devil will be likely to, find
them a j >b out . I j.
Mrs. Spriggie.
Not a week later Airs. Sprite pre¬
sented herself again at IJriarley, The
black dress had suffered visibly from
contact with muddy roads on the way.
The black sun boDuet was limpor and
rustier than ever. Their wearer drop
od into a chair, and crossed her hands
dejectedly on her knees.
•Recoil ye done heered 'bout my gal
bein' mar ied,’ she said, without raising
her eyes from the floor.
‘Yes, I was much surprised to hoar
it,’ the mistress replied. ’Shu must

“Yeo she is tol'abio young, is sis—
' goin’on fifteen. But now, I was married
at thirteen—I was so P
She looked up quickly, but catching
an expression ef disapproval on the
mistress's face, she east her eyes again
upon the, floor
‘The west on it is,' continued she,
die ain’t got a cent, nor he can’t make
one nutber.’
‘ Why did you let your daughter take
him, then!’
‘Well, ho come a dwellin' round sis,
an' he'd alius a powder-horn a bangin'
on to himi so I jest’lowed he'd a gun,
and could keep sis in coons and pus
sums. She’s a master-band at fresh

Mrs. Spriggle pushed back her bon

answered. Then she shook her head
, mournfully.

I
Mat 1 imon ial Sufferers.
I In most things in this world that in¬
volye error, women suffer more keenly
for tboir imprudence.than men. Take
unequal marriages, for instance, of
which so many have occurred of late.
A young man who marries beneath him
is to be pitied; but we cannot comrois
, erato him as we do a young gir! who
j i, a3 perpetrated an equally fat i X>1 an—
| der. from which //c had all choose. the world lie before wields, him by
1 to
| mt reaching *™ ] ri scepter * ht ’ a mn than , re Powerful she. Copbetua farther
i may woo the beggar maid, and the
; chances are as ten to one that the beg
i gar maid, wearing royal robes, shall do
him honor on tho throne she shares.
Were the cases reversed, tho old home¬
ly proverb would be far more likely to
i be realized, that “you cannot make a
silken purse of a sow,s car/’ A man's
j character and tastes are generally
formed before he ia 21. But a woman's
desire to please is so great that she
may be almost entirely remolded after
marriage, so tho marriage be one of
love, and the husband good enough,
patient enough and wise enough But if to
conduct the experiment. a
woman, whose life is spent in her home,
makes a mistake with regard to him
who is te be the king and lord, the
house-bond and support of the home, j
she is a fit object for the pity of angels
and men. Then look after the inti -
macies of your daughters, and do not
leave them to rely upon their own judg¬
ment, however wise they may seem for
their yeras.

A DRUNKARD’S WIFE
If thorn bo a lonely woman arnid the
multitude of lone and sorrowful women
more to be pitied than another, I think
it is a wife looking upon one she has
promised to honor, laying upon the bed
with his hut and lien's on. Her com¬
forter, who sworn at her so- long as he
could epmtk at all. Her protector, ut¬
terly unable to brush a (ly from his own
face. Her companion, laying in tbo
stupor of death, with none of its solemn
dignity. Ashe is entirely unconscious
of her acts, f wonder if she never em¬
ploys the slowly passing moments in
taking down her old idol, her ideal from
its place in her memory and comparing
it with the broken defacod image before
her. 'Of all poor, broken idols, scatter¬
ed into fragments tor the divine pa¬
tience of womanhood to gather, and ce¬
ment with tears, suen a ruin as this
sec me, the most.impossible to mold anew
into any form of comeliness. And if
there is a commandment seemingly im¬
possible to obey, it is for a woman to
love a. man she is in deadly fear of,
honor a man she can’t help but be
ashamed of, obey a man who cannot
speak his commands intelligently
The theory of recognizing our friends
in the future world iso, beautiful one.
and worthy of much thought, lint f
think it is.commendable to try to keep
our friends in a condition to recognize
us in this world, try to keep a man
while lie is alive, so bo will know his
wife and children, and noi;, as often
occurs, turn them out into the storm of
winter midnight or murder them in his
frenzy.
A special telegram from Washington
states that Collector Clark, of Georgia
is there in con ference with Commission¬
er Ramis, in regard to more expeditious
measures for prosecuting tho war on
moonshiners. According to Mr. Clark,
the difficulty to be overcome is that tho
revenue officers in our state, while pur
suing illicit distillers, are often frustra¬
ted by the offenders escaping over the
border into another state, and the
officers of course cannot follow under
their commissions. It has been deci¬
ded that revenue officers of the diflNr
out states shall co-operate, and those of
a state into which tho offenders may flee
shall be ready with commissions under
that state for the pursuing officers, and
also shall join in the pursuit. This new
departure lias particular reference to
Georgia, North Carolina aud South
Carolina,— 6 ainsvillc Eagle.
The following is an extract from Dr.
Taimages’ sermon;
“What is a man?’ He is a soul wit’,
imperishable hopes high as the throne
of god. What is a man? He is tbo
battle-ground for three worlds—with
lighter darkness. A man! No
can measnrejhim, no bounds can confine
him, rio archangel outlive him -a man!
stars shall go out, but ho will watch
their -■ • extinguishment. ’ Tin world .....
burn, but ho will gaze Will on thocouflxgr *
tion. Endless ages pass by, bu r
will count the ceaseless tramp of tbo
procession. A man—the master piece
of the Lord God Almighty !’
