The wind with a hollow sound Sighr through the lea fl.ess_branchcs; Dead leaves stir about the mound Covered with dying grasses. From the sky comes a wail of sadneis, Like a dirge sung o’er the dead; The dead trees shake with madness— Sorrow is weaving her web. Swiftly shejtreads the loom of time, Throwing the shuttle of fate Through the warp and filling of life, Ever sighing, too late! too late! Sometimes a bright thread is broken, Sorrow breathes a soft, low moan; Another snarls, leaving a sad token— Sorrow sighs in a low, deep tone. But the loom goes on with a groan, The monotonous tread never ceasing; The shuttle still flying, is thrown With a strength that is ever increasing. But, Io! at the side of sorrow Stands one of the Heavenly number; Joy gladly takes up the threads Sorrow has broken asunder. —SOBISIQET, HE MADE A MISTAKE.

Pact is, I’m rather a hard-hearted man on the average, but I used to be a little worse than I am now. One even-, ing, five or six years ago, right in front of this very store, a boy about twelve years of age hit me for a dime. He had tears in his eyes, a drawl to his voice, and I spotted him at once for an impost er. He went on to say that his father was sick and unable to work, and that he himself had been down with a fever and had no strength to look for a job, and I laughed in derision and told him to clear out or I’d give him in charge.” “It’s an old dodge,” observed the man who was smoking a corn cob pipe. “Exactly, but it may not always be a dodge. I had a pocket full of silver, but I was too onery mean to hand over a dime. Suppose the boy was lying? Suppose he want ed the money for himself? How contemptible in me to begrudge that trifling sum to a little chap who was all skin and bone and ev idently needed a square'meal.” “But it would have been en couraging vice,” said the man with a checked shirt front. “Bosh! There are men in this city who are looked upon as shin ing examples, who cheat and swin dle the people out of a thousand dollars where vice gets a shilling. This little incident I have been re lating went out of my mind in an hour, but the next day, as I was looking over an old tenement with the owner, who wanted me to fig ure on repairs, who should I come across but the boy of the night be fore.

This from the Washington cor respondence of the New . Orleans Picayune may be of ’interest to Jhpse desiring offices: ‘‘The tard iness of the President in making removals or changes in the South is partly explained by the position which he announces in conversa tion with representatives from the South. He insists that evidence shall be furnished in each case of inefficiency or neglect, or malfea sance, or partisan activity or of- fensiveness, and he complains that he is pressed to act in many cases when this was not done. He does not understand why it should be difficult to present such testimony. It is understood that if it be es tablished that an officer has en couraged or permitted political as sessments, or gone on the stump, or has attended party conventions, that in all such cases the incum bent would be removed.” In one or more such cases, however, the proofs have been sent to Washing ton, have reached the proper de partment, and have then myste riously disappeared. It is obvious that the ~ records in these cases should be made up promptly and forwarded by some trusty agent or representative to The President or the appropriate secretary. A Pointer for Young Attorneys. S iwmbere^ow L.-faad "repulsed There is a young lawyer in the city who once practiced the pro fession in Atlanta. In front of his door hung a brand new sign, bear ing the gilt inscription that told his occupation. The young law yer sat in his office for two months and not a single client called. Af ter many days of weary waiting the young attorney finally conclu ded that there was something wrong about the sign. Acting upon a mental suggestion he took the sign down one night and beat it until the lettering was quite faint, and then replaced it. A very good practice followed. There may be a pointer in this incident for some of our young at torneys.—Macon Telegraph. A Sad Career. The divorced wife of a bonanza millionaire recently came to a mournful death principally from taking chloral, which unsettled her mind arid demoralized her whole physical system. She Sad been weakly and ailing and felt her need of something to drown her sorrow and brace her up.

There is a vast quantity of insin cere praise passing .current like false coin and proving as ruinous in its ultimate results. It may all be summed up' under the word flattery—though the motives which prompt it are various. Sometimes it is dealt out with a conscious intention of producing such an influence as willl subserve the flatterers purposes and inter ests. Simple and undiscriminat- ing people, captivated by these ap peals to their vanity, fall an easy prey to the snares thus laid for them, and become willing tools in the hands of the selfish and un scrupulous. With’such counter feits are votes and offices bought, wrong doing of every kind bar gained for, and often the utmost misery of mind and body consu- mated.- This is at once tlie very worst and the very meanest use to which praise can be put. Then there is the flattery which aims only to please, or rather to make the flatterer acceptable. The thousand fictions of what is called polite society; the amiable assur ance of interest where none is felt; dissertation on the listener’s good looks, or on his virtues and agree able qualities, of the existence of which the flatterer at best knows nothing. All such is worse than valueless, for it means simply an attempt to gratify vanity at-the ex pence of truth. Like all insincer ity, only hope of success being in deceit, its ultimate end must be failure. . Sincerity is a requisite to make praise worthy, but there must be ability to judge of the matter in hand. The artist feels but little satisfaction at the plaudits from those who are utterly ignorant of the art they are praising. The merchant’s opinion of a farm, or the farmer’s of a vessel, or the sailor’s of an edifice, or that of ei ther of them concerning a medical case, may be sincerely given Jbut can carry but little weight to those who are familiar with every de tail. As a general thing he who praises should himself excel in that department. It is only those. who have character and principle themselves that are qualfied to praise character in others. What does it avail for a deceitful man to praise truthfulness in another, for a mean man to commend an other’s liberality, for a swindler to shower plaudits on one who is the soul or honor? give praise worth having, he must know of .what he speaks-. It may be said that by limiting praise to such narrow bounds, the pleasure which flows from it is greatly'diminished. On the con trary it would greatly increase the pleasure of sincere and intelligent praise. : Not half the commenda tion that is truly felt arid well de served finds expression. There is plant potato vines. The wrong in volves legs labor but requires more vines. Some farmers always “go in” for the quickest way of doing a thing, which may not be, and often is not the best way.' The usual practice is to lake from one to two feet of vine, or more—just as it may happen -double it up in the middle, and leave both ends sticking out. Some lay off a deep farrow, lay the vines across the same, and cover with a hoeful of soil. In our own experience we have found that it pays to exer cise a little care, and to follow some uniform rule in doing this, as well as other kinds of work. If too much of the vine be buried in the earth the result will be a large number of .small, stringy potatoes. This is because each joint, or eye, of the vine that * is covered will emit roots and form tubers. We tried the following plan for sever al seasons, and believe the results were better: Trim off the vines that are several feet in length, al ways leaving not less than one foot next the hill from which they are taken. Cut each -vine into lengths of not less than three nor more than four eyes (leaves), al ways catting just below or inside a leaf. This will enable the opera tor to know at a glance which end of the cutting is the root end, or the end next to the root. Then trim off all the leaves except the one next the growing end, or'end farthest from the roots, and set in a hole made with a dibble, or sharpened stick, leaving the one leaf' with its eye just at the surface, pressing the soil very firmly around the vine. Every eighteen inches is close enough. By this plan we found the vines to live much better, as there is only one leaf to evaporate moisture on each cutting. The two or three eyes that are buried will throw out roots and make a few fair-sized smooth potatoes. A pair of old sheepsbears an swers a good purpose in trimming the'vines. It may not be necessa ry, probably not, to cut off the lower leaves, but they should be buried at any rate. Potatoes intended for seed or for late spring use, should always Be saved from the latter plantings of potatoes (vines), as they will be apt to keep m iich better. corn, they laid violent hands on Aurora Blute.

I have tried to be a good and faithful wife, and have but one favor to ask of you before I die.” “What is that Margaret?” “You know I was born and reared in Cleveland. It was there I first met you and the happiest hours of our wedded life was pass ed. You remember this Robert.’* “Yes,” uneasily. “My relatives are all buried there and when I am gone I wish to rest beside them. Will You grant me this one favor?” “There will be considerable ex pense attached to it,” musingly. “Oh, Robert! I will never rest easy in my grave anywhere, else.” “Well, Maggie, Til tell you what I’ll do. I don’t want to be mean about the thing. Ill bury you here first, and then if I notice any signs of resllessness oh your part I’ll take you to Cleveland after wards.” The profit from any produce largely depends upon the manner in which it is sold.
