WHAT I LIKE.
Vesta V. Ohlinger in Old Homeatead.
I like the gentle springtime
That comes with buds so fair,
When hyacinths and snowdrops
.^Breathe fragrance on the air;
When birds their nests are building
1 Among the budding sprays
Of lilac sweet and jessamine—
j Oh, that Hike always.
! I like the summer evenings
j When twilight falls around,
j And silver rays of moonlight
Shine softly o’er the ground;
And perfnfines from sweet roses
And honeysuckles white
s>teal out upon the balmy air
All through the dewy night.
I like the golden autumn
When gathered are the sheaves,
And touched with red and yellow
Are lovely'maple leaves;
When nuts are strewn so thickly
Beneath the hickory trees,
And squirrels in the tree tops
Are swaying with the breeze.
I like the showy winter,
When every twig that’s found
Is pure and white and pearly,
And covered is the ground
With fair, untrodden snowflakes,
And frosty is the air
That sends the white clouds flying
And scattering everywhere.
But what I like the best, dear,
Is you here by my side,
And know you think me dearer
Than all the world beside.
Though springs and summers come,
dear,
And falls and winters too,
I know your love will last, dear,
TUI all the years are through.

Pansy Garland was the most
heartless little flirt in the world. I
have it on good authority—a doz
en authorities, for the matter of
that, each one oi which had sought
for the missing organ of Miss Gar
land’s anatomy, but all in vain.
Either they were right,and no such
member had entered intoiier com
position, or, not relishing their
method of vivisection, Miss Gar
land had carefully placed the said
member beyond the reach of the
instruments that threatened it.
Whichever th^-case, it was cer
tain that the young lady had her
self performed this same operation
of vivisection many times, and she
might have been the embodiment
of that fabled and horrible mon
ster who feasted on the hearts of
his victims, so mightily did she
thrive on those dainty tidbits.
But one or two circumstances
put an end to Miss Garland’s inno
cent pastime. The first was the
sudden death of her mother, fol
lowed scon after by that of her fa

and absolutely unprovided for.
Her father died insolvent, having
got his affairs into such a tangle,
not to say snarl, that there had
been only one way to cut the Gor
dian knot, which he did by breath
ing out his life in his daughter’s
arms, commending his soul to the
clemency of heaven; his debts to
his creditors, and Pansy Garland
to the guardianship of his executor
and heaviest loser by his death,
-Donald Howard Marshall.
Mr. Marshall knew far more
about the necessities of the brutes
dependent upon his bounty, than
the" requirements of a woman’s
heart, yet his own. nature was'so
pure, so deep, so tender, as always
to touch upon the womanly; so
strong and noble ibat the very
helplessness of the small, hazel,
eyed child appealed to it irresista-
bly, as weakness must always ap
peal to its opposite.
He had had his romance. Out
side the city limits yonder, nnder
a green mound, his heart lay in
the coffin of the woman he had
once thought to make his wife.
For ten years it had lain there “m
solemn salvatory,” sealed forever,
as he believed, with the inviolable
seal of death; but Winfield Gar
land’s daugther must be provided
for, protected and cared for, and it
was fpr Donald Marshall to do it;
there was no one else. If she had
been with, and surrounded by
friends, there would have been no
trouble; a thousand solutions to a
perplexing problem would have
presented themselves where now
there was but one. That one he
accepted. — . j
He went to her, offered her his ‘
hand, his name, and she. from the*
moment she looked up into his
grave, ciuiet eyes, knew that she
had found her master; and the. Va
rious authorities, unlike the com
mon run, were correct; her heart
had long ago been given, all un
consciously, into the keeping: of
Donald Marshall. She never ques
tioned Ins love, although she knew
He was making a daugerous ex
periment, but she Sid not realize
it.
And they were married. One
bleak, cold day they turned from
the altar and .passed out of the
ohurch man and wife. The stray
handful of snow that had-been
falling-at intervals since dawn sud
denly ceased; the gray clouds rent
themselves from zenith to horizon,
a glory of crystal sunshine poured
down upon the head of an unloved
wife, and it snowed no - more that
day; the rift never closed, but
widened and broadened until it
took in the whole blue shining
dome of heaven; the sun went
down iu a pure, mellow sky. She
called him to see it, and he, bend
ing from his great height, gently
kissed her brow.
“Thus shall your life be as bright
and cloudless to its setting, heaven
willing.”
She smiled, well content, with
out fear for the future she bad
given him to keep, while the twi
light fell and shut them in.
Yes, they were married, he with
a woman’s heart in his possession,
she—ah! pity is a sad exchange for
the rich, living love a woman
craves! For a time the strength
of her affection mesmerized into
artificial vitality the dead body of
his, and she was happy. But it
could not be always;the truth came
crushing down upon her at last.
It does not matter how she
found it out; it does not matter
how the heart comes into its bit
terness, how the soul claims its
heritage of woe. The greatest
question is to learn how to accept
it, endure it, and—live.
Live! that had to be. She would
have, died of mortification, grief
and pain, but pain, grief and mor
tification rarely kill. She must
live and bear her trouble. That
was hardest of all. -
What was to be done? He was an
every day, prosaic sort of man,
with little romance about him. He
saw but one remedy.
“We must expect it and live it
down together,” he said sadly.
“But will you go away, and let
me learn to bear it alone?”
“My dear, that is impossible. I
cannot give up pay business, drop
everything and set out in vain wan
derings after happiness, which
could never be obtained iu any
such fashion,” said this curious
young man, opening his eyes.
His creed held that the obliga
tions of life imposed a higher du
ty than to follow the erratic guid
ance of an imperfect, emotial na
ture.
“Then let me go; this is killing
me! ’
“You wish to get a—divorce?”
He had a fierce internal struggle
before he could bring himself to
utter that word. He had failed
signally, then; in the effort to make
her happy, since she could submit
to the disgrace—yes, he was old-
fashioned enough to call it a dis
grace—of a divorce suit, and the
uncertain position she must occu
py in society afterword, in prefer
ence to an honorable place at the
head of his house.
“A divorce? Yes, anything—
anything!”
“Poor child! Poor, miserable
child!” he said, compassionately.
“Forgive me—1 cannot grant your
request. You dp not understand
what it involves. No, dear,we can
never rectify one mistake by plung
ing into another. No court in the
land can break, in the sight of
heaven, the ties which bind us un
til death to each other. Space it
self cannot; absolve ns. from the
There fis-Bnt one way, as I have
said; we must live it down togeth
er, no.f apart . A woman's rightful
plaeeds by her husband’s side, un
der his protection; nowhere else
can she Rve out her fall life. Any-
thing so unnatural as a separation
cannot be attended witlra bleis-
But she must save the shattered
remnants of her life; away from
him somewhere she might put
them together and piece out an ex
istence that might not be wholly
despised. She would go away; it
would be better for them both.
But he had always been kind to
her; yes, very kind; she could not
think of the tender, compassionate
way in which he had sought to
help her after she had made her
cruel discovery, without tears. Per
haps, after all, they could learn to
bear it, to live it down, better to
gether, as he had said. He was
strong, and so very, very patient
and tender; close to his side, her
weakness hidden in his strength,
she might grow contented. But,
no,'his heart was dead, and she
loved him; there was no content-
mant in the thought; she must go.
She waited fervently until night,
then stole into the empty library
and laid her little good-by note on
his desk. There was the book he
had been reading; yonder, not far
off, her own desk, her sewing chair
and her work basket. She did not
touch anything; she had forfeited
the right; she would go now, the
room was too much for her. He
had preached duty., not love; and
yet he was kind—she would always
remember his kindness.
So she stole away out of the
house. On. the terrace she paused
one moment to take her courage
more firmly in hand, and then, to
her dismay, it suddenly evaporated
wholly and without warning. She
could not go—she dared not! She
was—afraid. It was a humiliating
confession to make,but it was true.
The sight of the big, silent world,
although it shimmered like an opal
iu the moonlight, struck terror to
her soul. What might not lurk
yonder in those gray, sinister look
ing shadows? No, no, no! She
could not go alone, not alone!
She crept into the house a mis
erable little coward,for whom there
could be no apology; it was cool
and sweet there, and -safe. Long
feathers of silver light were thrown
over the carpet; the fragrance of
honeysuckles,ber favorite flower,
came sweeping in at the window on
the fresh night air. r
There was.the faint, far-off odor
of a cigar somewhere, too.
He was coming, her husband!
She could hear him whistling soft
ly as he came up the path. He was
not wholly miserable, then. She
hurriedly found the note and de
stroyed it, and was ready to face
Donald when he entered, though
trembling in every limb.
“Pansy, is it you, dear, and in
the dark?”
He always called her dear, he
was very tender with his little
wife;his one desire was to repair
the wrong he had unwittingly done
her. v
“Where are the -matches? 1 will
light the gas,” said he.
“No, not yet, Donald, please; I—
I do not wish anv light, it liurjs
my eyes, I think.”
“Are you ill? Does yonr head
ache?"
“I am well,but I have something
to tell yon. I would rather say it
in the dark, Donald”—with a per
ceptible effort—“I tried to leave
your bouse just now—desert you,
they call it, don’t they?”
“But you did not go,” he said
slowly, very slowly. “Why, dear?”
“I—I was afraid. The world was
so big, so solitary!”
“Poor little coward—poor little
unhappy Pansy! I want you to
promise me never to try to desert
me again.”
He had not spoken immediately.
When he did his voice had been
marriage vows which we took upon- ^ ^
was somethirg
ourselves m the sight, of heaven
under its very quiet that made her
shiver.
No covert threat, only that great
gen tleness without which ha never
addressed her, and yet it seemed
throbbing with pityandregret that
was almost passionate in its still
intensity.
“I wilLpromise, i f y on wish i t,
After that Pansy spoke of her
sorrow no more, bat fell into the
way of entertaining much compa
ny, as she had done when a girl.
Donald looked on quietly,glad that
she was happy, he told himself ;yet
he missed the quiet hours they had
spent together, and winced at the
sound of her gay laughter when
other men paid her homage.
He had never observed how
pretty she was until she blushed
and dimpled at the compliments
showered upon her. And how well
she talked—with what wit faud vi
vacity! Mary Bains had been
sweet and gentle, but Pansy was
more—a charming and amiable
woman of the world."
Donald Marshall for years had
been true to an ideal. Now he
awoke to the real, and discovered
that he loved his wife as he had
never loved that other woman. And
she, he bitterly told himself, had
learned to do without him.
For Pansy was unfeignedly hap
py in these, brighter and gayer
days, and seemed well content to
take up her girlhood’s pastime just
where she had dropped it. To Don
ald she was sweet and gracious,
and nothing more;, her eyes were
no longer raised to his in mute be
seeching for the love he with-held;
indeed, they sparkled with happi
ness and health, and looked at all
the world except him. •
It was one soft, Jone day. Pan
sy had been walking, and came
home through the dewy meadows.
The twilight had fallervaud Don
ald went out to meet her.
“I thought you might be afraid,”
he said, as a sort -of apology for
the intrusion.
“No, no!” she returned, smiling.
“People whose lives are full have
no room for cowardice, I think.”
“Then your life is full?”
“Yes.”
“And you have i)o room for my
love? You have discovered it to
be quite worthless—it has come
too late?”
She looked at him, and tho sweet
face ( . brightened as she put her
hands in his.
“No, Donald, it has not come too
late. Dear, did you think me
blind? I knew you loved me be-
force you knew it yourself. That
is why my life is full—why I am
so happy. Not value your love?
Did you think I could live without
it?”
And Donald was satisfied.

Brothers of the Alliance:
The Alliance of Spalding county
has nominated me for the position
of President of the State Alliance
of Georgia. They did this on their
own motion, and against my re
quest, but in a way that my per
sonal regard for them will prevent
my declining.
They instruct their delegate
vote for me, which brings me be
fore your State body, and thus
brought there, it is-natural that
should desire to receive the sup
port of others.
I am not the candidate of any
faction in the Alliance. On the
contrary, I look upon every AI-
lianceman as my friend and broth
er.
No one Has been consulted as to
my candidacy, outside of my own
county. I am totally unpledged to
any side of any question that may
come before the Alliance, and am
in no clique, ring, or combination
of any nature.
I say this much thatevery broth
er may know that-1 stand only on
the platform of the Alliance, under
the banner of Peace, Unity and
Fraternity.
Having held the controlling in
terest in the Southern Alliance
Farmer, our organ, for some time,
and having been editor of the
Farmer and Fruit Grower of Grif
fin for years, my position on the
principles of the order- have been
known and read of all men.
I not only favor the principles ef
our order, but I try to illustrate
them in my life and conduct, i
have devoted my brain, my hands
and my money to its success,aud my
earnest prayer to God is that the
Alliance may prosper and finally
meet with that success they so
richly merit.
I do not come into the arena to
create a stir or confusion, nor to
embitter any man against another.
I do not come to break the influence
of any man, or to destroy his use
fulness. I come simply at the in
stance of those who know me best,
•t-> try to eularge my sphere of what
they call “usefulness to the order.
I have no unkind word to say
about anyone, and trust that those
who do me the honor to press my
claims, may do it in “wisdom, jus
tice and moderation.”
If elected to the position of
President of the Alliance I will do
all I can to put the entire organi
zation in the way of building up
and fostering the financial condi
tion of its large membership,
through the principles of co-oper
ation, locally and generally—local
ly through their own enterprises,
and generally through their ex
change. Lbelieve that my expe
rience in these matters will be
worth something to the order in
the accomplishment of these pur
poses. I should take the Alliance
into no position upon any matter
without first arriving at its wishes
in the premises,as may be express
ed in its laws, or declared by the
official action of its advisory com
mittees. When men act on their
own motion, they sometimes fall
into error, however noble and bon
orable their intentions may be.
The wise man said: “Where no
counsel is, the people fall; but in
the multitude of counggttors there
is safety.”
Oar order is too grand an organ
ization to be imperilled on. the ac
count of anything. Everything of
every nature to be done, therefore,
should be reft of selfishness, and
only the common good of all be
sought in every action taken. Top
per truly says: “Confidence cannot
dwell where selfishness is porter
at the gate.”
With these sentiments on my
lips and in my heart, I say to the
great brotherdood, if yon think an
other can serve yon better, take
him instead til me, and let this be
as though it was never -written.
With no enemies to punish, no
friends to reward, no personal in
terests to subserve, I am just as
willing to bring up the rear as to
leadin the front.

In noting the fact that the death
of General Johnston followed
closely upon that of General Sher
man, the Boston Globe calls atten
tion to the progress of the South
since the two veterans met in North
Carolina to arrange terms of peace.
When JohnBton surrendered he
saw the heart of the Sonth deso
lated and turned into a desert by
the invaders. Nevrr in modern
warfare was there seen a spectacle
of such complete wreck and rnin.
Yet, says the Globe, during the
last year of the lives of these two
great military captains, the as
sessed valuations of property in
the Sonth increased *270,000,000,
and 104 new national banks were
created, with a capital of *10,523,-
793. The total valne of foreign
exports Trom Southern ports in
creased $24,141,000, five times as
great an increase as that shown by
all other ports combined. The
production of pig iron was 1,900,-
000 tons, a gain of 395,000 tons
over 1889. Over 8,000,000 bales
of cotton, worth over *400,000,000,
were produced, of which 549,478
bales were consumed in Southern
mills. “
When to these facts are added
the new railroads and many indus
tries springing up on every hand
in a section so recently devastated
by the sword and torch, and plun-
dered for yenrs under reconstruc
tion rule, the exhibit now made is
one that may well astonish the
world. —
Before they died Sherman must
have reatized the incomparable su
periority of the building-up fac
tors of industry over the destruc
tive agencies of war, and Johnston’s
bitter memories of defeat must
have been effaced by the smiling
victories of peace.
Looking at the shining record of
the past quarter of a century, it
will take a bold prophet to set
bounds to our progress during an
other generation. The rising
South is rushing to the front to
stay!

The Germ Destroyer.

In the field of discovery and in
vention, medicine lias not kept
pace with surgery; That, perhaps,
is natural; service surgery is. the
mechanical branch of medicine.
The general aeceytanceof the germ
theory oi disease, however, opens
a new field for medicine, and will
take-it completly away from the
medieval superstitions that still
cling to its skirts. And yet medi
cine is not withonl its discoveries. '
It has long been known, and the
fact is now recognized wherever
the test has been made, that Swift’s
Specific (S. S. S:) will destroy the
germs of malarial diseases, the
microbe of skin diseases, »««! the
bacilli of contagions and other
forms of blood poisoning, ejects
them from the blood, and purifies
and builds up the system. Ifo
medical discoveryof our day bag
achieved such remakable snecess.
