LOVE’S CONQUEST.
Daughters of America.
I have heard of a wonderful monarch.
A sovereign of absolute sway.
Who cnnqnors the heart? of his people.
And holds them in hooping for aye.
In palace and cottage he reigneth.
O'er prince and o’er peasant the same,
For the poorest is rich aft his coming,
And the wealth of the world is his name.
At the touch of his marvelous scepter
The fettered go singing, straightway,
While the proudest in heart kneel before him,
And delight his sweet law to obey.
Ah. the strongest are weak at his coming.
And the weakest are mighty through him,
Ho joy but it Is brighter beside him,
No sorrow his glory can dim.
Though he comes to thy heart as a stranger.
Oh, prize him all gladness above,
For that day is the day of thy crowning
At the hand of thy sovereign—Love 1

“Is that so?" says Horniky, now
half raised np off the log, with
month partially open intently lis
tening, or entirely oblivious to all
the other boyB immensely tickled
at his antics and thejgreat interest
be seemed to manifest in Clint’s
story.
“Yes,” sayBfClint, “that is a la
mentable fact, but we don’t intend
to tell it that way when we get out.
We’ll say we gave the Yanks what
Paddy gave the drum, at Carrack’s
Ford—drove them back with great
slaughter, and then retreated in
good order. Mix it up.”
“I golly! that’s the way to talk
it—make berlief,” says , Horniky.
“I use to lie about bow as once I
whipped a bar, an’ most everybody
in the settlement bleeved it was so
for a loug time, ’till a feller what
seed me and the bar both, and I
didn’t see him, told the people I
run like the dickens and the bar
couldn’t keep in Bmellin’ distance
of me.”
Well, how-some-ever,” says
Clint, pointing to Blank; “there is
a man who was on the rear guard,
and perhaps fired among the first
shots after they scrambled out of
the water on the opposite bank
from the enemy.”
“Mister,” says Horniky, “did
they shoot at you too?”
“Yes,” says Blank, “and just
like they didn’t care how they hit
me, nor where they struck me at.
I tried to think as fast as I conld
where was the best place to be
struck, but-the more I thought the
worse nneay I got, and immediate

mountains. Well, for a little while
I felt quite safe, bat you see there
were so many of the Yanks and so
few of me , that as soon as they
stretched out they conld get a sort
oE cross fire on me, and
squirmed or edged to one- side of
the tree, the other fellow would
crack down on me, and directly the
bark was flying off both sides of
tree with mo in the middle as wild
as a buck.” „
Had yon like a squirrel,”
Horniky.
Yes, in a worse fix than
poor squirrel you did’t kill.”
“But why didn’t you run?’
Horniky.
“Well, as 1 was going on to tell
yon, as soon as I got a chance, I
did run like the d — e — to get a
better position, you know.’
“I don’t blame you,” says Horni
ky. *Td a skinned too, and I’d a
kept on skinnin’, you bet
“How much more yon got to tell
mister?” says Horniky to Clint
“Oh, lots of it, if I had time to
spare,” says Clint
“We were in a manner cat to
pieces, with many killed and cap
tured. How many of our army
escaped we are unable to say, for
in tbe battle that raged -furiously
for a time and daring a heavy
storm of wind, rain and bghtening
we fellows, with a battalion of our
regiment were cut off and retreat
ed np the mountain, while onr
army after the death of our gener
al, Garnett, pushed np the river,
still fighting their way, endeavor
ing to hold and carry the sick in
front and along with them.”
“My Lord, that was worse then
eny bar fight I’s ever beam of,”
says Horniky
“Well, finding ourselves hope
lessly cut off, and now with
McClellan’s whole army between
us and our forces, we at once de
termined to leave the battalion and
endeavor to make onr way through
the mountains to Monterey or
Staunton. We were already in an
almost starving condition and com
pletely worn ont, yon might say,
or had nothing bat pluck to subsist
on ’till we conld do better. Some
suggested one thing and some an
other, but all were agreed that iir
was a gopher casefwith us to avoid
starvation, or by hook-a-ma-crook,
we most get back into God’s coun r
try. None of ns knew which way
to start. One man was as wise as
the whole pat together, or the
whole were stranded aud at the
mercy of chance to find the key to
the situation.”
“What sort o’ lookin’ key was
it?” says Horniky; “and what sort
a thing is a hook-a-ma-crook?”
“It wasn’t ajkey at all, but you
are the kind we wanted to find,
and we will expect you to manage
the hook-a-ma-crook for ns. That
isjonly a word we used to express
our situation. It means to slip
around an* 1 hide, or get oat if you
can.
“We had been np to this time al
ready fighting and retreating day
and night for several days without
a morsel to eat.
Why didn’t yon kill a cow or
some hogs?” says Horniky.
“We didn’t have time,” says
Clint, “every moment was others
wise engaged.”
“Well, to make a long story short,
for it would take a whole day to
tell you, all we left the battalion
and wandered through the forest
almost starved and in despair,
not knowing which way to go ’till
we came in sight of Cheat River,
which gave’ns some idea offwhich
direction to further trend our way.
That night after the battle we pro
cured a little ^something to eat
from some of yonr good mountain
people, and slept in the mountains
wet and cold, without blankets, and
so on ’till now-we feel fortnnate to
find the key to thesitnation in yon,
or that we have some one to guide,
direct and help nsj through the
wild regions lying so great a dis-‘
tance between us and onr next
base of operations.
“You see these boys all seem to
be full of fun and mischief now,
but we have undergone enough in
the last week or two to have killed
ordinary men. Wo are from the
south,)and now after so mhch rongh
and tumble we are as hard as light-
wood knots, or can almost five like
an alligator in tbe winter time.
'Bat stop a minit, mister,” says
Horniky, “and let me ax yer what
is a alligator?”
“Did yon never see an alligator?”
says one of the boys.
“No, and don’t know what they
is,” says Horniky.
Well,” says Jim, “they are a
great big, long thing, as long as
from me to yon, with. great soales
on them which look a little like
scales on a large fish. In fact, they
are a great fish, so to speak, and
with power enough in its tail to
knock yon into a cocked hat at one
lick, and then swallow yon to
boot.”
“Golly whopper! I wouldn’t like
to git close to one,” says Horniky,
‘Yes,” says Clint, “they swallow
a lightwood knot or small like
pieces of wood in the winter and
lie on the bottom of the river or
mill pond, so said, without
eating any more ’till the next
spring.” ^
“Is Eh at so?” says Horniky.
“Yes,” says Clint, “and each of
us swallowed a cypress knee a
week or more ago, and -have man
aged very well to get along with
little or nothing to eat”
“Did you ever try it?” says
Watt
“Golly, no! I couldn’t never git
the thing down my throat, and be
sides I haint no room in my stom
ach for it,’*-says Horniky. “That
big soldier,” pointing to Zeke,
“looks like he swallowed a good
big one.”
“Yes,” says Jim, “it takes two
to fill him up right”
“What’s that you say about me?”
says Zeke, now nearly asleep.
_ “Well, yon fellers is had a hard
time, if yon is tellin’ the trnth
’bout fightin’ and starvin-so long,’
says Horniky. “I thought when !
fast seed yon, yon was strange
lookin’ men, but I didn’t say noth
in’—only thonght to myself.’
“Well,” says Clint, “we must
finish onr instructions to Horniky,
aud the object to be accomplished
through him. Yon most take us,’
says he “tbrongh the mountains
over trails where only cattle or
huntsmen travel, to avoid all the
more thickly settled sections; We
may be wrong in our impressions,
bat we think there is a large ele
ment, we mean men of the moun
tains, antagonistic to us m senti
ment, that is; against ns,-who might
attempt to gather together and
capture or butcher us. We are
able and willing to cope with any
thing like onr own numbers, but
we think best to avoid a conflict of
any kind, and steadily push our
way on ’till we make a connection
again with onr army.
“Now-we are all going|to pledge
onrselves and swear to yon that no
harm shall befall you while in onr
hands, unless you so decree it by
yonr acts, thereby bringing suspi
cion upon yourself and disaster to
ns. We mean should yon deceive
or mislead ns.”
“Boys,” says Clint, “hold np
yonr right hands and I will now
administer the oath.”
Five hands went up at Clint’s
command, bat the sixth, making
the seventh with Clint;and without
Horniky, lay listless on Zeke’s
breast, who lay flat of his back and
faat asleep and snoring most out
rageously. The attention of each,
as well as Clint, and also Horniky,
.now killing himself laughing is
turned together to the happy state
into which Zeke had drafted away.
“Hold on boys,” says Clint,
“take down yonr hands ’till we
wake Zeke up. All must swear in
this matter.”
“Tarn that old- gobbler over,”
says Jim to Watt, “or pull one of
his sore toes and see how he will
take it.” , —
“Zeke! Zeke! Oh Zeke! get np.
The Yanks are coming - through
the mountains after ns, and we
mast get away from here quick.”
“Wha-wka-t’s that?” says Zeke,
a daze, and now hurriedly
scrambling to his feet, looking as
wild as a buck. ,
“Nothing,” says Clint, only we
want to swear yen with the bal
ance that we won’t hurt Horniky.”
Horniky seems now like he
would go into a dock fit enjoying
Zeke’s temporary discomfiture.
“Hold up your hands boys,”
again comes from Glint.
Up comes Zeke’s hand with the
balance of ns.
“You,and each of you,do solemnly
swear before High Heaven and all
these mountains around ns, that
Hornikyshallhave every protection
and the kindest treatment while in
our hands, so help you God.”
“Golly! I’s glad to hear that,
and now feel easy again,” says
Horniky.
“One more oath, now boys,” says
Clint, “and we will move on moder
ately ’till night, camping some
where again in the tkioket. Hold
up yonr hands.
“Yon, and each of yon, do sol
emnly swear before High Heaven
and the blood of Horniky, that in
theeventhe misleads or betrays
ns, the moment we are satisfied be
yond a question, be wilfully done
so, be shall die to atone for his
vilainly, so help yon God.”
Horniky now looks ill at ease
again, whereupon all say to him:
'Have no fear, if yon are only true
to ns—we are honorable, and will
die by you in the right.”
“Well,” says Horniky finally,"
“yon can trust me as yon would
yerself. l’s true to the gizzard. I’s
for the Southern soldier from the
crown of my foot to the sole of my
head. My dad is in that army now,
and fit at Carrack’s Ford with yon
all, I rec’on. _ I would er bin thar
myself, but I love to hunt so good
I hate to quit it. I ain’t ’fraid to
fight—.you bet I ain’t”
Well boys,”''says Clint, “we
have had a good long rest, and
suppose we travel on again.”
’Agreed,” says all the others, at
the same time calling to Horniky
to take the lead, bat not to go so
fast.
“Just a moderately pert .gait,’’
says Zeke.
“The milk of human kindness
most be np in yonr nature, says
Jim to Zeke.
“Oh well, it’s no use for yon to
taunt me, for yon know my feet
are in a worse condition that any
one in the crowd.
“That’s not so, look at Horniky,
he’s entirely barefooted and as
lively as a cricket’
“Come along np with me pard-
ner,” says Horniky to Zeke, “and
I will show yon how to step light
and ketch the donbled and twisted
lick on ’em.”
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
A great deal has been said about
the consumption of cotton, but in
the estimates of the probable in
crease in coming years, little ’’has
been said of what is likely to be
required in the countries to the
sonth of os. There are reasons
why this is a great oversight, and
all calculations which do not make
a-large allowance for the trade of
Spanish America are likely to be
far from correct.
As it is now, the trade in cotton
goods is seventy-fonr million in the
West Indies, Mexico and South
and Central America. ^This trade
is possible, when the cotton mast
go to England to be spun and
woven, and freighted back from
across the Atlantic. It may be im
agined what the consumption will
be when all this cotton is span and
woven in the fields, and, instead of
crossing the Atlantic twice, comes
directly from the south Atlantic
and Gulf ports by the shortest
route.
It is ajenrions fact that North
America is ahead in the trade with
Europe and behind in the trade
with South America. Why this
should be is hard to see, unless it
is because the decadence of ship
ping under the war tariff has re
moved onr flag from the merchan
dise of the world. It is a recent
dictum of thlTrepublican state de
partment that “trade follows the
" '• This sounds like bitter irony
for the party whose insane policy
drove our flag|from the sea.
This will not always be so. As
Peesident Harrison has happily
said: “This flag shall float on un
familiar seas,” but only by the re
laxation of the hide-bound policy
of this party. When the flag does
float wherever England’s is to be
seen, our trade will grow as far and
as fast as England’s. It is inevit
able that our cotton mills will sup
plant those of Great Britain in
South America. When the Nica
ragua canal is opened, no country
on earth will be able to compete
with ours in Chili, Peru and all
the north and west coasts of South
America.
But it is not only the sixty mill
ions of England’s cotton trade in
Spanish America that we will get.
The easy access to our mills and
the closer affiliation of the south
ern nations with our people will
make trade as fast|Jor faster than
we win it. The development will
be greater than the conquest.
Where now the population is 55,-
000,000, it will swell rapidly to
twice these proportions. The im
migration to the Argentine Repub
lic has, until a short time ago, been
more rapid for some years than
that to the United States. It is
not unlikely that, within twenty
years, the people in Mexico, Sonth
and Central America and the West
Indies will number a hundred
million souls. They have just be
gun a new life, the fullness of
which no man can measure.
Thus, while on the fertile plains
of Texas and in the vast alluvial
region of the Mississippi valley, we
can see untold millions of bales of
cotton, we can- also see across the
water untold millions of human be
ings coming np to be slothed with
the fleecy staple.
We want every mother to know
that croup can be prevented. True
croup never appears without warn
ing. The first symptom is hoarse
ness; then the child appears to
have taken cold, or a cold may have
accompanied the-hoarseness from
the start. After that a peculiar
rough cough‘is developed, which
is followed by the croup. The
time to act is when tbe child first
becomes hoarse; a few doses of
'Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will
prevent the attack. Even after a
rough cough has appeared, the
disease may be prevented by using
this remedy as directed. For sale

The Constitution prints to-day
two timely letters on wheat grow
ing. They show how this grain
may be made a sure crop in Geor
gia.
There was a time when wheat
was as staple a crop in this state aB
cotton, .There are now standing
in North Georgia the walls of a
great flouring mill which was sup
plied - exclusively with grain from
the fields of this state and Tennes
see. The flour which that estab
lishment made of Georgia wheat
was shipped across the Atlantic
and.sold in competition with the
-best flour from the mills of Eng
land and France. There is no rea
son why this conld not be done
now. The neighboring state of
Tennessee produces enormous
wheat crops. That for middle Ten
nessee alone was estimated at 3,-
000,000 bushels l$st year. In East
Tennessee the crop is not less sta
ple and successful. It is a poor
farmer there who cannot make
twenty bushels'an acre. East Ten
nessee is almost the same in soil
and climate as northwest Georgia.
The valleys run from one state in
to the other,the trencLof the weath
er is that way, and the difference
between Yaun’s vatley and Sweet
water’s valley is very slight, so far
as soil and climate go.
But the farmers of Georgia, af
ter a succession of poor crops,have
come to the conclusion that they
cannot grow wheat.^They think
the soil or the climate has changed.
If the soil has changed it may be
restored; and, so far as the climate
is concerned, the most careful ob
servations of the government for
nearly twenty years '.have failed to
reveal any change. There are men
in north and middle Georgia who
have never quit planting wheat,
and have hardly ever failed to
make a good crop. They say there
is no mystery about their success,
and any farmer who will prepare
the ground right,'sow at the right'
time the right kind of seed, look
well to drainage, rolling, etc., will
make a good wheat crop as often
as he makes a good cotton crop,
and will find that the grain will
pay him better.
We print letters from two such
farmers to-day—Major J. F. Jones,
of Hogansville, and Captain H. J.
McCormick, of Stilesboro. They
have succeeded in different parts
of the state, and we conld print
letters of scores in middle and
north Georgia who make wheat a
paying crop. The time to begin
plowing for wheat is near at hand,
and these letters appear when they
will do the most good.
If we can restore to Georgia this
great staple, the agricnltnre of the
state will be strengthened beyond
computation. Wheat is a cash
crop, as saleable as cotton, and, if
we make it pay as well, we bring a
flood of money into tbe state at
the time of year when it is most
needed.

The best way to ascertain wheth
er or not the condition of a people
is being bettered is by comparison.
Then to ascertain whether the
people of our own locality are in
better condition thanj they were a
year ago or in former years, is to
institute comparison after learning
the present status and knowing the
status formerly. There are evi
dences cropping ont here and there
which tend to show that the peo
ple of this section as a whole have
made some advance on last year’s
condition. There is more old cot
ton in the handsjnow, of farmers,
than at this season a year ago. THa
corn crop and other crops that
have been harvested, are reported
to better than they were last year,
and a great many of onr farmers
have, been more careful and pru
dent in their expenditures. These
are all evidences in this direotion.
A local correspondent writing to
an exchange touching this matter,
says:
We have as much confidence in
the future of the south as we ever
had, aud are Bure that the future
is bright in our section. It la true
that the stringency of money has
retarded business some, but that
has worked to the best advantage
for all. Onr farmers are in better
fix, and will be able to meet tbeir
obligations. Merchants and h«nir_
ers have all dealt very cautiously
for the past twelve months, and
with it all, our opinion is that all
are on a better basis than they
were twelve months ago. Capital
here can do as well as anywhere,
and there*are investments that can
be made on a sound basis and per
fectly safe. The farmers all say
that they have made nearly enough
of corn, hay and peas to last them
through the next year, and the low
price of cotton has taught them a
lesson, and all say that they will
not plant more than half the cot
ton next year. A large portion of
our farmers are able to hold half
of their cotton crop, saying half
will settle all their obligations,and
leave them with their corn and
hay and half of their cotton on
hand.”

It is not infrequently the case
that itching pimples and irritating
“cat boils” are the forernnners of
larger boils, or the more serions
carbuncles. Invariably Nature
puts out her danger signals, and
they should be heeded atonca The
pimples and little boils show that
the blood is not in a good condi
tion aud nature is trying to relieve
the system, A few doses of Swift’s
Specific at this juncture will ac
complish wonders. The eruption
will be healed and the system
cleansed of its impurities. The
modem paraphrase of the old say
ing, “A stich in time,” eta, is that
“Timely stitches will save nine
pairs of breeches.” The modem
form has a touch of humor that
does not modify the truth of it. In
