A CORRECTION
Mr- Editor—You spoke last week of
the small attendance at the funeral of
one of our best Christian membets of
the Methodist Church. In extenuat’on of
which, I feel it my duty to give the fol
lowing reasons for the honor of our
Church.
First, the pastor was not at home.
Second, by some neglect, the bell was
not tolled, and but few, therefore, knew
the.time of burial.
Third, in consequence efthe extreme
hot weather, decomposition had so far
advanced that great despatch was nocec
sary.
Th se reasons will. I believe, ex¬
onerate us from any mean neglect of the
much loved Christian sister *!n our last
, u leS . 0 , ie ‘‘ Mexuodist.
The above “correction” don’t correct.,
80 far as the P astor ls c ° ncern * d he ls j
^leased. Iu the s-c -nd reason wh " e
odist church does contain ma.v good and
noble ohriftains, is guilty. It ought not ;
to have been “neglected.” Tne church
knew she was dead; knew when she was!
to be interred and it was somebody 's ;
dirt!/to toll t he bell. j

TWO VOICES.
We sit in (he garden.
The last pale tays of fhe summer sun
are tinging with a fashionable Ime the
withering leaves of the old Fnglish peach
lree that forms a canopy o’er our head
A gentle zephyr fans our brow, plays wkh
our silver locks and softly rubs the tip of
our auburn nose.
What’s that!
A delicious odor softly touches the
sense of smell; a soo'hing influence steals
o’er our brain and we realize that we are
in the home of the silver skin.
What’s that !
A gentle voice is creeping into our ear!
It is the voice of the cuke I
He !s talking to Ihe silver skin.
“ What’s thy future ?” we hear him
ask, and tiie sweetscented reply is waft¬
ed back upon the gentle breeze, “ I am

belle.
The belle went to church about a week
after my mother’s demise and soenl her
last remains out thiough the audience,
It was an effecting scene.
Several ladies fainted, and every time
maiden bieathed a victim dropped.
She kissed her beau good by that night
and as her hot breath moved through
his delicate mustache he pressed her to
his breast and whispered ‘my own dear
silver skin. ’
They married. My mother made the
match.
My father is dead.
During the great w ar on dogs in Atlan
ta he was sold to a butcher of that city
and disappeared with the noble howlers
through the sausage mill.
My brother perished in Africa
He was carried there by’a missionary.
The missionary fell into the hands of
savages.
My brother was used as a flavoring for
for a missionary stew'.
My sister was considered a murderess,
bhe weighed to pounds.
She fell into the hands of a McDon¬
ough b*dle.
Inguns, especially silver skins, don’t
grow to large for their emporiums.
The belle was a determined girl and
said, “ I will eat you or bust !”
She busted.
What will be my record and fate I
know not. I am longing to go out in
the world, to be in actual use. I care
not to what land I go.
1 care not how' I am served or into
what I am made just so I am never get
into Atlanta boarding'house hash.
That would oe a humiliation ; a stain
upon the family record I could not bear.’
The voice was hushed and thus spake the
cuke:
“I, too, have a family and a family
record, but I will not give it.
I propose to make a record of my own.
I long to get free from this frail vine
ami down to actual work.
When I get out in the world L will
have thousands of friends.
The physician is the friend of the
cuke, even as the cuke is the hope of the
physician.
I am the “ trucu ’’ for the doctor.
I am the truck that converts the sweet
infant mo a howling half-moon.
Iam the tinea that pins the upper
limbs of the old man to the pit of his
stomach, and throws the old lady to (he
floor with the gripe of death.
I am the truck that leads the fair
maiden into the valley of the shadow of
death and leaves her with the physician
