My life ft like the trammer rrco
That-opens to the morning sky,
But, ere the ehadcs of evening close,
. la acattcrcd on the ground, to die I
Yet on the two’* humble bed
The sweetest dews of night ore shed,
-Arlfahe wept the waste to ice, —
' Bot none FhAll weep a tear for me 1
My life It like the autumn leaf
•That tremble* In the moon’s pale ray;
Ifa hold la frail, It* date la brief,
JUsttera, and soon to pas* away!
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fald,
The parent tree will mourn hs shade,
The wind bewail the leafless tree,—
But none shall breathe a sigh for me 1
My life it like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa'a desert strand;
Boon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet, as if grieving to cOkee
All vesllgeiof the human race,
' On that lone shore land moans the sea^-
. But none, alas 1 shall mourn for mfe

Bichard Henry Wlldo, a distinguished mem
her pf the southern bar, an accomplished
scholar and poet, was born in Ireland in 1789;
cayne to America with his father in his twelfth
year, Teraovcd to Georgia with his widowed
mother In 180.% where he prepared himself by
solitary exertions for admission to tlio legal
profession. He represented his district in
congress and filled the office of attorney
general for the state, llo died in 1847. His
■ poems ape held in high, estimation.
iiifia Mnloch says, ‘‘Men don’t know how to
save money.” The inference is, women do.
Womexvas ft role, aro more economical than
men; tho reason may be they hondlo so much
less money, and when they do it isusually as a
trust fond. ’ Bui even allowing that some wo
men .do understand economy, there aro a great
many that have hcver learned the first princi
ple in it.. ItU wry necessary that onr young
womenshonld bo oducated ou this suhject, for
it if, alas! sadly neglected. The extravagance
of the yotihg women of onr land has caused the
• growing disinclination to marriage among the
* y op nig men. They count np tho cost, and very
fio*r«bf them can afford to support a wife in tho
* ityj^tba^ they see the yonng todies adopt. A
man natnraliy looks for a helpmeet; not for a
giddy votary of fashion, who spends her whole
time in thinking of,dross; such a woman would
be a burden to o maxi ami cause hi3 onorglai to
grow lem and less. On the othcr.haud, a good,
economical, saving wife bos been the comfort
and support of many a man who would other
wise have always been poor. There never was
a truer maxim than “a penny saved is a penny
gained,” and tbero Is only ono way to.save the
pbnny and that is by a careful watohfolnes*
over all .the littlo affairs of the bousohold that
nothing may be wasted, tborc are so many ave
nues to guard; wives, sisters and daughters can
help so to lake tbe weight off the shoulders of
hard working men. Walk through any of our
public thoroughfares and you will meet num
bers of careworn looking men plodding along
looking as if their only thought was how to
“nuke both ends meet,” with their small sala
ries, and yet yoii may sco their wives handsome
ly dressed, bright and cheerful, with not a
thought for tho mauy hours of labor that has
Supplied the means of gratifying their extra*

loch’s advice, and l>egin early teaching out

‘ Thanksgiving Day—18M.
Another Thanksgiving Day has passed. Onq
year,ago today, (November 2tith, 1885) was ono
of unusual brightness; tho day was clear hut
cold; tho sun ahotie brightly and all nature
seemed iu accord with tho happy and thankful
hearts of our people. To somo there were sad
recollections, memories of the post, celebrations
of the day wlxeu all tho lovod ones.would gath
er In the old home that had forever passed into
"tho Kinds 6f strangers. Bach thoughts as tha*)
filled my beflrt and Jnexproaible aadnoM stole
•vex my spirits. Instead of a heart Ailed with
thanksgiving there was almost a murmur and a
feeling of discontent. To qnell these rebellious
thoughts I started for a walk, and before I was
aware of it, fomul myself before a church; tho
music attracted me and I went in; itaaoothing
attains sooh calmed my ruffled spirit and pre
pared uxc.fcr tho words of tbe man of God,
"Give thanks unto the Lord, for hoisgood; His
mercy endurcth forever.” Never shall I forget
the discoursoitbat followed. The minister was
“a strungpf tip a strange land,” and his allusion
to the old.homestead, where year by year - tho
children would coine from nfur to gather around
the festive hoard, nnd now all separated, and
many gpitt, Was bciotiful in tho extreme. His
acknowledgements tit God’s merefes. tbo
gentle mamitr in which our thoughts were led
. to view mercies, and tho many, ns^ous
why our heart*and souls should bo filled with
thjuikfulnt-Ai. -^OTc r shall 1 forget tho lesson
- learned,’imd I pug before the servise • was con-
* eluded.w'gs ready to exclaim with the Psalmist,
♦’ll Is good’ to givo thanks unto the Lord.” To-
day, NbvtfifcberSfdh, 1880, I have been learning
another , .lesson • in '.that little church;
Chat, “precious 'in the sight of tiie
Lord is the death of his saints.” for to
day we met to< fhy the last sad, silent
tribute of rcepcct-to the. wife of that dear pas

•d atdhe casket that contained th« remains of
one of the purest, !ovtlie.st Christian worara I
ever met,-1 wondered which lesson would be
wcstlaqijjig. the words of the living mfnlster.
er tke beautiful Hfc and example left me by the
aUent rieeper. Words may fade from msmory
bht'Christian acts and deeds live forever. Her
nenseecatcd life, filled with guod deeds, her soft
gentle voice that was hushed forever, yet teem
ed Mill to Unger fax my car, and her many acts

knew her. It is a pleasure to add onr testi
mony in accordance with the tribute so beauti
fully given by another. Colouc! Redding’s
aTpropriate atul beautiful tribute to G.wjia’s
retiring governor is incomplete without* refer
ence, in this department, to his most estimable
wife. It can be truly mid that the executive
reunion has never been graced by a more de
voted wife and tender mother. No particular
distinction or public honor bestowed apon her
worthy husband has ever changed the modest
demeanor and quiet, domestic habits of Mrs.
McDaniel, and her chicfcstjoy luu always boon
found in the congenial society of her husband,
•on and daughter. Tho allurements of fiuhion-
able life huvo never bad any charm for her,
and the goes back to the loved rural* aocneu of
Walton county, without any regrets, carrying
with her, unimpaired, the qualities of hood and
heart that hud previously inode her a model
wife and mother in that community. Her
noble example is one that the wives of many
ambitious public men might greatly profit by.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Fun fur the Children—The CountItutlonS
Training School for ltoya and Girls.
My Dear Children: It menu a tong time
alncc I have written to you, hut did you eve
hoar an old raying, ‘‘Couldn’t get in a word
edge.wire?” Well that is the reason I have not
written; bo nutny little letters to get lu, I felt it
was wrong to keep you out. So 1 mode room
for your letters hy staying out myself. Even now
there ore piles of letteta waiting for a nlvce,
but ns I thought my timo had come again I con
cluded to chat with you a littlo while. I am
sorry to have to tell somo of my children that
they are forgetting our rules. So many letters
have been coming written on both sides of tho
paper, theu when you don’t boo them in print
yon Idamc Aunt Susie, but you must remember
you have only yourself to blame. I ant not go
ing td write you a very long letter this week,
and I want to talk to yon about being obliging.
Do you know what that means? A great many
grown people don’t, for they don’t learn it
when children and grow up RelfisU and disa
greeable. Now if you will take your diction
ary and look for tho word “obliging,” you will
find tho definition in, “disposed to do fitvora;
civil; kind”. Now, children if you do not com
mence to practice this virtue while you-ato
yonng, you will never learn It. I expect somo
of you will wonder, “why is Annt Susie writ
ing to us on thia snl\jcc?” Well, I will tell
you. I had a visit from a lady today and wo
were talking about a littlo boy wo both laved
very dearly, (it was tho Indy’s grandson) and
were regretting some of his faults, among other
tbipgs*lhat he. was thoughtless and wllish, and
she then mentioned something that had occur
red a few days before. She said aho was writ
ing a letter and was in a great hurry to get it
off by tho evening mail, so ftlio asked hi:
graudson If he would run to tho store across
the street uud sco if ho could get her a stamp,
llo was busy reading,- and said, “Oh,
know they have none,” she said ,V 4 W*U, you
could go and tee, for they may havo.ilietn, 1
but ho sat still and mode tho sumo reply, “no
I know they liavo not,” and ho did not go,
now this grandmother was ono of tho vory
best, had waited on that hoy ever since he was
a baby, and oh, how many steps she had taken
for him, sho sakl slio could lint think of how
much sliq had done for him, aud ho refused to
do her oven a little favor. Now children this
that papa and mama did In their school days,
pick cotton every Saturday. Our papa ha? premised
us a big doll; have already get eight dolls; we
and make their clothe*; oh, how we would like
visit Aunt Suiie and show her our dolls. Now dear
cdttms, a word to you. Thank you for the little
i unitr you allow tue children. May your shadow*
never crow Kts nor your light never grow dim.
