Now I I.ay Me Down to Sleep.
The fire upon the hearth is low.
And there is stillness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits, hero and there
The firelight shadows fluttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly front a, farther room
Comes; "Now I lay me down to sleep."
Ami, somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And lingers with a dear one there;
And, as I Mr the child's amen,
My mother's faith comes back to me.
Crouched at her side I seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
O! for an hour in that dear place!
O! for the peace of that dear time!
O! for that childish' trust sublime!
O! for a glimpse of mother’s lace!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
I do not seem to be alom —
Sweet magic of that treble tone —
And "now I lay me down to sleep."
—Eugene Field in Chicago News.
Cure for Mriiiklex.
There are very many women who are
greatly interested in the removing of any
defect that mars their physical beauty. Lt
it not only human nature to want t > look
well, but it is simply the duty of people to
make themselves pleasing in appearance,
if there is not too much time and thought
given to it.
When you read ot this and that recipe for
removing freckles, wrinkles and beiiutify’ng
the complexion it is well to be careTil how
they are tried; often these remedies prove
more injurious than effectual.
For the past ten years there have been
specialists who professed to be aide to re
move wrinkles—some use lotions, others
massage treatment and others believe they
can be steamed away, but of late there is a
woman located in the shoppim. district of
New York city who is making
quite a sensation among those
who are afflicted with wrinkles. Solomon
would have to acknowledge there was
“something new under the sun," cou'd he
step into the parlor of this specialist. There
he would see an old lady, eighty rears old.
who had given herself to lhe cause of
science. She is called “grandma,” and she
has had the wrinkles removed from one
side of the face, which looks in color
healthy and appears as a woman of forty,
while the other is yellow and shriveled,
and looks all of eighty.

“Grandma Handcock,” with Her Wrinkles
Gone.
Rut when I tell you the method of re
moving these wrinkles you will wonder
that the vanity of any woman, or science,
or anything else, could support lo r under
the operation. First, the op ration is very
expensive, and intensely painful. The face
is burned with a surface current of elec
tricity. Tite subject lakes hold of the
negative pole of the electric battery, while
on the positive pole a sponge is attached,
dipped in water and then passed over the
face by the operator, which burns off the
surface of the skin intensely. Then an ad
hesive plaster is placed over the face in
small strips. This is allowed to remain on
twenty-four hours, then rem >ved, the face
cl-ansed and another plaster (the making
of which is a secret to the operator) is put
all over the face, which does not come off
for six or eight days. It comes off itself,
with strips of the skin clinging to it. There
is excessive suffering during all this period,
the face swelling and burning; ami, after
the second plater comes off, the texture
of the skin is raw. In about a month the
face heals, and th- complex! >n is bleached.
This is the treatment for an ordinary
case of wrinkles, where the lines are very
deep, such as is -on. Mimes seen around
the mouth and eyes. A second treatment
is necessary in cases of smallpox or birth
marks; from two to four treatments are
required, never more than live.
Now, when you think of this almost bar
barous method of “sizzling" off the skin,
and remember that it does not promise,
exemption for all time, for in time the
wrinkles will return, does it not seem
strange any human being eould*consent to
go through with such suffering for the
sake of looks, and yet there are many
who submit to it.
It is well to take care of the appear
ance. but when it comes to enduring such
physital suffering for the sake of appear
ance, it does not seem the thing to do, and
yet it is interesting to keep up with what
science is doing for the human race, hence
I have given you the last treatment discov
ered for removing wrinkles.

of either of the above gentlemen. Stamps re
turned.
Mrs. Hr. J. M. Palmer, Oconee, Ga.—l would say
to the sisters, and to all others who have doubts
on the subject of future recognition, to get a book
entitled “The Home Beyond,” by Bishop Fallows,
containing the views of four hundred of the best
thinkers and writers of the different ages on that
subject.
<it couurse all the knwledge we have on that
subject is obtained from tho Bitde. Christians
ought not to have any doubt on the subject. But
I suppose it is natural while in the flesh, and only
seeing through a glass darkly, and in the small
ness of our faith doubts come in. It is very help
ful to have the views of so many different emi
nent persons on that important subject.
Mrs. Mollie Tucker, Williston, Tenn.—l am
greatly interested in the discussion •■Shall we
know each other there?” 1 believe with all my
heart that we shall.
Why, the fact that wo shall change doesnot
even seem strange to me when 1 see srt many
changes even dow n here, both in body and mind.
1 believe our bodies will be different from what
they are now, but what does it matter? After all,
it is only the spiritual part of our friends that we
really love, for should the dearest friend that we
have become mean and base and the body remain
the same our l. ve would soon die out, but should
some calamity change this same friend s body
from beauty to ugliness without, changing the
beautiful spirit, our love toward our friend would
grow stronger. How much more lovable will our
friends be when they have been changed from im
perfection both in body and in mind, for “there is
no death, what seems so is tran-ition.”
I believe it will be as easy in heaven to recognize
our friends in their changed state as it is to recog
nize our friends upon earth in different clothes.
C. J.—l read with much interest your depart
ment and the various questions discussed therein.
As to the question, shall we know each other in
lieaven? 1 think it is immaterial whether we do or
not, since it will be heaven, and our Heavenly
Father will give us all things that will make it
heaven to us.
I would like to know what tho Woman's King
dom thinks of the practice of riding' out for
pleasure on Sunday. It is very pleasant lam
sure, since I used to ride out myself, but I became
interested in the subject, of keeping the Sabbath
day. and began to examine myself and found there
were several ways in which I had been desecrat
ing God’s holy day.
Not long since one of my friends (who by the
way is a good church member) was speaking on
this subject and said : • Vet. we have always rid
den out a good deal on Sunday evening; it is the
only time one has to go, and he enjoys it so
much.”
Now, he question arises, lias he any right to use
the Sabbath for this purpose? There are so many
blessings promised to those who observe the Sab
bath, 1 think it is often ignorance of these prom
ises that lead otherwise good Christians to so dis
regard the Sabbath day. Custom, also, has a great
deal to do with it. One Sabbath-keeping family
in a neighborhood, has a wonderful influence lor
good. Do you not think that a foreigner visiting
this land, and knowing nothing of our religion or
our institutions, would soon conclude : “This peo
ple keeps the seventh day as a gala day?”
If it is right for us to go out for our own pleas
ure, surely it is right for our neighbor to do the
same, ami if we all go,-what else is it but a gala
day? The same rule may be applied to visiting
for pleasure.
Isaiah Iviii, 13 and 14, reads thus: “If thou turn
away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a
<ielight, t lie holy of the Lord. honorable ; and slialt
honor him, not doing thine own wavs, nor finding
thine own pleasure, not speaking thine own words ;
tlu-n slialt thou delight thyself in the Lord, and 1
will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the
earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob
thy father: For the mouth of the Lord hath spo
ken it.”
Mrs, S. M. Cade, Lupine, La. —Will some one of
you give a recipe for fig preserves; also drying.
Some ol you nor Jiern ladies please give direc
tions for apple nutter.
Mrs. C. A. Grisby, I for one, agree with you.
Housekeepers require recess oftener than any
other vocation in life. There is a monotony that
wearies ns, and though we dwell 111 palaces, sur
round <1 by all that is beautiful, we tire of looking
upon the same articles even. And oh, what a rest!
a treat it would he to spend a week or two at some
quiet springs, or some campmeetinir, such as
I’iv.nkett spoke of, where we could leave chickens,
a garden, sweeping and dusting lor awhile and
enjoy periect rest.
Here is your corn recipe: Take soft soap and
thicken it with pulverized chalk until it is suffi
ciently thick to form a plaster; apply to the corn
3 or 4 times a day and a cure will soon be effected.
To destroy mines: I’ut calomel 111 sweet biscuit
and drop in theii runs.
Persimmon leaves or bushes scattered in lien
house will keep mites off.
India berries are a periect exterminater of lice
on stock. Mash and soak 111 whisky 24 hours, or
in water 3C>. and one application will be sufficient.
Mrs. C. Benerly : Gather seed early and put
in thin sacks, or bags, ami hang in an open place,
and wevels will not get in them. I hang mine on
a back galcry.
Thanks lor the molasses custard.
1 will give my recipe of watermelon rind pre

It is not affectation with me when I say that I
am much m love witn Aunt Susie, the sisters and
The Constitution.
Mrs. J. A. Smith, Noah, Ga.—Mrs, Wells, of
Texas, has aked for a recipe, or recipes, lor using
the peach melon. I used them last year and will
give mv method. 1 bad no particular recipe, but
used my judgment. The melon when ripe looks
very nmeli like an orange. I peel them, t ike out
the seed, and then cut the melon up into qu il ters
or eighths, and drop into boiling syrup made of
sugar ami water, let cook until done and you have
a delicious preserve, almost exactly like fig pre
serves. I also made nice pies, stewing and sweet
ening them exactly like peaches. Flavor with
mil meg or anything one likes, ’ihey have no fla
vor as a peach or an apple, hence the necessity of
nutmeg, lemon or vanilla.
I wa» delighted with tiie little melons and saved
a lot of seed They are a rinlit good substitute lor
fruit, and this year 1 have planted a good many oi
them I semi ab w seed for Aunt Susie. Treat
them exa< tlv like cantaloupes. II any,of the sis
ters would like a few seed, I will exchange lor any
little thing that is useful, and a 1 cent stamp to
return the seed with.
Mrs. Laura Kennon, Dubberly, La.—l have read
The Constitution for years, and much pleasure
and help I have derived from its pages.
Hike many ot the good sisters, my heart lies
wounded and bleeding on the battlefield ol life.
1 no longer see my darling little baby Katie; sue
was just seven months old when she died; weighed
six pounds and measured nineteen inches, a gain
of three pounds and three inches, being sueb a
periect little doll-baby and all loved her more
dearly. M e know she is happier in heaven than
she ever could have been here, and if weaiel iilli
ful we shall again see our dear departed.
Nothing but time by the grace of God can lielji
to heal a wound like the cruel reaper death leaves
when he conies to snatch a loved one.
1 am sorry the Louisiana sister does not believe
in heavenly recognition. M onder if she ever lost
a loved one? If she lias, sad indeed she must be
to t hink she will never see those dear eyes shining
again.
• M e are all alike in Christ.” Are not all true

Loving each other with sweet brotherly and sis

whom by the ties ol nature are made dearer, but
of course loving Jesus above all, who loves it.) so,
and has done so much for us? It is through his
tender mercy and love we have the sweet hope of
tnat happy heavenly home with loved ones who
have gone before.
Are there any ol our great noble-minded men
.vhailo not bob vo th.it we st,all even Know each
other there, where we can see more clearly.
One has said : Three great wonders ot heaven
will be to miss people whom he expected to see,
and to see sonu whom be did not expect to find
there; and the third and greatest would be to find
himself there.
From this would the question not arise: How
could we be happy if some loved one was missing?
But is it. better to leave all mysteries with God
who we know has prepared all things lor our eter
nal bliss.
1 believe, and do not want; to believe any other
way, but we shall know our owli; without this
belief this life would be gloomy and heaven lose
all of its sweetness.
“ Angel voices and angel faces bright,
That shall welcome us in heaven

And to them ’ tis kindly given.
Thus their earthly friends to know,
Harp strings touched by angel fingers,
Murmur in my raptured ear,

We shall know each other there,”
Do Thusly Yourself.

-A. S. ETHRIDGE,
ARP ON OLD TIMES,
ZIZLL HAS ANOTHER REMINISCENT
MOOR ANR TELLS STORIES.
Everything Depends on the Last Speech with
the Lawyers—lt wan the Conclusion
that Won Him His Great Case.
The other day I asked an Atlanta man
who he was so or Livingston—for
congressman from the fifth district. He
looked very serious and replied; "I get
The Atlanta Constitution before oreakfast,
and from that time until 3 o’clock p. in. I
am for Livingston. Then The Journal
comes into my office, and I am .1 Candler
man until next morning. I am like the av
erage juryman who takes his cue from the
last speech.”
I have thought for a long time that the
last speech ought to be abobsned, but I
don’t know how it is to be done, unless we
abolish the jury and let the speeches te
made to the court. Then ’.he speeches
would be short, and to the point, and it
wouldent make any difference who spoke
last. Hail Columbia wouldent. pay before
the court, especially if the court consisted
of three members. The last speeen is a tre
mendous power in the keeping ol: an artful,
eloquent advocate. I have heard Judge
Wright, of Rome, in many important cases,
and his closing speech nearly always se
cured him a verdict. It was more powerful
than the evidence or the charge of the
court. I remember when he sued the Home
railroad for $25,000 for causing an injury to
Colonel Jim Waddell’s spine. We thought
that just a lawyer’s trick of claiming about
ten times what he expected to recover, but
just before the argument began he had ihe
amazing cheek to ask leave to amend his
writ and raise the damages to $50,000. The
lawyers all smiled, and so did the presiding
judge. But he had the last speech and got
a verdict of $35,000.
A most amusing case of “last speech”
occurred when I was quite a young lawyer
at the Rome bar. Jim Perkins was the
magistrate. We had elected Jim just for
fun, and he gave it to us. He knew no
more law than necessity and it is said that
necessity knows none, but he was big
hearted and full of humor and everybody
liked him. He is the same Jim Perkins
who was shot at Gaines’s mill. It was an
umbilical center shot, and the ball came
out at his spine. Dr. Battey, the faint us
surgeon, was the surgeJii of the rex'inent.
After examining Jim. tie s.tid: “?Jy poor
fellow, you are mortally wounded, if you
have any messages to send home y <u had
better tell them to me at i.n?e. It you
have any will t > make, make it verbally.”
Jim smded and said: 'l’ve got nothing to
will, doctor, but is there no chance for me
at all?’ “About one in a tnousaiid. ’ said
the doctor. "Well, if I have that many I
will get well,” said Jim, and he smiled
again. Then his ruling passion, like Tom
Hood, provoked him to'cdd: "Doctcr—doc
tor, if I should accidentally get ever ti is
wouldent it be a great naval victory?”
And iie did get over it, and was back on
duty within sixty days.
At the first court that he held in Rome
I was employed by the plaintiff in a case,
and Tom Alexander was on the other side.
We were both young lawyers and were
generally pitted against each other. We
begun that way in old Lawrenceville, and
when we moved to Rome we kept it up. 1
understand that he is now a candidate for
judge, and I don't blame him for wanting
an easy position at ills time of life. 1 would
like one myself. But Rome is not in our
circuit and the boys must light it. out. Well,
when my case was called 1 proceeded to
argue it, and just as soon as I concluded
Perkins took his pen and said; "The court,
gives judgment for the plaintiff.”
“Hold on,” said Tom; "hold on, if you
please. I havent been heard on my side.”
"Beg pardon,” said Jim; “I heartily beg
your pardon. Brother Alexander; you can
proceed, sir.”
Tom cleaned me up in about ten mln
ures. Perkins seized his pen again and
said: "J'i gmeiii for the defendant.”
"Hold on again," said I. “If your honor
please, J am entitled to the conclusion.”
Beg pardon, major; beg a thousand par
dons. I forgot the wiles of court. Yes you
are entitled to the conclusion.”
In about five minutes I tore Tom all to

me and Tom pay the cost. But otn 1 -xt
case was a big one. Old Wyly 1
drawn a wild lot of land up m the
tains and had never seen it. One
stranger called on him and bought, it io
s!(■ and Wyly made him a deed. 1
cay another stranger came to see him <.nl
v.anted to buy it. Wyly dident tell In,m
he had sold it, but asked hmi vtnat 1 _
would give and the feller mane nm_ a
ester of titty dollars. W yiy couldn t stand
the temptation and sold it to him
made him a deed. Not long afterwards the
11 st man came back there and employed
Torn Alevander to tear old V. ylj -n
pieces for swindling an 1 making two deeds
for the same lot. Tom got out •■iicugh■ ‘
rants to send the pld man to the pen.ten
tiary the rest of his life. He was teiiiiJiy
alarmed when the law was told to him.
He eturned the man the lin y ‘ lO I?,
aud gave him sixteen notes for thirty dol
lars each, and one for twenty
making in all nve hundred dollars, to keep
from being piosecuted aud
penitentiary. The old man was abundantly
good, but wanted three months time 0.1
the notes. Before they came Jue he h.U
got over his big scare and . < ' an
to see me about his trouble and said be
would give me a. hundred hollars to clear
him of the notes. I dident know how it was
to be done, for I had always heard that it
was mighty hard to swear oft a promissory
note, but I consulted an old lawyer and he
j>ut me on the right track. So when old
Wvly refused to pay them Tom suea him
in justice’s court, and 1 plead that the notes
were given to compromise a criminal pros
ecution and were void, and 1 produced the
law and gained the cas< , and then old Wyly
threatened to prosecute the iciiov, foi com
pounding felony and scaring him into fix
ing the' notes, and the fellow ran away
I bat night and never paid his tavern hill
nor Tom his fee. That is the worst trick 1
ever played on Tom. Hut he paid me back
now and then, and I reckon we are about
even. Young lawyers used to have lots of
fun in justice court, anil it was a good
nursery to raise judges in. Nearly every
voting lawyer in old Jjawrencevdle got to be
a circuit judge. There was Judge Hutchins,
Sr., and ’his son, the present judge, and
Judge Alexander, Tom's older brother, and
two " Judge Wrights—Gib and Bill and
Judge George Lester and Judge Maltbie.
There are three young Atlanta lawyers
on a frolic at our house now, but I don’t
hear them retailing any justice court anec
dotes. Maybe it. is because they ar- too

came hungry and I’m afraid will go awaj
so. They have got an idea that it pleases
my wife and the girls for them to eat heart
ily and it does. A generous hostess, who
prides herself on her table, thinks more of
her guests if they eat up everything in
sight. .But I still get the chicken necks,
thank goodness. One of these young men
told a pretty girl that he fclayed tennis
every morning from 5 o’clock till 7 and she
said she should like .4o much to play with
him at 5 o’clock. So he promised to go after
her next m< rhing. Ho rose about daylight,
but dident know where she lived and
wasent certain what her name was, and
he wandered all round the suburbs and in
quired of every darky he met, but dident
find her. Murmuring, he said:
Come, haste, Orlando—carve on every tree,
The fair, the chaste, the unexpected she.”
Fortunately it. began to rain and that let
him out of the dilemma and he came back
a. wiser and a wetter man. They attended
a church party last night and one of them
fascinait ed with'a black-eyed beauty
that he told her her eyes reminded him of
twin stars in the bright galaxy of heaven.

The Little Room.
This is the little room where she
Walked beautiful for love and me:
Here, on ihe windowsill, her flowers
Woo all the winds in hours;
And sweetly breathe, when breezes stir,
Os the dear, lovely face of her!
This is the little room -so lone!
My soul, into the silence grown.
Starts at each leaf that taps the Tanee
Low-listening for her step again!
How creaks the stairway and the gate!
Vhy lingereth 'my love so late?
Here, on the little fireplace mat,
Lie two blown ribbons from her hat;
And there—a messenger of love —
A tinted, tapi red, sc mted glove!
What tender memories cluster o'er it!
For I have kissed the hand that wore it.
From dawn, until the shadows fall,
1 dream before the lonely wall
Where hangs her picture, ami I yearn
To kiss the golden curls that ourn
Above her womanly, sweet briw:
Would she could come and kiss me now!
All things speak of her—all the place
Hath a remembrance of her face;
The last flower that she wore—th« last
Dim pathway where her footstep passed;
The morning-glories near the door.
Seem whispering: “Will she come nt
more?”
This is the little room where she
Walked beautiful for love and me.
But oh! the utter Ijneline-s.
The flowers that miss her sw-t caress!
only the night-wind creaks thecate.
Why lingereth 'staNTON.
