"I wonder where Daddr Jack la,” «»ld the
little boy, one night elter he had been wait
ing foreome time for Uncle Hem in to get
leisure to tell him a etory.
Uncle Remui, who waa delightfully human
In hla hypocrliy, a« well aa in other direc
tions, leaned back In bia chair, looked at the
little boy with an air of grieved resignation,
and said:
•*I boon’ you does, honey, I boun’ you
deee. Ole Brer Jack look mighty nearly ter
de naked eye, but I lay he's a lot mo' likelier
nigger dan w’at ole Kemua is. De time done
gone by w'en a po' ole no-'count nigger lak

The child stared

ed llam-le goes inter a bole in deaan .
"And then," aaid the little boy, aa Uncle
Remus paused, "along came Brother Buzzard,
and Brother Fox set him to watch the hole,
and Brother Babbit said he bad found a fat
ruulrrel which he would run out on the
other aide; and then he came out and ran
horns.'*
This was the climax of a story that Uncle
Remus bad told a long time before, and he
looked at bis little partner with astonishment
not nnmlxed with admiration.
"I 'clar 1 ter gracious, honey!" he exclaim
ed, "e» yu bol’a on ter yo' pra'r's lak you does

But don't you try ter hoi' Brer Rabbit down

Indulging in many reminiscences called up
by Cousin Betsy's account of her school days,
and Mrs. Brantley listened with various in'
terjections of delight and interest. It waa

From the Charleston News aod Courier.
How can any one expect to describe with moder
ate words and la a few asatenoee tbe wonderful
growth aud astonishing vitality ot the oily ot At-
lanu: It Is a city that no oao can appreciate who
has not seen It; a city which It Is not easy to un-
dertmnd when IthiJ bee a seen. There ii every
when the mark ot life, activity, energy and, above
at], of hope. What.matters It that the streets
should be blsckod up, when the obstruction Is
caused by ths erection of a stately t uildtug oo the
tile of en insignificant shop, or tnmble down
shanty? Ko where la the country faded, can
more handsome .bal'dIngi be found than are scab
tered over the city of AUsnta. Everywhere there
are evidences of originality, and of lb* determina
tion of etcu one to separate himself from others tu
the style of his bulldiog. while ba Is aolted with
,00",and will probably cost a round million,
nut the most ttriklna and srtlatla edifice ln the
dry Is iha new oulldlng of Tax Atlanta Consti
tution, which will be completed In June. It Is a
tlx s'ory bntldtog ot red brick and granite, and Is
so designed — Ur bo both piemrmiue and tmpos-
tog tu aptesranco, without saertflomf, or even dl-
mtunblag la availability tor builueai purposes.
It will bo lire proof, light- d throughout

of Tin Constitution buildlug, with lUtqnlpmcut,
will he at least f100,000.
Wbyisallthlst Atlanta is especially favored,
oo doubt, lo being tbe center of a great railroad
system- 1* la tbe hub of a vast railroad wheel. It
Is a commercial octopus, grasping the buslueta of
hundreds of miles of surrouudlug territory. Ilia
la the south wbst Chicago is la the aurthvrest, and
has aptly been called the “Chicago
of the s*uth.” But the podtlou (of Atlanta,
aa regards the railroads U not enough
to accouut for lit aplendid growth. It ml|ht ha* o
had all the rslliosat th *t U now has, and ye* have
dragged along. The prime reason of its rapid de-
uj e trho live there ballet e
i, have conflf
have no
hritv *h»n w( , MW
or the Iniquity of tho
republican party. Having M*h in It the residents
of Atlanta put their mooey lu city improvements
In every direction. To them there is uo better
security anywhere than ’’Atlanta dirt ” Besides
this ther are willing to work together for the good
of the city* By co-operation they accomplish
things which appear to bo wholly be
yotm thrir means; things which are beyond the
means of the few, butwnlch are uell witnlu ho
power of the manv. It is Mid that tbe capital
stock of the uew Kimball house is made up almost
entirely by small aubteriptfon*. The laig<«t sub-
script Ion is fiftOo.and the bulk of the money is
contributed in sums of from 9200 to SKO When
ever anything is proposed that is for the lm*
enterprise that Mr A has uo special interest 11.
but Mr A. knows that when there la a project lu
which be does take an interest he will receive from
others such support as he has glveu to them, bo
there is a bic family of tnoughtful, active, vigor
ous men In Atlanta, each member ot the family
flghilng for himself, theugh Ihu Lmily run tins a
null as agiiuat outrider*, and In favor of wnatever
promises fo help and strengthen tbe city.
o a a. — —* "* sy of Atlaul
l visit to It should be
every southerner proud of tbo
wonderful re*uIts which bavo been accomplished,
In m abori a time, by euergy. c-imhlnaitou, aud
above all by uuuyirg faith lu tbe future of the city.

"lvanhoo."—Thl« is the noblest of the Waverly novcK It is dramatic, stirring, histori
cal, and deals with tha crusades of the Knights of Europe for the love of Christ against
Saladin and his followers. It is a pageant of heroic battles, sieges and tournaments.
Oliver Twist—The neatest work of Dickens—full of humor and the pathos of tha1
matchless writer. Mother* and father* the world over have wept over the story of little
Oliver. This book ia a revelation.
Swiss Family Robinson.—The adventures of a Swim clergyman end his family
wrecked on a desert island. Ths book ranks with Robinson Orttsoe, and shows whM
heroism and patience cen do. Ths description of the home in the giant tree and the
adventures with strange animal, is incomparable.
Child ron Of tho Abbey,—Next to Robinson Crusoe and one or two other book)
mors copies of this pure, pathatio aud noble atory have been sold than of any ethaf
book printed.
Last Of tho Mohicans.—Of ell the Indian books, none equal this in Intense interest
and beauty. The marvellous skill and prowess of Hawkeye, tbe woodcraft of the Indi
ans, the desperate fights in tho forest,—the lofty beauty of the whole book is wsrthy <4
Cooper and tbe Leather Stocking Tales ot which it is first and best.
Robinson Crusoe.—Of this great book it is useless to speak. It fa ths elaasls of thq
world. The min, woman or child who fails to read it misses the rarest ol treats. -
20,000 Leagues Under tho Soa.—The sensation crested by this greatest o|

boat in wbith he lived under the ocean. His journeys under the ess, his conflicts witb

It should ba on the table oi evory Christian home.
Tho Scottish Chiefs.—The strugglesoIBrnoe end Wellies and their bravo eompsti.

A WORD IN CLOSING
Now one word iu closing to our readers.
Every father want* to give his children the best advantage* possible to his circumstance*.
Nothing improves young people so much aa judicious reading. Nuthing ia pleasanter tor
middle life or old age than the reading of interesting books. Thera i, no amusement purer
and more ennobling than to have the lather or mother or one of the tons or daughters read o
chapter each night or two or three nigb.ts in the week, in the family.
It is the earnest desire of the CoDstitiftion to give its readers ell the reading they want at
lower prices than it oan be had elsewhere and this we intend to do. We have bought 10,009
copies of there book* at one order. We get them cheaper by taking this number et once and
paying cash than any book 'tore can get them. The regular price, ts yon will aee on thq
covers i» $1-00 in New York—to which poetage is added. We sell them to yon et cost price,
adding simply the poetage end cost of handling. You cannot bny them anywhere for lea*
han $l.ln delivered, and usually $1.40. They are printed on clear, big, new type end con b*
read by old or young; and bound stoutly in black and gold eiotfa ao that they will last *
Now you can aflord (o gratify yourself and your family by buying at iekat one of thee*
books. Seventy cents is but little for such e book. If you ore in e club, persuade other
member* of the club to bay other books. You can then lend to each other end thns have *
good library for each neighborhood. Each book is a masterpiece and filled with pure senti-
■nent and tbrlling interest. They will ennoble tbe minds of children, Interest end instruct
them—give the keenest pleasure to each mcmKer of yonr family, and make your home*
happier aud brighter.
