'The question 6flaBor cannot fail to be
a very serious one at the North, if the
war goes on much longerg That country

men from the business of production
The drain is still going on, and, "a half
million more must be addedin. another

class from which enlistments for the army
are made. AT the South the heavy labor
of the country goes on in spite of the drain
of young white men for the war; That
labor was 1always sufficient to provide
ibreadsan meatfor the population, besides
performing much of the work of clothing,
sheltering, and otherwise providing for
the spenple. Except in districts overrun
by the enemy, this labor, system is still
intact and organized, iperformingg an Its
usual Offices for society. But the North
possesses no such system, The war makes

Mrs Tompkins' parlors were in apple

while the kitchen is stinted to the very

She was flying about, shaking out chair
covers, and arranging the little china or
nameuts on the mantel, was Mrs. Iomp-
kins, in a manner that betokened con-
siderable amount of inward disturbances.
There was jerk to her elbow and toss
of her head, which foreboded woe to some
body or other.

as if uncertain how her offer might chance

NUMBER 2l.
Gel. $. s. Fry.

The name of Colonel Fry, commander
Of the Fourth Kentucky Regiment in the
battle of Logan's Cross Roads, who is
believed to have shot Zollicofer, has be-
come already "household word" with
loyal Kentuckians.
Colonel Speed Smith Fry is now about
IL years old, having been born in 1918
and man of amiable disposition. He
is the grandson of old Joshua Fry, of
Dannville, who has been dead about
twenty six years, and the son of Thomas
Fry, also Of Danville. When the pres
ent Colonel was about sixteen years old,
his father moved to Charlottesville, Indi-
ana. After his fathers death Speed Smith
Fry returned to his native town, where he
remained till the beginning Of the Mexican
war.
During that war, he was captain in the
regiment commanded by Colonel M'Kee,
and distinguished himself on the battle
field Of Buena Vista. 1t is well known to
many that he killed his man in that mem
orable battle. The circumstances we re-
produce here. A Mexican detached from
his comrades, was seen to fire, with great
deliberation, three or four times at Cap

ket from a fallen soldier, and fred and
the Mexican was never seen again. 1t is
useless to tell how that regiment came off
the field covered with glory. In that
bloody battle Colonel MKee was killed,
and if we mistake not, the lieutenant col
onel also Major Carry Fry, cousin of
Speed Smith, taking command of the
regiment. This incident in Mexico, and
the death of Zollcofer, prove Colonel
Fry to be man of GOODNESS decision and
unflinching bravery.
After his return from Mexico, at the
end of the war, he applied himself again
to his profession, the law, in which he was
eminently successful. At the breaking
out of the rebellion, he was judge of the
county court of Boyle county, and while
many others were fearful of opening their
mouths against secession, he boldly at
tackled the rebellion on the stump and
elsewhere. He was the first to move in
raising troops in Kentucky, and camping
at Dick Robinson, recruited successfully
two regiments, the third and Fourth

had heard the accents of love and kind
ness, and now to be the chosen bride OF
one to whom the world looked in admira-
tion-ah, it seemed too much happiness
"Rememoer, l shall not wait long" he
added, caressingly smoothing down the
jetty tresses. '.The sooner [ take you
away from this vulgar and uncongenial
atmosphere, the better ~
"Vulgar and uncongenial !" gasped
Mrs. Tompkins, who was listening at the
keyhole "Well, [ never" !"
"Mary, DEAR" she said that evening,
II shall be very sorry to lose you. You
have always been just been like my own
child, haven't you? Come and kiss me,
there's love-and be sure you don't for

are married to Colonel Redcliffe T! Hetty,
come here and congratulate your dear sis
ter! l wouldn't have given you up to
anybody else, but Colonel Redcliffe is a
man that deserves you."
Mary smiled quietly-she was of too
gentle and forgiving nature to resent even
the hypocracy Of her mother-in-law-and
in the bright future, opening before her,
she had forgiveness for all.
"Harry's wife is going to be married" 3"
said Mrs. Tompkins to one of her gossips,
soon after.
''What, that lazy, indolent, good-for-
nothing"
'Hush-sh-sh :" cried the old lady, clap
ping her hand over Mrs. Sykes mouth.
THAT was all mistake. She's dear,
sweet love :"

s.Ridin, on a Railroad Keer.,

A most veracious chronlcler relates, in
the following fashion, the experience of
young lady from the rural districts, who
lately visited the city, accompanied by
her peculiar swain, and took an appreci-
ative view of the elephant.
Getting into one of the city cars for
ride, the maiden took a seat, while the
lover planted himself on the platform
The graceful Vehicle had sped but few
short blocks, when the benifcen,ly young
conductor insinuated himself into the pop
ular chariot for TIE purpose of collecting
the expenses. Approaching the rusti C
maiden, he said affably.
"Your fare, miss"
The rosebud allowed a delicate pink to
manifest itself on her cheeks, and looked
down in soft confusion. The Justly pop
ular conductor was rather astonished at
this, and ventured to the remark once
more:
Your fare, miss"
This time the pink deepened to carna-
ton, and the maiden fingered her parasol
with pretty coquettishness. The conduc-
tor really didn't know what to make of
this sort of thing, and began to look
little foolish but as small boy at the
other end of the car began to show signs
of disposition to leave without paying
for his ride, the official managed to say
once more
"Hem miss, your fare"
In a moment those lovely violet eyes
were looking up into his face through an
aurora of bushes, and the rosy lips ex-
claimed:
"Well, they do say I'm good looking
at hum but don't see what you want
to say it out SO loud -
1t was not peal of thunder that shook
the car just then. Oh, no. 1t was some
thing that commenced in a general litter,
and eliminated in such shattering guf-
flw as stentorian lungs alone are capable
of. In the midst of the caohinatory tenn
pest, the "lovyer" came to the rescue of
his Doxiana, and, when the ''pint Of the
hall thing was explained to him, his
mouth expanded to proportions that might
have made Barnum's hippopotamus die of
jealousy on the spot. The pair descended
from the car amid a salvo of mirth, and
when last seen were purchasing artificial
sweetmeats at candy shop.

DiPtheria.

The diptheria has been unusually pre-
valeut this winter in the various districts
in Pennsylvania, and very many cases have
resulted fatally owing to inattention in
the early stages of the disease. Some
very good advice is given regarding its
early symptoms, and how, it should be
treated. The Philadelphia Ledger says:
1t generally begins in family among
the children, one of whom will be restless
and feverish for day, or with symptoms
not very unlike those which precede scar
let fever exhibiting strong constitutional
arrangement Then comes ona complaint
of soreness in the throat, followed by small
patches of white or sometimes yellowish
coating matter on the throat. The mo-
ment these appear no time should by lost
in sending for a medical man who has had
Experience and success in treating these
diseases, because there are in fact two
diseases to be treated at once. One is in
the throat, where there is local danger !;
but there is also another in the fluids of
the whole body, which is, after all, per-
haps the chief thing, though most out of
sight.
1t is well known that the best mode of
Treating scarlet lever, 1HedSieS duo S'S
typhoid fever, is to regard them as the
effects of some poisonous matter inhaled
through the lungs and carried perhaps,
as the oxygen gas is carried, through the
capillaries OF that organ into the circula-
ting system. In scarlet fever and measles
the best treatment has therefore been
found not to bleed or reduce the system,
but rather to stimulate it SO as to aid it to
throw off to the surface the poison which
in those cases blossoms out on the skin and
dies there. The same sort of general
treatment is found most usefu. In diptheria.
If a child has an ordinary attack of sick
ness, or sore throat, little abstinence or
opening medicine will greatly reduce it.
But in disease Of this kind, on the con-
trary, generous diet and a gently stimu-
lating treatment seems to strengthen ma
ture to throw off the disease. Whether
diptheria is contagious or not has been
doubted In all probability it is not
But it may and does become epidemic in
the atmosphere. Whenever there is ex-
posure to it, fresh, pure air is one of the
best preventives and even medicines both
for the individual patient and for the pre-
vention of the spread of the disease. a
room we'll aired and lighted and warmed
so freely as to allow of a constant change
without draft, or any extreme hea. or
cold, will of itself do much in the way of
medicine. But there is no time to be lost
in the commencement Of active treatment
the moment the disease shows itself.
