The Shipping Lists estimate of the North
ern consumption is s21, 1924 bales. The fact
that the grand total Of the crop for the year
falls so far below what the shrewdest ope-
rstors in the staple had anticipated, is ac
counted for by the small production credit
ed to Tennessee, So, which is put down at
32l ,S91 bales, while other well informed
authorities had allowed from the same
source as high as 4OS, ,814 bales. Msssrs.

Amer fhe Funeral

OF all the returning, that one after
the funeral il the saddest. Who will
say it ID not 90, who has followed a
loved one to the grave7 While he was
sick he went In and out, anxious, sor-
rowing, suffering. The solicitude to re-
Llieve, and care for, and comfort him en-
crossed us; the apprehension of our own
dissolution, in case he should be remov-
ed from US, almost drove us wild.
While he lay dead under the home
roof. there was . hurry and hustle in
preparation for the funeral rites. Frien ds
are sent for, neighbors are present, the
funeral arrangements are discussed. the
mourning procured. the hospitalities of
the house provided for, all is excitement;
the loss is not yet perceived in all it's
greatness. fsea a sa hna
But after the funeral,'-after the bus
tie has subsidized aud things begin to
move on as usual then it is that we be-
gin to know what his befallen US. The
house seems still and sepulchral though
in the heart of the city; and though its
threshold be trodden by familiar feet, il
deserted! especially the roo m in which
he struggled and surrendered in the last
conflict There are his clothes. there
OOoRoS
there his ever vacant seat at the family
board. During his sickness we had not
so much noticed IT, ese things, for we
hoped ever that he might use or occupy
them again. But now we know it can
never be, and we perceive the dreadful
vacuity everywhere
Oh how cheerless the night shadows
come down after the funeral No moon
or stars ever shone 80 dimly; no dark.
ness seemed so utterly dark. The tick
ings Of the clock resounded like bell
! strokes all over the house. No foot
step is now on the stairs or overh cad in
the sick chamber; no nurse to come and
say, he is not so well and asks for you,'
no indeed; you may sleep on now and
| take your rest. If you can. All, poor
heart 1t wilt be long before the sweet
rest you once knew will revisit your
couch. Slumber will again bring the
| scenes through which you have just pas
sed and you will start from it but find
them all too real. God pity the mourn
er after the funeral! q. uo11

What a Woman Can Do.
A Wife who Took the Place Of her Husband
to Some Purpose.

A Washington correspondent writes
as follows:
On looking over 6 copy of correspond
ence just issued, was told that many
of the dispatches therein we're written
by alady' AS the story is an interest
ing. 1 send it.
A year ago last August, Mr.. Seward
went to Auburn to receive visit at his
home there from the Chinese Embassy.
Two weeks were spent in entertaining
the Celestials, and the Secretary took
his final adieu of Mr.. Rurlingame, and
returned to Washington. As q result of
his absence, there was big mountain of
unanswered dispatches on his desk a.
waiting attention, some Of much i'm
portance. for just at that time revolu-
had broken out in Venezuela snd our
Minister needed instructions.
Ever since his assassination Mr.. Sew
ard has used q phonographer, being un-
able to write himself for any length of
time without great fatigue. Unhappily.
two days after his return, his Secretary
fell sick with the typhoid fever. No one
in the Department could write short
hand. Nearly all the Washington pho
nographers were away on their vaca-
tions.
He thought of sending to New York for
q man, for his embarrassment was be-
coming serious. But the next day his
Secretary's wife, young lady of about
% years, came to the Department.; said
that she had studied shorthand little,
and offered her services. Mr.. Seward
gladly accepted them. On trial she prov
ed to be as good as her husband.
For six weeks, during his sickness and
convalescence, she worked steadily at
the Department, at q time when there
was more to do than months before,
writing as clerk said, ''cords Of dis
patches from her notes during the day,
and sometimes taking the more hurried
work home in the evening.
Meanwhile she got the meals for three
boarders with her own hands and doc
tored her husband and sister entirely
herself, leaving a colored nurse to look
after them during her absence each day
at the Department. And besides this,
she snatched o few minutes every day to
make two dresses and garments that she
needed.
Secretary Seward was quite proud oi
his little scribe. He took her home dai-
ly in his carriage. and showed her every
attention at the Department, and re-
marked at the end Of her six weeks
work, that he thought she new more then
about our foreign relations than any wo-
man in the country.
This lady. with considerable pluck,
after having graduated at two medical
colleges in this country, has gone alone
to Vienna to complete her studies.

The disposition to pry into the priva-
very common, and is always dishonora-
BILE. The appetite for such knowledge
is to be regarded as morbid, and the in
diligence of it disgraceful. A family
has sacred rights to privacy. In re-
garding the delicate relations of the
household, secrecy becomes a virtue.
Even if by chance the private affairs are
laid open to q stranger, honor will re-
quire him 40 turn from them, and if
knowledge of them should be forced up.
on him, thcy should be locked in sa-
cred silence. A double obligation of
privacy and secresy rests upon one who
is q guest in q household. The turpi-
tude of q betrayal of family history by
visitor is far greater than theft wonld
be. To pocket q half dozen silver
spoons would do far less damage, pro-
far less suffering, and be less immoral
than talebearing- It is thing so scan
dalous that it should degrade a person
and put him out of society. To
betray the secrets Of household is not
only an odious immortality, but it is
shame to be on good terms with those
who are known to commit such outrages.
They are miscreants. They put them
selves out of the pale of decent society.
They should be treated as moral out
laws. These hungry eyed wretches
who sit in the unsusplci US circle of pa
rents and children, treasuring their
words, spying their weaknesses, misin-
terpreting the innocent liberties of the
household, and then run from house to
house with their shameful news, are
worse than poisoniers of wells, or burn
ers of houses. They poison the faith
of man in man. If one man opens his
| mouth to tell you Of such things, with
There are two actions which justify you
| in instantly knocking a man down; the
one is the act of pointing a gun at you
| in sport, and the other is the attempt to
tell you secret which it is disgraceful
for him to get, and for you to hear.
Make no terms with such people. Tale
bearers have no rights. They are COM
mon enemies to good men. Hunt. har-
rass and hound them out of society,
they are the worst of pests save one,
and thatis the listenerto the tale bear
err There could be no talebearers if
| there were none to hear. 1t takes an
ear and . tongue to make scandal
Greedy listining is as dishonorable as
nimble tattling. The ear is the open
market where the tongue sells its ill got
ten wares. Some there are who will
not repeat what they have heard, but
they are willing to listen to it. They
will not trade in contraband goods; but
they will buy enough OF the smuggler
for family use! The respectable listen
ers are the patrons OF tattlers. It is
shame to listen to the ill of your neigh
bor. Christian benevolence demands
that you do not love i'll news. A clean
heart and . true honor rejoice in kindly
things. It should be pain and a sor-
row to know Of any thing that degrades
your neighbor In your eys, even If your
enemy, how much more IL he is your

INDIAN SUMMER.

Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they buried in snow,
There comes 3 festival season,
When nature is all aglow-
Aglow W ith q mystical splendor
That rivals the beauties of spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than aught which fair Summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The Sun from its cloud pillow ed chamber
Smiles soft on . vision so gay,
And dreams that his favorite children,
The Flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the mountains,
light, azure haze in the air,
A, # :ngel., while hs.venwsra ass aa., soaring, g.
The breeze is 30 soft, 30 caressing,
seems . mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like . blessing,
From some happy spirit above.
These days so serene and so charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
A tremulous, fearful enjoyment,
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they're fading and feeting,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end.
And we watch them with yearning affection,
As at parting we watch . dear friend.
Oh beautiful Indian Summer!
Thou favorite child of the year,
Thou darling whom Nature enriches,
With gifts and adornments dear
How fain would We WOO thee to liuger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of Nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
Not alone on the sad fields of Autumn
Dost thou q lost brightness restore,
But thou bringest . world-weary spirit
Sweet dreams of its childhood once more
Thy loveliness fills US with memories
Of all that was brightest and best
Thy peace and serenity offer
ss4 A foretaste Of heavenly rest.
