A Shrewd Merchant.

A wholesale merchant in this
city, who became rich in his
business, says his rule always
was, when he sold q bill of
goods on credit, to Immediately
subscribe for the local paper of
his debtor. So long as his GUS
toner advertised literally and
vigorously, he rested, but as
soon as he began to contract his
advertising space, he took the
fact as evidence there was
trouble ahead, and he invaria-
bly, went for his debt. Said he,
'tthe man that feels too poor to
make his business known, is toe
poor to do business" The
Withdrawing of an advertise
ment is an evidence of weakness
that business men are not slow
to observe and act upon.-M 7

Dear Monitor: In '68 / paid a

while meandering through its diff

two graves were side by side, and
| was informed contained the bod
les of two brothers-soldiers who
died in the Confederate service
One died bravely in Virginia, the
other the same in Georgia. They
were sons of noble citizen of
that place, who has large and
respectable family of children,
girls and boys, and they were
greatly endeared to each other

OF the brothers was brought back

family so deeply gNeved at the
loss of a member, and twelve
months afterwards the other broth

side by side in the cemetery.
What is more remarkable about
the matter-that which prompted
this little communications thai
the doting sisters attend those
graves every ddy-not a single day
passes, only in cases of extreme
sickness-with evergreens and
flowers, and there mingle their
tears and bestow them upon the
graves Of their departed brothers

If any of your readers should
visit that locality, and will en-

OF this family; and if they 60 int

hand of affection has done t
perpetuate in memory the form'

A Good Selection.

A correspondent of the Unio,
and American suggests our friend
Col. james D. Tillman, our Rep
resentative, as a suitable Speaker
for the next House of Representa-.
tives. We second the motion.
A better selection could not be
made, if a thoroughly efficient
officer is desired. Courteous
in his department., conversant
with parliamentary rules and usa
ges, and of sound business habits
Col. Tillman would fill the posi-
ton with credit. The correspon
dent says:

Mr.. " O. Wallace
DEAR SiR-Permit me through

per to express my gratitude to
the citizens Of Lincoln county
for their kindness extended to-
wards me since / have been asso-
lciated with them. While I was
Assistant Assessor, never had
any trouble assessing the revenue,
and always found those with
whom l had business ready
and willing to pay the taxes due

l6 months 1 have been occupying
a position that would make enc.
mics instead of friends. During
that time / had no cause to com.
plain. If my successor will pur-
sue the course that / have, he
will never have any trouble in.

nue. officer has to do to get along
with the people is to do bis sworn
duty, attend to his own business,
and let other peoples alone that
don't concern him.. and | will in
sure him that he won't have any
trouble whatever. The great
trouble with come men lie, as soon
as they are appointed Assistant
Assessors they think the govern.
mens OF the U. S. sets on their
shoulders, and instead of treating
men respectfully and making their
assessments in a decent manner,
they treat every person who is
subject to pay a special tax as q
rascal, and are not willing to take
there word for anything. This
ought not to be allowed. IF eve
ry Assistant Assessor and Deputy
Collector would do their duty,
their would be less complaint, and
the government officials at Wash
ington city would not be troubled
every few days reading letters
asking for q. S. troops to assist in
collecting the revenue. Ii diff
ferent course was pursued in some
States to what there is, more har-
mony would prevail between the
officers and citizens, the revenue
would be collected closer. and the
government would save thousands
of dollars by the operation. Per
sonally | have never been treated
kinder in life than / have been
in Lincoln county, and I have
found the feelings of the commu-
nifty altogether different here than
was reported to me before / came.
l have neither been killed nor
poisoned as people said | would be,
when ! came here, and Idon'tthink

community, come TO Lincoln coun-
ty. Youcar't go toa bettercounty.

you for your kind hospitality.

THE DEAD LETTER.
ny JOHN G. SANE,


-
And can ii be All. yes, see,
Ills thirty years and better
Since Mary Morgan GENT TO me
This musty, nlusky letter.
A pretty hand tshe couldn't sptln
As any man must vote it;
And twas as / remember we'll,
A pretty hand that wrote ii
How calmly now i view il all,
As memory backward ranges
The talks, the walks, that j recall,
And then--t the postal changes!
(Since cash is oupid's hostage.
Just one and sixpence nothing less
This letter cost In postage!
The love that wrote at such rate
(By Jove it was steep one y
Five hundred notes Il calculate)
Was certainly deep one;
And vet it died of slow decline
Perhaps suspicion chilled it:
I've quite forgot If twas mine
Or Mary's flirting killed it! ...r
At last the fatal message came:
"My letters--please return them;
And YOURS (of course you wish the same
hi send them back or burn them"
Two precious fools, must allow,
Whichever was the greater;
/ wonder if I'm wiser now,
Some seven lustres later!
And this alone remains! All, well
These words of warm affection,
The faded ink, the pungent smell,
Are food for deep reflection.
They tell of how the heart eontriyes
To change with fancy's fashion,
And how drop of musk survives
The strongest human passion!
