The Beautiful Girl.

The most beautiful girl in the Uni
ted States, lives in Athens. Her hair
is of that peculiar hue that a field of
ripe wheat throws towards the setting
sun. Her eyes send forth a light so
efrulgent and magnetic that strangers
become spell bound under Its influence
and stand rudely gazing. Her cheeks
bear bloom like the sunny side of
an early peach. A pearl would seem
almost to black beside her teeth. Her
hands suggest the idea of waxen fin
gers tipped with vermillion. Her
smiles seems to actually illuminate
her presence and when she laughs, the
listener fancies he hears sweet music
in the distance Athens Post.
Send her down this way. There is
a young man here who would like to
"kiss her for her mother. = Meals s

Good Advice to Dyspeptics.
The Boston Journal of Chemistry

The Boston Journal of Chemistry
says:
fla man wishes to get rid Of dys.
pepsia he must give his stomach and
brains less to do. 1t will be of no
service to him to follow any particular
regimen--to. live on chaff bread, or
any such stuff--to weigh his food, etc,
SO long as the brain is in a constant
state of excitement.
But if he passes fourteen or fifteen
hours o day in his office or counting
room, and takes no exercise, his sto.
mach will inevitably become paralyed,
onn ifheputs nothing init but crack
er day, i. will not digest it.
In many cases it is the brain that is
the primary cause. Give that delicate
organ some rest Leave your bust
ness behind you when you go to your
home. DO not sit down to your din
ner with your brows knit, and your
MUD absorbed in casting up interest
on accounts.
Never abridge the usual hours OF
sleep. Take more or less exercise in
the open air every day. Allow your
self some innocent recreation.
Eat moderately, slowly and Of what
you please--provided it be not the
shovel and tongs. If any particular
dish disagrees with you, however new
er touch it, or look at it. Do not i'm
agine that you must live on rye brea(

AnecdOte of Calhoun.

The following anecdote of John c.
Calhoun is told by William Schoulel:
on the authority of the late Hon. Alb
bot Lawrence. ''Some time before
1910, Mr.. Calhoun wrote to Mr.. Law
renee that he had been adding to his
landed estates and would like to obtain
loan of $40, 600 or $4,000 in Bos-
ton, where money was more plenty
than in South Carolina, and the rate of
interest not so high, for the payment
of which he would give his notes and
"a mortgage upon his estate which
would be simple security. Mr. Law
renee said he consulted Mr.. Nathan
Appleton and one or two other wealthy
citizens of Boston upon the subject
and it was agreed to raise the money
for him and take no security for the
payment but his own note. MIR. Law
renee informed Mr.. Calhoun of the
arrangement which he had made, and
expressed his qualification that it was
in the power OF himself and q few of
his friends to do kindness to one so
distinguished whose life had been de-
voted to the service of his country.
Mr.. Calhoun Immediately wrote back
declining the offer, and Withdrawing
his original request. He said it did
not agree with his sense of propriety
to accept loan on such terms; that
in the discharge of his public duties
he did not wish to be embarrassed by
sense of obligation to any one."

The Best Way to Advertise.

The best and cheapest mode Of ad-
vertising in the world is that in the
newspapers. Every successful adver-
tiser will say this. Seed strewn there
if the seed are good for anything al
ways bring upa crop of some value,
generally a hundred fold. Placarding
dead walls and showering hand bills
among the people are auxiliaries in adj
vertsing; but it is doubtful whether as
a rule they more than pay the expense
while there is no doubt that they arc
nuisance. The blankest of dead
walls is only disfgured by posters
provoking in the well regulated mind
sense of aversion TO the man who Sc
advertises and the articles upon whose
excellences he expatiates while as tc
hand-bills nothing so prejudices cit
izen against going to zee any show
or buying any goods as the ugly slips
of paper thrust at him from all quar-
ters elequently recommending him tc

A Word Fifty Spoken.

That sterling paper, the Clarksvillc
Chronicle has the following paragraph
upon subject which is Of general in
terest and applicable to other localities
than that in which it first finds utter
ance. We commend it to the thought.

are doing business here, and expect to
make living by selling their goods
and wares, to the people of this town
and country, yet these same men ad-
wise people to send work away from

reference to printing, they argue to
them that they can send their printing
to Louisville and get it done some
cheaper than Clarksville printers can
do it for We ask such men to stop
and consider this matter and see if, af--
ter reflection they think they are act
ing right towards the people from
whom they expect to make living.
The little commission paid them by
a foreign printer to secure work from
our midst is q small matter when it is
properly looked into. Suppose our
people were to withdraw their patron

your business house in this city--and

BY MRS. NJ. A. KIDDER.

BY MRS. NJ. A. KIDDER.
A gentle voice, heartfelt sigh,
A modest blush, speaking eye,
A manner unaffected, free;
These things are beautiful to me.
A ready hand, loving heart,
A sympathy that's free from art,
A real friend among the few;
These things are beautiful and true.
A mothers prayer, an answer mild,
An aged sire, little child,
A happy home, cheerful hearth,
These things are beautiful on earth.
A joyful song, chorus sweet,
An earnest soul and willing feet,
A day of peace, might of rest;
These things are beautiful and blest.
A sisters love, a brothers care,
A spotless name, jewel rare,
A cleanly tongue, that will not lie;
These things are beautiful-and why?
Because they all are born Of love,
And emanate from God above
An earnest Of the heavenly birth
These things are beautiful on earth.

Aileen's Love.

Ralph Livingston was one OF tor
tunes most favored children; young,
in good health, handsome and rich.
Ralph was the only child of wild
owed mother, and the last representa-
tive of an old and proud race. He was
universal favorite.
Mrs. Livingston knew the time was
coming when her son would marry,
and 80 she thought to anticipate his
choice by selecting wife for him
fearing his heart might settle on one
not agreeable to her. She felt jealous
of every one right at home. But then
Aileen was not beautiful, and of course
she had no idea of the girl who was
fricndless and dependent on her boun-
ty as one to connect even in thought
with her son.
No, Aileen, poor child! was not to
be feared. She waited on Ralph, read
to him, learned difficult songs that he
might easily catch the air and sing
them to ether girls; listened to his
eulogies on the beauty, grace and
sweetness of Lilly, Rose and Violet,
whichever he chanced to be the best
pleased with at the time.
Before Aileen knew Ralph's nature
50 well she would steal away to her
room and weep as If her little heart
would break--why, she would never
acknowledge even to herself-when he
would talk to her Of the girl he ad-
mired so much. But after q time
Aileen could listen and smile, for she
felt his heart knew not the mighty
power.
Ada Whiting, the daughter OF her
dearest frierd, was the choice OF Mrs.
Livingston, and she set herself about
to have it as she wished. Mrs. Whl-
ting's health being very feeble her phy-
sicians advised her to winter South.
Ada was much avcrse to going, and so
It was an easy task for Mrs. Livingston
| to persuade the parents to leave their
daughter to her love and care. And
80 the beautiful Ada became one OF
Mrs. Livingston's family.
Ada was beautiful, truly; perfect in
form and features, with q shower OF
golden riuglets; complexion fair and
as delicately tinted as the pearly sea-
she'll; eyes asbIue as. the summer sky
shy and languishing eyes, that ever
plowed with the same soft, sweet
light ::

liar than. Ada Whiting and Aileen
Wild. And when Mrs. Livingston saw
them standing near together she
thought how. much .Ada's beauty was
enhanced by the contrast; for Aileen

no one had ever thought pretty, and

MARROW EscAPE.-On Monday OF
last week the dwelling house of c. c.
Ferry at North Hy depark took fire. Mr.,
Ferry being at work in the yard saw
smoke issuing from an upper room, in
which one of his children, under two
years was asleep. He rushed to the
chamber and found the bed on which lay
the little sleeper. Choked almost to suf
location, it seemed long time before he
found the object of his search beneath
the feather bed where she had erawled
to escape the intense heat which had al
ready blistered her hands, they being
still exposed. Her face and clothes were
covered with bloody discharges from her
lungs and she was nearly dead, but is ex,
pected to recover.

BODY FouND.-The body of Isaac ID.
Kellogg, of Rutland who mysteriously
disappeared some weeks since was found
in Otter Greek near that village on Tues
day. On Friday evening March 3ls',
as we learn from the Rutland Herald, he
took an affectionate leave of his wife and
child with the intention Of visiting his
mother some two miles from Rutland vii
lsge, and was not seen after. There is
much speculation as to the cause OF his
death. Some think be was met by an
assassin and thrown into the strea u, be-
ing mistaken for his brother who has
enemies and has been threatened, while
others think It was accidental, as no evil
dence of violence on his body has yet ap'
peared.
