Kiss NE, HIamma.

''Kiss me, mamma, before | 20. to
sleep" How simple boon, yet how
soothing to the little Eupplicant is
that soft gentle kiss. The little head
sinks contentedly on the pillow, for
all is peace and happiness within.
The bright eyes close, and the rosy
lip is reveling in the bright sunny
dreams of innocence. Yes kiss it
mamma, for that night kiss will ling
ger in memory when the giVer lies
mOldering in the grave The MEM
ory ofa gentle, loving mothers kiss
has cheered many a lonely wander
er's pilgrimage, and has been the
beacon light to illuminate his desc
late heart; for remember, life has
many a stormy billoW TO cross,
many a rugged path to climb, with
thorns to pierce, and we know not
what is in store for the little one so
sweetly slumbering, with no mar
ring care TO disturb its peaceful
dreams. The parched and feVered lip
will become dewy again as recoilee-
tion bears to the sufferers couch q
mothers loYe-a mothers kiss.
Then kiss your little ones, kind
mother, ere they sleep, there is a
magic power in that kiss which will
endure to the end of life. q

And wooed me with remembrance tender.

Effects OF ,IS Fundins Law

1t has been estimated by careful
calculation that it will require a tax
of eighty cents on every, one hum
dred dollars worth of property in
the State, in order to meet the cur
rent expenses, and the indebtedness
created by the funding law. With
the already heavy burdens of pri-
Yate debt with which the people are
oppressed, with the tax of forty cents,
they find it difficult to pay them, but
if it should be doubled, it will be
almost impossible for them to pay.
But the worst feature about the
State and county taxes is the strin-
gent clause OF what is known as the
assessment law, which places the
purchaser at the tax sale in imme-
diate possession of the real estate
struck off to him, and which he can
hold subject to redemption and also
hold the rents. II a tax of seventy
or eighty cents were placed upon the
property of the Stateit would bank
rupt the people and turn half OF
those out of house and home who
now own homes.
1t is sincerely hoped that Cover
nor Brown will call q special session
of the Legislature for the express
purpose of repeating the funding

Long nay Is wave.

A young mother was in the habit
OF airing the baby's clothes at the
window; her husband didu't like IL,
and believing that IL she saw her
practice as Others saw IL, she would
desist, he so directed their afternoon
walk as to bring the nursery win
dow into full view from the central
part of the town. Stopping abrupt
ly he pointed TO the offending line
Tapping unconsciouslyi in the breeze,
and asked sarcastically: sfMy dear
what is that displayed in our win
dow?"
"Why," she replied "that is the
flag of our union"
Conquered by this pungent re-
tort, he saluted the flag by swing
of his hat, and pressing his wife's
arm closer within his own said, as
they walked homeward: "And long

A young wife stood at q lattice pane,
In study sad and brown,
Watching the dreary, eeaseless ram,
Steadily pouring down
Drip, drip, drip,
1t kept on its tireless spray;
And the poor little woman sighed, ''Ah me :
What wretched, weary day"
An eager hand at the door,
A step as Of one in haste,
A kiss upon her lips once more,
An arm around her waist:
Throb, throb, thrOb,
Went her little heart, grateful and gay,
As she thought, with smile, "Well, after
All, it isn't so duh day!''
Forgot was the plashing rain,
And the lowering skies above,
For the sombre room was lighted again
By the blessed sun of love;
Love, love, love!
Ran the little wife's muTmur'd lay;
"Without. it may threaten and frown If it
will,
Within, what glorious day!"

Reebstock repeated: ''Do you love

EEerybodywas aghast. Each one,
his glass in his hand, remained mo
tionless, looking first at Theodore
and thea at Gretchen and then at
the brewer. Finally Theodore, his
voice half choked by the beating of
his heart, cried:
'sf love her?1
He turned to Gretchen with look
so tender and pleading that the
young girl ran toward him, and
throwing herself into his arms, melt

The old brewer burst into a great

There are many good and anus
ing anecdotes told about our cIer-
gymen, and there is no class Of per-
sons that enjoy a good joke more
than they do themselves. We have
recently had related TO us an incl
dent in the history OF one of our
good brethren, in the Presbytery Of
Memphis, with which his compan-
ions in labor will be pleased to be
made acquainted. And he will not
himself object If they should laugh
till tears low at his expense.
Travelling in his buggy alone not
long ago, in going TO one of his ap-
pOintments, he overlook a "foOt
pad" with his carpet-bag In his
hand. The roads were muddy, and
he was Just at that time about en-
tering q miry bottom. With the po-
liteness for which he is noted, he
asked the pedestrian ian entire
stranger( If he would not take q seat
in the buggy, until, at least, they
had crossed the mud and tho mire.
The invitation was readily accept
ed, and the conFcrsation for time
was free and easy, about things or
binary and general. Presently,
however, the good brother with a
view to make the conversation pro-
fitable, asked the stranger il he acGs
prepared 20 die Not knowing the
character of the person who had in
Yited him to a seat with him, Al Il
misapprehending his meaning, aud
suspecting foul play, he waited not
to reply, but sprang from the buggy
Immediately, and ran for his life
through slush and water. The
clerical brother, wishing 10 assure
the stranger that he meant no harm,
called to him at the top Of his voiUe,
to sToPi But this only hastened his
speed, and, like 4 scared hare, be
ran until beyond hearing and sight.
In his hasty flight, he left his carpet
sack, which our good brother now
has in his possession, being the rich
er for his faithfulness by the addi-
tion of a coarse shirt, and a pair OF
thread-bare trousers and a little
"baccer." If any one should hear
of the owner enquiring for such
goods they are at liberty TO direct
him to this Office where fuller infor-
nation can be Memphis

a Rather KIIIsd BY mis- sen.


On last Tuesday evening our COM
munity was shocked by the sad in
telligence that n. James McKissack,
who lives in the neighborhood of
Spring Hill, had, without provoea-
ton, murdered his father, Mr.. o.
W.. McKissack. From the latest
dispatches received, Mr.. McKissack
was still alive, but there were no
hopes of his recovery. The circum-
stances, as we have learned them,
were about as follows: The son,
wishing to take a trip South, asked
the father for money to defrRy his
expenses; and the father gave him
what money he thought was neces-
sary, and told the son that it was
all he had to spare. The son de-
manded three thousand dollars, and
made some threats when informed
that such a demand could not be
granted. The father then asked
him what he had done with the
money he had already resolved, and
the son replied that he had hid il
under rail some distance up the
road. They both went together to
look for the money where it was
5diu W DC COuCedAeu, ana Wlen the
father stopped down to ascertain if
the money was really there, the son
stabbed him three times in the back.
When the father turned to make an
effort to escape, he received three
additional stabs in the abdomen.
No one was an eyewitness to the
affair except negro, but others ar
rived in time to arrest the son and
prevent further attempts to murder
his father. These are about the
facts in the case as related by the
