How They Finally Got Married.

One long summer afternoon there
came to Mr.. Davidson the most Gu
rious specimen of an old bachelor the
world ever heard of. He was old,
gray, wrinkled and odd. Hehated old
women, especially old maids, and
wasn't afraid to say so. He and Aunt
Patty had it hot whenever chance drew
them together yet still he came, and
it was noticed that Aunt Patty took
unusual pains with her dress whenever
he was expected.
One day the contest waged unusual
" strong, and Aunt Patty left in dis
gust and went out into the garden.

A Texas kstOr.

In Southwestern Texas there is a
cattle-raiser who has lived there TWEEN
ty years. On going there he picked
up dozen COWS and branded them.
He had no land, but was the possesor
of wife, two or three guns, few
dogs, and two or three horses. He kept
watch of his cows, and lived in a
hand -to-mouth way for several years,
subsisting his family by the capture of
game and the sale of skins. In May,
1873, he owned thirty thousand head
of cattle, duly branded, ranging over
the plains. He has a family of nine
children, five of whom are boys. His
eldest child is girl, nineteen years of
age She can rope a steer, kill a wolf
with rife, or strangle dog at arms
length.
In the mans house is nail-keg
nearly filled with gold coin, while in
the pantry is a hour-barrel almost
filled with silver pieces. When he
sells cattle it is for coin which is
dumped on the premises. He will not
take paper money at any rate, but Is
always ready to sell steers for gold or
silver. His boys are all familiar with
guns, dogs and cattle In few years
more they will have literally carloads
of money, provided robbers do not
make raid upon them, in which case,
between man, wife, boys, girls, dogs
and shot-guns, the raiders would like
~ get more bullet-holes than bullion
The house occupied by this prosper
Gus family is low, built of logs, and
contains three rooms. The father
aud mother sleep in the dining-room,
the girls sleep in the spare room, while
the boys sleep in the addition. The
girls do not know much about HOni-
ton lace or the opera, but they can
show nice lot of calves, and skin a
veal as quick as Ohio women can get
up an open-air prayer-meeting.

CIR c. p. CHURCH.
It's Enterprising Members Succeed in
Refltting their Church.

The Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in Pulaski during the war was
SO abused by the Federals as to render
it unfit for any decent purpose. The
membership has been very weak here
since then, but the interest of the con-
gregation In securing to themselves a
permanent place of worship gradually
grew up to about year ago when they
found il within the scope Of their abil-
ity to renovate their building and en-
ploy a pastor. They went right to
work, and the result to-day is that
they have one of the handsomest
churches in the land, beautifully fitted
up inside and out, and have the coop

in the person of the pastor, Rev. b.
M. Taylor, late of GAINESVILLE. A
splendid organ has been recently put
in, the floor nicely carpeted, and IL
fact every arrangement perfected to
adorn the inside Of the structure.
Elegant Venetian blinds have been
contributed by the Lebanon congrega-
ton, and the first C. p. Church of
Nashville, Rev. DIR. Baird. pastor, con-
tributed $50 towards the purchase OF
their organ. The congregation has
spent between 81 900 and 81 200 upon
the building, and when every improve
ment had been completed balance
sheet showed them to be in debt$ll 10.
The church received from the estate
of Rev. Jos. Brown, of this county, q
donation of some $500, appropriated
by the Richmond Presbytery. The
improvement in membership and in
good works has been in keeping with
the improvements upon the building.
Since the LIST of May last "a persons
have been converted in that church
and n persons added to the congrega-
ton of members. The congregation
is remarkable for its zeal, both pastor
and members working with unabated
ardor for the upbuilding of their

pleasure by all christians, and the zeal
with which they grapple and overcome
difficulties is sure promise of pros
porous future. We bid them God

The following in substance, has been
repeated many times, and is as true as
preaching:
Many an unwise parent works hard
and lives sparingly all his life for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in the world, as it is
called. Setting young man afloat with
money left him by his relatives, is like
tying a bladder under the arms of one
who cannot swim ten chances to one
he will lose his bladder and go to the
bottom. Teach him to swim, and he
will not need bladders. Give your
child sound education. See to it that
his morals are pure, in mind cultivated,
and his whole nature made subservient
to the laws which govern man, and you
have given him what will be of more
value than the wealth of the Indies.
You have given him start which no
misfortune can deprive him of. The
earlier you teach him to depend upon
his own resources and the blessing of
God, the better.

How They Waltz.

A Put-in-Bay correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times furnishes the follow
ing lively description of the style in
which girls from different States and
localities waltz, as shown by the hops
at that pleasant resort:
People may say that a waltz is a
waltz, but it is mistake, as much as
Ia say that a dog is a dog, for there are
dogs and dogs, and there are waltzes
and waltzes. With one person it is
the poetry of motion; with another it
is about rs awkward a performance as
putting yourself upon level and GO
ing through the motion of running up
stairs would be. 4 Kentucky girl is
a natural waiter, and she does it with
Il charming CHIC and abandon. An
Ohio girls waltzing is easy, graceful
and 'melodiOus" If she happens to
come from Cincinnati, and across the
Rhine, she swings dreamily round and
round IN the endless Dutch waltz If
she comes from Chicago, she throws
her hair back, jumps up and cracks her
heels together and carries off her as
tonished partner as though a simeon
had struck him, and knocks over all
intervening obstacles in her mad ca
reer around the room. If she is from
Indiana, she creeps closely and timidly
M to her partner, as though she would
like to get into his vest pocket, and
melts away with ecstacy as the witch
ing strains of the Blue Danube
sweep through the hall. If she is from
Missouri, she crooks her body in the
middle like door hinge, takes her
partner by the shoulders and makes
him miserable in trying to hop around
her without treading on her No. 8
shoes. If she comes from Michigan
she astonishes her partner by now and
then working in touch of the double
shuttle or bit of pigeon-wing, with
the waltz step. And if she comes from
Arkansas, she. throws both arms around
ms neck, rolls up her eyes as she floats
away and is heard to murmur, "Oh,
hug me, joint"

EDWARD EvERETT's definition of a
good education was: Read the En-
glish language well, write with dispatch
a neat, legible hand, and be master of
the first four rules of Arithmetic, so
as to dispose of at once, with accuracy,
every question of figures which come
up in practice, and if you add the abil-
ity to write pure gramma teal English,
you have an excellent education. These
are the tools. You can do much with
them, but you are helpless without
them. They are the foundation; and
unless you begin with these, all your
fashy attachments, a little geology, aud
all other ologies and osophies, are os-
tentatiouS rubbish"

JUDGE WILLIAMS, of Chicago, has
rendered a decision in suit instituted
by the heirs of the late Stephen \.
Douglas for the recovery of certain
property said to have illegally aliena-
ted from them. The ground of action
was that the executor of the estate
had an interest in a sale which was
made by him. The court awarded the
property sold to Robert and Stephen
Douglas, debarring the widow from
participation because she had been
guilty of laches.

NOTWITHSTANDING that Louisiana
is under negro aud brother-in-law rule,
there was an actual excess of white
voters in the State, according TO the
census of 1870. At that time the
total excess of white males under
twenty-one years of age was 1904, and
of white voters l53. Since 1870, how
ever, there has been large negro i'm
migration from Georgia and Alabama,
aud it is probable that now the negroes
exceed the whites in numbers.
