THE GUARDS STORY.

We were on picket, sir, he and T.,
Under the blue of midnight sky,
In the wilderness, where the night birds song
Gives back an echo all night long;
Where the silver stars as they come and pass
Leave stars of dew on the tangled grass,
And the rivers sing in the silent hours,
Their sweetest songs to the listning flowers.
He'd slender form, and girlish face,
That seemed in the army out of place,
Though he smiled as told him so that day,
Ay, smiled and flushed in a girlsh way
That minded me of face knew,
In distant village, meath the blue
When our army marched, at the meadow bars,
She met and kissed me meath the stars.
Before us The river silent ran,
And we d been placed to guard the ford
A dangerous place. and we'd jump and start
Every time leaf by the wind was stirred.
Behind US the army lay encamped,
Their camp-frcs burned into the night,
Like bonfires built upon the hills,
And set by demon hands alght.
Somehow. whenever looked that way,
seemed TO see her face again,
Kind O. hazy like, ms You have seen star
A peepin' out through misty rain;
And once, believe, as thought Of her,
| thought aloud, and called him Bess
When lie started quick, and smiling, said
You dream of some one at home, guess )
Twas Just in the flush OF the morning light,
We stopped for q chat at the end Of our beat,
When rife flashed at the rivers bank
And bathed in blood he sank at my feet
All Of sudden ] knew her then,
And kneeling. | kissed the girlish face;
And raised her head from the tangled grass,
To find on my breast its resting place.
When the corporal came to change the guard,
At six in the morning, he found me there
With Bessie's dead form clasped in my arms
And hid in my heart her dying prayer.
They buried her under the moaning pines,
And never a man in the army knew
That Willie Searles and nv girl were one,
You're the first Pve tod--the story's new

WHAT AdE TO PLANT FRuIr TREES

WHAT AGE TO PLANT FRuIr TREES. =
A correspondent of the Horticulturist
says: +" A great many think that three
or four year old tree will bear sooner
than one two years younger, and the
nucserymen can testify we'll to the de-
mand for trees for Immediate fruiting
but | consider it costly, unsatisfactory
practice. Nearly every tree Of that age
losses by necessity a large portion of its
roots by transplanting from the nursery
to its future bed; aud in order to main
lain q healthy progressive growth, the
top must be shortened in in same pro-
portion, sometimes quite severely; and
by the time this is completed, the tree is
little or no better than one a year or two
younger. 1t happens, however, in the
majority of cases, that the trees are
neither planted or well pruned and the
first years growth after planting in It's
new bone is weak, sickly, stunted, with
the least possible prospect Of fruit.

But let her jostle him at the polls, con
tend with him for Office, and in tho terri
BILE conflict which often demoralizcs or
brushes true manhood, what will become
of woman's purity? Man will no longer
reverence what he is not allowed to pro-
tect. AS well might the vine which has
chung to the sturdy oak for support for
centuries, suddenly withdraw its cling
ing tendrils and assert that it will no
longer rely on it, but will stand firm and
erect as that majestic tree; when the
storms howl around it, and the winds
strive to bow it to the earth; but, alas
it is soon trailing in the dust, bruised
and crushed under foot.
Physically, man was made stout and
strong to battle with the storms Of life +;
woman, physically and morally, is like
the clinging vine. Neither can exist
alone; each is necessary to the comfort
and happiness Of the other. The Great
Creator knew what was for the greatest
happiness and highest good of each, and
formed them accordingly and said all His
works were good.
Even in my girlhood, when others
were bemoaning their sex and longing
for wider field | ever gloried in my
womanhood, and in our life-work, than
which can any be more noble or extern
sive? 1t isas extensive as time itself,
for while sin and misery abound, she
will find work enough Even now while
there are so many haunts of vice. SO
much to turn man from his true course,
she is acting often as Eve of old, and for
getting for what she is created and in
stead of beipg a help-meet to man to re-
gain his lost inheritance she is begnil-
ing him to take the broad road to destruc-
/ lun
/ Oh, Nellie. may woman arise in her
might and aid in rescuing man, and even
snnio of our own sex from that fell des-
troying power---rum. Utter her protest
against the wnescller, discountenance
him as she would one who was selling
poison to her husband, sons and brothers
Danish wine from her table as she would
curse from her hearthstono; and cards
from her ireside if she would not edu-
cate her loved ones for the gamblers
den
Thus while sin and misery are dog
ging man at every footstep, temptations
in so many forms present themselves to
entice him from the right way. Let us
be true to our womanhood, and aid him
to shun evil and cleave to that which is
pure and lofty. Thus in the position
which God has placed us, let us do the
work He gave u.s. and power will 90
forth from the hcarthstone and the social
circle which will be felt for good, and
man and his lielp-meet may meet again
in the garden of Eden, where flowers for
ever bloom. where no serpent may enter
to beguile them, but where all will be
JOY supreme and they may have the COM
partnership of the Son Of God, and bask
in the sunshine Of His countenance for
ever.

When a St. Louis girl wants her
young man to kiss her right bad she
twists her head around like calf licking
its left hind hip, and says: Don't quit
I'll call my ma ]" and he doesn't quit.
A Cincinnati girl does not do that way.
She throws her head back, her ears like
pair of paln-leaf fans, holds her arms
out, and says: "Ge--orge, kee-is me
and let me dee--ie come to me arms"
and he kills her right there. She dies
happy, but lives to die some more that
way. It makes our girls sick down
here. They aren't used to it. They
put that part Of the business off until they
get so old and tough that square.
"paroxysmal" kiss loses its sweetness.
We know VIC amt pretty, but--we'vo

LITTLE IBTGRH ITEMS.

Little Rigby is beautiful little
stream flowing from south to north,
emptying into Duck River about four
miles below Columbia. 1t winds its way
through the most beautiful and tertile
lands of Maury. The once famous
town, Bigbyville, is situated on the
banks of this creek. Bigbyville was once
a noted place, but having become dis
gusted with political affairs, and the
dog law, it has retired to private life,
and now it only boasts OF its morality,
and firm foundation, the latter especial
ly. We are now through wheat
harvest, and the hum of threshers can be
heard from every direction. There IS
great deal complaint of smut in wheat;
with that exception the wheat crop Is
very good in this vicinity. Corn and
cotton are growing very nicely. We
had good rain on last Friday, which
made everything look fresh and green.
The farmers are all pushing forward
with an unusual amount of VigOr and
zeal. We anticipate better times in the
future.
Mrs. Lizzie J. Davis has been teach
ing school at Shady Doll, a new school
house in this neighborhOOd, two miles
below BigbyvIlle. Her school closed
on last Friday, with an eXami, ton in
the afternoon, which was quitchooteres-
ting to all present. After all tuinIasses
had been examined, then ute the
beautiful compositions, speedHIs and
songs.

speech well; subject, "The IDfant Or

McCdndlass' speech was also good;
subject, "My fathers grave"
Mrs. Davis is one of our proficient

The matrimonial fever has about
disappeared for this season, but we have
heard several of the young gents
make the assertion that they are going
to talk business next Fall, provided
they make a good crop this season. So
look out young ladies, for the prospect
is very flattering thus far.
