She lives down on Baker
street, and she has a daughter
about eighteen years old. The
old lady retains all her sim
plicity and innocence, and she
doesn't go two cents on style.
The other evening when a
splendid catch' called to es-
cort the daughter to the opera
the mother wouldn't take the
hint to keep still, and would
not help carry out the daugh-
ter's idea that they had wealth.
While helping her daughter
get ready she asked:
"Mary, are you going to
wear the shoes with one heel
off, or pair with holes in 'emg'
Mary didn't, seem to hear,
and the mother inquired:
Are you going to! wear that
dollar gold chain and washed
locket, or will you wear the
diamond father bought at the
hardware store9'' 'is aH
Mary winked at her, and the
young man blushed, but the
old lady went on:
aAre you going to borrow
Mrs. Browns shawl, or will
you wear miner
Mary hustled around the
room, and the mother said;
s'Be careful of your dress,
Mary; You know it's the only
one you've got, and you can't
have another until the mort
gage on this place is lifted.''
Mary remarked to her es-
cort that it promised to be a
beautiful evening, and as she
buttoned her glove her mother
asked:
ssThose are Mrs. Hardy''s
gloves, amt theya.. She's been
a good neighbor to us, and /
don't know how you'd manage
to go anywhere if she didn't
live near u.s., ilssfl. gi.sl5
Mary was hurrying to get
out of the room, when the
mother raised her voice once
more and asked: @
i did you run in to Mrs.
Jewett's and borrow her brace
let and FAM Yes, I see You
did. Wen, now, you look
real stylish, and I hope you'll
have a good Tine y
Mary sits by her window in
the pale moonlight and sighs
for the splendid young man to
come and beau her around
some more, but he hasn't been
seen up that way since that
night. 1T The oil old lady, too,
says that he seemed like. "a
nice young, man, and she
hopes he hasn't been killed by

climate; land is abundant and
cheap; the productions are all
staples and the markets there
for are most accessible. The
settler finds himself exposed
to none of the perils of frontier
life;. to eof the destructive
phenomena of nature, as
plaques of insects, fires or
storms; to none of the discom-
forts and inconveniences that
they mustexperience who ven
ture beyond the bounds of civ
ilization. With all these un-
questioned facts it may seem
incredible that the South has
been so slow to attract the tide
Of immigration which has roll
ed over the country to- osettle in
Dakota and Manitoba. Never
theless,th are reasons sound
and sufficient to account for
this. It has been only too
common to represent the south
ern climate as fatal to health,
the Southern people as disor-
derly, passionate and preju-
diced the whole system, So
cial and political, one undesir-
able for the stranger. Absurd
as these charges have been,
they have been but too sadly
potent for i'll, and the slander
of the carpetbagger has wound
ed what his rapacity spared.
It is well, therefore, that men
who know whereof they speak,
whose position and record af-
ford ample guarantees for their
integrity, whose interests in
the work they have undertak- :
en- is that of the patriot and
philanthropist, not Of the shark
and speculator, should be
found conducting such enter
prises as these, fastening the
return Of ofpopulation, order and
wealth to the South. Every
white colonist whom the South
can now attract will not only
be an essential factor in has
tening the returnof prosperity,
both local and national, bat
will exercise a powerful inf1u-
ence for good on the political
and social destinies Of the
country Happy are they
whose lot it is in these days
that, too, without suffering or

Old Uncle Billy.
A Man Who Had Seen Trouble,

J, We found him sitting on
the post-ofiice steps. His
clothes were old and well worn;
his straw hat looked like it
had seen many summers; his
boots were out at the toes, and
everything went to show that
time had been bis enemy.
We approached him gently,
and laid our hands on the old
mans shoulder and said:
sOld man, why those tears ?''
He looked up suspiciously
atns, drew up his leg brushed
off the mud, and said, in a
voice eloquent with emotion
"'Hoppers !"
We knew at once that he
had been a victim Of the grass
hoppers, and pitied him from
the bottom of our heart. In
hours Of suffering the soothing
voice or the graceful touch of
womanly hands will do more
toward alleviating the misery
of a poor, sorrow stricken
heart, or a heart bowed down
with trouble, than the most
feeling expression of which
awkward, unconth man is ca
pable in his most sympathiz-
ing moods. But there was no
female there, SO we did i the
best we could, and invited the
the old man home to dinner
IT don't know what put it
into your heart to be SO kind
to me,' sobbed the poor old
man. "Old Uncle Billy isn't
use to it, and he. wiped the
tears from his eyes as he walk
ed along the street. m
| There was a silence for a
moment or two, and then he
heaved a deep sigh, pulled his
hat down over his eyes, and
the silence was broken! by him
I : "a s4
saying = 81 : f'iis' !
"Would I were in the grave.
I've nothing to live for now"
"Wife and children dead y
sYa-yaas,'' he gasped.
"All gone .t.s.
"How did it happens' we
inquired, as we filled up his
plate for the thirteenth time.
And then Uncle Billy told
his story he came from
Nebraska, and how he had
| been eaten out BY. the grass
| hoppers, and how he had seen
his wife waste away day BY
day, for the want of sufficient
food, until he-fnally had the
melancholy pleasure Of attend
ling her funeral, and how the
fgrasshoppers stopped the fu-
neral procession, broke open
the coffin, and chased him
across a forty acre lot. 4 i'H
