when to Pop.

Young men contemplating marriage have
so frequently called upon US to advise them
in the manner of popping the allimportant
question that we have concluded to give our
opinion once for all. Never propose to a
young lady after hearty meal The blood
is needed to aid digestion, and her imagina-
ton is chilled. Nor should it come just be-
fore q meal, for the longings of an impor.
tuned system conduce to anxiety and ir-
ritability, and the shock may prove hazardous
It would be better to select the evening, and
invite her to some entertainment which you
know she wants to attend, and then propose
to her just as she is ready to start This will
be greatly to your advantage, for she will
easily see that a rejection will upset an even
ing's amusement.

The young man was evidently honest in
his intentions, but three years of constant
counting had failed to overcome his excessive
bashfulness. They are sitting in chairs at
respectable distance apart. Said the young
man, having spent five minutes in search of
subject:
"How do you get along with your cook
ing" ,
7.Nicely," replied the young miss; ''l'm
improving wonderfully. l can make splendid
cake, now."
''Can you?' said the young man in a
pleased manner; "What kind do you like
best?"
Il like one made with flour and sugar and
citron and raisins and currents, and lots of
those things, and beautiful frosting on top" :"
responded the young miss.
''Why that's wedding CAKE" exclaimed
the yo ung man, nervously.
Il meant wedding" said the young miss,
shyly.

Many of the ills and diseases prevalent
among women in our days are, no doubt,
traceable to the sedentary mode of life so
modern industrial art has done away with
much of the household drudgery to which
women were formerly subjected, and the re-
suit is in too many cases want of sufficient
occupation for needed bodily exercise. The
fruits of this state of things are striking]y
exhibited in certain observations made by the
late Mr.. Robertson, Manchester surgeon,
who in his practice as a specialist for wo'
mems diseases found that in women who
performed all their household work there was
no trace of certain complaints; that these
complaints begin to make their appearance
in women with one servant, become more
pronounced in women who have two servants
or, worse still, with those who have three
servants and so on. He showed statistically
that the deaths from childbirth were four
times greater in the case of women with four
servants than those with none.

1t is given out that ladies will wear vests
precisely like the gentemen's this winter.
When married man goes to bed he will
have to put chalk-mark on his vest, or
next morning he may slip on his wife's and
not discover his mistake until he inserts his
thumb and forefnger in the right-hand pock-
ct for pinch of fine-cut, and finds nothing
but piece of chewing gum and the stub of
short black lead pencil Then he will sud-
denly remember that there was q roll of ten
dollar greenbacks in the left-hand pocket OF
his vest, that is, if he is an editor, he will,
and he will rush back home in Rarus time.

A certain little girl uptown lived with two
aunts, one married, with whole lot of child
ren, and lots Of worry and bother, and the
other single, and having quite comfortable
time teaching school. The child had con-
trasted the respective situations, but was not
old enough to understand the difference in
the position of her two relatives. One day
she threw her doll aside, and assumed an at
titude of profound thought, which was inter-
rupted at last by the question, sWell, Julia,
what are you thinking about?" When the
child let loose ten-acre lot full of crude
philosophy by answering: II was finkin
whevver, when growed up, I'd teat stool or
have baby!"

cents; for Chrisl's sake, help!
'.For an instant we hesitated-and who
would not ?-then fastened to the body and
removed the covering. There was no aitera-
ton in its pallor and rigidity, but we per-
ceiyed that the lips, from which faint MUIR
muir was issuing, trembled slightly. Here
our instincts conquered our weakness.
Whatever the mystery involved in the mat
ter, human being was struggling to regain
existence, and our impulse was to AID With
out question. A powerful restorative was
administered, and, before many moments
had passed, we saw the color coming BACK 10
the wan cheeks and the sunken musclss re-
shaping themselves with the current OF warm
blood. Then, with a faint sigh, the eyes
opened and gazed at US inquiringly. In
word, gentlemen, the dead was restored TO
life.
1T is needless to detail what followed. In
the meeting which occurred between these
two poor young creatures, we felt ourselves
more than repaid for the startling experiences
of the previous night 1t can do no harm to
add that we claimed and exercised the right
of securing their future prosperity out OF our
ample means. We learned no more OF their
former history than that the prosecution OF
those whose wishes their marriage had op-
posed, had driven them to hide their poverty
and misfortune in the wilderness. We have
heard of them since.
''The young man, as we discovered on
questioning him, remembered nothing OF his
sensations while unconscious, except vague,
dream-like, and yet intense sorrow for his
young wife. He had no knowledge whatever
of the voice which had addressed US, and ap-
peared to believe that he had labored under
temporary suspension of animation arising
from starvation. We did not combat his be-
lief. for we supposed that he was actually
dead, and that he only returned to life through
his great love. Who will deny that love is
stl cnger than death, and that it goes with US
even beyond the grave pm. Y. Times.

OBITUARY.

Died-Oct. 18th, at 1 o'clock, a. IN.
Mrs Bette b. Jones, cOnsort of j. H.
Jones and daughter Of Thomas New
bill.
Sister Jones was born Sept "a,
1852. At about eighteen ye-rs Of
age she professed religion, and soon
afterwards joined the McLemoresyille
Baptist church, and ever afterwards
lived the life of a consistent christian.
She was married Jan oath, 1878, and
actel her part well as dutiful and
affectionate wife. Sister Bette was
known and loved by large circle of
admirers, friends and relatives: in fact
none ever knew her but 70 love her;
and while this dispensation of an All
Wise Providence bears with great
weight upon our hearts, we will endea>
vor to feel resigned, knowing that
though the loss to us is severe, yet it
is gain to her. Though of few
words and very quiet in her manner,
she did not fear to speak to her friends
and especially her now sorrowing
husband of the comforts of the reli~
gion of Jesus.
We have her words and example to
guide us in future life in the path
which she trod; and which will lead
US unto everlasting life. FRIEND.

death is a calamity which will long be
felt, and always deeply deplored. His
ear was never deaf to the voice of
distress, and his hand ever ready to
assist some weaker brother. The af>
ficted family had barely time to real
ize their terrible brreavment, when
they received a second blow, IN the
death of his little son Johnnie, love
" patient child; who was the victim
of the same fell disease. Every true
and loyal heart will bleed for that sore
" distressed household, to whom at
this trying moment word consolation
must seem but a bitter mockery. Sor-
row like theirs must claim its hour.
But the Almighty One whose pitying
eye looks down Oil natures agony
He too has wept and to those stricken
hearts His merciful hand shall bring
celestial healing. a FRIEND.

but when l got within 80 yards of the
door, two or three colored women and
men gathered their little children,
hats, &C., and made across cotton
field that was white with cotton when
they FIRST started across it, but after
they had COTTON across. am sorry to
say. it all lay on the ground. Get
ting into our buggy we continued on
down In the direction of Wrights
Chapel, passing certain house where
we thought two young ladies of Milan
were stopping, my companion was
puzzled as to how he could see them.
He suggested that we drive beyond a
certain brid dge and return, leaving the
impression that We had been to preach
ing, this we did, arriving at the house,
we came to halt and called at the
top of our voice; it was no hard mat
ter to make them here. for we suppose
they had been watching our move
ments. A lady opened the door about
six inches and my companion inquir-
ed if Miss was there. No sir,
she has gone, and the door shut, leav-
ing US to ponder what other steps to
take. We soon found out it was best
for US to leave those regions, which we
did rapidly; not forgetting to sprinkle
n little carbolic acid, along the road
to assist in keeping yellow jack out Of
the country.
We then proceeded out the McLe-
moresville road; had not gone far
when we met our friend NJ. l.. Baird
on his way to town he giving us some
information as to our route, and we
assuring him that there Vas no fever
in Milan. We then passed on and
soon came upon the camp, where our
young friends, Hardy Deshong, Bry-
ant Newhouse and Henry McCarley
were stopping. We found all at home
and some company, Mess. VIM New
house and VIM Coley being there.
They seemed glad to see US, but we
noti ,e.they kept a respectable distance
from us. We then proceeded on to-
wards the camp of Mess. Davie q
Chambers, Mr. Wm Newhouse kindly
showing MS the way. We journeyed
along, but soon found ourselves at the
residence of a lady friend of ours;
soon the young lady came out, and
kindly inviting us in assuring us that
they were not afraid of the fever, we
thanked her, but we had to 60 to the
camp of Dayie ~ Chambers, MILAN
refugees, at New Hope; we suggested
that she should go with us, she kind
lv consented. The writer then assist
ed her in the buggy. We all then
started, (the writer not having more
room than he wanted) an soon ar
rived at our destination. Z.
