Letter from MRS. Rev. w. w. Cook.

Editor Herald:
Please allow me a email space in your
most excellent paper in regard to the
affections ofmy husband. After leaving
Hartford we went to Grayson Springs
and was received very kindly by Ca plain
Vanmeter and his kind wife, and they
did all that was in their power to render
US comfortable and pleasant during our
stay with them. We remained there
nearly two weeks, aud husband finding
the water did not agree with his
stomach, but rather disadvantage; con
sequently he grew-weaker every day, and
tor two days feared he would die from
vomiting, as he yomited blood. lie sug-
gested that we go to Sebree City and try
the chalybeate water, and we arrived here
last Thursday. and, finding no accommo
datlons near the springs, we were com
PEELED to remove several miles out in the
country to find suitable boarding place
for sick person, and have the water
brought in jugs to him. lie thinks he
has improved some within the last two
days, but whether it will be permanent
or not | can not tell. but hope and trust
this water will relieve him. At times I
have but very little grounds for hopa.
and feel utterly discouraged, he at this
time is Frustrated on his bed and not
able TO get up without assistance, and
the weather being 70 intensely warm
Many Of his old friends and acquaint-
ances call to see him, and sympathize
and try TO speak words of cheer, but We
have found no friends more kind than the
good people OF the Hartford circuit, Of
which husband so often speaks Of with
tears Of gratitude, for which we have
nothing to return but our sincere thanks. |
Believing the All>wise One will bless
Them for their kindness to us during the |
Affections OF my husband, we will ever
cherish in our memory their kindness
while life lasts. II the good Lord is
willing. and husband is able 70 travel. we
will return to Hartford Thursday before

meeting, which is to come off the second

here, his brethren may know he is not

The farmers in this part OF the country
have begun to thresh their wheat, aud il
is thought by a great many that there
will not be more than twO-thirds of a
crop. Messrs. Lewis, Ezell & Co. have
their thresher in good order. and are do
ing as good work as any other thresher
can do in the county. There is but a
small crop Of tobacco out in this part OF
the county. Corn looks we'll.
Business has been very good here for
the last two or three weeks considering
the hard times. J. Raley & Son are
selling a great many goOGs. We have

stores, one family grocery, one bar room,

| The lesson intended for the especial
benefit OF "my young man." seems tC
have had a salutary effect, and the
slang phrases in his conversation, like
ugly bOulders in limpid stream, nc
longer ripples the surface to mar the
beauty of its even flow. Indeed,
would think him perfect, ifI could in.
duce him to break himself of the habit
of profanity. Tis true he does not
swear in my immediate presence, but
it is nevertheless wrong, and does not
in the least detract from the coarse
ness and ill-breeding of his otherwise
genuemanly manners. Some girls
think they can easily wean their loves
from chronic bad habits after marriage.
l have Outlived such silly notions, and
observation has taught me it is better
to have them perfect to commence with,
and it will be all we can do to keep
them so afterward. Men are naturally
prone to retrogade after marriage. Re-
ceiving the reward Of their hopes
ambition-they seem to care little for
future improvement, having no fear of
matrimonial difficulties to stimulate
them, they mechanically wander back
to their youthful vices, which often
grew in volume and strength as the
man grows in years, until he i, crushed
by the load he has so willingly volun-
teered to carry. Although l now have
the opportunity of changing my lot as
an old maid for that of a bride, l am
almost tempted to discard his further
advances, for fear the realities in view
may magnify the possibilities yelled
by the future.
He has asked me for my photograph,
that he may always have the dear
image of myself next bis faithful heart
to encourage and strengthen him in
his love. Now, if he should be like
some other young men whom l have
known. indeed, l should be mortified |
to know my picture was daily made
the subject of light criticism, sarcastic
and inelegant remarks by a set of
rakish young men who are the boon
companions of my young man, and
regularly compare notes of their prog
ress with "my girl" OH the street corn
ers and in the saloons. hardly think
il proper to present young gentlemen
with photographs. only in extreme
exceptional cases, and as l have not
yet reached that extremity when l
