Coon ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN,
Young men, be busy. Don't throw
away the precious moments of vigorous
youth. Don't loiter about the streets
in idleness. Don't be out at night; for
if you are vice will overtake you. The
first little step in the path of error is
the biggest, longest and most fatal Of
all of them. Stay at home with your
parents and books. Look for some
thing to do; there is plenty of it every
where if you will but take hold.
1t is your duty to be industrious and
energetic. Life was not given you for
idle pleasure; it was given you that
you might improve yourself, glorify
God, bless your fellowmen with good
examples as we'll as good deeds. Re-
member that the errors of to-day can
never be corrected. The little fountain
that gushes out of the mountain-top
and hurries on to the great ocean can
not go back to its source and retrace
its steps. Like that little fountain you
are leaping down the hill of Time to
the great ocean of eternity. All along
the way of life there stands O sentinel
on either side, above and below, who
records your every thought, word and
deed. That these reports may be good,
make haste to improve every moment
OF life; make haste to be just, honest,
truthful and honorable in all things.
Go at it now. This is the time. This
is the most important moment of them
all, because it will be lost if not used
now.--Franklin (Ky.) Patriot.

Female Free MaSOns.

Recently the Observer. after referring
to the fact that the Hon. Mrs. Aids
worth is supposed to be the only female
Free Mason in the world, divulged the
fact that Mrs. B. b. Darlington, who
was at one time resident of this State,
was also member of the ancient and
honorable order. The ObSer1er's arti-
Gle has brought the Shelby aurora to
the front, and, in its issue OF yesterday,
the editor, Mr.. j. B. Darlington, writes
as follows: Inasmuch as the lady re-
ferred to in the above article is our
mother, we deem it our duty to re-
publish it and make the necessary cor
rections. The story is correct with
the exception of places and ages. The
lady's father was native of New York.
and moved to Greenup County, KY,
where our mother was born and raised.
The place where she was made Mason
was in an unfinished church room.
She secreted herself under the pulpit,
going in at an entrance from the side,
and was eventually discovered while
leaving her hiding place after the
lodge had adjourned. She was about
15 years old when she was made a
Mason and our father did not join the
order for nearly 20 years after they
were married. We do not belong to
the order, but we have it from men who
do that she is brighter in Masonry
than large number of men who have
passed to the third degree. Our
mother is still living, and is now in
Boyd County, KY. few miles from
where she was first initiated into the
mysteries of that ancient Order of Ma
sons. "-Charlotte IN. CO. Observer.

SEAsoNABLE ADVICE TO THE YOUNG.
The young man who was married at
some time during the past spring or
summer, and who has been so devoted
ever since, discovers the quality of his
affection fearfully strained when, hav-
ing turned out the gas, he jumps into
bed and finds his shivering form used
as hearthstone for her dear little feet,
whose touch suggests the sepulcher of
Sir John Franklin, and whose every
movement excites anew the miserable
husbands susceptibility to climatic
changes. But he should remember
that it is such episodes as these that
~ married soles, and it is the heroic
endurance OF these ills that set upon
the Benedict the mark of true nobility.
Let him suffer and lie still, and he will
have his reward in q hereafter where
all is warmth and sunshine, and where
there are none but angel feet, which,
it is generally conceded, are not of the
character that produces frigidity accom-,
panied by chills and shivers.-Iroy
Times.

Ne Hadn't Surrendered.


IsNftt s"efH'A.
The General withcrs OF Kentucky.
who has been in this city for day or
two lookng after some horses that o
man nan ed johnson attempted TO get
from him, tells the following good story:
withers was in the Confederate service.
and was second in command under
Psmbsrtou ct yicksburs. On that mem.
orabls 81 Of July, 1868, Pemberton
called q council OF war and stated to
them that Grant was going TO mako a
general assault along the whole line the
next day, and asked them what had bet.
ter be done. withers strongly objected
to surrendering. representing that they
could hold out until the 10th. The rest
OF the council agreed with him, and II
was decided not TO surrender. Withsrs
went of TO command his division. and
anticipating the attack. had his men un'
der arms. the gunners standing at their
guns and everything ready for action.
In the meantime Pemberton changed his
mind aud surrendered the city. The
first withsrs knew OF II Grants troops
were behind him in the city. and mes
senger arrived post haste to summon
the commanding officer Of that division
OF the army before Grant. So withers
rode down to the headquarters and there
found Grant In no very good humor.
He inquired what wiihsrs meant by
keeping his men under arms after the
city bad been surrendered. With-rs
responded tha, this was the first intima-
ton he had that the city had surrend-
cred. Haven't you been directed by
your superior officer to surrender your
command ?" said Grant. "No. said
withers. 81 haven't" "Thsu. Gen.
eral. said Grant. "you did just right
to keep your m-n under arms" and
with a quizzical look a, Psmberton. who
was standing near. he sent for refresh
ments. and they all took sugar in theirs
with immense gusto.

Death Of Mrs. Key.
Annoahcementis made in our obituary column
to-day Of the death Of Mrs. Maria L., reIiet Of the
late Hoh. II. g.. s. Key. Mrs. Key was the daagh-
Der Of the late Col. Joseph Harris and during her
married life and wsdowhood, which extended to
near hAlfa century, resided at Tudor Hall In our
village. Ufthe natural endOkments, cultivated in
tellecs, refined manners social and Christian life
az deceased, noae here need be told. Add she
was loved wherever she was known and espe-
eiaIly was she venerated by thepoOr. One Of her
own sex, neighbor and discriminating judge,
Who had known Mrs. Key intimately for as years,
speaking other since her death, said, that she
had never met life, exposed to the worlds
srials. more blameless in word or deed, nor had
she svss Ausd u the multitude Of harsh things
aid 81 others. An unkind word spoken Ofde-
ceased. Surely, IL is allowable TO believe, that's
life, active here in good, modelled like this, thus
guarded and guided, has entered upon the Rest
Of thn Redesmedi
