A Fly Story.

The Anderson, S. c., Journal,
says: We arc informed on the most
reliable authority Of the following re.
markable incident: Last week a little
white girl, living with Mrs. Joe. Ne
vile, of Walhalla, felt disagreeable
buzzing in her ear, when Mrs. Neville
undertook 10 relieve itby pouring in
few drops Of sweet oil. When this
was done n common house fly made its
appearance from the orifice Of the car
and it was followed by others until
siXty-four came out by actual count.
Being covered with oil, the flies were
assisted out with feather, but how
came them there is the question.

The Hood Orphans.

The Columbus Enquirer sees it
stated that the children Of Gen. Io-
seph Wheeler, in North Alabama, are
preparing an extra fine bale of cotton,
which will be sent to New York to
be sold for the benefit of General
Hoods orphans. Brass ties and
heavy cotton duck have been ordered
from Nashville to put it up with.
This is generous expression Of sym.
pathy, and just such one as might
have been expected from children
whose father was as true and brave
rs theirs, and who was friend and
comrade Of the gallant Hood.

The Family Circle.

If there is any hond in life that
ought to be sacredly guarded from
everything that can put it in peril, it
is that which unites the members of
family. If there be spot upon
earth from which strife should be
banished, it is the fireside. There
centre the fondest hopes and The ten
derest affections.
How lovely the spectacle presented
by that family which is governed by
the right spirit! Each strives 10
avoid giving offence, and is studious-
ly considerate of the others happi.
ness. Sweet, loving dispositions are
cultivated by all and each tries to
surpass the other in his efforts for
the common harmony. Each heart
glows with love and the bencdiction
OF heavenly peace seems to abide
upon that dwelling with such power
that no black fiend of passion can
rear his head within it.
Who would not realize this lovely
picture? 1t may he realized by all
who will employ the appointed means.
Let the prccepts Of the Gospel be ap.
piled as they are designed to be, ana
they will be found TO shed holy
charm upon the family circle, and
make it what God designed it should
be, the most hcaven.like scene on
earth.

Faithful.

In the list Of deaths from yellow
fever ut Memphis, are the names Of
T.. T.. Marshall and Mrs. Jane Marsh
all, his wife. The circumstances at
tending their death form one of the
most singular incidents Of the epidcm-
ic. They were both taken down about
the same time, and died within
half hour of each other. During their
illness they refused admission ,u the
doctors and nurses sent them, and
took no medicine at all. They were
prepared COR burial at the same time,
and borne TO their last resting place
together. The funeral presented
spectacle that would have touched
the most callous observer. The pro
cession consisted of the two hcarses
and an empty carriage following.
There was not single mourner-no
one to shed tear over the two who
had loved each other SO we'll that
death had no terrors for them if they
could die together. Hand in hand
they had trod the pathway of welded
life; and then passed "Through the
dark gate to that beyond which no
man knows"

Second MARRIAGES.

The subject of step-mothers having
provoked many ef'usions from the
members Of the Household" in the
Detroit Free Press, one of the writer's
sums up the questions as follows
"As rule, second marriages are as
happy rs first. AS rule, second
wives are far better thnn first wives,
and in support Of my views, give the
following reasons: Second marriages
are made with more care for the po-
sition and relation to be occupied
than the first; and although the love
may not he so ardent, the tenderness,
care and consideration arc greater.
Many young man, for his wife, ,marr;-
ed pretty face, beautiful dancer, and
found TO his sorrow that that was all
he had married, except, perhaps, an
invalid; or worse, incompetent, or
worse still, vain, insolent creature
for wife. But in second marriage
these things are looked after, conse-
quently are more suitable, more har-
monious, and fewer divorces or fami-
ly quarrcls. Second wives fare bet
ter than first. A man who has lost
n good wife will be altogether more
careful and considerate of second.
The time spent In caring for the
sick the death ; the sorrow the time
for reflection, all have tendency TO
mako the heart more tender and con-
sldcrate for q second wife.

College Of Music, Is years Of age,
whose home is at Bonapartc, Iowa,
was engaged TO be married to Mr..
Fred. NJ. Fcrriman. AT l n. m. on

George attended him faithfully during
his illness, and before he died she
said: "Good-bve, we will not be
separated long" Yesterday fore
noon, at her boarding house, 31l

and fired. There is very little hope
Of her recOvery.-N. Y. Sun.

Revenge Is Sweet.

A strange and terrible revenge was
recently taken by n discarded lover
in Indiana. He was about thirty
years of age, and had been indnstri-
ously courting girl of fifteen, but
when he came to pop the question he
was contemptuously rejected, the girl
saying that he was old enough to be
her father. Upon that hint lie acted,
for the girls mother was buxom
widow Of only thirty-five, and he
speedily transferred his court to her.
Their marriage soon followed, and
now the younger lady finds that her
eX-iover is her stcp-father. She
thought it was funny until The couple
returned from their wedding tour,
and then tho newly-madc stcpfather
said to her "My daughter, you ale
too fond Of beaux. Nice young men,
ice-cream and buggy rides are not
proper luXuries for a little girl like
you. am old enough to be your
father, and, what's more, I am. Go
up stairs, take off that there silk
dress, get ready for school, and don't
let me hear beax or buggy, ice
cream or nice young man from you
for ut least three years." And now
that young lady is retired in calico
and study, vainly repcnting her rash
ness, and finding out by dire expert
encc that lover scorned can be ones
worst enemy, especially when he be-
comes q step father.

Our Jury System.

The grand jury of Fairfield County,
in its report to the Circuit Court, mas
this to say about the present system
OF trial by jury: "We honestly be-
lieve that new law is now needed.
Under the present system one william
upon jury is equal TO eleven honest
men, and may in all cases even Of
the most fragrant nature. defeat the
ends Of justice and run the county to
endless expense by making mistrials
from term TO term. II sixteen jurors
were drawn, with twelve to agree,
the difficulty might be remedicd, and
without some change we fear that
trial by jury, as at present practiced,
although the boastcd bulwark Of civ
ilization, will be brought into ridi-
cule." This relates to n matter Of
very great concern to the people at
large, and tue change herein suggest
ed is of no small Importance. 1t
would completely revolutionize the
old method Of trial by jury, which we
have been taught to believe from
time out Of mind is the great bulwark
of civilization, and the question arises,
would the defect OF the present sys-
tenn he rcmedied by The contemplated
change? This is question which
we will refer TO the calm judgment
and careful consideration Of our Leg
isiature.-Geo'yetoavn Times and Co.

Fear Not.

Last night, while sailing on the sea,
The tender moon looked down on me.
And seemed to write upon the tide
This legend strange, in letters wide:
Tho storms be rude, fear not. fear not,
For God hath never yet forgot"
A storm came down. and reckless bore
Our groaning bark from shore TO shore.
Ere long, upon the inky main.
That same sweet legend shone ae ain:
Tho storms he rude, fear not. fear not.
For God hath never yet forgot"
So tho my soul be troubled now,
And tempest bid my courage bow,
Still Will chant the sky-b0rn hymn
read upon the waters dim:
Tho storms be rude. fear not, fear not
For God hath never vet forgot"

a Model Rat Killer.

One day tramp walked into
bArroom out West, and, representing
himself as the champion rat-killer of
the States, told the proprietress that,
it, consideration of u good dinner, he
would destroy every rat upon the
premises. TO this she readily con-
sentcd, as the house was indeed ter
ribly infested with the vcrmin. The
tramp was marshuled into the dining
room and enough eatabes were set
before him for three ordinary men,
which he went through IN double
quick time he then smacked his lips
and called for something to drink TO
wash the fool down. The landlady
gave him flask of "old rye" and by
the time that *ss gene he declared
himself satisfied and said: Snow,

she was getting rid of the rats, sho

Lost Things.

There are great many things lost
that are found again, and a great
many things that are lost and never
found. There are regulations lost
which cannot be regained; +; there are
hopes lost, which come not back
again there are joys and friendships
lost there are thoughts and talents
lost which are never found. Every
man has at some time lost something,
which he would give the world, if it
were his, TO recover. 1t may have
been but a single pearl from the
thread Of friendship, or a mere hope
Of his soul, but it was previously
dear to him, md life is sad and dark
without it. The smallest things arc
oftentimes the dearest to the heart of
o man, as for instance q little wife, q
little home, etc. What wonder then
that when they arc possessed nothing
could induce him to give them up.

Origin of Dixie.

The Baltimore Gazette says=: Some
years ago, long before the war a.very5
musical family by the name Of Dixie,
lived in Worcester, Mass. Quo of
the brothers, Walston Dixie, we be- !
lieVe, decided to apply his taleats>in. :
the negro minstrelsy line, and soon,
the famous Dixie MINISTRIES wsret
known from one end Of the country.
to the other. This same foundersofb
the troupe wrote the. celeBrAsseeff>
song, "Dixie's Land" which attain
eel such great popularity. 1t .waas
verify the land for him, as he found
in the Southerns States the germs of
the quaint negro songs, which lie
brushed up and placed in his pro-
gramme.- The South adopted the
song and hence allowed this gifted
uinstrel of Massachusetts to give
that section Of the country n new
name, which will always stick.
Many Songs were adopted and sec
tionalized in this way. Our own
"Iankee Doodle" was written by an
Englishman MS a satire, but our an
esctors picked it up and gave it
home.

The Courtship of BIanuui.

The courtship and marriage of Nj i.
Blanqui, the French revolutionist, are
SAID to have been very romantic.
When only nineteen he became a tu-
tor in an aristocratic family living
near Toulouse. He fell in love with
a young lady also residing in the cha
teau, but she was wealthy and he did
not venture to disclose his devotion.
For six years he remained silent,
when Mt last she discovered his feel
ing, and, returning it, became his
wife. Six years afterwards she died
Blanqui still wears mourning for her.
In 1913, at the Radical club lie pre-
sided over, he never took off the
black gloves lie habitually wore.
These produced curious effect when
he used gestures to emphasize any
remarks he made in his somewhat
shrill voice. These gloves are Of a
peculiar make, and come high up the
wrist like those of lady. The rea-
son for this sipgularity is that the de-
termined conspirator still wears on
his wrist the bracelet of her he loved
and still mourns.

In the ncighborhood where once
lived man and his wife were almost
constantly quarreling. During their
quarrels an only child was generally
present, and of course had got many
of his fathers expressions. One day
when the boy had been doing some
thing wrong, the mother, intending to
chastise him called him and said !:
"Come here, sir ; what did you do that
for" The boy complaceptly folding
his arms and initiating his fathers
manner replied: "Sce here, madam,
l don't wish to havo any words with
you"

The Old Folks.

DO young people ever think they
viii DC old they will SOON feel that
the grasshopper is burden and fear
is in the way? Only few short
years ago that aged man and feeble
woman were young, strong and
full Of life; their loving hearts were
gushing with tenderness and care for
the little ones who now stand in their
places. Do not jostle that aged
couple out of your pathway, but rath-
er lift them with tender care over the
rough, declining road. You may
have forgotten how they kept your
tender feet from stumbling, and with
care they watched your advancing
steps. But they have not forgotten,
and the time will come when you will
be foicibly reminded Of it, by the
love you have for your own little ones.
Will they hand you the same bitter
cup TO drink that you put out for that
aged father and stricken mother
Verify, "with what measure yc mcte,
it shall be measured to you again. ."
Think of the anxious days and nights
your mother has watched by your
sick bed remember her loving care
her patience and long suffering with
your fretfulness, and then let tho
blush of shame dye your brow, that
you should be impatient or unkind to
her now that she is old. Old folks
are such trial Yes, they know it
they feel it and so will you he sncll
trial to your children in the days
that will surely come aye, and you
will remember, too!

An Enquiry Answered.

Editor OranyeJury Democrat:
see in the Times of last week,
IN inquiry from "a Forker," want
ing to know why it is that the Barn
well and Colleton boys all come to
Orangeburg for wives, while none OF
the Orangeburg boys ever go to
Barnwell or Colleton in search. OF
better halves. In reply 1 will state,
for the benefit of "a Forker," that
he Is not posted and knows nothing
Of that which he writes. / know one
family Of seven sons, four Of wLom
got wives in Barnwell County. and
one more Of the same family that will
soon do likewise. Now, "Forker,"
can tell you why the boys in Barn
well come TO Orangeburg for wives.
They know that n prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country.
1t is not because Barnwell has no
pretty girls in her territory. think
"Forkcr" had better get the position
Of census-taker and in that way he
could investigate the matter, and he
will find TO his surprise that ten times
rs many boys go TO Barnwell for
wives rs come to Oiangeburg from
Barnwell, and the reason is simply
this, the Orangeburg boys are SO,
good looking that the Barnwell BOYS
don't stand any chance when we put

Stop My PAPER

Some people think that the way to
make an editor view matters as thew
do, and force him into measures when
things don't suit him, is to order him
in most peremptory manner to
"stop my paper!" 1t invariably fol-
lows also, that such men, after dis
continuing their subscription, 90
about the streets and predict all
sorts Of calamities to befall the pa
per. sit can't live," and such like
expressions. But we have a conso-
lation. In case of this kind-and
we can call upon the fraternity for
of what we assert the
editor, no matter how mnch he NAV
be abused, almost always lives to at
tend the funeral and writes the obitu-
ary of all such people. Those who
think they can control newspapers for
only a few dollars year, take warn
ing.
