CHEERFUL WOMEN.

In marrying, men should seek happy
women. They make terrible mistake
when they marry for beauty, for talent
or for style. The sweetest wives are
those who possess the magic secret Of
being happy under any or every circum-
stance. Rich Or poor, high OR low, it
makes no difference the bright little
fountain of joy bubbles up just as mu
sically in their hearts. Nothing ever
goes wrong with them no trouble is too
serious for them to make the best of
it." Was ever the stream Of calamity
SO dark and deep that the sunlight of a
happy face across its turbid tide would
not awake an answering CLEAN? Why,
these joyous-tempered people don't
know half the good they do! No matter
how cross and Grabbed you feel, no mat
ter if your brain is full Of meditations
on "afhicting dispensations," and your
stomach with medicines, pills and tonics,
just get one Of those CHEEKY little women
talking to you, and we are not afraid to
wager anything that she can cure you.
The long-drawn line about your mouth
will relax, the cloud of settled gloom
viii vanish-nobody knows where
thefrst thing you know you are laughing.
All, what a blessing are those happy
women! How often their little hands
guide the ponderous machinery Of life
with an almost-invisible touch! No one
knows, no one will ever know until the
day of Judgment reveals how much we
owe to those hopeful, accomplishing,
happy womenl

GOLDEN WORDS.
Or all the appearances Of the human

Or all the appearances of the human
countenance, methinks SMILE is the
most, extraordinary. It plays with Q
surprising agreeableness in the eye,
breaks out with the brightest distinc-
ton, and sits like glory upon the
countenance. What sun is there within
us that shoots his rays with SO sudden
vigor? To see the soul fash in the face
at this rate one would think would con-
vert an atheist. By the way, we may
observe that smiles are much more be-
coming than frowns. This seems q
natural encouragement to good humor;
as much as to say, if people have mind
to be handsome, they must not be peev-
ish and untoward. Jeremy Collier.
The cheerfulness of heart which
springs up in us from The survey of
natures works is an admirable prepara-
ton for gratitude. The mind has gone
great waya toward praise and thanks
giving that is filed with such secret
gladness grateful reflection on the
Supreme Cause who produces it sancti-
fes the soul, and gives it its proper
value. Such an habitual disposition of
mind consecrates every field and wood,
turns an ordinary walk into a morning
or evening. sacrifice, and will improve
those transient CLEANS OF JOY, which nat
urally brighten up and refresh the soul
on such occasions, into an inviolable
and perpetual state of bliss and happi-
ness.:--Addison.
THERE is much variety even in Great
ures Of the same kind. See, there are
two snails one hath house the other
wants it. Yet, both are snails, and it is
a question whether case is the better !;
that which hath house hath more
shelter, but that which wants it hath
more freedom. The privilege Of that
cover is but burden; you see if it has
but stone to climb over, with what
stress it draws up that beneficial load,
and, if the passage proves strait, finds
no entrance; whereas, the empty snail
finds no difference Of way. Surely it is
always an ease and sometimes happi-
ness to have nothing; no man is SO
worthy Of envy as he that is cheerful in
want.-BSshop Hall.

a sURE ENDING.

Gerwork must inevitably end in the
victims breakdown there is NO way of
preventing this except by seasonable
rest. Yet men work while ON the very
brink Of q collapse. 1 knew Cd a lawyer
who was in a great rush Of business.
Heehked his fees, but, Like all men who
succeed, he liked business thoroughly
for its own sake. he was unable to re-
fuse business, and, indeed, to refuse,
business is the hardest trial which can
happen to any professional man. His
mistake was that he did not provide
himself with adequate assistance. The
n-treated brain took to softening, and
then all business came to an end. I
knew of man who was enormously
wealthy. In addition to the constant
employment which his own vast proper
ty gave him, he was trustee for ever so
many widows and orphans and chart
ties. He worked hard at accounts till
the small hours In the morning. He
would not hire clerk, because he pre-
ferred to do his work himself. Presently
he died in harness, leaving the wealth
he did not know how to enjoy to others.
A successful novelist once told the writer
that he was going to take six weeks
holiday at the seaside. was rejoiced
to hear it. No man better deserved or
nore required such holiday. Then
he told me that he was going to take his
new book with him to the seaside, and
hoped to have it ready for publication
by the time his holiday was over ex-
postulated with him. I Explained that
he was only exchanging one kind Of
hard work for still harder kind Of hard
work. But he disregarded the advice.
and died before the book was published.

THE PRIDE OF Il CHILD.

A st. Louis paper tells touching
story of school life. It illustrates both
the longing Of children to appear as well
as their schoolmates and the mental
srlfferings incident to poverty. In one
of the st. Louis public schools many of
the children who came from a distance
were accustomed to bring lunch, and
thus save long walk home for dinner.
They generally ate it together and had a
merry time.
Among those who stopped one Of the
teachers noticed little girl who never
brought any lunch, but who looked
wistfully at her playmates as they were
eating the noon meal. But one day the
girl brought her bundle also, wrapped in
paper. At noon she did not go with the
others, but remained at her desk as if
preferring to eat alone.
The teacher, thinking her unsocial,
advised her to go to the lunch room with
her playmates, and walked toward the
desk to take her bundle. But the little
girl, bursting into sobs, said
"Don't touch it, teacher; and oh,
teacher, don't tell, please. It's only
blocks"
The poor girl had no dinner to bring,
but wished to keep UP appearances, y
so as not to seem unlike her school
mates. And she was one Of the best
scholars in the school. She was very
dear to the teachers heart after that In

KEEP ON THE FARM.

In these dull times, when scores of
young men are out Of employment and
others are crowding in from other places
seeking for so-called ssgenteel " situa-
tons, it is well to give wide publicity to
such facts as are set forth in the follow
ing extract from the New York Journal
Of Commerce: One Of the great prob
lens Of our day, too little discussed by
those who have the ear of the public
through the press or at the forum, is to
furnish the young men Of this generation
with remunerative employment. The
professions are all over-crowded. The
shopkeepers are by far too numerous.
Agencies Of all kinds are SO multiplied
that the occupants tread ON each others
toes and are bore and nuisance to the
general public. Clerks out Of employ
ment and willing to serve for pittance
ere to be reckoned by their tens Of thou
sands. Bookkeepers with hungry eyes
are reading the advertisement Lists in the
vain hope of an opening for their appi-
cations. Collectors, messengers, door
keepers, watchmen, conductors, and the
great variety Of others already expert,
seeking employment in kindred caIlings,
are anxiously waiting for some one to
engage them. Every possible form Of
ervice that can be reckoned in the List
Of genteel occupations is eagerly sought
after by the multitudes who have no
other provision for their daily needs.
The men who have been trying to live

bench or in the field of these the soil
offers the most accessible and at first the
most remuneratiye employment The
mass of the unemployed must seek sus-
tenence from the bosom of mother
earth. Land is cheap, and there is a
wide area that awaits the tiller. The
back may ache and the skin blister In
the sun, but the bread can be made
without fear of failure if the hborer
will be faithful to his calling. It needs
less wisdom and forethought than patient
industry, and the man with common
mind may eat his harvest IN peace.

At RAILROAD SPEED.

M. Capoul, now I Paris, says of rail-
way travel in this country: American
railways are not at all Like ours. Imagine
immense vehicles in which people move
to and fro as if they were in houses;
people promenade in them, eat in them,
sleep in them. You may easily imagine
the consequences Of this system Of hav
cling. tits impossible to tell how many
marriages are patched together in these

HER-c0URTING DAYS.

Chow it does remind me of my
counting days!" exclaimed Mrs. Good
ington, remarking the blush that the
delicately-turned compliment of Ara
minta's young man had brought to the
girls cheek. 'sIn those ballard days,
when I was young and percepible, how
frustrated I used to feel when Daniel
paid me condiment, as he always was
doing! Yes" she continued, stopping
to brush off the tear that trembled at
the tip of her attenuated nose. stDaniel
was one of a thousand. And he never
changed during all Of our years of patri-
nony." ~

The smallest lovers on earth were
united at the altar at Odessa, three
weeks ago. The Marquis, native
Of Kiel, is 80 years old, and weighs only
nineteen pounds, while his fairy-like
consort, a young lady, born in Neu-
munstet some two-and-twenty years ago,
just turns the scale at thirteen pounds.
At first glance this tiny pair. it is said,
might be taken for couple Of scarcely
weaned babies, dressed up for joke In

SHERRARD CLEMENS, who died in q
st. Louis hospital o few days ago, was
notable figure in the politics of twenty
years ago. He represented a Virginia
district in the Thirty fifth apd Thirty
sixth Congresses, and was one Of the
most promising orators of his day. In
1856 he fought a duel with O. Jennings
Wise, son Of Henry A. Wise, receiving
wound that famed him for life. Wise,
who was also man of brilliant talents,
edited the Richmond Enquirer, and lived
to be killed in the Confederate service,
at Roanoke Island. Clemens never for
gave himself for his part in the duel,
being at heart opposed to that method
of settling disputes. The last years of
his life were passed in obscurity.

THE COUNTY FAIR
To Open Next Thursday for
Five Days.

A LEDGER representative in COM
pany with Mr.. j. P. Prescott visited
the fair grounds yesterday and noted
the preparations in progress and spent
several hours very pleasantly. The
roads were found in good condition
and the air of activity on the
grounds, indicated a determination
on the part Of the management to
make the fair a credit to our city and
county, and a success. The grounds
and buildings now belong to the
Shelby County Grange association.
All necessary repairs have been made,
and whitewash applied until the fences
aud walls are d~azzlingly white.
Everything was found in good order,
and a number of our leading mer-
chants and manufacturers have
already secured space and placed
specimens of goods there to
indicate what is to come. The exhi
bition will admirably supplement the
thanksgiving occasion of last month,
which brought so many people to the
city.
At this fair it will be demonstrated,
not only hal Memphis is the only
commercial center within several hun
dred miles, but that Shelby county,
outside of the city, has vast agricul-
tural resources, and hat cotton
growing is not the only profit.
able pursuit of our farmers and
grangers. No part Of the country
can exhibit a greater variety of pro.
duets. Between the two extremes of
the planter with his broad acres and
the vegetable gardner with his rich
profitable patch, we have the small
farmer, the fruit grower, poultry fen
cier, stock raiser and other classes Of
producers who add to the common
wealth and prosperity OF the commu-
Dity. All these We hope will be rep
resented at the county fair which
opens Tuesday October the 18th
aud will continue five days.
Major Dick Mason was in his glory
yesterday. lie had a royal dinner for

Mary and Mr., Darrell were the sue
cessful bidders for the leading privi-
leges. Good prices were realized aud

visitors came home in q good hqmar.
The programme will attract nearly all
classes. A fine list Of premiums is
offered, and the attendance will, no
doubt, be large each day. 1t will be

late every industry and interest in
