The Twins Dark Birthday.

1t was the morning Of the twins
tenth birthday, May 10, 1880, and
they were sitting together on the door
stone finishing their breakfast of por-
ridge and milk, into which aspoon.
full OF molasses had been stirred in
honor of this anniversary,
'Gransl' was doing in the Chin
ney corner in the large kitchen be-
hind them their mother sat close to
the eastern window spinning thread
for Paul's coat Keturah, the maid,
was in the pantry skimming milk ;
Oliver, the man, was in the field plow-
ing with the two oxen, Star and
Bright and their father was in the
army, fighting bravely and hopefully.
The children had blue eyes and
straw -colored halr of the same shade,
and when they stood up against the
kitchen door to be measured one mark
always served for both of them; but
here the resemblance ended, for Pati.
ence was strong and rosy, while Paul
was weak and pale.
1T rained little this morning, said
Paul, tasting his porridge with his
pewter spoon, 'and it thundered before
l was awake
'How did you know it when you
were asleep I? asked Patience, showing
the dimples in both cheeks.

1T must be early replied Patience,
glancing up at the cloudy sky. The
sun hasn't risen yet, and the clock

whose hands pointed to q quarter Of

Suddenly there was an exclamation
from the pantry and the sound o.
breaking earthenware.

FRUIT PRospRcTs.-We yesterday talk
ed TO quite number OF farmers in attend.
ance at the Second Ward market in re.
gard to the prospects OF good yield Of
fruits OF various kinds In this section this
year. All united in saying that at the
same time last week appearances were
much more favorable than now. The
prospects were then fair for an almost IN.
precedented crop Of peaches. But the Sc.
we're cold weather and frosts OF the latter
part Of this week have had damaging,
not to say fatal effect upon the bloom.
The black, wilted appearance OF the bios
SONS on Tuesday morning gave conclu.
sive proof that the fruit germs were Ell.
iectually done for. Taking this view OF
the matter, the peach crop Of next fall
will be total iailureS and thisis, in effect,
the view taken by all with whom we
talked. In regard to other fruit, there
seems TO be more hope. in the opinion OF
those who have had an opportunity to OBJ.
serve. Nothing can be definitely predict.
ed In regard tothe abundance OF the yield,
owing to the fact that the buds are not far
advanced, and for the same reason the ap.
pie and other buds are not hurt.
Wheat, and grain in general, is said to
be In q most magnificent condition for
this time Of yearin this immediate section
oil country. One man said he had field
OF six acres that was going to give better
crop OF wheat than had ever come under
his personal observation. Others also pre-
dict Ia profitable year for grain all around.
A very general hope Is expressed that the
harvest may prove as prosperous, II not
more so, than that OF last year.

Another site Proposed.

Editors fntslnIsnser.
Having noticed in your columns from
time to time tho question where shall
the soldiers monument be erectedP de.
sire to present for consideration, one
place not yet mentioned publicly, SO far
as ] am aware, viz, the old Athaneum
property, opposite the postotice. This
place has many decided advantages over
any other I have yet heard mentioned.
1t Is directly on the line Of two Of the
principal avenues of the city market and
Sixteenth streets) and opposite the Gus.
tom House, thus making it ono Of the
most eligible public locations in the city.
by purchasing this property from Mar
ket back to the alley, and from Sixteenth
south to the alley, one OF the handsomest
places in the city for the erection OF q
monument sacred to the memory OF our
heroic dead would be secured, making
1t not only an ornament but likewise a
credit to the trustees OF the fund, the
veterans and our people who revere the
memory Of our fallen heroes, who gave
their lives that 20 government for the
people, Of the people, and by the people
should not perish from the earth" By
enclosing said property with neat rail.
ing, and ornamenting II by planting Q
few evergreens and flowers, and perhaps
some public spirited citizen might donate
a neat little fountain to adorn fairgrounds
| II would also be Park 10 the city, and
| imagine, the nearest to one our city will
have for at least score OF years TO come
The idea OF erecting monument IN Z
sired Is abhorrent; 1t looks as though oul
people were so penurious that they would
not spend q few dollars TO set apart {
small space sacred to the memory Of oul
dead soldiers.
I am informed the soldiers monument
will cost about s. 900, that the amount o.
funds in hands OF trustees is about Sll 900
My idea would be to apply the S, 900 ovel
the cost Of the monument to the purchase
OF the lots above mentioned, and by
solicitation, concerts or festivals the residue
conld be easily raised. would earnestly
call the attention OF the veterans to this
subject and ask them to see that suitable
location is selected, and not build it up In
one Of the streets simply because 1t would
not cost anything for the ground. l have
been informed the property could be
purchased and from the well known pub
lie spirit OF the owner, l doubt not but in
purchasing for the aforesaid purpose, he
would place 1t at the most reasonable
rates and favorable terms.
