Old.FashiOned Front Yards.

There are few of us who cannot remem-
Der front-yard garden, which seemed to US
a very paradise in childhood. 1t was like a
miracle when the yellow and white dafhes
came into bloom in the spring and there
was time when the tiger lilies and the taller
rose bushes were taller than we were, and we
could not look over their heads as we do
now. There We're always good many
lady'sdelights that grew under the bushes,
and came up anywhere in the chinks OF the
walk or the door step; aud there was little
green sprig called ambrosla that was IA
nous stray-away. Outside the fence one
was not unlikely to see company OF French
pinks, which were forbidden standing room
inside, as if they were tiresome poor rela-
tions of the other flowers. | always felt q
sympathy for French pinks they have a
fresh, sweet look, as if they resigned them
selves 10 their lot in life and made the best
of it, and remembered that they had the
sunshine and rain, and could see what was
going on in the world, if they were outlaws.
/ like to remember being sent on errands,
and being asked TO wait while the mistress
of the house picked some flowers TO send
back to my mother. They were almost al
WAYS prim, flat bouquets in those days the
larger flowers were picked first, and stood
at the back and looked over the heads of
those that were shorter of stem and stature I;
and the givers always sent message that they
had not stopped to arrange them. Iremem-
ber that even had then great dislike to
lemon verbena, and that would have waited
patiently outside gate all the afternoon if
knew that some one would kindly give me
a sprig of lavender in the evening. Aud
lilies did not seem TO me overdressed, but

Do Not Complain.

A lady who had very elegant home, out
of which her beautiful twin children, her
all, had been taken by death, said to us
"If it were not wicked, | wish that some
women who complain 50 easily OF little cares
aud annoyances, troubles about servants aud
social life, could have one real sorrow Just
to see how foolish they are to make so much
of trivial things" 1t seems sometimes as
though only by great sorrow are We de-
velopsd into our best living. There are
only few things in life that are worth our
best thought and action; aud these, alas,
many if not most fail to grasp because they
let the minutia of life fret them aud con-
sumo all their time. II we could live a
second life many Of us would learn not to
mind little things.-Selecied

The old farmer rests In his long and last sleep,
While the waters a low llsplng lullaby keep
No shall awake him to labor again.
Yon tree, that with fragrance ia nlng the air,
SO rich with Ia blossoms, 20 thrifty and fair
By his own hand planted and well did he say
II would live when lis planter had moudered away.
He has powed his last furrow has reaped bis last grain
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
There's the well that he dug, with ts waters so cold
with its wet dripping bucket, so mossy and old
No more from its depths by the patriarch drawn,
For the pitcher ia en-" the old man ia gone.
He powed his last furrow has reaped his last grain
No shall awake him to labor again.
Twas gloom giving day when the old farmer died;
The stout-hearted mourned the affectonate cried;
And the prayers OF the Just for his rest did ascend
For they all lost a brother and n friend.
He has plowed his last furrow has reaped his last grain
No shall awake him to labor again.
For upright and honest the old farmer was
His God he revered, he respected the laws
Though fmeess he lived, he has where his worth

A Word to Robert IngersOll.

Said Lord Macaulay q" altogether alb
stain from alluding to topics which belong
to divines speak merely as a politician
anxious for the morality and the temporal
we'll being of society; and so speaking,
say that to discountenance that religion
which has done so much to promote justice,
aud mercy, and freedom, and arts, and sci
ences, and good government, and domestic
happiness, which has struck of the chains
of the slave, which has mitigated the hor'
rors of war, which has raised women from
servants and playthings into companions
and friends, is to commit high treason
against humanity and civilizat alton.

Mr.. Arms Jersey Heifers.

Mr.. Editor You requested me to report
in regard to certain four grade Jersey heif-
ers of which had made mention, and of
which you thought anticipated too much.
The heifers were five years old last spring,
and this is the fourth season they have given
milk. tested them in February and March,
the second season after coming in. You will
see by the amounts that they are not large
mixers, but of good quality.

A MOTHERS HEART.

4 little dreaming, such az mothers know;
A little lingering over dainty things
A happy heart, wherein hope all aglow
stirs like bird at dawn that wakes and sings
And that Ia all.
A little clasping 10 her yearnug breast;
A little musing over future years.
A heart that prays" Dear Lord, thou knowest best
But spare my flower iie's biterest rain Of tears"
And that Ia all.
A little spirit speeding through the night
little home grown lonely, dark and chilli
A sad heart. cropping bndiy for the llght
A little snowcla grave beneath the hill
And that Ia all.
A little gathering Of llfes broken thread
little patience keeping back the tears
A heart that sings, Tliy darling ls not dead,
God keeps her safe through his eternal years.
And that IA all.

Defective Watch Cases are now one oi
the chief causes oil so many watches not
being good time pieces. The eases being
thin and not fitting well, admit dust and
dirt to the movement, which soon inlerferes
with the running parts Of the watch %necessi-
tating cleaning, repairing, &c., and the
amount thus paid out ii applied toward
buying a good case in the beginning, would
have saved all this trouble and expense.
We have recently seen a case that meets all
these requirements, it having been carried
for over twenty years and still remains per
feet. We refer to the JAS. Boss Patent
Stifienea Gold Case, which has become one
OF the staple articles OF the Jewelry trade,
possessing as it does so many advantages
over all other watch eases, being made of
two heavy plates Of solid gold over a plate
OF composition, and We advise all onr read
eri to ask their Jeweler for a card or cata
loge that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only Stifened Case made with
two plates OF gold, seamless pendants, and

which are covered by letters patent. There
fore buy no case before consulting a Jewel.

Ins0lence Half Punished.

W. L. Kline, 4 drummer for the
Chicago Rubber Paint Co., while in
the store of w. III. Patton d CO.,
Shubuta, saw q portrait of Gen.
Hancock hanging up, and made
ONE offensive remarks about it eX-
pressing his disapproval of Patton
IL Co. in keeping it there. Hon. John
Watts, Mayor of Shubuta, also 4
member of the firm, to whom he
spoke, said that nearly all of the
people down South were for Han
cock. At this Kline became very
angry and began abusing the South
ern people, saying that the Demo
Gratis were no better than the Re
publicans. Mr.. Watts became in
dignant at this misrepresentation of
the Southern people and walked off
to keep from having any more words
with him. But after he thought of
the insult, he went back and slap
ped Kinne's jaws. He ought to
have given him a sound thrashing.
Let Southern people remember the
Chicago Rubber Co., and have
nothing to do with them till they
remove Kline. He is like many
Northern whelps who come South
to sell our people goods. They
never let an opportunity pass to
abuse MS. If merchants would re-
fuse to buy from such blantant
characters, they would learn how to
deport themselves when dealing with
gentlemen.

chase il was discovered that he had had
Syphilis for twelve years. His head vas
