DEATH 6:E IT2SER MILLER.
Tribune and sun.

The death of PitSer Miller, of Boil
var, one Of the oldest and worthiest
citizens of the State is announced.
For nearly if not quite half century
he has been a leading figure in the
business life Of West Tennessee. Be
fore our civil war he WAS very wealthy
and his influence as wide as it was
wholesome. The war and its waste,
the period Of reconstruction and It's
speculation and ruin, impaired his ior-
tune, but never for moment chilled
his large and genereas breast. Nearly
everybody in West Tennessee knG y
and esteemed him. Around his own
home no man was eEer more upiyer
sally beloved. He used his large
means and great opportunities for the
benefit of his fellov.mep rs we'll as for
his own. His charitiQs were never
bounded save by bis opportunities to
do good, and around his memory will
cluster as many good deeds as a single
life often affords. He was one of
those noble men who honor life by liy.
.ipg. &uuhaEs of men owe their start
in life IS his kind help. Mum beers
amid the tolls of misfortune owe their
pecuEsjary salvation to him. Number
less widows and orphans have found
in him kind friend with an oaen
hand. 1t does not matter whether
or not he died as rich and iR{luental
as he had lived the most Of khe years
of his noble life, it docs l.G;t snatter
whether or not he has aet6 tg his .chil
DIR Ell great fortune, 1t does not mat
ter how those who prize wealth simply
for its possession will yisM his career;
but it does matter for his memory how
he has used his opportunities in .thi.
world of trials and eff sorrow. That .hc
has used them we'll Reeq them o. God
intended, used them in kiR@i4g up the
bruised and disappointed hearts of hi:
fellows, is n reward in itself far above
all riches, and the sweetest thought
that can come to the SLnl in the last
dread hour, which nGVat come to all
The memory of Pitser Miller will live
in hundreds Of grateful hearts and &C
down in love to genera&ions unborp

Gong Fishing.

With bluetish right on the coast, big
cod and halibut further out. and dogtish
and sharks in deep water of rocky points,
with bass and pickerel in inland ponds and
trout in Il thousand brooks, breathes there
man with soul 50 dead that he does not
want to 90 fishing? No one cares par
ticularly for the fish that may be caught,
unless he is very hungry and the nearest
place to get anything to eat is many miles
away, rs it generally is; but going after
tish-ah that is bliss indeed. What
comes back in the basket is of very little
consequence. Generally the pleasanter
way is to give away all the fish YOU catch
and get fresh lot at the market to take
home. What goes out in the basket,
however, is OF great Importance. 1t is in
deed marvellous how many things are
needed by party that is going after fish.
one man going alone will merely put a
big cracker in one pocket and a small
flask in the other but let that man take
unto himself a companion and straight
way the cNpedltlonary stores are increased
about tWentytold, and the solid comfort
that the couple take in packing that bas-
ket could not possibly be indicated by the
vulgar standard Of money. And the
tackle, too-what does catching a fish
amount to when compared with the salts
faction of getting ready to catch him
To take Il siXinch trout worth at Fulton
Market about twenty-five cents, a man
will buy rod that is dirt cheap at TWEEN
ty-tiVe dollars; for a WindlaSs or reel with
which to haul the monster up from the
deep he will pay the price of Il good watch,
While the feathers of which his artificial
lles are made cost him more than the
feathers on his wifes Sunday bonnet
And what glorious fun it is to find just
the right place to fish ? Ona trout brook
this place is always little further up,
until the source of the brook is reached,
after which ii is Il little further down: on "a
pond the best place is always a little fur
Their along the shore. In either ease the
result is that the fisherman always works
back to the exact place that he started
from, and when he learns what he has
been doing he reaches that sublime con-
7lltiOn of mind where words are utterly
unequal to the expression of emotion.
Chance and change, too, combine to
make rare surprises for the fisherman.
Let the bearer Of the lunch basket drop
his burden into the water, even if merely
by accident, and the party will have a
meal such as they might visit restaurants
from now to Doomsday without stumbling
upon. Then there is the chance of rain,
which always makes the tisherman's cloth
ing fit him SO closely, and the chance Of
missing stage or train, and of finding
ones self many miles from home with the
paper portion of his money all soaked
into wad Of pulp. No fish are needed
to make the act of going fishing the most
extraordinary change from everyday life
that can be had for given amount of
money. y. \ Herald.
