McMinnyille's New Enterprise.

There is no question that more close
ly concerns the entire humon rase than
that of life insurance. 1t is matter
in which every living man and woman
is interested. Life insurance, however,
up to within the last few years, has
been luxury that only the wealthy
could indulge, but the mutual life in.
surance organizations which have come
into existence now offer plan of insur-
ance, that people in all circumstances
of life can easily afford to take advan-
tage of. A large number of these or
CARNATIONS are now in successful Ope-
ration all over the United States, and
as it is the spirit Of our citizens to keep
abreast with the van Of progress,
number Of our most prominent business
men have formed and chartered an or.
ganlzatlOn to be known as the Peoples
Mutual Life Insurance Order, of Nc.
MinnvilIe, Tenn, the object of when
is to offer cheop, safe and reliable
plan of mutual life insurance. The
officers are W. II. Magness President;
H, l.. Walling, Vice President; j. c..
Martin, Secretary, Jesse Walling,
Treasurer DR.. T. G. Smart, Medical
Director. They have a most excellent
plan, a corps of reliable, energetic off
GERS fully capacitated in every way to
conduct the enterprise, and we bespeak
for the Order record of signal success
from its very inception.
Their books will be opened for the
reception of members next Monday.
An advertisement will be found in to.
days paper, and full information can

HER HANDS.
BLONDINE.

Av, beautiful
Fairer than the fair they were,
The lily had its rival there,
The rose, rejecting to the sun
Her evening flush ere day is done,
The sea.shell's tinge could meier compare,
Nor ocean hold gem so rare
As those two snowy hands
Those tender hands.
Oh, magic hands
Weaving spells OF tilmy gold,
Revealing dimplcS, hall unrolled,
Each rosy fingers five unfold
Their snow white lengths to view.
A Jewel each fair finger tips,
Which heavens brightest stars eclipse,
'Gainst space OF darkeaed blue,
Dared touch them to my lips
Those jeweled hands?
Fair dimpled hands
Could they guide life's weary sands,
Golden would each sand.grain CLEAN,
Earth a heaven of heavens SEEM
Beneath their magic touch,
Life, fairer than the blossoms be,
Far brighter than the midnight sea,
OF stars abOve-and much,
| know, | loved those hands
Those white white hands
All, little hands!
Evenings pearly gray had fed,
Young night with darkness wed,
Beneath sky too clear.
Jeweled fingers nesting lay,
Claspcd in mine, beneath ray
Sped from chandelier,
What did the gentle pressure mean?
That made heaven above me lean?
And all my pulses thrill?
Twas life, its touches to impart,
With rapture filing up the heart,
clasped them tighter still, those hands,
Those frank, fair hands.
Sweet, hayward hands!
Loved no: their magic spell?
Ay, too madly and too well.
From the cup | could not think,
They had proffered me to drink,
With loves elixir filed.
! Did they know their magic art
Knew they not the the kngly heart
Their softest touches chilled?
Played they not painful part,
Those cruel hands?
Cruel?
! All, no! they were only fair
! The lily had its rival there.
Bitter ;ears | oft times weep,
For the little hands asleep,
Folded, white, and fair
Not the peach-bloom's palest glow,
Not the daisy's softest snow,
Nor the wildrose' evening flush,
To their beauty can compare.
Like two rose leaves hid away,
Or two royal lilies they,
Those matchless hands
Oh, peerless hands!
Through the long, long years that watt
Leading up to heavens gate
Where the tired feet may rest,
At the soul-sick travellers knock,
And the pearly gates unlock,
Reached realms forever blest,
There to clasp those fingers white,
Welcomed to eternal light
BY her hands, her angel hands.

j. q. Morton.

We have just heard of the death of
Mr.. j. G. Morton of Personville Texas.
Many of our readers about Irving Col
lege, and some in this place, remember
Mr.. Morton. He was a student at r.
wing College from Columbus Ga,
about 1856 or 1857, He was a good
student and universally beliked by all
acquainances. After he left College,
he returned to Georgia and taught
school and married. When the late
war broke out he enlisted in the Con.
federate service and made a faithful
soldier until its close. Soon after the
war he sold out in Georgia, and moved
with his little family to Limestone Co.
near Personville, Texas, and engaged
in farming. He did well farming.
During the time he lived in Texas, he
held several Offices of trust. But fol
long time before his death his health
was failing and he finally died about
two years ago, of which we heard moth
ing until few days ago. One by on,
our friends depart, and we too will soor
follow.

The evening light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1881-1883, 1882-04-13

AN idea somewhat akin to Haw,
thorne's gnOme maintained for a long
time rather vague and unreal exist,
ence in the fruitful mind of Charles
Matthews, the English comedian, who
had favorite theory of always keep
ing his audience eXpectant of some
thing. His plan was to construct a
drama in which the chief person. &c
should be kept throughout each sue
cesSive act before the minds of the
audience, and every instant about to
appear on the scene, but never actual
ly entering-thc history of his relations
to the incident Of the drama, as it pro-
crossed, being carefully sustained. The
idea was never dramatsed and the
great actor may not have been free
from the apprehension that the piece
would have been followed, as a yolun-
tary, with an epilogue of rotten eggs.
