WHY DO NOT MARRY.
BY INGOMAR.

You ask me why do not marry,
And why with women ne'er tarry;
And why flee from blushing maid
AS if she were vixen-jade?
You say that T. IN in prime Of life,
And should be blessed with loving wife,
With loving wife! the words sound sweet,
But once I did a maiden meet,
And fondly worshipped at her shine,
And longed to call the fair one mine.
o, she was fair as poets dream!
Among fair maids she seemed queen!
Her eyes, like starry orbs of Night,
Did dazzle with their luster bright;
Her hair in glossy ringlets black
Swept DER white shoulders down her back;
Her velvet cheek, when she would blush,
Was like moss-rose's gentle flush;
Her neck, twas chiseled-polished-w
And shone like ivory column bright;
Her budding charms were fair to view,
And almost shone her gauze vest thro';
Her waist twas tap ring, small and neat,
In keeping with fair hands-small feet;
Her voice, twas like sweet-toned lutte,
And it could charm the heart of YOUTH
But she was false; a soulless jade,
Although in years tender maid.
o, how my heart has thrilled with bliss
When felt pressure of her kiss
With siren song she lured me on
Until my heart and soul she won;
She vowed that she was constant-true-
And that I'd ne'er have cause to rue
That had given her my heart,
For that with it she'd never part:
That of all men she loved me best,
And then she'd nestle on my breast;
And on my soul if you could see
The wiles, the charms, the witchery
Of that young maid loved so well,-
Who Ger me cast her fatal spell,-
You would not wonder that hate
But what's the use of cursing fate?
- .
I strayed one eve thro shady dell,
And something o er me cast spell
AS leisurely strayed along,
And I my ramble did prolong;
Nor dreamt that my love was near
Until her voice fell on my ear:
It thrilled my soul like music sweet,
And I advanced my love to greet;
But in shady bower near,
Where she full oft my heart did cheer,
I saw her in anothers arms
And freely yielding him her charms
/ saw her drunk as 'twere with bliss
AS she his lips did fondly kiss,
And painting bosom-glowing cheeks
Showed the coquette at her old freaks.
I fled the spot in sore dismay
And sadly homeward took my way,
And ever since when maid see
Approach me with her coquetry
flee from her in wild alarm
(For me no woman now has charm),
For with that heartless, vile coquette,
NV star of love forever set!

ALWAYS LATE.-Half the value of any
thing to be done consists in doing it prompt
ly. And yet a large class of persons are al
ways more or less unpunctual and late.
Their work is always in advance of them,
and so it is with their appointments and en-
gagements. They are late, very likely, in
rising in the morning, and also in going to
bed at night; late at their meals ; late at the
counting house or office; late at their ap-
pointments with others. Their letters are
sent to the post-ofice just as the mail is
closed. They arrive at the wharf just as
the steamboat is leaving it. They come into
the station just as the train is going out.
They do not entirely forget or omit the en-
gagement or duty, but they are always be-
hind time, and are so generally in haste, or
rather ina hurry, as if they had been born
little too late, and forever were trying to
catch up with the lost time. They waste
time for themselves and waste it for others,
and fail of the comfort and influence and
success which they might have found in sys-
tematic and habitual punctuality. A good
old lady, who was asked why she was so
early in her seat at church, is said to have
replied that it was her religion not to dis
turb the religion Of others. And if it were
with all a part, both of courtesy and duty,
MOTTO say of religion, never to be unpunctu-
al, they would save time for, as we'll as an
nOyance to, others, and aid themselves to
success and influence in a thousand ways.

PHYSIOGNOMY OF THE MOUTH.

The shape of the mouth is not only guide
to permanent traits, but it also assists in re-
vealing temporary emotions. Mouths which
turn down at the corners show melancholy
tendency; this is temporary induced by
continued brooding over trouble. Mouths
whose corners turn upward, disclose mirth-
full, fun-loving characters. Mouths which
form in the upper lip the appearance called
"Cupid's bow" belong to those who possess
true domestic sentiments-that is to say,
love of the opposite sex, love of young, and
incidentally of animals. This appearance
is observed in all well-developed characters.
A thin, pale upper lip is indicative of the
reverse of this, and reveals snappish,
shrewish disposition with dislike of the
opposite sex, as well as of children and ami
mails. Full lips disclose social and linguistic
abilities. Many persons have the idea that
thick, full lips belong to coarse, gross char
oped races, this is correct; but where the
skin is fine, then this development is illus
trative of the greatest sociability, sympathy
and domesticity.
The fullness of the under lip is a sign of
generosity, sympathy and benevolence. A
thin, pale, bloodless under lip belongs to
cruel unsympathetic, or impoverished char
acter. Fullness of the under lip is the facial
sign of the glandular system-the system
which contributes to creating and supplying
the body with it's juices, warmth and blood.
Hence, it is easy to understand how one en-
dowed with an abundance of nourishing
fluids is better able to warm toward others,
and to have the strength and desire to love
and protect them, than one who is really
impoverished and cold in his own person.
We can give only what we possess. The
faces of celebrated misers are filled with
fine wrinkles, showing their bloodless, juice
less condition and their unsympathetic ma
lures. They are never prolific, and this is
yet another indication Of their barren ma
lures for where the glands Of the body are
normal we find the provocative function
most active, and the face full and we'll col
ored.-AryOndW.

SMITHS NEW LIVERY STABLE

Mr.. Geo. w. Smith, who a few
weeks ago moved and opened livery,
feed and sale stable on Bridge street,
nearly opposite the postoffice, is now
in full sail, having renovated the old

of the painter and carpenter until it
now presents very handsome APP
pearance and stands in the front rank
with our larger livery stables, and he
wishes to inform his many friends
throughout Christian hounty through
the South Kentuckian that such is a
fact, and that he will feed and care for
your stock as good if not better and
furnish you with as good livery as can
be had in the city at reasonable prices.
He is not scant in feeding your ami
mails and his stable and stalls are COM
Portable. Farmers, when you come to
town put up with G. w. Smith. Par
ticular attention and inducements
given to travelling men. These are
facts, but don't take our word for it,
but go and see for yourselves, and 10
cents to ginger cake you will be en-
tirely satisfied. Feb. p I'm.

EUGENE" MILLS.
IA Tour Though This Well Built
and Solid Enterprise. A Per
feet Hive Of Industry.

Bread is the "staff of lifc," there
fore the most prominent part is play
ed by the miller. Things being quiz
ct on Saturday evening in our city, u
reporter of this paper concluded to
stroll out in the suburbs and visit the
manufacturing interests which were
Whereabouts to be found. So in COM
pany with Mr.. Livy Buckner with
one of his tleet-footed animals we
started, and after fairly flying for a
few moments we came to the celebra-
ted Eugene" Mills. Here the repor-
ter alighted and entered, and after
an introduction to Mr., Eugene Wood
he made known the object of his
visit, was cordially received and
CLEANED the following: This mill is
frame structure, with 4 stories and
a basement, with Is horse power and
is propelled by water and steam,
water being used 6 months in the
year, and is one of best built local,
new process mills to-day in Christian
county, and is supplied with all tae
latest improved machinery from top
to bottom. The capacity of this mill
is 100 barrels of -four every 81 hours
and it is kept in motion the year
around from early dawn till dewy
eve. Mr.. Eugene Wood, its proprie-
tor, has been engaged in the milling
business since 1872 at this place, at
which time he took charge of an old
structure and ran it until 1879, when
he re-modeled and built the present
handsome structure, and by his ener-
gy, perseverance, as wellas thorough
knowledge of the business has built
up a widespread local trade second to
no other mill in this or adjoining
counties, and "Eugene's Best" has
long since become a household word
throughout the city and county. He
makes a specially of exchange work,
and is constantly receiving grain for
which cash payments are made. Mr..
X. j. Ensminger is the miller, and is
thoroughly qualified to fill that posi-
ton, as he has almost devoted his en-
tire lifetime in this capacity. In a
word the Eugene" Mills are not on
| ly the best built, but are presided over
by gentlemen who thoroughly under
stand the business in which they are
engaged, and for this reason we COM
mend all those desiring the best of
flour from the choicest of grain to
call on or address the Eugene Mills,
Letters of inquiry promptly answered
and all orders filled accurately.

The Board of Trustees met yester-
day and it was decided to rebuild at
once and have the college ready for
the fall session. The school will for
the present be suspended. This was
unfortunate as it was enjoying a
genuine boom under the excellent
management of Maj. Crumbaugh.N New
pupils were being enrolled daily and
the outlook was very encourage
ing. The following announcements
are authorized by the Board of Trus-
tees and President of the faculty:
"At a meeting of the Board ofTrus-
tees of South Kentucky College, it
was unanimously determined that
the building should be rebuilt and
that it be completed bysJuly l, 1884,
and the Board is gratified to an
nounce to the community that the
present faculty will reopen the Col
lege in September next. The burn
ing of the building necessitates the
temporary suspension of the collegi.

Death OF Faithful EmpIoye.

The first payment by the recently organized
benefit association Of the sixth auditors office
was made yesterday to the widow of George
NJ. Hickman, the colored messenger of the
pay division, who died on Thursday evening
after brief and painful illness. The sum
paid was $l39. Mr.. Hickman is we'll known
to many of tho citizens of the district, as he
was for many years the janitor Of the Fourth
Presbyterian church. In 1854 he was ap-
pointed messenger in the second auditors
office, and was transferred in 1880 to the
sixth auditors office. He was faithful and
trusty employee and was highly esteemed by
all who know him. At a meeting OF the
clerks of tho pay division yesterday after
noon, Mr.. Boone Chambers, chief clerk of the
auditors office, presiding and Capt. w. d.
Burbage secretary, appropriate resolutions
were passed and an engrossed copy was
framed to be sent to his family. He leaves a
wifo and several children. The clerks and
employees resolved to attend his funeral, which
takes place on Sunday from his residence
under direction of the pastor of the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian church. of which the
deceased was an exemplary member.
