PRESIDENT JACKSON'S EAR
LY CAREER.

Born in such obscurity that it is
doubtful to this day whether he was
born in South Carolina, as he himself
claimed, or on the North Carolina
side of the line as Mr.. Parton thinks,
he had a childhood of poverty and ig-
norance. He was taken prisoner as
mere boy during the Revolution,
and could never ferget that he had
been wounded by a British officer
whose boots he had refused to
brush. AfteIward, in a frontier
community, he was successively far
mer, shop-keeper, law student, law
yer, district attorney, judge, and
Congressman, being first Represena-
tive from Tennessee, and then Sem
ator, and all before the age of thirty
one. In Congress Albert Gallatin
describes him as ssa tall, lank, un-
couth-looking parsonage, with long
locks of hair hanging over his brows
and face, and Queue down his back
tied in an eel-skin his dress singular,
his manners and department those of

a backwoodsman." He remained.
however, but year or two in all at
Philadelphia-then the seat of ma
tional government-and afterward
became a planter in Tennessee, fought
duels, subdued Tecumseh and the
Creek Indians. winning finally the
great opportunity of his life by being
made Major General in the United
States army on May 81, 1914. He
now had his old captors, the British,
with whom to deal, and entered into
work with relish. By way of pre-
llmlnary he took Pensacola, without
any definite authority, from the Span
iards, to whom it belonged, and the
English whom they harbored; and
then returned, without orders, with
out support, and without supplies, to
undertake the defense of New Or
leans.
Important as was this city, and
plain as it was that the British threat
ened it the national authorities had
done nothing to defend it. The i'm
preston prevailed at Washington
that it must already have been taken,
but that the President would not let it
be known. The Washington RepubH-
can of January IL, 1915, said, s.That
Mr.. Madison will find it convenient
and will finally determine to abandon
the State of louisiana we have not a
doubt" A New York newspaper of
January 80, quoted in Mr.. Andrew
SteveGson's eulogy on Jackson, said,
SIT is the general opinion here that
the city of New Orleans must fall"
Apparently but one thing averted it's
fall-the energy aud will of Andrew
jackson. On his own responsibility
he declared martial law, impressed SOL
dlers, seized powder and supplies,
built Notifications of cotton bales, if
nothing else came to hand. When
the news of the battle of New Orleans
came to the seat of government it
was almost too bewildeling for belief.
The British veterans of the Peninsu-
lar war, whose march wherever they
had landed had heretofore seemed a
a holiday parade, were repulsed in a
manner SO astounding that the loss was
more than two thousand, while that
of the Americans was but thirteen.
By a single stroke the national self
respect was restored and Henry Clay,
at Paris, said, ''Now / can 90 to
England without modification. -

How Long Will It Last? i?

Lights from the windows are cleaning and glancing'
Music and laughter echoing near,
Save where the twain move apart from the dancing,
Uttering VOWS each was longing to hear.
Tender his tones, in their low modulation,
Timidly downward her glances are cast,
Eyes matched with sapphire, cheeks with carnation
Fair is the picture; How long win itlast?
Think when old time, of all jokers the grmmest,
Whitens the tresses and burrows the brow
Changing the forms that are lithest and slimmest,
Will your affections be steady as now?
True that to-day, in its ardent devotion,
Love takes no heed of the future or past
Curbing and checking the tide of emotion,
Prudence should whisper, How long will it last! +!
All were in vain, though the caution be needed,
Prudence is ne'er the companion of youth;
Passion for aye leaves unnoticed, unheeded,
Warnings of wisdom and promptings of truth
Forging the fetters that bind them together
Gliding the hours that are flying so fast;
Careless of sunlight or stormiest weather,
Love never questions How long will it last?

Where Are You Going, Young
ManP

Where you going so fast, young man,
Where you going so fast,
With the cup in your hand, and flush on your
brow?
Though pleasure and mirth may accompany you
now,
1t tells of a sorrow to come by and by;
1t tells of pang that is sealed with sigh;
1t tells of shame at last young man
A withering shame that will last.
Where are you going so fast, young man?
Where are you going fast?
In the flush of that wine there is only bait
curse lies beneath that you'll find when too late
A serpent sleeps down in the depths of that cup;
A monster is there that will swallow you up
A sorrow you'll find at last, young man
In wine there is sorrow at last.
There's reckoning day to come, young man;
A reckoning day to come,
A life yet to live, and death yet to die,
A sad, parting tear and sad, parting sigh
A journey to take, and famshing heart,
A sharp pang to feel from Deaths chilling dart;
A curse you drink that rum, young man,
The btterest curse in that rum.

Over the Mountains.

Many times we have toiled until weary,
And our hearts have oft moistened the sod,
Still we know that just over the mountains
Is rest for the people of God.
We may pass through the wilderness tangle,
We may walk through the desert alone,
But we see the bright signal from Beulah
And we know that God sits on His throne.
1t is sometimes wearisome journey
When the loved ones have passed from our side
When our hearts reaching outward for comfort.
Find the wilderness dreary and wide.
Then, disheartened, our footsteps oft falter
And our sighs are borne far on the wind,
While forgetting that just over Beulah
Is the rest which the victors shall find.
All the desert shall blossom with roses,
The sweet lily shall rise from the sod,
As we climb to the mountains of Beulah
On our way to the mountains of God.
Then with gladness and songs of rejoicing,
Like the eagle spirits shall soar,
For just over the mountains of Beulah
There is sorrow and sighing no more.
There is peace in the glory-lit valley
Where the Prince and His martyrs have gone;
Stands the sepulchre open; deserted,
But the angel still beckons us on.
The pathway is bordered with blossoms
Which smile where His blessed feet trod,
And the signal which waves upon Beulah
Points a rest to the people ofGod.

is THERE A BETTER WAY?

I'm very sorry for every over-bur-
dened and weary worker in this broad
land. 1t does seem as if some meth
cd might be devised whereby work
might be more easily managed than
at present, and more accomplished
with the same outlay of strength. L
am inclined to think that the first
wrong step is in the home training of
girls and boys. We make the path
as smooth as possible for our children;
we shield them from cares and duties
while young; and when they reach
mature age they are but i'll fitted for
the burdens they must bear. This is
especially true of our girls. We ed
ucate them in book lore, music, etc.,
but not for the real work of life.
Many are educated to be teachers.
and, after year or two of what they
style that kind of ''drudgery," they
launch forth in the barque of matri-
mony without any previous outfit of
knowledge for the voyage. Conse-
quently there is many wretched
home and wrecked life, and they find
this worse drudgery than the other,
because there it no easy way of es-
cape. | do not think there would be
so many over-burdened women, if
they were in girlhood taught to work,
and the best way in which to do it.
Another thing our girls should be
taught is that not every man of good
address is really good and true man.
Woman's ideal of lover and mar
riage is too much of the story-book
kind, and that is, when once married
all trouble will be over, when many
a time it begins only then.
Our boys are not taught restraint.
Fond mothers see in them no faults,
They humor and wait on them, and,
of course, they expect the same ado
ration when in home of their own.
Why is it wrong to bring up our girls
SO that they will make good, helpful
wives, and our boys so that they will
be kind, loving husbands Bring them
up to discern good from bad, right
from wrong in fact, bring them up
to be burden barriers in the journey
of life, and useful ones, too. Educa-
ton i'll school or college seems to be
the one great thing that parents are
striving for, for their children. Yes,
give them good common school ed
ucation, give them books and papers,
but during all teach them to work.
think investigation would prove many
of these over-burdened wives to have
been girls who were tenderly brought
up, and who did not have to depend
on themselves or to have any decision
of character. There are women who
command so much respect that men
do them homage without knowing it.
Overbearing men are very apt to
choose the meek and kindly girls who
do not stand up for their opinions
but | believe the average man thinks
more of woman who has mind of
her own, independent of his, and who
doesn't bow to him and his will with
out protest. / know | am treading
on dangerous ground. and may be ru-
raj sisters will be ready to WELD the
pen against my expressed views, but
never mind, for it is by the change

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELANDs drec-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
FILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used

ROAD-BED 70 BE RAISED.
Vicksburg, Shreveport & Pacific r. r

Yesterday a dispatch was recclv-
ed from Cincinnati to the effect
that Messrs. Rogers IL James had
secured the contract to raise the
Vicksburg, Shreveport u Pacific
road from Delta to Monroe, La, q
distance of seventY-six miles.
According to the information fur
nishod the Racket reporter, it ap-
pears that the V, s. & P, road
management at Cincinnati has at
last realized the necessity of rails
ing the rOad-bed between Delta
and Monroe, which heretofore has
suffered greatly from the overfiows,
and that Mr.. Scott sees how i'm
portant it is to the success Of the
system to put the road i'll good con-
ditiOn.
Messrs. Rogers & James have
the contract to raise the road-bed
between Monroe and Delta, and
they will commence work as soon
as they return from Cincinnati, fo1
the reason that the contract has
been signed, and everything is in
readiness for the work. 1t is I'M
derstood that the main object OF
President Scott is to raise the road
bed above the level of the overflow
which usually covers the swamps
between the Ouachita and Missis.
sippi rivers, so that despite the
crevasses which may occur on the
Mississippi river front there vii
be no interruption to traffic between
Shreveport and Vicksburg.
The Monroe section of the ", S
& P. road had always been unsuc
cessful, owing to the fact that il
was imperfectly built, and from
the start proved to be great source
of expense to the owners.
The management of the road
however, intends to put the entire
line in good shape in order tC
properly handle the shipments
which will go through from Cincin
natl to Texas, and vice versa.
AS the recent overflows anC
"washouts" have damaged a grea
portion of the rails it is more THAI
probable, from what the Racke
reporter has ascertained, that whel
the road-bed is raised that the road
bed between Monroe and Delt;
will be relaid with steel rails, ant
fast trains will be put on from Delti
to Shreveport.-N. o. Times Dem
