The Boys and the BelI-Wether
Atlanta Constitution.

Iheard Zeb Vance telling how he cap
tured the vote OF backwoods settlement
in North Carolina when he first ran for
Congress. He said he had never been in
that settlement and didn't know the boys.
He rode over the mountains and found
about 90 sovereigns at crossroads gro
Gerry and he got down and hitched his
horse and began to make their acquain-
lance and crack his jokes around, and
thought he was getting along pretty we'll
with them, but he noticed an old man
with shaggy eyebrows and big brass spec
tacles sitting on chunk and marking in
the sand with stick. The old man dldn t
seem to pay any attention to Vance, and
after while Vance concluded that the
| oru man was Defi-wctncT oftfc HOOK, ana
that it was necessary to capture him, so
he sidled up close to him, and the old
man got up and shook himself and lean
ed forward on his stick and said solemn
ly: "This is Mr.. Vance, I believer"
eyes, sir" said Vance. "And you have
come over here to see my boys about
their votes, believer" eyes, sir, "
said Vance, "that is my business"
"Weli, sir" said the man. "afore you
proceed with that business l would like
to ak you few questions. "
Certainly, sir, certainly" said
| Vance.
"What church mout you belong tor"
said the old man.
That was socdologer-Vance didn't
belong to any church. He knew that
religion and meeting was big thing in
the backwoods and controlled their pol
itics but he didn't know what their relig-
ion was, for North Carolina was power
fully spotted. But he squared himself
for the responsibility and says he: "Well,
now, my friend, will tell you about
that, for it is fair question. Ofcourse
tits. Well, you see my grandfather came
from Scotland, and you know that over
in Scotland everybody is Presbyterian. "
Here he paused to note the effect, but
saw no sign of sympathy with his grand
pa.
"But my grandmother came from
England, and over there everybody be-
longs to the Episcopal church." He
paused again and the old man marked
another mark in the sand and spit his
tobacco away off.
s'But my father was born in this coun'
try in Methodist settlement, and so he
grew up Methodist. Still no sign o.
approval from the old man, and so Vance
took his last shot and said: 'But my
good old mother was Baptist, and it,
my opinion that man has got to &c
under water to go to heaven"
The old man walked up, and, taking
him by the hand, said: "Well, you arr
right, Mr.. Vance," and then turning t.
the crowd, said: "Boys, he'll do, anc
you may vote for him. thought h
looked like a Baptist" And the OLE
man slowly drew flask from his coat
tail and handed it to Vance to seal hi
faith.

One by One.

Though from the boughs to which they've long
been clinging,
The Autumn leaves are dropping one by one,
Yet from their dust new forms of beauty, spring
ing,
Shall smile again in Summers gentle sun.
Though one by one the pearly drops Of morning,
From dropping flowers, on viewless pinions rise,
Well see them yet the gorgeous clouds adorning
With glowing arches of celestial dyes.
Though one by one the stars are fading slowly,
That all night long kept vigil in the sky,
The distant mountain peeks, like prophets holy,
Proclaim that mornings light and song are
nigh.
Though with slow step goes forth the sower, weep
ing,
And on earth's lap his precious treasure leaves,
Yet comes the harvest, with its joyous reaping,
When shall be gathered home the ripened
sheaves.
Though one by one the friends we fondly cherish
Withdraw from ours the cold and trembling
hand,
And leave US sorrowful, they do not perish
They yet shall greet us in a fairer land.
Yes, from all chimes, where'er the faithful sum-
ber-
Meath scorching suns Arctic and frost,
Stainless they'll rise, in myriads without mum Der;
All, all shall meet-there shall not one be lost.
