as she really loved her husband she
wanted TO do all she could to please
him. One day she told him she was
going b make some nice home made
cider for him, aud when he came home
she had about two bushels Of little hard
apples piled up In the kitchen.
"Why, Maudw he exclaimed, when
he saw them, "What have you got
there,"
"Applcs, darling" she replied with
smiling face.
"whcre did you get them"
"Bought them, OF course, love-"
"But what did you get such hard
ones forv
"Didn't you say you wanted ne to
make some home made cldcrW she
asked with the trace Of nquIyer In her
voice.
"Yos, my dear; but those are not
good cider apples"
"why-why," she hesitated, "You
said you liked hard cider, aud Of course
/ had to have harG apples to make IL
with, didn't II"

Newspaper Etiquette.

II frequently happens that visitors TO
newspaper offices do and say things
which are improper, rude and annoy
ing. The visitor does not mean TO be
rude, and has really not the slightest
idea that he is making himself disagree
able, for the reason that he is not accus-
toned to newspaper etiquette. For this
reason We wish to throw out few hints
that will enable the visitor 10 avoid un-
Intentionally giving ofiense.
When you enter the printing office do
not handle the type in the cases. IL you
wish TO examine the type say so to the
printer, and he will be glad TO stop his
work and empty the case out on the
table, where you can sit In the chair
and examine the type at your leisure.
Never mind putting back the type; tho
printer can do that after you get
through.
Don't read the proof sheets, clippings
or manuscript. If you want to know
whst is going to appear in the next pa
per, ask the editor to read out aloud 10
you. lie has plenty OF time, and will
be grateful to you for the chance to quit
his work ard entertain you. II you
want to look over the cash book, make
the editor go ard get it for you.
Never ask for sample copy, but take
half n dozen.
Never spit tobacco juice on the floor.
Always spit on the exchanges or on the
walls, otherwise the editor Will think
you are not accustomed to a newspaper
office. Make the editor feel that bis
presence does not annoy you.
Never ask for any old exchanges.
Just help yourself TO the unopened ones,
for they always contaid much later
news than those that have been opened.

soldier was discovered, and the remains Wer
removed to the soldiers lot. a Pocke',Doeots o.
decayed and crumbling, was found In IN
grave and contained few trinkets ana IN
following poem, which had been written 10
the Richmond Enquirer by Margaret Sitting
June Is, 1882. The soldier Is supposed 10 nav
been from South Carolina.
Thou art ever present with me,
Although wand'ring far away;
For dream Of naught beside thee
Throughout all the weary day.
Though above thee fioateth banners;
And the battle trumpet peals,
While around thee low hoarse murmurs
OF the coming conflict steals.
In my heart thine Image resteth,
Guarded true by tender love.
Whose white banner ever waveth
The sweet N emory above.
Thro' the nights when thou art watching
Lonely meath the star lit skies,
Or in troubled dreamings tossing
While the hour slowly flies,
Then upon the Heavens gazing,
lam thinking, love, OF thee;
How those stars once brightly glanoing.
Heard the vows thou breath'd to me.
How the silver tranced moonlight
Fell around us like veil;
How the mystic charmed starlight
shone with beams divinely pale.
How the night birds song came gushing
ASH joy 1t wildly sang,
Through the forest grandly rushing,
Till woods with music rang.
And art thou. my darling, keeping
In thy heart q thought OF me
Art thou ever fondly dreaming
Ofthe love gave 10 thee?
Or hast thou no time TO wander
In the fair enchanted Past7
Or the wish to fondly linger
Where our love glory cast'
In the wild life thou art leading
Is that love forever lost?
Or art thou those days recalling,
Though pang the memory cost?
Howsoe'er the Past doth bind thee,
While thou wanderest far away,
lam dreaming of thee only
Throughout all the weary day.
lam waiting, weeping, watching,
Hoping some, but fearing more;
While Loves splendor fading
Lingers round a vanished shore.
