About Your Paper.

Murfreesboro Free Press.
Reader, in perusing this journal you
may find some things not exactly suited
to your taste. You may find things
said which you would greatly prefer
unsaid. You may even take ohense
at some particular paragraph or sem
tence. You may find Unnecessary
omissions or an uncalled for addition,
according to your mind. But do you
ever stop to think what a variety of
whims poor newspaper man must
supply and study to satisfy? Do you
every realize the sad and deplorable
fact thst no man on earth could pub
lish paper to please all and offend
none? or that a man can be a public
speaker and never say anything which
some of his hearers cannot endorse?
Think OF these things, and when you
find an item which does not particular.
ly interest you, be charitable enough to
pass it by with the thought that per
haps that very item will be of more in
terest and benefit to your neighbor than
all else in the paper. Put charitable
and conservative construction upon all
things, and when you sit down to read
newspaper CLEAN such things as are
of interest to you and pass all other;
by with the knowledge that the things
which are OF no interest to you may be
of interest to others.

What is an Old Maid?

Southern World.
Never be afraid of becoming an old
maid. An old maid is far more hon>
orable than heartless wife; and "sin-
gle blessedness" is greatly superior, in
point of happiness, to welded life with
out love. Fall not in love, dear girls
beware !" says the song. But we do
not agree with the said song ON this
question. On the contrary, we hold
that it is good thing to fall in love,
or get in love, if the object be worthy
one. To fall in love with an honora-
BILE man is as proper as it is for an
honorable man to fall in love with a
virtuous and amiable woman and
what could be more gratifying spec
tacle than sight so pure, so approach
ing in its devotion to the celestial :?
No; fall in love as soon as you like
provided it be with suitable person.
Fall in love and then marry; but never
marry unless you do love. That's the
great point. Never marry for "home"
or husband" Never degrade your
self by becoming party to such an
alliance. Never sell yourself, body
and soul, on terms so contemplate.
Love dignifes all things it ennobles
all conditions. With love the MARI.
age rite is truly a sacrament. With
out it, the ceremony is base fraud,
and the act human dissertation.

would have puzzled wiser men than
Weston to read. "Sincere ? Then
give me the flower, and forgive my
thoughtleSsness."
"Forgive, Miss Moreland? If you
only knew"
Whatever he was going to say was
left unsaid, for Mrs. Moreland came
gracefully down the walk, basket and
pruning knife in hand.
"Mr. Weston, May will forgive me
for taking you away; | want help in
gathering my floral treasures may
/ beg your assistance ?"
Certainly" said the gentleman,
with a polite bow, perhaps Miss
Moreland will accompany us? ?"
May stood with the rese in her
hand, the smiles of suppressed merri-
ment running riot over her face. She
looked the personification of uncon-
scious beauty and happiness.
81 don't believe 1 care to go rowing
among the bugs and bushes" she
said, "excuse me, please" and turn
ing she walked off toward the house.
She went to her room and having de-
posted the "queen of teas" in a vase,
she sat down by her window in silent
thought. Why was she taking all
this trouble to please one whom she
had met but twice? She knew little
of Weston and still less of Clifton.
Why should she aid one, and dupe
the other? She asked herself this
question, and then fell to thinking.
What were her thoughts? There
was a light in the midnight eyes, a
gentle light, mild and soft beaming,
which had never been there before;
what was the naughty woman think
ing?
Long, long she sat there, her face
very grave, and the slumbering light
in her eyes. At length she looked
up and her eyes fell upon the flower.
Beautiful little nothiog," she said,
taking it from the vase, "you have a
work to perform and to set you about
it will wear you this evening"" So
saying she took the "queen of teas"
from the vase and placed it in her
hair. Going softly down stairs she
found that Robert and his wife were
gone and Weston was alone.
"Thanks," said he, "for leaving
your sanctum," and many thanks for
hOnoring my poor gift"
The evening passed pleasantly to
Weston; he displayed his converse
tional talent freely, and compliment
ed himself accordingly. Once, in the
midst of one of his most elegant
speeches he paused abrupt, and for
got to finihs, for May was listening
with the queerest smile he ever saw;
and the expression on her face, puz-
zled him as it had done in the gar
den that morning.
The next morning heawoke to find
May Moreland uppermost in his
thoughts. There was something
about this woman he could not un.
derstand. He thought of the queer
smile that had lit her face when he
saw no cause for merriment. He
thought of the unsearchable depths
of her great black eyes, which flashed
and sparkled with hidden thoughts
Then he wondered if he had in
duced her to give up the monotony
! of her retirement, by his handsome
person and fascinating ways. He die
g not doubt it; she was not the frs
g woman who had resisted for whit
