K.sS NE GOODBYE.

This is phrase heard in Che
hallway of many 8 house as the
man Of the home is hurrying
away to exchanges daily labor for
daily bread in the marts Of COM
MERGE
Sometimes it is the wife who
says it, sometimes infant lips pratt
tie the caressing words, holding
up sweet flower face, for the kiss
that's its warm sunshine of life,
and the strong man waits a mo-
ment to clasp his treasure and is
gone; and all day be wonders at
the peace in his heart;at the nerve
with which he meets business los
ses and bears business crosses.
The wife's kiss did it, the baby's
kiss did it; he realizes that it is
not wealth or position or luck that
makes our happiness. But the
influence we bear within us from
the presence of those we Lowell
Kiss me good-byel Oh, lips
that have said it for the last time,
would you ever ask again in those
y
pleading tones for the kiss SO tard-
lily givenl Would we not remem-
Der the relation the flower bears
to the universe is as carefully pro-
vided for as that of the brightest
star that the little action of a low
ing heart goes side by side
with the deed of heroic
worth; that love is the
dew of life; that the parting Of a
day may be the parting of a life
time.
Make the air vocal with kisses.
Many tears have been shed over
unkissed kisses, over thoss"dear as
remembered kisses after death"
but the time to kiss is at present
Kiss your children, man of bust
bess, before you leave home kiss
the mother of your children, and
that dear old mother who sits in
the chair by the window-no mat
ter if her cheek is wrinkleds her
heart is young, and go about your
day work with "Thank God"in
your soul that you have some one
at home to kiss.

I'VE PASS ON To sHUN EN-"
HawkinsvilIe Dispatch.

Hawkinsville Dispatch.
In November last, while on a
visit to Coffee county, we met MIR.
Henry Vickers and had talk
with him about the wonderfully
prolific pea which he and some OF
his neighbors cultivated last year.
The article in the Dispatch was
copied in some Of the newspapers
of the State, and u man at Valdos-
ia wrote to the Dispatch for the
address of Mr.. Vickers. IL now
seems that a farmer in Mac IN
county, in this State, has more
prolific pea than TINT one OF Mr..
Vickers. II is claimed that one
pea to an acre is enough, and
when the vines cover the field
they climb over the fence and run
over the woods, sometimes run
ming mile and q half from the
field. lie plum trees are growing
in the fence corners the vines will
grow up in the trees, and some
times as much as fifty bushels of
peas may be gathered from one
plum tree.
1t is wonderful statement, but
as it came from the Montezuma
Record, it should be taken with
great deal of allowance.
The Montezuma Record could
tell the truth, no doubt, If life or
death depended upon it, but it
would hardly injure its reputation
for Neracity on the subject of
fietd peas.

A COMPLICATED AFFAIR.

The recent marriage Of a man
and his stepmother has created a
good deal Of interests, and there
is no doubt that while the man and
the stepmother may have secured
their own happiness they have
Justly excited the indig nation OF
the bridegroom's brothers and Sis
ers. 1T is all very well for man to
transform his stepmother into his
wife, If he is so inclined, but he
ought to haze consideration for
the brides other step children, as
we'll as her private children. They
are now called upon to treat their
mother as a sister. How can they
express toward her whom they
have hitherto treated with the re-
spect due to u mother the oareless-
ness and contempt that boy nat
orally shows to sister? How
can they at d moments notice for
get the hand that spanked th EN-,
and play practical Jokes on the
isis" of whom they lately stood in
solemn awe? And how can the
boys or either the girls be expect
ed to accept as their father one
whom they have always known as
a brother? When the Bridegroom
SAYS to his twin brother, my son,
come with me to the woodsh ed, .
will the "son" forget how he was
formerly accustomed to fight his
brother behind the barn? " hen
the oldest girl is told that her Ia
Their" disapproyes Of her firta-
tons with young Smith, will she
meekly obey the father" whom,
in his capacity Of brother she has
been accustomed to hustle out OF
the room whenever young Smith
called upon her? Complications
such as these are inevitable W hcn-
ever a man with brothers and Sis
tiers marries his stepmother, and
they are quite enough to justly

The Brother in Black.

The colored brother is not re-
ceiving much coddling Just now
from his Northern friends. A
negro has been excluded from the
table and stateroom of steamer
running out of Washington City.
They are not allowed to take part
in the Moody revival meetings in
Washington, and in Massachusetts
they have been excluded from a
skating rink. Really, the negro
should emigrate North in sufi-
cient numbers to be more respect
ed; but negro rustling around in
q heated skating rink would most
likely make many folks search for
fresh air. The question of caste
is over and beyond municipal or
national statutes. Macon Tele-

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
N u. World.

N. y. World
These bloody shirt agitators
have one precious relic of the war
to which they cling with jealous
tenacity. Poor JEFF. Davis is
their capital. Whenever they find
it necessary to stir up their sec
tional hell-broth they use Mr.,
Davis as the spoon. He is an old
man with one foot or one and
half in the grave. For years he
has been a private citizen, living
Ia most retired manner, except
that at long intervals, with the ex-
cusable vanity of advancing years,
he makes a harmless speech. Yet
these uneasy politicians talk of
him as the old English nurses
used to talk Of the Black Doug
lass and try to frighten people
with his name.
Before the rebellion Jefferson
Davis served his country well in
peace and in wa. He won hon
or in the forum and wounds on
the field of battle. He served for
sixteen years in Congress, in the
Senate and in the Cabinet without
becoming a millionaire like John
Sherman. Slavery made him
rebel. Yet slavery was not the
fault of the South. 1t was its
misfortune-a curse alike to black
and white, inherited from the ma
ton from which we wrested our
freedom. Before the Confedera-
cy. the record of Jefferson Davis
in honor, oratory and statesman
ship and integrity would shame
some of his corrupt assailants in
the Senate and compare favorably
with any.
Why do the Republicans now
take this old man by the hair in
the Senate? Because they were
defeated in the election and think
they can rebuild Republicanism
by reviving sectionalism, They
fan the embers of corruption.
Mr.. Vance pronounces the old
woman's story got up by bah
bling General as groundless. His
word carries conviction with it.
The agitation in the Senate is a
bubble based on the error or i'm
agination of reporter. But sup
pose the Sherman story to be true.
| What public good is subseIved by
its revival at this day? What
does the Senate want of it? Is
jeff Davis on trial? Is the South
ern Confederacy on trial? Is not
the only trial going on the trial of
a lot OF INSCRIPTIONS partisans,
enraged at defeat, to tear open the
closed wounds of our unhappy
civil war?
Other nations lave had their
trials similar to our own. Yet
with restored peace has come re-
vived patriotism. 1t would be ia
tai to politician in Germany,
France, Spain, Italy or any Euro
pean country to assail his own
countrymen and to attempt to
prove them false and reasonable.
Yet this is the effort Of the Re
publican politician in the United
! States. He selects Jefferson Da-
Wis as the convenient instrument
Of his malice. Perhaps, if Mr..
Davis, instead Of leading the life
Of private citizen, had lent his
name, which, beyond doubt, has q
certain influence, to firm Of
Wall street brokers, had made
himself friendly with the Goulds,
yanderbilts and Fields, of the
moneyed classes, and had voted
The Republican ticket, he would
have been coated by the politi-
ticians who now hold him up as q
scarecrow, and lash themselves
into fury whenever his name IS
mentioned.

FOR THE LADIES.

Here's 10 the lass who is witty and fair,
Here's to the girl independent;

hair,
And another to brunettes respondent;

A smile" for the glance which is Pas
sion's reflex.

scatter

The fashion of arranging the
hair is now adopted from the
stage When Sarah Berndardt
visited this country she wore a
light wave, frizzed in front and
fastened in the Grecian coil at the
back. Everybody followed that
style, and even those who had new
er dressed their hair in the pre-
vailing mode copied the more fash
ionable sisterhood. Some funny
scenes were the result. A Gus
toner entered a store where hair
is sold and inquired: "Have you
any Barnyard waves?" A bash
full young husband was sent to
the same store on an errand by
his wife. ''Do you keep the
Bangtry Lang?" he asked. Then
seeing his mistake, he stopped
stammered and tried again. 81
mean have you the Lang Bang
try?' This was last year, when
the. Langtry bang ragged. Now
the Terry cut is the last agony in
hair. There is curly bang in
front, but the rest of the hair is
cut short and tapers off on the
nape Of the neck like a duck S tail.
1t is a pretty childish design
for the school girls and the rose
bud debutants; but already elder
ly married ladies have paralyzed
criticisms by adopting the Terry
cut.
There was small maiden named Ruth.
One day she was rather uncouth;

A Romance Of a Skating Rink.

She admired the handsome gen.
tleman who taught the young idea
how to skate in certain rink Of
that city. She accordingly bought
a cold watch on the installment
plan and presented it to him as a
Christmas gift. She had a very
nice time until the second install
ment on tho watch fell due. She
didn't have either a nice time OF
the money just then and The mex
orable installment man sent the
bill to her father. Then there
was a row. The father was even
more inexorable than the install
ment man. He made the girl get
the watoh back from the profes-
sor Of skating and return it to the
tradesman. She doesn't visit the
rink any more now"
