II we had lived In younger days,
when MINISTRIES sang their ladies praise
In listening courts TO kings M
What music from the raptured strings
then had won TO name her face
Aud peerless gracei
In these brave days, when knightly love
Flared forth Its constancy to prove
II we had lived, how gladly
Had faced the foe and tourney cry
To meet brave death or deathless fame
In her dear name
But since we are condemned by fate
To walk the earth so sadly late
lay aside both lance and rhyme
And in tile manner Of the time,,
TO prove that passion in me thxIlls,
I--pay her bius.

GAINESVILLE, fla, Aug. II, 1856.
1. HARKINs billiard, ESQ, State Agent
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York:
DEAR SIe-I desire, through YOU. to
thank the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York for the promptness
with which they paid over to me the
sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, that be-
ing the amount for which the life of my
late husband, John X. Strous, was in
sured in your company. Though only
insured for the short space of eight
months, they paid the entire sum before
the expiration of SIXTY days. which is
seldom done. 1 cannot find words to
express my feelings of gratitude to you
for inducing my husband to take out
policy, thereby providing for myself, his
aged mother, and four little children.
L hope you may succeed in persuading
every married man in taking apology,
so that if it should please Providence to
call the father and husband, he could
die easier, knowing he was not leaving
his helpless family depending on stran-
gers.
Sincerely wishing the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York all the
success it deserves, l am yours, most re-
spectfully, MARGARET j. STRoUs.

Senator McCreery's Joke.

The mystic letters written on visiting cards
are source of bewilderment to the congress
men from rural districts who cannot decipher
their meaning. Once, that stalwart Ken
tnckian, Senator McCreery, met foppish
young constituent, who had just returned
from Paris, and said to him:
81 received your card the other day re-
cognized your fathers name, which is the
same as yours and | supposed that it was
his son, but what did the letters E. p, writ
ten in a corner, mean?"
Why, Mr.. Senator" replied the travelled
man, "it is customary in Paris to write the
initials of certain words on leaving cards.
For example, had been going away, should
have written p. p. c., the initials of pour
prendre c0nge-to take leave. AS it was,
calling myself, wrote e. p, the initials of
en- persOnne-in person.
Orr said McCreery, 81 understand"
A week or SO afterward the two met again
and the young man said:
Senator, received your card, but couldn't
comprehend what the letters S. B. A. N, in
the corner meant. Pray interpret them"
with pleasure" said McCreery his eyes
twinkling with humor. "S B A. N, are the
initials of Sent by a Niggerr"
The young man tried to laugh but really
couldn't see the point of the inscription.
Others did

thoroughly in a kettle on the stove. Make n
bag about eight inches square, of flannel, fill
It with the dry sand sew the opening care
fully together and cover the bag with cotton
or linen. This will prevent the sand from
sitting out, and will also enable you to heat the
bag quickly, by placing it in the oven or even
on top the stove. After dice using this you
will never again attempt to warm tie feet or
hands of sick person with bottle of hot
water or brick. The sand holds the heat a
long time, and the bag can be tucked up to
the back without hurting the invalid 1t is a
good plan to make two or three of the bags
and keep them on hand, ready for use at any

"Thatll settle him." she decided "An
faint no forgery, either, SEEM "a stands for
Angerona as well as Avis"
And enclosing the two letters in envelopes,

and carried them TO the postofflce herself.

ed, with sigh of relief, as she retraced her
steps toward home.
Major Hartletop had passed wretched
night. According TO his own statement he
had not slept wink.
When Jack Super, the hired hand, brought
in the mornings mail, as usual he felt a
nervous Jingle down TO his finger-ends.
With quaking hand he opened Miss An.
gerona's letter, and, much to his relief, read (:
~ have received your letter, and my answer
is No. can never marry you.
| A. DILwoRTu"
To say the Major was delighted would
| hardly express his feelings. He almost felt
| as if he could forgive Miss Angerona for call
| ing him bald headed scare-crow, in eonsi
deration of her having refused him.
Tucking the letter in his pocket, he went
whisllng about the house like school-boy.
After dinner, he saddled his riding mare
aud rode down 10 the village, TO see u trader
about buying some of his fat cattle for beef.
Tying his nag under shady tree pro-
ceeded towards the village store, and met
Miss Angrrona face 10 face.
She simpered, smiled and tried to blush
The major bowed coldly and passed on.
As,onished and chagrined, Miss Apgerona
detained him, and demanded the cause of
such behavior.
What behavior ?" asked the major, coldly
TO pass me without speaking, when
when We are engaged TO be married."
Engaged ~ cried the major. Why, you
have refused met"
II didn't; l accepted yeu!" contradicled
the lady, fatty.
81 have your refusal in black and whites
here it is !" lie retorted.
And taking crumpled note from his |
pocket, he read it out to her
"I-I-it's a mistaken gasped Miss An
corona. 81 never meantit!
But you wrote it, and that's enough for |
me- Good morning, ma'am !"
And the major lrotted on to see about SELL |
ing his beeves, while Miss Angerona stood |
angrily berating herself for her own blunder.
Il must have sent the wrong letter, and |
now that Alder will get the other What

And she FASTENED her steps homeward to
prevent further mischief from the unlucky
mistake
But she was too late. The house was shut
up; no signs of life about, no Avis to be seen.
On the dining table lay note, which said
"DEAR AUNT Since you have accepted Mr..
Alder's proposal for me, you cannot blame me
for marrying him. We are gong to the minis
ters now, and will be happy to see you at our
home whenever you choose to come. AS ever,
your niece, AVIS"
Miss Angerona's feelings were not greatly
improved when, a few weeks later, she read
the marriage notice of Major Anthony Hartle-
Dop and Candace Flukes
And so Miss Angerona Dilworth had lost
both her lover and her niece all through her
own treachery, and Major Hartletop never
repented the lucky escape he had made

A Charmed Word.

What do you think the beautiful word
wife" comes from 1t is the great word in
which the English and Latin languages con
quered the French and Greek. l hope the
French will some day get word for it in
stead of that Femme. But what do you think
it comes from ? The great value of the Saxon
words is that they mean something. Wife
means weaver" You must either be house
wives or house moths, remember that. In
the deeper sense you must either weavemen's
fortunes and embroder them. or feed upon
and bring them to decay. Wherever true
wife comes, home is always around her. The
stars may be over his head, the glow-worm
in the nights cold grass may be the fire at
his feet, but home is there, and for roble
woman it stretches far around her, better
than houses ceiled with cedar or painted with
vermillon-s shedding its quiet light for those
who else are homeless.
