of Atlanta, who was in our city this
week, that recently a Young lady of
Jackson county who had engaged her.
self to several suitors, fell upon a novel
expedient for settling the destiny of at
least one of them. They appear to have
been equally favored by her. and to
have heartily aided her in her schemes.
On a certain occasion she notified
them that the first of the three arriving
the next day duly prepared for the GER
emony she would then and there marry.
The good faith of the agreement was as
sured and conceded by each lover and
he departed that night bent ON an early
start for the prize on the following day.
Two of the young men were brothers.
The third was unencumbered by any tie
which probably accounts for his success.
The latter set out betimes for the fair
ones home, and was present before the
other two.
The Jackson maiden was true to her
word. On presenting his license pre-
parations were at once proceeded with
for the marriage. While the ceremony
was being performed the second suitor
appeared, and about its conclusion the
hardest of the trio came upon the scene.
The belated lovers were really left the
unusual office of being the first to con-
gratulate tiancee and a rival on their
marriage and to partake of the break
fast in honor TO one forever lost to them
selves. As for the successful young man,
he had all the fun, and it is supposed
that the situation was hugely enjoyed
by himself and friends.-G Greensboro

Common Sense for Young Girls.

1t should be the pride and ambition
of every girl to develop into a true
woman; or, in another form, it should
be the pride and fixed determination Of
every girl to be true to her womanly
instinct, to resist the approach of evil,
to be true to her sex and to the race.
No higher encomium can be given you
after your earthly race is run by those
who are left behind than to say of you
as they shed the tear of affection over
your bier, you were true woman.
Whatever else is desirable for you to
have. to enjoy, to attain, is nothing in
COMPARISON with the halo of glory
belonging to any one of your sex-that
gives greater luster to character-who is
true woman. The foundation for this
is laid in your girlhood period during
the years of youth called the .sblushing
period" of your days.
The first essential to attain true
womanhood is to commence the work
at home. The home circle is the place
for you in which to lay solid founda-
ton. No place on earth must be as
dear and sacred to you as home-the
fireside, be it ever so homely. The
fathers fireside is the safest spot on
which to spend your leisure hours.
Appreciate it Alright, and you will not
have cause for sighs and reproaches and
bitter lamentation in after life.
Be a good daughter. Honor your
father and your mother above everybody
else on earth. Do SO because..it is right
and eminently proper in itself. 1t is
best to do so. Try day in and day out
to do something to gladden. the heart
OF your mother and draw the eye of
your father in admiration upon you.
Consult your parents before taking any
important step in life. No girl 1oseth
by making the wishes of her parents the
law by which to act Remember that
they know far better what is for your
true interest than you possibly can
know.

and further, if allowed to, she
! generally will do it. If mothers will
guide instead of thwart this tendency,
1t will be vastly to the benefit of their
| girls and not at all to tine injury of their
boys. There would seem to be no good
reason why the training and education

not in too great hurry to impose upon

She comes into the world little, happy,
free human being, caring not whether
she is boy or girl SO long as her di-
vine rights of food, love, and a good
time generally are not denied to her.
God gives her life; do not YOU, because
she is girl, curtail her liberty or for
bid her the pursuit of happiness in her
own and Natures way? Things that
are mice" for boy are mice" for his
sister while both are little children.
Things that are ''prOper" for a healthy
active girl are usually just as proper"
for a healthy, active boy. 1t is a mistaken
notion that certain roughnesses, a GER
tain disregard of the proprieties, a GER
tain boisterous liberty, may be allowed
to our boys because they are boys, when
they are not permissible to our girls.
Would we have our girls rough and
boisterous, thenP By no means. And
just as little should we have our bows SO.
But we would have our boys strong,
athletic, fond of exercise; we would let
them run and climb, and even shout, if
the exuberance of their spirits demanded
it-all in the proper time and place.
We should not deny the same privi-
leges to our girls. so far as their strength
allows them to take them. Some forms
of exercise, to be sure, such as jumping
rope, running up and down stairs, and
the like, are TO be deprecated for girls
Many mothers and physicians think
them not desirable for boys. But if
girl goes fishing with her brother; if
she can walk as unwearily; if she can
climb tree with as monkey-like facili-
ty; if she can drive nail straight with
out detriment to her fingers, and has a
Yankee dexterity with alack-knife; if
in shooting she does not have to aim
behind her to hit something in front of
her-then she is both a useful and a
happy girl. She is laying up strength
against the evil days to come, when so
many women helplessly capitulate to
their NERVES" She is keeping her
brother in purer and more refining
companionship than any afforded by
the rough village boys.-Ba6yhood.

The asyium-bound poet-let him hang in the

For competitive "quacktng' no doctor can

How dearly we loved the old family rooster,
That strutted and cackled, as proud as
knight;
But, drinking some rum-which he hadn't been

He died-and the Coroner said he was tight.
How dearly y-beloved was the moss-covered cat

Whose nocturnal music delig hted the people;
He gave his last concert, caught his last little

How dearly and muchly we loved the young

The brass-throated doglet that howled in
the dark;
He was strangled to death by the moose in his
stay-line,
And buried down deep by the side of his
bark.
