The Queer Inscription on "a Southern

at happened this way" continued
Plunkett. There never was but one
locomotive made in Georgia up to the
time that one was made in Atlanta dur
ing the war. They needed engines
mighty bad then, and they went to
work in the shops at Atlanta and turned
out as good er looking little locomotive
as l ever seed, and. they named it Sun
shine, and the railroad men took on
over it er heap, and every engineer
wanted it for his.
Things was hustling outen Atlanta,
for old Sherman was doing some of his
swinging erround, and it was feared
he'd get the control of the Macon &
Western then, and this little engine
was erbout to be shut of, so the engi-
neer he fired up and folks piled onto it
and cut she started for Macon. She
was er sailing erlong as fast as ever
an engine run them days when, before
you could wink your eye, she busted.
That was the last of Sunshine and it
was the last of er heap of folks, but it
was war times and fifteen or twenty
folks killed wasn't noticed worth talk
ing erbout, but in the wreck among the
dead and wounded was found little
baby that nobody has ever claimed, and
the little thing was NOT scratched bv
the wreck, but just set there in er little
place and laughed and crowed Nam.
nam, nam, and we knowed by that it
was the little child of some poor refu-
geeing woman. They took good care
of the little thing, and it lived eight
months after that, and the strange
thing is that it never heard an engine
nor seed er car but what it would say
them same words over, Nam, man,

New Work for Women.

Women have to work hard In the old world. A London writer in the Boston Trapeiier says New occupa- tions for women are among the needs of the fair sex here, where they are al ready employed as hotel clerks, ticket sellers, ushcrs in theatres, and, sorry to relate, bartanders. Nearly every bar in England Is attended by young women. But the new field for the ladies Is that of house. painting. Not merely decorations of interiors, but good every day painting of the out side of houses and other buildings One agency" alrcady finds employ ment for more than eighty ladies' In "exterior and interior house. painting and decoration"
 Window gardening Is carried to great success in England. Societies in aid of 1t exist everywhere. The Lem- beth Flower association, which has just held an extremely beautiful exhi- bltion of window gardening, has for its motto: "Make your house bcauti- ful; bring to 1t flowers" The arch- bishop of Lambeth palace is A great advocate Of this society.

 Iris vain to plesd-vaiTs IS my asking You have no heart for woes like mine
 Each word. each look, is cold-repelling- Yet once my eyes were bright as thine,
 And fortune smiled on me and Ellen. oh: buy my flowers, pretty maid.
 Do n0t turn from me with such acorning: To-morrow's sun shai: ssc them fade
 As will fade away ere morning. Well nursed these buds, so sweet and fair, Soon into fullness would be swelling, And SO, with nourishment and care,
 Would I and my poor sister Ellen. She's lying now in attic room,
 And for crust of bread is cryingi Dim is her eye, gone is her bloom.

 And are within our lone cells sleeping, No mourning friends will come our way Der our low mounds therenl be no weeping Unknown we've lived, unknown we'll die, For us no hearts with sorrow swelling; There's none to drop tear. or sigh,
 For Mary and her sister Ellen. No one has bought of me today,
 And night IS now the town o'ershading. I feel soon shall fade away
 As these poor dropping flowers are fading. My soul is struggling to De free
 It loathes it's wretched, earthly dwelling My limbs refuse to carry me

Diverting Flies. PrnYiliencA Journal.

He was eating & substantial break fast of steak and eggs In well known restaurant A few days since, and the meal was enlivened by the presence of small army of hungry flies, which perched contentedly upon the food, and elung thereto much closer than q brother, varying their exercise by lighting on his face to rest from their lsbors. He bore the ordeal with su- preme patience and unconcern for a time, but he had ordered 6 square meal, and as the waiter had deposited the check therefor, he naturally de- sired to appropriate the major part of the edibles to himself, and to contrib ute but little to the voracious insects.
 Finally, he muttered an expressive oath as a detachment of the enemy made bold attempt 10 carry of q roll, and dipping his spoon into the sugar he proceeded to erect sundry little piles of the sseohsrif;e pellets .. intervals of several feet from his plate, to which he invited their attention and earnestly besought the buxzing besiegers to communicate their good fortune to their relatives and friends.
 The experiment worked to charm, for the dainty creatures preferred the sugar to the rump steak, and they feasted quite royalty and in utter con- tempt of the young man. When he left the table his face wore triumph ant smile, and he paid his check with 80 much promptness and satisfaction that the clerk ventured to remark that the meal must have been uncommonly well prepared. He replied, after some hesitation, that he had given the flies chance and was at peace with All the world.

Why Women Wed. ~Hah" in New York Star.

 A man asked me the other day how women ind hushAnde. 1t was such a pHsxling question to mo that oonati- tuted myself a committee of one and wont around among lot of married women to SO how thcir husbands proposed to them. n~
 There wasn't one who had ever had an absolute romantic avowM of love Therc wasn't one whose husband had gotten down on his knees, caught tho loved one's hand and besought of her, unless she wished to sre him stark aud cold with . broken heart, that she would wed himl There wasn't one who had over known tho rapture ot being held. with pistol pointed at her head, while the brave lover pro- nounced that, unless she accepted him, he would kill her and then himself Thero wasn't one who had been gained even at the dagger's point, and not a single wife had boon drugged and welded while In semi- conscious state
 Dorothy, I confess to A certain amount of disappointment. Tho pear est could got as to how the question of marriage had been reached was al. ways that they drifted into 1t.
 This Is deliciously vague, but if seems to mean that they knew tho man, that he had tho privilege of holding their hands and criticising their frocks tor some time. and that then, when there was no special ex. citement in Wall street, a presidential election wasn't going on, nor any thing else that was distractlng, they sug- gested that 1t was about time for them to get married.
 This is the general experience. And l think 1t sin and shame, Few women have moro than one opportu- nifty to marry, and that ought to be accompanied by all the frllls and trivolties that tho beat novel writer ever dreamed of. The Howclls and James business in tho way of classic love making may be most desirable for nervous people; It may calm and soothc them, but when champagne or love arc offered 1t wants to Dc spark ling, and it wants to taste as If such nectar had never been offered before.
