You've neat little wife at home, John,
AS sweet as you wish to see;
As faithful and gentle hearted,
AS fond as wife can be;
A genuine, homeloving woman,
Not caring for fuss and show
She's dearer to you than life, John

As, likewise, your breakfast and tea;
Your wardrobe is always in ORDER
With buttons where buttons should be.

You think she's rare little treasure
Then kiss her and tell her so.
She's good wife and true to you, John,
Let fortune be foul or fair;
OF whatever comes to you, John,
She cheerfully bears her share,
You ieel she's brave true helper,
And perhaps far more than you know.
Twill Tighten her end Of the load, John,
just to kiss her and tell her so.
There's a crossroad somewhere in life, John,
Where a hand on guiding stone
viii signal one " over the river"
And the other must 90 on alone
Should she reach the last milestone first, John,
Twill be comfort amid your woe
To know that while loving her here. John,
You kissed her and told her So

a GEORGIA ROMANCE.

Here is a romance which dates way
back in 1859. 1t is told in the Bruins
wick Times. At the time of its occur
renee Mercer University was located at
Penfeld, Ga, in Greene county, and was
nothing like the great school that it Is
now. In addition to telling pretty love
story, it illustrates the theory of coinci-
dences, or fate-whatever you may call
it.
Living near Pen6eld, just before the
war, was wealthy farmer, with two
beautiful daughters A young fellow
named Boykin, sutton for the hand OF
the eldest, induced, during his courtshlp,
a comrade named Daniel to accompany
him on visit to the girls. AS result,
in few months, double wedding was
arranged.
The day fixed for the nuptials came but
only one bridegroom Daniel did not ar
rive. His young sweetheart was sorely
distressed, but she bore up bravely and
was outwardly cheerful during the per-
Torrance of the other ceremony. 1t was
a hard blow. but she withstood it. On
that day Daniel disappeared and was
never seen in Penfield again.
-Four months later lady, young ana
fair, but with very sad expression, sat
upon the balcony Of Chicago hotel. 1t
was the deserted Penfeld bride. A few
moments later an intoxicated young man,
who had suddenly appeared near her was
taken away by policeman from the side
of the girl, whose violent distraction no
one understood. 1t was the deserving
groom.
During the war, when Sherman was in
Savannah, young soldier, who had dis
tinguished himself as a Confederate in
many battles was attempting to escape
the Yankees Rushing into a residence
he was concealed in wardrobe and es-
capped detection. On leaving the closet
he saw the young lady who had protected
him from the soldiers
There was marriage in Savannah next
day and the pretty deserted bride of years
before, and the recreant lover who had
deserted the Greene county belle at the
altar, were the bride and groom, and then
begana loving atonement that has not yet
ceased. All the parties are alive.
