With folded hands snd downcast eyes.

When they lost their needed sleep and rest,
And every bre ath was prayer
That God would leave their little babe
TIC their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel that you've no more need
OF their love and counsel wise.
For the heart grows strongly sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes;

You never forget them quite
That you deem 1t pleasure, when far away,
Long lettere home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy friends,
Who make your psstime gay.

For the sad old folks 1t home.
With locks fast turning white.
Are longing to hear Of the absent enc.

A Unique Wreath.
THE WIDOW OF WATERBURY MAN PRRPE-
TUATES HIS MEMORY.

THE WIDOW OF A WATERBURY MAN PRRPE-
TUATEs HIS MEMORY.
A special dispatch from Waterbury
Conn, says "a unique piece of handi-
work has just been completed by Mrs
Sophia Laramore, of this city, who is now
approaching her SEVENTEEN year. 1t is a
mortuary wreath in memory Of her hus-
band, who was dead nearly five years be-
fore the curious symbol was begun. She
made it of relics of her late husband, and
of articles which were the property of the
wives who preceded her. The frame is OF
putty, into which, while soft, the widow
placed, among others, the following az
ticleS In the centre of the top cross piece
are the spectacles of her late lamented and
a small vial containing the pills which
these, there are many small stones which
he had treasured during life, his jacknife,
piece OF candy, (Which, she says, he had
left uneaten), buttons Of all kinds from
his old clothing, and a small bottle con-
tanning cheese made by his firstswife.
Cali of this collection is labeled, as for
instance, 'The smelling bottle used by the
wife before me. Inclosed in the frame is a
nj ture OF him whose memory the wreath is
supposed to perpetuate. The wreath above
the portrait is composed almost entirely OF
fIoIuers and leaves, each of these made
ethel of some portion of his coat, waist
coat trousers, neckties OF suspenders, and
worried together artistically The shirt in
which he died is honored by having made
from it "a snowy bird, too wonderful and
strange for description. just outside the
wreath are placed suspender buckles and
watch chains entwined with the hair of the
mother of his first wife. Some of the hair
from his own head has been made into ten
drills and the StamenS of one of the flowers
is of the material that lined his coffin. On
another side of the wreath is a bunch of
raisins he bought her the winter before he
died, saying: Now don't cook ANY of
these, but eat every one.' Balancing the
raisins are three wires, each supporting
one of his teeth, and behind them is the
last tooth-pick he ever used,''

Why Tax Straw Hats?

A fashionable lady bathing in the sea
at Long Branch or Newport has her
fashionable bathing suit capped by Pc
culiar looking straw hat. The wide
caves of this hat are tied underneath her
chin, causing its fore and aft aspects to
appear like two old scuttle bonnets
placed back to back. From Maine to
Florida fishermen affect coarse straw
hat with a wide, turned up brim, and
seem to take great comfort therein. Out
on the great western farms men of all
ages, in hot weather, seem addicted tc
wearing straw hats with wide brims
turned down. The fashionable lady, the
fisherman and the farmer are all wear
ing precisely the same kind of hat.
Where do these hats come from? They
are so marvelously cheap that they al
most seem like Topsy. ''to have growed. >
The great majority of them cost the re.
taller only thirty-five cents a dozen. II
seems impossible that any man or ma
chine could do so much plating for SO
little money.
These straw hats are manufactured
abroad in the first instance. They come
from different countries, and have been
accordingly divided by the trade into
four classes. Italy gives US ''Leghorns;'
Spain sends us ''Malagas;" South Ameri-
ca exports to us "Curacoas, and from
China we get "grass hats"
With the exception, perhaps, of the
China variety, these hats are all what is
known as "by products. Even the
easily contented peasants of sunny Italy
could hardly afford to make it the bust
ness of their lives to furnish this coun-
try with straw hats at a remuneration
Of, at most, fifteen cents dozen. But
children need not be very strong or very
big to wander about their homes during
the summer time and collect the wild
straw in small bundles. Then when the
long nights arrive, all the members of
the family sit and plat the straw into
braids and then stitch the braids into
shapeless hats.
These hats are quickly bought up by
exporters. They are then packed in
bales, which are subjected to hydraulic
pressure in order to diminish their bulk
When they become nothing more nor
less than flat disks of straw by this treat
ment they are shipped to the United
States.
There is nothing like these straw hats
made in this country; no grass or straw
so suitable, no labor so little worth. Yet
the keen eye Of Uncle Sam makes them
out as special object from which the
inhabitants of his territory should be
sternly protected by an ad valorem duty
of 80 per cent. In this way the bloated
surplus was increased in the year 1887
by s1s9, 344.
Once in this country, after the grasp
ing surplus has had its pound of flesh,
the hats get on well enough. There are
several large factories in Massachusetts
which shape them and bleach or dye
them, sometimes even ornament them
with ribbons. Then they are sold to the
jobber, after profit has been calculated
on net cost, plus 80 per cent. duty. The
jobber calculates his profit on the same
basis. The 80 per cent. grows, like a
rolling SNOWFALL, until it finally causes
the consumer to pay about double what
he might if the senseless tariff on these
cheap straw hats was abolished.

I assure you l have never felt so
well in twenty years as I do now. It
seems as if new world had opened

have cause to become an enthusiast,

praise.

I am treating a case Of secondary

with medicine in this disease and I

A Shouting Time

From the Lynchburg Virginian.l

AGO.
From the Lynchburg Virginian.l
In letter in the last number of the
Richmond Christian Adc0cGte, DR.. John E.
Edwards, of Court Street Methodist church
gives an account of matchmaking he at
tended in this city over half century ago,
brief allusion to which was made two or
three days ago. Following is an extract
from his letter:
Fifty-four years ago, December, 1885,
was closing my first year in the itinerancy
on the old Campbell Circuit. 1t so hap
pened that l was in Lynchburg on the last
night in the year, and attended a watch
night meeting in the old Methodist church,
afterwards Holcombe HalD. Rev. Hen
ry 3. Cowles was pastor in 1885. The Con-
ference year was near its close, and the an
nual session was to be held in the month
of February. 1886, in the city of Norfolk.
The inevitable watch-night meeting was
held, as before stated. And such meet
ing The house was crowded. The meet
ing began at 10 o'clock, and was continued
till after midnight, AS it now occnrs to
me, the late Bishop Early preached short
sermon, and then followed singing and
prayer, interspersed with the narration OF
Christian experience.
Among the noble women who partici-
pated in that watch-night meeting, recall
old Aunt Norvell and her daughter, Mrs.
John NJ. 0tey, Mrs. Truslow, Miss Betsy
Echols, Mrs. Cannon, Mrs. EARLY, and the
dear, good Sister Ann NJ. Saunders, who
survived them all. Then there was Sister
Lewis, woman singularly gifted in
prarer, and half-score Of others that
time would fail me to mention. AS the
midnight hour approached, the congrega-
ton was called to silent prayer, and then
Sister Lewis was called on to pray. She
warmed up as she proceeded. and as the
midnight hour was struck universal
shout of praise and thanksgiving shook the
house. Misunderstanding and mutual and re-
ciprocal congratulations followed; Such
is but faint description Of the watch-night
meeting that closed the year 1885, and
ushered in the New Year, 1886, now fifty
four years ago. Of all that were present
at that meeting, who were then members
of the Methodist Church in Lynchburg,
can recall but one besides myself. George
W. Valentine still lives. He was present,
and then comparatively a young man.
Brother Valentine is still typical Metho-
dist of the olden time. His long life has
been living commentary on the religion
which he prOfeSSed in his bOyhOOd,

THE VANQuIsHED MAN.

Who speaks of freedoms joy to me
In accents brave?
All, let who will, or can, be free;
l am slave!
No chains my limbs or body fret
With twist and twinge-
No dungeon walls all round me set
And yet cringe;
Ibend, bow, sneak, stink,
crawl and creep;
I scarcely ever get a wink
OF quiet sleep.
Above my breath dare not speak,
Upstairs steal
Fearful my shoes might chance to squeak
Or door hinge squeal-
You wonder why my manhood bows
Thus basely low?
There's new baby in the house
Now, do you know?
