The time will come when winter Will ask US !:
"What were you doing all The summer
The Sabbath had come and gone, a
ouiet. country Sabbathday, whose
heayen-like stiffness was broken Only by
tho music OF the birds which had their
homes in the trees aud hedges around
and sang their sweet P1anS OF rejoicing
during all the hours OF sunshine. They
had ali gone to church and had whiled
away the afternoon playing with the
children and visiting the stock and pigs
and other live things on the farm be-
hind the house.
And by tacit consent We're Nugent
had found herself walking up and down
the kitchen-garden with Lumley, past
the espaliers all in bloom now, past the
strawberry beds, to where the lly-ouds
were lust beginning TO show, aud they
conld look over the wel-trimmed hedge
across the green meadows to the dis
tant line of the sea.

riedly. after little Beta had come near

"WeIl, il l should come down again
whilst you are here, may l..take a rougn
sketch of you? IL would be great
Measure and great service to me.
"Ob. yes-only, l shall not be here
forever" she said, turning to go towards
the house. But why do you want 10

Poor, misjudged Lumley! He had no
suspicion, excepting that perhaps some
man in the time gone by might have
wounded the heart Of the girl he loved,
aud so have made il more difficult for
those who came after. And he was in
love, genuinely, utterly in love. He
went to his bed that night dszzled by
the glory of her wonderful eyes, the re-
frain of her song ringing IN his ears
We parted. l and you.
IN the tender days
or love that was real and truet
But fate came between US
Our dream Ger
And forever we are two.
Tho words Written down do not I'M
press one much but they were set to
dreamy melody with pathetic fling in
the refrain
Fate came between.
Our dream was Ger.
And forever, and fOEeyer-we are two.

WEIGHING MACHINES.

Weighing machines and scales Of
of some kind were in the use 1900
B. c., for it is said that Abraham at
that time weighed out" 400 shekels
of silver, current money, with the
merchant to Ephron, the Hittitte, as
payment for piece Of land, including
the cave and all the standing timber
''in the field and in the fence. This is
said to be the earliest tranfer of land
of which any record survives, and that
the payment was made in the presence
Of witnesses. The original form OF the
weighing scale was probably a bar
suspended from the middle, with a
board shell suspended from each end,
one to contain the weight, the other
to contain the matter to be weighted,
the steelyard was probab so called
from the material Of which it was
made and from its former lengh. Its
also known as the Roman balance,
and is of great antiquity.

An old Californian saws he c.

An old Californian says he can
readily remember when Sam Clemens,
as Mark Twain was then called, was
a very INDECENT reporter on the Morn
ing Call in San Francisco, not having
money enough often to buy his dinner
He was standing disconsolate one day
on the corner Of Montgomery stree,
with a cigar box under his arm. An
acquaintance saw him and asked him
what he was about. II am moving, y
said the humorist, carrying with me
all my worldly goods" He then
opened the box and displayed his en-.
tire wardrobe, as he styled it-an old
claypipe, a.paper collar and a well-worn
knecktie. He is now worth probably
s1,O00,0O0, but he got this, not by
writing, but by an advantageous mar
riage and by the publication of other
persons books, which he considers the
only profitable kind of authorship.
An intimate friend of Twain says that
it is easy to get joke out of him as
it is as hard to get dollar.

WHAT McENERY THOUGHT IN
1880

In his message to the Legislature
in 1882, Gov. Sam. D. McEnery said,
speaking Of the Louisiana Lottery:
"The Constitution declares gam
bling to be vice, yet it encourages
that vice in its worst forms, not only
inciting to breaches of faith and en-
bezzlement in the effort to get rich in
the turn of wheel, but demoralizing
society, corrupting politics and impsd-
ing legislation"
"Inciting to breaches of faith and
embezzlement in the effort to get rich
in the turn of a wheel" Is this not
true? Not only will men embezzle
their employers money to play the lot
terry, but they will take bread from
their childen in order to do it. The
lottery craze takes possession of many
people and while some play the
monthly keno game, others are in
fatuated with the daily drawings. In
New Orleans, men, women and child
rem play the daily concern. If the
lottery amendment is adopted these
daily shops viii spring up in every
village in the State to entice yourself,
your children and your children's
children.
"Demoralizing society, corrupting
politics and impeding legislation, !"
says Gov. McEnery. He thinks this
in 1882, and bravely gives it to the
Legislature. The lottery does "de-
moralize society," it does corrupt
politics." and it has time and again
''impeded legislation" If the lottery
does all this when it gives the State
but $40, 900 per year, as now, what
tremendous power for evil it will have
if it can turn over to the State a cor
rupting fund amounting to 81, ,250,000
per annnm.-Alera,,dria Town Talk.

The anti-lottery press of this State

The anti-lottery press of this State
is in the minority, and nearly every
paper is a private enterprise, while the
lottery press has a big, rich, aoulless
corporation at its back-that is, that
portion Of it that is not the actual
property'of the lottery company, for
it is we'll known fact that the COM
pany owns several plants and a con-
trolling interest In several others.
This enables them to starve out the
anti-lottery press, unless the anti-lot-
terry people support it with their pat
tronage. The lottery papers can do
this by adopting starving rates. It is
the interest of the lottery to keep its
side of the question before the people,
even if it has to do it at it's own ex-
pense. Therefore, if the anti-lottery
people want to win the fight they must
keep their side of the question before
the voters Of the State too, and to do
this they must rally to the support Of
their press.-Progessive Age Ruston,'
Lincoln Parish.
