SHE Loved Him In Poverty.

ATLANTA, Sept. 24.-Richard IIornip,
poor German, settled near Anstell
some time ago. He was an honest,
nard- working farm labOrer, and won
the respect and confidence OF all who
knew him. lie received but little at.
tentlon from the women in the settle
ment. But there was one poor girl.
Miss OShlelds, who was always Kind
to the stranger, and their friendship
soon ripened into love. AS both were
very poor, matrimOny was not thought
of.
n few months ago a letter with a
foreign stamp arrived at the Anstell
postotlce, directed to Richard IIornig.
1t announced to him the death of his
Iather in Germany, and that he was
sole heir 100000 marks. Mr. IIornig
visited Germany, had no trouble in
getting his fortune, and returned to
Anstell last week. OF course this
change in his condition made marked
change in the reception accorded him.
But his heart was still true to the little
woman who had been his friend when
ne was poor stranger, and he made
her his wife to-day.
Miss O'Shields was taken from the
cotton field ana arrayed in silk and fine
linen and surrounded by all the luxuries
that wealth could buy. Her husband
says that he intends to send her to the
best schools in the old world to fit her
FOR her new life. When asked why he
did not marry an educated girl, Mr..
llornig replied that such showed him
no attention when they thought him a
penniless stranger, and he would always
ieel, Snonld ne marry one Of them, that
ms Wlfe wanted him only for his money.
lie knew the bride he had selected truly
,oFed MN, and this, he said, was what
he desired above all else.

"sOme Good Place TO Co To-"

We often receive letters from discon-
tented people, who want to know ''some
good place to go to" where they can
find everything to suit them. The
search after such aplace Is, OF course,
vain. 1t is doubtful il any one ever
found contentment by looking after 1t
in change of locality. The fact is, a
man must grapple with the circum.
stances which surround him, and 'con-
quer peace" or else go without it.
Contentment depends on the state of the
mind; and it is no use to try to run away
from discontinued mind. because the
mind always goes along. Men have
sought to escape trouble in that way
for ages, and have always failed. After
all their changes of residence in search
of contentment, they have one after
another come to the same conclusion:
"vain, very vain, my weary search 10 find
That bliss which only eenters In the mind.
