THE CHILD.
Who doesn't love the children hest
OF all2 He must be a very surly
person indeed
What, not listen 10 all their little
words with eager interest? Is there
any one? fear to tell you what
think Of him.
Tie poet-the great poet who
loved children perhaps best Of all
said:
The babe by It's mother lies batbed In
Joy,
Glide the hours uncouDted,
The sun Is Its toy,
Shines the peace of all being,
Without cloud In its eyes,
And the sum of the world
In soft miniature lies"
Think OF II he found the whole
world IN little child. That was
enough To make a poet Of him.
And did you know that the child
was poet yes, each and every one
Of them.
One day was passing down II
dirty city alley, and In that alley on
q door step there was a child.
looked again and again aud
there shone through the dirt on the
facs Of that little being n divine
smile. II was the smile we see when
the soul IL filled with some sweet
truth: 80 said. "What IL the
cause?" and up ! trudged TO the
little child, and there IL held In Its
hand, as proudly as king would
hold u scepter, little clover blossom.
Tell me not that there ever was n
child who did not love nature. Go
through the streets Of great city
with few flowers In your hand
and the little ragged urchlns will
follow you saying; "Mlster Mister!
Give me n flower" You have had
that experience yourself, no doubt.
A little child shall lead us we are
told. Did you ever think of II In
your doings ami gOIDgsand saylngs7
Did you ever think, IN any Of your
actions, what child would have
done In such case; what child
would have answered, whether
child would have cared, or been hur;
by your word or act, Why, sweet
reader do you know that II your
thought, every day, was just little
nearer the youthfulness of the child
you would not only be more beauti-
ful, and happier, hut that you would
live nearer TO the original genius
that Is hidden away deep under
your daily life of seeming common
places?
"Come let Us with the children |
live" snid the Immortal German
Froel el, who gave his whole life TO
the little child aud, 30 you see, he
Was genius, and is blessing all
ages.

THR HELP QUESTION.
The papers are discussing Ia sym
postum style the help question. All
the great woman pens Ia the country
have talked Il aud how queerly some
of them do argue. Most all OF them
come to NO conclusion whatever, as
far as the reader can discover aud the

Ii has been noted what George l..
Meenley. OF Kemper's brigade. says In
the last issue OF Grit. taking excep-
ton to Major Iryine's stating the
number OF Pickett's division at Is. 900
men Ia the charge on the last day at
Gettysburg. Major Irvine did not in
tend. neither did the writer intend. TO

was that number. or nearly 30. put In.

doing so: Appleton's encyclopaedia.
In the article on The Battle OF Get

who did not fairly advance. General
L.Cngstreet. who commanded the line
from which the charge was made, says
In the Century magazine. February.
1887, that General Lee told him
to take Pickett's division and make
the attack. and that he would re-
inforce him with two divisions OF
the third corps and that this would
make Is, 900 men. Gen. Longstreet
said that he told Gen. Lee hat there
never was n body OF Is. 900 men who
could make hat attack successfully.
However, he formed the two divisions
on Pickett's left, with orders TO take
up the line OF march as Pickett passed
before them in short eehelon. That

proven by Longstreet's remark later TO
Col. Freemauth. Of the English army.
who was u spectator. He called his
attention to their wayering condition
and said that they would not hold:
that Pickett would strike and be
crushed, and that the attack would be
n failure. Col. Alexander, who com
manded the Confederate artillery In
this action. la his article on Pickett's
charge wide Century magazine, Jan.
1880 speaks OF Petligrew's brigade

simply show that In that famous

a Horrible Death.

One OF Atlanta's society women tells
the following sad story In the Atlanta
Constitution
II was living In Augusta ut the
time OF the war. and had u very dear
friend leave for Florida In his com
pany. The day for the departure
came. and all the young ladies' vent
down on Broad street To see the sol
diers In gray take their leave. When the
company reached the place where |
was standing. my friend took Oft his
hat and gave me n smile. The sun
light touched his hair. and thought
n little sadly. that | had never seer SO
fine "A picture OF manhood. Well. the
days went by swiftly, eventually. and
n day the news came 10 me that my
friend was dead. but he had not died
on the battlefield as "A soldier. but by
the bite OF "A poisonous snake.
"In the same company was a young
physician whom the boys called the
snake charmer.' for often no would
have them In his pockets. In his hat
or around his waist. with no fear that
they would injure him. One day my
friend. who had often seen the doctor
handle the snakes without disaster.
found n small green serpent In his
tent. and Immediately proceeded to
catch IL and play with IL. Despite
the repeated importuning OF his com
rades TO put IL down. no let the
snake sting him on the hand. aud
deeming 1t OF no consequence. he ex-
tracted the poisonfrom thebite with his
mouth. and laughingly went 10 sleep,
thinking no more about the matter.
In the night he awoke his bed-fellow
with his moaning, and when n ligh.
IA made his tongue was found 10
have swollen 90 far out OF his mouth
that he could not close his lips Mt all.
He died during the day, and his body
now rests under the orange trees In
Florida"

possibility of an occasional exception
from the rule. A few DAYS ago n man
from Sutterville stopped his earl in

the two young men were constantly to-

Pretty Nell Edmonds was the belle

marked attention from all the prosper

favor 10 any one until Ray Kingsley
came, when il was observed she really
enjoyed his society, and everybody pre-
dicted "A speedy marriage and a happy
couple. Ray was IA general favorite, as
he quickly ''fell in" with all customs
and was at home anywhere. Indeed, AS
Frank said, RAY was made for IA west

strange that he easily formed the habit
OF drinking when asked. To his sur
