FALLING IN LOVE.

A Pretty Little Love Story Worth Any
Ones While to Read.
Two business men, who have long
been warm friends, met in a.restaurant
the other day. One of them had
gloomy look, and his friend finally ask
ed him what the matter was. 1t was
the old story His son had fallen in
love and wanted to marry girl whom
he had not known a year. The father
was opposed to the match, but he did
not like to interfere.
Let me tell you story" said his
friend, and then you may agree with
me that it is of no use to try to account
for ones falling in love. Every one
does it differently. know man who
met woman one summer good many
years ago. He saw her perhaps only
half dozen times. He was poor man,
ard-working and ambitious and was
seeking his fortune in a big city, say
New York. When his scant vacation
was at an end he went back
to his work and pegged along.
In two years he had saved
enough money to feel able to afford an
other little vacation. He hadn't heard
a word from that woman in the mean
time, but he sacrificed very large part
of his vacation fund in getting to the
town where she lived. He had only
three days to stay there. and before he
went back to the city he told the girl
that he loved her; that he had waited
two years for the opportunity to tell
her; that their lives ran in such differ
ent channels that he might not see her
again for two years more. He took her
promise back with him.
They got married, and every day of
his life he thanks God for. the fate that
led him to that little country town al-
most thirty years ago. 3

A SINGULAR HORSE.


Dean Swift's Clever Ruse to Get
Seat
funny story is told of Dean Swift,
who was a witty man and fond of
joke at the expense of other people, as
most witty people are. One very cold
night, when he was travelling, he
stopped at little inn. There was only
one fire in the house, and the guests of
the inn, crowding about it, left no place
for the newcomer.
With a solemn face Dean Swift called
to the hostler, and told him to get a
peck of oysters Immediately and take
them out to his horse.
''Will your horse eat oysters?" asked
the astonished man.
"Just take them out and .see," said
the horses master.
The people around the fire stared at
the man who owned this curious horse,
and nearly everyone of them left his
seat and went out to see the remark
able horse ca ting oysters.
Then the cunning Dean made him
self comfortable in the warmest corner
and ordered his supper.
Presently back came the hostler,
with the disa ppointed crowd after him.
"He won't touch them, sir!" cried the
bostler
''Then take the foolish animal all
the oats he can eat,'' replied Dean
Swift. "You can bring the oysters
here. I'll eat them for supper myself y

PRAYER on THE EVE OF BATTLE
The following incidentwas furnished the
Clarke Courier, being called out by the
recent death of Rev. Richard T. Davis,
Of Leesburg:
On the afternoon of the second days
fight in the Wilderness, u cavalry
were withdrawn from the thick timber
land, and our regiment-the Sixth Eir-
ginia, of which the late DR.. Davis was
then chaplain-was placed in line in an
old field. Gen. LomaX, our gallant
brigade commander, was sitting on his
horse q short distance from US. The
firing in the woods becoming nearer
and more terrific, it was evident our
dismounted cavalry were being driven
back, when one one of Gen. LomaXs
couriers galloped up to our beloved
Flournoy, and said, it seemed to me at
the time, with a feeling of intense com
miseration-for the woods were full
of'ema-"Colonel, Gen. Lomax says you
must hold your regiment ready to charge
that road at a moments notice I'm
mediately our dearly beloved chaplain,
DR.. Davis, rode to the front, and in
his usual placid but earnest style, said
" Major, | think this is a good time to
offer prayer" l thought with him,thatif
ever an occasion more appropriate than
another could arise for prayer, that
time had arrived. Acting upon the
chaplain's suggestion, the command
attention. was given by our regi-
mental commander, and instantly every
mans hat was raised, and there V
went up from the lips of man to the
God of battles a more fervid, earnest
prayer than that delivered by u de-
voted chaplain.
Well, in Il minute the same courier
came with an order from the General
to charge the road. attention. was
heard, and every mans hat was re-
placed. "Draw sabres-forward-trot
-gallop," and away we went upon the
pcrilous edge of q stubborn fight. Just
hcre-will you believe-I had the GU
riosity to look around and see what Dir.
Davis was doing under these circum-
stances, and in that hasty glance be-
held him trotting along behind us with
hat off, and doubtless petitioning that
a mightier arm than those uplifted and
bearing the forged Implements of war
BIC thrown about us for u protection.
Could anything be more pathetic and
more thoroughly characteristic of the
man?
