The kiss that a mother lays
On her child's fresh lips

The first long kiss Of love,
When time is not

The kiss on unaDSwering clay
When dead lips tell
We must sob farewell

Seven Lean Men ut n Cue.

From the Atlanta Constitution
EAt recent barbecue in SouthW est
Georgia seven strange and hungry
looking men were seen hudHird to-
gether in a corner Of the woods le;note
from the big crowd.
But now and then, while the "car-
casses" were roasting in the pits, one
of the men would come forward, get a
whitt' Of the savory meats and return
to his diSconsolate companions.
No one seemed to know the neu-
they were strangers to all, and yet
they had the appearance OF farmers
who had raised b'g crop of cotton at
6 cents.
But every body knew them after the
horn blew for dinner.
With a mad rush those hungry-look-
ing men made for the table, and with
wild eyes and open mouths they went
to work.
Shoulder after shoulder disappeared,
the men devouriug everything in
sight.
The crowd stood amazed and forgot
that it was hungry, too. Those seven
lank men were the attraction, and it
was not until they could eat no more,
and had crawled off to rest-or die
that the people remembered where
they were, and that they had appe-
tites.
The hiefofthe barbecues approached
the men, and in q faint voice asked:
"Where did you f.llers come from,
and when did you eat before you
struck this neighborhood?''
One of the men answered:
I'VE come from this county, and
we've been a-hidin' an hungry. We
les heard that tie war was over and
that Sherman was a-giviu' out rations,
and so we thought we'd git some"'

and they carried him away more dead
than alive.
