Since we last met, death has TAX
en- from our members dear little
Mary White.
During her short stay in our town
she was faithful scholar in our
school. Bright, sweet and joyous,
she endeared herself to all our
hearts, and for one of her tender
years was indeed an interesting,
lovable child.
She died last Wednesday morn
ing after brief, but serious illness
and as we meet here this morning
and find her place vacant-vacant
forever-oh, how sad we are-how
we miss her-and how our hearts
go out in sympathy for her father
and mother and little brother and
sisters. May God bless and COM
fort them in thoh sorrow, over the
death Of their little "Pet.r
She is gone from our school. We
shall hergfos more see her bright
eyes. Wetsall here no more hear
her sweet voice as it sang praises
to the Savior she so early in life
learned to love. But we shall see
her again in the Great School above,
where those who love shall meet to
part no more.

A Blind Surgeon.

When DR.. James Il. Cooke, of Bos.
ton, Mass, was two months old both
of his eyes were ruined by blunder.
ing doctor, who administered wrong
medicine. Since then he has been to.
tally blind. He is now thirty.two
years of age. He locates disease by
his sensitive touch, and he tells the
color of goods in the same way, singu-
lar as it may appear. A lady, who had
eight or ten samples OF dress goods,
each about three inches square, handed
them to DR.. Cooke the other day, AMI
he at once told accurately the color
and even the shade OF color of each,
and selected the samples of the best
quality. When handed several Ma.
tional bank and Government currency
bills, he at once told the denomination
of each and the color, whether green
or black. He tells the complexion of
q person by touching the skim. 1t is
difficult to believe that a blind man
could do this, but he is seen to do it,
and accurately, too. Hartford Times.

The Constable's Perquisite.

A marriage took place IN the Office
of well-known Justice of the Peace
a few day ago that, while most i'm
pressive ceremony to the contracting
parties, had very humorous side for
the spectators. The couple were evil
IDENTIFY from the rural districts and
were both seemingly covered with con-
fusion at their having to stand up be.
fore the four or five present. After
the form had been read, the blushing
pair standing hand in hand, the mag
istrate announced in serious tone
that, as it was the custom for the con-
stable to kiss the bride. she would pre-
pare herself for the osculation.
The constable stepped boldly out
and, being good looking young fell
low, the young woman seemed not
averse to being bussed. All doubts
of the propriety of the act were soon
set at rest, for the husky groom
stepped before her with air Of deter.
mination upon his face that showed it
was life and death to him. He gave
his hands an imaginary washing and
said:
esquire, this yere lady b'longs to
me now an what she did afore took
her amt my business, but if this con
stable is willin', I'll give him dollar
and call it off.
The server of writs signi6ed his as.
sent and the jealous countryman paid
the amount.-Columbus (Ohio) Dis

SONG OF TIE ROAD.

All hearts in the world like my heart must be

For my foot goes in time to holiday meas

And the bird in my bosom is singing for
pleasure.
know not what end to my wandering shall

Or what fairy prince rides a-seeking for me-;
He may be a gallant in graithing of gold,
Or a graybeard who tarries for young maids

Meanwhile go tramping the merry world
over
With the flower of my heart folded close for
my lover;
Folded safely and close till my prince comes
to claim

Meanwhile go tramping, masterless maid,
With flowers blowing for ME in sunshine and

Let Southern Flags Fly.

The Manufacturer's Record, good
Southern authority, says that the num-
Der OF cotton mills projected in the
South, during the last three months
from June to- August, inclusive, ex-
ceeds that of any similar period in the
history of cotton mill building in that
region. There were projected seventy

duties and raise revenue by imports ON
sugar, tea, coffee and the like. There
should be great Southern uprising
for protection.
Now that the South is coming to the
front as great manufacturing region,
all the States should follow Maryland
and Kentucky and fling to the breeze
the banner of protection and rally
around it.
