Ter, prominent shoe merchant of Des
Moines, Iowa, had quite serious time
of it, He took such severe cold that
he could hardly talk or navigate, but
the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy cured him of his cold SO quickly
that others at the hotel who had bad colds
followed his example and half q dozen

thanks to Mr.. Kahler for telling them how
to cure bad cold SO quickly. For sale

WHAT 90 THEY SAY?

Table Talk published some verses from
an unclaimed poem. which will tenderly
appeal to many stricken hearts:
"Oh, what do you think the angels say?"
Said the children up in Heaven,
There's dear little girl coming home
She's almost ready to fly away
From the earth we used to live in
Let's 90 and open the gates of pearl,
open them wide for this dear little girl"
Said the children up in Heaven.
Far on earth do you hear them weep"
SAID the children up in Heaven,
For the dear little girl has gone to sleep
The shadows fall and the night clouds
Der the earth we used to live in
But we'll 60 and open the gates of pearl,
Oh, why do they weep for the little girl"
Said the children up in Heaven.
"God wanted her here where his little
ones meet!"
Said the children up in Heaven,
She shall play with us in the golden
street,
She had grown too fair, she had grown too
sweet,
. For the earth we used to live in;
She needed the sunshine, this dear little
girl,
That gilds this side of the gates of pearl"
Said the children up in Heaven.
Fly with her quickly, o angels dear!'
Said the children up in Heaven.
See! She is coming: Look there! Look
there!
At the Jasper light on her sunny hair
Where the yelling clouds are riven-
Oh, hush, hush. hush! The swift wings
furl.
For the King himself at the gate of pearl,
Is taking her hand, dear tired little girl,
And leading her into Heaven?"

Ben Hill on Lee.
winston Sentinel,

Gen. Longstreet has been charged
with adverse criticism Of the peerless
Robert E. Lee, which charge has been
denied by Longs,reet. The incident
recalls just but grand and glowing
tribute to the excellence of the great
Confederate Commander by the late
Hon. BENJAMIN H. Hill, Of Georgia.
1t is as follows:
''He was foe without hate, friend
without treachery. a soldier without
cruelty. and victim without murmur-
ing. He was public officer without
vices, a private citizen without wrong
| a neighbor without reproach, a Chris
tian without hypocrisy, and a man
without guile. He was a Cesar with
out his ambition, Frederick without
his tyranny. Napoleon without his self
| ishness. and Washington without his
reward. He was as obedient to au-
thority as a servant. and royal in au.
thority as king. He was as gentle
as a WON an in life. pure and modest
as a virgin in thought, watchful as a
Roman vestal, submissive to law a;
Socrates, and grand in battle as
Achilles.
This compact but comprehensive
tribute is a literary gem and is resplen
dent with the radiance Of truth. W.
would be sorry indeed il any Ameri
can and particularly Southern Gen
eral, should a,temp, to cast blu
upon the personal or military charac
ter OF the great and beloved Lee. w
hope there is no foundation for the re
port that Gen. Longs rect has at
tempted to do so.

which have added much to the interest
of the display. Special mention
should be made of Austria, Denmark,
France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
Sweden, and also of India, Japan and
China. The collective ex-
hibits made by the Southern Railway
and also by the Seaboard Air Line, the
Plant System Of Florida, bring out in
vivid outline the advantages of the re-
gions through which these railroads are
constructed.
live earnestly advise the teach
ers of colleges and schools, near and
remote, to encourage their scholars TO
come and study this exposition, &C
companied by competent guides. With
proper explanations, easily to be Sc
cured if little effort is made, in,elli-
gent youth may learn in a few days
visit TO the exposition, more than
would be learned in weeks or months
of ordinary study. Manufacturers,
merchants, miners, ETC., are also ad-
vised to attend.
I2.-In conclusion we congratulate
the directors of the Atlanta Exposition
on the success that has attended their
efforts, on their public spirit, energy
and resolution. We thank the mayor
and the citizens Of Atlanta for their
generous hospitality; we declare our
opinion that the State Of Georgia, and
the group of cotton States associated
with Georgia in this exposition, de-
serve from every Stale in the union,
recognition, honor and gratitude.

by A. E. Stevenson, Vice President of
the United States, and ID. G. Gilman,

The Road Parliament.
ATLANTA Journal

One of the most important things
the exposition has accomplished is the
gathering 10 Atlanta of many conven-
tions.
We have had large number of i'm
portant associations, societies and
congresses to NEE, here since the open
ing of the exposition and many more
coming, but we do not hesitate to say
that the National Road Parliament
which assembled to-day, is second in
importance and possibilities to none Of
these conventions.
The awakening of the country to the
importance of road improvement is
one of the best signs OF the country's
progress. Some of the States are in
the lead of others in this direction, but
in all of them there is in greater or
less degree a popular interest in the
road problem which will grow and
produce invaluable results. Those
States and communities that have
gone ahead and built good roads have
furnished object lessons which should
be sufficient to convince the dullest
observer that bad roads are an extrav-
agance and good roads true economy.
The tax upon the people of the
country by reason Of bad roads
amounts to hundreds of millions of
dollars year. The construction and
maintenance of good roads throughout
the country would add billions of dol
lars to the wealt of the people.
Good roads seem expensive to short
short-sighted economists, but there is
no better inve: tment possible. The
road laws in many Of the States are
fatcical and such States can never reach
anything worthy 10 be called develop.
ment until they adopt and enforce
some good system of road building.
The ancients were wise in this matter.
They have left US roads which have
wthstood the wear of thousands Of
years and are still good. A good
road once built is easily kept in good
order and its benefits are steady and
increasing, while bad road is con-
slant drain on the wealth Of commu-
nifty and an effectual barrier on
real progress. Nearly three-fourths OF
the States are represented at the Road
Parliament now in session in Atlanta.
Among the delegates are many men
of practical experience in road con-
struction and many who have helped
to awaken the present lively interest
among the masses on this subj let.
By the deliberations Of such body
the cause of good roads will surely be
| advanced

Home! How that word touches
every heart! Thanksgiving Day was
first inaugura,ed in the home-a home
festival. On that day many thoughts
are turned homeward. No wonder
that the simple song Of John Howard
Payne endeared him to the world.
The world heard the sweet strain, "Be
it ever so humble there's no place like
home" and were in sympathy, The
lack OF home makes the tramps and
vagabonds that are abroad in the
world. What would the world be
without the home? Very few men
reared outside the home come to any
thing. Home is sunkrown to heathens.
1t belongs alone to Christian lands.
1t is the sweetest word in the English
language-the word around which 50
many precious memories cluster. Let
US be thankful for this precious stone
in the word "Thanks." Let US make
the home Christian,

Eugene Field.
TCharlOtte ObServer.l

1t is we'll that Eugene Field lived.
He wrote much to cheer men, to in
spire them, to make them better, to
make them 60 about the toll and
drudgery Of every days monotonous
existence with lighter hearts. He
wrote much to touch the tenderer
minor chord of mems heart strings.
But if he had lived and died and writ
ten but one poem he had lived we'll,
and after life's htful fever would have
slept we'll. These are the lines:
The little toy dog Is covered with dust.
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket mOulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our little Boy
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till come" he said.
"And don't you make any noise"'
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamt of his pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our little Boy Blue
Oh. the years are many. the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye faithful to little Boy Blue they stand
Each i'm the same old place,
Awaiting the touch Of little hand,
The smile of little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our littlo Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there.
The possession of "Little Boy Blue"
amongst our treasures is worth the life
of Eugene Field.
Field was a newspaper man and all
the fraternity loved him and were
proud of him. He scribbled these
lines about the distinguished and ven
erable editor Of the New York .Snn.
"But bless ye, Mr.. Dana! May ye live
thousan years
To sort o keep things lively in this vale Of
human tears;
An may live thousan' too-a thousan'
less day,
For shouldn' t like to be on earth to hear
you'd passed away"
Poor Field! He doubtless thought
he would out-live the journalist, but
alas! for human calculations. But his
As years of life were full of love
from the time of his romantic college
boy courtship to the end, and that
counts for a great deal. A devoted
wife and seven children survive him.
Field was an optItnist and his poetry
was all smiles and wings. He was
the kind Of man we hate to give up.

A MYSTERY.

Some only know good fortune, some ill luck,
Though equal they in talent, tact and pluck.
Say not that all on the same footing start
And that by voluntary act they part,
For have seen it in g hundred cases,
IN various stations and 18th yarious races.
Some without effort smoothly, grandly rise.
AS sparks fly upward, mounting to the skies;
Prosperity ATTENDS whate'er they touch
And all with tlom is JOY, or seemeth sucn,
While others, bright their intellectual eyes,
Prudent and careful, energetic, wise,
Their heads Gs clear as yonder water brook,
Their sturdy hearts misfortune never shook,
Yet dark shadow lowered ever near,
Unseen, unhaard, intangible, severe,
Frustrating their best plans and well laid
schemes,
Tainting their lives and all hfo's flowing
streams.
Though they be honest. truthful and indeed
All We may expect in man, they don't sue
ceed.
Why is it thus? Have somo Il sable line
Which may bc felt, but no ono can define,
Starting from crib of coward and tho brave
Reaching through life and ending ct the grave,
While others have &. star whose beaIning light
Shines on their pathway through the darkest
night,
Making the crooked straight, the doubtful
clear,
Leading them forward in their glad career,
With powers celestial but to cheer and bless
Till they attain to ultimate success?
will not argue, We may not agree,
Let others sc.ve this wondrous mystery.
