Changed His Mind.

A party of young people in this city de-
termined to investigate spiritualism, and
invited Col. Carter to become one of the
band of psychological inquirers, says the
Washington Star. At first he assented
with great enthusiasm, but as he thought
1t over look of doubt gathered over his
countenance.
I'm a man of my wud," the colonel
said, land I hate to break an engage
ment l said I'd accompany you on
this expedition into realms we know
nothing about, and If you all insist upon
it, of c'ose, I'll CO."
DO you wish to back out colonel?" in
quired one of the young women.
"Candidly, l must say that I do. And
I'll tell you why, fob 1 think that when
a gentleman breaks an engagement he is
bound to give an explanation faw his con-
duct. Some yeahs ago l consulted phy-
stefan, and he told me to take some of the
best liquor l could procuah every day I'M
til he told me to stop. And he wahned
me that the instant he told me to stop 1
must do so. Befo' 1 had anothuh oppor-
tunity 70 see him he was unfawtunate as
to become a subject fob the prescriptions
of his fellow practitioners. l have always
said that if he could have relied on his
own skill he would have recovered. His
loss was a serious blow to the commu-
nifty, and 1 remembuh reading the potry
which his admiahing relatives caused to
be published with feelings of the pro-
foundest commiseration."
Have you gone on carrying out his in
structions all this timer"
HE was my medical advisuh, and l was
not at libuhty to altuh aw construe his
orders But, deep as was the confidence
l had in his judgment, I realize that he
has faw a long time been occupied with
othuh things than the practice of medi-
cine and may not understand my case as
he once did. I do not desiah to run any
chance howevuh remote, of having him
give me instructions which would modify
a co'se of treatment which have found
so entiahly satisfactory"

shrevd Dealing Down East.

That story of Caribou potato raiser
who refused an offer of As cents a bar
rel for eleven barrels of potatoes declar-
ing that he would have s. or nothing for
the load, is matched by yarn that comes
from Grand Lake Stream of a man who
recently went after calf that he had
pastured out all summer and asked what
he owed for the pasturing, says the Lew
iston Journal. "Well." says the farmer,
eve got bill of 81 against you, but l
will take the calf and call it settled, pro-
viding you are willing"

do that, but l will tell you what 1 will
do: You keep the calf two weeks longer,
and you can have her."

The Wrong in Circus Going.

The children Of a North Side clergyman
were discussing the reasons why their
father forbade their going to the circus,
says the Chicago Tribune.
He thinks it's wrong" said one of them,
because it's cruel to the horses to make
them go around the ring so fast"
Il don't believe that's the reason" OBJ
served another. 1T must be because the
actors get hurt sometimes"

spirit dwells by the fireside
When the patter of falling rain
Trembles the leaves of the dropping trees
AND drips on the window pane
Q, cold and gray is the world outside,
When the heav'ns grow dark above,
But within, within, at the glowing hearth
Is the tender spirit of Lowell
Our genius there at the fireside
Whispers a thousand things.
20, life is drear and the world is wide
But brave heart scars and sings!
Tho clouds draw roundsand storms be-
tide.
Within that heart Hope springs,
And here pure Faith all else besides,
Around it twines and cllngsp
o, precious voice of the fireside!
Sweet spirit of calm and cheer!
Tho the wild wind roars Ger the path
less wastes,
What matter so thou art near?
Thy voice ne'er stills tho the years go on
When the patter of the falling rain
Drips from the caves and trembles the
leaves
And rattles the window pane.
Holy and sacred the voice of home,
1t steals to our hearts again.

Our Senatorial Timber Market.
From the Macon Telegraph Dem.).

There has been considerable activity in
Georgia's senatorial timber market for
the past two weeks, but buyers and sell
lers have been far apart. The logs offer
ed have been small, knotty, wnd-shaken,
crooked, unsound and generally unsatis-
factory and there has been a marked
disposition on the part of buyers to wait
for better grades to come TO market. Ex-
perienced judges Of senatorial timber say
there must have been a terrible drought
about the time the present stock of logs
was grown. II is believed that an eXami-
nation of the stock held outside of the
Kimball house senatorial log boom will
result in finding some high grade timber.

great principles which Grover Cleveland
has .contended for tariff reform, sound

for the appearance of dark horse in the

taking that language. Now that the gov

The people of Georgia would probably
prefer that their representatives in the
general assembly should go slowly on the
matter of pensions. 1t is a mighty easy
matter TO pass pension bills, but 1t is
quite another thing to get the money with
which to pay the pensions. It has not
been forgotten how badly the legislature
fell down" on its last pension measure,
when the amount necessary to carry out
the law was found TO he about I'VE times
as much as was appropriated. The federal
government raises money with which to
pay its pensioners by indirect taxation;
the state government raises money with
which TO pay pensions by direct taxation,
and the people are taxed as much now
as they care TO be, or can stand There
is no possible objection to be raised to
the states taking care of its ex-confeder-
ate soldiers, who are not able to take
care Of themselves. But there are decided
objections to involving the state in I'M
called for pension payments.
