DIMPLEs AND WRINKLES.

The deepest of dimples to wrinkles have
run
Since Mary was twenty and twenty one /;
But, dinpled or wrinkled, my sweet
hearts the same,
From the sunburst of life to it's last little
flame.
The cheeks that were roses are shrunken
and pale,
But their velvety purity never will fail:
And lips that were flushed with the red
blood of youth
Are warm with a love as undying as
truth.
The blue Of her eyes is fading to gray
And the gold OF her hair is silver to-day;
But the soul is the same that was orbed
in the blue,
And silyern is golden when love lights the
view.
And, dimpled or wrinkled, blush will
confess
The happiness born of lovers caress,
For the heart of a woman is tender as
true
And the passion it cherishes ever is new.
With Mary at twenty and me twenty
one,
Than dimples naught sweeter was under
the sun;
With Mary at sixty and ME sixty-one,
Why, dimpqes were made so that wrinkles
might run.

INCREASE IN RAILWAYS.

On account of the adverse conditions
which have prevailed during the year
there has not been as much activity as
usual in the building of railroads in the
South.
Ia 1892 there were !, 1853 miles of rail-
way constructed in this section of the
country; in 1898, 1,112 miles, in 1894,
563 miles; in 1895, G92A miles; and in
1856, 500 miles.
While the railway mileage for the past
year is small in comparison with pre-
ceQing years it is nevertheless good when
the scarcity of money and other discour-
Arguments are taken into consideration.
Divided among the various States of
THE South the railway mileage for the
ydar is as follows: Maryland II, West
Virginia 10, North Carolina 81, South
Carolina 8, Georgia 6715, Florida 80,
Alabama %, Mississippi 661a, Louisiana
Ss13, Texas 7715, Arkansas 9112, Tennes-
see Az and Kentucky II.
While the foregoing figures show a
decrease in railroad building for the past
gear his decrease is confined to the States
81 Florida, West Virginia, North Caro-
tina, Virginia, Texas and Tennessee. On
she other hand a gratifying increase is
credited to Maryland, Georgia. South
.Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Arkansas and Kentucky.
. Under favorable conditions at least
II 900 miles of railway would have been
constructed in the South last year. With
better times there win be a marked in
crease in the building Of railroads in this
section.

ONCE WE PLAYED.

Once we played at lovetogether-
Played it smsrtly, if you please
Lightly as the windblown feather,
Did we stake "a heart apiece.
O, it was delicious foohngs
In the hottest of the game,
Without thoughts of future, cooling,
An too quickly burned Iife's flame
In this give-ana- take Of chances,
Kisses sweet as honey dews,
When we played with equal chances,
Did you wiz, or did | lose?
Was your heat then hurt to bleeding,
In the arlor: Of the throw?
Was it then :lost, unheeding,
Lost my heart SO long ago?
Who shall sag "he game is over.

One lies low beneath the clover,
One lives lonely in the sun.

TOGETHER.
(fIenry Lynlen Flash.)

We loved each other: long and true
And at last in APRIL weather,
When the crocus buds were breaking
through,
And the dying moon hung faint in the
blue,
We put to sea together.
For years we sailed: on the sunny main,
And then came stormy weather;
Our vessel groaneds with the tug and
strain,
And out in the Shrieking wind and rain
We faced the gale together.
At times we caught a glimpse OF sky
That promised CLEARING weather;
And light and swift our boat would fly,
TILL the clouds resumed their inky dye,
And we stood in the gloom together.
But whether the sky was dark or bright.
Or fair or foul che weather,
Our love was ever ahe beacon light
That cheered our .souls IN the darkest
night,
And held our hearts together.
And now we sail in our battered boat,
Unmindful of tie weather;
The winds may rage and the clouds may
gloat,
But little we care. if we sink or float,
So we sink or float together.

And twilight gray creeps down apace-
The day is dying, dying.

And staT-prongs rip an argent slit
In purple-fecked night-skies.

And all is still as graveyard gloom
The world is drenched in dumbness;
Without the door timid knock,
And Cupid stands there pleading,
Purple toes and purple nose,
And hands all chapped and bleeding
His look was sad and full of woe.

Gladly to my arms he came,

GET READY FOR THE KINGDOM
COME.

You're writing out to Jack to-day
Because his birthdays come,
And | must send to him, you say,
A message straight from home.
Dear boy Ii could just sit down
And take his hand in mine,
Instead of putting all my love
In one poor little line.
But write out clear, and let it read
ITO Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come
You're smiling, daughter, as you write,
But Jack won't smile chat way,
His mind will just go fitting back
To thoughts of yesterday,
Before he got so great and tall,
And, oh, so very wise,
When he was granny's white haired boy,
A dreaming of the skies.
So write out clear, and let it read
ITO Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come"
You think his birthday calls for more
Than such a simple line;
Nay, there are those who love him less
To make him wishes fine.
Ny words go from faithful heart;
They're tender, true and warm,
With loving wisdom in them, too,
To keep my boy from harm.
So write out clear, and let it read
ITO Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the Kingdom come"
I'd like to see him as he reads,
His bright eyes trimming DER,
And good thoughts rising white and
strong
To be forgot no more.
Heaven viii be nearer to his heart
Than it has been for years,
For he will read in that one line
My love, my hopes, my prayers.
So write out clear, and let it read
''To Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come"
