SAM JONES ON A "WOMAN.'

"When God gives man a wife and
six children He has done Il great deal
for fellow. But when He gives him
a society woman and a poodle he has
thrown of on him. These society
woman look upon children as nuis-
ances. l have had some of the society
women shake hands with me. had
as soon shake a dead tish's tail. l
wouldn't give one OF your sock darn
ing women for all the society women
in the country. Between cutting of
the top of their dress for the ballroom
and the bottom for the bicycle, these
society woman will soon have no
clothes left. A man said to society
woman: i hope I'll see more Of you.
She said: Come to the ball tonight.
Some people say that you shouldn't
speak that way before mixed audi
ences. Your old sisters wear higl
collar close around their necks-that's
modest and comcly, but deliver nj
from the society women who buttOu
their collars around their waists. Yo'
preachers don't talk that way, do you
You talk about the sweet bye and bye
You ought to talk about the mast,
now and then.

"THE SACRED FIRE"
Natchez Democrat, March 9th.

Natchez Democrat, March 9th.
The recent serial story entitled
",Thc Sacred Fire" written by that
talented young authoress, Miss Irwin
Huntington, and printed in the Mid
land Review OF Louisville, KY, ap.
pears to have attracted widespread
attention, and caused IN excessive
demand for that publication, II we
can judge by the following extract
from that periodical: ''In answer to
a number OF inquiries we might state
that it Is not within our power to
supply back numbers of the journal
containing Miss Irwin Huntington's
serial. The Sacred Fire. lately con
cludcd in our paper. The story was
unusual powerful, and attracted a
great many readers, especially from
the South, where the author has long
enjoyed Il wide reputation, owing to
the success of her two published
volumes, The Wife OF the Sun and
"A New Psyche A sketch OF her will
soon appear in our columns Many
of the Natchcz friends of Miss Hunt.
ington have endeavored to get copies
of the Midland Reveiw containing heT
latest literary effort, and the above
notice will fully explain why they
cannot do so. We desire to extend to
her our sincere congratulations on her
success with her latest work, and
trust that she may climb still higher
up on the ladder Of famc in her chOs er
profession.

Will Miss the JudGsa
Carthaginian.

NuTlHuelnidN.
This weeks term OF court was the
last at which Judge Mayors will pre-.
side in Leake county. and the major
ity Of our citizens will feel u pdng Of
regret when this fact confr0ntS them.
For the venerable Judge has a host of
warm friends in Lcake who under
stands his many excellent qualities oi
head and heart. They have heard him
make jest Of the softncss OF heart OF
the Leake county people, and turned
to each other with Il smile at the stony
bos0mcd Judge whose heart was al
ways swiftly responsive to every ap-
peal OF distress which reached his ear,
but who strOve to conceal his own
sympathetic nature by ridlculing the
similar characteristic Uf others. We
shall miss tho wit OF Judge Mayors,
which has often been dreaded by law
breakers more than the punishment
the code prescribed for them. But
many who have felt the lash Of his
wit, and who at the time were hot
with resentment, have learned To
laugh phlOsophically and gOod-hum.
oredly at his sallics, knowing that
while his wit IS sharper than the ser
pcnt's tooth, it has none of the ser
pents venom, it has not its birth If
malace. The Carthaginian will miss
Judge Mayors, and miss him sadly
lie is a gentlemen OF the old regime
one OF the few links which connect tn,
past with the present; agentlcman o
the old school whose like IL seldom
met with nowadays, and in anothe
generation will have utterly disap
peared. Into his retirement Judg,
Mayors carries with him the hearties
good wishes OF the Carthaglnian.

Hush. let ~ hide my happiness,


Hush let ~ hide my happiness,
A little while let grief hold sway,
And sweetness blend with bitterness
Before give myself away.
Soon. soon, must pass for evermore
The scenes Of old; new paths choose;
o. let me count my treasures DER.
That, winning loves delight, lose.
Dear home How all its hooks and trees
Recall my chldhood's Joys and tears
Mixed with immortal memories
OF twenty tranquil transient years.
Familiar sounds OF birds aud bees
On summer evenings fair and still,
Set to the music OF the breeze
Or twilight tinkling Of the rill.
0, babling brook, o, darling glade,
Old church beside thine ancient yew.
Where oft my childish feet have strayed,
bid you all u last adIeufs
Dear simple souls, so staunch and true,
In cottage homes. DER hill aud dell,
A distant home Is mine; you
And yours bid last farewell.
A last farewell, Though all appear
| Part OF my very beings whole,
Linked with my whole life's sojourn here,
| Knit to each fiber OF my soul.
Linked with the golden dreams of youth,
And all its gay and gladsome things.
When chlldhood's innoccnce aud truth
Lent to each bouyant day its wings.
-
My father smiles, and chldes IN vain,
The tears my mother slovalets fall;
My sisters heart is wrung with pain
Goodby. soon must leava you all!
This little hour give to grief,
With tender thought mih&eyes arc wet;
almost seem to find relief
In "Reminiscences and regret!.

One little hour! My womans eyes
With waning childhoods dews are dim,
Away. Love calls. must arise,
And hasten forth and follow him.

THE LIE1NG YELLOWS.

Nashville American.
1t is astonishing that the Amerl-
can people should give any credit or
even tolerance to those sensational
New York papers known as "the yell
lows" since the frequent exposures OF
bare faced lies In which they have de-
tected concerning the Maine disaster
In Havana harbor. 1t would not nec-
essarily be to the discredt OF these
journals II they should indulge In a
little honest jingohsm. A great many
patriotic and we'll meaning papers
have been operating somewhat on that
line, but the utter mendacity Of thcs'
New York sheets has no manner o
excuse.
