old-Fashioned Virtues We Might Well
Wish Revived.
Arabella is safely shut away in an
old daguerreotye, and there is nothing
left to her memory but few dead rose
leaves and the fading dreams in the
hearts of the old, says the Woman's
Home Companion. But we should Of
fer to her memory a tribute OF praise
for certain Sweet endearing young
charms" which are almost lost arts
at the threshold of the twentieth CEN
fury. True, Arabella was a pale, faint
star in the brilliant light of the new
girl, and yet, looking into that old
daguerreotype lin just the right line
OF vision), one sees some sweet old
fashioned propensities which have been
banished to the cobwebs and dust of
age, but which even the proud new
girl would do well to adopt. If it is
old-fashioned to be modest, then 1t is
a grand, good old fashion, and we need
to dig it up out of the past and give
IT. a genuine nineteenth-c
boom" Old-fashioned gowns, old
songs, old plays, are born again after
years Of burial, and delight new gen
eraticns. Happy If some oldfashioned
virtues long abandoned and forgotten
might be resurrected and become the
rage! After the cheap jests and shrugs
and mannerisms of society a pure,
frank, unspoiled manner is like sun
shine on the waters of a brook after
the yellow glare Of gaslight. Arabella
was wont to sit in a state OF sweet
receptivity and absorb the eloquence
of man, which, though perhaps inglor-
ious, was at least restful. Therefore,
she had that pearl Of all manners-re-
pose. The new girl, on the contrary, Is
all the time making a palpable effort
to sustain her reputation for bril-
liancy. Now, the conscious effort to
be continuously witty and entertaining
may be as trying to the nerves as
those deadly pauses which occur be-
tween ideas land which unquestionably
occurred pretty frequently between the
ideas of our lost Arabella). The girl
who is determined at all hazards to
fill up silence, and takes that task
wholly upon herself is sure to become
exhausted, and exhausting. Isn't the
new girl by demonstrating her power
to do anything, in danger OF having
everything thrust upon her?

Ruby, crossing to her sisters side and

BATTERY HORSE.

II amt no liar" said the veteran
to circle of comrades at a campfire,
"and I'll tell you about horse we
had in our battery. We was rendy
vooing at a place which wasn't nothin'
but sandbar, and horses was shipped
out there from the North. Many was
shipped but few was landed. The Black
Prince, she started out with more'n
three hundred, and just two beasts liv-
ed out the voyage and was landed on
the island. Our captain, he froze to
one of 'em. A wall-eyed, lop-sided
brute he was-the horse, l mean-but
the captain saw something about him
that looked promising and he under
took to educate him.
I'VE was drilling hard every day,
going thro' the manual of the piece in
the sand, and we had a boy for
bugler who was trying to sound the
calls-revelee, stable call, boots and
saddles and all that. The boy made
some progress, but this ere horse he
learned faster than the boy, and in
three days the horse knew that stable
cali meant he was to be fed, and
boots and saddles meant he'd got to
go to work in the sand, so what does
he do but pull away from his halter
and go off up the island whenever ne
hears the bugle go Boots and saddles
But the Cap, he got on to this trick,
and so one day when he intended to
mount and give us a drill he told tho
bugler to sound 'stable-call.' The
horse woke up his appetite for a square
meal, and you could see how mad ne
was when instead of feed he was set
to work flying about with the Cap on
him.
Il was watching him, and said to
the boy, You look out, that horsell
get even with your The boy snick-
cred; but in a minute, as the Cap was
riding past him and pulled up for a
second to swear at a number one man
for not handling the sponge-staff right,
the horse he let fly with both hind feet
and caught the boy right in the jaw!
That youngster didn't sound no more
calls right or wrong for a month, l
can tell you, but the next day | could
see the horse was sorry, for now he
didn't have no sign of warning
whether 1t was to be dinner or drill.
We'll, we got over to Louisiana and
the battery was all horsed up, six TO
every gun and caisson, but that horse
OF the Caps Qor they stuck togather)
could double discount every sther
beast IN the crowd. He give up mis-
trick Of lodging drills, for he'd learn ID
to like 'em, and 1t was better than a
circus to see him and the Cap flying
up and down the line when the guns
was in battery. They was a pair, /
tell you! The Cap with his tongue and
the horse with his heels, both ready
to let fly at any man or beast that
didn't come up to the scratch. Some
days We boys would swear they was a
pair OF devils together and ought TO
be dismissed the service, but generally
we was mighty proud Of 'em, and al
ways watching out Of the corners Of

Mamma, there is a most enticing
cottage to be let at Oakford," cries
Ruby, glancing up excitedly from the
paper in her hand. Listen! 'Oakford.
To be let, furnished, charming cottage
residence-five rooms, large garden,
every convenience, rent moderate, air
bracing, close to moor"
Yes, my dear" responds Mrs. Will
den in mild surprise. well, what
about it? Do you know of any one
waiting a cottage?"
"a thought it might suit u.s." replies
Ruby, a little crestfallen.
1T certainly might if we wanted to
go there" asserts Mrs. Widen with a
good-tempered laugh; "but, as you
know, Ruby, have a great dislike to
leaving home"
But, mamma, I think you require
change of air." persists Ruby with I'M
wonted affection. You have been suf-
fering so frightfully from neuralgia all
spring. l am sure your nerves want
bracing Why not take this cottage
for a month or so? Change is good
for everybody"
Mrs Widen shakes her head, but
not after a very determined fashion.
What do you say, viz" she asks,
turning to her niece.
"Well, I really don't think l care
two straws either way" answers Miss
Flower lazily. IF somebody will pack
my things l am willing to go, but l
couldn't undertake to pack them my

Now that just shows how much
you need change" cries Ruby eagerly.
Your whole system wants stirring up

moor you would be as brisk as a
bee"
Should II" says Violet, with a
dubious laugh. 81 very much doubt
1t; but 1 am willing to try the expert
ment."
Truth to tell, IL Violet Flower con-
suited her own feelings, she would far
rather remain in her present comfort
able quarters; but Ruby having con-
fided to her a scheme for visiting the
moor IL possible, she has promised
not to oppose the plan
There is a fair amount of resistance
on Mrs. Wilden's part, but her ener-
getic daughter overrules each and
every obstacle as IL is presented to her.
Her eloquence is so great in advocat-
ing a change that one would wonder.

aged to exist so many summers
through at the Wilderness without ac-
quiring all the maladies to which flesh

IS unbounded.

General Cook is quoted by Edward s.

begin to believe that Lying Jim"
Beckwourth, whose remarkable adven-

C0mpetent Officials

One Of the busiest and most
painestaking public officials in
the county IS ). I. SIstrunk, our
popular young clerk Of the circuit
court. \ great volume of work
falls on this office, in fact all Of
the countys business passes
through the clerk hands and on
bis care and intelligence depends
largely the smooth working of
the county machinery. The re-
coIding, fling and issuing OF
papers IS continuous and endless,
and in this connection we must
say q word of Mr.. Sistrunk :
deputy, Charits V. Miller, who
has been almost raised in the
Ollie AID is perfectly familiar
with the work, writes a reat
clerical hand, is courteous and
ObGging and in the a bSence Of the
clerk IS amply qualified to con-
duct the business. Particularly
when circuit court is in session is
this C1iice kept busy; full record
Of eVt~y tIirg must be kept, all
witnesses paid, forty lawyers
per d " must be waited on, and
papers in this, that or the other
case looked up for them. He
must preside as clerk Of the court,
ali Of the routine business must
be kept up with, and endless
questions answered, as this office
is the place where all information
is sought and generally obtained,
as most people think the clerk
must needs know every thing.
The court docketS must be kept
and the records Of the county com
! mi S toner's and school boards, Of
| thefOrmer Of which he is also clerk
| All Of the county bills, and eX-
penses Of the judge and justice
courts must be paid and a thou
sand and one other matters must
be attended to. But 1t is all done
in its proper order, neatly and
rapidly, and we have yet to hear
of a singh error of omission or
commission being made, and
with all, Mr.. Sistrunk has time
for smile ard a cheerful word
! for all who call at his Office. The
grand jury have always compIi-
mentcd this office in their pre-
sentiments, on its neatnesS OF
method and the accuracy of the
reports and accounts, which are
both complicated and volumlnous.
