THE IVY OF ABBOTTsFORD.
Given by Scott to Irving and Now Crown gn
Fayetteville.

Correspondence of Fayetteville Observer)
The interesting item in the last issue Of
the Observer in reference to the ivy
brought to Fayetteville by the late George
Lauder, calls to mind an incident in the
life OF Mr.. Lauder as related by him to
this writer many years ago.
4 was about to emigrate to America"
said he. land felt that | could not leave
Scotland without seeing Sir Walter Scott,
just then rising into fame as the author
of Waverley. SO l went to his residence
at Abbottsford and put up at an inn. Very
early on the following morning l went up
to the residence of Sir Walter just to see
how the land lay and intending to make
my call after breakfast at the inn. To
my surprise l found the great man taking
a morning walk in his grounds. The i'm
pulse to speak to him was too great to be
resisted and opening a gate l advanced
toward him. With a pleasant smile Of
welcome, he inquired: Whom have the
pleasure of meeting so early in the morn
ing" L am George Lauder, sir, and about
to emigrate to America and have come to
see the author of Waverley before l leave
my native land perhaps forever If that
be your mission, sir, you will breakfast
with me- Well / breakfasted and dined
too, with the great Sir Walter and late
in the afternoon / bid him adieu after
spending the most pleasant day of my
life"
"Sir Walter spoke kindly of Wash

connected with that visit.

had somehow got away.

And really, fish look bigger than they are
before they're caught
When the pole is bent into a bow and
the slender line is taut,
When a fellow feels his heart rise up like
a ~doughnut in his throat
And he lunges in a frenzy up and down
the leaky boat.
Oh, you who've been a-fshing will indorse
me when l say
That it always is the biggest nSh you
catch that gets away.
greedy eyes
The biggest boon Is some elusive, never
captured prize;
We angle for the honors and the sweets
of human life
Like fishermen we brave the seas that
roll in endless strife;
And then at last, when all is done and
we are spent and gray,
We own the biggest fish we've caught arc
those that got away.
I would not have it otherwise; it's bet
ter there should be
Much bigger fish than l have caught
a-swimming in the sea;
For now some worthier one than | may
angle for the game,
May by his arts entice, entrap and com
prehend the same
Which,, having done, perchance he'll bless
the man who's proud to say
That the biggest fish he eve caught
were those that got away.

It is stated that of a thousand volumes
of travel which DR.. Edward Leigh Pell ex-
amined in the preparation OF his latest
book. 1.-The Bright Side Of Humanity,
scarcely two hundred dwelt at any
length upon the virtues OF the people
whom they profess to describe, Whhe
most OF them faithfully mirrored all the
vices in sight. The Bright Side OF hu-
manity,' is the first serious attempt that
has been made to present the distinguish
ing noble traits Of all races. 1t viii be
published by the B. F. Johnson Publish
ing Company, Richmond, Virginia, end
will be ready September 18th.
Although Mark Twain has spent most OF
his time in late years in travel, his pref
erence is for a quiet life. He recently
told a friend, who had asked him If he en-
loved travelling: NO, don't. | do 1t for
the sake of my family. If | had my way,
I'd settle in one spot and never move. IN
fact. / can't understand how any writer
can be persuaded to move of his own &C
cord. Old Bunyan was in luck when they
threw him into prison. II | had been IN
his place they'd never have got me out"
The announcement that Joel Chandler
Harris mas T6JlT6u lIOiH Hc"SpdpSI WIN
in order to devote his whole time to story
making gives a special interest to his
new book, ION the Wing Of Occasions,
which is to appear early this Fall. The
stories Zone a novelette, of 5000 words
on 1.-THE kidnapping of President Lin
coln') all deal with ..unwritten history
of Civil War times, without any actual
fighting but introducing many details OF
the elaborate Secret Service. The vol
ume is perhaps chiefly notable in adding
another irresistible character to those
imperishable figures like Uncle Remus
and "Aunt Minervy Ann" which Mr.. Har-
ris has already given us. Mr.. Billy San
ders,' the old Georgia cOuntryman who
goes to kidnap the President, has a supply
of funny stories which rivals Lincoln's
own, and his shrewd. homely humor Is
most characteristic.

Marriage of the Sun and Moon.

The following beautiful allegory de-
scribing an annula eclipse was written
by the late H. S. Ellewood, of this State,
many years ago for our paper and subse-
quently copied into almost every journal
of the Union. The gifted author is no
more but this chaste and beautiful effort
of his pen deserves to be perpetuated.-
Raleigh Register.
Do you know that a wedding has happened
on high,
And who were the parties united?
Twas the Sun and the Moon, in the
halls Of the sky;
They were joined and our continent wit
messed the tie
No continent else was invited.
Their courtship was tedious for seldom
they met
Tete.a-tete while long centuries glided
But the warmth of his love she could
hardly forget,
For though distant afar, he could smile
on her yet,
ave when earth the fond couple di-
vided.
But why so prolix the courtship? and
why
So long was postponed the connection ?
That the bridegroom was anxious 'twere
vain to tarry,
Since the heat of his passion peryaded
the sky,
Blu the bride was renowned for refec-
ton.
Besides It's reported their friends were
all vexed;
The match was deemed somehow I'M
equal,

The Young Girl
By Rudyard Kipling.

Her hand still on her sword-hilt-the
spur was still on her heel
She had not cast her harness of grey
~war-dinted steel:
High on her red-splashed charger, beau
tiful bold and Drowned,
Bright-eyed out of the battle, the young
Queen rode to be crowned.
And she came to the old Queens pres
ence, in the hall Of our thousand years,
In the hall of the five free nations that
are peers among their peers;
Royal she gave the greeting. loyal she
bowed the head,
Crying: Grown me, my MOTHER and
the old Queen stood and said:
"How can I crown thee further? l Know
whose standard flies
Where the clean surge takes the Leeuwin
or the notched Kaikouras rise.
Blood of our foes on thy bride and
speech of our friends in thy mouth
How can | crown thee further, O Queen
of the Sovereign South?
Let the five free nations witness," But
the young Queen answered swift
1T shall be crown of our crowning to
lOlu oul ClO"I LII q Sill
In the days when our folk were feeble
thy sword made sure our lands
Wherefore we come in power to beg our
crown at thy hands,
And the old Queen raised and kissed her,
and the jealous circlet prest,
Roped with the pearls of the Northland
and red With the gold of the West
Lit with her lands own OOalS lion
hearted, alive,
And the five-starred cross above them,
for sign of the nations five.
SO it was done in the presence-in the
hall of our thousand years
IN the face of the five free nations that
have no peer but their peers;
And the young Queen out of the South
land kneeled down at the old Queens
knee
And asked for a mothers blessing on the
excellent years to be.
And the old Queen stopped in the still
ness where the jewelled head dropped
low;
Daughter no more but sister, and doubly
daughter so
Mother of many princes-and child of the
child | bore,
What good thing shall 1 wish thee thai
ave not wished before?
"Shall l give thee delight in dominion
rash pride of they setting forth?
Nay, we be women together-We know
what that lust is worth.
Peace on thy utmost borders and strength
on a road untrod?
These are dealt or diminished at the
secret will of God.
Il have swayed troublous councils-0 an
wise in terrible thinga)
Father and son, and grandson / have
known the heart of the kings.
Shall | give thee my sleepless wisdom OF
the gift all wisdom above?
Ay, we be women together-I give thee
thy peoples love;
Tempered, august, abiding, reluctant o
prayers or VOWS,
Eager in face of peril as thine for tn,
mothers house
God requite thee, my daughter, through
the strenuous years to be,
And make thy people to love thee az
thou hast loved met

COUNCILMEN
IN ARGUMENT
Market Ordinance Caused
Heated Discussion Among
City Fathers


Memheiv of city Council Al 2 mcci
ing last night engaged in a heated dis
cussion regarding tho ordinance fixing
Fourth street between King and Or

grain market
When the ordinance was presented
and read Mr.. Oberly objected to Its
passage, saying that it had been
changed since leaving the hands Of the
Law Committee, the word vegetable
Ihtying been stricken out.
He inquired Why lt had been done.
Mr.. Kane replied that the word had
been stricken out TO plea1e some Of
the members. who feared that IL the
market lines were merely extended 4
would hurt the market on the West
Side
Mn. Monaghan wanted the word
lgtricken ont wherever it appeared, but
his motion was not seconded. MT.
lOberly then moved that the word
ayeeetable" be inserted wherever II
was left out. The motion was carried
and the ordinance then considered.
Mr. Smith objected to the ordinance
as it was drawn. saying that there was
lample room in King and Madison
streets for ordinary produce dealers
land the Fourth street market was in
tended solely for the use of grain and
fruit dealers.
Mr.. Kane said the ordinance was
only to legalize market already N
existence.
Mr. Stewart asked why Mr.. Kane
had said il was to legalize a marks
already held.
Mr.. Kane said the law authorizing
the market in Fourth street Is vague
and some people were refusing to fal
: for their stands. Later a bill will bl
presented to the Legislature and II j
lis passed it will straighten out tn
whole matter.
After much heated argument the or
