ONLY LOVELETTER JOHN
G.. CALHOUN.

Though an ardent lover fretting at
times slow course until his wedding
day, John C. Calhoun wrote but one
letter to his sweetheart-hIs pretty
cousin, Floride Calhoun. All the other
communications, when the lovers were
separated, were made through her
mother. But shortly before their mar
riage 1.-The Great Nullifer" wrote ex.
pressing his anxiety for the arrival OF
the happy day, and the letter has only
recently come to light. After giving
hearty expression to the joy he has
found in her company, the letter runs:
1T gives me much satisfaction that
time and absence make no impression
on my love for you; it glows with no
less ar'lor than at the moment of part
ing, which must be a happy omen of
its permanent nature. When mele
personal charms attract, the impression
may he violent, but cannot be lasting,
and it requires the perpetual presence
of the object to keep it alive; but when
the beauty of mind, the soft and sweet
disposition, the amiable and lovable
character embellished with innocence
and cheerrulness are united to the at
fractions Of personal beauty, it bids
defiance to time. Such, my dear
Floridr, are the arms 10y which you
have conquered, and it is by these the
durability OF your sovereignty is estab-
lished over your subject, whom you
hold in a willing servitude. May God
preserve you Adieu, my love; my
hearts delight. Iamyour true lover"

A Genuine Love Story.
From the Bible by the Reverend c. B.
Blackwell, .. D.

Tue long journey from Beerslrcha to
Haran IS completed, and the familiar
picture Of sheep being watered at a
well is within the scope ot Jacob s
vision The mouth of the well is COW
cred hy Il great stone, for good water
is precious and hocks are numerous.
In the present instance three focks
are waiting 10y the we'll. Jacobs eau
tiousness stands him in hand; he will
learn by sharp observation. The flocks
are watered and the stone replaced by
the shepherds. Then Jacob addresses
them, with a courteous manner inher-
tied from both parents: Isaac was
always gentle and forbearing, yielding
to wrong rather than indulge in strife,
and Rebekah suave even in carrying
out plans that 9th rwise might have
miscarriel The conversation is SEN
tentious and characteristic of the
Orient:
"My brethren, whence are yt?'
"Of Haran are we."
Know ye Laban, the son of Nahor?'
1--WE know him."
1T is well with him?"
ut is well; behold Rachel his daugh-
ter cometh with the sheep"
There is somewhat of curtness in tue
colloquy. Jacob makes little headway
thus far. They may be a tride suspi-
cious of him without Endorsement as
they by well understood signs ask each
other who this travel stained stranger
may be, and what the undcrcurrent OF
his questions,
The men have first right to the well
and they dip up the water with their
leathern buckets, lefresh their flocks
from adjacent troughs, and then re-
place the heavy stone cover to the well.
leaving the women to do as best they
may when their turn comes. Jacob
assumes little, perhaps, in so posi-
lively directing them to 90 feed their
sheep. But they ere under orders to
wait at the well until all the fl CAS- are

A SWEET SHEPuERDESS.

Jacobs eyes are fixed upon tie ap-
preaching daughter Of Lahan. singling
her out among others engaged in like
occupation with herself. No more
thought of what is awaiting her is in
her mind than Rebekah had upon the
salutation Of EIisz.r. She thinks only
OF her sheep: they are her especial care.
She is no hireliny. She knows each of
the flock, which is not SO numerous
that she cannot give each one some
special designation. She does not
drive them, but walks before them,
now and then calling this one or that
by its pet name, to which response is
intelligent and prompt. Yonder a
silly lambkin strays; with true aim
she casts small stone, and, gently
stung by it, the wanderer hastens to
its comrades. She verify loves her
sheep and they obey her every call and
every mov< mcnt, seeming to under
stand also the motions of the crook she
carries for their help and guidance.
With keen whistle, and calls that every
sheep recogn;z s, the flock is massed
near the watering troughs, and Rachel
stands face to zee with Jacob.

THE ORIGIN OFDISAONEsrY

In a great many cases the origin of
dishonesty can be traced to the early
influence of the home. Parents who
are anxious for their children to grow
up to be honest men and women some
times do things which produce the
very opposite. The power of the in
fuence of the home on the children
cannot be estimated. Parents cannot
be too careful as to the influence
brought to bear upon their children.
have in mind now the case of lit
tie boy who was anxious to earn some
money to purchase something which
he very much desired. lie heard of
man who would pay so much per hun
dred for old postage stamps. After he
had collected a number he found some
that had not been Cancelled. His moth
er, wishing to help him raise the mon
ey, paid him for the stamps which had
not been Cancelled saying, "They can
be used again." Such acts cannot
help having pernicious influence.
They have their effect upon the mind
and heart.
Here is another case in which de-
ceit and dishonesty were instilled in
the young mind. Little George wrote
to his uncle that he had saved dollar
and was going to put it in tue bank.
He made figures to represent the mon
ey, and his uncle read it ten dollars in
stead of one dollar. The uncle an
swered, "You have done we'll, and
since you have saved as much as ten
dollars, I'll add another ten to it soon. y
"But l didn't write ten dollars -
said George, when he read the letter.
"Uncle made mistake in the figures" :"
"Well, never mind now," replied the
mother; "uncle can spare ten dollars
as we'll as not, 80 we need not say any
thing about the mistake when we
write" Thus the child's better and
more honorable impulses were checked
and a lesson was easily learned in greed
and dishonesty. Thus in many tri-
fling ways deceit and dishonesty are
taught to children by people who
would scorn to be thought dishonest,
and who never seem to think what
their influence may be in the family
and among whom they have business
r :lations. I have no doubt that the
principle in many cases which has led
to large detalcations may be traced
back to carly home influence. One ofthe
chief means to lessen dishonesty is to
be more careful in regard to home in
fluence, where, to large extent, the
principles of dishonesty are first i'm
bibed. The principle Of strict integri-
ty needs to be incu.cated, both by pre-
cept and example, IN the home and in
all the affairs OF life.-Rcu' j. ". My

MAKING HENS LAY IN
WINTER.

20. Men. is good enough to send
us the following for the benefit of our
readers:
Dear Sirs: Two years ago, in a
lecture before the chemistry class at
the Medical University where was a
student, the professor, while analyzing
an egg, stated that the reason hens
did not lay as many eggs in winter
as in summer was that in winter they
could not get the necessary food to
produce the yolk Of eggs, ard if farm
crs would feed their fowls powdered
red albumen in winter they could have
as many eggs as in summer. l was
interested in the subject, as my father
and brothers are farmers, so after the
lecture asked the prosessor in what
quantities and how the albumen should
be fed. He said to take a pound Of
powdered red albumen and mix it with
one pound of black or red pepper,
ground fine. then every morning mix
some ground feed, half wheat bran and
half corn meal, and to each quart of
this mixed feed add two teaspoonsful
of the mixed pepper and albumen, then
add enough of hot water to dampen
the feed, not to make it sticky. Give
quart of this hot feed to each twelve
hens every morning and quart OF
whole grain, wheat or corn, or both
mixed, for each twelve fowls every
evening, and in two weeks your hens
will begin to lay and will lay all win
ter if you feed them this feed. The
professor said he had kept pen Of
game fowls for fifteen years, he always
fed them this feed and always had an
abundance of eggs. l wrote to my
father and brothers, giving them this
recipe and they and several neighbors
tried it last winter with com plete sue
cess, the coolest weather did not stop
their hens laying. My father keeps
about one hundred light Brahmas;
winter before last they did not lay at
all, but en- this feed last winter aver
aged seven dozen eggs day all win
ter. One thing the Brahmas used to
do to finish, that was set, but last
spring father could not get hen to
set until be quit feeding this feed.
"My brother bought $50 young hens
last September, and got letter frcm
him to-day saying that he began CIV
ing this feed two weeks ago, and is
now getting over 200 eggs day. l
have great many friends back home
that read your paper, and thought l
would have you print this recipe, so
that they and and all your readers
that keep poultry could be benefited
by its use, for hens may as well lay
all winter as to be idle, but hen is
simply machine and if you do not
supply the material the hen cannot
lay the eggs. You can get pound
of pepper at any grocery for about 30
cents, a pound of red albumen at any
drug store for 60 cents, pound each
of pepper and abumen will feed so
hens for over a month, and you will
get 100 dozen eggs that you would
not get without it, and 100 dozen eggs
in winter are worth at least $20S and
| $50 for 80 cents worth of feed is sure
| ly a big profit"

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
"dyspepsia" means literally bad COOK,
it will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that
let Us hope so for the sake of the cook!
The disease dyspepsia indicates bad
stomach, that is weak stomach, rath-
er than a bad cook, and for a weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the
stomach vigor and tone. cures dyspep-
sia, creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure it should be.
