THE OLD HOME.

Thomas Dunn English, the author
of "Ben-BOlt," who died in April last,
was nearly eighty-three years old. He
was born only ten years after Edgar
Allen Poe. The announcement of his
death was followed by the r~eprinting
of his most famous ballad in many
places, and its reading and ~re-reading
by thousands of men and women
What is it's charm? 1t is not poetry
of a high order, nor is it very good
verse. 1t was set to a pleasing tune,
but not to II to be compared with the
air of "Annie Laurie" or "Swanee
River" in those qualities that find per-
manent favor with the people. Yet it
belongs to a small class of songs, every
one of which holds a secure place in
the hearts of the generation for which
they were written, and is known and
loved by many younger folk, who have
learned them from parents or grand
parents.
These songs celebrate In n fashion
or another the influence of country
sights, sounds, occupations upon the
growing boy or girl. They are not
~love-songs, except that they are full
of the love of country life. Their
phrases are often homely, their music
may be cheap but they have the power
to bring tears to the eyes of even a
conventional man or woman of the
world, as they carry the imagination
back to the childhood's home.

Ny brother was in the last battle at

many sad hearts because of loved ones
who had fallen in the defense of their
country.

OLD TIMES IN TIE SOUTH.
VIII.
AUNT JENNIE.

Dear Aunt Jennie Wei do / re-
member the year 1861, when my broth
er bid loved ones farewell and started
to the war. My father was much OPP
posed to his going, as he was yet far
too young. AS a matter of course, he
ran away; but that was a small mat
ter, as his father was on the railroad
before and during the war.
Brother joined the Enfield Blues, Co,
l., First Regiment. He was ordered t.
Yorktown, Va, and was in the battle
at Bethel. They served six months,
were paroled, came home, and brother
soon after went as a substitute for one
of our most skilful physicians. Later
he joined Go. I, Seventeenth Regiment.
They camped at Kinston quite a little
while. He weRt through the war and
was never wounded. A passing ball
just did touch him once; didn't break
the skin, it was so far spent.
Well, while lots of people were
frightened for fear of Yankee raids, I
never saw me-. The fact is, I was a
native of Edgecombe County, and the
nearest points they came to us we're
Tarboro, twenty miles away, and they
went to Rocky Mount, and burned the
factory, which was twelve miles from
us. Still we we're expecting them 1T
most any time. On one occasion a
cousin that resided on the public road
leading from Tarboro to Enfield, sent
some of her best dresses, blankets,
quilts, and other articles for us to care
for. We lived a little back where the
raiders would not be so apt to go.
AS the wal progressed, groceries and
dry goods advanced to quite a high
price. Substitutes for cofee-sweet
potatoes, rye, okra seed, and others
were tried. A sister of mine succeed
ed in buying her a plain calico dress,
which cost ten dollars per yard. She
got ten yards.
My father bought a pair of cotton
cards and gave thirty-fve dollars. They
came from Rocky Mount, and some
time after he purchased another pair,
for which he gave eighty dollars; those
he bought in Wilmington. Wooden
bottom shoes were much used for
slaves to wear.
My brother sent home some beauti-
full samples of homespun woven in the
Western part of the State. Sister and
1 selected from among them a spotted
piece. We carded and spun the filing,

AUNT n LETTER.

Alphomega's game of questions was
in last weeks Progressive Farmer, and
will interest all the Chaterers. [ see
that Jennie Acton has numbered the
questions, which I think a good idea.
Some exceedingly interesting letters
can be written by many of you on sub
jects suggested by those interroga-
tions, and we would enjoy giving them
to our readers.
Mrs. DaiIs letter is interesting and
makes us thankful that prices are not
what they once were. We are glad to
have her with us.
Nellie's letter on one-sided educa-
ton is a lesson for us all. How true
it is that oftentimes education, or
rather superficial education, seems to
push our children away from us. But
no woman can make a palitable cake
of sugar, eggs and dirt and no boy
grows to be the right kind of man I'M
less he has the proper material to build
on. We do not build vessels of tissue
paper for service. They may be orna-
mental, but there is so little ]apprecia-
ton for mere ornament. Ours is a
crowded old world; there are so many
travellers on the road to success that
if you are not sure of your bearings
presently there will be a crash and
down you CO., for your paper craft will
not breast competition. Be thorough
in whatever you undertake to do. If
there are two nails needed where one
will do for a time, put the two nails
or you will have the trouble to do
again the job you might have finished
at first with only a few more taps of
your hammer. False pride has ruined
more people in the world than any 9TH
er n little sentiment. Honest labor
is never degrading.

ABO' AIPHOMReA's QUESTION.

Dear Aunt Jennie must 81, .
Alphomega is just a little extra1, 'at
with his shot and shell when h. "a
to fire questions at us. Most hoy
content to ask only one, but HI. az
includes Twenty-Five questions s+ Ssa'
and the last must be answered 'u
times. "
Well, I started out to answer
of them, but I find that I will b.vs
put about six answers to the verr e
one. I wonder what he would saw = ,
did?
To be brave, not rash, but daring II
face life's duties each day with q ooI
thoughtful gentleness of name, =
much consideration for his fellovm.s
to be upborne by a reasonable amons,
of self esteem, not vanity; a man :,
integrity-these are characterised,
that are utterly indispensable in ~.
makeup of the perfect man.
Now I mean to try to answer u.
others with n little word, but beiD,
a woman, I wonder if I can.
No. 2. Tyranny. Oh, I wish I con3
say slothfulness, too, for [ do disI[.
that equally as much.
Now the next question is, What :.
your favorite extravaganza? Hono,
bright, mine is jewels; they tell m.
that I am a little savage in this 70,
spect, but I can't help it. I am lta.
ashamed of it some times, but the ver
first peep into the azure depths Of .
sapphire or those brilliant little rain,
bows that flash from a diamond trans.
form regret and I realize that 7 am
still their devoted, if foolish, admirer
I find that I have answered the
twenty-ffth question with the first one,
You e that [ am a skipper, for I
mean to answer just one more and
then stop. The twenty-sixth is, What
quality do you most dislike in mani
Littleness and [ suppose that includes
general good-for-nothingness, and all
it's attributes.
I shall have to think about the other
questions for some time before I can
answer them. Meanwhile I hope some
of you who always wear your thinking
caps straight will tell Alphomega what
you think of them.

FAsAION HINTS FOB SUMNER,
The July Delineator, Just issue

The July Delineator, just issued
says:
The Gibson" effects remain popu-
lar and r particularly well suited to
pique, linen, duck and madras.
The vogue of hand embroidery,
which has entered so largely into the
decoration of handsome silk and cloth
gowns for Spring, continues, and many
of the new b~louses and shirt-waiSs
show this establishment.
A special feature of all the new col
ors this season is the soft tint made
by blending one with another-gray
with greens and blues, brown with
reds, etc.
Foulards showing polka-dot designs
in both black-and-white and dark-and'
white are especially well liked for
shirt-waist costumes.
White batistes make fascinating
toilettes when associated with embrold-
cred batiste or with all-over lace; such
dresses are made unlined and are IN
tended to be worn over colored silk
foundations.
Some of the most charming Of the
Summer gowns are made of inezpen-
sive dimities and lawns.
Shirt-waist suits of chambray or
cotton cheviot are an important item
in the Summer girls wardrobe.
Black Chantilly is one of the most
popular laces of the season and is en-,
ployed on net, mousseline, chiffon and
thin silk.
Since many of the Summer gowns
have elbow sleeves, bracelets will Dc
popular, and they are shown in variety
Parasols to match the gown are d
new style; the dolly Warden" is qul.S
the latest in the chiffon variety and IS
made, as the name implies, of HoWerSu
material, decorated with ruches.
? While hats are large they are Hgn'
in weight. Neapolitan and Tuscan
straws are much employed, and com
bined with tulle or chiffon produce
airy creations. Hats are 1nVS
riable broad and fat, with a little dr0p
at the back and trimming ends tha'
fall over on the hair.

ON HIS BLINDNESS. =

When .consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days, in this dark world
and wide,
And that one talent which is death
to hide,
Lodged with me useless, though my
soul more bent
To serve Herewith my Maker, and pre-
sent
My true account, lest He, returning,
chide;
Doth God exact day-labor, light
denied?"
I fondly ask, but Patience, to pre-
vent
That murmur, soon replies ;-"God
doth not need
Either mans work, or his own gifts;
who best
Bear his mild yoke; they serve him
best; his state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding
speed,
And post DER land and ocean with
out rest:
They also serve who only stand and
wait"
