Orange Co., N. @.

Dear Aunt Jennie The many
haphazards and things of improprie-
ty which I have observed in these,
the refined days of courtship, have
led me to attempt their classification.
The t~sk, of course, is not very diff
cult, fOrI think it indisputable that
there are defects in everything hu-
man; but these that I purpose To
enumerate, have such a force for
harm that their discussion will not
surely be altogether inappropriate.
Perhaps, though, some of the Cir
Gle may see cause to criticiSe my at
titude as being too pronounced
against SO little a thing as courtship;
perhaps they may v picture rle as
a cross old fellow with no sense of
those tender, God-like feelings of
love-a shadow to murmur against
the sunlight and smiles of day-tin,e.
However, such will be wholly untrue.
I am but a nineteen-year-old lad

The Evil Effects of Tobacco Using.

The Evil Effects OF Tobacco Using.
Dear Aunt Jennie:-I come again
knocking for admittance after an alb
sence of many months.
First. I extend to you and the
Chatterers an invitation to the"Year-
ly Union Picnic of Orange County"
to be held at Efland, N. O., Septen-
Der 90, 1902. The picnic is for the
yearly reunion ami meeting Of tic
Sabbath-schools, old Confederate vet
Grams, farmers, business men and all
who want to spend one day each year
in a special holiday. Aunt Jennie,
we will be more than pleased to have
you with us that day.
And now of what must / write
next2 Many thoughts come to mind
until l take UP my pen and then
thoughts leave me and I find think
ing a hard task.
Just a few lines this time, how
ever, on the use of tobacco,
"Heathendom's most popular gift to
Christendom."
How many readers of The Pro-
gressive Farmer use tobacco in some
form? Just a few words of warming
to my young friends. "Within half
a century," says DR.. Dio Lewis, "no
young man addicted to the use of
tobacco has graduated at the head of
his class in Harvard College, though
five out of six of the students have
used it. The chances, you see, were
five in six that a smoker would grad
uate at the head of his class if tobac-
co does no harm. But during half a
century not one victim of tobacco
was able to come out ahead"
Tobacco dulls the mind, besides be-
ing otthheFrwise s9Sb3jj eet oune
friends, do not let any one persuade
you to begin the habit of smoking or
using in any way this poisonous
weed, tobacco.
Let us hear from all the Chatterers
along this line; give us your views
of the tobacco question.
Coed will and best wishes to all.
Your unknown friend,
WATCHMAN.

HOW GENERAL GRANT LOST HIS
"HIRAM."
It was a Friends Mistake that Deprived
Him Forever of His Real Name.

Not many Americans know that
Hiram =. Grant was the e'gnteeE'1
President of the United States? Yet
it is true, for ulysses. Simpson"
was never legally the name Of our
General-President his Interesting
fact is brought out by Franklin B.
Wiley in The Ladies' Home Journal
for September, In Famous People
as We Do, Not Know Them" The
story of how it came about was told
by a member of Congress-Thomas
L. Hamer-who recommended young
Grant as a candidate for West Point
in 1889. Mr.. Hamer had long been
a friend of the Grants, but when he
came to make out the application
papers for Ulysses he could not recall
the boys full name. So, deciding
that he was doubtless named for his
mothers family, he wrote it ULYSSES
Simpson Grant," Thus was it re-
corded At West Point, and though
the attention of the officials was sew
eral times called to the error they
did not feel authorized to correct it.
This name was gradually adopted,
and by it Grant was, and always will
be, known. But as for any record
of the birth of ulysses Simpson
Grant" that does not exist.

From Jennie Acton.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I feel that I.
must talk to you all this morning.
Everybody is busy pulling fodder and
seeing it pulled, talking crops, cot
ton, ETC., but I am tired of all this
calculating and specializing as to
probable prices; so will turn from it
and discuss a subject of more impor-
lance to us women folks, and it may
be of more interest to the men if it
ever becomes a law, which I hope it
will.
The measure which l would advo-
cate is that drunkenness be made the
first cause for divorce. There are few
evils of which the drink habit is not
the father. Then those women who
are bound would be free again and
many a selfish old man who is now
sole proprietor of a splendid woman
slave would[ eform himself rather
than give her up. Am I not rightg
Such a thought may never have
tered his stupid drink bedimmed
brain but it is rue nevertheless. She
does work for him that he could not
hire done, and even if he could it
would not be satisfactory.
Slavery has been abolished, so they
say, but / tell you the truth when /
say that the slavery of womankind
bound, as the law now stands, by ire
vocable ties to men who themselves
acknowledge no master but who serve
most assiduously King Alcohol, is
worse than that of the African slave.
If she be of the Caucasian race, she
instinctively loathes a being who per-
sists in stealing and destroying his
own brains. Then too she loathes the

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

We are delighted because of the re-
turn of Waterman to our Circle.
How glad we would be if many who
have remained silent so long would
remember hat we would like to hear
from them alsol The note to me
which was enclosed in the letter is an
inspiration, a good tonic, and slim
ulates my tagging perseverance to
further endeavor. How often al n
couraging word proves to be a price
less thing when we get to the forks
of the road and indecision stares us
in the face and we r perplexed as
to whether we should take this road
or that(or whether indeed there is any
real use of taking either, but being
tired and discouraged, we would fain
stop until our dropping spirits are
revived by the message of cheer.)
There is no labor too arduous if we
find encouragement in it but a little
task seems hard if nobody says an
encouraging word. Half the hills in
life would be easy to climb if a help
ing hand were extended.
So instead of continually grumb-
ling at the bad in people, let us seek
out their good qualities and foster
them by encouraging words. I won
der if it is as some writer's assert that
a boy is almost invariably what his
parents make him believe he will be
when ~bHeeeeSSPfnes Sman? If it is
true, what a fearful responsibility
the parents of this country have rest
ing on theml I wonder if it is true
of the girls, too. This / know, that
fault finding is exceedingly depress-
ing to the best efforts of any person,
whether child or one of mature years.
Tardy reward for honest effort is a
poison infused into the inner con-
sciousness of the subject and it's bad
effects are felt years after. Make
a student believe that he is a laggard
and see for yourself if he tries TO
lead. Convince him that he is cdpa-
BILE of conquering difficult problems
and he is usually a student of whom
any teacher might feel proud.
Believe in your boy or girl; find
the good qualities and tell them how
proud you are of them, and they will
develop others equally good. A fav-
orite and fruitless way of fault-fn1-
ing is to be continually telling your
own children how much better TIE
children of Mr.. Somebody-else are,
and while discussing the good quail.
ties of those children, magnify the
bad qualities of those who listen. The
child, if this course of treatment is
persisted in, will become SO Disguised
with those perfect" children as
to be loath even to carry a lunch to
school in the same kind OF basket or
bucket. Encourage every good effort;
it will accomplish vastly more than
abuse for the bad.

impelled to this study, and the iulpru.
dent ideas which I shall here set
forth may well be attributed to a
zeal to make mine and some other
life earnest, happy and helpful.
One evil standing guard against
my touching the delectable plaything,
is nonsense. To me this constitutes
an almost objectionable grievance
against the refnements of modern
society. But nevertheless it is a fav-
orite among the youngsters. They
must use it to magnify their COM
| plants to thrust one position along
side of another; to develop under
standing in the lively field; to make
the present a study as well as the
past, and consequently there are fear
full exaggerations of the most trivial
incidents that could possibly happen.
Astonishing and very silly are these
little pests that rise and fall, like
kingdoms of old, but, trusting that
future years will handle the times
more properly and make it possible
for me to find a girl who would rather
talk Shakespeare than slang, I fold
my hands and wait, patiently wait.
Another gross evil is vanity. That
the present age has a right to be
proud, is evident in the splendid de.
velopments everywhere manifest. But
when so lowly a creature as a boy or
girl attempts to raise it's little height
above the requirements which herald
the entrance into manhood, n nat
urally becomes Disguised. So when I
take a peep into the things beneath
the outward polish, and hear self so
highly 4atterysdds and see Torth
dwindle and be brushed away, and
feel my own trifing weight lean with
the breeze, [ can see the truth of Sol
ONION when he said, Cali is vanity"
am then in downright despair.
Surely though, I can find a girl who
cares less for self than for accom-
plishment, less for good looks than
good principles, and who will make
her pride large or small according to
the bliss and needs of home. Surely,
l say, I can find one. Am I wrong,
Aunt Jennie?
Last and certainly most despicable
of all the folllies I have observed is
insincerity. This is a sin responsible
for many alterations and woes and
disappointments, and in nothing is
it so strongly exercised as in the at
tentions between the sexes. 81 love
you," assures the young man. 81
love you," c~onfesses the girl modestly
but with much emphasis. Sweet re-
joicing! But in a month the assur-
ances and confessions can be ascer-
tanned only by the number with whom
they have come to terms in these
changing orders of time. The result
is this decidedly: The average lover,
like a Indian warrior, strives to es-
tablish fame and glory by whatever
means is necessary; deceit has made
hearts nowadays as insensible to true
love as is Endymion to the caresses
of Selene, in the rocky 'grotto on
Mount Latmus! How, Aunt Jennie,
