1 the gate at Mrs. Fuller's, 1t must sure ly have been leap year when he and Miss Nancy Long made their matrimon- iai bargain. The door was opening someone was coming out. In another moment Simon would have been posting ingloriously down the road--but the door opened with 8 jerk; and, behold, 1t was only Mrs. Fuller, stalwart of figure and rasping eof tongue.
 Come along in," she said, with curt speech and frosty eye. i've got to go over to the paster after them calves. I can't git no work out O nobody else on this place. You'll find Sereny in the front room-settin over the fire an play in lady.'
 Not all the riches of the world would have tempted Simon to run away then, though his knees smote together. He walked straight on, with an assumed look of 1t being an everyday matter; but such are the craven revenges which Ma ture takes upon us for our moments of overweening pride that five minutes iat- CT Simon was sitting at one corner of the big stone fireplace and Sereny at the other; both of them with very red faces, and both staring at the fire with serious consideration. The fire sparkled and snapped merrily, and the white kitten on the plaited hearthrug stretched itself luxuriously and cast sleepy eyes at Si- mon.
 It's cold-to-day-isn't it?" asked &c., reny, timidly The silence had grown so terrible that it must be broken, though the heavens fall.
 "'Tain't as cold as what it was yist'- day." said Simon. with judicial discern ment. The silence fell again; and &c., reny moved uneasily. with her pretty eyes on the fire.
 ''It looks to me like 1t would be cloud in up for rain about Satiday." she breathed faintly.
 T dunno-the wind might turn to the north ag'in,' Simon suggested.
 Then the clock on the mantel strug- gled up in the silence and ticked thun- derously. Simon was counfounded at the manner in which the clock demanded. over and over. with the greatest per- sistence:
 Its-cold-to-day-isn't - it?" Both young faces were very red. and four ab- sorbed eyes were on the fire Sereny, in desperation, took up the corner of her checkd apron and began to twist 1t in nervous fingers.
 Your ma says she's goin to sell the red cow" she remarked, tentatively
 Yes" Simon replied. "The red COW kicks-an' the man that's buyin' her don't mind it so much-he does the milk In himself"
 Sereny sighed, and was visibly search ing through her mind for some new peg to hang a question on. Hows that new horse O your'n get. tin on?' she asked, timidly, her eyes on l the fire.

What The Earth Produces.

The earth has nourished us through un. known ages of human existence. Is 1t not true that the earth supplies us with every thing that we really require for existence Have you ever thought that 1t is probable that the earth supplies us with the means to keep our bodily vigor, our health, If we only knew it7 The animals know by in- stinct what is good for them and will search until they find in some plant what they need for correcting indigestion or constipa- ton, etc Is 1t, therefore, not possible that there are roots and herbs supplied by nature which will cure the diseases that afaict human kind1 That is why Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has such faith in his 0Med- ical Discovery" Years ago, when he was in general and active practice, he found that a combination of certain herbs and roots made into an alternative extract, with. out the use of alcohol, would always put the stomach into healthy condition, nour- ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves and put healthy tone into the whole system.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery restores the lost flesh by curing diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition and enabling the perfect di- gestion and assimilation of food from which flesh and strength are made.
 L. Royalty, Esq, Justice of the Peace, Lexing- ton, Ky, for a9 years, writes: VI am satisfied that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will give permanent relief, and cure any one who may be suffering from stomach and liver trouble, which as a rule are the result of bowel difficulties. My experience with the above named medicine was most satisfactory. It soon had my system well regulated and toned up, and have felt in splendid health and spirits ever sinee.D

 Cold as 1t was. Mrs. Motley sat straight up in her chair in the front nalIery.' and famed herself with her sunbonnet, as she made sharp and viz orous comment on persons and things to the embarrassed young giant in front of her.
 That's jest what I went over there for" she said, with rapid utterance. "I knew in my very bones that the minute Eereny's pa died that stepmother O hern would be pacIxIn' her off to some O her kinfolks. while she snatched up ever'- thing that ought by rights to be Ser eny's. An after the way that girl has sIaved forst that woman!-an' she ain't as strong as a OK, Sereny ain't-an' so now 1zls' Fuller's fixin' to git red of her. Elf you nad the epeTret of a nigh land tar rapfn, simon. you wouldn't let her be sent out O the country like that-an' her as pretty an nice as she is-an we'll behaved an modest. too. an not one O these te-he-he's like that Gusty Free man. Gyeat sakes alive, Simon, eff your pa had been as tongue-tied as you, I'd "a been Nancy Long to this day. T" any rate, you might have git-up enough to SO over there an tell Sereny good-by. She's goin' in the mornin', and it'll be your last chance. Goodness knows, dunnow what the young men Is comin' So. They ain't like what they was in ypur pas time"
 With this parting thrust Mrs. Motley went into the house and shut the door, preparatory to changing her ''I.ack- aD0ut' dress for her "everday" dress; but when the door was shut she applied an inuuiring eye to a tiny rent in the window curtain. It was the only rent an the house that was unpatched or un- daFned: but 1t commanded a view of the front gallery and the gate and the re- aiong beyond; and Mrs. Motley was a . woman of discernment.
 The young giant on the front gallery ahifted his feet uneasily, and had twltching sensations in his legs. His face grew distinctly redder for some crucial moments. After awhile he sigh ea+-a quivering sigh, that gave token of the struggle within him, and then he began to grow pale and paler. After wards he unfolded his goodly length, looked away eastward toward the Fuller farm for a little space, and tramped away to the gate.
 He's goin'l" said Mrs Motley to her self, in a tone of jubilation. Now the Lord give him his fathers grit for once in his life!"
 After which pious ejaculation, Mrs. Motley took down the ever'day dress from it's especial peg in the closet.
 But if Simon's father had been gifted with the grit with which Simon opened

 The kitten seized the occasion to bump a caIlow head against Simon's chin and purred hiiariously, while Simon waited for his answer. And Sereny, shaken with sobs and yet quivering with fearful laughter, reached up and laid a round young arm about his neck. IT always thought you was the handsomest man I ever saw!" she whis- pered, proudly. Simon stood up and lifted her to her feet.
 Put on your things, an let's go an tell ma," he commanded, his head high, as with one who has just come into his heritage. T want her to see that some- body else has got grit, as well as pal"

Troy Chapter.

A meeting of the Troy Chapter of the U. D. C.'s was held at the home of Miss Sallie Williams. March 1st. This was a full, live meeting, and much business was transacted.

 A most interesting report was then given by Mrs. W. H. Sanford, Director of Troy Chapter, covering the meeting of the Executive Board held with Mrs. Wood in Troy, February IS. The Chap ter heartily endorsed the action of the board. And was especially pleased that a literary feature in our State Conven- tion is to be inaugurated.

Too Many Military Rulers.

Russia Is handicapped by the idea that nobody who is not a general can gov ern anybody. For places where the greatest tact is required she selects mll- ltary men, because she has no conccp- ton Of the ruling ability of civilians. If she would put men of administratiN C ability and rational preferences in cha.se of Unaffected portions of her domain her progress toward the unity of the Eni- pire' would be much more rapid than it is under the policy of repression en- couraged by her military superstition.

CHAPTER NEWS.
Belle Nina Chapter.


 Our Chapter met on the 17th of Febru- ary with Mrs. J. w. Woodroof. We had quite full meeting. considering the bad weather, and the absence of several of our most valuable members from the neighborhood. There were three well- written and well-read articles by Mes danes Rankin. Garrett and N. B. Bibb. With these we finished the interesting life of Forrest. We were glad to enroll two new members, whom we consider quite an addition to the Chapter-Mesdames Cart nef and Nethery. To Mrs. Sanders, the mother of the hostess, and Misses Mary and Frances Hundley. we are indebted for the music which deserves our thanks. Mrs. Woodroofs home was tastefully dec orated with the colors of the U. D. C., and In the refreshments and favors, the red and white was seen. Mrs. Woodroof proved herself a successful hostess, and all took their departure with a God-bless- you in their hearts for her.
