THE HAUNTED CITY.

Some hearts remembrance and regret
till every street with life profound;
i his corner where of old we met
To me has since been hallowed ground
l never pass in sun or rain
Now, but j meet you here again.
We cannot go from where we dwell
=. And leave behind no lingering trace:
w mere IN the past our shadow fell
y shadow of us haunts the place:
Returning now, ourselves may there
Disturb some ghost of what we were.
The stones are thrilled BY many tread
Ihat leaves no footprint where il strays .
Shades OF the living and the dead
in silence throng the noisy WAYS:
Here where | meet in showcr-or shine
our ghost, you haply meet with mine.
ne ar mas sounds we cannot hear.
Is dim with shades that none can see:
i ho, dear the living voice and dear
The sight of living voices be.
Mlth Nndher yearnings yet we greet
1he trends we see not when we meet.

APPRECIATION OF THE
PRESENT


Ardent pessimists tell us that
the cost of living in town or city,
is rapidly on the increase, and
regret their inability to restore
Old time customs of social life,
and economy. While we fully
agree that we are living at a
lightening-express rate, the fact
confronts US sternly, that there is
no turning back to the past. AS
delightful as was that period
when Southern men and women
had Time as it were by the fore
lock, and held the old gentleman
obedient to command, we must
realize that a new dispensation,
politically, financially and social
ly, is here, and the wheels of
progress have no brakes.
Fancy man who was brought
up on spring water, who conned
the time honored blue-backed
speller by the light of a tallow
dip, and rode in an OK wagon,
becoming accustomed to arte-
sian water, electric lights, a ves-
tibuled Pullman and the daily
papers. Happy and contented as
may have been his childhood and
boyhood in the enjoyment of those
primitive blessings, a return to
them would fill his soul with
wGetchedness. 1t is a necessity
of the age in which we live that
we become hustlers, and we need
no more expect to enjoy modern
conveniences and the leisure of
our grandparents, than we can
expect to indulge in riotous liv-
ing from early youth to ripe old
age, and maintain a sound diges-
ton and good health. All things
delightful cannot be combined in
this vale Of tears, and instead Oh
deploring past blessings it is a
duty to properly appreciate the
opportunities and multifold con-
veniences of the present. The
world never before knew them a:
We do, and though we live in &
rush to get them, let us thank
fully, joyfully accept what has
been bequeathed us by the eff.
forts of past generation, and il
our turn let us endeavor to leave
to posterity an inheritance il
keeping with the age in which
we live.

MILLroNAIREs' POOR STOMACH.

WIN
The worn out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is. often paraaed in the
public prints as a horrible example of
toe evils attendant on the possession
of great wealth. But millionaires are
not the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion
is the greater among the toilers. Dys-
pepsia sand INDICATION are rampant
among these people, and they suffer
far worse tortues than the millionaire
unless they avail themselves of a
standard medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty five years.
August Flower rouses the torpid liver
thue creating appetite and insuring
perfect digestion. 1t tones and vital

worth living, no matter what your

CHEAP CHARITY.

That the mantle of charity COW
ers a multitude of faults and fail
ings, all will admit, but most of
US deny ourselves the wearing Of
this beautiful garment, because
we consider it too high priced for
ordinary every day wear. We
are prone to wear it upon high
days and holidays, and like most
garments which are donned semi
occasionally, it is often a misfit,
or awkwardly worn. The pleas
ure of going through this vale of
tears with an open heart and
purse, which feeds the hungry
and clothes the naked, is enjoyed
by a favored few, but charities of
another kind are within the means
of all. The bestowal of pleasant
words and smiles may be appro-
priately made upon rich and poor,
old and young, and without ex-
ception, would be appreciated by
all. A working woman of our
town, upon starting to her place
of business one dreary winter
morning, dispirited and discour-
aged, met a woman of wealth.
The bread winner expected the
usual patronizing nod, but a
pleasant smile and cordial good
morning greeted her. The work.
er was oheered and helped, and
all through the day the memory
of that smile brought a feeling of
responsive hope and cheer.
Years ago, there lived in our.
town a physician, who made it a
point to pass q pleasant word or
joke with every one he fmet,
be they white or black, old or
young. Poverty prevented him
from giving in dollars and cents.
but his popularity was universal,
and his presence was a tonic, and
a sure remedy for blues and dis
enlargement.
Not only are smiles and pleas
ant words an easy means of help
ing our fellow beings, but the art
of seeing and saying good things
about our associates is another
method of oiling the machinery
of daily life. When we take note,
and point out the glazing faults
OF our acquaintance and friends,
how much better would it be to
keep our knowledge of such to
ourselves. and instead, point out
their individual virtues and good
qualities. You tell your conf
dent that Mrs. A. is a gossip and
untruthful, which may be unvar-
nished truth, but would it not be
more charitable to tell how kind
she is to the sick, and how gene
rous to the poor, and keep her
shortcomings to yourself ?
Charity of speech costs nothing
but self-restraint; why not use it
freely and lavishly, and 1.-The
kindness we to others show" will
surely return 70 US.
