The Blues.

Got the blues, did you say? Sure
enough! A genuine attack, and the
sun shining bright in the heavens, and
not cloud to be seen. Well! Well!
Come, my friend, shake yourself to-
gether. Go out into the sunshine and
look about you. Is this time for the
blues? See how gleefully all nature
is smiling. Don't be behind hand in
being happy when everything else is
rejoicing. This world is not vale OF
tears. This life was not given to us
as a time for weeping and wailing.
Come, get yourself out Of this Slough
of Despond. This is time for action.
Never sit by the roadside and lament
over hy-gones, or despair because inn
possibilities are not brought 10 pass.
There are just as grand opportunities
perhaps before you rs have ever been
experienced. There may not be just
as much prosperity and happiness for
your future, if you so will, as there has
been in the past.
And what facel You'll spread
horror by such long-drawn counte-
nance. Indeed it is enough to givea
bufioon the blues, even to look at II.
Go to the glass and get a glimpse OF
Yourself, and then compare it with the
looks Of friends with whom you meet,
bu don't stand looking at yourself
long. walk forth in Gods pure at
mosphere. Give hearty good-day to
every man and woman you meet; a
smile and a nod at every child; CHR
rup or whistle TO every dog, and there
will be but little more trouble with
the blues. The ailment cannot stand
such treatment. 1t hourishes only on
moodiness and dissatisfaction. Sun
light dispels the clouds Of a murky
sky, and so does a sunny disposition
scatter the blues.
Do not sit and ponder over trouble'
you cannot dispel it by making your
self miserable. Never look into the
future with despair; you cannot cross
a bridge until you come to it. Don't
harrow your mind over things that
cannot be helped. Live confding in
the present. The past cannot now be
remedied, and you have yet to try the
future. Now is when you must act, II
YOU act at all. Now is when you must
be happy If you expect to enjoy your,
self. So do not NOPE. Force yourself
TO be careful. The blues will not stay
long don'tembrace them. When
YOU are threatened with an ATTACK
whistle yankee Doodle" or roll out
"Old Hundred" and we pledge oul
word for il, you can soon laugh with
the best of them. Show US a person
who can whistle or sing when disap
pointments come and We will shOw yOt
one who is never troubled with th'
blues. The remedy is infallible. Try
il and be convinced.

A MERE MATTER OF MONEY.

Two hundred dollars, please

standing near the doorway, addressed
her remark to a quiet. innoccntlook-

with establishment.

claimed. What for?"

money. Why, l wouldn't do such

The hostess shrugged her shoulders

will cease to be an honored and re-

Death Of {. ]. Whitehead.

The sudden death Of Mr.. Ernest j..
Whitehead, which occurred at his res
idence in this place last Saturday
morning, was a great shock to our peo-
pie as we'll as a great grief. Though
not bles ed with robust health he was
so constantly at the post Of duty that
none of us regarded him as other than
a well man. The evening before his
death he was unusually bright and
abounded in good cheer. He gladden.
ed the hearts Of friends who were visit
ing in his home, and gave new glow
to the home he so loved.
Possessed as he was Of many virtues,
to our mind his modesty crowned
them all. As gentle as a woman he
was yet the manly man in all things.
As clerk of the Court, one Of the most
important offices in the gift Of our yo-
tiers, he was model Of neatness and eff
ficiency; as citizen he was patriotic,
as friend loyal and true, as Christian
conscientious and charitable, as hus-
band, son, brother he was devoted,
considerate and loving.
Nh Whitehead was in his thirty
third year Of age, being probably the
youngest county court clerk in the
State. He leaves a wife, mother, two
brothers and a sister, Mrs. f. II. Rus
sell, to mourn his departure.
1t is mysterious providence that
removes such an one from his sphere
Of usefulness while yet the sun Of life
had scarce touched the meridian.
His funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. ;. G. Hatcher, assisted by
Rev. Oscar Littleton, on Monday
morning at II o'clock, and, like the
man himself, were marked by an i'm
pressive quietness that hushed the
large number Of friends who gathered
to honor his memory, into felt still
ness. The floral tributes were hume
rous and of most exquisite richness
and fairness.
The burial took place in our town
cemetery, and no gentler spirit rests
in the City of our Dead.

A Rich Treat in Store.

Major Venable will entertain at his
home in the country on next Saturday
afternoon the Normal girls who at
tend the Presbyterian Church as well
as the scholars aud teachers Of the
Sunday School
1t is the custom to entertain these
young ladies in the fall, soon after the
opening Of the school, but owing to
the Improvements which were being
made at the church at that time it was
impossible
Prof. Jones, Of the Normal faculty,
will assist Major Venable in being
host on the occasion. The cream,
fruits and other good things will be
served on the lawn, and in case Of a
rain a large granary near by will be a
secure retreat from the storm. The
young people will-no doubt enjoy the
occasion and so will the older ones.

You keep things in order; really must shirk
Though the flct dear. is deeply regretted.
Today she has daughters whose delicate hands
Are wholly untitled FOR labor;
Il almost fatgues them to futter their fans
When they languidly call on a neighbor.
Their mission on earth is to gossip and dress.
And live upon life's sweetest honey;
And they haven'ta bother or trouble. unless
Their masculine bank fails in money
It isn't the loveliest thing. to be sure.
To dabble in cooking and dishes;
But never home was kept tidy and pure
By dainty. aesthetic wishes.

More attractive than putting stitch IN
And many weary. industrious wife.

Butduty Is duty and dirt always dirt.
And only the lazy deny it.

But man never yet was clothed BY IT,
To sit in a parlor. in INDECENT ease.
Till one grows all fragile and lazy.
Or Aounee through the streets. silly gazer TO

Is being too much Of a lady.
Too much Of lady TO darn up her hose,
Or govern her house with aeumen;
Too much Of lady. wherever she goes.
To ever be much Of a womanl
The muscles that God made are useless to her.
Except TO be wrapped up in satin'
And as for an intellect-she would prefer
A bonnet to mastering Latin.
Too much Of lady to own a grand heart,
To be true daughter or mother;
Too much Of a lady to bear the brave part
That ne'er can be borne by another.
By fashion or birth quite too fine for this earth

Though our Lord may delight in the lilies in
