A BLACK FROST THIS MORNING.

When / awoke this morning and felt
the singing temperature after L had
thrown off the extra blankets, put aside
the window curtain to see what had gone
on during the watches of the night, as
to weather.
The roofs of the houses were white
as II with snow, and the sides of the
street were ditto. In an hour after the
sun came up there was nothing green
to be seen anywhere (save small patcn
of rye) in our vicinity. .--..
1t was a clean sweep and a black
frost! 1 saw 1t once this way, as early
as the third Sunday in September, and
/ cannot recall so black a frost as this
one at any other period within my re-
membrance.
This boar frost that 1 mention came
in 1856, and caught peaches on the trees
and gardens in full plenty. 1t was pre-
coded by rainstorm on Friday AFTER
noon, one of the gully-washer and trash
moving sort of transforms. There was
terrible wind and excessive thunder and
lightning, .. -.-.~..
The storm caught a large crowd Of
preachers, delegates and visitors OF the
Primitive Baptist persuasion, who were
on their way to a big two days meet
ing eight miles above US, and they stoI-
ped in with US for shelter from the 1u-
rious storm-cioud.
When dark came, the rain was still
heavy, and there was nothing to do
but try to feed, shelter and make them
as comfortable as we could under the
trying circumstances.
1t soon grew so cold that fires must
be made all over the house for some OF
the travellers were wet and dry clothes
were in demand. 1t was night to be
remembered by all of US; we as well as
themselves. BY , o'clock we had beds and
pallets made ready, upstairs and down,
and a plentiful supper Of bread, meat
and hot coffee; but there were horses
to be stabbed and fed and wood to gather
in for morning fires. -
Nobody dreamed of a killing frost, at
that time of the year, but the cold rain
had brought very chilly weather, and
most uncomfortable conditions. These
people had started from home with sum-
mer wear and as they rode and drove
off next morning 1 was of the opinion
that they would smell the patching" "
to use a hunters phrase, unless they
turned about for home-with their sum-
mer garb and the wind blowing a stin
Northwestern and cold as rips.
1t was that Saturday night which
played havoc with potatoes, peas, water
melons. gardens, peaches, apples and
such like.
We had a magnificent red Indian peach
tree in the garden, just getting ripe ana
full of luscious fruit. On Sunday morn
ing those peaches weer as hard as bricks
and tasteless to boot
The snap was clean one. The cotton
crop was cut short, not a green bole
opened, and the pastures played out for
the grass was as dead next week as at
Christmas.
We can imagine the destruction If last
nights frost had come on us moro than
full month ago.
We have had the finest gathering sea-
son this year, 1 nearly ever saw, but
the black frost has put an end to green
stuff and people must get to feeding
cattle in the barn yard now The afore-
time freeze came on the third Saturday
night in September, 1866 years ago.

THE BANE OF ROYAL AMBITION.


where Queen Alexandra, Of England, is
visiting her relatives, that the queen is
losing her mind. because Of her various
disappointments since the death of the
late King Edward of England.
She had a long waiting spell-while Old
Queen Vie lived on and on, and l sup
pose she felt that she was to have long
time herself also, after her husband sue
ceeded his mother to the throne. But
she failed to recollect that her husband
lived a much faster life than her prudent
and careful old mother-in-law, and his
lamp burned out quicker because of this
fast record. Nobody can tax their physi-
cal system for a long series of years,
and fail to get what is coming to them
In the way of general debility and over
taxed digestive organs. So the beautiful
queens term of imperial state was cut
short after a ten years reign, and the
poor thing is so unhappy because she is
not first and foremost in all ceremonials,
that she is losing her mind.
It Is a dear price to pay for great
ness, and ambitions rewards are always
dearly purchased when the things of this
world are so unsatisfying in the end.
Thus 1t was with poor Carlotta, who
hoped to see her husband Maximian, OF
Austria, established as emperor in Mex
leo! --..
It was supposed that France could
place an emperor in the ancient courts
of the Montezumas and hardly consider
it a hearty task, but everything failed.
Macmillan was shot like a common
traitor and poor Carlotta is still lingering
in a mad house unless the notice of her
death has escaped me within the last
few months. They can't bear to give up
this vain glory. or give place to their
successors in office!
Queen Alexandra was poor Danish
princess, when she married Edward the
Prince of Wales, and she has had a
splendid time in England, with the pomp
and state that goes with palaces and
crown jewels.
And she was extremely lucky to keep
the crown in her own family-for her
own son succeeded his father, to the
throne of Great Britain and the Empire

baby could not keep his head still for he
was rubbing and twisting all the time.
I used the Cuticura Remedies about
three times the first day and began to
notice the good it was doing, for he
beganto get rest from rubbing his neck.
So / used three cakes Of Cuticura
Soap and two boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
