MY LETTER.

A folded square of paper, small and
white,
Which any vagrant wind might steal
away,
And yet it brightens all the long,
dark day,
And shortens all the watches of the
night
Though wide plains intervene, and
waters roll.
Touches of loving thought and hand
remain;
The hours when loneliness becomes
pain
Grow shorter, in this intercourse OF
Denied the clasp of hands, the glance
of eyes,
Set far apart by unkind circum
stance,
This tiny thing times utmost power
defies,
And keeps love warm beneath the
blows of chance.
How sad were partings in the days o.
yore.

number of years. being at the time
of her death, if we mistake not, a
member of the Church of the

A. C. Suddarth, our town pho
tographer, has secured patent
for a new and novel wrench.
It is a very simple one and it can
be adjusted to number ofsize nuts,
simply by revolving the jaws of the
wrench, and is so shaped that one
can get at a nut in the most dlttl-
cult parts of machinery. From it's
simplicity it should find a ready
market. He also has several pat
ents pending in the patent office.
1t is only recently Mr.. Suddarth
has turned his ventive mind to
things of this nature, and allowing
| his ideas and models be examined
by U. S. patent officials as to its
patentabilty. He has con-
structed several useful things in
his photograph gallery which he
claims he has never seen any thing
as simple in operation, do thribble
more work and can print from neg
atives readily at night as day with
this modern device. No doubt but
he could find good sale for it il
brought to the attention OF other
photographers. This little con-
trivance like many other inventions
might make the inventor big money
some of these days. after lying
dormant as to the business
world for a number of years. The
merits of an article is oten treated
with indifference, until the othel
