None on beef or pork or chickens or oysters or fish or potatoes or turnip greens, think we can dodge the tariff and get along pretty well. Most of us are going to spend all we can make anyhow. And so we are happy it dont matter much about the luxuries. Not long ago I visited the home of a good old man in Ala- -m- l ..111 Datua, ana nis s-rong ueauuy handsome girls j showed me their Handiwork a great pile of woolen couaterpanes woven in beautiful patterns and there was no tariff on them. The old mau and the boys were clad in home iuade jeans and almost everything in the house and out and on the supper table came from their own industry, and the family were happy and content. And this reminds me of an aged patriarch I mot over there who was Jn the . nineties. He came to see me to talk about the old times when he lived in old Gwinnett about fifty years ago, and he - seemed to thiuk I was about his age and Knew everybody that She used to know. His dim arid watery eyes glistened as he inquired about the friends of his youth. "How is your father?" said he. "My father s dead; he died about fourteen years aeo." The old man looked surprised ana dis appointed. "And Nathan L.utch ins, hew is he?" "Dead too," said I, "And Dr.l Kussell and Mattie and John Thompson. 'All dead a long time ago, thir ty years and more," The old man seemed to be in a sad dream of the past as he once more inquired, "Is Billy Nes bet deal too," "Yes,' tsaid I, "And Thomas H.

The Charming Story of Sweet Ivy i Geetas Treads the Flowery Pathway of Learning. Mfc haa been said that there is nothing about which the American will not joke, and it may be affirm ed with equal truth that there is notaing in life too senoas to be ridicnled by the American -news-paper. So when it is not the sleepy policeman, or the mother-in-law, or the tipsy husband who ome8 home late at night, it Is the American farmer who is made the butt of ridicule. One .can- count on the ftneers of one's hand those journ als which discriminate in their col umns between legitimate humor or wit, and that ill-timed levity which makes "fun" at the expense ot higher and better things in our natures. This subject may seem trivial but it is more important than it ap pears at first sight. Not that the ridicule of the press vill injure the farmers of the country, but the constant harping upon the mythi cal ignorauce and tollies of this class has a tendency to place more rigjd barriers netween the city and the country and create caste. a.na if anv one considers this result de sirable, let him tell how -much caste has" helped India in her prog ress. So long as the country villages and the rural districts f Ornish the boy 8 to make the merchants and bankers and railroad magnates of the city, every true American should scorn derision of onr agri cultural population. . One thing is needed in thia coun try and that is an increased ap preciation of the real valne of pa tient, plodding oil.

The ideas rather trooped through, in a pellmell sort of way, but they got thronh jnst as effectually. Now, if Ivy hal been content to let her uinscle remain perfectly still, her face might have giren no wgn of the contnmon witbin; but, with a li)ol had ever before known, tears of p&h presumption, she undertook to shame and indignation and grief. It was true that the thought which Mrs, Simm bad suggested had : ev er crossed her mind before ; yet it is no less true, that, all-unconscious-ly, she had been weaving a golden web.

She was not, by any means, a heroine, and could not put on the impenetrable mask of a woman of the world. I 'Now, dear, don't be so distress ful dear, dou'tl' said Mrs. Simm, soothingly.

She pictured him moving easily and gracefully and naturally among scenes which to her inexperienced eye were' grand and stately; and then, with a sharp pain, sbe felt how constrained and awkward aud unfit for such a life was sbe. Then her thoughts reverted to her pa rents, their unchanging love, their happiness depending on her, theit solicitude and watchfulness, and she felt as if ingratitude were ad ded to ber other sins, that she could have so attached herself to any other. And again came back the bitter, burning agony of shame that she had done the very thing that Mrs. Simm too late had warn ed her not to do; she had been carried away by the kindness and tenderness of ber friend, and, unasked, had laid the wealth of her heart at his reel.
