Then these children wanted to know whatman I had rather if X had to be somebody else, id that put me to thinking. Of course I had to give it up, for while there are many men whom I believe to be better and smarter and more useful and w hose prospects of heaven ly rewards are far ahead of mine, yet I don't know it. A long time ago when Judge Un derwood wa? in his prime and aspired to be governor, and was in evt ry way worthy of it, he said to me: 'Major, I believe there are a great many men who would make a good gov ernor, butl don't know it. Now as I know that I would, it be-, comes me as a patriot to seek the office.' And so I didn't know who to swap myself for. One thing is nests and I certain, 1 would not swap my- r. The ele- self for any politician, or law down or had I yer, or millionaire, for they all have enemies, and I don't want any. I might make a, trade with Doctor Eattey or Doctor Cal houn, or some great physician who has brojsrht relief to suf fering humanity. I could name some preachers to whom I'd give' bcol, and I know 'some teachers whose long life of use fulness, would tempt me sorely. I met one the other day in Ox ford, Alabama, whose unpre tending labors foi twenty live years has turned out upon the world more noble men and wo men than auy one man I know the famous watering place of the rich and fasmonable By her neighbors she was itnowu as "the farmer's pretty daaghter."

In cbe conversation that followed, the wit, beauty and sparkle of the pretty I country girl were a revelation. It was an agreeable interruption to the monotony of their fashionable lives. Alter this interview, Mrs. Van Brunt was a irequent caller at Little Cottage, aud as otten ac companied, by her stalwart heir, who never failed to iusist on seeiDg "the young lady who prepared such delicious berries and milk." On one of these occasions, Mrs. Van Brunt, who had become very fond of the -.armer's daughter, , ask ed her if she would not like to go abroad, aud be her guest for a couple of months. Of course, in any ambitious girl's mind there oould 5e but one answer, and after consulting with her parents, she pronounced an unmistakable yes All the arrangements being made, the trio, mother, son and rustic belle started on the trip. From the veiy first, there was a flavor of love in the atmosphere Kate suffered most;. at least ap peared to, for she knew "luere was millions iu it." To the young fellow. who was somewhat tired of ordi nary flirtations with the city girls, it w as an agreeable epj?ode in his usually sluggish life. For awhile the old lady was blind. ' She had set ber heart on a high matri monial alliance in another quarter, and did not dream of danger as an outcome of the generous friendship she had shown the girl. Every day, however, strengthened the inti luacv of t he young couple and com- plicate'd the meshes of the web that Cupid was weaving. They became ilmojT, iiiseparaole. traveling acr quaiutancs looked upon them as betrothed, and finally the son frankly told his mother that he bad made up hii mind to get married. The news came like a thunder clap out of a clear skv, and the sform that folio - en shook up the old aristocrat to such a degree that he threatened to disinherit him.

B"t yon, ye pining, moping, lolling, screwed up, wap-waisteil, putty-faced, consumptive, mortgaged, music- iiiurdering, novel-devouring daugh ters of fashion and idleness, you are no more fit for matrimony than a nul'et is to look after a tauii'y ol fourteen chickens. The truth is, my dear girls, you want nioie liber ty and less fashionable restraints, more kitchen and less par or, more leg exercise aud less sofa, more onddiug . nd les piano, more frankness and less mock modesty, more breakfast and less bustle.

Dayton Democrat. The people of Kinston will vote upon the .Local Option question in June. The Free Press urges, In a well written, earnest editorial, the preserva tion of peace and good will be tween the friends and oppo nents of the measure. The town was under the Local Option law for tweloe months and there fore a great many people there who are in favor of Local Op tion. The Free Press truly says it is unfortunate that the ques tion should be agitated this year. Lenoir is a close county nolitically and anything that will divide white men is calcu lated to have a bad effect upon the Democratic party. We hope the people of Kinston will take the advice given by the Free Press. The Lord Doss ITot Approve.
