Deal gently with a loving heart,
Let no rough touch be given;
Hemciiiber that its minor chords
Will send their notes to Heaven.
Remember that a loving heart
Can soon be sadly broken
By cold neglect and cruel deeds
And bitter words oil spoken.
Deal gently with a loving heart;
There comes not from above
A purer, richer, nobler strain
Thau the melody of Love.
Then gently touch its every note
With Love's own sweet caress,
And music low aud soft and pare
Will ever come to bless.
Deal gently with a loviug heart
Whose thoughts arc only thine,
And o'er your path throughout life's way
The starol Love will shine.
Let no cold thoughts or cruel vows
Hy loving hearts be spoken;
Kcmcmber that a fond true heart
Can be by coldness broken.
Oh! take a fond truo loving heart
As a treasure rich and rare,
And consecrate it with thy love
Upon the wings of prayer.
Ask God who reigns and gorernsall
From His bright home above,
To bless two hearts, two loyal hearts,
With His most holy love.

"The Coloocl" recently told
story to a crowd of iutcrcstiDg
lie said:
"I was going by rail from Goldsboro to
Wilmington, N. C. It was on a beauti
ful moonlight night, and I happened to
k out of the window by my sent just
as something white came out of the
woods. It followed right along by the
side of the train, and I called the ntten.
turn of the other passengers to it. Eveiy
ouc saw it just as plainly as I did, so it
could not have been an hul'ucinatioD.
'The specter lept pace with the train,
and, wonderful to relate, would some
times run a little ahead, cross the track
in front oftho engine, and run along the
other tide. Then it would disappear al.
together for a while, but to return again
after a few minutes."
"Was it the spirit of some poor wretch
who had lost his life on the railroad?"
asked a young man.
"No, sir," replied the colonel. It was
nothing but the white sandy road in the
woods."
And then the crowd dispersed.

LOCKED OUT.
Guests at tho Kennedy House were in
good humor all of yesterday over an oe-
urrencc which had transpired the night
before. Wednesday there arrived from
Florida a bridal couple who had come
direct to Chattanooga imoiediatcly fol.
owing tho ceremony. Bride anil groom
gave every evidence of refinement, and
uter developments proved their good
breeding and modesty was most marked.
The gentleman is a prosperous merchant
tho land of flowers, and his bride
one of the brightest and most winsome
buds in the garden of female loveliness.
The couple reached the hotel late in
the evening and were immediately usher
ed into the briJal room of the hostelry.
Shortly following tho disposition of the
gage the groom reappeared in the
office of the hotel, where only tho night
clerk remained. That courteous official,
noting the nervousness of the stranger,
made bold to inquire if he could provide
toward his comfort. The young man's
blush was akin to scarlet when he thank
ed the clerk and confessed ho merely
sought tho office while his wife retired,
and would himself retire a littlo later.
Some time elped, when the clerk sug
gested that tho stranger appeared sleepy
and possibly the bride was exercised over
long absence. Again the Floridian's
modesty painted his face a bright red as
he arose and said he belie.ej he would
turn in." In fivo minutes ho was again
back in the office.
"Mr. Clerk," ho said, "I must ask your
advice. Tho modesty of both my wife
and myself is developed to an cxtraordi
nary extent. While she was making her
toilet for the night I withdrew. It seems
she feared intrusion, and to guard against
it locked the door. She has evidently
len asleep, for I cannot awaken her.
What shall I do?" Tho clerk who is a
man advanced in years, is of blunt archi
tecture, and readily responded: "Possibly
your knock was of the timid character.
Try it again, and with inc.ro demonstration."
The groom acted under instructions,
but cither the deep sleep of the bride or
extraordinary modesty denied tho hus
band's ndtnitance. The clerk retired
from the hallway to conceal his mirth,
and the groom, thinking he was not de
tected, lost heart aod quietly tipped down
the ball, took a seat upon the back Hsir
landing, and remained there thoughout
the entire night.
Yesterday morning lie made Lis toilet
in the wash room joined the bride at the
breakfast table, and, when hunger had
been appeased, settled his bill, und the
couple look the first train foi out of town.

IIARItTO CONQlOlt.
Sam Jones preached lojently to the
darkies at Dyersburg, Ky. After the ser
mon, a good old sister onuie to him and
said: Brother Jones, God bless yon; you
is the preacher tor me; I understand
every word you say. You preaches just
like a nigger; you has a while skin, but
thank God, you has a black heart." Al
another service for the colored people the
preacher who prayed the opening prayir
the Lord to "bless Brother Jones, and
help him to preach; and, 0 Loid, when
he standi before thee a wretch undone,
have mercy upon him, and take his feet
out of the miry clay, and plaoi) them on
tbe rock, where hope nor mercy oan never
reach him."

There's the girl who's stuck on fencing
und tho girl who's just commencing
to be somewhat interested in the
art of self defence;
There's the girl who's good at riding,
and the girl who takes to striding
over leagues of dale and mountain
wilh energy intense;
There's the girl who worships rowing,
and the one who's fond of showing
a markmanship astounding iu a per
son of her sex;
There's the girl who's' always ready, wi.h
a nerve both true aud steady, when
wyfiil dangers threiteu or diffi
culties vex;
But despite the many carriage and the
open scorn of marriage, which the
independent ladies seem to think so
very i.ice,
You may, perhaps, have noted that they
are very seldom quoted, as having
I at completely their inherent fear of
mice.

RATTLESNAKE WEED.
Li Monterey, as well as Santa Clara
oounty, there grows a weed called the
rattlesnake weed. It is so named from
ihe story that when rattlesnakes get to
fighting and bite each other this vced, if
success do n..t go together. A drunken j eaten by them, will prevent death. It
gambler may possibly win high (takes,
but in order to succeed in legitimate
business one must have a clear brain. The
big merchants, financiers and kings of
oomnierco are ut least temperate in drink.
Most of tbcm are total abstainers.
You cannot make a worse mistake than
to say, "I will drink or let it alone, just
as I please." Almost always men starting
io this way finally chooi-e drink. No fact
is better established tbau that alcohol
weakens the will. Let tbe stuff alone if
you want to succeed. Yoice.
f
grows about six inches tall, has a red
stalk and slender leaves. On tho top of
the stalk comes a head of flowers, and the
seeda of these flowers aro said to be very
annoying to one in passing through
tnas of them, as they aro furnished with
sharp barbs, commonly called stickers.
The early settlers, who had herds of sheep
alw iys made their herdemen keep with
them a bottle of strong tea made of rattle
snake weed, and when any. of the sheep
were bitten they were drenched .mb. this
tea, which always saved theui.
