Every fast and 'leather that a woman could frossioly want at any time. A. L. STAINBAOK, Weldon. N. C. : I- I James and Mary Maxwell of Cale donia, N. Y., have passed the place where their marriage seems maticr-nf-fai'l. Indeed, now that they are in the seventieth year of their wedded life their love of sev ty years seems to them as wonder ful as it did at first. To us of 1910 it is marvelous. One woman one man for sixty-nine years ! They sit together in the parlor, si.le by side, and tell about it. Her eyes are bright and blue, her hair is white. Her eyes are dark and a little heavy, and his hair is still well sprinkled with black. His tricks of facial expres sion and speech are not hers. She never did try to be like a man. No suffragette for her. You make her frown by mentioning it. He is ninety-lour years old; she is ninety. They were married April 29th, 1841. ' "You remember when you pro posed?" you ask the man. He doesn't seem old; he drives to town alone, every day. "No," he says mischievously. "Father !" comes chidingly from her, as she looks at the corn puny, with smile-covered face. He does remember," she explains. "It was in June, 1 839-one even ing at the fence." King Fdward was a baby then. Theodore Roosevelt had not been born. How many millions have lived and loved and wedded and borne children and seen them be come men and women and then passed out into eternity, their life work done, since that soft June evening in the Tenessee Valley? Seventy Junes have followed, and ! yet you hear these two tell with j their own lips of that star-blessed evening and see them sitting be fore you, side by side, smiling with lurtpiness because, so long ago, she said "yes."

Cele- In bridle-path days, when steam was unknown, A horseman rode into a forest alone. Through the wonderful Land of the Sky rode he, From North Carolina to Tennessee. He bestrode a strong horse, and he went withal Veil armed with pistols and powder and ball, For bloody highwaymen were none loo few In the laurel dells of the mountains blue. Through the gloom of the forest this traveler rode Eaeh day, from the dawn till the sunset glowed, When, seeking for rest from his journey sore, He drank from the gourd at some cabin door. Again he would travel far into the night, In vain keeping watch for some settler's light, i And doubly alert, though weary and cold, , For he rode with his saddle-bags full of gold. i And day after day his journey he kept, j And night after night he uneasily slept, For his treasure was great, and the charge that lay Upon him he honored in ancient way The charge he honored, though not from a sense Of punishment or of recompense By One who watches, for heaven and hell Were myths to this honest Infidel. , It was autumn. Who knows what a splendid domain is j The realm of the Blue Ridge and great Alleghanies I How wildly romantic what lights and what shades i Play over the scene how the green summer fades ' j Like a veil blown aside to reveal magic things Unspeakably grand how the waterfall sings To the cliff, and the cliff to the far sky of blue He may know what enchantment this horseman rode through. In the morning the valleys were lakelets of mist; The tree lops were isles in a hae amethyst; At noon the bright woodpecker shot like a flash To the green of the pine from the crimson red ash; In the afternoon sunshine the bronze lizard played On the vine of the moonseed; the bear unafraid Loped over the trail; and as evening drew nigh The horseman heard often the panther's sharp cry. One evening at sunset, just when the last gleam Was gilding the mountain tops, at a swift stream His horse with an eagerly impatient lip Was flirting the brink, when all suddenly-zip ! A bullet half parted the rein. At a leap The streamlet was cleared, for the spur was sunk deep. And fast over pebbles that clattering rolled The horseman went flying for life with his gold He rode till his beast made a staggering pace, When he paused, with no hope of discerning a place Of refuge no sign of man's home was in sight, And cold grew the north wind ami black grew the night. Then slowly ascended a great gibbous moon Up the east, like a luminous wind-blown balloon, Which was caught in an ocean of cloUd, and whose glow Was downed in the deepening turbulent flow. He hopelessly peered in the fathomless dark Below him. His eyes caught a scintillant spark, And he gazed and it shone, and he gazed and he knew That a cabbin was there; and he gave a halloo, Which was answered in time, but so faintly he feared 'Twas reverberant echo. The horse, surer-eared, Loudly whickered, and soon--through what peril Heaven knows, They stood at the door, where a tail figure rose And returned his salute; but the welcome was rough. 'Twas permission to rest, though, and that was enough. So, by light of a torch the poor beast was made snug. "You are kind, very kind." The reply was a shrug. A grim old colossus, with shadow gigantic That leaped here and there like a great specter frantic, The traveler followed. On entering the cabin He shudderingly thought what a fit place to stab in ! An old hag of ninety was crouched by a fire. Resenting encroachment with evident ire, Till her eyes, with that furtive glint solely a hag's, Grew agleam at the sight of the guest's saddle-bags! The man, with shock hair and piratical beard. Had but one eye a fierce one, that fiendishly leered And that eye seemed to glare with the gleam of the hag's When he covertly glanced at the full saddle-bags. "We was 'bout eatin' supper," the host grumly said, And with this invitation to table he led. A tallow-dip dripping the crone brought and sat With tremulous fingers, and mumbled thereat. "Why this," said the guest, feigning ease, "is good chee?." "Yes, if you can eat 'possum and drink simmon beer," The cyclop replied, as he kicked at a hound One dog of a score that went skulking around. That night, having talked till the lire had burned low, The stranger, all weary, was anxious to go To the bed which the crone in a corner had spread, But he felt of his dubious companions a dread. Many a throat had been slit for a fortune of gold. Should these know what was his, would that giant withhold? He cautiously felt of his weapons, and thought If his life were at stake it should dearly be bought. Deep silence ensued, mid the owl's cry was heard He felt strangely thrilled by the ominous bird. A dog howled. He wondered if ever indeed Wise men had to such simble things given heed. And he doubtless had sat there till morning light shone; But Hie grim giant, speaking in most solemn tone, Said : "Stranger, me'n mother afore gwine to bed Has prar. Will ye jine us?" The stranger's fear fled. He knelt in confusion. When called on to lead, He stammered "too weary, too tired, indeed" And lie secretly smiled at his ludicrous care When he heard that old Methodist wrestling with prayer. He slept e'en to snoring that night, and next day Through the falling leaves peacefully went on his way. But he questioned philosophy vainly to say Why it was he felt safe with a man that would pray.

He was the father of some very celebrated musicians one of them was Levy, the cornet player, who made such a sensation with his cornet and his diamond rings in the promenade concerts at Oovent Garden, under Riveie's direction twenty-live years ago. Old Levy had a very large family ("Paganini rcdivivus" was another of his famous sons), and a story is told that when con ducting the overture to an opera in the Theater Royal a boy jumped up from under the stage and said : "Misther Levy ! Misther Levy ! Your woive has just had a baby!" "The Lord be praised for all His mercies!" said the conduc tor, keeping the baton going. In a few seconds the boy again appeared. "Misther Levy ! Misther Levy!" "Well, boy, is anything wrong?" "Misses Levy hav had another baby, sor." "Thank heaven ! All's well !' And the baton waved with greater vigor, working up the orchestra at a tremendous flourish. Once more he was disturbed by the same messenger. "Misther Levy; Misther Levy!" "Get out, boy ! W hat's the matter now ?" "Beborrah, there's another. As y' call 'em trins !" The conductor rose and putting down his baton, said ; "Gintlemen, it's toime I wint home and put a stop to this' durn thing !" Strand Magazine.

"Amone the gambling stories that the late Pat Sheedy used to j tell in his art shop," said a New York reporter, "was one about a jackpot," says the Detroit Free Press. "A beautiful young bride, the story ran, entered a corner grocery one morning and said : "Have you any jackpots, Mr. Sands?" "No, ma'am,' Sands answered, and he hid fl smile behind his hand. 'I've got teapots and coffee pots, but Jack-pots, I don't keep in stock. " 'Oh, dear !' said the bride. A frown wrinkled her smooth and beautiful brow. 'I'm sorry! You see, Mr. bands, my nusnuno s mother used to cook for him, and nearly every night he talks in his sleep about a jackpot. So I thought I'd get one, for since he mentions it so often he must be used to it. Could you tell me Mr. Sands, what they cook in jackpots?" "Greens, ma'am,' was the quick answer." DAILY THOW1HT.
