And milkmaids balf-devine; You lie down to your shady slumbers, You wake-with a bug In your ear, And the maid who walks in the morning Is shod like a mountalner. True lovo is at home on a carpet And mightily love's his esse; True love has an eye for a dinner, And starves 'neath shady trees His wing Is the fan of a lady, His foot's an Invisible tiling, His dart is tipped with a jewel And shot from a silver string. Old Song. In the lines qnoted above, which are from the pen of P. Willis, we may note, not only -a wholesome reaction from the love-sick ballads and maw kishly sentimentay love lyrics so fash ionable st that time, but we. get a nrotihetlc hint of our own time. We can almost believe that the Sage 'it Idlewild was in collui' n with thu Wizard of Menlo Park, and has a MRS, HUNTER G. SMITH, OF FAYETrTEVlMjB. Mrs. Smith is President of the J. E. 'Stuart Chapter, Daughters of the Con federacy and Is Lender in Social Circles. prophetic phonograph attachment, which enabled him to sing without a false or discordant note, the money muffled lays of future days. When we think of It aerlou'jly. It Joes soon a pity that love and marriage these later days should navi come to be such a matter of outwir.i circum stance and material conditions, though it Is possible that the sun of human happiness is groatcr to-day than at any previous time In the world's history. Cjrtalr.ly, if -what we call happiness ' continent .cn creature comforts and u.utiTlal pros perity, the aggregate of such bliss must far outstrip tie worldas output In any by-gone ago. But our Ideas concerning quantl'y and quality have bicome so blurred that our estimates ure apt to Incline more to the ma terialism of the fornv-r than to iho finer, more elusive ton.Mt of ths iht 'er. If "true love In ut home on a i-oipet and mightily lovos his ease." then can be no doubt a'oout it. Dan Cupid is having a lot bettor lime now thai; he had In id'Uo Arcadian times, or even in thoss more rent days, when there were no such things as bridal presents. "If his d-irt is uri-cd with a Jewel and shot from a silver string," his aim is all the more un erring and the target nil the irt're worth the hlttlntr. And so tho cut of . life Is kept all .m and oiilse-b-ots iui(kened. What rnittJrs It how, Juit so the years draw not nigh wh.n tiu.u shal. siiy, "I have n.i pleasure in thpn:." And this week, what would the chronicler of social events do if there were no such things us women's clubs to meet and to be recorded? Without the clubs, social life In our midst this week would have been an aching vac uity, so immersed and absorbed has everyone been in the delightful tor ments of Christmas shopping. Tho Monday Afternoon Book Club was very charmingly entertained at Its stated meeting by Mrs. H. T. Uahnson. The salient thought of the programme for the afternoon's work was "Westward, Ho!" and was admir ably brought out in the papers read. that of Mrs. Erastus Beverly Jones dealing with the Louisiana Purchase, and that of Mrs. J. M. Rogers treat ing of the explorations of 'Clarke In tho great Northwest. The reading by Mrs. D. Clay Lilly of the "Massacre of Wyoming" was charming and greatly enjoyed. The elegant refresh ments were eminently in keeping with the high character of the litrary pro gramme. The Woman's Reading Club met Monday afternoon with Miss Fills Stockton, Main - street, Salem. The reading on this occasion was from Stoddard's Lectures on Switzerland, and was effectively rendered by Mrs. Walter Spaugh. Miss Lucie Vance read a very interesting paper concern ing the "Castle of Chillon," and Miss Etta Shaffner's photographs of Swiss scenery and Interesting localities con tributed no little to the pleasure and profit of the large membership pres ent. After the delicious refreshments, the club adjourned to meet no more till after the holidays, when on the 9th of January, 190S. It will be enter tained by Mrs. E.

The Moravian church was filled to overflowing on thla occasion, and many beautiful tributes of admiration and appreciation were paid this dls tlngulshed son of the Old North Stat. Boner's poetry Is characterised throughout by Intense love of his na tive soil, and his sweetest songs are those that paint not In a vagus and callow, manner, but vividly, tenderly and reverently, with intense' local col or, the scenes and characteristics os his dearly loved State. "Boner's Lyrics" deserve the high place they hold In the domain of true and bwtu tiful poetry. The ladles of the First Baptist church gave Thursday afternoon and evening a bazaar, which in all Us arrangements and appointments seem ed much more like a charming social function than a meeting In the mar-kte-place for gathering shekels. The lovely home of Mrs. F. J. Supfert was the scene of this agreeable ba xaar, and the hospitalities were dis pensed In the most engaging manner. From the refreshments and sale of the beautiful fancy articles quite a handsome sum was realised. Mrs W. T.

The party met at Eldon Hall, the beautiful home of Mrs. R. W. Winston, where they were all introduced to the guide by Judge Winston In a very short, but charming, speech. Snow lay thick and heavy upon the earth, but as soon as thought could wed itself with speech. "the tourists were carried away to a summer land the land of Virgil and Horace, of Petrarch and Dante. The Journey was the same as that one taken on blclcyes by Dr. Smith ana his two brothers, one summer anoth er "three men on wheels." Milan was touch on Milan, with its great athedral, adorned with 2,000 marble statues, "so pure, so stainless In their spotless white, that one might believe that a host of angels had descended tnd alighted theer," So vivid was the guide's description of ths sculp ture, that one could slmost see the martyred St. Bartholomew, who was flayed alive, carrying his own skin on his shoulder .and even the delicate nd wonderful tracery of the network of veins on his quivering body. But how could one tarry long at Milan, mwever Interesting, when the Eter- nul City was only seven hours' dis tant? Rome, not the great bloody battlefield of history, but the law giver and clzlllzer of the world". The grandest temple ever built for the worship of God was visited, St. Peter's, with Its labyrinth of count less oratories, chapels, shrines and confessionals. Here the party caught snatches of the Ave Marias and Pater Nosters chanted by zealous worship pers, and gazed on tne marvelous works of art The ascent of the dome was made, and Its little village vis ited. "Here," said Mr. smith, "a man might be born, might die, and be buried without ever having to come down." The Coliseum, the scene of many a by-gone atrocity, was next in line. So realistic was ths speaker's word painting that one could almost see again the crowded ampihtheatre. the Roman Emperor seated nign up, surrounded by his glittering luxury loving company, and the tall, lean. Caasius-IIke form of St. Ignatius. leaping down from seat to seat, pro testinar to the Emperor in the name of the high God, against the unparal lelled cruelties practiced in the arena. Then the fallen grandeur of the Fo rum, now the Campo Vecchio was pictured. But. Instead of the tall. scattered disintegrating columns ru ins? forlornly, and broken and crum bling statuary strewing the grounds, one saw the structure In all Its for mer splendor and heard the fierce Philippics of Cicero, his Impassioned orations against Catiline; one saw the Senate In all Its dlglnty and heard the cry of Virginia, as her father struck her death-blow. Venice the eBautiful followed In quick succession. Here the party en tered the gondolas and took a ride on the Canalogzl, or Broadway of Ven ice, part of the famous Bridge or Sighs, with its gorgeous palace on the one slde( and the prison on ths other, and on to the great , Cathedral of San Marco, the rather! ng place or all Venice, where rich and poor, high and low, rub against each other in a com mon cause. The next stopping piace was Pompeii. Here were seen the fig ures of the inhabitants as they died, neelnir from the wrath of Vesuvius. The old grandfather leading his littls grandchild, the woman with her baby, the stalwart slave cultcblng at his money-belt, the priest In the midst of the interrupted and unnntsnea mar riage ceremony all cut dow ntraglc ally In the midst of a happy life. The household furniture and utensils, the baths and many other modern con veniences mutely tell the twentieth century that it is not so areaaruny smart and Inventive as it ininga 11 is that really It Is eighteen hundred years behind the times. After a nner -peep into mo crater of Vesuvius. . from which they shud derlngly retreated, the tourists took the train for Genoa. ,uenoaT joium bus America!

Turner was touching off w 't his landscape paintings, a lady ob.-eiving the pic ture said: ''Mr. Turner, 1 can not see In nature the colors you sre using In your picture." "Don't you -wish you could?" replied the genius. No paint ing, however, nearly perfect, can equal the original, but the more closely an artist Imitates nature the better his work will appear. . If every separate color and tint be considered Just as they are presented to the natural vis ion, many difficulties will arise In at tempting the reproduction of a scene. In the first place, the picture, if a land scape, must necessarily be much small er than the view appears, so that in the imagination the angle of vision can be proportionately lengthened, In volving a corresponding Idea of dis tance. The smaller the picture, the less distinct the colors should be, since a greater length of atmosphere interven ing with Us natural blue and gray. tends to obscure the view, then the outlines are not so plstnly marked and one color almost blends with another. The time usually chosen for copying a landscape ts the early dawn or twi light after sunset, no colors having yet been devised that will make a pleasing Impression on the mind of a gay scene, bathed in noonday sun shine; and autumn and. winter present tints more easily Imitated than spring and summer. To give life to the pic ture requires a talent which Is one of the rarest of nature's best gifts. Many persons can see the defects in a pic ture, but few Indeed would be able to remedy them. The artist lives In an Ideal world, and transforms at ones ths real Into the Imaginary. There are certain combinations of colors which the untrained eye can never discern, capable of producing natural effects. The talented painter sees bis picture before the brush touches the canvas, and selects combinations of colors to deceive the eye." for deception is the Aim of every artist. It is iot a very difficult matter to copy from the best cictures art has devised, but it re quires talent to be able1 to reproduce them from nature in colors tnai wm give. the-best effect.
