Then I'm in love past mortal cure,
In short I've met another fate ;
But long do not hesitate?
I furbish up may lover's art
And on this question ruminate
How shall I win the maiden's heart ?
I know love's path is inscure,
And nought its rigors can abate,
But I in sooth could ne'er eudure
To travel at an ambling gait ;
I do my utmost early, late,
To make her fancy take my part,
And on this question meditate
' How shall I win the maiden's heart?
I send her roses fragrant, pure,
And. loving songs I perpetrate ;.
I sit upon her furniture'

In hope that'slghs may indicate
That in her breast a shaft doth smart,
And give me cause to jubilate
How shall I win the maiden's heart ?

Mr. Editor You will have to ex
cuse me this week for I am sick. A
lady friend of mine told me about a
lady friend of her's who was sufferings
one night from a wretched headache.
She was a very devoted woman and
always knelt beside her bed and said
considerable silent prayers before re
tiring, but on this occasion she stood
up and said: "Good Lord you know
how sick I am; please excuse me to
night" and to bed she went.
Please excuse jne Mr. Editor from.
writing my weeicly letter lor 1 am
sick and the doctor says I. musent
write nor think for a lew days, for I
am threatened with softening of the
brain and I musent do any thing to-
strain my mind, boltenmg 01 the
brain has been my apprehension lor
a year or two. It is akin to dotage,
and is almost as bad for an old man
as Hardening 01 tne neart is ior a
young' one. So I will have to sus
pend until the doctor gets through
with me and matches me up. There
is only one-half ol my head aftected
now' and one eye.' At first I suffered
a pain in front, but now it has .crept
over to the cerebellum as he calls it,
and I can't stoop down nor get up
suddenly . without a flash of pain
shooting all over my cranitunv It
comes and it goes like those electric
hshts in the streets of Atlanta. So
I thought that I would write you
with the other side of my head and
ask to be excused for I don'tlike to
strain my mind. I have been in bed a
day taking medicine every hour and
receiving calls and sympathy, and
ruminating on easy, things, but have
to be careful about straining my mind.
The doctor says that I must be calm
and serene. He asked me what I
had been reading lately and I told
him that I had been trying to keep
up with the Briggs trial. I saw him
knit his eyebrows, for he is a Baptist,
and he said that the abstruse ' meta
phisics ot that discussion was enough
to run any ordinary man distracted.
I told him as how belore the Briggs
case was settled the Smith case came
on as a side show and how Ohio
turned Smith out and New York let
Briggs stay in and there was nothing
settled in a national way about iner
rancy and plenary inspiration, and I
had been straining' my mind to find
out - what I must think or believe
about the business.
''Stop it," said the doctor, ; "quit
thinking you willnnd out all about
it in a few yftars yes in a few years
if you don't quit straining your mind.
Let these abstruse,- scientific, oyer-
edifcated gentlemen alone. As the
Lord said to Job "Who are they
that darken counsel by words with
knowledge?. Where wast thou when
I laid the foundation of the earth and
where were the loundations fastened
and where was the corner stone laid
when the morning stars sang together
and the sons of God shouted fcr
Ml
Then I told the doctor about how
I had been reading up on the. tariff
and the McKinley bill arid was trying
to make up my -mind from a non
partisan standpoint and I was very
much perplexed and has strained my
mind to determine which was the
right thing to do, for if we reduced
the tariff I didn't see how we could
get enough revenue to run the gov
ernment, unless we passed an income
tax and cut down the pensions and I
didn't believe the democrats would
dare do either. This thing had
sorler addled my mind and right on
top of it I had a tackle with he silver bill
and free coinage and had read what
Mr. Fairchild said about it. He is. a
very smart man. He said that $3,
740,000 of treasury notes paid for 4,
500,000 ounces of silver under the
Sherman act at 43 cents and the great
danger of business; was colossal pur
chases and gave an immediate revival.
Just so. I think I almost understand
that, but it has strained my mind.
Then I read what Mr. St John, the
great New Yoik banker, said which
was the best thing to do was to find
out what the republican leaders want
ed you to do and then not to do it
and how all the eold mines were
producing but 33,000,006 a year and
eighteen months ago there were .17,
000,000 ounces of bullion and now
there were but 3,000,000, and the
great country was growing faster and
faster and bigger and bigger, and we
were obliged to have more money
and if kre couldn't get gold we must
have silver and paper' and go ahead
down stream and dump everything
into the boundless sea. I expect it
was good democratic talk, but it
strained my mind.
The doctor looked solemn at me
and sorter pitiful, -' and then I
told him how I was tangled up over
Jay Gould's death and what the edi
tors and the preachers and some of
the women said about him and I was
straining my mind to locate him for
some of these days I expect to go to
that undiscovered country myself,
and how I got some relief when I
read the editoiral in the Review of
Reviews which I appreciate and enjoy
more than any modern literature, for
it is always fair and square and a man
of my caliber can read it and under
stand it without straining 1 his mind.
'Did you locate him ?'!' said he
doctor, "No, said, I." Bui: I located
the property. It is all busy in mov
ing trains and gooas- and people and
operating shops where, there are
thousands of men at work, and his
money is still running the telegraph,
and so far as we are concerned, it
makes no difference whether the
seventy-two millions were controlled
by one man or seventy-two men
with a million apiece. The Lord's
hand is in it all, and believe that Miss
Helen will do some big thing with
her share belore she dies,j and maybe'
Georgia will too. There are trou
bles nearer home that worry me more
than Jay Gould.' There is trouble
at Macon in the college and one of
my best friends is in it, and there is
trouble right here at home, and two
preachers are in it, and it has stirred
up the town and you can hear much
and find out but little, and Sam Jones
is going to move away, and my
water pipes have bursted and there
is a curtain down and no poybutune,
and the tax man came to see me yes
terday and took the last dollar I had'
in the world to help pay the courts
expenses and to educate the ever'
lasting negrb ; and weve been at it
for twenty-five years, and the more
we do it the more they 1 go to the
chaingang, lor there are over 2,000
there now and only 195 White per
sons, and I am tired of the experi
ment, for it is a failure and a burden
upon us and is no good for them that
I can see. This is the biggiest tax
I evp r paid and I haf e less property
to pay on than I hajye had for five
years, and here is the town tax that
is on the same line, and we are tired
of educating other children, especially
the black ones, and there is too much
patriotism in our government, both
state and national, and I know rich
men who are drawing pensions from
the State and poori men who fought
just as long and jus as hard who get
nothing, and tne principal is all wrong,
for no soldiers ought to be pensioned
but the needy, and that's my -doctrine.

I went down to Atlanta the other
day to borrow $200 1 0 bridge over the
impecunious chasm and pay these
taxes and a few of oS these darn little
just debts that I owe, and one bnk
said they were moving the cotton and
it took all their money, and another
bank said they onjy discounted local
paper for their depositors, and then
I went to Captain Lowry;at the Tal
ly ho bank and he greeted me with
smiles as he always does, but said
that money was mighty close that
day, but if I would come back the
last cf next week he would see what
he could do. I havent been back I
for I am sick and I thought that the
captain would send it up to me by!
express, but he haseiit. If a man
deposits with an Atlanta bank he can
borrow some of it back occasionally
with a good endorser so George
Adair told me. Tne fact is I suspect
those banks havent got any money
to speak of except the deposits, and.
the State's money and the city money
and they are always quarreling about
1 1 11 1 1 T TM ' 1 . J
wno snail nanaie 11. 1 ney narvesieu
mostly on Steve Ryan's money, and
when a man breaks they hustle round
with alacrity to get a receiver who will
help out their deposits. But it is all
nothing to me so long as I am playing
Lazarus and the dogs are licking my
sores.
"Stop said fhe doctor, "you must
not allow such imaginary troubles to
disturb your mind. You must be
calm and serene and" "But I can't,"
said I, "for I've been dosing with
quinine until I am as nevous as a man
with the tooth ache. I havent got
half sense, now with only half a head
you knowv and when I get plum out
of money I havent hardly any. I
want a bank, a whole bank for about
a week. Tsaw Captain Lowry the
other day driving his tallyho- lour
in hand, and tooting his little horn
and he had Adlia Stevenson and his
beautiful daughters and his retinue
and posse com itatus and I enjoyed it
and wished that I was up there or in
there- and the captain's beaming;
countenance reminded me of the old J
woman who, for the first time in her ;
life," went to a circus, and when the
beautiful horses came prancing in
with their sprangles all shining and I
their riders all dressed up Jike the an i
cient knights, her old man hunched i
her. and said: "bally what do you
think of that?" "John," said she,
hit almost takes my breath. Hit
looks more like the kingdom of heaven
than anything-1 ever expected to see."
Doctor, I want a bank and a tallyho
and a little horn.
"My friend," said the doctor, "you
must divert your mind with pleasures
and thoughts not so formidable.
There's nothing true but heaven and
you must must solmize your disturbed
mind. Pray a little ; yes pray with
out ceasing so the good book says."
TJiat reminds me said I of a little
orphan boy I know whose good old
grandma made him kneel down every
nieht by his bed and say. his silent
prayers, and -they were short, very
short, but these cold nights she lets
him kneel down in front of the fire
with his posterior towards the grate
and he prays and prays and when his
grandma tries to get him up and says
gendy "come nowBobby you have
prayed enough," he sakes his head
and says, "ain't done yet grandma,
ain't near done. I'm just praying for
everybody,"
" A man can pray mighty easy and
mighty sweet if every thing is com
fortable, can't he ? And that reminds
me of our little grand-child, who was
looking at the picturee in the Bazar
paper, and she came across a picture
of a woman dressed like a decoy duck
or something pretty low down and
she said rrMama here's a woman
fixing to take a bath : but don't see the
tub." She got several dolls Christ
mas and gave them all names and
when her grandma asked her what
she had named her pretty tin horse
she studied awhile and said I believe
I'll name him the "holly ghost." She
goes to Sunday school, she does.
These little things don't strain my
mind, doctor. They anecdotes
and antidotes. If it wasn't for the in
noeense and hilarity of these children,
I expect I would go crazy."
But this is a longer excuse than I
intended and is another sign of the
softening of the brain.

There is a man in England whose
special hobby is liquor. His way of
entertaining guests would have done
credit to the mad King of Bavaria.
On one occasion he had a huge basin
constructed in his garden and covered
with a canopy to keep out the rain.
This basin was intended for a punch
bowl, and it was the largest the world
ever saw. In it were mingled four
hogsheads of brandy, eight barrels of
water, 25,000 lemons, twenty gallons
of lime juice, 1,300 pounds of sugar,
300 toasted biscuits, five pounds of
grated nutmeg and a pipe of old
Malaga wine.' There were many
guests present it was a stag party ,
by the way and all are said to have
gone home gloriously drunk.
Conkling had defended a man who
was on trial for arson. He had been
convicted below and on appeal the
conviction was affirmed and Conkling
rendered his bill which was question
ed by the man's friends. Conkling
was rather new at the bar. He called
upon Mr. O'Connor.' He said ; "There
is Johnson, now, whom I defended in
a hard-fought trial and. argued the
case on appeal at the General Term.
To be sure he was convicted and the
conviction was affirmed. But I had
a great deal of trouble, gave my best
services in the matter and I only
charged him $600, and his friends
decline to pay may bill. Don't you
think the charge is reasonable and
fair?" h
Mr. O'Connor turned in his . chair
and said : "Well Conkling, I have no
doubt that you did the best you
could. You had a severe trial. You
exercised your best efforts in the
higher court, and $600 is noa large
bill. But I have no doubt h0 could
have been convicted for a great deal
less money." ' J

CHOLERA AND THE WORLD'S FAIR.
No Danger to Be Apprehended from infec
tion Through Importations.
The proposition that the Chicago expo
6ition may have to be postponed on ac
count of the cholera in Europe is not
justified by what we know of the mode
of Bpread of that disease. There is no
article of exhibit which will be sent from
tiny foreign country to the "World's fair,
whether it be in the departments of
mechanism, art, education or manufac
tures, which is in the least likely to be
contaminated with the cholera bacillus,
or which will involve any more risk to
those receiving, handling or viewing it
than it would in any other year.
Almost the whole danger of bringing
the cholera germ into this country is
connected with the poorer class of -immigrants
and their baggage, and with
imported rags. Of course there are theo
retical possibilities that some workman
affected with smallpox, diphtheria, chol
era, itch or even the oriental plague
may have to ached some article -sent to
the exhibit or some piece of wrapping
paper or of lumber used in packing, just
as there always are, the probable dan
ger in this respect being about the same
as that incurred in handling a new neck
tie or any article of ready made cloth
ing, but to attempt to get up a scare on
such a basis is ' a very shortsighted and
foolish policy.
It is quite probable that western Eu
rope will have more or less trouble with
cholera for several months and perhaps
for a year to come, and it is quite possi-.
ble we may say that it is an even
chance---that we shall have some local
outbreaks of the disease to deal with
ourselves within a short time, bu these
probabilities do not make it necessary or
expedient to interfere with the importa
tion of either raw material or manufac
tured goods, whether these be intended
for consumption or exhibit with the ex
ception of rags, and even these, so far as
cholera is concerned, are easily disin
fected. Let Chicago look to her water supply
and to the possibility of a few cholera
cases in her poorer quarters among
newly arrived immigrants, coming per
haps by way of Canada, and let the
American government devote its atten
tion to our quarantine'systems and leave
the "World's fair to take care of itself.

The Evils of Immigration.
He is thin, fabulously pale and or
dinarily decked with bizarre rings,
watch charms and scarf pins. His clothes
are symphonies. He blends in them
various shades of blue, green and violet.
Sometimes he appears in black, with an
enormous diamond pin, and then he re
sembles Philip II. Sunday while the
shouts of the children in the nursery
filled the apartment with gayety he sat
at the piano, and in a voice which was
delicious and dying pronounced this
title, "The Pain of Living."
Then he played a piece wherein, as on
certain fans of Japan, airy nothings had
an intense and funereal delicacy. There
were vague and learned discords; flying,
muffled sounds; motives sketched and at
once quitted; the beat of a disappearing
bird's wing, and complaints and despair
ing exclamations so soft and sweet that
they had not strength enough to be
heard. Happily in five minutes he had
finished, for everybody would have com
mitted suicide at the sixth minute.
"Poor fellow!" said a sympathetic old
lady. "I should think that the commis
sioner of immigration would guard

Teaching an Actress a Lesson. ,
"Speaking of playing jokes on the 'per
f esh,' " said Harry Jlillish at the Lar
clede, "reminds me of an experience I
once had with Maggie Mitchell. ; About
twelve years ago I was playing light
comedy in her company and had to
make love to her. Maggie was very fond
of onions, and usually ate them for sup
per. JNow 11 tnere is anytmng 1 ao ae
test it is the smell of an onion. I resolved
to be revenged, and one evening when
we were to present a play in which there
was a particularly lengthy yum yum
scene I drank a couple of glasses of beer
and ate a liberali slice of limburger.
When the scene came on Maggie nearly
fainted. At the end of the act she sent
for me and said, 'Mr. Millish, what is
the matter with your breath? I replied
that I had been taking an onion antidote.
Well,' said she slowly, 'I don't think a
second dose will be necessary,' And it
wasn't." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Is There a "Great "Wall" in China?
Abbe Larrien has published a book to
prove that the "great wall of China" is
only a gigantic myth. Larrien claims
to have lived for years under what would
have been the shadow of the "great
wall" had such a structure really exist
ed, but that during that time he never
as much as heard the myth alluded to.
'This huge. Chinese wall," he says, "is
eimply a huge Chinese lie."
All the standard and trustworthy his
tories of the Celestial Empire, as well as
those on the orient in general, refute the
testimony of this glib tongued abbe.
The editor of that great English newrs
paper, the London Standard, says, "I
Would like to inform friend Larrien that
I have sat upon the great wall, and that
I now have a photograph of it which was
taken by one of our company.' St.

A Scheme That Failed. - '
Grogshops have become bo numerous
all over town that many of their bosses
are at their wits' ends t6 make both ends
meet... .Several v have adopted unique
methods to attract thirsty customers,
and of two that started out on new lines
one failed, owing to its owner's lack of
capacity, and the other proved so suc
cessful that owners of neighboring dram
shops are green with jealousy. The suc
cessful shop is in Park row but a short
step from the bridge, and t no -time,
night or day, Sunday or week day, is it
not jammed with a rumsodden rabble.
There one may buy more than a quart
of beer for a nickle. Of course it is
poor stuff, but the ragged, filthy horde
of bums who congregate there care
more for quantity than quality. It is
served in glasses the like of which

Put a Deggar on Horseback.
There is something very funny in the
appearance in Hyde park of 'representa
tives of the "Submersed Tenth" as critics;
of General Booth. These gentlemen
had been occupants of the Salvation
shelters and found many things which
were not quite up to the standard of
tramps. The towel3 and the soap and
the sleeping .accommodation came in for
swleping condemnation, and one of the
"Tenth" stated his grievance in these
terms: .
"At C o'clock the next morning' a bell
rang, or sometimes a police whistle was
blown, which was not a very pleasant
-so-and to men who had been doing penal
servitude. " If they 'did not get up at
once they were turned out, and if feel
ing unwell or from any ofrher cause
they lay down,- to sleep again, a police
man was called in and they were ejected.
He did not call that charity." ,
It is very hard, no doubt, that persons
who have done their time in one of. her
majesty's convict establishments should
not, Vhen they regain their liberty, be
taken by the Salvation - Army and cod
dled in luxury. Bat men who can ha
rangue the multitude and who can calcu
late, as one' bragged yesterday he had

A young woman . whose naturally
vivacious disposition is somewhat re
strained by tlia pious influence of a de
vout Roman Catholic mother took ad
vantage of -the absence .of her mother
from the city to make up a small theater
party last Saturday afternoon. A rollick
ing extravaganza with a showy ballet
was the entertainment for which the
girls purchased tickets. The dutiful
daughter's conscience pricked a trifle,
however, just as she was about to leave
her home to join her friends. She weli
knew that her mother would not approve
of the kind of performance she was go
ing to see. A sudden inspiration im
pelled her to compromise wit h her con
science, which for th time being Was
her. mother's representative. She went
to her mother's favorite bookcase and
took thefrenj. "Little Live3 of Great
Saints," which, she carried, with her to
.the theater and undertook to read be
tween the acts. New Y ork Times.

ty dollars and a watch. After this they
marched him through the woods to a
creek two miles distant. ! They told him

body in the water, as dead men tell no
tales. Ee asked time to pray, wjhich was
given Lim, and while he laid siege to tho
throne of grace his captors turned their
attention to hi3 quart of whisky.
In a few minutes the liquor, aroused
the inquisitive nature of tho negroes,
and they began questioning Rogers,
who begged piteouslj' to be released,
swearing to never tell anything if they
would release him. Ho finally convinced
them that he was a stranger in the coun
try, and this induced them to spare hum
