Slipping; Away.
They are slipping away the swpet,
swift years, i
Like a leaf on a current cast;
With never a break in their rapid flow,
We watch them as one by one they go
Into the beautiful past.
One after another we see them pass
Down the dim lighted stair;
We hoar the sound of their steady
tread, .
In- the steps of centuries long since
dead, " ,
As beautiful and as fair.
There are only a few days .left to "love;
Shall we waste them in the strife ?
Shall we trample under our ruthless
feet
Those- beautiful blossoms rare and
sweet,
By the dusty ways of life ?

I'J.AY IN THE SNOW
It shuns an old man to see much fun
in the beautiful snow! He can't
play in it, nor slide nor walk about
with any security ; but he knows that
he can't help himself, and so must
try to be happy becausethe children
are. What a glorious thing it is to be
oblivious to trouble and apprehension
what reckless jov these children
feel while rolicking in this miracle of
heavenly beauty, while I am here
thinking about the coal and wood
that aie nearly gone and there is no
more in town, and how the cook says
she "reckon she will have to quit for
she cant hardly get up de hill any
more," and how I had to shovel a
path to the coal-house and the cow
lot and dig up some lightwood and
couldent find the ax for a long-time,
for the hired hoy dident come and
he never has any particular place for
anything and the young folks tramp
snow all over the hall and the carpet
and get their -shoes and stockings
wringing wet, and Airs. Arp declares
that every one of-them will be sick.
But it is beautiful that is a fact
when th morning sun dispersed the
lingering clouds and sent his genial
rays all ; overthe .. fields and , lawns
and housetops, I thought it was the
most charming landscape that I had
ever seen. How quickly can dame
nature change our feelings from trloom
and apprehension to joy and gladness.
The peafowls have come down from
their , roo:sts in the trcetops for the
first time in forty-eight hours and the
pidgeons are circiling around and the
little birds have come from their hid
ing places. The sleigh bells are
jingling and the boys are coasting
down the steep hills, and everything
seems happy again.
I reckon now the winter is broken,
and in a few weeks the soring flowers
and the peach trees will be in bloorA.
This is the first real pleasant sun
shiny day since day 'after Christmas.
It has been a hard, long, wintry spell,
and poor folks have suffered, and so
have the laboring men 'who follow
the rail and have to take their places
by day and by night I never hear
the whistle blow nor leel the rumb
ling shock of the loaded trains as in ,
the dead of night they move to and
fro past my house but what I think
of the engineers and the firemen and
the brakemen. Mavbe. when the
"gates are- ajar," they will run trains
in heaven where they will never be
too cold or too hot and no cows on
fhe track and every body have a free
pass over the line.
It is curious how old folks love to
read and ponder the memories of the
past. . 1 wrote a letter about Andrew
JacksOn, and. had many letters re
sponsive to tne subjects-most of
them were from old men who still
ove to dream over the reccollections
of their youth. I had one from a
veteran in Atlanta, who was born in
181 1, and is still hale and hearty and
attends regularly to his merchandise.
When he was a youth the halo of
Jackson's victory was still radiant.
He tells how a famous comedian
name Isarnes sang a song in the
theater in Savannah nearly seventy
years ago. It was called "The
Hunters of Kentucky," and Barnes
wore a coonskin vest and can and
had an old-time rifte and powder
hosn, and one verse of his son? was :
Old Packenham'had made his brags
. 1 hat lie was brave aad lucky;
He'd have our girls and cotton bags,
in spite 01 old Kentucky. .
A letter from a friend, who is
proud of being a tarheel, says that
(general Jackson was born in North
Carolina, just over the line in the
Waxhaw settlement, but that his
mother who was" then a widow, was
over there on a visit.' Her home was
only a few miles away, and was in
bouth Carolina and so both States
claim him. He narrates some un
written history of , the family, and
says that General Jackson's father
died a lew weeks before Andrew was
born, and one cold day when the
funeral had to come off the Waxhaw
settlers' started with the corpse to the
graveyard that was. two or three
miles away. The road was very
rough, the day was cold, the wagon
shackly and ''grog" was plenty, and
when they arrived at the graveyard
and went to the wagon for the corpse
it was not in there. It had spiljed
out on the way, and they had to go
. back after it. The wnter says "these
are facts that have been verified in
Waxhaw settlement." "
You can't tell a man's age exactly
by his Christian nime, but in a great
many cases yes thousands of them
you can tell the period the decade
in which he was born. From 1815
to 1825 were more southern boys
named for Andrew Jackson than for
any other man. My father , was a
merchant for forty years, and the A.
J.'s were numerous upon his books,
and there was no great disparity in
the ages of those who bore them.
For a period of thirty years before
this, the G. W.'s and J. T.'s and J.
M.'s were the popular initials. But
the charm, the halo, of these names
has passed away, and now you will
rind m the lamihes 01 the veterans
many a youth under twenty-five who
feels honored with the name' of Bob
Lee or Joe Johnson or John Gordon.
01 some favorite officer under whom
the father served. This is a good
way to perpetuate noble deeds and
daring, and costs less than monu
ments. The devotion of the old
soldiers to such leaders is very beau
tiful, and reminds me of a veteran I
met in Texas who, dispiiring of any
boy happening in the family where
five girls had come along in a strait,
namedr the little girl baby "Stonewall
Jackson" as a rabbit's foot, he said,
and, sure enough, the next child was'
a boy, and he had to name him Bob
Lee, who was his second choice. "I
never seed old Bob," He said, "but I
foxtrotted after old Stonewall until he
died, and I loved him a leetel the
the best." - 1

A Speller From lliise.
Mr. Allen, of Franklin county, the
champion speller who astonished the
audience and vanquished the entire
line of contestants at the recent -spell-
ing bee" in Raleigh, was in the city
yesterday. Thi re will be at Chicago
during the World's Columbian Expo
sition an international spelling match,
and Mr. Allen will be there to cham
pion the prowess of North Carolina,
and in all human probability will
bring back to the Old North State
the laurels of the great contest. ' ?
If he enters the lists of this great
battle of orthographers it is safe' to
wager that he will come oft conqueror
He is nothing less than a prodigy as
a speller, and has been ever since he
sawed a class over forty the first day
he went to school when a mere lad,
on the word "fustain." He has been
in many a heated spelling contest
since and has coped with many dis
tinguished scions of lexic graphy but
has never been whipped yet.
Mr. Allen says he has a mental
photograph of every word he has
ever seen or heard spelled, and these
mental impressions never become
blurred or uncertain, and if the com
mittee in charge of the Chicago con
test does not get out the limits of
Webster's Unabridged he has no fear
of being tripped. He does not talk
of what he can do, but allyou have
to do is to call out the word you
want spelled -and Mr. Allen will grind
out the letters that spell and tell you
the number of the page in the . bar
gain, if it is to be found within the
covers of "Webster's Blue Back.1'
The faculty amounts to a phenome
nal, if not an occult, power with him.
It is nowise the result of hard appli
cation. If he croes to Chicaeo he will
bring back the trophies of the victor.
Mr. Allen is a decendant of Revolu
tionary parents and had twelve first
cousins killed in the Revolutionary
war. xNews and Observer.

About 8 o'clock last evening a ne

around his neck and hid the lower
portion of his face.. The negro com
plained of having the toothache and
enquired for something to relieve
him. Cootz not Ihavintr anything- of
the kind, he the wanted five cents
worth of snuff.
Mr. Cootz did not have weights
small enough, so be placed a silver
dollar and a half dollar on the scales
and weighed the snuff by them. The
negro placed the package in his
pocket and adled for another five
cents worth. As soon asatwasput
in the scales the negro dashed the
snuff in Mr. Cootz s eyes, grabbed
the dollar and a Half and ran out,
making good his escape.

tried your P. P. P., for disease of the
skin usually known as skin cancer of
thirty years standing, and found
great relief; it purifies the blood and
removes all irritation from the seat of
the disease, and prevents any spread
ing of the sores. I have taken five
or six bottles and feel confident that
another course will effect a cure. It
has also relieved me from indigestion
and stomach trouble. Yours truly,

DR. TALMAGE'S WEAK SPOT.
He Met the Czar Once, and lie Ukes to
Talk About the Russian.
Pushed and jostled along Park row
yesterday, with few to recognizeor salute
him, thero passed a man known tho
world over. -Either
their pictures in the papers do
them injustice or they do injustice to
their pictures, or why is it that bo many
celebrated men can walk the principal
streets of the greatest city on the conti
nent and not bo recognized once in ten
blocks?
The celebrity I refer to waa my old
friend, T. De Witt Talmage. He waa on'
the fringe of a crowd, trying to catch a
glimpse of a gutter merchant who was
selling five cent packs of playing cards,
and he seemed to be as much interested
in the fakir's card tricks as was the
Bmallest office hoy in the crowd.
"Think you can get any pointers here,
doctor, that you can use in your busi
ness?" I said.
"Yes, old friend," he said as he shook
hands with me and we started down Ann
street. "I get pointers everywhere. The
things I seo and the experiences I meet
on tho street are, as texts and illustra
tions of texts, far better than those I
might imagine or that I might create."
I had not seen the reverend doctor
since he returned from Europe. He is
full of Ms trip and talks of little else.
He has Drought back with him. the same
agile jaw, the same acrobatic plastform
gestures and the same rhetorical froth
for which he has so long been noted.
We are ail glad that he did not lose
any of these characteristics, because the
jaw is one that wags to some purpose,
the gestures such as fit the words, and
the iridescent bubbles of the froth
beautify many plain truths and earnest
proclamations regarding the good that
men should do.
The great preacher looks younger,
talks younger and says he feels younger
than ho did when he sailed down the
bay in the summer days of months ago.
When we read of a preacher taking a
"much needed rest" or a "woil earned
vacation" -we are prone to smile and to
say smart tilings about the absurdity of
a clergyman needing a -rest. In Tal-
"mage'a case he did not need rest in the
ordinaryi sense, but he certainly de
served such pleasuro and recreation aa
1he change of scene and freedom from
stereotyped duties gave him. Yes, he
ceTtamly did, for who among men who
work with pen and tongue labors more
than he? Truly, no one speaks directly
to as many listening ears from week to
week, and none in all the earth reaches
by means of ink and type a larger audi
enee. Dr. Talmage has some weaknesses.
One or two of them are quite pro
nounced. The latest weak spot'was de
veloped by the reception given to him
by the czar, tho czarina and the little
czardines. He can talk of hardly any
thing else since. He is never tired of
telling how tho imperial autocrat, wife
and family are really and ' truly mere
mortals, differing but slightly from our
selves, and how he "almost romped with
the children." t
I fear that the glamour of royalty daz
zled to some extent the eye of Brother
Talmage, so that ho did not see some
things so clearly as he might otherwise
have seen them. He says that the czar
waa more interested in talking of re- 1
ligion than of anything else. What did
ho suppose tho czar would talk to an
American preacher about? New York
Herald. -
Reversing the Decalogue.
Tho missionary appears in quite a new
light in a case which has recently been
before one of the local courts of the
TransvaaL Rev. Otto Kahl, head of a
station of the Berlin Missionary society,
was sued by a blind Kaffir named Mat
sila for money which had been paid as
"fines." The circumstances under which
these fines were levied indicate a truly
patriarchal condition or affairs.
It appeared that one of Matsilas daugh
ters nad given birth ""to-' & child without
the preliminary formalities of wedlock.
Why Matsila should have been punished
for this offense unless it was supposed
to have been the result of his blindness
is not apparent. But ho waa called be
fore Rev. Mr. Kahl and fined five pounds.
He was also fined one .pound on account
of a similar misfortune on the part of
another daughter, and a fine of twenty
five shillings because his son had been
fighting. Altogether, therefore, the bid
gentloman's children do not seem to have
been much credit to htm.
He failed to get his money back be-'
tsauso it was proved that the fines had
been levied by the church for church pur
iposes and in accordance with the rules
of that community. But whether it is
desirable that any "church" or any pas
tor should wield theso powers I venture
to doubt. At any rata Rev. Kahl has
established a moral code which com
pletely reverses the decalogue, and visits
not tho sins of the fathers on the chil-
j dren, but the sins of the childrentapon
the fathers. .London 'lrutn.

A t reneh Church Revolt.
At Berdones, in the department of
Gers, France, a priest was appointed by
the archbishop whom the pxrishoners did
not like. The townsmen Rocked up the
church. The priest attempted to address
them, but was cried down and hooted,
and now they have sent word to the
archbishop saying they would call a Prot
estant- clergyman j unless j their wishes
concerning the appointment oT their
priest were heeded. Such a proceeding
is altogether unheard of in that part of
France, and shows to what extent the
authority of the church of j Rome has de
clined, even in France, which was for
merly considered the most reliable strong
hold of the Roman Catholic religion.

She Dreaded the Examination.
A' good story is going the rounds con
cerning the preliminary examinations of.,
pupils at the London Guildhall School
of Music. A young and pretty girl pre
sented herself and modestly asked the
highly respected principal whether the
ordeal could not be dealt with by the
lady superintendent. It was then Sir
Joseph Barnby's task to explain to the
blushing damsel that the much feared
"examination" was not a physical affair,
but was merely one in the elements of
music in order to determine in which
class she should be placed. San Fran

A Restaurant in Creeds.
"Talk about tho tough element in
mining camps! Creede, Colo., knocked
them all out when it first started," said
W. II. Combs,' a member of the Silver
King Mammoth Mining company, which
is operating one of the best properties
in that new region. "Last January
thero was but one restaurant in the
place. It was in a small log cabin,
fitted up with rough wooden tables and
chairs. The menu would test the stay
ing qualities of any stomach on earth,
the waiters were recruited from the
toughest clement that had floated into
Creeda on tho first booni. They in
dulged in all the picturesque slang of
that region in filling orders.
"One of the customers was an old gen
tleman with long, flowing i beard and a
great amount of dignity, who had come
in from the east. With a much dig
nity as if he were giving an order in the
Auditorium tho old gentl ;man called
for a cup of coffee. The vaiter, being
busy, yelled in a rough voic e. to another,
'Bring in a qup of coffee for old whisk
ers here.'
"If a steak were brought in top rare
and a customer asked for it to be" cooked
again the waiter would' yell out to tho
cook, A little more hell on this steak!'
"Ex-Governor Cooper, of Denver, sat
at a table one day until he' grew tired
and he arose to leave, when a waiter
hallooed, "Old man, gist sit down again
and keep yer boots on I'll hustle in tha
grub fer j;e d'rectly.' And the governor
sat down and waited while ho brushed
away a drift of snow from the table that
had blown in through the-chinks of the
logs. That . Creede restaurant was a

J fating ivitU a Corncc.
' Charlie Landis doesn't look as hand
sorno when his hair stands straight up
on end as when it is in nico repose. ' It
stood on end yesterday. He wanted to
see Ollie Jenkins, bookkeeper for John
J. Long, the " undertaker. Some one
told him Ollio was in the back room
resting on a cot. He walked back. The
room was only dimly lighted, but he
saw tho outline of a human form on a
cot, covered with a thin shawl. In a
familiar manner he waltzed up to the
form, warbling a sweet lullaby, and,
slapping the supposed sleeper on the
shoulder, shouted, "Get up, old fellow,
what are you lying hero for?" No re
sponse. .
Another love tap on the other shoul
der. Still no response. Impatiently he
drew the cover from the head of the re-,
clining form and found himself facing
the corpse of a stranger who had been
brought to tho undertaking rooms an
hour before. Charlie stood rooted to
tlie spot, expecting the top of his head

Jenkins, -who, reclining on the opposite
side of the room, had witnessed the en
tire incident. -Chattanooga Times.;
An Anecdote of liooth.
Here is a scene I witnessed some years
ago on a Central Pacific train bound for
Frisco. Edwin Booth was aboard, also
a Mrs. Parvenu, who had become smitten
by the great tragedian. As he passed
through the coach en route to the smoker
she said to her companion, loud enough
to reach the actor's ear, that she would
give $100 to kiss Booth. Tho monto men
had been working the train and had
caught a green Irishman, who was going
west with his family. Pat was lament
ing his loss and the passengers were
guying him.
Booth finished his cigar, tapped Pat on
the shoulder and took him back into the
coach. Marching straight up to the
voman with the oscillatory, longing, he
said, "Did I understand that you .would
give $100 to kiss me.'" -lhe woman,
without a blush, admitted that she said
it, and produced a fat purse. Booth
held out Ids hand for the fee, got it,
kissed her, handed tho money to the
Irishman and passed on to the nextcar.
