It was a tultry August day during the . . 1 1. sie;e ol Atlanta, rur several uours Sluruiau's bij; jruns li ad kept up a heavy ciinuonadiri!', and the streets were filled with sulphurous clouds of smoke. Many shells had landed in the very luart of the city, killing a number ol ciiiz'ns and doing considerable damage. Iu the alternoou there was a lull in the tiring, and busiuess was resumed, but tiups of pcoplo on the cornets snd in the stores anxiously discussed the possi bility of s still more aclive bombardment. "This is only a feeler," remarked a gray-haired citizen with s wooden leg, "just wait until the yankees get desperate. Then they will turn loose a hundred guns once, aud tbey will knuck the town into a cocked hat." The old man was s veteran of the Meiican war, and his predictions sod opiuions were heard with much interest and attention. Is bombardment very destructive?" asked a youth of sixteen who had just arrived with s company of state troops. "You would think so," replied the other, "if you had been with me when we entered Vera Cruz. Our shells liter- Ily tore the place to fragments. The streets were choked with debris, and the walls of the houses were spattered with clots of blood and pieces of human flesh. It was a horrible sight." "In those days,'1 said one of the listen ers, you had only the old-fashioned fuse ells." "Yes," was the answer, "but they did their work about as well aa these new fangled percussion concerns." Lota of those shells strike on the wroti" end," suggested a merchant, "aud 0 no damage." "Don't be too certain of that," said the veteran, "there is danger in handling them carelessly, sod you will hear ol many fatal accidents. That twenty-four pounder which you have just picked up aud carried into your store has no busi ness there. Some fool will tamper with it, and then there will be an explosion ." The merchant promised to have it carried off, and immediately called an old negro who was working in the rear of the sture. I'oi-le Siipio," he said, "take this thing to Captain Jones at the pistol fac tory. Tell him that I sent it. He will know what lo do with it. He careful. oow, if you drop it, or hit that cap, you II be a dea I niuger." 81 ipio listened with a broad grin on his black face. ' Shucks, Mars Bill," was his quick re- ponse. "I ain't easily skeered by a little thing like that. I'll tote it all right." lie stooped snd (tied lazily with one hand to pick up the shell. Hi !" he exclaimed, "but it's heavy Must be nailed to the floor." Takei'ood hold with both hands," commanded his master. "Hold it close 10 you, and if you value your life don't lrp it r run against anything." With s bewildered look the negro tool the shell, snd hiuging it closely to hi breast started elf with il.

"Don't you cunc hack here, Take it over lo Captain Jones and give him my message." "Ysir," replied the ol I darky, "but you see, Marse Bill, I met Tom out here, aud Tom (aye that all l have to do ia to takeoff tho cap and dig out the powder. L mine have s hammer sod I'll fix it." He looked around the store, evidently in search of a hammer or a hatchet. "Aa I am s little lame," hastily re marked the Mexican war veteran, "I guesa I'll take my leave right now." He nobbled down the street, and two or three others followed st a rapid pace "D n It, Bcip, said his master, "you're s (fool. If that thing bursts it will kill every one of us.

For a moment the merchant was temp ted to knock him down, but as that would cause the shell to fall with enough force to explode it, the idea was quickly given up. The loungers in the store darted out in every direction, leaving Soipio, his master and two frightened clerks. "Keep perfectly still, Scip," pleaded tho merchant, "don't move an inch, and hold to that thing. Now, Seip, you plantation niggers don't understand these things. The cap on that shell will ex plode it if aoything strikes it, and it would kill all of us and tear down this house. Take it to Captain Jones, and when you come back I'll give you a dram." But the petted and spoiled family ser vant was used to having his own way, and he paid no attention to his young master. I.iuiihing with the glee of a child over a uew toy, the innocent darky picked up a hammer, and, taking s Beat on a box, he placed the shell between his koecs with the cap uppermost. "Tom told me all sbout it," ho said glibbly, "and Tom knows. I'll get the powder out, Marse Bill, You just watch me." He adjusted the shell and then raised the hammer, talking all the while, as he made his preparations. The proprietor of the little Btore fled through the front door and did not stop until he found himself in a safe shelter in the next block. The two clerks were afraid to make rush fur the front, as they would have to pa-s the amiable idiot with the shell. In the twinkling of an eye they mad their way to the rear, tumbled through the window and crawled into the cellar of the next building. These movements were executed will) almost lightning-like rapidity. The frightened merchant and his eh rks were not a moment too soon. The delay of even a half-minute might have proved fatal. Before they had recovered their breath they heard a deafening explosion and shower of flying fragments clattered gaiust their places of refuge. When ihey reached the scene th hardly recognized the place, The little one-story brick Here bad disappeared, leaving a smoking wreck where it had stood. Two of the ailjoiniug buildings were badly damaged and s mule in the street had been killed by a piece of the destructive twenty-four pounder.

Hamilton joined them while they stood upon the court house steps, surrounded by the men who had unearthed the mystery. After the cere mony the groom kissed tht bride snd de parted for home on foot , followed by good wishes Ironi the crown. The fea ture of the occasion was when Clerk Sauderson asked the woman why ehe wore Buspenders. Her reply was : "To hold up my pants, of course." THE OLD MAID. The Humboldt Progress, a Tennessee paper, has this paragraph: "Nearly everything snd everybody if formed into a trust or combine except old maids, and they would be if tbej could get trusted." We dislike lo see such disparagiog remarks about the old maids. Few of them go to their graves unmarried from choice and many of them live s life of self-sacrifice. Many who become old maids have speut the best years of their young womanhood in nursing so invalid mother, sister or father, remaining faith ful to the trust reposed in them until the last. Years of her life is spent in the sick room, where she is an angel of mer cy and kindness. Her pleasttrea are few and seldom docs she get a glimpse of the gay world around her until the flower of her young womanhood has passed and she has attained the age where people begin to call her an old maid. The title is sn honorable one. God bless the old maid. FATHER'S TIME. "Oh, no, I cannot go with you after diuncr to night; you see that is father's time, and we always have so much fun, then." This is what I heard a little maiden say to her ichool friend, who bad invited her to go somewhere with bor. "Father's time." I wondered what that meant, and so I said to the little maiden, "And what is 'father') time?' " "0 'father's lime' is right after dinner at night, ;n, hojir or so before we go to bed. Fai her makes lotB of p ure for us .then, and it is the only time we o see bite except in the early worniug, and that is such a short while. Father never goca anywhere at that time, and when we do not; we give idW hour to him sod he gives it to us. It is our together hour.' 0, he is aucb dear, good father I" What a testimonial to the high stand ard of fatherhood was this lillle girl's I Away all day, immersed in business eares, he oould give no time to hit chil dren except the hour before their bed time With what happy light heart) those little ones kissed him good night when bed-time came, and with what smiling laces they went to sleep to dream beautiful dreams of father's love. Let there be union among ua. Man proposes, but God disposes. Not failure, but low aim, is crime. The root of all discontent ii self-love. Ride on over all obeUcles and win the race. Trust not him that hath ones broken, faith. It is wonderful bow near conceit ii lo vanity. Philosopboros are only men in aimof -after all. A man never knows what he can '' do till be tries. It't easier to make yourself tiresome; than agreeable.
