And it appeara at the South that all clauses of men carry a gun-and all olasses ute them. Down at Spartanburg, South Carolina, the other day s gentle man waa aitting on bis porch with his wife, and another gentleman ohanced to be passing, lis carried a few grape tinea in Lie hand and intimated that the gentleman on the porch bad dooe some thing to them. The lie waa pasted and before you could say Jack Robinson (he man on tbe porch was dead died in tbe presence ofhia wife. The murderer walked up and aurrendered to the sheriff and the law will be inToked and the chancea ate that tbe South Carolina plea of self defence will suffioe and the murder er will go free. Over in Durham county the tame day citizen of Durham went out to Creed- more and socused hia eonaio of some thing or o:her haTing to do with writing letters to hia wife and tbe result waa that the oouain waa shot four limes and the reports were that he would probably die. All ol this sort of utter foolishness hap pens not only once, but is happening every day. Lawyeia are alwaya engaged the man under the aod has no ahow; time beala np the wounds and the jury generally fioda a Terdict of not guilty. It is to be regretted that men who tote gnos snd who ahoot promiscuously and without cause are oot looked up. It should be a law and the law should be enlorced, making it a penitentiary offence to carry a concealed weapon. There is no neoeaaity for the citisen theae days to go armed. The people are not in s atate of savagery. No one's life ia in danger, eioept when the hot Leaded man carriea gun and ubcs it without cause aod without premeditation. The fellow whi accnaed hia neighhor of molesting hia grape Tinea perbspa did not intend to kill any oot but because he carried s gun snd had it handy he abot ibe light out of a man who waa least expecting to be murdered. The Durham county people perhaps never intended to take life but (he gun waa handy and the blood wra hot. Until there is s Isw mads prohibiting the carrying of oon ccaled weapons snd the penalty is sbout fits years in the penitentiary and every oitisen has a right to search a man for a gun without a warrant, the tombstone makers are going to do more business than they by right ought to do. And it ia not only the saddened homes and heart-broken wives and chil dren who suffer. Tbe whole aeotion suf fers because the bloody acoonnta ars sent broadooaat over the world aod a whole county suffers beoiuse of the unlawful practices of a few hot headed men who should not be allowed to run- at large.

As sure as the red years die, dear, as sure as the red yeara die, The day and the hour will come, dear, to whisper a last good-bye When love shall noloose the handclasp and under the heaping clays Shall hide in the shadows dark, dear, the dreams of by-gone days. Whatever paths we wonder, they lead to the ways that part I One goes to the realm of ahadows, one waits with a lonely heart; And tears that we weep together shall come at the cry of prayer, Aod flow in a Hood of grieving at pangs of partiog there. The roses will bloom as red, dear, through all the laughing land; The lilies will grow as white, dear, but neither will understand, For what ia the rose and the lily to hearts thst murmur and moan, With eyes that wars bright all dim, dear, and one of us here alone I Ah, one that is left shall murmur snd ask of the bud and bloom, And question the awful silence and mourn at the gates of gloom ; And call through the nights of darkness and sit at the doors of woe, And never an answer at all, dear, from lips tbst it used to know. Aod one at the darkened window and door of the heart'a old home, Shall wait with an unspoke welcome for one that shall never come; Aod one at the gate stands watching as there in the yeara before, While the latoh of the gate issileot aid one shall return no morel Whichever it bo that goes, dear, whichever it be that slays, The lily and rose shall bloom, dear, through sll tbe lonely days; And all that we loved so bravely and all (hat we loved so long Shall dwell with the one that stays, dear, and lighten tbe lips with aong. Enough that the joys were many, that Love was a aun and a star I Enough that we knew the raptures as tired feet wandered far I Enough that tbe yeara were happy and sweet was the golden light That came at the 6rst "Good Morning," and atayed the last "Good Night.' OLD SOUTHERN SONG, Take me home to the place where I first saw the light, To the sweet, sunny South, tike me home, Where the mookiog-bird sung me to rest every night Ah I why was I tempted to roam : I think with regret of the dear home I left, Of the warm hearts that sheltered me there, Of the the wife and the dear ones of whom I'm bereft, And I sigh for the old place again. Take me home to tbe place were the orange trees grow, To my oot in the evergreen shade, Where the flowers on the river's green margin may blow Their sweets on the bank where we played. The path to our oottage, they Bay, has grown green, And the place is quite lonely around. And I know that the smiles aod the forms I have seen Now lis deep in ths dsrk, mossy ground. Take me home, lot ma see what ia left that I k new Can it be that the old house is gone ? The dear friends of my childhood indeed must be few, And I must lament all alone, But yet I'll return to the place of my birth, Where my children have played at the doer, Where they pulled the white blossoms tbst garnished the earth, Which will echo their footsteps no more. CHORUS. Take me home to the place where my little ones sleep; Poor massa lies buried close by, O'er the graves of the loved onea I long to weep, And amoog them to rest when I die. STORY OF RIR DUKE-.

I auffered for four montha with extreme nervouanoaa and laasitudo. 1 bad s linking feeling in my stomach which no medicine seemed to relieve, and losing my appetite I became weak and lost my vital ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen pounds of flesh and felt that I must find speedy reliof ta rvgain my health. Having heard Wine of Cardui praised by several of my friends, I sent for a bottle snd waa certainly very pleased with the results. Within three dsya my appetite returned and my stomach troubled me no more. I could digest my food without difficulty snd ths nervousness gradually diminished. Nature performed her functions without difficulty and I am once more a happy and well woman. OLIVE JOSEPH, Una AUula mr Hi cms. Secure a Dollar Bottle of I Vtina nf Tacit.,!
