I om't H describing tlie
voun-i uiu U! it r.ir-ua.M uuam
j my recollection, there were between
t'ithcr in Kr:il .r hkiii after. 6!ic
was from Virginia, ami "was a beau
tiful and accomplished joun hdyt
but not my favorite. I will say 1
hd a lavjrite in that group. I do
not fav she wss the f;dre-t. riehiyt
or mo.d. refined, yet I had and felt
an interest lor i;er l icir lor none
of the others, simply for the reason
that she always seemed to sympa
thize with me v.!en I wouhl make
some awkward ilnnder. I never
saw her point her finger at mo and
giggle when I ws called up to de
claim and would l-e so Itashful that
my whole frame would shako as
though I had an aue. I can never
write or read of the noble women of
North Carolin.i, but my mind is cen
tered upon another, the deare-f, to
pie, of all womankind, though
the was not brought up in the sur
roundings of a city, imr in an allbi-y-nt
home, and could not dress ac
cording to modern style. Hut she
yore tho old-time cap and round
spectacles, ami aprons of her own
make. Mie knit my socks with her
own fingers, seated by tho broad
fire-place, by tho liht of a tallow
candle of her own make. Her
face was crossed with many a wrink
le; her slioul b rs were stooped with
the burdens of a long life, yet how,
oh! how soft and gentle that hand
when we were eiek, and such a voice
to siHjthe pain! There was no one
that could fill up a room with so
much peace, purity and liht. Tli ti
one tr.a i,Lj ii.ifn ' ! Though many
years have passed since she fell
asleep in Jesus, yet I feel at times
that gentta hand laid lightly upon
my brow and hear her .-ofr, earnest
prayer to God in behalf of her way -ward
boy! She was liorn hrSurry
coimty end buried beneath its soil.
My father rd. lies in the sulie
county, and those of my brothers
ni.d sisters thathave died, except
one, aro likewise buried i i Surry
county, and tho.-j that arc living
are still there. Then, Mr. Ediror,
are you snrpri-ed when I toil yii

a welcome visitor to
me
Please
pardon the dhrrchsiori,
and I will
return to Mount A irv.
1 told you in my lat letter that
us boys were' under the as-istant,
Mr. Summers. AVell, he was a nice,
genteel young mau.-nud took great
pains in trying to advance his stti
tlcnt'. Hut all of us b boys had
a kind of vindictive feeling toward
him. simply because he v:.s permit
ted the privilege of ";;;;Hat.ti:i" the
?c!iool girls and we were not. He
could have one on each kgo, but we
were forbidden bv the school dh-cip-lit.e
to gallant" or have any cor
respondence whatever with the girls.
Wo' imagined ourselves as compe
tent to take CAre of them as Mr.
Summers-, or Mi. anybody else, so
far as that was concerned.
For this grievance, we took spite
out on Mr. Summers, nnd allowed
no opportunity to pass without vex
ing him to the fullest extent of" our
wits. Well, ho was not only a good
educator, but nl.-o a good jumper.
He cha!!enred the Fchool to jump
against him We were to mark our
bet jump, and when he came from
dinner, with apparently little effort
he wouhl jump just a few inches
over. Alter a while wo gave it up.
The school-house of Mount Airy
then stood in the sulurhs of town
on an "eminence and was surrounded
by a most beautiful grove of young
oaks, which nor only made a beau
tiful play ground for us boys, but
also i pleasant shade for the vil
lagers' cows. W 11. we put our
heads together (when we found we
culd not beat our teacher at jump
ing) to play a trick on him.
So. one day we dug a pit in the
ground, about a foot square and one
or two feet deep. We filled the
hole nearly full of the softest mud
we could find, placed small and
nearly rotten sticks over the top,
then covered the sticks with dirt and
made the place look very natural,
making our mark a few inches le
hind tiie pit. Mr. Summers came
up with his u-ual smiiv.-, viewed our
jump, and, as nsn.nL jumped ! Into
the pit he went aui fell one of the
hardest falls, perhaps, he ever got.
He was the most lie-smeared man 1
ever saw, and we got half an hour
more plav time !

From the Atlanta Journal.
"Wasiiinctox, January 10. The
object of the democracy in c-nxorinjr
tire next presidental contest, is to
win. . -.
.Principle is better than success ;
but success in a single line of policy
is better than failure in tho isiticr
gun process.
To witi the presidential election,
we must not only carry the srates
that we-have l-e- n ace is'.med to
carry but we must defeat the enemy
in the doubtful states.
How can we do it i The answer
comes from every democratic con
gress fharv from these states.
"Make tariff leforni the issue."'
j I have put three questions to
democratic representatives who re
flect the sentiment of the party In
Cjoiinocticur, - Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Xew Hampshire and "X'ew
York": . ,
il "What should le. the issues
presented in the next democratic
piatforni f
'j. "What prominence should be
given to tariff reform f
"What effect would the inser
tion of a free silver plank have in
tlie doubtful states f'
Mr. Crosby,' of Massachusetts :
"TafilT retorm should be, by -all
means, the paramount issue, and tin
mot prominent features of the tariff
reform should bo towards giving
free raw materials.
"It is not only best to ignore free
silver; bu we should declare for a
son-.d eutret'cy and against free
silver.
j "it the party docs this, we ptand
a good chance of carrying Massa
chusetts. To declare for free silver
would not only lose Massachusetts
but would lose every eastern and
northern state, not excepting Nov
Jersey. The south has not the
selfish motive of the west and
should be as much in fav-r of a
second currency as the. east."
Mr Stephens, of Massachusetts :
"Tariff ref-;rm should be tiie
main issue in tho next campaign".
To crivensfr-'e raw material i about
the m.bt important phase of tar ill
reform.
' "To put a free silver plank in. the
irext national democratic, platform
would cause us. to lose Massachu
setts and make all Xew England
doubtful. To declare against free
silver would help wonderfully
throughout Xew England and
chan go Massachusetts frm repub
lican, to the doubtful column. '"
Mr. O'Xeil, of Massachusetts:
' --'Make tho issue on the tariff and
nothing elt-e.
"To put in free silver would lose
Xew York. It is m-ed!e?s to say
thiit it would lose all Xew England.
; "Say nothing about free silver,
and we can carry even Massachu
setts and win the election beyond a
doubt." '
Mr. Cotilidge. of Massachusetts :
"The light should be made on
the tariff.
Insert a free silver plank and we
would lose every Xew England
state. Omit free silver and we will
carry Massachusetts and every other
doubtful Xew England and north
ern stat?.
"Why, on a free 'silver platform,
nly ono democratic, congressman
from Mi sachuselts could bore-elected

Dr. English, of Xew Jersey :
"TaiitK re-form shoah be the
slogan ef democracy in the next
presidential fight and the willing

"L'l the democratic partv frame

to get the question fuirlv before tlie
people, the passage of a just bill by
the house a id iis etulorsenu-nt by
the democivUic party is a necessity.
"Tho party is too much dhiJed
on free silver to go for or rgainst it
in too pronounced a measure. V"e
could carry Xew Jersey anv way,
but a free silver plank would b.uiiy
handic.ip us."
Mr. Ca d mus. of Xew Jersey:
"The war sho-dd Ite fv tight with

"Xew Jersey isagai::st five silver,
but denmctaw is so strongly in
trenvhed in tho state that we would
carry it any way. It will help us
throughout thrt country to make tiie
fight on the tariff."
Mr. Daniel!, of Xew Ham'.sTnre :
'Our state is very close, jut the
republicans have always carried it

Mr. Little, of Xew York:
"Tariff reform should have by far
the most prominence in onr niliotial
platform. Hut economy should ido
occupy, an important place. We
want no more biillou dollar con

dodged. We should adopt tlie sil

should favor Mmetalism but ii:si-t
that a full dollar's worth of silver
be put in a" silver dollar. If we
should coin copjer dollars we should
make them

We should not stamp a he on a coin.
