"NOTHING BITCCEEDM SUCCEHS," DANBURY, N.'C, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1885. My First Love Affair. BY ZACHARTAn ALL F.N. (Written for the ltaroariEa «»o PO«T.] At aboul styentccn age, 1 school was larger and the girls *fcre ll t*eding)y pbity -the town jflfefcootea Tor iu beautiful women. There was one roey-ebaeked miss, rather older than she Wl* fcußid, and her eyes were ot great beauty and brilliancy—- Ilcr Itior" was very lively, and her oonvernation polished and'faumoroua.— When an opportunity offered, I selected her as a partner for a prominado. She seemed -'nothing loth," and we were most bappy. But I coald nok talk to her, for my basbfulnoss was extreme.— I would have given one ot my great toes to be able to tell tho tender things that then crowded about my beurt. 1 found it vain, however, and was forced to content myself looking only, with unutterable emotion. Six months were passed in this bliss ful experience. She treated me as if I were a promising boy, who might grow into something. In this she did not show much judgment, is was clearly proven by my wasting all my first hilar ity of spiriu in the sober meditations of a first attachment. There was, during tho winter, a party in town, to which all the young people were invited. It was here I met this young "daisy," where, for the first time, our intercourse could be unrest rained. I succeeeded, after divers efforts which sent tho perspiration in streams to my forehead, in seating myself at her side, and finally struck off iuto an interesting conversation. The oveDing passed off delightfully. Tbo party rose to go ; and then, watch ing my opportunity; I asked lief to es cort my fair one to her dwelling. She smilingly consented. We walked slow ly along tbe quiet streeU of the town, apart from the rest of tho party, and now and then asking and answering some question of trivial interest. Tbe walk, though near a mile, seemed only a few steps, and as her stately edi fice appeared in view, I walked still slower. Whon wo reached the steps of the front door, a small, glimmering light upon the kitchen hearth announced that the family bad retired for the night. She ascended tbo door steps aud stopped, and the bright moan shone full on bcr radiant face as sbc raised ber blue eyes to her "lovercst of lovers." I seised be r band, and she made no ef fort to take it away ; I looked up in her face, and she looked down on mo, and I can't say how it was done- our lips met—warm, blushing, trembling with emotion. 1 took, I believe, only one kiss, but that was sufficient for tbe ox act moment. Sho sprang within the door, saying "gsod night" in tones that sounded to my oar like the softest, sweetest breathings of a negro "corn song," and the door closed upon her charms. This was tbe first love kiss I had over receivod. I walked slowly toward my homo, I believe on tbe tip of my toes. I stop ped after a moment to get breath ; tbo moon seemed to wink at me roguishly, and aa I leaned .gainst tho bars of a railing near a green pasture, I murmor ad : "How delicious that was! Was ever molasses sweeter t Did over a banjo sound such sweet notes as fell from her lips ? That good night!'— Ah, if in augol bad leaned from tbe oloud, is could not bavo whispered "peace" in more ravishing strains. Ah, Zack, you aro a pluoky fellow. May millions of blessings descend and rest upon your name, and tho most blissful of earthly pleasures perpetually flow in upon you!" Soliloquizing, 1 reached my father's dwelling, and entered tho kitchen door, softly and slyly. All the lights were extinguished. 1 locked the door, and crept toward the parlor. How nico, thought I, that all are gone to bod.— Not one soul to disturb the blissful at titude of my feelings. I opened very softly the parlor door. Thunder and earthquakes ! There sat my father! He bad been doting in the arm-ohair, but my entrance aroused bim. "This is protty doings for a boy'" he exelaimcd. 'Where on oarth have you been ? Tell me, «ir, where havo you been so late V "Only waiting on tbo ladies homo from the parly, sir," I timidly toplicd. "Ladieel" be exolaimed with a sneer. "How long since they havo learned to go alone, and left off their sucking bot tles and dolls ! How long unco your mother roeked you in the cradle and cleaned your ditty face ' Mere chil dren ! Go to bed, sir, and when you are old enough to out "timber" from your chin, yon may consider yourself capable of gallanting tbe ladies, and perbaps of feeling a preference for one among their number. At present you are about as fit for a beau as a year-old colt is for a coach horse!" Since that eventful night, I haven't taken much slock in 'gallanting ladiea,' but if a»y ot- ue lair ones choose to write me a line, tliey can direct their letters to Zatk Allen, P. O. Box No. 5, Prestonville, N. C., and their wishes will receive due consideration. An Extraordinary Capture. A tbicf contrived to gain admission into a set of chambers during tbe ab sence ot tfce lawful occupant, aud at once proceeded to lay hands on every thing of value he could find. In the midst of operations it occurred to him that his wardrobe was in urgent need of renewal, and he therefore took off bis clothes with a view of replacing them by other:; he found iu the room. Scarcely, however, had ho reduced him self to the garb of primivc man when he hoard a step outside, and promptly laid himself under tbe bed. Some oue entered the room, and the thief lay noiseless for several minutes. At length the new comer departed and be ven tured to leave his hiding-place. But, i.iuch to his disgust, he discovered that his visitor had been a gentleman iu his own way of business, foi not only was everything in tbe chamber carried off. I but oven bis own suit of clothos dis | appeared ! lie was therefore compell ed to await the return of tbe owner of I the property, who banded him over to i the police. How Men of Iron are Killed. People know nothing about each oth er. Every man is a globe, a natural history to himself. When wo have beaten every enemy outside of us, there arises unseen enemies withiu us. You see tbe powerful boise go to tbe field every day and take his place at the plow, and one day you find him dead, and you ask what the tiouble might have been. The hor9c could not speak, but tbe doctor comes aloeg aud tells you that ho has had the bots. You ask what the bots may be. Bots you find are some kind of inseot that are propa gated within tho animal, feeding upon his health and life. So it i« with men at work, when they are apparently most healthy most unknown species of thing seems to want to prey upon them, if for nothing else than beeanac of such abun dant health. We slay tbe fattest steer; the noblest sheep we want upon our plate. Therefore, strong, sensible men are often the victims of the commercial necessities of life and wear tbcmselvos down and out when everybody else is wondering how they procured such an iron fabrio. Waahlnglon'a Argument Speaking of two legislative bodies as against one, there ia no better illustra tion than tbe atory that ia told by tbe great French publicist, LaLoulaye, of Washington and Jofferton. Jefferson WM taking tea with the father of his country, and, having recently return ed from Fiance, was talking of tho legislative ohamber. Washington lis tened with interest to the end, aud then said. "You havo just shown tbe superior advantage of tbo two-chamber system : of legislation." "How is that ?" asked Jefferson. "Why, you have poured your tea out of yonr cup into your saucer to cool." It is said that the argument was considered a powerful one with Jeffer son. A Timely Reply. "How are clocks te-day V' asked a dude as ho stepped into a Superior stfeet jewelry store and smiled on the clerk. Tho clerk almost fainted u.idor tho dude's sickening grin, but had tho pies ence of mind. "Oh ! they're all on a strike." As would be said in a novel, Her bert de Quinsy, the dude muttered a curse between Ins tmc stuffod molars and disappeared athwart tbe glimmering gloom. Premature Burials. "The world would be horrified," said a well known undertaker tbe other day, "if it knew tho number of bodies that are buried beforu life ia extinet. Once ia a while one ot these eases eoines to light, but no stops are taken to prevent its recurrence. Something that hap pened to me about twelve years ago bas worried mo ever .iinoe. 1 nu sent for one day to take charge of the body of a man in street. The man was a tailor, and bad fallen over while sitting on his bench sewing, lie was a big, fleshy man, about forty years of age, and weighed about 250 poands. Tbe body was warm and the limbs were limp. 1 did not believe the man was dead, and said so. His friends told me that a physician bad pronounced him dead. 1 was ordered to put the body on ice at once, but I delayed this oper. ation, on one pretext or another, for nearly two days. During this time tho body lay on the benoh in the little shop. Finally, I could delay no longer. The limbs were still as limber as when I first examined tbe body. 1 prepared the body for burial, and the next day it was buried. Ido not believe that man was dead when tbe eaitb was shoveled in on his coffin If tbe same ! thing were to happen again 1 would let somebody else do tbe buiying. "About the same time a young wo man living up towo was supposed to havo died very suddenly. A physician was called in. lie said she was dead. An old woman who was present thought otherwise and insisted upon it that she was in a trance. The body was buried. A few weeks later tho old woman de termined to satisfy herself about it, and bribed the grave-diggers to disinter the coffin. The lid was removed aud a horrible sight was soon. Tho young woman had come to life and had ma !o a terrible struggle for liberty. Her hair was torn out, and her faio was frightfully scratched. She had urn*d over on her face. "A person is generally believed to i be dead if thero is no action of the heart or pulse. A vein should bo opened. If blood flows the person is not dead. Tbis operation would take about thirty seconds, but it is not often rosorted to. Supposing the person is suffering only from a temporary suspension of anima tion before he can recover tho use of his faculties an undertaker comes in and ho is put into an ice-box, where what ever life there may have been in him is frozen out. The board of health should tako hold of this matter and devise some j means of ascertaining beyond all doubt i that life is cxtiuct before tbe body is I buried. 1 have thought of a good many i different means. A receiving vault j ceuld be built in every cemetery, where 1 bodies could bo placod until decompo | sition had begun, when they could be buried."—Philadelphia North Ameri can. It WmIII* Custom A clerk and his country father en tered a restaurant recently and took seats at a table where sat a telegraph operator «nd a reporter. The old man bowed his head and was about to say grace when a waiter flew up, singing, "1 have beefsteak, oodfi>h, balls and bullheads." Father and son gave their orders, and the former again bowed bis bead. The young man turned the color of a blood-rod beet, and touching his arm, exclaimed in a low, norvons tone, "Father, it im't customaiy to do that ; in icstatrants !" "It's customary with j me to return thanks to God wherever I am," said iho old mati. For the third time be bowed his head, aud tbo son bowed his head, and the telograph oper ator paused in tho act of carving his beefsteak and boned his head, and the journalist put back bis fish ball and bowed his head, and thoro wasn't a man who heard tbe *bert and simple prayer that didn't feel a profoundor respect foi the old farmer than if be had been tho President of the United Stales.- Syracuse Herald.
