A Dream of Life's Springtime
You came, dear, in the Springtime.with
all its balm and liloom;
A rainbow arched the tennest. a star
smiled in the gloom;
And, Oh. the .lays, the weary ways with
thorns so keen to kill,
Hut evermore that whispered word:
"Dear heart, I love you still:"
You came, dear, in the Springtime, and
all the roses seemed
Far sweeter for the thought of yon, as
in your face they dreamed;
You came, the Springtime promise in
beauty to fulfill.
With evermore tliat whispered word;
"Dear heart, I lovje you still!''
Oh, vision of life's Springtime, where
all Love's mem'ries cling.
How sad we drift to winter who once
have known the spring!
But evermore the thought of you shall
all the wide world thrill,
Willi that sweet word: "I love you
dear heart, I love you slill!''
Fuank L. Stanton.
Cheerful Labor.
The hardest task can be made easy
when it can "be done cheerfully. The
will'infr worker thinks only of the
labor in hand and tinds pleasure in
doinit. The unwilling worker is
dissatisfied and renders himself un
happy by vain regrets. Although
these are the merest truisms known
of all men, the knowledge is not al
ways turned to useful account. If
the labor we all have to perform may
be made either a source of pleasure
or of discomfort, we should surely
take some paios to learn how to
work cheerfully. That is one of the
reasons why care should be taken in
choosing an occupation. Unless we
are interested in our work we can
not do it well, nor can wg go to it
day after day with a cheerful dispo
sition. Nor can we work cheerfully,
even at a congenial occupation, un
less we have become habituated to
labor regularly.
Much of the happiness or unhap
piness of our lives depend upon the
habits we form when we are young,
and happiness comes not to those
who pursue pleasure, but to those
who learn to carry within themselves
a cheerful and contended disposition.
The pleasure-seeker must have
change aud excitement he cannot
content himself with a dull routine
of work; but the great majority are
required by force of circumstances
to labor daily, and therefore, it is
the part of wisdom to learn to work
cheerfully and to seek pleasure in
labor. There are other pleasures to
be found in life, but they will be ap
preciated more keenly if they have
been earned. To realize this it is only
necessary to note the zest with
which the cheerful worker enters
upon a brief holiday, aud the lang
uid air of his fellow who on the same
occasion seeks an outing, but to
whom the holiday has no significance
because his indulgent parents per
mit him to live in idleness.
The well-to-do often envy thr.ir
poorer neighbors because of the keen
appetites of those who work hard
and have few luxuries; they have as
much reason to envy the cheerful
worker to whom a holiday is a great
event. The hours that most people
can give to so called pleasure are
few in number compared to the
hours they must give to work, and
their happiness will be greatly in
creased if they can learn to labor
cheerfully. This is largely a matter
of mental habit and the young should
start right in forming habits. The
first thing to learn is promptness in
beginning a task. The more one
stops to consider about going to
work the more distasteful the idea
becomes. There is no trouble about
getting out of bed in the morning
when one is called, provided the
summons is instantly obeyed. But
it becomes more and more difficult
to get up the longer one lies in bed
thinkingabout it.
So also there is no trouble about
going to work of any kind if one
starts at the appointed time, instead
of lingering and making a vain ef
fort to postpoue the beginning of
the day labor. Good habits having
been formed in the matter of start
iiu', activity and earnestness in do
ing the work will shut out idle
thoughts and enable one to do the
appointed task cheerfully. Idleness
is the parent of many vagrant
thoughts; the cheerful worker be
comes so iuteut upon his task that
lit thin ks of nothinir else. Cheerful
labor has in this a good moral influ
euce, and every one should there
fore endeavor to acquire such habits
as will make work a source of pleas
ure. The man who never faileth is a
myth.. Such a one never lived, and
is never likely to live. All success
is a series of efforts, in which, when
closely viewed, are seen more or
less failure. The mountain is apt to
overthrow the hill; but the hill is
reality, nevertheless. If you fail
now and then don't be discouraged.

ARPOXOLI) FRIEXDS.
Bill Sajs He Receives Letters From Old
Men Which He Enjoys.
. They are not all dead. In fact,
they seem to multiply as the years
roll on my contemporaries, I mean.
I receive more letters from old men
than I ever did, and they write well
and give long epistles. When a
man gets along in the seventies he
feels lonesome, notwithstanding the
near presence of children and grand
children. The companions of his
youth are-gone, and so some of these
old men unbosom themselves to me
for sympathy. I like such letters
and try to auswer them all, but
rheumatism in my arm and hand
cramps my replies.
t One old gentlemau from Alabama
says he feels better after, he has
written, for he is a native Georgian,
and loves her people and her old red
hills and the sweet memories of
Emory College ind his visits to
Athens, where his uncle Elizar New
ton lived, and how he met me there
in the forties, and John Grant and
Dan Hughes and Jack Brown and
Billy Williams, who married my
friend's cousin and took charge of
the blind asylum and how he heard
Dr. Church preach and was charmed
with the music of the choir, where
Misses Ann Waddellaud Rosa Pring
le and other pretty girls sang, and
how a tall, long, high man, with a
big hooked nose and a huge "pom
um Adamus" on his throat, sang
base, and how he was a roommate of
Tom Norwood at Emory and a class
mate of Bishop Key and Judge A- C.
L.ougstreet, the author of "Georgia
Scenes," was the president; and
how he removed to Alabama in I34'J
and married and has seven daughters
and no sons and has ten orphan grand
children, and has to work early and
late to support and educate them, but
never sees and rarely hears from
any friend of his youth and is at
times sad and depressed and longs
for sympathy.
Poor old man, I wish that he lived
near me, for I would visit him and
cheer him up, and tell him anecdotes
and antidotes, and we would talk
over the old times and swap college
stories and brag about the good old
days when there were no telegraphs
or telephones or bicycles and we did
not want any; no sewing machines
or store clothes, and we didn't need
any; no football or baseball or haz
ing or suicides or appendicitis. And
in those days came Toombs and
Stephens and Judge Doughetry and
Howell Cobb and Walter Colquitt
and spake to the people face to face,
and such eloquent men as George
I'earce and Bishop Capers aud Jesse
Mercer and Dr. Hoyt aud Goulding
and Ingles preached to them. Yes
we would talk about our boyhood,
when there was no gas or kerosene
or rriction matcnes nothing but
candles to give us light, and no
Prometheus to steal fire from heaven
to light them with. Shakespeare
knew how it was, for he wrote:
How far that little candle throws its
beams:
So shines a good deed in a naughty
world."
If Shakespeare wrote by candle
light, why shouldn't we? And he,
too, used the flint and steel to make
a spark to light them. "Pick your
flint and keep your powder dry,"
was General Jackson's order at New
Orleans. When I was a young mer
chant gun-nints were as common as
marbles, and I sold them at the same
price 10 cents a dozen. Wonder
ful. wonderful are the changes, and
we old people fall in with them and
adapt them to our use and comfort.
I wouldn't be set back to the good
old times, if I could, but I would en
joy seeing this generation all set
back about seventy years, just for
about a week. My Alabama friend
and other veterans would be tickled
to death to see the universal dismay
no railroads or telegraph, no mail
but once a week and 23 cents for a
single letter. No daily newspapers
in the state and only four weeklies,
with no sensations, no suicides or
lynchings. There would be no cook
ing stoves, uo coal, no steel pens or
envelopes, no cigarettes. No million
aires or free niggers.
I remember when cotton was
packed in round bales with a crow
bar. The long bag was made first
and was suspended from a hole in
the gin house floor and Uncle Jack
got down in it and packed the cotton
hard as it was thrown to him. He
packed two bales a day and they
weighed 400 pounds each. Two of
them filled the bed of a big wagon
and five more were crossed on top
and fastened down with a long pole.
All the little spaces were filled with
corn and fodder, the big cover put
on and with a four or six-horse team
we were off for Augusta. It was a
ten days' trip and we boys were
happy to go along and camp out all
night and listen to the nigger driv
ers tell about ghosts and Jack-o'lan-terns
and witches and raw head and
bloody bones. It was great fun.
We brought back sugar and molas
es in great hogsheads. It was brown
sugar, for white sugar wasn't in
vented, except a kind called loaf
sugar, which was put in five-pound
cones and covered with blue paper.
That kind was for rich folks and was
very precious. It was crystallized
like these little square lumps that
are common now. When our mother
would unwrap the loaf she would
let us children click the sweet white
tissue paper that was next to the
sugar. It was cood. Most any
thing was good then. A stick of
striped candy was a rare treat. So
was an orange, or a bunch of "rees-
ins," as the niggers called them.
Most anything was good then, for
our appetites had not been surfeited
with cakes aud sweetmeats, as they
are now. e loved sassafras root
and angelica and sugar berries and
locusts aud wild cherries and the in
side bark of chestnut trees and slip
pery elm. We were always hungry
and huntinr'for something. Mv
Alabama friend is sad, not only be
cause he has lost his youthful com
panions, but bis youthful appetite.
Even ginger cakes have lost their
relish and a game of sweepstakes
and town ball and bull-pen their fas
cination. I envy the happy children
as they play around me, but I am
happy, too, in trying to make them
happy, for I know that there is
trouble enough ahead of them, for
man that is born of a woman is of
few days aud full of trouble. The
best we can do is to do the best we
can to fortify against it and take
the bad with the good. Try to be
calm and serene, for life is full of
blessings and we should school our
selves to magnify them aud be thank
ful. I have not forgotten the poor
little boy who slept under the straw,
and one cold windy night his mother
laid an old door on the straw to hold
it down, aud he said, "Mother I reck
on there are some little boys who
haven't got any door to put over
them." It is a good way for us to
think about those who are worse oil
than we are, and my Alabama friend
knows there are thousands of them.
But I must stop, for it is hard to
write a cheerful letter these gloomy
days. The weather is depressing
and that helps my Alabama friend
to feel sad.' Cobe says that a long wet
rain is worse on a man than a long
dry drought. We have not seen the
blessed sunshine for four long days
and the wind has blown down mv
pretty butter bean arbor flat to the
ground. Bill Am.
A Bridegroom at Ninety.
New York, Sept. 2. Ninety is
only a ripe age for a romance after
all, and anyone who doubts this can
take couusel with Mr. Paul Sand-
strom Brown. He possesses the
hearty old age, a fortune in real es
tate, stocks and bonds conservative
ly estimated at $ 100,0(10 and a charm
ing bride of 37, whose heart he won
after he had met her by advertising
for a housekeeper.
A year ago Mr. Brown went to
live with Herbert J. Carrington, a
nephew. They kept bachelor quar
ters for a while, but, as Mr. Brown
puts it, he "got tired of toasting his
fingers and eating burned beefsteak.''
He announced that he was going to
advertise for a housekeeper.
Among the applicants was Miss
Augusta Andree, a stately brunette.
She said she was born in Sweden
and had lived for some years at 32!J
East Twenty-seventh street in this
city. Moreover, she was a trained
nurse, and without delay the place
was hers. Mr. Brown still recalls
with a thrill of joy the first supper
provided by the new housekeeper.
The first impressions became per
manent, and one day the nephew
startled Mr. Brown by remarking
that the latter would make an ideal
husband far the young woman, who
certainly deserved a good one. The
uncle laughed, thought it -over, and
then he wooed and won.
A marriage contract was signed
and by it Mr. Brown is to convey to
his bride several valuable pieces of
Brooklyn property. The bride elect
received a handsome gold watch and
chain and a sum of money sufficient
to purchase her trousseau.
The wedding took place on Satur
day afternoon at the Carrington cot
tage. The wedding trip to the sea
shore, however had to be postponed,
for the banquet which followed the
ceremony was so eiaooraie, it is
said, that the next day the bride
groom was the victim of a severe at
tack of indigestion. His condition
at present is grave. A later dis
patch announces the death of the
aged bridegroom. EniToa J
A dispatch from Havana says that
Lino Lima, a notorious bandit, for
whose capture, dead or alive, the
military government offered a re
ward of $1,000, has been killed at

vince of Matanzas. The police assisted
the rural guard, and four other
bandits were captured.

Wife Sues For Lost Love.
Lexington, a., Sept. 3. A suit
has been entered in the Court of
Rockbridge by Mrs. Lilley E Mark-
ell, of Roanoke, Va , against Miss
Mamie R Day and Mrs. Mary J.
Netz, of Lexington, claiming dam
ages to the amount of $0,000 for
alienating the affections of her hus
band, George A. Markell, of Roa
noke. The case will be called at the
spring term of the Circuit Court, in
March, 1802, Judge S. II. Letcher,
presiding. This promises to be one
of the most sensational cases ever
held in the courts of Rockbridge. A
strong array of legal talent will be
employed on both sides.
It will be recalled that, about July
8th last, Miss Mamie R. Day, an at
tractive young lady, of East Lexing
ton, who made her home with her
aunt, Mrs. Mary J. Netz, left Lex
ington ostensibly to visit friends in
a neighboring county, but joined
Markell at Clifton Forge, Ya , and
from that point went to Cincinnati,
where they were later located by a
detective from Roanoke, who was
employed by the deserted wife to
find her recreant husband. Subse
quent events disclosed the facts that
for some time a regular correspond
ence had been carried on between
Markell and Miss Day,besides the fre- j
quent visits made by him to Lexing
ton. It has also been shown that
Markell was a married man, with a
wife and one child living in Roanoke.
Information of his intentions
were discovered by Mrs. Markell, it
is alleged, by a letter falling into her
hands disclosing the plans of the
plotting couple to elope.
Miss Day is now at her home here
having returned from Cincinnati
about a month ago. The where
abouts of Markell are unknown, so
far as the people of this community
are concerned. Before leaving Vir
ginia he was prominently identified
with the tobacco interests of Roan
oke.
ANOTHER CASK.
Gloucester, Mass., Sept. !. Pro
ceedings have been instituted by
Mrs. Martin Magnusson, wife of a
coachman, against Miss Maude B.
Wetherell, a wealthy young woman
of thiscity, alleging that Miss Weth
erell alienated her husband's affec
tions while he was in her employ.
Mrs. Magnusson seeks $30,000 dam
ages. Miss Wetherell is the daughter of
the late Monson L. Weatherell and
is a handsome woman of 22- Her
father was one of the best-known of
the city's business men and left a
fortune to his children. He was an
ardent admirer of fine and speedy
horseflesh and Miss Maude shared
her father's love for a horse perhaps
more than any other member of the
family.
Coachmen have been employed by
the WetherelU for the last thirty
years or more. About two years
ago Martin Magnusson, a good
looking young man, came into their
service and drove the family, includ
ing Miss Maude about town. He left
the employ of Mrs. Wetherell last
September, of his own volition it is
stated by the defendant. Since that
time he has not been emyloyed, so it
is stated, but has lived with his
father on Short street.
Mrs. Wetherell was seen at her
residence to-day in reference to the
matter. She was almost prostrated
by the notoriety which has been
thrust upon her family and is under
the doctor's care. She says she be
lieves her dauuhter is innocent of
anything of the kind charged.
Husband Turns Washwoman.
While his wife is in the North
Hudson Hospital with appendicitis
AugustRinke, a man of 70, living
at 911 Spring street, West Hoboken,
N. J., supports himself and two
children by washing and ironing
Rinke is a shoemaker, but has been
unable to get steady work. His
wife did washing and, ironing to
help support the family. When the
doctor told her she would have to go
to the hospital for an operation she
refused to go, because she was afraid
she would lose her laundry custom
ers. Rinke said that he would do
the work, and she went. The op
eration was successfully performed,
and Mrs. Rinke will be able to leave
the hospital in a few days. Rinke
has not lost a customer. They all
say that he does the work as well
as his wife.
Jealous .Man Kills a Woman.
Roanoke, Va , Sept. 2 Roscoe
Collins shot and killed a young wo
man named Genevieve Ball about
two miles of Coeburn, Va., this af
ternoon. It seems that Collins want
ed the woman to go out walking
with him, but she refused and was
walking on the railroad track with
another man when Collins slipped
up behind them and fired on them
with a shotgun. The discharge took
effect iu the woman's head, killing
her instantly and wounding the man
who was with her in the arm and
shoulder. Collins made his escape
to the mountains.
