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. Cuts and Bruise Quickly Healed.

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 Macurijes (Corral Falso), in the pro vince of Matanzas. The police assisted the rural guard, and four other bandits were captured. CliamberlHin'B Coufh Keuiedy a iremt Favorite. The soothing and healing properties of this remedy, its pleasant taste and prompt aud permanent cures have made it a great favorite with people every where.

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.
