AT The stepping-stones.
BY M. C. OIIXINOTOX.
Oh, you brooklet, brown and clear,
Do yon know ? Did yon hear ?
You among your spearmints, sedges,
Stepping-stones with rounded edges,
Singing softly as you go.
Did you hear ? Do you know ?
My rough hands outstretched to shear,
Do you know? Did you hear?
Shook above ye enow-white fleeces,
Lying round in ragged pieces,
When I heard her accents low
Did you hear ?. Do you know ?
Trembling then 'twixt love and fear,
Dovouknow? Did you hear?
While the clean-clipped ewe wentbleating,
I lor joy of such a meeting,
Let my words forth flow.
Did you hear? Do you know?

HE USED IT TO GET WORK.
Mr. Greeley, becoming disgusted with
the blunders of one of his type-setters,
sent a note up to the foreman requesting
him to discharge the man at once, as he
was too inefficient a workman to be any
longer employed on the Tribune. The
foreman obeyed instructions, but before
leaving the "typo " managed to get pos
session of Mr. Greeley's note, and imme
diately went to a rival office and applied
for work, showing the note as a recom
mendation. The foreman to whom he
applied scanned the note and said "Oh
I see 'good and efficient compositor'
employed for a long time on the Tribune
-Horace Greeley," and immediately set
him to work on the strength of Gredev',
certification of his incaptcitj ' a? te hiv
ing been "out of a job tor the space of
LOWLAND FOLKS.
In which it la demonstrated that squatters love aa
well as other folks. How I " stood
for" Sary and Tom.1
Reference was made in the last sketch
to Deacon Tanner's daughter Sarah, and
to her asking me to "stand for" her and
her lover, Tom, with the old folks. After
I had upset the deacon's religious argu
ments he seemed to feel it his duty to go
out and make a search for a razor-backed
hog which had been missing for three
months, and which had probably been de
voured weeks ago, while the wife made
ready to give the parlor floor a good
scrubbing with sand, soap and water.
Sarah was told to mind the kettle of lye
which was boiling over a fire to make
soft soap, and as I sat down on the log
beside her she indulged . in a chuckle and
said:
"You'un dun used pap right up in
them talks. He'un t-ees he's got to change.
Me and mam is right glad of it, fur pap
has dun been powerfully lazy. Him made
us all believe the Lord didn't expect he'un
to work. Him jit t wanted to spell out
the Bible and talk of the judgment day
while and ma had to go bar'f ut Pap is
dun mad about it, I reckon, but he dasn't
say nuthin'. You'un is too big fur him
in your talk, and when you'un goes away
mam will keep the water hot.''
"Well,, what is it about, Tom?" I
asked.
"He-he!" she giggled as she twisted
her apron in her hands in great embar
rassment " I like he'un, and him likes
me."
" But your parents object ?"
" Pap don't keer, I reckon, but mam
says I kin do better."
" Sure he loves you ?"
" He-he ! Him says so, and I believe
he."
" Has he any bad habits?"
"Nary."
" Doesn't he chew, smoke, swear, or
drink moonshine ?"
" He'un chaws plug. He'un smokes a
pipe. He'un swears at his ox. He'un
drinks moonshine to keep the chills away.
Them's what everybody does. Them's
no bad habits. Them don't hurt nobody."
" Where is he now ?"
"He-he! Oh.'hu! Him's close."
" Do you mean he's around here some
where ?"
"Yes. He he! You won't tell?"
"No."
" Then he'un is beyand that brush.
He'un's dazzled of mam. She'un's besots
him when he comes. Go out and talk to
he'un, but don't skeer him."
I walked out to the brush keap indi
cated, and crouched behind it was a young
man of two and twenty, dressed in the
garb of the lowlanders thereabouts, but
having a spirited look in his face. He
was much embarrassed over the discov
ery, and I sought to put him at ease by
saying :
" It's all right, Tom ; glad you are here.
I've agreed to stand for you and Sarah,
and if you'll come along we'll have a talk
with the old folks and settle the matter
this evening."
" She'un don't seem to gubble (have a
liking) fur me," he answered, as he waved
his hand towards the cabin.
" Well, we'll find out the reason. Come
along. Sarah loves you and is willing to
marry you, and that's the big end of the
bargain."
" What if she'un (the mother) dun bub
bles ?" he inquired, as he stopped short.
" What do you mean ?"
"Dun gets mad."
" Well, get her pleased again. Come
along."
"Oh, Tom, he 'un will stand for us!"
she whispered as we drew near. " You
orter heard him down pap, and I'm sure
he'un kin beat mam to shavings."
Just then the. deacon returned from a
vain search after the hog, and his wife
called out that supper was ready. Leav
ing the lovers together at the soap kettle,
I went forward and said to Mrs. Tanner :
" Sarah's Tom is here, and I hope you
will ask him to supper. I want to talk to
him."
" Tom yere !" she replied, looking very
serious. "I dun told him to skelter (keep
away) weeks ago. I never did snuggled
to he'un, but mebbe I'm not. He'un kin
cum along to smack."
It was pretty embarrassing for Tom,
but he held up gamely. When supper
was over I pulled the deacon out of his
fit of abstraction by handing him a cigar,
gave Mrs. Tanner a clean, new clay pipe
and a paper of tobacco, and when we had
all got settled down for business I said :
" Now, then, I've agreed to stand for
Sarah and Tom. Deacon, do you object
to this young man for a son-in-law ?"
" Kin him support Sarah, and will him
make a good man to her?" he queried
after a long pause.
Tom stoutly declared in the affirmative
in both cases.
" Mrs. Tanner, have you anything
against Tom ?" I asked.
" I've heard he was a-fussingtoo much."
" Tain't so, Mrs. Tanner," replied Tom.
" I haven't been fussing with nobody fur
a hull year. I'm friends with all."
"Ar' ye moonshing any?"
"Not a bit."
"Gwine ter stay on yer squat?"
" Sartin shore. It's guv'ment, and no
body won't skelter me off."
" Sim Parker dun told me you was a
swapper " (trader).
" Then he'un dun lied to you to git
Sarah hieself."
" Wall, that's all I've got to say. Sary's
likely and she orter hev a good man. If
she 'un loves and is satisfied I reckon I
shan't growl."
"How is it with you?" I queried of
the deacon.
" Them craps orter be hoed out," he
answered, waving his hand towards the
corn and potatoes.
" I'll hire two niggers to-morrer," said
lom.
WmTye ? Wall, that's powerful kind
of ye. I alius did think ye was fitten."
o-om ? when does this affair come
on; 1 asked.
Sarah blushed, Tom fussed with his hat,
Mrs. Tanner began to wipe her eyes, and
the deacon looked as solemn as a tomb
stone. "As fur that," he finally said, "tain't
no use to him-haw around. If it's fitten
why, it's fitten. When you are got to go?"
" By day after to-morrow."
" If you stand for 'em you'un must be
at the marry, you know."
" Of course, and buy the first salt and
sugar. Tom, will you be ready to-morrow?"
; ... - ; r'i u
" Reckon."
"And Sarah?"
" If mam abides."
"It's powerful soon," answered the old
lady, as she went back to her pipe, " but
as pap says if it's fitten why, it's fitten.
We'uns is pore and shuckless, and I
reckon we's as ready as kin be all the
time for either funeral or marriage. Sary's
dun got one better dress, and she kin
wash her face and comb her hair."
"Who's gwine to do the hitching?"
asked the deacon.
"Squar' Shadford, I reckon," replied
Tom.
" Wall, I've met up with wuss. Better
skelter and ax in the nayburs, Tom. We's
pore but proud. We hain't got no fine
fixings, but thar's a gallon of moonshine
under the ladder and we'll do the best we
kin."
And how they were married, and what
was said and done by the Lowlanders
who were present, I will- describe next
week. M. Quad, in -Detroit Free Press.

THE BELLE OF LITTLE HILL.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland's Pretty Sum
mer Home at Marion, Mass.
Nothing could be quieter than the lif a
led by ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland
in their summer home at Marion, Mass.
They occupy a long, low cottage, of beau
tiful design, on Little Hill, between the
upper and lower villages, and about a
mile from the railroad depot. Aside
from the interest attaching to it through
its present occupants, the cotUge itself is
interesting, having been designed by the
famous architect, Richardson, of Boston,
who during his lifetime, ranked unques
tionably the greatest in the country.
It is the property of the Rev. Percy
Browne, of Roxbury, Mass., a personal
friend of the great architect, who was at
the same time a parishioner of his, and
induced him to construct this, the only
small huse designed by him.
The cottage is a two-story dwelling,
with a re-entering porch that opens into
a hallway with the parlor on the right
hand a charming little diLing-room on the
left. A stoop on the extreme right of
the building admits one to the parlor at
that end, after ascending a few steps,
which add much interest to the architec
tural effect. Everywhere about the house
and the parlor, the dining-room and the
hall are seen great bunches of wild flowers
from the "fields, and more luxuriant though
not the more beautiful from the florists.
Mis. Cleveland is a great walker, and
may often be seen strolling along the
high roads, accompanied by some of her
neighbors, or diving into the woods on
either hand in search of wild flowers to
decorate her home.
Upstairs are the sleeping apartments,
with sloping ceilings, and great dormer
windows opening out upon the lawn or
admitting the fresh, salt breezes from
Buzzard's Bay.
Seated in a large wicker chair within
the porch, a great St. Bernard dog curled
up at her feet, Mrs. Cleveland spends a
great part of the morning, when the
weather is fair, reading the daily papers
or the latest novel, and then strolls leis
urely over to the studio back of her
neighbor's house to chat with Mrs. Gilder
while at her art work or to have a romp
with the fair artist's lovely children.
The Clevelands have taken the house
for the months of June and July, and
selected that quiet New England village
on Buzzard's Bay for the purpose of en
joying absolute rest for a little while. Mr.
Cleveland goes up every Inday night by
the Fall River Line and returns Monday
night.
While in Marion the ex-President leads
a very quiet life. Occasionally he goes
sailing or fishing on the bay and is some
times seen walking or driving about the
village, accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland.
On Sundays they attend services in the
little village Congregational Church. Mr.
Cleveland's weekly journey to and from
Marion attracts a great deal of attention
on the roads, though he tries in every
way to avoid it. People come up to him
all the time and it is actually all he can
do to prevent the greetings of his friends
and the attention of those who desire to
make his acquaintance taking the charac
ter of a public reception. As soon as he
reaches the steamer he hastens to his
state-room as quickly as possible, but can
scarcely escape 'the well-intended impor
tunity of his admirers. New York Morn
ing Journal.
"THE FACE AT THE WINDOW."
"This letter is to my husband," she
said as she licked on a stamp at the win
dow in the corridor of the postoffice.
"Yes'm."
"Will it go out to-day?"
"Yes'm."
" By first mail?"
" Yes'm."
" He ought to get it day after to-morrow?"
"Yes'm."
"And I ought to have his letter by
Saturday?"
" Yes'm."
" It isn't over weight ?"
"No'm."
" And if he gets it, and if I get his an
swer by Saturday, I can write "
"Please don't obstruct the window,
ma'am; there's forty people waiting."
"Oh! there are! That's always the
way it. I can't get a word of information
out of this postoffice, try as I will. Good
day, sir ! I'll go across to Canada after
this!"
The man who likes to hear himself talk
stood in front of a drugstore last evening
and began his diatribe by pointing to
something in the window. " Look there
it's a burning shame to see such signs
as that," he said in an injured tone. The
sign in question read: "Shooflyl Poison."
" Now isn't it too bad that a p'oor fly can
not enjoy its brief hour of life without
such a conspiracy as that against it?
Flies are the natural scavengers of the
air. Their absence foretells plague, pes
tilence and famine. A man who would
deliberately crush out that wonderful and
beautiful complexity of insect life is a

he cannot restore. The fly is the ,

THE NOVEL REMEDY USED BY
A BARKEEPER WHO TURNED
DOCTOR.
In one of the popular down-town
lunch-rooms the lunch ers sit at long tables
and help themselves to butter from a
large-size roll, which is placed on a plate
near the centre of each table. The other
day the table nearest the front door was
fully occupied, and a young man near one
end was just reaching for the butter,
when the door was thrown open with a
jarring bang, and a bareheaded man, whose
face was flushed with excitement and
who wore a long white apron, dashed in
with a bound, rushed over to the , table
mentioned, grabbed up the whole roll of
butter and then tore out again with it in
his hand. The young man who had been
reaching out for the butter fell off of his
chair and the other guests were greatly
excited at the strange and sudden inci
dent. A few of the cooler heads took
advantage of this excitement to put their
checks into their pockets and sneak out
without obeying the injunction, " Please
pay at the desk."
. One of these people had seen the ex
cited joung man disappear with his but
ter in a doorway just across the street,
and his curiosity prompted him to follow.
The place wa3 a small soloon, and the
young man was evidently the barkeeper.
It appears that two or three of his cus
tomers had been standing in front of the
bar examining an old dueling pistol. One
of them raised the hammer, saw no cap
on the nipple and supposed it was not
loaded. He blew in the muzzle and was
just removing it from between his lips
when the hammer fell, there was a blind
ing flash and report, and the poor fellow
received the entire rusty charge full in
the face. He fell to the floor and every
one became crazy with excitement. Only
the barkeeper had presence of mind, and
as soon as the man fell he darted out of
the door and across the street, returning
quickly with the butter.
Kneeling at the wounded man's side,
he smeared this butter all over his torn
and powder-stained face and rubbed it in
vigorously. Then he threw a handker
chief over his face and helped convey the
man to the rear room. Meantime some
one had gone for a doctor, and he soon
arrived. When he saw the man he in
quired : "What's that stuff on his face?"
The barkeeper told him what he had
done.
" WeM," said the physician, "you saved
him from being disfigured for life by your
prompt action. That grease has kept the
powder from getting In under the skin,
and I can pick it all out." Luckily there
was nothing but powder in the pistol.
The grains were picked from the young
man's face, and now he is as good as new,
two deeply-imbedded particles of powder
at the side of his nose being the only
visible marks ot the accident He will
never blow into another pistol, and will
always regard presence of mind as a won
derful trait in any man. Chicago Herald.
THE DIFFERENT STAGES AT
lrifc UAMts.
The Methodists and Baptists have bee a
the pioneers for a century, and carried
their religion into the wilderness and
established civilization. They drove mule
and drove ox wagons and cleared the
land, built log churches, and when every
thing was sorter comfortable the Presby
terians came riding up in their buggies
and rockaways and settled among them,
and planted out shade trees and rose
bushes and built a church with a steeple,
and set up the Shorter Catechism and
predestination, and moved around as
though they were the elect. By and by,
when two or three railroads were built,
and the shade-trees had all grown up and
the green grass was growing all around
and around, and the streets were macada
mized, and an opera house built, ;he
Epistopalians came along in apostolic
succession, with stately steps and prayer
books and Lent and Mardi Gras all mixed
up together, and they bobbed up serenely
into a fine church with stained glass win
dows and assumed to be the saints, for
whom the world was made in six days,
and all very good. Bill Arj), in Atlanta

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE
MANY.
Very few men have ever been forced
into greatness or success, and very few
successful men have not earned their po
sition. This should be an encouragement
to young men. Neither, birth, condition,
poverty, lack of education nor adverse
circumstances can long withstand a de
termined and energetic nature. Every
one has an equal chance with hi 3 fellows
of rising in the world. We cannot all be
railroad magnates, dry goods millionaires,
bank presidents or oil kings, but unless
nature has been dwarfed, or the mind
wholly neglected in its early training, we
can aH be something, and it is our duty
to be the most that we can. Here are a
few examples of men who began life un
der circumstances more discouraging than
is the lot of most young men of to-day,
and with less advantages, for there is at
the present time no excuse whatever for
a young man to grow up without an edu
cation or advantages. All of these examples
are sufficiently well known to need no
further introduction or history of success
and present position: John Wanamaker's
first salary was $1.25 a week; A. T.
Stewart made his start as a school teacher;
Cyrus Field began life as a clerk in a New
England store; Pulitzer once acted as
stoker on a Mississippi steamboat;
'Lucky" Baldwin worked on his father's
farm in Indiana ; Dave Swinton sold
sugar over an Ohio counter for $1 week;
Moses Taylor clerked in Water street,
New York, at $2 a week; George W.
Childs was an errand boy for a bookseller
at $4 a month; J. C. Flood, the California
millionaire, kept a saloon in San Francisco;
P. T. Barnum earned a salary as bartender
in Niblo's Theatre, New York; Jay Gould
canvassed Delaware county, New York,
selling map 3 at $1.50 apiece; C. P. Hunt
ington sold butter and eggs for what he
could get a pound and a dozen; Andrew
Carnegie did his first work in a Pittsburg
telegraph office for $3 a week. Adam
Forepaugh was a butcher in Philadelphia
when he decided to go into the show
business; Senator Joe Brown made his
first money by plowing his neighbor's
fields with with a pair of bull cah es. We
have not all even a pair of " bull calves "
with which to begin our success, but most
of us have a pair of strong arms, an able
body, and with the assistance of a willing
and determined mind can work our way
to a success, in a measure, as great and
worthy as any of these, and it is a fact
for which we should be truly thankful
that in this country the road to success is
open to every one, the only condition be
ing that we furnish our own conveyance,
and if we are too lazy or indolent to do
this, it is no one's fault but our own.

THE SIZE OF HEAVEN.
Editor Atlanta Constitution :
Does any book or commentary on the
Bible give the size of heaven ? W. P. P.
Answer : The twenty-first chapter of
Revelation gives the measurement. The
most interesting calculation on the subject
is that of Capt. J. B. Sharkley, a measurer
of vessels in the Boston custom house.
He takes the statement in Revelation xxi
and figures it out thus : "And he meas
ured the city witih the reed 12,000 fur
longs. The length, the breadth and the
heighth are equal." Twelve thousand
furlongs 7,920,000 feet cubed 497,793,
088,000,000,000,000 feet Reserving one
half of this space for the throne and court
of heaven, and one-half of the remainder
for streets, we have 124,198,272,000,000,
000.000 feet cubic. Divide this by 4,096
cubic feet in a room sixteen feet square
and there will be 30,321,343,750,000,000
rooms. We will now suppose the world
always did and always will contain 9,000,
000,000 inhabitants and that a generation
lasts 31 J years, making in all 2j970,000,
000,000 every century, and that the
world will stand 1,000,000 years or 10,000
centuries, 29,700,000,000,000 inhabitants.
Now, suppose there were 100 worlds like
this, equal in number and duration of
years, a total of 2,970,000,000,000,000
persons. There would be more than 1,000
rooms 1G square feet for each and every
person.
HE HAD REASONS.
" I've had my hosses and wagon stole !"
shouted an excited farmer as he rushed
into police headquarters yesterday.
"Where from?"
" Right out here on the square !"
An officer was detailed to go with him
and investigate, and as they reached the
market the farmer said :
" I left 'em right over there about fif
teen minutes ago."
"There's a team around the corner
there," replied the officer. "Did you
have a woman with you?"
"Yes my wife. Say, bygol! that's
my rig as sure's you live!"
" What's the matter, Sam?" asked the
wife as they approached.
" Thought the rig was stole."
" I just drove around to be in the shade."
" You go off the handle pretty easily, I
should say," observed the officer to the
man. " Why didn't you look around a
little?"
" Say !" said the man as he moved a
few steps away, " I was a little hasty, but
I have reasons for it. That woman sit
ting right there, humble and demure as
she looks, has run away from me three
times, and I'm expecting the fourth
calamity every minit in the day. Go
kinder light on me. She may skip me
yit before I get out o' town."
THAT MADE IT PLAIN.
" Say !" he began, as he halted a pedes
trian on Michigan avenue, "I'm stuck on
a point in history. Why did Washington
cross the Delaware ?"
"He never did."
"Didn't he? Why, history says he
did."
" No it don't. It speaks of Lord Corn
wallis crossing the Hudson."
"Ah! So it does so it does. I was
all mixed up. ' That makes it plain to me
now. Curious how a man will get a little
off on these thiners now and then. I'll
try and remember that much obligedVH
Aspiring poet " You returned my last
work because it was written on both
sides of the paper. But this is written
only on one side."
Heartless editor "Yes, that's what's
the matter with it. If you will send us
the paper without any writing on it, it
will be accepted." Omaha World.
On one occasion a lady called and pre
sented a check which she wished cashed.
As she was a perfect stranger to the pay
ing teller he said, very politely : "Madam,
you will have to bring some one to intro
duce you before we can cash this check "
Drawing herself up quite haughtily, she
said, freezingly: "But I do not wish to
know you, sir!" Richmond Dispatch.

This House was opened on November 1st,
1888. Our sales for the past two months have
been by far the largest since its opening. Our
charges are the lowest, and every pound of
tobacco is sold for full market value. As
Alliance men, we can have no special peta. but
all tobacco is sold upon its merit. We have
the full support of the buvers of this market,
and the great saving in charges i such thai
you cannot afford to sell elsewhere. Remem
ber that "money saved is money made."
Bright Tobacco and good rich Fillers are in
demand at satisfactory prices, and we guar
antee full market value for all grades. We
want at once 50,000 pounds of good old Bright
Smokers or Scrap, to be manufactured at the
Vance County Alliance Tobacco Factory, for
which we wiU pay the highest market prices.
The opening of this Factory at Dabney, It
C, was authorized by the ance County Alli
ance at its eession of April 5th, 1889.
