frtenda, listen to their salutation*, re
joice with those who rejoice and sym
pathise with those who have bad sor

cloud hovering over oar boriaon— no
apprebeelkm of trouble or grief or
death Of war or any dire calamity.
Bright hopes end fond expectations
Sited our cup to the brim sad Love's
young dream made everything to teem
beautiful. We breathed the poet's
gratefal prnyar,

alone, and we have long elnoe learned
tbe* Ilfs’* victory I* to aufiar end be
strong—to look on lb* bright aid*-to
enjoy the blaming* of lha praeeot rather
than lament those we have lost or bor
raw trouble that may never com*.
In looking backward over onr wed
ded Ilf# I can My that we have bad
more than onr abate of pesos end joy —
of comfort aod luxury—of haaitb end
strength: more then usually fails to
the lot of mortal i. As we luuk around

misery and distress, sickness anil want
all over this biased land, and tbrre are
thousands of unbapry creature* lan
guishing In the prisons while lheir
wives and mother* aod children suffer
and grieved In broken-hearted homes
It grieves os tb Uitok of lbees, sod we

Pood memory goes back to my own
youthful days when 1 waa a school boy
and loved a ptetty Isas of twain jam
man aod aba knew It, aad when at boy

«yer aad anon aba glanced at cat and
always Moated wben I returned her

a good scholar, Al lb* weekly (polling

ole bait roaad the room aha generally
got head aad atayed there, and I geocr
got oeat to her slyly held her hand In
mine aad staved (bare, too. That was
but a acbool boy's love and with Uaa
and separation It faded away. Tbea I
vwtto the institute and waa prepared
for college and In dot time beoime a
sophomore at what la now called the
UelvataUy of Georgia. I found mao?
sweet aad prvtty glrla In Athena, aad
dnrlag my meond year foil desperately
Is love Willi one of Item. All, bow
gently aha tolled ate along and how
she toyed with mo aad sang the same
old Karr “Will vow walk Into ay par

walked to. Mia waa kind, vary kind,
and she aald aba would alwaya lova ma
as a a later. Alas them slaters who are
of aa kin. My addresses wars rejected
and ad I oould do ass to smite upon
my breast aad rxetatm:

few months I was wall and ready for
soother spider.

girl la abort dressea aad paeialkUaa.
Rosa after my depertara ate kogtbeaad
out her dresses end ns seal by her
1st her to Augusta, there to Oalih her
edueetlon. We both returned home
•boot the mm time end 1 was both
surprised and delighted to Bod ber all
btowa roes, a brunette maid so dark as
I*ocaboaUe aod as ahy as a fawn. She
wore number 2 shoes aod stepped Uke
a deer. 8he was Just tUeo sweet six
teen and I had reason to belters sbe
hid never had a full grown lover. Her
father wee e wealthy and distinguished
lawer. Her mol bar was a Holt with a
atnlo of Indian blood la ber veloa,
that asms straight down from l'ooe
boo tea through the Randolphs of Vlr- :
(tints. That Indian maiden had loved
Captain John Smith, and as I had s
strain of Smith blood In my veins I
sew so reason why this maiden should
not love me and I determined to play
the spider myself.
The village graveyard was near the
big gate that stood at the ea<l of tbs
avrnue that led to her father's boost.
A smart yoang lawyer or the town had
begun bis visitations at tits paternal
mansion with serious intent, but one
dark night be became frightened near
the graveyard and declared that tome-,
body shot at him. I had begun my ,
visits too, and It eras whispered around
that it was 1 who haunted the young
lawyer and (eared him off tho track.1
Of course there was oo truth In this, i
tor I did not hanker after any claee
communion with ghosts or graveyards
my self aod It took me a long time to
overcome my aoperstltloa and to feel
ealra end eerere on the way. But 1 did
and sometimes would get within tbn
enclosure end etc upon s tomb stone
and ruminate and wait for the spirit to
come.
But this narrative la becoming
tedious. To me It Is lengthened sweet
uesa drawn out. for It did oot Uke me
loog to fall deeply, desperately, devoted
ly lu lavs and my opinion was then
aod alill Is that Cupid shot us both ut
oooo with tbe name arrow. A girl of
sixteen who has never had a lover la
eaallv capterad by a smart, handsome,
promising yoang mao, nod my wife
will tell you that I was all of that and
more, too.
I remember, oh yea I remember, bow
cue moonlight night, when we were
taking a walk with a party of young
people aod I bad ventured to Uke her
hand id mtna as I recited some pretty
verses from Uoldsmitb,s -'Hermit,” 1
•aid: '-Aod no#, my dear girl, why
shouldn't wa love eeeh oilier aod mate
aod marry like the birds.” Tilt gentle
pressure of her band was answer
enough aod I drew her closer to mo and
kissed her.
