hour just before twilight, that we
all love to idle away with inconse-
quential thoughts and observations,
there passes my window a collide
that greatly interests me. The
lady is but a young giri, it seems,
and she has such a pretty' face, so
white and peaceful, with
thing of a sadness in it,
ofjoy.
She has great eyes that stare
strangely at you, and at the sound
of her companion's voice, their
lids are drooped, and their long,
graceful eyelashes fall upon her
checks. The man reminds me of
one of the old Saxons. He is big
and strong, and has the curly gol-
den hair and the big blonde beard
of that race of men. Ilis compan-
ion hangs on his arm, and yet he
seems to depend as much on her
as she on him, for they cling very
closely indeed together, while he
carefully picks their way out with
a light cane.
Both are blind. I inquired
about them the other day. Neither

A few days ago while the job
press at this office was rattling olf
a lot of blank mortgages, an old
colored man was a silent looker-on
and admirer of the nicety in which
the press did its work. On being
inrormed that the printed matter
were mortgages he quietly remark-
ed: "I'm aferd of them things; machine, howov
every time that wheel goes 'round
somebody's gwine tor cry. Dcy
may laf at fust, but dcy is sure to
cry 'fore (ley git frou." A moral
might be gained from this illustra-
tion. Too true is it that iron-clad
death warrants of this nature
wring tears, bitter tears from many
a one who is unable to prevent
them. It's now crop planting
time and the farmer should re-
member that small grain and a
good corn crop are the only safe-
guards against this "crying" evil.

Grant for giving offices to his

marks an epoch in the life of the lndi- ! of young
vidualr Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory nnd the agency
whereby the good health has been at-

is that so much is heard in praise of
