Tiie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN, Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, S. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8, 189S. An Ardent Lover, "Writes to His Sweetheait In Expressive Language. The following letter was found amoDg some old rubDisu m a rung St. establishment. It bears no date, but must be of considerable age, judging by the faded ink and the worn paper. My Darling:? Divinity of my soul! every time I think of you my heart flops up and down like a churn dasher. Sensations of unutterable joy caper over it like young gotes over a stable roof, and thrill through it like Spanish needles through a pair of linen trousf ers. As a gosling swimmith with delight in a mud puddle, so I swim in a sea of glory. Visions of extatic rapture thicker than the hairs on a blacking brush, and brighter than the eyes of a humming bird's pinions visit me in my slumber, and, borne on their invisable wings, your image stands before me, and I reach out to grasp it like a pointer snapping at a blue bottled fly. When I first beheld your angelic profections, I was bewildered, aDd my brain whirled around like a bumble bee under a glass tumbler. My eyes stood open like a cellar door in a country town, and I lifted my ears to catch the silvery accent of your voice. ^ My toDgue refused to wag, aDd in silent adoration I drank in the sweet infections of love as a thirsty man swalloweth a glass of hot punch. Since the light of your face fell upon my life, I have sometimes felt as if I could lift myself up by my suspenders to the top of the church steeple and pull the bell for singing school. Day and night yo.u are in my thoughts. When Aurora, blushing like a bride, rises from her saffron colored couch; when the jiv bird pipes bis tuneful lay in the apple tree by the pigeon house; where the chanticlen's shrill clarion heralds the coming morn; when the awakening pig arises from his beed and grunteth, and goes for refreshments; when the drowsy beetle wheels its droniDg flight at sultry noon-tide, and when the lowing herds come home at milk-time, I think of thee, and like a piece of gum elastic, my heart seems to stretch clear across my bosom. Your hair is like the name of a sorrel horse, powdered with gold; and the brass pins screwed through your water-fall fill me with unbounded awe. Your forehead is smoother than the elbow of an old coat. Your eyes are glorious to behold in their liquid depths I see legions of cupids bathing like a cohort of ants in an army cracker. When the fire pierced my manly breast it penetrated my whole aDotomy like a load of bird shot through a rotten apple. Y'onr nose is from a chunk of Paris marble, and your mouth is puckered with sweetness, nectar lingers on'your lips like honey on a dog's paw and myriads of unpledged kisses are there, ready to fly out and light somewhere like blue birds out of their parents' nest. Your laugh rings in my ears like tViA vibration of an aDsrel's harp, or the bleat of a stray sheep on a bleak hillside. The dimples of your cheeks are I ke the bowers in the beds of roses, or hollows in home-made sugar. I am dping to fly to thy presence and pour out the burning eloquence of my love as thrifty housewives pour out hot coffee. Away from you I am meloncholy as a sick rat. Sometimes I can hear the June bugs of despondency buzzing in my ear and feel the lizzards of despair crawling down my back. Uncouth fears like a thousand minnows nibbling at my spirit, and my soul is pierced with doubts like an old cheese bored with skippers. My love for you is stronger than the smell of rancid gilt edge butter, or the kick of a young cow, and more unselfish than a kitten's first catterwa il. As a soDg-bird hankers for the light of day, the cautious mouse for the fresh bacon in the trap, as a small pup for new milk, sc I hanker for thee. You are fairer than a speckled pul let, sweeter than a buckwheat cake fried in sorghum molasses, brighter than the top-knot plumage ou the head of a Muscovey duck. You are candy, kisses, raisens pound cake and swyeetened toddy - together. ^ If these few remarks will enable you to see the inside of my soul, and win to me, your affections, I shall be as happy as a woodpecker on a cherry tree, or a stage Dorse in a green pasture. If you cannot reciprocate my passions, I will pine away like a bed bug. In coming years, when the shadows | deepen upon the hills and the philoso phical frog sings his evening hymns, j you, happy in another's love, can | come and drop a tear and catch a i cold upon the last resting place of Your Affectionate, Beau K. .

Be careful of your promises, and just in your performances, and remember it is better to do and not J promise than to promise and not ! perform. It is easy cDough to refrain from | buying what you do not want; but j there are people who economize in this way and who are awfully proud of it.

Chamberlain's Pain Balm has ro equal as a household liniment. It is the best remedy know*n for rheumatism, lame back, neuralgia; while for sprains, cuts, bruises, burns, scalds and sore throat, it is invaluable.

Tlio first symptom of approaching j death with gome is the strong preseuti- ] l went that they are about to die. | O/anam, the mathematician, while j ! iu apparent iiealth rejected pupils from j ! the feeling that he was cn the eve of j j resting from his labors, and he expired ' goon after of an apoplectic stroke. I Fletcher, the divine, had a dream j which shadowed out his impending dis- j i solution, and believing it to be the i merciful warning of heaven he sent f<>r a sculptor and ordered his tomb. "jiu; gin your work forthwith," I10 said at a " u'!'!. .myv . ial-o n [ puniljg. J ju ry 13 11U U1IID IU . i And unless the artist bad obeyed tbo admonition, death would have proved the quicker workman of the two. Mo- j zart wrote his "Requiem" under the j conviction that the monument he was J ! raising to his genius would, by the power I i of association prove a universal monu- j I ment to his remains. When life was j : flertiug very fast, ho called for the score and musing over it said, "Did 1 not j tell yon truly that it was for myseif j that I composed that death chant:" Another great artist in a different ! department, convinced that his hand was about to lose its cunning, chose a subject emblematical of tbo coming event. His friends inquired th8 nature of his coming design, and llogarth replied, "Tlie end of all things." "In that case," rejoined cue, "there will be an end of the painter." What was uttered in jest was answered in earnest, with a solemn look and a heavy sigh. "There will," he said, "and the sooner my work is done tbo better." He commenced next day, labored upon tbo drawing with unremitting diligence, and when ho had given it the last touch seized his palette, broke it in pieces, and said, "I have finished." The print was published iu March under tbo title of "Finis," and in October the curious eyes which saw the manners in tbo face were closed in the dust. Our ancestors, who were prcuo to look in the air for causes which were to be found upon the earth, attributed these intimations to various supernatural agencies. John Hunter has solved the mystery, if mystery it can be called, in a single sentence. "We sometimes," he says, "feel within ourselves that we shall not live, for the living powers become j weak, and the nerves communicate the | intelligence to the brain." His own case has often been qnoted among tho marvels of which he offered this rational explanation. He intimated, ca leaving home, that if a discussion which awaited him at tho hospital took an angry turn it would prove his death. A colleague gave him tho lie, tho coarse word verified tho prophecy, and he expired almost immediately iu an adjoining room. There was everything to lament iu tho circumstance, but nothing at which to wonder. Circumstances which at another time would excite no attention are accepted for an omen when health is failing. The order for tho requiem with Mozart, the dream with Fletcher, tamed the current of their thoughts to the grave. Focte, prior to his departure for the continent, stood contemplating tho picture of a brother author and exclaimed, his eye3 full of tears, "Poor Weston!" In the same dejected touo be added, after a pause, "Soon others shall say, 'Poor Foote!' " And to the surprise of his friends a few days proved the justice of his prognostication. The expectation of the event had a share in producing it, for a slight shock completes the destruction of prostrate energies. The case of Wolsey was singular. The morning before he died ho asked of Cavendish tho hour r.nd was answered, "Past 8." "Eight of the clock?" replied Wolsey. "That cannot he. Eight of tho clock?nay, nay, it cannot be 8 of tho clock, for by 8 of the clock you shall lose your master." Tho day he miscalculated; the hour came true. On the following morning, as the clock struck S, his troubled spirit passed from life. Cavendish and the bystanders thought he must have had a revelation of the time of his death, and from the way iu which tho fact had taken possession of his mind we suspect that he relied on astrological prediction, which had the credit of a revelation in his own esteem ?Household Words. A ?iv Terror For Tutors. Dueling has shown a new development in Germany. The university student is no longer content with disfiguring the noses, chins and cheeks of his friends to avenge supposed insults or with gaining the glory of scarification himself. He aspires to greater enterprises and is determined no longer to stand the tyranny of bis professors and examiners. The president of the Berlin university had the misfortune the other day to plow a student in an examination for the twelfth time. This candidate lor academic honors resolved no longer to tolerate such repeated insults, ami forthwith sent the president a challenge by a fellow student. The president, however, refused to comply with the polite request of pistols for two and coffee for one, or of swords and bolsters in tho park in the early morning. But he has uot sent tho bloodthirsty undergraduate fur a change iu the country, as he might j well have done. The students of Berlin j have dubbed the professor a coward, j But the German press thinks that his j decision not to accept the challenge is, j on the whole, justified. They argue it I would never do for the undergraduate I at a university to be able to appeal to arms if plowed inau examination. Ami there is certainly something from the ! professor's side to be said for this view. ! ?Westminster Gazette. Practical Arithmetic.

Statistics show that in 1,000 marriages, .'M- men marry women younger than themselves, (57!) marry women of their own age or near it, and SO marry women older than themselves. S. C. P. Jones, Muesburg, Pa , writes, "I have used De Witt's Little E irly Risers ever since they were introduced here aud must say I have never used any pills in my family during forty years of house keeping that gave such satisfactory results as a laxative or cathartic." An Irish gentleman lately said to another, "I called to see your family, but they were not at home: and I suppose they had gone to ride in a carriage which was standing at the door." John and Matilda sat for hours in sweet content with the gas turned off, aud yet the time was when cither of them would have been frightened to death to sit in the dark. Children are silly creature*! S. M. Geary, Pierson, Mich , wiites, "DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is curing more piles here to day than all other remedies combined. It cures eczema and all other skin diseases." "Don't you think I have a good face for the stage?" asked a young lady with histrionic aspirations. "I don't know about the stage," replied her gallant companion, "but you have a lovely face for a "bus." A little 4 year-old girl was capering around her mothers knee the other day when the mother remarked, "Why, dear, you are certainly beside yourself." The little girl replied, ' Why, ma, I fot I was beside "ou." A country newspaper thus describes the effects of a hurricane: "It shattered mountains, tore up oaks by the roots, dismantled churches, laid villages wast#-, and?overturned a haystack!'' CRUSHED BY HER CROWN! The great " Bool; r?f Martyrs" has never been written. Fox's 'anions work deals only with the martyrdom of the body. When the real book of martyrs is written it will deal with the mental martyrdom of the woman who suffered in rilenec because modesty would not let her put into speech the questions that burned in her heart. Modesty is the Crown of Maidenhood and Motherhood, and yet there have been literally millions of women crushed to death by that crown,? that shining symbol of wuiiiau r? m cut uvuic. Here is A YOfXG GIRL " Standing with reluctant foot Where womanhood and girlhood meet." In the first critical period of htr life she begins to experience suffering which she necessarily connects with the organs of sex. What it is she does not know. Why it is she does not understand. She needs medical advice. But she shrinks from it. Her modesty is up in arms at the thought of questions to be asked, of examinations to be submitted to. both alike repugnant to delicacy. So she suffers in silence. The strain on the delicate machinery of her organism becomes more severe. Painful irregularities become yet more painful. And so, silently, she treads the painful path to confirmed invalidism. Iler crown of modesty becomes a crown of thorns. She sees the glowing lamp iiglu of cheerful homes. She hears the cooing of the happy babe, the prattle of joyous children, and she fear- that all that life of home and love is not for her. Or take the other typical case of the woman who has entered on the cares aud nt'TIKS OF WIFEHOOD. She has always been healthy and happy. But now a change comes. Iler eye loses its brightness. Iler step loses its spring. The Color fades from her check. Frequently site is compelled to lie down and rest. She is in constant pain. She looks dreadingly down the calendar toward the hour when the burden of motherhood will be laid upon her. She. too, needs help. But she too suffers silently, because she cannot speak and open the door to such questions or such examinations as her modesty revolts at. And yet all this suffering is, as has been said, unnecessary, because to match modesty of speech there is modesty of hearing. There is one physician who has full v met the needs of modest women by offering absolute confidence in hearing ?absolute confidence in consultation?combined with absolute competence in treatment.
