All the days and weeks and years seem to be coming this way. Anno Domini has brought another birthday to my house?not exactly a centennial but a sixtennial. I used to think it would be very sad to grow old and I wondered that old people could be so cheerful. When my young wife was sweet sixteen it never occurred to me that she would be over sixty. It seemed impossible or at least so far away that it gave me no concern. But here it is, she has crossed the liubicon, trying to catch up with me. Yesterday was her sixty-first birthday, but she is only sixty years old. How is that children? AYe didn't know what to do for her. Didn't know what she wauted or needed, for she never tells. I did hear her, romancing one day about how she would like to have a carriage and a j pair of gentle horses and a good j driver at her command so that she could ride around and make visits and go to the missionary meeting. I'm going to get her that equipage or turnout or plant or establishment just as soon as I can, though it may be in the new Jerusalem. She deserves to ride the rest of her days, for she has worked and walked enough. She has done her share. Good gracious, what a mountain of toil and care and anxiety it would make if we could see it all piled up. The mother who raises ten children in the old-fashioned way has done enough, has fought a good fight and deserves a pension. For more than forty years she has been making their garments and teaching them to spell and to read and the catechism and washing their faces and blowing their noses and fixing them up for Church and Sunday School and little parties and tying up stumped toes and cut fingers and nursing them in sickness and watching the measles and mumps and whooping cough by night and by day. Job tolls us of the dark hours of the night when deep sleep faiieHi upon a man?yv;b\a mau-?but it don't fall upon a weary mother with a teething child. And I have hot forgotten the beautiful plaited bosom shirts she used to make for me before the days of sewing machines. The children were the biggest thing, of course, and they are yet, but she has never forgot me. All she wanted me to do was to provide the needful and I did it. Yes, I did it, except during the war. It was nin and tuck then and she was dodging the Yankees a good part of | the time, with half a dozen little I chaps tugging after her, who thought 1 it was a frolic. They run her and her little brood all the way up and down the Chattahoochee River for 800 miles, and she would hardly get settled down to lest in one place before she had to skeedaddle to another. The good book says, "Love your enemies,'' but that is such a hard thing to do I don't believe that very O J many people undertake it: maybe some of the sinners do, but the Christians don't, I know. They didn't at Omaha nor Portland, and some of our Southern preachers bristle up and show fight like a porcupine. There may be some sanctified women who h.?ijio resentment, but the men are 4 .^e. Most of the sanctified folks never had to run from the foul invader. Well, I don't know what to do for the maternal ancestor, nor how to nVvvo f Ck V> QV Vil T*+V?/1q X7 T lllftnotlf. ?J - ?? of doing as Cain did?bring ber some of tbe tirst fruits of my garden?the garden that I planted and worked in every day?1113* beautiful potatoes and peas and raspberries and asparagus, and a squash bloom to put in her hair, but the girls said that I had better not. Then I thought that I would write ber some poetry and say verses inscribed to my wife on her sixty first birthday. So I tried to work up a poetic frenzy, but I couldn't. I wanted some thoughts like John Anderson, my Joe, ought to have written in reply to his wife's sweet words; But now your brow is bnld, John, Your locks arc like the snow. But blessings on your frosty brow, John Anderson, my Joe. That suits me, but somehow ii doesn't seem to suit her raven hair al all. She is not old enough to b* munched up and crunched up v/itl | pathetic poetry like that. I used to write sorue poetry, bul J some how I've lost the lick. Fran! L. Stanton writes all of my poetry now, and he does it beautifully. Ii seven years more we will have f golden wedding., if we live, and I'l get Mr. Stanton to write some verse.' j for that. We never lmu f>uf. on< j j wedding, ami there wasn't muei J i'uss made over it. No presents. j >vji'e cost me 825, that's all. Tei I dollars for a ring, and $10 for the preacher, and the rest went for a fancy marriage certificate. Yes, we did get some darkies to wait upon us and nurse the children and they were good and loved us and loved the children. They were part of the family, but Mr. Lincoln pro* ' * ^ i i m clamated tiiem an away dui. up. Tip wouldn't go until we told him. He had a wife and children to support and we all had to scuffle for bread then. But it is all right. "We are not complaining?"whatever is right"?except some few things like snakes and tarantulas and hyenas and train robbers and Omaha preachers and the foul invader. But I did commemorate her birth- . day after a fashion. I. backed an . envelope with "lines inscribed to my wife on her sixty-first birthday/' and inside she found the lines which was < a check on Mr. Howard's bank for , $20. That settled it. That made domestic affairs all calm and serene. . It generally does. Money is a good j lubricator for the wagon in which we ( make the journey of life. Money is good for sore eyes and fainting hearts. Money inspires our love and graduates and stimulates or religion. Not that the maternal ancestor had been restrained in her desires or limited in her pride, but there is a tranquil satisfaction in having some spare money about you. No man ought to allow himself or his wife to get clean out of money. He ought to carry a dollar or two in his pocket and feel of it now and then. A man can afford to owe $100,000, but he can't feel like a gentleman if his purse is empty. Some falks carry a buckeye or a rabit foot in the pocket, but a silver dollar is better than either. History just keeps on re peating itself. Thirty years ago our little four-year-old daughter got the 3 scissors and slipped off in another ] room and clipped her flaxen hair and ' cut up things scandalous. Her 1 mother found her diligently pursuing 3 the same business and suddenly lit { upon her unawares and spanked her 1 so vigorously that the memory of it is still fresh and green. That little 1 da^hter lives over"the hid not Tar-""1 away and has plenty of spanking material of her own now. Yesterday 1 morning her little four-year-old got into the pouts and wouldn't go in to | morning prayers. So she was left out rather than have the usual so- ' lemnities disturbed. And so while they were praying the old devil was watching and he gave the child the scissors and told her to go it. And she did. Her mother found her hair mangled and gashed and scarified o o awfully, aud forthwith without warning she elevated her garments and spanked her indiguation in the good old way. They are even now? mother and child, and so it keeps going on down the line and the law of heredity comes in. But my wife says it is all wrong and she pities the poor little innocent things and comforts them in their troubles and tribulations. Aud that is all right, too. It takes a mother to do the spanking and a grandmother to com fort them mi J sympathize with them. So let the procession proceed. Bill Akp. Hov's This!

My ^ z Dear Sir: Iu your paper giving the account of the meeting in Columbia on the 4th instant, I find the follow-1 13 2* ing reference to myself by Governor ^ Tillman, and I beg you to allow me space euough in your columns to ^ show how absolutely false are the statements made by this man, who never hesitates to resort to falsehoods when speaking of political opponents, or to promote his own selfish personal ends. I shall take his statements in the order they were made, and I shall convict him of falsehood 0 in regard to the first out of his own ^ month. ^ 'At Aiken two years ago I said Hampton ought to be in the United S( State Senate forever, and that I was 1 willing for him to stay there" * * 'At Aiken he refused to ride in the carriage with me,' and yet, after my baviDg done so, he that day, in his speech, made the declaratoin as to my remaining in the Senate! Yet he qow gives that as one reason why he M subsequently opposed my re-election. ^ ft! Now, as to the facts in reference to my refusal to ride to the meeting in K the carriage with him: I was the * juest of one of the members of the ai executive committee, who had invited me to ride with him, and his invitation had been accepted as I courteously informed Mr. Tillman when tie isked me to drive with him; and besides this, I have yet to learn that :,he new regime now prevailing in south Carolina forbids a gentleman :o choose his own associates or com panions. The Governor proceeds to say, But he had no busine99 to interfere n this family quarrel.' It seems to ne that every patriotic citizen of our State was called on to deplore and to ieprecate any quarrel amongst brethren whose only hope for the welfare )f the State depenpson concert of action and unity of feeling. But, waiving this question, I assert, without fear jf contradiction, that at the meeting oa? JWUwncB, liurorfar* word, in the remarks I there made war ronfeftiA QQcerfinn fhnt. T fnnk r>ftrtin the unhappy ''family quarrel!" which f has brought such disaster on the State. I came at the request of my ^ old constituent# of Richland to plead ^ or peace and harmony. I expressed no ^ preference for any candidate, no disap- . proval of any, and I appeal to the report of my speech on that occasion, as published, to substantiate my assertion and to prove the falsity of the charge made by Governor Tillman. 'He compared Tillman and his ^ friends to Mahono,' is the next count a in the indictment made against me ^ by the Governor I did nothing of ^ the sort. I warned our people, as I thought my long service in their he- p half justified me in doing, of the dan- ^ gers of dissension in our ranks, and I ^ illustrated my warning by calling at- g tention to the terrible consequences ^ which had befallen Virginia by the quarrel in the Democratic ranks, brought about by the unscrupulous conduct of Mahone. So much for that charge of the Governor, which, t like so many of his on other occa- ^ sious proves to be utterly false. , 'I will tell you,' proceeds the Gov- < ernor, ' where he now is. He is in ( retirement, where he belongs and ( where he ought to be. * * * Hamilton had tauerht us that an In dependent was worse than a Radical. t That depended whether the Independent was his friend or not. If Hampton had simply said that an Independent was still worse that a Radical and that he stood to what he said, he would be in the United States Senate today.' I beg to assure his 'Excellency' that I stand by and reiterate what I said about Independents in our State, and he mu?l pardon me when I say in perfect frankness that I regard*: d him j as an IndeDendent when he "su^- - ^ w gested" himself as a gubernatorial candidate in the famous March convention, and I held then, as I do now* that he and his followers there should have been ruled at once out of the Democratic party. This, however, was not done and as the Democratic Executive Committee unfortunately recognized him subsequently, I stated that I should vote for him. This I should have done, but for a fortunate accident which saved me from what I should always have regarded as an inevitable but unmitigated calamity. -? < i i 1. it.. j 1 reiusea 10 speaiv. on me invitation of Irby, for my experience at Aiken, when the Tillman roughs howled me down, taught me that nothing I could say would touch the i hearts of my fellow-citizens, nor in : flueiice their conduct. I confess it i was with a deep sense of pain and i mortification that I f jund a Carolina i audience refusing me, even a respect ul hearing. I determined then?a letermination to which I have adleredto?that I would not again obrude my advice on my fellow-eitiens on any public question. I am only a private citizen, asking ( Lothing from my State save a last esting place by the side of my kin a [red. j * I am "in retirement where I c elong and where I ought" to s o be," if the verdict of the majority * f the Legislature is endorsed by the t eople of the State. I have made no 1 omplaint as to that verdict, but I "* ssure the Governor that I prefer to 1 ^ e in retirement rather than to hold 1 ffice by the disreputable and dis- t raceful methods resorted to by liini ( ) obtain it. I It my seem strange that I should otice anymmg emanating irom the * Durce of these misrepresentations, a ut t "Fate never wounds more deep a the generous heart, ? Than when a blackguard points ? the dart." ? I hope that those papers in the * tafce which still have the fairness to 1 o justice even to a political oppon- 1 at will give as wide a circulation to ly denial of the slanders uttered by 1 le Governor as was given to them 2 ad I am, very, respectfully.

At the present time the farmers of te West and South are clamoring r fiuaucial relief, and they unquesonably need it under a banking rstem which virtually outlaws them id gives Wall street the control of le currency. Still, we have farmers ho do not complain of hard times? irraers whose pockets are lined with loney all the year round. We should make an object lesson I this fortunate class of farmers nd study their methods. As a rule ley are men who diversify their rons and raise nlentv to eat. whether * * f * ley produce cooton or not. The ucksters, for instance, from Virinia to Florida, are getting along ery well. No cry of distress comes om them, and they do not take as luch interest as they should in the roposed financial legislation, simply ecause they do not feel that they eed any. Then we have another lass?the cautious, industrious fariers who make it a point to live ithin their means, even if they have ) live more plainly for a few years lan their neighbors. This policy in le course of time makes them in epenaent. iney always nave cash a hand, and do not have to go in ebt for anything. Diversified farming, with industry, irict economy and judgment, will take small farmers moderately proserous. whether they live in Maine r Texas, Carolina or California. It will be said that thousands of our HrMillvirH" *riH f i V'-? ? lis course, and have failed to sucked. This is true, but among 65, 30,000 people in any couutry there ill always be many who, on account : ill health, unexpected misfortunes id mistaken judgment, get behind t their affairs. For these unlucky ies there is no remedy. We have steadfastly maintained lat the country needs financial renin, but we cannot ignore the fact tat our people must change their ode of living and working. Until e pay ourselves out of debt, and ve within our means, abandon the lly of risking everything on one op, no financial legislation will give s permanent relief. The farmer ho now buys Northern family and antation supplies will increase his :penditures with an ampler supply currency and will be no better off an he was before. If the Yankees e to get all our money the per pita amount of circulation makes ry little difference. We are approaching a very critical >int in our affairs in this section. we go 011 much longer with the [ cotton folly, it will be impossible retrace our steps, and the country stricts will be turned over to the 'gro tenant farmers, while the iiites will drift the towns and cities go West. Diversified crops, ending our farmers to live at horn e, will >ld them there, and in time the itural increase of population, aided * immigration, will give us plenty home markets and home conimers. Some will say we cannot make this ange; that our debt-ridden farmers e forced to make cotton there main op. \\ ell, we must make tne ange or be ruined, and it is time face the facts of the case. It may very hard to quit buying the luxies and comforts of life when we see r neighbors buying them, but it is tter to make the sacrifice for a few ars than to jog along in the old ly until we reach absolute bankPtcJ Now, these views are perfectly content with our demand for the exnsion of the currency through free ver coinage and State banks, or a v~? ri /I nl A rl fiTrt av f ama!
