C., Jan. 1, 1893. Boply to "W. A. W." e r To the Editor of the Dispatch: I c Allow me space in Your paper to ? reply to 4kW. A. W." Well, my dear g young friend, where have you been: all'this time? Sparking some of those ^ junior girls, I suppose. I am not discontented neither am I conplaim- ^ ing about the wife being older than ^ the husband. It is certainly you ^ complaining and not myself. I have ^ jaid, and will say again, never mind the age. I did not say that tha wife : r reverse. I said both should travo^ j* life's narrow road together. A hus- E band can gain his ends just as well, j; and better, with a wife older, or as j. old as himself. ^ You seem to look forward to married life as being a great deal of trouble. You should not do this. I ^ speak from experience and you have { had no experience yet. You also i seem to think a good part of the time will be spent in murmuring and complaining all caused called from a disagreeable temper. No trait of \ character is more valuable in wife or ( husband than the possession ] o bmnflr. Home can never j UA w? OITWv be happy without it. It is like the j flowers that spring up in our path- ^ way reviving aDd cheering us. A , sweet temper has a soothing influence j : over the whole family. Let us all ; study to acquire and retain a sweet , temper, and never mind the age. As for widows I have but little to aay, for reasons I will fully explain. First, the age of a boy and girl is our subject; second, my dear mother was a widow at the time she married I my father, and I do not wish to I throw any reflection upon herwkat? a. ever. The queen tnat sits upou mc throne of home, crowned and seep tered as noDe other ever can be, is? mother. I will add, I have head mother speak very often of her former husband, but never said he taught her for the present husband^?father. AH the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less with a companion' of a sweet disposition, to say nothing of the age. I wish for the young [ readers of the Dispatch to fully un; derstand me, I did not say that it would be best for them to marry an I average wife. I said marry for true | love and never mind the age. I am 0 i j indeed pained to know tbat my menu I <4W. A. W." thinks that I did not i give the young people of Lexington | county the credit of being well in;! formed upon any subject. I have traveled a great deal and would not j^notr where to go to find a more loyal and thrifty set of sons and beautiful | and intelligent daughters than in ; Lexington county. Any young person winning the heart and hand of a Lexingtonian will start married life with a fortune beyond value. I have visited good old Lexington several ! times and always enjoyed my trip to i the highest degree. Now, my friend, I said a companion with a cheerful disposition, kind and affectionate to one and all, would never grow old before her time, while one of a cross, snappish nature would grow old, as you said, old before her time. This is exactly what t r.nlv rmf the wronfrcon t- jpv. - ? c ' sfcruction on it. Jf ft pian marries ' an average girl and is guided with double lines by her, the yoke will n.ot ; be any harder to bear than if he would marry a younger and uae* perienced girl, and have to lead her { with both hands. A husband should | always be ready to coine into accord with the opinions of his better half, for, believe me, she will not tell you anything to your disadvantage. I will agree with you, it is best for a man j Ia V\nr?A arA Ar? ah aV\ a^ ATI?T> VKJ iiti ? C >T XDVaUJLLl CiiUUgU UI lllO U"li? but if he has not and have asked the opinions of his wife, would it not be the best to take the advice of an average wife than a younger one? Yes, it takes a shrewd shop keeper, lawyer or any one else to get ahead j of the average lady, and this always makes the gentlemen feel proud to see the ladies that never get left. Marriage is one of the most solemn j events this side of the grave, therefore I say, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church." Man is the head of the f family, and he rules his wife by aubhority and she rules him by love; ^ she ought by all means please him, ^ ind he must by no means displease ^ tier. Make the leap into matrimony ^ Dravely and with a cheerful determi- g nation to be a credit to vourself and , I i blessing to your partner, and never ^ nind the age. There is no greater ^ >r more profound reality than love. ^ rhere is no nobler possession than f ;he love of another. There is no E nghei gift from one human being to mother than love. The gift and the x>ssession are true sanctifiers of life ^ tad should be worn as precious jewWith cuch love would we stop >ne moment to think of the age? My friend, you are right, a daily irchange of confidence and mutual Ii espect for each others' opinions, will lo much toward making the wheels ^ if any domestic establishment run moothly. Confidence and mutual especfc are the most graceful accom- F >aiments of courtship and should tever be forgotten in marriage. It 3 not after marriage alone that mu- jj ual confidence forms the surest ? ottndation of real and enduring" &f-; actions. Without this element jvr- a; aanent happiness is impossible. y novcnna antarinrr infn tv)\h i ulJ-la*,*T oretaste of heaven's trueTRHBpa ^ tever mind the age, trusting, ^jPIt- n ag each to each what but death^An. c art them, and in the spirit can ev6n v leath? /i.sij Just as long as I am asked a/quesion I am willing to answer,. but I vill close by saying to the readers of a he Dispatch and my friend "W.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: As political matters has somewhat abated, I will take up a subject of more importance, and that is religion. Scripture tells us that pure and un defiled before God and the Father is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in. their afflictions and. to keep himself unspotted from the world is religion. I have searched the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation and that is the only verse that tells what religion is; why then are so many ways preached and practiced called religion. Religion then is to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions. Count up how many fatherless and widows just around your homes. Do we visit them when thev are in need or sick, ' %r if we do not we have no religion. Besides, we are to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. I am no minister, neither am I a stump sucker but the way I understand the word unspotted is, every sin we commit is a spot. We should be careful and try to keep off these spots. I fear that there are many wbo not only have a spotted but a speckled soul. Should this be the case, you have no religion. A man or woman that has religion will not only show it at phurch, but every clay during the week. I have known persons to go tc church for weeks and claim to be i Christians, but, alas, when they get I home no religion is there. Religior that don't last only during meetings isn't, worth having. Some peoph i think just so we show our religioi at church that is sufficient. Tha won't do. We cannot serve two mas ters; we cannot serve God on Sun day and during the week the devil I" and expect to go to heaven. Ministers should be very careful what they preach and teach, and if they have any ridicule or censure, or anacdotes to tell, let them tell them before going into the sacred desk, because, when we co to church we emeet tn _ 0 - ? - ?r? ! hear nothing but the pure word of God. The minister is tbe sheperd of the sheep, if they call their congregation off of the track and carry them into tue ditch they will be responsible. * uood Looks.

It isn't every cat that has the good fortune to come into a settled income but that pleasing distinction from the rest of his race is enioved bv an s y ?/ animal attached to the Produce ex change staff. He has had the job of looking after the mice and rats on the big exchange floor ever since his kittenhood, and be is now nearly a full grown oat and a sizable one as well. Grain samples are sure to attract the rodents, and the Produce exchange 'did not secure exemption from their visitis. Traps were tried with some success, but the relief thus obtained was only temporary, and it was finally decided to resort to a cat. ' To secure one which would not run away at the first opportunity itWas deemed wige to obtain a kitten, wfcjfh^JJtving no exnrience oLthe deiflHHmnlxLi?M The theory of tb??Tia8 proved to he correct. The cat /iever leaves the main floor of the building, and ap parently is satisfied with the hunting ground it offers, spending the nights there with praiseworthy regularity. At 9 o'clock each morning he gives up business and seeks rest in a car. peted corner of the superintendent's office. When the gong rings at 3 nVWlr to warn the brokers that the exchange day is over the cat starts out to patrol his beat, making a leisurely circuit of the hall, and com pleting it about the time that the last stragglers are disappearing. He is a good hunter, and eclipses the achievements of the traps, his presence on the floor at Dight having resulted in rendering the rats and mice far less of a nuisance than they were. His pay comes in the shape cf regular rations, jhile a polished metal collar about his neck shows that he is the "official" cat of the exchange.? New York Times.

Ife'd been wounded ft couple of tii before, and was a brave man and a good one, too. I said what I could in the line of sympathy,-telling him that it was the fate of war, and that all his old comrades would follow him sooner or later, It was only a matter of a few days, anyhow. "I want you to do me a favor, Captain," he said, the death sweat on his forehead shining like beads in the fitful gleam of a candle we had lighted. ''Of course I'll do it, my boy,'* I said. "There's my knapsack and canteen,' he choked pitifully, "take them or send them to my poor old father and mother up in Vermont. Tell 'em that their only son died like a soldier on the field of battle. Tell them that I died thinking of them and?and?and there's another matter, another??" . Here a streamaj me.4 "Another matter," be gasped, "another matter. ^ Reach down in my blouse and get a picture that is there." I did as dircted, and saw in the faint light that the card bore the face of a young woman. "It's?it's the girl I was going to marry!" sobbed the dying man. cTell her that I died with my lipe on hers! Put the picture on my lips, Captain, that I may?may kiss it!" He kissed the senseless cardboard over again, and though I turned my face reverently away I caught a glimpse of the lovelit eyes that told his devotion. As he caressed the likeness for the last time the am* * - ~ b WAd buiance drove up uuu uc woo tenderly loaded in for the hospital where his last moments might be at any rate a little less painful than on the rough rock-strewn battle ground. The first chance I got I sent that knapsack and that sweet face to the one who loved the soldier. That isn't all of the story. In October, if I recollect aright, just before the battle of Altoona, and after Gen. Hood swung round to Grant's rear, I was riding along a very dusty road with my company. Suddenly I saw a spectacle before me that nearly knocked me off my horse. There, in the middle of the road with his arms - - * -L __ All . L wildly waving toward me, was mai same dying soldier. His head. was bandaged up, and when he spoke his voice was much impeded. "I've got a furlough," he said, trying to grin good-naturedly, but failing because of the bandages round his face. 'Tve got a furlough and I'm going home to rnary that girl.' And he did. ? ' Should Doctors Harry? Medical Record: North Caroling is being agitated over the questior xvhptVipr the doctor should marry A misgenic gentlemen, Dr. Oscai McMullen, seems to think he shoulc not. This blow at the rights and oppor tunties of woman is tempered witl the statement that the doctor doe! not wish to "take one gem from th< i jewelled crown of pure and beaute ous womanhood." He belongs t< "that majority who believe that, 0 all the beneficent gifts from the orea ; tive hand of God, a woman, pure an< ( I good excels them all, and is mor i beautiful than *any other form o > j T . | matter ever seen on land or sea, i: > ! flower or gem or living thing.'" ) !

Yet despite this glowing tribute ^ Dr. McMulIen thinks that woman is the cause of many professional fail ures, and that she should be taken very cautiously. A loving and angelic wife may, he thinks, be a trifle exacting; and the cherubic infant sometimes preduces insomnia, men- 6 tal uniest, and a condition generally not suited to serious study and work. ^ c We fear that the doctor is to some extent right. The wife of a physi- 11 cian has always a good deal to dis turb her ideal both of household economy, domestic comfort, and connubial companionship. It re- ^ quires some patience and devotion to accept all the irregularities ^ and preoocupation of her husband's life with equanimity. There has to a u t ' r C] be some compromise, or friction re- . suits, and then work is difficult. However, it does not do much ^ond C< - / TT7 f> to philosophic for young doctors foil in love like other mortals and ^ then reason and experience count for but little.

But as he and a foreman were walking near the f mines, he noticed a beautiful white s flower. Its petals were pure as if it v were blooming in a daisy field.
