The Soldier's Dream.
v
1 dreamed a dream last night, wife;
I thought they'd called the roll,
And I saw the soldier's "fall in line,"
As tiicy used to do of old;
It was a solenm sight, wife?
Their locks were white as snow,
"While an angel gave out badges
And a shining cross you know.
The badges were lor passports, uear.
To cross a sullen stream
That wound just like a serpent
'Round our 'eampinent in my dream;
I heard the angel calling,
"Ye vet'rans fall in line!"
And I saw our columns moving
Like they did in olden time.
Far out within the gloaming.
Upon the bloody plain,
I could see the whit med tombstones
Of the men whom had been slain;
The smoke it seemed had clared away
From the field, heath cloudless skies,
And I heard the angel calling
To the dead to now arise.
Deep trouble came upon me.
For the angel from on high.
In giving out the badges,
J 1 1 1 1..-.
it seeineu iuui mv .
My eyes were sore w ith weeping-.
For I saw death's waters gleam,
And I knew I had no passport
To bear me o'er the stream!
And others, too, were weeping?
One had a precious wife,
A sou and other children,
He loved more than his life;
And others carried bags of gold,
Their forms all bending low.
Thus weiged with life's treasures.
That they could not cross you know.
But I ran and called the angel:
"Please help me o'er the stream!"
For I heard the waves now lashing,
And could see death's water gleaming.
Then flew the angel backward:
"Why laggest thou I pray?
Did'st thou not hear the order
To fall in line today?
Then gave he my passport,
And my joy now did seem
So very great?unutterable?
That it waked me from my dream.
I've been thinking o'er this matter, wife,
Since the dawning of the day:
You see our forms are bending
And our locks have done turned gray.
Our feet are sore and heavy, dear,
And our eyes are getting dim.
But, as we totter down life's pathway
We will put our trust in him;
We'll not falter at death's waters,
We'll not trouble at their gleam.
For God will send an angel,
To bear us o'er the stream!

The readers of this paper will be
please to learo that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
beeo able to core io all its stages, RDd
that is Citarrh. Hall's Catarrh Care
is the ooly positive care feDOwn to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, reqnires
a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Care is taken internally, acting
directly npon the blood and moeons
ear faces of th9 system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by bnildiog up the constitution and
assisting nature in doiag its work

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The weather in our part continues
dry and cool, but ere long me thinks
you'll hear them say its wet and hot;
then such another battle you have
not seen as there will be with Gen.
Green.
We notice in places the peach
treeB are full of fruit and soon we
will be feasting upon peach piee,
flavored with new honey, and hear
the cfficeseeker talk, and see him
spend his money.
Early corn is looking well, and the
stands of later planting are much
better.
Wheat is maturing nicely, but a
much needed rain would improve
mattets much cow. We are looking
iorward to the happy time when we
can feast on apple dumpliDgs and
blackberry pies made from the new
crop. The two atory kind will cans:
the Editor to wrsb he, too, was a
countryman, living cn the farm in
ease, comfort and pleasure. A big
crop cf blackberries is new evident.
The dogwood ha3 been in bloom
for some time, but we have not heard
of the Editor's annual tishiDg expedition.
Maybe since the almost
fatal experience of his last year's
trin on Black creek, which wa3 so
graphically and pathetically sketched
by "Klondyke/' has taught him Dot
to venture there again.
For the information of those inquiring
8bout the new supply of
mail boxes ordered for R. F. D. No.
1, leaving from GastoD, that they
have been t hipped since April 4th,
and are expected at anytime. They
have been delayed by the railroad
some where. We have been informed
that others sre coming in and
accepting the services on thi3 route.
Mr. Editor some of the best people
on earth, yea, the salt of the earth,
are on this route. Why, Mr. Editor,
you just ought to go the rounds a
few times, you would be inclined to
smile a "srnolev wide and grin, a.grin
deeper than that ODe you put on
I when you got that dollar. The dear
! girl! Well, I ought not to mention
j it, I guess, but then Mrs. Felix will
have no objections, I know, but there
are other mails collected from some
of the boxes.other thsn letters, etc
Bouquets, nosegays, flowers, oh m}!
It reminds me of the once happy by
gone days when Billy was in his
sportiDg element and I would not
object for those days to return, just
for a short while at least. And after
awhile it will be fruit and melon
time and, ot! m}! it makes my
mouth sugary and watery like now,
to think of those U. S. mail boxes
containing those nice edibles. Many
thanks, dear girls. They are highly
appreciated by the recipient and may
heavens blessings smile upon ycu.
The concensus of opinion now
seem in favor of Judge Alton Brooks
Parker for President. Parker is a
clean conservative maD, a farmer, and
should he receive the nomination
and be elected, will make a President
of whom the people will be proud.

Whooping Cough.
"in tiif spring ol l'JUl mycMluren liaa
whooping cough," says Mrs. D. W.
Capps. of Capps, Ala. "I used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy with the most
satisfactory results. I think this is the
best remedy 1 have ever seen for whooping
cough." This remedy keeps the
cough loose, lessens the severity and
frequency of the coughing spells and
counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.

' A Sure Thing.
It is said that nothing is sure except
death and taxes, but that is not altogether
true. Dr. King's New Discovery

lung and throat troubles. Thousands
can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. VanMetre.
of Shepherdtown, W. Ya.. says:
"I had a severe case of Bronchitis and
for a year tried everything I heard of but
gof no relief. One Inittle of Dr. King's
New Discovery then cured me absolutely."
It's infallible for Croup,
Whooping Cough, Grip, Pneumonia and
Consumption. Try it. It's guaranteed
