J t TBE AIKEN RECORDER. AIKEX. FEBRUARY 17. •AS THY DAYS. SO BHAL.L. THY STRENGTH BE.” By Mrs. Sigourney. When adverse winds and waves ari«e, And in my heart de*>j*oiid« n'-t- si^lit;; When life*her throng <u' t are reveals, And weakness o'er my spirit steals; Grateful I hear the kintl decree. That "as my day, my strength shall Ik-.” When, with sad footstep, memory roves, ’Mid smitten joys and buried loves; When sleep my tearful pillow flies. And dewy morning drinks my sighs; Still to thy promise. Lord, I nee. That “as niy day, my strength shall be.” On# trial more must yet be passed; One pang—the keenest and the last; And when with brow convulsed and pale, My feeble, quivering heart strings fail. Redeemer, grant my soul to see, That "os her days, her strength shall be.” Hems of Interest. m to believed to have more music than any other city L. tin Al A recent carnival in Denver, Col., 41 the gnesta Appeared in costumes made OpMrely of paper.

Sickles, of the United States Army, was telling some friends a short time ago about his first glimpse of of a mountain lion. He said, “We were living up in the mountains in Colorado, and had qui te a herd of cows, among them one old cow who wore a beil. The cows had been missing for several days, and the boys were out searching, and one afternoon I thought I would try what I could do. So I mounted a pony and rode quite a dis- * tance, when I thought I heard the cow's bell. I dismounted and started to prowl, around among the rocks and bushes. It had been raining during the early j part of the afternoon, and I had an um- j Irella. I tied the pony to a tree and started. After I had gone a short dis tance, I oaught a glimpse of the cows. As I started toward them, suddenly they all lifted their heads, crooked their tails, and started away on the dead run. I was just wonderingw hat frightened them, when I heard a rustling in the bushes behind me. I turned around, and there, not ten feet away, was a big mountain lion, standing on a rook staring at me. I assure you I never felt so bashful in all my Ufa I hadn’t a gun, or even a jack-knifo; and there was that beast staring and getting ready for a spring ! All at once I thought of my umbreUa, and as quick as thought I raised that much-borrowed article and spread it right in Mr. Lion’s face! He didn’t stop to examine, bnt made one great jump clear across a gorge, and when he lighted gave a yell that shook the hills. I saw no more of him. When I got home, the cows were there.” J.L Bowles & Co. 31. TT. E keep the the money. Best Furniture for w *yy7*E keep all the NOVELTIES, keep all the latest STYLES. w stock W. J. RUTHERFORD & CO. -DEAI4ERS IX- E carry the largest and finest ORIGIN OF WRIST. The origin and dite of the first play ing of whist have of late been much dis cussed, particularly in England, where the game receives a degree a;d study well nigh religious. Edmund Hoyle, the earhest writer of any note on whist, commonly called the father of the game, published his first “Short Treaties” about 1743, in his seventieth year. Though educated for the law, he loved cards passionately, and was so skillful a player that he used to receive a guinea a lesson for teaching different games. He spent his days and nights at the card table, which so agreed with him that he lived to be ninety-seven. Whist is supposed to be a development of trump or triumph, played in England at least as early as the reign as Henry VIII. Tramp is mentioned in a ser mon by Latimer, the Sunday before Christmas (1529, and by Shakespeare punning on the word triumph, in "An tony and Cleopatra.” Whist is not named by any writer of the Elizabethan era. The earliest reference to whist is in 1021, in the poems of John Taylor, the water poet In the first edition of Cotton’s “ Complete Gamester ” (1072), no allusion is made to whist, but in the second edition, issued six years later, it is mentioned as a game “ commonly known in England.” Cotton’s saying that the game geto its name from the silence observed iu playing it, although generally accepted, is by many regarded as incon ect The proper name is proba bly whisk. One night a young doctor of Newton Center, Iowa, escorted the daughter of a prominent and wealthy citizen to church. The father of the girl had forbidden her to accompany the young man. When church was out the father lay in wait behind a tree for his daughter’s com panion and jumped out upon him as he passed. He seized the young man by the throat and tore his collar off and the bosom out of his shirt. The old gen tleman then ran away. The doctor went on home with the young lady as though nothing had happened. When she entered the house her father took her to the parlor, and pointing to the doctor’s shirt bosom, which be had tacked to the wall, said : “I intend to have it framed.” On Monday the doctor saw the old gentleman passing his office. The story of the shirt bosom was already known about the village. The young man rushed out, dragged his Sunday night assailant into his office, and com pelled him to take off his white shirk Attaching to it this placard: “A con tribution for a coward, ” he fastened the garment to a pole and hung it out of his office window. Since then the father of the young lady has apologized to the doctor and invited him to call on his daughter as often as he pleases. WHY SHE WAS LOVED. It is related of Mme. De Circourt, at one time a reigning belle in Paris society, that her mother once said to her : “My poor child, you are too ugly for any one ever to fall in love with you.” From this time Mme. De Circourt began to be very kind to the pauper children of the village, the servants of the house hold, and even the birds that hopped about the garden walks. She was al ways distressed if she happened to be unable to render a service. This good will toward everybody made her the idol of the city. Though he'* complexior was sallow, her gray eyes small and sunken, yet she held in devotion to her the greatest men of her time. Her un failing interest in otLefs made her, it is said, perfectly irresistible. (M. LOMBARD & CO, FOUNDRY, ^lachiiie ami Boiler Works -AXD- MILL AXJ) rxaixi: HOUSE.
