YOURSTRULY. by mrs. m. l. rayne. "Amazin Grace," said Mrs. Pilsbury, as she sat with her daughter at their afternoon sewing, "be yew goin' to piece a quilt?" "What for, mother?" "Why ain't Mr. Van Vleet been to see ".you twice't runnin' lately? He's axed ye, I B'pose, to hev him ?" "An51 guv him the mitten." "Sho I You wouldn't be half so silly I Why, he's wnth a dozen ordirary men. You mought go futher and far? wuss." "Jest what I'm goin' to dew." "Did yew tell him so ?" "No, I writ; now, mother, let me be; I ain't a goin' to marry no man thet thinks I'm jumpin' et the chance. I'd a heap rather be an old maid." There was nothing said for some time ; then the widow asked: "When did yew write, 'Mazin ?" "A day or so past." "Where did you git a pen ?" "I borrowed one. Mebbe you'd like to know what I said tew him." "You've guessed rite," said the widow eagerly. "It ain't nutbiu to nobody but as, mother, s'long es I d'in't have him," said the girl curtly, and no more was said, but the widow sighed heavily and held her hand to her left side. Amazin knew that it meant her heart, for. she had-been brought up to respect that organ as an intimidating power. This time she did not relent, but wonder? ed why she could not like that big, good ? looking Van Vleet well enough to marry him, for they were poor, poor as that historic church mouse, and be was well off. But they were not mercenary. People called them simple folks; perhaps be? cause they lacked education, and believed every thing that was told them. But they were good as gold. The widow's face and form, lank and ungainly, were familiar in every sick room. They ren? dered onto Csesar the things tbat were Caesar's. They owed no man anything, though they worked early and late to accomplish it. They were good to every? body and everything, and Amazin Grace ?her mother had named her after the hymn beginning, "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sou nd"?was real ly pretty. So thought big, hoiking, shame-faced Van Vleet, when he came a courting her, with his trcusers tucked into cowhide boots and a coon-skin cap tied down over his ears. She was the only girl he was afraid of, aod he wasn't afraid of her, come right down to it. He was an honest, decent chap, with a flstTH&e a "sledge hammer and a "heart like a child's. He wanted Amazin Grace, and he.couldn't imagine any reason why he should, not have her. When he got her aimple.little letter, of refusal, written out with infinite difficulty and spelled on a new plan of phonetics, he read it over and over, smoked his cob pipe, read the letter again, grinned a good bit, then folded it reverently, and put it in the pocket nearest his heart. "That's all rite, my girl," he chuckled. A couple of months passed away. One peculiarity of time is that it treats all people alike. -It does not fly from some and stand still with others. It was spring at the Van Vleet farm, which was one mass of apple and cherry blossoms, and it was spring at the Widow Filsbury's little lean-to house, without shrub or blossom. The widow looked out of the window and' sighed. She had never heard the "Song of the Shirt," but she had sang it. all her life. It was her bread and butter. .? there's Van Vleet!" she exclaimed, looking up from her lap-board. "Well, I declare! What brings him here?" "Fraps he's comin'to ask yew to hev him, mother," said Amazin Grace, laughing, while a sweet flush of pink stained her round cheeks. , "iVwishhe should 1" said the widow, devoutly; "I should consider it wus flyin' in the face of Providence not to marry such a man?if he asked me." But Mr. Van Vleet stalked in with a brief Kgood:day," threw aa armfal of blossoms into the lap of Amazin Grace, and said: . .^Pm ready for a weddin'." ??-'^d.yoa-git'my letter?" asked the girt". :; "Yep r It warn't; to say, lovin', bat I took yer meanin'. "I've fenced in the hull north lot/and furbushed the house ? up, so yer wouldn't know it, anr I kalcu late ef we kin git: married next week, it won't interfere with my spring work? hey?" Amazin. Grace set back and looked the picture of surprise. The widow thought she heard the cat in the pantry and dis? creetly withdrew. As the door closed Farmer Van Vleet took two little red j hands in his, and bending farward gave Amazin Grace an awful smack. "That seals the bargain," he said, but the indignant girl jumped up and order? ed him out of the house. To her aston? ishment he didn't budge a step. "Not much! I reckin I've a right to kiss jrer now," he said boldly?then he stepped to the door and called loudly: "Mother 1 kam'here 1" The widow must have been conveni? ently near, for she almost fell into the room at his first word, and he bestowed another sounding smack on her. "It's all rite," he said, "me an' Amaz? in Grace is goin' to be married, and you kin dance at the weddin'." "Bat?bat the letter," gasped the girl. You ain't understood a word of itl" "The factis/' said Van Vleet, "I ain't had ho education to speak of; been too busy grubbin' land all my life. I didn't raly read the letter to sense it, but when I see how you signed it that was enuff for me." T kuowed yoa wouldn't hev writ that way to a feller ye weren't goin* to marry. I don't know much about gals, bat! know that I? ?:, When it was ail settled tbat tbey were to be married the next week, Sunday, Farmer Van Vleet rode off, and the two women pat away the lap-board, and re? signed the universal shirt making busi? ness forever. "I'd give the world to know what I writ to him," said Amazin' Grace. -"The world ain't yourn tew give," cor? rected her mother, piously. "I'm sart'in sure I told him no," said the girl, "but I reckon he was bound to hev me, an' I dunao ez I'm half sorry, either*, now." When they were married aod Amazin Grace and her mother bad gone out to the new home in the smart new spring wagon, the bride returned to the subject of the letter. "I hev a buroin't cur'osity to know what I writ," she said, "cause" (blush? ing prettily) "I thought I riflused you." "Oho, I guess not," said the trium? phant lover. "Look-a here, Mrs. Van Vleet, here's the letter. Tain't but a few words. There ain't no 'ticular mean in'in. them, but its the signing of them. Do yoa see that ? Them two words wouId Staad in law to mean plain yes; there's no gittin' around them!" Amazin Grace and her mother both read at once: "Mr. Van Vleet: "Dker Sir: I am sory to inform you that your attensbuns are in nowise Eecipperkated. Yures trewly, "Amazin Grace Pillsbury." "That fetched me," said Mr. Van Vleet, looking admiringly at bis new possession. "I doan't kno' much, but I means reckon I kin tell what a girl when she writes to a feller and signs herself "Yures trewly.' "?Detroit Dree Press. ?

His regiment was marching tbrough Louisiana by forced marches; for it is a solemn matter of fact that the first troops that went out from Texas were in very much of a hurry because they feared the war would be over before they reached the tented field. They were afraid the Virginians would swindle them out of their share of glory in taking Washing? ton.^ While the Northern people were talking about a ninety days' war, the Texans thought it hardly worth while to start out, as the war would be over before tbey could get a chance to strike a blow. But to the story, which is given in the language of the newspaper man himself: "Just before dark one afternoon, we passed a comfortable looking farm house, the owner of which was busily engaged with a very anxious expression of coun? tenance and a long pole in driving a number of pigs under the house. The impression that forced itself upon us, on observing this conduct, was that he thought the pigs would be safer and last longer, as far as his selfish wants were concerned, under bis immediate super? vision than in any place where we could get at them. One of my comrades, who was trudging aloDg by my side, Bob Beasley, a proud, higbstrung, sensitive fellow, but as honest, nevertheless, as the day is long, was stung to the quick by the action of the farmer; and turning to me, Bob said, "That is an insult to our sacred cause and to every honest man in the regiment. Let us resent it. Let us teach this man to respect us. Let's go back there to-night and steal one of his darned old hogs to show him that we won't stand any of his insinuations." I saw that Bob's feelings were hurt by the ungenerous conduct of the rustic and endeavored to calm him down, but in vain. His blood was up. I agreed to assist him in wiping out the insult, on condition that I should have one-half of the pork. We camped a few miles from the house, and that night, although we were very tired, we cheerfully trudged back to the house, where we had seen the farmer trying to steal the pigs from us. We quietly called a council of war and agreed upon a campaign plan. It was thought best not to make any un? necessary noise, as it might induce the farmer to come out and still further irri? tate us. All we really wanted was the hog. Bob Beasly was to crawl through the hole under the house and drive the hogs oat, because he was more familiar with the habits of bogs than I was. I was to assume an offensive position, with a club, at the outside of the hole, and as soon as a hog came out I was to stun him with a blow, after which he was to be despatched and carried to camp. Bob crawled in on all-fours and pretty soon I heard a hog scrambling toward the hole. I drew back my club; and just as the porker came out through the hole I gave him a tremendous blow. Bob.beasley gave a grunt, for he was the hog. I had only dislocated his shoulder instead of knocking his brains out. The farmer, it seems, had added insult to in? jury by removing his hogs from under the house. He aid not think they were ' safe even there. "Bob expressed himself very forcibly. He used language to which no soldier should use to a comrade. He was evi? dently much disappointed at not finding the hogs under the house. In the excite? ment of the moment I spoke emphatical? ly in a low- tone of voice of what I thought of the conduct of the farmer. I had a good notion to inform the colonel of our regiment, and have the agricultu? ralist imprisoned as a traitor. I should certainly have denounced his treachery, but I was afraid if I said anything about the affair our motives for trying to ki.l the hog might have been misconstrued. I volunteered to carry Bob Beasley to camp on my back, which was only two or three miles off. I would not have volunteered if Beasley had not given me his solemn word of honor that he would assassinate me if I did not carry him cheerfully. When I got to camp I had acquired a permanent curvature of thespiue, which is one of the offerings I cheerfully laid upon the altar of my country. Our de? votion to principle was not appreciated by our Colnrades who would jeeriogly call out 'How's your hog?' whenever we passed along the line. From that hour I instinctively felt that the cause of the confederacy was hopeless."?Texas Si/t? ings. Agricultural Creed* If farmers must have a creed, the one adopted by Canada farmers, in conven? tion assembled, is good enough. It might be amended a little, but rather than risk spoiling a good thing, we give it just as we find it going the rounds: "We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation ; we believe that the soil lives to eat, as well as the owner, and'ought, therefore, to be well manured ; we believe *-in going to the bottom of things, and, therefore, deep ploughing and enough of it?all the better if it be a subsoil plough; we believe in large crops which leave the land in better condition than they found it, making both the farm and tbe farmer rich at once; we believe every farm should own a good farmer; we believe that the fer? tilizers of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence?without these, lime, gypsum and guano would be of little use; we believe in good fences, good farmhouses, good orchards, and good children enough to gather tbe fruit; we believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy, and a clean conscience: we believe to ask a man's advice is not stooping, but of much benefit; we believe that to keep a place for everything and everything in its place saves many a step, and is pretty sure to lead to good tools, and to keeping them in order; we believe that kindness to stock, like good shelter, is saving of fodder; we believe that it is a good thing to keep an eye on experiments, and note all good and bad ; we believe that it is a good rule to sell grain when it is ready; we believe in producing the best butter or cheese and marketing it when it is ready." rri A Life-Long Debauch. "No, I'rrf obliged to you, I don't drink," replied Judge Gibbons, of Lan? caster, in 'fhe bar-room of the Girard House. "P am 63 years old and have never used tobacco in any form, never have tasted malt or spirituous liquors, never have been at a horse race or at? tended a circus or a theatre." "Yours has been an exemplary life, Judge," replied tbe Times man. "Well, I don't know that it has," con? tinued the Judge, sadly. "I am, after all, no better than other men ; for the past forty-eight years I have been the abject slave to one ungovernable appe? tite. This indulgence has gained such absolute control of me that I can not exist four or five hours without gratify? ing it. I resolve and re-resolve to break it oft', but I am weak?and finally yield. I can not go half a day without it. No, I daren't travel where I can't obtain it. It is killing me. Twenty years ago I weighed 220pounds. Now I weigh 120. It is destroying my life, slowly but sure? ly. I shall die of it." "What form does this deadly dissipa tion take?" asked the reporter, in amaze? ment, prepared for an appalling con? fession. "Mush and milk," was tbe solemn and humiliating rejoinder. ? "But can any one who has never reached man's estate feel tbe blighting agony of au error that the victim must understand alone ?" asks a modern phi? losopher. No, respected sir; no person but the man who bursts his Ruspender button in a crowded drawing-room can do that. The Signer and His Dogs. I was stopping at the house of a young planter, who owned a very fine hound, but as he was not a hunter he had no affection for bis hound, which was over fond of spending his time in the woods, instead of remaining at home to please his master. An old darkey on the plan? tation owned four cur dogs, and the youug planter, thinking he would be better pleased with a big, bob tailed "yaller" dog than he was with his fine hound, decided to go down to "Uncle" Henry's cabin and make a trade, being fully convinced that "Uncle" Henry, who was quite a hunter, would jump at the chance of getting a genuine hunting dog for one of his curs. I accepted an invita? tion to go along and witness the trade. We found "Uncle" Henry in his "truck patch," adjoining the house, leaning on his hoe to see what his dogs were bark? ing at when we arrived. "Uncle Henry," said the owner of the hound, "I have come down to give you a good dog trade," and as one of the dogs, asimon pure cur, came up wagging his stub tail, he added, "I will give you my fine hound for this dog, as I don't need a hunting dog and only want a dog to lay around the yard to frighten tramps." "Well, Mar's Bill}', I'se alerse ready for a trade, and willin' to oblige you," said Uncle Henry, "but I'se gwiue to tell yer poin'dly dat'hit will be many a day before Uncle Henry and dat dog parts, unless some one knocks one of us on de head. Why, Mar's Billy, he's my main coon dog." "But Uncle Henry," said he, "you have three others, besides this hound of mine will make a better hunting dog than either of your four." Pointing to one of the others he said, "Well, I will trade for that one." "I couldn't think of letting tbat one go, 'cause he's my main 'possum dog and besides he's got such a frenly sort of way wid him, I sorter feel like he's some kin to us. De ole woman neber would quit calling me all sorter hard names if 1 let dat dog go out ob de family." "I don't want your coon dog nor your 'possum dog," said the planter; "I just want a dog to lay about the house, and I don't care if he is good for nothing, and I am willing to give you a good, young hound for your poorest dog. Trade me that one," he said, pointing to one of the others. "NowJ I spects dat houn' am mighty peert an' I declare I would like to hab him, but dat dog you looking at wouldn't be no good to you anyhow, for he won't hunt nor do nufiin but some sort of mean? ness. He'll steel de hot meat outen de pot or de bread off de table e!,ejy time he gets a chance, an' de ole woman and ebery one else dat comes about here done abuse him so much hit looks like I'm de only Hen' he's got left. I gits awful mad when I sees him a toting off a hot piece of bacon de ole woman cooked for my supper, but v?'hen dey all beat him an' he comes up to me to befren' him I can't help liking him wid all his meanness. I reckon I'se de only fren' he's got iu de world, and I knows if he goes up to your house he an' de missus gwine to hab trouble an' de poor dog will git killed." "Well, Uncle Henry," said the planter, "why not trade for the othei one ?" "Mar's Billy," said Uncle Henry, "I neber would a believed you'd er ax me to part wid dat ole dog. Why he's nigh onto twelve years ole, and don't you re? collect when you was a boy, and 'Uncle Henry' was straighter and a heap younger 'en what he is now, de happy days and nights me and dat o!e dog used to spend down in de bottom ? Part wid dat ole dog? Why, Mar's Billy, if eber I git to be so mean I hopes de sperets ob de coons and de'possums dat ole dog has cotched for me won't let me sleep. You mought as well talk about parting me and de ole woman as to talk about part? ing me and dat ole dog. As long as dere's a little meal and bacon in de cabin, dar am three ob us what will divide hit, an' dats me and de ole woman an' de ole dog.?American Field. ?

At 10 a. m., a very respectable compa? ny of fantastics made iheir appearance and continued to ride through the streets during the day, to the amusement of the crowd. About 3 p. in., some one sug? gested thatlheday's sport would be wound up with an old-fashioned "gander pull? ing." Every one h.*s doubtless read in "Georgia Scenes" of the manner in which the first settlers of Georgia amused them? selves in this rather barbarous sport, and at this time but few of the oldest inhabi? tants can remember having been at a gander pulling. An ancient gander was procured, his neck stripped of feathers and well greased. A rope was stretched across Oak street, just below the News building, the gander's feet firmly tied together and swung on the rope iu the middle of the street when the fantastics began and carried on the gander pulling with their horses at full speed. For some time the gander managed to dodge the grasp of the riders, but occasionally one would give him a pull, until finally one got a good grip on him and broke tho gander's neck. In a few more rounds Mr. H. came off victory by carrying the gander's head with him, and the gander pulling was ended. The sport was wit? nessed by a large crowd of whites and blacks of all ages and sexes.?Jackson County [Ga.) Herald. "Ruclm-Paiba."

'Die following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1S32 I was altacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, vhen I got so weak that I could not gel. about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse." I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re? storer. They sent to Ward's .Store and got a bottle and 1 commenced tukiug it right aw vy. After tak? ing two or three doses, I began lo improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my lite and my neighbors arc of the same opinion. It is the beat Lung Remedy ever made in my opin? ion. Dr. 11. promised mc that he would write to the man fact urers and tell them of the wonderful cure It made iu my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton, The attending physician told me thai ne thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her Btom* ach. I then agreed with Dr;Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway iu consultation. They i"ade a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Holloway then suggested the Drewer'? Lung Restorer as a last icsort. I sc.- for a bot lie and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement iu her condition 1 continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two buttles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. 1 believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We haven family of six children, some of them grown.''
