BETSY HAMILTON'S LETTE?.
Tum Davis Tells Delny Sin? Looked Pretty
und Kneel.
Atl'inla Constitution, >
HILLABBE, TALLADEGA CO., ALA,
Dcar Combi : I was in hope* at tor Tum
?Davis hearn what Flurridy 'Jennys
'said about him that Sunday even in' at
our house, that he'd have t-cnse cnoiigh
to take tho hint and stay away, but lie
can't be knocked down. Muddy lows
ho's wusser'n a tarrapin for holdin'on;
'if a tarrapin bites he holds on tel it thun
ders if you don't ? hoke him oil'. His
hair had" been crapped lo the skin of his
head, and when it sot in to grawin' out
agin thar was one onruly lock that *tood
o?tsti?l'all to itself ou top of his head
and made him look like a sheered rabbit.
Ho tried to grease it down with U meat
skin, but it wouldn't stay down no way
he'd fix it. it w?rricd aud tormented
him turrihlc. Last one Sunday he primpt
hissclf to come to sec me, and nc wan,
bent and determined to make that ar lock
lay down. Jle worked with it, and swot
ted over it, and jt wouldn't stay ; il riz
upngin every limo. He lowed if shouldn't
outdo him no longer; he knowed what
would stick it. So he turned in, lie did,
and taken pome of these home linnie
'lattesand smeared 'emull over his heidi
and they heit that lock down tight, I tel!
you ; every har stayed righi wbar ho stuck
it; and when he como in 1 didn't ?kucely
kno/v him. Cap Dewberry was thar a
settin' up to me, and aa quick as he sut
eyes on Tom he let in to langhin'. Then
he dragged his cheer to tot her ec nd of
the entrv to git out n the way nod net in
to talkiu' tu C'uledoiiy. 1 sued the devil
ment in Cal's eyes, and Cap he was muH
takin' a lit, KO glad to git sutnpen lo
plague nie about.
I Was mad as leonid be, and tic-kkd
to death, too, kase Tom was so plum sat
isfied with bisself. Alter mo and him
howdye'd he giggled and his face turned
red. Ile allers laughs over nothing.
Then he axed me, "Miss Betsy, what fur
a time did you havo at tho show 1 Hid
you soe thein hy-nce-niesy and did you
seo tho street progade? I seed you,"
says he, "and you looked mighty sweet,
too. And I knowed in reason I must
er. for it was a rai ni u' hard as it could j (
nour, and my coat'ail was all drabbed iu j u
mud up to my knee.-?." ?e ^aid * looked j tj
sweet and I nevcr?Ienied it, bul when ho
up and lowed, "Miss Uutsy, I think you
air the smartest gal I ever seen," I wanted
to ax him how 'pon tho yeal h tie knowed,
for ho has got about tho least sense of
any ignnnt feller I know.
J had a turriblo grudge agiu Tom.. llo
had knocked me out'u gwinu lo thc Hing
in' twico't hand-gwine, and onee't to lim
sorghum strettbin' at old Miss Goodcn's.
Ho had axed mc to incept of his company
and I jist wouldn't go at all, lease Slaw
she thought sich a power of old Miss
Davis (Tom's Maw) that shu didn't 'low.
mc to slight him, Tom he fetched his
Kclf hero every Sunday, raia or shino,
jiat when I w aa a look-in' for Cap Dew
berry or Iky Roberson, and if they'd seo
him in the entry they'd lay whip lo thor
critters aud gallop hy, and it cut me HO I
fairly hated Toni Davis.
That Sunday ho sot fhcin' mo with Iiis
hack to Cal and them, and they kep a
laughin' and a crookin' thor fingers at
me. It was a bot cronin' and I thought
niebbo it was a fixin' to rain, for I nnver
Eeed tho Uko of llief, und n o dou't ingen
iiorlv have many flies.
"How do you like tho name of Uci-iy
Davis?" says boa hittin'nt the Hies.
"Tho flies is mighty had," says I lori
seed they was n pest cri u' of him power
ful. "I come hero Ibis cvenln'," hays hu,
(siappin* the flios) "to nx you (hittin'at
'cm a little harder) to nx you if you
didn't want lo ho Mis.s Davis," says he,
(fighlin' tho flies with both hands and
5?cratchin' h?j head), "I been a iovlu'
you eversenso tho (hittin' the Hies) log
rollin' nt old man Hasher's." Then ho
slapped at hi? hoad and neck and face,
but they 'peared to como in droves from
ovenvhan , and his head begun to look
like a swarm of bees-tho moro he fit 'em
tho wusser they got. I looked at tolhcr
cond of tho entry and thar soi Caledony
and Cap jest a killin' they fool solves a
iaughin'. Tom hu fit ' hnrder'u eve*.
"What'HgOt into tho liles?" soys 1; "I
never seed 'em so bad, 'pears liku they
aro tryin' to eat you barbarously uj>,"
sayH I, Ho scratched his head and lowed:
"I dunno what thoy want cr nie, I halal
so sweet; looks Uko they had orter bito
you inslid er mo. Hit ahorely aintine
thoy aro alter ; hit must be theso hero
fool 'lasses I've greased my head with,
(and he hU^em faater'n ever) and I reckon
the onlyest way to git Bhet of 'cm ia to
go to the branch and wash 'em off. I
know in reason they are jist what'd a
drawin' theso tarnaital Hies," u> d with
that he riz and went to tho branch. Ho
nevor raid good oven in'nor Doth in1 to
nobodv, and w.o. lowed he wai a comln'
back, but ho never.
Tho neir,$ Sunday here he como - agin ;
I had dpne'made np-iny mind I'wasn't

longer. I lowed to gin him his walkin'

Why Worry L
What is thc usu of care aud worry ?
usl so far as they aro necessary to slim
late activity, limy are beneficial: but
bo moment they go beyond that they are
jtual hindrances I suppose that more
lian one-half of all the suffering ol hu
mility is suffering on account of things
liai never happen. 1 think it you will
jok back und go over your life, and win
ow it when you luke out all thc fret and
orry Lhat n.-ally made you unhappy,
nd dept i ved yen of bright gleaming joy,
ou will find that it was the things which
over happi ned that'ybu 'Worried about,
think you will ?ind on the other,hand,
lal half of the good thiog* that have
..ally befallen you werg things that you
ever dreumed of. Il was the uncxpeel
J that cunio without your anxiety ; and
ie thing? which you- were fretting and
orrying and twisting about incessantly,
nd windi you allowed to take away the
cace of your mind, and oftentimes to
ike away your.nerve, aud unfit you lor
io hallie of lifo, were things that did
ot come near you. You never learned
otu ono day lo another in thal matter,
'ou fretted on Monday j us?as you did on
uuday, and on Tuesday just as you did
u Monday, aud on Wednesday just as
ju did on Tuesday, and so on, year after
car You never leam anything about
tat. A man who attempted to mend
kettle would jenni in an hour that
rery time he put a hut iron to it ho
ludo ii bigger hole lhau he mended, and
lier a lew trials ho would give that up.

What a puzzle the lit?<?cn?u*d& m the domestic economy.
How the mother gives of her own life and strength to support the hie
of her blessed little youngster !
1 low the child kicks, and laughs, and crows !
I low the chud grows, and is heavier and heavier every d;iy.
And yet she lifts him, and tosses him. and plays with him, and takes
care of him by day and by night
Is it any wonder the mother breaks down? Her back arhes. l ier
stomach fails bel. Her liver is bad. Her blood is thin, and she says she
feds iKXJrly. Yes, yes, poorly-very -poorly. Give mother a bottle o
Jirtrun's Bon Hitters. She needs the- iron i-i her blood, which that w.J
put there. She must have strength, or s!-c will be a confirmed old invalid.
Bren n's Bon Bitters h<'.ps worn hr.d weary women into new lite,
cheerfulness, and vigor. Te? all the-1.:-/.!.. rs you know. j
