AUNT POLLY. .Suu'/'ii, Wir?. Sin- was always fair, lat anil .*>?) more or less-ever since I knew her, and 1 would ant for worlds have it otherwise, fm- did not most people love Aunt I'..!ly? True there were sonic, and a good many nf thom, who used to say, "How peculiar! "What an oddity!" . Such a curiosity !" Ami so she was. all of it, but lo r worst enemy never -aid she wa- not kimi and generous t?> a fault, with a heart as big as her great l>ig body; in it like must hearts thal ac eoiumodatc but a limited number nf sehet, or selected, people. Uer.- wa il ve ritable indiarubbcrsack that could hold all thc world if need bc; high and 1 low, rich and poor, great and -niall, she could take them all in; i io matter bow many cann', thc.'i was always room for more. Neai ! how i In bair (d' lier aristo: eratic family u-< d to stand <iii cud when they - iv.' her hob Hobbing with the but ?du r. thc baker, t be ca nd I es tick - maker but ('olly simply could not help it. Their blue blood would al most freeze in their veins when as was often the ease-they would en counter in some public place or upon some festive occasion I'olly surround ed by thc riff-raff and hoi-polloi; but they knew they couldn't step it, so they never tried. She had a pony carriage of her own and it was a sight to behold it jogging down thc street, with Polly's rubicund countenance in thc midst, snrrounded, overrun and enveloped by a sea of smaller faces. "Hob Short," almost as well known and beloved as his mis tress, was prone to stop at thc sight of a child so accustomed was bc to have take;; aboard all thc little craft they passed. tv?s she married? Oh, dca?, no! She never bad an oller that I heard of; at all events, marriage was not in her linc: she could not have endured thc trammels of domestic life and thc con jugal harness would have boen unbear able. She liked to go at a good swing ing pace of her own when and where she would; she was i? whole team in herself and needed no mate. Energetic to a degree, she had a fac ulty for making other people work-and do her bidding-it was a trait that rather run in her family-but they never resented it. in fact they rather liked it. She was too unwcildy for violent ex ertion and I can picture her now, seated beside a little table aud sur rounded by ali her paraphernalia; oranges in process of exquisite carv ing heaped around her-for she was an adept at this delicate art and made a comfortable living by it for many years; or dainty candies in course of construction or preparation for market, for in this she also excelled. No won der the children loved to hover round, to wait upon her and run on errands, obtaining by way of reward a smile of commendation and-a scrape from the candy bowl. And so generous was dear old Polly with her earnings and so alert to afford pleasure. On one occasion u party of young men and girls-with, of course, a suit able chaperon-wero planuing a trip of two weeks to thc seaside. The finances of my immediate family were just at their lowest ebb and wc could not even fora moment consider an expensive outing-but I was young and loved pleasure and Polly knew it. That was sufficient. A few modest lines was all. "The party leaves on such a day; get ready. AU is arranged. AUNT POLLY." "All arranged," indeed. That, meant that Polly's hard camed dollars were to pay my share of the expenses and prosurc for mc thc jolliest, happiest, brightest two weeks 1 ever spent iu ray life. Did I forget it? Shall I ever, this tide of the grave? I begin to think now that Polly's dollars were well invested, though she never knew it. To return to tho little table and it.? owner seated beside it. Sometime: the scone shifted and in place of tin oranges and candy there appeared i book or two and one or more m?sica instruments scattered carelessly around, for she was a musical geniui ia a small way-not scientific, it ii true-the "seien tifies" would hav< .laughed her products to scorn, bul enough, quite enough, to win the ad miration and delight of thc younf folk?-and what more could Poll j want? She could go to thc piano and plaj by car anything from a jig to a fu?era march, or sing to lier own accotnpani mont songs of every kind and degree Or, sitting at that wonderful little ta ble with her old violin a sweet ant rare instrument-draw tears of sympa thy or laughter from her youthfu hearers. Or, sometimes it was thi flute, thc zither, the accordion; it wa all the same to Polly; she could ex tract music out of anything, from i piped organ to a comb. Did the young folks love her? O course they did. Thon always som good humored joke or piece of railer, to call forth merriment and laugh ter in which hone joined moro heartil i than Polly herself. Nu wonder she ' grow so fat. Sometimes we, the young folks, would pounce upon her when the little table contained >t: ! queerer con tents. A great bowl of strong black coffee, no matter how seemly or unseemly the hour. And don't he shocked-it was Polly- fi hu/ of tobacco, a box ?d' matches and a smoking tray, while this same Polly "f thc blue blood and aristocratic nam?! sat beside it, the picture of contentment, puffing away ut an old pipe. ^ ? ars ago she had been afflicted with asthma, and thc doctors had re commended smoking a? a cure, ??r rather relief, for the distressing mala dy : and so the habit wi- contracted. Whether she required ii -till was a i|uesliou. Uer eii'-inirs said she liked it. And, bless her, I ?1 ir.-ay fill? did.

Visions uf Hanta Cdaus would risc before ou," eyes, and we would r?.it have had Polly deprived of her pipe for thc worhi. Well, hero she is, with her "pecub iarities," her "oddities" and lovabili ties, as I saw and knew them. Thc sour old folks say there was another side to thc picture. That she had a tongue which could cut upon occas sion, etc., but sour old folks always do find something to cavil at. As thc Scribes and Pharisees,' cen turies ago, found cause for censure in the Perfect Man, why should better treatment be meted out to Polly than to Polly's Master? Mo this as it may. There is a gravo in the churchyard now, over which thc grass is growing green, for ?tis watered by many tears. And the young folks po seldom to tho old Jiotne noWj and wh?n they do, they ?alel? themselves looking wistfully around for thc little' table snd thc jolly old face beside it, and wondering why the ?dace seems so o in pty. They don't understand that thc shell is there, hut the spirit has gone. Yes, Polly is dead. ' Faulty," if you j lease, peculiar, fascinating, loving, lovable Polly. She is dead, bul tho memory of her will live? forever. Kind words can never ?lie, Cherished and blest, (?od knows how deep they lie, Stored in the breast.1' MAY Kt.I.IOTT IIUTSON. ?rn - o m Humane Mullets. The speed with which the Lee Metford bullet trnvels is, as every ono knows, tremendously high. Five thousand feet aro covered in less than three seconds. The result of this enormous velocity is that the bullets, like meteorites, become heated by their contact with thc air, and by the time they reach their destination arc very nearly of a dull red heat. Cou se<)ucntly they sometimes sear tho wounds they inflict, and thereby may be said to bc their own remedy. It is a fact that soldiers hit by Lee-Met ford bullets at long range very seldom bleed badly, unless some large artery has been cut. A British surgeon with thc mauntain field force in thc last In dian hill campaign declares that un doubtedly the livos of several hillmen who came under his caro were saved by the searing of thu wounds caused by tho heat of thc bullets that had in flicted them. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all thc time, and when ever any of my family or myself be gin to catch a e?dd we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to scud away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chain berla:.n's Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth. - 1). S. Mear le le, General Merchant and l'armer, Mattie, Bedford county, Pa.

The tax-gath erer was aluio.it a stranger, and thc booiller was unknown, lint thc old patriarchal system bas gone never to return, and thc South is a cook who can lick her lingers wit i the best ol them. Calhoun, Toomhj, Vanceyand Kumar would bc statesmen out of jobs, il' jiving to day, and their jobs depended on public sentiment in South Carolin.i Georgia, Alabama and Mi siiisippi. Mr. Talbert is thc farmer in Con L're?s? b" \< also a politician, and no slouch in that line, either. I doubt if even Lou Livingston eau see ti horny ? handed vote farther, or basa more vir tuous suspicion of your kid-glove vote. The Hon. ?Jasper helped formulate thc Oeala demands, so it will bc observed that when all thc clans have rendered illustrious all of the K'unnymedes tho Hon. Talbert will be in their midst. Our South Carolina statesman is serving his fourth tenn in Congres?, and is a rather active member. His habits are all that could bc desired. Ile is not only without vices, but he appears to bc. and no doubt is, a sin cerely pious man. Since his first term Mr. Talbert has paid a great deal of I attention to pension legislation. Ile was a confederate soldier, and a il laut ono. If there is anything he j 11 a * < ; j wor?ie than a Plutocrat it is adc serter, and all deserters have pretty rough sailing ''pension nights" in thc American Congress, when the Hon, Jasper is standing around. For that matter, 1 doubt if any other member of thc House bas missed fewer sittings than he. He sets about thc work of legislation as though it was a job of mauling rails. Just now he is very much in evidence-that is, in demand ing quorums at Friday night sessions. He is certain that he is embarrassing thc wicked. He is very much mis taken. II?: isa Confederate blocking pension legislation. What better club would a Republican of thc North with a large soldier constituency want than that? The Hon. Norton, of Ohio, is a Democrat, but he is for ircc and unlimited pensions. Thc unpa triotic conduct of his fellow Democrat from ridgefield County has caused his Ohio brother lo bb cu bitter, sall tears ot vexation. Edgefield County, S. C., remember. Thc immediate predecessor of Tal bert in the House was a Southerner of the old shoot-George D. Tillman, brother to Hen. When a boy he was s-. nt to Harvard. Thc story goes that ao he passed through New York he bought liberally of silk underwear. That wintor he narrowly escaped pneumonia, and he never afterward wore underwear of any kind. Indeed, it was said he would not even wear socks. lie was literally the sookless statesman, thc first of that ilk. Like old Hannibal Hamlin, tho winter was never cold enough for him to wear au overcoat. Thc first time I oversaw old George was the last day of thc session-or thc day before the last-18S0, just after Garfield had buen nominated for President. Ho desired to make a speech, and asked unanimous consent for thc purpose. Unfortunately, he announced his theme, and that was Maj. (len. Benjamin F. Butler, lie also let it be known that he purposed to usc sonic rather harsh language, as no other would properly characterize thc person about whom bc was going to talk. Gov. Robinson, tho greatest man Massachusetts has had in the House of Ile presen ta ti ves since Fath er Hoir went ta thc Senate, objected. Ho understood sonic "member" from his State was to be attacked. Tillman retorted: "The gentleman is mistak en: I did not allude to one of thc present delegation from Massachu setts; I spoke of a statesman from that Commonwealth." There was a hear ty laugh, in which Robinson joined: but thal speech was nevei made. One day old George and a Congress man from Kentucky got into a heated argument about matters and things. Sometimes it becomes pr -per lo indi cato sonic of thc old fellow's language thus-. Ile said something like this: "- - Kentucky. If 'it hadn't been for her there wonldn'? have been any war.
