We have at last had a glorious rain. After nine long sweltering weeks with out it drop to lay the dtust or purify the atmaaosphere it catae with a downpour and every boly is happy. The gardens will revive anl the flowers will bloom aga in and the farmers will rejoice for it has come inl time to save their languishing crops. The dear little sick child whom we have been nursing so tenderly and watching for many days will now get well. Aly wife or one of tht. girls is there day and night, but the dust anld the hear had almost overi,ice him n when tihe rain came. We are all air plants and must have it 'l'hen again I ti led to tike comf.'rt by readig the tribute that Charles Franeis Adams has recently paid to General lutbert l;. Lee. It seems to be gelting quite fashionable to praise Lem up there, but, really I don't, see why Ihey should single him out, and damn 1lr. Davis and all the rest of us and the cause for which lice fought. I don't like any man who praises I,ee and stabs \ir. Davis. Lee aud I )avis were like brothers all their mature lives. 'I'hey were classmates at West l'oint and during our civil war they were bosom companions and never dis agreed about anything. It is a gross insult, to the memory of I.ee to slander his closest and dearest friend. No gentlemnan would do it. I have not heard of (Charles lP"ancis Adams slandering AIr. Davis, but we have good reasons to a eipt'et that, he belongs to the (oblwin Smith and Roosevelt crowd, for he voluntarily took command of a negro regiment during the war, and that is a had sicn. No genitleiman would have done it It was an evidence that he helIevcd nig gers would make war hell to us and they would kill and rob and rape and burn out, of revenge. No, I have no respect ftor this Adams nor I,ew Wal lace nor any other man who command ed negroes dutng the war. It was not hit matte uor legitimate warfare. It. showed Venom and brutality and ldignity. What did (ener'al Lee do before the war or !hnrinu t'l:e war or after the war that did not. have the hearty co-opera tion of M r. I )ivias? What did Mr. Davis do that General ILee did not ap prove? ILoth were good soldiers and won their spiur. lHiti were devout Ciristian members of the Episcopal chuich antI Senator Iteagan said of I Mr. I )avis: ' lIe was tile most devout i Christ.ian I ever knew and the most. I lovable man." Hie was a conscientious < belever in the lotctrine of State's rights as expounded by Mr. Calhoun, I and while a lieutenant in the Uiited States army dec"lar"ed that. he would re- a sign his coianand before he would as- I sist in the coercion of a sovereign State. 'l'he uternational Cyclopedia says of him: " lie was a groat states- t man and a true patrtot, and his history will grow brighter as the years roll on.'' lhit this Presidential accident I says he was an arch traitor and arch repudiator, and he hasn't the manlii ness tp t.ake it. hack andi apologize. Bdt hei'e come sonme genial friends to call and see how I am11 getting on, for I am still suffering and needI sym pathy. When they come they bring good1 dcer andit wit and anecdot,e and that is better tihan r'uminating about, polit.ies and the niggers. We Were talking about, dogs andi one of these frietids, who is a railroad matn, told tij about a woman trying to bioartl a train dlowni in l''lorida and she haud a little potidle ogr inhe arms an''h con dutottr said:t " No, madam, you can't t,ake that, dog with you in the passen gel' eat'. ft, is atgainst, the rules,"' SIhe was a Nort.hern womian wif,h sharp featurtes. Our Soutthei'n- women don't carry poodle dogs arond with them; they prefer a baby. Well, she was very inidigntant and wanted to know what shermust, dot with her dog. t" Put himi in the baggage car'," said the con ductor. As she handed up the canine to the baggage mani she said, " Well, I r'eckon I ean ride where my (log i'ides."' and she went iinto the baggage car'. The man wasi disgut.ted. le tied the dog with a little cord anid she squatted on a box near' by.. After they p)assed Sanford she got tired, andh ut,ying the dog, took 11111 iln her arms and went, back to t,he smoker'. That, car was full of jolly good f'ellows, butt she demanded a seat and they gave her one. She took one half and laid hot' poodle oti the other halt'. A jolly .)utchiman sat behind lier and was smoking an old pipe that gave an unearthly odor and as he talked and "laughed with lis comnpan ion t.he tobacco smoke enicircled her classic head untIl she couldn't standl it arTd she turned to him and said with a snap, "No) gentleman wouhld smoke in the presence of a lady."' E.Well, muadani," lie said kindily, "die is de smintl(' CarI. It ie niot dIe ladies' car'. I is ver'y sorr'y to t,roub)le you wlid mmne pipe and whbacco, but you had better go back to de: 'ladies' dar," " T'hey won't let my do'g go in there," said sihe. " I)ot is very bad," lie said and kept, On simoking. , lDy an d by. a voluminous cloud .lte that which camne from the eitater: of Mont P?elee rolled over her and In her r'age she seizedihis pipe, jer'ked lt'from his tmouthi and throw It out of the win dow, liverybody laughedd and. rda'red anid lie joggged Ir the ,merriment. " M adam, dOt Is ahii p$po I hiave got. It, vaus gIve tf.thiin Si1iany' but vu n good -,turti de Ahather,' and I. d he seirzed her little 'leeping dog and threw him out of the window. The woman screamed with anger; she mauled him over the head with her umbrella. She screamed and yelled for the train to stop. Iie stood it all heroically. '' Madam, I sent your dog to lind mmetl1 pipe,'' he said. The alarm was so great that the conductor came running in and some passengers illed the door, while the woman did .the talking. " My husband will meet me at Orlando,'' she said, "andi he will maul the juice out of you, you bald headed rascal.'' " Veel, I will give him a chance," said he. The train soon rolled up to Orlando, and sure enough the woman's husband was there. She became violent and hysterical as she told her wrongs and pointed out the man. " I1et him come 1 out here," said the husband, 1 I dare I him to come out here." " Veel, I sup pose I must see about de light," said i the I )utchman, "and take de medicine, i but I shore don't vant no little guuns in i it nor butcher knives. I can light i some mid mine fists." He took off his coat and -handed it to a bystander. The crowd increased. The conductor I said he would stop the train for ten e minutes. A ring was made fol' the r mten to light in and everybody was in t a state of high expectation. Here my friend stopped his narrative and lit a fresh cigar and commenced talking c about something else. r "But the fight,'' said I, "what about i the light?" "e Oh I there wasn't any I light," he said. " Just as they were t about to clutch somebody cried out. t " Look yonderl look yonderI look down i the railroad track." And sure enough dl t'ere came the little dog running with Ii ill his might arid he had the Dutch- d mran's pipe in his mouth. Of course c lhere was no light, for the Dutchman v 3eized his pipe and the woman her dog il and that settled it. Now let the e preacher tell one." And he did. There a ire no t>etter story tellers than our t, Uartersville preachers.

A ur. 1 ;AHll,Y SI'kUGGI.lS L OF AN)RIEW CARNE(:IR. hI'le Millionirc I'!:ilainthropist i Tells tile Story of His Boy- e hood. 8 Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given 1 iway more n'mey than any other nann in America, and he has declared t to be a disgrace to die with untold V nillions at his disposal, so that he is lisposing of his wealth very rapidly. , several years ago lie wrote an article e or the Youth's Companion, entitled a how I Served my Appi enticeship as t linriness MAan," from which the fol- f owing extracts are made : " The eldest w-m of parents who vere themselves poor, I had, fortu. lately, to begin to perform some useful rvork in the world while still very foung in order to urn an honest live ihood, and was Ihus shown even in ,arly boyhood that my duty was to a issist my parents, and like them be somie, as ston as possible, also a 'bread vinmner ' in the fatmily. What, I could ct, t.o do, not what. I tdeired, was ther juest.ion,. 4Whlen I w as born my father was a Lvl-todo master-we aver in Dnferm. I ne, Scotland. lie owvned no less than 'uur damask loorns and employed ap prentice4. This was before the days rf steam facL.ories for the mlanulfacture af-linien. A few la4ge merchant,s took a~rders and empIiloyedl 'miast.er-weavers, meh as my father, 1:o weave the cloth, t the merchants supplying the materials. " As the factory system developed, biandloom weavlag naturally declined' t. and my father was one of t,he sufferers b)y the change. The irst,serious lessont of my life came to me one day wh)en lie had taken in the last of his work to the merchant and returnedi' to our little home great,ly distressedi because there was no more work for him to do. I was then just, about ten years of age, but t,he lesson burned into my heart,, anid I resolved then that ' the wolf ofI plovert,y ' would be dIriven from 'our door somne (lay if I could do it. "The question of selling the 01(1d hoomis anti start,ing for the Unit,ed States came up in the family council, anid I heard it, discussed from (lay t,o day. It was linally resolvedi to take the plunge antd joinl relatives alt-eady in Pittsburg. I well remember that neither father nor mother thought the change would be otherwise than a great sacrifiee for i.hem, but that " it wouldh be better for our two boys.' " In after life, if you can look back as I do and wonder at, the complete attrrendter of their own desires which parents make for the good of their cildren, you must reverence t,heir memories . with feelings akmn to wor ship. " Arriving in Allegheniy aity, four of us-father, mother,:-tny "younger brother anti myself-fathe?- e4tered a cott,or. factory. I soon followed and served as a ' bobbin boy,' and this Is howr I began my preparation~fbr sulige. quenit apprenticeship as.a business 'nan. 1 received one dollar. nrd t*enty cents a week, andi was theW.1Jst about twelve years old. "I catnot tell yoh flow prdud i Wras .when I received my fitet week's carri lags. 'One diollar Amid titeitty cents made by myself -am) Wiven to me biy cause -.1 had bee of som'e use In tthu world IN WriIOlgt1irely dependent upon -my,~ 'bib at last admitted 6 th/0 ft ~rthierahin. as a coiarh. uting member and able to help them ! I think this makes a man out of a boy sooner than almost anything else, and it real man, too, if there be any ;erm of true manhood inl him. It is every thing to feel that you are useful. "(I have had to deal with great sums. Many millions of dollars have passed through my hands. liut the genuine satisfaction I had from Ihat one dollar and twenty cents outweighs any sui1be.. quent pleasure in money-getting. It, was the direct reward of honest imanual labor ; it represonted it week of very hard work, so hard that bumt for the aim and end which sanctifiled it, slavery might not he too strong a term to leseribe it. 4( For a lad of twelve to rise and breakfast every morning, except the Lilessed Sunday morning, and go into lhe streets and find his way to the fae ,ory and begin work while it wai' :: lark oulside, and not he released uiiti tfter darkness came again in the even ng, forty minutes' interval only being llowed at noon, was a terrible task. " But I was young and had my ireamns, and something wiLhin always old me that this would not, could not, hould not last-I slhoild some day get better position. Beside this, I felt nyself no longei a mere boy, but quite a little man,' and this made me happy. "( A change soon cune, for a kind i Scotchman, who knew sonic of our elatives, made bobbins and took me a his factory before I was thirteen. lut here for a time it wa: even worse han in the factory, because I was set o lire a boiler in the collar, and actual y to run the small steam engine which rove the machinery. The firing of the oiler was all right, for fortunately we id not use coal, but the refuse wooden hips, and I always liked to work in rood. But the responsibility of keep ig the water right and of running the ngine, and the danger of my making mistake and blowing the whole fac 3ry to pieces, caused too great at strain. nd I often awoke and found myself itting up in bed through the night rying the steam gauges. liut I never old them at home that I was having a hard tussle.' No I no I everything aust be bright to them. " This was it point of honor, for very member of the family was work. og hard except, of course, my little rother, who was then a child, and we rere telling each other only all time ,right things. Iiesides this, no man rould whine and give up---he would ie first. "( There was no servant in our fanm y, and several dollars per wcek were arned by ' the mother' by binding hoes after her daily work was done ! 'ather was also hard at woi k in tihe ictory. And could I complaim ? IMy kiid employer, .lohln lay, eace to his ashes I soon relieved ime of te undue strain, for he needed some ne to make out bills and keep his ae aunts, and finding that I could write plain school boy hand, iand col cipher,' I became his only clerk. But Al I had to work hard up-stairs in the tctory, for the clerking took but little 'me. " You know how people moan about overty as being a great evil, and it :ems to be accepted that if people had mly plenty of money and were rich icy would he happy and more usefu 1 , ad get more out of life. C " As a rule, there is more genuine itisfaction, a truer life, and more oh uined from life in the hunle cot,tagest f the p)oor than in the palaces of the clh. I always pity the sons and daugh 1rs of rich men who are atttendled by arvants, and have governesses at, a uter age, but ama glad to remember sat, they (10 not know what they have uissed. "They have kind fat,hers and moth ra, t,oo, andi think that they enjoy the weetness of t,hese blessings to the alilest, but, this they cannot, do ; for lie poor b)oy who has in fatber a con taut companion, tut,or and model, andh his muother-holy name- -hie nurse, 3acher, guardian angel, saint all in ne, has a richer, more precious for ue in life tban any rich man's son rho is not, so favored cani possib)ly now, and compared with which all ther fortunes count, for little. " 1t is because I know how sweet nid happy andl pure t,he home of hoa st poverty is, how free from p)erplex ng care, from social envies and emut rtions, how lovIng andi how united its members may be in the common inter at, of support,ing the family , that I ympathlze with the rich man's boy nid congratulate the poor man's boy; ,nd it is for these reasons that from he ranks of the p)oor so many st,rong, minent, self-reliant men have always prung and always must spring. " If you will read the list of the Immiortals who were not, born to die,' nIll tind that, most, of t'iem have been orni to t,he p)recious heritage of pov rt,y. " IL seems, naowadays, a matter of universal desire that poverty should me abolished. Weo should be quite villing to abolish luxury, but to iabol sha honest, industrious, celf-denymag >OVer'ty would be to dest,roy the soil upon which mankind p)rodluces the vir ,ues which enable our race to reach a till higher. civilization than it now Baltimore is considering a plan of shanging the name of its North avenue to Schley avenue, mn honor of the rear admiral.
