Some Recollections and Rambling Remarks by An Old Soldier. “How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view." This sentiment, a fragment of a fa miliar old poem, can well be applied to the feelings of the old veterans who assembled at historic old Lime stone on July the 4th. One more re union of old patriots of a just but lost cause has passed to the credit side of the ledger of human events; one more peaceful gathering of the ever- thinning line of gray, the last, per haps, of many who will ever assem ble again except on life’s eternal camping ground; whose best days have been cheerfully sacrificed in hat tit as life lasts will ever respond to the call of justice and independence, and What Is Included in the Term as Ap plied to Gentlemen. (Richmond Times-Democrat.) Chivalry is one of the most noble traits of a manly man, and has ever been one of the chief attractions of the true Southern gentleman. The chivalry of the old-time Southerner m KILL THE was seen in his invariable reverence j for a good woman and his readiness always to defend her from other*, and i not only from others, hut from him self. His chivalry^ was seen in his loyalty to his friends and in his fair ness to his foes. He would share his last morsel with a friend: he would take no mean advantage of a foe. He would give his life for his friend, and count it hut a reasonable sacrifice; he would fight no foe except in the open , . , , . , . , .upon equal terms. He was a good tor the righh whose heai is as o^ gj | ()V er am | a ^nod hater. He was a fighter, and he believed in the "code of honor”; hut his belief in the code •-W ,\ will not cease until stilled by the Al mighty hand that gave them birth. The worst disease the world has ever known, and the greatest scourge to the human race, is Contagious Blood Poison. One drop of the virus of this loathsome disease will pollute and vitiate the purest and healthiest blood, and within a short time after the first little sore appears the system is filled with the awful poison; the skin breaks out in a red rash, the glands of the groins begin to swell, the throat and mouth become ulcerated, the hair and eyebrows drop out, and often the entire surface of the body is covered with copper-colored splotches, pus tular eruptions and sickening-looking sores and abscesses.

An exchange tells the story of a poor workingman who told ins wife, on awakening one morning, a curious dream which he had during the night. He dreamed that he saw coming to ward him, in order, four rats. The first one was very fat, anti was fol lowed by two lean rats, the rear rat being blind. The dreamer was great ly perplexed as to what evil might follow, as it ha T been understood that to dream of rats denoted calamity. He appealed to his wife concerning 1 liis, but she, poor woman, could not In'Ll him. His son, who heard his fatner tell the story, volunteered to he the interpreter. "The fat rat,” he said, “is the man who keeps the sa loon you go to so often; the two lean rats are my mother and me; and the blind rat, father, is yourself.” To Cure a Cold in One Day Taka Laxative Bromo QTnme Tablets.
