ARP ON HAPPINESS. When Not Worrying About the Little Arp, - He Is About the Country. Oh, my country. I thought that when me and my wife or my wife and I had raised our ten children and turned them loose we would have a rest and our remaining days would all be calm and serene. But these grandchildren keep coming on and every new one that comes has to have a silver cup or a silver spoon or something by way of remembrance. It used to be cups, but it has got down to spoons now and I reckon will get down to safety pins after while. My wife is a maternal ancestor and is proud of her grandchildren and these little me mentos have go, to come, money or no money. And there are the birthdays that keep on multiplying and she knows every one and wants something for them. "Just a little something," she whispers as she follows me to the door. It is these little sowethings that keep me on a strain, but I am going to keep on that time as long as I can. She has been telling me for a month that I I ought to have a new suit of clothes, especially as there was a wedding to come off in the family very soon and I would have to escort the bride adown the long drawn aisle in the presence of a multitude. And so I tried the cloth ing stores in Atlanta for a suit with the tar; off, but I didn't find it. That kind nasent come yet, and so I shall brush up my old ones for the occasion., Nobody is going to look at me nohow for there are to t>e ten beautiful brides maids and as many groomsmen and a church full of witnesses and the wed ding march is to be played, and I could just drop out of it and never be missed. But I did buy my wife a silk wedding dress and she is as proud as she was at sweet sjxteen, when she stood up by me with her Augusta clothes on. She dideut have but one bridesmaid, either, and there wasent much fuss made over it. There were no presents at all, but a few days after we went to housekeeping seven likely darkies .came tramping- up to the house and sat down on the front steps uvtil I came from the stere. My pret tylbutwife was sitting at the window pretending to sew. She had a mis chievous smile on her face as I stopped in front of the smiling darkies. "What are you all doing here," said I. "What lave you come after, Tip-you and Mary and all?" And Tip said: "Old master sont us up here to Miss Octavy and she tole us to sot down here tweil you come. Old master tole us we all b'long to you and Miss Octavy now." Well, I never felt less helpless in my life. What to do with them I didn't know. I had no plantation and no negro houses and it never occurred to me that I could hire them out. So after consultation me and my wife or my wife and I sent them all back ex cept Tip and Mary and begged the old gentleman to keep them until later. He enjoyed the joke and said be only wanted to make a delivery of them, for they had long declared that when Miss Octavy got married they were "gwine wid her." No, we didn't have our share of wed ding. My wife cost me just $11.50-$10 to old brother Patterson, the preacher, and a doliar and a half for the license. Cheap, I teil you. A good wife is the cheapest thing in the world, for she has done been raised and clothed and schooled when you get he'r. Old Jacob had to work fourteen years for- the girl he loved, bit he got some of that back by cheating old man Labon in the cattle trade. But nowadays a wedding costs as much as a funeral--costs old folks I mean. From the way things * are going on at my'house it looks like hole family are to be married, * even'dawn to the little granddaughters, who are to be dressed up as cherubs * ~ and mingle with' the angels. It takes dry goods and lace amazing. And the kinsfolks are coming and some dear friend's, and all have to come in bridal array, and the cake baking business has begun and old Aunt Ann is as much excited as if she was to be married, too, and declares that "nobody's cake ain't gwine ter beat" her cake. The house has been swept and garnished-not a cobweb or a speck in it. The rooms in %the cabin have been cleaned and car %peted,A' d for a while one of them-was ~jidto me, but I am ruled out now and will have to hang up somewhere or sleep on the hay in the barn. It is a mighty big thing, I tell you, for our baby girl is going to step off and leave us-going off~ after a young man who is no kin to her and never did anything -for her but give her a ring and a book and somne French candy now and then. But it is all right and according to na ture and we can die more happily if the girls are happily married beTore we ~.-~---- go. But our time will come yet if we live four years longer. We will have a golden wedding-no silver in ours We are for the gold standard right now in advance. .1 ust a gold dollar from each of our friends will do, fcr we are goldolaters now in anticipation. We don't want to break nobody. These -silver wedding presents from the gen erous donors are mighty nice and highly appreciated by the happy donees, but they give the old folks fits-I mean the paternal ancestors who have to foot the bills. If an old man has a popular son or daughter who has to play bridesmaid or groomsman to somebody three or four times a year its as aggravating as town taxes. I know a handsome bache lor over in Rome who died insolvent, and it was making wedding presents - - that broke him. He wanted to marry to get out of the business, but couldent make up his mind, and all his set of girls married while he was making up -mind and he had to give every one oeautiful present. At last he died and not one of those girls went to his funeral. But it is the fashion nowadays to make wedding presents, and it is all right if they come willingly.and don't strain the old man's pocket. It is a sort of tax on income that has to be endured. In our young days we dident get presents, but we had as fine a wedding supper as can be had now, and next day we had an infair, that was as fine as the supper. The infair was a swell dinner at the house of the groom's father, and both families and all their kindred were there. That ended the show. There was no Lo,ndoci or Paris or New York or Saratoga in it, but the young couple went to work. Me and my wife --that is to say my wife and I-did go to TalI'4lah Falls about the clo-e of the honeymoon. The honeymoon is the first month after marriage, and it closes about the time the young raan quits calling his wife honey. 'We went in an old-fashioned carriage thbat swung high and had folding steps in the casing of each door and had a high dickey seat for the driver and a place bebind for a little nig to stand on. Old Virgil was carriage driver and was proud of his vocation. He was then over fifty, and is living yet, as gray as a rat and blind as a bat. Yes, we went to Tallulah when it was a howling wilderness. No body lived there but a man by the name of Beall, who was in the war with Mexico and had named his two boys Churubusco and Monterey and his lit tle girl Buena Vista. Tallulah was thben awfully magnetic. I reckon it is yet. I held on to my pretty young wife des perately when she ventured a look over - the awful precipice. I1 rcad a few years ago about a beauti ful bride losing her consciousness righbt there and in a swoon she fell over the bring and down, down until she was gone from sight and her husbaud be came- almost insane. and the people ran down t bere in horror and despair-and as they descended by the winding and dangerous way to find her mangled re mains, they saw her hanging in a thornbush that grew from out the rocks_ a hundred feet down. She was saved by the strength of a hoopskirt that she bought at Dougherty's store, on Peachtree street, in Atlanta, and it cost only $1.75, and he had plenty more of the same sort left. That car riage ride to the falls and from there to Toccoa and back home was a de lightful episode, and I continued to call my bride honey and sugar and darling. It beat a railroad car where every en vi ous fool is looking at you and poin ting you out, -and these newspaper gimlets fire their little squibs at you and ihink it smart. The wedding, the marriage, the nup tials is the biggest thing in a man's life, especially a woman's. It is bigger than being born or dying. We look back and wonder at the eagerness with which we took the risk, the peril of happiness or misery. The very word wedding means a bet, a wager, a chance. Nuptials means a veil, a covering, as though a man couldent see what kind of a wife he was getting, and conjugal means a yoke, and the law tells of the chains of matrimony. Nevertheles, the young folks make the leap as though they would fall on a bed of roses and all their friends, old and young, look on with smiles and congratulations. There is no weeping or wailing.. That comes later, if it comes at all. But marriage is nature, and nature is the safest guide of all. I would marry every time. I would rather have an uncongenial wife whose children loved me than no wife at all. It is the woman who takes the greater iisk and she had better remain single than be bound to a bad man who will entail misery upon herself, and her children, too. BILL ARr. Who Made the First Cup of Coffee? [Literary Digest.] In t' 3 Bibliotheque Nathionale there is a manuser'-t (near the end of the six tenth century), written by an Arab, Abdel, cader, who declares that coffee was drunk for the first time in Arabia in the middle of the fifteenth century. Others think that certain remarks in Persian writings imply that coffee was used in Persia as early as the ninth centuiy; but most authors dispute these texts. It is com monly supposed that the use of coffee in its earliest home, Abyssinia, and in its second home, Arabia, is only five or six centuries old. A legend says that the Angel Gabriel once, when Mohammed was ill, brought him a cup of coffes. - Another legend says that a Mohamtanian monk discovered that his goat becaine very lively and full of fun after they .had eaten the fruit of the coffee-tree. This obs6rvation caused him to make the first cup of coffee. His dervishes enjoyed. the coffee, and ever afterwards drank it at night, to produce wakefulcess, when they kept vigils. Cau tious historians laugh at these traditions and prefer to stand by Abdelcader's man uscript. This writer mentions an Arab, Gemaleddin, a judge in Aden, who while traveling to Persia, or, as the historiens correct the manuscript, to Abyssinia, saw people use coffee as medicine. He used it and was cured of a sickness. Later, becoming a monk, be taught his brethern -the use of coffee. It was, then, in Aden that coffee-drinking originated. The Fakeers even made coffee-drinking com pulsory upon their neophytes. Public coffee-houses originated in Aden, and very early in history. We do not find any opposition to the use of coffee until the middle of the sixteenth century, when the Egyptian Sultan sent a new governor, Chair Bey, to Mecca. This governor knew nothing about coffee, and was greatly enraged when he saw the der vishes, in the mosque, drink coffee. He believed that which they did was contrary tothe teaching of the Koran, and that they becamae intoxicated. He consulted two Persian physicians. who were op posed to coffee. They declared it was a substitute for wine, which is prohibited by the Koran, and hence coffee-drinking was a violation of Mohammed's law. To prove that coffee drinking made persons neglect regligious dut-ies, they pointed to the fact that while coffee-houses were multiplying the mosque were empty Chair Bey called a council of pnysicians, priests, and lawyers, and, on their advice, forbacTe absolutely the use of coffee. The police gathered all coffee that could be found, and burned it in the market-place. America One Hundred Years Ago. [From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.] Every gentleman wore a queue and powdered his hair. Imprisonment for debt was a common practice. There was not a public library in the United States. Almost all the furniture was imported from England. An old copper mine in Connecticut was used as a prison. There was only one hat factory, and that made cocked hats. A day laborer ' considered himself well paid with two shillings a day. Crockery plates were objected to be cause they dulled the knives. A man who jeered at the preacher or criticised the sermon was fined. Virginia contained a fifth of the whole population of the country. A gentleman bowing tog a lady always scraped his foot on the ground. Two st-age coaches bore all the travel between New York and Boston. The whipping post and pillory were still standing in Bostoni and New York. Beef, pork, salt fish; potatoes, and hominy were the staple diet all the year round. Buttons were scarce and expensive, and the trousers were fastened with pegs or laces. There wera no manufactures in this country, and- every housewife raised her own flax and made her own linen. IThe church collection was taken in a bag at the end of a pole, with a bell at tached to rouse sleepy contributors. Leather breeches, a checked shirt, a red flannel jacket, and a cocked hat formed the dress of an artisarL. When a man had enough tea he placed his spoon aeross bis cup to indicate that he wanted no more. A new arrival in a jail was set upon by his fellow prisoners and robbed of every thin'g he had.

Underthe above beading the Sierling Herald publishes the following: A remarkable exhibition of the moving power of eloquent oratory was given Sun day afternoon at the religious exercises held in Warner's grove, near Sterliug. Il1. The Rev. Arthur E. Gringle, pastor of Bethany Lutheran church at Canton, Ill., was speaking on foreign missions, and desired to impress the people with their responsiblility to save the heathen by using the illustration of a burning build ing. Throwing out his arm, he pointed over the heads of the congregation. "Look!' he shouted, "over there I see a house on firer' No sooner bad be said this than the whole congregation was upon its feet. In the audience, right in front of the speaker's stand, John Wolf was seated. Ile was aroused by the preacher's startling wordi. fe look up hurriedly, and noticed the di rection in which that outstretched finger pointed. With one wild whoop, Wolf leaped to his feet. "Py sheeminy criminy!" he yelled; "I pet you dot ish my house!" and shoving his way though the astonished congrega tion ran at the top of his speed in the di rection of the suppossed conflagration. He soon discovered his mistake, of course, but certainly no better tribute to the moving power of Rev. Dr. Gringel's oratory could :have been rendered. So real was it that the pastor loci says that he saw the flames. and Rev. Dr. Sever inghaus, of Chicago, positive!y asserts that he saw the smoke, Purify your blood, tone up the sys tew, and regulate tbe digestive organs by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.
