OUR DEAR LITTLE GIRL.
So much to lose—»o much to miss,
So much to grieve for day by day;
The cl whig arms, the good night kiss»
The tojrp to put away.
The mufto of her merry talk,
That (greeted us from morn till even;
The little, dimpled feet that walk
The golden streets of Heaven.

A FRANK
SOUTHERNER.
The Wise Conclusion of a Man Who Thor
oughly Understand» Himself.
In the smaller towns of the ^outh t'.ie
stranger is always struck by the np-
paront fact that the landlord of the
hotel ought to be in some other busi
ness. There is no system in manage
ment, and it never seems to occur to
mine host that any thing is expected
of him. One day, when the landlord
of a village hotel sat down with me
for a smoke, I summoned up courage
to say:
“Landlord, that was an awful bed
yon gave me last night”
"Yes, sir—don’t doubt it, sir. I’ve
got some very bad be.Is in this house."
"And your waiters here are very lazy
and impudent. M “
“I know it Yes, sir, they are.”
“And such fare! That coffee was
awful."
“I know it 1 had to stop drinking
coffee.”
“And that butter nothing but Chica
go lardine.”
"That’s it exactly. Can’t anybody
eat that stufi’.”
“And you don’t know how to cook
meats.”
“We don’t, sir, and I’m free to ad
mit it”
“I noticed that the milk was about
half water.”
“I think it was. I used to drink it,
but now I take clear water instead.”
“Colonel, can I ask you a fair ques
tion?”
“You can, sir.”
“Why do you keep a hotel instead of
running a saw-mill?”
“Why do I, sir? Because, sir, I feel
that I don’t know enough to run the
mill! I know what I’m capable of, and
I’m timid about going into any thing
and making a failure of it!”— Detroit

UHLAND'S CENTENNIAL
A German Poet Who«« Work« Were SI
cerely Atimlrod by I»ou‘¿follow.
A century ago April 26. Ludwig Uh
land, ono of the most popular of mod
ern German poets, was borp at Tubin
gin, an old town on theNeckar, whore
he spent tho best part of his life, and
tho inhabitants of which placo have
never allowed their prophut to be de
spised in his own co intry. Wherever
the G -rmau tongue is Bpoken, there
Uhland lias ma le a home for himself,
first by his patriotic ballads, with which
he stirred the hoart of his countrymen
at tho beginning of the century, when
"the waves of tho Adriatic moaned
over tho lo s of Germany,” and
later on by his songs ami other poems.
Scholar, lawyer, politician and anti
quarian though ho wns, he remained
always first and foremost a man, a
poet of the people, wlmso j >y< and sor
rows he express al as no other poet has
done bofore or after h’m. As the
Deutsche Bund hau aptly says in a re
cent
article
by
II.
Grimm:
“Uhland's memory is kept alive by his
poems, which ring through Germany
like bells, and tho rich musio of which
timo has boon unable to impair. The
language in tiie rustling of tho German
forest and the mysterious souud of the
mountain streams whose whence and
whither no one knows, and which aro
only met within the infinite solitude of
the forest, have been taught
Uhland. Nobody can express
longing which is awakened
a look from some . height over
country and tiie silver linos of
rivers as Uhland's shepherd boy,
looks dow n upon all the castles,
for whose funeral, too, (ho bqj’.s in the
valley will some time bo toll! ng." In
England tiie name of the poet is chiefly
associated with liis version, in ballad
form, of tho legend of the "Luck of
Elenhall," while Longfellow’s trans
lations have familiarized the English
publio with several of his poems based
on o!d legends. The first edition of
tho poet's works was published tn 1815;
at his denth, in 1862, over thirty edi
tions had appeared; in 1875 tlm sixtieth
was published, and the denuind is
still increasing.— Dall Mall Gazette.

Mr. George Sabb<-rly, writing from
Chicago to n friend nt Dry Fork, says:
“My Dour Abner: You know I came
here Io see about having a book pnb-
lished, but I am sorry to say that 1
have net yot found a publisher that’s
got tho insight to recognize a good
thing. I carefully cut out all my Dry
Fork notes that wore published in the
Hickory Knob Sapling, including the
ono about Uncle Dave Pruitt being
chased through Gum Hollow by a wild
hog, and also that one giving the
facts about the row over at Borkly
meeting-house, but, Ab, do you know
that those fullers failed to seo the
point? Tho last one I called on
laughed at me. ’Why, my dear sir,’
said ho, 'the happenings at Dry Fork
are not of interest to people who live
away from there.’ I didn’t hit him.
Ab; I didn’t touch him, but I stepped
back and gave him ,s look that went
clenn through him and struck the
wall. He didn’t mind it, though.
Thon I turned over a few pages and
showed him the following side-splitter

Since then, old Polo has not been so
