A TIRED WOMANTS EPITAPH.
Here lies a poor woman who always
was tired,
Who lived in a house where help was
not hired. °
Her last words on earth were:
friends, I am going
Where washing ainTt done, nor sweep-
| ing, 1.0r sewing.
But everything there is exact to my
wishes,
For-where they donTt eat thereTs no
washing of dishes.
ITll be where loud anthems will always
be ringing, -
But having no voice I'll get clear of
the singing.
DonTt mourn for me now, donTt mourn
for me never,
ITm going to do nothing tor ever and
ever.�

OBITUARIES.
Died, on the 7th of February, 1896,
Albert S. Moore, son of David H., and
Addie Moore. He was 22 years of
age, and has been a sufferer from dys-
pepsia and rheumatism for a long time.
He was confined to his room sixteen
months and most' of the time on the
bed. He prayed every day to die,
and be free trom suffering and at last
his spirit was wafted away very un
expectedly to us all, God heard his
prayer and took him out of his suffering.
fis will must be done, not ours. He
governs all things ascording to his own
will and pleasure, and works in a mys-
terious way his wonders to perform.
My darling boy, you are free from pain,
Our loss becomes your gain, "
Your suffering here was so intense
I hope your happiness is immense.
MorTHER.
Lines in memory of little John Da-
vid Moore, son of David H. and Addie
Moore, who departed this life Dec. 27,
1895.
Dear little darling so full of love,
Your spirit has flown to realms above~
And all we can do, is to weep and
pray
That we may meet again some day.
You were so merry and full of fun,
That we miss you so, dear little one ;
But God took you home to dwell in
heaven,
While at the tender age of seven.
Your voice was so sweet and smile so
bright,
Your childish prattle was oar delight,
And oh! how I miss you, dear little
one,
My sweet little darling,lovable son.
(tod loaned you to us such a little
while
And you won our hearts by your win-
some smile,
And when he got ready he took you
away,

Talk For Your Town.
Stick to your town. If it is only a
collection of cabins, stand by it and pick
out its most attractive features when
speaking of it. Your share of the uni_
verse amounts to the placeT where your
days are spent, Your city is the best
of cities, your people-the foremost of all
people. oTalk it, preach it, teach it till
the world believes it, and you will soon
get to believing it youeself.
Speak up tor your city.. No matter
where you are, pull for the place where
friends are. That is the secret of
progress. You can find plenty of ob-
jectionable features about any city.
Make yourself as nearly oblivious as
possible to the shortcoming of your town.
Remember that your people are the
veople that you know best. As a mat-
ter of course, you are more familiar
with them than you are with those of
strangers, with whose good points only
you become acquainted.
Paint out the scars when you draw a
picture of your home folks.T Leave out
the blots whén you chart your sur-
roundings. If you practice a healthy,
appreciative sentiment in speaking about
your own environments you will soon
forget your cynicism and your home
will become what it should be, the fair-
est spot on earth,
Stick to your own city. Make its
surroundings the most agreeable, its
scenes the nost beautiful, its location
the most admirable, its resources the
nearest inexhaustible, of all the places
in the world.
Preach it, believe it and impress it
upon others. You will be happier, by
cultivating such a spirit of patriotism
Your friends will like you better, your
association will be more agreeable, your
work will please you better if you stick
|to your city and your people."Rome,
Ga. Telegraph.

Now that public ic attention is 80 keen-
ly drawn to the almost anarchic state| ©
of Turkey, the following particulars
ot the capital of the Ottoman empire
will be of interest: Byzantium, Islam-
boul, or Constantinople as the place
~has been variously called, is situated
at the junction of the Bosphorus and
the Sca of Marmora, and mey be said
to be composell of three distinct towns,
viz., Stamboul, PerarGalata and Seutari,
The two first named are on the Eu-|
opean shore, and are divided by the
creek called the Golden Horn, while
Scutari ljes,on the Asiatic side, and is
separated from them by the Bospho-
rus, Stamboul, or Constantineple
proper, occupies the site of ancient By-
zantium, and, like ancient Rome, is
puilt on seven hills. On the first of
these are the Old Seraglio and the fa-
nous mosque of Santa Sophia; Stam-
boul lies on a triangular promontory
washed by the waters of the Golden
Iiorn.on the north, and by the limpid
Sea of Murmora on the south, while the
swift current of the Bosphorus flows
vast its eastern front.
Scutari, although a suburb of Con-
scantinople, is practically a separate
town, the distance across the water
keing about two miles. It largely re-
scmbles Stamboul, both externally and
internally, with its numerous mosques,
its. bazaars, publie baths and manufac-
tories. It willbe remembered chiefly
by English readers on account of
its hospital having, been used by the
Anglo-French army in the winter of
1854-5 and by reason of its beautiful
English cemetery with its monument
to. the heroes of the Crimean campaign.
lis population i is now about 60,000, that
af the whole capital being ahowt 1,500,-
000.
Stamboul is the native city, and con-
tuins most of the government and pub-
liv buildings. Here are situated for in-
stance, the sublime porte (a gateway
of justice, from which the government
of Turkey takes its name), the war
office, the seraglio. the law wourte, the
oTs long hair an eaten mark of
genius?� The answer is: No, notnec-
essarily, but it is certainly a mark of
policy. It does not require any pro-
found wisdom on the part of a public
performer to know that it is better to
be talked about for his ugliness or his.
eccentricity than not to have his per-
sonality discussed at all, and if a man
be so unfortunate as to possess & nor-
mal face and figure, with the average
number of features and limbs, in what
cuarter must he look for individuality
save in his hair?
M. Aime Lachaume, the young
French pianist who is this year touring
with Rivarde, and who did the same
last year with Ysaye, tells how he hap-
pened this season to bloom out.as one of
the long-haired brethren. When he
first came to this country M. Lachaume
wore his hair in every-day fashion, and
also cultivated a rather tenta~ive beard.
Feople heard him play, exclaimed:
oTlow unassuming!� went away, and
torgot him. Since his conversion, how-
ever, the same persors cry: oHow hid-
cous! but the man is evidently a gen-
ius. Bravo!� and they depart. and this.
time do not forget,
It was Ysaye who brevght this
change about. Last year, in the course
of their travels, the two artists found
gether, when Ysaye exclaimed: oItTs
no use, Lachaume, I canTt stand that
beard of yours any longer; it is too
ugly, and it must come off!� .
oBut, my dear man,� answered the
alarmed pianist, oI have taken such
pains to grow that beard; it bus cost me
years of labor and anxiety; besides, you
know one must have something dis-
tinctive about one.�
oYes, of course, I know that, but all
you've got to do is to let your back hair
grow like mine, And theres no time
like the present, either, so you just sit
down in that chair there and weTll make
short work of the business.�
No sooner said than done. In a few
seconds Lachaume was sitting trem-
bling ~in the chair, while the great
voted chin.
oIn future, my dear boy, use a razor,
but never scissors, and you are sure to

The landward side of the city of Theo-
dosing, rebuilt, in 447 A.D. and now in
~a ruinous state, *
Pera-Gulata is the Buropean or Chris-
tian town, and the center of business,
e xchange, and ~steamship end mer-
chant®T offices being in Galata: Mostof
stantinople, where all the European
shops are, is the Grande Rue de Pera,
Tepe Bachi, along which the Pera-
Galata trams run, and where the best
hotels, the British embassy and the
Petits Champs Municipality gardens
are situated, The Yildiz Kiosk, where
at present the sultan resides, is practi-
cally in the country, about four miles
from the sublime porte. The palace
is surrounded by. ~barracks, where a
large force of the Imperial Guards is
quartered; and no strangers are. al-
lowed to enter the gates.
The Golden Horn"La Corne dTOr,
Chryso Keras"call it what you will,
the name of the classic waterway is one
with which toconiure, That its greater
| clory is now gone is not to be disputed;
that it still remains the most interest-
ing strip of water in the world is as lit-
tle to be denied. On one side of it rises
a lordly line of mosques, those of Santa
Sophia, Sultan Mahmoud, Sultan
Selim, Sultan Bajazet, of Snitan Ma-

are the arsenal and the admirality,
barracks and custom houses, prisons
and powder magazine; �,�very one who
wishes to pile up a- block of govern-
ment buildings seeks a site for it on the
shores of the Golden Horn. Until 60
years ago, those who wished to cross
the Horn called up a kaik or waited for
a ferryboat; then it occurred to the
Sultan Mahoud II, that a permanent
| way might. be an advantage, Accord-
ingly he summoned the grand admiral
-"no less important an official is eus-
todian of the Golden Horn"and bade
him see the thing should be done, the
sultan adding significantly that he

BULLION EMS3ROIDERY.
Little Shops Where Uniforms Are Made
Gorgeous with Gold.
One sees from the sidewalk of a quiet
street cast of Third avenue a Lig base-
ment shop where two or three girls are
frames. The sampies of their work
displayed in the windows show that
they are making bullion embroidery
to decorate the coats.or caps of. mili-
tary officers, policemen, and. others
whose trades or professions require
| un~forms. There is ~less to be done in
the bullion embroidery trade in this
city than in most old world cities, but
there is a constant and growing de-
mand for the handiwork of the bullion
einbroiderers, and the trade is one that
keeps its.own in spite of labor-saving
devices.
syliion embroidery worked direvt! y
upon the stnif of-the cap or coat is still
the proper thing for the uniformed
man whe would have al! his raecoutre-
ments right. The embroidery shops
are usually little places, and the pro-
prietor is sometimes @ woman, The
frame is a simpleT device of hard wood,
enlarged or reduced in acvordance
with the needs of the particular picce
of work:-in hand. The embroiderers
are usually girls, often very young,
though the cesigners are sometimes
men. Embroidery designing is not a
very difficult business, because~ little
originality is demarded, sinee the trade
has well-established traditions, and
there are.plenty of books to guide the
designer. ~There are no new designs
toT be-made in masonic, military or
naval emblems, and even the myriad
shooting clubs of the German quarter
are not tikely to require anything that
will demand great ingenuity of the em-
broidery designer.
The girls that do the aetua! work of
bullion embroidery are often native
Americans, though the trade is mainly
controlled by. foreigners, French .and
German for the most part. The par-
ticular shop here indicated is managed
by-a Hebrew, and the pretty girls vis-
ible from: the street as they lean over
their. work seem to have. Jewish fea
tures. "N, Y. Sun.

town on the road to prosperity again.

Monday we asked Mr. J. N. Hart, of

started opening their hardware business
here and. lost in the fire all the goods

replied, owe will stay in Greenville. If

any other way we will buy a lot and

kind of talk we like to hear. Green.

Look Up.
Kind nature has senta snowy man-
tle and even robed in white beauty the
dismal wreck that covers a portion of
the town. Maybe this was to shut it
out from view for the time being, keep
us from looking despondently upon the
iuins, and give us time to take heart
and resolve to again: bring beauty out
of the chaos underneath, Ifwe only
try tolook on the bright side, leave
hopefully to the future, all will be well.

Do Something at Once.
The citizens of the town should not
neglect another day to do something
toward getting a water supply. ~Phey
should hold a meeting at once and take
such action as will compel those obsti-

There has been folly enough along
this line. It another fire should occur
how much better prepared are we to

to sit still until the remainder of the
