An Architect Suggests a Good Pian
For One,
Some days ago the Reriector
spoke of having the address of an ar-
chitect who desired to be placed in
communication with ~any. parties. here
who contemplated building a theatre.
Since then we have received another
letter from the same gentleman in
which he vives a briet suggestion. of a
building that would be an ornament to
the vown and at the same time prove a
paying investment. We; give our read-
ers the benefit of pis pee: ; Se
eure a lot anywhere from 60 to 5 feet
fronteand 150 to 175 feet fie cen"
trally located in the business portion of
the town where stores would demand a
good rental. Put two stores 55 or 60
feet deep on the front with a 12 feet
hall between them. Place the, theatre
in rear of these on the ground floor,
elevated about 4 feet. In the second
story of the building have six or more
nice offices, and on the third floor have
two halls for Masonic, Odd Fellows: or
other lodges. Build the theatre in
three tie s"the first floor toT seat 350 to
400 people, the balcony 200 to 229, the
gallery 225 to 250, in all a seating ca-
pacity of 800 to 900. |
The RerLector would rejoice to see
such @ building as the one suggested go
up in Greenville, though one not al-
together so large in size might be suf-
ficient for theneeds of the town. Such
a theatre building with the stores, of-
tices and lodge halls, and even an
armory might be added, would no doubt
bring in handsome rentals. The ar-
chitect expresses the opinion that here
where the necessary material could be
{| bought cheaply such a building could
be erected at a reasonable cost and
would pay « ood dividend on the in-
vestment.
The ReFLector will be glad to find
somebody interested in such, an enter-
prise as this and will furnish them the
address of the architect if they desire to

said betore Greenville ought to have a
good building of this character and
there is no better time for securing it
than now.

And Her Father Takes Revenge on
the Young Man.
We learn that in Farmville township
a wedding was in contemplation for one
day last week. ~The prospective groum
spent. the night preceding the day set
for the marriage at the home of the
prospective bride to arrange the pre-
hmuinaries, Early next morning he
assisted her father in killing the fatted
pig and barbecuing the same for the
feast. About 11 oTclock the young
man suggested that he would go home;
| to get his Simday clothes and return byT
$ oTclock, the hour s2t for the wedding.
isy the appointed hour the preacher
ve guests had arrived but the young
~man failedto put in an, appearance:
They waited for some time and took
their departure without seeing anys
marriage.
It is now reported that the father of
the girl metthe young man on the:
street in Farmville, Tuesday, and . took
revenge by falling on him and giving
him a thrashing.

FRANK L. STANTON,
There's joy, my dear, in the youth 0T
the year,
When the hearts oT the bright buds
break
And the skies are blue as the eyes 0T
you,
And the blooms blow over - the iho
ThereTs joy, my dear, for the worldT is
fair, :
And love is the sweetest blossom thereT
ThereTs joy, my dear, in the moon 0T
the year,
When the harvest hints 0T gold,
And the soft sun streams with its gleams
and dreams
On your beautiful hair unrolled.
ThereTs joy, my dear, for the world is
, fair |
And love is flie blossom thatTs brightest
there.
ThereTs joy, my dear, in the gray oT the
year
When the snows are drifting white,
And the cold winds cry to the sturless
sky,
And'the last rose weeps, oGood-
, night ?�
ThereTs joy, my dear, for the world is
fair, .
While your love like a lily is blooming
there !

[Colonel Christie, of North Caro-

Va., where he was. nursed tenderly
until his death. Helonged to see his
young wife, his darling Lizme, but
when she reached Winchester he was
|\dead. His last words were: oKiss
me for Lizzie.�
oThe bravest are the tenderest ;
The loving are the darling.�
I am dying; is she coming? Throw
the window open wide.
Is she coming? Oh, I love her more
than all the world beside ;
In her youth and tender beauty,
must, oh? must she feel this loss?
Savior, hear my poor petition; teach
her how to bear the cross.
Help her to be calm and patient
when I moulder in the dust ;
Let her say and feel, my Father, that
Thy ways ace true and just.
Is she coming? Go and listen; I
would see her face once more;
I would hear her speaking to me, ere
lifeTs fevered dream is 0Ter ;
I would fold her to my bosom; look
. jnto her soft, bright.eye ;
her once before I die. 3
Is she coming? Oh! Ttis evening, and
my darling comes not still,
Lift the curtain, it grows darker; it is
sunset at the hill;
All the evening dews are falling ; I am
cold"the light is gone.
Is she coming? Softly, softly come
deathTs silent footsteeps on.
I am going; come and kiss me; kiss
me for my darling wife ;
Take for her my parting blessing ;
take the last. warm kiss of life.
Tell her I will wait to greet her where
the good and lovely are,
In that home, untouched by sorrow ;
tell her she must meet me there.
Is she coming? Lift the curtain; let
me see the falling light,
Oh! I want to live to: see her, surely
she will come to-night,
Surely, ere the daylight dieth, J 4 shall
fold her to my breast ;
With her heart upon my besom,
calmly I could sink to rest.
It is hard to die without her. Look,
I think sheTs coming now ;
I can almost feel her kisses on my
faded cheek and brow ;
I can almost hear her whisper, feel her
breath upon my cheek.
Hark! IThear the tront door open. Is
she coming? Did she speak ?
No! well, drop the curtain softly, I
shall see her tace no more,
~Till I see it smiling on me on the
~ bright and better shore.
Tell her she must come and meet me
in that Eden, land of light ;
Tell her ITll be waiting for her where
there is no death"no night,
Tell her that I called her darling,
blessed her wich my dying breath
Come and kiss me for my Lizzie, tell

PHILOSOPHY NO GOOD.
When It Runs Counter to Muscular Force
in Uniform.
oLook here, mister man!� began a
patrolman as he walked up to a tramy
who had been hanging around the post
office and accosting pedestrians, oyou
want to move on out of this!�.
oYou mean you want me move on?�
queried the tramp. .
oYes, I do!�
oWell, that is quite a different mat-
ter. While I do not want to move on,
you wish me to, and as you represent
force I must go. Did it ever occur to
you how this ~moye onT business might
be drawn out?�
oWhat do you mean?�
A second cop gives the same order. So
it goes to a third, fourth and fifth. In
the course of time where am I? Instead
of being in town you have moved me
out into the country and I must. be at
the trouble of coming back. Did you
ever stop to think that you make a sort
of circulating library of the perfesh
that way ?�
oYou are asking alms on the street
and that is against the law,� replied the
officer.
oAll a mistake, sir. I simply request
the loan of asmallsum. Itiscither re-
fused or granted. I may return the
joan or may. not. I invariably make
use of the term ~loanT instead of ~give.T
It not only sounds better but evades the
law.� = ij
oBut you are a vagrant!� persisted
the officer, who hadnTt any head for
philosophy,
oExeuse me, sir, but you are wrong
again,� replied the man. oI have money
to pay my way. I owe no man a penny
and pay for what i get. I sleep ina
regular bed, wash myself ance a day
and no law can make me out a vagrant.�
oBut I say youTve got to git!� shouted
hte officer, as he made ready for busi-
ness. : :
oThat settles it and I git. ItTs a
question of muscular force in uniform
-versus philosophy in old clothes, and
Fmuseular force carries the day. I go
