A THEATRE exis 4 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 to’ 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 As we have bd dds \.

HE FOOLED THE GIRL. eee enema 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 o’clock the young man suggested that he would go home; | to get his Simday clothes and return by’ $ o’clock, 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.

One day he.was on guard duty, and was Slowly stepping up and down when an officer approached. Af. ter the usual salute, the officer said : “Let me see your rifle.” The raw recruit handed over his rifle, and a pieased expression stole over his face. As the officer received the weapon he said in'a tone of deepest disguss: _* “You're a fine soldier! You've _ given vp your rifle, and now what _ ae you going to do?” _. The young feliow turned pale, ud putting his hand in his pock- _ @t, drew out a big knife, and, pre- paring for business, said ina voice _ that could not be misunderstood : “Gime that rifle, or Pil bore a hole through you in a minute.” - The officer instantly decided not to play any further with the raw recruit, and the rifle was prompt- ul surrendered.—Pearson's Weex- ST as ¥ Don’t do it.

He was taken to Winchester, 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: “Kiss me for Lizzie.” “The 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 life’s fevered dream is 0’er ; I would fold her to my bosom; look . jnto her soft, bright.eye ; her once before I die. 3 Is she coming? Oh! ’tis 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 death’s 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 she’s 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! I’hear 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 I’ll 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 her love outliveth death. _ 2c ES pore Sere Brevity Brought Its Reward. 4 ce ~eenemremmath Dr. Abernethy, the famous Scotch surgeon, was a man of few words, but he once met his match ina woman.
