THE OLD MILL "Do I know anything about the raius of this oll iuil3? WVU, jrrs, straur, I say I did, if any una does. It to we, or rathf r to my wife, what there i of it. I t ll you I owe ruut U to thU old will." The eiie;tkf-- was drestl iu hoinet-jiun- , and ai'i ared to be a thrifty farmer of forty five. I had takeu a walk before breakfast one morning as an appetizer out f roiu JonetilKro, where I wa court, and was standing by the ruins of the old mill when he came up. The roof had fallen in, windows and disajjared. The old water wheel had crumbled to decay and green ivy covered the ruin. The dam was now leveled to a road, and a cabbage patch had takeu the place of the mill pond. We took a neat on a moss grown log by the bide of the ruin, and he continued: 'I was with Stonewall during the war, and had some pretty tough time?, and some hard 801119 narrow escapes tramps, but the close call and hard tramp that this old mill once caused me made all of my war experience seem, at least for a time, like a pleasure trip. This was the first mill built on Cedar creek, and was built many years ago by old man Ben White, who lies up yonder on the hill. "After the surrender our army was disbanded, and the most on us was pretty close run. We had nothing, and no way to get anything. I was only about then. I was strolling round twenty-on- e looking for something to do, ami I happened along this road one morning. Well, that morning the wheel was in action. The gate was lasted and the water was skurrying through. Old Den White was standing in the door. I says: " 'Morning, sir. Can I get a job here? lie took off his spectacles, wiped 'era, put 'em back on and looked at me. " 'Soldier? says he. " 'I was,' says I, 'till the surrender.' "Luckier than my boys,' says ha 'One of them staid behind down at Stone river. The other's lying up there on tli" hill shot in front of Richmond ariil come home to die,' and the old man took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes. 'Did von ever work in a mill?' js r g s - 'Well, mat uon t mane mucn uiner- enee, said he; 'business is picking tip and you can stay. I'm getting old. I'll pay you what I can afford to. We can tell better in a week or two. Have you J been to breakfast? I have not,' I said. '"Well, go to the house,' said he. 'Tell Kitty (that's my daughter, the only one the Yanks didn't kill) to give you breakfast, and come back; you can work There's some leaks on the dam that need stopping.' "So I went over the hill to the house. I still had my Confederate uniform on, and Mrs. White met me on the piazza. I saw tears on her cheeks, and I suppose the uniform reiniuded her of her own boys. I told her I was going to work for Mr. White, and that he sent me over for breakfast. So we went in, and she called Kitty, who soon had my breakfast on the table. Kitty was about four years younger than I, the picture of health, cheeks as red as roses. Her sparkling eyes kindled a spark in my heart that has never gone out. After breakfast I went back, and Kitty went with me to tend the mill while her father went to breakfiist. He showed me the leaks in the dam before he went. "In fact, I worked a week patching up the old dam, and after that I worked in the mill and on the farm and in the garden; drove the produce to town, and became more and more attatched to the place and to Ben and Martha White and to Kilty. How I did love that girl! I was never so happy as when listening to the music of her voice. I shall never forget the evenings spent in the big front room lefore the open fireplace when I was Ben White's hired man Ben and Martha, and Kitty and I. I used to crack hickory nuts and butternuts on an old flat iron, and Kitty popped corn, while the winter wind was whistling y. outside. "In summer Kitty and I used to go fishing. Sometimes we would go up the pond in the boat, and sometimes when the mill was not running we'd go down there and get inside the big wheel and fish in tho deep hole. There's where we generally got the finest fish. One day we had just got our fishing tackle out of the mill, and was hesitating whether to go up the pond or down in the wheel, when a neighbor came over and asked us to lend him the boat. He took it, and we went down in the wheel. We'd been fishing probably an hour, aud caught some fine ones, when all of a sudden down poured the water from the floodgate rbove, and the wheel commenced turning. The sudden start threw us both down. I got on my feet in an instant and helped Kitty up, aud we commenced to tramp in the direction opposite to the to way the wheel was moving. We had in order to keep our feet. I was calling as loud as I could, but it was of no use. "The noise made by the falling water, .r. UM permanently.

Proudfit & Cream Prunes SPECIAL SALE CLOSES ! OF News. Modern Furnace and Modern Stove. A little over a century ago Mr. Street, of London, took up the old Roman idea of a hypocaust and made a furnace, which was warranted to warm all part of the house, to conserve the heat and save the fuel, and to overcome all the objections against stoves and braziers. lit must have had a good time fulfilling his guarantees, for the best furnace makers of this later age cannot always accom-- ' plish all they desire or all that Mr. Street promised. But in any one of a dozen good furnaces the problem of heating is perhaps as well settled as it ever can be while we get otir heat from burning fuel. But the furnace has by no meant driven the older stove out of use. Nevet was the enterprise of stovemaking carried on to so great extent as now. Nevet were so many stoves made and sold, never were such skill and art expended in their manufacture, and never were they such things of beauty as now. The modern parlor heater is a triumph no less in art than in utility. To the very greatest possible extent it controls the heat generated, reducing and almost suspending combustion, conveying the gases away perfectly, and even aiding in the work of purifying the atmosphere oi the room, and at the same time intense heat can bo produced with the minimum of trouble. Chicago Herald. Washington's Sword. When John Brown went to conquer men he bethe south with tweuty-thre- e lieved that the less he trusted arms of flesh the more Jehovah might be depended on to unsheathe his sword. The only other sword Brown considered worthy to be used by the Almighty was that which Washington wa3 said to have received from Frederick the Great One of Brown's men (Cook) camo as a spy to Bel Air, and was hospitably shown the Washington relics for which he inquired. Brown told Colonel Washington, after taking him prisoner, that he wished to get hold of the sword "because it has been used by two successful The superstition cost him generals." dear. In order to get the sword Brown detached six of his men to go after it-- five miles away. He thus lost half a day, and all chance of escape.
