THE TWO SISTERS.
Mabel Clarrence looked exceedingly well
; in her lovely toilet of crystalized lace, and
1 Ermine’s lx>ld, handsome eyes rested on
her in smiling approval, as he stood beside
j her chair, and leaned his head near her and
i talked in desperately earnest devotedness
| that set all the other young ladies angrily
jealous.
“Your character of Frost is tastefully I
chosen and artistically repres«nted. Miss 1
Clarrence. Do you know you ought always |
to wear white? I wish you would.”
She lifted her blue eves in that distracting
way that iiad played such sad havoc with j
men’s hearts.
Then she rippled out a dainty little laugh. I
“Such an idea, Mr. Ermine! Suppose I 1
should ask you to adopt as your everyday
apparel that elegant and becoming bandit
chief costume you have on!”
He drooped his dark, brilliant face nearer
her sparkling one.
“Well? Would I not accede to that or
any other request you might make of me?
What happiness to be under the orders of
so fair a commander.”
And the tone of his voice, the glow in his
handsome eyes made her pulses thrill with
the hope that had more than once come to
her since this glorious king among men had
come among them, for the first time in
years, making the magnificent old ancestral
homo fairly seintillaut with mirth and
gayety.
Then she laughed.
“Would it really be happiness to serve
under my Hag? Then consider yourself
under imperative orders to promise to do
something for me that I have a fancy for
you to do. Mr. Ermine, I have an idee you
could not select any imaginable disguise in
which I would not recognize you. I want
you to try again—something that will prove
to y<m that I can detect you uuderthe coni-
pletest mask.”
Her lovely blue eyes were even more coax
ing than her sweet, persuasive voico.
Her cheeks were delicately Hushed, her
dainty mouth smiling, and Ermine thought
how passing fair she was.
So there was a tinge of something even
more marked than usual in Ids manner as
he answered.
“I take up the gauntlet, Miss Clarrence,
and warn you beforehand you will not write
success on your banners unless—I dare not
flatter myself, dare I--that your eyes are
sharpened by”
What he would have added was most ef
fectually prevented by a sweet, fresh voice,
anil Madge Clarrence, Mabel’s younger sis
ter, joined them.
“We must lie going home, Mabel, for you
remember we promised maminanottostay
later than midnight.”
Ermine did not see the quick, wrathful
look Mabel flashed on Madge, for he was
looking at the petite, slender figure and the
plain face, and noting the demure air of the
girl who was beautiful Mabel’s sister, yet
so utterly different that it was hard to im
agine them even distant relations.
And indeed Madge looked more demure
than ever in her quaint masquerade cos
tume of “Charity,” with its quiet brown
shades that matched so exactly her bright,
intelligent eves.
Ermine protested against their early de
sertion.
“I shall feel quite the inconsolable host
with two such blight particular stars gone.
Do stay and let me trust to my powers of
penitent persuasion with Mrs. Clarrence to
morrow.”
And so they went home, and Mr. Ermine
assisted them to their carriage and was re
warded by Madge’s cheery “Thank you”
and a shy, half-worshipful, half-roguish
glance from Mabel’s blue eves.

The September sunshiuo streamed in
through the windows of the Clarrence din
ing-room—a small, cosoy room, with gay
carpet and pictures, and the table spread
in the middle of the floor—and lighted up
with wonderfully vivifying radiance tiie
spotless linen and simple, pretty china and
glass; and also lighting up, but with no
glad reflection of radiance, the pale, patient
face of an elderly invalid lady, who sat
wearily behind the breakfast service—Mrs.
Clarrence, between whom and her beautiful
daughter Mabel were still traces of vivid,
yet pitifully faded resemblance.
Opposite Mrs. Clarrence Madge sat, fresh
and irreproachable as to toilet, which was
a simple cambric wrapper, with dainty dim
ity, ruffling at the neck.
And at one side sat Mabel, her lovely
golden hair skewered with a long hair-pin,
and her forehead lashed with crimping-
pins ; her showy morning dress soiled and
semi-buttonless, wholly collarleas, and her
tiny feet thrust into sjovenly slippers.
Mrs. Clarrence poured out the coffee as
she chatted with the girls, in her motherly,
interested way.
"Tell me all about the party last night,
children; you were so good to come home
early.”
Madge looked up brightly.
“It was delightful, mamma. Forest
Lawn is a most elegant place, and the com
pany was well chosen.”
Mabel sat frowning crossly at the steam
ing coffee.
“Mamma, you know I perfectly hate cof
fee! YVhy didn’t you tell Bridget to make
chocolate. I shan’t touch coffee.”
Gentle Mrs. Clarrence’s face looked sud
denly distressed.

“Then why didn't you make it your
self?”
Mrs. Clarrence flushed, and she gave Ma
bel a sad, reproachful look; then another of
warning towards the open door.
“What are you pantomiming about, for
heaven’s sake? Madge, it is laughable to
see the angelic disgust on your face.”
Madge went on with her breakfast quiet
ly.
“If my face shows my displeasure anti
grief at the sauoy way you speak to mam
ma, it only betrays half what I feel. Per
haps when you know there is a stranger in
the kitchen, eating his breakfast that
Bridget gave him, and who hears every
word you say, you will bo induced to speak
at least a trifle more respectfully, even if
you don't mean it.”
Mabel’s ii]) curled.
“What do you sup|H>sc I care for a stran
ger? Mamina, aiu I to have my chocolate
or not? Bridget? You lazy tiling, where’s
my. chocolate?”
And Bridget not being that second on the
spot to answer Mabel rushed angrily outin-
to tiie kitchen in search of her. to And in
stead a rough-bearded, ragged-clothed
man.
“I don't sec \vli\- you'eouldn’t have eaten
your breakfast outside.. The idea of mam
ma being such ail idiot as to allow beggars
in the house! Be quick as you cau, and
get out!”
Evidently pretty Mabel was in the prov
erbial ill-humor that comes after a night of
dissipation.
She shimmed closet-doors in her search
after the chocolate, and alternately scolded
Iter mother, berated Bridget aud tantalised
Madge, ttnlil at last she grew so angt y over
the tempest she was raising that she threw
herself into Uni chaii iu a veritable fit of
stubborn sulkiness.
Then, Madge having insisted on her moth
er taking a walk in tiie sunny garden, she
went into the kitchen.
“Pleasant morning, isn't it? What a pity
Bridget didn’t give you your breakfast a
little more appetiziugly. Here, do make
the remnant of your coffee at least palata
ble.”
She was so cheery tiiat her very presence
was like a ray of sunshine, and the man,
although he .seemed unable to uuderstand
her, bowed several times in token of his
thankfulness and appreciation as she
placed a tiny jugof milk, tiie sugar-bowl
and a butter plate on the table beside him.
Then she flew nimbly round and deftly
prepared a pot of chocolate, toasted a slice
of bread and carried it in to her sister,
pouting in the cushioned chair.
“Come, my lady, don’t punish yourself
because you happen to be a little out ot
temper. Come, dear, eat, drink and be mer
ry, and let's tain about Mr. Caryl Ermine.”
Madge’s infectious good humor, the 6ight
ct tiie toast and the chocolate conquered,
ami Mabel permitted herself to be coaxed
into tiie gossip she really enjoyed.
“It was glorious last night, wasn’t it?
Madge was it only imagination, or did he
really pay me very marked attention?”
Madge laughed.
“He was very courteous to everybody.
Yes, come to think of it, Mabel, hedjd dance
witli-you three times', with Miss Lester
twice, and witli other less fortunate crea
tures only once.”
“Which latter list includes yourself. Evi
dently lie wasted no special admiration on
yourself,” said Mabel.
Tiie cruel, uncalled-for sarcasm cut
Mtidge to the very heart—that fond, true
womanly heart that knew 110 jealousy, no
envy.
Her answer was very quiet, very honest,
but her sweet, sensitive lip quivered.
“No, Mr. Ermine wasted no s[>eeial ad
miration on me. Why should he, when you
were there? How could he, anyhow, when
there is nothing about me to attract any
•man’s notice?- All the same”—and the old,
sweet content thrilled through her tones—
“I am very well satisfied. Y ou shail make
the grand match one of these days, and
mamma and I will live alone and keep each
other company.”
Mabel sneered.
“It’s very little comfort you’ll get under
such an arrangement. Mamma does de
mand more waiting on than any one I ever
saw, and you are silly enough to humor all
her whims. Well, thank Heaven the pros
pects arc favorable for my getting out of
this stupid little hole. There, Madge, I’ve
spilled that greasy chocolate on tiie table-
cover. Run—get a cloth and wash it off.”
Madge gathered up the cups and went in
to tiie kitchen, where the man stood by the
door, waiting evidently to thank her, which
he did, in a broken patois, Madge guessed
at more by his gestures than anything
else. ‘

The counsel for the boat obseived that
the bull should be nonsuited, 1 ecause, in
his declaration, he had not speeilitsl what
color he was of; for thus wisely, and thus
learnedly, spoke the counsel.—My lord, if

[London Christian World.)
I know not—the way is so misty—
The joys or the griefs it shall bring.
What clouds are o’er hanging the future,
What flowers by the roadside shall spring;
But there’s One who will journey tieside me,
Nor in weal nor in woe will forsake;
overruled this motion myself, by observing 1 And this is my solace and comfort -
Ermine, walking to and fro on the balcony
that commanded a view ot hill and dale,
valley and stream, watched the wide car
riage-road down which presently came the
barouche, its prancing horses and liveried
servants, and from which he saw Mabel
Clarrence’s exquisite pink and fair face,
with its laughing, joyous eyes end floating,
lovely hair -a vision beautiful enough to
have made any man’s pulses stir.
Only that it was tiiesight of another face
beside Mabel’s-pure, .thoughtful, almost
plain, yet so thoroughly womanly, strenght-
ful and happy—Madge Clarrence’s face, the
sight of which thrilled Caryl Ermine to his
very soul, tiie touei of whose hand as he
assisted his summer-day guests from the
carriage he had sent for them, sent his
heart all a-throb.
Little Madge had never dreamed Mr.
Ermine cared for her until that day, when
he told her so.
“If it had been Mabel, Mr. Ermine,” she
said, in her sweet, unselfish way. “How
ever could you have passed out beautiful
Mabel to—to—look at me?”
He laughed and gathered her in his
arms.
“Docs that mean you don’t love me; or
that, you think tiiat I had better transfer
mv allegiance to Mabel, tlio beautiful?”
She nestled closer to him, looking up with
such tender eyes.
“Oh, no, no! I could never give you up-
now. Only I don’t understand it at all.”
“He smoothed her rippling hair softly.
“Let me tell you a little story. Once up
on a tlqac there a—a—well, we’ll call him a
beast, wiio agreed with beauty that it would
lie quite fair to disguise himself and see if
beauty could detect him, which she was so
sure she could do. Well, this beast did dis
guise himself and instead of beauty discov
ering him he discovered a wonderful pearl.
That’s all. Kiss me, pearl.”
****** * *
Tiiat was all Mr. Ermine ever told and it
was all Madge ever knew, while Mabel,
chagrined and disappointed at her ill luck,
at last yielded gracefully and made a very
fair sister-in-law, never dreaming in all her
life that the man in her mother’s kitchen
had altered all her life for her.
that bull was a white bull, and that was no
color: besides, as I tol l my brethren, they
should not trouble their heads to talk
of color in the law, for law can color
any thing. This cause being afterwards
left to a reference, upon Ihe award both
bull and boat were acquitted, it being
proved that the tide of the river carried
both away; upon which* I gave it as my
opinion, that, as tho tide of the river carri
ed both bull and boat away, both bull and
boat had a good action against the water
bailiff.
My opinionjbeing taken, an action was
issued, and, upon the traverse, this point of
law arose, how, wherefore, and whether,
why, when, and what, whatsoever, where
by, as the boat was not a compos mentis
evidence, how could an oath bo administer
ed ! That point was soon settled by Boat-
um’s attorney declaring that, for his client,
he would swear any thing.
The water-bailiff’s charter was then road,
taken out of the original record, in true
law Latin; which set forth, in their decla
ration, they were carried away either by
the tide of flood or the tide or ebb. Tiie
charter of the water-bailiff was as follows:
‘Aquce bailiff! est magistrates in clioisi, sa
por ominbus iishibus qui habuerant finnos
et scales, daws, shells, et tales, qui swiin-
inare in freshibus et vel saltibus riveries,
lakes, pondis, canalibus, well-boats, sive
oysteri, prawni, whitini, shrimpi, turbutus,
soalus;’ that is, not turbots alone, butturn-
bots and soals both together.
But now comes tiie nicety of the law;
the law is as nice as a new laid egg,
and not to be understood by addle
headed people. Bullum and Boalum men
tioned both ebb and flood to avoid quib
bling; but it being proved that they were
carried away neither by the title of flood,
nor the tide of ebb, but exactly upon the
top of high water, they were nonsuited; but
such was the lenity of tiie court, upon tlieir
paying ail costs, they were allowed to begin
again, de novo.

Bullum Versus Boa turn—By A. G. Stevens.
I,aw 19 law, law is law, and as in such
and so forth, and hereby, and aforesaid,
provided always, nevertheless, notwith
standing. Law is like a country dance;
people are led up and down in it till they
are tired. Law is like a book of surgery,
there area great many terrible cases in it.
It is also like physic, they tiiat take least of
itare best off. Law is like a homely gen
tlewoman, very well to follow. Law is al
so like a scolding wife, very bad when it
follows us. Law is like a new fashion, peo
ple are bewitched to get into in it; it is also
like bad weather, most people are glad
when they get out of it.
We shall now mention a cause called
‘Bullum versus Boatuni.’ It was a cause
that came before me. The cause was as
follows :—
There were two farmers; farmer A. and
farmer B. Farmer A. was siezed or possess
ed of a bull; farmer B. was seized or posses
sed of a ferrj’-lioat. Now the owner of the
ferry-boat, having made his boat last to a
post on shore, with a piece of hay, twisted
rope fashion, or, as we say rulgo racato, a
hay-band. Alter lie had made his boat
fast to a post on shore, as it was very
natural for a hungry man to do, he went up
town to dinner; fanner A.’s bull, as it was
very natural for a hungry bull to do, came
down to look for a dinner; and observing,
discovering, seeing, and spying out, some
turnips in the bottom of the ferry-boat, the
bull scrambled into the ferry-boat; he ate
up the turnips, and, to make an end to his
meal, fell to work upon tiie hay-band; the
boat being eaten from its moorings, floated
down the nver, with the bull in it; it struck
against a rock, beat a hole in the bottom
of the boat, and tossed the bull overboard;
whereupon the owner of the bull brought
his action against the boat for running away
with the bull. The owner of the boat Brought
his action against the bull for running
away with the boat. And thus notice of
trial was given Bullum versus Boatum,
Boatuni versus Bullum.
Now the counsel for the bull began with
saying, ‘My lord, and you gentlemen of the
jury we are oounsel in this cause for the bull.
We are indicted for running away with the
boat. Now, my lord, we have heard of run
ning horses but never heard of running bulls
before. Now, my lord, the bull could no
more run away with the boat than a man
in a coach may be said to runaway with
the horses; therefore, my lard, how ana ws
punish what is not punishable? How can
we eat what is not eatable? Or he#
can we drink what is not drinkable? Or,
M the law says, how can we think on what

A correspondent of the Milledgeville Un
ion & Recorder has some remarks on (tie
negro dialect as it appears in the newspa
pers, which so far as they apply to “Uncle
Remus” are eminently just and proper.
It will not be considered invidious for the
writer hero to say that so far :ts the effi>rts
of “Uncle Remus” to reproduce the dialect
of the old plantation negro—the flavor and
essence ot his thought and style concern
ed, that they are flat and dismal failures
from beginning to end—110 more represen
tatives in an artistic sense than the stale
jokes of the end-man of a negro minstrel
show.
[Savannah Recorder.]
We have been listening to hear some'of
the Milledgeville advocates rise and in sten
torian tones exclaim, ‘I told you so,’ if the
capital went to Atlanta the officers would
be corrupted by tiie seducing influences of
that city.
So remarks the Americus Recorder. Well,
If you do not hear, ‘I told you so,’ it is, nev
ertheless, a sad and painfnl fact. We have
heard the remark made in Atlanta by some
who are there as legislators, and who vot
ed for Atlanta as the capital, say, that if
the thing was to be done over again they
would vote for old Milledgeville.
Late developments look bad, very bail,
for those State-House officials whose books
have been looked into by investigating com
mittees. We are for a thorough investiga
tion if it takes all fall. A precedent must
be established that public officials shall not
speculate or peculate from the State. Let

FRED DOUGLAS ON IIIE EXODUS.
[New York Evening Post, Rep.]
Mr. Frederick Douglas, in the paper
which was read tor him by Professor Way-
land at Saratoga yesterday, takes a con
servative view of some questions iu which
men of hte own color are especially con
cerned. Without making light of “t lie out
rages committed in some parts of tiie south
ern states against the negro,” but sharing
the “horror and indignation” which they
hare excited, Mr. Douglas regards “tiie
present agitation of an African exodus from
tho south as illtimed anil in some respects
hurtful.” He writes with great plainness
and force on the subject Admitting tiiat
the freedmen have still much to secure, he
contends that they have gained a great
deal. Surely they have, or we may ask
where are the triumphs of tho war and of
the republican party? Mr. Douglass be
lieves that tho men who encourage a forc
ed and unnatural migration mukc a great
mistake, though he denounces tiie men who
propose forecibly to prevent it. It might be
supposed that Mr. Douglas had earned the
right to speak thisquestion.
A GOOD IDEA,
[Constitution.]
The executive committee of the Georgia
State fair association have adopted a reso
lution, which, when carried into effect, will
not only swell the fund for tho benefit of
Hood’s children to the desired sum of $10,-
000, but will add greatly to the exhibits
and interest Jn the goat fair to be hold in
Macon, October 28th. Pursuant to tiie resie
lutions, the committee now call upon each
county In-the state for a small portion of
its product^ the same to be exhibited in the
name of the county or the donor, and auc
tioned off at the cloee of tiie fair, the ag
gregate tproceeds to be invested in Geor
gia bonds aod presented to the children.
Tha plan is for the contributors of each
ooonty VkuiHte their contributions at some
convenient point, say, for instance, the or
dinary's office, and when all are complete
forward them tin the secretary of the state
fair at Macon. It will be so arranged that
railroads will transport them free of charge.
In the event that the ordinary fails to take
aa interest in the scheme, let some promi
nent farmer ar public man take it in
charge and carry, on the good work. Any
mmtitentlnn will be acceptable, and will
help, but it is desired that each count y con
tribute portions of its distinctive products.
Cotton raising counties might each for
ward a bale of cotton; it would take but
ten pouhds qf lint from each of fifty men
to make up a bale, and there are many who
would give ten, nay, twenty times tiie a-

and grass counties animals of all descrip
tions. The contributions will be exhibited

! >ver the grave of a three-year old child,
buried near Milford last year, a beautiful
white swan has ever kept constant watch,
scarcely leaving the mound even to eat.
Any one who attempts a near approach is
greeted with the bird’s shrill cries and pre
paration for an attack. The swan’s mate
endeavored for some time to induce her
companion to return to the lake, but with

Hundreds of people visited the cemetery to
witness the singular conduct of this self-

on the l ight hand corner at a right angle,
“Do you love me?” in tiie left hand corner,
“I linte you;” top corner on the right, “I

A DAUGHTER’S KIXDXESS REWARDED.
I11 the north of Europe is a mountainous
country called Sweden. Its winters are
long, snowy and cold. Its summers are
short, but very lovely and sweet-aired, es
pecially in the valleys between the high
mountains. The inhabitants of that coun
try are noted for tlieir industry, virtue and
contentment.
One morning, a long time ago, a certain
King of Sweden called Gustavus the Third
was riding through a village in one of the
beautiful valleys not far from Stockholm,
the eapital city. As ho passed along he
saw a young girl filling a pitcher with wa
ter that gushed from the cool rocks which
overshadowed the roadside. He stopped at
the fountain and asked the girl for a drink.
She knew hot tiie stranger, but gracefully
stepped forward and lifted tix*i>itcher to
his lips as he sat upon his horse. She was
evidently very poor, but her kindness, so
tenderly expressed upon her countenance,
together with her artless politeness, at
once attracted and touched his heart.—
Judging hy her appearance that she was a
chihl of poverty, he told her that if she
would go to the city he would find her a
pleasant home.
“Ah! good sir,” answer*si the girl, “Provi-
denco placed me hpre, and I am not anxious
to change my position in life. I am con
tent; and if I were not content, it would be
impossible for me to accept your kind of
fer.”
“Indeed! why not?” said the King in
surprise.
“Because my motiier is poor and sickly,”
slip replied.
“And you remain at home to take care of
her?”
“I am her only help and companion,’’
said tiie girl, looking upon the ground. “I
am happy in my lot, and am tiiankful that
I can take care of and comfort the one so
dear to me. No offer, however tempting,
could induce me to leave my mother.”
“Where is your mother?” inquired the
king, becoming more and more interested
in the noble girl.
“In yon little hut by the side of the road,”
said she, pointing toward the humble
dwelling. It was a low, thatched bniMhig,
covered with moee and vines, very neat
anil clean, but so old and weather-worn
that it afforded but pixir shelter in time of
cold and storms.
Gu6tavu9 alighted from his horse, and
followed the girl into the hut to see her
mother. He found her sick and suffering,
lying upon a bed of straw—a pale, thin wo
man, sinking under her infirmities, and
looking forward to the grave as a bed of
rest. The King was almost overcome at
the pitiable sight, and said, while tears
came into his eyes—ah, yes, ami those
tears were more beautifully radiant and
glorious than the brightest rays that ever
glanced from his crown of diamonds—“I
feel sorry, mother, to And you so destitute
and afflicted.”
“Yes, yes, my dear Sir,” said tiie woman,
in a feeble voice, “but I am glad that God
lias given me an affectionate daughter. She
is always trying to relieve me, and is my
constant comforter. May God in His loyo
remember aud bless her—ray dear child?’
and her voice was choked back by sobs,
and lier lace covered with tears.
The good King wept with tho poor widow.
What a sight! How the angels of heaven
hovered over that lonely hut, breathing joy
unspeakable into three hearts—the suffer
ing woman’s, the sympathizing king’s and
the loving daughter’s. The monarch nev
er received such a blessing on his throne in
the palace, as there in the lone hut by the
wayside.
He handed the daughter a purse of gold.

SENATE.
Atlanta September 15th.—The Senate
met at K>, a. m., the President in the

Met at ten o’clock.
Counsellor Hopkins—“May it please the
Court, the defendant lias lianded his res
ignation of the office of Comptroller-Gen
eral to the Governor. He hasfother tes-
timony, but will offer no more. His reason
for taking this course will be given else
where.”
The counsel for the State retired and
shortly returned.
Manager Turner “We aro constrained,
may it please the Court to ask that thecase

Alston; that lie has failed to visit the
camps regularly, and that ho tried to pro
cure an interest in tho lease.
The report concludes: “From a careful
and impartial consideration of all the testi
mony, your committee are or the opinion
that the evidence shows that tho Principal
Keeper has grossly abused the authority
and power ot' his office by prostituting the
same for his own private gain, and that he
has, therefere, forfeited his right to the
high position of trust he occupies. We,
therefore, recommend that, your honorable
body take such action as may seem proper
in the premises.”
The report, as signed by Messrs. Ivey and
Tatum, exonorates Nelms and declares that

that he has only followed precedents.
