When little Lnviuiu Drueino wits loft tin orphan her nunt, Minn Durden, at ouoo proved herself a true friend, Bho came to the donolato Iiouho where the young orphan sat alone, aud took hor to hor arms and to her henrt. "You must go homo aud live with mo always, my precious child," sho said "and I’ll try to comfort you, and you’ll bo a great oomtort to mo. I have a very nice homo indoed, and we nevor lot any tnou come into it." "Don’t you?" asked Laviuia. "Why not?" "Never" said Miss Durdon, "booauso wo de test them, as they desorvo. I have a servant named Peggy; she helps mo to keep them out, aud I never invite auy but- ladies to visit mo, and wo never have any ono to work lor us but women. A woman papered my parlor, and painted my doors aud an old Dutch woman does my garden ing. When I don’t drive, Peggy does, and tho washerwoman's gruud-daughter takes euro of the horse. Don't wo manage niouly?" "Beautifully," said Laviuia. "Oh, dear Aunt., I don’t like men either—only poor papa—" aud Laviuia began to sob—"of course I love him." "Oertanly, that was proper—papas are differ ent," said Miss Durdeu. "I revered my own; but no mon enter my doors. I attoud a church to which a lady has been called,aud my doctor is a lady; 'twill bo so happy—calmly happy, you know. Nobody to tyraunize over us, or make love to us, or auy thing of that dreadful sort." Laviuia was not quite sure that the latter pro ceeding was as dreudlul us Miss Durden thought it; but bho professed perfect acquiescence,aud as time rolled on and her first great grief faded into a memory, she ielt that her aunt’s home was really a very peacelul place. People in the neighborhood laughed at it, and called it Durden Convent. It was well known that no masculino foot ever crossed its threshold; but within it dwelt very pretty girl, a very handsome, middle-aged woman, and the rosiest and most bright-eyed young person xvho ever lived out at service. These were temptations enough for men’s eyes at the windows or in the garden auy bright day; but no mau might hope to outer this paradise, so ull t .ree lived together, strong in their prin ciples, biddiug defiance to all munkind, and vowing to shut it out forever. One morning, however, Peggy came into tho room where Miss Durden aud Laviuia sat at breakiast, her eyes popping out of her head, and hor voice quite gone with trigbt, aud gasped: "Oh, Miss! Oh ! Oh, dear! I hero’s a mau in the garden!" "A mau?" cried Miss DuMen. "Yes, Miss, " said Peggy. "Tell him to go out," said Miss Durdeu. "It’s no use," said Peggy, "ho can’t go." "Cau't go out ol my garden! What do you mean?" "I think lie’s dead, please," said Peggy. At this—deud men being exceptions to the general rule- Miss Durden aud Laviuia ran into the garden. Now this garden was peculiarly situated. It ns in a high region, and the precipitous side of a hill was its boundary at the rear. Over this bill some unfortunate wight might have been xpected to tumble into the garden, at last. Lcow hadalreudy done so. At all events, some one had. There, on his back, with a pallid faoo and blood upon his hair, lay a young mau. If he was not dead, he looked like it. "Oh—oh, run lor the doctor, Peggy!" cried Miss Durdeu, wringing her hands. "She’s gone to Boston, Miss,” she said. "Then you must call ou some ono else," said Durden. “Auy doctor. It’s not for us, you know.” So Peggy ran to Dr. Brightly’s aud Dr. Brightly, a plump old bachelor, returned with her. Hearing what had happened ho brought with him Tom, the ooachmAU, to assist. Aud now there were three men in tho garden ot Durden Home. The three women regarded them irorn a distauce aud kept sileuce. At last the doctor spoke: "You are the lady of the house, ma’am?" "Yes," said tho person addressed, "I am Miss Durden." "Which room shall we carry tho patient to?" said the doctor. "Which morn?" repeated Miss Durden,faintly. "Yes, he’s broken a leg uud a rib,” said the doctor. "Ol course he can’t be moved lar, and you’ll have him on your hands ior a week or two." "Aunt, dear, the blue room," said Laviuia. "Yes Miss, the blue room,’ said Peggy. "I wouldn’t bo inhuman for tho world," said Miss Laviuia. "The blue room, ot course. Oh!" she sighed as she led the way, "why eonldn’t a toumun have fallen over tho hill in stead of a man ?’’ But a man hud lallon, as meteors do, iuto Dur deu Convent—and now the blue-room was his. The dootor came and went, aud Tom, the coach man, was installed us nurse. The house really seemed overrun with men. The two ladies often reinurkud as much to each’ other. Peggy said the same thing. "But, then," said Miss L'urden, "oue must be charitable; aud this young mau might have died if wo had not admitted him.” "Yes, Aunt," Bald Laviuia, “und we should have felt exactly as though we had murdered him.” "Aud then the doctor was so firm," said Miss Durden. "I detest men, as you know, but the quality I admire most in a man is firmness; be would have this joung man here.” "Oh, Torn says the doctor always has his own way,” interrupted Peggy. “ Tom 1 Who is he ?” asked Miss Durden. "The doctor’s coachman, Mr. Thomas, please, Miss," replied Peggy. "Say so in future, then,” said Miss Durdon. "Yes, ma’am," said Peggy. But Miss Durden, baviug admitted a patient to Durden Hall, wu* obliged to feed him, and she could not leavo all the dainty mosses for Peggy to arrange; aud shortly it was but Christian oharity to read aud talk a little to him. U| on this Lawinin auuouuoed her inten tion of sacrificing hor feelings by assisting Miss Durden. And now here was tho youngest of the recluses reading poetry to a young gentleman. Shortly another dreadful thiug happened. Dr. Brightly actually hinted to be asked to lunch. He was asked. Behold the chatelaine pouring out tea for a mau, passing him the pickled sal mon, urging him to taste her preserves ! At last one day the patient, still quite an in teresting invalid, got down stairs, and lour peo ple sot iu the parlor. There was a piano aud music; aud wheu that same interesting patient begged for a song, what could Miss Burden do but say: "Yes, Laviuia, sing souiethiug, since Mr. Audiey desires it-” A lew days alter the astonishraeut of the neighborhood knew no bounds. A quartette sang delightfully ita the parlor ol Durdeu Con vent Two male voices—two female. What was the world cotniog to? And out iu the hall two stood, listening—Peggy and Tom—and they were very tloBe toother. That evening tho patient, with many warm expressions of gratitude, took leavo of Miss Dur den. Wo ought to bo very thankful it is over, and our borne our own again," said Miss Durdeu, as she locked tip for tho night, with Laviuia and Peggy following her as candle-bearers; "but it seems a little—what shall I say ?" "A little lonesome, Aunt," suid Laviuia. "Awful lonesome, please, Miss, said Peggy. It's Hkittish to bo alone in a house with only women folks." I can't help thinking some ono may bo hid den up iu the garret," said Miss Durden. "Oh!"squealed Peggy, "might I run for Tom —I mean Mr. Thomas ?" "NonBonso 1" said Miss Durdon. "It shows how demoralizing men are. Wo folt safe enough before all theso people came. XVo might all go > in tho garret together and see if all is right.' Thoy wont, and catno down all heltor-Bkolter, and pale with fright—for a mouse had scamper ed up tho wall. In the parlor Miss Durdon read family prayers, but after thoy were over Peggy did not duok aud retire as usual. Bho lingered, measuring her apron between her hands, and evidently having something on her mind. At last, being requested to speak out, sho be gan to cry instead. "I’m sorry to offond yon,Miss," she said "and it's wrong of me I know. But please, Miss, ho made mo do it. He’s got such a way with him, Miss. I—I’ve promised to marry Tom—I mean to say Mr. Thomas, tho doctor’s coachman.” "Oh," said MisB Durden, "if you’ve promised to marry him, you might as well call him Tom. I suppose it can't make matters any worse." "No, Miss," suid Peggy. "I hope you’ll be bappy, Peggy,” added Miss Dnrden, "but marriuge is a lottery.” "Yes Miss, thank you," said Peggy. "I thought you'd be much madder, if you’ll excuso me Miss.” "I thought so myself," said Miss Durden. "Auntie, darling," suid Laviuia, at this mo ment, "since you forgive Peggy,perhaps I might as well confess now. I shall have to do it some time. I—I’ve been as bad as Peggy. But you know how it came about, aud, of course, some one bad to read to him. Aud one day I was read ing Maude, and bo—oh, be began to say such Uautiiui thiugs. And ho isn’t like any other young man I ever saw—and—well, Auntie, I’m engaged to Mr. Audiey 1" "I suspected as much," said Aunt Durden. "She isn’t very mad yet," said Peggy. Suddenly Miss Durdeu beguu to laugh. Moreover, sho hid her face in her pooket-haud- kerchiel. No,” she said, "I’m not angry. I have no right to be. I’ve been wondering all day bow I to confess something. You’ve made it easy tor me. I—dear uie, can’t you guess? I’m en gaged to the doctor. He has such immense firmness—such a will. Once he had all his iniud on it, it was done." So Durdeu Nunnery lost its name aud lost its mistress. As in the enchanted garden in the fairy talc, the entrance of one man broke all its spells, even though the gate was not opened to him, and he only loll iuto it by accident.—N. Y. Ledger. PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN. When wo were all children at borne, nothing delighted us so muoh, snid a friend, as a romp with my father. The hour of his coming homo was muoh enjoyed by all. I often think it all parents would play with their children, home discipline might entirely lose its severe aspect mid become a law of love. Children are not tuudo good by tho rod of power. How many parents are willing to devote an hour or so to play with the child en? As a little kitten will stop lapping hor milk to play with a string you draw uoross the floor, bo will the ohild leave almost anything for n romp with its father or mother. In theso romps and during these moments of recreation, tho groat lesson of love is learned by tbo child. This close companionship makes tho bond be tween the parent uud child, which results iu tho future acceptance of advice and guidance. Per haps you are naturally a dignified person, and unaccustomed to play. Bo when your infant first came to you, you were not accustomed to its care;but you did not for that rcuson allow it to go uucared ior. If you are harassed by worldly anxieties, tho recroation will benefit the obild, and your sleep will bo the sounder for it. The experiment is worth trying. AI1V1CK TO GIRLS, An exchange says: "Why will girls ran away to get married?" "We give it up," answers the Louisville Courier Journal. "But we know a lot here who would be glad enough to walk off and get married. The boys ain’t around askiug tbetn like they did. It takes more money to run them uow-a-days tban it does to run a steam boat. Ab I girls, it's your own fauit. Bwap off yoar silks and satius for lawns and calicoes; shut up the piano,dive into the wash-tub; tbrow your fancy needle-work and tackle a red-hot stove in the kitoben. Instead of taking Brown, the banker's son, in the parlor, keep your eye skinned for Bill Burns, the black-smith’s son, as he goes home from work; kiss his dirty face through a broken pane of glass in tbo kitehen window, and afto- while, when he has learned his trade and you know your business, get married, go to house-keeping by yourselves, help ench other, live happily, raise a family that will be an honor to your names aud credit to themselves, die happy aud tho angels will not turn their backs upon you up there." #10,000 WORTH OF DRY GOODS* 80,000 WORTH OP BOOTH AND HIIOKB. #0,000 WORTH OF CLOTHING. #1,000 WORTH OF HATH AND CAPS. #0.000 WORTH OF NOTIONS, CROCKERY, AND NUNDRIKH.

At the recent meeting at the American Med- icul Association iu Chicago, Dr. N. S. Davis, tv distinguished physician of that city, road a very interesting paper iu regard to tho proper treat ment of inebriates. Dr. Davis insists that re peated arrests for drunkenness, followed as they always e by petty sentences, do much more harm than good. They aggravate the evil in stead of eujing it, and toooitou urge the drunk ard iuto the commission ot crime. He proposes, us a substitute for tho arrest system, the com mittal of iuebiia es—ou the certificate of two competent physicians—to uu asylum for a term ol oue year or more years. During their stay in the asylum they are to bo compelled to vork, and iu this way meet the expenses inourrtd iu their support. The object is uot so much the punishment of the drunkard as permanent re ins besetting sin. In other words, UNCONDITIONAL SUBBENDEB OF THE NEZ PEBCE8. Fobt Benton, Mont., Oct. 10.—Since the first battle of General Miles with Joseph’s baud, tho troops have been holdiug tbo bostiles in a nar row ravine, and have picked them off from rifle pits, losing only four men themselves. Joseph raised the white flag four times, offering to sur render if he might keep his guus. General Miles demauded un unconditional surrender. On the last day Joseph raised the flag again, ad vanced in front of the lines, handed his gun to General Miles, and shook hands with him. The remainder of tho command did the same. Forty wounded Indians wore found in the camp. The number of the dead is unknown, as all were buried. The glory of the fight rests with Gou erul Miles. Tho iutreuchmeuts ol tho Nes Perces were ingeniously constructed. Their bravery was unsurpassed throughout the fight, aud are credited with numerous acts of human ity to wounded whites. 4-4 7-8 3-4 Hea-Islands Full stock always on hand :hats, shoes, &c.

They refresh and brighten hor whole lile. They make her strong-hearted and keou-sighteil in everything affecting her home. They enable her to cheer her husband when the cares of life press heavily upon him, and to be a very provideuce to her children. To know that her husbaud loves her, and is proud of her; that even her faults are look ed upon with temle ness; that her lace, to at least, is tho fairest face in the world; that the heart which to her is the greatest aud noblest, holds her sacred in its inmost recesses above all women, gives her a strength, and courage, aud sweetuess, and vivacity \>hioh all the wealth of the world could not bestow. Let a woman’s life be pervaded with such an influence, aud her heart and mind will never glow old, but will blossom aud sweeten aud brighten in per petual youth. Whale College.—The Eatonton Messenger is responsible ior the following: A Primitive Baptist minister, during the general meeting Ciooked Creek Church, in this county, a few weeks ago, speaking about the impression hav ing gotteu abroad that the "Hardshells” are op posed to education, said: "We want tho kind of knowledge old Jouah possessed, lor he learned more in three days while attending whale col lege than has ever been taught at Peufield,Greene county." Heavy ou the college boys, still we would take his word rather thau spend a short term at whale college.

Dr. Bower has raised as muoh as 84 bushels of upland rice on oue aore, which sold at $1.60 per bushel, would bring $12G. One good word is due tobacco. An Ohio cou ple quarreled, and iu the heat of the moment the mau packed his carpet-bag and left her for ever. A short distauce Irom the house he discov ered that he had forgotten his tobacco-box. To go back for it was the work of a moment. Then, baviug filled his mouth with the weed, he looked upon his wife with mollified eyes, aud in anoth er moment both were protesting that they had only been in fun anyhow. Don’t You Do It.— Don’t woik too hard. Don’t work so hard that you cau’t go home at night and jaw uround if supper isn’t ready and have strength to kick things around, and get up alter supper feeling renewed strength and go down town and play billiards till ono o’clock and come home and sleep till nine. No don’t work too hard. It is best to have a little pleasure well as work in tho world; besides, work breaks down the constitution. The New York Tribune calls for a rigid inves tigation of every savings bauk iu the East & West, and adds: "The fact that men do not kuow their losses, and are still counting as prop erty that which has loug ago been spent, gam bled away, or stolen, is the oue thiug which, above all others,returds the return of confidence uud the revival of prosperity. Many carelessly infer that the increase of money at bix per ceut. is just twice as rapid as at three per ceut.; but in reality the increase is vastly more than this. In 100 years, at six per cent., the increase ou any given sum is about eighteen times as much us at throe per cen* The increase at five per ceut. is about eleven times as much as at two and a half per cent., while at ten per ceut. it is more than one hundred and five limes greater thau at five per ceut. for tho period u \med.—liichmond Dispatch.

CARPET-BAG RETRIBUTION. A few yeurs ago there was a band of South Carolina jobbers sucking the life-blood of the State, aud from whom there seemed no hope of rescue. But the slow-grinding mills of the gods huve now got nearly all of them between the upper and nether millstones. The colored sure ty of ex-Treasurer Cordoza has surrendered him to prison; ex-Governor Moses has turned State’s evidence; ex-Seuator Sawyer iB under convic tion, though claiming a new trial; ex-Anditor Nagle is a fugitive; ex-Treasurer Parker is will ing to conlesB against himself aud bis associates Senator Patterson is at Washington with Gov ernor Hampton’s requisition hangiug over him on account of criminal indictments founded on evidence furnished by some of his own party, aud even ex-Governor Chamberlain may figure iu Columbia iu a different building from that which he once occupied iu that town. He is the last rose of the carpet-bag summer, and all his lovely companions are faded and gone. ON A FIRM BASIS, it commends itself to the patronage of tho public.

She was carried off iu 1865 by his wife, who deserted him, and whom he minutely describes. The daughter is now about fifteen years old, and is only spoken of as being of a florid complexit n. A lady says that the beautiful vistas of her soul-life become blurred when she sends hor husband to the corner grocery with four bits for a loaf of bread, and he comes baok chewing cloves and tells how he generously gave away the change to a poor bliud mau with only one hind leg. % The heavy men ol the Republican party in New York gave the Administration a detonating indorsement last week at Cooper Institute. They iu fuot, squarely repudiated Conkling and em phasized the split in the party. The financial report ot tho Western Union Telegraph Company, shows the net profits last year to have been $3,140,127, of whioh $2,028,- 619 were disbursed as dividends, and over half a million in the construction of new lines and the absorption of rival lines. The Board of Directors of the Coweta Fair Association has authorized the Secretary to give notice that all citizens, male and lenrale, seven ty years old and upwards, will be admitted to the fair free of charge. The following recommendation was made by the grand jury of Bulloch Superior Court at its reoent session: "We recommend that the next Representative of Bulloch county bo instructed to use his influence in having an act passed in the next General Assembly requiring a five thou sand dollar license for selling, either by whole sale or retail,iutoxicatiug liquors within the limits ofBullooh county; aud wo do lurther recommend that no person be entitled to this license to sell himself or through his agent at more than one specified location. Should any person pay a live thousand license for selling liquors in Bul loch county, we recommend that the same be appropriated tor educational purposes." General Jubal A. Early denies a recently published statement that he endeavored to •■break down the reception" of President Hayes at Lyuchburg, Va. He says he was absent from the oity when the arrangements for the reoeption of the Presidential party were perfected, and after his return he made no effort to break down, impede or interfere with the reception. General Early says in taking no part in the reception he aoted according to his own judgment and feel ings, leaving others to do as they thought proper. On the first of September the Moffett register went into operation in Virginia. The official re tarns of the first seventeen days record.in Rich mond alone, were 135,550 drinks of malt liquor and also 127,000, of alcoholic spirits in that time —the tax on the 262,550 drinks being $3,850. Taking this as an verage for the year, the drink tax paid by Richmond will be $102,640 per an num; and estimating the Richmond yield one-fifth that of the State, the total product wi be about $500,000.
