A brave Mistake.
The following item in our Georgia News
was taken from tbe New nan Defender:
- Mr. William B. Berry, of Nev nan, is
dead.**
Tlie omission of the letter made tl*e
paragraph a grave mi-take. It sboukl Lave
been that Mrs Berry is dead. It was so pul -
1 Lilted in the Defender. Mr. Berry is alive
a^’i well. _

We are glad to learn from an exchange
that Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island,shaking
to the Episcopal Convention recently,
strongly recommended tlie laity to juocure
life insurance for the families of the r«< tors,
I, cause, l»c said, “not one clergyman in fifty

to say that the L'-rd will provide; hot the

almost destroyed in the very moment of vic

He owned Kentucky property worth $50,-
G*), and Chicago property worth $1,000,000.
When the war liegan he deeded the Chicago
pro|*Tiy to his wife’s brother, Henry Kings
bury, to save it. This estate came through
his wife. Kingsbury via on General Bn.n-
aide’s .-talf, and was killed at An detain. Ii«
executed a will giving bis property to hb
wife, a grand niece of General Zachary Tay
b»r, and to his sister, Mrs. Buckner. A po
thamona child was born. This invalidated
the devise.
The will and a letter of Kingsbury ex |d
in/ s unewhat the deed, were all the evi 1« nee
which Buckner ha<l to base bis suit again*
the guardian of Die posthumous child for tin
property.
A warm legal friend of his took the ra‘i
and followed it up with great zeal and sa/aci
ty, and obtained a few days ago a dim e re
storing to Buckner his wife’s estate. The fir*
in Chicago destroyed its improvements, and
reduced it* value immensely.
General Buckner has since the war been
living upon hi* labors. lie earned a sup)

To the Public.
Misrepresentation is an evil univer. ]
condemned by ull honorable m r n, but vvh i
It assumes the form of calumny secretly « u
ciliated to injure reputation or damage l*i>i
ness, it elicits the loathing and execration o
even the ignoble, and just judgment is lm
visited upon the would Ik* assassin only U
cause of the dastardly garb of secrecy ii
w in Ii lie conceals himself.
Tlie purest and l«cst art* not exempt from
slander anil traduction, and especially fr<
that which atriki** in Ihc dark. Men, there
f„rc, do not deem it necessary to follow 11
and n fute every vile aspersion that may L
act alloat bv a depraved humanity. But the
pens-lent ctfort made to damage The 1

effort prosecuted for years with slreples

SonrcT, and knowing the utter powerles
of any man or combination of men to 1«

fivtions of the )>eople an 1 materially Injun

But we yield to flu* advice of friends—i
with gratitude. The Constitution boastt

CoilRTTrUHl, Ivin/ published at the s« at i
the Slate Government, and having fought th
battle of Democracy, entirely discarding a
other patronage and throwing itself whoTy
upon ihc people and party for support, it is
natural that wc should lliiuk that it
some claim upon the party. The IkauI
ha* waged for the Democratic ) «rty
has not been for a few day
months, but for years it lias ccaskttly
exposed the corruptions and mal-administr;
ti«m of the Radical party in Georgia, as i
flU* and those of our co-laboring brethren of
the press will show, pursuing its course un
swerved by assault, slander and persecution,
inclusive of the Radical Governor’s lame at
tempt at intimidation by a heavy suit for
damages. For these reasons, doubtless. it
was that from every quarter of Georgia liavT
come to us expressions of warm interi >t in
our prosperity, and a desire to sec The Con
stitution share in the fruits of Democratic
victory. But it would be totally unworthy
to do so. if charges asserted against it wen
true. Therefore, wt* have this to say :
On the 24th day of January last, the un-
d -reigned became associated as proprietor^
of The Constitution, one of them having
purchased the half interest of the retiring
member of the old firm. Since that d.*y to
this, the property has been solely and w holly
their*; end any statement that a third party,
corporation, ring, or any set of men wh »!si -
ever, had or have any pecuniary interest in
any shape or form in The CoNsrrrt
Ties, is, in every possible particular, attei-
ly and unqualifiedly false. Further still;
any assertion that any extraneous infli
enee exists to prevent the free and un
trammeled action of The Coxrrrrm *x o
that there is any constraint in any form upon
the proprietors affecting their perfect frccdrir
«>f control. is equally without foundation am
as utterly false. After this explicit avowal, o:

DY ANNUS L. IIOX.BERTOX.
Tlu* autumn wind whistled and moaned
through the swaying branches of the stately
elms that towered above the massive turrets
of Ashley Mansion, and ever and anon spent
its wild passion in a prolonged wail that
penetrated the shaded death-chamber, where
a solemn group awaited the final stroke of the
icy hand that had already set its seal upon
the furrowed brow of Piiillip Ashley. 1 o-
gether beside that couch of death knelt two
stricken forms to receive the hist blessing 01
him who had long sustained a two-fold rela
tion to those motherless ones, and t eir hearts
were nearly crushed with the weight of the
pending blow that was soon to make them
orphans.
Nora Ashler, the eldest of the sisters, was
tall brunette, with faultless form, and a
,ce whose vivid intellect was in harmony
ith its classic beauty. A striking contrast
as the pale, wan face of Mildred, an inno-
*nt, child like face, and yet there was a pit-
v.uis expression in the soft, blue eyes that
impressed one almost painfuly. The shower
of golden brown curls that fell nearly to her
aist, but partially concealed the small, un-
,111th figure that was entirely wanting iu the
raeefui contour that perfected her sisters
. Tin ; for Mildred Ashley was hopelessly
deformed, and from her birth the unfortu
nate child, for the very reason of her linsfor-
e. hail claimed a greater share of care amt
tenderness. „,
“My children,” said the dy ing man, do not
mourn for me, tor I am going to join your
aimed mother, who awaits me in the better
.1; and if the spirits of the departed are
■milled to watch over their loved ones here,
uirs will hover round you in your hours of
rrief; and the Father of the fatherless will
protect you when I am gone. I need not tell
hi, Nora, to comfort and cherish Mildred,
...2 rv-member, my daughter, that I have ever
1:11 your best interests at heart; and what-
er’changes life may bring, trust in the Lord,
d t ime will eventually and surely re ware!
ur trust. Be true to each other and h
ursolvos. Nora, Mildred, my darling*,
farewell!” and the sisters sank weeping i
each other's arms. The sick man spoke
parting word to each of the domestics who
ha<l gathered near, and motioned the ap
proach of two young men who had stood
ileni spectators of the scene.
One was Tfavland Archer, the affianced of
•fora ; and the other Earle Goodwin, a trusty
agent of Mr. Ashley. To the former he
poke something of which these were the
losing words: A* you value my daughter’s
happine-s, may Heaven prosper you!” Ilis
h um fuii from the listless touch of the lin
gers it h td clasped, and met the warm pres
sure of Earle Goodwin's, while he murmured,
Earle, you have been faithful to me; boa
ri**nil to my children.” “God helping me, I
.till” was the fervent reply. A grateful
smile illuminated the tranquil features, and
they knew that the pacing spirit had but
left its impress on the silent clay.
We will draw a vail over that house of
mourning while wc designate our characters
their respective relations.
Phillip Ashley was a wealthy landholder,
who has gained an independence by Iris own
, and the elegant country residence
known :is Ashley Manse was erected under
a supervision. Here he dwelt with his
two daughters after the decease of Iris idolized
wife, and their happiness became the one
object of his solicitude. Both were equally
dear to hiui, and if there* was a softer vein of
tenderness in his pity for Hie poor hunch
backed Mildred, lie looked with :ril a father’s
love and pride on the beautiful Nora, whose
devotion to her sister was only equaled by
her dutiful affection for himself. She was
the presiding genius of his household, the
leen of his home.
Earle Goodwin was the son of his boy
hood's most intimate friend. They had
started in life together, and Horace Good
win’s prosperity bid fair to equal Ins own,
when his sudden decease left a widow and
son to mourn his loss. The son Mr. Ashley
educated and afterward took into his employ,
by which moans they were* provided with a
comfortable livelihood, and with the addi
tion of the mother's savings, they were*, cna
bled to lay by something for the future.
Earle Goodwin was one among ten thousand
noble, talented, and unexceptionable in lib
character and habits. Nora and Mildred had
regarded him as a brother from their child-
hood, and the father approved ami eneoar
aged their intimacy, hoping that one day he
might bestow on him the hand of Nora, for
he had seen that he hived her with more than
brotherly affection, however well he guarded
his secret.
But Eirl Goodwin was too proud to offer
himself in his poverty to the daughter of
his benefactor; and whatever her feelings
might have been, the wealthy Wayland
Archer at length became her accepted lover.
Her father was disappointed in her choice,
but he was not one to interfere in affairs of
the heart, and he received his prospectiv
son-in-law with the best grace lie could. II
was not more favorably impressed when he
came to know him better, yet lie still hoped
for the liest, until he felt the fatal power that
was slowly and surely loosening his hold on
life. But he could not leave, his daughter in
the hand* of one whose motive she believed
to be scarcely deeper than his love of gain,
despite his own wealth, for he saw too plain
ly the selfish, araricous nature beneath the
semblance of the devoted lover, and he de
termined to make one effort to save liis Nora
from atl uncertain fate, though it should
break the pledge that bound her to Wayland
Archer.

The Savannah News reproduces the plat
form adopted last week by the State Conven
tion of the New York Democracy, and adds
that it contains “no allusion to the new de
parture of the fraudulent fourteenth or fif
teenth amendments to the Constitution.”
We do not so read the platform. Here
is the "new departure” plunk :
“Resolved, That we recognize the emanci
pation of the freedmen of the South, and
their enfranchisement and perfect equality
liefore the law, as the inevitable sequence of
the eivil war and the overthrow of the re
bellion against the Union ; and wc hold it to
be the duty of all to sustain them in the en
joyment of their established rights, to aid
them in promoting their welfare und the gen
eral prosperity of the country,”
This is too plain to be misunderstood. It
asserts that negroes are rightfully voters, and
entitled under the law to all the rights of
white men. If any southern advocate of the
new departure goes any further than this we
are not aware of the" fact. Will the News

to be?—Di*patch.

Union Citt,Tenn., October 4.—The Con

aded Gen. Wm. B. Bate at the Southern
Hotel, to-night, and in response he made one
of the happiest speeches of his life, which
was met with the wildest enthusiam. The
speech was a spontaneous outburst of elo
quence delivered in true Tennessee style.
He touched but slightly on the politics of
the day, and advised Southern Democrat*
not to become demoralized by any new or
ganizations, hut to rely implicitly on those
Northern Democrats who have Ix-cn our
friends to make the platform and nominate
the candidate and we will reserve our strength
as a rear line to move on tlie Radical phalanx
and win the victory.

states that the story i* a British yarn, and
that the Khedive has given no intimation of
any such purpose. The writer further says

The fine estate of Ashley Manse wgs without
reserve bequeathed to .Mildred, to lie held in
trust for her, except that Nora should by any
incident of fate remain unmarried, in which
case she was to share said property equally
with her sister The birthplace of Piiillip
Ashley, consisting of a hundred acres
land, whereon stood the same old house that
was preserved as a relic of those early yt
when he was only a poor farmer’s boy, this
alone was to be the marriage dower of N<
Ashley.
Nora was sitting alone, a few day* after
the burial, when a servant brought her a let
ter. Glancing at the superscription she
recognized the well-known hand of her be
trothed, and with a strange presentiment of
she knew not what, she broke the seal and
read:
"Miss AsnLEY: I will not intrude upon
the sacredncs9 of your bereavement to tell
you what had better lie said at once, without
the embarrassment of an interview that
would lie doubly painful at this time. T
father’s wishes in regard to our contemplated
marriage arc too evident to admit a doubt,
and I have no need to remind vou that the
prospective heiress of Ashley Manse and tlie
owner of Shruhhill Farm are not tne same;
and I know your pride too well to flatter 11
self that you would forfeit vourpresent p
tion to form an alliance which would subject
you to the possible sneers of the envious,
that you would enter a family who could
have reason to blush for your paltry ini
tance. I therefore anticipate the delicacy of
your feelings, ami release you from any obi
gations to one who proves his sincere regard
by advising ycu to remain the respected
!i» ircfcs of Ashley Manse. Yours with regret,
' Wayland Ambbr."
Nora perused this letter with mingled
emotions of astonishment and bitter scorn,
but not one shaddow of regret remained for
one who had revealed in those few words a
phase of character of which she did not
dream when she listened 10 the glowing
words with which he won her unsuspecting
heart; and with the closing sentence ended
all her love for Wayland Archer; ami with
the following appendago she returned the let
ter to its author:
“Sin: The message I have the honor to re
ceive from you has enlightened me on more
than one subject, for which timely informa
tion I ought to thank you. I confess that I
did not until now comprehend my poor
father’s motive in tlie conditions of his lie-
quests, but he doubtless foresaw the fate to
which I was so blindly hastening, and
thus saved his child from a soulless coxcomb
whose impudence fully equals his conceit
I consider that the greatest dishonor to the
owner of Shruhhill would be an alliance with
such ns you, and I shall ever bless the memory
of my departed parent for the act that has
won me my liberty ero the fettering chain
was forged.”
Four years had passed since tlie death of
Philip Ashlcv, and Nora stood upon tlie bal
cony of A«hfcy 3Ianse, just where th** slant
ing sunlight deepened the rich glow uponhci
olive cheek, and shimmered in and out the
dark wave? of her purple black hair. Near
her stood the form «>f Earle Goodwin, gazing
with all a lover’s fondness into the eye* he
once had thought he might never light with
love’s sweet eloquence for him, and his tones
thrilled her as none had ever thrilled her
heart before.
“I could not tell you this, Nora, when you
might have scorned my presumption as a
fortune hunter; and while I struggled on
with the hone of one day gaining the right
to win you. I lost you, as I thought, forever.
I cannot offer you wealth, dear Nora, hut a
growing fortune I have won. These I offer
with a heart that will cherish you with un
dying love.”
*"I have little else to give you, Earle, than
the heart that is already all your *ww.”
"I would not exchange it, darling, for all
else the world contains.”
When the June roses bloomed, Nora Ash
ley became a bride, and Shrubhill Farm her
marriage portion, proved to be tbe seat of an
extensive coal mine, with whose wealth the
estate of Ashley Manse had no comparison ;
and by its secret discovery Philip Ashley
saved his daughter from a hapless union, anil
rewarded Earle Goodwin's faithful love.
Wayland Archer married a reputed foreign
heiress that proved to be an adventuress who
had tied from justice; and he cursed the hour
that he forfeited his share of Nora’s Legacy.

A Bah Season for Fiuki.k Ladies.—The
season lias i<oeu an unhealthy one for fiekle
young ladies. Those who have read the pa
pers have probably noticed the fact that with
in a month at least five unstabledainsela have
been murdered or horribly mangled by loving
swains with who they have s«*cn proper to
trifle. The business of matrimony is now a
practical reality. It is now, “your hand or
your life,” and the lady who says "yea’to
the first offer ought to understand the ri:*k
she is running.—Sporting Time*.
Tim True Green Old Aok—I know
not, indeed, a more beautiful spectacle in the
world, than an old man who lias cone, with
honor, through all its storms and eonquot,
and retains, to the last, the freshness of feel
ing that adorned his youth. This is the trur
green old age; this makes a southern winter
of declining years, in which the sun liglit
warms, though the hearts have gone. Such
are ever welcome to the young—and sympa
thy unites, while wisdom guides. There is
this distinction bet warn respect and viucra-
tion; the latter has always in it something of
love.—Buhner I.ytton.
Tins Dat of Rest.—Never was a in> re
blessed institution than Sunday, the sacred
day of rest from labor. For the soul’* health
and the body’s health of the human race, on
at least one day in seven there should Ik* an
ever recurring intermission of daily toil.
Thus let a man attain to a period of three
score and ten, he has gained a holiday of ten
Tears duration, even if hi? lot has Inin lalmr
for the remaining three score years. Let
childhood be taught to use, and manhood dis
creetly use, this blessed breathing time, as a
day on which to rape the thoughts beyond
tlie world, not less than for purposes of in
nocent recreation.
Little Things.—Little words are the
sweetest to hear: little charities fly farther,
and *1av longest on the wing; little lakes are
the stillest, little hearts tlie fullest, and little
farms the best tilled. Little books arc the
most read, and little sons the heart love?.
And when Nature would make anything
especially rare an«l beautiful, she makes 11
little—little pearls, little diamonds, little
dews.
Agar’s is a model prayer; but then it i? a
little one, and the burden of the |ielition is

little, but the last dedication dis ourse was

is what remains of them all. Day is maile

a clerk in the oilier of a rich merchant. One
day a letter came recalling an order for
goods, which had been received the day 1k*-

Days In a Sunday School.
A missionary of the American Sunday-
School Union gives the following from an
address lie heard from an aged minister iu
Missouri:
“I was aliout fourteen when I heard of a
Sunday Sclmol at Bowling Green, Ken
tucky. A lady invited me to attend, and,
her manner was so kind. I went. She fur
nished me with a New Testament, the first
I hail ever seen, and bade me commit
to memory the first chapter of John's
Gospel. On reading the first verse I was
struck wiih awe. The n unc of God, and
the sublime sentiment, so impressed me that
my sinfui lips dared not pronounce them.
Y\ ith fear and trembling I committed the
chapter, liecause of my promise, and tlie next
Sunday went and recited it. But I left the
Testament and never returned. But, dear
fellow-parents, the said this with much emo
tion) although these were the only two days
l ev« r spent in the Sunday school L mre my
salvation to that S^g?day *cho il, and to Ihc
kind lady as the. means.”

school band has lieen pointing sinnera to
