deao Ingoloir.
Off the coast of one fit the Orkney
Islands, amt right opposite the har
bor, stood a lonely rock, against
which on stormy nights, the boat.- id
returnin',' fishermen niton struck and
were los'. . .
Fifty years ago there lived on tins
idand a young girl- * a cottage with
Pet father; ait I * lfev liJveff each other
utv tenderly. One stormy night the
lather was away on the sea with Ins
lislicrniaij’s boil, and. though hi>
daughter watched lor him in much
Jour and trouble, lie did not com
home. Sad t . tell, in the morning
hi, dead bodv was found washed up
on the beach", His boat, as he sought
\he harbor, had at ruck against the
“Lonely Rock" mid gone down.
In her deep sorrow th s tiherman s
daughter did not think ot horsed
alone. She was scarcely mote th n
ft child, humble, poor and weak, bn.
she said in her heart, that wails she
lived, no more boats should be lost on
the ‘'Lonely Rock,’' if a light shininu
through Iter window would gu de
ilu’iTi safely into the harbor. And
so, after watching by the body of her
lather, according to the ens om .1
her people, until it was buried, she
laid down and slept through the day;
but when night fell; arose and lighted
u candle, placed it in the window ol
her cottage, so that it might be seen
by any (1 hefinan coming in from sea,
and guide him safely into the burbot
.She sat by the candle all night and
trimmed it, and spun; but when the
day dawned, she went to bed and
slept.
As many hanks as she had spun
before lor her daily bread, she spun
still one over, to buy her nightly can
dle; and fioin that time to this, for fifty
years, through youth,maturity and old
ago, she has turned night into day, and
in the snow storms of winter, through
driving midst, deceptive moonlight
and solemn darkness, that northern
harbor has never been without the
the light Ol her candle.
llow many lives she saved ov this
caudle, and how many m a'sshr won
by it to the starving families of the
boatmen, it is imp ssibh* to say.
How many dark nights the fishermen
depending on it, have gone lorth can
not now be told. There i stood reg
ular as a lighi-house, steadily as con
stant care coutd make it. Always
brighter when daylight waned, the
fishermen had to keen it constantly
in view and were safe; there was tint
one thing ‘o intercept i*, and that was
the Rock. However far they might
have gone out to sea, they hud only
to bear down for that lighted wind .w,
and they Were sure cf a safe entrance
lo the harbor.
But what do the boatmen and the
boatmen's wiv s think >f this? Do
they pat tlte poor woman ? No; they
are very poor; hut poor or rich, they
known better than that. Do they
thank her? No. Perhaps they Miink
that thanks of theirs would be inade
quate to express their gratitude;
perhaps long years have made the
lighted casement so familiar, that
they lo >k up on it as a matter of
course, and forget for the time the
patient watcher within.
“WHOA!”
Juke Willard and the Blind
Horse—A Laughable Story.
For twenty-three years old Jake W il
ls! and has cultivated the soil ot Baldwin
county, and drawn ihcrelrotu s support
for himself and w>&. He is childless.
Not long ago Jake left the liou“o in
search of a missing 'cow. II s route Ld
him through an old worn oat patch ot
clay land, of about, six acres in extent,
in the center ol wiiiuh was a well two ntv
five or thirty feet de-p, that had at some
time, piobabiv, furbished the inmates ot
ad lapidated house neat by with water.
In passing by this spot an ill win i fitted
Jake’s “the’’ from Ins head and mali
ciously wafted il to the edge “f the well,
and in it tumbled.
Now Jake bad al’vai s practiced tt e
virtue ot economy, ami lie nnmedia ely
set about recovering ti e 10-l h-.t. He
ran to the well ami finding it WHS dry ai
the bottom, be uncoiled the rope wirch
he had brought with him for the pur
pose ol captuipg tho cow, anti titter
seve al aiteinp's to alch the hat with a
noose.he concluded to save’.line b going
into the well himself. lo accomplish
tilts lie made ftt-t one end ol the rope
a stump hard by, ami wa- q.nck’y on
his way down the wed,
fi is a fact, of which Jake was no 'ess
oblivions than the reader Itcreo , fat
Ned Weds was in the delapidated bu Id ■
mo r atore-airl, arid that an old b ino lioise
wuii a bell on his neck who had been
iinied out. to riic, wak lazily gtaz ng in
a short dis a> cc ot In* web.
The devil himself or some other w ick
ed spirit put into Ned’s cranium to have
a litile fun, so lie quietly slipped up to
the old horse and unbuckeled the bell
strap, approaching with slow, men tired
“ling-a-ling” to the euge of the well.
’Darn' th it ml blind horse!’ said Jake,
‘he’s a enming bis way shure! and am i
got no mu c sense than to tall iu lierc.
Whoa, Bali.’
Bnt the cori inn and approach ol 'he
‘ling-a-hng’ said jus! as pi .in v as words
that 'Rail’ wouldn’t whoa. Besides
Jake was at the bo tom resting, before
trying to 'sitin’ it up the rope.
‘Great Jei usalem,’ said lie, ‘the o'd
cuss will b'* a top of me before 1 can say
Jack Robinson. Whoa 1 Dang you,
whoa.
Just then X and drew np 'o the edge of
the well an-.l with b-s foot kicked a liit to

‘Ob. Lind !’ xi laimcq Jake, falling
upon bis knees at tbc tioltom. ‘1 m

lo sleep —vv ti o-a, Ball—l pray [he
Lord my soul t*—w-*e<> , now. Oh,
Lord, lo ve mercy upon me.’
Ned could hokl in no longer, and fear
ful Jake might suffer trom his fright, be
revealed himself.
Probably Ned didn’t make tracks
with his heels from the Well, May be
Jake wasn’t up to the top m short or

Presentation to Senator Cordon
Shortly after the settlement of the
Smith Carolina election a number of
ladies of Columbia, S. C., decided to
present to Senator John B. Gordon,
of Georgia, a testimonial of their ap
preciation <d his endeavors in behalf
of the state. Alter consultation the
lad es decided upon procuring a mas
sive silver ves-el arranged for a bap
tismal font. The untimely death of
General Gordon’s infant (laughter de
feats, in a measure, the purpose of the
Cos umbia ladies, but the testimonial,
which has been completed, will b<- for
warded to the Senator at an early
day.
The front, which is the work of a
prominent jeweler of Charleston,S. C.
is wrought, of sodd sterling silver,
and stands irom base lo rim 12 inches
in height, and measures in diameter,
across the top ten inches. The in>e

is highly md beautifully ornamented
with engraved patterns showing the
bright silver beneath. The shape of

iful. From a solid square base rises
a column upon which the howl rest
gracefully. The exterior is satin fin
ished, ornamented on the shank with
delicately engraved tracery. On one
side of the bowl is deeply and beauti
fully engraved the coat of arms of
South Carolina, and on the opposd.
side the coat of arms of Georgia.
Around the riin are inscribed the

The Sensation of flavin* Snake
Crawl Down Your Throat.
cfinTi* appSti? (Kan.) Pentihel.] .
Mr. Bonjain n Tronholm, living in
Culvor township, on tho Saline, woke
out) night last week feeling something
in his mouth, and immediately that
soni' thing commenced crawling down
his throat, lie Lied (says Mr. i.)
to Caleb it in his tictn, but it too
far gone, and fie says he vv.i S'obliged
to swallow, lie is .-atistied that it
was a snake, but of course does not
know just what k ud—we snonld think
any hind would be bad enough.
We did not b arn the particu ars
in this respect, but judge that Mr.
T enholm slept but little more that
nigh . As soon as possible he started
for Saline, and consulted a physic an.
He was given something to stupefy
the reptile, am! all emetic that he
might vomit it. np. The stupcfactive
had the and sired effedt. but the emetic
seemed to craze the man. He re
turned home and tell no movement ol
the snake for a day of two, when the
thing commenced to move again. Mr.
T. th* u c usulied Dr. Grog' r, of -Sa
line, who ave him some Hpdioitp to
killed the reptile. Upon taking the
medicine —which was some days ago
the movement ecus t and 6t presi-n'
writing none has been fet. The med
icine to l e taken once in three days.
At fir.'t seme seem to think that
Mr. Trenholm tad simply dreamed
of tliia exp iience, but i-übs quctit
investigation —and, what was worse,
personal experience u the part ol
Mr. T. in tho way of feeling t- e move
ment ol tlie snake in his stomach —
proved that it is a sober and horrible
reality.
Tomb of Peter the Great-
On an island of the Neva are the
fortress ami Cathedral of St. Peter
and St. Paul. The spire which is ex
ceedingly si* nder, is gilded and sur
mounted with an angel and cross. It
is three hundred ami seventy-one feet
from the ground to the top ol the
cro.'S. Many readers will recall the
story of the miraculous ascent of this
spire by a Russian peasant in 1830,
who undertook the task to repair the
angel With nothing but a rope and
naii to assist him in the ascent. The
Uourch contains tho rema ns of several
of Russia’s soveigns in marble caskets,
among them IVL r die Great, Catha
rine the Great, Alexander L, and the
late emnCiOr Nicholas. The most dis
tinguished ruonarchslie in t lie corners,
apparently the poorest places, but
according to the Russian ideas, 'lie
posit on of honor. Not far troth the
above church is Peter the Great’s
cottage. Theic the famous boat —
made by himseli —is shown, together
with, the now tattered sail In the
1 .rger of the two rooms L the jeweled
image which Peter had with him in
die and eis.ve batile at Poltava, where
lie conquered the Swedes anil estab
lished his greatness. The little apart
ment* was bright with the light ol
many tapers, placed by those who
have faith m the efficacy of the shrine
to prosper their undertakings.
Vl’lio Introduced Slavery.
Even as late as 1890, when the first,
census was taken, slaves were held by
every St de in the union except one—
Massachusetts —in which they failed
to pay, and had been disposed of to
other districts. During the next ten
years slaves disappeared from only
one state —Vermont.. Bur ng the de
cade following that, New Hampshire
aud Ohio were added to the tree com
monweal hs.
In the beginning, the anti-slavery
feeling was stronger in the southern
than in the northern communities,
and the ordinance of 1787 was sup
ported warmly by southern represen
tatives. Northern states kept up the
African direct slave trade after some
of the southern states had by law,
prohibited participation in it. Rhode
Island had slaves as late as 1840,
and so did Connecticut.
What would have been the (fleet
had an agitation for the abolition of
slavery at the foundation of th r repub
lic become as general and a3 excited
as it did in 1860, it is vain now to
guess.
Emigration Southward.
From the Now York Mercury.]
Northern emigrants arc pouring
into upper Gorga, and Southwestern
Kentucky is visited by the Texas
fever. Indianbms are going to Mis
sissippi, and Illinois'ns are dropping
down into tHat S ate and Alabama.
“Go West!” seems to be no longer
the fashion. These emigrants will
not know themselves in a few years
hence. The outer man soon becomes
strangely tropicalized. Thin gar
menls and open collars ami a pal
metto fan change the exterior ap
pearance of the emigrant, and as lor
the inner man, wliis ev and p< lines
satisfy Ids cravings. lie will sit all
day at a cfoss-road coffee-house im
bibing the one and talking the other,
as happy and as indolent as a first
class alligator on a log in August.
