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 dirt into it. ‘Ob.

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 der, and yon might trick he didn’t try every tight for two weeks to get a shot with his i itie at Ned. 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.

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.

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. _A_ DJESMOCKA.TIO F.AAI I LY XSTItrWSI’A.PJiIR.

We slept on a hotel bed the other night that must have had as much as thirty or tony teatners scattered around on a car load of sla's.

The scient fie expedition around the world may, perhaps, be able to tell when it returns why a man always takes off Ids boots first when undressing, while woman begins al her hair-pins. A father of three sons an t five daugh ters, was asked what family he had. The answer was: ‘I have tilted so s and they each have five sisters,’ ‘Mer er!’ replied ti c interrogator, ‘sick a family 1’ There’s a heap o’ about the ‘last rose of the smmer.’ Just examine one and you will fin * it full of ‘lies and worms, and smelling like a burnt boot. It is admitted on all sides that busi ness is muoh better now than it was this period last year, and yet there is less hustle seen on our principal street than was exhibited a year ago. Fashion is to blame for this. He was r:or exactly a victim of sun stroke ; but as lie had been kicked out of a basement in an emphatic and flat footed manner, he preferred to allude to ihe circumstances as a coup de sole heel.
