THE ORPHANS. “Marian, dear, how ia the morning: fair or cloudy t” inquired Ethel Ray, turning on the invalid couch, where she lay during the day as well as at night. “Dark and cloudy," sho replied, tho cold dreariness of tlia new day striking a ohill to her sensitire, hearily-burdened heart. A tired, hopeless look swept over her delicate, noble face, leaving a slight droop at the corners of her mouth, a shadow in her eyes. Ethel saw the ex pression, and for a moment her own grow less cheerful and bright “Never mind; there will be a rift in the clouds by and by,” she said with re newed hope. “lam glad you Lave such faith, pet,” said Marian, 6tiil looking out on the street. A poor Lcggar crept feebly along, his rags fluttering in the bitter wind; and in pity for a lot "adder than her own, tho girl lost some of her discontent. She turned from the window with a brighter expression, and put on her hat and cloak to start out ou that weary round of mu sic lesions, which wore their support. “ I am sorry to leave you, Ethel ; and it will be late before I can get through.” “Do not fret about me, Marian, Mrs. O’Malley will come in and give me my lunch, and a fresh glass of wa’er, and I have this beautiful lace to mend for Miss Constantine, and that magazine you brought mo yesterday to read. Oh, I shall be fully occupied until your re turn.” Well, well, it is comforting to have so l.rave and busy a little sister at home. I think of it often when I am out, and it gives me courage,” said Marian, bending over the couch with tender, misty eyes. The crippled girl clasped the slender baud caressing her hair, and drew it down against her cheek. “Am Ia help to you, Marian? Oh, that thought makes me happy 1 I lie here such a helpless, useless creature; some times I have feared that I wa9 only a burden to you.” “Never think of that again, dear one —never. If it were not for you ” She broke oil, and stooping kissed the sweet, pale face resting on the pillow; but when she would have moved away, Ethel held her a moment longer. “Marian, darling, do not lose your faith nnd hope. There will be clear sun shine after a while, and all these dark clouds will vanish.” “I will try to think so,” she replied, with a tmilc—a smile that vanished the moment she left her sister’s preseuce, and memory began to bring up one by one the events of the two years just passed. The girls had been left orphans at an early age, but with property sufficient to supply all they could ever need, not only of necessities, but even luxuries. Their guardian controlled and managed the mouey, and they lived in his house, under the care of bis good-hearted maiden sister. E'hol had always been lame and delicate, but Marian went out into the world, seeing and enjoying its beauties and pleasures. Walking swiftly along to give her first music lesson, she drew a sharp breath of anguish, us memory too faithfully recalled all the glory and happiness of a tour in Italy with a party of friends, just before the downfall of fortune. At the very outset they met Mark Tuner, handsome, intelligent, and, to the young girl, a very king among men. He joined the party, and singled her out as the object of his attentions. The routes they travelled he ..ad been over before, and be could point out all that was beautiful and interesting. It was a golden season, and, the girl’s noart surrendered in spite of womanly pride and reluctance. But she bad no cause to feel shame, or to believe her love unsought for. One ini'll jw, moonlit night, in an old Neapolitan g .rden, he stretched out his hand to her With sudden, pas-donute words of love ; and so eloquently did he plead fur the sweet gift of her future life that she could not withhold the promise to be bis wife, •'You shull mver ig-et it! You •bitU be happy!” he cried with a lover's coutideiMM, ”1 etu happy now!” she whispered, flushed end shy, Iml radiant. They wandered along uiiioug the flow •it, foiling that heaven ley shout them; l<Ut lie; mat Henning tle> girl i waived had news from Itotu), M'te only mads out chariy that her pi < < re .< wet needed, and with only true regret!ul sigh fur tits bright dreamt die had iWtl >4 sits agso 1 1psisUvits te return t a fc >g u 4. Turner earnestly begged to be allowed to accompany her, but she gently re fused. “I shall come in a few weeks, whether you send for ms or not. We must finish this interrupted tour together, Marian,” he suggested. She returned home to find their guar dian dead, and their fortune gone swept away in some ill-advised specula tion. The maiden lady sought a home with relatives, and Marian Ray found herself among the world’s workers, and with a helpless invalid to take care of. Helpless, did we ray? Nay, she was the only hope and comfort of poor Mari au’s heart; for her handsome, wealthy lover came not, and the letter she wrote to him explaining their reverses of for ms* remained u >answered. She tried hr think of him with contempt; to hold site love that failed in the hour of her bitterest need as valueless; but she only succeeded m tormenting her own faithful loving heart, which, in spite of pride and reason, clung to that short, sweet ro manco with a hold death alone could break. All. day she walked from house to house, through the bitter cold, while the foga hung dull and heavy over the metropolis. It was dark when she reached home, and hurrying eagerly up-stairs, she pushed open tb- door, anxious to bs with her sister so a poisible. They were careful wiiu.-cl, with everything; nec>.'ss ty forced them to study economy, and Marian expected to find the room ia darkness, only a scanty handful of coal in the grate. She entered to find a glow ing fire, and the table set with daiutiess, while tho little tea-kettle steamed merri ly on the hob. “Ethel!” she cried, hastily throwing off her hat and cloak, and turning towards her sister’s bed: “Oh, Marian, sister!” cried the invalid, in a voice tremll ng with strange emo tion. Then Murian felt her heart leap in a suffocating throbof pain and rapture, for out of the semi-darkness of the corner Mark Turner advanced, with outstretch- | ed hands to meet her. “Marian, have you no welcome for me?” A chilling remembrance of all his silence and neglect swept over her, and pride rose in arms. ' Certainly, I—l welcome you, Mr. Turner,” she said, stiffly, stepping back a little. “Whatt have you forgotten?” he cried, in keenest disappointment. “No, sir; it is because I remember, that I can give you no friendlier greet ing. I wonder that you can expnet it, after such long neglect and coldness. I can not pass over such slights." “But Marian, he did not get your let ter; and ho could not come when ho in tended, for a hurt received among tho Alps kept him a prisoner for several weeks, and then ho had to search and search, and has just found us,” said Ethel, half raising herself up, tho crimson fire light giving even her pale face a roseate tint. Marian’s face changed, and her eyes mutely questioned her lover’s. “It is all true. Could you believo I loved you so lightly 1” he murmured. Aud this time sho did not shrink back when he approached, but gave him the welcome he craved. Ethel fell softly back among her pil lows, her delicate hands clasped, her eyes radiant.

The frequency with which people who partake -of picnic ice cream find them selves poisoned suggests the theory that adulteration is being carried to a more dangerous extreme than ever before. As most of these troubles occur in the coun try where the principal materials of which ice cream is compounded are naturally pure it might be worth while to subject the flavorings used in the cream to a critical analysis. These are put up in cities as a rule, and it would aot be sur prising it they were found to be the cause cf the illnesses which are reported with such frequency. It is a well known fact that it is chem ically possible to make almost any fruit flavor out of acids of various kinds, and it may be that some unprincipled manu facturer has put on the market flavorings made by similar processes. Adultera tions Lave become so common that no effort should bo spared to discover the real cause of the numerous wholesale poisonings which occur wherever food is carelessly prepared for large uumbers of people.

GEORGIA HOME JOURNAL: GHEENESBORO. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15. ISSU.—EIGHT PAGES. WITH THE ALABAMA. n. New Story of the Confed erate Cruiser. One of Her Grew Tells How Bhs Once Lost a Rich Yankee Prizs. “Master’s Mate” tells the following story of his vessel, the Confederate cruiser Alabama, in the Detroit Free Fret*: — In 1363, as the Confedciate cruiser left B >hia for Cape Town to prey upon Federal commerce wherever found, she captured the Justina cnly a few miles east of the part mentioned. Then she headed to tho south and picked up the Jabez Snow, the Amazonian, the Talisman and the Conrad in succession on that course. When below Rio Janeiro and ready to shape her course to the east, she picked up the Anna Schmidt, and four days later, the Ex press. From that point we made the long voyage to the Cape without secur ing another victim, though we sighted several which escaped us. My story has to do with one of the latter incidents. One afternoon, as we wereholding our course under sail, with the fires banked and steam down, a sail was sighted to the north. After a time she was made out to be a large ship, and was holding her course for the Cape. For a long time some of the officers held that she was English, and as we were both gradu ally nearing each other, the engineer re ceived no orders to get up steam. There was a good sea on, and the promise of a nasty night, when, an hour before sun down, the two crafts, running tho legs of a triangle, as it were, approached each other within about two miles. Then we hoisted tho United States flag, although by this time it was well known that she was American. After a few minutes the bill was run up to her masthead and broke away to unfurl the old stars and stripes. We had made ourselves believe that we hated the old flag, but when wo saw it given to tho breeze above the swelling sails of a noble clipper out there on the broad Atlantic, we men fe’.t like cheering. Down came the flag of deceit from our mast-head, aud up went tho flag of the Southern Confederacy in its place. It must have been a great surprise to the Yankee, and upon my word I felt sorry at the thought of such a noble craft be ing given over to the flames. The wind wa3 from the northwest, and breezing up stronger all the time. We cast loose a gun and fired a shot across tho clipper's course, and according to the usual erder of things she should have heaved to and submitted to the inevitable. We all looked for such action, especially ns we were now not over a mile apart and she well under our guns. There was some thing like a flutter of excitement aboard of her for a moment, and then her nose pointed up to tho north, her men swarmed aloft, nnd in five minutes sho was a pyramid of c in vat and walking off like a race horse. During this interval wo had been beat ing to quiriori and catting loose the gun3,and as it was seen that she meant to run away from us we opened on her with everything that would beau. She was now almost stern-ou to us, and in a raking position, but wo sooa found that the heavy sea running materially inter fered with our gunnery. She had no doubt calculated on this, and though soni3 of our shots gave her a close shave, she gave her whole attention to getting away. We soon saw that she could out sail us, and orders were given to get up steam. Wo kept pegging away at her in hopes to cripple her aloft, but before we had accomplished anything darkness came down. We sent men aloft with glasses to keep her m sight, and reserved our ammunition until wo should get to close quarters. We clapped on all the canvas we could carry, and aficr a time had steam to help us along, but before the propellei had made a revolution the men aloft had reported that tho clipper was out of sight. Our only recourse was to follow to the northeast in hapes of picking her up when daylight came, but when day broke after a long and weary night the ocean was clear of sail. The day wo reached Cape Town wo saw our fugitive safely anchored in the harbor. Two or three days later, when I was on shore leave, 1 ran across some of her crew, and was told by them that as soon as she was beyond our sight she turned on her heel and ran to the south, thus crossing our bows and making every ynrd we run take us farther away from her. At midnight she bore to the East again, and was ia Cape Town four days ahead of ur. B g Hailstones. After tho hailstorm of tho other even ing a seventy-niner met Amos Steck at the St. James. “Biggest hailstones I ever saw,” said the friend. “Oh, non sense," said the bluff Amos; “if you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have known wo hud any hail. Just a little frozen rain—that’s all." “You have aeon larger hailstones?” asked the seventy-niner. “Look here I in 'SB, right here in Denver, over there at that old home of mine—it woa in the country then—l have seen the hail so thick that the ground was not vUib.e in any direc tion, ‘and as for size, 1 used two of tha bail.tonet for a weight on my front gate for over two wa- ks alter tit# atonal"—- ll ittr A'swi.

Tho following is from a Long Branch letter to the New York Herald : The American coachman, whatever the place of his nativity, is the best paid man of his class in the worid. His wages range from $25 to SB3 per month and “found.” The average is probably about S4O. The meaning of the word “found” in the contract depends largely upon the liber ality of the employer. Often it extends to the entire length of his good nature as well. For example, one cass was dis covered that caused surprise. This man occupied a large corner room, furnished with a comfortable spring bed, a piano and several easy chairs. His half dozen pairs of boots and shoes were placed out side the door at night to be blackened, and a barber came to his room every morning to shave his face. He only “overlooked” the grooming of the six horses in his care. The work was done by menials in the stables, whom he paid out of his allowance. He affected hot sea-water baths, and had his clothing sent in a hamper once a week to a New York laundry—“just like the family." When a party of the proper kind could be mado up be had his little rubber at whist or trifled with “that blarsted American game of poker.” Now that he could not form a combination with tho butler at the mansion in town to sample his master’s wines and liquors, he drank rather cheaper claret—but less of it. The moment ho returned from a drive he changed his clothes and laid aside the implements of his occupation. When he knew the horses were cared for he lit a cigar and strolled down to see Mr. Drexel’s, Mr. Seligman’s, Mr. Curtis’ or Mr. Kennedy’s men. In nearly every case was telephonic communication with these friends possible, and he always availed himself of the latest advances of science. Another idea of hiswasnevr to place himself beyond reach by the same means. Therefore he confined his intercourse to such friends as had tele phones in their stables. Big Ear. Much of Eiy observation is, of course, as yet tentative and uncertain. But of tho contour I may freely say that I am convinced by every one of many keen observations that the man whose upper car projects and bends forward is invari ably one who is either very tractable, or desirous of learning, or very diligent. Such would be the qualities indicated from his habit of attending or giving at tention to what passes around him. He is quick to learn, easy to train, provided his hand is delicate and facile enough to do what is required of him ou occa sion. Ou tho other hand, the man whose car buttons back to his head— is close to the skull in its tip and posterior margin, evinccsopposite qualities. lie is intract able, inattentive, heedless; he is accut tomed to hear, it is true, but not to miud what he hears; to allow people’s cruel, witty, w se, aud trenchant sayings to go by unobserved. Nevertheless, such a man may be handled, by reason of his being unobservant. A good many ex cellent public servants have such ears, and must habitually be unobservant of many things, since so many uncomfort able affairs encompass and engage them that they would become quite miserable were they to heed them all. The pointed car is the ear of the tur bulent, intractable man; who breaks out occasionally in an original vein, and who has his days and hours of uneasiness. The ear bounded in its superior margin by a curved line, is that of the quiet, easy, amiable man.— Phrenological Jour nal. ' He Settled tho Busiucss Thoroughly. McCoy, when he came to Scott coun ty, went to work for a farmer named Hitt, who had a very charming daugh ter Emma. A young man whom Farmer Hitt had repeatedly driven from the place continued to come around, paying his addresses to the daughter, until finally the farmer, despairing of keeping him away by any milder means, hired McCoy to thrash him every time he came near. Once or twice, or may be more, the young man came, saw the girl, took his thrashing, and departed. But one day there came tho end of this sort of thing. McCoy, returning from town, where he had gone as driver and escort for the daughter, approached the father, saying: “Well, Mr. Hitt, I’ve settled this bus';, ness of that young fellow’s coming around hero to see Em.” “What do you mean?” asked tho farmer. “I mean that he won’t come any more, an’ you can bet on it.” “Why, Mac, you haven’t killed him, have you?” asked tho farmer, fearfully. “No. Better than that.” “What then?" “I’ve married Em." The old farmer flew iuto a dread'ul rage, but McCoy had the girl, and there was no getting her away from him, so Farmer llitt, like a sensible man, mado the most of it and gave his sou-in-law a piece of land, which he is now tilling, while “Em” minds the bullies like a duti ful wife, —Chicago Newt.
