I of a bargain.”
I
“I didn t want to get a bargain.
( I wanted to get a good melon, and
pay a fair prica for it.”
- “I paid only 15 cents apiece for
t mine, and they arc as good as
yours. Don t you behove in get
ting your marketting, and other
things, for that matter, as cheap
as you can? ’
“Not a]wavs.”
“Ou,” said Mrs. Preston, with a
virtuous look, “I find myself
obliged to practice economy in my
expenditure.”
‘And I, certainly, much more,”
said Mrs. Hyde, laughing, -‘but
I haven't the heait to practice it
at the expense of any one else.
Now, when I think of all that
that poor man has done f r that
melon, the preparing the ground,
and planting the seed, the constant
care of it till, this morning, he
brought it four miles and
ed it before me in its beautiful per
section, I don't wonder he thought
it worth twenty ve cents. I think
it is. 11 1 had stood there ami
cheapened his stuff and beaten him
down, I dare say I might, through
his fear of not selling all he had
while they were fresh, ha ,r c got it
for less. '
This was so exactly what Mrs.
Preston had done in buying her
mel ms, that her color io.su slight
ly as she said, “Tint all sounds
very well, but 1 icallv cannot as
ford to buy luxuries, unless I can
get a bargain.”
Mrs' Hyde felt, otrangiy tempted
to reply, “When I cannot afford to
pay an honest price, 1 would rath
er ectaiomize by doing without.”
Bui die was a puacofi.l woman and
held her tongue.
Mr. and Mrs. Preston had
'hrougb much struggle ami self
denial, arisen from poverty to a
condition 01 apparent alllueiice.
Both professing Christian-, and in
the main conscientious ones, they
still had, through long habits of
shrewd calculating and close econ
omy, so accustomed themselves to
look on one side only of business
trail-actions betwee 1 the nsclves
and their fellowmen, that they had
almost forgotten there could be
any other. Both rejoiced in what
they consideied a good bargain,
deeming it, whether accomplished
by haggling, or by taking advan
tage of the necessities of a needy
brother or sister, a perfectly justi
fiable mode of saving what they
had acquired by the same means
“I’ve brought you a go id bun
dle of work to-day, Mrs. Blake,”
said Mrs. Pre-ton, entering the
house of a pale-faced needle wo
man. “That is, in case you want
it, for if you don’t th* re ire plenty
who do, yon know!"
“Lmleed, I do want it, M»s. Pres
ton, for we have had so much sick
ness lately, there's ;i hard pud a
hcad of me to make up things.”
“Yes, I supposed yai'-l be glad
to get in. Now here are six of
■ ! these atidia dozen of these. 1
thought 1 should pay about twenty
’ five cents a piece for them.”
“With all that tucking. Mrs.
i Pres.on?" said the widow, looking
i over the work with an expression of
' I discourage 1 helplessness, which
! might have moved the heart of
i her task mistress.
I “Yes, I can get all I want and
i more, done for that.” She knew
that the Glenn girls would he glad
to do it for pocket money, or voting
Mrs. Rand, who had plenty of
time after her own work.
“P> it," ventured Mrs. Blake, “it
will hardly keep my children from
! starving, Mrs. Preston. It is worth
' I
, j more to do it."
“Oh, well, iirs. Blake, these
things, you know, are governed by
i the law of supply and demand.”
She had time and again heard the
; i expression from her husoand, and
f j both found it a most convenient
! one. “You are not obliged to do
. 1 the work.”
“Yes I am obliged to do it,”
' said ’he other, shaking her head,
sadly as she took the I.umlle of
sowing, and Mrs. Preston went a
w.xy, never stepping to think
. whether or no she was grin ling
j the faces of the Lord’s poor.
“I am having an annoying bit
<1 trouble with John Blount,” said
1 Mr. Preston to his wife.

“What is it?” she asked.
‘M hy, I (n)pj O y e( j | t j m j o
toe masonry and plastering in
those new tenements, ami he’s
made a very bad job of it.”
“1 always thought he was an hon
est fellow.”
“So did I, and that is why I
bin d him; but I am tired of him
m>w. lie tried to make quite a
fuss at the first, over the terms I
offered—said they were too low,
ami all that.”
How grasping these laboring
people are!”
“Yes, I represented to him that
there is so much competition in
these matters, that I could not
think of paying more, and gave
him the preference over others, as
rv favor, he being one of our chm eh
members; but he has behaved very
ugly in the mater. He made such
poor work of it that I refused to
pay the full amount of his bill, and
now lie has sued me for it. But I
think 1 have the upper hand.”
Mrs. Preston exclaimed indig
nantly. I hey were passing a
small house a’ the time, and she
caught a momentary sight of a hag
gard face at the window, glancing
up from bending over a sewing
machine. It was Mrs. Blake’s
house, and she felt, sure the face
was Airs. Blake’s.
I ;*e eyes looked so wild that she
strove to forget them for three or
four day;, but then went to see
her. Ine door was opened by a
stolid looking woman whom she'
had not seen before.
• alis Blake? '1 is. you kin see
her. She sin h’yer. Shu open
ed tne door of the other room, and
turned down the cover from a;
white face. “Looks awful thin |
don’t sht ?"
“Dead? ’ Mrs. Preston sank in
to a chair, as her limbs seemed
suddenly to loo<-e their strength.
“\ es’m, she’s dead."
“When—how long has she been I
sick?;
“Not lung. Futnl led off her
cheer one night when she was a
suwin’. Children found her in the
moinin, n the neighbors heard’m
cryiii,' an’ give'em some breakfast.
She never come to. Just lay still
’till she died.’
“Was there a doctor?" faltered
Mrs. Piestun.
“Y es’m, but ’twan’t no use, he
could’t do nothin.’ Said the life
was clean worked out ami starved
out of her.”
“Airs. Preston sat there with
one new thought after another
crowding upon her with stunning
severity. She looked coldly upon
the pitiful pleading of those poor
eyes. Now, closed, how much
more strongly they appealed to her I
con-cience! The eloquence of I
those dumb lips stirred as, living, '
they could never have done.
What would she have not given to
;be able to whisper one word of
kindness in the .inlistening ear! and
the old hitter cry of lost opportu
nity went up from the depths of a
thoroughly awakened soul, “Oh,
that 1 had nourished that poor
worn body, and comforted that over
burdened heart, while yet there
was time!”
But they had passed forever be
yond her reach.
The stolid woman lifted and ten
derly stroked one of the toil worn
hands, saying with a choke in her
voice, “wonder if—don't ye believe,
ma'am, it seems good t 3 he’’ to be
a-restin'. Think she knows she’s
a rcstin,' n a’m?”
“Yes—Yes.” And with alias;
ty, “I'll come again," .Mrs. Pres i
ton went out of the house. With I
every step toward her home the!
burden of accountability seemed to i
grow and increase in its* heavy i
weight upon her. Entering her!
room she opened to a page which
had been read at prayer that morn
ing.
“Ye shall not afflict any widow
or fatherless child.
If thou afflict them in any wise,
and they cry at all to Ale, I will
surely hear them cry.
And my wrath shall wax hot,
and 1 will kill you with the sword,
and your wives shall be widow.-, I
and your childien fatherless.”
She closed the Look with a crush-,
ing conviction that the God who |
uttered the awful denunciation i
still reigns, with ear open to the
cry of the widow and fatherless.
The plaintiff in the case of
Blount vs. Preston, tried that day
in the crcuit court, wore a haun
ted find hopele-s look, which anv
one who took the trouble to ob
serve might have likened to that
of a hungry, friendless dog, who,
accustomed G receive little besides
kicks, expected little else.
The defend ant's expression was
one <>f complacent self-c mfidence, !
which wa- justified by the result of
the trial, although the expression
failed, somewhat, as a fiu-h rose to
his cheek in the course of sharp
examination, in which the plaintiff
gave his answers with a reckh ss-,
I ness which was, to say the lea-t,
I unpleasant.
“Then the jury is to understand i
that you took my client's job, well
■ knowing that you were not going
Ito perform vour contract faith
fully?”
! “Yes, 1 did."
“Now, gentlemen of the jury,
having a full understanding of the
intentions of this honest man, will
you listen while he tells us his
mode of cheating his employers-
“I'm not an honest man,” broke
out Blount fiercely. “I used to
think myself honest, but a poor
man can't be honest—he is driven ;
to crime—yes, driven, I say! I
told Air. Preston I couldn't do the ■
work for the price.”
“Then, why did you undertake
it?”
“Because 1 had to look after
my family. Could I let 'em starve?
I cold Air. Preston his price would
not leave me twenty-five cents a
day for my work, but he said there
was plenty to do it. 1 knew how
they'd do it, and I did it their
way.
“Now we're coming to the point i
how did you do it?”
“fused poor material; too little
plastering and too little hair in it.
and had it put on by poor hands ,
that I could get at a poor price. 1
But I put in the worth of all Air.
Preston was willing to pay.’
•Mr. Preston did not feel like a
triumphant man, or as if he had
appeared to any advantage, as he ‘
walked out of the court house as- 1
ter hearing a verdict which went
very heavily against poor Blount.
Something in the poor man's face :
brought into his memory some
long ago nearly forgotten words.
Through all his business concerns
during th3 remainder ’of the day
they obstinately persisted ii. obtru
ding themselves upon him. They i
rang themselves in between him
and his customers as he talked, i
and secmt d almost to write them- i
selves over against whate-er he i
might look at.
“Mary,” said ho to his wife,
whet alone with her in the eve
ning, “where are these words found,
■lie that o|»pies.-eth the poor to in
crease his riches shall surely come
to want.”
To his surprise, she threw up
her hands and burst into a parox- i
ism of bitter weeping.
She told him her sad story, and
he told her the conclusion of his ;
affair with John Blount.
“I'm going to make it all right
with John,” he concluded. “We j
have made mistakes, Alary, some |
very bad mistake;, but we'll do all
we can to undo them. We’ll look
well after Airs. Blake's children,
too, so don't fret any more.”
“Y ou can set your mistake
right.'’ she said, but, ah, me! there
will always be a sore spot on my
heart where ‘too late' will be wiit
ten!" Sidney Dayre.
Being On Time.
The habit of being or. time,
never a minute behindhand, is one
of the greatest helps to success in
life. While, on the other hand,’to
get into the wav of delaying, keep
ing others waiting, not being j
prompt, punctual, ready, is the se- i
cret. cause of failure in the thou
sand cases, many of which I have
seen in the course of my life. We
notice it in children. What you
are in the morning you will be at
noon, and probably at night.—
“The child is father to the man.”

for worship and breakfast; one
child is late. She is usually late, the
same one. She was behindhand
in getting herself readv; the rest '
waited for her a few moments and
then went on without her, and pres
ently she came, disturbing ail and
making herself disagreeable and ,
then uncomfortable. Ine boy with
such a disposition is late at school,
not prepared with his lessons, al- '
ways just a little behindhand in
evcrytfnug. Perhaps Im goes to
college or into business, trad?, or a
profession, and if lie be dependent
on his own exertions, he makes a J
failure in everything.
Forty years ago I knew two i
smart boys, helpers in a grocery !
store. They were brotln rs. They i

so quick, prompt and decisive were !
they in filling every order. They
were poo • hoys, apprenti<-es then.
But they worked as if the concern '
was theirfown, ami snccees di pen

faithfulness. Now th >y live mi
one of the fashionable avenues of
New Y ork, in their own mansions, ;
retireil from their grocery busi
ness,in which they made their for-:
tunes. Holding important trusts,
they are useful and respected citi
zens and Christians. They owe
their success, solely, under God,
to their own promptness in per
forming every promise, in being
always ahead rather than behind, i
And there are mechanics and i
trades'nen with whom I once had i
dealings and now have deserted,
( because they never would fill an
1 order in season, would not send a
thing home to me when they prom
ised, and invariably kept me wait
ing; whatever might be my distress
to be served. This vice runs in
the blood sometimes, and whole
families a'-e distinguished by taking
it’easy, “Time enough yet," being
their motto and rule They drop
■ behind in the race of life. They
would be run over if some one did
not pick them up and help them on.
Half the world has their work to
do besides doing its own. Jn Bic
absence of positive crimo, this
habit of taking it easy causes the
poverty and failure of the human
family; with the same chances, with
equal health and v.its, in the same
field, one man succeeds and anoth
er makes a dead failure. And
why? Because ono took time by
the forelock, was ever prompt, and
therefore prosperous. The other
1 was always a little behindhand,
‘ and by and by so far behind as to
be considered of no account.—
When I see people dilly -dallying,
wasting precious time in doing noth
ing, I long to tell them to hurry up
for life, soul, salvation, may be lost
if they are only a little behindhand.

The Great Victory.
YVe congratulate the Republic on
the election of Grover Cleveland as
its President.
ihe Democracy is agai 1 in the
ascendency in the nation. After
twenty four years of exclusion
from power the party of Jefferson
and Jackson once more places aj
firm grasp on the ruins of govern-i
ment, with the determination, by 1
God’s help, to guide the Republic
back into the straight path of
Democratic simplicity, economy
and honesty, and to re-establish
firmly and permanently the consti
tntional rights which have gradual
ly stolen from the States and the
people.
1 his is indeed a result to cause
I exultation in the heajis of those
f :, !iful disciples of Democracy
who have adhered to the living
principles of the party through
nearly a quarter of a century not
of defeat alone, but of denuncia
tion and detraction that are worse
than defeat; who have heard them
selves falsely accused of treason in
the hour of the nation’s peril, when
their political brethren were shed
ding their blood for the Union on
the field of battle; who have been
reviled and slandered in every
Presidential campaign since the
war; who ’nave submitted to see
the fruits of a victory snatched
from them by flagrant frauds and
crimes rather than again imperil
the peace of the Union.
But proud and exultant as the
! nation must feel in this the hour of
their vindication, every patriotic
1 citizen must recognize in the voice
of the people something above and
beyond a political verdict. The
safety of the Republic was threat
ened. A powerful pai ty entren
ched in the fortifications of Federal
patronage, supplied witn almost un
i limited means of bribery and cor
ruption from the coffers of monop
, dies and favored corporations, able
and experienced in the machineiy
■of elections, unscrupulous in the
methods by which they accomplish
their ends, seemed determined to
' subvert the government.
The danger of the Republic has
been averted and the party of cor
ruption has been driven out by the
honest, imbought vole of the Am
erican people.
Has this victory been won by
I democrats?
No. An honest party Las had
I the support of honest men of all
I parties'
Ail honor to the upright repub
licans, to the Independants, to the
citizens who stand aloof from all
political organizations, for the val
uable aid they have given towards
this glorious victory.
Yesterday's triumph, is we re
peat, the triumph of the nation.
As such even our opponents ought
to regard it, and if they have lost
their hope of political advantages
they should rejoice as Amer : cans
that the Republic is the gainer by
th ir disappointment.
They can afford to do so, fur the
change means earnest, honest re
form. We conll not 1 ave battled
as we have battlehave triumphed
as we have triumphed, for political
revolution, alone. The victory has
been won for more than the resto
ration of the demociacy to power..
I It has been won for the rotoiation
of national honcr, for the re.estab
i lishmeu of official honesty and res-
, ' pousibility. for thorough, searching
i ‘ substantial reform in the National
R Administration. This great fact
must be emphasized by the atcs of
the new Administration, and while
we claim to have contributed not a
s little to the democratic party’s sue*
i cess, we shall do battle just as stout
} ly for the genuine, practical ad
s ministrative ref v rm and puritica
’ tion which that success was meant
a to insure.
1 If the lesson of the people’s ver
r diet is read aright, factional mis
] representation should now cease,
and all parties should unite to
strengthen the hands of an honest,
* fearless, upright National Adminls
> tration.
The Colored. Race at the World’s
Exposition.
One of the most interesting f *a—
tares of the World’s Industrial
Exposition at New Orleans this
fall will be the department devoted
to an exposition of the work and
progress of the colored race. The
identification of the colored race
with the material progress and the
developement of the great natural
resources of the South, and the in
fluences of so large a portion of
her population upon her prosperity
! renders this demonstration of her
, educational ami industrial progress
and advancement eminently appro
priate. The Board of Management
appreciating the fitness and pro
priety of such a feature, and to af
ford every incentive for the fullest
ami most thorough exposition, hat
assigned the sum of sso,<>oo to as
sist those engaged in the work of i
! preparation. The colored people
have entered into tiic work with
. great enthusiasm and tiie promises
j are bright for a most interesting
I ami magnificent display.
This unique exhibition, for its
novelty, will possess a peculiar in
tertst, especially to European ami
Northern vision-. There arc many
quaint and ingenious specimens of
handiwork for which the colored
race are noted. Some of them are
very expert mechanics. Their
shuck horse-collars, baskets and
split bottom chairs, rolls of Perique
tobacco, gourd banjos, etc., will
constitute the native curiosities of
the country. Councilman Napier,
of this city, is the committee for
this department from Tennessee,
co operating with Senator Bruce
director of the general exhibits of
the colored num’s industries, and
he is making a very energetic can
vass of the State for contributions
from the colored Tenesseans. We
urge the colored people of our sec
tion to interest themselves in this
work. Their progress and devel
opment in skilled labor is of vastly
more interest to them than politics,
and wc venture to predict that no
exhibition will prove more attract
ive than that to be found in the
colored department. Nashville

TWO MORE IMPORTANT CASES.
\ our agent being in Columbus,
Ga., a few days ago, and meet
ing the venerable brother J 11
Campbell, we asked him for the
news, iiis answer was ‘‘l have
two more important cures effected
by Swift’s Specific to report.”
This venerable man is known far
and wide for his unremitting la
bors of love in the, behalf of the
! poor of Columbus. It will be re
! membered that the Swift Specific
| Co. lias donated quite an amount
of their famous medicine, to be
distributed by Mr Campbell among
| the poor of the city ; hence his re
mark. He said:
“I have just seen a ladv who has
been greatly annoyed by a Tetter
in one of her hands. It had given
her much trouble and pain. She
i said she had been treated by sever
al physicians during the past three
i or four years with the old remedies
but without giving any relief. I
suggested Swift’s Specific and she
took four bottles, ami is now appa
rently perfectly well. Her hand
is smooth and not a single sign of
tne disease left. It is marvelous
how this medicine renovates the
system.”
“What about the other case
“Well, that was a lady also.
She had been effected with eczema
for four years. Her face, bands
and arms, as well as her body, was
covered over with sores and scabs.
It was one of the worst cases of
tnis terrible disease that I have
ever seen. The suffering of the \
poor creature was beyond expres
sion. She tried every remedy at ■
command, including mercury and |
iodide of potash, but she only grew I
worse. She was in this condition
when I rir>i saw the case. I soon
had her taking Swift’s Specific, and
she has now only taken two bottles,
but every mark of the disease has
I' -dmo-t entirely disappeared. Her
1 strength and general health In ve
t i greatly improved. It is one of the
1 most remarkable cures that has
• iconic under my observation.”
i j “Mr. Campbell, you have had a
■ i long and varied experience in min
- gling with men, and observing
their afflictions and the remedies
used—what is your opinion as to
the merits of Swift’s Specific?”
“In a ministry of sixty years I
have mingled with every class of
society, and have observed closely
the variety of disease which afflict
humanity. Bloood diseases are
the most numerous and the most
difficult to remove. In my earlier
life, Sands Sarsaprilla was the
great blood purifier . Many oth
er have come to the surface, but
it is my deliberate judgement
that Swift's Specilic is the grand
est blood purifier ever discovered.
There is nothing comparable to it.
There is nothing too good to say
about Swift's Specific.”
