Tho Twin Portraits.
From the Soulliorn Homo Journal,
A rising nrtiat t So Gilliort Lawson
wns called | but only by a small circle
of his cspoulal friends,' Otherwise he
wns entirely unknown to famo. lint
ho was hopcfnl. Onco ho saw an eagle
loavo its noBt, and soar high np to
wards tho sun, while its unfcnthcrod
a fluttered, but remained behind,
i to follow. Uo felt that It wns
much tho Batno with himself—that
straggles would strengthen his pin
ions, and ho would in Viino ho nblo to
ascend tho great ladder of fame. And
so ho tolled unceasingly.
For soma months ho Imd been engag
ed. on n portrait. Ho had found his
model in a young girl, perhaps twelve
years ot age. lie had llrst met her in
the streets; and sho was a beggar, or
tho noxt thing to it—she wns a street-
singer. When her voico first foil upon
ids ears it thrilled him, for it was wild
ly beautiful. Ho knew that voice
troinbloii. He saw her hands ns it wns
extended to reculvo the piljful coin
dropped.into it; and ha observed that
tills trembled also, nud that it was vory
tiny nnd dolicnle. Then ha looked
upon hor face.
Her eyes were of heavenly bine, hut
wore a sad expression, nnd were down-
east. Her golden liuir full in tangled
masses over her shoulders—indeed,
sho was bcatiliful, although no one lint
tlio young and enthusiastic painter had
ns yet especially noticed that beauty.
When ho explained to her bin wish,
her face became radiant with plensure,
which lent it an additional charm.
The plutnro wns completed, nnd the
artist sat gazing on it. He could
scarcely decide which bo loved tho
best—the original or the semblance.—
But, dropping n curtain before Ills
work, ho arose, nnd walked to the win
dow, gazing into tho street.. A sigh
escaped hint; nnd so absorbing were
ids thoughts, that he did not observe
tho entrance of a second party, untila
hand was placed on his shoulder, nnd
a voice said,-“Gilbert I have called to
see your work, ns I promised yon.”
Tlic artist blushed, nud oven trem
bled; nud us lie lilted tlio covering, re
marked, “Mr.' Byrd, my fato depends
upou a few words which you will speak
now. 1 hnvo thrown my whole soul
into tills picture, and I am everything
or nothing. You nre an old painter—
speak candidly—tell me just what you
think)*'
It was some moments before the
young man raised his eyes, and then
only when attracted liy the long-contin
ued silence of his friend. When lie
did so, lie saw Hint Mr. Byrd wns pale
as dentil, lmd sunk into a clmir, nnd
ho trembled violently. He sprang to
his rido with a cup of water, and When
lie oliLinnn bad partially recovered
edfWhal, in the name hr Irene
on, is the matter with you, uiy friend?”
“Where is your model ?—who is your
model?” gasped Byrd.
All was explained, and then the old
man continued..
“Take your painting—como with mo
to my house 1"
Gilbert followed his old friend, nnd
lie entered a superb mansion in due
time, nnd was then taken direct to tlio
studio. His own picture was placed
besido another; and it was tho young
man's turn to start in surprise, for here
were two portraits exactly alike, with
tlio exception of tho dres«.
Mr. Byrd now said, “ Bo seated,
.Gilbert, and I will tell you a secret
which lias never been breathed to mor
tal man before. Twenty ycnis ago,, I
painted tlio likeness of my only daugh
ter, nnd the picture you see before yon.
Sho wns then ten yonrs of age—she is.
now thirty, nnd still with me.”
“May not this ho her ehild—this
modcl.of mine?"
“ Listen. At tlio ago of nineteen,
my daugltor did ns ninny a good girl
lias done before her—she married-
without my knowledge, and to one who
was to mo nil ontiro stranger, and
nearly so to her,* Tlint husband prov
ed to lie n villain, for in two years af
ter lie forsook her. More than this
—lie took with him a little daughter,
by tho name of Grace. The blow
nearly killed tlio mother, and even
lime has never healed tlio wound. 1
have made every effort to trace out tho
man, nnd recover our darling, but in
vain. I gninod such information, how
ever, that I was satisfied he hud died
miserably in n distant town, nnd wo
hnvo given littlo Grade up as for ever
lost. Now yon can account for my
agitation when I first saw your paint
ing, can you not?”
“I can divine your thoughts."
“What is the name of your model?”
“I only know herns Katie,tire street-
singer.”
“You know where sliecan be found?"
“Yes.”
“Let us go for her at once.”
In two hours after, the littlo beggar
entered tho splendid saloon of the
Byrd mansion. She was liowildcred,
for sire lmd never gazed upon so much
olcgunce before, except ns site had
seen it from tlio streets, through the
closely-curtained windows. Her con
fidence wns soon restored, however, by
lire kind treatment site received, anil
then sho wns con'd noted to tlio study.
As her eyes fell upon tho pictures,
she stood motionless for a time, nnd
then said, “ Why, you have painted
two pictures of me, instead of one,
Mr. Gilbert.”
“Yes—would you not like a copy ?"
“Oh, so much I" she answered, her
eyce becoming brilliant with anticipa
tion.
“You shall bavo one of them. Which
do you prefer?”
“This. I feel as if I could love it I”
—and tho young creature knelt before
the mother, whilo tears flllod her eyes.
This, was too much for tho grand-
fattier. Ho sank into a seat, and cov
ered liis.faco with ills hands, while tho
tears trickled through his fingers.
“ What ie your full nnino?" Asked
allbort.
‘‘Katio Courtney. I thought you
know Hint hoforo.l’
“ Courtney was his narno," groaned
lire old man.
“Do you remember your parents ?"
ngnln asked Gilbert.
“Only my father. lie was not very-
kind to me, and died in Plymouth sev-
ofnl years ago."
“And you Imvo been singing for
your broad over sinoo?"
“I have.”
“Well, if yot) are to imvo the pic
ture, I want you to eing mo a song 1
now. You will do so, will you not ?”
“Oh, yes, willingly I”
She began olio of her wild strains,
nnd the dwelling was filled witli the
sweat melody.
This lmd not long continued before
Hie door of the studies was opened, nnd
a indy entered tlio room. Silo was
pale, nnd staggered as if suffering from
great weakness. She clutched tlio
back of a chair for support, nnd then
asked, In a faint voice, “ Who is this
singer?"
To imvo answered in words wonld
Imvo been useless, however, for tier
eyes had fallen upon the fnco of the
child; nnd, with a dull shriek, tho
mother fell fainting upon the floor.
Inan Instant, Katie, or Grade, ms
was her real name, wns by her side.—
As sho gazed upon Hie marble face,
sire exclaimed, “Oil, this is tho other
picture I"
“Can you not imagine who it is ?"
“Not my mother I Oh, toll in?, is i t
my mother ?”
“It is.”
Joy never kills. Tire orphan child
at tills moment gave vent to hor fuel-
lugs lu sobs, caresses, nnd words or
endearment; nnd it was not long be
fore the mother was fully conscious of
her great happiness.
Those twin portraits bnd been tlio
means of uniting those loved ones,
who lmd been so long and cruelly sep
arated.
Noble Sentiments.
Tlio following is an extract from
Albert -Pike’s into speech lu St. Louis.
It cannot be reprinted too often: '
The man who says that we who nre
now designated as Rebels do not intend
in good faith to support the Constitu
tion nml labor for tlio preservation Of
tlio Union, tells you n falsehood. He
lies in Iris teeth, and I have no hesita
tion in saying so. (Great dicers.) It
is not tlio honorable Federal soldier
who makes tlio charge, but tlio sneak
who never saw tlio tented field, nnd
who never-dared to enter personally
into tho fight. (Cheers.) I desire to
testify my appreciation of tlio kind
ness and mnguniinity' of tlio Federal
deckle, Justly nud generously towards
all. (Cheers.)
I say it with pride that never since
tlio closo of tlio war Imvo I been treat
ed discourteously, never an unkind
look nor unkind word from tlio open,
manly Federal soldiers. They fought,
they fought successfully, they know
how to treat bravo and manly foe
Arid if you give confidence to tbo lion
cat nud courageous peoplo of tlio
South; if you take tho bayonet from
their throats, tlio padlock from their
lips; if you enfranchise them nnd trust
them, I pledge you the word of a mail,
aye, 1 filtdgo you tho honor of uiy race,
that wo will in good fulth discharge all
tlio obligations imposed upon us by
tlio Constitution, all our duties under
the Union.

falling into lier arms and covering h?r
with blood. The shock affected her
grently, and wliou, in seven months af

Tlio limbs were perfectly developed,tlio
arms long, nnd tlio shoulders where the
head and neck should bo, smoothly
rounded off.
But the most surprising tiring of all
is.tl\ab the face is situated in tlio breast.
Of course, there being no nook, the
power of turning its head is wanting,
except as tlio whole body is moved; but
tills difficulty is overcomo liy the singu
lar faculty it possesses of turning its
eyes in their sockets, enabling It tosco
quite ns well oil either side as tiioso

tion of its body is white ns tho purest
Caucasian;' from tlio waist downwards
is a blood red. This strange creature,
now an active boy of five years old, os
if to compensate for its deformity, pos

correctness everything itmny hoar, nnd

A Mlnistor Ordained by Women.
A new incident in tho history of tho
church occurred at Marblehead, in this
State, on the 2d. At the ordination of
William Garrison Haskell, ns pastor of
tho First Universnlist Church, of that
place, the Rev. I’bebo A. Uanaford, of
llinglmm delivered tlio charge, ami the
Rev. Olympia Brown of Wevinoth, tho
prayer. Tills being, so far as I am
aware, the first occasion when women
have taken a leading part in the ordi-
nntlon service of any church, it ims
seemed to mo worthy of notice in the
Revolution, and a matter of Interest to
the world.
A novel incident of tho sorvico-wns
the laying on of hands, condnctcd by
four uiinisters.Mrs. Han ford nnd Miss
Brown participating. Tlio charge by
the Rev. M rs. Ilanaford was as beauti
ful ns tlio eloquent words and forcible
manlier of that spiritual woman could
make it. Site commenced by saying,
“George, my dear brother, you have
chosen Thebe, servant of the Church
of Uinghnm,’ to give you tlio solemn
charge, nud to deliver unto you the
oracles of God, one of which is your
belief that there is neither tribe! nor

Badioal KuEluxera.
Wo copy tlio following from the Pu
laski Citizcu:
Saturday night last throe mon, in
tlie garb of what was onco known in
this county as Ku-Klux-Klan, which
organization tlio people wore inclined
to think Imd censed to oxist, went to
tlie negro quarters on tlio Porter plnce,
a few miles west of town, and by in
timidating tlie negroes by violent Ku-
Klux threats, forced them to submit to
a wholesale robbor.y without resistance.
But as they were leaving, nnd while
passing through tho premises of Mr.
C. Abernathy, who lives upou the
same plantation, tlmtgeutleman unex
pectedly leveled a double-barreled shot
gun at them, ami ordered them to un
mask. The argument was irresistible,
and in Qomplying,. tbo liorrilils Ku-
Klux revealed the laves of three noto
rious negro-loving, Radical Brown-
lowite8. Two of them were named
Yanoy, and the other ono Fondrin

This is tlie llrst case llmt Ims hap

Indian Fioiit in Texas.—Gen.
Reynolds reports from Austin, Texas,
tlml a detachment of tlio 9th Cavalry,
from Fort Davis,overtook 200 Indians
and killed 30, wounded 36, rescued 2
captives, captured 200 animals, and
destroyed tlio Indian camp and winter
supplies.
Lieut. Scott states that, in tlie recent
fight in Texas, among nine persons
killed, were five whito men painted like
Indians.
John G. Saxo says it is a common

tbo favored individual to bo born again.

Fifth Act In a Protraoted Tragedy.
A Good Yum.
In tlio vlllngo of W lived a man
who Imd onco boon a Judge of tlio
county, and well'known all ovor It by
the name of Judge [..—Ilokeptivstora
nnd saw-mill, nnd was always sure to
Imvo thq best of tlio bargain on Iris
stile, by which Inj Imd gained an ample
fortune, nml some did not lies|tato to
call him tlio biggest rascal in tlio world.
Ho was vory ooniolted withal, nnd
used to brag of his business capacity
when any ono wns near,to listen. Ono
riiiny. day, ns quite a nujnhcr wore
seated around tlio atove, ho began as
usual to toil of Iris great knrgains, and
at last wound tip with tlio expression:
“ Nobody Ims ovor cheated me, and
they can’t neither."
“ Judge," snid an old man of tlio
company, “I've cheated you rnbro than
you ever did me."
“How bo?" said tho.Judgo.
“ If you will promise you won’t go
to law about it, nor do nnytkhig I’ll
toll you or eiso I won’t; you’re too
much of a law clmrao er for me.”
“Lot’s hear f” cried a half dozen
voices at once.
“I’ll promiso said the Judge, “and
treat in tlio bargain if you imvo.”
“ Well, do you remembor that wag
on you robbed me off",
“I never l-obhcd you of any wagon ;
I only got the best of tlie bargain,”
said the Judge.
‘‘Well, I made up my mind to imvo
it back, and—”
“You nbver did,!’ interrupted thi
cute Judge.
“Yes, I did, and interest too.”
“flow so?” thundered tlio now en
raged Judge.
“ Well, you see, Judge, I sold you
ono day a very nico pine log, nnd bar
gained will; you for a lot more. Well,
that log I stole off your pile down by
tlio uiill-thc night before, and tlie next
day I sold it to you. Tho npxt night
I drew it home, and sold it to you tho
next day, and so I kept ou until you
bad bought your owu 16g of mo twen
ty-seven times 1
“That's a lie!” exclaimed tlio infu
riated Judge, nmtiing’to his book aud
examining iris Jog accounts; “you nev
er sold me twenty-seven logs of tho
same measurement-"
“I know itr,” said tbo vender In logs;
“by drawing hack and forth, llm end
wore off, nud ns it wore 1 kept cutting
tlie end off, until it wn9 ten feel iong—
JuSt fourteen loot shorter than it was

it got so Bhort I drew it homo and
worked it up into shingles, nnd the
next week you bought tlio shingles,
und I concluded I had got the worth
of my wagon—and stowed away in uiy
pocket book.”
Tho exclamation of tho Judgo wns
crowned in tlio shouts of the bystand
ers, and tho log drawer found tlio door

From a note from our friend Cnpt. 8 i, w t ,p tlio holos in your stockings, as
J. R. Paco, of Rogeraville, wo learn
that on Sunday evening last Mr. J. C.
Willis, who, it will bo Fomcmbercd,
killed tho notorious Bill Sizemore,
about a year ago in Hawkins county,
wns himself murdored in Clinch, in
said county, by a man named Burton,
between whom nnd Willis there had
been an old grudge. Tlie full particu
lars of the murder nre not given
Willis was shot first in tlie side. Tho
wound not producing instant death, lie
asked that he might be permitted to
sco Iris wife, but Burton did not spare
him. *He then shot him in the head,
killing him instantly. Willis did not
fire a shot. Tho shooting was done
while both were on horseback.
Tills murder calls up a long train of
homicides. In 1864, an old nnd high
ly esteemed citizen of Russellville, Mr.
Cain, was killed by a young Federal
soldier, a oitizen of tho same county,
named Bowioy. A short time after
wards Bcwley was killed by one of the
sons of old man Cain. But a short
time was loft for young Cain to live.
Hu fell a victim to tho murderous hand
of a friend of Bowley, Bill Sizemore,
who, shortly after tho killing of young
Cain, completed the iisi of his murders
by brutally murdering Lieut. Thurman,
of Hawkins county. Sizemore did not
livo long to gloat ovor iris deeds of
blood. Tlio avenger was on bis path,
and in a .very short time Sizemore was
sent to eternity liy a bullet from tbo
pistol of I. C. Willis. Willis now is
murdered, and we may well, in liorroa,
exclaim, where will the terrible tragedy
end ?—Knoxville. Press.
Singular Accident About two
weeks since Mrs. Martin Chnce, of

accidentally drew a small needle, witli
a piece of thread attached, which she
hold in her mouth, into her windpipo.
Sho was immediately seized witli -Vio
lent paroxysms of choking and cough

for some lime, but Dually became ensi-
or. She remained in this critical con
dition, with occasional intorvalsof rest,
eleven days, during which time several
unsuccessful at-tumpts were made to
relievo hor by different physicians
On Saturday tho operation of traclico)
tomy, or opening tlio windpipe, was
performed, nnd search made, but the
needle was not discovered. Tlie wound
was left open until tlio patient regain
ed Strength to bear a rc-axaminntion.
A second attempt wns mado on Tncs-
duy, which rosultod in recovering the
needle. Her recovery is probable.

the hole, be it email or large, with a

Stockings mended in this way need

Avoid open-worked stockings and

Train yourself to useful occupation.
Remember it is wicked to waste tirno,
nnd nothing gives such an impression
or vanity and absolute silliness ns a
habit of idling aud never having any
thing to do.
if you nro in your father’s house,
take some department of household lu-
bor upou yourself, and a part of the
sewing, and make it your business to
attend to it. Do not lot a call from
this idle girl, or a visit from that, or
an invitation from tlie other, intorlcro
with the porformaiico of your duty.
Let your pleasures come in as re
creation, not as th s buslnoss of our
lifo.
If yon want to marry, do not court
or try to attract the attentiou of gon;
tlumcu. A littlo wbolosomo indiffer
ence, real or nssumed, will bo much
more likely to accomplish the object.
Consider, howevor, that it is hotter to
bo n woman than a wife, und do not de
grade your sox by making your whole
existence turn on the pivot of matrimo
ny. .
If you can, cultivate to perfection
some art by wulch you could gain an
iudepeudent livelihood. Do it wheth
er there is necessity for it or not. Do
it quietly, if you will, Imt do it. There
is no tolling when or uuder wlmt cir
cumstances you may need it.—Denior-
eel.

, ’ . Tho Suicidal Cat.
Tlirro 't.h „ iii,n wind Furgusoit,
llo llrocl on Mnrkut otreot,
He hml It gpcokliHl ThomnR Cot,
That cotlhltl’t well he heat;
He'd catchmore raU nml mice nud nloli
Than forty cats could cat.
Thin cat would como Into tho room
And climb-upon a cheer,
And there he'd ait and lick himself
And purr ao awriil quetr,
That Fuiyunon would yell at him—
llut alill he'd purr-ievory.
And then lin'd climb tho moonlit fenoe,
And loaf around ami yuwl,
And aplt and nlaw another cat,
Alongside of tho Jowl;
And then they bout would aliako tholr tails,
And Jump around aud howl.
Ob, this hero cat of Furgu-on'a
Waa fearlul then to ace -,
He'd yell precisely like he was
[n fearful agony;
You’d think a tlmH-lara ftomach-nclio
Had struck acme small bnby.
And all tho mothora in tlio atroct,
Waked by tho horrid dio,
Would riao right up and search their babel,
To find aonio worryin pin;
And still this vigorous cat would keep
A hol.orln like aim
And aa for Mr. Ferguson,
’I’was more than he could bear,
And ao ho hurled hia boot Jack out,
Right through the midnight air;
Dut tills vociferous Thomas Oat-
Rot ono cent did he care.
For still ho yowled nnd kept his fur
A standing up on end,
And his old spiuo a doublin' up
As far aa it wonld bend,
As if hia hopes of happlno-s
bid ou his lungs depend.
But whilo a curvin’ of his aplne,
And wuiting to attack
A eat upon Urn other fence,
There came an nwful'erack; •
And this here speckled Thomas Oat, I
Was bustod In tho buck,
Wlicn Furguson camo down next day,
There lay hia old fellno,
And not a lifo waj loft in him,
Although he had hnd nine.
“All this has como,” said Furguson,
“Of curvin' of his rplne.”
Now all yo Rads whose tender hearts
This painful talc docs rack,
Just take tills moral to younelvea,
All of you, white ami black;
Don't ever go, like this hero oat,
To gottlil* up your book.
