KLI.A GOODWIN'S TKIAL. BY H. ANNIE EJvOH’r. “ (ioing out again ?” l llla (ioodwin spoke in a fretful tone, nncl her pretty face was puckered up into a most dismal frown. “ I promised Charley I would step round for an U*,iur or and Viav* R game, of domiu^cß.” “ Anything to get away from home !” But Will Goodwin was already out of bearing. Jlis wife, alter a fretful re* mark addressed to the walls, to the ef fect that she was a fool for ever getting married, took a novel from under the sofa cushion and was soon reading with an air of absorbed interest. Baby woke and made the fact shrilly known. An impatient toss threw tile book down again, and baby was soothed to sleep with a gentleness strangely at variance with the jerk that had put the book upon the table. When ho slept once more rathe cradle Mila yawned and again took up her book. But before she had opened it there was a lap at tho door, and an elderly lady with a sweet, fair face came in. “Alone?” she said, as Ella eagerly welcomed her and took off her wraps/ “lam always alone ! Will gets his meals hers 1” was tho bitter reply. “He goes to the store as soon as be swallows his breakfast, and ho is always out in the evening. Now he is with his brother playing dominoes.” “ Don’t you play dominoes?” “Yes.” “ I’d keep him at home to play.” “He would not care to stay. ' I sup pose all young married men tire of home, Aunt Mary ?” > “Not all ! But yon speak in a bitter tone that pains me, Ella. It is not like you.” “ I feel bitter 1 I have no one to talk to but you, and I never complained be fore, but I am tired of being alone all the time. Baby fills the day, but novels don't fill the evening.” “Ella, since you have spoken to me, advice'* 1 ' 1 TrA frivp v °n a word of “you know you may/* “ Look in tho mirror, dear, then look around the room !” Ella obeyed. In the mirror she saw a slender figure robed in a morning wrapper, without any collar or cufL, and not precisely cleati; a faefi pretty and expressive, with a wreath of golden hair loosely knotted into a comb, and decidedly untidy. The room a hand somely-furnished sitting room, was beg ging for a broom as eloquently as a dusty carpet could beg. Harry’s cradle iu one corner balanced a disordered work-table in another. The center table was piled with mishellaneous arti cles, amongst Which a bowl of bread and milk and a fire shovel Dgured con spicuously. * A crimson flush rose on the young wife’s cheek. “ What is the use of having things nice wht n nobody sees them but me, or dressing, when Will is never at home?” “ He might be at home more if things were nice and you were dressed.” There was a si lei ice for a few moments. Then Ella spoke : “ I’ll try it, auntie. I suppose it is partly my fault. Before Harry was born he was at borne more, but I have been careless wince then.” “You are not strong, T know,” Aunt Mary said very kiudly, “ and baby is a care, but I would try to be dressed in the evening and have.the room cheerful. Your piano looks as if it was never opened !” “It never is!” . * “ Don’t you havtwtimorto' practice?” “ l can't plead want of time, auntie. J;uu) is one ol' the best of and time hangs upon my hand*. fain glad you came in. J believe 1 wanted a moral shaking.” Tln n they talked of other mat ters, of Harry's first iootli tnci baby accomplish ments, of the winter fashions, of femi nine interests of all kinds. The innate sweetness of Ella’s temper made her take her aunt's, gentle reproof in the spirit of love that dictated it, and when the parting gar ess was given she whis pered : ‘‘ i’ll try. auntia, to make home more attractive for Wm.*’ She was fast asleep with Harry nestled in her arms when Will eirne home, but the tonch of his lips upon her cheek aroused her. “ Did you have a pleasant evening ?” she asked. “Aunt Mary was here and left her love for you.’' “Charley and I played awhile, and then Mira Creighton dropped in and sang for us.” . „ ** She seems to drop in pretty often.’’ “ She is so intimate with the girls,” “ I never thought her singing very wonderful.” “You sing far better. Bat when I can’t get any better I like hers.” It was not the first time Will had told the same story, and strong in her new resolution Ella determined upon a good hour of practice early in the morning. Jane was rather amazed at the clean ing the sittimr-room received at the hands of herself and her mistress. The cradle whs banisl#*d into the adjoining bedroom, where baby could still be heard if he wakened; the fire-shovel assumed its legitimate place at the hearth. It rathei astonished Ella herself to find how many useless articles were “about,” and how universally everything was in the wrong place. But by noon the room was bright as hands could make it, and after luncheon a man was sent for to tune the piano, closed for nearly a year. The six o’clock dinner brought Will. Ella was in the hall as he entered, ami led the way to the dining room, where a cheery brightness reigned. Two Dollars Per Annum, VOLUME 111. “Company, Nell?” queried Will, his eyes resting upon his wife. The golden hair—carefully curled—was gathered into a mass with a comb, and fell in a profusion of natural ringlets upon Ella’s shoulders, the waving !>am Is drawn flack from her face. Her dress, of soft blue merino, was finished with dainty ruffle* at throat and wrists, and Will’s last Christmas gift, a set of cameos, held collar, cuffs, and dropped from the delicate ears. Not a costly dress, but carefully adjusted, fitting exquisitely, and certainly most becom ing. - , ’ “No company,” said Ella, “ but our selves, unless you count Harry. I bavc made you some of the bread sauce you are so fond of, Will! ” “ You’re a jewel. Only don’t make yourself sick in the hot kitchen, Nell ! lou are not very strong, you know.” Nell blushed at that, for it reminded her of many a neglected duty, many a lazy hour, for which the plea had been offered in excuse. 1 hat did not hurt me,” she oo;j, *ior I was in the Kitchen making some lemon-pies ” Lemon pies ! You make my mouth water. Nobody else can make them to taste like yours ! ” So dinner was a success, Ella was a good cook, and Will was never sparing of praise for tbe,dainties ghe provided. But she. had left the kitolien to Jane so long that her husband had ceased to look for the dainty trifles that had graced his table before Ella’s health had become feeble. Dinner over, Will, in great good hu mor, went to the sitting-room. The open grate threw a ruddy glow upon tlxe bright surroundings, and his face lighted with pleasure. But the large eyes fairly danced as he cried : “ The piano open ! I began to think it was buried forever !” “Not quite!” said Ella, laughing, and yet blushing brightly ; “ I thought from what you said last night you would like to hear me sing again !” “You bet I would!” was the em phatic, if not very elegant, response. “Let’s play dominoes, then, till I can sing. It is too soon after dinner now. Be merciful, for I am out of practice, remember.” Here Jane came in with Master Harry, ready for bed, and after soft kisses he was taken into the next room and put into his cradle. “ You will come up if he cries, Jane,” Ella said, and took down the domino bpx. “I, think Harry is eld enough now to spare me in the evening,” she added in explanation. “Little monkey, how lie grows!” was the reply,, “ Come, what is your highest ?” Cunningly Ella kept up the interest of the game till nearly nine o’clock, ihen NSIiP mnnU --4 ciuai iua highly culti vated, and she was surprised to find how much pleasure she felt herself iu once more exercising it. . Eleven o’clock chimed on the little mantel clock when Will was pleading for “ just one more” ..song, and Ella sang the “ Good-night” in answer. “By Jove ! T ’ cried' Will, “I was to meet Charley at the club-room at eight. Where has the evening gone?” “Never mind! Any other evening will do as well,” said Ella. The next day was stormy. Ella ap peared at breakfast with neatest of col lars and coll’d, hair in a knot like bur nished gold, and a face like a sunbeam. Will, who had eaten in solitary state for more mornings than his wife cared to count, was as attentive as a lover. His parting kiss accompanied the words : “ Take a nap, Nell, this morning. We must keep you well, you know! I haven’t enjoyed my breakfast so much for a year.” “ Don’t forget the new songs, Will. If you will send them round I will try them over beforp you come home.” “ I’ll send them then as I go down town.” i Wot and dismally muddy Will came in from a February storm of ram upon melting snow. Ella was waiting for him, and drew him into the bedroom. Before the fire hung a dressing-gown of bright cashmere faced with blue silk, while under the dry, warm socks a pair of gorgeous slippers were toasting. ‘‘Good gracious! Nell, where did those come from?” said Will, hastily drawing off his soaked boots. “It is your birthday. Have you for gotten ? 1 1 bought those to-day for you.” “Oat in all this rain ?” “I did not walk much. Try them on, Will !” “ Fine as a Turk 1” said Will, twisting before a mirror to see how the dressing gown fitted. “Now come aDd have some hot soup. I made it.” “See here, Nell, ain’t you doing too much?” “Not a bit. I needed a good toast ing over the fire after being out and I took it over soup and pudding in the kitchen, instead of over a novel here. That is all the difference. Jane will ring the tongue out of that bell if we don’t hurry. That is the third time she has summoned us. ” Dinner over, the new songs were tried, a few games of checkers pre ceding the music. Then there was some animated chat about anew busi ness interest of which Will spoke, and Ella confessed to having read the paper. It was one of her old customs resumed, for Will had dearly liked to discuss the day’s news with her in the evening. Bke had a bright intelligence and could converse well on the inter ests of the day, but novels had su perseded newspapers while she “was not very strong.” Again eleven o’clock struck before Will knew the evening was half gone. “ Caailej will think I have deserted him,” ho said; “but slippers and dressing-gown are too comfortable to bo easily resigned.” Ella softly stroked the hair of a head resting upon the back of the great arm chair as Will spoke. A strong arm encircled her and she was drawn te her husband’s knee. “Little woman,” lie said tenderly, “ 1 cannot tell you how glad I am you are well again. It was awfully dismal seeing yon always in the direlul wrap -1 per. But—” and man-like he hesitated EASTMAN,’DODGE CO., GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH IS, 1575~ “ I suppose I ought to have stayed at home more ! ” “ You will now ? ” she said anxioWly. “Where can I find so pleasant a place,” he said, with loving fervor, “or so precious a companion ? ” It was nearly a month later that Aunt Mary, spending an evening with Will’s motner, heard Charley grumblingly declare: “ There is no getting Will to go any where nowadays. He sticks at home in the evening as if he were glued there. I went round there Saturday. Jane was out, Nell lying on the lounge with a headache and Will reading to her, while he rocked the cradle with one foot. “‘Can’t leave,’he tohl me; ‘Nell requires all my attention, for I can’t possibly afford to have her sick again !’ ” And so Aunt Mary knew that Ella had “ tried ” to make home pleasant and succeeded.— Hearth and Home* Ku 'i)l.Su>uni.u/l -.... Gay-colored flowers may attract the eye, but it is the sweet-scented kind which command our most sinoere love and admiration. Form and size are also attractive properties of plants, and wo may ad mire and enjoy the graceful leaves of tho delicate fern or those of the lofty palm of the tropics, somewhat as we do the lovely cascades or magnificent landscape; but the fragrance of flowers is the soul of beauty, a thing to be felt, known and enjoyed, still remaining hidden from human eyes. It is true that there are persons who either cannot or do not appreciate the delicious fragrance of flowers; but they are rare exceptions to the general rule. Wo have only to glaßce over the pages of floricultural history to learn how strong a hold plants with sweet scented flowers have upon the affections of mankind. Fashion may for a time popularize the gaudy-colored zinnia, the straight laced and stately hollyhock, or geomet rical dahlia ; but their superficial mer its never strike very deep in the affec tions of the masses, hence the vacilla tions observed in their culture. Of course, we would not < xclude gav-col ored flowers from the garden any more than we would bright-colored garments from children, for they attract the eye and in turn lead to a closer acquaint ance with both the useful and beauti ful in nature. For 270 years the small colorless but sweet-scented tuberose has held undis puted sway as one of the queens of the floral kingdom, its popularity increas ing with each succeeding generation. Wonderful discoveries have been made in the .lily family during the past few years. New species and varieties of sides those found Tn OaliidrniH tim who would exchange that little gem known as lily of the valley for the best or most gay-colored of them all. Keates truthfully said : No flower amid tho garden fairer grows, Than the sweet lily of the lowly vale, The queen of flowers. It-is neither large nor showy in color, but its sweetness has ever made it a universal favorite. The wall flowe?s, ten weeks stocks, heliotrope and mig nonette possess none of the showy kinds of beauty; still few plants can claim more friends or genuine admira tion. The camellia is a showy and beautiful flower, fit to bedeck a queen ; but the little orange blossom, with its lovely fragrance, fittingly becomes the bride. . ~, Spring will soon come again, and then I would urge every one who cultivates flowers to remember the sweet-scented kinds. In making out lifts of plants do not overlook the fragrant sorts. We have gay and showy clematis in abun dance ; but few are fragrant, the old C. Flammula being the best of all. Among the climbing honeysuckles tho old Belgian monthly and the Chi nese evergreen are indispensable, on account of their sweetly-smelling flow ers. Talk as we will, or even attempt to despise tho old-fashioned plants, few can forget the sweet rocket or the tranche* of grass pinks in “my moth er’s garden.” If we would have chil dren carry with them through life pleas ant thoughts of childhood days, sur round them with fragrant flowers. Even tho rose shall “smell as sweet by any other name.”— Cor. N. Y. Independent Informal People. Preserve us from unceremonious peo ple—those men and women who “never stand on ceremony ” —who are always perfectly at home in other people’s houses! Society lias many pets, but few so intolerable as they. “Free and easy” visitors are most tliorougly disagree able. They will indict themselves upon you at any time, and expect to be always cordially welcomed because they are so free and easy and so loth to put anybody to trouble. They will come before breakfast., or j ust ns you are sitting down to dinner, and draw up their chairs quite like one of the family. Early in the morniDg they delight to “ run in,” and they will come right up to your chamber to save you the trouble of coming down, and there they will sit and watch you make your toilet, and comment on how gray your hair is getting, and wonder if you arc not a good deal stouter and red der in the face than you used to be. They will hunt over yonr writing-desk for note-paper ; bathe their faces with your cologne-water, and scent their handkerchiefs with the contents of yonr choicest perfumery bottle. They are always ready for luncheon—“ You know I’m too much at home in your house to go hungry, my dear,” —and any stray confectionery lying about melts before them as dew before the sun. They make no scruple of borrowing your latest magazines and novels ; even your ward robe does not escape their encroach ments; and all this insolence is clwakec; by some such empty remark as this : “ I never stand on ceremony, but make my self at home everywhere, so don’t put yourself out to entertain me !” Again we pray, preserve us from unceremoni ous people ! If you want newspapers to publish i yonr poetry and to be anxious to secure it, always start off with, “He faded ‘ away like a summer flower.” In God }Yc Trust . THE FORTY - FOURTH CONGRESS.

A writer in the Popular Science Monthly says : “In the beginning of 1846, a year memorable in the history of table-turning and spirit-rapping, Angelique Cottin was a girl of fourteen, living in the village of Bouvigny, near La Perriero, Department of Orne, Prance. She was of low stature, but of robust frame, and apathetic to an extraordinary degree both in body and mind. On January 15 of the year named, while the girl was with three others engaged in weaving silk-thread gloves, the oaken table at which they worked began to move and change posi tion. The workmen were alarmed; work v as for a moment suspended, but was soon resumed. But when Angeli que again took her place the table be gan anew to move with great violence ; she felt herself attracted to it, but, so soon as she touched it, it retreated be fore her, or was even upset. The fol lowing morning similar phenomena were observed ; and before long public opinion was very decided in affirming that Angelique Cottin was possessed of a devil, and that she should be brought before the parish priest. Bat the cure was a man of too much common sense to heed their request for an exorcism, and resolved to see the facts for him self. The girl was brought to the cure’s house, and there the phenomena were repeated, though not with the same intercity as before ; the table re treated, but was not overturned, *hile the chair on which Angelique was seated moved in a contrary direction, rocking the while, and giving Angelique great, difficulty in keeping her seat.” In the days when rouge-et-noir flour ished at Baden Baden the Prussian of ficers were strictly forbidden to play. On of them, however, dressed as a civilian, ventured to place 10 Napoleons on a color. The color came up twice, and the officer was just about to take ut) the money when his eye fell upon the king of Prussia, who was watching the game with interest. In his fright, the officer did not dare to remove his XapoleoLS. The play continued and the same color came up a third, a fourth, a fifth time, and 3,200 francs were added to his pile, but the winner stood.motionless, erect as if on parade, expecting the next instant to see all his winnings wiped out. The king put an end to his suspense by approaching and saying in a kindly mood : “I ad vise you to draw in your winnings and to be* quick about it, before I notice you ; your luck cannot continue so favorable.” Payable in Advance. , NUMBER 7. George Washington’s Family. Some Interesting Facts-Probable Origin ot the American Flag. The Washington’s were North of Eng land people, who some time lived in Durham, then in Lancashire, and finally in back to the reigns of the seventh and eighth Harrys for a founder, and we find aim in Sir Thomas Kitson, one of the great merchants who developed the wool trade. The first of the family to fettle in the rich pasturage of the mid land county of Northampton was Law rence Washington, whose mother was a Litton. Lawrence was a barrister, but gave up his profession of the law for the good and ancient reason, perhaps, that though he was bred to the law, the law was not bread for him, and so he retired to the country to look after his uncle Kitson’s flocks of merinos. Law rence must have been a man of some significance, for he was made mayor of and when Bluff Hal identified Lawrence being came in for a share ot wha£ in vulgar parlance might be called “ swag,” in other words, the king made a grant to him of the monastic lands of Sulgrave. Noar this was Althorp, the family seat of the Spencers, and the Lady Spencer of that day was the daughter of Sir lliomas Kitson, and consequently the first cousin of Lawrence Washington. The rector of the parish was Dr. Lay ton, who was Lord Cromwell’s prime commissioner for the dissolution of monasteries, by which we reach another cause, in addition to his blood relation ship to the Spencers, of why the lands of Sulgrave should have been given to Lawrence Washington. For three generations the Washing tons held Sulgrave, taking rank among the nobility and landed gentry of the country, but after that their fortunes waned. Sulgrave was sold, wnd the family retired to the parish of Brington, under the care and patronage as it were of poor relationship of the Spencers. Prosperity however came to them here quickly, and it came in a way to prove the respectability of yieir lineage. The eldest son of the family married the half-sister of George Villiers, duke of Buckingham, and thus we see the Washingtons intermarrying with two of the best families in all England. The Washington who emigrated to America in 1657 was the grandfather of the hero who sleeps on the banks of the Poto mac. In 1662 he was knighted by James L, and it is known that he was on the most friendly terms with the Spencers down to the very eve of the civil war. In that struggle the Wash ingtons drew their swords for the king. Sir Henry Washington led the storming party at Bristol, and defended Worces ter. Sir Henry held the rank of col onel, and was a man so noted for his In Brington cnurcn are iwa sepul chral stones, one bearing the date of 1616 over the grave of the father of Washington, the emigrant, in which his arms appear impaled with those of his wife. The other stone covers the remains of his uncle, and presents on a bass the simple family shield with the crescent appropriate to a younger brother. We have before us a tran script of this shield, and from it we are constrained to believe that the United States flag as seen now very certainly took its origin. In this shield are five horizontal stripes, of alternate gules and white, as are those of the national flag, while the three stars in the upper stripe have the parallel! peculiarity of being five-pointed. All this may not be of interest to those who care very little whether George Washington had a grandfather or not, but then again there may be others who will not think any the less of the father of the great repub lic because his ancestors fought against Cromwell and his Ironsides to keep Charles’ head upon his shoulders.— tit. Louis Republican. Curious Trees. Just beyond the Darbonne of Calca sieu river, in the parish of Caleasieu, is a white oak tree, about two and a half feet in diameter. There are no branches for twenty-five or thirty feet up. About twelve or fifteen feet up, a pino limb or part of a pine tree, six or eight inches in diameter, and twelve or sixteen feet ioDg, runs at right angles through the center of the tree, sticking out about the same distance on either side. It tapers a little to one end, where are two or three knots, giving it the appear ance of a tree top. The oak, where it passes through, is grown closely around it. The pine is rich in turpentine, and will not decay. There is no fork or hollow in the oak; but it has the ap pearance as if a hole had been made and the pine stuck through, after which the oak closed on it by growth. The question is, how did the pine get through the oak, or the oak round the pine? In Mallet woods there is another white oak, of considerable size, that divides into two prongs about one and a half feet from the ground, which, after running up like a pair of Lowlegs, about fifteen feet, unite in one round compact stem. The prongs are about one and a half feet in diameter ; and where they unite above, the tree is larger than either of them, but smaller than both together. A man can walk between the two prongs, and the tree stands on a land boundary line. Forked trees are very common ; but the question here is, how did the two proDgs unite so per fectly into one stem above. Dressing Wounds. —Dr. Alphonse Guerin, an eminent surgeon of the Hotel Dieu, m Paris, has presented to the French Academy of Sciences a memoir, of quite an interesting and important character, on the influence of atmos pheric germs on surgical maladies, and in which he strongly advocates the use of tow dressing for wounds. He states, as the result of much observation in this line, that, when this material is packed upon the injured part, the pus is completely preserved f-om putrid fermentation. He used the tow, in brief, as a filter for the air, which cir culates freely through it, and, in fact, produces an arrangement which is de scribed as highly analogous to the cotton wool respirator mentioned by Professor Tyndall in his paper on haze and dust^ EASTMAN TIMES.
