LITTLE DAISY. f=„mv'was rhSr.„ 3 ti. ana the pale moon was throwing out its soft beams on all the ground, mnk seen apjMitir lovely, iubiite a bare, little room, on a cot, lay a I Jn woman, | hollow seemingly* in great pain. )er cheeks ‘ burned two p,.j ' (r | lt ro<{ s S , » )otf . ‘ U1U c VC, J Iimv lU1<1 „ n ,i ' ■ then , a racking . cough , would con j vulse her body. She seemed to be : al>out twenty five years of age, but tho wasle j tbrm and hollow cheeks told of much sil fieri n<r. By the side () f the cot knelt a | ft tie <nrl Her golden hair hung in long ringlets down her back, and her deep blue eyes had in them a look of childish \ V<)e . “Mama,” said the little one, “I’m so tole. Tan't we have a little tire to warm poor ’ittlo Daisy’s foots.” “Darling, said the woman “they will come to us directly and will bring us food and fuel. ‘You come and stay in bed with mama, and keep your little self warm. But you must be still, as mama wishes to go sleep.” ’ to * * * * It was during the cold weather of >37 when there was so much suffer ing in New York, that several par ties of benevolent men had started out with a determination to alleviate some of the suffering of the poor. On this evening, Mr. Chatman, and several other gentlemen, were visit ing the tenement in which Daisy and her mother lived. * * * “Gentlemen, this Ituly appears sick; bring the lamp and lot us see what is the matter,” said Mr. Chat man. But as he saw the pale, worn face, be started back, “Great God,” lie said, “can this be Alice, who only seven years ago fled from mv home, a bright and happy ‘ girl. What a reck.” Hearing voices the dying woman slowly raised her head and said in a low voice: “I—thought—I heard—my fath er’s voice. I— thought—1—saw— be him—bending—over—me. Can—I mistaken ? Oh—my—fa—tlier— 3’ou will forgive-me,” here her voico * sunk to 11 whisper and her breathing During became difficult. all the time his daughter had spoken, Mr. Chatman’s face was a stud}*. He sank down - on his knees, and taking the poor, wasted hand in his own broad palm, he said tenderly : “No Alice, my daughter, you are not mistaken. Here is yout* father and he loves 3*011 as much as when in by gone days, he used to take you upon his knees and pet and fondle you. You must get well and come back to the old bouse which lias been so dreary since }*ou left. I have plenty.—” But here, Alice interrupted him. “1 know you have, my father, but lam going home. 1 feel that mv end is approaching, but before I go, 1 wish your forgiveness. I loved llenry Grantley, and 1 married him thinking that you would forgive me. \\ hen little Dais} 7 came, my cup was But overflowing with happiness. when Dais} 7 was only six months old, Henry sickened and died. For several days I knew nothing, but when I—had—recover¬ ed—I began working for Daisy. 1 — am—going—now. Oh—my father —take care of-—Daisy. You prom¬ ise ?,” here she raised her body as by a mighty effort, awaiting eagerly his reply. “Yes I promise,” answered Mr. Chatman. “Then 1 die happy. “May God bless you,” and to little Daisy who had in the meantime awoke and plainly was regarding with astonishment, written on her face. “My little Daisy, mother is going to take a long journey, never to come back. 80 kiss your mama, bye-bye. Oh, my darling, how i hate to part with you. But goodbye.” and sinking back, she died with a smile. \\ lien Mr. Chatman realized that his daughter was really dead, his grief was terrible to behold. But calming LYSl”tr himself, by a mighty effort, ; he said - “ Take h «>’ t° my home and see that she is put in Mrs. lleyyold's care. The men withdrew, leaving him alone with his child. But a parent's grief over a long-lost but found child are too sacred to be given to the world. * * * * Twelve years have passed and now the Daisy whom you knew as a child has grown into a tall, beautiful girl. On this night she is making her debut and the house is filled with the elite of the city. She moves among them all like a queen and ever and anon a little shadow of sadness veils her face, making her look even more beautiful. She has al¬ ways kept sacred the memory of her mother who bade her ‘-goodbye” to joiu the Heavenly throng. Syrup ot Figs I Nature’s own true laxative.

'Matters, which pass unnoticed »» the la, ‘K e clUes - El,t >» the cities gossip is quite as prevalent, and is .usual ly of a more virulent type. * I remember once leaving tho house of kind friends who entertained me charmingly, and meeting another friend on tho street, I spoke with flight and gratitude of the pleasant time 1 had enjoyed. The lady looked gra v e, sighed, and then said she felt ^ kei ‘ P‘ d / d ill duty to inform me that the friends who had oeen so kind to me were dangerous people to know, as their past history bore shadow upon its pages. I walked OII > and was joined by another friend —a widow—a few blocks down the street. The lady mentioned having seen me in conversation with the person whom I had just left said : ‘ I hope 3*011 are not on intimate terms with her, she said. “You know thnt Hiere are many people who believe her first marriage was— "*ell, no matter, but old residents here told me the story and Ido not care to know the lady myself.” -I bade tlie widow good afternoon, und dropped in to call on an ae quaititance. “How came yon to be walking with that woman?” asked my hos tess as soon as I was seated. “I saw .V°u from the window and could hardly believe my eyes,” she said, “Don’t you know that she is not a widow, but a divorcee, and the scandal was in all the papers when she got her divorce? 1 have never met her, but from all 1 hear, she is no friend for you. 1 related my experience to a gen tleman friend later in the day. 41 Don't mind what that last-named woman says,” he replied. She is the most eruel-tongued person in the world. I was in her house once, and 1 vowed I would never go again, as she spoke so unkindly of every one 1 knew.” This is an absolutely truthful ex perience which 1 h^--^•■related, and j s il evil S}ui commentary of the day. on the prevail *'ig I think men are not quite so much given to gossip, perhaps, as women, but they are more fearless in their methods. A man came to a lad} 7 once in a crowded room and warned her against meeting any advances from a woman present; be told her his reasons and showed her his proofs * n black and white. “She could and would only injure }*ou,” lie said, “and therefore avoid her. 1 am \v»l } in need g to face be.” her with my own words She took pains to investigate the man’s statements, and proved them true. This was as foreign to gossip as the seal lot fever sign hung over a door is different from a midnight attack by a highwayman. One warns, the other assaults. The most wholesale gossip I ever heard dealt out to a suffering com munity was in the house of a clergy¬ man, and his wife was the dispenser. I could not but wonder whether by the earnest labor of a life time lie could scatter enough seeds of chari¬ ty from his pulpit to choke out the crop of thistles she was sowing from the hearth-stone. It seems to me it is always easier to speak good than evil. If your friend’s fault annoys you tell him so; but for heaven’s sake keep silent about them in the pres¬ ence ofother people. You will never reform him calling the attention of the world to his errors. What Am 1 To Do? The symptoms of Billiousness are unhappily but too well known, They differ in different individuals to s<wne extent. A Billions man is seldoin a breakfast eater. 'Too fre quently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. Ilis tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time ; if it is not white and furred it is rough*at all events. The digestive system is wholly out of order and Diarrhea or Consti pation may be a symptom or the two may alternate. There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often i headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach.

The material progress of the old •Southern States in all that goes to make a lasting prosperity, is begin mng to attract the attention of all classes. With magnificent natural resources and fine climate the won der is that northern and eastern business men did not long ago try their ortunes in tins favored land, but the passions and sectional feel mgs engendered during the war, to genher with wonderful and umievel oped West, accounts for the delay, Time, and the growth of a National sentiment, however, wrought a change, and now the southern states have entered on an era of real pros perky and development. Millions of dollars of northern capital have been invested in the cheap lands of all these states, besides the other millions which are being placed in railroads and manufaeturs. Arkan aas, with her recently discovered and immense bodies of low grade gold and silver ores; Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, the Carolinas, and Florida; with wonderful forests of yellow pine and other hard woods, coal and iron ; and in fact, all of the southern states, with resources unri¬ valled, cheap land in abundance, and a scattered population kindly disposed to strangers, have entered the high road to prosperity, A northern man, unfamiliar with the facts, is astonished on learning that good farming lands, in a good cli¬ mate, and near railroads can be bought at from one to five dollars per acre, and yet such is the case. The south of to-day occupies the position of the west and the north¬ west of twenty-five years ago, with odds in favor of the south ; for there is civilized people, schools, railroads, good markets, and a genial climate, in which farming is followed the year round. Tho query will naturally arise, why are farming lands in the south so much cheaper now than before the war ? The explanation is simple. In ante helium days the people of the south were strictly an agricul¬ tural people, and had their farms and plantations on the navigable streams where access to markets was easy and these lands are still as val¬ uable in many cases as before; but the advent of railroads has opened up the immense interior country, where lands which were considered absolutely worthless have assumed a value and are sought after by many farmers from the river banks, as of the north, east and west. It is a matter of pride and con¬ gratulation for all patriotic Ameri¬ cans that the time has at last come when there is no section of our com¬ mon country in which any citizen, what ever his creed or opinions, may not peaceably and profitably engage in the pursuit of wealth and happiness.—Ex. They Could Have Been Saved. We can not but notice how many of the citizens of this country, of both sexes, are apparently being taken away before their time. One of Georgia’s most honored sons—her gifted silver-toned orator, not long since fell a victim to frightful maio dy. Gen. Grant was another victim ; and the dispatches from the world across the Atlantic tell us that Germany’s new emperor will very soon follow his honored father. Many others, scores and hundreds, unknown to greatness, but very dear to those around them, are perishing every year from the same scow rage. It is unnecessary to tell you that tliis terrible, repulsive and loathsome disease is—cancer. Can it be cured? Medical skill has ap¬ parently exhausted itself, and the surgeon’s knife has cut in vain to root it out. Seemingly, cancer is incurable Now what is to be done? If you wait until the disease is upon you it is too late. Then why not antici pate the monster and use the pre ventative. in order to avoid this and an innumerable number of other blood troubles, you must keep the blood pure and healthful—and the one great remedy for this is, that King of all blood Furi tiers—“Guinn’s Pioneer Blood Renewer.” It ex tracts the virus from the blood and keeps it in a pure and excellent con dition. Don’t delay until it is too l ate - Gall at the druggists for an I almanac, and you will find that this j celebrated here in medicine has cured, about right i | your own country, every disease emenating from a de praved condition of the blood. A few bottles taken in the spring and fall will be all that you will need. An old adage, but a very good one, that “an ounce of prevent¬ ative is better than a pound of cure” is very applicable here. Ask for “Guinn’s Pioneer Blood Renewer.” The druggists all sell it -*•« It is being talked among our exchanges that the chancellorship of our State University will proba b!y be tcndorc d to Dr - Joscph Lc - Conte, who held , , a professorship in j that institution, many yeans ago.

OUR YOUNG MEN. 1 ““ South. “ ~ W "“ Nashville American. if we can atop our young men, as they come up, from going away to hunt business, it will be a < 7 reat blessing to Tennessee. The smith west and the northwest are full of me „ who iefl Tennessee seeking a home more congenial than the land of their birth. The lack of life and enterprise was the cause. The state has suffered greatly bv it making They left at a tj me when we were no .effort develop “ to the country For fifty years—though we were on a higher plane—we made no more effort at industrial advancement than the Mexicans who have been plowing with a forked stick for ceti turics. W r e neglect our farming lands, we tailed to improve our water power, we walked over the finest coal fields in the world and didn't know they were valuable. Iron 01*0 was only known because it was in the way of the plow. We sent our cotton to England and sold it for pennies and bought it back with dollars. With the finest grain and meat country in the world we bought our corn and bacon in the West. We encouraged in a nufacturing, but it was the man¬ ufacturing of New England. We prided ourselves on our southland. We maintained our dignity and re¬ spectability, lic however, and our pub¬ men were among the most elo¬ quent in tho land. If a talented 3 7 oung man wanted to go into poli¬ ties he remained here; but if he wanted to go into business he went to hunt it where it was. The way to stop this is to go into business ourselves, build up our pri¬ vate schools, put our public schools on a good basis, establish schools of technology, build cotton factories and manufacture a largo part of the cotton ufacture we raise,raise sheep and man¬ the wool, open our coal fields and convert our beds of iron ore into pig iron, then work it up rails, nails and bar iron; establish foundries and make our castings— in fact make this a great agricultural and manufacturing country, and, in short, make the country so attrac¬ tive and full of life that, instead of young men leaving the state, we will invite the enterprising young men of the north to us. Worth Knowing. Mr. W. A. Morgan, merchant Lake City, Fla., was taken with a severe Cold, attended with a dis¬ tressing Cough and running into Consumption in its first stages, lie tried many so-called popular Cough remedios and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King’s New Dis¬ covery for Consumption and found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease. No other remedy can show so grand a record of cures, as Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption Guaranteed to do just what is claimedfor it. Augusta’s National Exposition. Augusta now promises to give the people the largest exposition ever held in the south. This exposition, if successfully carried out, as there is reason to believe it will be, will give Georgia another long push forward in the path of progress. Good results must and will obtain from such enterprises. Of the ex¬ position the Augusta Chronicle says : “Never did the magnitude of any undertaking present itself at so early a period as does Augusta’s grand national exposition, which in the wise judgment of the directors will be run six weeks instead of four, as originally designed. Its scope and importance become so wide that they found this national exposition could not accomplish, in the short space allotted for its continuance, all the features that hail been laid out for that period, and it is asserted now that there will not. be a day during the holding of this exposi tion that the city of Augusta will not be filled with visitors from all sections of this land.
