But underneath those slaty Melds lies the rich vein of metal, aud in those rough Cornish hearts is a vein of human feefing and Christian charily, far, far pur er than much that passes as such in the fashionable world, where tinkling bells daily summon rich dowagers to church in their gor geous chariots. The children of Trcgoze were tripping lightly to school after their holidays, along the hard slaty paths. It was, indeed, with no “creeping like snail utfWilling ly to school” kind of motion on this occasion, all were full of ex almost of joy for they were to have that day a new mis tress, one whom they all new, one who had, in fact, been one of them s« Ives. Margaret Powhele had been born in Trego ze, where she had attended the school, first as a pu pil, and then as a pupil teacher. Thei.ce she had gone ic t-ie col lege iu London, and a vacancy having occurred, she bad been ap pointed mistress down there in her own native village. Her fatli er had worked there, man and boy, in the Tregoze mine for up ward of forty years, aud he still continued to follow this same oc cupation. The children, t lerefore, all knew Margaret. Their memories of her were pleasant., sad hence they tripped joyously to school, where they&dmirtd their new mis tress, who, iu their eves, was cer tainly as learned as the curate, and almost as wise as the vicat, besides being as’pretty as a prin cess . When they, therefore, returned ho me* at midday, many were the exclamations of “Isn’t she pretty?” “Isn't she nice?” and so on, among the youngs ers ; which ex clamations generally called forth from the old people the remark, “I hope thee wool get vorrard i’ thy laming, ’cause times be veiy hard for us poor volks.” Many others beside the school children were in love with Marga ret, for she had budded into wo manhood sinee she hud left Tre goze and now her beauty had t&k en the young men by surprise. For some time Margaret found it far from agreeable to have so many admirers, but by dint of good management, by the falling off of those who felt that they had no chance, her citcle of adorers narrowed down to two—Joseph Tregear and Tom Polglaze. It’was not loug, however, be fore Margaret htrself madj it known which of them she prefer red, in fact, so far as that goes, neither for a loug time could boast of the smallest favor. Tregear, however, bad thegood sense to see that neither he nor Polglaze was nearly so well edu caied us Margate!, aud he well un jet-stood that it was a had omen when the husband had to look up to the wife iu the matter of learn ing. He accordingly bought books aud became an earnest mid night student Tom Polglaze, however, loved the fair teacher not a whit than his r.val, but he was formed |in a rougher mold He scarcely noticed the change in Trageaf; but if he did net, Margaret Vow hele did, and ahe wan highly grat ified by it. “Joseph,” aaid ahe to hiu* one evening, wbeu he came to aak her to take a walk, “you aeem lmeb changed lately ; you are aa little like a native of Tregoze aa n»y aelf. “In what way, Margaret ?” “You have loat that twang, and you aeem to know aomethiug about the great world. Do you atudy ?” i “Yea; I ait up every night to read or to work mathematica. “Why f What do you want to be? A'clerkf' “Margaret, 1 atudy to be more Lawrenceville. Georgia, Tuesday July 15, 1884 like you; I love you. Will you " 7 here l Joseph Tregear! you study to be like me ? I am sure I never set you the example of talk ing such rubbish! Ah, ah! good bye.” So saying, off she t ripped into the house, to bis intense discomfit ur«. 1 lial evening her parents no tice 1 a chat ge in her, but could not discover the cause. She did no*, talk or take any too , but soon retired to her own little room, complaining of headache. Do I hne him?” she muttered, when aloue “Poor fellow, he studied hard for mv sake. Ah, Joseph, why did l leave you so ab rubtly ? What a giddy worthless thing f ais !” That night »he could not sleep unlil she had decider upon a fu ture course of action. The next day being Saturday, Margate! spent at home iu huusi huld cares, which sh*> shared with her inoiherqbut she scarcely spoke a word all day. Ou Sunday she appeared in church dressed with inoretliauher usual care ; an 1 she may be forgiv en if sue was not quite so atten tive to the sermon as she should have, for there it a distance, sat Joseph Tregear, locking at her with his great blue eyes, making her blush, and inspiring her with the desire of s.liking through the floor. On leaving the por'd), after dis missing her flock, Margaret found Joseph Tregear tm>l Tolu Pol glaze pier ending to rea-1 the in scriptions on the tombs. At the sound of her step Tom raked hi.: head and advanced with a friendly trod, while Joseph re mained still, but fixed those great blue eyes off her. 4 Good morning, Tom, " she said indifferently. “How are you ?’ Polglaze was replying as they neared Tregear. when Margaret stopped. Tregear still held back, item bliug in his hoa»t and apprehen sive’oMtis lfival. Margaret, however, was so ap parently calm tuatne was begin ning to think her heart as hard as her native rocks, when, nodding an adieu to 1 olglaze, she very nat urally aud very quietly put her hand ou Tregear's arm, an 1 said : “I am very sorry I kept you waiting: I cau now only spare you half an hour for a walk ” It was the first time she had ever shown any p'eference, and Polglaze now knew that he, toe, was “out of the race." His face changed to an ashen hue, and he tottered off with de jected looks, hut with clenched fists. Tregear squeezed the small hand that had been so unexpected ly put i)n his arm, aud led Marga ret away for the promised walk, which,it need scarcely be said, was unconsciously lengthened in to au hour. * When Margaret ouc-e more at rived uuder her parent's roof it, was not alone that she came. Hence forth another had also a right to join her there. Tregear knew the price that must he paid for Margaret's love. He knew that Polglaze would uot give her up without a contest. Nor was it long before the bat tle was commenced, foi that very evening, uv Tregear was leaviug -the house of the Powlieles, he was attacked by bis rival. With him it was but a word and a blow, “Joe Tregear, you’ve crossed my steps, and now i’ll be reverg. ed by you !” So saying, Polglaze struck a blow which would have felled an ordinary man. But Tregear was quite a match for him, and the two fought long and desperately, until separated by a rural policeman, who threat ened them with legal proceed ings. Of course Margaret was one of gtbe tirst to hear of the bat lie.— Distressed beyond measure, she went to her lover’s parents, whore she found him in a most untepre senlable condition. A few words soon explained the posiiion of affair*, when Margaret burst into tears, aud blamed her self for showing her piefereuce so stupidly. i DEVOTED TO NEWS, IJTERATDHE AND LOCAL AFFAIRS ‘•Margaret,” replied her lover “do not take it to heart. I d rath er be figbtiug him again than sec your tears. Leave me alone a minute. Let me overcome this." “Yes, dear heart !” said Mrs. Tregear, “Don't you take uti # in this way These tinmen are regu Lr vighters; but thi, Tom Pol glaze is the morlarionseat vighter that ever I zee " “Yes, Margaret, that's true, I knew that the day / gamed your !o»e I should tiud au enemy; But cheer up, cheer up ! I fancy he will not attack uie agaiu in a hurry, for I kuow that he does uot at this moment look a bit Itaudsomer than l do.” Aud so saying, he laughted the matter lightly away, uulii Marga ret, too, begnu to ;utile through her tears. On the following day, when the two rivals went to the mine, tlieir appearance caused many jeering, contemptous remarks, for the tiu men were in hopes of goading them ou to renew the battle. Polglaze had, ho .never, fouud au adversary worthy of his strong arm, and was not so ready to strike the first blow as he had been the night before. He con tented himself, therefore, with doubling his fists and saying that the time of vengence would come. Months passed away ; Tregear recovered irorn his .inwon ted ex citement, and matters took their usual course. The mines were vverked, old seams were used up, aud new veins opened out : but, though the battle bed not been renewed, Joseph Ttegtar and Tom Polglaze hud not yet shaken hands. Tnis caused Margaret no small anxiety, for down there in the bowels of the eartli an unseen blow with ths pick might destroy the happiuess of her life. She often begged Tregear to etve the mints, but he said he had good prospects of being ap pointed engineer's assistant, and as for Tom Polglaze’s threat, why. he hud not the slightest anxiety on accouut of that. Atlength a new shaft was to be opened, aud the two young men being the steadiest hands in the mine, were selected for the opera tion. There they toiled together for a few weeks without exchang ing a word, aud they were alone, far from any other workmen. Margaret was wretched, but to all her supplications Tregear still said that he had no fear. In her distress she spoke to Polglaze and asked him to shake hands with Tregear. he refused, but he press ed his rough hands to his temples and said : “I loved you then. I love you now, as much or more than Joe Tregear. ’ A day or 100 after that both meu were again at work togeilur and silent as death in tleir i-olita ry shaft They were suddenly startled ,i y a falliug stone. A few lumps of earth then came turn bling down, aud the whole shaft seemed to tremble. The works were giving away.— The two meu looked at one auoih- ■ er for a moment, with hlauched faces. It was the first time they had looked into one another's, eye* siuce that fa'al day, except! to dart glances of scorn and hale. They ran to tlm kebbel ano gave 1 Ihe signal to he drawn up. As | ihoy shouted the rope lightened and strained, hut thekebble would not move. As they st >od there the awful thought came t(#tbth in aniustant that oiie of them must die—must die to save the other—his euemy. They ugaiu looked atone another, and there was eternity in the glance. Then one of them let go the rope and dropped out of the keb ble, which immediately began lo rise. The willing martyr was Tom Po,glaze. “Tell Margaret” he shouted, as the kebble rose over his head— ‘•tell Margaret I did it to save her pain—to save you, whom ahe loves 1 forgive you, but be sure and oft good to—” The shaft gave way and nothing presented itself to Tregear * gaze but a mass o! slate and rubbish. Todi Pc%la» was in eternity— as noble a soul as ever died for any cause that is dear to man, as devoted as aay martyr, as gener ous sealed as any patriot, though onfy * poor miner. It was long before Joseph Tre gear and Margaret Powhele reeov ered from that shock. They mourned the brave dead as a brorhfL, ana a neat little stone, overlooking the shurchyard, loug afterward remindeU the tiumeu of Tregoze of .ha noble deed of sJf sat tifice of a hero wko was one of ihern^alves. Rout* Cornier: Mouth Rome eujoytll quite a sensation yester day afternoon, and an innocent little child was at the bottom of it —the well and the sensation.— While ploy tog in i s mother’s yard Yesterday afternooo, a little 2 year old child of Mrs. Goodaon who residww iu South Rome, climbed upou the Well curbing unobserved lost its balance and fe/1 over into the well. The fond mother, near by, heard the frightened cry of despair which burst from the lit tle ones throat at it was dashed down the dark, frightful and abysmal depths She heard the “splasht'' as the little form struck the water forty feet below. The mover’s cries of anguish brought Mr. John Huire and several other neighbors to the spot. * Mr. Haire was .promptly lowered into tne vveH, wlwre he |fouttd the water twelve feet deep, and floating peacefully on its surface was the baby, as sound aud full of life as it had been one hour before.— There the little innocent lay ou the bosom of the waiter, saved from a horrible death through some strange and unaccountable agency. Mr. Hairs wus being haultd <tp with tbe child in his arms, when about ten feet from the bot'om the rope broke aud the two were dashed agaiu to the bot tom, but suetaiued do injuries.— The water failed to support Mr /Zaire as it did the baby, so both of them weut under, tie manag ed to hold on to the side of tbe well until another bucket was lowered, and the two were rescued from their unpleasant and danger u us situation. The most wonder ful part of the whole thing is that the child did not sustain a single injury from the dreadful fall. In the Boar Pita Iu Paris recently t workman fell over the parapet of one ol the bear pits at the Jardin de Plan ters and very nearly became a prey to two huge bears awaiting their afternoon repast. The man lay for a few minutes insensible with a bad wound on hia head, from which there was a copious flow of blood. The spectators for a short time kept the bears em ployed by throwing them endless pieces of bread, but they made so much noise in carrying out their wellmeant stratagem that the ani mills were frightened from this frugal entertainment, and the mule, wandering about iu searah of r«fuge, approached the more palatable food and licked up the blqoj flowing from the prostrate ■sufferer's wound Amid intense excitement the keepers arrived and the fmrti recovered his senses. 1 Seeing his danger however, he lay still, as if dead, while ibe keepers prepared a rope ami distracted the ' bear from iis prey Ly striking it I with long poles. At length the prisoner clutched the rope aud -vug speedily hauled aloft, to the disappointment of the hear, who | displayed much irritation at the withdrawal of so dainty aud am* pin > meal. The rescued individu al, who was badly hurt by his fall was conveyed to the hospital. A youug bride claimed that her husband wus a model man. And he was. His occupation wis niak ing dummies for clothing stores. A mule kickt-d over a can of dy i,anile in the oilcoun'ry the other i day, and for two hundred rods in eveiy direction there wasn’t any thing left but tie mule. I A doctor was going to see one of his patients, lie took his gun wth him to pass away lime. A peasant uiot him on the way, and asked him wneru he was going. •‘To see oue of my patients.” “Aren’t you afraid you’ll miss him ?" To the f*eo|>ie of Ueorgla At a conference held today iu the rooms of the State Depart meut of Agriculture, betweeu U . S. Commissioner De Witt C. Ha con. the Commissioners from the various Cong ressiouai Districts, aud a large number of gentlemen interested in the State s display at New Orleans, it was unanimously resolved that it was the duty of the Commissioners to issue thtfol lowiug address to the people of the State of Georgia: This great world's fair has been projected upou a scale of compre hensiveness never before attempt ed, uot even by the spleudid PL ila delphia Ceuteunial. The Exposi tion company has at its disposal millions of dollars, and the city of New OrleaitH, and the State of Louisiana are stiniug themselves to the very core that this great Southern underUkiitg shall show to the world that the Southern States intend to s op permanently to the front. The amount of available floor space will probably exceed two and a hulf million square feet. The main building will covet, un der one roof, forty acres of ground Besides this, there will be less ex tensive buildings, agricultural, Lor tioultural and art halls, but each gigantic in its own proportions. Then there will be the building for the displays of the diij'orent States, modeled, after the.plan of the main building, aud iu the cep ter ot which wil) be placed the grand Federul govcrmuoul dis play, for which has ap propriated $688,000, in nddiivm to Hm former appropriation of sl, 000,000. The scheme is immense, the money is iu Utp bauds , yf Exposition Company. The mu> cess us the thing is assured, and we must bestir ourselves. The question nqw is, shall thu natural resources of Georgia be shown to the' wdtlß by” tte side of those of her sister States ot shall we allow'this great oppbi - tuoity to pass? Hb V dtf we ex pect to people our Imfnddse sur plus of farming lands, water pow ers surpassed no where, and our important, undevelopment. un known mineral features which dot the Staia from Agusta and Colum bus to ihe Tennessee and Nor h Carolina lines? The time has come when to hold our owl we must move in euoh matters as out sister S ates are moving North Carolina has alreudy received a million dollars in miucrul laud in vestments, the result of $17,000 put into a mineral display at Bos ton last fall. By similar display at Philadelphia, Louisville and Boston, Alabama is building her Birmingham, her Auuistou, her Sheffield, her Leeds. WHAT OTHER STAVES ARE DOING Spurred ou by wbat these States imve already gained, let us see wbut our neighboring Slates are going to do at New Orleans. The Legislatures of South Carolina aud Alabama have each appropria ted SI<UHMi, aud the Commission ers are suceeehful y pushing a plan to raise slo,fioo mote. North Carolina starts in wi ill her hand some cabinets already collected at Raleigh, aud she has an mldition of $60,000 at the disposal of her Commissioner, to be used in mak ing further collections illustrative of her natural advantages. Teas essee has $20,000 with which to illustrate herself; Mississippi, a Legisla ive appropriation of $12,- 600, with an organised board nos raising by subscription SIO,OOO more. Louisiana has a Legisla tive appropriation of $100,000; Virginia, $50,000: Texas, one of 20,000. Not satisfied with this appropriation, the ladies of Texas are pushing various plans to aug ment the amount. The cuiumiss oner reports several ihousaud al ready collected by subscription Florida has paid up already $27,- 000, aud the Dias Urn Laud Com pany h ive headed a subscription with SI,OOO cash and $2,000 hi collections representing South Flotida. We see hero a determin ed effort ou the part of every Southern Stale lo show herself t« the world at New Orleans. Cleor gia has not the appropriation of a dollar, and the question now is, what are we going to do about it? To accomplish the deeded end, money must be raised in some wty Au enterprise of this magui tudo cannot be successfully car rted through to the finmn without subtautial financial aid from some quarter, and the people ot the State must determilm> how this is to be accomplished. It iH neces sary to have stands, mineral cabi nets and fixtures of like characters upon which exhibit the resources of our State We musLsho.w these products to the world iu the most attractive, pleasing aud aitistia manner possible,so as to arresithe attention of every one. The ser vices compelent assistants must be secured to f ake charge of these exhibits, and to explain to visitors the values, uses end purposes of each at tide iu the display. All of this important work cannot be accomplished without a sufficiency of funds to meet the necessary cost. THE ltflHT METHOD. The commissioners, after a thorough discussion as lo the best manner of getting together Georgia’s varied resources, have determined the most satisfactory plan of operation is to put each Congressional disiHct in the State upon its own resources. Funds raised in all the various ways that might be su -gevtud should be used by the District Comm ssioners in their various (Ustritps to secure a geod display flout each. It is uot advisable or fair to use money, subscribed in one to get up lire display in am Ah or. It is believed that every din Irict ttt tho Stute will approve of this plan, bet each make uso of its own funds, aud the displays gathered in this way will bo shUYvn at the (•JGlte Fair ill Macon, outsit liis'riet making an exhibition septaakely. -Artteles of any charaeLr secur ed tor exhibition will bo for Warded to Macon free of “chiego if delivered along the line of tlio 1 untuesi railroad. At die close of the Stale Fair, the displays rupro.i enting the ten disLjctj* iu Gour gia will bo packed up aud shipped : to New Oilcan's, ahd there shown limb* one hunt as the exhibit from the State of Georgia. It will be necessary, in the cube ofgeologioul ami mmerulogiral cabi nets, to place the selection and ar raugetneni in the hands of an .ex pert at the Atlanta headquarters. Spoeicmeus from the vunouseoun lies should be got out in qualities not less ihaj 20-40 pounds, aud made ready shipment here alter snmll samples have been approved at this office They wi/! be analyz ed classed and arangod here prior to packing and shipment to Mu eon, and it is and expected that correspondence relative to these features will be prompt and effective. let all come fohwakd. To secure a full, handsome and creditable display, the result can only be reached through the per sonal energy of every Georgian. The people must lay aside formali ties and come wiib a rush to the assistance of the Commissioners. It must be remembered that we are without funds. We have tip to the present day given a great deal of our time to the work, and will continue to do s?o until theob ject which is soughl to l>e accoru pltshed beyond the possibility of a doubt. Our people are proud of ottr State, and they I ave every reason to be so. Will this pride take a buck seat at th is important time, and allow the grand oppor tunily that is offered us through ihe'Tuediuni of tho World's Indus trial and Cotton Centennial Expo sition io be lost ? We ihink .uot. We know too welt how the inter est of of every Georgian is roused for the prosperity of the State, aud, we are satisfied, all that is necessary is to call the attention of the people to the importance and scope of the work before us." When this is done we feel that more than half has been accom plished. The undertaking now commanding our attention is one in which every resident and well wisher of the State should feel a deep interest. Let us all as cue man combine our energies and shqw to the world that Georgia is in realty, as well as name, the Em pire State of the Sunny South.— It cm >e done if every man will do his part. Concerted action will win at all times, We have ihe will, the enterprise and the | pluck to place Georgia in tLe } front rank <>f the Stales of the Union. With our energy, our va ried resources and the opportuni ty that is afforded us, there is uoth iug to prevent the Slate doing credit to herself and to her people Give us the assistance that, we ask jVol. XIV.—No 16 anti none of us will ever negro* the outlay.
