SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA, MAY 2, 1878. LITTLE WHITE LILY. Little white Lily Sat hfti stone. Drooping and waiting, Till the sun shone. Little white Lily, Sunshine has fed; Little white Lily Is lifting her head. Little white Lily Said, “it is good; Little white Lily’s Clothing and food 1 Little white Lily Drcst like a bride 1 Shining with whiteness, And crown'd beside 1” Little white Lily Droopefch in pain, Waiting and waiting For the wet rain. Little white Lily lioldeth her cup 1 Rain is fast falling, And filling it up. Little white Lily Said “good again, When 1 am thirsty To have a nice rain l Now I am stronger, Now I am cool, Heat cannot burn mo. My veins are so full l Little white Lily Smells very sweet, On her head sunshine, Rain at her feet. Thunks to the sunshine l Thanks to the rain ! Little white Lily Is happy again ! BE HAPPY AS YOU CAN. This life is not all Huusjiinc, Nor is it yefc all showors, But storms and calms alternate, As thorns among the ilowers. And while we seek the Otises, The thorns full oft we scan. Still let us, though they wound us, Bo happy as we can. This life has heavy crosses As well as joys to share Aiul griefs and disappointments That you and I must bear. Yet, if misfortune's lava Entombs hope’s dearest plan, Let us, with what is left us, lie happy as we can. The sum of our enjoyment Is made of little things, And oft the broadest rivers Are formed from smallest springs. By treasuring up small waters, The rivers reach their span; Sp wo increaso our pleasure, Enjoying what wo can. There may be burning deserts Through which our feet must go. But there are green oases, Where pleasant palm trees grow. And if we may not follow The pallia our hearts would plan, Lot us make all around us As happy as we can, Perhaps we may not climb with Ambition to its goal. Still, let us answer, “present,” When duty calls the roll !_ And whate’er our appointment, Be nothing less than man, And cheerful in submission, Be happy as we can. The Obstructed Track. Oh a crisp night in October, tire wind rustled the leaves in the woods that sur rounded Viola Vathek’s house. Above the fair girl, who looked out of a small dormitory window, shone countless stars; she might have seen Bootes and Orion had she looked up, but that night the worlds of heaven had no attraction for her. She was listening to a strange sound borne from the west by the nocturnal breeze that chilled her cheek. I might have said, with propriety, a succession of sounds, for it seemed that some persons were cording wood or moving heavy tim bers not far away. Save this noise, tho night was quiet, and she heard without interruption from the window of her boudoir. “I believe it is in Gwynne’s Cut,” she said, at last, to herself. ‘‘Perhaps some villain is obstructing the track for devilish purposes. The Red Bird will soon be due, and this is Ed’s trip down.” Her face grew a trifle paler, as she spoke, aud a moment later she stood be fore the ancient wall sweeper in ono of the lower rooms. The moonbeams stealing in at the win dow, fell upon the face of the dial, and told Viola that it was twelve o’clock. “Twelve!” she murmured. “What! twelve o’clock, and he whistles to me at half past! My heavens! what if the track is obstructed in the cut!’’ With the last word on her lips, she turned and soon left the house. At the gate she paused a moment and listened. The sounds were still to be I heard, and sho believed that they ema nated from a spot in tho out near the cattle-guard- Then she started forward again, and crossed the meadow that lay between her homo and her destination. The stars looked down upon a little ob ject that glittered like silver in Viola’s hand. It was a revolver, and her fingers held it firmly. Once or twice she glanced at it as if to satisfy herself that it was there. Then she looked up again with an air of determination. She was the belle of the country she inhabited. Her father was dead, and, with her widowed mother and a little brother of twelve, she dwelt in the humble house won by the sweat of that father’s brow. A railway station called Beaumont, was the only settlement near, and it was six miles from her home. She seldom went thither, for there was no society there, and she could enjoy herself bettor at homo. The track ef iron was tho making of Beaumont, for the road was new, and towns were sprieging up all along the line. Viola could see the oars from her window, and often had she sat thereuntil the flaming head light of the midnight express had appeared and disappeared. An opening in the woods enabled her to see the light for a moment, and then tho lighted windows of the cars. Did the engineer know that she was watching—that his engine gave two shrill shrieks as it reached the opening— two shrieks that seemed to say, “Violal Violal” She always smiled whon she heard tho sounds, and with the smiles lingering on her face, or a blush, she would listen to the rumbling of tho train as it died away beyond tho cramped boundaries of uncommercial Beaumont. That brace of shrieks, loud and shrill, told her who drove that engine toward the great city on the Mississippi’s bank. They recalled the day, one year sinoc, when the first engine sho had ever seen stopped at Beaumont, scarcely a station then. The engineer was young and handsome, and when he saw her examining the great driving-wheels, and looking with wonder ment upon the mighty beauties of his iron pot, he leaped to the ground. “A pretty piece of machinery, ” he said to her, “and sho goes like a bird.” She blushed when she oaugh* his eye, and the sound of his voice thrilled her. Overcoming her timidity, he helped her into his cosy apartment on the engine, and explained to hor the wondrous mechanism of the beautiful monster. Then he said good-bye, and she saw the train move off, and his hat waving from the engine was the last thing she saw as it darted around the curve. A week later she found herself at the station talking to hint again. Their meet ing seemed purely aceidenal, and no doubt it, was such; but I am sure the meetings that followed it were not. By and Ly Ed Gordon, the engineer, carried a picture over his heart, and on Viola’s bureau lay the photographer’s semblance of his face. Thus the acquaintance at the station, during the Red Bird's trial trip over the new road, had ripened into love, and the two midnight shrieks told her he was safe and driving his engine toward the river metropolis. She sat at her window ofttimes with the lamp on the sill, and often fancied that she could see him leaning from his engine with cyeH fixed to catch a glimpse of her before the train would be swallowed up by the woods again. This life was excitement and joy to Viola; but it was passing away. The time was coming when Kd Gordon would leave the road and accept the superin tendency of the company's car shops in a flourishing city. But let me return to the October night wheu Viola left her home to investigate the sounds that seemed to come from Gwynne’s Cut. She felt that obstructions were being placed upon the track in the dismal place. Of late the company had incurred the hatred of certain persons residing in the vicinity of the station, and orice or twice the track had been tampered with, but fortunately to no serious extent. The night express generally went through the cut with undiminished speed, for no obstruction had been encountered there, though the cattle-guard in the centre would assist the evil-disposed. Viola at last reached the cut in which the mellow moonbeams fell, and paused. Something high and dark obstructed the track before her, at the very spot where the cattle-guard seemed to be, and she held her breath. It was twelve o’clock when she left the house, and her walk had occupied a number of piec’ous minutes. Tho shrieks of the Red Bird would soon ho heard, and a moment thereafter its head-light would flash into the out or gorge. Sho saw moro than a pile of strong ties on the track. She saw the dark figure of a m in moving about the pyramids, as if contemplating his night’s work and spec ulating upon the death and ruin it would cause. She watched until she believed that ono man had accomplished tho dia bolical deed, then she crept forward through the shadow of the Ln lies tint lined the sides of tLe,cut, until she stood within ton feet of him. “I’ll go back to the station now,” sho hoard him say to himself. “I can get there before tho accident, and when it occurs, why I can run up there and sue him under the ruins of his engine, so crushed that that doll-faced girl of his will not recognize him-” A cruel laugh rippled over his lips as ho stepped back from the heap of ties, several of which ha had forced into tho guard, whero they woro wedged like posts of iron. Ho etijoyed liis own words, and viewed the works of his mad hands, “I’ll crush the Red Bird,” he said, turning away, “and put him out of my path forever I” The last words, full of a devil’s triumph, still quivered on his lips, when Viola stepped from the shadows and thrust tho muzzle of her revolver into his face. He started back with a cry of horror and muttered her name. “This is your revenge, Morgan Duke,” said she, looking sternly into his eyes. “Now, obey my commands, or tho re will be a lifeless £ody on the track, to be mingled among the ruins of the night express. To work at oncel Off with your coat, and remove every obstruction your wiqked hands have placed tliorol” Ho looked at her, and a ourse foil from his lips. “The train can’t bo saved now,” he said, and there was joy fn his tones. “It took me ono long hour to obstruct the guard. In twenty minutes, or less per haps, you’ll see tho Red Bird’s head-light up tho cut. ” “Villain!” she cried, “if this track is not clear when I see her head-light, I’ll drive a bulletdhr. ugh your brain I You know what to dol I will wait no longer!” Covered by her revolver ns he was, Morgan Duse, the station-master, dolled his coat and went to work- Viola novev took her eyes from him, and tlie silvery moon that rested over the cut showed his every movement. He was on the pile of ties, hurling them, one bv ono, with the strength of a modern Samson upon the not over-wide grade. He worked for life, for he knew when i he thundering train was due, and a glance at tin; girl on the.track told him that she won and surely kil! him if ho did not do her hi I iing. Once sho said to him, as iie paused for breath before attacking the ties which he had.driven into the cattle-guard: “I never thought this of you, Morgan Duke. When I rejected you, I thought you would bear it like a man." He replied riot, hut glanced at his watch. “Hail past tweivel" lie said. “To work!" was the stern command, and Viola stepped forward and brought the revolver nearer his head. Ho tugged at the tics with great strength, and large drops of perspiration stood out on his forehead. “loan’t move them," he said, at last, turning upon Viola. “i r ou must!” was the reply. "I drove them in with the sledge.” “I did not hear the sound.” “It was deadened with my coat.” The girl's face grew paler than evor, and she glanced fearfully up the cut. “Take them out!" she said, suddenly; “the train is coming! I hear it!” The villainous station-master heard the rumbling, and again turned to the tios. "You have your choice!” Vi da said to him. “A bullet or an unobstructed trackl" Sho watched him as woman never watohed man before. She knew that he was dfiing ali that could be dona to undo his wioked work, and while she watched, her heart grew still beneath the rumble of the express. He’ll soon call me," she said to herself. “Thore! there!” The familiar shrieks cleft tho cool Oc tober air, but they brought no joy to her heart. She was not at the old window beside the light ho loved to hail from his engine. Perhaps she would bo the first to kiss his cold brow beneath tho stars in Gwynne’s Cut. She almost shouted for ! joy wheu she saw the first tie drawn from ! the guard by the desperate man. 1 NUMBER 18. “Quick! the sledge! break the guard!” sho cit'd. “Gods! I never thought, of that!” he said, and the next moment ho was shat tering the long guard with tho hoavy sledge. At last the piece was broken, and ho thrust the other ties down into tho long opening ho had made. At that moment, the train, rounding the ourvo, dashed into the cut, and tho flashing head-light, not twenty feet away, almost blinded the eyes of the twain. Morgan Duko stepped from the traok | and ti ew himself upon the heap of dis ; ordered ties, utterly exhausted. lie saw i triumph in tho girl's eyes, and watched j her a.s the train came on. [ O lor (length to hurl her upon tho track and beneath the wheels of the thun dering train! ller revolver had . ceased to coyer him. but ho could not have lift ed even a child. The train dashed by I Viola saw her lovor’H face for a moment, and an exclama tion of thankfulness welled from her heart. He was safe, and the precious lives that he carried westward had escaped Morgan Duke’s machinations! “You’re a worker, Morgan Duke,” said sho to him, smiling. “Wo will sep arate hero.” He looked at her a moment in silence. “Are you going to tell?” lie asked “Such men as you are dangerous,” she replied. “Then you are going to exposo me?” “I am.” ' He did not reply. They parted forever thore. Morgan Duke was never oaught by the thb officers of the law: but justice afterward over took him. The iron wheels of a railway train crushed him on the Wrack. The company presented Viola a beau tiful house, when her husband took charge of tho car shops. I know she will never forget bar night, in G Wynne’s Cut with her rejected lover. George Shoenberger, a butcher, living a mile from Huntsville, Ala., was shot and instahtly killed at his own pate, at Z'A M., 13th ult. Three negroes were tracked from the spot to the slaughter house of MTft'6 'White, another butcher, aud arrested. They confessed their guilt, hut said that Whito bird hired them to loit. White was comtnitwd to jail. The excif 'i nt was great, and continued to ine. ■. bveninv, Vrlieh* a mob sta r :.i •' 1 ' jail, but 'waa repulsed. A ore ' many tie have been stolen lately :<r< . id tiurii villa, and it in thought that White was tr nrnirtent among the thieves, whi' ■ Bho'enberger is known tohavo been particularly active in ferreting them out. This is supposed to have been tbeinotive that led to the crime. On the f Bth inst., hundreds of mounted men came hito town, and at ones broke open the jail, took out White and two of tho nogrooS, and hung them to the same limb. White died protesting his Innocence, but tho negroes confessed their guilt, and affirmed his. On the 13tH ult., a fire broke out in Clarksville,,‘frann.,’ and \could . not be stopped uutiPall the business part of tho town was consumed. It is thought that the place was’sot' cri fire by tho negroes in | icvenge for Hits' killing of one of their ! cumber by a policeman while attempting . o evade arrest, ami for the lynching of a -egro a few weeks before, for attempting to ravish a young lady. The fire broke out while the coroner’s jury were investi gating his death. Most of the negroes refused to help, and mar.y pf them gave trouble to the whites who were trying to extinguish the firo. Six whites and three blocks were appointed a committee to in vestigato tho killing and the fire. Esti mated loss, $500,000. Doubtless all bur readers remember the suit brought by Theodore Tilton against Itcv. 11. VV. Beecher, for adultery with Mrs. Tilton. A few weeks ago, Mr. and Mrs. Tilton agreed to live together, and now she has acknowledged, in a letter which, by her own request, has been published, that the charge is true. Sho liad previously confessed verbally to five ladies of Plymouth Church, giving all the particulars. Mr. Beocher denies tho charge flatly and explicitly. One of his counsel during the trial says that Mr. Beecher has been frequently applied te for money to aid Mrs. Tilton, with the threat that, if the money was not forth coming, something would turn up. > i A few days ago, a sugar-houso and a gin-house wero burned near Nfcw Iberia, hi. A negro was taken up on suspicion, confessed bis guilt, and was hanged., He admitted that lie set firo to another sugar-house some months ago.
