THE WATER LILY.
The little village of Clielston, in tho
county of Hertford, might have beeh
termed with Goldsmith's “Sweet Au
burn” the “loveliest of the plain,”
“ Where smiling spring it's earliest vir.it paid,
And parting summer's lingering bloom*delayed.”
And on this bright summer’s morning
on which our story opens it appeared
more lovely than ever, with the rich
foliage swaying beneath the clear blue
sky. the broad green meadows, and tho
grazing cattle, while the gurgle of a
brooklet mingled its music with tho
caroling of birds.
Half-hidden amid a shady clump of
trees a young artist sat painting at a
small, light easel, and the. faint outlines
of distant hills and scattered hamlets
were already standing out from the can
vas iu front of him.
He was apparently but little over
thirty years of age, and his face looked
grave and stern for one so young, and
boro unaccountable traces of some long
hidden sorrow.
He had for some time been sitting ab
sorbed in his work, almost unconscious
of anything around him save the fair
sketch of landscape lie was so faithfully
delineating.
The brooklet ran by him—not twenty
yards from where he was seated—and
the dappled cows lay chewing their
cuds upon its banks, or quenching their
thirst in its crystal waters, reminding
one of Sidney Cooper’s most perfect
pictures of cattle.
Ernest Darrell’s attention was, how
ever, suddenly arrested by a new object,
and one which to his gaze was fairer
than any lie had seen that morning. A
little' girl, scarcely seven years of age,
was standing near the brook—she had
been gathering water-lilies, and in her
hand she held a basket containing a
number of the pure white flowers. His
eyes fell upon her face, lifted wistfully
to his own, and then something like a
smile broke over the little one’s mouth
as she said, half shyly:
“Do come and reach me this beauty,
d you please.”
Ernest Darrell was hardly sure at first
whether it was really himself she was
addressing; but no sooner was he aware
of the fact than he laid down his palette
and brushes and came forward to her
assistance.
“A water-lily, is it?” he asked, glanc
ing at her basket.
“Yes, such a beauty, but so far out of
my reach,” she repeated, and then stood
eagerly watching Ernest, who stretching
himself full length upon the bank suc
ceeded with his long arm in grasping
the coveted flower.
The child’s delight was unbounded,
the sight of which amply rewarded him
for his trouble; but the unusual beauty
of her face and the air of childlike grace
which accompanied her every movement
completely won Ernest’s heart, and he
was determined not to let her run away
just yet.
“You must give me a kiss as pavmeut
for it,” he said, with a smile, lightly
passing his hand over her golden head
from which her hat had fallen. She
started back, with a vivid blush.
“Oh, no, indeed; I am a great deal
too old to kiss you,” she exclaimed.
“Why, I am seven, and quite a young
lady.”
“Are you, really? Then I am sure I
beg your pardon,” said Ernest, hardly
able to repress a laugh. “But at any
rate you will tell me your name?” he
added.
“Oh, yes; my name is Lilian, but I
am nearly always called Lily,” replied
the little girl, with an air of consequence.
"Lilian—-nothing else?” asked Ernest.
“No; only that, ’’ she answered.
Surnames are generally superfluous
with children.
"Then. I pressmne, the fact of your
being a lily yourself makes you fond of
the flowers that bear your name,” he
rejoined, smiling.
She laughed—a soft, silvery, happy
laugh, that fell like music upon the
young artist’s ear.
“Oh, I don’t know: I think I love all
flowers, but especially these,” she said,
glancing down at her basket. “They are
so large and pure and white, like the
white-robed angels in the stained glass
windows at church. Mamma loves them
too, because she says when I am not with
her they remind her of me.”
“You are mamma’s pet, then and pa
pa’s, too, I suspect, for the matter of
ttiat,” replied Ernest, his interrupted
ooeupation totally forgotten in the new
BELLTON, BANKS COUNTY, GA„ JUNE 30, 1881.
[ pleasure he felt in conversing with the
: child.
“I haven’t a papa,” she said, droppipg
her voice; “he died, oh, long before I
i can remember, bnt I never ask about
him, because it always makes mamma
cry. Would you tell me the time,
please ?”
Ernest glanced at bis watch. “Nearly
1 o’clock,” he told her.
“Then I must bid you good-bye,” she
said, “or I shall be late home.” And
setting down her basket she bethought
herself of the hat, whieii she proceeded
to adjust on the top of her golden
curls.
“Do yon come here every day ?” she
asked of Ernest.
“I shall be here every day for a little
while,” he answered her.
"Tnen I hope I will see yon again,
she said artlessly. “And thank you so"
very much for‘getting me the ‘ water*,
lily.”
For a moment her littlenngloved hand
rested on his own, her lips parted in an
other smile and then she was gone, has
tening away with all possible speed across
tho sunny fields, bearing her sweet bur
den of flowers—types of her own pure
soul.
Ernest Darrell stood gazing after her.
Was it the touch of her light Angers that
had brought so strange a thrill to his
heart ? Ho sat down to resume his paint
ing but even that had lost its wonted
charm—he was restless, and his thoughts
wandered back to what might have been
some years ago, when he married a girl
who loved him only for his father’s
wealth, and who (when the securities
failed in which old Mr. Darrell had in
vested tho whole of bis money, and he
was a ruined mau, his son’s prospaats
also) left him—his six months’ bride—
leaving behind hor a cooly wordod-note,
intimating that she could share poverty
with no one, and that he need not seek
her, as she never intended to return.
And he never had sought her; but the
love ho had borne her was as warm in
his heart now as it had been on tho day
they were married. And as ho sat at
his easel there, in the field whore little
Lilian had loft him, he wept for the
memory of her who, in thoso days, bad
not been worthy one throb of his noble
heart.
Several days elapsed before he saw tho
little girl again, but during that time
I she was hardly once absent from his
thoughts. He had lived such a lonely
life since bis father died (broken down
by the trouble that had come upon him
in the loss of his wealth,) and, with
nothing to care for in tho world but the
art he was wedded to, the child had
oome across his path like a ray of sun
shine in the darkness. But one day, as
; he was returning home, she came danc
ing toward him, and seizing his hand as
if their acquaintance had been of years
instead of days, she immediately began
an animated conversation, such ns only
children can begin on the spur of a mo
ment.
Ernest was certainly amused, if not
interested; but as their way along led
them past the brook where they had
met before, Lily broke away from liim
and ran eagerly toward it. She looked
back once or twice to laugh at Ernest,
and in doing so tripped over a stone
hidden in the grass and fell forward into
tho water.
A cry burst from her lips, but imme
diately Ernest came to the rescue, and
ere she became totally submerged, had
succeeded iu drawing her out upon the
bank.
Wet clothes and a severe fright was
all the harm tho child had sustained;
and as Ernest proceeded to wrap round
her a thick plaid shawl, which he gen
erally carried with him to protect his
feet from dump grass, she began to
laugh at her little adventure.
“I have gathered my water lily now,”
said tho young artist, smiling; “and I
would not exchange it for all the others
in creation.”
He took her, entirely enveloped in the
warm shawl, up in his strong arms and
continued his walk, now in tho direction
of Lilian’s home.
“I am so sorry—marnraa will bo out,”
she said, lifting her beautiful eyes to his
face. “She would so liked to have
thanked you herself. But do you know
• which way to go?”
| “I want you to direct me, Lily,” he
said.
The distance was short, as he sup
posed; and as they reached the gate of
a pretty villa residence, which had often
attracted Ernest’s attention before by its
quaint picturesqueness. Lilian informed
him that this was “her home. ”
“I thank you so very much,” said the
| child, as she stood onoe more upon the
ground and rang the bell. “I wish
mamma could thank you herself—l don’t
know how to.”
“Yon need not thank me at all, dear
child,” Ernest Darrell assured her, .with
the old shade of sorrow darkening his
face. “I only hope the consequences
of what has happened may not be
serious. ” He remained with her until a
middle-aged woman, whom Lilian called
“nurse,” came forward to claim her
young charge; and then, after giving a
brief explanation of the whole affair,
he bade Lily good-bye and walked on.
About a week subsequent to this event,
I Ernest Darrell happened to be passing
the house where little Lilian dwelt, when
he heard her voice calling after him
down the sunny road:
"Come back—Oh, please come back fl’
she was saying, in breathless eagerness;
| “mamma does want to see yon so much,
and thank you for saving me when I fell
in the brook.”
And Ernest felt his hand grasped in
the child’s, and almost before lie was
aware of it, she had led him through the
gates and up the steps to the portico.
I Then across t>hs wide hall she dragged
' Mm. Izurrhiu® and chattins osilv the
waw, aato a MBArioasiy rarmsaec rows,
where her mother sat.
A beautiful woman, with dark hair
and Oriental eyes, rose from an ottoman
at their entrance and came toward them.
At least, she came half way, and then
f<lftered back, with a deathly pallor
overspreading her oouuteuauco; while
he—Ernest—-dropped Lilian’s hand and
stood gazing at that agonized face.
“Marian—my wife!”
“Ernest! OJa, is it possible that we
meet at last?”
There was a dreadful silence, during
which, at a sign from her mother, Lilian
fled, and those two were alone—after
seven long years.
The stern, grave face of Ernest Dar
rell was sterner aud graver still—even
Li’.’an might have shrunk from it then
—and Marian, the woman who had
blighted hfs life, fell at his feet.
“Oh! Earnest, my husband —my
much-wronged husband —forgive me!”
she cried. “I have suffered deeply—
ever since that day I left you. ”
“Suffered!” repeated Ernest, in cold,
rigid tones. “Have you ever thought
of what I have suffered?”
“Yes, yes; ten thousand times,” re
plied Lilian's mother, in a voice well
nigl, choked with emotion. “But mine
has been the nndyiqg worm of an accus
ing conscience. Oh, Ernest, I have
bees justly punished for iny wickedness.
I never knew how dearly I loved you
nnti I bad lost you—until I had sacri
ficeL that which I would have given the
best years of my life to bring back. Re
metiber what I Jiad always been—a
spoked, petted child, with never a wish
ungiatifled, and it seemed so hard to face
powrty—even with you. 1 was very
youtg—only seventeen, remember, Er
nest—and all through the dim vista of
years that lay before me I saw nothing
but want, penury and deprivation. I
fled in a moment of madness, delirium—
anything you like to call it—leaving be
hind mo that cold note, in which
I bade you never seek me. I
did not go home, for my parents
would have immediately have com
municated with you. 1 went to an
uucie, who loved me only too well—sin
ful wretch that I was—aud I told him a
lie, that you had deceived mo, and that
I married a beggar whom I believed to
have been rich. Ho was a bachelor,
and lived a secluded life, away from all
relatives and friends. I think I was the
onl“-<-»oatu;-c he loved on earth, aud we
two lived alone. At his house my little
child was born, and it was then that I
began to think and long for you. I
wrote and told my parents—ns soon as
I was able—of what I had done, and
hade them to seek you, and bring you
back home. They wrote, I know, but
never received any answer; and so I
thought you had treated me a, I de
served, and faad resolved to forget me for
ever. When Lilian was three years old
my uncle died, leaving mo his hoiresrf,
and I took this house, iu which I have
lived ever since, alone—quite alone,
with my cliild. Oh, Ernest, how I have
longed for you, and prayed to heaven
to send you back to me? I have seen
your name in tho newspapers sometimes,
and I know that as an artist you have
risen to fame. And now, Ernest, for
our child’s sake, forgive me—take me
back, and try to think of me as leniently
as possible. I know that you can never
love me again. I don’t expect you to;
but—,”
“Indeed, Marian, you are wrong; I
have never ceased to love you,” inteij
rupted Ernest’s cold, stern voice. “I
have been as truly your husband in
heart, all through £hese bitter years, as
if we had never parted. I have wept for
you aud have prayed foj you too, over
and over again. But—”
“But you cannot, take me back. No,
no!” exclaimed Marian weeping. “I
was wrong to ask it; only I thought for
Lily’s sake—”
“And, for Lily’s sake, I will,” said
Ernest. “I love my child too well to
part with her now. Rise, Marian, nry
wife—my well-beloved—the past shall
bo forgotten; blotted out as though it
had never been, and we will begin our
marriage life again.”
“I am not worthy. Oh, Ernest, I
have never deserved such love aS this!”
said Marian, as she was clasped in her
husband’s embrace.
“You shall make yourself deserving;
it is all in your hands now, remember,”
he laid, with grave tenderness, and
looking into the depths of her beautiful
eyes.
How long they remained thus, in
happy silence, they might never have
known had not a little hand, the touch
of whose fingers Ernest Darrell had felt
before, been placed within his own.
He looked down and met the upturned
gaze o( his child. In a moment she
also was gathered to his arms, while
blessings fell upon her fair young head.
And as she had fallen like a sunbeam
across his path in the beginning, so did
she continue to the end; and through the
happy years long afterward he could
only look back, with joy and thankful
ness unspeakable, to the day on which
he had met her by the side of the brook,
carrying her basket of water-lilies.
Lime-Preserved Wood.
Lime has been found successful as a
wood-preserver. The method, which is
French, consists in piling the planks in
a large tank, than covering them with
quicklime and slaking them with water.
The timber requires about a week to be
thoroughly impregnated with the lime
water before it is taken out of pickle
and slowly dried. The entrance of the
mineral particles into the grain also ren
der* the wood harder and denser than
before. Beech wood, for example, be
comes like oak, and, without losing the
elasticity that fits it for tool-handles, is
far more durable than oak.
Something About Fans.
Kan Bi was the first lady who carried
a fan. She lived in ages which are past,
and, for tho most part, forgotten, and
she was the daughter of a Chinese man
darin. Who ever saw a mandarin, even
on a tea-chest, without his fan? In
China and Japan to thia day every one
has a fan, and there are fans of all sorts
for everybody. The Japanese waves his
fun nt you when he meets you, byway
of greeting, and the beggar who solicits
for alms has the exceedingly small coin
“ made on purpose ” for charity present
ed to him on the tip of the fan.
In ancient times, among the Greeks
and Romans, fans seem to have been
enormous ; they were generally made of
feathers, and carried by slaves over tho
heads of their masters and misstresses,
to protect them from the sun, or waved
about before them to stir the air.
Catherine de Medicis carried the first
folding fan ever seen in France; and, in
the time of Louie XIV., the fan was a
gorgeous thing, often covered with jew
els, and worth a small fortune. In En
gland they were the fashion in the time
of Henry VIII. All his many wives
carried them. A fan set in diamonds
was once given to Queen Elizabeth upon
New Year’s day.
The Mexican feather fans which Cor
tez had from Montezuma were marvels
of beauty, and in Spain a large black
fan is the favorite. It is said that tho
use of the fan ia as carefully taught in
that country as any other branch of
education, and that, by a well-known
code of signals, a Spanish lady can carry
on a long conversation with any one, es
pecially an admirer.
The Japanese criminal of rank is po
litely executed by moans of a fan. On
being sentenced to death he is presented
with a fan, which he must receive with
a low bow, and, as he bows, presto I the
executioner draws his sword and cuts
bis head off. In fact there is a fan for
every occasion in Japan.— Harper’s
Young Folks.
Apropos of the great fire in Paris a
correspondent offers the following ad
vice: “In disasters of this kind one
should proceed with the strictest order
and method. Accordingly, one will
first of all save the children, who are the
future; the women, who are the present;
tho old men, who are experience; then
tho furniture; and, if there is time, the
collateral relations and the mothers-in
law.”
As the hot days of summer draw near
people arc debating the question,
“Where s.iall J go for a trip?” It has
laien fashionable for a year or two to
visit the Northern lakes and mountains.
These resorts are very pleasant in hot
weather, but they have serious draw-,
backs. First, it is very expensive get
ting there and then back again. Then
it is still more costly to remain, as one
should, until after Southern frosts; for
if one returns home during the malarial
season he is much more liable to suffer
the effects of the poison than he would
have been had he remained South all
summer. Then their distance from bus
iness and other connexions is an objec
tion. All these can be avoided and more
than equal benefit secured by the ex
penditure of less than half the time,
money and trouble of preparation nec
essary for a Northern trip. We have
within easy reach a resort whose claims
have been before the public fifty yeans
and never been rivalled or disputed. In
all that ministers to health or pleasure
it is the peer of any place in the United
States, and its charges are very reasona
ble. Railroads give its visitors ex .ur
sion rates. We refer to Bailey Springs,
Alabama, Ellis & Co., proprietors. In
addition to its merits as a pleasure re
sort, its power to cure all diseases of
debility, poverty of the blood, nervous
exhaustion, dropsy, scrofula, dyspepsia,
and especially diseases of the kidneys or
bladder, is truly wonderful. Write to
them before making other arrangements.
A postal card only costs a cent
A woman may talk “ women’s rights,”

of thing, but when her face lights up at
the sight of a baby and she calls it a

“infant,” you may bet fifteen cents that
that woman’s heart is in the right place
and that she will como out nil right in

Prejudice Kills.
“Eleven years our daughter suffered
on a bed of misery under the cure of
several of the best (and some of the
worst) physicians, who gave her disease
various names but no relief, and now
she is restored to us in good health by as
simple a remedy as Hop Bitters, that we
had poohed at for two years, before
using it. We earnestly hope and pray
that no one else will let their sick suffer
as we did, on account ot prejudice
against so good a medicine as Hop Bit
ers.” —The Parents.—Telegram.

Self Control.
In some people passion and emotion
are never checked, but allowed to burst
out in a blaze whenever they come.
Others suppress them by main force,
and preserve a callous exterior when
there are raging fires within. Others
are never excited over anything. Some
govern themselves on some subjects,
but not on others. Very much can lie
done by culture to give the will control
over the felings. One of the very best
means of culture is the persistent with
drawing of the mind from the subject
which produces the emotion, and con
centrating it elsewhere. The man or
woman who persistently permits the
mind to dwell on disagreeable themes
only spites him or herself. Children, of
course, have less self control, and so par
ents and teachers must help them to
turn their attention from that which ex
cites them to something else; but
adults, when they act like diildren,
ought to be ashamed of themselves. The
value of self control as a hygienic agent
is very great. It prevents the great
waste of vitality in feeling, emotion
and passion. It helps to give* one a
mastery over pain and distress, rather
than it a mastery over us.
STARTING IN TUR WORT.D.
Many an unwise parent labors hard
and lives sparingly all his life for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in this world, as it is
called. Setting a young man afloat with
money left by his relatives is like tying
bladders under the arms of one who can

Antidote for Snnke Bites.
Under the common name of “ Guaco ”
many plants are known, belonging to
different natural’families, which have a
reputation for curing snake bites. In a
recent number of tho J'harinaceutlopl
Journal particular attention is drawn to
one of these guaco-yieldiug plants, tho
Mikania guaco, a composite plant of
South America. The paper referred to
is the substance of a letter received at
the Royal Garden, Kew, from a corre
spondent at La Snlada, New Granada, in
which the writer gives his personal testi
mony as to the value of the remedy, and
says that it forms tho basis of all the
preparations of tho snake bite doctors of
the district. Notwithstanding that there
are several species of snakes in tho coun
try whose bite is considered mortal,
some killing iu a very few hours, it is
asserted by the writer of the letter, who
has resided in snake-infested regions for
many years, that, properly and promptly
administered, tho guaco is a sure cure
for the bite of the most venomous. An
infusion or tincture of the leaves is used,
internally, and hot poultices of the
bruised leaves and stem are applied ex
ternally. — Nature.
Haunted Me.
A workingman says : “Debt, poverty
and suffering haunted me for years,
caused by a sick family and large bills
for doctoring, which did no good. I
was completely discouraged, until one
year ago, by tlie advice of my pastor, I
procured Hop Bitters and commenced
their use, and iu one month we were all
well, and none of us have been sick a
day since ; and I want to say to all poor
men, you can keep your families well a
year with Hop Bitters for less than one

Shp, was a young lady fresh from
boarding school, and she went into the
laundry to learn how to iron shirts. She
did not succeed very well, and she
said: “Oh, Katy, I shall never be able
to get any polish on this bosom.”
“Sure, miss,” was the answer, “you
want to put a little elbow grease on it. ”
“Please get some for me right away,
Katy,” was the innocent response.
