Apropos of sugar, are we not to have our tea ? You can make it, Ellen, while I get little Willy to sleep.” So Ellen’s little refreshment was served and partaken of in a cheerful spirit, and Ellen packed the remainder of the toast with a glass of jelly and a broiled fowl in a little hand-basket for Esther to take with her. Harvey, seeing the movement, suddenly turned to Esther, saying: “ Your baggage—where is it? How did you bring it ?” “In my hand,” she answered, smiling and pointing to the valise. “I shall not trouble you, like a fashionable young lady, with ‘big box, little box, band-box and bundle.’ ” “Oh! Esther!” said sympathizing Ellen, “ were you not sorry to leave your things?” “ Yes, it w T as something of a trial to part with my books—old and dingy some of them were, but it was like saying good-by to tried friends.” “I jneant your clothes, dear,” corrected Ellen, who, w T ith true feminine feeling, thought the loss of books a trifle compared to that of clothes. “ What will you do?” “ Oh !” said Esther cheerfully, “ I shall do very well. “I have managed to pack two or three changes of under-clothing and my black silk dress in the valise; and I have on a new •walking affair that There was hopeful kind, while Esther softly rocked the pretty baby and Ellen held her husband’s hand, and looked into his face, turning her eyes now and then to the clock, whose hands moved on too swiftly to the hour of parting. Just before it came, Ellen left the room and went out into the little garden, to throw herself on her knees and struggle silently for calmness and strength. Esther laid the baby in his little crib, and going up to her brother, put into his hand a gold miniature case with a small chain attached. “Do you remember it ?” she asked. “It is a picture of yourself, taken just before you went off to college the last time. You gave it to me, and John had it set in this pretty enameled case. I am, that ought to sit in the slough of sweeps ever, in sorrow or in vast ocean of etemitv. and New Orleans. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

To the Brothers and Sisters of Subordinate Lodges, Greeting : It becomes my pleasant duty to inform you of the action of the Grand Lodge, at its recent meet ing at Gainesville, in accepting a proposition from brother J. H. Seals, editor and proprietor of The Sunny South, tendering his most excel lent paper as our official organ. This proposition was in substance as follows: The Good Templars of Georgia to have the use of from two to three columns for strictly temper ance matter. The Grand Lodge, in return, to different lodges, and we cannot cease to congrat ulate ourself upon having had the privilege of ' guarantee to brother Seals two bona fide sub looking in upon them. It did us good to see panorama of hill, and plain, and valley, of quiet farm-house, and yellowing fields and villages, with scattered lights and baying dogs. Harvey still slept.

The Sunny South being your official organ, we must hear from you regularly, and the world must hear from you through its columns. We must know how you prosper; how your mem bers deport themselves; hew your meetings are attended; how many members you have in good With the arrangement with brother Seals, we not only get one of the best literary papers pub lished in the United States at reduced rates— S2.50 each per year where lodges take two cop ies—but we are able to spread the glad tidings of our glorious achievements to one hundred thou sand readers. It is unnecessary for me to say more to convince you of the great advantage to our order from this arrangement. Each lodge will please send in at once the order for the two copies, with the amount of $5.00, to Brother • Samuel C. Robinson, Grand Worthy Secretary.
