THE SMART COUNTRY GIRL.
A Story of the JiorUi Georgia Mountain*.
BY W. A POE.
CHAPTER IV.
Tbr-e days and eights of travel in the crowd'd,
shackling, si >w cars of the war time. Thr.;e
days of tiaasit over hill and plain, with fear
tugging at her heart and whispering in her ears
the dreadtul words ‘Too iate; you will be too
late.’
At h.B f she. reaches Richmond; the {rain rushes
into the depot of the confederate capitol. Sol
diers tile cr.t of if; soldiers are all around her;
they look with admiring cariosity at the lovely,
sad-fuced girl iu "ray. One gray-haired old v -t-
er.m has constituted Litnself her protector. He
conducts h» r to the Richmond hospital and asks
in her name'fnr tbe superintendent. Then whilj
see stands trembling with suspense he asks: ‘Is
Captain Henry Crawford an inmate of the hos
pital?’ H >r heart stands still while the sutgeon
examines the ponderous book of entry. A; last he
1 >oks up.
‘Captain Crawford is here, in ward number 2
He is dangerously wounded and has fever; ho
is now delirious.’
•Thank God he is alive! murmured Nancy.
‘Sir, will ycu tak? me to him.’
Be looked at her white face. ‘I am afraid you
ate too much agi ated; you will ex ite the pa
tient and do him injury.’
‘I? O’u, sir! 1 will be very calm. I will not
let my heart beat loudly.’
Ho smiles upon h r compassionately.
•y , u will not deny me Sir,’ she pleaded.
-Please do not send meaway. Take me to him;
I will nurse him as calmly and attentively as
ever one was nursed.’
Tue somewhat austere face of the surgeon-in
charge beamed kindly npcu her.
•You may do him good,’ he said, Svho knows;
he is near the crisis oi his fever. Good nursing
and close watching wi.l do more tor him now
than all the medicine and surgery in the world.
Young lady L will lead you to him.’
He led the way into the large building and
down the long rooms between ro vs of narrow
cr ts, where lay men in all stages of disease and
suit'ring, men with ghastly, bandaged heals
and mutilated bodies, men with tne impress cf
death on their faces, and others raving in fran
tic delirium. Never had the tender soul of the
mountain girl conceived oisueb stjfl.uing. See
grew dea'hly pale, and tottering, involuntarily
cal gh the surg >on’s sleeve. He stopped and
dr. w mr hand through his arm.
‘I ku w you were not lit to s;e this, he said.
‘You had better return. 1
•No, no.’ she whispered, ‘I am a little tired
from mv j inruey. I shall bo strong in a little
while. *L i us go, oh, let us go on !
Ou they went, Nancy breathing a silent prayer
for strength, and feeling her nerves every mo
ment more steady, and determined to face any
thing for the good of her friend. Her eyes ran
ahead, looking anxiously for the lace that was
so well remember d.
Sue s»w it at last. Sue knew it, despite the
wasted outlines, the eye lit with the wild fires
of fever, the 11 ished, sunken cheeks and matted
curls. She clasped her hands over her heart as
if io bid it be still, and stepped quietly to the
side of the patient. G mtly she laid her hand
on his forehead. He turned his eyes upon her
with a dull, unrecognizing gaz <. There was a
vessel of water beside nun; at once she dipped
her hand into it and began to cool his brow with
Then with his skilled, rapid touch he removed
the dressing from tne breast of the patient and
revea.ed a ghastly wound. Nancy could not re
press a lo w exclamation of horror; she hud nev-r
looked on such a wound, it struck terror to her
heart, but tne physician reassured her.
‘It is not so bad,’ he said: ‘if the fever had nni
set in there would have been no danger/
He was pleased to see how well she controlled
herself and how deftly she gave her Sfi££
in dressing the wound. She understood every-
thueg by u look or a word, and the born nurse
was revealed by the q liet yet rapid movements
and the neat, soft touch. He bad become much
interested in tne bravo young Captain, and re-
joic;.d that he had been suddenly provided with
so devoted and intelligent a nurse at the veS
time when he most needed watchful attention
He gave her a few low directions, left in h«r
hand a potion to be administered at stated ir
nourishment that did so much to restore his
'drergt’u and the cnoliug drinks that were so re
freshing to his palate. Oih'u’s indeed held them
to bis lip :, hut her thought and money as well
as her skillful hands, were the agents that furn
ished them. And it was she who kept his cot
upplied with such pure, clean appurtenances,
who placed 11 iwc-m where he could see them aud
scraped lint to dr.ss bis fast healing wound.
Yet she so managed it that not once did be see
her or know of her being near him. At her re
quest, physicians and nurses were silent, and
her devoted ministrations were not suspected
by the rapidly improving patient.
When be was able to sit up, she stayed away
from Lis bedside and only sent daily the fresh
flowers, pleasant drinks, and delightfully pre
pared food, which bo v as nevjr weary of prais
ing. H * suspected some mysterious friend,but
was unable to prevail on bis attendants to tell
him who it was. When be was well enough to
walk about the hospital, Nancy packed her l;i-
tle trunk; said good-bye to her pleasant landla
dy, whose heart she had won, and returned to
her mountain home. Her mother received her
with tears of j iy and the heartiest hugs Nancy had
67er received.
‘Safe and sound in my arms once more.thank
G)d,’ sobbed the old lady, crushing Nancy’s
raveling hat flat as a pan cake as she embraced
her.
The long war is over: the oonqured soldiers
of ihe South have returned to the anxious love i
on> j s at home. Many alas ! return no more.
They sleep on bloody battle fi Ids, by waysides,
and in gloomy camp and hospital grave yards.
•Thank Gel for peace agiir.,’ echoes many a
tried heart, and men strive hard to walk in the
new paths of work and hardship. Up among
the mountains, where spring’s early foot prints
are seen in the violets and wild pinks that bloom
by ihe winding paths. Nancy’s little school
still flourishes and Nancy works with her usual
conscientious faithfulness, and her pupils ap
preciate her labor and love her dearly. S>e
works with a calm brow in these sweet spring
days, fur she has conqured the unrest tbs.t dis
turbed her young life. She has learned to ac
cept what is given and to prizi every pleasure
that blossoms by life’s pathway.
It is Jute in the bright afternoon, school has
closed, Nancy is retuning home accompanied
by one of Imr little scholars T ie birds sing

and blossoms. Nothing then must do but she
must put it iu Nancy’s hair, and N nicy yields
to her wish, sits down on a great mossy rock,
and removes her gingham suubonnet. Down
tumbled half ot the brown, abundant hair, and
the little hair dresser was delighted. She smil
ed to herself as she twined her wreath in and
out among the beautiful tresses, while Nancy
looked away to the sunset and thought of the
days that were no more. Neither noticed a
man’s figure coming round a curve of the path;
neither paid attention to the sound of footsteps
that were deadened on the moss. S iddenly
Nancy s little dog gave a sharp bark, and she
turned and encountered a pair of eye? that were
earnestly watching her. Springing to her feet
she found herself face to face with Hid cry Oaiv-
ford- Holding both her hands in his warm clasp,
he stood for minutes grazing into her beautiful
face. She dropped her eyes under that ardent
look; a burning color dyed her cheeks, her lips
trembled; then vexed with herself for betraying

A Literary Reunion.
Ail Indiana Literary Lady
and Ollier Notables*
BY C H F.
Indiana has her share of literary talent. I met
several of the brightest lights the other evening
at the residence of Mrs E F. Charles (Em’iy
Hawthorn ;-) and will sketch them briefly for toe
readers of the Sunny South as they appeared to
m i a quiet ‘looker-rn in \ nice-
Mrs. Charles is a charming little lady, and so
genial and entertaining is she,that one is always
ot ease iu her presence. Shi is endowed with
an innate wit that renders her conversational
powers excellent; she is a poet of cDsideialile
note Her bright gems of thought have been
scattered far and a ide by the periodical press
and a number have been collected and publisned
in a pretty volume by L pomcott under the
title ‘Hawthorn Bkssoms’. The book lias won
fir M •!?. C fr rids everywhere. Hot is a grao;-
i'ul, cheerful, ark ling writer with only an oc
casional vein o* odness. The ‘Blossoms are

Mv thoughts sire little singing birds,
That ever fly to thee;
If I their carols put in words,
T'is thus I set them free.
If thy heart-thoughts are other birds,
That struggle to be tree,
Unloose their pinions,give them words,
And let them fly to me.
Mrs .Charles has long be ;n the Indianapolis cor-
responde ,t o' the Cuicago Times and the Now
York San;sheis a frequent contributor to the City
press,a strong supporter of the rights of women
to r.n-.er the professions.
The guests were assembled in M*s. C s. draw
ing room,which is beautiful with a poet's taste.
To the right of the front,near windows that over
look the S ate Capi ol groan Is is a case of
choice volumes richly bound; to the left, a
cabinet of rare curiosities and valued relics;
and farther back a Steinway piano. Tue walls
are adorned with works of art, among wuieh I
noticed ‘Saved’ ‘Childhood,’ ‘Beatrice Ceuci,’
whose innocent face is always pleasant to look
upon, a portrait of Mrs. Charles,one of her beau
tiful daughter ‘Myla'and many cabinet photo
graphs of friends with frames entwined with
ivies. 0 i either side the mantle were those ele
gant little statuettes,Night and M truing. _
Of the literary characters present,! begin with
Mr. B. R Sulgrove, who has been an editorial
wri er in Indiana for upwards of thirty years,
and is one among.ii not the most powerful iu cue
State. His memory of facts aud dates is very re
markable, The ‘walking encyclopedia.’ he is
styled from his being authority on a'l subjects.
He is quite egotistical in his ideas, thinks be
knows it all, and does, very nearly; is about
fifty years of age, ot medium height, somewhat
chose with figure q rite rotund, fat, fall-
uioou fice kept close shaven, hair a trifle gray.
Mr. Sulgrove has traveled the world oyer, is ac-
q lain tel with the strong and weak points ol all
the leading politicians, is a splendid talker and
his jelly good nature is very euj yable.
Hon. Horace P. Biddle, chief j istice of Indi
ana, is ‘poet, scholar, j irist, gentleman.’ His
mind seems to me to be juvast turn! ot Hterwry
u musical knowledge. H
limn ‘Elbow Shots’is good medicine for dyspep
sia. Of badinage, burlesque, irony and narra
tive, he is equally master. Last spring, after an
extended trip through M xc>, he used two or
three columns each week, head-lined ‘M j x can
Noies,’which were at once readable and descrip
tive, with a vim of the reverend’s own humor run
ning through them. He is the most, independ
ent and sarcasl ic editor in the country. Of pol
itics he says; ‘The JLruld hasjust received a full
line of politics of all the latest styles and cuts
and can suit everyone: ca'l and examine ’
His paper is an independant Republican sheet.
Mr. H irding is not enthusiastic in conversation.
He sajs lit.Is; is social and generous.
Frank N. Scott, director of the Cicelian Glee
Club, is a water to Ihe city press, of both prose
sketches and poetry. He is the only real analy
tic musical critic in Indiana; is of medium
height, bright, gray eyes, hair and mustache
brown, a pleasing countenance and a ready and
witty conversationalist.
O. the others present, were M •s. Tosbet, a
daughter of the iate G in. Drake,of Mexican War
fame, and her two daughters, Ruth and Olive,
w ho are excellent musicians, having received in
structions of Prof. Allen of the Mendelssohn
Quartette Club, Boston. Miss Oliver,only four
teen yeuro old,is a:i admirable performer on the
violin. Having shown a liking tor that instru
ment when very young, she has been instructed
upon it, and now handles tae bow through the
most difficult pieces, with grace and precision
seldom seen, while M ss E ith accompanies her
at the pi no. Several lesser ligh‘s in literature
and music were present and a pleasant evening
was passed.
A Chat With the Girls of the ‘Sunny
South.’
There is so much ‘good advice’ given to the
girls now-a-days, that I tear they will pass my
article by unread. But what I wish to say is so
entirely different Lorn that 1 usually see, that it
can at least claim the merit of originality. Now,
anyone can find any amount of the best of ad
vice to girls, (all from the opposite sex, I judge,
from the tenor of it) concerning the manage
ment of a cooking stove, making biscuits and
pies, broiling steak, frying chicken, in fact be
seeching them to attain perfection in the art of
cookery. Nor is the sewing department forgot
ten, especially the importance of keeping every
button to its place, and even after this snbj ;et
is exhausted, the poor girls are not allo wed to
rest, but must have a ‘few more last words' ('ike
toe postscript of a woman’s letter, the most im
portant of the whole) to guide them when they
enter that ‘blissful state,’ matrimony. Taen,
the advice strictly enj nns that a smile of wel-
cjine, the warmest corner in winter, tne pleas
antest seat in summer be always ready for the
better-half, and pleaty more like the sample
I ve given yon. But i fear my introduction is
growing iengthy, so 111 ‘proceed’ with my ad
vice, which is founded on a remark made by a
merry, thoughtless girl —she said ‘O, I am go
ing to marry one of these “fast” fellows, they
make such splendid husbands af;er they reform,
and I know I could win mine from his wild w T ays
and make him such a good man.’ S > yon might,
bright eyed, happy maiden, but your eyes would
grow dim with weary watching and tears; your
roses b9 gone and your step be slow and meas
ured ere veur ‘labor of love’ would be accom
plished. Y >u would be willing to close your
eyes and fold you, - hands for the quiet, dream
less sleep, long betoro ‘Finis' could be written
on your task. Now I say, if you think you have

till* Intervals —Raising children by hano is
attended with great difficulty and d inger, even
iiodi-r the most favorable circumstances of pri
vate life, where a ! l attention cm be concentra
ted on a single child; iu hospitals the mortality
among children thus raised, has been truly
frightful, amounting to forty, fif-y, six y and
even eighty and ninety percent, in some insti
tutions.
All mothers then, should be very cautious in
adopting this expedient; and it should not^be
done without medical advice. S md for a phy
sician; give him the whole history of your case;
have him to examine your ca-io tully, and then,
if he decide that jou are laboring under suae
serious constitutional disease that forbids your
nursing, in justice to yourself aud c iihl. you
may attempt to raise by hand, or by hiring a
wet-nurse, which is better.
In o insulting your physician, be sure to tell
him all your present and previous habits, ass
his opinion as to their nature and tendency,
receive them all carefully yourself, study the
laws cf health, impartially consider the effects
of year habits iu the light of your own experi
ence, arid, with the knowledge thus obtained,
you will b-i prepared to perform your du y.
Having decided to raise by hand, the next
thing is the best manner of doing it.
N :xt to the mother's milk, the best food, all
thiDgs considered, is a mix ure of cow s milk
and water, sweetened with sugar. T ie milk
should be good, rich, unskimmed, unboiled and
should, if practicable, be obtained from one cow
ouly; and this cow should be fed on natural,
healthful vegetable diet, and not on distillery
slops and other vile preparations which are^qaite
common in city life, and which are doub less a
prolific cause of disease, both among children
and adults. Tne cow should be allowed tree
exircise, and should not be stabled and stuli-ted
after the fashion too common in cities. The
milk thus obtained should be diluted with one
or two parts of watev to one part of milk, at first,
and sweetened with the best white sugar, put
ting in the latter about a teaspoonful to a half
pint of the mix’ure of milk and water. Double
this quantity of sugar can be used, it there is no
tendency to diarrhm ; but if this supervenes,
the quantity cf sugar should be diminished ;snd
in some cases, it may be well to with-Lold the
suaar entirely, for a time.
How to Give liar Jlilk - The food bav-
iug been prepared accor ling to the direction
above, it should be given moderately or milk
warm by means of a nursing bottle bolding about
the quantity requisite for each feeding. By hav
ing the bottle of the required size, waste will be
avoided without the necessity of pouring the
warm milk back into tbe vessel containing the
milk; and thus wiil the latter be preserved bom
sourness which should be strictly gnarded
against by keeping the day’s supply of milk per
fectly clean, unmix *d with anything c-lse un'il
wanted, and as cool as possible. As a nursing
bottle there is no nothing better than an eight
ounce vial. The mouth of this should bo slop
ped with a roll of cloth, and through this should
pass a goose-quill, the q lantity of milk passing
through the quill being increased or diminished
by having more or less of the cloth ovor the ex
ternal end of the quill. This simple apparatus
answers every purpose, and is fuUy eq lal to
the more'costiy bottles sold in drug stores. In
using this, the stopper cloth should be f equ >nt-
ly changed, the bottle should be well washed
i '—*■ outre time it is used, and in short
least sourness of the milk. If preferred,' an' In-"
