requisition for rides to picturesque points in
tbe neighborhood. At the house they .sat under
the trees, the old gentleman half dozing in his
chair. Rnthven touching up some sketch, or
reading aloud, while Laurie crocheted or ana
lyzed her latest gathered plants and flowers,
Speranza never made one of the party. She
f< It that one of them at least would regard her
as an intruder, but it happened so that she en
countered Mr. Holly at odd times, and places
during the day and he always contrived to ex
change a few words with her. Sometimes, after
he grew to feeling at home in the farm house, be
would come round to the back porch and help
Spera hull the strawberries or shell the peas for
dinner, or he would join her when she was feed
ing the pigeons, that fluttered around her in a
white and blue cloud. One evening after tea
was over, Laurie, had gone to give her father
his after meal potion, Speranza had tied a check
apron around her pretty light print drees, and
had begun to wash the dishes, but tempted by
the sight of her newly arrived magazine (that
she had been disappointed in getting before)
had drawn it before her, and stood reading,
with cup and towel in hand, but eyes and lips
intent upon the page before her. The scent of
a cigar or the magnetism of a pair of dark eyes
looking at her drew her attention at last, and
looking up, she saw Rnthven Holly leaning in
the low window and looking at her, where he
had paused in his walk among the moonlit
shrubbery.
“Come into the garden Maude.”
he half sang, still looking at her; and then ‘I
have not seen you to-day. No partridge in your
woods is so shy as you are—to me. You are not so
to that young fellow that comes here so often—the
miller’s son. I saw him give you a letter or
something to-day and your face as you leaned
over the paling was radiant.’
‘Oh ! because it was my magazine, and I was
so glad to get it. I was just reading it, and Mr.
Holly, how strange I chanced upon a sentence
exactly like something you said yesterday.'
‘Is that so. Let me see ?’
She brought the book to the window. Glanc
ing at it, he laughed and colored a little and
Spera catching his expression cried with a
lighted face.
‘You wrote it, I know now. Uncle said you
were a wrifer; but—I never dreamed I should
see the one who wrote the sketch as under that
name atd this one is so strange, so lovely how
came you to have such a queer fancy ?’
‘Come out here with me and I will tell you,’
he said, looking into her eyes—a look that made
the lids lower and the color pour into the fair
cheeks. 'Do, it is such beautiful moonlight
and the flower scent is delicious.’
She hesitated, the temptation ivas strong.
Laurie had not come from her father’s room.
She untied the check apron, and ran down the
back steps to find Ruthven standing there, and
have him take her hand and draw it under nis
arm as he led her down the cape jessamine walk
to a group of old orange trees festooned by a
climbing rose vine. They sat there a full hour;
the teacups and the unset breakfast table, for
gotten by little Spera, while she listened to the
low, modulated voice that said so many beauti
ful and pleasant things. Moonlight, fragrance
and an author, an artist to talk to her—to tell
her that he had sketched her face as a study for
the pioture of Undine he was painting; this was
more than she had imagined in her day dreams.
‘Rnthven !’ it was Miss Laurie’s voice calling
from the back porch. Speranza started up.
‘Oh 1 how late it must be, and I have not fixed
the table for breakfast.’
She would have darted away, but Rnthven de
tained her, put her hand through his arm and
walked out with her, meeting Miss Laurie face
to face and coolly telling her he had been per.
suading Spera to be more sociable.
After that, Miss Laurie changed her tactics.
She patronized Spera in the most charming
manner, declared she was a ‘pretty little thing'
and told Ruthven that really the girl was de
serving of much praise for having grown up with
such refined manners among such very common
people; but then this trick of manner was easily
caught by women. She invited Speranza to go
with them in their wood and lake expeditions
and when at home she was inseperable from the
girl and gave Ruthven no more opportunities
for chance tete-a-tetes and encounters with her.
Spera, who was utterly unworldly-wise, accepted
her friendship gratefully, believing it to be in
good faith.
One thing she did not like- and this was Miss
Lanrie's persistence in imagining that Will Far
ley—the miller’s sod, was ler(Spera’s) lover.
If Will had never before had hopes of winning
the good graces of the shy, sweet-faced girl of
Lake Lone, he began to entertain them now, for
Laurie put them into his head. She asked him
to make one of their gypseying parties, she man
aged to throw him and Spera together on all oc
casions, she covered his bashfulness by her tact
and adroitness, and threw out suggestions that
were great helps to the raw and awkward fellow.
All was done, however, so cunningly, that Spera
did not know whether to be vexed, or to think
it only a kindly caprice of Laurie's towards the
youth, while Ruthven thought often that it was
Speranza who was encouraging Will’s visits.
Between Laurie’s devotion to her protege, the
attentions of the now hopeful young miller, and
Spera s numerous domestic duties, he had never
a private word with her now-a-days, and it was
provoking, for she grew lovelier day by day.
The fair, Undine face grew into tenderer beauty,
and the eyes held sweeter and deeper meanings
under the long, curled lashes.
There was a part of Lone Lake where the still
waters were so overspread by the broad leaves of
the water lilly, that it seemed one could walk
on the thick green floor without danger of the
depths below. These had for some days been
getting ready to bloom. The long, smooth
green stems,rooted in the muddy bottom far be
low,had thrust their knob-like buds above their
water, and each day these swelled larger, until
the pearl burst through the emerald and the
Lake was snowed over with water lillies.
One balmy May afternoon our young folks at
Lone Hall rowed out on the lake to gather lilies.
The sun shone warm across the water and Ruth
ven threw off his coat that he might handle the
oars with more ease, He had none of the dandy
in his composition and looked quite as refined
and as manly in his loose gray shooting jacket
and rough servicable clothes he had brought for
country wear, as in broadcloth and fine linen.
And this I take it, is a good test of a gentleman.
They had had an exhileraiing row across the
lake, and returning at the lovely sunset time,
came by the nook which the water lillies starred
over so thickly. Spera was deliciusly happy.
The loveliness of sky and water exhilerated her
like wine, or perhaps it was the presence of the
man she unconsciously loved. Miss Laurie’s lov
er though he was. She did not know her own
heart well enough for this to give ber pain as
yet She only knew there was happiness for
her in the look of those dark eyes, in the touch
of his hand, in the sound of his mellow laugh
and pleasant voice, always so soft when he spoke
to her. She was sitting just a little in front of
him now, wielding one of the oars with the skill
c f much solitary practice and the grace that
comes of strength and health and limbs never
fettered by fashion. Her hat and mantle were
thrown back in the seat in the rear of the little
boat, the breeze wes stirring her sunny hair,
part of which 6trayed over her neck in flossy
curls, ber cheeks were flushed a rose pink, her
eyes shining. How pretty she was! The man
near her thought her the very loveliest thing
he had ever seen. And surely there was a soul
waking up in those Undine eyes. If he could
only see it start suddenly into life—under the
magic of a kiss! Well, truly Tennyson must
have had such a mouth in view when he wrote:
A man might ask no other bii- 9,
Nor any worldly worth than this—
To waste his whole eonl in one kiss
Upon her perfect .ips.’
His eyes said as much as this, plain enough
now and then. Undine did not understand this;
she was not yet awake. One did comprehend
however. The girl who sat in the bow of the
boat, trailing her white hand through the water
and seemingly occupied in watching the glisten
of the jewels on her fiDgers, Yet she sent cov
ert side-glances towards the pair, and she heard
every word they uttered, even when she was
humming Casta Diva and holding her parasol
carefully to shield her eyes from the level rays
of the setting sun. They had stopped the boat
in the midst of the lillies and Spera had pulled
a great handful of them and laid them down by
her while she reached for another—a great
snowy bud half blown.
»You can’t reach it,' Ruthven said, as she failed
in the first attempt.
I can. Don’t you get it for me. I know I
can reach it next time.’
‘I’ll bet you a dezen like it you can’t touch it.’
'And I’ll wager—what ?—that I can.’
Let the stake be a curl—that one just behind
your ear,’ he said low.
‘Done!’
She leaned far over the side of the boat and
stretched her arm and pretty little hand as far
as she could, but the bud rested untouched on
the water. Once more she tried, and nearly lost
her balance. Ruthven caught her arm.
You came near returning to your native ele
ment Undine: You need try no more; your bet
is lost; the curl is mine, I shall proceed to cut
it off with my pen-knife. Lean close and pay
your debt like an honorable lady.’
He spoke in jast, but she took it in earnest.
She leaned near him blushing, and said:
‘Mind you cut only one,’
It was too great a temptation for a man and an
artist—that innocent face so near him. Before
he knew it his arm was round her, his lips
pressed hers—just one thrilling second, then he
turned back to his oar and gave the little boat a
sudden push among the green leaf-islands, at
the same instant darting a quick glance at Lau
rie. She was bending over the water, apparent
ly intent on gathering a lily. Her head turned
partly from them, for with all her selfpossession,
she could not trust her face to be seen by either
of them at this moment. She had seen the kiss;
her jealous suspicions had become a certainty.
At first she was tempted to turn upon them with
withering indignation,to hurl bitter words at the
girl and fierce wrath at the man, who had been
for three years betrothed to her; but she had
much of the catlike in her nature, and she con
quered the strong impulse of hate and sat quite
still.
Ruthven stole a look at Speranza’ Her face
was averted but he saw the crimson stain on one
oval cheek and little ear. Vexed at having
yielded to a passing impulse, and fearing she
would be angry, he leaned over and whispered:
‘Please forgive me; I did not mean to do it.
I couldn’t help it. Let it come under the head
of involuntary actions, for which, you know,
one is not accountable. Think of it so. Look
at me—give me one look to say I am lorgiven.’
There was no answer, and no movement of
the little head, though the muscles in her neck
trembled and he could see ber bosom heave.
One look to say I need not be miserable,
thinking you are angry with me.’
‘When are you going to get home, I would
like to know,’ cried Laurie, leaving c-ff humming
Casta Diva and speaking sharply, for the self-
control she was exerting was becoming intoler
able.
‘It is near our tea-time and I am hungry, and
here we are shilly shallying more than a mile
from home.’
‘Not quite a mile ma chere and I can row there
in a dozen winks of your bright eyes,’ Ruthven
said gaily, for he had had the look he had pleaded
for, and smiling well satisfied, he sent the little
shallop flying across the rippled water.
But when he reached the shore, and offered to
assist Laurie in landing, she sprang out without
taking his proffered hand, and saying to him in
a low voice:
‘After tea I wish to speak to yon alone a few
minntes,’ walked on to the house.
CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK,
How a Tooth Won a Bride.
A California Story.
A young lady, one of the most beautiful and
accomplished belles of Oakland, was thrown
from her horse one day while riding in the
country, and in the fall one of her front teeth
was broken and irretrievably ruined. Her teeth
were remarkable for their symmetery and beauty.
She sought the advice of a dentist with a view
to ascertain whether the loss could not be made
good by transplanting. The dentist informed
her that such a course was practicable, but the
difficulty would be in finding a tooth that was
fit to match the pearly gc ms that adorned her
mouth. A month or two passed without dis
co veiingjanythingjthat would do. At last a young
Spaniard, very seedy in appearance, made his
appearance in the office of the dentist to have
some trifling job done. A sight of the stranger’s
beautiful teeth sent the dentist almost wild with
delight. By cautious questioning he got from
the Spaniard an admission of his poverty and
of his willingness to part with a tooth for $100.
Arrangements were made for surrendering it on
the following day. The lady was brought to the
dentist’s office closely veiled- and concealed in
a back room—one stipulation in the contract be
ing that the Spaniard should not see the lady.
Shortly after the Spaniard arrived, the tooth was
drawn, carefully cleaned and inserted in the
youDg lady’s jaw, where it soon took root.
With the $100 obtained for his incisor the Span
iard made a small venture in stocks, which
proved the foundation of a small fortune. Be
ing a gentleman, refined in manners and well
educated, the best society of Oakland opened
its doors to him. One evening he was modestlly
recounting to a young lady of his acquaintance
some incidents in his own history—among
others the sacrifice of a tooth, and pointed to
the vacant spot in proof of his story. The lady
gave slight scream which betrayed her, and now
it is rumored that a veritable love-match, aris
ing out of the affair, will soon culminate in a
marriage.
Alleged Child Murder in Pennsylvania.—A
dispatch from Wiik6sbarre, Pa., says: ‘Charity
Seiner, a young woman of fashion, a resident of
Wanami, near Wilkesbarre, was arrested Wed
nesday upon the charge of being ) rivy to the
death of her illegitimate child. The corpse was
discovered in a cave hole of a mine, bruised
about its head in several places, and bore marks
of violence upon other portions of its body. A
rope tightly shirred up around the throat, was
also one of the means by which death was pro
duced. Miss Selener was leaving the scene of
her alleged criminality in company with her
father and brother.
An Irishman accosted a gentleman on the
street, late at night, with a request for the time.

of dogs.
One of his friends, who thought of marryiDg
a young lady, went to the artist (who was ac
quainted with her) to obtain some information
upon the important subject of mademoiselle.
Cham’ sang the lady’s praises very loudly,
but the inquirer felt that there was somewhat
of a lack of conviction in it all.
‘See here,’ he finally said, ‘the happiness of
my life perhaps depends on this. Answer mo
candidly—would you give her Fido’s paw in
marriage if she asked it?’
‘Cham shuddered and fled, clutching his be
loved dog to his lo3om.

Knabe’s Pianos in London.
A representative of the celebrated music house of Met-
z ! e r* ( °" of Great Marlborough street. London, has been
visiting Baltimore for the purpose of entering into busi
ness relations with the piano manufaeturing firm of
\Vm. Knabe & Co., with a view of introducing their in
struments to a larger extent into England, Ireland, Scot
land and Wales, where, it seems, theytave been known
for some time. This proposition, coming unsolicited,
was. a gratifying surprise to Knabe & Co., especially as
the inducements offered were very lib.ra', and the prefer
ence shown their firm was a consideration so important
as not to be overlooked. Arrangements of the most sat
isfactory character were entered into, Messrs. Metzler &
Co., becoming Knabe & < o. ‘s agents lor ail of Great Brit

Ladies Memorial Monument, Augusta, 6a.
[From the Augusta Evening News.]
HISTORY
of the
Ladies’ Memorial Association
OF AUGUSTA.
General Description of the
Confederate Monument, etc., etc.
The king and qneen of Denmark, with their
daughter, Thy ra, were going to the opera, when,
in crossing the railroad track, the carriage was
struck by a train, and the occupants narrowly
escaped, with a bad scare. The king would not
allow any of the rail road people to be dis
charged.
During the late war there existed in Augusta
what was known as a “Ladies’ Relief and Hos
pital Association,” whose duty and pleasure it was
to make army clothing and to provide nuises and
nourishment for disabled soldiers in the hospitals
—whs shared i 'fr-vycomforts then procur
able. At the close of the war this society con
tinued its charities to the destitute, attended with
care, and every spring decorated the soldiers’
graves, until it merged into a “Memorial Associa
tion” about 1866, for the purpose cf securing a
fund to erect a monument in the city to the fallen
heroes in the struggle from Richmond county.
The now styled “Ladies’ Memorial Association”
elected for its officers in April, 1866 :
President, Mrs. Doctor John Carter; Vice Pres
ident, Mrs. Doctor H H Steiner; Secretary and
Treasurer, Mrs. John T Miller. On account cf
the depressed condition of the country and the
early demise of both the President and Vice-Pres
ident, the Association made but little progress in
its work for several years, the ladies being enabled
only by private donations, to meet the early ex
penses of caring for the several hundred soldiers’
graves in their midst, and repairing the fast decay
ing wooden headboards.
The ladies, however, having the cause at heart,
effected a reorganization of the Association, in
March, 1873, with the following officers :
President (now Mrs. F E Timberlake), Mrs. M
E Walton; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. John T
Miller; Vice-Presidents, the following ladies : J M
Adams, M A Whitehead, A E Dortic, J J Cohen,
J S Lamar, DeSaussure Ford, II W Hillard, J T
Derry, John M Clark, representing the different
church organizations in the city. The present
officers are:
President, Mrs. F A Timberlake; Secretary and
Treasurer, Mrs. J T Miller; Vice-Presidents, the
following ladies : E M Whitehead, J M Adams,
J J Cohen, Campfield. John M Clark, M A Dan
fort h, W H Barrett, J T May, Brodenberg, D T
Castleberry, M B Moore.
The earnest zeal of these ladies, combined with
the hearty co-operation of the citizens generally,
gave such immediate and astonishing impetus to
the progress of the Association, as to induce it to
assume (in addition to its regular work of raising
memorial shaft) the more pressing duty of ga
thering together the remains of all soldiers buried
in the county, and depositing them in one large
section. This accomplished, the soldiers’ cemet
ery, inclosed by substantial granite copings, and
sodded with green turf, was ornamented by a
large fountain placed in the center, from which
graveled walks bordered with floweiing p’an<s and
shrubs, diverges to the four side entrances.
Hundreds of neat white marble tombstones, with
name, age, regiment and native State of each in
terred soldier are thickly dotted over this green
sward—like pearly gems in emerald setting—giv
ing to the enclosure a mournfully picturesque ap
pearance. Though the work of inclosing and
beautifying the soldiers’ section was attended with
much exDense, it was duly met by this association,
which at once entered upon a series of long, pro
tracted labors, now culminating in a marbM ceno
taph, the crowning joy of the ladies’ efforts, and
a perpetual honor to the brave dead it memorial
izes.
The unabated zeal and success of the association
with the accumulated interest on money loaned,
enabled its officers, early in 1875, to advertise for
designs for soldiers’ monuments. Of the many
drawings sent, the one accepted and purchased as
a model was furnished by Messrs. Van Gunden
& Young, of Philadelphia. The design was pur
chased for $500, and the contract for building
awarded to Mr. T. Markwalter, of Augusta, one of
the best marble workers in the Softth.
The monument is obelisk in shape, and rises
seventy-two feet to the statue at the top. The
base, of Georgia granite, is twenty two feet square,
and is laid upon a raised foundation, increasing
the altitude of the structure to seventy-six feet.
With the exception of this granite forming the
steps, the monament is built of the finest monu
mental marble. At each of the four corners of the
base it is proposed to place iron or stone cannon.
r
On the first section of the monument proper are
inserted four tablets, each bearing an appropriate
inscription.
On the north side :
IN MEMORIAM.
“No nation rose so white and fair,
None fell so pure of crime.”
On the south side:
Worthy
to have lived and known
Our Gratitude;
Worthy
to be hallowed and held
in tender remembrance;
Worthy
the Fadeless Fame which
Confederate Soldiers
won,
Who gave themselves in life
and death for us;
For the Honor of Georgia;
For the Rights of the States;
For the Liberties of the People;
For the sentiments of the South;
For the Principles of the Union ;
As these were handed down to them
By the Fathers of our Common Country.
On the east side :
OUR CONFEDERATE DEAD.
On the west side—
Erected A. D. 1878.
BY THE MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION OF AUGUSTA,
In Honor of
THE MEN OF RICHMOND COUNTY,
Who Died in the
CAUSE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES.
At the top of the first section, twenty feet from
the base, stand in bas-relief, at the corners, the
life-sized statues of Generals R. E. Lee, Stonewall
Jackson, Thomas R. R. Cobb, and W. H. T.
Walker, representing, respectively, the Lost Cause,
the State of Georgia, and Richmond county. The
second section above the statues of the Generals con
tains various Confederate emblems carved upon
two sides, with the two opposite side3 showing the
coat-of-arms of the Confederate States and that of
the State of Georgia. The obelisk rises propor
tionately with tasteful ornamentations from this
section to the cap, where it is surmounted by the
statue of a private Confederate soldier, heroic size,
at rest.
Since its organization in 1868, the Association
has raised $20,934.04. Of the gross receipts, there
have been expended upon the soldiers’ ceme
tery, $2,606.46; far purchase of design, $500; for
building the foundation and corner stone, $1,150.34
and for incidental expenses to October 31, 1878,
$413.86; for building the monument, $14,490; for
building granite steps and coping for iron railing,
$1,185, making the total expenditures up to date,
$20,351.66, and the cost of the monument alone,
as it now stands, $17,S31.34.
These expenditures have all been promptly met
by the Association, and the monument is now paid
for and complete. Mr. Markwalter, the con
tractor, deserves the greatest sredit, and his work-
exhibits no fault or flaw.
A handsome iron railing will be placed around
the outer coping, and give it a better finish.
And now the people of Augusta and the noble
women of the Memorial Association may congrat
ulate themselves upon the successful completion of
a Confederate monument which shall memorialize
the Lost Cause and those who died in its defense,
upon the pay ment of a tribute to the rebel sons of
Auguste and Richmond county, as beautiful as it is
appropriate, and tbey may congratulate themselves
upon unfolding to the eyes of men now and for all
time the vision of a monument as white and fair
in its lofty beauty as it is worthy to commemorate
the pure and hallowed cause of the fallen Confed
eracy.
The Physloligy of the Liver.
The liver is the largest secreting organ in the human
body, and the bile which it secretes is more liable to
vitiation and misdirection from its proper chancels than
any other cf tbe animal fluids. Luckily for the billions
however, there is an unfailing source of relief from com-
piaint, namely, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine
which lor over a quarter of a century has been achieving
thorough cures of the above mentioned ailments ,

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American people are to-day
dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
1 he resnit of tbest diseases upon the masses of intelli
