for bis children. Undoubt
edly, too, her cold, sta
tuesque beauty pleased his artis
tic eye. lie did not guess what
a volcanic temper hid itself un
der that fair, snowy exterior. She
was handsome to-night in pale
blue silk, and a white ermine-
trimmed cloak, for the whole par
ty were going to a fashionable
reception a little later. Quite a
contrast was sne to little Mattie
upstairs—Mattie in a brown wors
ted dress and a crimson hood
falling back from her cnrly brown
head and, her oheeks flashed by
the warmth of the fire as she
went on telling about the mis
chievous Green Fairy of Wild
Glen, while Bay, in listening for
got to shake the popper in which
the corn danced a merry jig.
It was a pretty picture, and so
thought Wilburn Holmes as he
softly opened the door. He had
come up to see what his little
ones were abont and to say good
night to them before he went
away with his jflancee to the recep
tion. Nobody heard the door
open or his soft step on the thick
carpet. Nobody saw him until
Mattie chaDoed to look up and met his eye
fixed upon the group —upon her. All over her
cheeks rushed the bright color as she sprang to
her feet; then it receded leaving th e little oval
face white as a jessamine bud, and it was a trem
bling hand that Mr. Holmes took in his. Oh,
if she could only sink into the earth like the
Green Fairy she had been telling about, for
would not those keen,handsome eyes read in her
faoe that absurd, that mad secret she had only
lately found out on herself?
But how kind his eyes were 1 and his voice
that said:
‘I am glad you came over to see Bay and
Bnthie this Christmas Eve. I know it makes
them happy. They love you so. I wish you
coulu be with them always, but—’
She knew what prevented, and who had sug
gested that she was spoiling the children, and
was too young and giddy to train them properly.
The children were tugging at their father's
hands, begging him to sit down a little. He
should have some pop-corn or even a slice of
Mother Solomon’s mince pie if he would. He
did sit down and took Buthie on his knee and
made Mattie sit close by him on the low ottoman,
while Bay knelt on the rug and held the popper.
Wilburn enjoyed the sweet home-peace of the
moment It suited him far better than the gay
4 hours he had been spending lately. But the
" 'ace was soon to be broken. There was a knock
-in. the door, the handle turned and Miss Stan
ford stood before them, surprise and rage con
tending in her face. Over her shoulder loomed
the sallow, horrified visage of her mama. Miss
Stranford oarried a gorgeously dressed wax doll,
to present whioh to little Buthie in the pres
cnoe of her papa, had been her objoct in coming
up to the nursery.
She dashed poor dolly to the floor with a
foroe that shivered the pink and white head,
and advanced into the room.
‘Pray excuse me tor interrupting. I,am incon
solable at having spoiled such a charming family
tableau,’ she began scornfully, but rage and
jealousy broke through all restraint and point
ing to Mattie, she oried in tones trembling with
passion.
‘Wilburn Holmes how comes that person here?
Did I not tell you she was no fit associate for
your children?’
‘And I told you Irene that you were greatly
mistaken’ he said, rising and placing himself
beside the trembling Mattie.
‘You said so of course. It was to be expected
you would vindicate her. But I tell you now
that if you do not at once order her from the
house and tell her never to put foot in it again,
that all connection between you and me shall
be broken off forever. ’
Mattie, pale as,death, was about to speak, but
Holmes stayed her by a gesture.
•Very well, Irene, he said calmly. ‘I certainly
shall not order Mattie Gwyn from my house.
On the contrary, as the best friend of my child
ren, as she was of their mother, and as a noble
and pure-hearted lady, she shall always be wel
come in this house.'
‘Take her then—marry her; the low beggar,
the servant!‘ screamed Miss Stanford, beside
herself wjth rage; and in spite of the voluble re
monstrances of her more crafty and diplomatic
mother, she flung herself ;out of the room, and
the next moment her carriage .wheels rattled
gk? the frozen street below,
y^^ilburn did not hear her departure; he was
busy trying to soothe Mattie, who was sobbing
out her passionate regret at having been the
cause of this unlooked-for dissension.
‘See her, see her at once, ‘ she cried, ‘tell her
my presence will not vex her any more. I am
going away. Old Mr. Solomon has rented my
house. I am going off, far off. ‘
•You are going to do no such thing,’ he said,
bending over her, ‘and I am not so heart-broken
about this quarrel as you may think. Bather, I
am glad that it happened, for it has shown me in
time that the woman I was about to marry was
no- worthy to be my wife, or the mother of these
children.’
Uncle Eli did not take Mattie home that night
It was the master of the Sycamores who walked
with her under the stars of the frosty Christ
mas eve. When he returned, Buth and Bay
were fast asleep in their warm, white bed,
dreaming of the treasures that Santa Claus
seemed to be piling in grotesque heaps over the
bed at their feet. Wilburn Holmes stood in
the soft half-light looking down at the sweet
faces, till presently Buthie stirred and murmur
ed in her sleep:
‘Don’t go away Mattie; we love you.’
‘She shall not go away; she shall stay with
you always darling,’ was his low comment on
the words of the unconscious dreamer.
And Mattie did not go away. One month af
terward she came back to live at her old home
ss its mistress.
A Bemarkable Brass Band Speech, Delivered at Newnan, Ga., by Hon, Henry Persons.
One night, when the Congressional Convention was in session in Newnan, some ot “the boys” got a Brass Band and serenaded their “distinguished fellow-citizens”
who made up the bulk of the delegates present. Among others serenaded was Captain Henby Persons, who responded in a speech that would not hare done discredit
to Mark Twain. He put his head out of the window, and, as we are informed, spoke in substance aj follows :
“ Fellow-Citizens—I thank you cordially for this serenade. I am proud to be serenaded by a Brass Band. If there is anything in the world that I would like
to play on, it is a Brass Band, and 1 have felt so from my youth, I am from the pine-woods of Talbot couniy, where we never have any Brass Band, and we never
hear any unless we go away from home to hear .t. Caesar had his Brutus, and Charles I. his Cromwell; but Pine Knot District of Talbot county has never had its
Brass Band. If you were to go down there and serenade me and my neighhors at home, with the Brass Band, we’d think the gyascutus had come, and we’d take to the
woods I have but two ambitions in this life. One is to be a Congressman, and the other is to be a Brass Band. And when I go to Washington, I am going to buy
a larg£-3jze, double-back-o»ction Brass-Band, and I want every one of you to come and see me. and you shall play on it. Fellow-citizens, I bid you good-night.”

An antidote to the coughs and colds incident to
this severe climate, can be found in Coussen’s
Compound Honey of Tar. Its undoubted efficacy
warrants us in endeavoring to extend the useful
ness of the greatest Cough Medicine of the age.
Genius, Nature and Science have joined hands in
the production of this invaluable remedy. The
busy bee, who roves from flower to flower, gather
ing his sweet store, contributes golden honey, the
treasure of his industry, while the lofty pine
pours from its bosom a resinous balm. Combin
ing these with other simple materials, selected
fiom the treasury of nature, skillful hands have
prepared Coussen’s Compound Honey of Tar,
which bears the palm as a cure for Coughs, Colds,
Hoarseness, Croup and all diseases of the Throat
and Lungs. Price, 50 cents a bottle. HUNT,

Jews in Congress.
Mr. Edwin Einstein, congressman-elect from
the seventh district, is the second Israelite who
bas been elected to congress from this city, the
first having been Emanuel H. Hart, who served
from 1851 to 1853. The Jewish Times says that
Major Noah was once a member from this city,
but neither in Lanman’s Congressional Record,
nor in Poore’s Congres:6onal Directory, j ust pub
lished, does his name appear. Philadelphia
sent Henry M. Phillips from 1857 to 1861; Bos
ton sent Leopold Morse in 1877 and has just re
elected him. Judah P. Benjamin was United
States senator from Louisiana from 1853 until
1861. These, we believe, are the only Jews who
have served in congress.- Harper's Weekly.
A Correspondent says of the wife of Senator
Brnce: She is a slender, shapely woman. Her
complexion is thoronghly Andalusian. She has
delicate, high-bred features, singularly lull of
of repose, and a manner and a bearing eminent
ly refined, her eyes are large and have the ten
der expiession so specially the peculiarity of
the Moorish women. She is highly educated
and bas many intellectual resources. It is ru
mored that Mrs. Hayes will invite Mrs. Bruce
to receive with her on New Year’s Day.

A Great Shakeperian Combination-
Mr. F. C. Bangs, the talented Roman Actor, who
gained such a reputation at Booth’s Theatre, New
York, has lately been starving in the North, where
in spite of his Southern origin he has won high
enconiums both from press and public. This win
ter Mr. Bangs will come to the South accompanied
by Ford's special selection of Shakesperean artists-
of which the chief luminaries are Mr. Thomas W.
Keene, whose Cassius is a magnificent creatiou of
long trained art, and Miss Henrietta Vaders who
traveled a season ago with Janauscheck and who
in the opinion of many, bids fair to rival her [proto
type. It is true moreover that Miss Vaders is pos
sessed of advantages that nature has denied to
Janauscheck. Her voice is as variable, her figure
finer, and her face far handsomer. Among the other
artists, mention should be made of Miss Booth who
is a South Carolinian, and a grand daughter of the
Elder Booth, Mr. Dowing, of Washington city, Mr.
Paul Bleckley of this city. In fine, it is a fact of
curious and flattering significance that this combi
nation is chiefly composed of Southern people and
the praises which it gathered in Philadelphia can
well be considered as a matter of much sectional
pride in this part of the country. Mr. Bangs will
shortly appear in this city as Mark Autonv in
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

THAT BOY.
Dramatis Personnae—A young American in round
about and leggins, perched upon the fence devour
ing a huge piece of mince pie, and a maiden of five
summers, in pantalettes, looking very wishfully at
the gormand on the fence. Young America—“1 say,
sis, does your mar make miuce pies? If she does
I’ll bet they alnt so good as my mar’s.” Little Miss
(timidly)—‘‘I like mince pie awful well.” Young
America—“Well, now that’s funny ! Just look here
(drawing a quarter of a pie out of his jacket pocket)
and it’s boss, too! Aint my mar good?” (carefully
stowing it away in his pocket). That boy ‘‘is father
to the man” who must have his cigars and any
other masculine luxury his contemptible selfishness
craves, while his poor sickly wife must do the work
of two women (“girls waste more than they earn,”
he says), and for the want of a litle money to pur
chase a few bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion, the sovereign remedy for female diseases and
weaknesses, she is literady dying by inches—and all
because of that masculine selfishness that would
not divide the childish luxury with his p'aymate,
and now tactily refuse his wife the luxury of health.
Littel’i Ltvlnff Age for 1879.—The frequent
issue and well-filled pages of Little's Living Age en
able It to present with a freshness and complete
ness nowhere else attempted, the ablest essays and
reviews, the choicest serial and short stories, the
most interesting sketches of travel and discovery,
the best poetry, and the most valuable biographical,
historical, scientific and political information, from
the entire body of foreign periodical literature, and
from the pens of the foremost writers.
Such authors as Prof. Max Muller, Rt. Hon. W. E.
Gladstone, James Anthony Froude, Prof. Huxley,
Richard A, Proctor, Edward A. Freeman, Prof. Tyn
dall, Dr. W. B. Carpenter, The Duke of Argyll,
Frances Power Cobbe, Miss Muloch, William Black,
Jean Ingelow, Miss Thackeray, Mrs. Oliphant,
Thomas Hardy, Mrs. Alexander, Geo. MacDonald,
Mathews Arnold, W. W. Story, Julia Kavanaugh,
Henry Kingsley, Turguenief, Carlyle, Ruskin Ten
nyson, Browning, and many other leaders in all
branches of literature, science, art and politics, are
represented in its pages.
The Living Age is, in short, the only satisfactorily
complete compendium of the best current litera
ture,—a literature which is now richer than ever
before in the work of the ablest writers upon all
topics of interest. It gives to American readers, at
small expense and in convenient form, what is of
immediate interest or permanent value in this
literature, and is therefore invaluable to all who
would keep abreast with the newest discoveries of
science, the latest phases of thought, and the best
literary work of the day.
An extra offer, made by the pubishers to all new
subscribers for 1879, is worthy of note, viz., to send
them gratis the six numbers of 1878, which contain,
with other valuabie matter, the first parts of “Sir
Gibble," a new serial story of much interest, by
George MacDonald, now appearing in The Living
Age from the author’s advance sheets. Other choice
new serials by distinguished authors are also an
nounced for speedy publication.
The subscription price ofthe magazine (88 a year),
is cheap, considering its weekly issue and its more
than three and a quarter thousand large pages of
reading-matter a year, an amount of reading un
approached by any other periodical; while the pub
lishers make a still cheaper offer, viz.: to send The
Living Age and either one of the American 81
monthlies or weeklies, a year, both postpaid, for
$10.50; thus furnishing to the subscribers at small
cost the cream of both homeand foreign literature.
The remarkable success of The Living Age is well
attested by the fact t hat on the 1st of January it be
gins its One Hundred and Fortieth Volume. It merits
careful attention in making a selection of reading
matter for the new year. In fact, the more numer
ous the periodicals, the more important becomes
such a work ; as no other single periodica! enables
one, as does this, to keep well 'nformed in the best
thought and literature of the time, and fairly
abreast with the work of the most prominent living
writers. Published by Littell & Gay, Boston.
THE NEW YORK SUN FOR 1879.
The Sun will be printed every day during the year to
come. Its purpose and method will be the samp as in the
past: To present all the news in a readable shape, and
to tell the truth though the heavens fall.
The Sun bas been, is, and wifi continne to be inde
pendent of everybody and everything save the Truth
and its own convictions of duty. That is the only policy
which an honest newspaper need have. That is the pol
icy which has won for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship of a wider constituency than was ever enjoyed
by any other American journal.
The Sun is the newspaper of the people. It is not for
the rich man against the poor man. or for the poor man
against the rich man, but it seeks to do equal justice to
all interests in the community. It is not the organ of any
person, class, sect, or party. There need be no mystery
about its lovesand hates. It is lor the honest man against
the rogues every time. It is for the honest Democrat as
against the dishonest Republican, and for the honest
R'-publican as against the dishonest Democrat. It does
not take its cue from the utterances of any politician or
political organization. It gives its support unreservedly
when men or measures are in agreement with the Con
stitution and with the principles upon which this repub
lic was founded for the people. Whenever the Constitu
tion and constitutional principles are violated—as in the
outrageous conspiracy of 1876, by which a man not, elect
ed was placed in the President’s office, where he still re
mains—it speaks out for the right. That is The Sun’s
idea of independence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of rascals,
frauds and humbugs of all sorts and sizeB. It hopes to
deserve that hatred not less in the year 1879 than in 1878,
1877, or any year gone by. The Sun is printed for the
men and women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs oi to day. It has both the disposition and the
ability to afford its readers the promptest, fullest, and
most accurate intelligence of whatever in the wide world
is worth attention. To this«nd the resources belong]'—
to well-estabbshed prosperity will be liberally employ _
The present disjointed condition of parties in this
country, and the uncertainty of the future, lend extraor
dinary significance to the events of the comiDg year. To
present with accuracy and clearness the exset situation
in each of its varying phases, and to expound according
to its well known methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, will be an important part
of The Sun’s work for 1879.
We have the means of making The Sun, as a political,
A literary, and a general newspaper, more entertaining
and mote useful than ever before ; and we mean to apply
them freely.
Our rates of subscription remain unchanged. For the
Daily Sun, a feur-page sheet of twenty-eight columns,
the price by mail, post-paid, is 55 cents * month, or
$6.50 a year; or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-
page sheet of fifty-six columns, the pnee is 65 cents a
month, or 97.50 s year, post-paid.
The Sunday edition of The Sun is also famished sepa
rately at $1,140 cents a year, post-pBid. The Sunday
Sun, in addition to the current news, presents a most
entertaining and instructive body of literary and miscel
laneous M atter, in bulk twice as great and in value not
inferior to that of the best monthly magazine of the day,
at one-tenth of their cost.
The Weekly Sun is especially adapted for those who
do not take a New York daily paper. The news of the
week is fully presented, its market reports are furnished
to the latest moment, and it# agricultural department,
edited with great care and ability, is unsurpassed. The
Weekly Sun is probably read to-day by more farmets
than any other paper published. A choice story, with
other carefully prepared miscellany, appears in each is
sue. The Weekly protects its readers by barring its ad
vertising columns against frauds and humbugs, and furn
ishes more good matter for less money than can be ob
tained from any other source.
Tne price of the Weekly Sun, eight pages, fifty-six col
umns, is $1 a year, postage paid. For Clubs of ten
sending $10 we will send an extra copy free. Address

MR. ROBERT BONNER,
Dear Sir:—My wife haa been afflicted for many years
with diseases peculiar to females, and has been unable
to work a number of years, aud being irregular in her
diet and having no appetite, I am happy to inform you
that your Pad and Plasters have been a complete success,
Her appetite is good- better than it haB been for years,
and her health is nearly restored and she is now walking
about the house—a thing she bas not done for many years,
which I attribute with medicinal propriety, to your Pad
and Ptastera, and I cheetfully recommend them to the
afflicted. Yours truly,

ROBERT BONNER, Esq., Atlanta, Ga.:
I have less confidence in patent medicines than almost
any man ; that there iB some virtue in the •■Hollman’s
Pad," I have no doubt. I was afflicted with Sciatica for
six months, and tried, it seems s thousand remedies,
Hot Springs, Arkansas, among the rest, aud lound no
relief. I tried the Hollman Pad and in tbirty-six hours
I slept very soundly, something I had not done in eix
months, aud I am now entirely recovered- The credit is
due to the “Hollman Pad.” Respectfully.

Dear Sir If my experience with the Hollman Fhd
can induce other invalids to try it 1 shall feel that my
influence is exerted in a good cause. Three weeks ago I
began wearing one—the hectic yielded at once and ap
petite and digestion were established that astonish me.
I have steadily gained in strength and weight. I am con
vinced that every class of sufferers may derive some
benefit from the use of Hollman’s Pad.
Respectfully, Maboabbt I. Nibbxx.
From W. B. Berry, Pres. 1st National
Bank, Newnan, Ga.:
Within a few days after my son began wearing the pad,
from a sallow debilitated condition, he began to regain a
good apyeti'e and fatten, nntil he is now of a clear rosy
complexion and is in as good health as could be desired.
I have no doubt it is from the use of the pad, as all the
skill of good physicians had failed to produce any change.
From a poor Colored Woman :
Mabter Robebt Bonner:—I am but a poor darkey
but nevertheless, I feel disposed to raise my feeble voice
hoping that tome poor afflicted creature may chance to
read and in what the Hollman Pad has done for me. For

that without being benefltted.
About a month since my former mistress urged me to
try the Hellmau Pad. I did so; have worn it a short
time and language cannot express my thanks. I am al
ready better than for 18 years ; able to do my own work
and help my husband. Appetite good, getting fleshy
and strong as ever. O, how thankful I am for the pad I
to you for bringing it into use, and to Miss Genie tot
urging me to try it. Vina Ridley,

ROBERT BONNER,—Dear Sir:—I received the pack
age to-day from you containing what I had sent for. I
assure you my wife has been greatly benefltted by wear
ing the pad, which I cheerfully recommend to my friends,
and leave it to their option to send for one.

Dear Sir:-The Hollman Pad is a complete success.—
The Pad I bought of you has completely cured my little
daughter and restored her to health. For four years
she has been in bad health and often confined to her room
I called in four of the best physicians iD the city and
they all differed in opinion about her disease. She is now
12 years old. In lees than 24 hours after wearing the pad
she became quiet and she slept well. Her appetite was
soon restored and her fever left her and she soon began
to show signs of great improvement and is now perfectly
well, with good color, aud does not complain of pain or
appetite. I am confident that your pads have made the
cure and recommend it to all. Respectfully,
Atlanta, Ga. G. W. DOYLE.
Edgewood, January 2.3, 1878.
MR. BONNER,—Dear Sir The progress I have made
towards recovery since I began with the Pad two weeks
ago, is simply astonishiug, and I should tecommend con
sumptives by all means to try it. I believe the patient
may be helped as I have been, by the abatement of heciio
and the improvement of appetite and digestion.

This is to certify that I have been affected with paraly

my health. I am now living over Mr. Brotherton'B store
on Whitehall street, where I am ready and willing to give
mv testimony to any person. My wife will testily to the
truth of this certificate. Signed,

Holman Liver Pad Comp as y,
Gentlemen This is my seventy first birthday. I can
not let this anniversary pa-s, happy and blessed as I am
with most unusual good health for one who has passed
‘•three score years and ten," without adding my testimo
ny and declaring, for the benefit of others, the great good
I have received from Holman's Liver Pad and Plasters.
For the last thirty years 1 have been an invalid most of
the time. Have had the best physicians in Allopathy and
Homoeopathy to no purpose, except, occasionally, tempo
rary relief. For three years I have been unable to eat a
comfortable or nourishing meal without resorting to
some aid to digestion.
The first of May last. I was much surprised onreceiving
from my friend, Dr. F VV Walsh, then in charge of yonr
Boston "office, a Holman’s Liver Pad and Plaster with
gpecia directions for use. In forty-eight hours from the
time of application, I could sit at my table and eat as
hearty as any of mv iamily, aud feel to discomfiture what
ever therefrom. There are days I feel as well as when 1
was twelve years old. I can walk one or more miles and
not feel the least tired: and I will add that I ascribe all
credit to the pad, as I have taken no medicine of any kind
since applying it. I feel to praise God daily for giving G
W Holman the taler ta and power to make and apply such
wonderful discovery. I believe half of its medicinal
power lies as yet undeveloped. Reepectfaily,
