[Continued From First Page.] 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.” Bobert Bonner’s Trade Mark. 33 North Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga. Having the sole agency for the sale of tVATUBE PROVIDES. 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.

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. WHITE, BLACK, Daniel Jager. A. L. Greitter. 1.

Sole A*’**, PaUtina, IIL All* 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. A HOLIDAY Present that delights and benefits the recipient is Mason’s Music Chart advertised in this issue.

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.

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, JOHN A. WIMBY. Endorsements, Read and be Convinced. 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. Fv. F. MADDOX. Athbks. Ga., Jan. 3d, 1878. 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.

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, Mount Solitude, Ga. Pendleton, S. C., March 3. 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. B. F. BOGYS. 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. M. I. NESBIT. Atlanta, Jan. 10,1878, This is to certify that I have been affected with paraly sis and other diseases and confined to my bed and room for 12 months, and that I am now up and assisting my wife anc ready to go to work. And that I am confident that the Ho Iman J 'ad and Body Plasters have restored 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, J H WEBB & WIFE. Boston, Mass., July 27,1877. 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.
