THE REJECTED MA3HSCBIPT.
The following sad note accompanied the manu
script of the fragment of verse given below. Mr.
Lunsford was a young writer of great promise and
has written some articles of great merit for the
Sunny South:
“I have in my possession a piece written for your
paper by J. P. Lunsford, which he i> tended sending
to you to-day, but on yesterday he died and to-day
was buried. I send it knowing it would have been
his wish.. It was his last composition.
John C. Neel.
Thomasville, Ga., March 8th 1779.
A failure—well—I need not—do not pause,
To murmur uselessly about the cause,
What one esteems the most inviting dish.
May not be quite the food that others wish;
Eggs tried, or scrambled best may meet my taste,
Perhaps you say, not porched, they are a waste;
Then take what suits you, we can still agree,
As you accord like privilege to me.
Then we consult the various bills of fare,
We see enough for all and some to spare.
What if the quality is not the best?
When all alone you may apply be test,
A different course might well make one afraid
That he should hurt another's needful trade.
Let him indulge in humbugs if he please—
Why should you suffer that to spoil your ease,
It is repugnant to the taste refined
To make objections and to speak your mind.
Informed of this supreme lesthetic law,
Obsequious underlings are kept in awe.
Not so the man of independent thought;
To him a cipher signifies but naught.
And multiply it often as you will,
The wholeresult amounts to nothing still.
Yet serves, like other empty things we know,
To fill up blanks and help to make a show.
There is a pride of birth—that may be well,
As through long generations ’‘Blood will tell;”
All must admire the patriot's noble zeal,
When acts, not words, make known what he may
feel;
Men indicate the class where they belong,
Be it in science, politics, or song
And like to see, by honors fitly gained
The credit of the family maintained.
And now, my brethren of the measured line
How shall we best employ the ‘gift divine;”
Not in the composition of such stuff
That others say once reading is enough,
Be it didactic, doggerel, sad, or gay, •
Let there be force and pith in what we say.
A Fatal Blow.
BY HUBERT H. DUVAB.
Shortly after the dethronement of Louis Phil-
lipe and the establishment of the republic, the
authorities became aware that counterfeit Dotes
of the Bank of France, of the denomination of
one thousand f.aocs, were in circulation.
So fine was the workmanship of the plate
that it puzzled even the m< st skillful < xperts to
detect the difference between the bogus notes
and the genuine. An enormous reward, with a
free pardon to the infoimer, was tffered, and
the whole Parisian dettch ve force was on the
alert; but the notes still continued to be circu
lated, while no olew to the forgers or the circu
lators could be found.
Late one afternoon a lady closely veiled
stepped from her carriage and entered the ante
room of the department of the Chief of Police.
*1 wish to see M. the Chief of Police at once,
she said, in a voice that, though betraying
mt' ch agitation, wts still that of one’accustomed
to be obeyed.
‘But Madame,’ answered the clerk, ‘that is
impossible. If you have any complaint to make
or information to lodge, I will receive it and
present it in due form.'
The lady made a gesture of impatience.
•That will not do,’ she antwered; ‘I must see
him personally* and at once. Tell him the wife
of M Mangiron, of the Cbamb9r of Deputies,
wishes to see him regarding the forgeries on the
Bank of France.’
The subordinated manner changed instantly.
This M. Mangiron w: s a great man in the Cham
ber of Deputies, and occupied a position ot
trust in the Treasury Department. Of his an
tecedents, however, people krew but little.
He had never been heard of until four or five
ytars previouslj; but his wealth was reported
to be enormot s, while his wife was one of the
acknowledged queens of fashion and her recep
tions and entertainments were eve rywhere ad
mitted to be the me st elegant in Paris. When,
therefore, the message was delivered to the chief
he gave orders that she should be admitted at
once.
She did not raise her v> il, but bowed slightly,
and asked if their interview might be private,
upon which ti e official motioned for the at
tendants to withdraw.
No sooner were they alone than the lady
raised the veil, showing a face of more than or
dinary beauty, Lnt disfigured by a purple scar
upon her cheek, evidently the mark of a recent
blow.
•You desire to know who is the forger of the
one thousand franc notes ef the Bank of France ?'
she asked.
Yes,’ the chief answered, eagerly. ‘The gov
ernment has i ffered a reward of one hundred
thousand francs, and a free pardon to any one
connected with the affair who giyes the evidence,
for such information.’
•The reward I do not ask. The pardon I do
—for a time. You pledge me your word and
honor it shall be granted ?’
‘I pledge you my word it shall.’
■Then,’ the lady answered, ‘it was I who en
graved the plate.’
The cfficial almost sprang from his seat in
gennine surprise.
•You, madame !’ he cried. ‘You, the wife of
tbe Deputy Mangiron!’
Yes, I, monsier,’ the lady answered, a ring of
vindictive triumph in her voice; ‘I, the wife of
M. Mangiron. It was I who engraved the plate
at my husband’s wish. It was he who through
the facilities afforded him by his position,
cansc d them to be paid out from the National
Treasury, thns elnding detection.’
Can this be possible !’
•I will prove what I say. More than that, h6
is even at this moment, i.ssisted by a subordi
nate in the department, engaged in printing
counterfeit notes from the very plate.’
•But, madame. what can be your motive?’
•My motive, monsier, is of no importance.
Sufficient tLat I speak the truth. Let your offi
cers follow me to my hotel, and I a ill prove my
words.’ ... ...
bUe turned to leave the apartment as she
spoke. Hardly certain that he had not a mad
woman to deal with, the ohiet still gave orders
for a squad of gendarmes, attired as civilians,
to follow her carriage to the Ho'el Mangiron,
and, if her words were true, to make the neces
sary arrests. ....... ..
No sooner had they arrived at tbe house than
the lady led the way into the library, which wt s
situated on the ground floor, and carefully
clrsed the door behind them. Then she crossed
the room to where the full-length por r*it of a
knight of the middle ages frowned grin ly upon
them from the wainscot, and, touching a spring,
tbe panel slid aside, disclosing a narrow pas
sage between the walls.
Follow that passage, she said. Be careful
of the stairway. I will wait here till your re-
ta The gendarmes^ looked dubiously at one an
other for a moment, until the sergeant in com
mand, entering himself, gave the order to follow
him. Then, groping their way along until they
came to a narrow Sight of stairs, they descended
them, and a light shone ahead of them in the
distance.
With a warning gesture of silence, the ser
geant in command crept OinUousiy along, the
rest closely following him, and saw two men
busily * ngr ged at a small pr< ss. taking impres
sions from a ooppc-r-plate. So busily were they
® D f?®g ( ‘d that they were scarcely aware of any
intruders’ presence until they were surrounded,
and fonnd themselves prisoners.
Meanwhile, Madame Mangiron had gone into a
smaller room, leading from the library, and
hastily attired heise’f in a robe ol shimmering
white silk, with a fashing circlet of gems upon
her head, and diamonds upon her neck and
wrists. She had evidently placed them in this
chamber in readiness beforehand, and when
she had thns attired herself, passed into the
drawing-room, and stood waiting, wiih a look
of vindictive triumph on her face.
She stood in an attitude of listening expect
ancy, as their footsteps sounded along theseoret
passage, until they entered the library, when
she heard her husband's voice.
‘Let me at least kiss my wife before you take
me to prison.’ be said.
A look of almost fiendish exultation was upon
her face, as the door opened, and tbe cfficeis
entered with her husband as their prisoner.
‘I overheard tbe request,’ she said, with a
sweeping courtesy. ‘Monsieur the Deputy is
very affectionate. It strikes me, howtver, his
ideas have changed somewhat since this morn
ing, when—’
She did not finish the sentence, but touched
the scar upon her face with her jeweled hand.
‘Marie,’ her husband eried, wildly, have yon
no pity for me ? I struck you in the heat of
passion, and von have your reveoge. Gan you
not forgive me now ? You know how I love—
adore you. Tell me you forgive the blow, and
I will deem the punishment you have brought
upon me jest.’
Thi r<? was the true ring of love and of re
morse for tbe indignity he bad done her in
every tone of the man’s voioe, but it did not
soften her heart towards him. Instead it
seemed to make her voice more cruel and sar-
o stio her heart more hard and pitiless.
‘Forgive you !’ she said, with a heartless,
mocking laugh. ‘Forgive you when you strnok
me as you would a dog. Never. I swore re
venge for it, and I will not relinquish my ven
geance so < asiiy. It shall be sweeping and com
plete. It wi s a fatal blow you struck me—your
own death blow that you dealt.'
Tbe man was criminal, but be was not a
craven. It w: s genuine remorse for tbe blow
he had struck her, and the love it had lost him,
not a fear of the penalty he must pay for his
fault that moved him almost to tears as he onoe
more answered her.
‘Marie, j on angered me, and I was not my-
s If; I was mad. You will not refuse to kiss
me once. The last time- forever, it may be. ’
He stretched his fettered hands appealingly
towards her, and ;.s if moved by a sudden im
pulse tf pity, she drew nearer to him. The
effi ers, with an instinotive delicacy, stepped
a pace or two further off that the husband and
wife might embrace once more before tbe prison
walls separated them forever.
‘Husband !’ she said, a tremor in her voice
from which all the angry triumph had fiown,
‘I have had my vengeance. It is I who need
forgivim ss more than you. There is nothing
now for either of us on earth but disgrace and
misery. Let our reconciliation be mutual and
forever.’
As she spoke she imprinted one long, linger
ing kiss npon his lips. The next moment she
had drawn a dagg> r from the folds of her dress
and buried it in his Leart.
Her action bad been sosudd6B and unexpect
ed that tbe e fficers stood dumbfounded for a
moment-only for a moment; but before they
had recovered themselves, she stood once more
erect, with the dagger again upraised in the air.
They sprang forward to wrest it from her hand,
but before they could reach her it had ouct
more descended, and with a wild, agonized cry,
she fell backwards in their arms a corpse.
General Grants Insane.
For three montl s there have been curious sto
ries told about General Grant, and his conduct
at various places which excited the astonish
ment to say the least of the punctilious courts of
Europe. Some scandal was occ: sioned by the
reproduction of part of a paragraph from u
Spanish journal at the time of Grant's visit to
Spain, which specifically asserted that he was in
toxicated while at the E .curia!, and in such a
way as to make it noticeable to every one pres
ent. Other things have occurred which the
most lenient charity oould not condone, and
very much scandal has oocurred in European
courts in consi qaenoe.
An t ffioer of very high rank in the ser
vice of the United States, jwho has just returned
from one of the countries visited by Grant, lur-
nish- s an explanation which entitles tbe ex
president to the respectful pity of the country
rather than to its sneers. The etory, substanti
ally, is that Grant s mind is seriously impaired;
that it has been threatening for a long time,
which was one cause for his going abroad. While
in Germany a most noted surgeon was consulted
whc'Sft opinion was that the disease threatened
insanity. It was hoped that oi ange, freedom
from excitement and anxiety wonld work a cure,
But this has not been the result; and wh le tbe
attacks are intermittent and irregular, they are
the cause of great aLxiety to his family and
friends.
The offiuer added that these fac s had been
privately communicated to a few of the ex-pres
ident’s friends, and only those whose discre
tional regard will impel the profoundest secre
cy. This information was verified in a rather
unixpected way by some inquiries in regard to
the sut ject addressed to a mast particular friend
of Grant’s, and one who benefited qnite as
much by the late administration, in both terms,
as any single individual. His reply to a direct
question was such as to make it certain that the
story told above had been talked of in the inner
oircle. Even now, what will be done if it is
trne, is a matter of grave consideration to tbe
very few intimat s who have been advised ot
what has occurred abroad. The fear seems to
be that, in case of an “ovation across the conti
nent” as has been contemplated, he might do or
say something under the peculiar txoitement
that would result, which wonld make tbe truth
known to the public, and thereby allow the af
flicting story to be subject of popuiar gossip, to
the infinite pain of his family and friends.
The decoration ol the Confederate monunrent,
in Greenwood Cemetery, New Orleans, took place
Sunday alternoon, April 7th. Between eight and
ten thousand persons were present. The local mil
itary organizations and associations participated.
The prominent feature of ceremonies was the re
ception of delegations from the Grand Army of the
Republic and Union sailors and soldiers who pre
sented floral offerings.
During the high wind on Thursday night Isaac S.
Bassett, twenty-six years old, of 621 Washington
avenue, a brakeman on a Pennsylvania railroad
freight train, was missed from the top of the cars,
shortly after leaving Newark. The train was run
back, and Bassett was found dead on the track, with
both legs crushed. He is suppesed to have been
blown off the car roof. The body was brought to
this city. Yesterday Deputy Coroner Beam held an
inquest, and in the absence of testimony the jury
found a verdict of accidental death.
The Fate of Peggy Muldoon.
Ah, a fine girl was this same daughter of the
ancient house of Muldoon, the blue eye of love
it * as that gazed out upon the damp fens of her
native land, and brown were the tresses that
laid like a coronet npon her broad, blue-veined,
white brow. She was playing with the golden
fancies of sixteen summers, and her young
heartbeat responsive to the rise aDdfall of a
bosom palpitating with pare aspirations and
maidenly longings. O, sweet fancies of girl
hood, the days hold
“Such joys and sunshine, few sorrows and tears
To checker the path of life’s April hours;
She longingly wished for the coming years.
That hope ever wreathed with the fairest flowers;
Whet- friendships are fadeless, love as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night.”
So Peggy, tbe beauty stood quivering with the
expectanoeof a first-born love, and dreaming of
her hero, the handsome foreign gentleman.
The daylight brings mourning to the house of
Muldoon. The fa her's angry words ling oyer
the sodden fens, end the mother’s yearning
cries do not reach the ears of her Peggy, for she
is sailing away to the land of her hero. She
will come back anon to gladden the sorrowing
ones at home. Has not her beautiful hero
promised. * * *
On Bleecker street, not far from Broadway, in
a very finely-furnished apartment, onr Peggy
is sitting busily sewing, and singing an Irish
melody. She is thinking oi her bonny home,
and the song dies away in moa nful cadence,
but the light of love shines through the tears
that fill her eyes, for her hero is her hero yt>t,
and love—love is sweet! He has been longer
av. ay than usual, but maybe tr-morrow he will
come. She takes up the daily paper, her eyes
light upon ‘Obituary Notices.' She starts
wildly. His name! Great Heaven ! It cannot
be her love—her husband, for it tells oi wife
and children living elsewhere. Some spirit
moves her; in strange despair she finds her way
to tbe residence mentioned; a great throng is
gathered in the superb parlors; she finds no
difficulty in entering and pausing by the stately-
mounted coffin, with others. One look at the
oeld, waxen face, she dutches at her throat, she
stares at the monrning group—‘wife and chil
dren'—and she— what was > he to this dead man ?
The play h ng of a viil in ! Potr Peggy ! stand
ing by the beckoning arms of a watery grave,
she crowds into a few realizing moments the
history of life, and with the cry of ‘mercy’ to a
merciful God, she plunges from the cruelty of
existence into the dark waves of eternal rest,
and in the home of the little green isle they
will never know the fate if Peggy Muldoon.
But to one warm Irish heart
“There are ashen memories, bitter pain
And buried hopes, and a broken vow,
And an aching heart by the restless main,
And the sea breeze fanning a pallid brow;
And a wanderer on the shell-lined shore
Listening for voices that speak no more.”
An Astonishing; Fact.—A large proportion of tbe
American people are to-day dying from the effects of Dys
pepsia or disordered liver The result of these diseases
upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life iictually a burden instead of a
pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it
ought to be There is no good reason for this, if you will
only throw aside prejudice and skeptici-m, take the ad
vice of Druggists a< d your friends, and try one bottle of
Green’s August Flower. *Your speedy relief is certain.
Millions of bottles of this medicine ha' e been given away
to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case.
Yen can buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Positively sold by all
druggists on the Western Continent.

Wrenched and Racked By the par ga of rheuma
tism, the joints even ually become grievously distorted,
and sometimes assume an almost grotesque deformity.
To prevent such results by a simple and agreeable means
is certainly the part of wisdom. A te> de- cy to rheumat
ic ailments may be successfully combatted with Hostet-
ter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine with ihe prestige of a
l»ng and successful career, of unbounded popularity, and
•f emphatic professional endorsement. It removes from
the blood those inflammatory impurities which patholo
gist assign as tbe cause of rheumatism, and not only pur
ifies the life current, but enriches it, promoting vigor by
fertilizing its source. Digestion, tbe action of the bowels
and the secretion of the bile, are aided by it, and it ?m-
pe's the kidneys and bladder to a regular aua active per
formance of their functions It is besides a thoroughly
reliaole remedy for, and means of prev nting periodic
fevers.
Theological students reason that if thete be counterfeit
money, there muat be genuine; so, if there he infidels,
there mnst. also be Christians. If this be true of money
aud religion, will not the same rule apply to “put up”
medicines ? Do not the cheap and wo. thless nostrums
prove that there are genuina and meritorious “put up’
medicines? The great popularity of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery has resulted in the manufacture of
many shoddy alterative and tonic remedies, but one after
another these have disappeared, the proprt tors having
ound that, to matter how' loud they advertise, success
depends upon merit. In South America, as well as in
this country, the Discovery is the standard remedy for
all scrofulous and eruptive diseases. It acts promptly o-
the stomach, liver, and blood, toning up, regulating and
purifying the system. It speedily allays all bronchial
irritation, and cures the most stubborn cough or cold in
hslf the time required by any other remedy.

What a Beard.
The Chicago Times of April 6, has an extraot
from the Mercury describing the beurd of a Kr,
Baker, mtasuring about t r nearly five feet in
length. It is undoubtedly an enormous growth,
but it do s net compare with tbe beard of Mr.
Edwin Smith, of Fairfield, Lenawee county.
Mich. Fairfield is a stat ou on the Fayette Di
vision of the Canada Southern fU.lvray line,
and the statement given below can be verified
by any number of reputable per pie who hi re
been acquainted with Mr. Smith, tor almost any
length of lime, from twenty years upwards. He
is an old r< sident of tbe township of Jasper.
Mr. Smith is about forty years of age, and meas
ures swen feet and six inches . This is a fict,
and your fiv -‘ foot* beard man must hide his
diminished head. I inclose you a photograph
of the gen liman, that you may be able to form a
correct opinion of his app arance.
The photograph alluded to fully bears out the
description alluded to by our correspondent.
The beard, circled and trimmed, ixtends from
the obin to the floor, as Mr. Smith stands posed
for the picture, the point extending nearly a
foot further on the carpet. Altogether it is the
biggest crop of hair yet heard iroin.

favorite prescription, which in an extensivo
practice of over 27 years, he has found most
effective in all cases of disordered liver or im
pure blood. It is
ANTI-BILIOUS.
It acts directly upon the liver, restoring it,
when diseased, to its normal condition, and in
regulating the activity of this great gland every
other organ of the system is benefited. In
Blood Diseases it has no equal as a purifier. It
Improves digestion and assists nature to elimi
nate all impurities from the system, and while
it is the cheapest medicine in the market it is
also superior to all known remedies. W bile it
is more effectual than Blue Mass.it is mild and
perfectly safe, containing nothing that can in
the slightest degree injure the system. It does
not sicken or give pain, neither does it weaken
the pationt nor leave the system constipated,
as most other medicines do.

It is on excellent corrective of indigestion. I have
used it with prompt beneficial results.
Rev. Leroy M. Lee. D D., Meth. Hist’n.
I am never without it at homeor abroad. It is an anti
dote to Indigestion. Uneasiness after a meal or purging
is cheeked and the bowels regulated. ts merits are at”
tested by numbers and 1 igh character. I nave seen a

well-known physicians, removes all doubt. It is, beyond
question, a wonderful therapeutical agent.—Editors Re

Editor Richmond Christian Advocate.
This remedy is of tried virtues. I have seen dyspepsia
cured completely by it. It seems to be an antidote
to our “Naiiona Disease.” The ingredients are not kept
