CHAPTER VII.
Ashton rapidly improved, and Mildred as rap
idly regained the use of her strained tinkle.
They promenaded tiie piazz i. strolled over the
flower yard and lawn, gathered H overs, and
Afiidred' and Mary poured forth their treasures
of hotanieal knowledge, and Ashton often re
sponded hylimitations from the poets. In these
the young ladies lonnd what they had never re
alized. Ill it the spirit of poetry Is not fully felt
until we hear it uttered by tin* lips, prompted by
the mind and heart of one blessed with the dl-
vlne efflitus. as eloquence only reaches tlie
heart and soul of man. will) its full power, when
we hear it from the orator’s lips.
They had enjoyed several rides in tlie family
carriage, to tlie places of interest in the vicinity,
as well as the luxury of Mrs. Moreland’s table.
And Ashton had found what a superb judge Mr.
Moreland was of line to ha eon ami cigars, as well
as of the sparkling beverage from across the
water, tl at had paid the custom house duty.
Afewdiys later, when Mrs. lingers had re
covered. Kellx came again to visit Ids friend, and
Was delighted to find Imw nearly lie w is himself
again. The meeting witli Mary and Mildred was
also a great delight to him. as it was to Ashton
to meet him In their company.
After a few choice pieces of music repeated at
the request of Mr. Ashton, there was. on the
part of the young ladies, a manifest desire to
call him out in an intellectual conversation.
“You seem to love music, Mr. Ashton,” said
Mildred.
“All men, to some extent, do,” replied Ashton,
“but there are many over whom its powers are
peculiar. I am not ’insensible to them. There
Is, however, something in the time, and place,
and circumstances, and not mifrequently the
B ersons that clothes it with its 1 tower to move
te heart.”
“There are many who seem enraptured by the
painter’s gifts,” said Mildred, “a matter I never
could understand—why silent imitations of real
things should be so highly prized.”
“It Is I rue of man, however, from a verv early
historic period,” responded Ashton, “as It Is of
poesy.”
“Which is the oldest, poesy or painting?”
asked Mary.
“I can only answer by such Information as
history affords,” replied Ashton, “which, upon
their origin. Is meagre. They may really be
classed as twin sisters, whose nativity & so
nearly cotemporaneous with the origin of our
aperies that we have no means of tracing them
through the gieesome unrestraint of childhood,
or chronicling the foibles and conflicts of the
nursery, not even to portray the stages of pro-
S ress and growth by which they developed Into
lielr fairy maiden forms, and unfolded their
Chaste beauties and attractive graces—so shroud
ed In the gloom of antiquity are their Incipient
end early historic periods.”
Rogers—“And tneir preservation and contin
ued growth and development in beauty, through
the mutations of ages, and the universal ten
dency to decay of all things tem|>oral, are mar
vellous. The achievements of greatness and
genius, have often left only dim footprints on
the sands of time, whose efflux has consigned
the actors to oblivion. Imperial powers, that
•ought to rival the Divinity, have crumbled Into
dust. Histories have been effaced; places and
periods of powerful nations become vague and
uncertain; the emanations of ancient genius
»me to us In fragments; the works of sculptors
and architects have yteided to time’s ruthless
waste, still, amid It all, the Giver of alt good has
vouchsafed to man to honor Hint, the twin sis
ters, poetry and painting.”
Mary—“And it would seem, instead of grow
ing old and gray and wrinkled, they still bear
the bloom and beauty of youth.”
Ashton—“Heavenly in their origin, guileless
In their youth, they have made the circuit of
Civilization with man, followed him in Ills career
of glory and renown, and fallen with him in dis
aster. They have ministered at the courts of
empire, adorned the triumphs of the hero, and
have sustained and cheered the artist, the
scholar and sage. Handmaidens to the Jew,
Mohammedan and Christian, they have not dis
dained to bo clothed in the rude garments and
visit the savage In his wild haunts.”
Rogers—“Yet they have courted, and been
courted, by'the depravity of man. and changed
with his caprice, elevating and refining popular
taste, yet often yielding to vices of the times
and country, and mingling with the drapery and
adornments of pristine purity, the traces of
evil.”
Ashton—“Without irreverence It may be said
that the sculptor’s chisel was the gift of God to ! form all menial service, but negroes do not like
man, to honor Him and glorify the Giver In such to wait on each other. They can’t be relied on
works as the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Cove-1 to give medicine, or to minister to their own

“I would he glad to hear what course you pur

"Well, stranger. I jes letem all alone to have
their way. and I’d have mine. They didn't do
my eatin’ and drinkin’ and chawin' tobaccer,
and I didn't do theirn. We had a plenty to eat,
and t lie ole woman knowed how to cook it rite,
and I always eat a plenty that was good. If I
found out that anything agreed with me, I eat
that, no matter what they said about it. And
when they ricommended anything that didn’t
suit me when I tried it. I let that alone. So
matter what they said about thin close, and
steepin' cool, for when I wore warm close I was
stronger, and when I had plenty of kiver I slept
better. I st.iid at home in bad weather, and
rested when I got tired. 1 paid my debts, and
lived on my own provisions, and kept a clean
conscience, and I don’t owe a thrip this day."
“I suppose. Mr. Wilkes, from your previous
remarks, that whatever care a man ought to
take of himself ordinarily, he should not hesi
tate to ex|>ose himself in war.”
“Oh, yes; jes like fightin’ for your wife and
children, or knockin’ a man down when he gives
you the lie. A country that ain’t worth fightin’
for ain’t worth livin’ in, and a man that won't
fight for his country ain’t fit to live in it, and he
ought to die.”
Mr. Moreland entered, and expressed his
pleasure at seeing Ids neighbors, and there was
a general ideas;!nt greeting, followed by lively
conversation, after which he remarked:
“Our dinner will probably soon be ready, and
I have some brandy and sugar that perhaps will
not be out of (dace beforehand.”
“It Is a good thing In Its place, if you take It
in moderation.” said Mr. Wilkes. I always eat
and driuk when I tldnk It’ll do me good, as I
was jess tellintbe stranger."
CHAPTER VIII.
After dinner a negro servant entered and said:
“Miss Mary, I have saddled Kitty and Fannie
for you and Miss Mildred, and Black Hawk for
Mr. Ashton.”
Ashton—“I propose that we avail onrselves of
the beautiful sunshine and balmy breeze, and
take the ride now. My last experience on horse
back was not mine for luck. But I trust with
tl e inspl ailon of a falreqt estriem e Instead of a
fox ana pack, that 1 may come out of it with
fewer wounds, if not more laurels.”
Rogers—“I should have no partner, which,
under other circumstances i would rebel
against But at this time my engagements will
make It agreeable to be excused.
As they came ont he remarked to Ashton:
“That is the notable horse, Black Hawk, you
are to ride. I am not able to tell whether Mr.
Moreland prizes him most for being fast or slow,
as he can fill either requisition when made upon
him. There is one thing, however, that I will
vouch for: that he will not run away or fall
down. He has been In this country long enough
to know what a gopher hole is. Kitty and Fan
nie are well apprised of the duties they are to
perform, and you will have cause to admire the
manner In winch they perform it. They will be
proud of their riders. Dr. Taylor will expect
us all, day after tomorrow, and ne looks forward
with great pleasure to having his friends meet
you at his most hospitable home. He desires
that you will come tne evening before and spend
the night with him,” And handing Maiy up to
the saddle and adjusting the skirts, while Ash
ton was mounting Black Hawk, and after Burch
had seated Mildred, he saw them gallop down
the vista In gay style.
When Ashton arrived, late In the afternoon,
at Dr. Taylor's, he was cordially met by Mrs.
Taylor, who explained that her husband had
been riding over the farm, and was then absent,
at one of the negro cabins, to see % sick negro
woman, and would soon be in.
“Is the woman seriously ill?” asked Ashton.
“She has been. I have been up with her a
part of several nights, but she is now out of
danger.”
‘Are you in the habit of giving personal at
tention to your negroes when they are sick?”
“By all means. Otherwise they would be neg
lected. and often die for the want of it.”
‘Will not other negroes on the place relieve
you of that burden?”
“It Is a rare case that we can depend on
them. They are faithful to attend us and per-
“How many slaves have you?”
“About fifty—counting the aged and chil
dren.”
“Doctor, is it your opinion that the negroes in
this pan of your State are content and satisfied
in a state of bondage?”
“As a race in tills country they know no condi
tion Inn that of slavery. So tar as I know the
matter is never agitated among them in any
seiious method, amt I know no reason to sup
pose they are diss it i-fied. I am of the opinion
that, as a race, they are about as little disturbed
t- about slavery as the white race isabout freedom;
V and that, at‘least in this part of the country,
they are generally satisfied with their present
owners—roily as much so as the laboring unites
are with their homes and worldly circumstances.
It is absolutely certain they could never be
trained, even after succeeding generations, to
tie content with slavery. It is not ill their blood.
Yet. as to the Africans of this country, it is
doubtful whether they could thrive more. aual

subject of the right and wrong of slavery.”

“How do the sickness and deaths of the races

A servant entered to announce that Mr. Wil
kes and Me. Cody, two old plain farmers in the
vicinity, had alighted and enquired for Mr. Ash
ton. and had come to visit him.
Rogers—“Two of the most excellent and de
voted men in all tills land, but neither of them
has a spark or poetry In him.”
Burch—“This amounts to a summary adjourn

etc., which we have been discussing. ‘But I In

tacks, the constitution of the white race is bet

quicker, and often when wldte people recover,
even where they have the same treatment and
attention. They seem to lose hope and give way
sooner under suffering. The attention of owners
in whom they have confidence is highly essen
tial to them when seriously sick. Have you ever
been among the cabins upon a plantation to see
bow they live?”
“I have not; and if it is no intrusion I would
be glad to do so.”
“Just go out into that grove, and you will meet
the Doctor at the farthest cabin, if he is not on
“None that takes any practical direction, re
plied Dr. Taylor, ‘ or is likely to do so; none to
cause discussion; therefore no medium to bring
discontent to the slaves or division among the
whites, whatever abstract views some individ
uals may hold. The people though are compar
atively a unit UJKH1 it as an abstract questiou of
right and wrong.”
They returned to the mansion—an old hewn
log building, to which modern additions had
been made—embowered in evergreens, and with
a spacious yard of flowers, shrubbery and vines,
witli adjaceut orchards, aud exteusive shelters
and enclosures for stock; barns and gin house
standing un tall joists, and numerous round cot
ton bales sheltered near it ; many stacks of fod
der, aud oats, and straw; a smoke-house loaded
with meat and other sapplies.
Dr. Taylor, after showing Ashton around, and
descanting ujkui the country, its health, the hos
pitable and orderly people, the general peace
aud good order, and tiie ease with which all
their products were grown, invited Ashton into
his parlor, which, as was that of Moreland, also
his library, containing many valuable books aud
many that were old aud rare.
Dr. Taylor retired and soon returned with the
glass decanter, tumblers and water and sugar,
aud Invited Ashton to join iu au evening toddy,
suggesting that it were more than probable, if
he would spend the time witli him, he might find
much ou ins shelves that would well repay tiie
search; with which suggestion Ashton was
much pleased, and signified bis willingness to do
so.
“The people of your country are as fond of
stimulants as ours, but they do not seem to get
so often drunk and go wild, as in this country
said the doctor.
“They have learned to use alcoholic stlmiflants
witli more discretion, and they use far more
malt liquors that are less exhilarating. They
drink for the permanent good they think there is
in the beverage.”
“Our people begin on that without counting
much on where It will end,” said Dr. Taylor.
“The Anglo-Saxon transplanted this side the
Atlantic is wonderfully mixed. If you inquire
about the ancestry of these people you will fiud
they are mixed with the different nationalities
of Europe—English, Scotch, Irish, French and
Dutch; and with a large per centum of them
stimulants in the stomach work wonderful
changes in the action of the brain.”
“Is it not a wonder,” said Ashton, “that a
man of reason, knowing its effects, will take
brandy enough to make himself a madman?”
“Not at all if he takes any. 1 heard your
explanation at Mr. Burch’s of the theory by
which sleep is produced, and was delighted with
it. It is by similar agency that a man gets
drunk—that Is as to the fact of the intoxication
Itself. It is the action of stimulants on the sys
tems of nerves, tiie opposing systems of the
spinal and sympathetic. The very means by
which a mun grows strong in active exercise,
with which he is delighted, generates the car
bon that excites his cerebro-spiual system until
its excess acts upon |the opposing sympathetic
system; and if carbon was intoxicating a man
would get drunk by over and too long continued
exercise; but when the excess acts upon the
opposing nerves lie gets tired and sleepy. It is
a wise provision. Alcohol, an exultant stimu
lant like carbon, acts primarily on the same
set of nerves, but more powerfully. It makes a
man feel happy and strong and active. He seeks
to keep up or continue this effect by repeating
his drinfcs, until the stimulant begins to affect
the opposing nerves. He then realizes that he
needs more drink, and the more he takes the
greater his weakness, until he falls with stupor
by haviug excited the sympathetic and render
ing the cebro spinal nerves Insensible. This
is the effect produced primarily by adepressent,
such as opium to allay pain. It acts directly
upon the sympathetic, rendering the opposing
nerves insensible.
But.as you have consented to remain with me
awhile, we shall have opportunity to talk qtaEti.
It will give my good wire and ftie gi£ji-pi*CT!re

And I trust yon will feel as much at home here
as if you were under your paternal roof.”
He retired to look after business, leaving
Ashton to glance over the titles of the immereus
books before him—finding many with which he
was familiar. But others he bad no} seen.
After supper Mrs. Taylor Joined them, and
they drew out Ashton to a late hour in' descrip
tions of countries, of which his memory was
vivid.

What atmut her chUdren, Aunt Winny? has again, after a year's wanderings in the West. I
was glad to go; I am gladder to return. Not
that I did not like It aU out there—the prairies,
the cowboys, the rough-and-readlness; that
was all very fine—but I got charged with the
meanest malaria, and the “morest” of it, fol
lowed by “maiiclous” fever, or danyue, and a
bad and chronic case of dyspepsia. I attribute
the one to the State and the other to the hotels—
not all, but some of them are responsible for It.
But these is that about the West, if you are
man enough to outlive the malaria, “laying” for
you iu divers portions, which is captivating.
They say out there that life iu the old States Vs
not living. I made tracks witli astonishing
rapidity (a mere figure of speech—I did not

seems that everybody who has uot got uangue

and charming people. There is no question
about the virtues of that artesian well for dys
pepsia. I tried it, and I know. I’ve nothing
left of my dyspepsia save, perhaps, an ugly
temper.

fairs: they interfere with my business and
should be suppressed. This part of the country
has been suffering from a bad attack of them.

Rev. Father Wilds’
EXPERIENCE.
The Rev. Z. P. Wilds, well-known city
missionary in New York, ami brother
of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the
Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes
| as follows:
I ‘* 78 E. 5Ith St., Nett* York. May hi, 1&82.
Messrs. J. C. Aver & Co.. Gentlemen :
Last winter I was troubled with a most
uncomfortable itching humor affecting
more especially my limbs, which itched so
Intolerably at night, and burned so intense
ly, that l could scarcely bear any c’otliiug
over them. 1 was also a sufferer from a
severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system a good
deal run down. Knowing the value of
AVer's Sarsaparilla, by observation of
many other cases, and from personal use
in former years, l began taking it for the
above-named disorders. 3fy appetite im
proved almost from the first dose. After
a short time the fever ami itching were
allayed, ami all signs of irritation of the
skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough
were also cured by the same means, and
my general health greatly improved, until
it* is now excellent. 1 feel a hundred per
cent stronger, and I attribute these result*
to the use of the Sarsaparilla, which
I recommend with all confidence as the
best blood medicine ever devised. 1 took
it in small doses three times a day, and
used, in all, less than two bottles, f place
these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may'do good.
Yours respectfully, Z. P. WlLDS.”
The above instance is but one of the many
constantly coining to our notice, which prove
the perfect adaptability of AVer’s Sarsa^
parilla to the cure of all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood, and a
weakened vitality.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
cleanses, enriches, and strengthens the blood,
stimulates the action of the stomach and
bowels, and thereby enables the system to
resist and overcome the attacks of all Scrq/\t-
lous Diseases, Eruptions of the Shin, Rheu
matism, Catarrh, Oeneral Debility, and all
disorders resulting from poor or corrupted
blood and a low state of the system.

TRIALS ARE GOLDEN GAINS.
Bright are the joys contentment brings,
And to sweet memories we cl’.ng,
While there’s found in nature or art
No picture that’s not dark In part.
Youth, manhood and old age find woe;
In all life’s stages joys will flow;
Possessors of wealth, ease and fame,
Have each alike—gladness and pain.
First there’s sunshine, then follows rain,
And at last there are flowers again.
Trials are golden gains, and lime
Will with beauty each true heart hire—
For out of sad despair will rise
A soul enriched; In fair guise
It will haunt memory beside
The clear cut sky that is the bride
Of nature; the pride of her dream
Are mortals in purity seen.
