been uttered.

Rachel Lenard keeps, such a dis
agreeable bird; but she is not the
sort ol girl to have any considera
tion for her neighbors.’
Kit, standing by a window and
gazing impatiently down into the
' busy avenue, smiled dryly beneath
his handsome mustache.
‘Mother would not mind the
parrot,’ he interposed, coldly, ‘but
she would decline being a burden
to you. We shall not impose any
such inconvenience npon your
generosity. Miss Maud.’
‘Ah. but yon know I am will
ing to do am thing in the world
for yon.’ Maud iterated, with an
air of ineonccalable relief.
‘To be sure you would,’ Miss
Dolilel hastened to say; ‘and if
my brother were not so absurdly
proud he would not hesitate to
mention one thing you really can
do lor us. He knows you would
only too gladly loan ns for a time
the amount which the agent re
quires.’
•Sis!’ her brother ejaculated, in
she can atford to make little gifts
to her friends, I suppose; she cer
tainly earns a great deal more
money than Rachael does.’
‘Teaching music is not always
a lucrative vocation,’ Kit observed
soberly.
•Oil, but Racliaol does not care
to make gifts to any one—she is
such a miserly little creature,’
said the sister.
‘Shesc'nally begrudges tbekeep-
ing of her parrot, Maud says.’
‘Maud must have been joking.
Mrs. Doiitel interposed. She
would not be likely to begrudge
the keeping of a pet like that—it
is a wonderfully intelligent and
rarely taught bird, and valuable
beside. One of her pupils woultl
give her a hundred dollars for it
any day.’
‘And she would not part with it
for a hundred times that sum.
She has nothing else to love, she
says. She is an uncommonly sil
ly girl, 1 think.’ the not particu
larly brilliant Miss Doiitel said
with a little sbrug of ber diminu
live shoulders.
•And she has need enough „f| accents of rebuke and consterna-
money, too—I am persuaded of ll0 °‘
that. She has worn nothing but

failing tone, and sbe abruptly
dropped the needlework which for
some moments she had held in an
uncertain sort of way.
‘You have been exciting yonr-
self too much, mother,’ said Kit,
anxiously regarding the changing
countenance of his fragile parent.
•You are ill again, mamma,’ the
daughter cried, as she hurried to
the sofa where the ft valid reciin

spasm after spasm of paiu wrench

And ill again she was, indeed—

‘Ah, what an unlucky body I
am !*
Maud exclaimed, with a gesture
aa if of unutterable regret. ‘I
have just made a most expensive
purchase—some finery, so costly
that I shall be obliged to scrimp
my own Ixiard money for a long
time to come, I fear. I am so
sorry you did not mention tbe
matter tiefore I had invested all
my savings and a good deal I
hare yet to earn beside.'
‘We know you are sorry, dear,’
Miss Doiitel sighed ruefully. ‘But
we take tbe will for the deed, and
thank you just tbe same. You
most not fret about ns, Maudie,’
she added, aa tbe young lady
tnoved toward tbe door; but Kit
looked only amased an the doer
closed behind her.
‘I bare a notion our worries
• ■ • *
have unsettled your wits, sis,’ he
said with a look of profound annoy
ance. ‘You must know I should
never request nor re.-cive such a
loan from any young woman, and
assuredly not from Maud Kanye
whose refusal is precisely what I
should have predicted, the lovely-
zouave jacket and sundry s|>e-
eious trifles notwithstanding.
L’cople who so zealously thrust
undcsircd trifles upon their neigh
bors are often tbe people who
deny the one thing which would
lie lieneficial and really prized,’ he
concluded, senlenliously.
As he still lingered by the win
dow, his mind reverted to the de
predated young music teacher
who bad never been prodigal of
her neighborly civilities, who had
held herself aloof with gentle dig
uity, and who had nothing to
love but a great green parrot.
‘But even a great green parrot
is pirfer-dde to an insincere
friend,’ he thought.
Just then there was a sound of
footsteps on the stairs outside
then a sweet voice responsive to a
deep bass, which was unfamiliar,
and then a timid little tap upon
the door.
‘Come in,’ the maiden sister
called fretfully from her disturb
ed repose among the sofa cushions.
And at the instant Kit turned
to behold Kate Lenard—a fair,
slim girl with laige, grave eyes
and the calm face of a pictured
Madona.
She was not alone—a prepos
sessing old gentleman held open
the door for her that she might
introduce himself and his errand.
lie was the father of one of her
pupils, she gracefully explained,
and he had come to tender her
neighbors a vacancy in his manu
factory.
‘But the explanation is not com
plete,’ the gentleman said, as he
placed a detaining hand upon the
arm of the girl who, with a beau
tiful blush, had turned to with
draw. ‘You must not lie allowed
to remain ignorant of the sacrifice
Miss Rachel proposed to make
for you. When she became aware
of your difficulty about the rent
she felt a neighborly desire to aid
you, and so she determined to
sell a possession she values a
thousand times more than the
sum my daughter has again and
again vainly offered. But as
much as wc should have liked to
secure the wonderful parrot, neith
er my daughter or myself could
have permitted Miss Rachel to
part from the pet to which she is so
greatly attached—we preferred to
aid you differently and with more
pleasure to a lady whom we have
learned to regard with affectionate
esteem. We have already ad
justed the unpleasant affair with
the agent, Mr. Doiitel, and you
may begin your duties in the
manufactory as soon as yog deem
convenient to yourself.’
And then the prepossessing old
gentleman released the charming
ly embarrassed Raebel, and so
betook bis benign aud satisfied
self away.
‘A friend in need is a friend in
deed,’ Kit quoted with a mis
chievous glance toward bis aroaz
ed and deiighed maiden sister.
‘Do toil her how grateful we arc
to her, Kit,’ came faintly from
the darkened room where the in
valid mother had been sleeping
reslfully until awakened by the
deep bass tones of tbeir benefac
tor.
At the bidding, and with a
strangely commingled sense ot
hesitancy and eagerness, he follow
ed Rachel, who had already re
treated to her own apartment.
He paused on the threshold, he
heheld her bending over the great
green parrot which, with a look of
almost human intelligence was
(leering at the sweet flushed face
all wet with tears.
‘Poor pet,’ she was saying;
‘and yon are all I have.'
But the words were few and
hushed and simple—were eloquent
of her utter loneliness, of her wo
manly capacity ot serving a friend
in need.
With a countenance agitated
by a tenderness no longer control
lable. Kit moved to ber side.
‘You have more than this,
Rachel.’ he began, huskily. ‘You
have what might have been yours
long ago, had you sot been too
sby to listen to the pleadings of
my love for you.’
She hid ber beautiful calm
black eyes and smiled; the sweet
lips tiembled with some magic
utterance, and then he drew her
to his heart and covered the fair
face with happy kisses.
•Our friend in need is to be yet
dearer to ns, mother,* Kit an

Miss Maud Kayne was effusive

claimed that her neighbors had

that they had become disagreca

The Penalties ol Prosperity.
There arc real trials of soul and
spirit that come with prosperity.
The more hardy traits of charac
ter do not always thrive in an at
mosphere of ease, as under eon
stant stimulation ol necessity.
Even when a man earned his mon
ey or his high position by persist
ent effort he may find himself
more slothful and less enduring,
more earthly and less self deny
ing, more duly satisfied and less
high in his ideals in the lap of
luxury than when hc fought for
his life, inch by iueh, with the
stern browed foe despair.
Iu his poverty man dwells upon
the great, good tilings that may be j couraging.
wrought by riches. Too often in
his wealth he finds the small, un
worthy things more potent to oc
cupy his inind. The prosperous
man is sought out hy the tuuiti
tude, is made to feel the falsity of
many things through the trying
test of wealth, is beset and wearied
with an infinity of cares cast iqsin
him and with the cold resentment
of those whs consider every dollar
of his income a dollar taken from
theirs, llis charities arc treated
as a matter of course, his denial
of any petition is magnified into
an evidence ot coutcmplihie mean
ness, his thrift is called penurious
ness, liis generosity extravagance.

A Prosperous Tear Promised.
The prospect for the season just
opening is, without doubt, the
most cheerful one that it has been
the privilege of the Southern peo
ple to witness for many years.
With no political contest to dis
turb the regular current of busi
ness, and an abundant crop of
everything that is needed for home
use or trade, the farmers and
business men have reason, cer
tainly, to be thankful. In Geor
gia there have been no such crops
in the past thirty years as those
which are now promised. The
bureau reports place the average
of the cotton crop in Georgia at
100, which is higher than that ot
any other state except Louisiana,
the average of which is the same.
In addition to a cotton crop
which is estimated at over 7,000,
000 bales, an extraordinary corn
crop, and a more than an average
rice crop, the farmer enters upon
the season with less indebtedness
than usual, partly because every
year is becoming more thrifty,
but chiefly because of tbe bard
times less credit has been extend
ed to him.
Such a state of affairs is grati
fj ing to every one, but it is espe
eially gratifying to the business
men iu the coltou centres who tle-
pend to a great extent upon the
output of the produce of the coun
try. Here in Savannah, the sec
ond cotton |iort of the country,
the business outlook is very eu
Increased terminal
facilities will enable our railroads
to handle double the number of
bales of cotton that they handled
'last year. More cotton will bring
more shipping, to say nothing ol
the advantages to accrue to tbe
general trade.
With tiicse facts before us it is
not unreasonable to predict an
unprecedentedly successful busi
ness season which will add to the
prosperity of all classes of society.
It is a very cheerful prospect to
those who have weathered the
hard times of the past eighteen
months.
The prraent comlltlon of tlic
crops warrants the prediction that
the seasoa of 1885-6 will be re
membered on account of the pros

Bismarck on Eloquence.
Bismarck is no orator. His
speech i9 simple and plain. He
thinks that the gift of eloquence
has done a great deal of mischief
in parliamentary life. It tries by
appealing to tbe feelings to settle
questions which should be settled
by common sense.
Bismarck used to tell a humor
ous story to illustrate the distrac
ting effect of eloquence. Freder
ick William I, the despot king
who publicly whipped his son,
subsequently Frederick the Great,
once listened to tbe pleadings of
two lawyers. After the first one
had finished bis speech tbe king,
moved by tbe advocate’s elo
quence, exclaimed:
“Tbis fellow is in tbe right!”—
The second lawyer then spoke,
and with such effect that tbe
king said: “This man has the
right of it f*

them in check.
The Petition Fraud.
Since the President gave the
public a letter denouncing the
Western politician who signed a
petition which lie did not mean to
carry any weight, these fraudulent
petitions have been aired no little.
It is now being developed, that it
has been a common practice here
tofore for Congressmen to sign pe
titions, and recommendations
which were to be considered as
meaning nothing. One Congress
man is said to have notified the
department that petitions with
his signature in black ink meant
nothing, but if written in red ink
they were to be respected. Sucil
a man is not fit to represent any
body.
But signing petitions and rec
ommendations is not conGned to
congressmen. All classes of men
do more or less of ttiis sort of
signing. Men do not sign these
things in order to promote wrong
or injustice, nor to recommend un
worthy men for office. Y'et their
act at times produces such re
sults. Some men sign because
they do not care to show a prefer
ence for one or another. Some do
not know, nor care wbat they are
signing.
Othirs fear that to refuse to sign
may injure their business. What
ever be the controlling motive in
these matters, men should re
member that petitions so signed
are worthless. In the case of ap
pointments to office, the appoint
ing power is misled, or in case all
petitions are signed by the same
parties, it has nothing more to cn
lighten it than if no petition had
ever been writen.—Bartlesville

The Turkey aud the tlrasshopper.
A Young and guileless Turkey
was Walking in the Field one day
in search of something to stay his
Stomach, when Luck brought him
a fiue, large Grasshopper. He
was about to swallow the Insect,
when the Hopper exclaimed:
“Hold on a Moment my Friend!
What’s the use "D °
small Insect like me when there
are plenty of Hares in the Weeds
just ahead?”
“That’s so, and how foolish I
was!” answered the Turkey as he
let the Hopper go and set out to
find Hares. At the end of half an
hour he leaned up against a barb
ed-wire fence, kicked himself four
teen successive times, and re
marked:
“In the first place I couldn’t
catch a Ilarc, and in the second I
couldn't have eaten one if I had.”

A Pretty Wedding Custom.
Ia the Bermuda Islands there
is a pretty custom of taking up a
very young cedar tree, wrapping
the roots iu paper and setting it
iu the centre of the wedding cake.
The tree is afterwards planted
near the dwellirg of the newly-
married, and keeps the memory
of the happy day ever greeB. The
cake is made in three tiers, the
lowest of which is simply frosted;
the second, which is smaller, is
covered with silver leaf, while the
topmost one, which is only large
enough to hold the carefully pro
tected roots of the little cedar,
has a coating of gold leaf. Only
the lower cakes are cut and eaten.

“Yes, sir. She said she was
