In the long run fame finds deserving man. The lncby wight may prosper for a day, But in good time * rue merit leads the van, And vain pretence, unnoticed, goes its wsy. There is n© Chance, no Destiny, no Fate, But Fortune smiles on those who work and wait. In the long run. In the long run all godly sorrow pays. There is no better thing than righteous pain; The sleepless nights, the awful thorn-crowned days, Bring sure reward to tortured soul and brain. Unmeaning joy a enervate in the end, But sorrow yields a glorious dividend In the long ran. In the long ran &U hidden thingB are known. The eye of Truth will penetrate the night, And, good or ill, thy secret shall be known, However well ’tie guarded from the light. All the unspoken motives of the breast Are fathomed by the years and stand confessed In the long ran. In the long ran all love is paid by love. Though undervalued by the hearts of earth; The treat eternal Government above Keeps strict account and will redeem its work. Give thy love freely ; do not connt the cost; So beautiful a thing was never lost In the long ran. W. F. TURNER, Attorney at Law. CEDARTOWN, GA.

It’s a case of life and death ! ” Mrs. Wintringham had sent Josephine Moore away, in order that she might be effectually out of Dr. Aymer’s path; but Fate and Mrs. Wintringham were marshel- led on opposite sides this time, and that rising young physician walked into Josie’s sickroom quite unconscious whom he was to behold. George Ayrner started a little when he looked into the dark brown eyes; but Josie smiled up in bis face. “It wasn’t my fault,’’she said, innocent ly. “I never dreamed of offending Mrs. Wintringham, but it was wrong, very wrong of her to turn me out of doors. ” “You see she is delirious,” exclaimed Aunt Mary. “Yes” said Dr.'Aymcr in a faltering voice; “I see.” So while Miss Octavia Wintringham lounged in the handsome drawing room, dressed in silk attire, watching the gilded hand9 of the clock, and wondering why the expected did not come.

Qualities in animals which are the re sult of breeding tend to die out—that is, the animal reverts to his earlier and longer established characteristics. The mustangs of Mexico are descendants of domesticated horses, which, having wandered from the Spaniards, gradually reverted .to their primitive typo. The shorter the time in which new qualities have been cultivated, the stronger the reversional tendency. It is somewhat the same hygienically. A per son would have a pei fectly healthy organ ism if the sum of the forces operating with in his ancestors had always been on the side of physiological soundness. If such a one were attacked with disease from some external causes, his system would rapidly eliminate the disorder and revert to its wonted state.

He saluted us with a blessing and then made us enter. When we did so, and he found I knew Italian, he said he was very glad to see me, and thanked my companion for having brought me. He said he understood I was interested in philoso phy, and I replied, “Yes, especially in that of Aristotle.” This drew from him a very warm eulogium of Aristotle, to all of which I most fully agreed, hut meauwhilo I was trying to make up my mind about the Pope’s persona! appearance. I had seen, I think I may safely sav, thousands of portraits of him. I now found that not one of them gave any notion of his living presence. Leo XIII, if not a handsome man, is certainly a very imposing one. He is about middle height, straight, thin and wiry, with some thing of the ascetic look of Cardinal Man ning, only in a less degree. There is a peculiar curve in his eyes and mouth, and his nose is very large and prominent. Hts manner is thoroughly regal, free, easy and confident. He speaks with great dignity and fluency, and with long, almost hexa- metric, cadence. He gives the impression of being a man of tremendous will, coupled witli gentlemanly prudence. He was dressed, when I saw him, in white, with out adornment of any kind, save a number of very large rings on his fingers. As soon as he had finished his panegyric on Aris totle, I took occasion to say that I wished to thank him for his encyclical restoring the philosophy of St Thomas. This was exactly the right chord to touch, and my friend nodded assent. The Pope, taking me by the arm with his lett hand and raising his right in the air, burst out into a real flow of enthusiasm. •‘■Questa mia en- ciciica,” he began, and I shall never for get the satisfaction with which he empha sized the mia. I had often hoard that he was very proud of his ency- clitcal zEterni Patris, but I had no notion that the mention of it by a heretic would call forth so much eloqueuce. He spoke for I should think, ten minutes, with real inspiration, of the great value of St. Thomas’ philosophy, of its depth, unity aDd conformity to revealed truth, of the motives that induced him to issue his ency clical, of the favor with which that document had been received in all parts of Europe, and even America, and of the good he hoped would result from it. Then placing his right hand on my shoulder he inquired how long I had been in Rome and how much longer I meant to remain. W ben, in answer to the second of these questions, I said only a few days, he looked at me very kindly and Eaid: “But yon mean to return, surely,” I replied, “Very probably,” Then bo said; “Yes, yes, you must return in the autumn and study St. Thomas and Aristotle along with my professors and with the same aim. You will help them and they will help you.” He then went on to say that his great aim was to' place philosophy on a sound basis, and to gather round him in Rome a number of profound thinkers who should thoroughly discuss ail difficult ques- tions and bring as many of them as possi ble to a definite solution. With this view he had founded an academy of Thonustic philosophy which, he had hoped, would he of great service. When I told him I had been present at the inauguration of that institution, and had listened with much pleasure to the speech of his brother Cardinal Pecci, he seemed j .\nfi the case for the prosecution greatly pleased, and invited me to attend a c ] ose( j the iustice inquires!; philosophi' al dispute soon to be hsld m the. »qj a ve you any witness for the defence?” liorary of the Vatican, at which he inten-, ..j wiM - call H e Ze kiah Mangle, ” I replied, ded himself to be present.

I took the hint and came at once to busi ness, repeated Gilbert’s offer and put it as strongfy as possible that more was to be gained by leniency than harshness—all of which Mr. Mangle listened to with a con scientious scowl. “I cannot be a party to a compounding felony, ” he answered with a solemn intona tion.” “Nor have 1 asked you to,” I replied, not a little nettled. “I have merely men tioned a plan of paying back your own, leaving it to your generosity to press or not to press this prosecution.” “Oh, it is all the same,” was the con temptuous rejoinder—“anybody but a law yer with his head full of quibs and quib- lets could see that. Besides there is some thing rather cool to retain your friend in our employ under pretence of working out the money he has stolen, with the oppor tunity of filching twice as much in the meantime.” I felt my temper rising, and not caring to imperil my client’s interest by an out right quarrel, I took a hasty leave. Had I been in the prisoner's place on the morning fixed for the trial 1 could hardly have ascended the court-house steps with more reluctance than I did. And when I entered the court-room and found Gilbert and his wife already there, and noted the hopeful look with which the latter greeted my coming, I sickened at the thought of the bitter disappointment coming. “The people vs. Gilbert,” called out the judge, after disposing of some formal mat ters. A jury was immediately impanelled and the case opened by the district attorney. .Mr. Meek was the first witness. The nervous, hesitating manner in which he gave his evidence would have greatly dam aged the effect it it had not evidently arisen from a disposition to do the prisoner as little hurt as possible. But no soften ing could break the terrible force of facts be was compelled to relate. In the partner's absence he had employ ed George Gilbert as clerk; had found him competent and trustworthy; had sent him on a trip to make collections; after receiv ing a considerable sum, he was induced by a respectable looking gentleman to whom he laid casually fallen in to join a social game of cards; at first they played for amusement, then for money, and after losing ail his own, in the hope of retrieving his loss, with tiic fatal infatuation of that dreadful vice whose end is swift destruction lie had hazarded and lost the last dollar he had in trust for his employers. Mr. Meek’s voice faltered as he closed •I will go,” said Lucina Fairman, one of the neighbors’ little girls, who had just run in. “I will go, Mrs. Stebbins, if Becky will go with me ” “All right,” said Becky, who was Mrs. Stebbins’ sister-in-law, a stout buxom girl of fifteen. “I will be ready in one minute: You are real kind to take so much trouble, Lucina, I should have gone my self hours ago, only I didn't know the way, and I don’t know spearmint from any other plant or weed.” “I should as soon go alone as not,” said pleasant little Lucina, “only I rather dis like to go past the hurying ground in the twilight—poor grandfather's grave looks so lonesome, with the grass not yet green over it.” Becky stood near the door, tying on her sun-bonnet; but just then she palled it off and throwing it into the nearest chair, said decidedly: “I have changed my mind! I won’t go a single step!” “Oh, how perverse in you, Becky!” ex postulated Mrs. Stebbins, beginning to rock and groan anew, while little Lucina stood by, watching her for a moment, and then said: “How foolish in me! I am ashamed of myself! If grandfather were alive, I am sure he would be ashamed of me. There are many lonesome things to be met with in a lifetime,” and seizing a small basket, she ran oat into the gloaming and across the mowing lot toward the brook as fast as her small flying feet would carry her. “Sheis one in a thousand!” exclaimed Mrs. Stebbins. “She is accommodating and kmd-hearted and sensible, and puts her own inclinations by when they conflict with the needs of others. How unkind of you, Becky, not to go with the poor little soul!” But Becky had slipped out, and a min ute or two later Mra. Stebbins saw her pass the kitchen-window with a white bundle m her arms. Lucina had been gone barely fifteen min utes when Mra. Stebbens heanl her flying feet coming up the plank-walk to the kitchen-door The small basket crowded full of spear mint, was thrown into the room, and oblig ing little Lucina fell upon the floor, white and limp, in a dead faint. Mrs. Stebbias sprang from her arm chair, and, lifting the insensible, girl placed her upon her own bed, and proceeded to bring her out of her faint by every means in her power. As soon as her eyelids liegan to quiver, in indication of returning consciousness, the good woman said: “Whatever you may think you have his narrative.

Becky was penitent enough, and her shame and sorrow and anxiety changed her from a rude, mischief-loving girl to a quiet, helpful, sensible young woman. Mrs. Stebbins didn’t have rheumatic fever.

A popular Macon mmister recently- passed the night thirty miles below Ameri cas with a backswoodman, whose house contained only two rcom9. The family however, consisted of twenty -one though, owing to a dance in the neighborhood,only seventeen of the children were at home. The minister spent the night with the father and seven sons in one room, while the old lady and ten daughters occupied the other. In the morning a junior member ol the family, m response to an application for a washbowl, brought him to an old rusty tin pan, and after the face toilet was oomplste, hunted up about seven teeth of an old tucking comb for to him arrange his hair tfith. During the progress of this im portant ceremony the following conversa tion between the two took place: “Mister, do you wash every morning?” “I do." “And comb vour ha’r too?” “Yea.” “Wail, don't it lock to you aomadmoa Uka you la a heap of troubla to youraaU?” No lawyer likes going to court with a thorougldv had case, yet how can he help it, sometimes? 1 should have more patience with the question, “Do you ever think it light to defend a man whom you believe to be guilty?” were it less frequently put by peo ple who spend six days in the week seeking to get the upper hand Of their neighbors, and the seventh trying to circumvent their .Maker. To the honest inquirer, I com mend the answer Dr. Johnson once gave to Boswell: “Sir, the lawyer is not the judge.” Was it my place whan George Gilbert s little careworn wife came with tears glis tening m her eyes to beseech me to do what I could for her imprisoned husband, virtually to turn my back and leave her tired, troubled heart to break or not as it might? I was neither a priest nor a Levite the happy little wife. “I knew you would bring us out all right. ” It was evident the truthful woman’s na ture gave me all the credit of the result in whose achievement my share had been next to nothing. The lesson was not lost on George Gil bert. His first false step was the last, and the richest fee I ever received was the heartfelt gratitude of his noble, faithful wife. _ Where tn* Lo«* A young man who belonged to an excur sion party visitng Detroit called at the City Hall to make complaint to the Chief of Pa* lice that he had been rolJved of his watch. Arab Augaries. The Bedouins take auguries from birds. A single raven in ones's path is a very bail token, but two are extremely lucky. They say Akbdharegn Falan zein—Two green (i, e., black) vnes a fair omen. The Bedouins have many other superstitions about ani mals. The superstition as to the flesh of the rock badger, which Palmer noted in the Peninsula of Smai, is unknown here; but there is a similiar idea about the mon- kef s which frequent Mount Kara. These, it is said, were once men who came to visit the Prophet. He set before themjmilk and water, directing t hem to drink the former and perform their ablutions with the lat ter. The perverse visitors drank with the water and washed with the milk, and were transformed to monkeys for their disobe dience. As they were once men, their flesh is not eaten. The legend is closely akin to what one reads in the fabulous his tory of early Arabia about Nasnas and the Wabar in the great sandy desert. Both these words are monkey names, quite cur rent in the present day, though not recog nized by the lexicons. The latter is an ape, the former a monkey with a tail. Ex cept in this monkey story, I could find no trace of the superstitious rejection of the flesh of any animal. But some kinds of fish have a magical virtue attached to them.
