TEN ORE.
KY MARYK. MOFFAT.
“Cotne on, Lenore; it will not
earn us any pennies to stand here
ami shiver,
Lenore picked up her tambourine,
drew her thin shawl closer about her
slight figure-, and followed Luigi,
until they came to a broad, fine street,
and saw at a great, shining, plate-
glass window two curly heads.
Lenore forgot that she was cold
and hungry as she saw the sweet,
childish faces smiling down upon her,
and she sang in a way that even sur-
prised herself,
“Come in, little Missies,” said the
trim nurse, who had followed her
charges in their impetuous rush to
the door. “You will take your
deaths of cold standing iu the
draught.”
“Wait a minute, Ann, till I give
the poor little girl my pennies;” and
Stella ran down the steps, handed
Lenore the money which had been
intended for the purchase of candy,
and said:
“Come again to-morrow, for my
auntie and my new uncle are com¬
ing, and 1 want them to hear you
sing.”
“Thank you, Mrs®;; we’ll come,”
s,,i<1 ‘ ans ' veri "« ”* ! >iace oI !,i
companion, who seemed to have been
struck suddenly dumb, as she stood
with her great, sad, dark eyes fixed
on the sunny, childish face of the lit-
(lo speaker, Come now, Lenore,
wo must bo off. a
Slowly Lenore followed Luigi, a
strange feeling of sorrow tugging at
her heart. She had of late become
more apathetic, and less given to the
the bursts of passionate grief which
had convulsed her small frame when
she had first become an inmate of
the squalid home of the surly Italian,
xvho made a pretence of kindness to
her in public, and hesitated potto ap¬
ply the lash in private, ay hen he
considered that one of her sulky
moods, as he called it, was on her.
Luigi O was no relation to the child; 7
but in his boyish way he tried to
help her in her tasks, and to shield
her if possible from drawing down
upon herself the padrone's anger.
It was several hours before the
pair had finished their wearisome
tramp, and again turned their steps
toward what thev called home. As
thev passed an apple-woman’s stand
a young girl pulled Lenore’s dress
to attract her attention.
“Here is an apple for you and one
for the bov- Granny told me to
give them to you, and to tell you not
to make the padrone angry with you
to-night, as he is in a dreadful way
with the drink, and something’s ‘ gone
™ to make him mad.”
Lenore shivered as she listened
and said to Duitf: “Let’s run
away.”
“but he d find us, and then, when ,
he brought us back, we’d be worse
off than ever,” said Luigi.
“Ivnsl, he’d kill me at once!”
burst out Lenore. “Then it would
be one hurt, and I’d never feel
other.”
“It is dreadful to die," said Luigi,
“and I don’t want you to talk that
wav. It makes shivers run over
me.”
By this time thev were in front
of the door of the tumble-down tene-
ment where the padrone lived. The
sound of his voice could be distinctly
heard, and as the children listened
to his drunken ravings their eyes
met wistfully, as though each was
hoping to gain courage from the
sight of the other's face.
“1 can’t o-o in. He is in one of his
most savage moods. Come, Luigi,
and I’ll ask Bridget Mahone's old
S ram,v to give u S shelter for the
| night.”
Devoted to News, Politics, Agriculture and General Progress.
TOCCOA GA. JUNE 1 1 1886.
Lenore waited not to hear Luigi’s
answer. She started off upon a run,
ami the boy could only follov^ier
reluctantly, well knowning what the
daring act of disobedience would
bring to them in the future.
Granny Mahone gave them shelter
cheerfully. Her kind old heart aeh-
e d for the hapless waifs, and she was
g'kid to share her supper with them,
an(I to let them sta Y under her roof
to escape the fury of their tyrant.
But she shook her head sagely at
Bridget alter they had fallen asleep,
worn out by the day’s experience of
fatigue and hunger.
“The ould ne’er-do-wel’ll make
the childer smart when he gets over
the drink,” she said.
“And sure, Granny, we’ll call in
the periice,” answered Bridget, bel¬
ligerently.
“But the ould scoundrel has the
law on his side,” was the old woman’s
reply. ‘,Sure what can the perliee
do thin?”
Morning came as bright and un-
clouded as though no sorrow dwelt
upon the earth.
Granny Mahone gave the children
their breakfast, and started them out
at an early hour, with the caution not
to tell the padrone where they had
spent the night, emphasizing her
words with: “if ye’s do, honeys,
ue 11 sure come down on me and
make me suffer for it, and then ye’s
niver come to me again.”
After this she felt sure that the !
secret would be kept.
At a suitable hour the young
musicians again stationed them¬
selves before the mansion which held
the beautiful children—Stella and
May.
At the first sound of the hand-or¬
gan their curly heads came in sight
at the window for an instant. Then
in response to something Stella said,
a lady and gentleman came and
looked out, and Lenore commenced
to sing. Just at that moment an
interruption came. The padrone had
come out in search of the children,
and as he was still suffering from the
effects of the liquor ho Lad drank
the previous nigt, he was not suffic¬
iently muster of himself to restrain
his auger. Ho caught Lenore rough¬
ly by the arm and commenced to
question her in a savage tone as to
her whereabouts since he had seen
her. In his excitement he had paid
no heed to the fact that the gentle-
man had left the window, and be-
fore he knew it a hand was laid upon
his arm, and he turned to confront a
surprised and accusing pair of eyes
whose glances overwhelmed him
with sudden panic and confusion.
“At last, Giacomo, I have found
J 011 /’ soid a stern Toice. ‘ I have
s
marched far and wide for you; but
You’ll not elude me any
Here,” he said, motioning to .
policeman, “this man is an offender
r
the , , laws of , , Ins - country, „ and i
aga.nst
1 wish you to take charge of him. 1
, have the : possession •
papers 1 1 in iny
wh.oh , will ... . and
prove my assertion,
will produce them at the propper
time.”
Turning, he saw Lenore, who had
seemed strangely moved at the sound
of his voice.
Their eyes met. A look of amaze-
ment gradually took the place of the
first merely pitying gaze which the
gentleman had fixed upon her; and
when after an effort to recall the
ideas his voice had evolved from
out the misty past, Lenore at last
said, hesitatingly:
“Don’t you know Lenore, your
own little Lenore, Uncle Giulio?”
lie put out his arms and caught her,
rags and all, to his breast, and car-
ried her up the broad stone steps to
where his newly-wade wife, Stella’s
*
auntie, stood.
“It is my brother’s long-lost child,
Mary,” he said, in a voice choked
with emotion. “Who would have
thought that this great joy would
have come to me just at this time!
Truly God is good!”
It was true. Lenore had been
stolen from her home by Giacomo,
her father’s valet. He had conceal-
ed his whereabouts so cleverly that
until now he had escaped discovery.
So, to sweet Stella and baby May,
Lenore owes her rescue from the
cruel fate which closed in about her
young life.
You may at the present day see
an anomaly in Italy; a fine old resi-
dence, whose lodge at the entrance
gates is occupied by a ruddy-faced
Irish womau. A bright-looking
maid-servant often takes an oppor¬
tunity to run down from her young
mistress’s employment to see Gran¬
ny Mahone, who is thus reaping the
interest of her good deed in shelter¬
ing and feeding the two helpless
waifs on that distant night.
Giulio has taken Luixri undes his
especial protection. He has grown
into a fine, intelligent young man.
When his education is completed he
is to marry Lenore, for the chidish
love, which had become rooted in
their young -hearts has grown into
strength with each passing year, uti-
til at last it has blossomed inth that
deathless plant whose amaranthine
bloom has its root in this world, its
fruition in the heavenly garden.
PRIZES FOR NC3L2 CO?4f>UCT.
[From the New York Observer.]
The French Academy recently held
its annual meeting to award prizes of¬
fered for heroism and noble conduct
The instances it noted or ^self-denial
and patient continuance in well-do¬
ing were most praise-worthy, and
convey a much needed lesson, rebuff-
ing and growing selfishness and ego-
Ugm to llHJSe who not on l y 80ek
great things for themselves, but in
gaining their own advancement would
prevent others from engaging in lion
est labor, and disturb many in the
peaceful enjoyment of life. On the
other cases recomptnced by the socL
ety was that of Jean Savignac, a
poor tenant farmer, the father of live
children, a devoted son, sheltering
and supporting his aged parents yet
underterred by these claims from
snaring, when necessity demanded ,
his home with a widowed sister and
her five children. Upon his ur,aided
labor, therefore, were found depend¬
ent two helpless old helpless old peo¬
ple, two ■tvonien and ten children.
Truly here is a practical and unosten¬
tatious instance cf brave and patient
heroism. Other noble lives of wo¬
men were reorganized, who unobtru¬
sively consecrated themselves wholly
to the tender care of the sick, and to
^ Tears of tue and strength to ttns
ChnsWike work, with no other prom-
lse ^compence save that of find.ng
in their turn repose and succor upon

_ Eugenie I lament.
Such an one is
^ twenty-seven years has super-
, chM -^ b i c institution for the
sick at Dunkerque. From the hour
of five in the morning till nine at
night she is unswervingly at her post,
her compensation a most meagre sup-
port, and nothing in prospect for
OJ . infirm i ty but poverty and a
bed in tbe hospital.
A case of romantic and touching
j nteres t in domestic life is that
j canlie Depresle, we give it as it was
rehearsed at tbe session of the Soeic-
*y ou a n remember, gentlemen, the
caustic words of Metastasio, ‘The
constancy of lovers is like the Fhoe-
nix; that it exists, all affirm; but
just where to be found, none can say’
Well, I believe the Acaeemy may to-
day declare this rare virtue found,
v. ’Jeanne now forty years
of age, (was born in the
Vernenil, in the province of
and about the j’ear 1864 was
in marriage by Claude Gagnon,
only son of aged parents,
whole fortune was comprised in
small piece of ground which he tilled
for them.
‘But Claude, unfortunately, was
taken as a conscript soon after and
forced to leavo his home before hav¬
ing exchanged with Jeanne the sol¬
emn vow8 through which her fidelity
during his absence might have been
ensured. In 1868 he died at Phillip,
peville, and surely the soldier who
thus passes away on the lonely hos¬
pital bed gives his life as truly for
his as does he who falls under fire of
the enemy.
‘From the day of the sad funeral
at the little village of Verneuil, Jean¬
ne Depresle followed the gricf-strick-
en, desolate parents to their humble
home. ‘Inasmuch as I would surely
been his wife had he lived,’ she said,
‘I am now his widow, and therefore
your daughter, nevermore to leave
you /
‘A nd there and the reversing the
usual custom, it was the girl who
adopted the parents of her finance,
and firmly rejecting the offers of mar-
riage that have since come to her and
all persuasion that would have drawn
her from her arduous life, for eigh¬
teen years she has remained true to
her conviction of duty,
‘Having enshrined in her heart the
memory of with him whom she would
have been one, she has Jin the truest
sense of the word taken his place and
espoused his duties. Handling the
axe and guiding the plough, faithful¬
ly and skillfully she has cultivated
the little piece of ground on which
the old people depended for support.
For eighteen months now the old man
has been dead, but hts widow survi¬
ves, a prey to a disease that slowly
destroying her life, and no nurse but
Jeanne soothes her hours of pain and
misery. Overcome at times with sud¬
den fear, the afflicted woman erics
aniously, ‘What would become of me
if you should leave me !’ but Jeanne
replies quietly; ‘You needn’t have
no fear of that—was I not Claude’s
promised wife?’
Ocasionl} - Jeanne goes out among
the neighbors, earning thus enough
for her own maintenance, and the tes%
timony concerning her perfect recti¬
tude and honesty 7 of life is universal.
‘In awarding a prize of fifteen hun¬
dred francs to this noble woman, the
Academy seeks to compensate in a
measure the selLabnegation of the
years thus spent, and in so doing
places a laurel wreathe upon the
‘Phoenix of Metastasio. » >j
No one can read this incident of
Jeanne Depresle with out recalling
tfie life of Ruth, as given in the Old
Testament, and we well know that
from the time she said to her mother*
in-law, ‘Where thou goest I will go,
thy people shall be my people and thy
God my God/ these words have been
the key-note of countless lives whose
record is written above.

Love in the Depot.
A woman arrived here the other
afternoon from the East with seven
children in tow, and at almost the
same hour a man reached the same
depot from the North with five otf-
spring of various ages and sizes. She
was a widow and he a widower, and
the children had not been whipped
more thon once around before there
w ‘°* s a t3 f mutual sympathy that
begot adtniiation and then friend-
ship. One of the widow s bovs off-
fered one of the widower s girls a
bite of his fried cake, which was ac-
cepted in the spirit tendered, and a
10-year old girl belonging to ihe wo-
man and soon secured the privilege
of wiping its nose and combing its
hair. Presently the w,dower made

‘We can go to the theater at any

‘These consequences/ answered
John, gravely : ‘Suppose one of the
lions should break out of his cage’

‘All over with me !*
‘Certainly. The lions ain’t blind'
