It surprised the shiners and news-boys around the Post Office the other day to see “Limpy Tim” come among them in a quiet way, and to hear him say : “Boys, 1 want to sell my kit. Here’s two brushes, a hull box of blacking, a good stout box, and the outfit goes for two sbillin’s!” “Goin’ away, Tim ?” querried one. “Not ’zactlv, boys, but I want a quarter the awfullest kind, just now.” “(Join’ on a ’scursion ?” asked an¬ other. “Not to-day, but I must have a 25 cents, ” he answered. One of the lads passed over the change and took the kit, and Tim went straight to the counting room of a daily paper, put down his money, and said : “I guess I kin write if you’ll give me a pencil.” With slow-moving fingers he wrote a death notice. It went into the paper almost as lie wrote it, but you might not have seen it. He wrote : Died—Litul Ted—of scarlet fever; aiged three yeres. Funeral to-morrer, gon up to Ilevin ; left one bruther. “Was it your brother ?” asked the cashier. Tim tried to brace up, but lie could not. The big tears came up, his chin quivered, and he pointed to the notice ou tlie counter and gasped : “—I had to sell my kit to do it, b— but lie had his arms aroun’ my neck when he d—died 1” He hurried away home, but the news went to the boys, and they gathered in a group and talked. Tim had not been home an hour before a barefooted boy left the kit on the door-step, and in the box was a bouquet of flowers, which bad been purchased in the market by pennies ■contributed by the crowd of ragged, but big-liearted urchins.

Don’t Stay Late To-Night. The hearth of home is beaming, With rays so rosy light, And lovely eyes shadows are gleaming, As falls the of night; And while thy steps and are bright, leaving The circle pure A tender voice half grieving, Says, “Don’t stay late to-night." The world in which thou movest Is busy, brave and wide ; The world of her thou lovest, Is in the ingle side. She waits for the warm greeting— Thy smile is her delight. Her gentle voice entreating Says, “Don’t stay late to-night." The world is inhuman. Will spurn thee in thy fall, The love of one pure woman Outlasts and shames them all. Thy Let children dark will cling round thee, fate be or bright, At home no shaft will wound thee— Then. “Don’t stay late to-night.” rrrrrs Miscellaneous. LILLIAS WAYLAND “Oh, Charley, Charley, how could you do such a thing ?” Lillias Wayland’s round cheek was blanched to an unwonted whiteness, as she stood before her brother in the close cramped room which constituted her sole home. Charles Wayland, a handsome, dissipated youth of two or three and twenty, with hold, black eyes, ami a merry mouth that seemed made only to smile, stood opposite her, looking half-repentant, half-defiant, as she spoke. “Lilly, I couldn’t help it. I tell you I was hard up . A fellow must have money. You women doift know anything about the temptations and necessities of the world." “But, Charley,” sho faltered, “do you knoij^niow this same world, as you phrase it, lowts at the deed you have just cominlt t 'od*' Oh, Charley, it is forgery, and her voree grew low and tremulous. “Nonsense, Lil!! its only borrowing a part of old Glencross’ unused riches to aid my needs. I wrote and asked him for cash, and he, the unmannerly lout refused. Well, what could he expect after this, but that 1 should help myself?” Lillias wrung her slender hands. “How dare you, Charley ?

Crawfordville, Georgia, j^ugust 16, 1878. “Is Mr. Glencross at home ?” she asked of the maid servant who answered the summons. Yes, Mr. Glencross was at home, would the lady enter? And Lillias was shown into an apartment curtained with heavy folds of purple satin and carpeted with velvet of the same rich color-an apartment whose dusky splendor made her think of all the stories she had read of enchanted palaces in the realms of fairy land. As Lillias sat on the silken sofa, waiting with a throbbing heart for the appearance of her unknown cousin, the thought stole upon her mind that lie was not so much of a miser after all; then a sort of misgiving came that her mission was all in vain. “For surely,*’ she thought, tremblingly around the elegant apartment, "he will not want any one to make bread or look after the kitchen expenditures ! I wish—oh, 1 wish that I were safe at home aKa Tlie j n ! thought had scarcely framed itself in her mind when n door st thc fsrtlicr end Of the room was opened, and a tall, hand some man, scarcely thirty years of age, 1 JT , 8 y T Purd0n ’ sir ’’’ faltcred , Lillias, all in a flutter, “but 1 wish to see i Ir. Glencross. ’ I am Mr. Glencross.” “You !” Lillias rose up and sat down again, coloring vivid scarlet. This, then, was their “far off cousin,” and how widely different from their dreams and fancies ! 'Apparently the gentleman saw and pitied her painful confusion, for he said, politely : “May I ask in what manner I can be useful to you ?” “I am Lillias Wayland,” she answered in a tone scarcely audible. “Wayland.” A shadow, faint yet distinct by percept ible, overspread his face at that word, and Lillias saw with a failing heart. She forgot that he was no silver-haired patriarch, but a handsome young man surrounded with all the adjuncts of wealth and luxury. She remembered only poor Charley and het own sickening idea of debt, disgrace and ruin, sinking on her knees at his fett, slio sobbed out her pitiful story. “IIo is so youne,” she wailed, “so young ; surely you will not refuse to give him another chance for name and fame! I will work and toil for you until the hundred pounds are paid. I will be a servant, a seamstress—what you please, only promise mo that you will not visit him with the penalties of the law !” Her voice died into quivering silence, hut her eyes still annealed. r’Kisc.

What must I do ? For if I cannot repay tho money in some shape or other I shall die of shame and mortification !” “I will take tnu matter into considera¬ tion,” said Mr. Giencross, gruvely, yet not without a certain gleam of amusement in the corners of his mouth at the idea of that 1>r<!tty > slender creature rendering up to him the equivalent of a hundred pounds, “ An<1 now cousin Lillias—for I believe > we lnly clai,u relationship, although it is «°»ewhat dKtant-I shall insist upon you remaining as my guest for a while.

Upon my word, this 'ittle new cousin is an acquisition. » ' When Lillias wrote her happy letter home £ba£ night, Mr. Glencross added a pleasant postscript, and Charley Wayland knew that his season of perii was over - Lillias had been nearly a month the guest the stately old lady in black silk and Valenciennes lace when one day Paul, coming suddeniy ,uto the purple twilight of t ^ ie drawing-rooms, found her sitting all a * onc > ^ith teardrops glittering on her Pearly cheek. “Why, Lillias, what is the matter ?” “Nothing, Paul,’’—they had grown to be good friends by this time—“only I have been dreaming very pleasantly, and the time of wakin 8 ^ come at last.” “You mysterious little spinx, what on earth doyou mean ? She colored, and cast down her eyes. “The hundred pounds, Paul—they are yet to be paid. No—don’t interrupt four Jmc, I cannot consent to indulge generous irapulses. I must r«.y you ; and there is no otber wa ^or me than to ^k a situation as governess, bo Paul, I have written an advertisement, and if you will be so kind as send it to the office of one of the daily pape»-” “Give it to me !” he interrupted. confidingly in his hand; he t tore it deliberately into strips. “Paul!” she cried in amazement. “Lillias, this is all nonsense. If to pay me, you can.” “ But| Paul you know 1 hav(! nothing in > the world!” “You have yourself—to me the most precious gift the aforesaid world contains.” “I don’t understand you.” “Must I speak plainer? Well, then, Lillias, give me yourself. I love you, darling, and would fain make you my wife. Are you content to pav me in this coin?” “Oh, Pa,!." she faltered, “I never dream cd of so ascii happiness." And so Lillias Wayland’» indebtedness was settled most satisfactorily.

The stranger's face betrayed keen disappointment, as he ordered a rousing big “mint” for himself, and not a word was spoken in the place while ho slowly sipped the cooling liquor through a straw.

Robert E. lxic, arrived here a few days since in company with some lady friends from Malta, who registered at the above named hotel. It appears that during the night of tho 8th Inst., the raosquttor bar round the bed ignited accidentally from a candle, which Miss Lee had lighted. In a few moments the flames spread and caught the lace curtains, and the room was soon enveloped in flames, which Mils Leu herolcally endeavored to suppress but with out success, and fearing that the hotel might bo burned, she gave the alarm of fire, whlch soon was heard by some gentlemen, who were occupying rooms on the same and :ri,: Mr. W. w A. rrr Clark, tz of Columbia, ' i r? S. C. were the first who came to the rescue of Miss Lee, and succeeded in saving her money and valuable jewelry from the flames. Tho morning following tho fire, Miss Lee expressed her willingness to pay all damages, though the fire had occurred from accident. Tho proprietor taking advantage, of the lady, demanded 2,000 francs, which was a preposterous and enormous charge for the damage. A gen¬ tleman from Ohio, a Mt. Poland, a guest cf the hotel, who has been Vice-President of an insurance company for a number af years, estimated the damage at 870. The friends of Miss Leo at once demurred to this enormous charge. The American Consul Lonsu!, Mr. Mr Duncan, Duncan at at this this nlaea place was was ox- ox ccedingly kind, and protested against the payment of any such sum. The proprietor now being foiled in his disgraceful effort to overcharge for damage aecurring from dent, become insolent and spoke in a man ner which reflected upon Miss Lee. The insult was quickly resented. Mr. Clark, of Columbia S. C., struck him over the head with an umbrella. In a few moments the proprietor was surrounded by a number of Italians who were clerks, waiter and at tachecs of the hotel, but they were met by Judge Melton, Col. John T. Sloan, Jr. Mr. D. A. P. Jordan of South Carolina, and Dr. J. B. Roberts, of Georgia, who by their courage and determination caused them to stampede and call for the police. A large crowd soon assembled about the hotel. The proprietor was denounced by Col.
