So as He leads, my path l make.
And step by step I gladly take,

That 1 should do His gracious will

I trust me to my Father’s will t

That which is love ordained as right,

My all to Him resigning. *>

Just as God leads me, I abide,
In faith, in hope, in suffering true ;
His strength is ever by my side—
Can aught my hold on him undo?
1 hold we firm in patience, knowing
That God my life is still bestowing—
The best kindness sending.
Just as God leads, I onward go ;
Oft amid thorns and briers seen,

But in the mid it shall be. seen, %
How, by a laving Father's will,
Faithful and true, He leads me still.

A Child of Darkness.
The following additional particulars
of the case of tlie young lady of nineteen
summers who has never see i tlie light
of day; has never been beyond tl.e thresh¬
old of her father’s house, and for the
past four years has not been permitted
to leave the room in which she sleeps,
are furnished by the Post-Dixmitch of
St. Louis in which city the parties re¬
side.
Henry Richter and his wife were mar¬
ried in the old country about thirty years
ago, and in succession they lost four
children, each of whom came to tho age
of two or three years and then died of
something which seemed like inanition,
They faded away, and the best medical
talent in tlie Grand Duchy— they arc
Badenese—could assign no cause for the
deaths. Richter and his wife came to
America and settled in St. Louis,
lost two more children in the
way. Shortly Wore tlie birth of
present Miobaelofls^bo girl l $ hter aa stopping u,e j TUr ^ uiiTSt.
w (
L*ndS at Jf time, and to him
tu'd the story the blight which had
fallen on his family. The baron was a
member „ . of , a number , of , mystical ... sncie
ties and touched by tlie tale tiff) father
had told him, he cast the horoscope of
the child at the .moment of its birth,
carefully noting the aspects of the plan¬
ets, and making a chart for the future
of the baby, which, at the moment, was
crying in its nurse’s arms. The result
«*»'that the parents resolved
NEWER TO LET THE SUN SIITNE
on their child for fear that it too would
follow the others to the gravo and they
have kept their resolution. A reporter
investigated the case. Tlie father and
mother were induced upon plausible
pretexts to be elsewhere at the chosen
time and the servants were duly bribed.
The reporter w’as to personate a doctor
who bad been sent for and was informed
that the name of his patient was Mar
garetha. Tlie reporter was admitted to
the gas-illumined room in which tlie
young lady whose name is Margaretha
was immured. There were no windows
in the room and the furniture was of
the most costly character, but it may
easily lie imagined the scribe had eyes
for nothing and nobody but the pale
girl at the fireside. She looked fully
her age, 19, but her face was blanched
and white; not a tinge of red could be
made out in the cheeks, although it was
evident enough in the rather full lips.
Her eyes were
blue almost to blackness,
and her hair, which rolled off the cush
ioned back of the chair and fell in
masses on the floor, was black as night,
There was not a feature or a tint to
gest German origin in her face or lithe
forth, and she looked rather sweet and
amiable than pretty, although tier feat
tires were regular enough. . She was
attired in a lac* and frilled white Scrap,
gathered about the waist by tbe strings
of an old-fashioned Ron tag of white
only bit of color in ber dress
I | bejng a blue silk handkerchief wrapped
ne(fljgenfly about ber throat. On the
whole she resembled nothing but a cray
| on pictureltrougbt to life. She seemed
all black and white.
*** did not know 7°" were coming to
day, doctor,” she said, smiling languidly.
“Papa is so thoughtless, and Cathie
(the servant girl) here never opened her
anything. Won’t you sit
d° wn ?” and she indicated a sofa which
almost touched tbe chair upon which
she was sitting.
“Thanks,” sententiously remarked
, the suppositipirs physician, and. taking
the thin white wrist in his hand, the
reporter marked the fluttering pulse of
the imprisoned lady. She was either
feverish or she excited, probably a
little of both, and after a few seconds
be put down the wrist and seated him-

self beside her. “Let me sec your
tongue, please,” continued he, going
through all that he could remember of
the leach's mummery, and the tongue
was obediently exhibited and closely
scanned. “Ah,” sagely observed he at
last, “I see.” !
“Am I going to be sick ?”
“Oh, no, my dear, L think not; we.
will have you all right in a day or two.
I'll have a prescription made up at the
drug store and sent round. Rut you 1
ought to have exercise. You never
leave this room ?”
LONGING FOR IIKLKASE.
“Never, and I will not until after I
am 21. Then I can go out In the sun
light like everybody else. Oh, dear;
sometimes I think I never will be 21.
“But why then and ndt now ?”
“I don’t know. It is in tlie paper
that papa reads all the time that after I
am 21 there will be no more danger fmi
mo. t don’t exactly understand it, but
papa and mamma both tell mo if I once
stand in the beams of the sunlight I
will die surely within a year. 1 don’t
care, though : I would just as soon die,
and I tried to get out. It is four years
ago now, and since then they have
me locked up in my room, sy that I
can’t.
“Have you neyer had any conipan
ions ?”
“Nothing but books, and I’m tirod of
books—I’m tired of myself—I wishjJL
could quit living, Indeed, indeed I’d
rather.”
“How do you pass the time ?” *!
“Oh! I sleep and I read and I eat,
and then for hours and hours I walk
around this room and wonder wh»t is
beyond. Are there many whom the sun
light hurts? I never heard of any, ex
cept in the old stories, who are cooped
up as I am.”
“You poor child—”
“Tell mo what is beyond these 7,'ajd
walls, just near, you know, where I
could go if they would ouiy let me.”
The reporter told the girl as nearly as
he could just what was outside of her
own house, ai.d in her eager quatipning
it was easy to see liow Die bold recital
nmulo he/ syirit3 flutter for freedom.
“And there are trees in ilie park,’? she
said, “hut they are not green now.
No ! This is yet winter and the leaves
do not come until later. I know that,
I know that,”
and so she prattled on,
telling her singular ideas of what-the
great world was, and how people lived,
and a queer melange it was. Fairyland
and Rome and Greece jostled the loco
motive and telephone in her bewildered
mind, and her artless talk made the
bigoted superstition which chained her
in the darkness more revolting than it
' vol| ld otherwise have been. Nearly an

“What for ? I supposed you had one
of t |,e best of husbands,” said the
Major.
“I s’pese that’s what everybody
thinks, but if they knew what I’ve
fered in ten years they’d wonder i
had’nt scalded him long ago. I ought
j to, hut for the sake of the young ones
I’ve borne it and said nothing. I’ve
toid him, though, what lie might de

j won’t stand it, young ones or no young
■ ones ; I’ll have a divorce, and if the
neighbors want to blah themselves
hoarse about it they can, for I won’t
stand it another day.”
“But what’s the matter? Don’t
your husband provide for you? Isn’t
I he true to you? Don’t he treat you
kindly ?” pursued the lawyer.
“We get victuals enough, and I don’t
know but he’s as true and kind as men
in general, and lie’s never knocked none
of us down. I wish he had, then I’d
get him into jail and know where he
was nights,” retorted the woman.
“Then what’s your complaint
him ?”
“Well, if you must know, he's one of
them ptaguey jiners.”
“A whatj?”
“A jiner—one of them pesky fools
that’s always jining something. There
can’t nothing come along that’s dark
and sly and hidden, but lie'll jine it. If
anybody should get up a society to burn
Ids bouse down, he’d jine it just as soon

Poverty of Public Men.
Of the Southern Senators * now in
Washington only Beck, of Kentucky,
and Davis, of West Virginia, it is said#
are possessed of a competency. All the
rest arc poor and mainly dependent on
jtheir salaries for support. Mr. Gordon
. Inis just . , resigned, . , . .
gtwng as a reason*
that he could not afford to serve longer,
Ho has gone home lo engage In busi¬
ness which will increase his income and
enable liim to save something for his
family. Mi. Lamar is said to be jioor,
Hampton lias hard work to make ends
meet. Public service does not seem to
improve their finances.
The times have certainly changed.
Prior to the war several Southern gen¬
tlemen who now occupy seats in Con¬
gress lived altogether ill Washington
during (lie season. The pay was not
greater then than now ; hut tlie cost <f
living in Washington lias increased.
Washington was then a ramshackle
town, with fair hotel accommodations
and no end of boarding-houses, whose
prices were graduated to suit the purses
of patrons. Not very many Senators and
Representatives owned houses then as
compared with tho number to-day. A
family cannot maintain such state in a
hotel, and the physiology of tlie average
boarding-house is not favorable to aris¬
tocratic style. It is 16 be inferred that
persons in moderate circumstances find
themselves at a disadvantage us mat¬
ters are now arranged in Washington.
But it is possible for a family to live
quite comfortable on the salary of a (joii
gressmkn, even id the capital of :the
country. It ail depends on the moral
courage to live within income—which
not too many jieopie possess, and which
the average .Southerner is not so apt to
possess as the homelier sort of folk who
go to Congress from the north and west.
General Gordon is to ho commended
in his act of resignation. What tlie
Mouth needs for twenty years to come is
not politic*, hut men of energy, who are
to tlie manner born, and can wield great
influence by setting the example of en¬
gaging in busiiie. 8. General Gordon
can do a great deal more for the South
as a man of business than lie could do
as a Senator. And the same may he
said of many others from that region
who are said to 1st poor and to need
more than their salaries for support and
provision for their families. The South
needs to awake from its dream of civil
distinction and go to work. It can nev¬
er again wield the political power it trad
liefore (lie rebellion until it successfully
competes with the North and West in
production. Audit must have a varied
industry. It must manufacture cotton,
iron, agricultural implements, and in
fact everything that goes to furnish work
for idle hands. Seats in Congress may
be very pleasant, hut a well-established
prosperity goes further and pays better in
the long run.— Philadelphia Forth Amer¬

The Griffin News of Saturday has been
informed by Hr. Iluoten, of Iiollonville,
Pike county, that a very violent and
damaging hail storm raged near his place
on Thursday about six o’clock in the
afternoon. The hail belt was about a
mile wide, and fora short time the storm
was terrible, It swept oyer the places
of several planters in that section and
cut up tMe corn, aud literally blew down
J a large area of cotton. The bail was
very destructive while it raged, but for¬
tunately for the fanners generally it
covered , hut , , a narrow territory , and , was
soon spent. “These bail storms,” says
tho News, “arc of late years becoming
more frequent and more destructive in
this county.”
