JACKSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY. MAY 27. 1881. VIVA’S LANDLORD. “ Viva, dear, it’s coming near the first of May !” And gentle Mrs. Raynor laid down the coat that was perpetually becoming elbowless, and looked across the lamplit table with anxious eyes. “ Yes, mamma, I know,” a trifle wearily. Viva, a slender, pretty girl, with dark brown hair gathered loosely behind shell-pink ears, and lip 9 red as the cactus flower, met her mother’s gaze with eyes bright with wistful thoughtfulness. “ And we must move, of course,” cried a shrill young voice from the sofa, where sat Jessie, a volatile, evergrown school-girl, “ because the front gate’s off its hinges, and tine roof leaks, and—” “ l r es, Jessie, we all know the reasons for moving, but give mamma an opportunity to suggest whore.” “ There’s hardly much choice about that,” the pale-faced little woman said sadly. “ Some place where the rent would be moderate ; but” —a sudden look of longing shining out of the painworn face—“ 1 would give all the world, dear, to see the country again. I feel stifling here.” A gleam of quick determination came into Viva’s velvety-brown eyes. “ And so yon shall, mamma !” she said, emphatically. “ My darling, how ?” in mild surprise. “ Well”—Viva puckered up her low, white brow, and tried to look wise and business like—“ you see we could get a cottage in some of the suburban villages at half what a city house would cost. Besides everything is so much cheaper in the country, and we could return to the city the coming winter. There !” “ But your pupils, Viva ?” 44 I could manage to give all the lessons in three days of the week—taking the train in, you know, is almost as cheap—and do work for Crumley the intervening days. Now, mamma !” triumphantly. “It looks plausible at first sight, my pet, but I’m almost afraid to hope. Dear, dear! how that boy does wear out his clothes.” Viva came over and clasped two maroon merino arms around the invalid figure before her. “ Hope as much as you like, mamma darling,” she cried, gayly ; “ for we’ll watch the papers till we see a treasure advertised ‘ cheap’—in italics, you know—and then—” The rest was too glorious to describe. Three days later, Viva danced in, out of a blinding April shower, with rose-red cheeks and starry eyes. “ Here it is, mamma,” she cried, enigmatic ally, with a hearty kiss and-hug that almost demolished tiie small figure in the arm-chair. “ Now listen !’^ And from the open paper of that morning, she read aloud; TO RENT—IN SUBURBAN VILLAGE, X Twenty minutes ride from the city, aa eight room cottage, with garden attached. Cheap, to good tenant. Apply to Clifford Chandos, Room 12, 74 E St., City. “ I am sure this will suit— ‘ cheap,’ in italics, as I said, mamma. You will have our happy country lied summer, after all,” with an exultant little laugh. “ Now, for a while, good-bye !” “ Where are 3*oll going, d<far ?” “To see about this, mamma. Lessons are over—” “ Yes, but I do not quite like your going alone, Viva.” “ What! An old-maid music teacher like me ? I almost acquire the dignity of age in this voluminous waterproof and green veil. Green! Just think of it! I might as well have red hair and spectacles. My nervous old darling, I’ll bo back before you know I’m gone.” And with this decidedly sweeping, but scarcely possible assertion, she was out again under the rifting, drifting April sky, and going cityward as fast as the street cars could take her. In the thickest, busiest portion of the city, up two flights of dingy stairs went Viva. A timid knock at Room 12. “ Come in !” She turned handle, and with the green veil well down, went in. Two or three gentlemen, writing at baize covered desks/- looked up carelessly as slie entered, and went on with their work. A gentleman enveloped in clouds of cigar smoke, with feet considerabty elevated above the level of his head, glanced toward tho door, as the graceful figure in threadbare water proof came timidly in. Down came the feet, out went the cigar, and Clifford Chandos, pushing a chair forward, bowed gravely, questioningly, to the lady before him. “ I—l called to inquire about a cottage advertised.” “ The cottage ? Oh, yes, to he sure ! Will you please to be seated, and I will give you the particulars ?” And Viva, taking the proffered seat, listened while the tall, grave man, with straight, black brows and keen, kindly eyes, explained the terms with pleasant courtesj*. And when she lifted the obnoxious green veil a moment, to conclude some necessary FOR THE PEOPLE. arrangement, Clifford Chandos started ever so slightly as ho saw the pretty, girlish face before him, as serene and dignified in its grave, business-like composure as though its owner were eight-andfifty instead of cight and-ten. “ When will you look at the place, Miss—” “ Rayner !” supplemented Viva. “ Miss Rayner. Shall we say to morrow at one ?” “ At two, if as convenient.” “ Certainly. Two, if preferable.” Then he held the door open as courteously as though she wore sealskin and diamonds, while with a quiet grace she bowed slightly and passed from the room. And Clifford Chandos went slowly back to his chair, a softer light in his keen gray eyes, and actually for once in his life forgot to re light his cigar. ****** The day came at last when, from the stuffy city house, the Raynors moved to the pretty, roomy, raftered cottage, where honeysuckle and wild roses straggled at their own sweet will over roof and porch. And Viva, coming home from the dusty city three evenings in the week, pale and tired, brightened and laughed her own low, happy laugh at the sight of her mother’s face —grown young again—at the window, at the sound of Dick and Jessie’s boisterous laugh ter. It was curious all the repairing that cot tage needed after thc3' moved in. It was more curious that their quiet, handsome land lord should insist on supervising it all him self. lie grew into their simplo lives in those days. Mrs. Rayner came to think the cherry voice better than any medicine, the children to shout lustily at sight of him, and Viva to listen for the sound of his firm footstep on the garden path. One evening, when the soft May wind was swaying the “lady-fingers,” as the children call them, over the door, Viva snatched up her hat and strolled down to the pretty rustic gate. Just a little more tired than usual after a desperate struggle to teach an irritably ob tuse pupil the mysteries of crotchets and quavers and demi semiquavers. She stood there, a fair, girlish figure in her soft white dress, a great bunch of blue mea dow-violets at her slender throat and waist. The scented wind gently loosened the dark brown hair and blew a fitful drift of rose bloom into the pure, pale face. Very pretty ? Well, Clifford Chandos thought so, at all events, as he came along the unoven country road with his light, firm footfall. “ Good evening, Miss Rayner !” She turned swldenty, the faint flush deep ening to carnation. * “Good evening, Mr. Chandos !” I think a person can give one a very toler able shake hands without holding one’s fin gers quite a minute. But apparently Mr. Chandos thought differently. “ Miss Rayner, will 3*oll como for a walk —just a little way down the road ? There is a show place there I should like to havo you see.” ' He asked pleadingly, hurriedty, as though fearful of a refusal. “ Is it far ?” “No,” eagerly; “quite near. Besides. Miss Viva, I have something to tell you—or, rather, ask j'ou.” They were already strolling slowly on. She paused and looked up in vague alarm. “To ask me, Mr. Chandos?” “ Yes. Viva, I want to ask }*ou to leave Rose cottage.” Was he mad ? “To leave Rose cottago !” she repeated, blankly. She stopped short, and looked up at him with brown, bewildered eyes. “ Are you not satisfied with us as tenants ? What will mamma say ?’’ “ I did not ask your mother to leave Rose cottage”—and his voice was trembling and low—“ I asked you !” “Me? Why, Mr. Chandos—” She broke off abruptly as she saw the look in the eyes of the man regarding her. Such a look as would make more successful wooers in the world to-day—a look of passionate love and resolute determination to have her in spite of herself. “ Viva, darling— m3’ darling !” he cried, all the mischief in his voice swept away in his fiery earnestness, “won’t you understand? I love you very dearly, Viva, and I want3'du for my wife !” “ Yes—l understand,” she said, simply. “ I am not a rich man, dear, but I would give my life to make 3 T ou happy !” She looked up at him with bright, outshin ing eyes, and though her cheeks flamed hotly, she said, in her gentle, straightforward, girl ish way : “ I would be honored to bo your wife wero you penniless, Mr. Chandos !” “ Mr. Chandos !” stern!j r . “ Little wife, say * Clifford !’ ” And, her hand in his, she said it, simply: “ Clifford!” In a short time they paused before a mas sive entrance gate and pretty gothic lodge. 4 “ This is the great place of the neighbor hood, Viva. Shall we go up and look at it ?” The} 7 paused at the great stone steps of an ideal country-seat, stretching, vorandahod, porticoed, with huge stone lion3 on guard at the door. 44 Como in, dear!” holding out his hand, with a curious smile. 44 But the owner 44 1 go with his permission.” Then, passing the servant at the dour, he led her through rooms where the mighty touch of Midas was softened and made perfect by the mightier touch of taste. Through a con servatory where birds and flowers were drow sily falling asleep, and marble statues gleam ed palely forth from tropical, dusky nooks. 44 It's a handsome place, dear, isn't it!” he asked, when once again they stood ’ncath the darkening sky. 44 Handsome? Oh, Clifford !” with an ec static, long-drawn breath. 44 1 hardly know how much rent I ought to charge you, little woman,” lc cried, quizzi cally, drawing her closer to him; 44 but I'll be moderate. Suppose we say—one thousand kisses per annum !” 44 Yours!” she gasped. ‘‘You said you were not rich.” 44 Well, not Rothschild nor Vanderbilt, love, but,” with a sudden change of tone, 41 richer than all the world, sweetheart, in vou.” So, after all, Viva graces a home worthy of her. And Jessie sententious!}’ remarks: ,4 ’Twas well wc moved.” And Viva nods and smiles as she slips her iLLIe sparkling hand into her husband's lov ing clasp. Resisted. Four young men, clerks and students, whilo on a summer vacation tramp through Northern New England, engaged for a guide to a certain romantic forest waterfall a boy named Forrest Graves. Forrest was a fine, athletic fellow, who could outwalk and out climb any amateur in the mountains, and his moral courage was quite equal to his physical health and strength. After he had guided the young men to the waterfall, and they had satisfied themselves with sight-seeing, they invited him to lunch with them. “ Thank you, I have my own lunch arid the boy went away by himself. Later, when full justice had been done to their repast, and a flask-of brandy had furnished each of the young men with a stimulating draught, Graves was called. “ You must drink with us, if you will not eat with us,” now said the owner of the flask, and the most reckless of the party. “ No, sir, thank )'ou,” was tho boy’s courte ous response. “ But I shall insist upon it.” “ 1 ou can do as you please, and I shall do as I please.” The young man sprang to his feet, and with a bound stood beside the boy, too much ab sorbed in his own purpose to heed the quiv ering lips and flashing c)’es of another. “Now, you are bound to try my brand)'. I always rule.” “ You can’t rule me.” These words were scarcely uttered when the flask was seized and hurled into the stream, where the clinking of glass betrayed its utter destruction. Thon a clear, defiant tone rang out: “ I did it in sslf-defense. You had no right to tempt me. My father was once a rich and honorable man, but he died a miserable drunkard, and my mother came here to live to keep me away from liquor till I should be old enough to take care of myself. I have promised her a hundred time3 I wouldn’t taste it, and I’d die before I’d break my promise.” “ Bravely said. Forgive mo, and let us shake hands. M3' mother would be a happy woman if I was as brave as you. I wouldn’t tempt you to do wrong. I shall never forget you, nor the lesson 3'ou have taught me.” The most reckless was the most generous, and seeing his error apologized frankly. How many boys need to bejeept from strong drink ; and, alas, how man}' men and women ! Who dares tempt them ? Let it not be you and I.— Youth's Companion. A Lie Told by a Finger. Rev. Dr. Deems told the following story to the children of his congregation : A little boy, for a trick, pointed with his finger to the wrong road, when a man asked him which way the doctor went. Asa result the man missed the doctor, and his little boy died, because the doctor came too late to take a fishbone from his throat- At the funeral the minister said “ that the boy was killed by a lie which another boy told with a finger.” I suppose the boy did not know the mischief he did. Of course, nobody thinks he meant to kill a little boy when he pointed the wrong way. lie only wanted to have a little fun ; but it was fun that cost somebody a great deal; and if he ever heard the result of it?he must have felt guilty of doing a mean and wicked thing. We ought never to trifle with the truth. ) TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM, ) SI.OO for Six Months. AY Ouv\\\tYY\VT s. Most of the great Roman families still hold aloof from the Quirinal. Bebel, a member of the German Reichstag, says that “the German people have now only one want, and that is for money enough to get to America.” France is to send a regiment of cavalry,, mounted on camels instead of horses, to hunt up and punish the murderers of Colonel Flatters and his force. It is not strange that writers sometimes get' puzzled in their choice between “ that,” “ which ’ and “ who.” Relatives are always more or less troublesome. 1 he fence between the Bemister and Grace* lanns, near Utica, ip the subject) of a lawsuit. The ground involved is worth about $3, and thus far $3,000 have been spent in litigation. Dr. V ordsworth, Bishop of Lincoln, having inducted Mr. Pelham Dale, a condemned ritualist, into a living, the Archdeacon of the district in which it is situate has resigned. Lord Shaftesbury has organized a societv of theologians and scientists to investigate all philosophical and scientific questions having a bearing on tho truth of the Bible, and to publish results. The ordinance against profane swearing is so rigidly enforced at Avon, 111., that a plain “ damn” is a luxury which costs $3, while fancy oaths can only be indulged in by the ver}' effluent. After thirty years’ absence, Robert Thorn, of Haverhill, Mas3., came home the other day, and his first business was to kick over a tomb stone.that had been erected to his memory man}' }'ears before. The corn fields along the Missouri Valley arc alive with flocks of geese, brant and ducks. They are seen by railroad travelers to rise in flocks of thousands when disturbed by tho noise of the trains. Algiers possesses a river of veritable ink. Two streams, one starting from a region where the soil is ferruginous, the other from a peat swamp, meet and form the river, whoso inky constituency is due to the tqixing of tho iron and gallic acid which the two tributary streams respectively contain. A pair of Cincinnati lovers quarrelled, and the man drew a pistol, saying that he meant to shoot the girl. She quietly told him that he could kiss or kill her, and she cared very little which. lie attempted to do both, first kissing her, and then, while her arms were still about his neck, sending a bullot into her head. An exact counterpart of|the Credit Mobilicr scandal has been unearthed in Canada. Tho Credit Foncier applied to the Quebec Parlia ment for certain privileges and monopolies, which were finally granted them. It is now discovered that all these men who voted in favor of the company had previously received shares of stock in it. They swear that this did not influence their view. A vicar of a country parish in England had occasion lately to remonstrate witli a lowly member of his flock, who had regularly been conspicuous by his absence from the celebra tion of the Holy Communion, for his non-at tendance. Hodge hazarded the excuse that ho didn’t consider himself sufficiently quali fied to attend. “ Why not ?” urged the vicar; “ you have been confirmed.” “Ye 9, sir,” re plied Hodge, “ and vaccinated, too ; but they neither of ’em took.” The Alexandria and Fredericksburg Rail road Company was sued for the value of a mule which one of its trains had killed. Tho testimony of persons who had known tho mule was introduced by tho defep.ee to provo that the beast was idiotic, and did not know enough to get off the track when he saw tho cars coming. It wa3 shown that when tho whistle was blown he “ simply turned his head and stared vacantlj' at the locomotive.” The jury gave a verdict for the company. Quite a serious fight broke out in Wash ington the other day between Commissioner LcDuc, of the Agricultural Department, and Dr. Rile) f , head of the Entomological Com mission, about somo dried bugs aud cater pillars. LeDuc waited on the Attornoy General with a complaint that Riley had stolen certain bugs that 1 ightfully and properly belonged to bis department, and ho called on him to prosecute the entomologist for grand larcen)'. There was a great deal of laughter at the capital over this bug war, but fortu nately the two angry officials were quieted without the scandal of a prosecution. Health Hints. All stimulants, even tea and coffee, act upon the system as poison, and are conse- injurious. For children, a nearly infallible peptic corrective is a fast-day passed in cheerful out-door exercise. The Family Physician says: Digestion requires leisure. Never eat until you can bo sure of leisure for digestion. After rest then “ give an hour of exercise to every pound of food.” Terra alba, or white earth, is used to adulturate white sugars, cream of tartar, and other commonly used articles. Its use tends to produce disease of the kidneys, bladder and stomach. Writes Mr. Labocchere: I arrived at Milan from the Lake of Como. I felt the symptoms of malaria, and, instead of sending for a doctor, shut itself up in my bedroom for two days and two nights, daring which time my only nourishment was lemonade. This regime entirely cured me. Were those who catch any malarial fever to pursue the same course they would find it worth all the prescriptions that doctor ever wrote. Dr. Guillasse, of the French navy, reports that in thfe earfy stages of typhoid fever coffee is almost a specific against typhoid fever. 110 gives it to adults, two or three tablespoonfuls of strong, black coffee every two hours, al ternating with one or two teaspoonfuls of claret or Burgundy wine. The beneficial effect is immediate. A little lemonade or citrate of magnesia should be given daily and after awhile u little quinine. NUMBER 14.
