An old woman with silvery hair, brushed smoothly away from her wrinkled forehead, and snowy cap tied under her chin ; a sad, quiet face; a patient mouth, with lines that told of sorrow borne with gentle firmness; and two with ered, tired hands, crossed. That was all. IV ho, looking at the sleeping form, would think of love and romance, of a heart only just healed of a wound received long, long years ago. Fifty years she had lived under that roof, a farmer’s wife. If you look on that plate on her coffin-lid you will see “Aged 70” there, and she was only 20 when John Phillips brought her home a bride. A half century she had kept her careful watch over her dairy and larder, and made butter and cheese and looked after the innumerable du ties that fall to the share of a farmer's wife. And John had never gone with bnttonless shirts and undarned socks ; had not coinc home to an untidy house and scolding wife. But underneath her quiet exterior there was a story that John never dreamed of. She did not marry for love. When she was 19, a rosy, hap py girl, a stranger came on a visit to their village,, and that summer was the brightest she ever knew. Paul Gardner was the stranger’s name ; he was an artist, and fell in love with the simple village girl and won her heart; and when he went away in the autumn they were betrothed. “ I come again in the spring,” he said. “Trust mo and wait for me, Mattie, dear.” She promised to love and wait for him till the end of time, if need be, and with a kiss on her quivering lips he went away. Spring time came, and true to his word Paul returned ; he stayed only a day or two this time. “ I'm going away in a few weeks to Italy to study,” he said. They renewed their vows and parted with tears and lender, loving words ; he put a tiny ring upon her finger, and cut a little curly tress from her brown hair; and telling her always to be true, he went away. The months went by, and Mattie was trying to make the time seem short by studying to improve herself so that she might be worthy rf her lover when he should come back to make her his wi f e. One day she glanced over a news paper, her eyes were attracted by his name, and with white lfys and dila ted eyes she read of Ids marriage to another. “Married! Taken another bride instead of coming back to marry me ! Oh, Paul! Paul! 1 loved and trusted you for this?” She covered her face with her hands and wept bitterly. An hour afterward, as she sat there in the twilight, she heard a step on the gravel walk, and looking up saw John Phillips coming up the steps. lie had been to see her often before, but had never yet spoken of love, and had received no encourage ment to do so. lie was a hard-working fanner, with no romance about him. but matter-of-fact to the core. 11 is wife would get few caresses or tender words. He would be -kind enough— give her plenty to eat and wear. Now he seemed to have come for the express purpose of asking her to be his wife ; for he took a chair be side her, and, after the usual greeting —reserving scarcely a moment to take breath in, began in his business like way. There was no confession of love, no pleading, no han 1 clasping, no tender glances ; he simply wanted her ; would she be his wife ? Ilcr lips moved to tell him she did not love him ; but, as she let fall her e\ r es from the crimson hearted rose that swung from the vine over the window, she caught sight of those few lines again. “Married?” she said to herself. “ What can Ido ? He doesn’t ask me to love him. If I marry him I can be a true wife to him, and no one will know that Paul has jilted me.” The decision was made. Iler cheeks were ashy pale as she looked up into his eyes and answered quiet ly : “ Yes, I will be your wife.” Her parents were well pleased that she was chosen by so well-to-do ayoung man ; so it was settled, and they were married in the same summer. People thought that she sobered down wonder fully ; more than that, nothing was said that would lead any one to suppose that any change had taken place. Yes, she had sobered down. She dared not think of Paul. There was no hope ahead. Life was a time to be filled with something so that she might not think of herself. John was always kind, but she got so wearied of his talk of stock and crops and said to herself, “I must work harder, plan and fuss and bustle about as other women do, so that i may forget and grow like John.” Two years went ln\ A baby slept in the cradic, and Martha —nobody called her Mattie but Paul—sat rock ing with her foot as she knitted a blue woolen stocking for the baby’s father. There was a knock at the half open door. “ Will you he kind enough to direct me the nearest way to the village ?” said a voice, and a stranger stepped in. “Paul J” FOR THE PEOPLE. “ Mattie !” ll is face lighted up, and he reach ed out his arms. With a surprised painful look she drew back. “Mr. Gardner, this is a most un expected meeting.” “ Mr. Gardner!” he repeated; “ Mattie, what do }-ou mean ?” “Don’t call ino Mattie, if you please,” she replied, with dignity. “My name is Phillips !” “Phi'.l ps !” be echoed. “Are you married ?” “ These arc strange words from you, Paul Gardner; did yon think I was waiting all this time for another woman's husband ?—that I was keep ing my faith with one who played false so soon ?” “ Played you false ! I am come as I promised you. The two years are but just passed, and I am here to claim you. Why do you greet me thus ? Are you indeed married, Mat tie Gray ?” She was trembling like an aspen leaf. For an answer she pointed to the cradle. lie came and stood be fore her with white face and folded arms. “ Tell me why you did this ! Didn’t you love me well enough to wait for me ? ’ She went and unlocked a drawer and took out a newspaper. Unfold ing it and finding the place, she point ed to it with her finger, and lie read the marriage notice. “What of this?” he asked, as he met her reproachful glance. “Oh. Mattie! you thought it meant me. It is my cousin. lam not married, nor in love with any one but you.” “ Are }'ou telling the trutli?’’ she asked, in an eager, husky whisper. And then, as he replied, “It is true,” she gave a low groan and sank down into a chair. “Oh, Paul, forgive me! I didn't know you had a cousin by the same name. I ought not to have doubted you, but ’twas there in black and white—and—this man, my husband, came, and I married him.” Witu bitter tears she told him how all happened. With clenched hand lie walked to and fro, then stopped beside the cradle and bent over the sleeping child. Then he turned and, kneeling be fore her, said in a low voice; “ I forgive you, Mattie ; be as hap py as you can.” lie took both her hands in his and looked steadily, lov ingly into her face. llis lips twitch ed convulsively. “ I have no right here—you are another man’s wife. Good-bye, God bless yon.” And she went down on her knees beside her sleeping baby and prayed for strength. They never saw one another again. Seventy years old ! Iler stalwart sons and bright-eyed daughters re member her as a loving, devoted mother, and her gray haired husband as a most faithful wife. “ Never was woman more patient and kind, and as good a housewife as ever was,” lie said as he brushed the back of his old brown hand across his eyes while looking down on the peaceful face. And not one of them ever knew of the weary heart and broken hope that had died in her breast, not even dreamed of the sad load she had borne through life. A True Cause for Regret. It makes the heart of every philan thropist sad to sec so many worthless patent medicines puffed and advertised for the cure of chronic diseases. Usually the remedy is some vile cathartic compound or alcoholic pre paration, combined with buchu, tur pentine or other severe .diuretic that affords the invalid only temporary relief, but which lias no lasting effect, and in truth eventually brings on a complication of diseases arising from a state of wornout and exhausted digestive and urinary organs that nothing but death can relieve. In valids should trust more to nature for their recovery. A gentle medicinal tonic that stimulates enfeebled diges tion and strengthens every part of the system by its soothing and refreshing effect on both mind and body, is nature’s truest and best assistant. -Such a remedy is Brown's Iron Bitters, a medicine surpassing the saic of all other remedies whenever its merits become known, for it acts in such perfect harmony with the laws of life and health, that all pulmonnry, urinary and digestive troubles are prevented and permanently cured by its timely use. It contains no alcohol, and will not blacken the teeth. Physicians and ministers endorse and recommend it. The Future of Cotton. There are some who hold that the late war was partly waged to dethrone cotton as a king. That monarch was certainly a powerful one in the days of slaverj', and, it ba3 never been de nied, affected our politics and history and did much to frame our legislation. The war is over now ; but cotton is a king again, as powerful, nay more powerful than he was in the good old times. If the South, by virtue of the production of a crop worth $200,000,- 000, was then great in the councils of the nation and the markets of the world, how ranch more powerful must it be to-day with a crop worth $300,- 000,000, which it will make worth sl,- 000.000.000 when it shall have been obtained, as it certainly will, a mo nopoly of the manufacture of cotton goods. A repreaentative of a Northern pa per, in the very' heart of that district now rolling in wealth, gained by trans forming the great Southern staple into cloth, the Boston Post, after a tour through only a small portion of the cotton belt, and by no means its most promising section, is filled with won dcr at what he has seen, at the facts and figures shown him, and is almost ready to bow in worship of the sup posed dethroned king. There are fortunes, immense fortunes to be made in cotton, he asserts; there is no field offering such promise to the man of energy as the wtiite fields of our South ern land; there is no such opening in the wide expanse of the Union as the thorough and sensible cultivation of this staple and its manufacture into cotton goods on Southern soil. The Post correspondent is as earnest on this latter point as the Democrat. lie scouts the weak suggestions of some would be political economists that the Southern people are not adapted to factory work ; and cites one irrefuta ble, overwhelming argument in favor of Southern cotton mills, the argument of profit, that the 250 cotton factories south of the Potomac yield average dividends of 22| per cent. A Massa chusetts man himself, lie confesses that the glory of his own State, that which makes its rocks richer than the best quartz of Nevada's bonanza, must soon pass away to the South. This has long been threatened ; what will bring it about effectually and quickly will be the Atlanta Exposition. It must be conceded that the Southern people are a little old fashioned in the cultivation of cotton. There is no need of seeking explanations for this, they are so numerous; the careless ness of the negro, the interruptions of the war, the cheapness of lands—all these have made cotton planting loose, careless and improvident.’ While the West has a hundred different cultiva tors, mowers and harvesters to aid its farmers, so that on the great wheat farms, like that of the Dalrymples in Minnesota, two-thirds of the work is done by steam, cotton is cultivated in the most simple manner, with muscle and hoe and plow, showing but little improvement since the days of Abra ham, if we except only the cotton gin. Of late, in the Carolinas and Georgia, there has been some slight improve ment. Cotton is more carefully cul tivated there, and there is less waste, and more fertilizing and care. The result has proved so successful that our farmers are compelled to admit that cotton is a plant which it pays to cultivate closely and carefully, a fact long doubted and denied. There are many other ideas and tricks about cotton plauting, current in different sections of the country, which would benefit the whole South if they were only better and more generally known. The Atlanta Exposition is expected to do all this, when the intelligent Southern farmers meet to talk these questions over, when they see, tried practically before them, the various plans of planting and raising cotton, the cultivation of this staple will lake a step forward, which, under other circumstances, would have required a score of years. The study of the various kinds of machinery for cotton planting, harvesting, ginning and man ufacturing will undoubtedly brighten the intellect of the mechanic and in ventor, and may—we certainly hope it will—suggest the missing point needed to perfect that engine, so necessary to the cotton fields, aud which will work as great a revolution in the history of cotton as did the gin —the picker. There will be a score or more of patents fer pickers exhibit ed. Who knows but what in one of these will be found the long sought for machine, or that it will at least suggest the idea for it to some inventor. We do not think we are expecting too much when we hope for all this from the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, when we believe that it will bring forth ideas that will make cotton a greater king than ever;*w peaceful king, however, with the Midas power of turning every thing it touches into gold. —New Orleans Democrat. Many who long suffered from nerv ous debility would now be in their graves had they not used Brown’s Iron Bitters. Death as An Element in Politics. Mr. Seward once said that there was an element in politics we did not sufficiently take into our calculations —death. What part death has played of late among these bus}’ aspirants for great honors and powers! Here is Conkling, twice defeating Blaine for President, and. in turn, dispossessed hy Blaine, who rises tothe head of the Cabinet, and before he has become ac quainted w'th the duties of his office death steps in and takes the President, and behold Conkling’s friend takes tiro Magistrate’s seat. Cornell, the son of a wealthy man, who had nearly created Mr. Conkling and made him Senator, harbors the passion to be Governor of New York, and he finds himself antagonized by a young law yer named Arthur, the pet of old Gov. Morgan, who is drawn out of the tomb of the Capnlets and given the nomina tion when Cornell might have got it Smarting from this unexpected opposi tion from his equal in years and youth. Cornell at last reached the Governor’s place, and takes the earliest occasion to put the seal of his Magisterial au thority on Gen. Arthur and his friends, vetoing their bills and stigmatizing them as corrupt, and then he defeats the same Arthur’s candidate for the Senate and throws him back on his empty office of Vice President with contempt.. Meanwhile disgusted that such a national honor should ever have fallen upon such a rival, behold a tramp comes out of the street, fires a bullet and the President ofthe United States disappears, and in his place stands Mr. Arthur, the head of the whole Nation, while Mr. Cornell is but Governor of New York.—“ Gathf in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr. alter F. McCunc, of Pitts burg. Pa., writes; “My age is 28 years. I was born with an excellent constitution, but at the age of 19. hav ing just finished my collegiate educa tion, I fell into habits of dissipation. After six years of fast living I felt ray constitution broken down. I put my self under the care of one of our best physicians. 11 is treatment seemed to do me no good. Finally he said at best I could live but a few j’ears, that my bowels, kidneys and lungs were all threatened with consumption and were fast wasting away in certain decay. I tried everything advertised, hoping to gain relief' Finally I drifted into a state of melancholy and hope less despair, suffering excruciatingly from dyspepsia, short breath, and urinary catarrh. A year ago I saw Brown’s Iron Bitters advertised. I used them, and they acted like a charm. I soon began to -enjoy dreamless slumber—and now I feel myself a man once more, and have gained 54 pounds since using the remedy. I feel very strong, and can hold out a 45 pound weight. Brown’s Iron Bitters saved my life.” How the Apostles Died. Peter was crucified at Rome, and at his own request, with his head down ward. Andrew was crucified by being bound to a cross with cords, on which he hung two days, exhorting the people until he expired. James the Great was beheaded by order of Herod, of Jerusalem. James the Less was thrown from a high pinnacle, then stoned, and finally killed with a fulier’s club. Philip was bound and hanged against a pillar. Bartholomew wa3 flayed to death by command of a barbarous king. Matthew was killed by a halbert. Thomas, while at prayer, was shot with a shower of lances, and afterward run through the body with a lance. Simon was crucified. Thaddeus was cruelly put to death. The manner of Matthias’s death is uncertain. One says he was stoned, then beheaded ; another says he was crucified. Judas Iscariot fell and his bowels gushed out. John died a natural death. Paul was beheaded by order of Nero. Almost young Again. My mother was afflicted a long time with Neuralgia and a dull, heavy in active condition of the whole system ; headache, nervous prostration, and was almost helpless. No physicians or medicines did her any good. Three months ago she began to use Hop Bit ters, with such good effect that she •seems and feels young again, although over 70 years old. We think there is no other medicine fit to use in the family.” A lady in Providence, R. 1. — Journal. An Act To regulate the practice of medicine in the State of Georgia. Section 1.

Wabash, Ind., September 14. — It*, lias just been discovered that one of the stations on the Underground rail road was located two miles south of ‘ this city. The building stands on a hill overlooking the Lafontaine and? Wabash turnpike, and is a plain brick structure. It was built by a man* named Elias Thomas, in the year 1856, . and by him was used as a residence. No one knew of this being a place of refuge for slaves until recently anew family moved in, and an examination revealed the vault for secreting-; “ passengers" cn route for Canada. . The foundation of the house is sunken deep into the ground, forming a sort of basement. This cellar is divided into two compartments by a stone wall. One side is entered by a door, and the other apparently is without an * aperture. A trap-door in the floor above, however, which, was always covered by a carpet, gave easy means , of access, and many colored mem wero let down into the depths of the mys terious cellar while on their way from the south to Canada. It is said that another station on the line is situated near LaGro, this county. In April Last, Twenty-four members of Arlington’s i minstrels were taking Warner’s Safe - Kidney and Liver Cure. It made them > happy. A Trap for Sheep-Killing Dogs. The Lynchburg Virginian describes an ingenious trap devised by a Virginia farmer to capture sheep-killing dogs. Having suffered severely from the depredations of dogs upon his sheep fold, lie built around a number of sheep that dogs had killed an inclosurc of ' rails twelve feet high and about ten feet square at the ground, the sides . of the trap sloping inward until an. opening about five feet square. Any dog could easily climb such a, sloping fence and enter the pen, but ? . not even a greyhound could jump out of it. Iu three nights the farmer captured forty-six dogs, including fifteen or twenty tiiat had never been seen before in that neighborhood. This, after there had been a public si aughterofall dogs suspected of sheep-. killing, save one, whose master could not be convinced of his guilt. The trap was built for bis especial benefit, and it caught him the first night. A number of over prudish young ladies in New York recently complain-, ed that the policemen squeezed their arms when assisting them across the crowded streets. So now that it is against the law for an officer to touch them in any way, they have to scurry • through carriages anil wagons the lu st way they can. while t{ie officer simply walks by their side.
