ARCHITECT T7E.E. The person addressed stood at the window, half bid by the dark, flowing curtains, sobbing audibly. ’Twas a slight girlish figure, soft golden ringlets fell in rich profu. sion to her slender waist; awl the tiny bands, like snow-flakes, were clasped convulsively before her fair face, while the tears fell thick and fast. No answer cable; only tbo sobs grew louder nnd more hysterical. “Weil, I’ve either to stay hero and listen to the rain and storm all the morning, or go and see pretty Maude Melton, look into her be witching black eyes and learn my fate. Which must I do Nell?” And Harry Mordaunt threw his nut-brown curls from bis high, Veiiow fr.fr .m.iir.iM white brow, and then leant back la zily In tbo large arm-chair. “Don’t care what becomes of mei Umpli? Ob, 1 know what’s the matter! Qeorgo hasn't been here for two days; ho is u scamo to cause your dear heart so much pain. Why, my darling cousin, I'll go this minute and find the tiuant; lie’ll come back here in a hurry, i’ll vouch for it Then what will become of me? Oh, I’ll drop in an hour or two at my own Maude’s. Hasn’t she the rosiest cheeks and blackest eyes yon over gazed upon?’ No answer. “Nellie, I say?” And thero was a merry twinkle in his half-closed eyes,ns the pettish reply. “What do you wnnt?” came from the pout ing red lips. “Come here.” ' “I shall not.” "Oh. yes, yon will. Ccme, Nel lie.” “No, I won’t.” “I have something to tell you. Come along.” And the cruel young gentleman turned his hand some face toward her and held out both hands invitingly. Nellie-raised her tearful blue eyes for a moment to his countenance, but the long lashes Instantly swept the flushed cheeks,and, though tak ing ono step forward, said pout- ingly: “I’m not coming near you, you liatelal thing, after what you have said just now.” “What I said just now! What did I say?” “You know very well how cross I yon were to me; and then you said this was a dullold house and every- 1 body stupid in it; and,and ” I The other little loot sipped can I tioiuly up to its mate. “Did I say that? It must have been when I was at the window and you wouldn't kiss me. Sure enough I remember now. But come, Nellie, sit beside me and tell me about it. My memory is not very good.” Here he drew up a low-eushion- Scraps, Fapotsries, Autographs ing pillow. “Henry, I am sorry I was so cross and so bad-tempered. Can you forgivo me ?” Tho blue eyes were raised en- treatingly, bnt he evaded them, and kept his gazing into tho Ure. “I will if you’ll kiss me 1” “No, no, Harry, I cannot.” “Not whon I tell you that I am going far away to-morrow, and may never see you again ?” “Oh,tis not sol I should be so lonely witbont you; do not leave me 1” “Yes I must. Will von kiss me ?’’ The little form trembled, but it slowly arose, and, looking sadly at the averted face of her exacting cousin, answered: “I ennnot comply with your re quest, Harry; but will nothing change yonr purpose of leaving us so soon?” Her voice quivered; though she tried to speak so calmly. The hard hearted wretch 1 how serenely ho appeared. “Nothing—nothing but a sweet kiss from proud little Nell, nnd a promiso from her that she shall some day soon be my own precious wife." “No, no. Am I dreaming ? Look at me, Henry.” Ho did gaze now into the lovely, loving face, and the little maiden saw enough to satisfy the great yearning In her unquiet heart, for with a glad cry she thrfiw her fair arms around his neck, nnd Henry was saved from the tedium of his threatened journey (if the good- for-nothing fellow had proicctcd any.)

Most of tho Jewish refugees now in this city never saw n colored main until they landed in this country, says the Philadelphia Record, and when two of the dus ky gentlemen stepped In yesterday to take a look they created consid erable excitement.” “What’s the matter with thoso men ?” asked one of the refugees of a committeeman “Nothing,” was tho answer. “Ain’t they sick ?” was asked. “No,” the committeeman an- wrered. “Well, what makes them so black ?” the inquiry came. “They are negroes,” replied the committeeman. The forcigncer shook his head and proceeded to examine the col- ored men closer. A crowd soon gathered around and enjoyed the sight immensely. Some of them shook bands with tho Africans, but the most refused, and shrunk when tho dusky hands were nflered them. The children, anil some of the women, ran in alarm when the colored men approached them. The youngsters clung in terror to tho skiits of their mothers, while the adult females were not so cer tain but that tho darkies wore sent into the room to scare them or to cat them up. The young colored men enjoyed the sport themselves, and tried to talk gibberish to the oxiles. Georgia’s Prosperity. Treasurer Speer. The publics debt of Georgia Is $6,726,000. This is in bonds fall ing due in installments from 1882 to 1889. This is a valid debt and will be paid. Certain conds issued under a former administration bnvo beon declared null and void, and under the Constitution nnd a legis lative enactment I, ns Trcarnrer of the State, am prohibited from pay ing part of the same. They arc dead nnd worthless, and will not come up any more. With all dun respect to the illeision of voiir Yt-vi York ollieials in relation to your savings banks investing in Geor gia bonds, I want to say that snob » decision cannot nilect our State's credit, nnd our long seven per con'-. Bond'- arc hard to find at 125. Georgia has no bonds for sale. Those which she has issued nro mostly held at homo by our own citizens, who are anxious to buy all that can bo found for sale. I believe that Georgia is the only State in the Union that has been able to float a four per cent, short date bond at par. Georgia has flouted sevoral hundreds of thous ands of these, and somo of them were taken in New York. Georgia ha9 publlo property in the shape of railroads, railroad stock, tele graph stock, iy;al estate and other things sufficient to pay all she owes. Her bonds are In the bands of her (riends, though, and cannot bo paid until they are due. All the public property oi the State is pledged by a constitutional enact ment (wbicli constitution was rati fied by a vote of the people) to bo used and disposed of only for the payment of her debt. .4 Year In Now York. New York Huo. During 1881, .38,624 deaths oc curred in New York city, and 85,- 000 births wore reported.

Of the army of wino bibbers who cast their substance into this pool 32,391 were committed to the Tombs. ' The amount expended In public amusements of all sorts amounted to $7,000,000. In the police station 120,084 imrsons asked fo* and were furnish ed with lodgings, and 21,000 out door poor wcro relioved. In the police stations 67.135 persons were arraigned.
