Americas, - - Georgia,
Ob, you're laughing, Kitty May!
But ho loves you, lady gay,
And a tender heart and true
la the heart he offers you,
Kitty May.
But you're laughing, Kitty May!
What is that I hear you eay?
That his hands are hard and brown
And his manner like a clown?
Kitty May?
You may laugh, then, Kitty Mayf
But I tell you true to-day,
That bard hands can closest fold
When winter days are cold,
Kitty May.
Laughing still! Oh, Kitty May!
With yonr bright eyes turned away,
While I plead for youth and health.
And a true heart’s store of wealth,
Kitty Mayl
And you're thinking, Kitty^May,
Of his rival, so they say,
And you balance love and pride,
And you'll be the old man’s bride,
Kitty May.
So farewell, sweet Kitty May,
Laugh on merrily—I pray
That no dreary day may come
In your splendid cheerless home,
Kitty May,
When your laughter, Kitty, May,
In its dimpled merry play,
Will be checked by bitter tears
As you look back down the years,
Kitty May!
theseoondTove,
Isn’t she lovely?”
Tom Charlcsworth spoke ontlm
siastically. His was a natuie not
often stirred, but very deep and
earnest; and Fernanl Wallace look
ed into bis face and wondered
with a halt smile, how it would
seem to feel tilings below a mere
surface depth.
He was very handsome, this Fer-
nand Wallace, with soft, trencher
ous eyes, feature like Apollo Bel
videro, and a lute sweet voice; and
Cbnrlesworth, who read every one
according to the keynote of his
own nnturc, loved him ns if they
had been brothers.
“She’s well enough,” said Wat
lace, dcbonarily. “Noso just a
trifle too short, and the lips too
full, bit otherwise what the world
calls beautiful. So you are hard
hit, my boy,ch?”
“I lovelier denrly,” said Tom,
in a quiet unimpnssioned voice that
meant so much, “and Qod willing
I will be a good husband to her;
and you’d better remain to bo my
bestman. It’s hardly worth while to
return to Exeter for three weeks.”
“W'dl, perhaps yon are right,
old fellow,” said Fernand Wallace;
but any one a trifle more observant
than Tom would have observed
that the handsome, restless eyes
evaded his gaze with strunge uub-
tlcty.
“I)o you hear?” said Charles-
wort, cxultingly. “Fernand will
stay to the wedding. I knew we
would persuade him.”
Elsie Mordaunt looked sudden
ly up from her fancy work, and
something wild aud 'piteous in her
gaze attracted Tom’s attention.
“Elsiu are you ill?”
Elsie laughed a little hysteri
cally.
No—what nonsense,Tom; I’m
well enough. Don’t get any absird
notions into your head.”
The night before the wedding
Tom Charlcsworth strode over the
fields towards Flsie’s home.
The little room where she was
wont to sit and wait lor him was
dark and the window was open.
Tom leaned his elbows on the case
ment and looked in.
“Elsie—darling!”
But there came uo answer. Elsie
was not there.
He went around to the orthodox
entrance, feeling a little disappoint
ed; be scarcely knew why. Mrs.
Mordaunt met him in the ball with
a white, scared face.
“Oh, Mr. Cbarlesworth, we were
just going to send for you,” she
cried.
“To send for me!” Tom’s face
blanched. “What has happened?
the note and walked forth into the
starry silence of the night. No
eye but those of the Allseein
should witness the sacred
of his heart.
* * * * * *
‘•Mother thought you would
come, if—if you knew how poor
she was, and that father was dead
nnd—”
A burst of tears checked the
child’s voice as she stood, with
drooping head nnd bauds tightly
clasped together in Mr. Churles-
worth's library.
“But my child, you have not
told me who yaur mother is nor
who you arc.
“I am Margaret, and mother is
called E’Bie Wallace.”
Mr. Cbarb sworth arose and took
the uhiki’s hand in bis.
“Come, child, and take mo ta
your home,” was all ho said.
It was Eisic—pale, sallow and
wan, the ghost of her former seif,
her voice interrupted by a cough,
her hand-transparent and hot with
feyer, yet Elsie still.
“You have forgiven me, Tom ?
Oh Tom, I could not have died
without your words of pardon.”
“I forgave you freely long ago
Elsie.”
“I have expiated my folly on the
altar of repentance. Oh, Tom, ho
was a fiend in human shape,” she
added, ehuddoringly, “but now—”
She mutely motioned toward the
scantily furnished room, the dying
fi re in the grate, and the child shiv
ering in her rags at the foot of the
bed.”
“It is not for myself,” she falter
ed. “Heaven knows I have not
long to sutler, and I am well in
jured to it; but my poor little Mar
garet, what is to become of her?”
“Shall I tako her, Elsie, for my
own?” Tom answered quietly. “I
have neither wife nor child; and
tor the sake of wlmt you once were
to me, Elsie, I will love the child
aud be kind to her.”
Elsie drew a long Bigh of ineflla-
ble relief, as her offered fingers
closed on Cbarlcsworth’s hand.
“I can die in peace now.”
When the sods had "been laid
upon poor Elsio’s collin, Margaret
came to Cbarlcsworth’s luxurious
home, a shy, timid child, with big,
harc-iikc eyes and brown skin, and
nervous way of starting when
any one spoke to her.”
“Margaret,” saul he, stroking
her jetty hail', “what shall 1 do
with you?”
“1 should like to go to school,”
she said, wistfully, “and learn to
bo like other girls. Papa always
spent all the money, and mamma
never could send me.”
“Well,” said Mr. Charlcsworth
“that’s a very sensible idea of yours
do you know, little girl. To school
you shall go.’’.
Three years afterward Margaret
cumo back, royally beautiful as
Cleopatra. Mr. Charlcsworth had
sent a little brown girl to school,
and to his surprise a radiant but
terfly floated into his presence.
“My little girl,” he said, tairly
confounded and taken by surprise,
“how lovely you are!”
“Am I?” she said, demurely, “I
am so glad.”
“Little vanity.”
“No,” said Margaret, “I don't
think it is altogether vanity; but
you know I wanted you to love
me.”
“You have no idea of what you
are saying,” replied Mr. Charles-
worth, half sadly.
As the weeks and months rolled
by the young girl became the light
and sunshine of Tom’s life.
“Margaret,” said Mr. Charles-
worth one evening,“I have found a
husband for you; what do you say?”
“That I will take him sir, if he is
the right one,” laughed the girl.
Tom felt a pang at bis heart,
hut he kept a brave countenance.”
“Well, it‘is Harry Montague,
he said, striving to speak cheerily.
“Tell him no.”
“You don’t like him?”
“No, Mr. Charlcsworth.”
“But he isyouDgand handsome.”
“And the man I love is not young
nor particularly handsome.”
“Margaret, arc you in love?”
“Yes, Mr. Cbarlesworth, and so
arc you.”
“Y
you love me, but you ore too mod
est to faney, until I tell you so,
that—”
“That what, Margaret?” Pale
and eager he waited for an answer.
“That I loyo you. Oh, Mr.
Charleswortb, my mother’s treach
ery blighted your youth; let my
love and affection atone, in the
golden prime sf your days.”
“Margaret, will you be my wife?”
“It you will have me.”
Ami the Fernand Wallace's child
gave back to Tern Charlcsworth
the gift of love which her father’s
hand had so ruthlessly plucked
from his heart twenty years before.
—The Argosy.
The Cuming Men or the South.
The typical Southern man Is no
longer a tree-banded fox-hunter
whose inherited fortune is lavished,
as long as it lasts, upon bis friends,
his horses and bounds; he is no
longer the gay society man, study
ing etiquette as tho finest of the
fine arts, and cultivating hts ca
pacity lor conversation as the most
valuable of all intellectual gifts; he
is no longer a believer in olassicsl
education as the gift requisite of a
gentleman and an Indispensable
groundwork for celebrity In life.
The typical southern man of other
days has learned new lessons in a
new sehool and is profiting by
them. He is taking more practi
cal views of life, lie is grappling
more with the robust realities of
life. He Is applying bis mind and
bis muscle moro to accomplishing
the substantial things of life. He
is developing himself more as a
man of actual, useful aflairs. He
is training his spirit and his ener
gies moro in the direction oi realis
tic results and less to the mere ac
complishments,ornamentations and
elegancies of life. It is always
wiso as well as bravo to look bote
in tho face. Introspection of ouf-
solves is not ulways agreeable, but
it is essential to self-understanding,
and wonderfully contributive not
only to a generous construction of
the conduct of others, but to an
unprejudiced estimate of all changes
that may be oflered to us for our
advantage. And however the peo
ple of the South may look baek
with tender emotions upon their
usages and associations of other
days, as candid and intelligent
men, they must admit that, Indus
trially regarded, thero are in the
new order of things many improve
ments upon the old. During the
existence of the institutionof slave
ry wo had a noble race of splendid
gentlemen in the South; but nt ibe
sumo time thero wore splendid gen
tlemen in the North, too, and both
here and there the race may he
maintained to tho end, not only
without deterioration, but with an
increased and ever Increasing de
velopment of all the great manly
capacities and virtues, under the
agencies of honest labor of every
description and the influences of
that bold and chivalrous spirit of
enterprise characteristic of the
Anglo-Saxon with free institutions
around him.
Tho Sonthcrn man hut the moral,
the mental and the physical force*
adequate to the attainment of any
thing and everything within tue
compass of mau’s capacity to reach,
and now that he is no longer en
slaved by his own institutions of
negro slavery he is * sturdier work
er in the rugged fields of industry;
his enterprise is expanding, his
inventive genius is awakening.
Ere two more decades shall have
gone, the wealth of the South will
be the wonder of the world; and
we think we may safely say that
the coming men of the South, the
men who are to guide us in coun
cil and direct us in energy, are the
men who shall have most tamed
their thoughts to practical aflhirs
involving the industrial interests
of their section.—Richmond In
dustrial South.
