“Olivo, Olivel whoro ore you?"
Octavio Weston’* clear, sweet
vice rang like n trumpet .through
the desolate old garret, where tlie
red glow of sunset yet lingored
nmid dark crossbeams and festr/ons
of eobweht; and out from a partic
ular nook where the light shone
longest, and the huge chests nnd
piles of lumber bad been dragged
partially away from tbe window-
ledge, caiue a brown skinned, jet
eyed young girl, tier black hair
twisted into a knot at the back of
her head, and her eye-brows knit
ted as ,f iu preoccupation of some
nature.
“Well.” slio said, shortly.
“What a little, old mote you ate,
to lie sure,” said Ootavia, “to bur
row here, when .all the world is out
in the woods, picking up chestnuts
and gathering autumn leave.!
Writing poetry, are you, or cor-
noting the exercises of those hor
rid little girls in tho sixth class?
Olive, Olive, I wonder you don't
drown yourselll I am sure I should,
if 1 were in your place.”
“What is it you want, Octavio?”
said Olive, brusquely.
“I want you to sketch thu letter
G on this picco of paper. Some
thing original and fantastic, you
know; and illustrate it for uio in
gold leal and colors, that's a dar
ling! I must liavu it this evening
at eight o’clock,”
“I don't sco how I can flnisli it,”
said Olive, roughing up her blaek
locks, with a mechanical hand—it
was always to this mane of hers
that she retorted when she was in
a quandary—and staring intently
at the ceiling, ns if seeking ior in
spiration there.
‘ Oh, yes, you can! And I will
lend you my locket to wear at the
picnie. Do try—there’s a love,”
urged Octavia.
Olive caught up the pencil and
hurriedly sketched the initial—a
Uolhlic letter, twined in and out of
a ruined, ivy grown casement.
“Will this do?” said sue.
“Oh,” oried Oct-ivia, “it is ox-
quisilct After the ultra-marine
and gold leaf are in, it will be per-
feet I”
“Leave it, then,'Void Olive, “and
you shall have it at the children's
;cu! But I don’t want your locket.
Jewelry U well enough, but not
when it is borrowed."
“How tunny you uro, Olive
Deni I” said .Miss Weston.
Bu< she withdrew in radiant good
nunior.
“Olivo never likes to be talked
lo when she has one ot her inspir
ed (Its on,” thought she. “But the
letter is exquisite, and tho profess
or Is sure lo lie pleased with it.”
Ootavia Weston and Olive Dent
were both pupils of Mrs. UuntSed-
ley, who kept a fashionable insli
into for ladies.
Octavia was tbe daughter of an
impecunious naval oilicer, who had
not paid any or her bills very late
ly, but whose beauty and good hu
mor made her a universal favorite.
Moreover, Professor Andertou,
who had instructed the girls of the
school in literature and bellcs-lct-
ires, before the great fortune bail
been bequelhed to bira by a dis
tant relative, and who still came
daily from Anderton Priory to give
his lessons, simply, he said, be
cause he liked it, had fallen in love
with her brilliant complexion nnd
deep liquid eyes; nnd this, in the
estimation of the Hunt-Sciily In
stitute, was distinc.ion indeed!

in her life, she lay awake until

Olive, on the contrary,was an
orphan, with no friends and rcla-
tlvos in particular, except '.no el
derly aunt, who wanted very much
of these to warrant you in enter
ing upon the lists of tho artist
world. Stop! I. ibis illuminated
letter yours—tlie loiter ’O'?”
“It fs one I have been designing
for a friend,” said Olive, coloring
a little.
“It is very pretty. But—par
don me-sit' does not look like an
artist's finished work. Is my .frank
ness too cruel? Ami not barbar
ous?”
“No,” said Olive. “I want yon
to tell me tbe truth.”
He looked at her with pity kind
ness. How strange it was that he
had never before noticed bow
bright nnd spirited was her face—
how softly brilliant her eyes!
“She is a jewel among women!”
ha Bald to himself. “And it is I
that am doomed to cut her so cru
elly to the heart! I feel like the
viviceslor, with the kuife at the
lambs tbroall”
But ns he turned over the draw
ings mechanically, other designs
fell out—the very ones that Octa
vio Weston bad at different times
given for birthday and anniversary
gifts tlie beautiful drawings wliioh
Octavia bad claimed ns her own
work.
“Arc these all yours?” lie asked,
abruptly.
“Yes,” she answered. "Let me
have them now, Mr. Anderton.
Mrs. Sedley needs me at six, to get
the Infant class ready tor ten.”
That evening Octavia Weston
gave her lover the illumined G that
be had seen in Miss Dent’s portfo
lio.
“G is for Gerald,’’she said,arch
ly. “See whal.I have been doing
lor you!”
Professor Anderton looked sharp
ly at her.
‘“This is all your work, Octavia?”
said lie, with curious sensations, a-
though his faith in all the world
was being undermined.
“All mine,” she answered, nnd
pnuled a little.
Professor Anderton observed her
gravely. Ol late he bad begun to
(piestion himself, now and then,
whether blue eyes nnd rose-leaf
checks could meet all the needs of
a man's existence. And now that
those full, 6carlet lips had detiber
ately uttered a falsehood, the pure
spirit-love died out at once, almost
without a pang.
Was it because ho loved Olivo
Dent? Had one affection supplant
ed another? He scarcely dared ask
himself the question.
' He was absent and silent all tbe
evening. Octavia bad never found
him so little entertaining; nnd
when at last he went away, she
drew a long sigh of relief.
“Now,” she said to herself, “I
shall have a chance lo talk n little
with poor, dear Algernoul The
Professor grows prosier every day,
I think.”
And, winding her head in a flotcy
Shetland senrl, Octavia Weston
stole down into the dewy gnrdeu,
wlicie a handsome young man was
yawning in a summer-house, with
only tho crickets and owls for com
panv.
“Sweelesl!” he cried, “I thought
you never were coming."
And so did I!” said Octavia,
-Professor Anderton to see me!”
she exclaimed, when little Amy
Grace brought her the message, at
ten o’eiook. “Why Isn't that
funny? I was just thinking of ask
ing leave to speak with him.”
And Ootnvia went with flaming
cheeks and downcast eyes. Into the
little reception-room, where her
middle-aged lover awaited her.

“Octavia,” he said, geutly. "I

inis DI8PUTI HARROWED DOWS TO A
QUESTION OF VERACITY AND
' ' flOYNTON ACQUITTED.
WasUinoton April 1.—The ac
tion of the charges brought by
ex-Speaker Keifer aglnst Gen.
Boynton wa* unanimous as to the
resolution reported. Tworeportsac-
compunied the rcsolnti in one signed
by Representative Hopkins, Ward
and J. Adams, Democrats, aqd the
other oy Messrs. Poland and Wil
son, Republicans. Tho majority
report reviews the testimony pre-
settled to support - Mr. Keifer’s
charge, condemns it as entitled to
but little -weight, and concludes
that “the proof of the charge rests
upon the testimony of Mr. Keifer
alone. Mr. Keifer’s testimony as
lo the alleged corrupt proposftion,
1 . ,, . r, , to tlie alleged corrupt proposition,
Hi I think—in fact, I nnc i a )[ 0 f j| 8 details, is fully and
am almost sure—I’ve made a mis- flitlvcontradictedbv thS testimony
of
take! Oh don’t speak tome! Let
me tell the whole story out and free
my tnlnd. I lore somebody else!”
“So do II” said the professor.
“I, toj, Miss Weston, have erred in
rending ray own heart.”
“Oh, I’m so glid!” said Octavia,
brightly. "And you’ll rcallv let
n II.a onancrnmAtit?**
me off from tLe engagement?
“I most certainly shall absolve
you from tho engagement,” said
Professor Anderton, half-smiling at
her school-girl eagerness.
So Octavia married Algernon
A venal, and her elder lover was
left to woo and win sweet Olive
Dent, who, in her sweet humility,
could scarcely believe that she.wat
worthy ot any man’s affection.
She had made up her mind to a
life of twilight obscurity—an exis
tence ol monotony.
“Bnt are you quite sure you love
me?” she asked of the grave pro
fessor.
"Entirely sure,” he responded.
“But I don’t see why,” she
urged.
“Because, myowp precious one,"
Anderton answered, “you are pure
and true—you are unselflsb and
lovely. Octavia Weston was a
mere sparkling will o’ the wisp;
you are a star, shining high above
earth’s mists and damps.”
And when he put hla arm around
her and looked Into her eyes,
Olive Dent knew (hit he loved her
as she bad always hopelessly long-
to be loved. |
And the had come lots the lilejis-
cd Inheritance of her womanhood
at last!

Outbreaks of Mob Tloleaee.
About one thousand murders
were committed in the United
States in 1883. and only about one
hundred murderers were legally
hanged, while more than one hun

little facts go a tong way in ex

Alter arguing that Mr. Keifer’a
story Is highly improbable in itself,
tho report goes on to say that
his testimony is controverted by
several of Mr. Boynton's witnesses,
whoso characters' cannot be assail-
cd. The minority report sgr t,
with that or the majority In every- '
thing hut the weight attached to
tho evidence of Gen. Boynton’s .
witnesses in contradiction of Mr. j
Keifer in regard to'au interview
between Messrs. Keifer and Boyn
ton after Mr. Boynton’B alleged
corrupt proposition to Mj KflWWt ,
Of these witnesses the minority ;
say: We do not intend to cast n
doubt upon the fairness and truth
pf the several witnesses who have
testified to this interview'and who -'j
say it was the night of March 1-
Wo feel sure that they are mistak- 'ii
cn us to tho day and that tbe inter- .3
view they witnessed wAs a day or
two earlier. Tho result is that the j
alleged statement of Gen. Boynton j
to Mr. Elder and President -Gar- -fl
field, offered in support of the
charge against him we do not find
established as true, and tlio later- H
viow between Messrs. Keifer and ,i
Boynton, at the otlice of the latter, |
we do not find to have! been hod i
at a time that makes it material to , *'
this ease. Too case ■ is left with7 1
tlie evidence to support the charges,
which is substantially ih-it of Mr. ^
Keifer. alone, nnd the counter evi- I
dcncc, the sole evidence of, Mr. j
Boynton, Mr. Burden being an ac
cuser, the charge is not made sut.
We should be very glad to believe
that the difficulty between these
two men has arisen from sonic
misapprcbansion ormisunderatand-
ilig. If this bo not possible we
must leavo it as we found it—a
question of personal verooity he- j
tween thorn.” ,

We Jearn that Culbbert lisa just
enjoyed such a religious revival as
has never occurred there before.
Rev. Sam.' Jones, .» celebrated
Methodist clergyman from North
Georgia, has been siding the pas
tor, Rev. F. Branch. Feuds be
tween men who have even shot »t
one another on the streets, and dis
sensions that have existed fora
longtime have been healed, and.
tho olive branch of peace Sroa pass
ed between ail-parties. Thin is no
fancy sketch, but it is a fact that .
does good to humanity. Peopto j
who have been in the habit of
drinking whiskey to excess tor a
long time have utterly quit, and
sinners of all- kinds have changed _
their ways. Quite a number lisvs.j
joined the church, and the effects
of the religions interest in the o°*\
uiunity is plainly visible in all
