LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARC H 3, 1881.
“When ?”
If I were told that I must die to-mor
row,
That, the next sun
Which sinks should hour he past all
fear and sorrow
For any one,
All the light fought, and the short
journey through;
What should I do?
1 do not think that l should shrink or
falter,
But just go on,
Doing my work, nor change, nor seek
to alter
Aught that is gone;
But rise and move and love and smile
and pray
For one more day.
And lying down at night for one more
sleeping.
Say In that ear
Which hearkens ever “Lord within thy
keeping
llow should I fear?
And when to-morrow brings Thee
nearer still
Do thou Thy will.”
PROMISE.
She came flying down the path,
her long black hair streaming be
hind her, and her great eves spark
ling, the dark, thin, irregular f?at
ur. s fairly alive with vivacity. She
looked to the very life like the wild
little creature of fifteen that she was,
but into the face of the beautiful
1
fair-haired girl whom Nell Haviland
was coming to meet th'r; flashed
such a look of love that a stranger
would have known that her girlish
sister was very dear to the heart of
Alice Ilaviland.
The two were orphans, supported
hy the industry of Alice, the oldest
who was well known in the town
as a skillful teacher of music. The
younger was entirely a different na
ture from the quiet, steady, lovable
Alice. The townfolks said that the
baptismal of Eleanor was altogether
too grand and statclv for such a
Itoydenish creature, and eo it had
become shortened to the monosyl
lable ‘Nell.’
‘Alice,’ said Nell, ‘you cannot
guess what I have done ?’
‘Something impossible for any
one else to do, I presume,’ said her
sister, smiling into her eager eyes.
‘I climbed into the oak and tied
my handkerchief to the top,’ said
the girl, pointing triumphantly to
the fluttering white morsel.
‘Did you?’said Alice absentmind
edly.
‘Oh, dear!’ said Nell pettishly,
'you don’t hear a word I say. ]
guess you are thinking of Goddard
Tressel. I wish you were not en
gaged to him, Alice for you don’t
seem to cure a bit fur me now-a
days.
‘Nellie,’ the love in the tones re
buked the girl, ‘I shall ever love
and cate tor you, darling sister,
come what may,’ and putting her
arms catTessingly around Nell’s
waist, the sisters went into the
house.
The humble supper was over. —
Alice was sitting at the little piano,
weaving a sheet of harmony from
the ivory keys, when she heard a
step on the walk, which summoned
her to the front door.
‘Alice!’ and h»r hand lay in the
hand of her betrothed, Goddard
Tressil.
The tall handsome young fellow
that stood before her was the heir
of'The Cliffs,’ the great mansion,
around which lay its extensive
farms—‘the best place in the coun
try.’
‘lt is too fine a night to remain
in doors Alice. Whatsay you to a
row by-moonlight?’
‘lt would give me much pleas
ure,’ she said; and running up stairs
for a shawl she paused a moment,
and opened the door to Nell’s
chamber.
The sound of Nell’s low regular
breathing satisfied her, and she
went down stairs to rejoin her lov
er. They walked slowly down the
path, drinking in the intense love
liness of the night. The moon was
at its full. Great golden stars seem
ed melting into blue ether, and
white weird drifts, like fleets, float
ed across the sky.
The calm ocean ended theirwalk
Each of its waves seemed dipped
with a diamond crest, and the re
flexes trembled in pearl oral azure, j
Assisting Alice into the boo',
Tressil pushed out so ns to clear the
rhore. The little skill' rocked on
the slow, faint swells of the outgo
ing tide, and the oarssplashed with
a musical rhythm very pleasant to
hear. A silence fell over the two.
It was broken hy Tressil,
‘Alice, I have somethin* import
ant to say to you to-night.’
‘What is it about ?’ she question
ed wonderingly.
‘About —Nell.’ The words were
said hesitatingly, as if he was nerv
ing himseli for an effort.
‘About Nell!’she repeated in sur
prise.
‘Yes; where is she going to live
ufter we are married ?’
‘Going to live? Why, with me of
course,’ said Alice wondering what :
would come next.
‘lt cannot be, Alice. She must
be sent to a boarding school or
somewhere else.’
‘Why, Goddard, wl.nt put that
into vo.ir min'd ?’ exclaimed Alice.
‘She would not stay at a hoarding
school for one moment. It would
kill her to separate us, for I am all
she has in the world, and I prom
ised mother when she was dying,
that I would never leave or forsake
the child sister entrusted to my
care.’
‘But, Alice, mother and Isabel
said ’
‘Goddard please tell me precisely
what your mother and sister have
said, so that I may know just how
the matter stands.’
‘Well they say that they can wel
come you, very gladly, as a daugh
ter and sister hut they can’t endure
the idea of having Nell under the
same roof, and she must abide
somewhere else.
‘And you—Goddard ?’ said Alice
imploringly.
‘What can I do, Alice,’ said lie,
in a sort of helpless way that struck
a chill to tiie girl’s heari.
. ‘So it is a question of decision on
my part between you and my sis
ter Nell ?’
‘Yes, Alice.’
Do not blame him too harshly.
He had been much harrassed by
his pr >ud haughty mother and sis
ter concerning this disagreeable sub
ject, and man fashion, he thought j
that it could be arranged si it.ehow, I
so that this troublesome Nell could
be seiit quietly out of the way, and j
he could et joy the society of the i
only woman he ever loved in peace.
Alice fought a desperate battle
between love and duty.
It seemed to her that she could
not give up her betrothed for an
other’s sake; that she cmtld not
throw away her life’s happiness for
her youngest sister, hut the stratum
of loyalty to duty that ran through
her nature like a silver chord, gave
her strength. Soil was determined
though it was a white face that met
Goddard’s it was a reso’rute voice
that Raid:
‘Goddard, I have chosen. I
cannot leave my sister.
He tried to break the decision hy
passionate pleading, hut the tones
were firm and unshaken as she
said, at last.
‘Goddard it would be unjust to
say that I do not love you, for you
know that I do, but I cannot be
false to my charge.’
And they parted —he to walk |
home as it pursued by furies think- \
ing bitterly of woman’s obstinacy, j
and yet in his secret. heart honoring j
the girl who walked so unflinching- [
ly in the path of duty.
Alice went up stairs, and bury
ing her face in the soft cushions of I
an arm chair, with the friendly j
darkness around her, nature took j
her revenge for the self control of I
the last hour. Her eyes throbbed j
and burned like balls of (ire; her j
heart beat in high surging waves, j
but her hand was icy cold that she |
p ! aced over her mouth f : fear that J
» cry might escape her lips which j
would awaken Nell. But despite j
all her precaution, there can ea 1
sound of bare feet on the floor, and j
a little whur-robed form knelt I
**• , , !
down beside, and the dark face w ith
its weird eyes peered into hers.
“VlialV the matter?’
‘Why, Nell, I thought \ou were!
asleep. Come dear, go back to
bed; you w ill catch cold up I ere.’ 1
‘I don’t want to go. What is the
trouble, Alice?’persisted the girl, j
And Alice told her all. Nell j
kissed her sister passionately, then]
clenching her litllo’bruwiYfists, she
said fiercely : »
‘1 hate those proud women ! And
I will pay ’em back for what they
have said, for every word !’
“Hush, dear!' nnd Alice dried
her tears hastily. “Nell, I want you
to promise me something. Will
you darling.’
‘Anything I’ impetu
ously.
‘I want you to promise me, that
if it ever lies in your power to do
me a favor for any of tho Tressil
family 1 may depend upon your
; performance of that favor.’
‘Oh! Alice! anything, anything,
hut that!’
‘Promise me, Nell’c!’ a ring of de
j cision irulitr voire.
There was a silence for a few mo
ments. Then in subdued tones
came the words ••
‘I promise.’
*****
The September" sun, f with its
ripening tints of amber, lay warm
and golden on the garden walk,
and terrace of thecliffs. The waves
of tiieocean crept slowly shoreward,
drifting into fantastic shapes, and
then breaking, scattered the pearly
spray far up on’tlie land.
*'Anther!' and Isabel Trt ssi!
stopped before the open door of
the pleasant sitting room.
‘I lost my bracelet down in the
cove this afternoon, and I did not
notice that it had slipped off until
I got home. I must go and re
cover it before the tide comes in.”
‘Cannot Goddard go for you?' said
her m> ther.
‘I don’t know whore he is.”
‘Very well, he careful about tho
tide,’said the mother, anxiously.
‘1 will lie careful,’ said Isabel,
confidently.
She went down to the foot of
tho cliffs, winch gave her home its
name, hy a broad, gently sloping
path. Then her path lay along
the sands to ihe cove. Two long,
parallel walls of rock rnadeoff from
the shore, and during h’gh tide the
little cove thus formed was a mass
of tossing foam, but now it was a
long, narrow stretch of sand. Isa

| from Goddard, and she valued it
[ very highly. She was about giving
it up for lost, when suddenly she
caught sight of it, almost bidder
hy a mass sea-wi ed.
Isabel caught the bracelet up
ha tiiy and turned to go, saying to
herself; “I must hurry or he caught
by the tide.”
At the thought her eyes turned
towafds the termination of tiie
point ar(fund which she had to go
Her heart almost froze with borrow
at the sight (hat met her gaze. The
wives curled at tho f.iot of the
point, soft as ‘carded wool.’
*****
‘•Help! help!”
The cry sounded faintly above
the heating of (he tide on tin rocks
nnd reached the ear of Nell Ilavi
land, who stood watching the
waves as they slonly encroached
upon the sand.
“Some one in the cove,” said the
girl, and, running along Ihe edge of
the cliffs, she hi lit over the preci
pice. She saw a woman, evidently
half dead with terror, crouching at
the foot of the cliff.
“She will he washed away before
I can get help. I tnlist help her my
self,’said Nell to herself.
There was an 1 1 most impercep'i
ble path dotvn the prt cipitious wall.
Though she was ns metl to climb
ing as a goat, Nell found It no easy
taMi to d> s< end. w ricn she had
nearly arrived at the base she called
"You must climb up this put! ; I
will show yotv lioiv,”
The woman, who lmd not heard I
Nell before, turned at the sound |
of her voice, and Nell Haviland j
stood face to lace with Isabel l
Tressil.
‘‘Oh, Nell, dear Nell, save me!" I
she cried, clasping her hands im- I
ploringly.
A vow registered itself in N< UV \
soul. "I will /jeep my promise if 1 j
drown."
“Tn/.e lu,ld of that little hush.”
site said, “and put your foot there,’’ j
pointing to a little preject ng stone. !
Isabel's terror caused her to |
catch tit the guiding band instead
of jthc seemingly insecure bush,
and her excess of weight caused
Nell te fall downwards. A stone
dislodged struck Nell’s foot, and to
her dismay shi j’fouml that she
could not walk a step. She braced
heiself against tho wall and urged
Isabel to attempt to scale the cliff.
She tried in vain. The unused
muscles refused to pealbrm their
task. Then, with the cold, crawl
ing waves around them, they
screamed in unison. No answer.
At last with a groan of utter
despair, Isabel gave it up.
“Nell, it is of no use; we have
got to drown. But I cannot, can
not die! Oil, God, liavj mere)!"
and, in an nhnndonmei t of agony,
she buried her face on Nell’s
shoulder.
Tho words of a grand old hymn
she had often heard Alice sing
came to Nell’s mind. Nell put Iter
arm iirmird the trembling form of
the terror stricken woman, and then
the strong, voting voice sang out
clear and sweet as a tingle call,
flinging a grand defiance into the
very face of death:
“Jesus, lover of my soul,
l.ot me to Tliy bosom lly.”
The cold spray struck the tiraye
voung singer harshly in the face, as
if to stop utterance, hut the next
s< com! the words:
“While Hie billows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high,”
floated over the water. Strength
came back to Isabel; her vuici
joined Nell’s and steadfastly they
awaited the ne i ingly inevitable.
“Godda'ill” Tiie mix ous faced!

He waited to hear no more, hut

direction of the cove. limb !
Aboviithe roar of the surge, steady
and clear, sounded the death
song:
“Oil, receive my soul at last.”
lie reached the cove and com
menced descending the path at a
1 break-iiick speed as his Inmified
gaze discerned two women at tin
foot. They both looked up as lu
cti lied;
‘Hold on for one moment.’
The pots 'bilily of leirgtaved
took away Isabel TressilVstrength,
and her horrifi (1 brother saw her
fall forward into the embrace ol
the foam-crested wave that jttsl
swept up. But no. The pale face
of Nell Ilaviland gleamed from the
water, and the almost exhausted
vuice said:
‘Tufce her, quid!’
Tressil snatched the senseles.-
fortn of his si.-ter, and groaned
aloud:
“Oil, God! must I leave you to
be drowned, Nell?’
‘You cannot ln/je us both. Tel!
Alice Unit 1 /jept my promise,’ and
Nell turned her Gee away to watch
with a curious sort of expectancy
tl.e gigantic billow slowly crawling
toward her. It swept over her.
and then elm felt herself lifted up
tfnd borne off; but to the benumbed
stnse of heard g seemed a* if an
agoniz 'd video called:
'Nell, my darling!’
Then dal /mess—not h bigness.
Was it Providence that called
Alice llaviliitid to the cliffs at that
moment? But s'm bent over them
just as Goddard Tressil began his
aseent Wluit was that object
buried almost in the water below
him? She recognized it. 0;ilv an
ungel could have steadied the feet
of the light figure Hint swung ilself
by Goddard and his burden. She
reached the end of the path just as
the wave bore away the form of her
sister, and a gre; t cry broke from
her lips:
‘Ni !l, my darling!'
The covetous wave dashed the
helpless body at her feet, and then
strove to bear away two victims.
But the soft arms of Alice Ilavi
land seemed to have been endowed
with the strength of cast-iron, for
seizing Ntll in a strung embrace she
fought the billows until they slmm/j
away conquered by the power of
line. Soon Goddard relieved her,
and how, she never /mew, she
reached the top of the cliffs, hut
when there unconsciousness over
took her.
NO. 31.
Slowly Alice drifted Luck to life.
She found herself in a large, picas
ant clmniher.
•Where mn I?’she questioned.
Oiiddard bent over her.
‘Von are at-the cliffs,’ he an
swered.
Recollection came bacK, and she
said:
‘‘Where is my sister? I must
go to her.’
"She is doing well, and mother
is dividing her time between Isabel
and sister Nellie; that is,” he added
imploringly, ‘ she will be my sister
if yon can ever forgive my coward
ness of three months ago-”
If we failed to surmise Alice’s
answer, the wedding bells that
rang so merrily six months after
wards would have t Id us whether
she refused to forgive him or not.
There is a man wandering in
Trinity bottom near Dallas, Texas,
personating Christ. His nnme is
unknown, hut he is sometimes seen
wearing a genuine crown of thorns,
flowing robes and sandals of plunk
upon bis feet. He took to the
woods out of a nest of Santifioa
tii ni t‘ in Dallas and bilitves that
he is performing heaven’s work in
this world. The religious coterie
of Sanctilicationists is made up of
several simple minded men and
women, who claim to be the holy
family, descended again to the
earth, to prepare mankind for the
end which, according to their reve
lations, is in the near future. They
do not, so not so they say,
eat food of the earth earthly, hut
profess to he fed by invisible hands-
They also claim to hear celestial
lunec played on golden harps, end
the voice of unnumbered angels
etirnnl’y singing around the
In-one. While they are visible on
earth they live in heaven and their
p ospiet for-, merry Christinas are
brilliant. The people of Dallas are
gr atlv interested in this holy fam
ily and vi.-it them in droves, alter
having driven them a little way
out of '.own. — Waldron (Ark} Re

From parties living in Murray
county, we learn that two men
named Mt Entire and Orr, got into
a dis, ute last week, which finally
resulted in MiEntire killing Orr.
The scence of the mur ler was at a
distillery among the Cohuttah
mountains in the upper end of
Murray county and near the Gil

The affair was very quiet, but
withal enjoyable to the highest de
gree. We refer to the nuptials of
Mr. W, T. Jones and Miss Fannie
Lassater, which occurred last
Thursday, Rev. A. W. Gaston per
