Ho went away leaving her terribly an

As she stood there alone, Major Glen
ville came up and aSked her to join him in
thdprtlkk. Ih her angry mood she joined
him, and with deliberate malice dauced
everything Wallace had prohibited.
The last dance before supper was the
German. Hhe was in the middle of a
figure, when looking up she saw him stan
ding in the old place, leaning against tho
j door casing, regarding her with a look
which went to her hoiirt. It, Was not so
milch that it had anger in it; but it was
full of sadness, as if lie were mourning

■Then came the angry fit. What light

It was his own doifigs, and he would be
back soon, to b'g lmr juy don. Would he ?
FiVen a! she made the assertion her heart
told her that he was not tho man to do
anything of that sort.
In her linger hlic accepted the escort of
Glouville to the supper table to tho sur
prise of her friends.
“Where is Wallace ?” asked Nellie Bel
lick, bending toward her across the table.
“How do I know ?” she said a little pet
tishly. “Am I his keeper ?”
“I though you were,” replied Nellie.
“0 Ido so hope you have quareled ! i
want him myself. lam getting tired of
Charley Merrill. He is such a tease."
This speech was Aocompaied by a sly
glance at (.’hurley, who looked supreme
ly confident.
“Nell couldn’t got. alone without mo,”
he said. “As. for Wallace Thornton, he
w ouldn’t have such iilliglit little piece of
impudence, I wish l had his brains.”
“Hope for possibilities, Charley, dear,”
said Nellie. -,
This butifer was Anything but pleasant
to Marion. By this time she was misera
ble.
He did not come back. The attentions
of the major beeoirfe Odious to her. She
watched tlie door furtively, in tho hope
that lie might appear, if did come in uf
| ter awhile, and took a seat near the upper
i end of the table. Charley Merrill saw him
j and called him down, lie refused, and,
after sitting a moment, went away. Tim,
| lights were dim to Marion after that; the j
tlowoiji laded; thttiuusici a discord. She
| went away directly after supper, refusing I
! the company of Glouville again. He 1
■ ground his white teeth when she was
| gone, tpvqrq f . Hpuieli oath, run! went 1
; back t’o the bull room.
Of course Wallace was as miserable ns j
■ she. He lmd loved her too dearly to forget j
| her soon. He took to haunting solitary j
| places iu the woods, taking his gun with j
| him but never bringing any game.
One day he came close to the grounds of j
■ Mr. Carroll. Lying down under a tree, i
j thinking bitterly of the days when he lmd
sut there with Marion, ho hoard voices;
; near him. He started to rise, but they ;
were so close tojliim that they must see i
- him, besides, he heard Marion’s voice, j
aud could not stir. The sound lmd still
power to charm him.
"Be silent, sir !" she was saying.—“l
have given you encouragement to pursue
me, I cauuot love you—l do uot even like
you ?”
“That is nothing, Miss Marion,” said
j the voice of Gleuville. "All in good
time. You will love me after yon forget
! vour old flame. The ridiculous fellow did
’ His own business.”
“1 will uot hoar another woid from you. '

forgive me. But go; you hud much to do
with it, and remember this, that I love
him more dearly now, when ho has left
ino, than evyr before, indeed I never
knew how much 1 loved biui until this bit
ter hour.”
Wallace could endure no more.—He
came forward with a lioumiug face, both
hands extended.
“Forgiven, my darling 1 Let us never
speak of it again. If yours lias been a bit
ter lesson so has mine ; but i think all un
happiness atoned fur by this moment’s

“Confound it!” said Glenville, gnaw
ing his lip, “I am in tho way I guess.
I wish you good day, Miss Mgrion. Y'ou
timed your pretty speech nicely.”
“Mnjor Gianvillo,” said Walhice, "a
cheque for three hundred dollars was cash
ed at the batik yesterday. The signature
wua mine, the party presenting it was
yourself. I have only to say that the
quicker you leave Currolton, the better it
will be for you.”
It is needless to say he took the hint.
People who have never heard this story
wonder why Mrs. Thornton is so averse to
waltzing. She keeps her counsel well.
Major Glenville is now living at tho expense
of the State in Anhnrn.

General Sam. Houston's Coat of Arms.
Near forty years ngo General Bam,
Houston and General White fought a duel
in Simpson conuty, six miles south of
Franklin, in a woods near the State line,
now a farm of H. J Duncan Bsq. Years
after this event, General H. thought
proper to adopt a coat of arms, and the
emblems used were suggested by circum
stances wliicli transpired during his stay
at his boarding-house—B. Duncan's—
preliminary to the day of conflict.
There were on the premises two puppies
with decided Ishmnelitio proclivities.
Nothing it seemed, short of each other's
bipod or life, would suffice to satiuTe their
wrath. The dogs wero named Jackson
and Benton—these names wf>rc suggested
by the filed then existing between Jackson
and Benton, whose tenacity of purpose
was exemplified by this canine couple.
Gen. Houston was no idle spectator of
the conflict raging between the two Ameri
can champions, but was a fast friend of
Gen. Jackson. The mere name of one of
the dogs was sufficient to claim the atten
tion of (Jen. Houston, and ill the many en
counters ho witnessed between them he
was sure to see that ltjs favorite hud fair
play. Tlrti night fiefore the duel lie; asked
ids host to wake him up just at two o’clock
a. M. Olio minute before that hour ho was
awakened by the crowing of a chicken
cock under his window. Though he de
nied being in any way superstitious, yet
the circumstance impressed him with an
iilqu <yuinous of victory in the coming bat
tle; lfra ’attendants being asleep be con
cluded to while away the hour iu moulding
bullets. Just as the first one was made he
r ognized the lainiliar salutation of las
favorite dog Jackson at, the door. This
again inspired him with courage, and he
did not conceal the fact from his atten
dants. Baid he to my brother, “I never
was more sure of any coming event than
that I should bo victorious, and, if these
circumstances did not conspire to produce
this assurance, I know what did.” In af
ter years, still remembering the circum
stance, he thought proper to emblaze liis
coat of arms with a game chicken and a
faithful dog emblematical of courage
and fidelity. -Franklin (Ay.) Patriot.

Ancestors of Washington and Franklin.
We take tho following extract from the
! “Life of Washington” by Fdward Everett:
i “It may be mentioned as a somewhat
1 striking fact, and one, I believe, not hith
i erto adverted to —that the families of
i Washington aud Franklin-—tho former
j tho great leader of the American Revolu
tion, tho latter not second to any of his
i patriotic associates—wuro established in
1 the same central county of Northampton,
and within a few miles of each other; the
Washingtons, at, Brington and Sulgruve,
belonging to (he landed gentry of the
country, nnd in the Brest civil war sup
porting tho foynl side: the Franklins at
the village of Eetou, living on the produce
of a farm of thirty acres, aud the earn
ings of their trade as blacksmiths, and
espousing—some of them, at least, and
I the father and uncle of Benjamin Franklin
j among tho number —the principles of
I non-conformists. Their respective emi
grations, germs of great events in history,
took place—that of John Washington, the
great-grandfather of George, iu ltif)7, to
loyal Virginia: that of Josinh Franklin,
the father of Benjamin, about the year
1685, to the metropolis of puritan New
England. ”
Florida Productions.
The produetsons, natural and artificial,
of Florida, are chiefly those which require
a tropical sun to mature their fruits, it is
not, however, imfivly in tropical products
that Florida possesses advantages over
every other State in the Ulfiou. It is now
! established, beyond a doubt, that the sea
island or long staple cotton, the produc
tion of which was confined ton few islands
on the coast of South Carolina and Georgia,
will grow luxuriantly even in the very
j renter of the Peninsula, on lands over re
| gardeil as the least value iu Florida, The
i soil is also adapted to the successful onlti-
I vatiou of the coffee plant, cocoa, sugar
cane, rice, indigo, arrowroot, sisal hemp,
New Zelaud flax, etc. Land which has
been cultivated for twenty years without
the use of fertilizers, is knowu to yield
I’sooo pounds of sugar, and 800 gallons
of molasses per acre. Of tobacco there
may be three cuttings in a year, and the
average yield is 700 pounds per acre. The
poorest lands will produce a luxuriant crop
of sisal hemp, the profit upon which is as
great as upon any of the products of the
fertile soils Indigo may be seen growing iu
its wilil’state.

Let X our Wife Know Your Situation.
An exchange sav-st —It is a custom too
common wit h tho men of the world to keep
their families in utterjignorauoc of the sit
uation of tlieir business. The wife knows
nothing—has not even an idea —of the
amount of her husband’s fortune, whether
it is to be counted by hundreds or thou
sands. What can a woman bo kept in
such ignoraaoe learn ? Bhe spends, as a
matter of course, all he gives her to spend,
with the full confidence that when that is
gone, and she asks for it, he will give her
her moro. If an unmarried woman works
she may go with a bold, nnblushing face,
and demand her wages; but a wife cau de
mand nothing; her claim is onlyifor bare ne
cessity, aud geuerons men, on that account
are often too indulgent, too fearful of let
ting a wife know tho exact state of her
husband's finances, understand his plans,
and aid him, if possible, with her counsels,
and then these terrible catastrophes would
uot so often happen. Many a wife who is
plunging her husband deeper and deeper
into debt from ignorance would, if she
knew his embarrassments, be the first to
retrench, and with true womanly sympathy
aud generosity, help him to reinstate his
falling fortunes,
Advice to Correspondents.
There are a few thing* that wo would
like to impress upon the minds of those
whose fortune, or misfortune, necessitate
their sending correspondence to a news

Write pluiuly. Not to do so is to make
un item almost valueless, and sometimes
worse than useless.
If you write a “hack” hand, learn to

Don’t underline every adjective in (lie

A Saloon Keeper’s Death Caused by a
Visit From a Praying Band.
The temperance questiou is receiving a
great deal of attention m Douglass at pres
ent. On Fast Day a uuiou mass meeting
was held, aud a committee of ladies aud
| Gentlemen appointed to wait outlie liquor
| dealers. Ou Saturday the ladies called
! upon one of the principal saloons, the pro
prietor, Mr. L. Simpson, having refused
s* see the geutlemen, and were received
| very politely. He was asked if he thought
it right to sell liquors, aud responded:;
“Yes, as right as for grocers to sell gro
ceries.”
One of the ladies then read several pas
sages from the Bible reuuii iug, “Let us
see what the Lord says.” On hearing the
Scriptures relating to the auger of the
Lord with drunkards and those who sell
liquor, the proprietor turned pale, trembled
violently, und clutched tho counterconvul
j sively for support. The many loungers iu
the sidoon were stupefied, and only offered
assistance when urged by the ladies. On
being led into another room bo cried
: several times, “O God ! have mercy ou my
| soul 1” Immediately bis tongue began
! swelling, tilling his mouth to such an
extent as to lender it impossible to artic

Tho ladies did all in their power to
make him comfortable, and a physician
was scut for, who, ou arriving, pro
nounced it a case of appoplexy, and iu a
short time the man died. The community
was, of course, startled with the news, und
the feeling for Hr. Simpson is inteuse.
j Tlie ladies all agreed that it was the direct
work of the Lord, and even some of the
frequenters of tlie suloon acquiesced iu
Ibis decision. —Poston Advertiser.
Cremation.
No Less personage than the bishop of
Manchester, England, hss taken up the
argumentative cudgels in favor of crema
tion. The reverend bishop was about to
consecrate a graveyard, and in the course
; of liis remarks lie alluded to the possibili
ty of a change of the custom of burial iu
favor of the older rite, iu the course of, the
I coming century. Ho argued strongly in
I contradiction of the idea that burial isnec
| essary to a final resurrection, maintaining
I that it would lie as easy for God to raise
I up a body at the resurrection, if needs be,
| out of elementary particles which hud
been liberated liy the burning as it would
be to raise up a body from dust and form
the elements of bodies which had passed
into the structure of worms. In the course
of his sermon the bishop also alluded to
the words used in tho Church of Englaml
Burial Service, to tho effect that the dead
were commit ted to dust “in sure and cer
tuiu hope of the resurrection to enternal
life." He said tlmt some people tnouglit
from that that the church believed that
with regard to every oue committed to the
grouud they entertained a sure aud certain
hope of tlie resurrection to eternal life.
That expression, however, merely meant
that they performed the act iu full belief
of tlie doctrine of the resurrection.
Whether a man would rise again to the
resurrection. of salvation or damnation
must depend on God’s inexorable worid
laws.
Too Late.
A couple were arranging terms for a
| separation, to avoid the scandal of a ju-
I diciftl divorce, and a friend had boon em
; ployed i v tho husband to negotiate the
matter. The latest mission was in refer-
I euoe to a valuable ring given to the wife
before marriage by the husband. For
this he would make a certain lunch-desired
concession. Tho friend made the demand.
“What 1” said the indignant wife, “do
! you venture to charge yourself with such
j a mission to me? Can you believe that I
could tear myself from a gift which alone
recalls to me the days when my husband
| loved me? No 1 this ring is my only sou
venir of liapiness for ever departed ! ’Tie
all"—aud hero she wept—“that I now
! possess of a once fond husband. ” The
friend, however, insisted. The lady sup
plicated, grew obstinate, grew desperat,
threatened to submit to a public divorce as
ala ser evil than parting with the cher
ished ring, aud at last confessd that she
had sold it six months before.
Another fatal blunder by a drng clerk is
reported. A man who had a discussion
about family matters with his wife, and
came out second best, threatened to com
mit siftcide, and went out to a drug store
I and asked for twenty-five cents worth of
stryehniue. Tho ignorant drug clerk in-
I stead of putting up poison, gave him
some harmless drug in mistake, and blun
deringly labeled it “strychnine.” The
man took it home, gulped it down, in the
presnoe of his wife, and then threw himself
down upon tho lounge to die. Hkavife in
stead of running for a phycian aiitok stom
ache pump, w aited until she thought lie
was dead, an then commenced to rifle his
pockets for his loose change. He was on
his feet iu an instant, and instead of dying
he made it very lively for his better-half
for about ten minutes; and then he threat
ened to get a shot-gun and shoot the drug
clerk, and his wife said if he didn’t she
would. And now discord and such things
dwell in' that house, all on account of a
blundering drug clerk.
