Angu it 30 and 31 they kept the mutter of the wreck a proicund Secret, and it was a secret well kept, for it was not until the night of the 31st of August that the news reached the city. In tho meantime our industrious pilots had worked both day and night like beavers, having entire possession of both beach and. cargo. They managed to have many a goodly pile stored up at different points on the beach worth thousands of dollan.

Thia was tho first sorrow—tho trial of leaving home and mother—hot it was fleeting, for, in the excitement of setting up housekeeping in the white cottage on ’Spuire Blackburn’s farm, the tittle sorrow was forgotten.

"It’s curious we can't get along with out so much quarreling." said Marsh, one winter day. Mattie felt the tears in her eyes in a moment, and her heart softened toward Marsh, and she was about to confess her failings and ask forgiveness, when he continues: “ICs all your hateful temper, Mattie —you know ifls.” “That was enough, and what was meant to be a reconciliation was simply another quarrel. Oh, dear me; it is my wretched temper—I know it is,” sobbed Mattie after Marsh went out, "but he need not have said so.” “If I only wasn't so blunt,” said Marsh to himself with a sigh. So things went from bad to worse. Little mistakes were imagined into terri ble wrongs. The neighbors had thei- fill of gossip about tbe matter, and. finally, one day when Marsh was away Mattie thought the thing over. iV. A. STROTHER, 20. ALBANY, GEORGIA. Oice overGiM’s Bn Store.
