Sister Layne, I’m sorry for ye!” The speaker—a tall, gaunt old lady, in a scant gown of blue cheek, and a huge white sun-bon net—sunk into the big willow chair npon Farmer Layne’s vine- covered porch, and began to fan herself with a big turkey wing. Mrs. Layne, a small, -slight old lady, in a brown Holland dress and white apron, a silvery-haireS, plaeid-faced, motherly body, glanced up from the dish-towel that she was busily hemming, and smiled serenely. “Well, now, Abigail, I’m not afraid of Myra,” she observed, quietly. “The girl is a little learn ed, perhaps; but, then, I judge from her letters that she is very modest- over her acquirements. And Harvey thinks there isn’t an other such a woman on the face of the earth. . The visitor sighed lugubrious ly- “I should think that would be a great trial to you!” observed this Job’s comforter. “Yon was alius used to havin’ Harvey look up to you as the fust and last among women! There’ll be a change, sister Layne; there’ll be a change.” Mrs. Layne laughed aloud—a charming little laugh which it did one good to hear “Of course, I expect that, Abi gail!”—spoken with sweet serious ness—“I should be very sorry if Harvejr were to care more for his mother than for his wife. But a mother’s love need not interfere with that other love. And, any way, he aud Myra are married; he will bring her home to-morrow to the old farm, and it will not be my fault is she is not satisfied here, for I intend to do all in my power to make her contented and happy!” “Humph! Wal, I’m sure I hope you’ll never regret it, that’s all!” says Miss Abigail Harris, as she arises to take her departure. Her call has been fashionably short, but then she accomplished the purpose for which she came, and that was something. The following day brought Harvey Layne, only child of the worthy old couple who owned Hillsdale Farm. Home to the old farm-house, and with him a tall, elegant girl—his bride. Myra was not pretty; but one glance into her calm, fair face, with it’s se rious brown eyes, which yet held a merry gleam somewhere in their depths, aud Mrs. Layne held out her arms. “My dear, I hope you will be happy here. We’re plain people —father and I—but we will do all we can to make yon happy for Harvey’s sake.” “And for my owd, I hope,” she said, softly, as she returned the old lady’s affectionate greeting— after which she Vas duly presented to her father-in-law. As the days went by the coming of Harvey’s wife began to work wonders in the old brown farm house. She removed the hideous ornaments from the parlor and sub stituted dainty creations of her own—painted placques, brackets and paintings. A velvet lambre quin soon covered the eyesore of a tall, painted mantel; tidies, orna mented witli gay ribbons, covered the faded repp furniture. The green paper* shades disappeared from the windows, and pretty and inexpensive drapery of delicate scrim took their place. The bas ket of paper flowers vanished like magic from theround table, and in its stead a plnslx-bonnd album in a plush easel. Myra smiled when she arranged it, for she knew that this was common-place in the ex treme: but anything was belter than the paper flowers. Then beantifully embroidered stools and foot-rests began to be scattered throughout the parlor. And when the old deacon proved how corn- feet—he now wore a pair of hand some slippers which the same tire- wife; she treated her with cold civ ility, and steadily refused to be won. It was a case of the sternest prejudice. “She’s a whited sepulcher,” the old spinster wqnld say, grimly, ‘flair enough outside, but within”— and an ominous shake of the head would complete the sentence. But Myra moved quietly on her way. She taught needle-work to all the younger girls around who desired to learn. She was .a milliner, dress-maker, embroiderer, all in one. She trained the budding tal ents of the village artist,and taught him to read Rnskin and to strive to ereate the best. She was an em bryo physician, too, for her knowl edge of what to do in certain emer gencies was found upon more than one occasion to -have saved life. But still Miss Abigail sniffed contemptuously, and turned cold ly from her whenever they chanced to meet. Once, when books were being discussed, Myra offered to send her George Elliott’s “Romo- la,” but was surprised to receive an insulting “No, Thauky, ma’am, I don’t never read books writ by such a critter! A woman that was talked about! Oh, no! I don’t en courage no sich!” And Myra eould not suppress a smile as she observed that neither praise nor blame could touch the divine genius of the author of “Romola.” Now, after that, Miss Abigail seemed to dislike her, if possible, more than ever. And so time wore on until the summer came. The scene of my story is laid in a little country town a few miles from a certain southern city, and over the fair city a dark cloud was slowly gath ering, which was fated'to bring de struction to many. “17611, Miss Abigail’s down at last!” exclaimed Deacon Layne, as he came from the village in his buggy one day. “She’s right sick, they say, and not a soul with her. Fust time I ever knowed o’ Abi gail Harris bein’ ill, eh, wife?” Mrs. Layne looked much con cerned. “Dear, dear, Enos—yes, I never knew her to have a sick day in her life before. Well, we are all grow ing old, Enos, you know.” “Yes, to be sure,”—thoughtfully as though it had struck him for the first time—“I say, wife, do you think it’s possible that Miss Abi gail’s down with the yellow fever? You know she would go over to Jackson last week to sell her wool. Nobody could prevent her going right to the infected city. She’d sold her wool there every year since the war, she wasn’t going to take it ter any other market—so she said. I declare, there goes Dr. Jones! I’ll hail him, and find out what the matter is.” “Yellow fever?” quoth the old doctor, drily. “Yes, to be sura it is, neighbor, the worst case I’ve seen since the epidemic of ’78— just ten years ago. It’s all her own fault—Miss Abigail’s. You know what a hard-headed woman is to deal with.” “No worse than a hard-headed man, Dr. Jones!” cried a cheerful voice, and the next moment the doctor’s hat was off, and he bowing to Harvey’s wife. “What’s that about Miss Abi gail? Sick? And the yellow fe ver? Doctor, you must take , me over there at once. I understand how to nurse the fever perfectly.” “Oh, Myra!” sobbed Harvey’s mother. “Myra!”- exclaimed old Deacon Layne aghast. “Mrs. Layne!” cried the . doctor, in consternation, “you will only risk your life for the sake of a crabbed old woman, who has not long to live at the most.” “But she’s just as precious in God’s sight,” said Harvey Layne’s wife, softly, “and so—if—Harvey doesfnot object—I will go with yon, doctor, and nurse poor old Miss Abigail Why, if v I manage “And so you nursed me—you— Harvey Layne’s wife, that I alias thought wasn’t good for anything but show.

New York Sun. “Who never really meant any wrong at all,” interposed Myra; a pale, wan little Myra now, after long days and nights of watching and nursing—that indefatigable care which alone brings a patient through the horrors of yellow fe ver. “Now, say no more about it, Miss Abigail, and thank God that the contagion has not spread. Yonr’s was the only case. And now the black frost has come, and all danger is over.” Yes, all danger was over, thanks to the heroic woman who had risk ed her own life to nurse her enemy.

Counsel was defending a man indicted for arson in causing his own dwelling to be destroyed to defraud the insurer. The alleged accomplice, a young man, had tes tified to the setting on fire of the building, at the instigation of his employer, the defendant. The witness was corroborated by his father, who testified that when the arrest was made the defendant said to him: “We might have both got off if Schuyler (the son) had not peached and told the whole story.” This, with some suspi cious circumstances, was the evi dence for the prosecution, in addi tion to the proof of over-insu rance. In summing up for the defense got along pretty well in his attack upon the accomplice, by showing his unworthy motive and action,but he found it difficult to approach the subject of the testimony of the father, because there was little in the evidence upon which an attack upon his testimony could be based. Counsel struggled along with the remainder of the topics upon which he wished to speak, hesita ting to approach the subject of the father’s testimony, until luckily a story entered his head. He there upon proceeded in this wise: “Gentlemen, I have now discus sed this ease, and shown you the barrenness of the evidence upon which the learned District Attor ney seeks to send the defendant to prison. I have omitted no topic except the alleged corroboration of the testimony of this accom plice by his father. All I have to say in regard to that is to tell you this story, and let you apply the moral: “A little boy was often whipped by his father for lying. He usual ly took it as a matter of course, but on one occasion the punishment seemed to him to excite reflection. After it- was over he stood before his father in a thoughtful way, which attracted his father’s atten tion. “My son,” said the father, “what are you thinking about?” “Father,” said the son, “when you was a little boy, did you tell Hes?” “No, my son; when I was a lit tle boy I did not tell lies.” _ “Father,” returned the son,“when mother was a little girl, did she use to tell lies?” “No, my son,”'returned the fa ther; “when yonr mother was a lit tle girl she didn't tell lies. But why do yon ask me the questions?” “Well,” said the little fellow, drawing a long sigh, “it’s the most mysterious thing in the world to me that a father who never told lies when he was a little boy, and a mother who never told lies when she was a little girl, should have a boy that tells as many lies as I do.” The defendant was acquitted. be at all surprising if the bid ding for its lease should be spirit ed. A few days ago the report was set afloat that the Louisville and Nashville intended to build a road that would give it an Atlanta con nection, and which would greatly injure the state road. The Louis ville and Nashville may have such an intention, but it is quite safe to say that it will not do so as long as there is a chance for it to get the state road. The state road has a business of which it cannot be de prived by any road that is likely to be built. It is true that roads could be built that would greatly injure it, and that is one of the reasons that has influenced the Morning News in advising the sale of it, but there is no immediate prospect of the building of any such road, not withstanding the report to the contrary. It is worth noticing that Mr. John H. Inman and his party of capitalists, when they visited At lanta the other day to attend the chamber of commerce banquet, came from Chattanooga over the Western and Atlantic instead of the East Tennessee, and it is said that Mr. Inman’s car was the last one on the train and that he occu pied a seat most of the way on the rear platform. From this it is to be inferred that he feels a very great interest in the road, and that the Richmond Terminal may be a bidder for it. In a Chattanooga dis patch he is quoted as saying, ‘We do not intend the lease to Tie given away to the Louisville and Nash ville.” If the Richmond Terminal and the Louisville and Nashville should bid for theroad, the chances are that-tlie state would get more than §35,000 a month for it. that has not yet been lifted. They have not forgotten* yet how the high price for cotton expanded credit, encouraged extravagance and spread mortgages over thous ands of once prosperous farms and homes in this section. Remembering these things of the past, will they again be delud ed by the price of ten cents for cotton into curtailing. their corn and other food crops? Or will they now pursue the more sensible and self supporting policy sought to to be inculcated through the principles-of the alli ance, of growing and producing an abundance of needed supplies at home, no matter what may be the price of cotton. It matters not if it were known that cotton would command twen ty cents for the next ten years, it would be the safer and surer poli cy for each and every farmer in the cotton region to raise on his own farm an abundance of corn, meat, wheat and all food supplies. This the Southern farmers can do, and at the same time grow cotton enounh to supply the world when supplemented with that grown in other countries. If this be done, and it can be done, then, whether cotton be sold for ten cents, or twenty cents, in a few years our farmers will become masters of the situation, and will be money-lenders instead of mon ey-borrowers as now. is coxsTnnPTioN incurable!

Astonished. The world was astonished at the manifestation of love and admira tion that lay deep down in the hearts of the Southern people for their late leader, Hon. Jefferson Davis. Though the cause was long since lost, and they accept in good faith the new order of things, their love for this great man was none the less sincere, and the over whelming demonstrations shown on every hand speak eloquently in deed the sentiments of .millions of onr best people.

Since then there has been an exodus of disgusted desperadoes into Okla homa, and their track to the latter place is marked by crime and out rage of every description. that time Uncle Reuben Slathers, an old colored man, was coming into town with his mule and a “j’ag” of wood.

She had come to a halt of her own accord, and the old man sat with his month open and gazed in astonishment. Not for long, however. Some of the bees skirmishing abound on the outside concluded to feel of the old mule an d see what she was made of, and as about fifty stingers en tered her feelings at. once she rear ed up, uttered a terrific snort and started off at break-neck speed. Uncle Reuben was dumped into the road at the first jump, and as he scrambled up and saw the mule on a dead run, with the sticks of wood flying and the wheels shed ding spokes at every turn, he raised his hands and shouted: T takes it all back, Julius! said back dar dat Fd sell yo’ fur §2 an’ a leetle ’possum, but mewls has suddenly riz.

Thus it seems that the cheapness of food has its cons as well as its pros. Youth is sweet with its fiery en terprise, and I suppose mature manhood will be just as much so, though in a calmer way, and age, quieter still, will have its own merits—the thing is only to do with life what we ought, and is suited to each of its'stages; do all, enjoy all—and I suppose these two rules amount to the same thing.
