O ship of state, sail strong and free
Around the reefs and shoals of fate,
On history’s majestic S6a,

Keep at the helm the wise and great;
Shun those false lights along the lee—
The fires of party greed and hate.
Let white-robed truth and honor be
Thy mighty captain and thy mate,
To brave all .storms of destiny,

Aberdeen bad fallen, and tbe
brave cavaliers of Montrose rode
tfirimpharitly into the ancient city.
Tbe maidens of Aberdeen flocked
to their high casements to gaze up
on tbe cavalcade of handsome ri
ders, for Enough'11® men of Aber
deen had oftered wavered between
the king and covenant, tbe women
were loyal, and dearly loved the
bold cavaliers.
The leader of this little troop
was an especial favorite among tbe
fair damsels, and indeed be was a
goodly sight to look upoD, bestrid
ing a snow-white charger, and clad
in the showy, not to say gaudy,
habiliments of a cavalier of that
period. His doublet and trunks
Were of crimson velvet, puffed and
slashed with white satin, heavily
embroidered with gold, and cover
ed with innumerable bows and
streamers of white satin ribbon.
His features were regular,and wore
an expression of geniality, though
the well cut lip, shaded by a slight
mustache,aud sharply defined chin,
with its Vandyke beard, gave evi
dence of energy aud decision. His
long light hair fell in “love lock's’
npon his shoulders, aud mingled
with the white, drooping plumes of
his broad leafed hat. A cuirass of
polished steel covered his. breast
and a richly embroidered baldric
supported a loDg flexible rapier by
his side. ' Such was Lord George
Gordon, Montrose's general of cav
alry, as he rode into Aberdeen that
day, at the head of his troop, to
take possession in the “king’s
name..”. _ .
No wonder the maidens of Aber
deen flocked to their casements to
gaze upon him, for he was known
far aud near throughout tho laud
The English called him the second
cavalier of Scotland, placing the
Marquis of . Montrose only before
him. In-the lowlands he was call
ed the “Gay Gordon of tbe Gari-
oeh.” Among his native hills,
where his father, the Marquis of
Huntly, reigned like a petty king
amid his clan, he was kuown as .the
“Hope of Huntly.”
There was one maiden in Aber
deen, bolder than her companions,
who stole down to the pavement
all unconscious of danger, to have
a nearer view of the cavaliers.
Marjorie Sinclair had stolen away
from her nurse, and gayly walked
along the street, rejoicing in her
freedom.
She heeded not that the streets
were deserted aud doors and win
dows securely barred. Many a
warning cry was shouted to her
from the high casements, bat she
tamed a deaf ear and pursued her
way.
She heard the tramping of the
horses’ hoofs as the cavaliers ap
proached, and crouched beneath a
neighboring door arch to gaze up
on them.
A baud of McColl’s highlanders
had entered the city with Gordon’s
troop, and were roviug like wild
beasts,reckless of restraint,through
the streets.-, One of these chanced
to spy Marjorie. With a cry of de
light, he pounced npon her aud
dragged her oat into the street. A
scream of affright burst from her
lips and she gave herself up for
lost, when a horse plunged sudden
ly against her assailant and dashed
him to the earth, a strong arm en
circled her waist, she was lifted
lightly up, and the next moment
she found herself seated npon a
horse, clinging in terror to a caval
ier, whose arm held her securely
to his breast. 1
“Nay, trouble not,. my pretty
one; I mean yon no harm,” said
the cavalier in reassuring tones.
She gazed timidly in his face.
There was a .world of' truth and
honor beaming in the dark bl no
eyes that gazed so curiously into
■her brown ones, Her eyes; sinking
beneath his ardent, gaze, fell upon
his rich attire.

rose and thorn grow alike npon the

by that brother’s counsel—why
venture forth into the streets at
this perilous time?’’
Oh, noble sir, I feared for my
brother’s safety, and I ventured
forth to learn if he was slain or
taken prisoner.” \
“Neither, my pretty one; he still
lives to work farther mischief
against onr cause. Where is your
dwelling?”
“In the Cripple gate.’
“Allow me to conduct you thith
er. You are not safe abroad while
McColl’s wild highlanders roam
the streets.”
He put spurs to his horse, and
the mettled steed soon bore them
to her door. Gordon resigned the
girl to her old nurse,who was over
joyed at beholding her again. Thus
did Marjorie and Gordon first
meet.
It is easy to foresee what follow
ed. The white steed of the Gay
Gordon stood often before the door
of Marjorie’s humble dwelling,aud
the fair name of the maiden re
ceived a stain never to be effaced.
The royal army marched on to
fresh victories, and Marjorie’
dream of love was rudely dispelled.
Her cheek grew pale, and her eyes
were dimmer with weeping for her
absent cavalier.
One dark and stormy night,
while she sat solitary and sad in
her chamber, she was suddenly
aroused by the sound of heavy
-footsteps and the rattling of spurs
upon the stairs. With her thoughts
upon one only, she sprang to the
door and threw it open.
• “Gordon!” she exclaimed joyful
ly, “Gordon, is it yon?”
A man enveloped in a cloak en
tered. He cast aside the cloak and
disclosed a face of sinister aspect
a stern, dark face with scowling
brows. It was her. brother.
“Randall!” she cried in affright.
“Aye, Randall, minion, and not
your paramour, the Gay Gordon.
“What mean you? I do not un
derstand yon!” cried Marjorie in
amazement and indignation.
“Are yon not the leman of
George Gordon of Huntly?” thun
dered Randall.
“No!” answered Majorie, un
dauntedly, “before heaven, no!”
And as if to corroborate : her
words, a loud peaL.of thunder
broke over the house, shaking it to
its very foundation.
“This show of innocence will not
avail you. Was not the name of
yonr betrayer npon yonr lips even
as I entered-? Did you not expect
him here in'your chamber at mid
night?”
‘No, I did not expect him. He
was in my thoughts, I own—he is
never absent from them. I longed
to behold him, and that longing
brought his name to my lips.
“shallow artifice! You are lost to
ail shame, I see. Qh, [ have heard
the whole story, and I ground my
teeth in unavailing rage as I did
so. I nave heard how yon rode

resolved themselves into action.
Her fair name was gone^that was
evident—then what had she to
fear? She would go hers.elf to the
camp of the royalists. She muffled
herself in her hood and mantle and
fearlessly went forth into the dark
ness and the storm.
When she made kuown her mis
sion at the gate which opens upon
the bridge crossing the river, she
was informed by tbe warden, who
was interested by her sad, sweet
face, that a detachment with sup- !
plies was to set forth in the morn
ing and she could undoubtedly ob
tain a conveyance. He advised her
to wait, aud offered hsr a shelter in
the guardhouse until the hour of
departure. Marjorie thanked bin?
for his kindness and gladly accept
ed his offer. In the morning she
set forward with the detachment.
Great was Gordon’s astonishment
when a soldier ushered Marjorie
into his tent. When they were
alone together she threw herself
into his arms and sobbed as if her
heart would break. When at last
she could sufficiently master her
emotion, she exp'ained the object
oE her visit.
“Dear Marjorie,” said Gordon,
in much perplexity, “yon have act
ed very rashly in thus coming to
me. Consider how you are com
promising your fair name.”
“It is already compromised.”
“What mean you?”
“They call me in Aberdeen the
light o’ love of the Gay Gordon.”
By heaven 1 they shall call you
something else ere many days are
past. As for yonr brother’s threats,
I heed them Dot—threatened men
long. I can easily guard
against his assaults.”
“Do you think so?” cried the
voice of Randall Sinclair, as he
suddenly peered into the tent.
“Guard yourself now!”
The report of a pistol, miugled
with a woman’s shriek,rang through
the tent, which was filled with
smoke from the explosion. When
the sulphurous vapor cleared away
Gordou held Marjorie in his arms,
and gazed despairingly upon the
crimson stream that slowly welled
from her fair bosom. The devoted
girl had perceived her lover’s per
il, thrown herself before him, and
received in her own breast the
deadly bullet intended for him.

The Dallas News has been gath
ering statistics to show how the
sugar bounty law of the Reed con
gress works in actual practice, and
the result is not pleasing. Four
teen sngar growers in Texas, the
News says,- received §176,301,73,
or an average of more than $12,-
000. In Lonisana 619 prodneers
received $6,882,589.82, or an aver- -
age of over $11,000. Thp aggregate,
including other states, will run to
something over S7,000,000. Lon-:
isiana receives in the. one year
more than is to be appropriated fori
the Galveston harbor. The bene
ficiaries of the bounty in Louisiana
number just 619 people. * The .
beneficiaries of the Galveston bar- .
bor appropriation number directly
the total population of the -West,:
and indirectly every man, womrin
and child in the United States. ',
The harbor appropriation is a:
public good, the sugar bounty a;
private snap.. The fourteen sngar ;~
planters in Texas receive an anna- ■
ity of over §12,000 each, while .
more tto.n 100,000 cotton farmers
receive only what the demapd of
the world’s markets affords. There i
are in Texas 4,054830 acres of |
cotton, worth §71,031,282 The fr ;
profit on the eotton is infinitesimal, V
and yet the men who make it di
vide it with' these fourteen sugar 5
planters. That is the eqaity of
the case. The principle is the
same protection .robbery that h:is
irapovished the consumers of all
P'-otected articles for the enrich
ment of a few producers. The
$176,000 benefit to the fonrtein
sugar planters in Texas at the ex
pense of over 100,000' other farm
ers and over 2,000,000 general pop!
ulation illustrates the iniquity of
the protective system, which is the
same in effect, whether operated J
by import tax or bounty tax. The
Louisiana sugar, bounty would
purchase 137,651,'780 pounds of le-
fined sugar at the retail price of
five cents a pound. Distributed
among the cotton farmera-of Texas
this wonld amount to something
over 100 pounds of sugar each.
Some of these same cotton farmers
go withont sweetening for then-
coffee and their, children-without
pies for the lack of money to buy .
sugar, but these sugar farmers do
not go without shirts and sheets
for the lack of money to bay cot
ton. Thus are the many taxed to
make the government rich that it
may bestow favors upoh the few.

Hairpins are made by automatic
and very complicated machines.
The coiled wire is putupon drums,,
and becomes straightened as it
feeds itself to the machine. It
passes along until it reaches two
cutters which point the ends at
the same time that they cut it'to
the length required.’ This piece
of wire*then slips, along an iron
plate until it reaches a slot,
through which it is pressed info
the regular shape. The hairpins
are then put into a pan and japan-
ed, after which they are heated in
an oven with a temperature of
from 300 to 400 degrees. There
are but fonr American factories.
The largest are *in Birmingham
and Waterbary, Conn., the others
in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
