Sue is probably the richest negro woman in the world. dirnmi d( gi|| % colli bNOWED IN One cloudy wilder morning, not less than twenty years ago, there "as at: unusual commotion about acertain little old house standing far up on the St, John River. \\ ithin, Mrs. Grace sat before tlie great fire place iu the fore room, so bundled up in shawls and blankets and hoods that she could scarcely stir. In a warm corner of the hearth lay three or four hot brinks, well wrapped in news papers, and two home-made robes were hanging across a chair to warm, everything indicating pre parations for a long cold jouney. Without Mr. Grace was hitching the old red mare into the tlii ls of the still older red pung, that looked as if it might have come over in the “Mayflower.” His rouud good natured face wore a troubled ex pression, and he jerked at old Dolly's bit once or twice in an un gentle wav which wasn’t like him self. The small part of Mrs. Grace’s face that was visible among the folds of her home knit hood show ed the same look of auxiety, and her voice trembled a great deal when she spoke to the children and gave Charley her 'ast direc tions. There were four of the children- IXan and Emma, and Joe and Charley—though Charley was not oue of the G race children. Mrs. Grace had taken her—a wee, lame, little mite—when Cure was no oue else to take her. and she often declared ttat she couldn’t and didn’t love one of her own lit tle ones better than she could love Charley. Emma, Dean and Joe round, rosy little bodies of three five and seven years, blue eyed and yellow-haired. Charley was eleven, and she was neither round nor rosy. Her face was thin and her eyes w. re big and shadowy. And Charley was lame. There was a pair of tiny crutches always by her chair. “I cculd’nt think of going,” said Mrs- Grace, “if Charley wash’ t the wise patieut little mother I know she is. I never was so worried in my life, Rut what can Ido ?” It was a hard question to an s v«r, indeed. For the night be fore had come a letter to Mrs. C race from her sist6r iu a distant town, saying that her mother and the children’s dear old grand mother was very ill. “Come at once,” the letter read ; and it was old when Mr. Rrinpgold who lived two miles above them, was their nearest neighbor in the sparsely settled region, brought ic from toe post-oftice five below. It was little to be wondered at that the tears filed poor Mrs. Grace's eyes, that her lips quivered and her voice shook. “I cju/d’nt go if it was not for trusting in Charley so,” she re peited time and again, in tones that brought a pretty glow to Charley’s little thin face. “I know you will take good caie of them dear. T 1 ere is bread enough baked, and I’ve lef, the jtr of doughnuts In the closet.” “Oh, good again!” cried Joe. “Can we have what we want ? Wou’t it be fun, Charley ?” “You must have what Charley gives you, said Mis Grace and at tend to what Cbatlejr Buy. I’ve locked the pantry dooi so you can’t bother her by running in and ou'. Now—” She looked at Charley as the outer door opened. “I’ll do just the best I can,” said Charley, bravely. “I know you will, deir. Be good children, all of you.” ‘■There’s wood enough piled up in the entry lo last you,” said Mr. Grace, u little huskily. “We shall be back day after to-morrow night sure. All ready wife.” And a few moments later old Delly was jogging at her be9t pace town ibe snowy level of the r iver. It was thirty long iniies to Dunbar Corner. “I wish they weie home again,’ said Joe. “They will be before you know it/’ laughed Charley. “Now I’ll tell ycu a story,'’ So the three little ones cuddle 1 around Charley s chair before the open fire while she told them the OLTR OWN SKOTION W . LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. APRIL 14 1886. wonderful tale of the “Three Tiny Pigs, and from the first to the last they listened breathlessly, though they bad heard the same story many 1 imes before, no loubt. Chari, y had a wonderful gift for telling stories. Mrs Grace often declared. And Charley had a gift for something beside story--t,ellrg. When the stories came to and end she smiled. “Bring me my box, will you, Joey, please ?” Charley asked. Her poor ittle limbs tvtre so west and misshapen that it was with difficulty she could move about, even with the aid of her crunches. Toe obeyed; climbing up on the wide four-posted bed in the cor ner and taking from a shelf nbov6 a square woodtn box with a sliding cover. Dean And Emmy knew what was coming then. “Dive me the kitty,” pleaded Emmy. “And me die mooses,” said Dean. “They’re deers, goosey,’ said Joe, with a liit/e scornfull sniff. “Let me so? nil of ’em, won’t you, Charley ?” Charley smiled in the brightest way and pulled off ibe cover.— Shall I tell you what was there ? The daintiest little images under the sun, carved ali in w<od, and ihe largest oue scarcely four iuebs high. 1/ is true they were the work of a single awkward tool, iu mi tang hi linger-, but if yon had seet. them. I am sure you sould not have helped exclaiming, with Joe and Dean and Emmy: “Oh, Charley, how pretty they are !” They were exceedingly true to life, too. There was the old house cat, which Emmy ins'antly appropriated—why, you could al most hear her drowsy purr— and there was Dean's “mooses,” with Iheirdolica/e branching horns, and a pair of rabbits eat dig clover, and a cunning deeping b&by, and there was old Dolly herself send ing with drooping head and lop ped ears—lazy Dolly. “I’d know her anywheres,’’ laughed Joe. Charley langed, too and fingered her treasures lovingly. Her ehesks glowed, aud her eyes were starry. ‘•Do you think they're nice V she asked; ‘as nice as some they have in the stores at Christmas time Joey V “Nicer,” replied Joe, in a tone expressive of great wisdom and ex perience, “a whole heap nicer.” “Well,” pursued Charley, “I'm going to make all I can, and when I get enough I’ll sand them to sell. Mrs Ringgold said they ought to be worth half dollar a piece. ” 0-oh !” cried Joe, qui e taken aback bv this prospect of unbound ed wealth. “'.Vhat’ll you do with so much ’ ’ “I know” put in Dean, “Ycu’D get cured wont you Chaney ?’ The quick tears sprang to Char ley’s dark eyes: “I will, if I can” she seid, and she pulled Emm) to her, and hid her face in the baby’s yellow curls, “Maybe I can’L” Mr. Perks said you could go to see Dr. Lester, He can cure everything.” Rut it will cost a great deal of money—maybe a hundred dollars, said Charley, i’ll have 'o make two hundred of these, Joey. “Well, you ain’t going to wait that long,” declared Joe, stoutly. “Kathir says just as the old farm pays anything, He’s going to take you 'o Fiedrickton, to see Dr. Les ler. Maybe ’twill pay next sum mer ; we’re going to have a cow then. And we haven't been here long enough yet, you know.” rhat'll be real nice,” said she. “Now, after dinner, I’ll cut out sometbiug morß.” “I ihink its real fun,” said Joe Rut Charley only shook head snd B miled again. Well, that day passed and the next aud the time /lie sun did no/ once show his face The clouds hung heavy and black, and dark came early, and weather-wise Joe with his nose against the window prophesied a sioi in. •1 hope twou't come: though, till father and uto Iter ure home." lie said. It did, however. When the children awoke next morning the snow was falling fast and steadily iu large flakes. It had grown very much colder, too, iu the night Poor Tot teetl chattered spitefully even after he had raked open the bed of c mis in the fire place and built i roaring tire. The wind came up with the sun ; it whistled and raved along U e b'eak river shore iD a way that set the timbers of tne old house to creaking dole fully. “I don’t believe they'll come to night,’’ said Joe, when dark began to fall. “Won’, they, Charley “Oh, Charley, won't’em?” “Do you s’pose a wolf chased father an’ mother ?" asked Joe, with a dismal quaver, breaking iu up n the narrative of the “Tiny Eig.”. “ i wolf couldn’t catch our Dol ly,” said Dean quickly; she's too smart and big.’’ Charley laughed. For the world she would not have acknowledged that such a possibility had occur red to her own mind. “It’s the storm that keeps them, she said cheerily. It's a dreadful storm, you. They’s be here to morrow-—I know they will.” But to morrow came and went— a long dreary, freezing day, and the fifth morning dawned. How biiterly cold it was, and how the wind whistled through and through the house ! The storm had ceased but of this the children could not be sure since the windows were banked high with the snow, and when Joe tried to open the outer door a white wall repelled him Their store of provisions too, was nearly exausted and that seemed worse than all, until Joe came in from /tie entry with his arms full of wood, and his eyes full of tears. “That s every bit there is,” he quavered. “Oh, Cuarley, why (lou’L father come?” “He will,” said Charley, with a brave blight smile, though her heart was like lead. “Now we’ll be eal saving ot this wood, and only put on one stick at a time.” Oh, how cold the room grew ! —colder and colder, while tune dragged ou and those last sticks were burning slowly away. They ate their last b.ts of biead then, and because Charley said she co lid not eat, there was a very liitle more for Em ny and Dean a.id Joe. But Joe, though he looked wistfully a 1 the frozen morsels, was struck with a sudden recollec tion. “You didn t tat any breakfast, Charley, nor any last night because your bead ached. Ain’t you hun gry 1 “Never mind,” said Charley, cheerily. “I’ll eat euougii when they come home ” The bread disapeared to the last crumb then. “I’m awful hungry yet,” said Joe. “So’rn i,” echoed Dean, with a pitifl pucker.” “and I’m awful cold. ’ Charley hugged Emmy tighter aud looked around. There were the chairs—stout oaken ones. “Can’t you break up a chair Joe?’’ she asked. But he aoold’t, though he tried mmfully—poor little Joe— with tears standing on his cheeks, “Never mind.” said Charley and then the litile group huddled together of tie dying fire- How cold it was ! and low the wind rocked the old house and blew i's freezing breath in ihrough every chink ! “I’m sleepy,” murmured Emma, drowsily. Charley looked at her in sudden terror. She had been sob' bing wiib cold and hunger, and how her baby face looked piuclied and her hands blue with cold, but the golden head drooped heavily against Charley’s arm— and Emmy never went to sleep at this time of the day. A dull red coal winked among the ashes. Charley saw it and straightened Emmy with a litte shake. “ RVll have a funny fire," said she, with a catch in tier voice.— “Bring the—the box, Joey.” “Oh, Charley, no !” “Yes,” said Charley. “I can make plenty more Wake up Emmy." And in a minute Kimay was wide awake enough to see a liny bright blaze upon the hearth. They burned the box first and the protiv carvings one by one. All too soon they were gone, and there only remaiued a few ashes. “I’m just as cold.' whimpered Dean. “I’m sleepy, too, Charley.” “Well, you shall go to sleep,” said Charley, “and when you wake up I know they'll be here But we'd have some nice fun first. Who wants a doughnut?" “Oh, Cliarley Gince, you haven’t gone !" “Yes I have r Murned Charley wi ll a triumphant li'tle laugh.’’ I saved these out of miue. She stood Emmy on the hearth aud hobbled as briskly us she couhl across the floor, placing two chairs, oue at each end of the room.— Now yon ruu a race around those until I say it’s enough, and I'll give you one apiece. Run as fast as you can.” A' first the children demurred, they were so cramped and tired aod drowsy; but the sight of three brown delicious looking cakes, which Charley produced from her pocket nerved them to action. Around ani around the chairs they ran, Joe ahead, and Emmy in the rear, bieathing out little clouds of steam. And Charley laughed and clapped her hands and cheer ed them on until at last .hey stop ped lion sheer fatigue, puffing like three smai. locomotives, end with •.heir pulses beating in at a lively ra ! e. Charley hobbled over to the bed. “Get in, all of you,’’ she -aid; “then I’ll give you your cakes. I know thoy’il be here when you wake up. She tucked them warmly in bed aad then she went back to her chair. She put the ends of her cru'ches upon to or three live coals and blew them into a tiny blaze Fret/y soon, when she had warmed herself a little, she would criep up beside Emmy aud listen Zo the deep regular breathing from /lie bed. “They are going to sleep she murmuted. I'va done the best I could —the best I could.” The words echoed from the wails of the \va Is of the cold litte room and rang themselves ovei and over in ner brain. How warm the place war growing and how j dark ! She thought she would | crawl over to the bed and get in witli Emmy and Dean and Joe. //ut she did notstT. Sho sat there still, it lit’le white figure, with u pair of half-burned crutches at her feet, when less than an hour later a man, with frosty beard and hair, forced himself through the bank of sno" at the door. It was Mr (Trace alone for the storm had rtndercd the roads impassible, and he had tramped the whole distance from Dunbar Coiuer on scow-shoes It was a long, wearying tiump, no doubt, and he had been about it two days. Rut when opened the door of his home Le forgot it all In less than a minute he had made kindling wood of oue of the chairs and in another one or two a brisk fire was burning on the hearth, and M . Grace, in ter rible fear, was rubbing Charley,s hands and forcing some brandy, from the little flask he carried, down her throat She opened her byes presently and looked up into the kind face above ber in a bewildered way. “Emmy—Dean—Joe—are— ’’ “All right—al 1 right 1” yelled Mr. Grace, nearly beside himstll wi h delight; aud then he went down upon his knees before Char ley and cried : “We are all right my dear,” Aud so indeed they were. 1 haven t the space to tell you all /hat happened—wlmt Mrs. Grtce said and did when sue came, a few days later; with the welcome rews that grandmother was better, and heard wliat Mr. Grace had already beard from Joe and Emmy and Dean ; how the story was told ihroughou' the settlement over and over, and how Charley was prased on ull sides ; nor how the JOHN T. WIIXON, .In,, l'tililmher people of Grand Fork, the lit tit village live miles below got up a fair for Charley’s benefit, which give her enough to take her to Dr. Lester that very next spring, and /hough he could not entirely cure, her the weak little limbs grtw ho much Stronger and better that sho was able to go without crutches, by liiut ing a very little. When Dr Lester, too, enue to know who Charley was—for the story of that winter's day luid al ready ft uelied Itis ears—lie refnaed lo take his fee, but instead, added to the little roll of bills, and put whole in a bank—for C mrley. “She will want to go to school in a little while.’ said he ; “/ thisk she must, study art.” “Why, wlmt makes every one so good to me asked Clmrlev, with happy tears; “I didn’t do any thing." “Didn’t you '"asked Mrs. //race, in return, kissing tLa glad little face—“didn’t you ?" TH E TRUE FIUEND. A certain merchant hud three sous. When I lie youngest came of age he called them together aud said to them in a voice husky with emotion : “Now, boys, yon all go out in to the world and acquire a knowl edge of hu in a n nature. At the end «f the year you will return, aud the one who lias acquired the best friend will recieve this mag nificent diamond ring." The young men having taken the ring to a jeweler and satisfied themselves that it was uot a Cali fornia diamond, accepted the sit uation and stai ted out. At the end of the year they returned, looking somewhat the worse for wear. The old min immediately issued his call for a mass meeting, and and they gathered around him. //« called for the reports from the various committees The tiist one hfeiej up his voice and said;— “I had an uft’air of honor. I got iuto a quarrel anil a challenge passed. We were to fight at ten steps. My friend came forward arid took my place. He was bad ly wounded Ini/ I believe he saved my life. I claim the ring for hav ing acquired the most self-sacri ficing friend.” No 2 then took the It >or and addressed the chair ; “I was on board of a -ship. We had a collision. I found myself iu the water. My frior.d was near me cm a hen coop When lie saw me he swam off and let me have the hen-coop We were boh picked up afterwards, but he un doubtedly saved my life. 1 think my friend was the boss.” “iVhat sort of a friend have you got to show up on?" asked the father of a third sou. “I was in a tight place,” he re sponded . “I Imd bceu fooling with a tiger, and lost all my mon ey. My frien I came forward and advanced me SSOO, and refused to take my note for the amount.” “To you belongs the ring,” said the merchant. “Your older broth er's friend wav simply a bet’ei shot I u the case of your other bin;her, his friend was simply a butter swimmer. They took risks, I ad mi, ; I admit; out your friend has sustained an actual, bona fide loss, fur he will never get his mon back. You guinea the best friend for he has made actual sacrifices. Here is the priceless gem of the Orien:.” The flawed pots lasts longtst. Better be envied tuau pittied. So many men so many minds. One foot is better than 'wo stilts.

When there is no wind every mail is a pilot. lie who begins and does not fiuith loses his labor. One foil i lways finds a great er fool to admire him. One knows not for whom he gatiiers.
