HOW HE CAME TO PAY. The editor sat with t Is head tn hi* hand* And hi* elbows at re*t on hi* knee*: He was tired of the ever increasing denmnds On his time and he panted for ease. The clamor for copy was scorned with a sneer. And he sighed in the lowest tones: “Won't somebody come .with a dol lar to cheer The heart of Emanuel Jones ?” Just theu on the stair-way footstep was heard And a rap-tap loud 1 1 the door. And the flickering hope that had long been eierred, lllazed up like a beacon once more ; And there entered a man with a cynieal smile That was fringed with a stuhleofred. Who remarks, as he tilted a sorry old tile To the back of an average head : “I have come here to pay"—Here the editor cried : “You’re as wolcome ns flowors in spring ! Sit down in this easy arm chair by try side And excuse me awhile till I bring A lemonade dashed with old wine A dozen cigars of the best. * * Ah ! X assure you this is fine ; Help yourself most desirable guest. The visit or drank with a relish, and smoked Till his faeewore a sattisfled glow. And the editor beaming with mer riment joked. I n a joyous spontaneous flow; And then when tlie stock of refresh ments was gone, His guest took occasion to say, In accents distorted.by a yarn, ‘My errand up here is to pay—” But the generous scribe, with a wave of Itie hand. Put a stop to the speech of his a jest And brought in a melon, the finest the laud. Ever bore on its generous breast; And the visitor wearing a singular grin. Seized the heaviest half of Die fruit, And the juice, as it ran in a stream from his chin. Washed tne mud of the pike from his hoot. Then mopping hi* face on a favorite sheet Which the scribe had laid care fully by, The visitor 1 zily rose to his feet with the dreariest kind of u sigh, And he said a* the editor sought his address In his hooks to discover his due : “I came here to pay—my respects to to the press and borrow a dollar of you !" HTTIIOUT HER COX SENT. It was a chilly Novemoer night when the train got to Hampden. Hampden was ono of those new, unfinished places which require the brightest of eunlignt, the greenest frames of quivering leaves to make them at all presentable. Aud in ihe gray, uncompromising medium of the November dusk //ampden looked dreary enough wi/fi the dark chimney of the new silk mill rising out of the hemlock woods, the staring Queen Anne depot, the church which bore a s long family reseuftlsnce to a cbilds wooden toy, and the stone quarry to the left, which reminded the thoughtful looker-on of a gi gantic fortification iu an unfinish ed state. “Humph !” said Mrs. Nedley, as she looked a round her. “A queer place,'’ H r ntice Phebe was there to meet h r with a box wagon and a white nosed, o'd horse. “Folks can’t always choose where they’re to live,’’ said Phebe who was always in a state of an agonism to Mrs. Nedley, “and Hampden is good enough for me ’ “How is Phillip ?” asked Mrs. Nedley. “Pbilljp is well,” said Phebe, as she helped the depot boy to hoist Aunt Nedieys trunk iuto the wagon- Phillip Burrow was Mre. Nedley’t favorite nephew. S e had paid hi- bills at school, superintended his fortunes and finally purchased a share for him in the new silk mills. “He’s ah I've got,” said Mrs Nedley, ‘‘except Phebe, and Pheb e and I never did hitch horses to gether. And I want him to suc ceed in the world ”. But wiihin a few days a new claimant had arisen to Aunt Neds ley’s, protec ion and tender consuls era/ion. “To l>e sure, she s no relation to me. ’ said Mrs. Nedley. “Bui her mother was my dearest friend, and 1 ihink I will adopt her ‘for my sake.’ ” And it was scarcely an nour from the lime in which she learn ed taut Sylvia Gray was au orphan that she wrote a kind letter to the girl asking her to come to the Last for a visit, “If you like it my dear, there need be no occasion for your going back,” she wrote. “W« are both alor e. Lee us >e companions for one another.” She had waited and waited no OUR OWN SECTION—WR LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. APRIL 29 1885. reply arrived ; and while she wait ed a plan had developed i/self in her mind. “If ahe ia her mother’s daughter she can’t help being pretty," aaid Mrs, A’edlev, “Phil ia a hand some lad. She shall marry Phil I’’ And this explains Mrs. Nedley’s presence at Hampden. “/ suppose yon are still keeping house for Phillip ?’’ said ahe to Phebe, as they droye along in the chill twilight. “No," aaid Phebe, skillfully guiding tbe old horse down a steep place in the read. “He ooajds, eh aaid Mrs. Nedley. “No, he don't board," answered Phebe “His wife keeps house for him. “What V' said Mrs A’edley. “/7e is married 1 ’ announced Phebe very much in the tone in which she might have BBid : “/t's a cold evening," or the “train ia late.” “Phillip married ! ’ repeated the ohl lady—married I Stop Phepe; dou’t drive a step further ! Turn around at once. Take me hack to the station- I’ll return to Con cord.” “Ain’t you going to see Phillip?’’ asked Phebe. “Not if he’s married, ’ answered Mrs. Nedley, in a choked voice. . “He's gjf a proper nice wife,’’ pleaded Pbtbe. “You’ll like her." “No, I shan't answered Mrs. Ned'ey. “Phillip—in tried PhcLe, if von don't turn around I'ii get out and walk.” Mrs Nedley's rid was like ada mant, and Phebe Barrow was forced to suceomb to It. And so I happened that Pbebe and the white nosed pony arrived solitary aud alone at the little cot tage of the mi/1 superintendent an half hour later. Phil came out into the porch, carrying a lamp in his hand. Mrs. Phil r».n after him with a pink apron tied unound her trim waist and her brown fringe of hair blowing back from hei fore' head. “Where’s my aunt ? said Phil, as Phebe jumped out. “Didn’t she come/” “She came,’’ said Phebe curtly ; “but s'ae’s gone back again.” “Gone back again V “Yes. She didn’t like it because you’ve married ; so she’s gone back by the B,OG train.” “Oh, Phil!” cried Mrs. Barrow who was a round, cherry cheeked little woman, wi h soft hazel eyes and a mouth like a rdbebud. i'Wbat shall wt> do ? Why didn't you cousult her before you married me 1' Phil Barrow broke iuto a great laugh. “My deal - ,” said he, “it wasn’t hbr cjnsent I wanted ; it was yours” Ob ! But Phil but sue has done so much for you.” “She’s a good soul, but she’s ec centric,” said ihe mill supeiinten dent. “Go in, Pbebe, ahd get your tea.” ‘Vm sure I can’t eat a mouth ful,” said Mrs. Phil, despairingly. “And I mixed the biscuit inysef; and ibe fried chichen, and the White mountain cake—oh, Phil ! oh, Phil 1", ‘Don’t fret, dear, said Phil* “my Aunt Nedley has missed a very good supper ; that I can tell her.” “But I’ve bbgh‘ed your future said Mrs. Barrow, tragically Beiz mg ihe sugar tongs.” ‘We’ll go to Concord to-mor row and see the old ladv,” soothed Phi’, “She must suirender if she see’s you, wifey.” Phebe chuckled grimly. “Thai’s all very wall,” said she, ‘but yuu forget i hat on old lady and a young man dou’t look at a girl with the same eyes ” “Hold your tongue Phebe ’ said the mill superintendent. “What’s the use of always croaking ?” And then Mrs. Phil began to laugh, and Phebe, who aftbr her crabbed fashion was fond of her pretty sister-in-law, laughed also and, afier all /he dainty little sup per was eaten with a relish, even ihough Aunt Nedley’s face was turned steadfastly toward Cons cord. Hsr own fireside had never seemed so solitary and dreary «s it did upon that Norenber nigut. The maids, goasipping in the kitchen were called upon to rekin dle the dead fire. The tea smoky and half cold, was served, and Mrs Nedley was just resolving to go to bed when Betsey brought a letter. “Pojiman, mum ; he left it a week a ago,'' said ahe. It had taken down buck of the letter box." “Mil," said Mrs, Nedley, fitting on her spectacles and scrutinizing the seal and directions “from Silvia Gray I Now I shall hava s me one to love in Phillip’s place. But she had not read three linen before she flung the letter iodig nuD'ly on the sulking firer “Married ! ’ she exclaimed, “that child ! Is everybody crazy to get merited, 1 wonder ? And she hopes that i'll excuse her, but her husband thinks—follv and nonsense ! What is her husband to me? Betsey, my chamber can dle !" “Bless me ma’rn !” said Betsy What has happened?” Everything !" said Mrs. Nedley “Don’t let me be called before eight o’clock to-morrow morning. I almost wish 'hat I coull goto deep and sleep fotever.” And Mrs. Nedley, it. the si lence and soititude of her own room, fell to thinking to what charitable institution she could leave her money. Witu the Psalmists of old she could have cried, “Vanity of vani ties, all is vanity.” “I loved Phillip,” she said, “and I bad set my heart on Silvia—and such amatch it would have been!" She was sitting at her luncheon the next day, with tl e cuckatoo on one side of her and the poodle on the other ? when Betsey, opened the door “Please, man," said Betsy, “com- pany.” “Betsy," said M»-s. Nedley, se verely, “I told you I was not at home to anybody to-day.’’ “Please nia'in,” giggled Itetsy, “he would come in.” “Who. would come in ?” said Aunt Nedley. “It’s me, Aunt Nedley," s*id Phillip b arrow, “and my wife. Don’t be vexed.” Tne tail young mill superinten dent came ia, with his pretty wife hanging on his arm. “Won’t you kiss me, Aunt Ned ley ?" said Mrs. Phil, putting up her rosebud lips —“for oiy mother s sake t" “Kb ?’’ said Mrs. Nedley. “Lidu’t you get my letter ?" said Phillip’s wife. “Letter ? ’ Mrs. Nedley was more convinced tuan ever now that she was asleep und dreaming. “I wrote you all about it,” said Mrs. Phil. "Don’t you know ? 1 am Silvia Gray. I met Phillip when he came out to Denver to ook at the new mill machinery, and he would be married imme diately. He said he was sure you would forgive him. Will you for give him Aunt Nedley.” “Yes, my near ; I will said Mrs. Nedley, her face brightening np like the full moon peeping through mist wreaths; but why didn't they iell me you were Silvia Grayt” “Phillip wanted to surprise you,” sa d Silvia hanging her head. “Well, he has surprised me,” said Aunt Nedley. She went back to Hampdee with /he mill superintendent and his wile, and slept in thb pre/ty pink and white bedroom which Silvia hud prepared sos her with so much pains ; and she praised Silvia’s chicken salad and prune pies, and she even condescended to approve of Phebe’s halfscompleled siln counterpane; for life whs all coul« eur de rose for her now. An edhor who is evidently a man of family sagely r marks that a boy will yell like a Tartar if a drop of water gets on his Bhirt band when h s neck is being wash ed, but will crawl through a sew* er after a ball and think nothing of it.

The foliosing accuunt of sn ex traordinary surgical operation spa pears in the New York Tribune of recent date: In the last few years surgeons have grown more bold and surgery has consequen ly tnsde great advauces. particularly in dealing with tumors situated in the abdomen. Burgeons of au other age would have fair ted at. the suggeatiou of sinking a knife into the abdomen and removing a tumor, yet to day the operation is froquet tly performed and the death rate re not more than ten in one Hundred cases. Even portions of the bowels have been cut out and the severed ends united by stitches in removing tumors, and recovery has followed in a large xumber cases. But the most bril liant cases yet recorded, where the newer methods of surgery were prominently brought into use is an operation recently performed at he Cham here Street hospital. In this case precedent wee openly defied, and the attending surge oos, with a eourage and boldness equaled only by their skill and del icacy, saved a human life in all probability, and pe formed an op eration cf a kind tnat never before had been attended with success. William Moßlrov, a track driv er, age tweuty-foar, cf No. 34 Rut gers street, was accidentally shot in the liquor store, No. 29 Essey street, on November 2, 1874. with a thirty-two calibre pistol. He fell to the flocr, but remained con scious. A n ambulance look him to the Chambers Sreet hospital, where an examinati.n showed (hat ihe ball had entered the abdomen abou*. two inches to the left of und a little balow the naval. The external wound was slight, and the bull had stopped at some point within the abdominal cavity. The patient was put to bed suffering greatly from the shock, and care fully watched. Within a few hours signs of extravasation appeared His features were pinched, hi pnlsc feeble and tremulous. Ex cruciating pains radia'ed from the seat of injury over the whole abe dominal region, aud were ai tended with signs of collapse The mus cular effort of breathing was con fined to the thorax, and there was a look of great anxiety upon the face It was evident that the dreaded peritontits would soon be fully developed. A consultation was held; ii was determined that death would speedily ensue uns less relief was a Horded iu aome manner, and heroic treatment was decided upon. Within tweutv hours after beiug shot McElroy was transferred t) the operating table. Ether was administered and he soon became unconscious Elaborate precautions were taken to prevent the introduction of dis eases germs into the wound. A spray of vipor of carbolic acid was played constantly ia‘o the room, which, to inautain the tempera ture of the body, was kept at a uniform temperature of eigbty de grees. The knives forceps, need les and sponges that were to be used were kept in warm solutions. An incision was first made into the external wou d ard it was fonnd to extend into the external wound and it was found to extend into the abdominal cavi ry. Consider able hemorrhage began, but /be blood was absorbed by t pongee. The incision was then increased lo about eight inches through the abdominal wall the wound was opened wide, and the intestines were exposed. The flow of blood increased and it ran into the ab dominal cavity. After the humor rage was brought under cottro] the c*vity was sponged out* and the search for the ball began. A srual l j section of tbt intestine was drawn carefully through the open ing at a time, thoroughly inspect ed for lacerations, aod laid upon the breast between layers of cloths that bad previously •been wrung out of waim water. This process was continued nodi the eciire in testines were taken out of the body The bullet was fouud in the last section and removed it was fouul to have penetrated the in testine in seven places. As fast as eaoh wound was discovered tur ner searen was stopped until the lacerated portion wan sewed with JOHN T. WILSON. Jn , Publisher extremely fine elik thread. The knots made id drawing the woun ded surfaces together were left in position. After all the Wounds were clos ed the cloths Were carefully re moved from the intestines end they returned to their proper po sition within the abdominal walls The large incision was then closed and if a- well as the bullet wound was sewod up with silk The op eratiou lusted two noursumllhe patient wus kept under iho influ ence of etuei the wlole time. Measurers were at once taken to prevent peri.onits. Morphine was given in small dises by hypodem ic injections. A large coil of rub her tube was placed on the abdo* men, through which a stream of ice water wss cor a tan tly kept run ning. For two days no nourish ment was given through the rnoufh the patient's strength being kept up by enumata of beef juice This was done to allow the stomach and bowels io rest, and permit the wound made by tbe bullet to heal- As Boon as food could he given properly, McElroy gained strength and in a comparatively short time was able to sit up in his cot, and afterward to walk about the hos pital wards. He went out of she hospital for the first time on Christmas day, less 'ban two moots from tne time he was in- j uied, and about a week afterward he was discharged cured. The only drawback in tbe prog ress of the case to convalescence was ua abscess ihat formed in she wound made by she bill Ist, a few weeks after the operation. This, however, was finally subdued by soothing treatment, though the edges of tbe wound remained stub born and wonnd not close. Ihe difficulty was over conn by skin drafting, the skin being taken from soother part of the abdomen and plained over the open wound and healing soon followed The patient was advised when dis chaiged to abstain from heavy work, us the abdomina' wail may uot be as strong us before.
