A pilgrim once (no runs an ancient tale)' Old, worn, and spent, crept down a shadowed vale : On either hand rose mountains hleuk and high; Chill was the gusty air, and dark the sky: The path was l ugged, and his feet were bare: His faded cheek was seamed by pain ntid care; His heavy eyes upon the ground were cast. And every stept seemed teenier than the last. The va’Jey ended where a naked rock Rose sheer from earth to heaven, as if to mock The pilgrim who had crept that toil some way, but while hie dim and wciuy eyes ea • say, To find nn outlet in the mountain side A ponderous sculptured brazen door he spied And tottering toward it with fast failing breath. Above the portal reud, "the gate OF HEATH." He could not stay his feet, that led thereto: It yielded to his touch, and passing through, He came i to a world all bright and fair: Blue were the heavens, and balmy the air; Aid low! the blood of youth was in his veins, And he was clad iu robes that held no stains Of his long pilgrimage. Amazed, 1, turned Bel,old ! a golden door behind him burned In that fail sunlight and his wonder ing rj es. Now lustivfiil audclear as those new skies. Free f r <>m the mists of age, care and strife.

Winifred was a aainty bit of womankind—a sunbeam—who laughed as much as a linnet sings; iuoreo7er there were dimples lurking in her rose tinted cheeks- She was well worth loving, al though not an angel, for if she had been she ceriainly would not have been a woman, yet she cer tainly was a thief. A thief! Stealing hearts by the wholesale But she who so loved <o coquette with hearts was at lust taken cap tive ; for love conquered the mer l ies*, and most mischeyioas maiden who ever laughe J at bis wiles, and love came to Winifred, now siniN pie und delicious. No two love niakiugs happen in just in the same way, as no two leaves are alike on the same tree. One day it happened that two gray eyes looked into hers, the merest accident of course. t'Wiunifred ?” brkl die owner of them suddenly. It was the first time that he had called her by nev first name, and tliere was something in the look of those gray eyes whiih sent the warm Mood to her cheeks and caused a tumult of emotion— it seemed to her like the finding of a bunch ot violets in midwin- ter. • “He loves me,” she thought, with a thrill of delight quite un like former experience. •Winifred,” he said tenderly “you ate very dear to me. ’ “I have loved you devotedly al 1 these years,” and he waited for a reply. “And—l—love —you. —Tom — but— “Oh ! let there he no bnte. You will love me 1 Winnie darling, let who will oppose, will you not T” “Y«s, Tom—till I die,” she said, her face oil aglow with eagerness. Then she paused abruptly. Now Tom was only a clerk, with nothiug but his salary to depend upon rich with nothing hut hones ty and good humor while her lath er w’as wealthy. “I feai my father will not favor our love,” she continued witu some dmbarrassmenl ; but I ought to choose for myself—it is my right. The gray eyes had softened for the first time in ''is life Tom had told her and had found the telling pleasant. He iold her too that he bad not much to offer. Would she be content with an humble hone shared with a loyal heart — with love instead of luxury ? “Yes, she wou.d be -‘quite con OUR OWN 6ECTION-WE LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENC-EVILLE, GA.

For a time these two sai with clasped hands in a dreamy silence Winwieis heait was full to the brim—tLe tell tale color on her checks—the confnsion of her eyes were u'.ierances more potent than words. Then tuere ensued a quiet, ra tional talk about their prospers and the best way io “manage father.” Thomas Lane was a successful mercanl—blessed with n full anil pleuty—yet he had a vexztioD. It was one trouble of his life how to snub aud circumv nt a brother merchant not meanly and mali ciously, but good humoredlly. Josiah Wrighth, with a deg iu thomanger disposition had always be n jealous of his old friei.d and neighbor’s exemplary prosperity, and he had kept up a series of ve ty annoyances agaist Thomas Lsue. That day Mr. Lane had heard some disparaging remark made by “old Joshua,” as be was won< to oall him. and te was brooding over It's chair in his private office when Tom his confidential clerk and rigqt hand man unexpectedly eu* tered. “Glad you come, Tom,” he ex claimed, “for I’m just a hit lonely- Been up to tho house, but could stao ; daughters gone for the sea son to nunt Mercy ’s ; mean ;o take a run down there myself next week aud, Tom, now that I think of it, you nnt run up to Sarat ga—m my expen-ej ive noticed that you’ve betn mopish of late, and it will drive awaj the blues to be among gay people. I don’t like to >-ee out of sorts.” “You are very kind, sir,” Tom rep'ied. "Poob, pooh ! Nothing of the son. It’s ample justice. Come come don’t look so dismal. Is anything going wrong! .Just as likoly as not some pretty damsel has captured your heart.” Ana the bindly natured mereh ant rubbed his hands togeihei gleefully, and glanced inqiiiiingn ly at his favorife clerk, who stood looking consciaus and sheepish, twisting Lib fingers nervously. “Well, sir, ’ he replied, "1 believe that is just the tronb'e ” A prolonged whistle and a mer ry twinkle io his eyes expressed the merchants astonishment for after all it was but a random guess. “And so yon want to marry ind settle down in life and have your salary taised boy ?” “Yes, sir; toat’s about i! ” “A little bird told me, you sly dog. that you are lookiug after Mur jorie Wright. She’s a pretty girl and worth a plum or two. You coulun’t do better, Tom.” ' “But, sir, my dear girl’s father is opposed to me. Why, I’m oniy a poor clerk and, she is an heir> ess.” “Opposed! Is he? I should like to know what objection he has to you ? You love the girl “IPith all my heart sir.” “Abo she loves you r ‘ “Devotedly.” “Then, with love in the home and old Josiah's money to run it, it might do. Yes, yes; it would be admirable.” And ilie old gentleman laughed heartily at the idea, and then he inquired wha; he meant to do about it. “1 must wait until her father consents, I suppose,’ replied Tom ruefully. “But what do you ad vise me to do sir?” “E«? Aliy, I know what I’d do if I were young like you and loved a pretty girl I’d try to win her in spite of all the fathers iu the* world. If she is willing to take me, 7’d brave the old mau’a dis pleasure and ruu off and get mai h ried. ” “Bu*. my dear Mr. Lane, I tear he wou/d never forgive his daugh ter, and 'hat would break her Heart.” “Pooh, pooh ! Girls hearts are not so easily broken as you imag ine. What fun it will be to have old Josiah fret and fame and then come iouad right—as he will, iny boy, uevor fear. No, do, Tom you go ahead, and I’ll furnish all die money you need, and if the old man is cross with pretty Marjorie _ THE I'll bet that neither of you starve, if it’s only to spite old cm .nild geon. “Oh, thank you sir With your permission, then, I will try 'o win her ’’ “All light, my boy. 1 don’t for get that 1 was once young; and mind when the knot is tied fast you can come to my Louse at d have it all ‘o yourselves until old Josiah sends .'or you.” “We’l, Mr. Lene, I’ll accept yonr kind oft’er and go to Saratoga for a few daysaidTom as he smiling ly (est the office. “Too tame by half—hut the yotiDg men now a days have very little spiri',’’ muttered the mer chant, as he started for hissolioary home. Three days later, Mr. Lane had occasion to change his opinion of Tom's tameness, for he received an unexpected letter. Foalunately he was alpue— there was no one to witness the mingled feelings of astonishment and ebagaiu he experienced while reading it. “Saratoga. “D"ar sir—Yuli were misinform ed iu legat'd to Miss Marjorie Wiight, for I have never thougnt of her us a wife.

Aunt Mercy aeompa nied us here, and now we are anx iously waiting tc heur from you- Your grateful son, Tom Allen. “Sold ! and no mistake,” exclaim ed Mr. Lane, half angiily. "But what’3 the use? Tom is a good fellow—sharp too —sharp as a nea die good business talent, ha! ha! and better, yes incomparably bet ter than the rest of the danglers ; and Winnie—little puss—she loves him," and then there came to hi' heart fur oti memories of the girl’s dead mother; aud brushing away a tear, worth more than any dia mond he possessed, he snatched a pee and Ims ily penned the follow ing : “My grateful son is a scamp ! But I forgive you, Tom, notwith standing, for if Winnie finds some ihing iu you to lave, ;ou can’t be so very wicked. But, ray boy, the tables are turned you know, and it won’t do to let old Josiah crow over us 'l’ll run up to Saratoga and we’ll all come Home together, ami he will be none the wiser.

Young Blabbitt has been mak ing calls at statted intervals for some time.

He was very pleasantly received in a line max aion overlooking the Gulf nod commanding a splendid view- This mansion, it will be recollected, was the gift of a lady admiter of Mr. Davis on account of his services and sacrifices in the cause of the South. Our t.'hioago friend did not exactly interview the ex-Presi dent, hut evidently asked him a good many question upon a public matters, to which replies were pleasantly and cheerfully gi»on. One of the most important things said by Mr. Davit was, perhaps, in relatiou to his present position in regard to the “lost cause.” He said he had been misunderstood it. this respect. When he remarked in a public speech that the cause was rot lost, but would be recov ered. ho did not by any means ini *ply that there would be another war; that was impossible. The Soiuh was too impoverished tu resort 10 anything of the kind; besides it bad no disposition or intention to do so. He meant siniuly that the “lost causa” of the rebelliou would revive again in tue fuller acknowledgement of State sovereignly; that the Union was i compact between the inde pendent and sovereign States. This, he thought, would be th® final outcome of the civil war, it having recalled the attention of the people to the original princi ples upon which the government is based. Mr. Davis remarked (hat, he wat poor, and as an evi dence of it Mrs, Davis, when she came to invite them to dinner, ex custd herself for not appearing earlier by saying that she had to do her own work. Our Chicagoan evidently felt somewhat re ieved in his mind by the interview with the ex-I'resipent, who concluded the courtesies of the day by driv ing him over to the sta'ion. A CRUSHED BORE.
