Bullion’s Bride
•
Let me see - where was it that
I first met her ? Oh, yes, it was
under the superb arches of High
bridge, boating by moonlight, A
globe of rediidi pearl pseefuled on/
of the Fast—the shadows of the
g*sat ,b#dge renting on ,/he mirror
r*e siirfac4-rtfdlie-HitdS on river,
the sound of a flute played softly
afar oft, and all of a sudden the
keel of my boat came in contact
with somebody else’s oars.
"Hallo! cried out a clear incisive
young voice. “W here are you go
ing to? Why dout you l H ok.
which wry you are llfPrfll/f'r
“Charley Dresuen;’” cried out I
little heeding the torrerts'obloquy
he was beginning to heap upon
me.
“Old Mottimore,” he responded
joyously. .“Why, who on earth
would lmv<| thought of iiiidingyou
dreaming on Hudson river. Here!
come into my boat; hitch on your
old craft behind art! let me intro
duce you to Miss Sophy Adriauce.”
I looked as sharply at Miss
Sophy as the moonlight and my
own mod jsty would let me, for I
ktiew she was the especial admira
tion of nay treind Charley Dresden-
She was pretty, slight, round
and rosy, with china-blue eyes, a
dimple in eithou cheek, and golden
brown hair worn in long looose
curls. There was something
flower-like and delicate in her
prettiness—something uncon
sciously ioq loring in her way of
lilting her eyes up to your face.
We rowed home together or, at
least, as far on our way home us
the 7/ndson river would take us.
Sophy sang little boat ballads.
Charley roared out tenor barcaroles
1 even essayed a German student
song which I uaa learned in Heid
elberg no cue knows how long
"fid. and. wo partu.l a ''- m
friends.
A week afterwards Dresden and
myself met face to face on Wall
street.
“Hallo, Motti uore ?” said Char
ley his honest visage lighting up.
“What do you think of her ?”
“I thirk she is a peatl a jewel
—a process among women !*’ I
answered with perfect siecerity.
“Congratulate me then !” cried
Charley, beaming all over, “ for 1
am engaged to her ! Only last
night. Look here,” opening a
mysterious silver case which he
took from his inner ves. pocket.
“ IFhat d? yon think of /ha/ for an
engagement ring f
“A fine diamond,” said I, put
ting my head critically on one side,
“and fancifully set.”
“We’re to oe married in October
said Charley, lowering his voice
to the mos/ confidential tone?.
“It might have been sooner if I
hadn’t undertaken /net business
in Eueope for our firm. But I
shall be ( sure, to be back by tbe
first of October, -and the money
I shall will be acceptable
toward fitting up aud furnishing
our new home. Because Motti
more, I am not rich.
I spent an evening with lier
afterward at the genteel boarding
hou-e where she and her mother
—a nice, bright-eyed little woman,
the full blown rose to correspond
with Sophy’s budding lovliness—
dwelt in the coziest of apartments
furnished in dark blue reps, with
turn-up bedstead, ingeniously
disguised as s high backed sofa
and canaries and geraniums in
tbe windows
•‘lt is so kind of you to come,”
said Sophy with a gentle pressure
of the baud when I went away.
*</ am so glad to welcome Chorleys
frionds,”
Well Charley Dresden went
away, and as he didu t particularly
leave Sophy Adriance in my charge
I didn’t feel called upon to present
myself at the genteel boarding
house, I supposed naturally
enough, that all was going right,
uutil one day I receivved a note
from my old fiiend, Bullion the
banker, a man of sixty, who wears
a wig and spectacles, and counts
1 bis income upon the double figures.
Bui.ion wrote from Saratoga
I where he had gone because he
didn’t know what else to do with
I himself in the dull season, He
asded me to be hie groomsman.
OUR OWN SECTION WK l.Allorf FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. JUNE 2 1885.
Bullion was going to be married!
“Of course you’ll think it a fooi
ish thing for me to do wrote
Bullion ; “but even at (JO a^* man
has not entirely outlived the age
of sentiment ; and when you ouce
see Sophy AdnujcC you 'will for -
give any seeming incoiuristoncy oiv
my part.”
I wer.l straight to fpe genteel
1 "fording house. It, wifs possible
that 1 might be mislead'by a simi
larity ol name, a't hough even that
was unlikely*,
“Ts' Miss Ad ranee as home ’ I
asked the slatternly servant, tori
who answered the bell
“No sir. Miss Sophy’s spend
inga tew weeks with some friends
at Saratogo,’ she answered
promptly.
That was enough I went home
and inclosed Bullion's letter in
another envelope directing it to
.poor Churlie Dresden's address,
Route Rcstaute, Vienna, adding
a few lines of my own wherein 1
endeavored to mingle consolation
and phisopby as aptly as possible.
And then I wrote, to old Bullion
curtly declininiug to “stand up
him,”.
7t was a few weeks subsequent
ly that the waiter showed an ele
gantly dressed young lady into my
room at the hotel. I rose ir» some
surprise. Aside from old Miriam
Platt and my laundress, my lady
visitors were few. But the ins
tant she threw up ner thick tissue
veil i recognized the soft blue eyes
and Damask rose cheeks of Sophy
Adrian.
•‘Oh, Mr. Motti more !” she cri
piteously, “I know you won’t
mind my coming to your parlor,
because you seem exactly like a
father to me.” I winced a little
at this. “But 1 have received such
a lettei from Charley, and as—as
you’ve known hjm for a long time,
I thought perhaps you could ex
pium it to me. Db, 1 have been
so wretched. And indeed, iudeed,
indeed, I didn’t daserve it!”
She gave me a tear blotted 'et
ter and then sat down to cry quiets
ly in the corner of the sofa until
such time as I should have fil'ish
ed its perusal.
“What does he mean Mr. Mot
timore asked Sophy plaintively
‘‘when be accuses me of deceiving
him, of selling my self to the
highest bidder ? Oh, it is so
dreadful!”
I folded the the letter and look
ed severely at her.
“Miss Adriance,” said I gravely,
it strikes me you are trying to
play a double part here, i The as
fianced bride of Benjamin Bull ion
ought hardly to hope to retain the
allegiance of poor Charley Ores
den into the bargain
“I don't understand you,” said
Soph, looking wistfully at me.
Are you not to become the wife
of Mr. Bullion the the banker ? I
asked, sternly.
“Oh, dear, no," said Sophy.
“That’s mamma! ’
“Eh ?” gasped I.
“It’s mamma,’ answered Sophy.
“She’s to be married next week !
D’dn’t yon know it 1”
1 started straight before me.
Well, I had got my sets into a piet
ty pickle by mcdling officiously in
a flairs iliat didn't concern me.
‘ Look here, Miss Adriance,” said
1; “I will tell yoi all a l ‘Out it.’’
So I did- I described old Bul
lion’s letter, my own false deduc
tions there from, and the rash deed
I had committed in sending /he
banker’s correspondence toCharley
Dresden.
“And now,’ said I, ‘do you won
der that he is indignant ?”
Sophy’s face grew radiant. •;
“But there’s no harm done,”
said -hfe. “No real harm, 1 mean.
Because I’ve written him a long
le ter all about mamma and Mr.
Bullion, which he must have re
seived almost the next mail after
he sent off this cruel, sheet of re
proaches.”
Sophy was a true prophet.
There was no ‘real harm’ done.
The next mail brought a letter full
of entreaties to be pardoned, and
a brief, brusque note to me.
Lsiood up with old Ben Bullion,
and that full blown rose, Sophy’s
mamma, after all; and when Chars
ley Dresden came borne I cut the
big wedding cake ai bis marriage
feast.
A JUMP INTO ETERNITY.

BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
On 1 ttbt Saiurday, a negro man
about six miles noith of Madison
while fishing in Baxter pond, was
uorried upon seeing pendant from
a bush which stood in the wa*er
and what ne supposed to be /he
leg of a man protruding fre m it.
He left the place in fright, reports
ed whet he had seen to seme white
men who went with Dim to the
place and his statemei t was veri
fied. As a pedlar fron /ndianap

been reported lost in this vicinity
and as the family of Nelson Mc-

A runner was sent to town, and

The murder was committed
about the 22 of January last., and
and as soon as his presence was

a rearch was instituded resulting
in tracing him to the house of

A FIENDISH FATHER.
Philadelphia. May 21. A.
Ornofri, of 1812 Montgomery ave
nue, a c ntortioniet and cirrus per
former, was lodged in a cell yes,
terday afternoon. Dr. Johnson
was sent for t>y Ornofri. The
messenger told him that a little
girl war rery ill. The physician
found the child dead, and there
were marks of Hows on bar body, j
Dome of the neighbors saw Orno
fri strike the girl with a shovel on
the day of her death. Her father,
admitted it.' “Waii a moment,”
he said, “and I will show' you.’ I
Descending to the cellar, he reao- I
peared with an old shovel, the!
handel of which was broken oft" j
Jhe blade was ragged and rusty. I
Holding up the two pieces, he
said: “I corrected her with this I
yesterday, because she would not
obey me.’ 1
“ understand that you used otb j
er implement to correct the child,’
said Clerk Donald,
,‘Ob, yes, I will shew you,’’ re
plied Ornofri. and, diving into the
cellar, again he eappeaied with a
heavy strap about three fee/ long
and an inch and a half broad, and
a long rope, the ends of which
were oiled with hard knots. Hold
ing up these two instruments of
tortue, he said coolly; “I have
sometimes used these for correct-1
ing the children. A father has a
right to correct his children ”
Then he was taken into custody
The examination of the child’s
body shows that the tittle fram s
was seamed and scarred with welts
and cuts from the top of her h»a<s
almost to the soles of her feet.'
Many of the wounds looked as
though they had be*>n inflicted by
lashes from the knotted rope or
the strap, but several ugly cuts

el. The body was almost blood,
less, and the physicians concluded
that the many wounds had drains
ed the veins cf more than half of
the life fluid. Immediate death
was due to hemorages of the brain
and this is supposed to have beeu
caused by a blow on the head.
The stepfather said he beut htr
for the purpose of breaking her of
bad habits.
The neighbors tell many stories
of cruelty practiced by the father
on his father. On Sunday morn
ing he was seen to bind the dead
girl’s hands and feet together aod
compel her to keep in a kneeling

| AN “ANGEL OF THE LORD”
IN TROUBLE.
j Recently at a baptism pf the
‘unwashed in Utah, Mormon el-
I ders guaranteed /bat the ‘Angel
| of the Lovd ’ would be present and
I lend bis influence to make the
j a flair a glowing success f?reat
I crowds assembled at the river, and
while the baptizing was in prog
ress, watched with interests high
| bluff across the river, upon whjcb,
[according to a programn:e, the
Angol of the Lord’ was to alight.
Public expectation was not
doomed to disippointment. The
‘Angel of the Lord’ made his ap
pearance. He was dressed in
white, and moved about, waving a
prodigious- pair of wings with
grace and precision. A great awe
fell Upon the multitude. —lt, was
the first appearanae of an ‘Angel
of the Lord’in Utau, and the b’en
tiles were overwhelmed with the
solemnity of the occasion. But
suddenly, while all eyes were bent
j upon bun, the ‘Angel of tne Lord’
j approached the dizzy edge, and
the next instant fell, if not from
[ grace, from the bluff, and disap -
j peared from sight in the flowing
waters. In an instant, all hands
went to the rescue, for it had sud
denly occured to them that an
‘dngel of the Lord’ could no more
fly with wet feathers than a jay
bird, and very probably had net
learned to swim. He was fished
out nearly dead, and proved to be
a locally prominent Aformom-
Some of the ‘bad boys’bad purhed
him from the bluff.
GRANT’S MEMORY, AND DRY
HUMOR.
NL'his was 'in 1869. I went to
Washington, and Senator Nye
asked me if I would like to meet
the President. *1 said yes, apd
went to the White House. The
Senator introduced ns, and I look
ed at me. I didn’t have any/hiug
to say, and it was the most awk
ward moment of my life. Finally
I stammered: “Mr, President, I
am awfully embarassed—are you’”
I didn't stop to her his answer,
and I don’t know how I got out of
the White House, but I met the
President, anyhow. In 1879 I
was in Chicago General Uraut
had just arrived, and was to re
view the Grand .4rmy of Tenues
see—the first that he commanded,
you know. A reviewing stand
had been erected in front of /be
hotel. The crowd was awful. It
was the largest I ever saw I
wanted to see tnat review, and
with the old instiuct of the report
er to shove himself where be bad
no business to be, I edged through
be crowd ami got on the platform'
and there I was all alone facing
that tremendous crowd. Present
ly a man came out behind me. It
was Carter Harrison, of Chicago.
I knew him and he knew me. He
looked at me and I looked at him.
Right behing him was General
f/rant?” -‘No,” 1 sail. “All right
I’ll introduce you,” he said. I was
embarrassed again when Mr. Har
rison introduced us. “How do
you do X' said General Grant.
“I am not embarrassed - are you?’.
A VALUABLE MANUSCRIPT.
The university at Upsala has
within its walls many interesting
relics; among them the library is,
of course, most fascinating to men
of letters. ‘,Here one may liud
two hundred thousand volumes,
aud seuen thousand manuscripts.
But the ‘golden treasure’ is the
famous ‘Codex Argenteus’—the
four Gospels translated by Bishop
Ulphilas, and written on ahm -
dred and eighty-two leaves of
parchment in letters of silver on a
ground of faded purple. It is
kept in a glass ease, and under look
and key.”
“This wonderful manuscript is
said to date back to the second
half of the fourth century: and to
it, almost alone.” says our tourist
informant, ‘we are indebted for
our knowledge of the early Gothic
the parent of all the Germanic
tongues.”
