“Well, Nettie.here I am ? What
is it you wart to ask me ?
“1 have heard a report that you
are paying attention to a young
,n Woodville is i t true.”
The girl spoke quietly but there
was a slumbering fire iu her great
black eys which told a story of re*
pressed passion
The youug man addressed
changed coior and winced under
qor steady lock, Lut he made a
pj-eteuce ot answering light y :
“8o it is the same old story you
have srut lor me to come aud hear
You are jealouse a little piece Net
uie.
“Harmon will you tell me the
i ruth f / had much rather heat
you speak out like a man, even if
it Li-eas my heart than to die by
degrees while doubting you—and
1 do doubt you.”
“Then; if you will be happier to
know, imttadof to itnagige. t 1 e
truth, here it is : lam going to
be married next week to the girl in
Woodville. She’s one of /he meek
sort and won’t keep ma in hot
water by her jealousy, as you do.”
Anger had evidently got the bet
ter oi prudence in Harmon Hart’s
mind, or ne might have continued
with the girl who had been sup*
planted :n his fickle fancy by the
newer and perhaps more attractive
charms of her rival.
Nettia’s cheeks blanched, and
she stood for an inslant as though
'urned into a stone. Then sin
pointed to the door.
“Go, false heart ! Never let me
see your face again ! But know
this: I will spoil your happiness a*
you have ruined minel ”
Without a word the young man
obeyed; but strive as hr would, be
could not keep his cheeks rout
blaechiug. He loooked the des*
pical cringing creature that he was
—for he who win’s a girls heart
to bi-eak i/ always has the cliarac
ieristics of a coward.
But once out of Nettie’s presence
the momentry feeling of uneasiness
vanished and he said half aloud;
“i’hats a good job over ; she
took it easier than I though/ she
would. All I have to do now is
to hurry up the wedding-day and
set out to the wes; witkkity. Her
money will by and stock a farm,
aed we’ll dive iu clover. ’ She’s a.
good lit tie thingandnota spit*fire
like Netne.”
Kitty Nash was considered
quite an heiress in the the country
neighborhood where she lived,
Upon the death of her father,
she had come with her mother tc
make hev home at Meadow Farm
with and old and childless uncle
, She hae six hundred pounds in
vested iu Government becuiiiits
and upon the death of her tnoihe
she would inherit as much more.
So mercenary feelings might have
helped to cause the change in Har
mon Hart’s matrimonial intentions
But Kitty rejoiced in bis love’
and was so bright aud engaging in
her ways, that auc-L day her chains
about her lover, and by this means
prepared him for a surer punish
ment in the coming days. Foi
Kitty was totally ignerant of the
claims of Net.ie upon Harmon,
and sweet tempered as she was,
tliaro existed a strong undercur
rent of firmnes oeneat.h her gay
lightshe irted manner.
Then, too, Kitcy was an unspar
ing critic oi her own actions, hav
ing a most tender conscien about
wrong doing of any kind.
Aut Harmon rushed on to his
faio. The weddind day was set,
the feast was being ready, the
minister was, the bride aud groom
had tagen tbeis positions before
him.
Suddenly the souud of horse’s
hoofs sounded übon the gravelled
carriage sweep- They came fast
add furiously, snd then a messen
ger dismounted before the door,
and striding in. said:
“1 have an important message
for the bride. It must be given
her at once.
So, robed in her vestal white-
Kitty received the letter, ana
paused to read it before the Ceres

ter with the question;
“Is said is it true that you had
no right to ask me to be your wife
Read that aud answer me as truly
as t hough you were on your dent li
bad.”
Harmon took the letter and
ran his eyes over the uncertain
writing. Cold chills ran through
his veins as he real. For he fel
that the threat contained therein
wss a genuine one. Thus the note
ran;
“May the girl who has won the
hand and the falpe heart of the
man who has ruined my happiness
see before her my ghost every
time she looks at Harmon Hart.
My living si e cannot ever see,
for before this is read I shall be
dead and out of my misery."
Nettie Stanton.
“Harmon is it true ? Have you
wrongeb the girl, who wrote that
letter.”
Slowly and reluctantly Harmons
answer came from his ashy lips
Rut Kitty's eyes would have seen
the truth for themselves if he had
denied it.
‘‘l have done her wrong in this
way, Litty- / had promised to
marry her. But she drov6 wild
with her jealors folly, oh, Kilty I
could not held loving yon ; yon
a’ e the one to blame after all.”
“Then 1 will be the one to teach
yon your duty. I shall never
exchange another word with you
alter we part, Go to that un
happy girl and tell lier that you
are sorry, and /ha/ you will prove
yourself a man of honor, even at
this la/e period. Tell her also
/hat Kitty Nash accepted your at*
tentions not knowing that another
had a prior right to you.”
Without waiting for an answer
from Harmon she turged to the
ministrr and expressed her sorrow
at his having been summoned on
bco' less errand.
Then she left the room holding
herself proudly erect aud only
showing the pain which wts gnaw
ing at her heart by the hectic
flush which burned so redly on
her cheeks
What passed after she had shut
herself up in her onw room was
only knowu toherse/f and to Him
who sees tire secret thoaghts of
the heart.
The sympathy cf the communi
ty was with Xitty in the stand
she had taken aud Llarmon
found himself punished by the
aviodauce of those wno had here
tofore been Lis friends.
Rad he wished to obey Kitty’s
command with regard to Nettie
be could not have done so for the
had disappeared.
No one knew whether she ha d
carried out Ler threat to destaoy
herself nor ot; but that was the
genera! opinion in the neighbor
hood, and it was shared jy Har
ruon, who, at last, driven to des
peration by the coldness of liis
treatment, joined perhaps to the
pangs of conscience, left the place,
and was, after a time, no longer
even thought about.
* * * * # *
Two years later, upon one of
the visiting days at the hospital,
a beauiiful and btutely young mat
ron accompanied a party of friends
through the wards. She herself
was one of ’he lady managers, and
knew about all the different work
ings of the beneficient institu
tions
Her guests were from out of
town; two of them being aud
groom. The latter was her cousin
who had oeen ordered to the ccun
try the year previous, to recruit
after a course of exhaustive study
in his Alma M«- er. He had been
captivated by the na-ve sweetness
of a young couDlry maiden, and
had succeeded in winning her love
not, however, without some
trouble. For she had received
one bittar lesson in life which bad
made her doubtful of mankind in
general But here she was with
O
as pretty as arose just bursting
into blossom, and this was her
wedding trip.
“KaUiarine,’’ said Mrs. Meilville
“I am sure you will admire one of
the nursed in the Ward
She is a perfect picture in her nun
like garb, with her black eyes and
red cheeks- But she is so quiet
that one would think she must,
have me/ with a shock which had
turned her into a bemtifue statue
of silence.”
“You are growing absolutely ro
mantic, Cousin Lizzie 1’ said Oscar
Wrigbtou laughingly. -Wen did
/he change take place in you?”
“But she is as quick and efficient
as though she lived and breathed
only to give a-d to the sick dying
continued the lady, smiling at
Oscar, but paying no other heed
to his words; “Here she is now.
Bn/ something must have happen
ed; she looks sttangely excited.”
All eves were at once turned to
*
wards the youug woman specified
by Mrs. Mellville.
She was indeed worthy of/he,
encomium which had been passed
'upon her.
She was /all and slight, with
arge flashing black eyes aud ex*
exquisitely cut features, which
looked all the more scrulpturesuue
for the plain while setting of iter
nurse’s cap.
She was bending over a col up
on which lay a man whose life was
evidently fast ebbing away; und,
as Mrs. Mellville paused and spoke
to hot- her agitated face made it
appearant. that she had been re*
cently moved by some strong emo*
tion
Mrs. MeLville was about to
question her about the patients
under Ler care, when a suppressed
cry from the young bridn attrac'-
ed the attention of ail,
Katharine had turned very
while, and \*as clinging to her
,iu(band’s arm, while her eyes were
fixed upon the death-like face up
on the pillow.
“Oh, Oscar,” she said shudders
ingly, “it is //artuon Hart!”
With a tender “Never mind,
Kitty; he is nothing to jou now.’’
her husband was about to draw
her away from the spot; but like a
flash had come an intuition of her
personality to the nurse.
She fixed her eyes upon Khath
arine’s shocked foce, and asked
gently.
“Are you she who was Kitty
Nash?”
“Yes.”
“Then Providence has brought
you to this bed-ide at this moment
I am Nettie Stanton, and the man
who wronged us both lias before
us. He ia dying. I have forgiv
en him freely. Will you also
speed his parting soul?”
At this moment the patieut open
ed his and turned them first upon
Nettie them upon Kittie. But he
closed them with a groan.
“Kitty is here, Hannon,” said
NeUie softly, “and I have told her
that I have forgiven you. I am
sure she also cbeerishes no hard
feelings towards you,” turning he r
eyes upon Katharine.
Cut even as Nellie spoke a shiv
er passed over Harmon’s while
face and he was no moie.
Then with lips as pallid as that
of the dead, Nettie bent and kiss
ed his marble forehead.
Hannon had been her first and
only love, and now that be was
dead she would remain his fairiifnl
mourner all through the rest of
her life
The two womeu who had thus
strangely met beside that solemn
death bed, formed for each other
a lifelong friendship.
Later on Nettie told Katharine
how in her dispair she had attem
pted to drown herself and had
been rescued by a stranger, who
had taken her to his home io an
exhausted condition. 7/ow his
wife—an- earnest Christian wo- \
man had cared for her lerder
ry, and had labored successfully to
bring her to a knowledge of her
Savior during the long illness
which followed; aud bow she had
risen from her sick bed determir.- j
ed to devote her futura life to i
doing good to her suffaring fellow
beings choosing for her sphere
of action the duties of a nurse. |

THE BOV WHO TRIED TO STEAL A HIDE.
They said the train was an hour
behind time and that infottnaliou
made ns ad feel put out aud an
nopeJ. Therefore when a boy of
fourteen poorly dressed and h.iv*
ing a dampish look, came along
the platform asking for financial
aid to get, to R , on the train
we were waiting for, it was but
natural that oneand all replied •
“If you waul to go to R ,
take the dirt road ! You look as
if you were used to damping ?’’
He hap no saucy word it. reply
When he went and stood iu the
light of the window, and I saw
how he shivered in the cold wind,
and how unxious and worried be
seemed to be, I grew ashamed
of my gruff words. I saw two or
three look him over as / had done
and J had no dount that they felt
as I did. / ouffht to have walked
up \o the boy and said:
“Here my la 1, if you want to go
to R- , I’m willing to help yon-
Take this half-dollar how happens
it tt that a lad of your age is cold
ragged, hnngiy and away from
tome and friends?
But I didn't. I edged toward*
him, ashamed, and yet not quite
ready to acknowledge it to him.
and all of a sudden he disappear-
I reasoned that he had gone up
the hill to the village and that his
pretending to want to go to R
est men. When you reas'n that
way the heart grows hard pretty
faft and yon feel a bit revengeful
We talked the matter over four or
five of us—and the conclusion was
that the boy would die on the gal*
laws.
Well tne train came along after
awhile, and it was moving away
after a brief stop when a pierc
ing shriek, foil wed by shouts
and calls, brought us to a stop.
‘'Somebody’s been run over!”
called a voice, and iE a momen t
the coaches were emptied.
Yes, somebody had been run
over—had a leg cut off above the
knee by one of the cruel wheels.
Who was it? How di lit happen?
It was our boy—the Ixd who was
to end his day on the gallows. H
had crept under the coach to
a ride on the trucks. There he
was, having only a few minuses to
live- -his face a* white as the snow
banks—his eyes roving from face
to face—his lips quivering as 1/0
meu bent down anil spoke words
of sympathy;
“Who are you ? ’ asked the con
due or.
“Tim !”
‘ You shouldn't have tried it.”
“Bui I wanted lo gel to R

work, but nobody would have me

“But anybody would have give

“Oh, no they wouldn’t! I asked
lots and lots of men and they slid

There we were—the half dozen
of us who had repelled bun with
insuli—wrung his young heart still
more—sent him to his horrible
dea’h under the wheels! We
dared net look into bis face—we
even shunned each other.
If it could only come to pass
again—if Heaven would but send
him back to earth and let him stand
before us as he did that winter’s
night—but it is too late!

THE NEGRO .S FUTURE.
Atlanta, June 3, —TheAtla a
Evening Journal of to M lay, pub
lishes an interview with ex-Senatov
Robert Toombs, on the future of
the negro. They are his views as
they would hi ve been given iu the
North American Review, had no/
bad health prevented /lie prepur is
tion of an article. He says his
speech on slavery in Tremont Tern
pie, Boston is as true 'o-day as it
was then and will be for all time,
/’he negro race is an inferior race.
Ho was so created, and if God had
not intended to make him inferior
to the white man, he would never
have created him black. AM nis/o
ry shows hi.n to be incapable of
governing himself; be cannot there
fore, govern countries nor any,
tbing eise. Ho was intended to
work in an inferior capacity in
this world, and his bes/ and only
proper field is tilling the soil.
Speaking of him
AS A RACE,
He says the position of Rev Dr
Haygood, that the two laces must
rise or fall together, is very fool
ish. The negro race ia dependent
on the whites for everything. He
does not think they can bo educat
ed. It will be found in the enu
that the negio as a race is unedu
catioliable. He says the negro
race at the South will not colonize
He says the best place for them is
in the South among their friends.
They will stay here for they are
well treated as submissive and
obedient us ever. Ho Hays
EDUCATION IS INCREASE O CRIME.
among them, A r.egoe is out of
his element at the blackboard.
His nutural home is in the cotton
patch and the plow. There lie has
always done best and there will
always done best, and there he will
always do bast.
To the question of the Journal
representatives as to the,
WAR OE RACES.
General Toombs suid there was
not a particle of danger. The
negroe knows his place and will
keep it. He was led astray po
litically assray at the South, but
be drifted back aud now vo/eb
gh/. Tbose who get a little up
pish socially, will fall back into
place all right when they- find /hat
it will never do to try and place
themselves on a level with the
whites.
As to the future oftlie negro
race in the Sogth, he said, it is
the plainest tiling in the world
He will die out he is dying now,
I think 1 ought to understand the
the census, I have studied it
enough, I tell you that tt is be*
ing falsely in/epreted by certain
people in tnis country. The ne
gro is dying out That is what
