It is jus! discovered that Perry Davis, the originator of the cele brated “Pain killer,” has lor the past fifteen years been an inmate of the Mercer county alms house- There is probably no tru/h in the s.ory going the rout ds (hat George Washington, the Father of His Country, was cnce indicted for fail nre to do his dn/y as a road offi cial. Both Forgiving “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 mony should proceed. * Then with cheeks and lips as white as her dress she turned to Hairnou aud handed him the let OUR OWN SECTION—WE LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. JUNE 16 1865. 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. | “Smith met with a lamentabl accident yesterd “Haw was that ?” He was on fcis way to call on his girl when the train ran off the track and capsise.” “Too bad be® must have been cut up about it.” Cut np.

The Grecian Island are essenti ally pagan. JOHN T. WILSON, Jk., Publisher 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 will become of him. It is the his tory of all inferior races, and here is the broad distinction. And here is the broad distinction. The ne"ro iace is a scrub race. The white race is a thoroughbred race, la time /be scrubs are bound to die out, but the thorongnbreds live ond procreate the species: It is a law of God and cannot change. HOWTO MAKEGOOD WIVES. It is an undeniable fact that a due aegree of imponanoe has not in late yea-is, been accorded in the education of the American young women, to apractical knowledge of the duties an 1 responsibilities that will devolve upon them when they assume the cares ot homes of their own. Their grandmothers certainly and probab|y their moths ers learned the science of house keeping, but to an injurious ex tent. the education as the average girl of the period is generally eitber wholly frivolous, purely ornamental or, at best, so obstruso and impracticable a- to be of lit tle value in gtting her to fullflil bet destiny as wite aiod mother, if slie taught how to select food in the market for the family table how to prepark it and s-rve it properly, and how, by .in infiuiiy of the dainty, graceful arts aud bits of practical knowledge about housekeeping, to make her home bright and attractive and happy she will fall far shoit of what will be expected of her when she mar ries. <1 WIN NETT HE HAL It.
