VOL. I. DAY AND NIGHT. Oh the rapturous thrill of awaking In the morning cool and gray, When my pulses stir with rejoicing For the gift of another day. Oh a day is too short for such chances Of love and of service true, With the glory of sunshine around me, And my beautiful work to do. Hut the dear day slips from my holding And the chances come and go; While I love and I work a little. And I worry a bit, you know, Then the even ng comes with its quiet, And dreams of the hours past, And I put off my plans until morning, And I’m glad to sleep at last. So my life grows rich with its meaning. Until beauty and service combine; And it claims me with power resistless, It thrills me with longings divine. Too brief are the years of our striving, Far distant the brotherhood drnm But we work with a courage unfailing. And ’ Ife holds a glory supreme. But perhaps in the misty future An hour of quiet may come, When an evening hush may enfold me, And each summoning voice be dumb; 1 may sit perhaps in the stillness And muse on the happy past; Then say my few words of thanksgiving And be willing to sleep at last. —Emma E. Mareau, in Boston Transcript. , ON THE TRAIN.. r- BY EMMA A. OPPER. It was going to be a dull railroad jour ney, that was certain. Dullness per meated the dusty and cindery atmos phere. Kitty Brooks had a book, but she did not feel like reading. She might have looked out, but the telegraph poles dis turbed her, and not much was to be seen at any rate. Three men were asleep. A womau across the aisle was eating out of a lunch basket something of a distinctly oniony odor—onions or garlic. It had afflicted Kitty from the first,- and now she felt that fresh air was absolutely necessary. The cinders could not be much worse than they already were. She relinquished book and puree and umbrella and tried to raise the window. It stuck, of course. And equally of course a man rose up from the seat be hind her, touched his hat, and said; “Allow me!” in polite accents. Had Kitty been more traveled, less unsophisticated, she would have been able to forecast that occurrence with reasonable certainty. As it was, she raised startled eyes and made stammering reply. What she saw -was a young fellow of attractive ex terior, if not precisely handsome, bend ing forward with a courteous smile. What the young man saw was one of the sweetest faces imaginable, biue-eyed and tender-mouthed, under a hat not quite of the newest style; a slender, 1 girlish form, clad in a dress which was not exactly “the thiug,” and a look of tremulous uncertainty. “I’ll put it up,” he said, hastily, and rather stiffly. What in the name of sense was the girl afraid of? He shoved it up with a strong push and sat down. But now that he had seen her face— such an astonishingly charming face!— the back view of her flaxen head and un worldly little hat w’as simply tantaliz ing. He kept an admiring, fascinated gaze upon them. And when she turned, the next moment, a timid flush rising in her eheek, George Floyd's heart actually beat faster. “I didn’t mean to be so impolite as not to say thank you,” Kitty said, bravely as she could. “Thank you!” “You are more than welcome,” he an swered. But the response sounded jerky—or he persuaded himself that it did. “I fancy,” he said, smiling, “that' you were getting tired of the pickled onions of our hungry neighbor?” “Was it pickled onions?” Kitty smiled, too. “Yes; I couldn’t stand it.” “Most of us seem oblivious, though,” be said, glancing around. “I think you and I are the only wide awake people in the car.” “Yes, I am sure one of those men will lose his hat off in the aisle if he doesn’t wake up,” said Kitty. But in the words were an effort—he knew that. She looked shy, shrinking. The ancient simile of a wild-rose oc curred to George Floyd’s intent mind. To nobody could the phrase have been more fitly applied. Her sweetly pretty f&ce was flower-like, and she bore the marks of a half-rusticity, which added ten-fold to her charm. It vexed and distressed him that.she should seem to distrust him; as though be would be guilty of a breath of disre spect —he, and to her! “Warm weather isn’t conducive to en thusiasm among railroad travelers. And —possibly I shouldn’t say it—but the scenery along this road clear to Wyud ham, where my experience of it ends, is worse than ordinary; it’s bad. You get tired of brickyards and spindling woods.” He spoke in a studiously matter-of fact way. hardly looking at her even. She should be made to see that he was a gentleman,at least—little wood-pigeon that she was. Kitty gave him her first full look. “Wyndham?” she said. 4, Yes. I live there,” said George Btatc of Bak leto& Floyd, an odd little hope stirring with in him. “You—are you—” “I am going to Wyndham,” said Kitty. Then she turned pink again and dropped her eyes, and was silent. The train rattled on with an exasper ating chug-cliug. And George Floyd, amused and exasperated, almost ground, his teeth. “I am glad you are going to Wynd ham,” he said, quietly. “I think you’ll like it. I live there. But I don’t see why—l don’t, truly—why that or any thing else should make you feel afraid of me?” He looked annoyed—he looked hurt. Kitty’s distrust had fled long ago, and now her timorousness was going, too. She hid her merry smile behind her loosely gloved little hand. “It doesn't,” she answered. “Ilf is Aunt Calista.” “Why is it Aunt Calista?” George questioned, and wondered if ail men were moved to be as pfotectingly gentle to her as he was. “She isn’t here, is she?” “No.” Kitty’s humorous little smile remained, with just enough of shyness to be pretty. “But I seem to —to feel her, you know—almost!” Her listener laughed, since he could not help it. So did Kitty. “She must be a—a terror, so to speak,” he ventured. “Oh, no! She is—well, Aunt Calista,” said Kitty. “That describes her best, somehow. She is my father’s sister, but not a bit like my father. She has always lived in Wyndham, and Wyndham is very different, I suppose?” “Different from—” George queried. “From our little old farm,” Kitty an swered, smiling. “And you’ve never visited Wyndham and your Aunt Calista?” How interesting was every fact con cernmg this sweet-faced girl—her every word! “No. Mary went first, then Celia. But now that they’ve married, it is me or nobody. She visited us a year ago— Aunt Calista—and lately she wrote for me to come.” “Well?” “Well, and—and I’m afraid she doesn’t really want me. Mary and Celia are different. I don’t think—l really don’t—that Aunt Calista approves of me.” She looked rueful and serious. Her pretty mouth was faintly pouted; a ten dril of hair blew acAss her delicately blooming cheek. Was Aunt Calista blind or insane? George wondered in real impatience. But he said, mildly: “Why not?” Was she saying too much? Kitty knew she was. But he was looking at her with a deep, respectful interest— with that quiet, gentlemanly air which had made her sorry for seeming to be rude to him at first. “Well, I’m not quite so ladylike as the others,” she responded, gravely. (He stared.) “I’m different. I like things just such as the boys like. I’ve tramped around in the woods with them till I know as much about birds and trees and things as they do. I like to fish, and I’m even getting to be a decent shot. And Aunt Calista doesn’t admire it.” “I cannot conceive why not!” said George, warmly. “She doesn’t. She said so to father. And when she saw me once running after one of the cows which had got in to the wrong lot, and washing off the buggy another time, when father was busy, she told mother she was afraid I was ‘hopeless.’” George Floyd coughed. He did not venture to smile, her face was so gently serious. But the visions which rose be fore him shut out all else for a moment. He saw her among the tall greenery of the woods, bare-headed, warm-cheeked; he saw her tracing a path across a dewy pasture, singing—or whistling, maybe; he saw her in the barn and the meadow, in some rattly old wagon, perched in a haystack—and saw always her innocent eyes and sweet-expressioned mouth and rumpled flaxen hair. His heart was beating rather fast now. “I don’t know what kind of a person your Aunt Calista is,” he said,shortly. “She is very good,” said Kitty— “charitable and good, but she is very particular, and I’m a good deal afraid of her. If I didn’t know she doesn’t ap prove of me, and would certainly have asked Mary or Celia again instead—if they hadn’t got married—but I do know it.” He longed to express his utter con tempt for Aunt Calista and all her tastes and preferences —his unqualified horror of her. “I trust she won’t make your life a burden to you while you are with her,” he said, indignantly. “I shall try to be a pleasant surprise to her,” Kitty answered, with simple earnestness. “I told father I should, and I shall. I think I can behave well —as Aunt Calista likes to see a girl be have, I mean—and I’ll try to. I can’t be a ‘romp’ in Wyndham; that’s what Aunt Calista says I am. The boys won’t be there, you see; and perhaps, by keep ing it on iny mind and trying hard—” Her gra"i f y gave way at last to a mis chievous little smile. “And it was that,” said George Floyd, “which made you afraid to thank me for opening the window', and scared at the notion of speaking to me afterward—it was your having your Aunt Calista on your mind? Bryerdon!” he muttered, inaudibly; “and Wyndham only two minutes off. Confound it!” TRENTON, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 14,1891. “Yes,” Kitty owned. “Aunt Calista would think it dreadful, my speaking to anybody 1 hadn’t been introduced to—l know she would. Yes, I’mcertain of it, even when—if—” “Even if it was perfectly apparent that ‘anybody’ was an entirely safe and innocent individual, bored to death by the monotony of a lengthy journey, and only desirous of lessening his own dreari ness and that of his neighbor a little,” said George, in a sort of growl. Wyndham was only half a mile away, and he was feeling angry with his un kind fate, for he didn’t know “Aunt Calista” from Adam. “I suppose so,” said Kitty, apologiz ingly. “Aunt Calista who?” he demanded, with a desperate hope. But the conductor w r as shouting Wynd ham, and Kitty was picking up her traps. “If I can be of assistance about your trunk?” said George, gloomily. “Thank you!” said Kitty. ■ Did she look a little bit sorry, too? He fancied so—he hoped so! She fumbled in her purse and held out her brass tag. The train was stopping before the busy, long station, an 1 she was peering out. “Oh!” she gasped. George saw a tall, elderly lady, in a black bonnet and veil, standing in a calmly waiting attitude. “It’s Aunt Calista,” Kitty said, her blue eyes solemnly fixed in Aunt Calista’s direction. “I didn’t expect her at all. Mary and Celia said she never met them —she always sent her man aud the cart. Oh, dear, what would she think about— about it? She would be shocked the very first thing. I think she’d send me home again. Don’t get off the train with me—don’t take my check! Oh, dear! I—l—if it was anybody but Aunt Calista. You don’t feel angry? You see how it is?” She gave him an imploring look, which he told himself he should never for get, and was gone. At the latest possible moment—the bell was beginning to clang—he stepped from the train. There stood Aunt Ca lista and Aunt Catista’s niece—he seemed to see nothing else. But he cast no glance at them. He strode past at as wide a range as possible, grimly smiling, “George Flovd!” Aunt Calista called, sternly, “come back here!” The young man went back, hat in hand, dazed and staring. “Mrs. West!” he stammered. “Certainly!” said Mrs. West, looking, behind her veil and her glasses, distinctly displeased. “Didn’t you see me? My niece, Miss Kitty Brooks—Mr. Floyd— George Floyd, a very old young friend of mine, Kitty, if I may express it so. And you came on the same train as Kitty? In a different car, I suppose? You would certainly have known her it you had been in the same car, George?" “I—don’t know, I—” He lowered his eyes. At Kitty he did not dare look. “I told you I expected my niece to day, George Floyd!” said Aunt Calista, in halt real and half pretended dis. pleasure. “To-day, and on this train. And you engaged to call on us this evening. Do you remember that, George Floyd?” “Yes, Mrs. West.” He stood like an awkward shoolboy with his “piece” forgotten. He remem bered; and he remembered the tall, rather cold and severely stylish girl he had fully expected to see. “Very well. I’m sorry you were not in the same car. You’d certainly have known that this was Kitty, and you might have introduced yourself and made it pleasanter for her, George. A long, warm trip like that alone— Well!” Aunt Calista changed the topic with a gracious wave of the hand, and sudden ly turned her niece squarely toward her. Her look was a proud, admiring and ap proving one, as well it might have been. “I em glad to see you,dear,” she said. “We’ll walk home. Matthew is ill to day.so I’ll send your trunk by the stage, and we will walk, ths day is so beauti ful. You may come, George.” He looked at Kitty behind Aunt Ca lista’s dignified back. “Shall we tell?” his twinkling eyes asked. And she shook her head, turning if away to hide her shy smile. But the time came when she did tell. It was some months later—for Kitty’s visit te Aunt Calista exceeded in length Mary’s and Celia’s put together. And when Aunt Calista had come, very prompt ly, to realize that her youngest niece was no “hopeless” hoyden, but a sweet and charming girl to whom young men “took” surprisingly,and when Kitty had come, not quite so promptly, to see that Aunt Calista was, after all, very little to be feared and considerably to be loved, then Kitty told her about it. But she told it as a sequel to her engagement. Aunt Calista looked at her over her glasses, and then kissed her on both pink cheeks. “And I am glad it happened so,” she said, heartily. —Saturday Night.

RYAN’S PROPOSITION To Settle With His Creditors at Thirty Per Cent. Stephen A. Ryan, whose failure some time ago created so much interest in Atlanta, has formulated a circular letter to be sent his creditors making a prop osition for a settlement at 30 per cent. The creditors will now have an opportu nity of accepting or declining Mr. Ryan’s offer, and should even a few decline it will doubtless put an end to any other effort at a settlement. Following is a copy of the letter: Atlanta, Ga., Au gust 10.—My Dear Sirs: Doubtless you are fully aware of my failure. I have awaited some authentic inventory of my stock before attempting any settlement, as I could not proceed without aid from friends, and could not ask the aid except on some definite basis. My indebtedness is $970,000. My stock as inventoried by the receiver is $408,665; total, $443,965. The stock is encumbered by mortgages for more than its value. I am aware that it is honestly believed by many of my creditors that I have other cash assets, but such I assure you is not the fact, and can never be realized. By the kind act of others lam enabled to offer you the following for your claims: 30 per cent., as follows: Ten per cent cash; ten per cent twelve months and ten per cent twenty-four month. Defeired payments to be endorsed satisfactorily, and to bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. In addition to this I undertake to pay the expenses of the receivership and court costs, which up to date amount to $30,000. But for treat assistance I could not make this offer. I beg to assure you that this is the best I can arrange—much better than I could unaided, and hope your prompt acceptance of same. More than one huudred and fi ty suits have already been begun, and are being added to everyday about this matter, and I do be lieve that unless there is un adjustment the entire estate will be consumed in liti gation, lasting a long period, and that nothing will get to my creditors in the end. Even if I had the amount found by tbe judge to be in my bands (and ap pealed from to the supreme court,) and the same was paid over to the receiver, yet you would not and could not get as much as I now offer you. If you accept this proposition, please sign the enclosed slip of acceptance, and return same to Mr. Walter R. BrowD, my attorney, At lanta, Ga. With many regrets for my past errors and misfortuues, and with yet some hepo of a future that will meet your approval, I am your* truly, Stephen A. Ryan. Should the enclosed slips of acceptance be signed by the creditors aud sent in, the doors of John Ryan’s Sons will be opened, and Steve liyun will again be at the head of what was the largest retail establishment in Atlanta. SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS Is Business Agent Wynn of the Georgia Alliance Exchange. J. O. Wynn, state business agent of the Georgia state alliance exchange, at Atlanta is short his accounts between twenty and thirty thousand dollars. Oa an investigation of his affairs it was developed that Wynn had made false en tries on his books. Mr. Wynn stated that he had used the money to pay his debts: He war, in debt when he took the office and made use of the money expecting to repay it. The alliance exchange has prepared the following statement in regard to the mat ter. Atlanta, Ga.,August 10. —At the last meeting of directors of the Farmers’ Alliance exchange of Georgia, Col. Peek, president of the exchange, requested that the books and be examined. The board appointed Cornel William A. Broughton as a special committee to ex amine the books of the general business. Upon examination he found that Mr. J. 0. Wynn, state business agent, was be hind with the exchange over twenty thousand dollars. As soon as Colonel Peek was informed of the shortage he at once displaced Mr. Wynn and appointed Colonel William Broughton, acting state business agent. Colnuel Wynn, up on entering upon the duties of state bus iness agent, was required to give a fifty thousand-dollar bond. His individual bondsmen are perfectly solvent and amply able to pay the deficiency; besides this security the Fidelity and Casualty Com pany, of New York, are upon Mr Wynn’s bond lor this amount. The stockholders of the exchange will not lose a dollar by this misappropriation of the funds, as Mr. Wynn has acknowledged that Colon el Broughton’s investigation is correct, and his bondsmen will pay the full amount to the exchange at once. This shortage will not affect the work ings of the exchange in the least, as the money will be immediately paid by the bondsmen, and the exchange is on a good financial footing. All orders are prompt ly filled, and all checks honored upon presentation. A SCORCHER. Fearful Heat Experienced in New York City. A dispatch of Monday states that New York City is experiencing the hottest weather in twenty years. The city seems as a furnace seven times heated. At noon Monday the heat was un bearable, and between that hour and 4 o’clock in the afternoon ambulances were brisky engaged in c rrying to hospitals many human beings prostrated by heat. A continuance of such weather during the week means an enormous increase of mortality, especially in the crowded ten ement district.
