THE DEBUTANTE;' OB DARGBRS OP CITY LIPS. CHAPTER I. EUie_! Elsie Gray! You good-for-nothing little trial, come up here, instantly," piped a ahrillvoice. “ Here Elsie, button my,overshoes first, and get my umbrella, and thick gloves, and then run up.toJMrs. Farley and;see what she wants of you,’’ said.a deep bass voice. “ Elsie shan’t come to either of you, for I am playing, and she’s got to* be my horse," interposed ,_the surely, determined (tones of a boy of twelve, as he alternately tightened and loosened the oord, .which he had fastened around the neck and waist of a slender girl of fourteen. The'cord was sometimes drawn so tightly„as to momemtarilyVsuspend _the breath of the poor victim, who endeavored to free herself from the boy-tyrant who tortured her. But every effort to regain Armors endurable position, only increased her sufferings, and it was with inexpressible relief that she heard the sound of the usually dreaded voioes, which called her in such opposite directions. As the girl stopped to free herself from the cord which confined her, a heavyj blow from the boy’s < clenched .fist, aimed at the side of her head, sent her resling against the hall balusters,,and she'fell, bruising her head se- f verely. Elsie Gray was a bound girl. Happy the few hearts to whomj.these word* convey no idea of suffering, who in blissful ignorance, desire a_definition_of the word “bound-" Elsie’s father, who was a poor portrait pain ter, died when his little girl had aohieved her second his young wifejto support herself and infant child, with the pro ceeds of her needle, the magnificenoe of which income all“realize, who attempted this means of support. Poor Marion Gray, unaccustomed to inces sant labor, wearily dragged the thread through the.needle’s oye for a few dreary .months ; but one morning her neighbors discovered that the worn-out seamstress had all the time been drawing another thread, with the twisted cot ton, through the eye of her needle, for her slender thread of life had snapped : and so little Elsie was an orphan. When the child had attained her tenth year, all these years having been passed iu an asy lum, crowded with children, whose circum stances peculiarly corresponded with her own, one morning she was] ushered into the pres ence of tho matron, who was conversing with a strange lady, and who, as little Elsie]oponed the door, said— “ This is tho child. Hold up your head, Elsie, and let the lady see.yout face. This is Mrs. Farley, .a kind lady, with whom you are going to live until you are a^woman.” “ Come here, child,” drawled the stranger. “ Now tell me what youcan do.” “ I can knit quite fast, sew a little, rub. sil ver, wash dishes, read and write, and say my cateohism and prayers,” replied Elsie, with a respectful curtsy, and modestly her eyes, after having been obliged, as’it seemed to.her, j _to“soundj,suohJ» - loud iJ trunipetJn her own praise.. “ You say this years ”ofage,” continued .Mrs. Farley, (addressing the gmat -Imn. “ and yet she is, not. nearly .as..large as my youngest daughter Bmmagene, who is just ten.” “ Elsie has always enjoyed perfeot health, although she is not as.robust looking aa many ohildren of her age,” returned the matron, “ however as you say, you will only need her a« a sort of playmate, to assist in amusing your younger children. I think, as eh* lu a very sweet disposition, if you were to go over the whole establishment, you would not find a child better suited to your purpose." Then followed more conversation, to whioh Elsie listened with wide open ears, seeming to realize that she was about to experienoe the second great change in her young life, and the result of it was that Elsie set out that day with the stranger for her new home. The sphere of action Into whioh the little orphan was now introduced, differed sadly from her hitherto careless and almost happy existence, for as she had lost her mother before she was able to appreciate the inestimable blessing of her love, her only little heart had poured its wealth of affection on the compan ions by whom she was surrounded, and the separation from these was only the introduc tory sorrow to all those whioh she was after wards to encounter. The family into whioh she had now entered consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Farley, their three daughters, Georgians, Isabella and Emmagene and tho one hopeful of Mrs. Farley’s heart, her only son, Gustavus Jaoobus Farley. Bitter indeed was the life of little Elsie Gray, during the four years which she passed under this roof. Impossible the tasks required of her, unspeakably heavy the burdens laid upon her tender shoulders. And in all that time, not a friendly voice to encourago, or a loving tone to soothe her; nothing in the wide world to which she could cling, but the little brown-covered bible whioh had belonged to her mother, and which the orphan nightly bedewed with tears, as she gained strength her weary path of daily duty. To the possession of this one choice treas ure, Elsie never alluded, for had the young tyrant Gustavus, discovered its existence, he would have forthwith caused its disappear ance. On the morning referred to at the commence ment of our story, as Elsie regained her feet, half-stunned by the heavy blow which had leveled her, her tormentor exclaimed, exci tingly— “ 80-ho, beggar-brat 1 What have we here f” and he pulled from his pocket the only delight of Elsie’s heart, her little brown bible, and pluoking from it two leaves, held them toward her, saying, “Take a little dose now ; as we can’t al low you the usual quantity to-night." “ Give that book to me, Gusty," said Elsie, extending her hand to oatoh it, as the boy tossed it to the oeiling, but by a sudden spring forward he caught it as it fell, and tore it from its oovers, exclaimiag, “Belonged to the beggar mother, eh ? S’pose she was a beggar too ?” Suddenly he dropped the book, still retain ing the covers, and uttered a fearful yell, whioh resounded through the house, and which brought his mother and sisters to the spot, his father having left the house a few moments previously. Th.e (Georgia Literary and Temperance Crusader. What a sight met the gaxe of the astonished spectators 1 The poor oreature, who for y ears had borne the buffetings, and soourgings to which this family had subjected her, had turned upon them at last, and now held her chief tormentor at bay. Yes 1 There stood Elsie Gray, with glitter ing eyes and ashen lips, one hand buried in the thiok, light hair of the boy, who cowered be fore her, while she extended the disengaged one for the oovers, which the trembling cow ard immediately dropped. There is something awful, at all times, in anger which verges upon madness. The pas sion whioh led to the commission of the first murder of whioh we have any knowledge, places its disfiguring seal upon the features of which it takes possession. The fairer the countenance, the deeper the mark, and those who now gazed upon the out raged girl, felt strangely subdued by the presenoe of the evil spirit they had evoked. Elsie having regained the book, unmindful of spectators, placed it within the covers from which it had been so rudely severed, and tur ning her bright eyes upon Mrs. Farley, who, having somewhat reoovered her presenoe of mind, now advanced with threatening ges tures, said, as she seized a long iron gas pole, which stood near her, “ Strike me if you dare!” “0, heavens! Georgy, the dreadful orea ture has gone mad !’’ said Mrs- Farley, faint ly, as she shrank from before the dangerously threatening rod. Misses Georgianna, Isabella and Emmagrene Farley, remained in their respective positions, neither daring to advance or retreat, seeming ly petrified at the existence of a spirit in their midst of whioh they had not dreamed, while Elsie Gray first broke the silenoe by saying in a clear, cold voice, “ Yes, mad, Mrs. Farly, or very nearly so. Do not oome near me or 1 may kill you." Then suddenly dropping tho weapon, which she had raised in defiance, she said in a bro ken voice, “ May God forgive me,” and turn ing fled swiftly up stairs, nor paused until she reached her own little attic room, where, hav ing locked herself in, she drew from her bo som the innocent cause of the late disturbance, and gazing upon it with a long, wistful look, into which all the tenderness of her nature entered, she whispered, “We will leave the house, where we have been torn asumSfbour souls wrenched from the poor coverings which contain them. Como little book,” and with a soft kiss, she returned it to its snowy resting plaoe. Half an hour later, and she had left forever the house where she had passed so many bitter hours. Young, friendless, and penniless in a great city. 0, may the Guardian Angel fold his wings closely about her. There is need of it i CHAPTER 11. When Elsie Gray first turned her face toward the great world which she had now to meet alone, the bitterness which filled her heart prevented her from realizing to its utmost ex tent the loneliness of her situation ; but as the day wore away in fruitless endeavors to obtain employment, and the evening shadows gather ed, resting heavily upon tho crowded roofs of the city, she shrank in terror from passing the night in the street. As she stood gazing at the door of a small house, (experience having taught ]£r to shun more stately dwellings) endeavoring to sum mon eourage to beg a night’s shelter within, a kind voice acoosted her with, “ What do you wish for, my child ! Why are you in the street alone so late?” The tone, more than the words, brought the tears to EUia’a eyes, and turning toward tho speaker, she beheld a benevolent-looking, iuH dle aged woman, who regarded her with an expression of kindness and interest, to whioh the poor child wsMtn utter Btranger. Believing that heaven had at last sent a friend to her relief, Elsie, in a few words made the stranger acquainted with her neces sities. As she concluded her simple tale, her newly found friend said, with an air of almost moth erly kindness, “ Poor child! Come with me and you shall be cared for ;”-so Elsie laid her little hand trustingly in that of her companion, and the two walked along together; it never once oo ourring to the innooent girl, that the woman who had accosted her was, like herself, unat tended. The stranger led her young oompaniou swif tly along for a few moments, and then, quite out of breath, they paused near a stand where several carriages were drawn up, awaiting passengers. Here the woman beckoned to one of the drivers, who immediately oame toward her, with a contortion upon his face which was evidently intended for a smile, but whioh merged into a leer which sent a shiver to El sie’s heart. “ Cousin John,” said Elsie’s companion, at which mode of address another leer passed over the man’s evil face, “ I wish you to take this young woman to my house; you know where it is, and as I myself cannot return im mediately, you may tell Catharine to make her oomfortable.” (With a peculiar accent upon the last word.) Then “ Cousin John” spoke to the woman in a tone whioh was inaudible to Elsie, and the two retired to a little distance, and con versed rapidly in an undertone, leaving Elsie standing near the carriage. As they had inadvertently taken their posi tion under the street lamp, which threw its rays direotly upon their faoes, the young girl was surprised and startled to observe the ohanges whioh passed over her new friend’s countenanoe, as the conversation progressed. The look of benevolenee left her faoe, like a mask suddenly falUng, and in its place ap peared low cunning and coarse sensuality. Elsie marked these changes with a shrink ing heart, and when the debate was ended, unwillingly entered the oarriage, being satis fied by that instinot of purity, which overy woman possesses, that she had fallen into evil hands, yet not daring to demur, lest she should arouse the suspicion of the woman, who eyed her sharply, as she closed the door upon her. No sooner had Elsie seated herself within the carriage, than she overheard the driver saying in a suppressed voioe, “ You’ve got a young ’un this time and no mistake. I’ll see you in an hour,” and the vehicle rattled away, bearing within a heart filled with undefined forebodings of evil. They.had proceeded at a rapid paoe for a few moments, when the driver.suddenly drew the rein upon his horses, and answered the salutation of a brother .choval-deoarosse, and a short conversation ensued, during whioh Elsie looked out from the carriage, window, and speculated upon the chanoe of escape. The street through which they drove was narrow and dark, and as Elsie softly turned tho door-handle, she discovered that she could descend on the side opposite to the one on whioh the two men were conversing without being discovered by either of them. Accor dingly stepping lightly into the.street, she closed the door just as the carriage commenced moving, and running, breathless with haste and terror, secreted herself within tho over hanging doorway of a tall house opposite. As she crept into a narjpw corner, upon the cold stone steps, she knelt down and prayed earnestly that God would take away the life that seemed so valueless, and receive her to the home where the weary arc at rest. CHAPTER 111. It was midnight when Thomas Bremer re turned from his usual labors at the theater where he had been engaged for twelve years as leader of the orchestra. “ Honest Tom,” as he was usually called, faithfully performed in an unostentatious way, the duties of his profession, and also those of a Christian man. Possessed of a large heart, strong mind and sound judgment, he never missed the oppor tunity whioh continuallly occurs to the willing minded, of doing good to a suffering fellow creature. As we before stated, it was midnight on the 23d of September, 1841, that “ Honest Tom” returned to his bachelor lodgings in A street, and as he ascended the steps, whistling his favorite “ Zauberflote,” he stumbled in tho darkness upon some objeot, which, as he open ed the hall door, and a faint ray of light fell upon the object, proved to be a sleeping girl, who, in her dreauis, had moved dangerously near the edge of the upper step, and Thomas Bremer refleoted'with some satisfaction, that he had probably been instrumental in saving n fellow-ereature’B life. As the door opened, the girl awoke, and started up with a.cry of terror, which her dis coverer vainly attempted to hush. A few moments elapsed, during which time the earnest tones of “ Honest Tom’s” kindly voioe, found their way to the girl's heart and she consented to enter the house, while the old man, having no wife, went.in search of his landlady, who presently appeared, arrayed en robe de nuit, but littlejpleased at the untimely disturbance. So Elsie Gray found shelter for the night, and on the morrow through the intervention oi Thomas Bremer, who listened to her story with moist eyes, she obtained employment, at a very moderate remuneration, of Mrs. Gay lord, Mr. Bremer's landlady, but suoh as it was, the girl was thankful for it, and never forgot the first friend to whom under God, she owed her present comparatively happy situa tion. How carefully she attended to the personal wants of this friend—how nicely .she dusted and arranged the furniture in his room, with out disturbing tho vast piles of music which were tho delight of the old man’s heart, need not be told. One morning,.when Elsie had as usual ar ranged the oontents of the room to her satis faction, and casting a lingering lookj around to see that all was adjusted in perfect accord ance with her ideas of propriety, her eye hap* pened to alight upon the wide. open piano, whioh in its master’s absence.was always closed, hut whioh, oontrary to custom, this morning, stood temptingly open, she stole a timid glance around the room, and then softly approaching the instrument, laid «er hands upon the keys. At first only discord answered her touch, but soon by dint of persevering effort she suc ceeded in arranging the single notes into the favorite “ Zauberflote” of her benefac tor. Twice she executed the piece single-handed, and then allowing her hands to rest upon the key-board, poured forth the full melody of her rich, but untutored voioe, filling the room with rippling waves of harmony. As the last strain gently followed the echoes of its predecessors, the door suddenly opened, and Thomas Bremer stood before the young amateur, who could not in her confusion es cape the searching glance which the old man bent upon her as he exclaimed, “And where did you learn the ‘Zauberflote,’ girl ?” A crimson blush suffused Elsie’s counte nance, as she replied in a low voice, “ I havo heard you play it, sometimes, sir.” There was a moment’s pause, and then the old man said, “ A girl who possesses such tal ent should put it to some other account than sweeping and dusting,” saying whioh ho left the room abruptly, and Elsie remained abash ed and terrified, fearing she had given great offence. CHABTER IV. What a romantic affair! Mamma could not believe it when we told her of it, but Charles assures us it is quite true, and Mrs. Farley is so mortified, that I scarcely believe she will he able to hold up her head after it. And Charles says, Emmageno has gone to Baltimore to spend the winter, where it is to be hoped she will bind up her bleeding heart. For my part, I’m not sorry, for I have always disliked those Farleys! Suoh airs ! And ev erybody knows they were nobodies, once!” Yes,” chimed in another of the voioes of society’s friends—“ as you say, I should think they would die of mortifioation: and to think of the present Mrs. HarriDgton Granger, hav ing once been their servant. Oh, here comes Maggie, do tell her all about it,” continued the speaker, as a tall and graceful girl entered the room, and perceiving the look of interest, visible on the usually vacant faces before her, inquired the cause thereof. “ Maggie Lelandcried Clara Seine, who was a belle of three season’s duration, “ open your ears and listen to the most wonderful news ! You know what superhuman exertions Mrs. Farley has made to captivate Harrington Granger for Emmagene, and what airs they have all given themselves, on the strength of their expectations ? Well, what do you think ? The wealthy, elegant, distinguished and fas cinating Mr. Granger has married the Prima Donna of the troupe, who sang here last week. It was her first uppearanoe on the stage, and Mr. Granger, who, it seems, has been in love with her for a long time, strongly ohjooted to her appearing even once beloie the pub but to please the old man who educated hen Miss Gray, (isn’t it a shocking name?) insis ted on proving that his expectations that she could excel in the profcssion.to whioh he had devoted her, were_well grounded, and you know the denouement. All her hearers were frantlo iu their praises of her on that night.— Now comes the strangest of all. Miss Gray, who is an orphan, was once bound out to Mrs. Farley, but was .obliged to ieave hor on Hocount of the horrible cruelty with which she was treated. This Mr. Bremer picked her up in the street, or somewhere, I believe, and educated her, and will live with her always. You see it ends just like a romance, marriage and all. Isn’t it delightful ? I believe that horrible Gustavus Farley had little idea who 5* was he applanded so vocifer ously a few evenings since. I do.not know how the story spiad so extensively, in so short a time, but everybody knows it. When Grandpa heard it this morning, he looked sol emnly over the top of his spectacles at me, and said, “ Kate, my dear, remember that in this safety-valve of European monarchy, the habit of knocking people on to their knees, for the crime of standing upright, is exceed ingly unpopular, therefore it behooves us to carry our politeness constantly about with us, fw in,the little ragged girl whom we pass by with a sneer, we may recognize the future President's wife. Stranger things .have hap pened-. A Dumb Lover. At the time that Francis I, of France, was taken prisoner at the battle of Paria, one of his officers, the valorous Chevalier Beauregard, smitten by the charms of an Italian lady nam ed Aurelia, of a noble family, declared his pas sion to her. Aurelia, although she was flatter ed by the declaration, refusod his pretensions, on the ground of the levity of French charac ter aud theirnational .indiscretion. The ex trcmc.violence of the Chevalier’s love, urged him to propose to tho lady to put his constan cy to any.proof she should.think proper. Aurelia accepted the proposition, and enga ged to marry him if he would consent to re main dumb for six months. Tho Chevalier promised, and from that moment never opened his lips. He returned to Puris among and relations, who lamented the sihgular infirmity he had brought with him from the army.— Beauregard expressed "only by signs. Physi oians were sent for, but lie refused their assis tance. The captive king was at length restored to his*poople, but_his joy on his return was di minished by the unfortunate Cheval-.er, who was honored by the king’s_particular friend ship. Francis sent his best doctors_to hie fa vorite, who this time accepted the medicine, but with no effect. so far as to employ the charlatans, who, in his Time, as well as the present, pretended to possess’spe cificSTor all evils. He even called in those who dealt in charms, but all to no purpose.— All the oourt.wero hopeless'of his.curo, when a fair fortune teller presented hersolf, and wrote to the king that she would undertake the re storation.oi the Chevalier.todns.speecli.

Somo of the most distinguished men in this State have thus expressed themselves in regard to the merits of the Crusader , and it now prom ises to be far more attractive than ever before. Hon. ALEXANDER 11. STEPHENS, says : “Os all the publications I take, I prize none more highly than the Crusader —not one do 1 look for with more interest, and not ono con tains more original and readable matter, in prose and poetry. It is tho best literary jour nal south of the Totomao, aud I think one of (he beat of its kind in the whole oountry.” Hon. ROBERT TOOMBS, says: “1 enclose you my subscription to the Cru sader. Ido not know a newspaper which bet ter deserves tho public patronage. It is not excelled by any weekly which has fallen under my eye, in the excellence and brilliancy of its literary contributions, and I trust it will meet with a patronage equal to its very great merits.” Hon. Judge JOSEPH U. LUMPKIN, says: “ l am delighted with the improvement which the Crusader has undergone. I can cordially recommend it, whioh 1 tuke pleasure in doing, as one of the best family papers in the whole country. It is quietly, but efficiently accom plishing the noble purpose for which it was established.” JuTxiK THOMAS W. THOMAS, says “ I am very mnch pleased with the Crusader. 1 consider it in tho front rank of literary jour nals in point of ability and taste in tho United States. In establishing it and bringing it to its presont high position, you have accomplish ed a feat that I did not consider possible a few years ago. Asa Georgiau lam proud of it— as a Southern man I am grateful to you for this deoided step towards emancipating from Northern influence, and which, so fart I can see and hear, is the result solely of your perseverance and enterprise.” Hon. BENJAMIN H. HILL, says: “ I believo every family in this State ought to take the Crusader. It is tho best secular family papor in all my knowledge in this coun try. 1 admit no superior to it, North-ocvSouth. If any man in Georgia will take tho paper"ott<*- year, and then cithor tho man or his wife will say this eulogy is not just, I will pay his sub scription price. I honestly believe every man will benefit his family by taking the paper. I should have moro hopes of tho rising genera tion, if all the young people would read it. JAMES R. THOMAS, D. D., President of Em ory College, says: “We earnestly solicit from all who have a * heart on the right side,’ to come up to the support of the Crusader. It comes to us in its weekly visits freighted with ohoice matter, whether considered in itß moral or its literary aspects—and in its dress looking as neat and tasteful as a ‘ May Queen’ on a coronation day. Do, everybody, subscribe for the Crusader!'' N. M. CRAWFORD, D. D., President of Mer cer University, says: “ I regard the Crusader as one of the very best family papers now published—North or South. I shall be glad to hear of its inoreased prosperity.” RICH’D M. JOHNSTON, Professor of Belles Lettres, State University, says: “The Crusader has, in my opinion, oreated a greater interest for reading among our peo ple than any other paper ever published at the South. The original articles in it, from the editors, are generally most excellent. Success to you. Y'ou will have it, I feel sure.” Col. JAMES M. SMYTHE, says: “ The Crusader is eminently worthy of South ern patronage, It is a first-rate Temperance and Literary sheet. I trust those who are warmed boneath Georgia skies, will support and oherish this Georgia enterprise, so ably oonducted by Georgia genius. An examina tion of a single number will attract thousands to its goncrous patronage.” Col. LEONARD T. DOYAL, says : “ In papers, magazines and reviews, I take, in all, twenty-six periodicals, from different parts of tho United States, but I do honestly, and am proud to say it, consider the Oeorgia Temperance Crusader far tho best publication I roocive. In my opinion, it is the best journal published North or South, and should be pa tronized by every Southerner.” Kev. J. E. RYERSON, of Nev. Orleans, says; “ I havo long desired to writo you in refer ence to your noble efforts to furnish our peo ple with a paper of the highoßt literary and moral character. You have succeeded beyond my most anxious expectations. In a literary point of viow, as woll as a paper of general intelligence, I know nothing superior in th# whole land. Asa temperance, literary, moral and general intelligence paper, we have not in my humble estimation, its equal. It is worty of the support of every good man. It is worthy of a prominent place in every home in the land, where may it soon find a weloome. It is high time our people were furnished with a puro literature. I feel that, this desideratum you have nobly met in the Crusader. May you prosper more and more, is (he earnest, and honest prayer of your friend.” Rev. A. MEANS, D. D., LL. D., Professor Atlanta Medical College, says: “As an interesting and safo family news paper, we cordially commend the Crusader to parental patronage. Its pure morals, its chaste and uncontaminated pages, and its fine Uterary contributions, supplied by some of the most polished and prolifio pens of the South, to gether with its constant and deferential recog nition of the claims of piety and the Religion of the Cross, make it a weleome and desirable visitor to the consecrated homo and fireside, where beauty and innocence receive their first and strongest impressions for life.”
