A Victim of Charity.
It was at a church fair, and
he had come there at tl\e special re¬
quest of bis ‘Cousin, 1 who was, at the
bead of the flower table. He opened
the door bashfully, and stood, hat in
hand, looking at the brilliant scene
before hiin, when a young lady rushed
up, and, grabbing him by tbe arm,
said:
‘Oh 1 you must, you will take a
chance in our cake. Come right over
here. Thiswav. 1
Blushing to the roots of his hair, he
stammered oqi tlia| ‘Rea|Jy he didn't
have the pleasure of koowihg— 1
‘Ob’! tMt'Mll right, ‘ said the»yotM»g
lady. ‘You‘11 know me better before

And she almost dragged him over to

‘Qh, there isn't any'but about it, ‘
said the yovipg lady, smiling sweetly.
‘You know you promised.*
‘Promised ?‘
‘Well, no, not exactly that; but you
will take just one slice,* and she look¬

called to a companion: ‘Oh, Miss Lar¬
kins, here is a gentleman who wishes
to have his fortune told. 1
‘Oh,does be ? Sen'd him right over, 1
answered Miss Larkins:
‘I beg your pardon, but I'm afraid
you are mistaken. I don't remember
saying anything about—'
‘O, but you will,* said the first
young lady, tugging at the youth's
arm. ‘It‘s for the good of the cause,
and you won‘t refuse,* aud once more
the beautiful eyes looked soulfully in¬
to his. ‘Here we are. Now take an
envelope; open it. There ! you are
going to be married in a year. Isn't
that jolly. 6’eventy-five cents please. 1
This time the youth was carefyl to
hand out the exact change.
‘Ob, I should just like to have my
fortune told. May I ?* said the first
young lady.
‘Of course you may, my dear,* said
Miss Larkins, handing out one of her
envelopes. ‘Oh, dear, you are going
to be married this year too. Seventy
five cents more, please,* and the poor
youth came down with auotber dollar
note. ‘No change here, you know,*
added Miss Larkins,putting the green¬
back iu her pocket.
‘Oh, come; let's try our weight,*
said the first yonng lady, once more
tugging at the bashful youth's coat-
sleeve, and before he knew where he
was, he found himself standing on the
platform of the scales. ‘One hundred

‘Ob, howl would like to be a great

on the scales like a bird. 'One hun.

from twenty to twenty-five miles of
Denver Col..between Cherry and Run¬

remarkable obstruction to their further
progress, consisting of a bnried forest.
The trees are petrified and agatized
of various sizes, and are aro hurried at
a depths of from ten to twenty feet,as
deep as the men found necessary to go.
These trees were -met in half dozen lo¬

The Locksmith s Chance.
Pat Lyon, the great locksmith of
his day was often sent for by presi-
dents of bunks and other great people,
and he rather liked the idyii of keep-
ing the great people waiting. So one
morning Pat said he would come as
s oon as he lutd done his breakfast,
which happened to be a great deal
later than usual this particular mor¬
ning.
Pretty soou caure the second mes¬
senger, fqr Pat from the bauIt presi¬
dent, and so Pat started oft' with mes¬
senger number two. When he reach¬
ed the bank be found the president,
and'cashier, aud clerks, all in a fret
and fume. They couldn't open the
safe to get the money out for the busi¬
ness of the day; something or other
was the matter with the lock. They
were in a deal of stew, and hailed P.*t
on his arrival with delight, for now
iht , y coul( j op( , u the lock,
Pat was bald-headed, and had a
habit of rubbing bis bands on his
pate, thus really rubbing his hair a-
way. lie wore spectacles as a general
thing, but when he Was particularly
desirous of looking at anything, or
was particularly excited, he took bis
spectacles off his eyes and fixed them
en his forehead.
He now rubbed 1iis hands over his
head a minute, phis his spectacles over
his forehead, looked at the lock a half
minute, worked at 'ft with his tools a
minute or two, aud the lock was fixed
all right and the safe was ready to
open.
The president was delighted, and
so was tlie cashier. They shook
hands with Pat, who received their
salutations with a good deal of stvla
“And now, Mr, Lyon,“ asked the
president, “what is your charge? 1 *
Pat put his spectacles a little high¬
er, just a little, and’isaid:
“Oue hundred dnfiurs. “
“What! one hundred dollars for less
than three minutes work, M, Mr.
Lyon? Wfcy.fcbisi* outrageous, “ said
the uresklswt-. cashier.*
“/t fs extortion,“ said the
“All right,“ safd Put Lyon, rubbing
his band over his head, and then put¬
ting his spectacles a iittle higher over
his forehead—just a little. “You
won't give me my money—*1 won't
give you my work And Pli leave
things as I found them. Here he took
hold of the lock, and circusing with it,
got it out of gear as it was at first,
and so left the safe Jin precisely the
same unopenable condition as he
found it. Tnen ha started to go
home.
But the president and cashier, ap-
yreciating the situation, seeing what a
fix they were in, begged Pat to let up
on them, and fix the lock so they
Could open the safe.
Pat complied with their request
but still kept his hand on tbe safe.
It was all ready to open, but wasn't
yet opened.
“Now, be reasonable in your
charges; do, Mr. Lyon,“ said the bank
president.
“Two hundred dollars,“ said Pat,
rubbing bis head and raising bis
spectacles once more.
“Why, this is downright robbery, 11
cried the president.
t ( Might a-, well break into the safe,
as open it at that rate," remarked the
cashier,
“AH right,“ said Pat, circusing
with the lock rapidly, before anybody
could prevent him. and then banging
the safe door too, leaving it for the
third time hermetically sealed.
By this time the president bad his
mad up, He ordered Pat out of his
office, and sent for a rival blacksmith.
He came quick enough, and
and fussed long and hard enough, but
he didn't fix the lock, and he couldn't
open the safe. nd it got to be near¬
ly 10 o.cIock, and no money available
yet.
In despair the third messenger was
dispatched after Pat Lyon, who came
back with a lot of extra dignity.
“Open that at your own terms, Mr.
Patrick Lyon,“ said tbe president.
Pat rubbed his head, put bis spec-
tables way up on his forehead, and
opened the Safe.
“Now your terms,” said the presi-
den t.
“Three hundred dollars," sai 1 Pat.
The ca shier protested.but the pres-
Vol. III. No. 16
ident paid the money. *’why he will
a ^ c f° r $400 next time, 1 * remarked
the president to tbe cashier,
“Excuse me.‘‘ said Pat with dlg-
”ity, ‘‘but my terms next time wfllbo
$500 “
“Y^ou see, “ said the president to
the cashier, as he gave him the check.
And Pat rubbed bis bead, and took
his cheek without a word. He was
roaster of the situation, aud he know
it.
Felton & Co., Again Formulate.
On Monday Inst Ffelton & Go,, met
in the Markham house, Atlanta, drew
up their contract for the campaign
and sent it forth.
1. The political “caucus* 1 is only
advisory in its character—should have
no binding force upon the actions and
conscience of free citizens of a free
government; but every ballot cast at
an election should represent the con¬
victions of the individual voter.
2. we insist that it is essential to
free government to have a free ballot
and a fair connt of all votes honestly
cast at any State or National election;
and the machinery of managing and
supervising elections should be guard¬
ed nnd protected by law so that fraud
will be impssible.
3. Honorable payment of all honest
debts—especially tbe payment of the
National and State debts—as rapidly
as our surplus revenues will authorize.
4. In financial matters we recognizo
gold and silver as the money of the
Constitution; and all paper issues—
greenback or other paper currency—
should bo redeemable, at the will of
tbe bolder, in coin, at the Treasury
of the United States.
5. As soon as the reduction of the
National debt will permit, we favor
tlift repeal of all Internal Revenue laws,
apa believe that all the revenues of the
{federal Government upoa.fffteigti should be raised
by a tariff articles im¬
ported into tfii *' country, and which
ta ro¬
ri sfonriw ample encourage-
f'A InMJeTniol protection tr> all
home industries.
6. We advocate a liberal system of
internal improvement* by the Federal
Government for works of a National
character only—especially onr water-
routs of. transportation.
7. The National Government ia the
supremo authority known to the peo¬
ple of this country, and its laws have
tbe first claim to our obedience.
Every citizen of tbe United States is
entitled to a full protection of his per¬
sonal aud political rights under those
Federal laws.
8. We believe every cbild should
have the opportunity of acquiring
a common English education in
schools forever made free by a liberal
support from the State Government.
9. Monopolies, by which a prir-
ibdged class exercise a controlling
power over the property and labor
of a multitude of citizens, are opposed
to the genions and spirrit of onr Gov-
erment; and we will steadily resist
every measure or system that tends
to concentrate political power or un¬
due buisneas opportunities iu the
hands of the few at the expense of the
many.
10. The present system of leasing
tue State convicts must be wiped
from our statutes as a foul blot upon
our civilization and humanity.
11. Party proscription and sectional
prejudices have greatly retarded the
material groth and development of our
State—which material prosperity we
earnestly desire and will diligently for
ter; and to this end we will use every
moral and legal means to suppress
proscription and to liberalize sectional
prejudices—recognizing the unity of
onr common Federal Government and
equality of all men before the laws.
A story is told of a Jew of Tewks¬
bury, in 1820, who fell into a well on
Saturday—the Jewish Sabbath. Out
of reverence for the day lie would not
suffer himself to be drawn out. The
Earl of Galston, on whose land the
well was, wonld not allow him to bd
taken 6ut the next day out of respect
for Sundsy, and before Monday came
he died.
