UHAS .L. SCHLATTER, Genera? Superintendent. JESSIE’S KEPENTANCE. BY MBS. BOSA B. DICISBSOS. ‘So you've come again, Charley! ’ Jessie Roberts turned herself round from the piano at which she was sitting, and greeted her visitor without arising. •Yes, like the simpleton I aui,’ was the half-scornful reply; ‘but I could not help it. My heart brings rue, rather than niy •judgment ’ ‘No apologies are necessary,’ she said with a smile and shy glance into his hand some, brown eyes, ‘for I was expecting you. Shall I sing to you ? ’ she continued; ‘or have you come expressly for another chat? ’ ‘Expressly for another chat.’ He re peated her light words sarcastically, but added in a softer strain, ‘I have come upon business, Jessie, so it' you can subdue your high spirits sufficieutty to listen I shall not detain you loßg.’ ‘Business,’ she repeated. ‘Ah, that sounds refreshing. What can it be ? Shall I hem another set of handkerchiefs for you, or paiut your picture, or embroider another smoking-cap, or write a sonnet to your moustache ? Which is it, Charley ? You know the versatility of my talents, so you needn't be afraid to urge your deniauds upon them.' Charley Anderson listened until she had finished—not patiently or even lutentiy but he did not interrupt her by word or look. He was a handsome man with bruwu eyes and hair and brown, curiitig whiskers, which set off his glowing complexion ad mirably. Jessie thought so, too, as he sat at her side looking straight into the fire, not moodily, nor sullenly as any other man would have done under the circnmstauces, but sorrowfully. Jessie was a beauty, and alas! something of a coquette, and Char ley heartily endorsed the former, and tried with all his might to disbelieve tho latter. ‘No,’ he said after awhile in answer to her queries, .‘that is not the nature of my business with you, Jessie, It is business of more importance than that. You know how long I have loved you, Jessie, and ’ ‘Certainly I do, Charley. Ever since 1 was a little girl in pinafores, I believe you said. You've told me a thousand times at least, but even such important items as that will sometimes slip the mind.' She glanced at tiim archly, but ho did not smile iu retire fl tt-vil'-s nu haul to be patient, for he had loved her so long and so well. ‘Yes, ever since you were a little girl,’ he continued gravely, ‘I have been your lover. Until four months ago I was uncertain whether that attachment was reciprocated or not, but at that time you confessed that it was, and consented to an engagement ol marriage between us. Siuee then that en gagement has been canceled at your 16- quest a number of times, but each time has been renewed at my earnest solicita tion. Yesterday again it was dis olved, and, to-night, as you see, lain back again. I have come, not to kneel to you nor sue as I hnve in times past, but to talk calm y with you, and accept your answ r as posi tive and final. This c rifling renders me unfit for anything. I cannot concentrate my thoughts sufficiently to attend to my business, and, in addition, your promises are too uncertain to admit of any hopes being built upon. This night our engage ment must be renewed never to be can celed, or hereafter we must walk apart. It remains with you to determine our future.’ Jessie did not reply. The roses in her oheeks paled a little, and her white hands elapsed each other more firmly, but she did not look into tho brown eyes bent so steadily upon her. Charley drew his watch from his pocket and continued : ‘lt is now eight o’clock The St. Louis train leaves here at 8:40, and I have made my arrangements to leave up on it. . It rests with you whether Igo or stay. If Igo 1 shall never trust myself to look upon your face again until you aie the wife of another man. If I stay, our engagement must be renewed, and our marriage eonsumated within a month. You have twenty minutes in which to decide.' He leaned over and clasped her hand— the hand upon which liis betrothal ring gleamed and sparkled like a star. ‘Decide, Jessie, for time is precious to me now, and remember, darling, for what reply my heart is yearning.’ She drew her hand from his—the rul ing passion was not to be quelled so easily—and looking saucily into his dark, sad, eager eyes, said with a light laugh : ‘ Well, Charley, while I am deciding i you can look over this new music that Mr. Zane sent me to day. It is beautiful, and so’— ‘But time is precioos, Jessie,’ he remon- 1 strated, ‘and yon are not thinking of the case I presented awhile ago. ’ ‘Oh yes I am Charley,’ she replied, do- 1 mnrely , any woman can think of two things at once and not half try.’ He could repress a smile, though Lis : heart was aching. 1 You have yet ten minutes, .Jessie,’ he said, again consulting his watch. She seated herself demurely at his side. ‘What is it I’ra to think about, Char ley?’ she asked gravely, ‘ Ob, yes,’ she continued, ‘I recollect now. You said something about going West, didn’t you? Or did I misunderstand you'"’ JESUP, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 18T5. •Youunderstood correctly.? He tried to be stern and dignified, but her waywardness had its effect. She bent her eyes upon the carpet, rest ed her glowing cheek in her pretty white hand, and remained apparently lost in thought But the spirit of mischief dauc ed like a sprite in her blue eyes. Charley again consulted his watch, clos ed it with an energetic snap, and gave a start which Jessie saw but iguored. He rose to his feet, and running his hand ner vously through his brown beard, exclaim ed in a voice whose emotion be could not conceal : ‘What have you to say to mo, Jessie? Shall I go or stay ? ’ She rose also, looked straight into hip eyes and replied with superb nonchalance: ‘After due deliberation, Charley, I have decided the momentous question for you. If I were you, 1 would go West. But re member, if the Indians catch you, you must give them my address, so that if they sea!)) j-ou they can send me a lock of youf hair.’ He turned from her with a reproachful glance and left the room without a word. Ho paused in the hall to draw on his over coat and gloves, but she did not call him back. She arranged her musijsi closed piano, and went singing softly qp to her chamber. Before disrobing, slje drew from her bosom a locket containing his picture, and, gazing into the dark eyes raised so tenderly to meet her own, she ex claimed in a voice whose every accent ws love : T shall not be so bard on you again, Charley dear. I’ll capitulate tho very next time you ask me.’ •Where is father?’ asked Jessie as she and her mother sat at the breakfast table the next morning. • There was a tevribfo accident on the St. Louis road last night,’ was the reply, ‘and your father and several other physicians were telegraphed for.’ ‘An accident! ’ exclaimed Jessie in an guish, the remembrance of her uukindneas to Charley flashing like lightning upon her mind. ‘When? where? how did it happen ?’ ‘The messenger was so excited that I could gather no particulars. There was a collision, however, and many of the pas sengers were killed and wounded.’ ‘Oh, mother,’ sobbed Jessie, ‘Cbsr.ay Anderson was on that train. I drove , ’-a away by my folly and wickedness. -ijk-, how X loved him, mother ; ami übw Ur ho should bo dead or wounded, I can never, never he happy again.’ ■Perhaps he is among the snved,’ said Mrs. Roberts, consolingly. *We will at least hope so until we hear to the contrary. Your father is coming now ; perhaps he can tell us something of Charley.’ ‘Oh, father?’ exclaimed Jessie, the tears streaming from her eyes as she met him at the door, ‘ can you tell me anything of Churl y ? ’ ‘Why bless my soul! ’ exclaimed tho old doctor, ‘l’ve nothing to do with Charley.’ ‘But, father, he was on the train that was wrecked,’ she exclaimed in explanation. ‘Have you seen or heard of him ? ’ •Well, well, my little girl, that alters the case. But, Jessie,’ and he gathered her to his heart as if she was a child ‘if < barley was aboard that ill-fated train he is buried among the debris. lam going back in a few hours and will make enquires for him.’ A few hours! What a lifetime of misery could be compressed into a few hours Jes sie thought, as her aimless feet wandered into the cold, darkened parlor whence hut last nig it he whom she now mourned had gone forth so strong and yet so helpless, so brave and yet snch a coward •Oh, mother,’ she exclaimed, as a soft step entered the room and sought her side, ‘if Charley would but come back to me alive and well, I would marry him to morrow--to-day if he would but ask me agnin.’ ‘A pair of strong arms encircled her—a brown beard rested against her cheek. ‘I am here, my darling,’ a well-known voice exclaimed, ‘and I shall bold yon to your words.’ Jessie rallied in a moment. ‘But yon were not on the train,’ she ex claimed. ‘No,’ he answered gravely, ‘I was not. A kind providence was watching over me and keeping me from harm. I reached the de pot but a moment too late. As soon as I heard of the accident i came here expect ing to find you in ‘sackcloth and ashes,’ and lo! I am not disappointed. ’ He looked saucily into her eyes. ‘Bnt, stay, I will dispatch your father for the license and the minister, and will summon the neces sary witnesses and we will be married immediately. I'm afraid to trust you again, Jessie, and you know you said you would marry me to-day if I would ask you.’ ‘But you have not asked me yet, that I remember.' ‘I will, however.’ He put his hand be neath her chin and raised her face to his. ‘Jessie, will you be be my wife? ’ ‘Of course I will,' she answered. ‘l've intended to all the time ’ ‘And I shall claim the privilege of nam ing the day,’ he replied, ‘or force you to surrender now.' So he allowed her bnt a month in which to gather together all of those wonderful things which constitute a trou—eau, but Jessie declares yet that he took the ad vantage of her by frightening her into a capitulation. The Issue of Fractional Currency. The announcement that Secretary fristow has stopped the issue of tcn-cent fractional currency Is without founda tion. Since last March there has been ho issue of fifty-cent. fractional curren cy, the object being to rid the market (of the counterfeits of that denomination. As tar as possible the twenty-five, fif teen and tcn-cent notes have been fur nished. but the extent io which lialf ! dollar notes are circulated exceeds that iof the other three issues, being over | one-lialf of the entire amount of frac tional currency in circulation. When the redemption of the paper begins, or as the hnrd.money man of the treasury, Dr. Lluderman, director of the mints, expresses it, when they are ready to cremate the fractional currency, Hie plan will undoubtedly be to withdraw all the notes under fifty cents and re place them with subsidary coin. Mr Linderman, who lias traveled exten sively in Hie West, says that the demand for silver coin is very great. Not so much for its intiitisic value, but on ac count of its serviceableness, the frac tional currency in circulation in the West being literally shreds an 1 rags. Those living near large cities where new note can be readily obtained can not appreciate the want of something belter than paper currency. The gov ernment, however, lias made nearly two millions by the loss and destruc tion of fractional notes since the first issue was made.—Baltimore Sun. A Little Girl’s Reproof. An army officer, on returning home from camp-life, went to visit a relative, and, like some who imitate their asso ciates, lie indulged in profane language. A little girl walked out with him to his horse, and as he was talking to her In great glee, she gently said, — “I don't like to hear my cousin swear.” He replied, “I know, my dear, it is wrong." In tlie same mild tone she rejoined, “Well, then, if you know it is wrong, why do you do it? ” The captain confessed to a friend, ou relating the story. Hint, lie never felt a reproof so much as the one given by that little ciiitii. He had good reason to feel it, for lie deserved It. The old 1 verse says: ‘‘Maintain your rank, vulgarity dbpiae; To swear in neither brave, polite nor wise.” Recovery for Lightning-stroke. In his valuable work on “The Main tenance of Health,” I)r. Fotliergill has the following on resuscitation after lightning stroke : ‘Persons struck by lightning are not always dead when they appear to be so There are few recoveries from this state, because no means are tried to restore the sufferer. In the tropics there are many instances of persons, struck down by lightning, recovering after a heavy thunder-show er; and It would appear that cold affu sion to the body has a decided action in such eases. The injured can not be hnrmed by the free use of cold water, and if only an occasional recovery took place it would be well worth the pains bestowed. The persons so injured should have cold water poured or even dashed freely over them.” Suicide of a Lady on a Railroad Track. A lady, between twenty-five and thir ty years of age, arrived In Lebanon, Pa, Monday evening, and registered at the Lebanon V illey House, at the de pot, as Miss Lula Greene, of Philadel phia. At noon yesterday she started to walk down the Lebanon Valley Rail road. When about two miles from town she met a freight train. She wrapped her shawl around her and de liberately threw herself on the track. Her head was severed from the body. The intelligent jury has at last at traded the attention of the magazines. Scribner’s says: “The simple truth is. that the jury system is outlived and might to be outlawed, it, does not help tlie cause of law and justice, end ought to be kicked out of Hie way. It is op pressive to tlie juror, it is anomalous in our system of government, it makes the uncertainty of law still more tin- ! certain. It is expensive, and It is utterly unnecessary. There Is nothing sacred about it. To be tried by a man's peerg it not half so good a thing us to be tried by a man's intellectual and moral superiors. ’’ - ♦ -y * ■■■———- - The ignorance of foreigners Is some thing superb.

Dumas says , the Virginia coon is as large as a year- i ling calf. ‘Sekretz,’ say* Josh Billings, 'is a bad investment—if you pass it you loze the principal; and If you keep it, yon loze the interest.' New York’s New Horse Disease. A phenomenon In the disease of horses made its appearance iu this city on Wednesday last It is not the epizoot, although like it In many respects re spects. It is of milder form, and tem porary in its attacks. The symtoms arc of a mild cough, accompanied at times by inflamation of the tliroat, frequent sneezing, and occasionally a discharge at the nose. With few exceptions its victims all eat well and work without interruption. Every car and stage line has felt its influence, and it is safe to say that not one hundred horses in tlie city have escaped. The race horses at Boston and elsewhere arc suffering from it, and the Messrs. Johnson Broth ers, proprietors of Fleetwood Park, have withdrawn their purses on ac count of it. All the stock at their park have been attacked by it. Fifteen hun dred out of two thousand horses hi the Thiid avenue stables were coughing aud sneezing on Friday last, Ten thou sand horses among the stage and car lines alone are sufftring front it. On Saturday last tlie truck horses iu Hobo ken were unable to work on account of it. Superintendent Bidgood, of the Sixth avenue line of cars, Rays: “It came like a Hash of lightning, striking every ho v se in the city, and as quickly passed away, leaving its effects behind it.’’ All seem to think it is short lived, the horses having improved since Sat urday.— [N. Y. Sun, Hist. The Two Men and the Boar. Two men hail to go through a wood. One of them was short and stout, ami one was tall and slim. “I could not run fust orclimb well" said the stout one; “if a foe, man or boast, came on me I should hnve to stand my ground.’’ „Hnvc no fear," said the slim man. “I can run fast and climb well, but still it is my rulo to stand my ground—l would fight for you to the last. I fear no mnu or beast, not I. Hark, what is that noise. ?’> "I am sure," said the short man, ‘‘that it is tlie growl of a bear ; I know ttiero are boar in those woods.” The bear was soon in sight. The tall man ran a short distance and bid in a tree. The short man fell fiat on his fare on tlie ground and held his breath. The bear came to him, smelt him and thought he was dead. Bo lie left him, nnd with a gruff growl or two went on his way. When tlie bear was out of sight the short man arose from tho ground, and the tall manes mo down from the tree. “Wbat did tho benst say to you, my friend ?" said tho tall man to the short one. ‘‘l saw him put his mouth close to your ear.” “He told me," said the short man, “to pnt no trust in one who brags in the way you do, for those who boast so much arc not brave.” The Test of Love. ne was such a nice looking young man, and, it being Sunday evening, too, the waiter girls at the hotel decided among themselves that he would not touch the dish of raw onions placed at Ids left hand. He did hesitate, but only for a moment. Piece after piece was lifted to his mouth and disposed of, and as he lifted the last one, shook the vin egar off, earefuliy wrapped it iri his silk haukerctilef, they heard him solllo quize: “I believe that Gertrude loves me. She acts as If she dhl, and actions speak louder than words. To-night I shall test her love. Jl lam the cherished of her heart she sill not refuse to taste ol this oc. lon, so that my breath shall not be perceivable. If she is cold and fickle I will rush from her fatther's mansion and never love again!” -—mrnrnmm •• y -am- Mr. George Hillard, of Boston, gives us words of gold in the following extract: *'l confess," says he, “that increasing years brings with them an increasing respect for men who do not succeed in life, as ; those words nro commonly used. Heaven ! has been said to be a place for those who do not succeed upon earth , and it is surely true that celestial graces do not best thrive and bloom in the blaze ot worldly prosperity. 11l success sometimes arises from a superabundance of qualities in themselves good—from a conscience too sensitive, a taste too fastidious, a self forgetfulness too romantic, a modesty too retiring. I do not go so far as to say with a living poet that ths world knows nothing of its greatest men, buttherc are forms of greatness, or at least of excel lence, which ‘ die snd make no sign ;’ there are martyrs that miss the palm but Dot the stake ; heroes without the lau ral, and ronquerers without the crown.” A Detroiter was called as a witness ' in a ease before one of the Justices yes terday. and when the oatli was admin- , istered he raised botli hands and said : j I shall spoke nodding* what ain’t drew if I never hope to die so quick as a min- ' ute!” He was So earnest and solemn that the lawyers iet him alone.—[De troit Free Pres*.

A cockney tourist met a Scotch lassie going barefoot toward Glasgow. “Las sie,’’ said lie, “I should like to know if all tlie people in these parts go bare foot?” “Part of ’em do, and the rear of 'em mind their own business,” was the rather settling reply. “Jessie, wiiat was Toe’s arm doing round your waist when you were at tho front gate last night?” asked a preco cious boy of his sister. “HU arm wasn't round my waist; I won a belt from him, and he was taking my meas ure,” replied the indignant young lady.
