A HUSBAND’S SILVER WEDDI.MJ
ADDRESS.
Dear sweet associate of my earlier years.
Sharer with mo in ail life's joys and tears,
I’m gazing on you now with moistening eyes.
As memory brings its “advents and “good
byes."
With glad anticipations from the start.
We joyous stepp’d to music of the heart
Each to the other, with desire to bless.
Yielding what either one held in excess.
My darhug sweetheart ! blessed little wife,
A wave of music, rippling through my life,
A joyous sunbeam, shining without stint.
Edging life's darkest clouds with rainbow tint,
A glistening dew-drop, on life s sweetest rose,
A Balm of (illead for its bitterest woes.
Y»ur gentle, loving ways subdued my will,
You've always ruled me and you rule me still,
Bo long as you this loving sway maintain
I II gladsome sing and joyous clank my chain,
A loving bondage ! may 'it never end.
Earth's trials ne’er produced a truer friend.
j f'irrt land Leader.
TEARS.
BY FATHER RYAN.
Tears that trickle down her eyes,
They do not fall to earth and dry ;
They soar like angels to the skies,
And like the angels cannot die.
For oh! our immortality
Flows through each tear, sounds in each sigh.
What waves of tears surge o’er the deep
Os sorrows in our restless souls !
And thev are strong, not weak, who weep,
These drops from out the sea that rolls
Within their heart forevermore :
Without a depth—without a s.hore!
But ah. the tears that are not wept—
The tears that never outward fall
The tears that grief for years has kept
Within us they are best of all —
The team our eyes shall never know,
And deeper than the tears that flow.
Each night, upon earth's flowers below,
The dew comes down from dirkest skies,
And every night our team of woe
(to up. like dews, to i'araihse.
To keep in bloom and make more fair
The 11 jwers of crowns we yet shall wear.
For ah the surest way to God
Is m> the lonely stream of tears
That flow, when bending ’neath the rod,
And till the tide of our past years.
On laughter’s billows hearts are tossed—
On waves of tears no heart is lost.
Flow on. ye tears ! and bear me home!
Flow oh. ye tears of deepest woe!
Flow on, ye"tears, that are but foam,
Os deeper w'aves that will now flow!
A little while I reach the shore
Where tears flow not— forevermore.
WEARY OF LIFE.
Editor fit. Louis HepMiean:
In looking over some manuscript pieces of
poetry, I found the following As it is a mas
terpiece, and 1. have never seen it in print, 1
take the liberty of sending it to yon for your
Sunday paper.
llespectfully yours. A Scbsobibeb.
Weary of life and weary of sin,
The ceaseless strife and wordly din,
Struggling ever to a t a part,
Veiling niv soul and shrouding mV heart,
Hating the world and longing to be
Alone at rest -untrammelled and free,
Struggling over in endless strife
Father in Heaven, I’m weary of 'life !
Weary of life that once was so fair,
Tint precious gem. that jewel rare ;
Life with its changing sunny hours,
Its golden smiles, anil wealth of tlowors :
Life of my infant, childish years.
With its rippling smiles, anil sparkling tears.
Years that know naught of my anger or strife,
Father m Heaven, I’m weary of life !
Weary of life that once was so bright,
With its rainbow lines of dazzling light
The light of my girlhood’s early days,
With the gorgeous glare of its noonday blaze,
Ah ! deeming mv life but one endless day,
Nor counting this hours that passed away.
Hours with joy and pleasures once rife,
Yet, Father in’ Heaven, I'm weary of life !
Weary of life, its sin, and its crime.
Its poisoned breath, and noisome slime.
Oh sin! oh crime ! how bitter to taste
The tempting fruit of thv desert waste !
'l'llat fruit so fair and bright to the eye,
On the lips will fade and in ashes die,
Filling the heart with YVoe and strife
’Till, Father in Heaven, I'm weary of life!
Weary of life that has grown so dark—
Fining away in this prisoned ark,
Weary, dear Lord, as the captive dovo
Longing to soar to the realms above,
Becking some spot where my foot may rest.
From the deluge of sin in the human breast,
Battling ever in care and strife.
Father in Heaven, I'm wo ary of life.
Woary of life, shall one so lost,
Ho tempest driven, so wildly tossed,
Hare to weep as a Magdalene wept,
When in lonely sorrow a sinner slio crept,
And knelt at Thy feet in tears and sighs,
And sought but a glance of Thy sacred eyes,
The glanco that dispelled all woe and strife,
When her heart was weary and sick of life.
Weary of life, but ah. in Thy love,
1 looked for a truer life above.
The life that fades not, nor passes away ;
The dawning sun of eternal day,
The morning that breaks o’er the tempest's
wavo.
And shines through the gloom of the yawning
grave,
Cheering us on, through woo and strife,
With the lasting joys of a brighter life.
Weary of life and woary of sin,
This worldly strife, and worldly din,
Looking in hope for the promised land,
Watching the veil in its golden strand,
Watching that veil so mystic and bright,
Shrouding its shores from my yearning sight,
Watching the hand that shall draw it away,
Giving me life, and endless day.
NO SECT IN HEAVEN.
Talking of north till lalo one eve,
Os the various (lootlines the saints helioTO,
That night I stood in a troubled dream
By the sido of a darkly (lowing stream.
When a “Churchman” down to the river came;
When 1 hoard a strange voice call his name :
“Good Father, stop when you cross this tide.
You must leave your robes on the other side.”
“I'm bound for Heaven, and when I'm there,
I shall want my Hook of Common I’rayer ;
And though 1 put on a starry crown,
1 shall fool quite lost without my gown.”
Then be fixed bis eyes on the shining track,
lint bis gown was heavy and belli him back.
And the poor old Father tried in vain
A single step in the flood to gain.
1 saw him again on the other side,
Eut bis silk gown floated on the tide ;
And no oho asked, in that blissful spot,
Whether lie belonged to the Church or not.
Then down to the river a Quaker strayed,
His dress of sombre line was made ;
“Mv coat and hat must bo all of gray,
I cannot go any other way."
Thon he buttoned his coat straight up to his
chin.
And straigiitly. solemnly waded in :
And bis broad-brimmed bat ho pull'd down
tight
Over his forehead so cold and white.
But a strong wind carried away liis bat,
A moment lie silently sighed over that.
And then as he gaz’d to the farther shore,
The coat slipped off and was seen no more.
As he entered Heaven his suit of gray
Went quietly sailing away—away.
And none of the angels question’d him
About the width of his beaver's brim.
Next came Hr. Watts, with a bundle of l’salms.
Tied uieelv up in bis aged arms.
And hymns as many, a very wise thing.
That the people in Heaven, “all round," might
sing.
Eut I thought that he heav'd an anxious sigh
As he saw that the river ran broad and high.
And look'd rather surpris’d as one by one.
The l’salms and Hymns in the waves went
down.
A< and after him with bis MSS..
Came Wesley, the pattern of godliness :
Eut he cried. ' Hear me. w hat shall I do ?
This water has soaked them thro' anil
through.”
And there on the river, far and wide,
Away they went on tire swollen tide.
And the saint, astonish'd, pass’d through alone.
Without his manuscript, up to the throne.
Then gravely walking, two saints by name,
Hewn to the stream together came.
Eut as they stopp'd at the rivet's brink
I saw one saint from the other shrink.
“Sprinkled or plung’d ? may 1 ask you, friend.
How you attain'd to life's great end ?"
"Thus, with a few drops on my brow,”
“Eut 1 have been dipp'd as you see me now.
“And really l think it will hardly do.
As I'm ‘Close Communion.’ to cross with you ;
You're bound. 1 know.for the realms of bliss.
But you must go that way, and I'll go this."
Then straightway plunging with all bis might.
Away to the left, his friend to the right—
Afar they went from this world of sin,
Eut at last logt'thtT they enter'd in.
And now the river was rolling on
A Presbyterian Church went down :
Os women there seem’d an immur'rabie throng.
Eut the men I could count as they pass'd along.
And concerning the road they could never
agree.
Tire old or the r« 'r way which could it be :
Nor even a moment paus'd to think.
That both would lead to the river's brink.
And a sound of manu ring long and loud,
Came up from among the moving crowd,
“You're in the old way. I'm in the new;
That is the fob* . and this is the /rue."
Or. 'T'ui in the old way. you're in the new ;
That is the false, and this is the true."
But though the brethren all seem'd to speak ;
Modest the sisters w alk'd, and meek.
And if ever one of them chanc'd to sa v
What troubles she met with on the way.
How she long'd to pass to the other side.
Nor fear'd to cross o'er the swelling tide,
A voice arose from the brethren then—
“ Let no one speak but the holy men ;
“For have ye not heard the words of Paul—
Oh.. let the women keep silence all!”
I watched them all in my eunoue dream.
Till they stood by the borders of the stream ;
Then. Just as I thought, the two ways met.
But all the br. ihreu were talking vet :
And would talk on. till the heaving tide
Carried them over side by side.
Ride by side, for the way was one.
The toilsome journey of life was done.
And all who in ' linst. the Saviour, died,
Came out alike on the other side.
No forms, or crosses, or books had they,
No gowns of silk dr suits of gray ;
No creeds to guide them, or MBB.,
Eut all had on Christ's righteousness.
THE KMFE AT WORK.
THREE STABS IN' THE DARK. j
A While Man Seriously Wounded—A ;
Negro Cat in the Hack and Killed—
A " Man and Brother” in Hambmg
Wounded—More Blood and More Ex
citement.
Augusta seems destined to take the
lend for the time in sanguinary trage
dies, This morning we record three
cutting affairs, in one of which a negro
man lost his life, while in another a
young white man was dangerously
wounded.
About twelve months since a difficulty
occurred near the Augusta Factory, in
this city, between two lads named re
spectively Alvin E. Awtry and Charles
Burns, both then about nineteen
years of age. Burns, who was
strong and powerful, assaulted Awtry,
a small and delicate youth, and was se
verely cut by the latter. The case was
settled without a resort to law, bnt
Awtry, fearing a repetition of the
trouble, determined to
Leave the City
And actually did so, going some miles
into the country, where he remained
until about a month ago, when he re
turned and procured employment at the
Factory. A short time after this he was
prostrated by an attack of bilious fever.
He was attended by Dr. M. M. Tesser,
and about ten days ago was pronounced
cured. He was still very weak, but re
sumed work at the Factory. Last Sun
day evening, just about dark, lie was
walking on Marburv street, near the
Factory, and as he saw that a heavy
rain was about to fall, proceeded very
fast in order to get to Ir.s boarding
house before the storm commenced. He
heard someone walking at an equally
rapid pace behind him, but paid no par
ticular attention to the circumstance.
Just as he reached the bridge across the
canal at the Factory gates, he felt a knife
Enter His Back,
And turning suddenly perceived Burns,
with his hand, which held a knife up
raised, in the act of striking a second
time. Awtry tried to defend himself
with his umbrella, bnt as he was in a
very weak condition on account of his
recent illness, was nntiable to do so
and Burns struck him again and again.
Awtry then ran and was pursued by
Burns, who would probably have killed
him on the spot but wis prevented by
another young man named Lem Britton,
who came up at that time and seized
him. Awtry was carried to his brother’s
house, on Marburv street, between
D’Antignac and Miller streets. Dr.
Tesser was sent for and reached the
wounded man about eight o’clock. On
examination he found that there were
four wounds on Awtry’s person. The
most serious was just under the point
of the left shoulder blade, the kuife, an
ordinary pocket knife, having penetra
ted the left lung. Two other wounds
were also
In the Back,
But were of a less serious character.
The fourth wound was in the left hand
and was received while Awtry was en
deavoring to ward off the blows. The
left side of Awtry’s pants, near the hip
joint, was slashed by the knife. Dr.
Tesser did all that, was possible for the
wounded man, expressing, however, but
little hope of his ultimate recovery.
Yesterday, about one o’clock, we call
ed at Mr. lil. Awtry’s house, and had an
interview with Alvin Awtry, the wound
ed man. He seemed to be very weak,
and suffering consid' rally, but gave sub
tantially the particulars narrated above.
He also stated that he had understood
since lie was stabbed that a young man,
named Case Leppard, had been egging
on Burns to the commission of the
deed, and had several times told him
that he ought to kill Awtry. Burns*
after the stabbing,
Escaped,
And had not been caught up to a late
hour last evening. Leppard was arrest
ed as an accessory, and required to give
a bond of fifteen hundred dollars for his
appearance at a preliminary examina
tion, Failing to give the bond, ho was
committed to jail.
Burns was an employee of Messrs.
.Tno. M. Clark k Sons, and Leppard of
Messrs. Geo. T. Jackson & Cos.
A Negro Killed.
About six o’clock, Sunday evening, a
negro man named William Simmons,
while in an intoxicated condition, walk
ed into the house of an old negro woman
named Ellen Key, ou Corduroy Alley,
and fell on a chair. The old woman,
who was very much frightened by the
intrusion, endeavored to persuade him
to leave, but in vain. Simmons cursed
and talked in a most outrageous manner.
The old woman finally shut up her two
rooms and went out to cook supper for
heremployer, who lives on Greene street,.
She returned about eight o’clock and
found Simmons still at her house. She
tried again to persuade him to go away,
when he threatened to knock her down
with a chair. The old woman then went
out to look for a policeman, but could
not find one. Policeman Allen, who
was on duty on that beat, had only a few
minutes previously arrested a violator
of the city ordinances and carried him
to the guard house, and was therefore
not on the beat when the woman went
out. The nearest beat was a long dis
tance off, so that it was by no means the
fault of tho police that Ellen was unable
to find an officer in the neighborhood.
It was raining hard and the noise of a
stick, the usual call, could not have
been heard by the policeman ou the next
beat..
Ellen finally reached the store of Mr.
L. Donally, at the corner of Mclntosh
and Calhoun streets, and stated her
grievances. A white man named Edward
Owens, who was sitting in tho fit ore,
said
“Aunty, I'll Assist You,”
And immediately proceeded with the
old. woman to her house. He caught
hold of Simmons and started towards
the front door with him, but Simmons
jerked away and ran back. By advice of
the old woman, Owens then started to
pull Simmons out the back door. Ellen
handed Simmons’ hat to him, when lie
(Simmons) struck her a severe blow.
Owens finally got him out and the old
woman shut the door. Owens then
started off down the alley with Sim
mons, with the intention of delivering
him up to a policeman or carrying him
to the guard house. Simmons resisted
and bit Owens, who finally stabbed him
iu the back with a pocket knife. Sim
mons fell and Owens proceeded to the
City Hall, stated the circumstances to
Chief Christian and gave himself up.
He said that lie didn’t think the negro
was hurt much. Lieut. Prather then
went, with Owens to the spot where Sim
mons was lying and found that he
Was Dead.
Lieut. Prather thereupon had the body
carried to the house of the deceased, in
the rear of the residence on the corner
of Jones and Gumming streets. Owens
was lodged iu jail.
Yesterday morning a jury was empan
nelled, with J. L. Maxwell as foreman,
ami Coronor Cox proceeded to hold an
inquest over the body of the deceased.
The following is the evidence iu full :
Dr. M. J. Jones sworn—l examined
body of deceased; found two wounds on
his back, between his shoulder blades,
produced by a sharp instrument, possi
bly a knife; one of the wo&nds the
knife entered the spinal column, injuring
the spinal marrow; the other was about
an inch and a half lower and passed j
into the left lung; the wounds were suffi- j
cient to eaus£ death.
E. I>. Purcell sworn—About twenty j
minutes past 8 o’clock last evening a
m in halloed police and watch in Cordu- ’
rov Alley; a party of two came along, ;
one of which called on me to assist him !
to carry a man to a policeman or
to the Court House. I heard them qnar- j
rel b-'fore my doo ; oue remarked, ‘‘lf .
you bite me again I’ll put a hole through
you;" I went in and put on my boots
and coat, and came out; the party was
then hallowing watch and prolice; I got
out of my house and found a colored
man lying dead about tea or twelve feet
from mv fence; prrevious to the killing
a colored woman in the alley was hunt-!
ing for a policeman: I concluded to as
sist the man to arrest the other party;
the negro that was killed I recognized j
as Win. Simmons; prarty halloed for j
help several times before they came to
my house.
Ellen Key, colored, sworn—l was at ’
mv house, near Trinity Church, Sunday
evening; my little girl said : “Here comes
a drunken man in the door;” I came ont
in the passage, and just as I got ont
there Wm. Simmons fell on a chair; I
said. “Simmons, what's the matter with
you ?” He said, “Is it any of your damn
business?'’ I said, “This is no rowdy
house;” he went on talking all sorts of
bad language; then he rose and fell in
the passage; I went to the gate and call
ed Miss Charity Wishen from across the
street and told her about it; it was six
o’clock when he came to my house; I
locked up my two rooms and went off:
went back about 8 o'clock; Simmons was
still there; I went to him and told him
to go; he said he wouldn’t go, and said
he would take np a chair and burst me
open with it; I told him again to go;
he kept on using bad words ; I said,
“If yon don’t go I'll get a police-
I man I went out and hunted for a po
| liceman; couldn t ffnd one ; I went to
i Mr. Donally’s, and told him about it; a
! white man jumped np and said, “Aun
! ty, I'll assist you;” he went to my house
with me: he said, “Hello, fellow;’ Wil
liam -aid, “Hello, it is;” he jerked Wil
liam up, and got him nearly to the front
door; Wiliam jerked away from him and
got nearly to the back door; I reached
to get William’s hat when he (William)
struck me; the gentleman got William
down the back stops, and I locked the
door; I didn’t see the killing; Simmons |
was a man of bad character;, man told j
Simmons lie would get a policeman;:
white man went to my house simply to
assist me, as I had nobody to help me:
he didn’t seem to know Simmons or to
have anything against him.
A. D. Picquet sworn—l was sitting in
Court House last night about a quarter
past nine o’clock, when a young man
named Edward Owens came iu police
office ami stated that some colored
women came to a house where he was
and said they couldn't find a policeman
and desired someone to go and take a
man who was acting disorderly out of
their house; he did so; started to the
Court House with him, endeavoring all
the time to get the assistance of the
police; that whilst the man was biting
iiim he cut him with a knife; the man
then fell down and he left him lying
there; he also stated that he didn’t cut
him hard and didn’t believe him much
hurt; he then went off with Lieut. Pra
ther to find the man. Owens was after
wards turned over to a policeman.
Edward Owens, defendant, said, “ I
didn’t know Simmons; I was called on
bv a colored woman to take a man from
her house; I cut him with a knife, and
afterwards gave myself up to the police
authorities.”
The jury, after consultation, returned
the following verdict :
“ We, the jury, find that the deceased,
William Simmons, came to his death
from a wound inflicted by a knife in the
hands of Edward Owens, such killing
being, in our opinion, justifiable homi
cide.”
Previous to thefindingof the verdict the
Coroner charged thejury under the code
of Georgia, specifying their duties. Two
of the jury, including the foreman, were
in favor of returning a verdict simply
that the deceased came to his death
from a kuife in the hands of Edward
Owens, without giving any opinion as to
the grade of homicide, but in this they
were overruled by the remainder of the
jury, and seven being sufficient under
the law to make np a verdict, it was re
turned in accordance with the wishes
of the majority. Under the verdict the
Coroner was obliged to discharge the
prisoner.
Simmons was an employee of Mr.
Philip McCan. He was convicted some
months since of larceny, and sentenced
to work twelve months in the chain
gang, but it being afterward shown that
lie was suffering with delirium tremens
at the time the theft was committed, his
sentence was remitted.
Owens is a fireman on the Port
Railroad. He was under the influence
of liquor at the time tlie stubbing took
place. He went out last night on his
regular trip.
Across the River.
Last Saturday niglit a colored man
named Preston Simms, living in Augus
ta, went over to Hamburg to see some
friends. He remained until about two
o’clock, and on leaving the house was
accosted b.y a negro youth, about nine
teeu years of age, named Thomas Carter,
who said, “What are you doing over
here, you d—n Georgia nigger,” or
worts to that effect. He then stabbed
him twice in the back with a knife. Two
friends of Simms—Hamp and Harry
Mays—caught hold of Carter, asking
him what lie meant by cutting Simms,
and called for the police. Several of
the colored policemen came up and took
charge of Carter Simms then managed
to stagger across the bridge to Augusta
and was then conducted to liis house in
Robertson’s alley by a policeman. His
wounds, though painful, are not consid
ered to be fatal. The most serious en
tered the kidneys.
A RAILROAD SMASH.
Whoever lias traveled much or little
by railroad knows how the faces of
his fellow travelers interest him, how
in the absence of anything to occupy
his mind he will study them, trying to
imagine the character and history of its
owner. Bucli was the case with Charley
Reymart, who was on his way to
Chicago from New York. In the next
seat in front of his sat a girl whose
beauty would have attracted his. atten
tion anywhere ; but here he studied her
youthful, perfect features, her dark,
luminous eyes, her golden brown hair,
and her perfectly-rounded neck and
shoulders until she seemed perfection to
liis enraptured vision. Drinking in vis
ually all these things, ho fell into a kind
of day-dream, of which the fair creature
was the heroine and matrimony the
climax.
Suddenly he was aroused from his
revery by a screech of the locomotive
whistle, a terrible crash, and a sensa
tion of being violently thrown forward
into the debris of the smashed car. As
soon as he had recovered from the first
shock, he realized the position. A vio
lent collision had piled the train in a
confused mass, and he was buried be
neath it. It was dark, and as he felt
about with his hands he found that he
was, although uninjured and able to
move a little, completely wedged ill by
the wreck of a car. His baud, in grop
ing, came in contact with another hand,
and as it clasped his in its trembling,
scared grasp, he knew it to be the soft
small hand of a woman. It clung to
his tenaciously, as if its owner felt safe
ty in the contact.
“Are von hurt?” asked Reymart.
“No, I think not. At least I feel ne
pain.”
The voice was low and sweet. although
its tone attested her agony of fright. .
“Can you move your body freely ?”
questioned Reymart.
“Yes,” she replied, “but I have no
space to move in much. Do you think
we’ll ever get out ahve ?”
“Almost certainly so,” he said, with
an assurance of unconcern that he
scarcely felt. *‘lt may require some
little time for them to remove the
wreck, but I think we have little danger
to '--ar, having escaped the first shock of
the colli."' 011 - Have you any eompau
ions on the tra.' n ’
“No, lam alone.” . ..
The thought that she w'5S the beauti
ful girl who had occupied the seat in
front of him made his heart bound in
somuch as the soft little hand that
clasped his had been joined by its mate,
and both clung with a nervous pressure
that made liis blood tingle, even amidst
the surroundings.
Already the sound of vigorously ap
plied axes began to mingle with the
groans of the less fortunate passengers,
and Reymart knew that the wreck was
being removed as rapidly as possible.
Yet it seemed an age before they drew
near his vicinity. He shouted to them,
and they worked slowly in his direction.
After a while a ray of light streamed in,
and fell upon the face of his companion.
His conjecture was correct —he saw the
admired features of the beautiful pas
senger.
A few minutes later and they were
both lifted out uninjured, save by a few
unimportant scratches and bruises.
Reymart led his fair companion to a
station, which was but a few yards dis
tant from the scene of the accident, and
found her as comfortable a seat as pos
sible. The other rooms were half filled
with wounded, and a train was momenta
rily expected to convey them to the near
est city, which was Buffalo. Very soon
it came.
“I presume we had better take this
train,” said Reymart.
“ If you think best,” replied the lady.
He was flattered by her deference to
his judgment, and politely escorted her
to a seat iu the train.
“I suppose it would be useless to at
tempt to learn the safety of your bag
gage,” he said, when they were seated.
“I had none,” she said; “my journey
was not a very long one. I live in Cleve
land, and have been on a day’s visit to
some relatives.”
“ And my baggage,” he added, laugh
ing, “is not bulky, although tolerably
valuable. I carry it all in my breast
pocket, and it consists of several thou
sand dollars in bills, which I was taking ■
to Chicago.”
The ride to Buffalo was not long, and
the strangely introduced pair talked
glibly. Before they reached that city
Revriiart had been informed by his fair
companion that her name was Lydia Ma
plesou, and that her father was a clergy
man in Cleveland. In conversation her
delicate beauty was lighted up with the
radiance of intelligence, and he was en
tranced under the spell of her presence
by the casual touch of her hand—by
the pure warm breath that fell upon his
cheek.
The train had been sent especially to
bring the passengers of the wrecked
train, and it.went no further than Buf
falo. They conld go no further before
morning, and the railroad officials had
them conveyed to a hotel.
“Good night,” said Raymart, as he
pressed the girl’s hand, as they parted
in the hotel parlor; “it is now 10 o’clock,
and we are to take an early train in the
morning. I hope to see you fully re
covered from the effects of the excite
ment of the accident when we meet at
breakfast.”
“Good night,” she replied, “and many
thanks for your kindness.”
Reymart went to bed and tried to
sleep"; but for a long time was unsuc
cessful. His mind was full of Miss
Mapleson, and when he did fall asleep
it was only to dream of her.
And how was it with Miss Mapleson ?
She went to her room, and without un
dressing laid down on the bed. She
was soon asleep, and soundly so. to all
appearances, until daylight. Then she
awoke with a start, rubbed her eyes, sat
up in hed, and looked at her watch.
Just then there was a rap at the door,
and a waiter informed her that passen
gers for the early Western train must
get up for breakfast. Miss Mapleson
arose, smoothed out her traveling dress,
washed her face and hands, dressed her
hair, and looked lovelier than ever with [
the flush of early rising. She met Ray- j
mart at the dining room door, and they
took their seats at the table.
“And have yon quite recovered?”
Reymart asked.
“Indeed, I am afraid not,” she re
plied, with a faint smile ; “I am really
ill this morning, and fear you will have
to leave me here another day.”
“Leave you !” he said warmly; “you
have no friends here?”
“No; but doubtless I shall get kind
attention heie in the hotel, and I may be j
able to go on by to-morrow. I can tele
graph to my father, too, and he can :
come for me.”
“A day or two will make no difference i
with me,” he said, “and, if you will al- i
low me, I will remain.”
She was silent, and he feared he had j
presumed too far.
“My motives are honest,” pleaded the
poor fellow. “I only wish to be of ser
vice to you.”
“I believe you,” she answered, “and
only feared that your politeness had led i
you to offer too much. I shall be very j
grateful, and my father, too, will scarce- j
ly know how to thank you.”
She could eat nothing; her head
ached, slie said, and was dizzy. Ray
mart aided her to her room, and she lav
down on the bed f.gain.
“O, it’s nothing serious,” she said,
sweetly, in answer to his apprehensive
looks; “and excitement throws me into
just such attacks, and they never last
long.”
“Shall I get a doctor ?”
“O, no; I never could take any medi
cine—it’s too nasty—and I get well quick
without it. ”
“Shall I telegraph to your father ?”
“If you please.”
She wrote a message herself on a page
from Reymart’s memorandum book, and
he went out to send it. When he had
gone she rang the bell, and a boy an
swered her summons.
“Take this to a druggist’s,” she said,
writing an order iu the form of a physi
cian’s prescription, “ and bring back
what it calls for.”
After the lapse of only a few minutes
the boy returned, and handed her a small
vial. Soon after Reymart, too, re
turned.
“I have sent the message,” he said,
“and now, I suppose, I can serve you
best by going away, and letting you
sleep ; bnt you can send for me if you
want anything during the day.”
“No, don’t go,” she said, gently de
taining him, “ I couldn’t sleep, and
should be frightfully lonesome if left
alone. Stay and talk to me, please.”
The task was by no means an irksome
one to the infatuated young man. The
forenoon passed before he scarcely
knew it, so agreeable was his enslaver’s
society, so piquant her conversation, so
pure, childish and graceful her manner.
At noon, at his urging, she ate a slight
meal of toast and tea, and announced
that she felt much better. He proposed
a ride, urging that the air would improve
her, and she consented.
“I’ll go to a livery stable and select
tho best available beast,” he said, jocose
ly; “but don’t expect too much.”
While he was gone she arose, brushed,
her hair, which she had allowed to flow
over the pillow, and put on her cloak
and hat. Reymart found her ready
when he returned, and with natural
pride ho helped his attractive charge in
to the carriage.
The day was bright and warm, and
the way which he took—a shaded road
leading into the country—most pictu
resque. With his lovely companion
lightly touching his side, with her voice
thrilling him, with her eyes looking
shyly into his, is it necessary to state
that Reymart enjoyed the ride ? They
talked of the fields and the farm houses
which they passed, of themselves, of
their like's and dislikes—while the
hours flew by almost unnoticed. Twi
light settled down upon them, aud un
der its cover Reymart drew the girl to
his breast, and told in impassioned
words his sudden but overpowering love
for her.
“I know that this is precipitate,” he
pleaded, “ and, perhaps, foolishly rash,
but I must speak now or risk losing you
forever. We might never meet again,
and I should carry through life the
words which I had neglected to speak.”
Miss Mapleson allowed him to hold
her in his arms, while her fair head
drooped oil his breast, while her hand
went to her pocket, and produced the
vial for which she had sent the boy in
the morning. Deftly, and unperceived
by her companion, she poured the con
tents upon her handkerchief.
It was chloroform!
With the saturated handkerchief in
her hand, she gently 'olded her arms
around lieymart’s nee.’ bringing the
chloroform close to his month and nos
trils. So blinded was he by his passion,
so enraptured by her embrace, that he
did not realize the presence of the pun
gent odor of the drug until it had par
tially stupefied him. Then, bewildered
by the strange torpor that was stealing
over him, he strove feebly to push the
handkerchief from his face. But she
held it closer now, throwing herself ou
him, and pressing it to his mouth and
nose. He lost consciousness, and his
head fell back listlessly.
The demure Miss Mapleson showed no
signs of sickness or indecision. The
road was dark and deserted, but she
knew that the work must be done quick
ly. Her soft, white hands went rapidly
to his pockets, abstracting his money—
the thousands which lie had unsuspeet
edly tokl her of—and a fine gold watch.
Then she pulled his limp body to the
side of the carriage, and tumbled it out
into the road. The horse had been
walking slowly during all this; but now
she seized the reins, applied the whip,
aud went spinning towards the city.
Arriving at a quiet street, she got out,
left tho horse and vehicle standing, and
walked quickly away. An hour later
she took a train for New York.
That dose of chloroform cost Charley
Reymart deeply, but it effectually cured
him of romance. He managed, by a
hard struggle, to replace the stolen
money, anil never breathed of his ad
venture to a living soul. Two years
later chance led him into a criminal
court in New York city. A young and
beautiful woman had just been con
victed of shop-lifting, ami sentenced to
a long term of imprisonment in the
penitentiary. It was Miss Mapleson,
now Dora Matthews.
“And what is her real name ?” asked
Reymart of ail old detective, who sat by
his side.
“Why, bless you,” was the reply,
“she’s got a dozen names, and nobody
knows which is the real one.”
“Is she an old offender ?”
“Rather.”
“What is her peculiar line ?”
“Anything and everything. I’ve
known he? for ten years, and a quarter
of that time she’s been in prison. She’s
the smartest confidence woman that ever
breathed. She could swindle anybody,
and her beauty is her strong point.
“I believe you,” replied Charley Rey
mart.
CAPTURED BY SPAN ISII ROBBERS.
The Bligands of the Sierra Moreua.
Mr. Arthur Hasleden, an English gen
tleman interested in mining property in
Spain, writes the following letter to the
London Time ,« of July 27:
“ Sir— For the last fourteen years my
brothers have been working, on their
own account, several mines in the Li
nares district and other parts of Spain.
Three months ago they sent me to open
out anew set in the Sierra Mcrena,
twenty miles lion; Linares. On the 3d
inst. i started ou horseback from these
mines to proceed to Carolina, accom
panied by my foreman. After a rid..' of
two miles along a narrow path, sur
rounded by thick bushes aud brushwood,
two men, armed with Remington car
bines, suddenly stopped out into the
path four yards iu front of me and or
dered me to dismount. My attendant,
who carried a gun, found himseii at
tacked in the same way by three others.
Seeing resistance was useless, we dis
mounted. They searched us for arms,
aud took away our watches, which they
eventuallv returned. Then they led the
way to a ravine, where the brushwood
effectually concealed us. I was politely
told it was only a question of ransom.
I answered that J supposed so, but I de
sired to know who was the chief of the
band, as I did not wish to treat with ail
of them. On this one of them tolu me
he and another were the leaders. He
tiic» gave me a letter to read, m which
thev had fixed my ransom at £40,000.
In this letter my brothers were repeat
edly informed that I should ba murdered
if their request was not attended to.
Thev also gave directions about sending
the monev. It was to be carried by a man
dressed in black, with a white hat and a
red handkerchief in his hand. The man
was to be mounted on a white mme. He
was to go without arms and alone, unless
he required a guide. The route was ex
actly laid down, with injunctions only to
travel from sunrise to sunset. In case
he should be robbed by other thieves,
mv brothers were to replace the money
or'l should be shot. I observed that it
was useless asking for such a sum tnat
we could not raise it. They, however, re
quested me to sign the letter, which 1
did. They ordered my foreman to take
the letter to my relatives at Linares, en
trusting him with onr two horses, wtiea
were only in their way. We then con
tinued traveling all that day and_ night,
on a donkey and they on foot; only rest
ing for a short time on two occasions.
Ou the road they fired three shots at a
sportsman about 300 yards off, who did
not answer when called, fortunately
without hitting him. We arrived at J
o’clock in the morning, at the place
where they kept me all the time I was
their prisoner. They formed a kind of
hut by clearing a space of brushwood,
joining the top branches, and covering
them with more brushwood. The heat
during the nine days I remained there
was anything but agreeable. My bed
consisted of brushwood and a maiuta, a
kind of rug. They brought food, wine
and tobacco regularly. I was only
threatened the first day, probably with
the intention of making me write letters ;
urging my brothers to s nil my ransom ,
as soon as possible. This I refused to
do, and seeing that their threats were |
useless, they abandoned this system,
and told methey did not intend to hurt
me—that they were sorry to be obliged
to place me under such restraint.
During my captivity I was guarded by
four of the robbers. One of the men
who took me, and two others who j
showed themselves the next day, went ,
forward to secure the money. My guards i
were very cautious, they never put
down a rifle without first withdrawing j
the cartridge. Most of the brigands ap- j
peared to be men who had not worked j
for some time back. Several of them
expressed themselves well, although ;
their chief object of conversation re
ferred to their former exploits (hazauas),
and to the circumstances which had led
them to adopt this mode of life. They
disapproved of capital punishment.
'One of them said he was giving a good
education to his son, and that if he
thought he would take to his father s
profession he would shoot him. On tho
13th those who had been waiting for the
ransom returned, bringing with them
one of the mules my brothers had sent.
I then heard that I was free, but was
only allowed to start on my way back
in tlie evening. The chief then gave.me
£6, saving that I might require it on the
road—that it would not be right for a
Caballero to go about without a penny.
With Spanish politeness he excused
himself for having defamed me, and
hoped I should find all my friends well
at home. Not to be behindhand I ex
pressed the hope that the money would
benefit them, “que les apvovc.che a tts~
tedcs el ainero.” To one of them, Mala
gueno, I laid. “ Hasla oira vista. He
answered, “Yes, but under less damnable
circumstances.” The chief then in
formed me that henceforth 1 might
travel about these mountains with safety,
as they would be the first to take care
that no other band should molest me. I
then mounted the mule, and, accom
panied by one of the brigands, rode
across the country for several hours.
At midnight, on reaching a path which
he said would lead to a house, lie left
me About half an hour later I came
upon some wood-cutters, with whom I
spent the rest of the night. Next morn
ing one them guided me to our mine,
and thence I proceeded to Linares,
where I arrived ou the evening of the
13th. I then first learned the amount
of the ransom sent—£o,ooo.
My relatives in Linares were nine days
without hearing directly from me, with
alternate hopes and fears, according to
the different reports that went about the
place, but without being certain wheth
er I was alive or not. I must now add
that the Spanish authorities of Madrid,
and particularly the sub-Governor of
Linares, spared no trouble to get my re
lease without exposing me to the ven
geance of those lawless men. The sub-
Governor did every tiling that could be
done. The Government are now pur
, uing them vigorously, and, I believe,
will not allow us to suffer in a pecuniary
way in this matter. Our Consul-Gen
eral at Malaga, and Vice-Consul at
Linares, have also from the first dis
played much activity, helping to raise
the necessary funds among our friends
at Linares. Arthur Haselden.

A BELL-BOY ON THE BENCH.
A Former Servant at tlie Galt House
is Inveigled iuto Accepting a Louis
ana Judgeship.
[N. O. Picayune, August 11.
Three years ago one of our well known
citizens, who resides on St. Charles
street, near St. Mary, was traveling in
the North. On his way home he stopped
at,tlie Galt House, in Louisville, and
while there came in contact with and
was favorably impressed by a youth at
tached to the establishment. This youth,
whose name is Bruce Johnson, was a
very light mulatto, of pleasing manners
and extremely prepossessing appearance,
about twenty years of age, and follow
ing at that time tho humble avocation
of bell-boy. Mr. D. saw a great deal of
Bruce during his stay at the Galt House,
and both he and Mrs. D. became con
firmed in their original idea as to his
good qualities. So much so, indeed,
tiiat when the time for their depar
ture drew near, and propostions
looking to Bruce’s accompanying
them were made, they joyfully agreed,
and straightway received him witli open
arms.
In the Fall, therefore, of 1871 the
party reached New Orleans. Since that
time Bruce lias dwelt with the D. family,
on St. Charles street, to the unmixed
satisfaction of all concerned. There
never was such a dining-room servant
and general factotum. Bright, read)',
ingenious, irreproachable in dress and
demeanor, and, above all, unvaryingly
honest in all his dealings with the fami
ly, he has been their chief dependence,
their sure refuge in all domestic emer
gencies. A sincere affection existing be
tween Bruce and his employers, and
they on their part liked and trusted him
with au unreserved cordiality quite ex
ceptional in such cases now-a-days.
But within the past few weeks a change
became visible. Bruce was observed to
be restless and unhappy. He seemed to
be torn by conflicting emotions. Finally
he told Mr. D. that he thought of going
iuto politics; that Gov. K—ll—g and
Judge M—ll—r wanted him to work up
the ward for them; that he was called
upon to enter public life. Mr. D. rea
soned with him, but without avail. He
slowly succumbed-to the tempter, neg
lected his domestic pursuits, fell from
the high standard of dining-room talent,
so long characteristic of his life, and at
last appeared as an avowed and undis
guised politician and placeman.
One night Mr. D. w T as aroused about
12:30 by a very respectable looking per
son, who rung the front-door bell anil
inquired lor Judge Johnson. Then it
all transpired. Bruce was a Judge—
Associate Judge of the Fourth Munici
pal Court, it appears, and Mr. D., after
having cherished him for three happy
years was now compelled to answer the
front door bell at midnight at the sum
mons of parties looking for Judge John
son.
The parting has fiually been consum
mated. The D. family loses its bright
est domestic ornament, and Bruce roams
the desert waste of politics, a confessed
and unmitigated Judge. It is reported
that he will be made a delegate to the
Parish Convention, anil those who once
loved and still regret him apprehend
that he is fated to sink even lower in
the abyss of degradation, and become a
Representative, if not a Senator, in the
next Louisiana Legislature !
And this is the mission of the Repub
can party. Our cane and cotton fields
are to be depopulated, onr kitchens anil
stables given over to neglect, even our
dining-rooms ravished of their most
sacred treasures in tbe ruthless and un
principled search for judges, statesmen
ai;d officials generally ! We have sup
pressed the names of the high digni
taries whom Bruce accuses of leading
him astray, but how will they feel when
this poor young man shall have com
pleted what now seems to be his inevi
table destiny, and is hurled, a festering
and friendles wreck, into the executive
chair ! How will they feel when the
tragedy has been played, and we, in
terms befitting its gloomy horror, shall
chronicle the “ Days of Bruce !”
Miss Thompson and the Army.
[London Correspondence New York Times.]
Feople are al! laughing af the extra
ordinary relations which have been es
tablished between Miss Thompson, who
painted the “Muster after lukerman,”
which was praised by that erudite anil
delicate student of art, the Prince of
Wales, and has since been guarded
from an equally appreciative mob by the
police in the" Academy Exhibition.—
She is painting another picture, aDd the
other day the British public were equally
amazed and amused to read the follow
ing paragraph iu the newspapers :
“Miss Thompson, the painter of ‘The
Roll Call’ in the Royal Academy, accom
panied bv Colonel J. F. M. Browne, and
several officers from the War Office, paid
a second vkht to Chatham on Saturday,
for the purpose of seeing the Royal En
gineers perform a number of evolutions,
and making sketches on the different
positions which would be assumed in
the battle field. At the close of her in
spection, Miss Thompson selected some
of the men to attend her studio,
Anybody who has seen the engraving
in the Graphic of Miss Thompson’s pic
ture of a cavalry charge at Aldershot,
must have a curious idea of the sanity
of British dragoons. It is needless to
say that if the cavalry behaved in the
lunatic way in which Miss Thompson
represented them, they would soon
break their horses’ jaws and their own
backs It is pure caricature, as General
Sheridan will tell you. All cavalry
charges are very slow and quiet.
A Lodge of Good Templars was or
ganized in Dallas, Paulding county,
Friday night. It is Lena Lodge, 371,
and wae organised by S. T. Robinson,
Secretary of the Grand Lodge of the
State.
-Mr. Robert Schley, Jr., left Savannsh
for New York on Saturday by the steam
ship San Salvador, eu route to Saratoga,
to join the Savannah crew as an alter
nate, and to take a hand in event of ac
cident or sickness befalling any member
of the regular crew.
THE THIRD PI STRICT.
Col. Jack Brown Nominated for Con
gress by the Radicals.
Americas, Ga., August 22, 1874.
To the Editors of the Atlanta Herald:
I wrote you the other day that Col.
Jack Brown would either quit the race
or ran on the “nigger” ticket for Con
gress, and I was right. The negroes
and scalawags had their Convention
here to-day, and nominated the gentle
man as their candidate. ’Tis a good
thing for the Democrats, for as an inde
pendent he would probably havegotton a
few straggling votes; but, as the regular
nominee of the nigger rights party, he
will get none at all from the white peo
ple. and by white people I refer not to
color but principle.
I don’t know whether the Colonel had
to swallow Civil Bights or not in order
to obtain the nomination, but don’t be
lieve he would so far demean himself
even to get to Congress. So much for
the Colonel’s unswerving fidelity to
principle as set forth so boldly in his
curd; and so much for his pretended de
votion to what he calls the old “Jeffer
sonian Democracy.”
May kind fate save us from many such
Democrats!
The Convention didn’t nominate a
ticket for the Legislature nor for the
Senate. I think their idea is for some
body (not known to the Democrats as
yet) to run on the independent ticket,
but with a secret understanding that
they are to be the candidates for the
Bads.
Since writ ing the above, I have learned
that Capt. H. L. French was nominated
for the Senate.
We have had no rain yet. Farmers

FOR YOUNG LADIES.
rpHIS INSTITUTION stands upon an eminence,
1_ north of the city of Nashville, overlooking the
valley of the Cumberland river. For beauty of
scenery and healthfullness it is unequaled by any in
stitution in the South. Sickness is almost unknown.
Chalybeate Water, in constant supply, is within the
* nclosure, and the purest White Sulphur just out
side the grounds. The course of study is thorough
and solid; the system of the school, in accordaiD e
with the best models in the country. Retired, yet
within easy reach of the city. It has for young la
dies all the advantages, and none of the drawbacks,
of city schools. The Academy refers with confidence
lor verification of its past efficiency to its many fin
ished graduates, and its pupils scattered throughout
the South. Address,
