MISSING.
Chambers' Journal.
’Twas after Talavera, on an evening
dark and gray;
\Ve had returned from the fight, af¬
And ter a called bloody day;
we the muster over; hut
one answered not the call—
’Twas the youngest, and the noblest,
and the bravest of us all.
lie had dared the direst dangers of
that dread and dear-bought day,
For ho had been the foremost in the
fury of the fray;
But a solemn silence answered when
we called him on the roll,
And we knew that we had lost him—
and that heaven had gain’d a soul
The night was closing chill and dim,
and stars were in the sky,
When forth we went to look for him
—the battle-field was nigh;
The moon shone out to aid us in our
grim and ghostly quest,
As we turned the brave men over
that was lying there—at rest.
Where the fight had wax’d the thick¬
est, on tlie margin of the field,
We found him, grasping hard the
sword Ik.- nevermore might wield!
There was glory on his visage, like a
rosy light or flood,
Though his golden hair was dabbled
with his swiftly flowing blood.
Oh, rcv’rently we lifted him, and
wiped away the stain
That marr’d the bright young fore¬
head, where a mother’s kiss had lain
We loosed the things about his breast
hut turned aside—for there
We saw a maiden’s picture and a
tender lock of hair!
He was not dead; he strove to smile;
he lifted up his hands—
But Death had turned the hour-glass
and was counting out the sands!
We were rough and harden’d soldiers
and we could not mourn, because
He was dying for his country—like
the hero that lie was.
We laid him on the litter, but he nei¬
ther spoke nor moved;
And tenderly we bore him to the
comrades that he loved.
He was dead long ere we laid him on
the mossy patch of ground,
But we hoped he did not suffer, for
he died without a sound.
We have bled in many a battle, we
have fought in many a fray.
But that night at Talavera is as fresh
And as yesterday;
his name upon the muster roll
in fapey oft we call,
For we loved him as t he noblest and
the bravest of us all.
Atlanta Capitol: “The people are
very superstitious around Stone
Mountain, according to a story told
by an old citizen of that place, who
is now a resident of this city. A re¬
porter was told by Mr. E L Bradley,
of this city, that ail old rumor said
the first travelers through this coun¬
try buried piles of gold near the
Stone Mountain on the north side
and that they sawed off a limb of a
dogwood tree that stood ovei or
near where the money was placed.
A dogwood tree now stands about a
mile from the mountain with a limb
rotted off about a foot from the body
of the tree. Not fa: from this tree
is an old exeava'ion that was filled
up with rocks, yet no other rocks
can he found nearer than half a mile
of this place. The people say that
here lies the fortune. But stop! It
is haunted. Old, solid, level-headed
citizens say positively that they have
seen lights over this pile of cocks, oi
hole filled with rocks, that they can’t
account for. Some have seen one
thing and sonic another. So all seem
to he afraid of it. Oiig citizen at¬
tempted to haul off the rocks, but
after he had carried away several
loads lie despaired. Bring out the
rock for here lies a fortune.”
Honored by the Sultan.
Washington, Aug. 20. —A priv¬
ate letter from an American naval
officer at Constantinople states that
the Sultan has conferred the order of
the “Chefakat” upon Mrs. Cleveland
The Chefakat is the well known be
nevelent order. It was conferred by
the Sultan on Mrs. Cox, the wife of
our Minister to Turkey. The Sultan
will send with the ribbon of the or¬
der two large gold mounted albnms
containing views of the most attrac¬
tive points of interest about Con¬
stantinople. One of the albums is in¬
scribed “The President of the Unit¬
ed States,” and the other “Mrs. Gro¬
ver Cleveland.”
NONA’S OBEDIENCE.
harper’s weekly.
A lovely afternoon in the spring,
when the balmy air and the fresh,
bright toilets of the ladies made a
gala day even on Broadway.
Philip Hays stood at his office
door, thoughtfully pulling on his
neatly-fitting gloves. Isay “thought¬
fully,” because that would just de¬
scribes his state of mind, which was
that of halting between two opinions
—whether to go for his usual up¬
town stroll, have a ccmfortable din¬
ner at the Westminister, and a little
flirtation with Jessie Mabin after¬
ward, or to cross the river and take
a tain for his brother’s lovely place
in Jersey. He told himself, as he
was carefully buttoning his right
hand glove, that the cherries were
ripe, and that he really needed a lit¬
tle fresh air and country milk.
But he knew of a far better reason
yet, if he would have acknowledged
it; and what is more, otlieer people
knew it too. Brother Will was wise
enough to credit his pretty sister-in
law with Philip’s remarkable access
of fraternal affection, and little No¬
na Zabriska herself had a shrewd
guess as to what kind of chenies
Mr. Philip Hays came to the country
to taste.
Well, on this particular afternoon
the country proved to be finally the
more powerful attraction, and in an
hour and a half after the gloves had
been fitted to a nicety they were tak¬
en off again, that the wearer might
clasp the hands of the dearest, sweet¬
est, brightest little country maiden
that any man with the right kind of
heart or eyes could desire to see.
What Philip said to Nona, and
what Nona said to Philip, the cher¬
ry-trees and the evening-star probai
lily know; hut it was very delightful
and so satisfying that the young peo¬
ple came hack to the house without
any cherries at all, and presently
there was a great deal of hand-shak¬
ing and kissing, which ended in a
bottle of champagne and mutual
good wishes.
Well, after this, for a couple o f
weeks, there was no hesitating at the
office door. Philip said “strawber¬
ries” now when his friends rallied
him about his sudden passion for the
country, and the strawberry excuse
did just as well as the cherries.
But as tlic weather grew hotter,
the subject of summer resorts be¬
came uppermost. Philip’s mother and
sister were going to some fashiona¬
ble Virginian springs, and he great¬
ly desired that his little Nona should
go with them.
To tell the truth, he did wish she
was a little more stylish, and would
put up her curls, abandon aprons,
and dress like Jessie Mabin did. That
would perfectly satisfy him, he
thought. Yes, Nona Nabriska dress¬
ed like Jessie Mabin would leave him
nothing to derise.
lie went about his plans with that
tact which young men who have sis¬
ters easily acquire. A little present
from Tiffany’s, and a modest check
“just for spending-money,” made lii.s
sister Cecelia sufficiently interested
in his project.
“Nona is a dear little girl, Cece¬
lia,” he said. “All she wants is a
more stately manner and stylish
dress.”
“If that is what you desire, Phil¬
ip, why do you not marry Jessie Ma¬
bin? I thought you lkc-d her well
enough.” I heart
“Because, Cecdc, want a
inside the dress—a pure, fresh loving
heart.”
“It seems to me—.” But here Ce¬
cile stopped. She was wise enough
to know she would he “throwing
words away.”
The next difficulty was to make
Nona delicately understand his
wishes, ar.d induce her to accept the
invitation sent her by his mother and
sister, lie approached the subject un¬
der the most favorable circumstances
the moonlight did not betray his con
fusion, and his encircling arm held
her so close to his heart that lie had
no fear of not securing attention if
argument or explanation became ne¬
cessary.
“I am so glad, Nona, that you are
going with Cecile. I am sure it will
do you good.” And then he stopped
and kissed her for emphasis.
‘I go to please you Philip. I am
quite well, thank you.’
‘Oh! hut I don’t mean about your
health, Nona. You little witch! who
could have such bright eyes and red
lips and not be quite well! I mean
about dress and deportment, and
those kind of things.”
There was a little ominous silence,
and then a low, grieved voice- ‘I
don’t think I understand you, Pliil
ip.’
‘No, dear; and upon the -whole I
am glad you have never understood
so far. You sec, when we arc man icd
we shall live in the city, and we
must behave and dress as city pco
pie do. Cecile will show you all about
it darling, so don’t trouble your pret¬
ty little head.’
‘I thought you liked me just as I
am, Philip. II hat is wrong in the
city that is proper and pretty in the
country, will you tell me?’
‘Certainly, Nona. Your loose flow¬
ing hair and short dresses, and your
Frank, familiar ways, all so perfect¬
ly charming just here, would occai
sion remarks and unpleasant critic¬
isms in the city. I want my little
girl to be as fashionable and as sty¬
lish as—as—well, as Jessia Mabin.’
‘Ah! she is your ideal, is she?’
Much more to the same purpose,
mingled with kisses and compliments
was said, but nothing in it deceived
the wounded woman’s heart. For
Nona, though not a fashionable wo¬
man, was a true woman, nevertheless,
and understood not only what had
been said, hut also all that had been
left to he inferred.
It was not possible for him to
leave his business entirely, hut it had
been arranged that once a month lie
was to pay a few day’s visit to the
springs, and in the entervals he re¬
freshed and comforted by regular
and plentiful supplies of lettets.
The supply was pretty fair the firs!
week, hut fell off gradually after¬
ward, until several days passed with¬
out any token of Nona’s faith and
memory. Still he did not feel much
troubled. Ho thought he quite un¬
derstood Nona’s reasons, and at any
rate he r< lied with implicit confi¬
dence on the effect which Philip
Hays in his own proper person could
not fail to make.
This confidence did not agree with
events. lie arrived at the springs and
found Nona out driving with Jack
Christie—a young man whom he par¬
ticularly disliked for his pretentious
manners. He was on the piazza when
they returned, and he was certain
Nona -saw him, though she kept her
eyes on Jack’s face, and pretended
the greatest interest in his foolish
conversation; for of two things Phil¬
ip was certain—first, that her inter¬
est was pretended, and second, that
Jack’s conversation was foolish.
Then ho felt unaccountably and,
as lie very well knew, unreasonably
chilled by the greeting of the splen¬
didly dressed Nona, who calmly and
nonchalantly extended the tips of her
gloved fingers to him, drawling out
the while a pretty little assurance of
being ‘so glad to see Mr. Ilays,’ with
the information that‘Cecile had been
expecting him since the early morn*
ing train.’
‘Cecile!’ lie said, reproachfully.
‘And you too, Nona?’
‘Oh dear no, Mr. Hays. It is quite
loo exhausting to expect anything.
One at a time is quite sufficient ’
Philip was shocked and silenced
for the time. For one distressing
half-hour he tried to assume his
rights as her betrothed, hut she kept
Jack Cristie persistently between
them; and so, angry and hurt, he
sought his sister Cecile.
‘Cecile,’ he said, ‘what a change
there is in Nona! What is the cause!’
‘A wonderful change! I never saw
a girl improve so rapidly. I suppose
you are the cause. I)o you know that
she is really the belle? Jack Christie
and Ed. Forsth and half a dozen otli*
Terms—$1.00 per annum
ers are raving about her. Positively
they are, Phil.’
‘Very kidd of them, hut—’
•Well, so it is, you know. Very
first families, and all that kind of
thing, you know. Upon my word,
brother, I believe Nona will make a
sensation next winter. Mamma is
quite satisfied now.’
But Philip was not. No, not at all.
Very far from it. That night at the
hop Nona looked lovely and grand
enough for a queen, her goldon hair
arranged in some picturesque stylo,
which Jack Christie audably declar¬
ed to be ‘just the thing,’yards of sat¬
in and lace making a track of glory
behind her, and gold and jewels flash¬
ing from her head, her throat, and
her wrists.
All in vain, however, Philip plead¬
ed for a dance. A T ona had been en¬
gaged for every set since breakfast,
and she reminded him rather malici¬
ously of the necessity of conforming
to the usages of society. So lie had
the satisfaction of watching the so¬
cial triumph of the future Mrs. Hays.
Three miserable days of continual
disappointment and then Philip de¬
termined to go back to New York,
and see Nona no more until she re¬
turned to her country home.
lie bade his mother and Cecile
good by, and gave the regulation
kiss to Nona, who received it with
perfect placidity and many kind
whishos for his pleasant journey; for,
as he was to leave very early in the
morning, the ladies did not oxpecl
to sec him again before his depart¬
ure.
As they passed out of the parlors
Nona turned a moment, and a flash
of the old tenderness made her face
beautiful, her lips parted, and she
hesitated a moment as it she would
speak, hut finally passed on and away
Poor Philip! He took his cigar and
sat down on the dark, silent balcony,
miserable enough; but in about half
an hour a timid little figure stole
through the deserted room, and with¬
out warning laid her hand upon his 1
shoulder. He turned vapidly, all the
great passion, which had grown (o
deeper intensity in his suffering,
bursting out m one imploring whis¬
per ‘Nona!’
‘Philip!’
Well, you know the end. Philip
did not like the fashionable Nona at
till; his whole heart cried out for the
sweet, natural girl that he had never
prize:! enough till he believed her
gone forever. The tangled curls, the
short dresses, even the little ruffled
aprons, never more looked homely in
his eyes.
Ever afterward he had the most
wholesome fear of Nona turning fash
ionable; and she to this day, when
Philip is in the ‘opposition,’ reminds
him ot his one experiment in manag¬
ing women, and assures him that in
the long run ho would not like his
own way if he got it, and so lie takes
hers, which, after all, I have no
doubt, is the most sensible thing he
can do.
Not long before his disastrous fail¬
ure at the time of the Grant »fc Ward
crash, George I, Seney had indorsed
scholarships at tho Wesleyan Uni¬
versity to the amount of §100,000.
When he failed it was taken for
granted that tho institution would
lose this sum. Greatly to the stirdrise
of the managers, however, the inter¬
est to the sum has been handed over
to them regularly every year. Last
year came the first omission, and the
managers concluded that then, at
any rate, Mr. Seney had given up the
endeavor to make good his gift. A
few days ago, however, they had an¬
other surprise, when they received
from Mr. Honey a check for the full
amount of the endowment.

A DANGEROUS MAN j
WITHOUT AX ENEMY. PEACEABLE, YKT
A HOLY TERROR TO EVERYBODY.
Tho following “yarn” [is being
spun by a large number ot our ext
changes. It seems to be an orphan:
The most peaceable and dangerous?
man in all the United States lives in
Murray county, Georgia. He is kind
hearted, good-tempered, never had a
quarrel in his life, wouldn’t hurt a
fly, and everybody is afraid of him.
About a year ago he was cutting
wood when the axe flew off the han¬
dle and killed a man who had come
to pay him $50. IIo never got a cent
of the money.
The next week, while ferrying a
friend across a river, he ran the boat
against a snag and his friend was
drowned. About a month later ho
felled a tree on a stranger, who was
lying asleep in the woods, killing him
instantly. Not long after he shot a
wild turkey and killed a neighbor
whom he didn’t see at all.
Three weeks later lie lighted a
kerosene lamp, when it suddenly ex¬
ploded, burning to death a colpor¬
teur to whom the inoffensive Geor¬
gian had courteously extended the
hospitalities of his home. All this
man’s friends run when they see him
coming. He is himself afraid to ex¬
tend any kindness save to his enemies
of whom he has none.
His last public act was to cross the
street with a ladder on his shoulder
last 4th of July, while a procession
was passing, and when somebody
shouted to him “to hurry on” he ob
iigingly turned around and started
back. The procession was laid out
and the day was spoiled.

An outrageous crime was commit¬
ted on the step daughter of Mr. Jno.
Braun, who lives six miles from Gum¬
ming, by a negro hoy about fifteen
years old. The crime was commit¬
ted while Mr. Braun and his wife
were at Friendship camp ’meeting.
The negro was caught in the crime
by an old negro woman, who acci¬
dentally went over to Mr. Braun’s
house, and, hearing a child crying,
went out in the yard to sec what
was tho matter. As soon as Mr.
Braun came home the negro woman
told him of the crime and he imme¬
diately caught the negro hoy and
brought him to Camming, swore
out a warrant and brought him to
trial before Geo. E. Sims, who hound
him over to court. Tho people arc
terribly outraged, both white and
black, hut all arc perfectly willing
to leave the matter in the hands of
the authorities.

At Atlanta Mayor Ilillyer is tak¬
ing his time with reference to the
action that lie will pursue on tho res¬
olution passed by Council nearly two
months ago, requesting him to re¬
duce the fine of §500 and costs im¬
posed upon seven citizens of Atlanta
for selling liquor. The fines were im¬
posed by Police Judge Anderson,
and on account of their size the City
Council passed a resolution petition¬
ing Mayor Hillyer to open his heart
and reduce them. An appeal has
been taken in each case to the Sup*
reme Court, and these appeals will
be heard as soon as the court meets.
Mayor Ilillyer says that he is in no
hurry to decide what he shall do.
“No,” remarked one of the dear
creatures on the veranda, “I don’t
like Emma one hit.” “Why not?”
asked her friend; “I am sure that
Emma behaves herself like a lady.”
“That’s just it; she never does any*
thing to give one a chance to talk
about her.”—Boston Transcript.
