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. -------- “Do you realize,sir, ” said the long haired passenger, “that there is One who sees and hears all we do, who can solve our inmost thoughts and and before whom we are hut crushed and bruised worms?” “Give us your hand, stranger,” replied the other. “I know just how you feel. I am married myself.”—New York Hun. 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. --- 4 - 4 . -- A hail storm recently visited ibe lower part of Oglethorpe county which covered the ground 4 inches deep. Corn was battered from tho stalk in a fearful manner. One far¬ mer reports that he could gather up thiec or four wagon loads on the ground in a short time. The cotton bolls were scattered pell mell, doing much damage. r llie roofs of somo of the houses in the vicinity were scattered, and trees were blown down by the gale. --<•«« **-■ - - 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.
