Dublin, Ga.. Oct. 13,1885.
“Tell us the story about the For
tune-Teller and the Golden Horse
shoe, Fenolla.” coaxed the childrou.
“Do 1” ‘
Fenolla sat working by the lamp.
An extra order had come in that day
for vines of delicate embroidery on
the fronts of half a dozen shirts,
and the work hus been given to Fe--
uella Wait, greatly to her delight.
It was so much additional income
to the Wait exchequer. Fenolla
worked all day in the factory, but
this was something that did not
como within tho regular itiles, and
she willingly* took the shirts homo,
and toiled after working hours for
the chance to earn tho two addition
al dollars. There was a bill at the
drug-store to settle, and Aunt Ma
ry’s shawl was so thin and worn
that it diden't keep the wind from
curccning around her attenuated
form when she wont out, and. Uncle
Job could go on with that grand
new Invention which he was always
“just going’’ to perfect; and to 1<V
nclln, the bread-winner of tho fam
ily two dollars meant two dollars,
every coat of it.
Fenollu Wait might have been one
of the Prisoners of Poverty, but she
did not know it, and sang at her
work. And when Kate and Patty
came home from evening school,
and clung around her, boseeching
her to toll once more the time-worn
legends that had delighted their in
fancy, sho looked with kindly eyes
down into their poor litthr pinched
faces.
“Why, you’ve heard that forty
times before,” said she.
“Yes, but it’s always good,” suid
Kate.
“And,” added solemn little Pat
ty, “we always like to hoar it. Please
Nolla!”
“Well,” said Fenolla, stitching
rapidly on, “it was when I was six
teen. Pin six-nnd-twenty now, you
know, so thut was ever and evor so
long ago. I was a girl, under the
apple trees in the country. That
was beforo father died, you know,
and we lived on a farm, and the
crucs were all ft pink, fluttering cloud
of blooms ; and we girls—I and my
schoolmates—stood under them, and
made believe it was a pink snow
storm, when an old, old woman
came along, wrapped in a red cloak,
with her hood pulled over her eyes
so that it almost rested on Dor crook
ed nose, and leaning on a stick ; and
she said:
“Shall 1 tell yonr fortunes, my
bonny lasses ? I’ll do it for a silver
sixpence each.”
“Well, of course we hadn’t any
si x pences—only Imlf-di mes—bu t
they were silver pieces any way, and
so she agreed to tell our fortune for
these.
“And you" bIio said to Fanny
Wukeley, ‘will sleep under a green
plush" blanket before tho year is ont;
and you,' to Lizzy Rowe, ‘will cross
the sea, with a fair ntan at you side;
and you,’to me, ‘will never haw;
any luck unless you find a golden
dio^slioe lying at your feet.’ Vjjl
“With that she trudged away
and we never saw her again; and
before tho year was out Fanny
Wtikely was sleeping under the green
blanket of Lite church-yard sod.
Sure enough, Lizzy Howe married a
little man* with blue oyes and yellow
hair, who took her to the south of
France, where lie was starting in
the wine trade; and as for me—I've
never found the golden horse shoe
yd.!’
“Do von suppose you ever will
find ilNolla ?” said Patty.
“No,” said Nolla. bitting off the
thread, “I don’t suppose I ever
shull.”
“Golden horseshoes, indeed !”
said Kale. “Who tvor saw one J’
And then tiiey went to bed, snug
ging *jp logoi her to keep warm,
white Fenolla sowed on and on until
the little wooden clock on tho man*
tic struck twelve.
She took tho work home noxt day,
Tho foreman was quarrelling with
one of tho hands who had chosen to
disobey orders, and was unwilling
to take the conseqnonces, and Fc-
nclla was biddoti to take i> tip into
the office herself,
If tho costomer ain’t there,”
said Mr. MoOollum- (which was the
foreman’s ceremonial name, just ns
“Old Screw*’ was his informal one),
“wait till he coincs ; he won’t be
long.”
So Fenolla waited ; and piesently
the customer came—a tall, durk-
featurod young ntan.
“I beg your pardon,sir,” said sho,
carmly, “but are these embroidered
shirts for you 1”
“I ordered a set—yes,” said the
young man. “Are you the princi
pal’s wife ?”
Oh, no,” said Fenolla. “I am
only ono of tho Bowing girls. Biit
the foreman told mo to bring them
up.”
“You are a sewing girl, eh!” said
lie young man, looking curiously
nt her.
“Yes, sir,” said Fenolla, calmly.
“Would you like somo more sew-
ng to do?” he asked. “Not through
this firm, I mcar., but work that you
will get good, fair pay foi ?”
“Of course I should like it,” Fe-
nella answered, promptly.
“I’ll bring yon something then, if
you will giro mo yonr address,” said
ho.
He took a card and pencil from
his pocket und wrote it down, ns
she dictated it to him.
She was wondering, as she wont
back to Jior mnohine, whether she
had done wrong in giving her address
to this total stranger.
“lie has u kind face,” she said to
herself, “aiid a pleasant eye. No,
I will not believe that one half of
the world goes about, a wolf in
shcop's clothing, to devour the oth-
or half.”
Sure enough, that very evening a
gontlcinan’s servant brought a puck-
acre of material to the house where
Fonella Wait’s people lived.
“For Mis8 llait,” suid lie, “A
dozen fine shirts. There’s a speci
men garment inside.
“I can get twelve dollars a dozen
for shirts us these,” thought exul
tant Nella. “I’ll commence them
at once. Oil, wo shall bo rich,
now.”
She cut them carefully out, fol
lowing the pattern with tho most
careful oxacitude, and set herself
diligently to work; but when the
clock once more struck midnight
she stopped.
She* folded up the work, and stop
pod to pick up the sample shirt.
Right there, on tho floor at her feet,
lay a small screw stud, fashioned
like a golden horseshoe, and set with
the tiniest of rubies for nails.
.“It must have fallen from the
folds of tho shirt.” sho pondered.
Oh !” with a sudden start, “it
tho fortune-tellor’s prediction—a
gold horseshoe. ; /
She smiled at tlieodd coincidence.
f .|“1 can’t return it to the owner, 1
she said. “I shall have to wait uu
til he sends for it. I don’t even
know wlmt his name' is. How
strange all this is !”
As it chanced, however, sho met
him in tliestroet, the very next eve
itig, as site returned from her day’s
work. Hor fair, dimpled face flush
ed u p. *
“J was wanting to see you,” said
she. “I have found a little got
horseshoe that I think must belong
to you.”
“And I have lost tho same ar
ticle*,” said ho. “Have you got it
with you 1”
“No. I loft it at home. But it
isn’t far.”
She took it so calmly und serenely
for granted that h« would accompa
ny her to her humble abode that he
did no, half mulling to himself.
The poorly ftiruiifiied apartment
was a revelation to Osward Harring
ton. Aunt Mary in her invalid
ohsur; Uncle Job working steadily
at the diagram of the invention tlmt
never cumo to. anything ; the two
little girls sewing beads *n blaok
braid as diligently us if llioy were
eighty instead of eight years old—he
saw and nolioo all these things, with
the sweet, Evangel ine-futScd, maiden
standing in thoir midst.
“You aro very poor ?” he said to
Ur.clo Job.
The inventor looked up.
“Yes, yes,” ho .admitted. “But
we shall bp rioh when once I get out
this ‘Patont Improvement to the
Hubs of wheels.” ’
But in the meantime ?” said Os
wald Harrington.
Uncle Job startod at him. He
had not thought of that.
‘Wouldn’t you be hotter, off in tho
country?” Mi\ Harrighton said to
Aunt Mary. “You and tho ohil-
dron ?”
“Yes,” said the patient invalid,
‘but how to got there ? We have no
means, sir, you know,”
“I have a place that needs a re
liable family to take care of it,”
suid ho. “It is a fruit farm in Del
aware ; yon would have your rent
and vegetables, and I daro say the
wheel hub invention could bo praoti-
cully tostod there ?”
“But Fenellu’s work ?” said Aunt
Mary, Wistfully.
“There would bo the poultry, and
the strawberry bods,*’ suggested Mr.
Harrington.
The upshot of it was that the fam
ily went to Delaware ; and this was
the beginning of all then luck.
Depend upon it,” Bnid grave lit
tle Patty, “that golden horseshoe
meant something. Remember, Nol
la,v what tho fortune-toller suid. We
are all so happy here, and so well. 11
But,” said Kuto, seriously, “wt>
shall not be so happy whou Nulla is
gone.”
“Nolla gone 1” echoed Patty.
Goosie, where should she go 1”
“Don’t you know I” said Kate.
Can’t you guess! Oh, Putty,
haven't you seen her smile* and color
up whenever Mr. Harrington couie
hero ?”
Patty elapped Iter small hands.
“The golden horseshoe J” “Tlw
go’den horseshoe, again 1”
And whether the old fortuno-tol-
ler carried the keys of the future or.
not, one thing is very ceitnin : If
FclcIIu Wait had not chanced to
find that goldon horsehoe, with the
tiny ruby nails, she never would
have come ho near the heart of the
man wbo9u wife she afterwards bo*
came—Oswald Harrington.—Amy

The Free Paw Evil. 1
It is said that many Congressmen
dou’t like thut provision of the interi
state commerce bill which prohibits
the railroads from issuing lroo pass
es. Free passes have boon quite a
little bonanza for some Cbngressnien
who have secuvod passes not only for
themselves to all parts of tho country
but have demanded them for tliotr
relatives. If any Congressmen has
ever refused mileage because 'he
railroads carried him free to nud
from his home, it is doubtful if there
is any record of it.
It is said tlmt h member of the
House, a day or two ugo, wroto to
the Pennsylvania Central's manage
ment suggesting that lie hud not re
ceived the annuel passes which that
corporation usually sent him. Tho
reply ho got doubtless rather dazed
him. It was, in effect, tlmt the
chances were that the interstate
commerce bill would become a law,
and that as the provisions of tlmt
mcasuro might be oonstrued ns to
make it a penal offense to grant free
pusses, the request for them could
not lie complied with. ._1
If tho bill becomes a law, and the
free puss system is abolished though
its agenoy, it will Imre accomplished
some good. Officials may deny, as
emphatically as they can, thnt they
are ever improperly influenced by
free passes, but they will not suc
ceed in making the publio believe
thut they do not strain a point in
favor of the railroads when they
have the opportunity to do so on ac
count of them.
There is no doubt that free passes
are very oostiy thing* to the differ
ent States. In this Slate, for ith
stance, free passes enable mom hers
logo homo—without expense, as
often hi they please, and they go
quite frequently. Their absence de
lays business, and, consequently pro
longs the sessions. The longer the
sessions tho more the Legislature
costs tho people. The freo puss evil
is as noticeable .in ether Slute* as in
this.'
Although tho railroads limy de
rive certain benefits from froo pass
es, it is doubtful if these benefits
are equal to tho lax which these
. pluses imposo upon them. Indeed,
it is probublo tlmt they aro glad
tlmt they have a good oxettse for re
fusing passes.--, 1 Savannah News.

Ammonia, or Hartshorn.
From Hall’s Journal of Ilouitli-.
The original source of supply of.
tun mourn was earners dung. It is’
found in the refuse matters of men
and nnimttls, and especially in the
nrino. It is this that produces.the
pungent and sickening odor in urin
als and neglected stables. H is, in it*
concentrated form, poenlmrly de
structive to the delicate tissues of
tho animal economy. The action of
ammonia on (lie sensitive membranes
of the eye is the most prominent;
cause of blindness in horses. Animals
that are confined in olosc stables,
when manure is allowed to nccumu.
lute in considerable quantity, arc, in
addition to blindness, peculiarly lia
ble to diseases of the lungs und kid-
noys, from the action of ammonia.
The effect of this drug scorns to U
cumulative, and whon taken into the
stomach, und to those far more sen
sitive membranes that line tlis pass
age of tho urinary apparatus.
Ammonia is nsod in tho munufuo-
turo cf some baking powders, und

ammonia, discard the baking pow-

powders in tho market that aro made

I.earu to t;ro\v Old.
After the half century of years is
completed, men are liable to declaim
about the vanity of 'tlrngs, and to
have a settled distaste for pursuits
and umusbmcnts which occupied
earlier years.' , r
It is a dangerous time; In. older
to find relief, such men often break
up the business vocations of a life—
time, and seek in now experiments
tho glow and ardor which have van
ished with youth.
It is a prolific swttrce of financial
failure; often of domestic disrupt
ions; sometimes leading to suicide or
mud ness.
Youlli and its passions are not to
be recalled by a change of locality or
of business.
What these people fret about is
simply the departure of youth.
They have not the philosophy to
adjust themselves i« approaching
age, and serenely await the cud, und
they plunge into chimerical business
ventures nod break up homes, uiu
seek new lands in the vain hope of
reviving a fire which cun never burn
brightly again.
There is not ono man in a dozen
with a fixed ample income who can
with patience submit himself to the
conservative dictate* of age, and
with books und friends lead a life of
innocent leisure.
Tho struggle is always to make
sixty heat with the impulsive mim-
hoiH of thirty, and that cun never be.
The wise iinio will bow to the yoke,
and by so doing will cease lo fed
It is a yoke which wo all must
wear, save tlioso which tho Greeks
j dared were blessed of tho gods
became they died young.
Hlminefitl Street Beenes.
From n Mexican Letter.
Mun and women are seen in the

They run their head through this, ho

The High Hat Ntiiftttnce. .
From the Nashville Union.
In the oust the newspapers are
saying that the prettiest girln at the
theateis ate those who wear low lints,
and recently in Washington, when a
theater party, half of whom consist
ed of six or eight very pretty girls,
came in without bonnets, tho audi
ence, high and low, appreciated it
sufficiently to greet the comer* with
a round of applause. It was
charming to wo i lie girls blush at
this recognition of their good deed.
Two or. three other boiiuelle«s par
ties were also cheered. Thu Nasb-
ville young men nro as chivalrous a*
those of Washington, ami if our
Nashville bratilies will follow tho
example above it will Ik* thotironhg-
ly appreciated. Give it a trial any
how.
The young lady who lost hor
breath while sliding down hill mi a
toboggan has recovered it. She found
tlmt it had lodged in her lover's niut-
taobo. —/'Ailadelphia Herald*
