WEAVER. 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 Ranqolph, m New York Ledger.

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. NUMBER 27 . 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 probubtv ono-half the onus of baking: powders on grooors’ shelves contuin it. If yon got the pungent fumes of ammonia, discard the baking pow- dor. There aro plenty of baking powders in tho market that aro made only from pure cream ol tartar und bicarbonate of soda, with a little flour or stnroh combined as a preser vative. Buy only baking powder* that Imvo printed guarantees on the labels, or in the circulars contained in tho cans. No honest dottier in any class of goods intonded as food, or to enter into foods, will roftise to fur nish with each package* tho correct formula from which tho poods are made. Every consumer has a right to know what he is using as food. Wo always refuse to buy good* of any kind Unit are branded pure, strictly pure or absolutely pure, un- loss in addition we are ns plainly in formed of just, what they aro made; and we think this rule is always a. s tfe ono. 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.
