Dark blue eyes and curly hair, solt thin lips, und a round faco. She had noticed me and had caught iny eye, and she dropped her own lustros eyes to the ground in fear. There was something noble in the glance, and it haunted me for ma ny days. It was winter. And notwith standing the weather, she had on no shoes, and was scantily clad. She was perhaps between eleven and twelve years old, but there was care written on her face, and thero was a strong determiueded will shining in her eyes. After awhile Inoticed that she came by my store every morning at an early hour and returned late in the even ing. Her face was always the •amo. I was a merchant, and this was in the city of M. I called her into the store one evening and gave her pair of shoes. She seemed to be very thankful, but showed a de sire not to take them. I furnished her with some hose, and overcame her scruples and she went away delighted. ! [But on the morrow when she came by me, I noticed that she did not have on the shoes. I became in terested more and more, and 1 formed the determination of be coming better acquainted with her. lam a pretty good judge of trees and I knew that she was an honest girl. It was not long before an oppor t • ity offered itself of which I de . mined to avail myself, One day the girl came by the store on her way home in the mid dle of the day, a very unnsanl thing for her. I followed on the other side of street, a short dis tance off, so that she would not perceive rne. 1 thought she must live some where near at hand ; but in this I was mistaken. She kept on through the streets, without ever stopping. It began to hail and although it heat into my face with great vio lence, the little figure before me never stopped for it. It seemed that she would have sought the protection of some of the build ings on the way. But, no; she had a purpose and nothing could stop her. I noticed that she had a bundle under her arm, and this she was trying to keep from the rain and hail. She did not bestow any at tention upon her own sufferings. I was lost in surprise and admira tion at the nobility of soul that must have belonged to the little figure that walked like a nymph before me. She passed every street without flopping anywhere, and passed on out of the city, through the su ’• trhs, and never stopped until she came to alittlehut about three quar ters of a mile from the ontskirt of the city, and when she came to the door, she did not knock but open ed the door and went in. I did not go to the cabin imme diately, but lingered. I did not know what excuse to give lor in truding ; and not knowing w'bo the cabin might contain, I wished to consider. At last I overcame my ecrupleß, and walking up to the door, I knocked. The little girl came to the door, and though with reluctance she asked me to come in. I went in and the sight that met my view was enough to make the heart ache ! ! TO BE CONTINUED.] (Dm* (Dlifl. A young tellow once ottered to kiss a Quakeress, “Friend,” said she, tlieo must not do it.” “Oil! by Jove! but I must," said the young man. “Well, friend, #s thco hast sworn, tlco may do it; but thee must noi mako rpractice of it.” “Jennie, you aro my sweetkeavt,” said a nine year old suitor, as he sat alone with bis heart’s idol, the other evening. “How can Ibe your sweetheart,” asked the little miss, “when lam 13 years old, and you aro only 9?” “Aro you thirteen?” “Of course I am." “Well,” answer ed the juvenile beau, after reflecting :: !b “I'd fee); thirteen, too, if 1 hams'' lrick so much when 1 was little.” A Briii-li baronet recently failed,and his assets me thus •numerated by the trustees: “A railway rug much worn, a set onyx studs, a pencil-case, an opera glass out of order and useless, a pair o gaiters worn out, a gun-cleaner and cartridge-extractor, a fishing-rod,a silver watch, three pairs of woisted stockings' and a lantern; altogether worth about twenty dollars. There was a rector in England who’ after his establishment in a preached the same sermon to his congregation Sunday after Sunday —a very good sermon, but always the same. At last the f armors sent a depu tation to request a change. “Very well,” said the nctor, "but now ht any one of you tell me all aboiit that sermon.” Not a peisoncould give an account. ’Then,” resumed the clergyman, “I'll continue to preach it till I‘m sure you all know what it con tains.” ITEMS LEFT OVER FROM EAST WEEK’S ISSUE. The Supreme Court of Maine has recently decided that if a person buys a railroad ticket for passage between two given points, he has a right to ride an equal distance anywhere on the road, and in any direction. The press is agitated over the third-term aspirations of General Grant. It is well understood that he is laying ail of his plans to the ac complishment of that end. All the probabilities are that be will be. the next Republican candidate. The papers are vigorously discus sing the subject of a war with Spain, for the possession of Cuba. They have been fighting the Spaniards on paper at intervals ever since the murder of Captain Fry. What cc t on has done for North east Georgia is pithily stated by the Gainesville Eagle, as follows : “Nearly all the formers have fool ishly invested largely in commercial manures, and Northeast Georgia is to day in no better condition than the cotton belt. They have planted cotton and neglected their grain crops, stock and farms, until every thing is run down. They have but little money, and nearly all are more or less in debt. It is estimated that the sugar crop of Louisiana this year will be 45,000 hogs heads greater than for any other season since the war. men the lofty palm tree of Zealand puts forth its flower, the sheath bursts with a report that shakes the forest, but thousands of other flowers of equal value open in the morning and the weary dewdrops hear no sound. Even so many souls do blossom in mercy and the world hears neither whirlwind nor tempest.— [Spurgeon. iftisfdlsnttttts, V A. Citndier, COTTON BUYER, GENEVA, CiLOKGS A.
