And while we seek the roses. The thorns mil oft we scan; Still let us, though they wound us. Be happy as we can. This life has heavy crosaes As well as Joys to share, And griefh and disappointments Which you and 1 must besr. Yet, if misfortune's lsvs Entombs hope’s desrest plsn, Lot us, with whst is left ns, Be happy as we can. The sum of our enjoyment Is made of little things, As oft the broadest rivers Are formed from smallest springs. By treasuring small waters The rivers reach their epau; Bo increase our pleasures Enjoying what we can. There may be burning deserts Through which our feet must go, But there are greeu roses -- Where pleasant palin trees grow. And if we may not follow The path our hearts would plan, Let us make all around ns As happy as we can. Perhaps we may not climb with Ambition to its goal. So let us answer ••Present' When duty calls the roll ! And, whatever appointment. Be nothing less than man. And, cheerful in submission, Be happy aa we can. THK STOinfF A KING. It seeinod to me the most ufortu uate position in the world. I bud arrived, about ten minutes before, at the bouse of an aunt whom I had never seen, and who was sick. I was to be ber nurse and compan ion. Her servant had shown me into this wretched trap, as I now called it, in un anguish of spirit, though it was really a pretty, cheerful little roera, opened by a curtained arch from the parlor, informing me that the house keeper would be there immediately tpeouduct meto my auut. Aud here was I, an utter stranger, assisting at a lovers’ quarrel. It wo persons bad entered the room an instant after I had seated myself. It was twilight, and the lamps were not yet lighted. I was wholly invisi ble, and they evidently imagined themselves to possess the solitude befitting their conversation. “The farce may as well end here,” had said a woman’s voice at the mo ment of her crossing the threshold. “For my part I am weary of the play. I no longer love you, and I will not pretend affection, merely to feed your vanity, which is as limited as your impertinencein persisting in at tentions that you see I detest.” it was the most intolerably proud voice That could be imagined. “I still love you, and you know it. And have far too much faith in your former professions to credit the words put in your rnowth by the aDger of an unfortunate moment. You are utter ly mistaken in your supposition. My love for you is always ” “Four love for me! Your love/" with an acceut of angry Scorn that delies description. “Never dare to mention to me again a word that you cannot comprehend. It is an insuit to me to hear it—an insult that I will not endure. Aud to cure your appre hension of my repentance let me tell you that I. who know the meauing of this word that you uttter so glibly—/ love someone else.” She stepped swiftly to the window and threw it open. There was an in stant’s silence. There was audible the rustic of her sleeve as she tossed something from her with force. “I have thrown your ring away,” she explained with a nonchalance iu extraordinary contrast with her for mer violence. “I threw it toward the cistern. Possibly it has slipped through some crevice or other, and down into the water. I hope so. In that case it Is Impossible that the sight of it can ever again insult me with the remembrance that f have worn it. Permit me to wish you an exceedingly good evening!” It was easy to imagine the mocking reverence of the courtesy she now swept him; then she was gone. Im mediately after, and silently, he also left, the apartment. They did not go too soon, whoever they were. A cold perspiration dampened my forehead; I really trembled. The vehemence of the feelings engaged, the certainty felt by the actors of their complete iso lation, and my own innocent guilt in overhearing, all quite overpowered me. Half a minute did not elapse after the last sound of the gentleman’s footsteps before the parlor door again opened, an#* a prim litthe wo man entered, with a lamp in her hand. She looked in all the corners, as one might search,for a dropped pocket-handkerchief, and at last per ceived the new-comer. “Ah, miss, I have kept you wait ing quite a time, to be sure! But your aunt took a sudden notion to put mustard draughts on her ankles —though Hr. Kichardson bad just gone, and he never thought of order ing them!-and have *6ll she must. And I supposed you’d be comforta ble here. ’ “Quite comfortable, thank yon. The servant said you would come !reently.” “Wall, you’d best have some tea before you see your aunt. She told me to give you some. I shall try to find something you like; though what with ail these people flying about the bouse that have got no business here—this company, I mean —I don’t know whether lam on my head or feet.” I received the refreshments she brought me gratefully, after which I was conducted to my aunt’s rooom. Consideration for the feelings of other people was not one of the old lady’s characteristics, and after a few disparaging remarks on my per- THE DAILY TIMIX ... urui r * u sonal appearance. I was dismissed for the night. The sun waa just risen next, morn ing when I took courage to step out side nd look about me. The gruss was very wet with dew, but how it sparkled in that fresh light! All at once I stopped aud stared before me. There, glittering ir. the grass, lava ring. 1 stood like ouo fascinated, gazing at it very foolishly, fori knew well what ring it was. Presently I heard someone calling far off, and not stopping to think, I picked the ring up, ami run back to the house, alt trembling. At breakfast I endeavored to dis cover the hero und heroine of last evening’s drama. Two of the ladies were sisters, tall, languid blonds, very beautifully dressed, and very dainty. They trifled elegantly with their knives and forks, and carried on airy Summer morning flirtations with two gentlemen, who were each dark, and, like the ladies, dressed with care a little too exquisite. The third lady, Miss Huntington, was a little person, with soft, pleasant, vivacious manners, iu whoso conver sation was always a concealed sar casm. But it was far too iudiiterejot and too good-natured to belong to the lady of last night. Besides, her sweet mocking voice was different as possible from the deep, passion ate tones that had so thrilled me. And of the four gentlemon present, certainly not one at all resembled the portrait I had painted for my hero. I was puzzled, aud felt sadly guilty again as I thought of the ring lying all silently there in my pocket and carrying every where with it a story which I knew and had no right to know. Day followed day, _and the days melted gradually into weeks. When the novelty of my position was over, It proved not nearly so terrible ns it bad seemed at llrst. Aunt Agnes said many harsh things, but she did not mean them all, and the good ness of her heart compensated in some measure for the asperities of her tongue, I saw u great deal of Dr. Richard son. He was more than kind. He thought ray life lonesomo and joy less, and brought me many books that I had longed for, and interested himself in little thiDgs that hap pened, talking with me often, and always leuving me happier than he found me. But there was one thing that troubled me much. I sometimes fancied—and with unaccountable distress—that In Dr. Richardson I had found the owner of the ring. Certain tones of his voice pierced me like a sudden pain, they carried mo back so vividly to that unfortunate hour in the dim little alcove. Yet when I looked into his face again, and into his eyes, so content, so frankly happy, this imagination melted into a sweeter dream. But it returned aguin and again, aud al ways with deeper pain. The visitors I found on my arrival wore long since gone. Miss Hunt ington lived in the neignborhood; and it would, perhaps, be proper to say that we were become quite inti mate. had not all the talk and reve lation been on her side. I, for mv part, had had no adventures, and ft seemed to me not interesting to offer theories to one who epulu narrate facts. One day she upbraided me for my want, of confidence, but I really had nothing to tell, until at last I be thought myself of the story of the ring. “How very curious!” cried Miss Huutingtori, when 1 had ended, her brown eyes oi>euing wide. “Do let me see it. I shall certainly know it if I have ever seen it before.” So I took it from the case where it lay glittering and pnt it into her hands. And it. was with a strange, foolish pang tiiat I saw her examine it, and heard her chatter concerning it. She looked at it with unfeigned interest. “It la really beautiful.”" she said, “and most uncommon.. No, there is not one among my acquaintance that I have ever seen wear such a ring. It is iheodtlest thing! And it all happened the evening you ar rived ? ’ She had turned quite away from me, and was looking out of the win dow. I could not see her face at all. "Miss Huntington,” I said, grave ly, with an emotion which I conceal ed as well as I was able, “will you answer me a question truthfully?” “Any question that a friendshould ask I will answer truthfully.” She did not turn toward me as she spoke. “Well, then, whs it not you your self that threw this ring away?’ r Now she did turn, aud looked me frankly in the eyes. “Truthfully, it was not I.” “Thank you—oh, thank you.” Why did I furitively kiss the ring? Why, if she had said “Yes.” would.!, in turn, have thrown it paSsiohately away? Ah! the reader guesses. It was perhaps a fortnight after that that I sat alone at my window watching the sun set beyond the hills, white with snow, but seeing it as one sees iu a dream. All ray thoughts were wandering toward a happy hour last evening.- when Dr. Richardson had asked me to be his wife. From thence the days fled by like a dream. They were so happy, but so short-that was all I had to com plain of; and they too rapidly brought near a day that I longed for and yet dreaded. And—it is a sad confession—for the first time in my life I looked at myself often in the mirror. It seemed as if I had sud denly grown almost pretty. There wasa pink color in my cheeks; my pale eyes had darkened and bright ened. One day—think how foolish! —I really leaned over and kissed my own lips; it seemed so delightful to be a little handsome that I felt grateful to the mirror. "Do not you wish I were beautiful?” I said, one afternoon, to Dr. Rich ardson, with a wistful longing that he should tell me he thought me so. We were standing near the open door of the parlor, just as he was taking leave. “Indeed I do not,” he answered, frankly. “I love you just as you are.” - > That was pleasant, but not what I wished to hear. “But do not you wish I were as handsome as—Miss Huntingdon for instance ?” I persisted. “Think how bright and laughing her brown eyes art*) And what a gipsy color rises in her cheeks when stie is excited! Bhe looks afl.iine sometimes.” “She does indeed,” said Dr. Rich ardson, smiling; “but I am not a salamander. I have no wish that you should resemble her. Miss Hunting don irtoo’ 7 “Too excellent for this world!” cried that lady’s laughing voice out side. She had just entered the hall, and stopped a moment at the parlor COLUMBUS, GrA., SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1876. door. “Good afternoon. Dr. Rich ardson. Is the patient up-stalrs bet ter to-day ? I am on my way to see her. I shall not tako you with me, Agnes, in order to earn Dr. Richard son’s good opinion over again—for once he had a good opinion of me.” She looked up at him sidewise and laughed. She was wonderfully prey y this afternoon—all sparkle and glow. There was an instant’s, but only an instant’s, odd constraint in Dr. Rich ardson’s manner; then ho said, quite gravely, “Y6u have not forfeited my good opinion, Miss Huntingdon.” “The truth is, Dr. Richardson,” said Miss Huntingdon, her face all lighted with saucy, inward laughter; “the truth is, you owe me a debt of gratitude deeper than you ever can repay. Tell me now frankly, if it were not for me, would you be at this moment the happy man you are ?” “Frankly, I would not ” Dr. Richardsou was very serious. Even Miss Huntingdon seemod to veil some feeling under her gay mauuer. I was troubled. “Why do vou two talk in riddles ?” I asked. “Do not you both know that I have no talent for guessing ?” “At least you shall not cultivate it just now, dear,” said Miss Hunting don. “Dr. Richardson will tell yon when lam gone. I must go to your aunt. It does her good to scold me.” Sho turned away and moved a stop or two, and then looked back with a changed face. “Agnes,” she said, wistfully, “would you mind kissing me ?” “Mind kissing you? What a ques tion! But you are not going away immediately?” “Oh, I don’t know. Perhaps I had better bid you good-by now.” She kissed me twice. “Good-by!” she said. Absolutely the spurk in her eyes was quenched in dew! “Agnes,’’she said, with an odd sort of half-laughing seriousness, if you should ever come to think that Ananias'wasa mora lc.haracter in com parison to myself, it would be impos sible for you to love me any more, would it not? But let ino assure you, my dear, that some stories are told with the best possible intentions.” Then she lelt us, “What can sljp mean, dear?” I asked, turning in wonder to Dr. Rioh ardsen. He led mo to the chair I had quit ted, aud piaoiug mo there again, stood before me. “Agnes, she means to confess to you something that you need never nave known; and yet, perhaps it is better that you should. She meuns that I onoe loved her.” He went on talking for a few minutes, but Ido not know wlmt he said. My hands were cold, and ob jocts'jbefore my eyes were blurred. She had deceived me. It wus to her and to him I had listened that oveningso long ago. He had loved her, I who had heard him declare it, knew the depth of sincerity in the voice that told her so. Had he sought my love only as a solace (ortho wound she had inflicted? Friend and lover—were both to fail me? "Have you nothing to say, Agnes? Whv do you not answer me?" “Wait for me one moment,” I re plied, hearing my voice, but hardly recognizing ir, “I will answer when I return,” I left him abruptly, going slowly up stairs, my heart feeling broken. I got the ring, and came down again, not trembling at all, quite quiet, with that dreadful calm which accepts de spair. In the blind jealousy of the moment it seemed impossible that lie could really love her. “It is usual, I believe,” I said, with some sort of a smile, "to break an en gagement by returning a ring. Would you like that ours should be broken so ? This is your ring, is it not ?” “What do mean, Agnes? Where did you get this ring ?” cried Dr. Richardson, in great surprise. “I was in the alcove there the night that Miss Huntingdon threw it away. I found it in the garden next morn ing. I heard all that yon both said. But she has deceived me. She said, when I asked her, that this ring was never hers. And you have deceived me; you told me that you loved me.” In another moment the sob in my voice would have given place to mis erable childish tears; but Dr. Rich ardson folded mo in his arms and kissed me, laughing. That comfort ed mo more than any words could have done. “Poor trusting little one!” he cried. The whole world is against you, is it not? I shall play my role to the end, however, and say that I love you for ever.. And cannot you forgive Miss Huntingdon? Is not she right when she says that I owe my happiness to her? And she may have told the story that grieVes you for the very purpose of making us happy. Can not you forgive her ?” Yes. When he had talked to me an hour or two, jiarticularly when he had reassured me as to the grounds upon which I held his love, I freely forgave her. Sitting there in the de licious twilight, with that dear voice soundiDg so lovingly in my ears, whom and what could not have for given ? And then, in the dusk, I heard her light footstep on the stair, and the rustle of her dress, “Come in, dear Miss Huntington.” I cried, “and let me kiss you once more. I haveyour ring on my finger, and love you more than I ever did in my life.” And we have been friends all our days until now. —. — • ♦ • • Hint mu a FI erlit “In a More -mil-far tory Manner.” Waco, Texas, Sept. 5.— A party composed of Walter Turner, Edward Brown and Thompson, from Kauf man county, had been on the Brazos several days with horses. On Thurs day last Frank and Lacy Robinson, Taylor Campbell and Wyliy Norman, of Hill county, went to the camp and got into a dispute about a race, which resulted in a fist-tight. The parties agreed to settle the thing in a more satisfactory manner. At 10 o’clock on Friday morning, when the parties hadapproached within twenty yards of each other, Taylor Cambell tired at Turner and the battle com menced. Turner leaped from his horse and fired three shots with his needle-carbine. The first shot went through Campbell’s brain, the second caused the instant death of Frank Robinson and the last shot mortally wounded Lacy Robinson; by this time a ball from Thompson’s revolver had passed through poor Norman’s breast, a boy aged seven teen years; and all of the Hunt oouu ty party laid weltering in their blood. Some twenty shots were fired alto gether. More than half of the shots were tired by the Hill countv party, but strange to 3ay none of the Kauf man county mien, all boys, none of them being more than nineteen or twenty years of age, were hurt. THK TURKISH SITUATION. TIIK MULTAN DEMANDS INDEMNITY UK TRIBUTE. The “Power*” YYUI Not Niikihlu III* Demands. 11A1NH INTERFERING WITH THE CAM PAIGN. London, Sept. 16.—A Constantino ple dispatch announces that the sixth point in Iho Turkish basis of peace, which was undecipherable in the telegram received here yesterday, stipulates for the payment by Servia of a war indemnity, without fixing the amount, or in lieu thereof an in crease of Servia’s annual tribute. Although tho Porte has refused to grant an armistice, it is understood that it would consent to a suspen sion of hostilities. Ragusa, Sept. 16. —1 t has rained in cessantly in this section for the past three days, and no fighting has oc curred in that time. London, Sept. 18 -A Belgrade dis patch says rain hfa% been incessant for two days. Morava valley is a swamp, and by systematically burn ing the villages, the Turks have de stroyed what would have been their shelter. Important military opera tions are now impossible. The Servians have supplies for a year’s campaign at Doligrade and Alexlnatz. Tho Turks aro obliged to haul everything from Niscli. Their withdrawal to Nisch is expected. Tho Times additionally says; The European powers cannot permit Tur key to reoccupy the fortresses which she held up to 1857. A Vienna special to tho News, says: Germany will not support Russia’s demand on Turkey, and in case of war will remain absolutely neutral. The Timex publishes a letter from Mr. Gladstone, on Derby’s speeches. Gladstone finds fault with the Gov ernment formally protecting and remonstrating, and concludes: “The time has come to say you must let Europe define what is just and then enact it,” Gladstone expresses the belief that circumstances now de mand the early re-assembliug of Par liament. London, Bept„ 18.—A dispatch from Bt. Petersburg to Reuter’s Telegram Cos., says: The existence of a treaty between Russia and Germany, pro viding for the settlement of tile East ern Austria in case of war, is offi dally denied. THE SERVIANS CLAIM ADVANTAGES. London. Sept. 16.—A dispatch to Reuter’s Telegram Cos., from Bel grade, says the batallions of Turks were near Greditin, Southwest of Alexinatz, on Thursday. The Ser vians also claim that Gen. Horvata vieh has turned the Turkish position by crossing Zastabatz Hoights, and that Col. Myrokowish, tho com mander of the army of the Drina, has defeated 'the Turks and driven them across the Drina, recaptured the Serviun redoubts at Little Zwor wick, which had been taken by the Turks. It is asserted that Servia has obtained sixty thousand muskets and several niitruilleures from Russia. THE LONDON TIMES THREATENS TURKEY —“THE POWERS THAT PROTECT MUST COMMAND.” London, Sept. 16.—The Timex to day, in a leading article on the Turk ish peace conditions, concludes as follows; “Although the Porte has said its last word, the great Powers have not said theirs. It remaias for them to signify by a collective act what terms of peace are admissible, und Turkay will indeed have begun a new chap ter of her history if she should resist their united counsels. Her unbend ing attitude almost warrants the sus picion that to save her own dignity in the presence of her vassal she is waiting for the pressure of those powers which, as they protect, must also command. It would b<j gratify ing to them that in such a crisis the temper of our foreign office is firm onough, and its purpose sufficiently decided, to be truly representative of the nation; but Mr. Gladstone’s let ter is a formidable indictment, and if the foreign office should continue to resist tho popular wishes, his de mand for an autumn session of Par liament may speedily become tiiut of the country,” THE WAR CLOUD AND THE MONEY MARKET. EUROPEAN STOCKS DECLINED. London, Sept. 16.— American Gov ernment’s were firm and advanced i to J. Some American railway’s how ever, receded to-day. There was considerable excitement in the market in consequence of the uncer tainty of the Eastern question. Prices show a general fall. Consols declined 3-16 to 5-16. English rail ways were also lower. The foreign market was generally heavy. The principal changes were as follows: Russian declined itol i; Hungarian and Turkish 1 to Toward the close Bnglish railways and Hungarian re covered somewhat., but Turkish and Russian further relapsed J to J.

Half a million of the four-and-a half bonds were substituted yester day. D. B. Bean, a merchant of Pater son, N. J., with liabilities to the amount of $319,621, has called a meet ing of his creditors. The referee in the suit of Victoria Woodhull for absoluto divorce from Col. Blood, on the grounds of adult ery, has reported recommending tha judgment asked. [lt would seem that Vic. douted “free love” to Blood. Tho East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad bridge over the Tennessee river at London wus fin ished yosterduy, and two passenger and six freight trains passed over. At a meeting of the creditors of the city of Memphis in New York, yes terday, a com mitteo of bondholders were appointed to hold a conference with the Mayor of Memphis and agree upon some settlement. There were 9R891 pay admissions to the Ceutonnial yesterday. It is feared that Paymaster John Breeze, who has been on duty with the Atlantic squadron for four years, has been robbed and murdered. Commanders of vessels of the North Atlhntic stations have been instructed to have their vessels thor oughly disinfected, also to keep their vessels isolated from merchant ships. The Pennsylvania Coal Company will sell on Wednesday next, 100,000 tons of coal to Albany. John Walton, Proprietor of tho London Timex, reached New York yesterday on his way t.o Niagara Falls. The Now York State Fair, though one of the best exhibitions ever held, is found to liavo been a failure finan cially. The Centennial fair affected this aud other home enterprises disas trously. Yellow Fever In llaltiniiirr. New York, Sept. 16.—A special to % the World from Baltimore, 15th says : “The greatest apprehensions prevail hero to-duv on account of tho preva lence of some 15 cases of yellow fever in the eastern section of the city, in the loeulity and adjacent to the ship wharves were hundreds of seafaring men were found lodging. Nothing was known of the presence of the epidemic until to-day. THE REPORT CONTRADICTED. Baltimore, Sept. 16. -A telegram having been sent from this city sta ting that yellow fever prevailed here and great apprehension was felt, the Mayor and Health Department were applied to this forenoon for an official statement of facts. The May or, General Ferdinand C. Latrobe, states that no cases of yelow fever prevails in Baltimore, that official reports were made to him up to last evening from Dr. Stewart, Health Coimnisioner, aud Dr. Howard, Quarantine Physician, and not one case of yellow fever was reported or has occurred. In liis report submitted yesterday, Dr. Stewart states that typtio-mala rial fever prevailed to some extent in a locality in East Baltimore fronting tho back basin in a tenement house at the foot of Thames, Dallas and Caroline streets; that he visited this locality yesterday and found twelve or thirteen cases of this fever, which originated from the bad sanitary con dition of the neighborhood, most of which were improving. Persons suf fering were not stevedores, and none of the eases could in any way be traced to shipping in the harbor. Tho disease is endemic and disap pears on thorougn disinfection of the locality, which has been applied. Noulli Farollim llailleal*.

Elliot, for Attorney General. All but the last named are present officers. This Awfully Dry Weather. The world has seldom been dryer than it is now. The dust is flying in all direc tions, and vegetation of all sorts is languishing for moisture. Tho streams aro ail exceedingly low and without rain soon, stock will begin to suffer for water in many sections. But this is not all; per sons owning valuable property should see that it is well covered by insurance, for fire is hard to stop when everything about is like tinder. Cotton Gins and houses es pecially should bo insured, and tho Times' advertising columns will show the best place to get sound policios. The Weather To-Day. A hurricane centre will probably approach the North Carolina coast, and' increasing Northeast to North west winds, coolor, cloudy and rainy weather, with falling barometer will prevail, in the South Atlantic States. In the Gulf States, falling barome ter, North winds, possibly veering to East with partly cloudy and slight ly warmer weather. Aii Important Change.

Wo hear a great deal about the bit terness of the Democratic press partisan bitterness of the Democratic orators and Southern people. All these —the press, tho speakers aud the people may, we think, be ex cused for much bitterness. But few tyrants tand these the worst) have refused to the oppressed victims the voice of complaint. The Jewish cap tives uttered their bitterness and huuged their harps upon the wil lows, and refusing to sing, and the good have never blamed them. Job was bitter and his Maker never con demned him for his wailing bitter ness. Let the conqueror be just if not magnanimous, before lie com plains that the conquered who have tost all of their rights aud pro perty are bitter. Wo try to be just, and that is all that our opponents have the rigtit to ask. Wo admit that most of tho rank and file of the Republican party are as honest, as disinterested, as patriotic as Demo crats, and that at the North they are as wealthy, educated and intelligent, but we cannot make this latter ad mission at the South. We know that the body of tho party is ignorant aud uninformed,and worse,thut they are deluded aud led mainly by office holders and office seekers direotly and pecuniarily interested in their votes. No sensible man believos, that the Southern States have been fairly and justly dealt with by the Radical party as a government, or by the leaders individually or person ally. Ever) one now believes that the constitutions forced on tho South ern States by unconstitutional recon struction laws, were outrageous aud people's money, because, forsooth, some of our people aud some of our States are beuelltted by the expendi ture ? Shall wo withhold the ex posure of criminal officers, and de cline to hold the party responsible, because in our midst, tho party of fice-holders are honest and capable? We have great respaot for honest and faithful men in public position, but us there caunot be ten found in the Republican Sodom, ail that can be done will he to urge the individually honest and reputable to fly to tho mountains, and not to stop to look back at Hayes and Wheeler. There are many personally good men in the Radical party; that aro doubtless disgraceful to free government. We all believe that tho system of Feder al luxation was intended to benefit the North and exact upon the South. We ull know that as far as possible even now all our best men are ostracised, and us far as the Government was concerned, interdicted from partici pation in it. Aud now when tbe whole rank and file of both parties, the people, stand aghast at public crime and public peculation, fraud and dishonesty, shall we, because we are Democrats and because some milk and water trimmers and time-servers —some loaf-lovers are afraid and say we are too bitter to withold the naked truth—shall we cry peace where war is imminent? Shall wo cease to de nounce a party that Is wasting the faithful officers appointed aud now discharging their duty, but the prin ciples of the party are subversive of the rights of tho people; tho admin istration of the party is corrupt aud demoralizing, tho system is rotten and cannot bo reformed, and the hon est and good men of the uarty must choose between the pain of separat ing from old party associations or boariug the humiliation of the pub lic exposure of their party leaders. — Lynchburg News. Woman'* Work. The ono duty of the race is its own elevation. Man does this indirectly by material work; woman does it di rectly by moral work. Thousands of men would find themselves with out profit under the sun, except the accumulation of stupid and useless fortunes, were it not for the wonder ful wives at home, who transmute this fortune into intelligence, educa tion, elegance and so give the family position and power. Thousands of men, left to themselves, could oDly compass their own grave-stones, but east by kindly fate into the hands of able women, tbe quarried rock is fashioned into a monument more du rable than brass,intoalivingtemple, whose corner-stone is sure, whose head-stones shall be brought forth with shoutings, whose “Dome of many colored glass Stains tho white radiance of eternity.” —Gail Hamilton. TilUon anil Hayes. Washington, Sept. 16.—A most amazing occurrence In the National Theatre to-night, Is probably attrib utable to the large number of visitors in the dity. The pictures of Hayes and Tiiden were displayed during the play. Hayes’ was as heartily hissed as Tiiden was applauded. IM COMMERCIAL. vmi.llT .i.i.f j my.
