I intended fleeing from the world which
was so dark. Her words and others reach
ed me. hesitated in my purpose them
A little longer and she smiled on me; thai
smile was my salvation. Do you wonder
that to me she is more than ever woman
was before? Until to-day I have never met
her since that night, shall seek al intro
duction; and if fortune favors me I shall
thank you for my happiness.
There was no bitterness in his tone. She
would have liked it better, if there had
been. .~-
That night at the Presidents reception,
she saw him by Louisa Clifton.
She knew he was happy; and that he
would grow daily happier. The gentle wo-
man was smiling upon him. Smiles not
deceiving, but s sweet and encouraging com-
ing not alone from lip and eye, but from
the pure spirit within
Before the close of the session, Florence
read the announcement Of the approaching
nuptials Of Cecil Delmar and the woman i've
had loved as she knew she had not been
loved.
She left the gay capital sadder and dis
appointed woman. Life had taught her the
severe lesson that wealth and position can.
not satisfy the hearts yearning.

MADE HIM PAY.-When General Jack
son was President heartless clerk in the
Treasury Department ran up an indicted
ness with poor landlady to $50, and then
turned her off as he did other creditors
She finally went to the President with her
complaint, and asked him if he could not
compel the clerk to pay the bill.
HE offers his note" she said, 'but his.
note is good for nothing
Said the President: "Get his note and
bring it to me.''
The Clerk gave her the note with the Jeer-
ing request that "she would let him know
when she got the money on it,
Taking it to the President he wrote ''An-
drew jackson" on the back Of it, and told
her she would get the money at the bank.
When it became due the clerk refused to
pay the note, but when be learned who the
endorser was, he made haste to "raise the
wind" The next morning he found a note
on his desk saying that his services were no
longer needed by the government it
served him right.

The Coming Man.

While our fine girls are bemoaning The
lack of young iDeu and the scarcity of beaux
who ale manageable and who mean mar
riage, there is class of young men whom
they Go not recognize at all, yet will fur
nish to the next generation its men of enter
prise, of power, of position, and of wealth.
1t is not the sons of the rich who will, as
rule, remain rich. The sons of the poor
will get rich !: and these are, to day, drudg
ing in Offices, and counting rooms, and store
houses, and machine shops, and printing
establishments; the men who, in twenty-five
years, will control the nation socially, poit
ically. and financially. Every man of them
means to be married; they will. as rule,
make excellent husbands; they are al at
work trying to win success They are men
who would be easily improved by recog-
milton and by bringing them into good, in-
telligent society; yet they are as little no.
ticcd as if they were SO many dogs Virtu.
GUS young men from the country come into
the city and live for years without any soci-
ETY., and are regarded by the fashionable
young ladies with Indifference or contempt !;
but those young men have hold upon the
future, and when the success is won, in
whatever field of enterprise it may be, the
fashionable may be glad to receive them as
belonging to their own number. We regret
to say, as rule, the young men for whom
a position has been won by virtuous and en-
terprisi1g fathers, amount to but little in
the world and we rejoice to say compan-
ions chosen from those who have their for
tunes to make and their positions to win,
are those to whom a we'll bred woman can
generally with safety entrust her happiness
and herself

his Sunday School lesson. It was from the
fourteenth chapter of Mathew, wherein is
related the parable of malicious individual
who went about sowing tares:
"What is tare? Tell me my son, what
tare ?" asked the anxious parent.
"You had 'em.''
"Johnny, what do you mean ?" asked the
father opening his eyes rather wide.
"Why last week you didn't come home
for three days." said Johnny, and I heard
mother tell aunt Susan that you were on
tare"
Johnny was Immediately sent off to bed.

To KEEP Milk SwEEr.-In very warm
weather, when it is difficult to preserve milk
from becoming sour and spelling the cream,
it may be kept perfectly sweet by soalding
the new milk very gently with boiling, and
putting it away in the earthen pan or dish
in which it has been scalded. This method
is adopted in all the large dairies in Eng
land, and particularly in Devonshire. Cream
already skinned may be kept quite sweet
for twenty-four hours if scalded, but if as
much powdered loaf sugar be added as will
sweeten it, and then scalded, it will keep
in cool place for two days.

of lime, which should be wet enough to form
a kind of paste. For the purpose of disin-
fectants, this homemade chloride of lime is
nearly as good as that purchased at the
shops and drug stores. Use it freely about
sinks, cellars, cutters and out-houses, and
in this way prevent sickness, suffering and

APPLE TREE BoRERs--A correspondent
OF the Rmal Nea0 Yorker says that he has
prevented the attack Of apple tree borers by
putting bushel of tan-bark around the
stem of each tree. The tan-bark answers
the double purpose of keeping out the borers
and mulch For weeds grow through it, and
the writer states that he has never known a
tree to be attacked around which heap of
tan-bark was constantly kept Ounce trees,
treated, in the same way, thrive admirably
and are free from borers. Before putting
the tan-bark around, throw a quart of I'M
clean ashes and salt, half and half around
the tree.

A srUpID MISREPRESENTATION.

A friend has called our attention to a
tupid false hood in the /" Educational Year
Book, " published by A. S. Barnes & Co.
We give the following extract, in refer
ence to Tennessee:
The State is embarrassed for want of means
to develope, as they ought to be, her school re-
sources. The Eastern portion is filed with vice
and ignorance, which, if the Light of education
could shine through, might become a halo Of
glory. The mind of these uneducated people
is like rich ground run to waste 1t is crying
shame that SO much good material should
be allowed to go unculGvated."
If this is specimen of the Education
al Year Book" it is of very little value.
We are deficient enough in education if
the truth were told, without any exagger-
alton. But that East Tennessee is so far
behind other portions of the State or that
1t is filed with vice and ignorance" is so
utterly false as to need no denial. We
have no idea that A. S. Barnes & Co.
would make wilful Misrepresentation,
but that they rely on some stupid block
head for at least a portion of their infor-
nation is evident.

THE MERCHANTS TAX.

Our readers are aware with what tenaci-
ty the merchants of Memphis have OPP
posed the present mode of collecting
State taxes on their business. They have
commended that the law as it now stands is
unjust, and that it places burdens on them
not common to other taxpayers. They
recently carried their grievances before the
Supreme Court, which body rendered de-
cision last Saturday.
The following extract shows the grounds
upon which the act Of the Legislature
taxing merchants is held constitutional:
We find that the Constitution has placed
no restriction upon the Legislature IN the
exercise of the power to tax merchants, ped
dlers and privileges, and we are bound to pre-;
sumo that their power was left thus unrestricted
under the conviction that the representatives Of
the people would not abuse the power by un-
Just or oppressive taxation. Whether this pow
er has been abused or not in the enactment OF
the statute under consideration, it is not for US
to determine But it is our province to deter
mine whether the Legislature has transcribed
its legislative power, and being satisfied that
they have not, we so declare.

Lassitude and Debility.

Tho relaxation of nervous energy which creates an
indsposition to physical mental effort strong
almost to amount to positive inability, and which we
term asstude proceeds from variety of causes. The
principal of these constitutional debility, heat Of
the atmosphere, coupled with humidity, climatic
changes and the physical prosraon consequent upon
long illness. But whatever the cause is, it must BIO
perfectly clear that if the system is unduly
laxed, something is required to brace it up. That
something is Hostteter Bitters, which is universally
recognized the most complete and speedy recuper
ant of the physical forces in existence 1t has boon
thoroughly and widely demonstrated to be matter
of positive certainty and familiar knowledge that the
Bitters will rot only rehsbiitate the physique, when
shattered and wasted by disease but will Also if taken
systematically actually compensate the constitution
ally feeble frame for its deficiency of strength, and by
infusng new life into weak system, endoW it with the
health and vigor which Nature has den ed it. The
Bitters also enable the body to resist tho enervang
influences Of heat, humidity, and changes from tenn
perate to hot climate It is these accounts spe-
cay to be recommended to travellers and residents in
the torrd and persons subjected to abrupt tran
sitions in temperature.

a MALIGNANT RUMOR.

On Friday morning of last week, mean
paragraph appeared in our Associated Press
dispatches, to the effect that the relief goods
for Chicago sufferers had been lost or sto-
len in the general order stores Of the New
York Custom House. It was a mere ru-
NOR, but sufficient for the partisan agent
of the Associated Press at Washington to
take up and send the vile falsehood into
every part of the country. We have no
idea that the thought of doing this origi-
mated with him. He was prompted by
the enemies of the Administration, who
are malignant enough to send out a calunl-
NOUS falsehood that has no shadow of q
foundation in fact.
The New York Euening Post, an anti
administration paper, but one that is usu-
ally fair in its caurse, contradicts the ru-
NOR, and gives the facts in the case. The
goods have all been heard from, and the
General Order stores were in nowise re-
sponsible for their detention. There new 2
was any ground for assuming that they
were, but Democratic papers could SO
charge, and there is not one in ten of them
with manliness enough to make retrac-
ton. There is corruption in the New
York custom house, we have no doubt. 1t
has always been so and always will be so
until all men become honest. But cor
ruption there does not justify falsehood on
the paat Of those who would iniure the
administration by exaggerated stories
about that which has never happened.
