Sad Experience.

When Stotsbury was bachelor, he
boarded with Mrs. Smiley, a landlady
who lived. in very large house, the
upper rooms of which were for the most
part, empty. As the cold weather came
on, Stotesbury concluded to buy stove
with which to make himself comforta-
BILE. His room was very small, and he
purchased the most diminutive stove he
could find. 1t certainly would not
hold more than a couple of quarts of
coal. Everybody has seen such stoves
at the stores. There was no stove-pipe
hole in Stotsbury's room, so he had an
aperture punched in the ceiling, with
the intention to use the pipe-hole in the
vacant room above. He got about fif-
teen feet of pipe, and when it was all
fitted below and run through the floor,
he went up to put the end in the CHM
ney. He was surprised to find that the
vacant room also had no stove-pipe-
hole. 1t must be in the attic-room above.
So he bought twenty feet more pipe, cut
another hole in the ceiling, and after
fixing the sections on, he proceeded to
the garret with the intent to run the
pipe into the flue. Imagine Stotesbury's
anger when he found that there was no
hole in the chimney up their eitherl In
fury he ran down stairs to examine
the house from the outside to discover
just where the chimney was situated

The bells were jangling merrily as |
alighted at the church-door; small
crowd had already gathered on the
pavement, drawn together by that keen
foresight of coming excitement charac-
teristic of the human species. "Friend
Of the bridegroom" l whispered to the
yergcr, and was forthwith shown into
the vestry. The clergyman was there
already and shook hands with me in a
vague kind Of way.
"Not the bridegroom" he said in
mild interrogative manner. | told him
that was only one of his friends, and
and we stood looking at each other in
comatose kind of way, till little con-
fusion at the vestry-door broke the
spell. "IIere he comes." whispered
some one; and next moment there ap-

had caught him by the arm and I'D
him into corner, before he recognized
who l was. When he saw ME, thought
he would have tainted. "Don't betray
me-" he whispered.
1 held out my hand with significant
gesture.
"Fivc thousand l whispered. in his
ear.
"You shall have it in five minutes. -
"Your minutes are long ones, Master
Charles" l said.
With trembling fingers, he took out a
pocket-book, andi handed me roll of
notes.
81 meant it for you, Tom," he said.
Perhaps he did,. but we know the fate
of good intentions.
1t didn't takess me long to count over
those notes; there were exactly five
thousand pounds.
"Now," said I, ''Master Charlie, take
yourself off,
"You promised" he urged, "not to
betray me.''
"NO more l will, if you 60"
"She's got ten thousand of her own,"
he whispered.
"Be off or else''-
"No; l WON'T" said Charlie, making
up his mind with desperate effort;
s'I'll not. I'll make clean breast of it,
At that moment there was a bit of
stir, and general call for the BRIDE
groom. The bride had just arrived,
people said. He pushed his way out to
the carriage, and whispered few words
to Isabel, who fell back in faint. There
was a great fuss and hustle, and then
some one came and said that there was
an informality in the license, and that
the wedding couldn't come off that day.

but posted eff to the bank, and got
there just as the board were assembling.

wind of Thrapstow's failure, for the

rough-shod over old Venables, and tyr

how very near shipwreck 1 had been.
As for Trapstow, l presently heard
that, after all, he had arranged with his
creditors, and made it up with Miss
Maidmont. He had a tongue that would
wind round anything, if you only gave
him time, and wasn't much surprised
at hearing that his weddlng-day was
fixed. He hasn't sent me an invitation,

Madame Nilsson, the Swedish Night
ingale, in addition to her other musical
accomplishments, can whistle like Il
mocking-bird. A pondent of the
Arcadian says: SIT is really wonderful
to hear her whistle; no one ever could
do it better. There is nothing she is
fonder of than good romp with lot
of lively children; she makes them all
infatuated with her in less than min
ute, and she kicks up more noise than
an eight horsepower school girl.

A Game for a Winters Even
ing.

Perhaps it is not exactly game, but
it might be easily made into one. do
not know what to call it either, unless
it be a "Journey by the Fireside," or
it may be the "Home Encyclopedia"
The idea is this: Some one selects an
object, any common one whatever, and
questions the other. Take, for example
the first thing before me-a lamp. What
is the lamp made of? What is brass
What is zinc? Where does it come
from? In what shape does it come !?
What color? Does it melt easily or not !?
What is it used for besides to make
brass? So the same series or longer OF
questions about the copper. The base
of the lamp has lead run into it to make
it heavy, and a whole lot more can be
learned about that. Then the chimney
and the shade are glass, and probably
very few can tell anything about so
common a thing as that. The wick is
of cotton. What is cotton? Where is
it grown and all about it? Why is the
wick made hollow, in the form of a
cylinder? Then the oil-there is quite
Il story about that. Here is a single ar
ticle in the room that would keep lot
of bright-eyed youngsters profitably at
work whole evening. Such a looking
up of dictionaries and other books be-
fore some of the questions could be
properly answered, and no doubt some
of the older heads would find them
selves puzzled to answer all OF the
questions that would be put. l hope
some of the boys and girls will
try this, for they will find out in the
first place how little they really know
about the articles they handle and use
every day, and in the second place that
these silent, common things, like some
silent, common people, have history
if they can only be made to tell it. AT
least so thinks your Old Uncle

A Brilliant Record Of Cures.

An American humorist tells us that it would
have been money in his pocket If he had been
born without stomach, and then proceeds to
figure up the cost of chronic dyspepsia. to
which he is martyr, and which he says it Is
impossible to cure. On this point, Josh
Billings" (for he is the party referred toy is
mistaken. Unless his stomach differs from ali
other dyspeptic stomachs, Hostetter's Bitters
will cure him in less than three months. This
1t would be safe to guarantee under any penalty.
There are few, very few, actual specifics
for disease in existence, and Hosteter's Stomach
Bitters may be set down as one of them. In
cases of indigestion it never fails. Persons
who had suffered for many years almost every
conceivable species Of torture from this agoniz-
ing complaint, have been permanently cured
with the Bitters in six weeks. Hundreds of
such instances are on record, authenticated by
the testimony ofprominent men in every walk
of life, eminent physicians among the number.
But this celebrated vegetable preparation is
something more than a stomachic and tonic

A Double Serenade

Wednesday night was bracing with cool
breezes and lovely with bright moonlight, and
while ensconced in eur "little bed" with eye
lids weighted down with the slumber of sweet
repose and the mind locked in drowsiness and
calm forgetfulness, voices of song and the
matchless melody of the guitar,
Game DER my ear like the sweet south
That breathes upon bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor."
These were masculine serenaders, and as they
moved away, their places were soon filled with
other forms and faces, fairer by odds; other
voices, softer, more tender, yea Prima Donnas,
while the guitar strings, touched with lily
white hands, trembled with the burden of sweet
symphonies, gushing melody and bewitching
pathos.
wherever rage can move or pity melt,
The language Of song is known and felt.
Gentle serenaders, many thanks and may
you in generous rivalry again come and camp
around us and a0right royalty awaken us to the
passionate power of musies spell.

THE CONCERT.
Marietta Flooded with Music.

The Beethoven Society and Freyer's Orches-
ira, of Atlanta, in accordance with a previous
notice. gave one of their superb musical enter
tainments at the Court House on Tuesday even
ing to large, intelligent, well-behaved andap-
preciative audience. Fair women and brave
men, beauty and chivalry, were there, and soft
eyes, like stars, slone on us from the heaven
of lovely faces, and music with its sweet swell
and pleasing decadence, greeted the lovers of
the "divine art" with fascinating qualification.
The vocal and instrumental music rendered
was of high order, equalled by few and ex-
celled by none. Prof Freyer deserves the
thanks of our citizens for this rich treat of
"sweet sounds" The performance was adj
mirably arranged and the execution conducted
with precision, skill and good taste, rejecting
credit upon all. The Society and Orchestra
consist Of about fifty members, and they re-
ceved many encomiums and repeated applause.
After the entertainment, the dining room of the
Kennesaw House was thrown open and under
the inspiring strains of rich music. nimble feet
threaded the mazes of the merry dance, until a
late hour.
