FTDELIA'S FORTUNE.

Who that had passed by the Kings
lands fine and brilliantly lighted house
on the evening Of Miss Harcourt's fete
could have imagined that an aching
heart. and the dark and unkind passion
that makes aching hearts, existed with
in those dazzling wallsP
Light streamed through the windows

guests were arriving and departing the
avenue, the grand avenue Of the town,
was animated with the concourse; and
n crowd q eager people, encouraged
by the halmy air Of the late spring night,
pressed into tho shrubbery under the
ballroom windows. and stood gaping
with unfeigned admiration at the fitting
figures Of the dance.
All the windows of the two lower
stories. besides the wing in which the
ballroom lay, we're lighted. Above
them ~interveneda dark space; and over
the third story, in one Of the small
round windows Of the Mansard-roof. a
faint light twinkled. An observer no
ticing il would have supposed that some
domestic whose duty did not call TO ac-
tive service had retired betimes. But
no. The dimly lighted chamber in the
roof held in its solitude a daughter Of
the house.
The figure of a Young girl, wrapped
carclcssly in the folds ~ a coarse gray
dressiHg-robe, wa flung at full length
upon a narrow bed in an attitude of I'M
mistakable detection. Her face was
buried inthe pillow, her hands clasped
above the flowing hair that reached in
unbranded tresses to the floor. Her
whole frame was agitated by a pitiful
sobbing that could not be controlled.
A step along the unexpected passage
and a knock Mt the door had M effectt to
arouse the unhappy girl. The knocks
were repeated rapidly and more loudly,
and beingunanswered, a woman's voice,
clear and shrill, but agreeable-toned,
called from without, "Fidelia Kings
land, are YOU therePn
The girl arose slowly, and rubbing
the tears away from her eyelids W it'll a
bewildered air, moved listlessly toward
the door.
"Who il ita-who calls me?" she
asked, with her hand upon the key.
"a friend Of your mother" answered
the quick, clear voice.
81 am dreaming" said Fidelia, not
IN reply, but sadly to herself, and turn
ed away.
"Iou are not dreaming" answered
The voice.

wildered yet imploring, At a picture

Mormon Courtship.

On Saturday a Mormon by the name

the faithful to go on a mission TO Arizo-
ma called upon Brigham Young.
Married. queried the Prophet.

brow forty odd years had left their inn

"Must marry, Brother Fulmer, be-

Kingdom"
"Don't know any body who will have
me- was the reply.
"Ill find some one. Do You know
Brother Brown in the Seventeenth
Ward? Well, he has several daughters /;
you 30 TO Brother Browns and tell him
that want you to marry one OF his
daughters"
Fulmer left and obeyed counsel to the
letter. Knocking at the door he was
admitted by Brother Brown, who upon
learning what was wanted, called in his
several daughters TO be selected from.
Fulmer taking his choice, Brown told
the girl 10 get ready in fifteen minutes.

Many farmers have an idea that the
reason why they are not much nor
successful in their business IL because
they only very small farms. They
think that if they had threeor four times
a. much land a. they now have, their
profits would he largely increased.
Probably ninety-nine of these men make
a serious mistake, where there Is one
who j. correct in his conclusions. They
have land enough already. MANY OF
them have a great deal too much. for
they run over the whole of it AMI get
small crops, while IL they had less, they
would cultivate il better and obtain
larger returns. 1t is not the number Of
acres, but the manner in VIII CT they are
TILED, which tells on the profit and loss
account. Some farmers obtain as large
an income and n larger profit from
thirty than others do from seventy five
acres of equally good land. II seems
to be one of the greatest mistakes Of
American farmers that they are contin-
ually striving 10 get more acres under
their control and paying 90 little at
tention TO the thorough tillage Of the
land they already own. The more they
have. the more they want, and the less
careful they are to cultivate it well.
They do not increase their facilities for
making or obtaining fertilizers nearly
rs fast as they enlarge the area of their
farms.
Many q mar would be better off ten
years hence if he would now sell one
third or even one-half OF his land and
usethe money thus obtained for the pay
ment Of his debts, or ia the improve
ment of what land remained, than be-
will be TO drag along with the whole.
He has not capital enough To carry on
his business in "A profitable manner. lie
can not make needed improvements be-
cause he has not means with which %
pay for them. Ills money is Looked up
in land which he has not capital enough
to properly manage. He can NOT pay
cash, and for every thing which he buy
he Is charged from ten to twenty per
cent. too much, aud is constantly har-
assed with debts and business pcrpleNi-
ties. He would be much more happy
and prosperous IL he had less land and
was free from these annoyances. Thirty
or forty acres, besides u wood lot, il
properly managed, would return a larg-
er net profit than the average Of the
large farms which are now SO common.
And these small farms could be man
aged by the owner and one or two Of his
sons, or a hired man, aud thus much Of
the perplexity and trouble Of having
hired help would be avoided. IL would
make less work in fhe house. and not
only promote the happiness and pros
pcrity Of the farmer, but also be a ben
eft TO his wife and family.-Cor. Country

Uon for the coming election that, we
think, ought TO have weight not only in
Arkansas, to the Democracy Of which
State /. is specially addres ssd, but also
with our p2riisans Ia Tennessee. Our
cotemporsry calls attention to the fact
that the election fyr State, senatorial,
county and township officers comes of
early In September, while the election
for members Of congress will not be held
until November. A period Of two
month";, therefore, viii intervene be-
tween the two elections-DesrIy as much

that Urecedes the State election. For this
reason it would be premature for county
conventions to interfere in the selection
ofcongressionsl candidates or do any
Thing that does not fall within the line
Of the specific duties assigned Them by
the central executive committee. Il is
competent and proper in the county
conventions to nominate candidates for
local offices, elect delegates to the State
convention, and instruct as TO the pref

according to Democratic usage, their
functions do not lie. Any other course

THE conviction of Lieutenant-Goyer-
nor Davis, Of high crimes and INSIDE
lneauors, is not a matter O? surprise to
any who in this part OF the world have
watched the snRus OF Mississippi the
vast ten years, nor ia it SURF rising that
Governor Ames is impeached, or that
the impeachers have been able to base
that Impeachment upon testimony, the
force of which has been confessed by
even the Republicans in the house. The
management of the government of Mis-
sssippi 10y the Republican party has all
along been marked by the greed and ra-
pacity which, ia the District Of Column
bia, has signalized the Boss Shepherd
gang. Lsws were made to benefit the
few and Cypress the many, and taxes
were assessed TO fill the pockets, not of
efficient officers, or for public services
rendered, but to compensate those whO
proved themselves most unscrupulCus in
the direction of party. affairs so as to
keep the State under the lash Of ig-
norance and crime. This, continued
for ten yesrs, had brought many to the
belief that the Republican party owned
the State, and that to question it was to
Trove the disloyaliy Of the quCstiOner.
Office-holdeTs became insolent, and en-
bOldened by the fears Of those over
whomithey tyIa1nizsd througbihe aid OF
the Federal government, they went
about the accomplishment Of their ne
fsrious purposes, as il reckoning day
had been forever postponed, and they
hsd, indeed, become ''lOrds Of all they
surveyed" All doubts IS to the stabili-
ty Of their sys. EN- we've hushed by the
apr aren't impregnability Of their posi-
tim, fortified, as it was, by "lOyalty"
81 interviewer with sll that they did, as
10 seem to the poor victims Of their
thieviug and villainous practices unss-
sailable. Hence the surprise ct the re-
suit OF the last election, aud the COM
ple!e collspse which has overtaken
their windy pretensions. Abandoned
by Grant, and deserted by the Republic
can msjority in the United States senate,
even Morton was forced to give up a
fruitless fight, and leave Ames and Ds-
vis to their fate IS criminals repre-
senting political party that
never can occupy any other position
at the south than that which the pres
ent attitude Of Ames and Davis typifies.
Times are sadly changed since this time
last year, when Ames was lord and the
men before whom he hiss been called to
answer Tor his crimes were debating the
best road to the SUCCESS which turned
him ard his party down-let US hope
forever.
