my wife, let me hear from you at
once. If there is, l shallunderstand
it from your silence.
Yours, truly,
SrANwooD LEE" !.
Lucia Dare got up, with a very
pale face, and II great aclip ut her
heart. She had been guilty Of doing
a disgraceful thing, and that very
act had been the means of bringing
to her the one great sorrow Of her
life.
"You are terribly punished, Lucia
Dare" she said to the white face in
the glass that stared at her as she
crossed the room, "By that one dis
honorable act you destroyed your
life's happiness"
She sat alone that night when the
house was still, and thought aboutit.
1t was torture to think how near she
had come to the realization of the
sweetest dream of her life, by her
own folly she had lost it all.
Before she went to bed she took
the letter and inclosed it to Dora
She wrote only a few lines.
professor Lee left a letter for you
one day when you were not at home,
and did not give it to you. Ihave
read it, and know how near happi-
ness came to me-"
She could not bring herself to con-
fes in plain words, why it never had
been given, But her heart accused
her bitterly enough, and she slept
upon pillow wet with tears OF sor-
row and repentance. Hard, indeed,
was the punishment of her wrong
doing.
* Is
1t was a peaceful Sabbath day
The mir was sweet with scents of
new-mown grass and clover, and the
birds sang in the Gins outside the
open windows of the little church,
and all the world seemed in a Sab
bath mood.
Lucia Dare heard a little ripple of
surprise run over the congregation
just before the sermon began, and
raised her head to sec coming down
the aisle--Profossor Loci
He camo straight to her pew. She
made room for him, while her heart
was in wild AuttOr of hope and
love and gladnoss, and he sat down
beside her, reaching out his hand in
n wordlcss greeting, which held a
powerful cloquence in its long, close
clasp.
Lucia heard not n word of the SER
mon. Her heart was too full of many
emotions for that. She was glad

1t Wasn't the Totthaohe.

Iii the ladies' writing room at the
Central Depot the other day were
newly-married couple from Grass
lake. They had been visiting in
the city two or three days, and were
then ready to go home. They sat
side by side, ofcourse, hisarm around
her waist and she leaning on his
shoulder. A long,waisted stranger
from She Edst, having sore eyes and
a big heart, walked in, saw them
thus seated, and in about a minute
he asked of the husband:
elias that woman there got the
toothache?"
The husband looked upin surprise,
but made no answer. After two or
three minutes the long-waistcd man
again remarked:
"If that woman has got the tooth
ache I've got bottle Of peppermint
in my satchel here"
The bribe rolled her big white eyes
around, and the husband looked
somewhat embarrassed. The man
from down East unlocked his satchel;
fumbled among shirts and collars,
and brought up four ounces of pep
permint essence, He uncorcked it;
touched the contents Of the bottle
against his big red tongue, and hand
ing it forward toward the husband3
feelingty said:
"Just have her sop some on a rag
and rub her grooms with it. We've
used it in our family for"
The brides eyes threw out sparks
as she lifted her head from lis low
ing position, and, striking at tho
bottle, she snarled out;
"Tuthachei you fule! If you don't
know the difference tween true love
and the tuthache you'd better pick
grass with the geesel"
"My Lordl" graspod the man, and
he hurried out with his satchel in
one hand and the bottle in the other;

Of this S3,296.59 excess, Sl027.39

bridges, $685. is in the account of
paupers, sick and insane, and S466.02
is in public buildings etc., principally
used in repairs on the Court House and
Jail The total Indebtedness of the
County, May LIST 1877, is S7,94S.SO,
add to this the allowances of the May
term of the Commissioners Court and
the Indebtedness will be something over
$4,000.
If any individual citizen of the
County was in debt to that amount, he
would probably do one of two things;
either repudiate it or make desperate
effort to pay it, and as reputation is
not very honest(D way of getting rid
of debts, even when done under the
guise of the bankrupt law, there re-
mains but the one alternative consist

or die in the attempt. We are in IA
vor of the County paying its debts and
to this end let the resources of the peo-
pie be carefully husbanded, let gener-
Gus public spirit prompt every tax-pay-
er to do his part, and in fine, let the
County affairs be conducted in the same
manner as the affairs of a thrifty bust
ness man are conducted.

is buried in style that many a good, hard

right? Let the taxpayers answer. But this

County Orders IS cts, it is So. Don't you
think special tax is needed! BY all means
let us have it, and we can spend it. Get
some strong, able-bodied young man, let him
loaf around while he is well, let him earn
but little and spend all he earns, go to the
circus and the like, then let him get sick, 60

the Commissioners and, let it be paid.

Sewing Machine Patents Expired.

The last important patent on sewing
machines expired on the lst of May.
No longer should these useful articles
of household economy be sold for FIVE or
six times as much as it costs to manu-
facture them. The sewing machine was
one of the greatest inventions of the age
and notwithstanding the high royalty
that has been paid to inventors for
the past twenty-five years, has served
to tighten the labor of housewives and
many other poor women.

Hayes on MOrtOn's Letter.

New YORK, May 29.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The Presi-
dent is pleased with Morton's letter.
1t was a fact to have undertaken the
support of Packard with the army
would have been futile and the result
disastrous. At the same time the
President did not agree with Morton
as to the position and purposes of the
Southern people. He did not share
Morton's distrust of Southern leaders,
but the President declared that what
ever may happen in the South now,
the Republican party can not be
held responsible for it. The South
ID in the hands of the Democrats, and
that party alone must be held respon-
sible for the conduct of public affairs.
The President says he had always
been . Republican, and is now, and
that the Republican party was never
more necessary to the nation than it
= to-day. The party, the President
aid, il good enough for him. and he
intended to stand by it. The language
Of the President showed very clearly
that he did not favor new party or
ennization - such, and he would
noG b likely 10 give any such move
nent his cid.

County Finances.

An examination of the Auditors an
nual exhibit, published this week on
the first page of this paper, reveals the
fact that during the past year the
county has added $l,S33.lO to its in
debtedness. Compared with the reduc-
ton of the debt in 1876 by S992.57 the
inquiry, why this difference, becomes
pertinent. A comparison of the pub
lie expenditures in 1876, with those of
1877, shows that in the fiscal year now
closed, they exceed those of 1876 by
$3,296.59. The following table will in
dictate the difference between the two
years:

The matter, what do we fad cur conclusion TO
