girl, were walking through shrubbery
most of whose boughs were barren as
lances," a few sparsely gemmed with
green or rudy buds.

little girl exclaimed, when, after pass
ing black beds in which the plants had
not woke up from their winter sleep, or
were only just beginning to wake be-
meath the mysterious influence of COM

crocuses ike fairy goblets of gold and
amethyst, white with snowdrops droop-

her mamma.
"Oh, the crocuses-tbey are 30 splen-

"But what, darling?'
"Why, the snow comes out first,
doesn'tit? 1t seems as If it didn't want
to look fine, but just to cheer people up,
without wanting to dress itself up in
fine colors."

darling, and be snowdrop yourself"

"Papa used to call me his snowdrop
Poor Papa!" said the little girl.
"We will 60 tomorrow and plant
some on Papa's grave" said her aunt.
That night the little girl dreamed OF
her papa and snowdrops.
He was playing with her in the
garden, and then suddenly the time
came back when he was always too
tired to play, and he had to lean on his
mothers arm when he walked. And
then, again, he was shut away from her
in the sick-room, into which she used to
peep, grieved that she was only allowed
to 60 in and say good morning and good
night. Once more she sat on the stairs
outside, as mum as mouse. And then
came the dim. dreadful morning when
she started up in her cot, and her sobbing
mother clasped her in her arms and told
her that her dear papa had gone to
heaven. How jealous she had felt Of

hushed, darkened house, sometimes steal

ACCORDING to Connecticut justice, if
not according TO Connecticut law, young
girls who have .iarG-hearted fathers NAV
give them Paris green provided they do
not mean to kill them outright. Atany
rate, such was the decision in the case of
Ellen Beiben, aged sixteen. She wanted
to 90 to day and Sunday school, but her
father made her work in the field instead,
and occasionally manifested his paternal
feelings by beating her with a heavy
whip. After one of these threshings
Ellen concluded that she could not en-
dure the situation any longer, and deter
mined to run away. To prevent discov-
cry and pursuit she thought it best to
make her prosecutor sick, for she pro-
tested that she had no idea that dose
of Paris green might prove fatal. The
story might be discredited by some
skeptical people, but the jury believed it.
AT least, as the old man did not die, they
took pity on Ellen's youth and sufferings
and declared her not guilty.

Scramble for a Dead Mans Shoes.
Philadelphia Inquirer


1t has become common custom among
politicians everywhere to scramble for a
dead officeholder's shoes even before the
corpse is cold, but more unseemly race
for position has not come to light for a
long time than the one about 10 be re-
lated. A few days ago, in Pittsburg, an
old and faithful employee of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, the late Mr.. w. B.
Brobst, was seized with dangerous ill.
ness. The fact became public, and within
twenty-four hours. while yet Mr..
Brobst's physician had hopes of his pa
tient, nearly two hundred applications
had been filed in the Office of the general
passenger agent, in this city, for the ex-
pected vacancy in the Pennsylvania
Railroad ticket Office at Pittsburg, in the
event of Mr.. Brcbst's death. Mr.. Brobst
died, generally regretted, and, witnin a
few moments after his death, the news
OF which speedily circulated, one hun
dred more applicants were on their way
to this city. The general agent here, in
thorough disgust, made memoranda of
the names, threw the applications into
the fire, and appointed one Of his clerks
in Mr.. Brobsts place. The worst of the
matter is that quite a number of these
irreverent scramblers enjoy an unde-
served reputation for respectability.

IsENlEM BIER,

That on Thursday Of next week
(September 9th, will be held a re-
union Of the FIRST Tennessee Reg lment
at Lynchburg, Moore county. The
Lynchburg Sentinel says it is predicted
BY many that the crowd which will at
tend this Reunion will be larger than
any that has ever assembled in Moore
county. But ample arrangements
have been made for the entertainment
of visitors, no matter how great the
number. Our county o. Franklin, il
will be remembered, held prelmna-
ny meeting some time since, and APP
pointed delegates, committees, DC.
And on the 18th instant, in Lynch
burg, meeting of similar kind was
held, and committees on supplies, mu-
sic, and finance, were appointed. We
observe upon these committees the
names Of our fellow citizens, Captain
Sam. II, Estil and Capt. Il, ID. Greg>
Dry. The 7th and l4th regiments
(Which belonged to our brigade in Nr,
ginia) have been cordially invited to
be present. Col. Peter Turney, our
present able Supreme Judge, will de.
liver an address upon the occasion,
and there is no doubt but that it will be
grand occasion indeed We old lel-
lows who were in the war together will
have our memories at full blast that
day. We will think Of all that we
went throughput all the little incidents
that occurred, &c,, and we will all be
happy, The fact is, every member of
the First Tennessee Regiment ought to
he there. If he cannot get to ride
there, let him waik. He need not put
on airs and say he cannot walk, for we
happen to know from experience that
he can walk. If old age has overtaken
him, as it will certainly oyertake the
most OF us, then he is to be piticd, and
conveyance should be sent for him.
lie ought to be there. Every member
Of Col. p. Turneys regiment ought to
be there. Not for political purposes
no, no! We Of the South mean no
such thing. But it is right and proper
to keep alive the sweet rememhrances
of the war when the war is ended.
Heaven knows the sweet membranes
are very few, but if we conquered
Southern people have any sweet re
membranes, let us get together and
try to be happy, and let us be men
enough to not gloat over fallen foe.
We say fallen foe because the Radical
party has so acted since the end Of the
war as to make us of the South the
real victors in the struggle. We clam
ored for the rights Of the States, and
to-day those rights are being cautious
~ accorded by man who knows he

We learn that there is some trouble
in regard to the proposition carried at
a meeting OF our citizens last Saturday
week to take action for the consollda
ton of the white free school of Win,
chester School District with Carrck
Academy, under Professors Clark and
Blcdsoe. 1t appears that Superintend-
ent II. G. Hampton, according to i'll
s,ructicn. appointed three Directors,
to-wit: Wiley S. Embrey, W. IL. Bran
nan and Joe. Lenehan. These Direc-
tors are ready to close the contract
with Messrs. Clark and Bledsoc for
teaching the free school, but the for
mer Clerk and Treasurer of the old
Board of School Directors refuses to
turn over the books. We have moth
inc to say for or against the refusal OF
the Clerk to turn over the books. THIS
isa matter we have not investigated,
and of course he believes he is justified
in his action in The premises. But 1t
is to be regretted that any collision
should have taken place. 1t appears
that the public do not understand the
matter, aud many foolish rumors have
been raised around TO the effect that
the action taken at the meeting last
Saturday week was intended to ems
brace all the free schools in District
No l. But at Il glance it ought to he
seen that Professors Clark " BledSoo
do not propose to teach all the children
in said district for $50 per month. We
understand the proposition to EN- =
brace only the children in WIncheSte,
school district, leaving it optionary
with others in the eli, district to come
il they want TO.
Bat what we consider to he the
most, important point in the whole mat
ter is. that unless prompt action an,
IN Immediate settlement of the qucs-
ton n. issue are had, we may lose ON
school money for this district. 1t ap'
bears that elections for Directors tina
ought to have been held have not beer
. held, and consequently the Offices he
came vacant, and have been filled by
appointment. Now, if there Is no
some adjustment Of the matter. and
a report made before the lst OF Octo-
her, we may lose our school money
We would be pleased to hear from
Others upon the subject.

Editor Home journal:
Your correspondents from the 9TH Dis
trict have. of late, become SO silent that
they must either be in love or else have
been devoured by some ravcnouS beast,
and so will try to send you few items
from our neiglborhood.
The present month is one Of compara-
tive rest to the farmer, unless he happens
to have large pcacIl-orchard' In that
case, however. the whole family are kept
busy picking, peeling and drying the luS-
cious fruit which grows to such perfection
i'm our part of the State.
Soon the plows will be busy again, to
prepare for the wheat crop OF 1873, and
from all appearances the area Of wheat
fields will be considerably Increased.
Quite time was experienced by cou-
pie taking II ride on horseback last Sun
DAY evening. They were so deeply en-
gagged in conversation on matters of Il
matrimonial tendency that they failed to
detect the hidden foe that pOunccd upon
them In the shape of hornets. The bel
lircrcnt insects, disturbed by the horses,
went tor the riders in their most approved
STYLE. and an accident seemed unavoidable,
had not the fair one been carried to the
next house by her companion, while the
hcrscs went their way hOmeWard in wild
fight, scattering di,may among the mem
beers OF the family ut home.
Our Cedar Grove School is steadily in
creasing in numbers and efficiency; there
are now 50 pupils on the roll. The teach
crs strive to use the most approved and
modern educational methods. and the
progress made by the pupils Is the best
evidence of the superiority of the new sys-
TEN. We understand that an effort will
be made to establish the school upon Il
permanent basis, and we venture to say
that majority of cur people Will lend /;
helping hand in the iurtnerance OF sc
commcndable an enterprise.
Our Board of Directors, consisting OF
Messr,. Baker, Foster and kaserman, are
zealously aiding the cause Of popular cdu.
cation, and our efficient County Superin-
tendent. Mr.. Hampton. is also laborlng fol
the same purpose. We trust that the pco-
pie will appreciate the arduou3 work o.
the Superintendent, Directors and teach

wheel also.
