MRS. LINN MAKES A DISCOVERY.
The winter that was so full of happiness to
Elite, was one Of disappointment to Florence
Sinclair and her mannuverng aunt. When
Horace Maynard first made his appearance
upon the stage of action, Florence ignored
her other admirers, and reserved herself en-
tirey for him. All the attractions which ma
ture and art bestowed upon her, were brought
into play, to win his attentions to herself, and
secure him for husband. In the first she
had been in measure successful, in the latter
most unaccountably bafied His attentions
were considered by the public in general, and
by Florry and her aunt in particular as sorne-

Sinclair sometimes to places Of amusement,
and was generally her especial attendant at

I know 1t is dark, my darling,
And fearful the darkness seems
But shut your eyes; In moment
The nightwill be bright with dreams
Or, better, you'll sleep so sound all night
1t will seem but moment to morning light
There is only one kind OF darkness
That need to trouble us, dear
Only the night Of temptation
And then We must all Of us fear,
Yet even then, If we are but brave,
There is One who Is ever at hand to save.
We have only toRsk him to help us,
And He viii keep us from harm;
Only TO whisper, /" Jesus ~
His name is holy charm;
Jesus save me y we need but saw.
And the night oftomptation will flee away.
How can He be always near us?
Near all of us, everywhere
All that is beyond our knowing;
But there Is no hound TO His care
Aud dear as the whole big world in His sight
Is his little child that He bids goodnight.

THE FIRE THAT NEVER GOES OUT
About three years ago the Observer reported
the case of a citizen in Mecklenburg County,
N. G., who, having married in 1S43, lighted
Ere on his bearthstone as soon as he carried
his bride to his new homes and had kept it
burning ever since. The citizen was in town
Yesterday, and, being questioned about the
natter stated that the fire was still burning.
and that throughout all these thirty-six years
it had never been allowed to go out. Guess
toned as to whether or not 1t made the house
uncomfortably hot in torrid weather he said
that the extra heat thus generated was not
perceptible. In reply to another question, he
said that in Summer weather. wiieh it was
necessary for comforts sake to keep the fire
burning very low, he had to get mp frequently
at night to replenish it slightly but that he
counted this rs nothing when he contemplat-
ed the idea Of the fire going out. lie has evil
IDENTIFY formed for il a strong attachment and
vet one would not take him for a sentimental
man. But this fire is to him a constant re-
hinder of the day when he first brought home
his bride. Around it his children have grown
IN into manhood and womanhood, aud their
children have gazed into its light. 1t was tho
last light that fell upon the eyes Of his wife;
and lle hopes that ii will be the last that will
fall upon his. Viewed thus, his sentiment in
the matter can be understood, and 50 strong
is this sentiment that with the old man it
amounts almost to passion.

THE GULLY TRIAL.
MIR. Chalmers opinion of General
WoOdfOrd's Demand.
IFrom the Washington Post. :. ]

[From the Washington POst.l
My attention has been called to all
article in a republican newspaper
calling on Lamar. Singleton or Chal-
mers to answer the statement OF Gen.
Woodford as to the trial of Gully for
the murder of Miss Chisolm. L take
pleasure III answering, as the state
nent OF Gen. Woodford and the
comments OF the republican press
upon it are most startling indications
of the extent to which the republican
party is prepared to go i'll the de-
struction of civil liberty. General
Woodiord states that the jury was
fairly drawn and selected that if the
Judge erred it was against the pris-
oner; that the district attorney had
prepared his case we'll, and prose-
cuted it with ability, and that he was
assisted i'll the prosecution by Judge
Morris, one of the ablest criminal
lawyers he had ever met. Mrs. CHS
olln swore that she saw the prisoner
shoot her daughter, but in this she
was fatty contradictcd by a number
of unimpeached witnesses. Mrs.
Chisolm was more likely to have been
excited ut the time than the other
witnesses, and, therefore, less able
to give correct statement of the
facts. The jury, who by the law arc
the sole judges of the facts, believed
the other witnesses, and found Gully
not guilty. For this verdict General
Woodford Whites the jury, and the
country, aud the republican papers
ask that search be made through
the statutes to see If some means
cannot be found whereby the nation
can protect it's citizens. In other
words, whether the nation cannot
take away from Mississippi demo-
crat, when charged with killing re-
publican, the right of trial by jury
This right, which our ancestors held
most sacred, entitled the prisoner to
a trial by jury of the vicinlge, and
it was held to be better that ninety
nine guilty men should escape than
an innocent man be punished. 1t is
now asked that this right shall be
taken from Mississippians, and when
| one is charged with crime he shall be
tried by jury of Gen. Woodford's,
who go down to register verdict
agreed on before the trial. A new

WORTHLESS BEAUTIES.
from the philadclphis Eullettnl


Somehow or other all the famous
beauties known i'll past history and
in modern newspapers have be-
gun or ended with q low of reputa-
ton. Between Helen, of Troy, aud
Mrs. Langtry, there is long list of
Greek, Roman, Italian, French, Ger
man, English and other women fam
our as beauties, not one of whom de-
serve particle of the respect due to
a good American girl or matron who
keeps out of the newspapers, as any
woman can do when she chooses.
Lola MontcZ was professional
beauty from Europe who visited
America. Nobody here could dis
cover her beauty, but it had been
worshipped by a king of the most
ancient and hcrotc lineage. Mrs
Rousby was an English professional
beauty who had achieved cOnqucsts 5
which made her a heroine of the Lon
don society journals. But she had
little success in America, where pref
tier and better women abound. Her
beauty was fatal to her character, and
led to excuses that killed her at an
aye when a really beautiful and good
woman ought to be at her stage of
perfection.

A FAIR TEST.
From Puck.l


IT. is a pretty fair test of n mans
birth and breeding to dine with him
in Il public restaurant. If he bullies
the walters and generally rcvels in an
air of lordly authority, it is safe to
say that he is enjoying luxury COM
paratively unfamiliar to him. The
man who is born to command will
always be respected, without any
conspicuous effort on his part, by the
people he employs. The man to
whom position of authority is
something new and abnormal may
make his subordinates fear him but
that is all. A gentleman may stand
on his head habitually, and his lnfe-
riors will not dare to venture upon
an impertinence ; but shoddy, though
cncascu III the triple brass of pom
posity, can not cheat tho keen and
certain valuation of the servants
