Office, with its LUXURIOUS appoint
ments-he might at least offer Vio-
let a home worthy Of her-but the
memory of the days when he had
run, little, barefoot lad, about his
mothers cottage, and she, toiling
for her only child, had earned one
by one the dollars which had sent
him first to the village school, and
then to the great city, to learn the
profession for which he longed.
He had succeeded well and brave
~, beyond his most ambitious
hopes; but the mother who toiled
for him, where was she? Why was
it that tonight her old, wrinkled
face drove even Violet Fape's beauty
from him9
True, he no longer allowed her to
work; true, she sat at ease in her
little cottage, thinking of and pray
ing for her boy, who was so good
and generous to her; but was it his
fault that his patients were SO many
and his hours SO precious that he
could find no time to gladden. her
old heart by glimpse of him now
and then?
And now-now that he thought

But she did not finish the SEN
tence--only stepped inside the door
and stood under the glare of the
hall lamp.
The man looked askance at the
singular apparition. Her hat was
crushed and bent, her dress bore
evidence Of the dust of travel, and
in her hand was huge baRd-box,
containing the hat which was to as

Indeed, ma'am," the man began,
but the old lady walked steadily on
to the door, beneath the threshold
of which she deserted stream of
light.
The hot flush had by this time
died out of DR.. Notions cheek. The
mornings dawn had dissipated the
foolish fancies of the night. His
duties fer the day were over, and
he was free to seek Violet, whose
wonderful eyes would light up rs
he entered, and whose lips wonld
perhaps brush his cheeks With their
velvety caresses.
He sprang to his feet to seek her,
when the door softly opened, and
turning he saw-could it be dream
conjur,d up by his restless fancies
of the night before-his mother!
Close behind her was the wholly
wondering, half apologize face of
his butler. 1t took him full min
ute to realize that it was no dream.
And then honor to his manlcsd)
u sudden overwhelming tenderness
swept away all else, and with a glad
cry of Mother" he ciasped her to
his heart.
When she had grown calmer and
more at rest. beginning to look
around and wonder and admire, a
little feeling of irritation began to
grow at his heart. Why did she
come? Had he lot made all COM
Portable for her at home? Here she |
would be constrained, unnatural. |
And Violet! He could picture the
astcnished look which would creep /
into her eyes when he said to her,

the naughty curve which would
gather about her mouth, SO rich and !
rlpe and sweet. So the question of
his neart found words, and he
scarcely himself knew the innate
irritation they betrayed.

We derived an hour or twO's real
entertainment on Saturday, the 4th
inst, from visit to the perform
ance of the Tennessee Ministries at
Elders hall.
This is minstrel. company got
ten UP and trained exclusively at
GAINESVILLE, and consists of intelli-
gent colored men, most of whom
are also members of the Mozart
brass band. Their singing, both
comic ard sentimental, was excel
lent, and their instrumental per-
Torrance indicates careful practice
under excellent teaching. The du-
ct for two comets, by Brown and
Wilcox, was really a creditable
performance. We will only make
one suggestion as regards the ae-
compartments, which is that Brown
would do well to leave the accom-
paniments to the solos to the
stringed instruments, reserving his
cornet for the choruses; it is too
loud for the solos.
We were glad to observe con-
siderable sprinkling of white citi-
zens, being an advocate for bring
ing together the two races as much
as possible, both in their amuse-
ments and in more serious affairs.
