found happiness that In HerbeFt's eyes
she seemed the very Laurette of ten
years ago, as she sat in q low chair by
the fire, with, screen In her hand and
her face turned toward her lover
Sand 80 you were unfortunate the
FIRST five years 7" she said.
"Yes, SO unfortunate and poor that
sometimes / hardly knew how or when
] should get my next meal. When
things were steadily improving with me
for rather more than year, wrote to
you, but received no answer. I waited
few months, and then wrote again
with the same result. Then 1 waited
six months, and wrote for the third
time, and after awhile my own letter
was returned to me with the single word
Gone on 1t. You may imagine how
disappointed was. 1 made inquiries
respecting you of all those likely to be
acquainted with your movements, but
all that 1 could learn was that your
father was dead and that you had left
the neighborhood. So / thought the
best thing could do was to work harder
than ever, and return to England at the
earliest possible moment and search for
you myself; and thank Heaven have
found you"
"And how strangely 1t came about"
said Laurette, smiling. Do you know
1 thought you were going to murder me
at one time 7" and to his amusement,
she told him of the fears that had pos
sessed her.
am so glad now that 1 came to
Bristol" returned Herbert. "I was
knocking about in London, putting all
kinds of machinery in motion with the
object of finding you-which, by the
way, 1 must stop now, when 1 came
across an Australian friend, who with
his wife returned to England two years
ago. He told me he had bought house
at Stoke Bishop and invited me to
spend Christmas with them. A lonely
old bachelor, staying at hotel, I was
only too glad to accept his invitation.
Arrived at Redland, found there was
no cab to be had on account of the
slippery state Of the roads, and SO left
my portmanteau at the Black Boy
intending to ask my friend to send his
gardner for it. And glad I am that
did 80, or 1 should never have met with
this happy Christmas Adventure"
On Christmas morning Herbert Lind
say found out his friends house, and
~Iat, oI kI1a - l..
ance on the previous evening.
A month later there was quiet we'd
ding at Stoke Church, and after a few
happy weeks on the Continent, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lindsay sailed for Australia. In
due course Herbert showed to his dear
wife with infinite pleasure the comforta-
BILE, even luxurious home that he had
worked so long and so hard to prepare
for her.

Good Advice to Married People.

A worthy wife of forty years standing
and whose life was not made of sum
shine and peace, gave the following and
impressive advice to married pair of
her acquaintance. The advice is so good
and well suited to all married people as
well as those entering that state, that we
here publish it for the benefit of such
persons
+" Preserve saeredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state and
your heart Let no father, mother, sis
ter or brother ever presume to come be-
tween you, or share the joys or sorrows,
that belong to you two alone. With
mutual help build your quiet work, not
allowing your dearest friend to be the
confidant Of aught that becomes your
domestic peace. Let moments of alien
alton, II they occnr, be healed at once
Never, no never, speak Of 1t outside, but
to each other confess, and all will come
out right. Never let the morrow's sun
still find you at variance. Renew and
renew your vow; 1t will do you good,
and thereby your minds viii grow to-
gether, contented in that love which is
stronger that death and you will become
truly one.

O. Bad temper is crime and like
other crimes, is ordained in the course
Of nature to meet, sooner or later, its

may have some points OF extenuation
the pleasures, for example, which may
attend their indulgence, but Miniature
that is, fretful fault finding spirit, In
its origin, action, and end, has no ex-
tenuating qualities.

The MOOnShine War.

NORTHERN GEORGIA THE ONLY REFRACTORY RE-
GION; CAUSE wHY-POLITICS.
An examination of the returns from the in
ternal revenue collectors In all the southern
districts, where there hitherto has been so
much resistance to law, shows that this law
lessness in the distillfng districts Of North and
South Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky
ana tennessee, has been overcome; that the
taxpayers now respect the government. and
are paying their taxes, and that the revenue
officers are meeting with no opposition In their
attempts to enforce the laws, except In the SIN
gle region OF Northern Georgia. This district
is the same In its general situation, In its NOUN
tain regions, in the character OF its people, and
states where the moOnShinerS heretofore have
been SO active. One reason why the Georgia
district still maintains an opposition of defiant
hostility to the Internal bureau, and in fact to
the United States is, that politics have entered
largely Into the matter In that district. 1t is
charged that the United States marshal and the
United states district attorney there have Op-
posed the collector OF internal revenue at every
step, and have endeavored to prevent the eX-
nue.. The consequence has been that the reve.
nue department has been compelled to collect
It's taxes, and TO enforce its law by a large
armed civil posse, While the other federal aIl-
thor1tieS have rendered no aid and have been
supported In their 1nact1On or open hostility by
the politicians in and out Of Congress- and by
the local press OF Georg1a-notably the atlantic

Rock ESoN SPRINGS, July eth, 1884,
How shall attemT to describe this delight

privilege TO spend the past few days? Imagine,
then, semi-circular range OF rugged cliffs,
half hidden In the foliage OF trees that skirt
their base or shoot out OF the rocky creyices IN
their perpendicular sides. Beneath these cliffs
and half enclosed by them, lies beautiful
green valley fn which bubble up health giving
springs OF varied mineral water; while back OF
the cliffs rise loftier wooded mountains. from
whose slopes through a great funnel like fis-
sure In the rocks pour down continually the

proach TO 1t is by most picturesque carriage
drive, OF seventeen miles, from Winchester,
abounding In ever varying views or lovely
mountain scenery, which, we felt, as we drove

stands an EXTENDED frame building, forming

REHoBoTH BEACH, DEL, July 6. 1850.
This resort, which has been growing in pop-
ularity each succeeding year, calls for especial
attention this season On account OF the various
improvements In many respects. Rehoboth
possesses natural advantages far superior TO
many resorts on the coast The bathing is un-
surpassed, and no accident has ever occurred.
IL has the advantages OF both a high SURF and
fresh wafer lakes, together with a bay fifty
miles wide, which AFFORD rare facilities In the
way OF fishing, sailing, &C. Another remark
able feature is the purenesS OF the drinking
water, the number or picturesque cottages al
ready enlivened by their owners and their 4 nc.
lies, render the Beach still more attractiy e.
The little chapel recently completed is soon 10
be dedicated.
The Bright House, the principal hotel, is
beautifully situated on the most desirable part
or the beach, only sixty yards from the ocean,
where are foucd not that excess or style and
fashion SO common Ia some places, but the COM
forts OF home and q table amply supplied with
all the luxurieS or the season. The evenings
are varied With dancing, music, charades, par
lor entertainments &c. Rehoboth is deservedly
popular with Washingtonians. a number or
" hom spend either the whole season or part

DEATH BY THE ROPE.

CINCINNATI, o., July Geo. Allen Price, the
to law, in the yard of Hamilton county Jail, at
~ minutes past II o'clock. and cut down dead
20 minutes later this forenoon. On the 5oth day
OF April, 1879. he shot and murdered Willie
Black, In the Office OF the latter, in this city.
He was found guilty of murder In the first de-
gree, and sentenced to be hanged May 2Sth, this
year. On representations that he was insane,
Gov. Foster gave him respite TIL July g. Price
was colOred, born In Kentucky 81 years ago,
was freed by the war, and came to Gin
Ginnau, where he has since lived: Willie
Black was a tobacco merchant, and for eight
years up to week before his murder kept Price
In his employ. About week previous he caused
the arrest OF Price for stealing tobacco from
MIN. and then only day before the murder
ba1led him out. Price went to Blacks office
and demanded retractiOn OF the charge or
larceny, which was refused, whereupon the
murder followed. The conduct Of Price under
sentence has been described as cold hard, and
unrepentant. He had particular adherence
OF reporters. His redeeming traits were his
intense concern for his family which is said was
characteristic OF him before the commission OF
his crime. Until the age OF - years Price said
he was raised Catholic. when through the
influence Of woman who became his wife he
joined the Baptist church; that he abandoned

before the execution the jailer asked him, Are
You prepared to die?' He answered, Eyes: I've

He evidently hoped for executive clemency to

Jailer disabused his mind of such hopes. During
all the forenoon, from half-past in the morn

cigars. talked freely and cheerfully, sought out
prisoners IN the jail TO ask their pardon cases
where he supposed he had given offence and
sent word to Judge Longworth, the judge who
pronounced sentence. asking forgiveness for
the WoruS used In letter sent to him. On his
way to the scaffold he called on a servant and

friend want you to feel assured that have no
grievances growing out OF the Cincinnati con-

the delegations from other states that could

support from them. A state that doubted my
ability to carry New York did well not to sup

state. We ,rU carry this state. The ticket
