scream, and Theo was gone.

himself from falling by a vigorous
backward spring. And being safe,
he cursed himself as murderer.
and flung himself, face downward
on the ground
They found Theo half al hour
later, many feet below the noun
tain's brink, Is ing senseless, but
still living, with a disfigured face
and shattered limbs.
Clarence Hester shrank from the
sight. On that very evening he
left the mountains for his city
home, aud met Theo Mayson in
this woild TO more.
But George Harding laid that
distigured face on his breast, COW
ering it tenderly from the eager
gaze of men. as they bore the
senseless girl back to the carriage
in the glen.
Months afterward the bells of
that little mountain village rang
forth the merry wedding of Theo
Mayson and George Harding.
"You have an ugly bride,
George, dear, instead of a beauti-
full one" said Theo, as they drove
away on the first stage of their
wedding journey.
mo woman on earth can be
halt so fair in my eyes" replied
the happy groom.
He spoke the truth. She had
his heart to hold, and now she
holds it as the greatest treasure of
her life, knowing, at last, its ten
derness and its worth.

MY NEIGHBOR.

Glove thou thy neighbour" We are told
Gwen as myself" That creed ! hold;
But love her more, a thousand fold ]
Ny lovely neighbor; oft we meet
In lonely lane, or crowded street;
know the music of her feet.
She little thinks how, on day,
She must have missed her usual way,
And walked in,o my heart for aye.
Or how the rustic of her dress
Thrills through me like soft caress,
With tremblcs Of deliciousness.
Wee woman, with her smiling mien,
And soul celestially serene.
She passes me unconscious queen,
Her face most innocently good,
Where shyly peeps the sweet red blood;
Her for 4 nest OF womanhood
Like Raleigh for her dainty tread,
When ways are miry--I could spread
Ny cloak, but there's my heart instead
All, neighbor, you will never know
Why It's my step is quickened so;
Nor what the prayer | murmer low.
see you mid your flowers at morn,
Fresh as q rosebud newly born;
I marvel, can you have thorn p?
IF SO, 'twere swee. to lean ones breast
Against it, and the more it prest,
Sing like the bird that grief hath blest.
l hear you sing And thro' me spring
Doth unsteady ripple and ring;
Little you think Pm listening
You know not dear. how dear you be;
All dearer for the secresy:
Nothing and yet world to me.
So near, too? You could hear me sigh,
Or see my case with half an eye;
But must not. There are reasons why.

Teach Your BOYS.

Teach them that true lady may
be found in calico quite as frequen-
tly as in velvet.
Teach them that a common
school education with common
sense, is better than college edu-
cation without it.
Teach them that one good hon.
est trade, well mastered, is worth
dozen beggarly professions"
Teach them that honesty Is the
best policy, that it is better to be
poor than to be rich on the profits
of crooked whiskey," and point
your precept by the examples of
those who are now suffering the
torments of the doomed.
Teach them to respect their ell
ders and themselves.
Teach them that as they expect

too soon learn to protect the weak
ones.
Teach them by your own exam
pies that smoking in moderation,
though the least of vices to which
men are heirs, is disgusting to
others and hurtful to themselves.
Teach them that to wear patch
ed clothing is no disgrace, but to
wear a black eye is.
Teach them that by INDUCING
their depraved appetites in the
worst form of dissipation. they are
not fitting themselves to become
the husbands of pure girls.

A HEART TO HOLD.


Theodore Mayson met her fate.
There were but twelve guests
at the Bent farm house, where
she boarded with her rich maiden
aunt, whose heiress she was 20 be.
Only twelve and but two single
men in the party-Clarance Hes
ter, the only son of wealthy New
York merchant, and George
Harding, returned Australian,
with a bank account that, had no
end, and lovely country seat on
the Hudson, over which, before
he had been one week in Theodo-
ra's company, had asked her to
preside.
She accepted him.
In her heart she really loved
the shy, silent man, who was SO
thoroughly worthy Of her atfec-
ton.
But no sooner was she sure of
him than the demon of mischief
prompted her to spend the hours
of bright, blue summer days In
endeavoring to punish the other
lover who had sought her too
negligently at first, only to
whisper to her of his misery and
despair when at last, by his own
carelessness, he hNd lost her.
So she tried her power.
The beautiful gray saddle horse
that George Harding had given
her was exchanged, in her daily
rides, for the chestnut colt which
Clarence Hester had been train
ing for a month or more for her
lady's use.
The gray was too gentle, she
averredS and when George spoke
uneasily of the temper which all
beautiful "chestnuts'' inherit, and
which might on the mountain
road endanger her life, she smiled
and said that harm would never
come near while Clearance kept as
her guardian escort at her side.
If they walked; Clarance walk
ed also; if they gathered flowers,
the bouquet that he presented was
treasured with the one given by
George. If they boated, Clearance
had an oar, and if they sang in
the great par'Or at twilight, the
clear tenor of Clarcnce's voice
blended with deep contralto of
Theodore, till George Harding
was forced To leave the room lest
they should observe his jealous
pain.
So the happy days-happy. APP
parently, to all except George
Harding-wento on.
Theo was but a child, he told
himSelf-a simple, innocent child.
who was all unfit to cope with, or
understand the nature of trifling
profiigate like Clarence Hester
One day she would see him as
he really was, and would scorn
him.
And, contenting himself with
that thought, George Harding
bore his grief in silence and never
uttered a word of reproach to his
pretty little butterfly betrothed.
The day came-sooner than he
even had expected it. 1t was in
the greenest, bluest flush of the
beautiful summer. The sky
stretched overhead, an immense
plain of sapphire, unlocked by q
single cloud. Every one was out
climbing the mountain or max
ing domestic pictures among the
green dells, by the side of bub-
bling, cascading brooks.
George Harding had hoped for
solitary excursion that day.
They were to ride, and join Theo's

of Gen. Wright before Mr.. Wilson,
we may possibly differ with some of
them on that, but that is our feel
ing nevertheless, much as the
Wright organs of the state may
charge otherwise.
But we candidly believe that the
state debt will be much more
promptly and satisfactorily settled
under a republican administration
than democratic. We have
good reasons for thinking SO and
have stated them time and again.
The best reason in the world for
believing that the democrats are
not capable of settling the question
is that they have not settled it.
They have had supreme control Of
The state government for ten years.
Our governors have been demo-
Gratis, our supreme court and four
ffths of the inferior courts have been
presided over by democrats. Our
legislatures have been over.
whelmingly democratic. Why then
has not the question been settled?
The platform upon which Gen. John
G. Brown was nominated for govA
ernor in 1872 was as outspoken for
state credit as is that upon which
Gen. Wright was nominated. The
legislature of 1873 did pass a
strong state credit measure, but the
next legislature repealed it and
failed to adopt anything in its stead.
Since then a proposition to compro-
mise the Indebtedness of the state at
sixty cents to the dollar has been
made to two successive democratic
Legislatures and rejected. If the
party was capable of settling the
debt why wasn't it done.
And as furthur evidence of the
unsoundness of democracy on this
question, two years ago they
adopted platform prepared by a
repudiationist, intended to favor res
pudiation, and nominated and
elected the most dangerous repudia-
ZIONIST in the state for governor. We
admit there are sound state credit
men in the democratic party. We
have no reason to doubt that Gen.
Wright is one of them, and for that
reason we are for him in preference
to Wilson, but we believe it is the
best policy to elect Judge Hawkins.

We hardly know whether certain
Tennessee democrats are most to be
admired for their blissful ignorance
or their wide expanse of brassy
cheek. They call Gen. Garfield a
" salary-grabber,'' referring to the
act of 1872, increasing the salary of
congressman. The fact is Gen.
Garfield opposed that salary bill in
the committee of the whole, and
only voted for the appropriation
bill, Of which it was a part, when it
became evident that it's failure
would render an extra session OF
congress necessity. He never re-
ceived a dollar of the back salary,
but covered it into the treasury al
once. On the contrary, every dem
ocratic Congressman from Tennessee
pocketed the back salary and kept
it. These are the facts, and the
Tennessee democrat who, under thu
circumstances, criticises Gen. Gar
fields acts without also condemnine
the democrats then in congress
from Tennessee, must be either I
fool or very bad man.

Some of the democratic newspa-

hoping that he will get enough
votes to elect Judge Hawkins. We
do not suppose that anything we

democratic partisans that the charge
is false, but SO far as the CHRONICLE
