Miss Blanche Murray is a very

happened to catch her little brother
smoking.
"You terrible thing" she hissed,

the boy, penitently.

A Festive Stage Driver.

A Nevada stage-driver says he has
been more exasperated at his failure
in his effort to run down a hog than
by being robbed by road agents. He
SAYS he has gone with rush down u
steep grade with tive-ton stage and
six in hand after a hog, and just at
the moment when he expected to
catch the flying grunter under the
fore wheel it would lurch to one side
with a grunt of satisfaction at its
narrow escape. He never succeeded
in running down a hog except in one
instance. In that case the hog had
just succeeded in lodging train Of
cars coming out of a tunnel, and was
too much ratified to escape him. He
ran it down, but upset his stage and
killed two passengers, besides MAIN.
ing two for life.

KISS ME TOO"

In the paint shop Of the Michigan
State Prison, is Il man called jim,
doing q life sentence. Up to last
spring he was regarded as - desperate,
dangerous man, ready for rebellion ut
any hour. He planned q general
outbreak and was "givcn away" by
one of the conspirators. He plotted
general mutiny or rebellion, and
was again betrayed. He then kept
his own counsel, and while never
refusing to obey orders, he obeyed
them like Il man who only needed
backing to make him refuse. One
day in June party of strangers came
to visit the institution. One was an
old gentleman, the others ladies, aud
small children. The guide took one
of the children on his arm, and the
other walked until the party began
climbing the stairs. Jim was working
near by, sulky and morose as ever,
when the guide said:
"Jim, won't you help this little girl
up stairs I"
The convict hesitated, a scowl on
his face, and the little girl held out
her hands to him and said:
"lf you will, | guess I'll kiss your
His scowl banished In IN instant,
and he lifted the child rs tenderly as
a father. Half way up the stairs she
kissed him. At the head Of the stairs
she said
Now you've got to kiss me, too"
He blushed like u woman, looked
into her innocent tace and then kissed
her cheek and before he reached the
foot Of the stairs again he had tears
in his eyes. Ever since that day he
has been u changed man, and no one
in the place gives less trouble. Maybe
in his faaway Western home he has
4 little Katie of his own. No one
knows, for he never reveals his inner
life, but the change so quickly wrought
by child proves that he has q heart,
and gives hope that he may forsake
his evil ways.

I thought to give you surprise last
night" continued presently, "and
went to the ball; there the tables
were turned very unexpectedly, and
I was the one surprised. You didn
know that there were spectators when
the little scene was enacted in the
conservatory, but there were two, Mr..
Seymour, ut whose love for me you
have 40 often laughed, and myself"
"Mabel--" began Philip, in an
expostu1ating voice.
"Do not say anything" ! interrupt
ted, sadly. ''Tt would do no good.
Here is your ring; may you be happy,
and may your new love prove as true
as your old"
l was trembling in every limb, but
he saw by MY face that would hear
nothing. Still he ventured to say,
his voice-that voice which had been
such music to my car-broken with
"Mabel, may have been talse, but
l loved yOu."
Iput up my hand and shook my
head.
"Men do not show their love in
that manner. You had better 90; We
cannot mend matters. You don't
wish it-neither do l."
He held out his hand l did not
touch it, but looked ut him quietly.
He turned and left me in silence.
l heard the door close after him, and
it seemed rs if it had shut out life
and light and love forever.
One year passed. My father had
heen informed that my engagement
had been broken, but, thinking that
I had my own way with every body,
as had with him, concluded that it
was my own fault, and troubled him
self no more about it.
So the year dragged wearily on;
the year which was the marriage Of
Helen Egcrton and Philip Lawrence,
and made me the bctrOthed wife of
Henry Seymour, whose untiring kind
ness won my heart, not so fresh as
it once was, nor perhaps 80 deeply
loving, but just as honest and true.

The sad story Of those poor states
men who were offered bribes in Maine
is very touching. They should have
given the bribers a black eye at the
start, instead Of fooling around and
feeling Of the dirty money, with the
possible chance that it might be pock-

RUTH.

All, her face is very fair,
Snowy white and rosy red;
And the glorious golden hair
Hovcrs mist.like around her head.
And her voice is soft and low,
Clear a. music and a. sweet:
Hearing It; you hardly know
Where the sound and silence meet.
All the magic, who can tell,
OF her laughter and her s,ghs;
Or what heavenly meanings dwell
In her kind, conAding eyes.
Pretty lips as rubies bright,
Scarcely hide thy tiny pearls;
Little wandering stars Of light
Love to neftle in her curls.
All her ways are winning ways,
Full of tenderness and grace;
And watching sweetness plays
Fondly DER her gentle face.
True and pure her soul within
Breathing Gods serener air.
Evil, and tho shame Of sin,
Cannot dwell n moment there.

Not crow was heard, not canvassing nOte,

Ger the grave where the Boilers were buried
We buried 'em openly in broad day light,
The scale by our strnight tickets turning,
They struggled in vain with their puny might,
And the rancor Of defeat, Ill burning.

No useless sympathy filed our breast
Nor did We in anger surround cn,-
We first laid 'em down and gave 'em rest
While We shouted Victory around 'em.
Few afid short were the prayers w said-s
And We spoke not word Of sorrow--
If any one shed tears on the face Of the dead
He certainly had EN- to borrow.
We thought M we followed out their political

And rumpled their Radical pillow.
That their friends would yell and snort and

While We rode on victory's billow.

There was a rousing ~railrcai meeting he'd
at Mooresville on last Saturday to consider

solidation with the Virginia Midland Rail
road. The Charlotte Obserrer reports the

Speeches were made by Maj. j. Turner

c. Wilson, President of the Winston, Salem

Col. Charles r. Jones and others. The OBJ
ject Of the meeting appears 70 have been TO
encourage the Virginia Midland Road TO
push its connection through to the line Of
railroads centering at Charlotte. Ii was
given out that the Baltimore 4 Ohio Rail
.oad was really the corporation making the
move. 1t looks as if there were a strong
probability Of the consolidation, and the

G.. Fowle. Without disparaglng any man,

Fowle. at the head of the Democratic ticket

and reputation would make his election
Snre Therefore, let us have Fowl tor

their selection of officials by local and one

point, that the habit of instructing delegate
receives all of its injurious vitality an
potency. One consideration, and by 4
means Insignificant, is, that the count
which is so unwise as to thus fetter its del

How AN ARAB LADY PERFUMES HERSELF.
In the floor of the tent or hut, az it may
chance to be, a small hole is excavated sutfi-
cientlarge to contain a common champagne
bottle a FIRE Of char coal or of simply glow
ing embers is made within the hole, into
which the woman about to be scented
throws a handful Of drugs. She then takes
of the cloth or 'tope' which forms her
dress and crouches naked over the fumes,
while she arranges her robe to fall as a
mantle from her neck to the ground like q
tent. She now begins to perspire freely in
the hot air bath, and, the pores of the skin
being thus opened and moist, the volatile
oil from the smoke of the burning perfumes
is Immediately absorbed. By the time that
the fire has expired the seeming process is
completed, and both her person and her

ARE NEGROES CowARDLY.-One Of the
ante beuum theories that time is gradually
exploding is that the negro lacks physical
courage. As slaves, and for a long time a.
Freedmen" the darkey would fight in fis-
ticuffs, and run any kind Of risk, provided
there were no Issue OF fatality connected
With it. For years after the war a single
white man, with knife or pistol, could put
to fight a score of rowdy negros. But the
black man is developing. Aspirit OF emula-
ton, if no other motive, is beginning to
hold him firm amid many perils. Instances
Of courage and manhood by the black-skinn-
ed race are no longer rare. Here is a spec
