A Preachers Bill.

DURING the session of our last Read

things occurred. one of which / will re-
late: \ certain Methodist preacher.
who is a shorthand writer besides. had
a bill before the Legislature 10 appoint
i s~tenographer 10 our Court of Appeals.
and finding there were about one hun
dred and fifty bills on the calendar
ahead of his. went into the lobby, and
getting the confidence of a prominent
Readjuster Senator, asked him to call
up his bill out of lis order, which said
Senator promised 10 do. provided he
could get the floor. The preacher be-
ing up TO snuff" went next TO the
PreSidenrof the Senate and asked him
10 recognize the Senator as soon a the
journal was read, which he agreed TO.
and when the hour arrived about a half
dozen Senators arose and called out
MIR. President at the same time,
but the President, true to his promise
recognized the preachers man. who
after looking yer about a dozen bills
on his desk. asked that the Senate take
up Bill No. 65." Our shorthand
friend, in a high state of expectancy.
was almost breathlessly watching these
proceedings. and from the fact that he
considered he had the dead wood
on the Senate. his feelings may be i'm
agined when bill No. 65 proved to be =

A schoolgirls Folly.

Ir is the old story. Blu: the alarm
bell repeats again and again It's note of
warning. therefore we re-tell il.
She WAS The daughter of 4 well-to-do
farmer. and a schoolgirl of fourteen.
He was a youth of twenty-five, disSi-
pated, but fascinating. They met, and
though he was almost a stranger, she
invited him To her .'old Kentucky
home He called once, and was told
by the father, who understood him, not
TO call again. But she, though warned,
would meet him clandeSti2cly again
and again. She was full of romance,
and he of subtletv. Deaf to her fathers
warning and blind Ia the young mans
dissipation. she consented To elope
with him. They ran away and were
married.
In a few months Fleming. for that was
the husbands name. grew tired of his
yirl-wife. She knew it not. for her
eyes were closed by her love. Blu: one
night she awoke to the fact that she had
married a brute. who hated her. He
came home maddened with drink, and
struck her with a hatchet. Even then
she refused 10 listen 10 her fathers ur-
gent request for her 10 return To the old
home. Neglected. insulted, beaten,
she lived with the british man till he
abandoned her. One day she read his
name among the list of the killed on
board of a steamboat. whose boiler had
exploded. Several years passed, and a
few months since she married again
this time TO q worthy man.
One night two or three weeks ago. a
policeman called at the house 10 arrest
her on the charge of bigamv. She then
learned that Fleming was alive, and.
true TO his british instincts. had sworn
out the warrant. When she was ar
raigned in the Police Court the next
morning. Fleming failed 10 appear. and
she was discharged.
Nav o she who runs read the moral
of this sad story? The schoolgirls
folly. the wife's shame and grief. they
are seen. But more distinct than these
may be read the terrible penalty which
follows the infatuation that despiSes the
counsel of a father and surrenders TO
the fascination of a diSsipated youth
Youths Communion.
