A few DAYS later young girl walked into
Nashville, who had never been in a city be-
fore. She asked but one question the
way to the governors house. That Access
sible mansion was readily found doors were
swinging open; and, announced by sleepy
darkey, Janey Bleylock stood in the gov
ernor's presence.
With fine courteous manner, that gen.
tleman listened, struck by her figure, her
full voice, and passionate eyes. He prom
Used to use his influence with the president
to procure a pardon for Dick Oscar and
the Bleylocks, and Janey was allowed to go
to the prison with the cheering news.
The mountain girl was beard of in high
circles. Hearts beat warmly in lovely
Southern bosoms, and they made heroine
of Janey.
"Why don't you marry here?" said beau
tiful enthusiast, who had called to see
Janey, and kissed her, because she knew
SO we'll how to love-" Marry here, and
I'll give you wedding DRESS"
so we will, said Dick Oscar, when he
was out of prison.
And Janey went home a wife, as if the
stars had been diamonds, and strung like a
larkspur chain for her neck-father, broth
ers, husband, sheltering her in their love.
Mrs. Bleylock and Eliza ran to meet
them. Eliza thought perhaps some one
else would come with them. Had not her
lover left her with kiss and a promise to
come back?
The pink ribbon was round her neck.
Her lips were parted in happy, vacant
smile.
The old father was in advance. He thrust
out his arm as Eliza drew near. Don't
you speak to mel"
"Pappy"
Damn your tattlin' tonguel Keep away
from my hands!'
: The smile had gone. The vacant look
spread over the face that turned helplessly
to her brothers.
You ought to be whipped Ikea niger,
said Sam BIeylock. "What'd you tell that
peddler bout Oscars still for? Might q
known he was foolin' you"
81 didn't tell where the still was"
"Ho! you lie, too" And her father, pass
ing by, struck her with the back of his
hand.
Shame on you, pappy!" and Janey ran
to her sister, over whose lips the blood was
pouring.
Her husband drew Janey away, Don't
touch her, - he said with look of disgust,
''she amt fit"
A wild terrified look swept over Janey's
face. Should she grasp at the wind blow
ing in the tree tops above her? She caught
Dick Oscars arm, holding it fercely. Here
was something to clasp, to cling to. Hel
soul shrivelled in her ardent body.
Afterward Eliza Bleylock seemed tc
wither away. She repeated her denial OF
having been a traitor, but no one ever be-
lieved her. She worked hard, and was used
roughly. She had never been strong
Sometimes she stole away and nursed
Janey's baby, that seemed to love her. But
never when Dick Oscar was at home.
One day, sitting by the spring alone, toe
weak since long while to work, she leaned
her head against tree, and with one moan
too faint to startle the singing birds, she
died
Her mother and Janey dressed her clean
ly, and tied around her neck pink ribbon
that they found in her bible. And she was
buried, with very little said about it, in the
ralley.-!Sherwood Bonner in Harper's

High Rents in New York.

Letter 70 PHI. IlmeB.
There is a rise in rents. Offices in the
lower part of the city have risen from TWEEN
ty to one hundred per cent. This is be-
cause more people want offices than for
merly. There is more of the sort of bust
ness transacted which calls for offices
than in former years. Men who used to
keep their Offices in their hats or on the
curbstones have felt.the boom of general
prosperity and have hired rooms and fur

chocolate every morning for breakfast will
preserve indefinitely. If that be 80, then,
indeed, this article has not been written in
vain. The author of "The Physiologie du
Gout' says that however copiously you
may have lunched, cup of chocolate imme-
diately afterward will produce digestion
three hours after, and prepare the way for
good dinner. He also strongly recon-
mends it to the man of pleasure; to every
one who devotes to brain work the hours
he should pass in bed; to every wit who
finds he has become suddenly dull; to all
who find the air damp, the time long and
the atmosphere insupportable; and, above
all, to those who, tormented with q fixed
idea, have lost their freedom of thought.
To make chocolate Git must never be cut
with knife an ounce and half is requi-
site for cup. Dissolve it gradually in hot
water, stirring it the while with wooden
spoon; let it boil for a quarter of an hour,
and serve it hot, with milk or without, &C
cording to taste. More than fifty years
ago, relates Brillat- Savarin, Mime. dare
strel, the lady Superior of the Convent of
the Visitation at Bielley, told me that if
wished to drink really good chocolate, it
must be made the night before in an earth
enware pot and left. The nights repose
concentrates it and gives it softness which
makes it much BETTER

Art is LOng-Life is Short.
From the London Temple Bar.

Thucydides was at least 20 years in indi-
eating his great work. and that work is COM
prlsed in an octave volume. Demosthenes
made no great secret of the pains he ex-
pended in forging his thunderbolts against
Philip and Eschines; Diodorus informs us
that he was 80 years in composing his his
torv; and SO fastidious was Plato that the
Republic" was turned in nine different
ways before he could satisfy himself. If
we are to believe Quintilian, Isocrates was
no less than 10 years on his "Panegyric. I"
Giannone was engaged for nearly the same
period over his History of Naples"
Boileau and Pope would spend whole days
over couplet, Charlotte Bronte an hour
over word, and Gray a month over short
copy of verses. There is o poem Of ten
lines in Waller which he has owned cost
him whole summer. Gibbon wrote the
first chapter of the Decline and Fall three
times before he was satisfied with it, and
nearly quarter of century elapsed before
the entire work was completed. John Fos-
ter, the essayist, would sometimes linger
week over sentence. Addison was SO fas-
tidious that Johnson tells us he would stop to
inseltan epithet or even comma. Sainte-
Beuve expended incredible pains on every

Puddings For q Dyspeptic.

Here are recipes for two buildings which
dyspeptic may eat without after inconven-
fence.
l. Line deep bowl with bread dipped in
hot water sailed a little, then fill full
of sliced apples. add a cupful of white su-
gar and bit of grated nutmeg, cover with
more of the dipped bread and steam for
two hours. If put in mould it comes to
the table very nice.
2. Four crackers pounded fine, five good
sized apples chopped coarsely, cup of
raisins, two eggs, a cup of sugar, table
spoonful of butter, pinch of salt, and any
favoring which may be agreeable. Wet
the powdered cracker with about four table
spoonfuls of milk, beat the eggs and stir all
the Ingredients until well mixed; put into
buttered mould and steam three hours For
sauce-A tablespoonful of .cornstarch dis
solved in little cold water, then boiling
water added till the compound is of the
right consistency; add a tablespoonful of
butter, sugar and favoring to taste.

Look Over the Garden Seeds

by themselves and put in separate box or
pan the kinds that must be sow early under
glass, and place those to be planted early
out of doors in another. If any are of du-
bious quality don't depend upon them; and
if of dubious age make test of their pow
er of termination by putting few on damp
sand in a warmth of about 60 degrees for
hardy native kinds. They will terminate
at less. Lettuce, onions, parsnips, peas,
beets, ETC., can be safely sown when the
soil is cold as 40 degrees" if it is but dry
enough to crumble. But the vegetables of
southern origin cannot endure to be made
wet in such state of the thermometer, and
so the tender beans, corn, cucumbers and
squashes must not be set into the soil until
it is warmer. If the seed of corn and its
companions is perfectly fresh and sound,
and the soil naturally warm, light, and not
liable to pack, it is safe to SOW early in
May--otherwise not till near June. The
common bush beans and summer squashes
will vegetate at a lower temperature than
other tender seeds.

SingleiDahlias Fashionable.

Ever since the gaudy single dahlias were
discovered in Mexico and introduced int
the gardens of Europe, the gardeners have
exerted themselves to produce double flow
ering varieties in great numbers and of al
most every imaginable color. Single
lowered varieties were considered as no
worthy OF cultivation; but having reached
as near perfection perhaps as possible with
the double sorts, the single sorts have be-
come fashionable, and now we find Euro
pean Tourists offering Zine strains" of
single lowered dahlias, and even foricul-
tural journals publish elegantly colored
illustrations of these flowers. Our readers
who have been striving to get together a
fine assortment of double dahlias may cease
their labors, for such varieties are no longer
in fashion, and no one wants to go contrary
to fashion even in the way Of flowers.
