Then the apple blooms SHOOK on the hill;
And the mullein-stalks tilted each lance;
And the sun behind "Rapaty's'' mill

and his wife took such fancy to the little
half-csste that he was, in accordance with
French law, legitimatized and registered as
their child. The boy was educated at Nancy
where his father and adaptive mother lived.
and in course of time he married Young
lady OF the town, and died at a very early
age, leaving daughter behind him. Bat
just after be had died his real mother, the
Abyssinian slave, appeared upon the scene,
and she came to claim aim as her son. This
was an incident which had not been forsseep

rALKNEa,s LITTLE BRICK CHURCH.

It can no longer be said that it is impossi-
bic for Southern authors to derive profit
by their labors. Since the organization Of
the government Southern talent and South
ern statesmanship has controlled and d.
rected the general policy of the country.
While this is so the literary talent of the
South has been overshadoWed by that of the
North. But new era is dawning. The
success of Colonel w. c. Falkner's novel,
The White Rose of Memphis, shows that South
srn literature can be made to pay. Over
IL 900 volumes of this novel have been sold,
and from what we can learn Colonel Falk.
ner's new book, the Little Brick Church, will
have still larger sale, as all who have read it
pronounce it thrillingly interesting, and pre-
dict that 1t will secure for its author a lasting
fame. The Little Brick Church is likely to be-
come the subject of national criticism and
discussion for the same reasons that led the
people of all sections TO read Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin. Already
the fanatics of the North have bitterly
assaiIed the Little Brick Church. This ira
duction and yiIiication will stimulate the
desire of the people, both of the North and
South, to read the book, and the probabiii-
ties are that it will be more extensively read
than any novel heretofore published in the
South. Colonel Falkner is one of the
most conservative men in the South. He lie

his goods and marks that price III pam ilg-
ureS on the article lie offers for sale, so that
his customers and the public can see them
evidently means to say to the people, look
ut our goods and prices, they speak for
themselves and invite your patronage, all
tricks of trade are laid aside and business
on the fair, square principles are intro
duced by at once setting before the Gus
toner the best articles att the lowest prices.
IT MEANS that We are courting the
custom OF the most experienced buyers us
well as giving an assurance TO the !neXpe-
ricnced that they are buying their goods
as cheap Us the sharpest buyer.
ITMEANS that We are showing quality
and prices to every one as against all COM
petition, that we are always selling as
cheap rs the cheapest and that none snail

IT MEANS that we are not playing with
customers at the game of asking one price
and selling at another, charging one Gus.
toner more than another, and taking all
we can get from the customer for an ar
ticle. In other words we never charge a
penny more 70 any customer tEsn We can
afford TO sell the article at.
IT MEANS, q confidence in our ability
TO manufacture and buy goods at such
prices as will enable lis TO mark them at 4
selling price that ut once assures the buy
er that they are rs cheap or cheaper than
he can find them elsewhere. This is SIM
ply fair, square business and not inde-
pcndencc, as some people suppose, because
we refuse to "knock or something" when
they buy The fact is this plan means the
knocking off when the goods are marked.
IT MEANS, a common sense, straight
forward honest plan of doing business.

OF this locality, we have for the past Id
years strictly adhered TO ii in our whole

have not only sold the same parties year
after wear, but we are selling the largest
retailers in the United States and received
and filled during the past years the
largest orders ever given by any retail
house in the United States with demand
for our work far beyond our facilities to

The result has been most satisfactory IN

A THRILLING INCIDENT RECALLED.-

feet above that of Washington, and CON
tinued upward, cutting his footholds
with his knife, until he stood 10 feet
above his Mortified companions, whose
entreaties for his return had become
more and more difficult to hear. From
this point he turned for the iirst time
and locked downward, TO see that re-
turn wos impossible; and to advance
was almost impossible, since the knife
that had carried him so far was worn
rearly 10 the handle. Each moment was
one of intense suspense TO his compan-
ions, who from below watched for and
expected his destruction at any time.
Painfully he worked few feet higher,
until The knife was useless, and he hung
seemingly upon the face OF the precipice.
In that position, between hope and fear,
he lived what seemed years, until rescue
came from above in the shape OF lasso,
and he was drawn up to the top Of the
bridge, where he tainted from exhaus-
