was before him. Jack having con
fessed Judgment in law suit. The
rumor that we intended to leave
town got out, and our creditors
rushed in, anxious to secure the
lions share of the effects. The
brussels carpet, the handsome furni
ture, and the costly bric-a- brac, al
went under the hammer at disas-
trously low figures.
"Never mind, " said my fatherin-
law, not shadow Of reproach on his
kind face, let them sGuabble over
it if they will. We must get the sick
ones home
So we got Jack into the carriage,
and with his poor, hot head upon
my knee, and baby IN my arms, l
turned my back upon the scene OF
short lived triumph.
"We are going back to Cherry
Hill," said the old gentleman, as in
the dusk of the golden day we drove
through the dewy stiffness of the
lane.
"The old home has been waiting
for you all these months. 1 was
pretty sure you would come back. :"

swer A great full moon was rising
above the distant hills as we reached
the house. Not the smallest thing
was changed. The great red roses
bloomed on the terrace, the bees
droned in their hives, and the cattle
bells tingled in the barn-yard. The
door was wide open. We carried
Jack in, and laid him down in the
broad, breezy room that had been
our bridal chamber.
He opened his eyes and drew a
deep quivering breath as the refresh
ing breeze touched his throbbing
head.
"Nell, where are you?" he said.
* Surely, this must be home"
''I am here, jack" [ answered
through my tears; "and this is
home-dear, old Cherry HILL
"Thank Godr he murmured, and
fell back upon the pillows, and 1
saw great tears tricl1ling slowly from
beneath his closed eyelids. Beyond
the open window, in the silyery
glory Of the rising moon, the old
grandfather sat, with baby at his
feet, half hidden in rank, cool, grass,
and even at that hour the pigeons
came lowering around her as of old,
and she screamed with rapture as
she clutched at them with her thin,
little hand.
1 rose softly and fell on my knees
beside Jacks low pillow.
"Oh, jack" 1 sobbed. {" 1 have
been so wicked. Forgive me! l am
so glad to be at home again"
His worn face grew radiant, and
his dear arms held me close. And
then and there, clasped to my hus-
bands heart, in the sweet shelter of
the home he loved, understood all
the past.
"You didn't mean it, jack" l
whispered. "You only pretended
to enjoy it to please me-"
He smiled at me with his grave,
fond eyes.
"And oh, Jack, our money is all
gone, and"
He silenced me with a kiss.
No matter, little woman; the
lesson we have learned has been
bought. We shall not care
to leave the safe old nest in search
of fashion and society again"
1 could not answer. l heard my
baby cooling to the pigeons in the
grass, and sat there, clasped in
Jacks forgiving arms, the happiest
woman the round world held.

How 70 Davalon Courage.

When Coppinger, who lately mar
ried MIR. Blaine's daughter, was
stationed at camp Verde, Arizona,
as the captain Of one of the com
panies of the Twenty third Infantry,
in 1872, the writer happened to be
the witness of an incident that il
lustrates the character and disposi-
ton of the man. A band of recruits
arrived one day, filed with fear and
terror of the officer under whom
they were to serve the ensuing five
years. Report and rumor had pic
tured Coppinger to them as being a
pirate captain and prosecutor of his
rank and file. Coppinger, attired in
a suit of clothes that might have
distinguished q teamster, was in the
suffers store when one of the re
cruits entered. Il would like to
see this Capt. Coppinger," said the
recruit. % l understand he's a hard
man." Everybody present expected
Coppinger to annihilate the new
conner, but he did not. On the CON
trary, he engaged him in a pleasant
conversation, in which Capt. Cop
pinger was abused in a manner that
caused the listeners to fear that the
private would be punished for mis-
temerity. Finally, when the vocabu-
larry was exhausted, Coppinger in
troduced himself to the astounded
soldier: I" 1 hope you will think
better of what you have said" re
marked the captain, as he turned to
leave. "Well, see here" replied the
recruit, Il suppose this means guard
house and ball and chain for me, but

that according to all reports, you

1t is generally supposed that our
vital activities are sometimes either
to be restrained or let alone. When
they run to excess and destroy the
balances of our nature, every voice
proclaims the duty of governing and
curbing them, otherwise we are con
tent to let what we suppose to be
swell enough" alone. Life, however,
is positive, not negative. 1t is the
performance of every duty and the
exercise of every function in the ful
lest manner that constitutes u happy
and valuable life. Duty requires us
to carry on all our vital activities
to let none languish or decay.

The timber of Tennessee is as
valuable almost as her minerals, and
has the advantage over them,
in their inexpensive realiza-
tion into money. The forests of the
northwestern and eastern states are
fast disappearing, and their hard
wood timber has nearly all been
cut; therefore the enormous quanti-
ties of walnut, cherry, ash poplar,
hickory, butternUt, oak and cedar
now standing in every section of the
state is needed in commerce and will
command a ready sale at remunera-
tive prices as soon as manufactured
and sent to market. This also re-
quires more capital and additional
transportation facilities to accom-
plish.

Well, the slain were now counted,
and reached the very respectable total
of $500; but lots got away, badly
wounded, many of them to be yarded
in the next days drive. 1 dare say
with those that died in the bush the
tally came up to 5000. Packing up

were brought up, tents struck and

spring carts, drags and wagonettes,
and start made for the next camp

Life In an Arizona Mining Camp.

The following is an extract from
woman's private letter, printed by the
Chicago Tribune: If you could see
me rowl What contrasts there are in
life; indeed, half the world do not
know how the other half live. Here
we are in little mud hut, the floor of
earth and the walls of mud bricks. The
roof is of shingles, but spaces between
permit the wind TO enter and play
round the cabin in gusts a rough bed
of wood stands in one corner with a
wire mattress over that are spreal
buffalo robe and some blankets. Upon
this bed we sleep. There is a rude
fireplace wherein burn brightly
mesquite logs. Two desks and some
campstools complete the list Of furni-
ture. The washstand is unique-a
piece of cactus-stump with broad
single for the top, on which rests a
tin basin. Boxes with shelves nailed
in ornament the walls and serve for
writing-tables, closets, etc. We take
our meals in tent. The cook is
Chinese of course, and very good
meas he serves us-much better than
are obtained at some railway stations.
This is wild, pictur sque spot, on
high plateau, surrounded by mountain
peaks, looking down upon either SIDE
into deep gulches. The country about
is devoid Of yerdure, except the
"scrub" mesquite and chaparal, and
peculiar species Of cacti, resembling
sentincls standing about as they do,
solitary shafts, with occasional arms.
Sons of them look almost human, an
eXcresence forming a sort of head, and
branches like arms protruding at about
the distance from the head that arms
should grow. They are very weird
in the starlight. The queer-lUoking
MeXicans one meets, with the broad
brimmed som zero, and blanket about
the shoulders, recall to mind the
dandies of the play, and involuntarily
ones heart beats quick with fear at
the meeting. Every now and then
the thud of distant blasting almost
makes one imagine a battle afar.
During the day tramp over the hills,
and at night watch for the beautiful
sunset which foods the sky and noun
tains with purple and red" No
where on earth are more startling
effects produced by cloud aud atmos-
phere than here in the wilds of
