sA lssggRsEse say" asked the old
gray-haired MIR. Amidon, as he leaned
back in his chair, and looked inquir
ingly at his handsome young nephew,
who was standing beside the heavily
draped window, looking at the wintry
scene without. eff I had ever had
the chance you have now at your age
I should have considered myself the
luckiest young man in the world.
You are to step into my shoes when
am laid to rest in my grave, and, if
the prospect of my wealth was not
enough, there isanother piece of luck
in store for you--luck consider far
more precious than my gold-a charm
ing little heiress whom wish you to
fall in love with and marry. 1t is a
scheme of my own; and, if you are
wise, you will not oppose my wishes,
Now, what do you say to that?"
Harry Chanson looked at his uncle
with amazement stamped upon his
handsome face. All, what could he
say
A wave of memory rushed over him
as he stood there, and he was think
ing once more of those glorious sum-
mer days he had spent in certain
quiet seaside place where he had first
seen the lovely, girlish face of Tessa
Milton.
She was only governess, and he
had learned to love her, but he had
not realized how passionate was his
love for her until his rich old uncle
wrote to him to return home at once,
in order to transact business of great
importance With him.
And now as ne looked at his uncle
he pictured that old gentleman's an
ger on being informed of his nephew's
love for pretty, golden haired Tessa
All surely it was best to keep all
knowledge of the betrothal from his
uncle, for the present at least,
'And when am I to meet this heir
ess?r Harry asked, carelessly. ''It's
like the plot of play for all the
world
SDon't be impatient, my dear fell
low" Uncle Amidon answered, good
naturally. "She's expected home
the latter part of this week, and then,
Harry, you'll see the most charming
creature in the world. Wait until
you see her, and then tell me whether

But, cautious as our young hero
was, headstrong old Mr.. Amidon dis
covered his nephew's secret,
1t was on the following morning
when, as Harry was hurriedly putting
on his overcoat, letter, which poor
little Tessa had written to him only a
few days before, accidentally dropped,
unnoticed by him, from one of the
pockets, which, an hour later, was
picked up by his uncle; who, after he
had read it, few into terrible rage;

MOTHER'S WORK.

Baking, stewing, and brewing,
Roasting, frying and boiling,
Sweeping, busting and cleaning.
Washing, starching and ironing,
Ripping, turning and mending,
Cutting, baking and stitching,
Making the old like new;
Shoestrings to lace,
Faces to wash.
Buttons to sew.
And the like OF such,
Stockings to darn
While the children play,
Stories to tell
Tears wipe away.
Making them happy
The livelong day:
1t is ever thus from more till night;
Who says that mothers work is light?
At evening, four
Little forms in white;
Prayers all said,
And the last goodnight,
Tucking them safe
In each downy bed
Silently asking
Ger each head,
That the dear Father
In heaven will keep
Safe all my dar|ings,
Awake or asleep.
Then / think the old adage true ever will
1t is easy to labor for those that we love-
All mel dear mel often say,
AS hang the tumbled clothes away,
And the tear drops start,
While my burdened heart
Aches for the mother across the way.
Where, oh, where are
Her nestlings flown ?
All, all are gone,
Save one alone!
Folded their garments
With tenderest care,
Impressed the pillow
And vacant the chair.
No ribbons to tie,
No faces to wash,
No hair all awry;
No merry voices
TO hush into rest;
God save them
He took them
And He knoweth best;
But, ah the heart anguish the tears
that fail!
This mothers work is the hardest of all.

DEATH OF DIR. JAS. w. Dunn.
We take the following sad information
from the Murphy. Bulletin of the 9th :
The deceased was a subscriber to the
CITIZEN, and our personal relations with
him were of a very pleasant character.
The Bulletin says:

at the residence OF. Mr.. Sam1 Henry, in
this place, last Friday morning at 10:40
o'clock, after an illness of about ten days.
Though he had been unwell for the past
year; his many friends were shocked
when they realized that he was on his
death-bed. DIR. Dunn came to Murphy
about five years ago from Bristol, Tenn.
for his health and to practice his profess
sion, dentistry. He made friends of
every one With whom he came in con-
tact by his iovial disposition and affable
manners. and to q friend Il was true
under al circumstances. Not a. Mefat1ve
was present to administer to his wants
during his sickness, but he did not lack
attention, as friends did all in their
power to relieve his sufferings. He was
about "a years of age. He was buried in
Mt. Pleasant cemetery Saturday morn
ing, Rev. Alfred Corn conducting the
funeral services. The funeral was large
ly attended.
He leaves a father, Dr. A. J. Dunn,
and two, sisters, who live in Austin, Tex

Chinese Remains, Prepar-
ed for shipment Creating
Excitement i'm Sam Fran
cisco. v ust

SAN Francisco, CALIFORNIA, Sept. 16.
The discovery yesterday afternoon Of
the horrible practice of Chinese in pre-
pairing the bones of their dead fellow
countrymen orshipment to China, which
has been carried on under the very nose
of the city authorities, has created deep
and intense excitement. The knowledge
that such a mass of putrefactien was ly-
ing exposed in the. very heart of the city,
while at the same time the drainage and
sewers of the city are known to be in p
filthy condition, has created feeling of
fear for the health of the city After all
the boxes containing the remains of the
dead Chinese had been removed to the
moIgue, the coroner was interviewed in
regard to the matter. He stated that
when he arrived at the cellar in.which
the bodies were stored and in which the
purified remains which had still to be
boiled were lying, he set to work to
break open the boxes. There were some
60 bodies in all. Each box contained a
tin case in which, carefully wrapped in
oil cloths, were number of human bod
les. The smaller bones and long strips
of skin were wrapped up in separate par
cells and placed witkin larger ones. On
the outside of each box was label bear
ing Chinese characters, giving the name
of the dead persons within, 80 that ths
remains could be identified by relatives
in China. After having opened several
boxes the coroner concluded to seize the
whole lot and remove them to the NOR
que. Express wagons we're called for the
purpose. While cases were being placed
in the wagons, some of them rolled off
and fell to the pavement, breaking open
and exposing the contents. Tie crowd
which had assembled upon learning the
cause of the excitement jumped on the
bones and in their indignation trod them
under foot. The police Immediately in
terpcsed, and the loading continued
without further interruption. The re-
mains were removed to, the morgue.
Most of the boxes containing the remains
We're on examination found to have come
from cities in the interior States. The
remains were shipped from there to San
Francisco in common tea boxes. Those
that came from the interior aIs boiled
and prepa2ed before klIipment, SO that.
