The burden upon her seemed 30

friend and ask for advice. She thought
Of Mary Norton. She was a Union
girl, but she was as true as steel. She
knew she could trust her. Vending
her way to Mr.. Norton's cottage she
came up to it just as a squad Of sold

did in the country home.
"Oh," said Mary, "they are bush
whackers. See their gray blankets
and jackets. What can we do with
fathers gun, for they'll take 1t, and
say too he's a soldier, and may kill
himf"
Running frantically with the gun,
trying to hide 1t, she struck 1t on
something, and the hammer falling,
it went off, the bullet passing through
the open door and very near to the
head Of one of the soldiers who had
just stopped at the stile. In an instant
every gun was leveled at the door.

If You were here, the changing sea-
Now gold or green, now purple coy,
Now winsome blue at smiling noon,
And fading pale at eve too soon
Would prove a fairy place, where
My thoughts a million gems would
wear
To celebrate their joy.
If you were here, the wilful road,
M~eandering now hard by the sea,
Avoiding, claiming, risking sheer,
Now hiding in a woodland drear,
Would be a magic lane. whose end
Would golden gifts and rubies lend
TO lure MS constantly.
The thickly wooded island there,
That stretches long and dark and
still
The white sand girding all the land,
T'affright the steps of pirate band
Would be a mystic shore where we
Would search the key Of things to be,
And find it at our will.
If you were here, the crescent moon,
Queen regnant of the fitful tide,
Who gilds the crest of every wave,
Proclaiming it her loving slave,
Would fill the sea from brim to brim,
Forgetful of her ebbing whim;
And here our bark would ride.
And all the shells along the strand
Would empty out their sea.song lore
Upon the flying evening gale
And both should push u silken sail
Far off to a sweet scented land,
Where we would wander, hand in hand.
Nor part for evermore.

A Protest.

The ladies of our town deserve much
credit for and all possible encouragement
in their untiring efforts in establishing
and maintaining The Henderson Ii
brary. Let all friends of culture and of
education give them this encouragement
both by word and by action.
But while doing this, | am conscience
bound to protest against a portion of
the entertainment given in Burwell Hall
last Thursday night, Aug 90 In the in
terest OF public morals would feel called
upon to condemn this if it had been in a
circus or a theatre. The fact that it was
given by our townspeople does not mod
lily the matter at all. Nor does the fact
that this part of the entertainment was
rendered by children make it less obiec-
tionable. need not specify since the OBJ
Jectlonable feature was so evident
This is said with a feeling OF deepest
interest fin the Library itself and in all
proper means to support and add to it;
also in all kindness and with all the mild
ness | have, but with the same deryee of
tirmncsS as of mildness.

EQl Al TO THE OCCASION.

1t can hardly be. denied, even by
his enemies, that in his New York
speech Mr. VIM. J. Bryan rose to the
heigh, OF the occasion. His argument
was marked by ability and clearness-
by ability of high order. The free
silver case has not, indeed, been pre-
sented by anybody at any time with
more power than he brought to its dis
cussion. Before this matter is done
with a good many persons are apt to
change their opinions concerning this
young man. There is a good deal
more TO him than voice and action, as
some persons seem to suppose. He
is such man, for instance, as Mr..
VIM. Mckinley would not care to
meet him in debate-Charlotte d.

Goods and produce are too cheap

Lines of goods have been reduced
more than 50 per cent. in the past six
