is a iohlml leaf in my life a tuni-
tluwiie.il nge you liave never read
never even tl reamed ol.
It has not been so very long sinee
wliat I am about to tell you happened;
imt loii"; il measured hy months ant)
years; but sometimes sorrow causes
time to "i by on leaden winirs and it
was so in my wise.
1 had worked hard all the winter
and needed rest. So I packed mv
trui k, and locked my door, and went
into the country to regain my strength
anil make sketches tor new iaiiitinis
I went, down to the little town of
I? ami est tblished myself in the
hotel ln awhile, but linally induced a
.Mr. waudall, who owned a pleasant
farm not far from town, to take me as
a boarder.
It was there I first met Daisy Ran
hill. She was all an artist could paint
or a poet dream of. A perfect des
cription ot tier would bo impossible.
She was ytnnj very younff almost
a child in size; and age. Willowy ol
form, with indescribable grace in every
movement and gesture, complexion
lair as a lily, large, dark blue eyes
and long golden curls. Her face was
perfect enough to rcito as a model for
a sculptor; ami in each velvety cheek
hitl dimples which seemed tit hiding
places for the goddess ol love.
Time passed on; and before I was
conscious of what, I was doing I had
wim her love. I!ut I in return loved
h"r truly and devotedly, notwithstand
ing the dilleience in our ages she
was sixteen, anil 1 twenty-eight. At
last time came, all too soon, to return
home. I told ll.t'sy good-by in our
lavorile dell, where we first met.
"I will come in October and t ike
you away with me Would you like
lo live in New York, little one V
"Oh, so very, very much ! And you
will surely come m iieioiicr, dear .'
"Surely, darling You will write to
me when I am gone ?"
She promised gladly, and I in turn
vowed to remain faithful and answer
promptly.
"Ill send tor you, ill dear, you
ill eome tpiiekly, for that strange
,'Imio' has come back, and I um so
ighteneil ! Troniise me, Will, to
I did so readily, and the next even
lonnd me at home.
It is useless to linger over the story.
I wrote every few 'lays, and was sel- ,
lishly ha;ipy until one evening my
father trailed mi' into his study and
told me in plain English that mv en
gagement with l)aiy must end; thai
I was to marry Miss llermaino C'tuir

determined not to give up Daisy, come
what mio'lil. bat his was the
stronger will, and I yielded at last,
That night at a ball 1 asked Miss
Courcey to become my wile. There
were no tears no blushes all wa
said and done in a quiet and fashiona
ble manner. I would wed her for her
wealth, she would marry me for my
position.
As I stooped lo press Hie Kiss ol

'ace ol my lost darling- eanie before

launted by a pair ol' sad blue eyes
that seemed to tell me ol a hie
wrecked; of a life from which the sun
shine had departed forever. Hut I
hastily piit such thoughts from me,
and tried to think only of my promised
bride.
The next day I wrote to Daisy, tcll-
iii"- her I was to be m irrii'd on the
seventh of October the very day thai
'as to have found me at her side,
(iod forgive me, for I killed her ! Two
days later I received a telegram Ironi
Mr. Randall. It read simply :
'Daisy is dead. Come imme
diately." Like u mad man I rushed from the
house, in a few minutes boarded the
train, and was soon on my way to

llie station and hastened out of the
little town toward the farmhouse.
There was crape mi llie door-oeli, ami
standing in llie bail was Mr. Handali,
who silently opened llie parlor door
and beckoned me in. Then standing
before me, with our darling cold and
dead between lis, he broke tho awful
stillness.
"She recewed your letter on Tues
day, She had been expeoting one lor
N. C, THURSDAY,
some time, and when it was brought
she came running into tho study with
tho letter pressed close to her breast,
saying joyfully, . 'It has como, papa I
Will lias written at last!' She kissed
tho page ere she read it. She was
standing by the window, and I was
busy writing, and so continued my
work. I knew she would tell mo all,
for she clung to me closely after her
mother died, and we loved each other
well. Suddenly n!ic became white as
snow, and called your name' in a shrill
whisper. I knew what it meant
that white face she had had several
attacks before. Hefore I could save
her rIic fell heavily lo the floor. When
I raised her sho was quite dead. 1
did not know, did not oven suspect,
the whole until I read your letter. I
had been tearing her death for some
time, ami do not know but it might
have occurred even if that fatal letter
had never come. lut you killed her,
Will yes, killed her by your treach
ery and cruelly. She might have
lived for years il you had only re
ma'iied true."
I could not answer. I could only
put my head down on her beautiful
curling hair and weep as, I believe,
man has never wept before or since.
I went to the funeral, saw the grave
close o'er my beautiful darling, and
then returned to my saddened home,
The seventh of October came but I
did not marry. And I took up again
the old life, only it was more lonely,
more forlorn, yet cheered by the
thought, that win re there is no mar
riage, neither giving in marriage,
Daisy, my Daisy, has forgiven all, and

SUCCESS.
Swarms of young men and young
woni"n are inst graduating from our
public schools and colleges, a great
minority of whom must go to work at
once to earn a living. Many of them
have already Delected their vocations.
Others have not made a decision, and
have no outlook. Most of these young
graduates aro more or less anxious
concerning their future. All of them
desire to be of the happv number who
succeed in life.
It is a great thing to succeed. A
fair success iu business is worth nil it
commonly costs of devotion and indus
try. Ami there is, at leant, one way
by which success may ordinarily be
attained; and that is by learning how
to do something that people want done;
by doing it well, and striving each day
to do it better.
If you arc a doctor, you should seek
to be the doctor of your neighborhood.
Even if you s dl fish, yon should bo
sure to deliver them fresh, iu nice or
der, at the most convenient time, and
for a fair price. Yonrs should be the
neatest store, where the promptest at
tention is given to customers, and
whero the greatest variety of fish sold
in your neighborhood can Lo found.
If you are so unfortunate as to publish
a paper, never rest until you have
inaile it the best of its kind in tho
world. You probably never will place
it at the head, but you must always
seek for that result. If you do, your
paper will bo a success.
Sixty years ago, Voter Cooper kept
a little grocery store in Uio Bowery,
New York, within a few yards of the
spot where tho Cooper Institute now
stands. A man came into his store
one tlay, and said:
"I built a glue factory for my son.
lie can't make it go. I'll sell it to yon
lor two thousand dollars."
Upon inquiry, Voter Cooper found
that all the best glue came from Uusia,
and brought a high price, while the
glue made i'i New York was very
poor stuff, and was sold at a rato that
t'orbado all chance of profit. Ho said
to himself:
"Why can't glue be made as good
in quality here iu America as in Rus
sia? I think it can be. I'll try."
lie bought tho factory. Then he
commenced studying the process by
which glue is made. He tried endless
experiments; superintended every
boiling himself; kept trying for years,
always improving his product, until
Peter Cooper's glue commanded tl o
highest price, and literally ruled tho
market.
What he did with glue, (Jillot did
with pens, Jonas Chiohoring with the
piano, Fairbanks with scales; and, if
you succeed fairly and handsomely,
you must do just so with "something."

CURED BY A DOQ WHISTLE,
reek s Sun.
A Milwaukee business man has got
an idea that his lungs aro not sound,
and occasionally he will hear a slight
whistling in the bronchial tubes, and he
thinks the lime has come, lie bores his
wife half to death getting her to lis
ten nt his chest, to hear any sound of
warning that his end is near at hand.
She knows his lungs are all right, and
tries to convince him of the fact, but
he thinks he is liable to die of con
sumption at any moment. In his olliee
ho has a leather chair, the cushion of
which is filled with air, with a small
cseapo valve, so when ho sits down
there is a noise liko tho hiss ot a locomo
tive letting off steam. The other
morning his son, who is full of fun,
took a dog whistlo and inserted the
month ot it into the holo where the
air escapes from tho cushion, and they
all laid for the old party.
lie came, in pulling from climbing
the stairs, and when he sat down iu
the chair there was an unmistakable
whistle, which brought the men in
from the next room. The old man
turned pale, and moved around in the
chair, and the whistle sounded again,
ami the man with the lungs thought
his time had come, 1 It has come at
last," said he, as his sou came in,
looking sad. "What has come,
father? You are not ill," said the
dude, as he put his handkerchief to
his weeping eyes to keep from laugh
ing. "What has emtio? Can you
ask that? Dont't you hear my lungs?
I am a mighty sick man, and you can
send for a doctor and a lawyer, and a
minister." Ho got up to reach a paper
out of a pigeon hole, and when ho sat
down lhre was awful whistle, and ho
said, "O, how it pains me. Semi for
your mother, for I shall never be able
lo go home."
The boys gathered around him to
comfort him, and the son reached
down and took hold of the whistle,
and said, ''I guess if I take this dog
whistle out ol the chair you will
breathe easier, pa," and ho took the
whistle out, and when the old man
saw what had made the noise he got
up, and by the way he howled and
said he could whip the man that played
it on him, they thought his lungs
were all right enough.
FRIENDLY YANKS AND REBS.
The ground which separated the pickets was
covered with heavy timber. Strict orders had
been Issued against our nu n entering the neu
tral ground, as some of Ihein had used Has a
cover to desert lo llto enemy.
The winter was very cold and wood was
scarce and the Utile we could procure for die
picket line had to bo carried a mile on our
shoulders, 'his seemed a hardship when
there was so much wood Just in front of us.
Due hitler cold day we concluded lo disobey
otdi'is by culling wood In front if our friends
on the other side did not object. Not a shot
hud been exchanged since our advent, a month
previous; in fact, we had not even had tt
glimpse of llie "boys in blue," w ho, no doubt,
were as anxious for some of the wood as we
were. After pounding aav for some time
witli onr wont out Confederate axes, mi tin
armed found of Federals appeared, who
greeted us with : "Hello, Johnnies ! aro you
after wood?" Iu a few minutes "Yunks" and
"Hobs" were on the best ot terms. Slr.tnge
sight, but. ncverlheless liue. The Federals
tendered us the use ot Hu ll' shai p axes, which
were readily uccepli'd. Some of the Federals
were so anxious lo show their kind feelings for
us that they actually helped us to cul our
wooii ! This neighborly feeling existed as lung
as wo remained there. Once some of the Fed
erals Invited me to accompany llictn lo their
picket lint, and dine with them. 1 expressed
grave doubts about get! lug hack, but I hey as
fined me on Hu ll' honor as soldiers thai If 1
went they would see me returned safely. Will
this assurance 1 went and remained for more
than hour. They vied Willi each other ill hos
nilaliiv. lint with all their assurance!, 1 felt
III at case, for I did not know u li.it might pi
vent my return, and In such tin event I would
be classed us a deserter. Ilut ti tle to llieir
promise, 1 was safely returned. Thcso fuels

LEARN ACCURACY.
A wilier In the School Journal, who places
accuracy amorg the elements ot a noble char
acter, lays every boy aud girl should state Ihe
exact truth, do everything: Just rilit, and learn
Ihe exact meaning of each lesson, lie illus
trates the luipoiiuiico of accuracy by this
story :
Two boys worked iu llie same store. I hey
were named John and James I heir duties
were alike, and they weto required to be there
at half past seveu in the morning.
John was always there on time or a few
minutes before the time; James fame some
lime after. When John arranged the goods
In the windows Ihcy were accurately marked
and priced. James often forgot to put tliO
I umber on, or price I them Incorrectly.
These are onlv two ot the things which
marked llie distinction between llie two hoy
Hat every day and week Ihcy grew further
opart-John doing Ids work accurately, and
therefore well: Jamca elighllnir all he con
veniently could.
Soon John was promoted for carefulness lu
hit duties, James was warned to alter his
manner, and because lie continued careless in
his mauncj, was finally discharged.
The accurate boy, bocauso of his carefulness
and good Judgment, grew to bo a wealthy,
8 -If -made man. Men liked U deal wllh him;
they were sure of being treated tuirly.
James tried sovernl positions, but lost them
on account of his Inaccuracy In little details;
and, though ho gets through the wot Id some
how, he has no happiness or success, which,
wltb the samo opportunities, John achieved.
