Why, that is voting for a giant like you, and I cannot spare you to 'cross the river,' no pray don't talk about it any more.''

The house keeper has retired and she sits quite ululic, her check resting on her hand, and her eyes seeing very sad pictures iu the coals. Her thoughts are sad thoughts picturing that niiiiiiiiful birth-night so long ago. "Horn under a cloud," she is thinking, "Ah. me! 1 once thought my life should nut be saddened by that. 1 have tried to remember my dear father's dying words, and make my life worth living. 1 must and will, even now ! (), hnw weak 1 aui how unlike my brave, sweet mother" ! she glances around the room. "It was just about this time what wits that?" oiees in the hall below. She opens the door and listens. "In her sitting room? Will you ask her to let mo come up ?" A strange thrill shoots through heart and brain, bringing a minute's uncon sciousness. That Voice! He stands before her in her mother's room. "Carolyn, I know all that happened here. Can you ever forgive the harsh ness of the last words I spoke to you? Here, in this room, 1 beg you to forgive me, and in my person, for my sake, fur give him ! The old negro has told me all. He wrote lno the oddest letter, which I should hardly have answered, as I did, in person, if Atbertou Hall had not been the place of all places 1 wanted to sec. I did not even know that you were here. I see now how impossible it was that you could listen to mc, how impossible it is that you can ever be my wife. Ho said that he had become possessed with the idea that I had judged you harshly; you having told him that you gave ine great offence, and had been unkind ; and he wanted me to know what your life had been. Why did you never tell mo? I did not dream your life hud been a sad one; though those wonderful eyes sometimes looked so wistful, your lips were always smiling. What it would be to shield you from all this loneliness, I cannot say. I must no longer think of that. Even if yon careiK'or me (live mo your hand, my love, and say that von forgive ine, and I will never usk so hard a thing of you again.'1 She lifts her great eyes to his face and lays her baud in his. "I have forgiven your father, for your sake. Vernon. Hut there is one thing I can never forgive his son." The sudden eager light dies out of bis eyes. "Ymi ilo not ask me what that is? Von do not wish lo know?" she asks gently. "Why should I wish to know? I thought once" "Then you think I ought to keep it in my own heart and never tell you? You may be right, but 1 think it is better that you should know the worst." Her voice, so low and soft, so full of something strangely sweet, thrills him through. "What is it Carolyn? This is torture. What, do you mean? I will know the worst. You cannot forgive me that is what you said. For what ?'' "For making me love you." She puts both hands over her face, but he takes them away and lift her bead and looks eagerly, longingly into her eyes. They tell him now their own sweet story, and he is lumpy.

Tis not always (beaten be thanked!) that so solemn a significance is iiu arled by these wonts: yet even iu the current life, that sweeps by us unheeded even then, to the reflective mind, they carry with them a sadness and a passing grid.

I'mple of Xorlh ('iiriJimr. The Confederate Home Association of North Carolina was organized nt Char lotte on May, 20, 1881, for the purpose of raising the means and establishing in North Carolina a suitable home for such of our soldiers as may be found unable to maintain themselves by rea-soti of wounds, diseases or age. The association elected the following Directors: (inventor Thomas J. Jurvis, Ceneral 11. F. Hoke, General Alfred M. Scales, Ceneral Hul'us Haringer, ('apt. K. 11. Stamps, Lieutenant Thomas !. Skin ner, Major Klias Carr, Colonel Wharton .1. (irci'li, Captain Octavius, Coke, Celo- r . .i . II l nel .lohn :. tilinu r, senator ii. t auce, Colonel It. F. Aruifiyld. Major W. A. (jiahuin and Captain .lames L. liobiu- Slltl. The Honorable Joseph J. H.tvis, of Franklin county, with Slate Treasurer J. M. Worth, and Julian S. Carr, of Dur ham county, were elected Trustees. The duty of the Trustees is to rt ive, at the end of each mouth, from tlm Treas urer, all money iu bis hands and safely keep the same, subject to the joint action of the Directors, Trustees and 1 'resident. Samuel C. White, Cashier of the State Nati il Hank, llaleigh, North Carolina, has been made Treasurer, and Charles W. Lambeth, Secretary. All contributions in money should be lurwurded to the 1 reasurer, ami all other communications should be addressed to the 1 'resident of the Association, llaleigh, North Carolina. The amount required to carry out the plans of the Association is one hundred thousand dollars, and the hope is enter tabled by the Directors and President tin t every dollar of this sum will be eontiiliu ted by the people ol North ( aaolma. arious ways are practicable and pleasant for the raising of this money and we hope everybody will cheerfully and enthusiastically engage m aiding, in some manner, this noble and greatly needed chairty. Organisation in every part of the Mate should be formed for collecting money, and every contribution offered should be gratefully accepted. It will only reiiure an average of ten cents from each white person iu the State to build and fully equip tho Home. Kvcry five cents contributed will m ike and place at east one brick in the house. To collect an average often cents from each whito person would prove an easy task if the people generally, or the old soldiers and ladies, will organize in each township and earnestly undertake the vork. No form of organization is necessary; simply meet, agree to go to work and go to work and it will not require very long for us to raise the sum needed to provide for our unfortunate defenders. Can you not, and will you not, organize at once, and collect this money before the State Impo sition, that we may have the double ex hibition iu October of our c mnd resources anil of our rharacter as a gYeat and gen erous people ! 1 he nu n at the licail ol this Association have been honored by vim in many ways and on li any occasions, lint 1 venture to say no pn udcr liioinent has ever occurred, or will ever occur, iu their lives than will be tin t one which witnesses the laying of the corner-store of this Home that is to shelter and support our needy and deserving veterans. W hen a sunicient amount lias been con tributed the Trustees, Directors and Presi dent will meet, select a site ind plan and commence the erection o' the Home. Shall this time be in 18SI ? It rests with you to decide this question, and to you I commit its answer, trusting and believing that you will prove yourselv as good ami noble in tins instance as you have always lone when tho lame, the halt and the blind have appealed to you fur charity. hat more can 1 say I 1 know not; for if the aged and trembling forms, the dis eased bodies and the crippled conditions of these veterans, whose I tubs lie buried on fieli'i made famous by their peerless coNil.lct as Nt rth Caroliiiiuii, do not appeal with sufficient force to arouse your gen erosity in their behalf, no words I could write will ever bring you to a proper realization of their just and merited claims.

The gloaming deepens, the stars arc ready to peep out, and soou another week, with its lights and shadows, and all of its lutsv, bustling scenes will be over. The weary mechanic lets fall the saw or Initchet or chisel from his worn out and almost nerve less granp. The laborer on the farm leaves the plow at the end of the furrow iu ibe HUiililshed Work. 1 he lawyer quits bis brief; the doctor bis office; the merchant his counter; the editor his sanctum, and the pour printer his case, where the monot onous click, click, click has been heard all through the week; and all warm a wel come for Saturday night.

Wilson Mirror. HOI! ItOVS I l lll.H S SVYOKII. John McGregor has at his home, at Washington and DcKnlh avenues, Hrook lyn, a sword which he believes belonged to Hubert Hoy MacGrogor's father. Mr. .MacGrcgor is h2 years old. lie w is away from home last evening, but his daughter-in-law led a reporter into a dining hall or namented with stags' heads and weapons of war and tho chase. From one corner she dragged forthastraight-bladed, double- edged, two-handed claymore, with a strong iron basket hilt as big as a fencing mask and twice as deep. The blade is four feet long and two and a half inches in width. The reporter tried to draw the blade from the scabbard, but it resisted all his efforts. The scabbard ought to come oil." said the Young lady. "I know it used to, and the blade was bright and in good order. There is said to be only one sword like this iu the world imw. and that is iu the tower of London. That sword came into our family twenty years ago. Mr. Hubert Mae- regor. who is now dead, was then a dry- goods merchant of Philadelphia.

A Hot Springe (Ark.) special of the llithsays: A desperate shouting affray between two members broke up the services at a church of a settlement six miles east of lu re yesterday. Tw o young men, named Leiu Dishowan and Peter Lewis attended church with the avowed purpose of taking In mie the minister s young daughter, ami when lcwis moved from his own into the minister's family pew while tho sermon was iu progress Dishowan drew his revol ver and opcued fire upon him. Ia'W.s re turned the fire, and the congregation made rapid exit by way of doors and windows. Neither was hurt, and, both being dis armed, they agreed to go m the woods and light it out with fists. Ilcfore they started, I lie girl, who was the cause of the light, desired to speak privately with Lewis fur a moment, which was granted. While the congregation were awaiting the result of the list tight a pistol shot was heard from the direction of the scene of conflict. The congregation hurried to the spot and found Dishowan lying on the ground dying 1 1. .lo u Mint through the lungs. !!' said that he was gelling the better of Iicwis. when tho latter drew a derringer quickly from his boot leg ami shot him. The girl had placed tjie wtiqion there during her brief conference with Lewis just before the fight. Ijcwis may be lynched. OI K YOl MJ WOMI'.N. The young women of the day are more industrious, more enterprising, more ambi tious, better workers, students, and in every way superior to the average young man. They have push and brains; ure gentle, atl'is'lioualo and sympathetic; will make any sacrifice for the man whom they love, are charitable, kind and lovable; are better tilled (han those of any preceding genera lion to adorn anil make complete the na tion's home. Young women w. extend ing rapidly their usefulness dally becoming lunrc self.)pTbifl iilli iliileH'ptleut. They are turning tlieir accomplishments tp prac tical account and branching out into fields of industry hitherto filled by men ur total ly unfilled. They aro growing more in telligent, more attractive, more thoughtful, and not less womanly and charming. The young men of (his generation should strive to deserve such sisters and sweethearts. A good man and a wise man may at timet be grieved with the world, but uo man is ever discontented with the world if be does Iiii duty iu it. The ktaiuhinl, DONT DEPEND ON FATHER. Stand up here, young man, and let us talk to you. You have trusted alone to the contents of your father's purse, or his fair fame for your influence or success in btlsin ss. 'Think you that "father" has attained to eniiiiciioc iu his profession but by unwearied industry? or that Iu has aina.-s-tl a fortune honestly without en rgy and activity. You should know that the family requisite for the acquiring of fame or fortune is os-eatial to, nay, inseparable lruni the retaining ol either of these. Sup pose "I'ulher" has the "neks" iu abun dance, if you never earned anything' fur him, you have no mure business with those rocks than a gosling bus with a tor toise! and if he allows you to meddle with them until you have gained them by your own industry, he perpetrates untold mis chief. And if the old gentleman is lavish of his cash towards you, while he is allow ing you to while away your time, you'd better leave him, yes, run away sooner I han be an imbecile, or somolhiiig worse, through so corrupt uu iiillui liee! Sooner or later you must hum to rely on your own resources, or you will not be any body. .Come, off with your coat, clinch the saw, the plow-handle, the seythe, the axo, the pickaxe, the spade anything that will enable you to stir your blood! Fly around and tear your shirt, ratio r than be tht! passive element of the old gentle man's bounty. Sooner than play the gen tleman at dad s expense, lure yourscll out 1 1 some potato patch, get yourself entitled to a roting ap!ll, do it on your own hook. If you have no other means of having fun of your ewn, buy with your earnings an empty barrel, and put your head into it and halloa, or get into it and roll down hill; don't for pity's sake, make the old gentleman furnish everything, and you live nt your ease. Again, we say wake up get up in the morning turn round at least twice before breakfast help tho old man give him now and then a generous lift iu business learn bow to take the lead, and not de pend forever on being led, and you bavo no idea bow the discipline will benefit you. Do this, and our word for it, you will seem to breathe a new atmosphere, pos ses? a new frame, tread new earth, mukw a new t'estiny, and then you may begin to aspire to manhood. Take off', then, that ring from your finger, bryik your cane, wipe your nose, hold up your nead, and, by all means, ni t depend on father. A COOD CONFESSION. Several years ago, iu a Wenlern town, a young lawyer, a member of a large church, got drunk. The brethren said he must confess, lie knew the members to be good people, but they had their little fail ings ami faults, such as driving sharp bar gains, screwing the laborer down to low wages, loaning money at illegal interest, misrepresenting articles they had for sale, etc. Hut they were good people, and pressed the lawyer to come before the meeting and ow n up to his sin of taking a glass too much, fur llu v were leinper ance people and abhorred intemperance. Tlie sinner went tu confession, found a large gathering of brethren and sisters, whose bowed heads rose and w hose ryes glUteued with pure delight as the lawyer began his confession. "I confess." he said, "that I never took 1(1 per cent, for money." On that con fession down went a brother's head with a groan. "I never turned a poor man from my door who needed food or shelter." Down went another head. "I confess I never sold a skim-milk cheese for a new one." Whereupon a Woman shrieked for lurrey. "1 confess that I have not been Pharisaical and self-righteous, and have not sought to injure or persecute those who have not happened to agree with me." When down popped numerous beads. "I confess that I never played the hypocrite, and that I do not lie, anil that 1 have not used religion as a cloak." When down went several heads, ami the heads of the very ones who had been so anxious that be should confess among them. "Hut," concluded the sinner, "I have been drunk, and am very sorry for it." Whereupon the meeting quickly and quietly dispersed. l'HAYHt. So sacred a thing as prayer, in which the soul presents itself before (iod to make known ils requests, might be (bought ex empt from such abuse as that to which an exchange refers underlhe heading, "Prayer as a means of Personal Abuse." Hut there is nothing too holy for profauatiou by sinful man. It is a fact thai some people are busocnough to "pray at" people, instead of praying to God, and lo use prayer as a means of hvturing their fellow men, or, H'ibaps, even of giving vent to theii spito Sgaiu.it individuals. And such wickedness is just as likely to take place ut the prayer-meetings of those who pro fess lo be (icrl'ii'lly sanctified, as anywhere else. That such a prostitution of prayer is abhorred by till amccro bnslimis, when they once observe il and see ils import, is certain; but some are so thought less us not to observe it and not to realize its wicked rharacter. This ami olhrr abuses add tlieir share of evidence in favor of carefully prepared forms of prayer, which express the tlesire of believing hearts, and leave no room for (he utterance of mere individual opinion and sentiment, abusive or other wise. All exacting touier is one against which lo guard both one's heart and the nature to those whose are under our con trol and iiillucnee. To give and allow, to sutler und lo bear, are graces more to the purpose of a noble life, than cold, exacting selfishness, whiciMiiust have, lot yo will go without; which wil l"t yield, lot who will break. It is a disastrous quality w herewith to go through llie world; for it receives as much pain as it inflicts, and creates the discomfort it deprecates. In the depth nf the sea water is still; tho heaviest grief is that borne iu silence the deepest love flows through the eye ami touch; the purest joy is unseakwble; the purest joy is unspcukable; tho most im pressive preacher at a funeral is the silent one whose lips arc cold. Bulwer wad right; tlicpo's n,o iuci word iu fall. It is mollified into luu'iguiueut. AN AMATEUR CARPENTER! II Y It I L N V E.

It was not handsome, but it was risuny, and would be very nice for the season of 1SS4, I thought. It worked pretty well through March and April, bill as the weather be gins to warm up that ice chest is about the wannest place around the house. There is actually a glow of heat around that ice chest that I don't in lice elsewhere. I've shown it to several personal friends. They seem to think il is not built tightly enough for an ice-chest. My brother looked at it. yesterday, and said that his idea of an ice- rhesl was that it ought to be light enoiigll at least to hold (lie larger chunks ol ice so Ihey would not escape through the .pores of the ice-box. lie said be never built one, but that it stood to reason that a re frigerator like that ought to bo constructed so that it would keep (he cows out. You don't want a refriirerator that tho cattle can get through the cracks of and eat ll your strawberries on ice, be says. A neiuhbor of mine who once built t hen resort of laths, and now wears a thick thumb-nail that looks like a Krazd nut as a memento of that pullet corral, says my ice-chest is all right enough, only that it is not soiled to this climate. I le thinks that along Hehring's Strait, iluriiiglhejliolidays, my tee-chest would work during tho holt days, like a charm. And even here, he thought, if I could keep the fever out of my chest, there won d be less p.iin. I have made several other lilt Its articles ol'vertu this spring, to (he construction of which I have coiitiibuted a irond deal of time and two fniircr nails. I have also salved into my leg several limes. The Icjj of course, will get well, but the pantaloons will not. Parlies wishing to meet me in my studio during tho morning hour will turn into the alley between Fighth and Ninth streets, enter the third stable door on the led. pass around my Gothic horse and give the countersiiru and three kicks on the door iu an ordinary tone of voice. iiatim. er.oi'i.i laic not.

SlIOOTI Xil ST A HS, As fur as learned men have been able tu penetrate, there arc iu the interplane tary regions myraids of small bodies rings of mailer all disconnected, which revolve around the sun as the planets do, at vari ous distances from it. and aninelined at all sorts of angles to the earth's orbit. The (eleseope has reveal si myriads upon my riads of inorganic bodies, all revolving round the sun; soind iu very eccentric or bits, like comets. Such being the case, it is not unlikely thai some of these are en countered by the earth in her annul revolu tion, with greater or less violence, accord ing as the earth and the body collid ed with happen to be moving in oposite or similar directions. If the collision takes place on a clear night, and the body be small, we have the appearance of a shoot iiig star with a tail only, if h b.- larger, w have a lire ball aud tail; and if slid larger, then we Uiuy have the grand spectacle of a fiery mass, splitting into pieces with a crash, and then scattered over the fields below. A little -l-yeur-old said lo his mother last week: "Mother, I believe (iod thinks I'm dead.' "Why?" asked the mother somewhat astonished at the remark. "Cause I haven't said my prayers for a week.
