the reticence and coolness of his Hrst man
ner anil Hccmeil rather to experience u
sense of relief from Mr. Trenton's evident
foiiilnesH for his thllllltel.
'If I were tu die," he said to htm onee,
''Mararit would not be friendless, now
you nre lu re."
And naturally did tho three accept
the frit ndly relatioiw between them lhat
no one of them had even conceived the
losiibility of the idea which had oecuired
to the ;ood people of l'aiifax. und from an
idea grown iuto au assertion, that, "the
rich man was dead iu lovo with Margaret
Harailtou."
Judith Kdgerton had been the first to
mention it to Margaret on the aame after-
hum
noun ih.it I Icy wood had referred to it and
her imlipiant. denial ami evident astonish
ment had jiiven rise to Judith's hasty
warning to lleywood.
Hut the absiinlity of such a report was
too patent for lur to take notice of it,
Miirpirct determined, when she had
tliiiiiht ab. ait it, so it was with her frank,
l-'ol'.lial tlialili. r tlln-halii .1 that she met
Mr, Tu iitiiii when be came the next day.
'1 want you to walk with me to see the

Cabal may he down lure, lie is a
line young fellow, and 1 want you lo be a
friend to hiin. He is worth being kind to.
b ill I introduce him to you ?
Margaret hesitated, and the color rose
in her lace, as it had a troublesome trick
leiiig, whenever she was oinbarassed.
She was ashamed ol her prejudice.?, as she
had told lleywood, but that did not pre
vent the prejudices; and she cmild not nt
onee consent to being inadu the social ac
quaintance of a workman as she said to
h.r-.ll' this Mr. Cabal might be. Mi.
Trent, .ii noticed the hesitation, and grew
angry at it. "The absurdity of an almost
penniless girl's objecting to meeting a man,
simply b 'cause he works for his bred,"
the ii, h dunoeiat thought, indignantly.
"Volt are aristocratic I see." he taid.
shutting the gate with a bang, and speak
ing with a sneer. "I should have remem
bered lhat I am in the ,S'ioii. lint you
mighliave known T would not iutioduce
a man you ought nut to know."
lie said the last words half angrily, half
reprovingly, losing sight of the fact, which
Margaret remembered, that he himself
was an acquaintance of scarcely a month's
slam ling. The worls and the tone of
tin in rousid her quick I; nipi r, and she
was about to make a pnui.1 reply instead
of the consent she had at first meant to
give, when tiny turned a sharp cuive of
the hill, and came in view of David Cahal
and lleywood Moiitfort in apparently I'a
niiH.ir conversation, lleywood saw them,
ami came to them, instantly, with a sig
nificant smile on his face at sight of Mar
garet's companion, that deepened the flush
en Margaret's.
"Miss Hamilton." he said, with easy
asuiaiiee, "allow me to introduce Mr.

rather ungraceful frame, anil glancing up
again, said in a tone of frank aniusoai. ill:
"Wouldn't I be a figure ou a waxed

"If it is the waxed floor you dread," she
said, smiling iu response to his look, "let
we tell you, for your consolation, we never
had one, though I believo Mr. Moiitfort,
who secretly sighs for such luxuries, docs
occasionally have the planks swept with
meal to make them smooth."
AY EL DON, N. C TIIUlfSDAY, SK PTE MI Kit 17,
That. Mi. Cahal. is a taunt at me,'' ex
plained lleywood, "because I'm not so young
as she is. Now she and her friend. Miss
M'lgeiton. think themselves so youthful
and so agile lhat they fancy they could
dance lightly on a pile of saw-dust."
' Was it Miss Kdgerton I saw ou the
bridge with you, yesterday?" asked llavid
irrelevantly."
"Yes," Margaret said, "why?'' smiling
as she a-lo .1.
lb c.iuse," says honest llavid with no
Irai'e ofa smile, "I think she is quite the
most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
Score one for ihe Hypsy." whispered
II yw'uod, who by this lime is next to Mar
garet, and Margaret nods in acquiescence.
She is us. .1 to healing Judith com plinieii-
le.l ami lias only a passing pang ot morti
fied vanity at the way she herself is ,,r
gotteu. To alone fur the pang she says
wilh extra warmth:
"She is, indeed, perfectly lovely and as
charming as she is beautiful."
Al this point, Mr. Trent. ,n, who is not
inter. sled in Miss I'Mgcrton's charms and
is cunceincil about the factory, interrupts
t hem saying:
Miss Margaret you haveti't looked at
tile factory site yet."
"Ami I am so anxious to sec it," Miss
Margaret says, in such a hearty way as to
disarm suspicion ur impatience, "though,
1 warn you, 1 will think just w hat you and
Mr. Cabal do."
The four uf them went ou to the mill
and up the stream, David losing his shy
ness as he talked of things he understood;
an.l Margaret asking questions which,
ignorant as they showed her to be of fac
tories, yet gave evidence of her great in
terest iu the scheme as also uf the clear
eoiumuii sense she possessed.
When they were returning Margaret
saw on the opposite bank a tree laden with
tairy-like white blossoms, but so (ar bent
over tho water that tu leach them from
either side svemed impossible, which im
possibility rather gave impetus to Marga
ret's desire as she said impulsively:
'Oh ! huw I do wish 1 had those flow
crs !"
"Wish for the moon," suggested lley
wood, "it is as easy to get."
"Hut they are so beautiful," said Mar
garet still longingly.
So is the moon," Heywouil answered
consolingly, and the two walked on togeth
er, so engaged iu the light badinage which
followed that they did not perceive that
David bad fallen behind,
"What are you going to du?" Mr. Tivn
ton asked, as he saw David turn back.
"Duly going up the stream a little way,'
David answered.
"Dou't be a fool, Cahal," Mr. Trenton
said, "and risk being drowned for
mans whim. lhat Icllow Montlorl
wouldn't do it, for all she likes him
well."
l''i'oin which it will be seen that Mr
Trenton had nut entirely regained his lo.
tcmper. "ThereB not much risk," said Paviil
laughing, "and if I fall, why, I can swim
lie went on hri.-kly 'till he reached
shallow place iu the stream wlure a scri. -
of rocks made a crossing, and going to t he
tree, he climbed out on its frail trunk ami
at (he imminent risk of a wetting, if not
of the drowning darkly predicted by Mr.
Trenton, he gathered great bunches of the
waxen blossoms, lleywood and Margaret
were standing on the bridge still talking
gaily when David came, and putting the
bouquet into Margaret's hand, said sim
ply: ' I leu1 are your flowers."
The simple kindness of the giver, the
beauty of the gift, touched Margaret great
ly. It was but a tiifle, but, like most
sensitive natures, Margaret w;ib peculiarly
su-ccptible to trifles; and there was some
thing suspiciously like tears in her brown
eyes when she looked up in pleased sur-pri-e
at David and said:
"Did yuu go to all this trouble for lue
how can I ever thank you?"
"It was no trouble," David said, sur
prised himself, and a little embarasscd at
her carncstnessy "and it is quite thanks
enough to see that ihey please you."
This speech, conventional enough sure
ly, was yet said iu such evident igiiorauce
of convt ntijinality, that Margaret was still
further pleased.
"As a proof how uiuih they please uic,"
she said, "1 mean to wear them to night."
"And I will expect you to ba there, Mr.
Cahal," (she added, as she ami Mr. Tren
ton turned to uo. ) "lo see thein and Miss
Klgvlloll."
"The llow'ers dill wonders for you,"
HeVWoiid said, as llnvi.l ami he Inn wslk-
cd towards the village, though some dis
tance behind Mr. Trenton and Margaret.
"She is the most appreciative little woim
iu the world."
"Is she a relative of Mr. Trenton's,"'
David asked, still mystified as to their re
lationship. "Well no," answered lleywood, laugh,
iug heartily; "but to tell you the truth, it
seems tu me that he would like to make
her one, a very near one."
"Oh ! I sec," said David. "She has
numbers of aspirants to such relationship
hasn't sho?"
The teais had so far icon David, that
he already had grown to consider admira
tion of Miss Hamilton, an entirely lauda
ble and nalutal sentiment.
"No," lleywood replied, "1 think not.
r know of none but (ieorge Bellamy and
this man Trenton. She has no fortune
you see."
T shouldn't think a woman's fortune
would make any difference," unworldly
David said with a slight ring uf euntempt
iu his voice.
"The o7. ofit might. " answered world
ly-wise lleywoud. and touching bis hat he
lisappearetl down a cross street, thinking,
with au amused twinkle iu his handsome
yes, that it was "a lie between the Cyp-y
ml the Daisy as to w hi ll bad Won the
Wild Iiishnian."
When Margaret got h une she found
luilith already there.
"I-u't this a line way to treat coin
ny T said Judith, meeting her in nun k
indignation.
Oh! well," said Marg.uvt kis-iug her.
my company will toigive me wiu u t
diare my flowers with her and tell her
the news."
Perhaps she may, if' you have any
news but where in the world did v.ni
get the flowers ?" asked Judith, as Marga
ret spread tint the large hllll.'ll.
Mr. David Cabal, (that's your yiuug
Irishman.) gave ihein lo me," Margaret
answered.
"You don't in 'an to say." cxclaiimd
Judith, "that you have met him and
talked tu him, ami gotten intimate enough
for him to be giving you flowers
Thank you for saying it all fur mo,"
Margaret replied laughing. "Ami Ju.le
what do ymi ihink ho had the imperii
nonce to say i lie told me to my lace
that you are 'quite the must beautiful
Woman he has ever seen.' "
Did he V a-keJ Judith well pleas-..
"Hut pshaw! Meg." she added in a s"C
ond, "you mmti! him say it. Which
speech spoke volumes for -Miss Kdgerloii's
faith in lur friend's allection.
"I 'poll my word I didn't." declined .Mar
garet solemnly, "lie just 'up and said it.
right so,' l as Maiy Anne says.")
Then she di tailed minutely to Judith
every incident if the afternoon, winding
up by saying:
"Ami wasn't it nice in him to get me
the flowers? Judith, 1 do hupe you wont
flirt with him."
"Wait 'till I have the chance," says
Judith, like a cautious general preparing
in case of defeat.
"Of course you will have the chance,"
declared Margaret, whose belief iu the
power of Judith's attractions was implicit.
"I'.v.rybody falls iu love with on."
"Not i rf7io., Meg," said Judith wilh
a sigh ami a eeiiousuess ul voice that made
Margaret look at her quickly, lln u .-lie
put her white cheek against Judith's rich
dark one, and asked with the tender Ji
redness their friendship warranted.
"Is there anybody you icon to fall in

"Sometimes 1 think there might be,"
Judith answered seriously, as she looked

i.r safely. Il- was aliai'l, Ic lard,
th it s.iiue of his le-ighl, ,r., knowing thai
he h 1 1 money, might rub him. Tln.-e
who he.n.l him talk thought licit b at
least possessed several hundred dollar.
I! a.hing the bank he said to all oilieiul :
' Mister, 1 wants ter 'pusit s.,ni" money
ill .li.-In all house. Ken I put $10 ill
Inah?"
"Oh, y, s, you can put ill any amount."
"No, I kain't."
" Ves, you call,''
"I says dat 1 kain't fur I hain't got
any ei im. nut. Do haw, haw, I got y.-r
dat time. Wall, now. put dis SID back
iu d.ir fur safe kecpiu'."
The official tuuk tile money and band
ing the I'M negro a small book, said :
"Hive me your signature."
"I ain't gut er ou". boss. J.,-1' Vn

"Write your name here."
"Oh, yes, I ken .hi dat."
Alter much labor he wrote his n unc

was greatly pleased with the performance,
and after he went outsi'b he stood for a
time, grinning with satisfaction. One of
his country acquaintances accosted him:
llow're y. r, Mruder Ned?"
"Why, bless me, ef dis ain't Hinder
l!o.lu"y. Whut yor Join' up heuh,
man :
Oh, 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 much. Jes kuuekin'

"New, look 1i. m1i, man, I thought dat
yer dune had more sense dan tint. De
fust ting yer knows de bank gwineter he
broke, an' er white man gwineter run off
wid yer money."
Old Ned was troubled. He had heard
of bank failures, and now In; regretted
lhat he had placed so much confidence iu
men who were slr.ingers to hiin, but. re
meinbeiing that he could get his money,
he went to the bank, and addressing n
man who was counting money behind :i
network of wire, .said :
"I k heuh, y. r g it dat ten dollars yit?"
"What 111?"
"De money dat I put

"1 don't know. Come

go I'll call a policeman."
"Oh, I'll go. i!ob er man, au' den

"Come around to-nioriuw old man."
After a sleepless night, Old Ned went
to lite bank. The same man whom he
bad sen ou ihe previous euliing stood
behind the network uf wire, still counting

Kur several days pan then! has been a
remarkable family of negroes iu Atlanta.
Thi'tr name is Williamson, and they came
from Wilson county, North Carolina.
Th. re are throe brothers and four sisters,
all of whom have been totally blind from
their birth. Th"y aiv th; children of
b!a k parents, who were slaves and ordi-
n.ny lit ld h;iud.-. 1'nto them were lorn
fourteen children, seven of whom had
sight, while seven were blind. Tho blind
eliiMrvn were not only hardier and health
ier, lau. th' ir mental endowments are su-p-rior
to those of their brothers ami As
ters who etnild see. They wont to Hal
eigh to the State Ill'ind Asylum, und were
there Well educated. Kvery one of them
developed a remarkable talent for miwe,
and on leaving the asylum organized
themselves into a concert company, and
began to travel through the Souih. Tho
oLle.-.l hr.'thir married a smart negro wo
rn in, who acts as & guide und business
Hiauagi r of the. party. They have been
all over the South giving entertainments,
which have paid them handsomely. They
sin, and play on various instruments with
l'e naikal'le skiil. All of theiii have good
voiees, which have b-vn well trained.
The niot remarkable performance are the
exhibitions of their powers of mimicry.
They imitate a brass band so perfectly
that a person outride the halt iu which
they are humming would almost invaria
bly h.! deceived. Their imitation of tho
organ is equally perfeet. Kach uf the
singers makes it peculiar noise, and car
ries his or her own part of tho perform
ance, and tho combined result is a deep
tniifie, very like, to the pealing of a grand
organ. These are two of their many
tricks. They are constantly adding to
their repertoire and perfecting themselves
more and mitre in their curious arts. They
have educated the sense uf touch to
very remarkable degree. Ily feeling id'
a person's face and head they can give an
accurate description of his or her appear
ance, and une of tho sisters claims that
sh.' can tell the color of tho hair by
touching it. Tho seven will stand with
joined hands, and any object ran be
placed in the bands of the older brother
at tho end of tho line. While lie holds
it. he claimed that a magnetic torrent which
passes through tho entire lino will enable
any one of bis brothers and sinters lo tell
what he ha in hand. At any rate, some
remarkable guesses of this kiud are
made.
Says an eminent physician : "A man
should not run after he is 10." That de
p iids upon circumstances. Must politi
cians are willing to run for oflico at any
age. Other people, who are wise, will
run if they are all if they soo a woman ap
proaching with fury in her eye and
broomstick iu her hand. Mobilo Jii$
itlrr. Some people toss up their heads and
sneer whenever it is intimated that the
world in becoming more bulky in the
brow; but tho fact cannot be dodged that
the small boy of to-day knows a heap
muni than his daddy according to his
own cstimak'.
