THE BLOW LANDED.
She Will Never Leave Charlie
At Home Again With The
Nurse.
8ha doesn't go to her clubs and euchres
half aa nfion as the did. People uaed to
ay thii oharming woman spent moil if
her time t these gatherioge. One day
lie called on a dear friend to reprove her
for her eleeksning iotureet in the club.
I believe it waa a elub for reformiog the
gai meter or eonietbiog anyhow il waa
a reform affair.
"Look here, Liuie," laid the eotbu-
aiaat, "why on earth don't jou eoaie to
the meeting? Hare you are paying
your duea and never ahowing up. Yuu
owe it to the club to take an intereat in
the work."
"But I cant come," explained bir
friend. "Tbere'a the baby, and Henry
doesn't aome home aometimea till late,
and tupper must wait, and if be wanta to
out I can't go away and leave the
ohildren. I would worry myself to
death."
"Well, I must lay Henry ia iuouueid-
erate, and tbe caller. "Why, there a
my husband and children too. They
give me no trouble. Every time I want
to go to tbe elub Charlie aayi be will be
glad to atay at home with Bridget and
keep an eye on tkioga till I come back.
He never objecta ''
"Maybe," retorted tbe amiable hostess,
"if I bad a houaegirl aa handaoma and
young aa Bridget, Henry would be glad
to atay at home, too, but mint ia black
and goea home at nighta."
The blow landed, and tbarlie bain t
betn .skid to look after Bridget eod the
house amce.

A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
A Story From Real Life as Told
by One of the Principals.
Letter in Henderson Gold Leaf.
Oovernor B., from a distant Southern
Slate, whom I frequently meet at Buffa-
Lithia Springs, relate! the following
liitle incident that happened during hia
first term at Oovernor. Save he:
Mr 11., a prominent planter, in the
eat of pasaion abot aod dangeroualy
wouoded hia manager, for wbioh be was
tried and ientenced to terve a term of
re yeara in the peaitentiary. On ac
count of his piomioenoe and estimable
ebaraoier every effort waa made to secure
bis pardon, but 1 did not feel it my duty
to interfere. But when hia young and
diatreaaed wife and her two beautiful
little girls came to my offioe and begged
o piteoualy, I came near yielding, but I
braced myself up and finally told her Ihe
woret. I can never forget the look of
diaireaa that waa oh ber faoe when ahe
left. It haunted me for dayi.
A few werka after this, little Lelia,
the eldeat daughter of Mrs. H , a beauti
ful little curly headed blonde, aboat four
yeara old, oame rushing in my of
fice, aid crawling np in my lap and
looking me in the face, commenced to
prattle away in her sweet ohildi.-b brogue.
"Duvner," aaid ahe, "have you dot any
little dirls like me at your bouse?"
"Yea," .aye I.
"Duvner, do your little dirla love yea
like me and little aiater love our eweet
papa?"
"Yea; I gueia ao "
"Duvner, do vou love your little dirt.
like our papa love.ua?"
"Ye.."
"Duvner, do your little djrl. run to
tbe gate to meet you ebry night when
you go home?"
"Yea; very oftea."
"Mc and little aiater uaed to run ool
to the gate to meet our aweet papa ebry
niebt, and he would take ua up in hia
arm. and carry ua up tbe steps, but our
aweet papa don't come home of nighta
now, and little aiater oriel ebry night, and
I one. ebrv nizht, and poor mama ahe
cries ebry night and all the time. Duvner,
please, pleaaa let our pspa oome home to
night. Please Dueuer, please Duv 1
The sweet little darling broke down
and went into sobs. After sobbing
while, ahe nestled her Utile curl; bead
ia my bosom and was soon axiund asleep,
She had been aaleep bat short while
when a aweet aaeile Mole over her bright
little face, and partly opening her eye.
he Hid :
"Don't cry little aiater; please don't
ery mama; our dear, aweet papa ia eoi
tag home to-night; doodDuver.
I then broke down, I could .land it no
longer, and directed my aeoretary to fill
out a full aid unconditional pardon for
H., and hand to me to tigs. I gave it
to my secretary and directed him to call
I csrrtage and go to tbe prison at once
and have II , change hia clothe, and
briou bin to my office, but not ta tell
him that hi. family were here.
I gently laid my liitle charge on
lounge, but her mother and little ieter
soon came in and called for her, but I
told Mra. H , not to wake ber, a. .ho
wa. roiling to aweelly I supposed the
aogsla were whispering good newa to her,
I ahowed her in an adjoining room, and
told her I would bav. a carriage for her
in time to take her train.
In a abort while my secret ry drsve
np with H I met him at the door. H
eaabrsced me, but waa too full for utter
st oe. I look kirn to the lounge where
hi. little daughter wsa sleeping, and
while he was taking her ia hia arm.
