The annset was never more beautiful to Lorena than cow, as she gxaea for the last time at all the surroundings of her beau tlfal home.

With all these thoughts crowd ing her brain, she remains at tbe window, and watches tbe sun abed its last ray of light on tbe earth.

He poor friendless girl, so ihe bears t&ese words fill from the bp4 of Uils beautiful being : i Oh! is this my dear father' j place of rejfose?

Tbo three little girls, Susie, Carrie and Kstelleanxi ousfor the society of someone, will not allow Lorena tojpass much of the time alone.

She is angry with her self for not having more control over her heart. She has asked God to help her conquer this love she has for Paul Lorrane.

From our Regular CorroponJct : t Washington, 1). C, May 15. Inrinf tbe week the Admin istration has made quite a num ber of important changes, re movals and appointments. Tbe Jockey Club Spring races bave ben going ont which there baa ben a large attendance daily of J prominent people, foreign ministers, and statesmen. Gene ral; Sparka, the Commissioner of the Land Office,, has been before the" Police Court, charged with assault, and Dr. Varley, the no ted English evapgihst.'bas held a series of meetings. Still peo pie say nothing is going on now At the White House, delegations pour i n u pon Presid en t C .' e vel and Among, those which have import tuned him in the past'few days were four delegations from Itich mpucf; Va., each pressing a dif ferent candidate for postmaster of that city. Another delega tion was in behalf of Gen. Ros- ecrans, asking that he be'remqm bered in the distribution of olfi- a . cial gifts. This party 'consiated of the ex-Uaion soldiers, who are also members of Congress. The constit uents ofrMinister S d Cox, visited the White House to pvotUr ai&Bt - 3lr;-,Cox ac- cepting the mission to Turkey. The difiVrent factions of Tew York were represented among them, both Democratic and Ke publican, and they requested the President to advise Mr. Cox to remain in this country, where, especially at .this time, his long Congressional experience would ba lot no such value to his party. Then Mr. C eveland has some Mornlon visitors who presented a declaration of grievance, and a protest ratified by the Mormon population ot Utah. They made a plea for juaticaand' fair treat ment, complained of tbe con tin- 1 m m . nance ox terrioriar oonaage, special legislation, the tyranny of Federal otlicialg, the breaking up of family relations formed previous to the passage of the Edinonda law", &c. The Presi- dent listened attentively tq their complaints and requests and rev pi ied,. telling them "among other thicgaj -that be hoped soon to get i ..... . at (these matters, out it woum require time. His face broke in to a smile .as he -concluded, "I wiih you cut there coud be like the rest of .ns." Mr.,CIveyland iwelt pleased . wttb the Execb tivja Residence, and4 since, his health continues to be good, he has no intension of remavfng to the "President's Cottage" for some wecka yeL. There ia quite a sensation now at the' .Depart ment of Agriculture. ' Tbe new Commissioner has discovered a condition of affairs there, which s (embarrassing. - Severa.1 specific appropriations : are exnaastea,j s . , . w r certain branches of work have to be temporarily suspended, and employes furlougbed without pay Irrirnense quantitic3 of leed are onj band, and only $3-' of the $100,000 appropriated is left to distribute them, while boys have to te employed to stir them ar)und in order to 'keep thtm fro m Spoiling. At IUU season, fociety is devoting itself jto tea. here are three divisions of tea; , high tea, and blue tea. The first is a gathering for the par pose of drinking tea and eating tome simple refreshments. The nocond or high tea, is more like a partv, and more popular. GuePts come between the hours of four and six, and are served with soup, terrapin and salads, with their tea and cofi'ee. The ladies appear in elaborate toilets, without. bon nets, aud all Hand while being served. The third or blue tea baa cher features tian eating aod,(irinkingr such as reading, recitatioug, song8,and music, th guests being expected to doaonic thing at these entertainments. The last have not obtained firm hold yet in Washington sociey. .When Mr. Cleveland attended Church last Sunday with Mrs. Jyamont, it was noticed that the usual crowd' that gathers at tbe Church door to see him on his arrival and departure hrd not lessened. One little girl caught a glimpyeof him as he stepped into his carriage and exclaimed; "Ob, Pveeeen him." The Pres ident looked back and smiled at her, and after this distinction, the child was more than ea tie fled. It has beeif hinted that the Pres ident's - irregular attendance at church was discouraging to his, pastor, and that the. latter has prepared a sermon on . regular chnrol attendance,' which will be delivered one of these Sundays wheniMr. Cleveland occupies bis pe am ajc in jsputratjj; ut, ajm- derland is rather pleased with the (Pre8idenVa way of disap pointing the . erowd cf visitors who ush to the choree, only to find That the chief figure in the sbo tr is no where to be seen. He a attends church iust about half - of the time, and it is thought, by making tiimself unreliable in the matter, he hopes to discour age to some extent, the curiosity hunters who go there to see him. Tor TMl BCD.. Trying Situations. When a fellow is in lore I mean head1 and ears in love; in love so "much that his imagina tion can transform a pine stump into the image of the idol ot his heart ; and be can stand and talk to it for a bait hour, in words of. burning elequeuce and breathe forth Towsof 'eternal fidelity;' in love so much that a subtle influ ence pervades all nature, breath ing into hi8 8onl the spirit of har mony; in Jove so much that the braying of a mole fa full of poetic cadence to his ear,and-the whis pering breezes seem to chant tbe praises of his . adorable Jemima.! Why well, the fact u, he s in 3ove, and if jon don't mind some body is going to get courted. And when he gett an opportuci y to tell her of his lojre and de- Virt onrt hnw his feonl -veains' W' : . I or companionship such as she. only can give and winds up by asking Jier to marry him asd she gently marmnrs yes' Right then he's at thet;nd of his row." He don't know what next to say to save his life. No matter how wise be is, it don't make a bit of difference. He may be possesseu or tbe philoeophieal acumen of a Newton, the lpgicof 'a Socrates, or the elcqoenB of a Demoa- benes, bnt it avails biBxnotbing, not another word can he fatter. Now if the thing would happen r like they rrecerally describe it in novels that is to say, if tho girl's head would somehow cr other get down on his shoulder and his arm could get arouid he r waist, he might manage to t ccfild through the next half hour with tolerable comiort to himself, aud tbe embarrasiinn'nt of .thnitua tion would be contUltrably rV lieved, bht in real life it hardly over turns out this way at least that's my experience. . Tho next trying situation is asking the old niatS'a coiHCnt. He approaches thi with fear aud trpmbling, for he feels that he is. asking an inestimable boon and he is surprised at his own pro sumption. But. when n answer to L is question, the old man care lessly replies: 4,Certainly, sir, take her and welcome, and if you know of two or three other fellera that want to be supplied, send them along,'' it falls like a wet blanket on the glowings of his ardent love and like an untimely I frost, nips the root of budding felicity, and he thinks to himself '-Can it be possible that that old feller can so lightly surrender so much loveliness into another's seeping ! Surely, he's a fool or I am, and I'm half inclined-: ta believe its me" Jumbo.. Ayer's Sarsaparilla has such concentrated, , curative powrri that it is by far the best, cheap est, and surest blbodparifier known. - . The JJoniriern ISlvonac . "' ' si,- . .

Duke and Iiicharu W. Knott. As formerly, war paper will be the special feature ot tho magazine, but each number will bave litexary articles illustrating all phases of Southern life, the purpose being to make it, in eve ry sense, a representative literary magazine. The June number wil) contain a brilliant article on the Battle of Franklin, by Major D.W. Saunders, accompanied by the first accurate map of the battle field yet published. It will also have an account of General John II. Morgan's escape from' prison, to be followed by a full and authoritative statement of the mission of Jacob Thompson, ;su little t understood and so gre- viously misrepresented. Pan I II. Hayce will contribute to the first . number au article on 4Sonthern War Lyrics," and Harrison Robertson a character istic poem. The magazine is to be greatly enlarged aud its typo graphical appearance entirely changed. Ocean Spqings, Miss., i - aept. 13, 1883. , Spencer & Blown Dear 8irs: Judge H. H.
