[StAte Chronicle.] The time—a beautiful Autumn after noon about five year* ago ; the place— a quiet little park in a city in Connect icut; the persona—a pretty girl of about twenty, and a young man some fow years her senior. They w«re lovers, and this mooting was their lust one for 6me time, perhaps foicver. Huf, Mt ma call her Mabel Bouner, wag the daughter of a very wealthy and arro gant gentleman who measured every one be met by tho amount of money lie had. licr lover, his name shall be Ed ward Curtis, was a young man of good habits, good family, but poor purse.— The two had plighted their troth, but the mind of tho father was set against their union and his heart was steel to all their entreaties. Had she not been more of a dutiful daughter, than be was a yielding parent, sbo might have been tempted to defy his authority, and dis regard his wishes by uniting herself to the young man whom she loved and whose great fault was that he was poor. The father objected, not to him person ally, but to the fact that he possessed this disqualifying impediment. He ar gued, aud there was logic in it, that his daughter bad been an only child, who had had the luxuries of wealth lavished upon her, aud that a uuion with a man unprepared to provide for her in_the way she had been accustomed to would be an unfortunate one, aud would result in heart pain and eventual separation. The young man realised all this, and having the desire to bo able to gratify every wish of his wife, if this child of wealth ever became alien, no set mniseu to thinking as to what should be tho proper line of policy to pursue, to at tain the wealth which in this case was so necessary to gain the object of his love. A fow days before the opening of this story a paragraph something like this might have been seen in the personal columns of the morning paper : •'Col. Charles It. Lacy whom our eitizena will remember returned to the South after tho rebel ion. Is here on a visit. He was so well pleased with a little place he passed through during that memorable atrnggle that ho determined to make it his future home. The Colonel is now proprie tor of a large »pokp and handle factory In North Carolina, ami Is said to be Immensely rich." Curtis, who bad up to this time be come atrongly persuaded to try bis for tunes in the West, read this item, and at once became imbued with the desire to mako the South his home. At the first opportunity he met Col. Laoy, talked with him in regard to tho open ings for young mon in North Carolina and beoame fully convinced that ho could come to the Old North State, with some capital, and his indomitablo Yan kee energy and push to back it up, and in due course of events find himself a wealthy man. It was the evening before bis depart ure when our story begins, lie had met bis sweetheart to tell her good bye, and to ask her to be faithful to bira aud ere long ho would return a wealthy man and would claim her for bis bride.— There in the inssot splendor of an Au tumnal twilight they pledged themselves to be true, eaoh to tho other, and then they parted. The next morning he and Col. Lacy left for the South. Tbey proceeded at once to T , a thriving town in North Carolina. Curtis was most favorably impressed with this growing little city and thought that it had bright possibil ities ahead. Through the influence of Col. Laoy, who was well known and equally as well liked by the cloyer peo ple, Curtis seeured a position in tho of fice of one of the mammoth tobacco , manufactories of this place. He ap plied himself steadily to business, learn ed the desires of his employers with whom he lived in tho most amiable manner, and studionsly strove to please them, and it may bo said too that he succeeded. Every fact regarding to bacco he treasured up, and at every leisure moment, ho famittkrixed himsell with its manufacture. At the end of a oouple of years be had saved up a nioe little aum whiob, together with the amount he bad brought StAtiiSrith him was drawing a fair rate of interest. It was at about this time that a for mer companion and friend "rrote to him, and desired to know if there was any T chance there to invest soioa-tdle capital ' judiciously. Then it was tljtt be be r camo possessed to go into business for "TnTne thought that if his friend would put up a certain amount of capital he would also produce ' his little pile, and enough experience to make up for the discrepancy, and thus equipped tliey would commence tbe man ufacture of tobacco. Loyal to his em ployers, he conversed with tliciu regard ing this ambition, aud they, eager to see him succeed, and sco ihc place built up, encouraged bis plans, aud offered to give biin all the assistance in their pow er, to get the new factory in operation. Curtis wrote to his friend, and ex plained the whole situation to him.— The result of this letter waa that the friend came to see him, tbe copartner ship was formed, and large factory built. The business of tho first year was all thai they could have wished, that of tbe next year was considerably better, and with a proportionate increase for the third year. In all this prosperity aud success Edward Ourtis did not for get that there was little woman far away up North who had promised to bo true to him. No, he had not forgotten his vows nor bis love. When tho State Agricultural Depart ment appealed 'o tho manafi -luring con- PorTfic lioiton'MeenanißtfFte^ra^uHd of Curtis & Co., of T , was among the first to respond. An elaborate dis play of the various brands of their to bacoo was artistically arranged in a handsome case and forwarded to the Hub. In October, Curtis went on to Boston to sco tbe magnificent exhibit which North Carolina bad there, and with the intention of "bringing a wife back home with him." He had come to love his adopted State very dearly, and when he entered that great building and paw there eo conspicuously arranged the practical proofs of an exhaustleas pros perity, his heart swelled within him with a genuine State prido for old North Carolina. He had hardly more than entered, wlion a gentleman just in ad vance, in drawiug forth Lis handker chief dropped his pocketbook, and pass ed on uticouacious of his toss. Cnrtis sprung forward in tune to secure it from tbe grasp of a suspicious looking man, who said : "My friend, I dropped that book.— You'll do me a favor by giving it back to mo." ''Oh, will I ironically asked Cur tis, and hattily turnihg it. aver, tie dis covered the name and address of the ownor done in gilt letters. Before the gentleman who had dropped the book had gotten out of bearing, Curtis read his name out loud, and the old gentle man turned round in surprise and ad vanced towards Curtis. Ho at once discovered his loss and laid claim to the book, which was promptly restored to him, while the pretender seeing the turn thiugs had taken, sulked away in a crowd- To relieve the reader of any embar rassing surprise I desire to casually mention tho fact that the gontleiuau whose book had just been returned was none other than Mabel Bonner's father. On the following day Curtis, aftor having interested himself "taking in" tbo State's exhibit, and being fatigued, bad seated himself near to tbe case con taining the display made by his own firm. Buying a paper of a passing newsboy, he began to read, when a soft and strangely familiar voiee wah borne to l|is ears. With senses thrilled be 1 I If started up, aud there, standing in front a of the products of his own factory, was e tbe woman he loved. Ho could not ie move, so overcome was he with emo i, tion. "Let's see," said tho same soft voice, r- where is this from ?" and then a pair i, of little tapering hands reached forth y and and grasped a an somcly litho graphod card bearing a picture of an immense building, above which was the v name in large letters, "Curtis k Co's |t Tobacco Works." n Souio sudden feeling seemed to unnerve 0 her and the bit of paste board fell to the 0 floor. As she stooped to pick it up, sbo 18 found that another hand had reached it i_ first, and as sbe looked full into the eyes of the handsome well built fellow who i. handed tho card to h6r, a little cry of 0 joyus surprise escaped fron her lips and t she sank into a seat near by. 0 It was then tiuie for Mr. lionner to be „ surprised. As he came up, and read the familiar name of Cuttis above the - oas e which had escaped his daughter's . inspection, he recognized our friend as s (he gentleman who had saved his pocket - book the day before. Seeing him seated f beside Mabel had the additional effect of oausing him to recognize in Curtis, ' tho poor young man who had several > years before aspired to the band of his > daughter. W bat's tbo use of niy going into fur ' ther details when I have but to add ■ Curtis returned to Xorth Carolina a few weeks later accompanied by a little wo ! man whose name the reader will have no ' difficulty in guessing. For tbe Boys. * Tho Wide Awake gives the following 1 true: Two men stood at tne same ta ; ble in a large factory in Philadelphia, working at tbo same trade. Having an hour foi their nooning every day, each undertook to uso it in accomplishing a definite purpose! Eacb persvercd for 1 about the same numbea of months, and CAeh wou success at last. One of these two mechanics used his daily leisuro hour iu working out tho invention of a machine for sawing a block of wood into almost any desired shape. When bis invention was complete, be sold the 1 patent for a fortune, changed bis work man's apron for a broadcloth suit, and .moved out of a tenement house, into a brown-stoue mansion. The other man— what did be do! Well, be spent au hour each day during most of a j ear in the very difficult undertaking of teaching a little dog to stand on his hind feet and dance a jig, while he played tbe tune. At last accounts be waa working ten hours a day at the same trade and at his old wages, and finding fault with tho fate that made Ilia fellow workman rich while leaving him poor. Leisure min utes may bring golden grain to mind as well as purse, if one harvests wheat in atead of chaff. A Mew Wis. A gir! employed in a New York but ton factory had her entire scalp torn off by accident and ia now in St. Luke's hospital, where sbe has had a new scalp grafted on. The process has occupied six years, and tho bouse mother says sbe has suffered more than any other three persons ever in the hospital. Hits of flesh the size of a grain of nee weio cut from the arms of physicians, nurses or who aocver would volunteer, and these were plunged into the raw head to root and grow. Frequently these grafts would not take root, wben the process was re ] peated. Tbe girl supplied from her own . limbs many hundred grafts. It has re quired 14,203 of these to cover her bead. Of course tbo bair will never grow again, but with a wig "Luoy" looks very well. Abomkii tui! Iron-Ci.ad Oath. — Senator Edmunds has wisely introduced a bill to iron-clad oath, and it ought to be promptly passed. This oath i«*a relic of war legislation, which haa not only outlived every reason that prompted its adoption, but it serves to keep up a discrimination which baa be come unwarranted and invidious. It is high time that this distinction between Northern and Southern public men be ■wept away. Let the same oath be 1 admiaistcred to all alike.— v V. Y. Hrr , «//. t A Wire's Tact. s After having been married some weeks it came iuto the head of a young husband one Sunday, when he had but littlo to occupy his mind, to suggest to his wife , that tbey should plainly and honestly state the faults that eacb had diacovered : in the other aince tbey had been man and wife. After aomo hesitation the wife agreed to the proposition, but stip ulated that tbe rehearsal should be made " in all sinoerity, and with an honest view » to the bettering of 6a«-.' other, as other wise it would Wof no use to* apeak" Jf : tbe faults to which marriage had opened their eyes. The husband was of the same mind and the wife asked him to begin. He was somewhat reluctant, but t bia wife insisted that be was the first to i propose tho matter, and, as the , head of the house, it was his place to p take the lead. Thus urged, be began I the recital, lie said: "My dear, one of the first faults tli at 1 observed in y-ju after wo began koep i ing house was that you neglected tbe i tinware. My mother always took great j , pride in her tiuware aud kept it as bright ! as a dollar." "I am glad you have mentioned it, dear," said the wife, a little. "Hereafter you shall aee no spot on cup or pan. Pray proceed." '•I havo alwaya observed, " said tbe husband, "that you use your dish rags a long time without washing thorn, aud linaily throw them away. Now, wben at home, I remember that my mother always used to wash out her disb rags when she was done using theui,aud tbeu j bang them up where they could dry, 1 ready tor the next time sbe would need ' them." Blushing as before, the young wife j promised to aincud tho fault. The husbau4 continued with a moat formidable list of similar farlts, many ] more than we have space to enumerate, j when be declares that he could think of nothing more worthy of mention. giiirMu ten u rd w» **. V wJmiJL y ft. _ discovered in me since we wore mar ried." Tho wife sat in silence. Iter faco flushed to tho temples, and a great lump camo in her throat which sbe seemed to j 1 bo striving hard to swallow. "Proceed, my dear; tell me all tbo faults you have discovcrod in me—spare , none." , "Arising suddenly from her scat the little wife burst into tea rs and throwing both arms around her husband's neck, ! cried: "My dear husband, you have not a j fault iu the world. If you have one, my ! ] oyes havo been no blinded by my love for you that ao lung as wo have been married I have nover once observed it. ( In my eyes you are perfect, and all that j you do seems to ho done in tbe best man ner, and just what should be done." "But, my dear," said the husband, bis face reddening and his voice growing husky with emotion,"just think, I have gone and found all inannor of fault with i you. Now do tell me some of my faults; i 1 know 1 have many-ten times as many as you ever had or ever will have. Lot . me hear them:" ( ' Indeed, husband, it ii as I tell yon; you have not a single fault that 1 can see. Whatever you do seems right in my eyes, and now that I know what a ' good-for-nothing little wretch I am, I | shall at once begin my work ot reform i and try to make myself worthy of you." • "Nonsense, my dear, you know that j' sometimes 1 go away and leave you with out any wood cut. 1 stay up town when { I ought to be at home. I spend mon- | , ey for drink and cigars when 1 ought to I bring it home to you. 1—" '•No you don't," cried his wife," "you do nothing of the kind. I 1 ike to sec I you enjoying yourself. I should be uu- j liapp y were you to do otherwise than just | , exactly as you do." "God bless you, wife," eried tbe now subjugated husband "from this uiouiont , you have not a fault in the world. In- ' ( deed, you never had a fault; 1 waa jok- j ing; don't rcui .'uibor a word I said !" ' and he kissed away tho tears that still j trembled iu the little woman's eyos. I Never agaiu did tbe husband acruti- : ' nize tinware nor examine the dish rag; I never so much as mention one of tbe i faults lie had enumerated; but soon after the neighbor women were wont to say: | "It is wonderful how ueat Mra. i keepa everything about her house. Iler 1 tinware ia as bright as anew dollar, and ' 1 do believe that she not only washes but irous her dish rags." And tbe neighbor men were heard to say; "What a steady fellow—has got to be of late He don't spend a dine where ho ÜBed to j 1 tpend dollars, and never can be kept from hoinc half an hour when he ii not j ( st work. He seeuis to worahiptliat wife of his.- I NO. SMALL BITES. Affliction, like tbe ironsmith, shapes as it smites. Hope is tbe brightest star in the dim ainent of youth. Every man esteems bid own nuafer* tune the grentest. If you would create something yon must be something. The bible without the Spirit i* a sun dial by moonlight. it it, that win battles, rad It is opiuion that loses them. He who throws out suspicion should at onoe suspect himself. A cheerful face is nearly aa good for an invalid as healthy weather. Many delight more in giving of prat en ts than in paying their debts. Drudgery may occupy the hands; only noble services goes from their heart. We never deceive for a good purpose. Knavery adds malice to falsehood. Our actions must clothe us witb an immortality loathsome or glorious. Whatever is becoming is honest, and whatever is honest.uiuat always be be coming. Good is nover more effectually per formed than when it is produced by slow degress. What is defeat ? Nothing but educa tion ) nothing but the first step of some thing better. The history of all the world teaches us that unmoral means will ever interoept ! good ends. I was never afraid of failure, (or I : woald sooner fail tliau not be amougtbe ' greatest. lie who knows most, grieves most for , wasted time. We seldom find people ungrateful ae long as we are in a condition to render " Let friendship creep gently to i neigo» if it rush to it it muy soon run itself out of breath. The quality of books in a library is : ofton a cloud of witnesses of tbe igno rance of the owner. Envy is a passion so full of cowardice and ehanie that no one ever had tbe confidence to own it. All other knowledge is hurtful tobira who bus not the confidence of honesty , and good nature. To educate a child perfectly requires 1 piofoundcr thought, greater wisdom than to govern a state. As soon as we divorce love from tbe occupations of life we find that labor do generates into druggery. Fully to understand a grand beauti ful thought requires, perhaps, as muoh time as to conceive it. Fate is the friend of the good and the guide of the wise, the tyrant of thefool ' ish, the enemy of the bad. { The best part of our knowledge is that which teaches us where knowledge leaves | off aud where it begius. Tbe religious observations of the I lord's may legitimately be regarded as essential to tlie Christian lite, i You may set it down as a truth which admits of few exceptions, those wbo ask your opinion ically want your praise. Time is an estate whioh will produce ' nothing without cultivation, but will al- I ways abundantly repay the labors of industry. A needless offense to another does not die. It is uext to impossible to kill it, and it is sure to turn up at soaie wrong time. Men forget that vioee draw blanks, >o surely a* virtues draw prises, in what they are pleased to call "the lottery of life." Ho that honestly gets all be oan, and saves all he gets, necessary living ei penses excepted, will surely accomplish riches. Tho years write their record on hu man hearts as they do on trees, in bid den inner circles of growth which no eyo can see. Avoid the soolding lone. Tired motfe> ers find it batd to do this, but it i« she who will get most good by observing the rule. A young man who i» the time trying to do good, very lapidly grows to be % very good rnau.
