"NOTHING gVCCEETHI LIKE SUCCESS,** DANBUKY, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST G, 1885. From the Country. 'lt's Seventy-eight Pickttt Place,' said Mi„ 3 Diver. 'Aud here is my cheek, driver !' Miss Dorfthy Diver gave these orders with an assumption of being we\l up in the ways of tlio metropolis ; ih faet, she rfled to speak ns if she were in the daily habit of engaging hacks. But hor feign ed manner did not impose upon Charlie Kingston at all. 'A little girl from the eountrjhe said to himself. 'Mover been here in IwrJifo before. Sho : ll lose that 00111- , leftorrtSfrffe she has been here many months.' Charlio Kingston, be it undeistood, was not a professional job l. Mo him self was not so very long from the rural districts. It had become necessary lor him to come to New York to take care of an old ancle who was an invalid ; it had also become necessary that he should earn his living A neighboring livery-stublo was to be sold out at a bargain, and Charlio bad a healthy mac's liking for horses. So, he bought it, paying part of the money down and giving a mortgage for the rest; and ho was here this misty February ovuuing because one of his drivers hud sprained a wrist in lifting a heavy trunk, and business was brisk. Dorothy looked at him as he held open the hack door for her, and seoretly wondered if this was tho typical New York hack driver of whom she had read and heard so many evil things. His eye was bright and clear, his cheek wsire a healthy glow, and no prince of the blood could have boon more quietly courteous than was he. While she wus still considering these things, the hack stopped. •Seventy-eight Pickett Place, miss,' said tho driver, jumping down from tho box. 'Oh, have wo reached it so soon'' cried Dorothy, starting out of a reverie. 'Oh, dear, I forgot to ask how much the fare would bo!' Vmu ''.6llar, miss,' said Kingston, smiling pi sjiiti of himself at her evi dent panic/ Dorothy drew a sigh of relief. This surely was not the overcharge she bad ureaded. 'lf you would pleaso carry the trunk up stairs,' said she, timidly, half-fearing lest the New York lmck-driver should cut tho baggage, with improaations, on tho pavement, and decline farther to serve her. But Charlie Kingston did nothing of tho sort. He only said, 'Certainly, miss,' and went up stairs at ouoc, with the trunk well-balanced on his should er. •The fourth flat—this is quite right,' said Dorothy. 'l'm so much obliged to you, driver " And she timidly tendered the dollar bill, with a little silver dimo. Kingston gave back tho latter coin. 'One dollar is my faie,' said be, calro 'y- •Hut for your troublo with the trunk,' she faltered. lie smiled a little. 'lt is my business to take trouble,' said he. 'Good evening, miss.' And before Dorothy could remon strate be was gone. 'I never saw such a nice back-driver in my life,' thought she, as she tapped at tho door. She listened. There WAS DO voice, but thore were footsteps inside. 'I wonder,' she mused* «tf Norman will opon tho door himself'' For Dotothy, be it known, had plann ed a surprise for her brother Norman, who had come to New York, about a year sinco, to follow his trade of printer. Dorothy had longed to come, too, but alas, she was not a man, but a woman ! But of late her stepmother had made the family home so obnoxious to her that alio had suddenly conocivcd tho de termination of coming to New York to live with Norman, thus severing tho Gordian knot of affairs. ■He will be glad to have me keep homo for him,' she thought ; 'and l— ob, I would go to the very top of Pike's Peak to get away from that woman " So here she was, upon that wintor night, rosy, smiling and eager, when the doot was opened at Number Seventy eight Picket Place. ♦Oh, Normy—dear Normy " And she flung herself, sobbing, upon the broad shoulders that colipv! tin otic cheery gaslight. 'I—I bej. your pardon,' faltered a deep voice, 'but it isn't Noriuy ' Mr- Diver hasn't cou! in yet. lam Poyul Brooks—his ohu ui, you know ! You aro his uster I Mippiv-yo'i look ox- actly like him. Pray sit down by tho Arc and Warm yourself, it's very cold.' And Doro'.hv, blushing to the very roots of heiTiair, obeyed. 'Will he bu in soon *' she stammer ed. 'Very soon lOKV. May I give you a cup of tea 1 I flatter myself I'm rather a dabster in the browing of tea. We. take turns in kitping house, we fellows • -Normy Di'iat, Hill Blake and me, and this is ray v« *k. We club together and rent this li a' Wo couldn't stand tho boarding business any longer, you !npw, KIT W>iv«fr." And thus *-|iatting to relieve her embarrassment, lie bustled around, and presently brought her a cup of very nice tea on a duoty Japauese tray, with two or three fossil biscuits aud a slice or two of cold b&ef. Before she had finished it, Normau himself came in, fresh and breety. 'Who have you here?" he cried. 'Hello! it's Dotty l Why, you pre cious little pus«y, how on earth cauie you hero !' And then Dorothy told her tale, in terrupted a few minutes later by tho appearance of tho third young printer, Willoughby Blakj by name, who was equally amazed aud equally disposed to bo hospitable to tho pretty stranger. 'Aud so,' said jtorolhy, holding tight on to Norman's bund, 'l've come to live with you.' •You arc the dearest little lass in all the woild,' said Norumu, with a puzzled look ; 'but, you seo, it won't work. There's tbe other fellows, you know It's share and share alike in our house keeping affairs, and we haven't any extra room. 'I could sleep on the sofa, with a rug over nic, aud give Mis« Diver luy den !' suggested Brooks, eagerly. 'Your don is all very well for a rough chap like you,' said Bill Blake, m a superior way, "but it wouldn't do for a young lady. I'd offer mine, but it is only lighted by a shaft, with J'ilkiu's . bii'uy directly 'balow. I'm used to it, but I don't think any one else could stand it.' 'Sho could stay with Kitty Cliff !' suggested Brooks, suddenly. 'Tho very idea!' shouted Bill, smit ing his knee. Aud Gorman whispered to her that Kitty Cliff was the fiancee of Brooks— a bright girl, who lived a few doors down the street. 'You'll be sure to like her, Dotty,' said ho. 'And I can see as much of you as if you wore here.' Dorothy's lip trembled. 'But 1 wanted to surprise you,' said dho. 'I wanted to be your little house keeper, Normy.' 'You have surprised me, Dot,' said be. 'And next spring, when the lease runs out, I'll give Blake and Brooks notice to qtiit, and you shall come to live with me.' He walked around with bor, a little later, to Miss Cliff. Miss Cliff received them with a smil ing welcome. 'Oh, I'll take tho very best caro of her,' said sho. 'l'm so glad to have you for a room-mate, Miss Diver. Aud perhaps I oan get you a place in the store wheie 1 try on.' 'Try on !' repeated Dorothy, in some bewilderment. ♦Jerseys and mantles, you know," explained Kitty Cliff. 'For tho cus tomers to judgo the effect. I know they want another girl at the ready made linen counter, and I think that my recommendation would bo worth some tiling. It was a quiet, bomc-liko house, kept by a rospectable widow, aud Dorothy grow quite cheerful sitting by Kitty (.'tiffs fire, in spite of the disappoint ment she had that night sustained. Tbe rattling of milkmen's oarti ovet tbe stones awoke her betimes in the morning, and she went wjtb Kitty down to the breakfast-table, where only the earliest boarders had a.l yot made their appearauoc. And the first she knew sho was oourtcsying to the- very hack driver of last night, while Kitty was saying 'JHiss Diver, this is Mr. Kingston. Mr. Kingston, let me present you to uiy friond, Miss Diver, fioui Schoharie county.' 'Why,' cried Dotty, "it's tho hack man !' 'lt's the young lady for Soventy-cight Pickett Place" said Mr. K ngstoa. 'Hut I ini not a hackman " 'Neither do 1 live at Seventy-eight Piekott l'laoe !'said Dorothj, laughing. Aud (hou cusued a mutual explana tion, iu tho course of which Chirlie a.id Dorothy became excellent triolids. Our little heroine sueeccdcd in ob taining tbe vacant situation at filestore where Kitty Cliff 'tried on,' and, con trary to Sir. Kingston's prediction, her roses bloomed as brightly as ever at the expiration of three months, h'or Dotty was happy, and there is no tonio librt happiness. 'Well, puss,' said Norman to her, as the winter wore itself away, 'I gave the fellows notice to oloar out to-day. 1 shall he all ready for you to come and keep bouse for me on the first of Ma*' - 1 Dorothy blushed vividly. 'Oil, Norman cried she, 'l'm rfo sorry, but—' 'Hut what i' said N'oiuian. "You're not going back to tho country ?' 'No, not exactly,' said Dorothy. 'Hut I'm going to keep house tor some out else. I'm engaged to Charlio King ston." 'llello !' said Norman Diver. 'Then tho fellows may as well stay where they aro !' 'lf you don't mind,' whispered Doro thy. • 'Well, you'll have a feood husband, said Norman. 'And cow that bis uncle is dead, he'll have a nice little property of his own After all, puss, it was a clever idea of yours to come to the city. 'But I never dreamed how things were going to turn out'' said Doiothy, Naiu June* on liurkalldcr*. Sam Jones, the revivalist goes for the dancing church member and the high interest money lender. Ho beholds too much inconsistency and hypocrisy in the church and calls for a cleaning out of the clans of the black and tan stripe. Here is an extract from one of his seruions : "If a man bo overtaken in a fault, ye that arc spiritual restore him." God iu heaven stands pledged to the church es of Nashville to convict all the Mntior.i ihcy '- 3 -, taitc c.u'c of. If tiierc is one incorrigible bacKslidcr among you the whole church has backslidden. There is no half-way measure about this, as you think there is. You see that old church member there? He stands well because he pays his debts, while he is charging sinners 30 per cent, inteicst on the money he leuds them. Hero is another fellow that is a great dancer. You don't want to turn these money Jcnders and dancers out. They are willing to stay in the church, these dan oers aud usurers, can get along very well together, but as soou as their preacher differs from them they jump on him with both feot. Let a poor brother backslide and tho church members will jump on biui. When I neglect my fal len brother after he has backslidden that makes me as much of a backslider as lie is. When 1 gee a poor spiritual cripple 1 must help him. One brother should get uuder one arm and be a crutch, and another brother get uuder the oth er arm as a crutch, and on these two crutches the crippled brother can be hobbled into heaven and whon he gets there the crutches will be there too." A nurd to tlic Hoys. You are made to be kind, boys, gen erous, magnanimous. If there u a boy in school who has a club foot don't let hiui know you over saw it. If there is a poor boy with ragged clothes, don't talk about rags in his hearing. If there is a lame boy, assign him some pait in the game that doesn't require tunning. If there is a hungry one, give him part of your dinner. II there is a dull one, help hiui to get his lessou. If there is a bright one, be not envious cfhim: for if one boy is proud of his talents, and an other is cuvious of tbetu, there aro tw» groat wrongs, and no more talont than boforo. If a larger or stronger boy has injured you, and is sorry for it, forgive him. All tho school will show by their counUuancc how much bettor it is than to have a great fuss.

A liovel well kept is a palaco to the inmates. Much learning shows how IRtfe mor tal know*. 1 tetter go roand about than fill in)* the ditch. A pleasant tone and a sweet smile cast nothing. Virtue and a trade are the beat por tions for children. Hailing among lovers is the nost neighbor to forgiveness. A! an is a sort of tree wbieb we are too apt to judge by the bark. It is the man with tbe most property that has the greatest wiil power. When a man is just about to sneeae you couldn't buy him off witb a con sulate. A camel sometimes lives to the age of 100 years. No wonder he has • hump upon his back. "Nothing is impossible to him wha wills," says a philosopher. No, nor te the lawyer who oonducts the ease. The man who always agrees with yon may be a pleasant companion, but when you want advioe go to some one eke. Insult not misery, neither deride in firmity, nor ridicule deformity ; tbe first shows inhumanity , the second, folly ; the third, pride. Learning makes young men temper ate, is the comfort of old .g«, standing for wealth with poverty, and serving as an ornauieut to riches. No kitchen should be without scales to test the integrity of things purchas ed by weight, and to measure the quan tity of various recipes. A ttiiter asks, "Why does the mod ern woman tire so easily t" One reasow j h that the modern woman usually has a modern husband to look after. A celebrated physician boasting at diuner that he eured bis own hamfc, a guest observed : "Doctor, 1 am glad to hear that you have oured something." "Man is more apt to be kind to ani mals that love him than to the woman who does tbe same tbing," said Oeorge Eliot, There is but on* explanation : liack talk. Nothing bothers a modest hut hungry old hen so much as when she has made a hoarty breakfast off an old aboe-laoe and finds tho uufoitunate shoe at the end of it. Well, the telephone man, baa an arti cle in tbe current issue of Science, tell ing how to avoid icebergs. We haven't read it, but ono good way is to travel only by railroad.

'1 understood from what you told Be that be used force to compel your ex it.' 1 don't see how you got that into yonr head, for 1 didn't aay anything of tbe kiud.'

On tho icur seat of a Trcmont street car were two gentlemen, indulging them selves in that vice only allowed on the throe rear seats. They were stranger* to each other. However, they exchan ged a few coiuuionplaoe remarks abvwt the variable New England weather, and finally, the younger man, spying a fe male down on the front seat wearing "a ridiculous old trap of a bonnot," which was, in fact, the latest love of feminine headgear, jocosely gave expression to his thoughts, and closed by inquiring of bis nuighbor it ho didn't think tbe bon net "most ripe enough to shoot.''
