DANBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1885.
TJKK «L> DUSIM H«tl
Vre beard many a strain that has thrilled
me with joy,
But none, I will uy, since the day I was
born,
lias pleased me so much an, when a small
boy,
I beard, on the farm,tha old dinner horn.
The trumpet vu tin, a yard or so long,
And was Mowed tor "the boys" at 110011
aud at morn.
The monotone strain was piercing and
strong;
But sweet, for all that, was the old dinner
horn.
When building the fence, or tossing '.he hay,
Or reaping the grain or plow ing the corn,
With appetite keen, at the noon of the day,
Oh, sweet to my soul was the old dinner
horn!
A mother's fond lips pressed the trumpet of
tin,
And blew her full soul tlirougli the barley
and corn.
Oh, 1 hear even yet the "Welcome, come in,
Come in, my dear boys, to the sound of
the horn 1"
Those li|is arc now still, and the bosom is
cold,
Which sent to us boys the blast of the
horn;
She is waiting in sleep, bcucath the dark
mold,
The archangel's trump and eternity's
morn.
The Embalmed Heart.
One evening a poor physician sat in
his room in Florence, wishing that soma
Christian would have pity upon his
mcagorly filled purse and fall ill where
bo should be forced to take the case iu
oharge. Not the smallest accident or
the most trifling sickness had coinc into
his hands in weeks, and starvation wan
staring him in the face. At this mo
ment a man wrapped in a d.uk mantle
glid«d ( into his room, addressing me—
for 1 who write am the hero of my story
—byname: "I need your,assistauoo,
doctor," he said in an agitated whisper,
"not for the living but for the dead.
My sister, who came here with mo on a
visit to some relatives from our home in
a foreign country, has just died, and
before interring her remains in this
strange land I desire, aecordiug to the
custom of our family, to carry away
with me bei embalmed heart, that so
much at least of our beloved one may
repose among the ashes of our kindred.
My mission is to ask if you wiil assist
me in this painful duty. It is necessa
ry that it be done at night, and quietly,
sinoe we do not wish to start the tongues
of the gossips, or to allow the servants
of Uie house to beoome aware of it.—
Here , U the certificate of her death
signed fay h«r regular physician, and as
an eamMt of my willingness to make
the visit worth your while, allow me to
lay thia ptuse of gold upon your tablo."
Seeing the glimmer of the large,
bright pieces in the flames of my expir
ing lamp, I could no longer hesitate.
Bande the straightforward manliness of
■j viator and his evident emotion quite
won my sympathy. I followed him, and
after a long walk—during the lattet
part of which 1 consented to be led
blind-folded— we stopped at the small
side gate of a largo and stately palace-
Opening this, we asoended in the dark
« winding stair case, emerging in s dim
ly lighud corridor. Preceding me
with noiseless footsteps, the stranger
touched the spring of a soerst door,
which, flying back, revealed a lofty
chamber lighted by asilver lamp swing
ing betweeu marble columns. Here on
a lov eauch lay the body of a beautiful
young girl.
"Yon wiil excuse my personal atten
dance, doctor," said my guide, turning
away his face as if to conceal his tears.
"It is more than I can bear, and I shall
wait without until your task is finish
ed."
After a brief examination of my sub.
jaet, who lay as if disposed for burial,
and noting with interest the fact of her
extreme youth and beauty, I prepared
to make an incision in the region of the
bMrt. Quickly, but less skillfully than
unal, I plunged my long, sharp knife
inte her breast—when, horror unspeak
able ! —the dead girl stined, opened a
pur of dark, imploring eyes, moaned
cnee, as the blood gushed in a current
over the bed, and then lay motion loss as
when I bad aeen bet first. So complete
ly did this eircumstanoe unnerve mo
that my band was paralysed. Kvident
ly the case bad been one of suspended
animation, and the hand that might
have rescued the p.>or.girl ftom the jaws
of death had but served to hurl her in
to them. Diss; and deepairiog, curs
ing the poverty thai led me to aoccpt
this fatal commission, not daring to look
a second time at my vietim upon her
blood-stained bier, I dashed my knife
upon the floor and fled. The door open
ed easily, but my visitor was nowbore
to be seen. My wish now was to avoid
him, and I rushed bosdlong down the
long stone staircase into the oourtyard,
into the street, believing the stars above
a thousand watchers n t£ere to taunt
mo. iTow I Bull 1 borne I
know not, but when '1 fonnd myself
onco more in the quiet of my poor room,
everything as I had left it, books ia
tboir places, tho ca* purring, my moth
er's picture looking at me with a smile
from tho frame abovo my bed, 1 felt as
if I had been wandering like Caio with
a mark upou my brow during a oentury
of woe. Throwing myself upon my
couch, I hid uiv face in my pillow, try
ing to shut out tho look of her dyiDg
eyes. Mot until the day broke did I
full in a tortured sleep, awaking from
which toward midday with a start 1
tried to persuade myself that the event
of the night was nothing but a dream.
Hut there in the drawer, where L had
locked them on going out, wore the gold
pieces, a silent but eloquent reminder
of uiy misfortune. Seizing the purse
with feverish fingers, I set out for a
long tramp in the environs of the city,
detcrmiued to bury the accursed thing
out of my sight forever. In a remote
bpot on a solitary hillside 1 made its
grave, wishing that 1 too might rest be
neath tho sod. As 1 walked home,
hunger and thirst overpowered me. I
gave my last bit of copper to a womaD
who was milking her cow, receiving iu
return a draught of the foaming fluid.
This sustained me to resell home again,
and in the street I met an old comrade,
who, railing mo on my wild looks, invi
ted me to breakfast. As 1 bad no din
ner the night before, poor human nature
urged me to accept, ( anil with tho hot
coffee, the rolls, tho fruit and the ome
let, a semblance of comfort stole into
my heart. While talking with my
friend an undercurrent of thought about
the tragedy kept lapping up every other
subject, as tbo tide comes in that noth
ing can hold back. Then it occurred
to me to wonder if the brother, fiuding
my mission unaccomplished, would not
remonstrate with me, and to take away
the money I had not earned. How
could 1 explain to him the reason of my
failure and my flight? Yes, surely he
would ooine to seelr me, and as an hon
est man it was my duty to faoe him.—
At to explaining to him, that was an
other matter. Only one person in the
woild could have told that my knife was
plunged into a living breast, and not a
■dead one, and she would speak no moro.
Why harrow her survivors with the un
availing knowldge of her brief return
to Ufe 1 After all I had acted without
knowledge, and at the instigation of the
one who loved her best. Certainly he
loved her, as brothers rarely loved their
sisters, it seemed to me. I recalled the
shudder with which bo turned from a
brief glance at the bed of death, and
the sob in his voioe that oame, appa
rently, from mighty griof. Assuredly
I should see him aguin. Even now he
might be awaiting me at my lodgings.
As I rose to go, my friend, who had
been carelessly looking over a journal
of tho morning, read aloud a paragraph
announcing that this was the wedding
day of tho young Princess N , a
Russian beauty, famous of late in
Forentii-e society, who was to marry
Prince L , a Roman nobleman as
young, rich and well born as horself.
'Let us go to the church door,' said
Paul, my friend, even if we are not
bidden. A cat may look at the king,
and all the world may aduiiro a bride
alighting from the oarriage.' Excusing
myself on the plea that my garraonts did
not eutitle mo to a place even upon the
pavement, I broke away from him and
returned to my solitary room. As I
mounted the steps, I walked slower,
dreading the apparition of my visitor of
the previous night. I opened the door
to find the roe in was oropty and undis
turbed. But upon my table lay a par
cel, and tearing it open I saw within my
bloody knife enfolded in a paper on
which these words weie written :
«l return to you your property, my
somewhat careless and decidedly ner
vous doetor. You will probably never
hear from mo again, but consider your
gold well earned.'
A eold sweat broke out upon my
brow Now, indeed, bad my feet touch
ed the waters of a dark and unknown
sea. Could it bo that I was the instru
ment of a crime ?
• • • o o o
I pass over the anguish of that day.
In tho evening, able no longer to en
dure my thoughts, I went to a cheap
csfe, whero I could veoturo to ask for
a simple meal on trust, since by to-mor
row would anive the small allowance
sout mo by my widowed mother evory
mouth. 1 asked for little, bat I ate
less. In my dazed state I was conscious
that people around we wore talking ex
citedly. By and by some newcomer
to li*ve tho story over whioh
thoy were all gabbing, told connected
ly. Thus it was that, like a creature
in a dream, I heard of tho tragedy
with whioh Florenoe that day was rin
ging—the tale of an infamous attaok
the night boforo upon lovely Priuoess
N ,on the evo of her wedding day,
by some unknown uiisercant, who, stub
bing her while she lay rslcep, had left
her there for dead. That she did not
die was a marvel, but the stab, though
deep, was not necessarily mortal
Clearly the assassin's hand must have
wavered in its aim. Almost immedi
ately tho attendants, roused by some
noise in the princess' rooui, had found
her and by prompt measures the unfor
tunate lady was restored to conscious
ness. Although bardiy possible that
she could survive, the physicians yet
gave some hope. Useless to speak of
tho sorrow befalling the nob'.o house
hold, or of tho young bridegroom thus
cruelly robbed of his inteudod. Much
more was printad and said regarding
the murderer, Lis motive, and the
search for him that was to bo set
on foot, but for that I cared little. 1
was ready to deliver myself up at that
moment, if it could serve to expose i ho
the villain who had used me for his tool.
W hen 1 returned homo again to medi
tate upon the best course for me to fol
low, I found another note from the de
stroyer of my peace, curt aud mysterious
as the prcoeding.
•Fear nothing, doetor. Y-u arc safe
and unsuspected. Our patient has es
caped us.'
• e a e o • o
Some years lator I went ono evening
to the opera. Looking up at the array
of beauties above me I saw her. Never
to be forgotten was the exceedingly
white skin, with the large, dark eyes
and hair of laven blackness. She wore
a rotie of white, with row after row
of priceless pearls around her throat.
'That's the "beautiful Princess L,'
said a gossip near me. 'She has just
returned to Florence with her husbaud
for the first time since the tragedy that
so nearly cost her life. Do you know
thero was a rumor that she had been
drugged in some powerful fashion be
fore the murder was attempted ! But
the whole affair was RO hushed up that
little was ever really known about it.'
•Strange that no clew was found to
suggest a motive foi the crime,' rejoin
ed his neiyhbor. 'lf she young, loving
and beloved, was so attacked, who is
safe 1 That handsome man iu tbo back
of her box, who is leaning over her
ahouldor—see, he has just withdrawn
into the shadow —is her husband, 1
suppose V
'No, the prince is the slight, youth
ful one, who is talking with the lady in
velvet. The other—yes, there ho ooiucs
forward—is the Count dc S., who has
been so long absent on his travels iu the
East. They usod to say he was a sui
tor for her baud, but apparently the
fancy is forgotten.'
Thero, silting at her elbow with an
air of easy confidence, evidently the
trusted and familiar friend of wife and
husband—l saw—my cncuiy and hers.
A OENEROUSTLITTLE BOY.
•Bobby,' said his mother, 'thorc are
two pieoee of cako in the closet, one for
you and one for Uracia. Tho one on
tho lower shelf is for you.
Bobby broko for the closet and pres
ently returned.
•Yon said that the pieoo on the upper
sholf was for m«, didn't yon V ho asked
of hii mother.
'No,' she replied 'that is Qraoie's.
The pieoe on the lower shelf is yours.
'Well, I'm very sorry mamma, but I
ate Gracie'a. But I'll 101 l you what I'll
do,' and a generous light shone in the
clear little boy's eyes, 'as soon as Ora
cie comes home I'll givo her a part of
mine.'—New York Times.
If rioh, it is eaay to oonceal onr

easy to oonoeal poverty. We shall find
that it is less difficult to hide a thou

A SINGULAR STORY.
Here is a story, overy word of which
is true, which is about as strange as
anything ever evolved from fiction. In
a Pennsylvania town the proprietor of
a store received an invoice of goods so I
valuable that he departed from his usu
al cußtom aud placed a guard in his
storage room. The young man on duty
was a novice, and it ia probably ho had
never handled a pistol. The darkness
of tho room was a suro preventive of
sleeping, aud, for want of something
better to do, the watchman concluded
to test his pistol. So he raiewd it and
fired it at random, the thick walls of the !
boose preventing tbo sound from being 1
heard any great distance. The rest of
the night was passed in a desultory
manner, but when daylight streaked the
sky the guard was startled by a knock
ing on the door by tho early risers in ;
the village. 110 look down the bais
and pushed back the bolts, and saw the
villagers surrounding the body of a man.
A barrel covered by a board stood ill
front of tho door, and the glass in the
transom was pierced by a bullet which
entered tho man's forehead. It was
therefore conclusive that the man had
been standing on the laircl and peering
into the room. The dead man was ro
uognixed as one whose life had been
checkered, and who was regarded as a
notoroius thief, and the ran loin shot
caused more joy than Borrow. The
watchman's hair didn't turn white, nor ]
did he become a raving maniac ; but it j
is certain that the evonts of the night
are still fresh in his memory.
A BEAU firUL INCIDENT.
A poor Arab traveling in the desert
met with a spring of clear, sweet, spark
ling water. Used as ho was only to
brackish weils, sueb water as this ap
peared to his simple ntind worthy of a
monarch, and filling his leathern bot
tle from tho spring, ho determined to go
and present it to the caliph himself.
Tho poor man traveled a long way
before ho reached the presence of his
sovereign, and laid his humble offering
at his feet. The caliph did not despise
the little gift brought to bim with so
much trouble. He ordered some of the
water to be poured in a cup, drank it,
and thanking the AraD with a smile,
ordered him to be presented with a re
ward. The courtiers around pressed
forward, eager to taste of the wonder
ful water; but to the surprise of all
the caliph forbade them to touch a sin
gle drop.
After the poor Arab had quitted the
royal prcsonco with a light and joyful
heart the caliph turned to his courtiers
and thus explained hisconduet: "Dur
ing the travels of the Arab," said he,
"the water ia his leathern bottle became
impure and distasteful. But it was an
offering of love, and as such I have re
ceived it with pleasure. But I well
knew that had 1 suffered another to pur
take of it, he would not have concealed
his disgust ; and, therefore, 1 forbade
you to touoh the draught, lest the heart
of the poor man would haye been woun
ded."
THE~U7ANT UP THE PAST.
Mr. Toombs always said Mr. Webster
was tho greatest man he ovor knew. As
a regulator of men he regarded Clay as
his superior, and on oocasioni Clay was
as eloquent as man could well bo. Mr.
Toombs says Calhoun was the greatest
logician he ever knew, and the two most
eloquent mon he ever heard were Cboate
and Pientiss, from tho North. In his
opinion the greatest man cvor produood
by the South was McDuffie, and the
most eloquent Southerner was W. C.
Preston. He said Kandolph was a re
markable man, but depended more upon
bis eccentrio, unique manner than upou
his real greatness. Tazewell was ono
of the most finished orators he ever
hoard, and Wm. L Yanccy was emphat
ically a first-class talkor. He knew
every President personally except Wash
ington, Jefferson and the elder Adams,
lie saw Jackson inaugurated, and sat
by John Quinoy Adams when he died.
Mr. Filmoro offered him the Secretary- \
ship of the Treasury, which ho decliued
to accept, and suggested Gov. Jenkins,
of Georgia, who was offered Socretary j
of the Navy. President Taylor offered
Mr. Toombs the Secretaryship of War,
whioh ho declined, and suggested Geo.
W. Crawford, who was appointed.
