Mother and I are travellers ; "We've been journying many a day, So happy and contented, Along life's changeful way, Sometimes far up the mountains Where the tempest wildly blows, And sometimes in the Valley Whre the quiet water flows, Sometimes 'mid scenes of pleasure, When hope and joy were ours, When life seemed made of sunshine And einging birds and flowers, Sometimes in the darkness, '.Mid sorrow, doubt and fears, When the-world seemed wide and lonesoaa And life was made of tears. But, mother and I, we care not, Come joy or ele come woe ; We do not mind the journey If together we can go , For 1 am young and hopeful, And, when she's tired or sad, Then I know how to comfort And make her old heart glad. She is always trusting In sorrow or in joy, And fays the Lord is leading The mother and her boy. So we journey onward Together and aloue; Tov.ard the pearly city, Toward the Great White Throne Toward the Land Immortal Beyond the moon and stars, Beyond the Lonely Iiiver And the gate w hich Death unbars ; And when Life's day is fading, And in the sombve west Our tun is lowly sinking, Then we will wait and rest, TJntU she Lord of glory Shall take us by the hand, And lead us throuch the water To the shore of Heaven's land. 'Tis evening now with mother, There's twilight in her hair ; The sunshine of her eye is dim, tier voice seems full of care ; And maybe God will take her first, Will leave me here awhile To fight the battle all alone. Without my mother's smile. God knows, and we can trust Him, He doeth what is best, ' So mother and 1 will journey on Toward the Land where we shall rest The Land where all our hopes are fixed, Our happy "Byand-By," "Where we shall find our perfect peace Forever, mother and I, Will Bkardslet. Godeys' Lady' Book. A SUMMER IDYL, BY ANNE FERRIS MCIR. Johu Randolph wa about to do something eccentric ; instead of starting in Joly upon the usual hackneyed round of watering places and seaside resorts, he was goiDg into the country was going then, too, and it was net quite the middle of May. He came to this decision upon the impulse ot a rooment, but several things led up to it. lu the first place, he had id!y picked up a magazine iu the reading room of his club, which had some Hamilton Gibson's exquisite illustrations of couutry by-ways in it ; while in an other periodical he chanced to read "Sweet sounds and odors lold me like a sleep ; And wcodbird whistles from iU oiny bower-" Aud, somehow, a vision ot his boy hood das rose befoie him a vis iou long, delicioualy idle hours spent lying at full length on the carpet ot pine needles, while the wood-thrush sottly whistled over his head. How well he remember ed the flicker's wild laughter and the Nwift whir of the partridge's wing, and even the little Punches of hepaf.cas. which always grow in the hollows at the foot of the great beech. Years had passed since then years which had wearied him body and soul, and shaken his faith in the beieif that there was any thing good under the sun certains ly there was nothing new but up iu the hill country there might be some old things worth viewing. Acting promptly upon his decis ion, he had been at a quiet little inn in the Deerfield hill region a week He bad rambled about the country and driven, when his landlord could be prevailed upon to spare bis one steed and had fiDally sent for his own horse. But nothing seemed as he expected; the pine trees had not their old resinous or dor, as he remembered it ; the birds were not those of his youth; the poetical part of country life was a and happiness and content, ignus ! L - 1 fatui WDich were just as elusive m the seclusion of the Deerfield ldlla as in the turmoil of the city they were here, as there, beautitnl, shin ing pebbles, which he ever pnrsned and which ever eluded his grasp or droke at his touch. There was nothing even to arouse his enriosity, until one day, during a drive, lie paused a low, rambling house, with wide verandas and dor- j taer windows. lie was mainly tu' nous about it, because it was so nn- like other houses iu the viciuity, and because its appearance indicat ed that its inmates weie, perhaps, posessed of more refinement than their neighbors. It was painted a delicate gray, and nestled at the foot ot a velvety-green slope, which was crowned by an orchard in the pink flush of halt bloom ; there was a level strGtch of meadow on one side, and 00 the other an old fash !oned garden, which lost itself among cherry aad plum trees that were sending a snowy freight of fragrant petals down the sparkling waters of a merry little brook. Vines climbed the porch and veran da, a hammock was swung from tree to tree, and rustic seats here aud there gave the grounds an in viting look. His laudlady could only give him the information that the Armings 'ed of methods, he said, and fonnd ton's lived there, and tbey were j the departure she had made most "dreadful seclusive folks." The refreshing. And while he turned family censisted of an unmarried the leaves, Joyce observed him to brother and sister, and their niece 1 be a tall elderly gentleman at "daughter of, she who was, Mary liens'-, he seemed elderly to her nine Armington," folding her plump j teen yearsold eyes with dark close hands as she sank into a chair and i 'y cropped hair, a military mustache prepared for that bit of gossip which is ever so dear to the countryjheart. 1 Sue was high-headed, Man Armington was ; there wasn't any body good enough for her about here and she weut off and married a city ehnp, who painted pictures aud turned out to be poorer'n Job's off ox." Then the woman gave a cou temptuous little sniff, whether of derision ot "city chaps'i iu general, or of the attenuated state of Jot'3 ox, Randolph could not decide- He smiled quietly and said : "Aud then !' "They both died, and this girl that's Joj'ce, she came to live with her uucie and aunt. Was them trout cooked all right this morn ing V she asked her mind suddenly reverting to culiuary p.ffaias. "Very nice Mrs- Johnson ; I think I'll try my luck ag iin." So he shouldered his rod, and strolled off iu the directiau of a gieu through which a trout brook ran. At the entrance of the g!eu theie lay the picturesque ruins of an old mill; the dismantled tide:, bare beams and ratters iu sorrowful con trast with the fresh youug: verduie ou the hillside beyond. Time aud the elements had joined in warfare against it ; the lichens only regard ed it pitj ingly and bestowed their tender ministrations upon its time woru frame. The sight of the de caying timbers gave rise to a train of fancies, and it ii itquired no great stretch ot imagination to see the sturdy farmers coming and go mg with their grain and grists. While the sun, ehining through the leaves, cast shitting shadows iu the interior shadows which might, well enough, be form of the long gone miller, in his dust colored suit busily passing back and forth i while the dancing waters, in the sunbeams, wade the air seem "gray with the ghost of bread." But the wheels busy hum was hushed ; he was walking where the flume had once flowed so swiftly ; man's baudb work had perished, yet the book ran on, and on, with a nappy mur mur. Randolph was so absorbed in bis reflections that he paid little heed to his footsteps, until he was brought to a sudden halt by au om inous growl, and found himself cont fronted by a large Shepard dog and stumbling over a young girl olets purpling the bank which slop and her sketching paraphernalia. to the brook-side. He gathered himself np, and drew j l-.rks.tr mhila ha rr1 rtnwl r-; T. . .a i Lran, wunc hjo li. 1 oaiu, Willi a I r- assuring little smile : Don't be afraid, Corydon will not hurt you." "I deserve to be hurt lor my s:u pidity," he replied, stooping to pick up, and put in place, an easel which he had upset. "How much damage have I done ? ' "None, whatever ; unless perhaps, you have frightened my subject (a lonlegged beetle) away. I was on, ly raakiug 'near.the-ground' stud ies." "May I look at your sketch book f" "Certainly;" and she handett it to him with a quiet grace, wlulo he made rapid notes of a fair, oval face, clear hazel eyes shaded by loiig dark laehes, and an abundance of light brown hair loosely coiled in the back, and breaking into softly icurliug ilns about the low, but broad loi6head ; he saw, too, that she was slight, aud wore a simply gray flannel dress, fastened at the throat with a knot of ribbon. "Don't be critical, please," sue saiii, as he turned the' leaver of the sketch book, finding page af er page filled with dainty bits, graceful ferns, slim befrilled daisies, feathery sprays of June grass and a bunch of clover with golden-belted bee pois ed about it ; and again, the outlines of a graceful elm against a blue and and white sky, or an angle of old raiMenee, with . a cornehbnsh in full flower. Randolph could not commend its contents and their close fidelity to nature highly enough. He was tir- stern gray eyes, but with a gracious deboniar manner, and thought, "Un cle David would be glad to know htm and to talk with bim of the do iugs of the wold." Then she commenced to put her colorbox in order and make pre parations for going borne. "Do let me carry it tor you,'' of fered Randolph. "Thank you,'' returned Joyce, simply. "I shall be glad to have you.'' "This way, please,'' and she turn ed down a little path leading obli quely across the slope of the gJen. "I want you to see the one pict uresque feature of the vicinity." And when they reached the bottom of the bill, she pointed ba?.-k to a pretty little water-fail, which veiled the rocks with a silvery threaded softly falling stream. Then they came up from the botiom of :he glen into a meadow, following the carve?? of the brook, noting its spaikiiug waters aud little cascades, its gentle murmur, save when an uncouth stone, checking its way, caused it to brawl impatienrly; then, making a bold plunge around the obstacle, it collected its divided waters and flowed on musically than before. "That points a moral for us laughed Joyce, calling her compan ion's attention to it. "Why should not we thus treat difficulties that come in onr way, struggle hard un til we overcome them, then go sing ing on our journey, instead of wast ing precious time in useless repin ings "A very pretty theory, Miss" Then he paused a moment inquiringly- "Joyce Allison,'' she replied, simply. "And you, I kuow, are Mr, Randolph ' Randolph bowed iu acquiescence, and thought of the delightful un conventionally of their mutual presentation. "Bat you were about to say some thing of a thory ; please finish your sentence.'' "I was only going to say that you, who have probably never had a real difficulty in your life, cannot know how hard it would be to put such a theory in practice.'' And he spoke with deep feeling in his voice, and stooped to pick some of the VIs "Not those, I beg of you!" ex 3laimed Joyce, making a little mo :ion of entreaty. "It would be sac religious.'1 "Why asked Randolph, with iroazement. "Just a whim of mine. That special spot is sacred to the 'Little Glendorcers you-ve read about them, haven't joa, how they lived For twice a thousand years ' Flooting through the radiant ether?' until weary of life in the 'upper deeps of Heaven,' they come down to earth that their little lives might pass ihen you recollect, 'All their j y and sweet 1 egrets Blooin?d in bank t f violets.' Now this particular bank is conse crated to their memoiies, x lor it is always so royally purple, so laden with bloom that 1 nm Hure that it is the very Npot where 'Into earth their souls they bretthed ' " y "It is a very poetic fancy," laugh ed Randolph, "but I am so prosa;c and matteii-oMact that I am afraid I hardly appreciate it.'' "You must thmk Hiv head full ot silly notions," s tid Jove , h df apol ogetically, '"lint I am so much alone that I have come to depend largely upon my rather fertile im agination for companionship." Then they walked on in silence tor a moment, Randolph thinking what a rata aris he had fonnd a simple country maiden who wore flannel with the grace of a duchess, and who was full ot poetic fancies and artistic ides. They soon reached the house and Randolph was presented to Mr. and Miss Armiugtoti. The former, a slight, epare man of titty, dressed in rough gray clothes, but having the unmistakable lock of a gentle man. There was no unsatisfied, disappointed air about the man, as if he thought his lite a failure and was powerless to make it otherwise. Miss imiugton was a grave, quiet woman with sad eyes, and bait broadly streaked with gray, and tense lines about her mouth liue3 that told of suffering though there was a calm, benign look on her countenance as it she whs now at peace. Perhaps t;be had battled and conquortd, though her expres sion indicated resignation rather than victory ; possibly she had tested the bitter truth that the next saddest thing that belonged to a great defeat is a great victory." Strange companions for a young girl. Randolph thought. Their simple, kindly welcome, placed Mr. Randolph quite at his ease, while his affable manner and rare conversational power, so de lighted Mr. ArmiDgton that be gave him a cordiai invitation to come agaiu aud to come often, for he h;d found him wiliiug to discuss D it wiu and Spencer, which was a sure passport to his favor. As lor Randolph, time no longer hung heavily ou his bauds; and he found that his lonely spring dayn were delightfully spent ; nor did he always discuss evoiutiou with Mr. Armington ; Out oftener made his way into the old.fashioned garden when Joyce was transplanting from her hot-bed, and where he held zinnias aud asters for her, while she made cosy nests for their tiny rootlets in the moier, warm eai.h Then later, they strolled through the daisy-staned meadows, she, listening with rapt attention to hi discriptious of Euiopeau scenery,or more delightedly to his tales of the art wonders of Itaiy. Agaiu there, were long quiet mornings on the ! shady veranda when be read Ros- setti to her, the humming-birds flit- ting in and out of the houeysuckles ; and the bees droning away in the hearts of the great red roses tor an accompaniment. So the summer days weut slipping swiftly by, Joyce made happy by new books, and by having some one to talk to of her pursui'S; thinking all the time "How kind he is, how patient with my ignorance ! ' While Randolph was happy in his association with this pure young girl, whose influ ence was making him lees cynicaj, and was renewing his faith in wom anhood. He regarded her as little more than a child, yet there were times when be thought if fate had been more kind ; if there was not betweeu them a years, of a the guif of disparity misspent past, how inexpressibly sweet it would be to fold that fair young girl to bis heart; how reverently he would re gard her how tenderly cherish her ! Bat there was au impassable bar-f rier betweeu them; and remorse, the nemesis of a wasted life, held him with merciless grasp. Ho was a man of the world, aud was not wont to be so humble, or to think aught should be denied him ; but conscience had awakeneJ, and this giil should bo sacred. Joyce was in the garden one af ternoon filling a basket with creamy .syiingas and groat red roses, Ran dolph holding the branches aside while she cut the flowers ; leaching hastily tor one more perfect than the others in its crimson and size she tore an ugly wound in her deli t aie wrist with a great t hoi no. "One must undergo something to gain perteetiou ;'' she said with a brave little smile, while he tendeily bound up the injured wrist with his h audkeichief. Then he lightly raided Ler hand to his lips makiug a iauguing little speech about kiss ing the tpot to make it well, looking dowu into the hazel eyes and flushed face, and there seeing something that caused bis heart to beat quick ly, and also caneed him to make a sudden resolve. "Let me cany the floweis to the house lor you, while you are thiuk mg if you have any commissions fo me to execute. I am going back to New York. I came to say good-by." Joyce put out her band with an imploring, detaining motiou, for there had at that moment come to her a revelation of all he was to her, aud of the emptiness and dreariness of her lite without him. Johu Ran dolph could not help seeing it, nor help seeing her pallor, and it gave hi'n the keenest torrow. She quickly recovered herself. "You are very kind,'' she said, "Are you equal to matching embroidery silks, and can you tell helietrope from pink? If so, please send me Gve yards of ribbon " They were at the door, and he in terrupted ber by asking if she had a half hour to spare him. "There is something I wish to tell you," he sa'u, following her into tue little parlor and seating himself near her, "I have a wife in France. Do not look at me with such horror in your eyes, nor move away from me as it I were plague stricken, but pity me, for you do not know what it costs me to tell you this.' "Then pare yourself the pain returned Joyc?, pale to the very lips, aad rising from her chair. (Conclude p next week.) Wonih Carolina's Profif. Governor TiWmau is preparing for the expectarj drouth, ami he evi dently does not expect it to be very dry'eitber, for he has placed au or der tor 1,050 barrels of whiskey. It is not known from whom the initial stojk was purchased, or whether it was bought on credit or not. At any rate it is a good starter. Th's is an immense amount of wbikey and the very tact that the Governor has made tuch a large order to commence with i- sufficieut evideuce that it is not prohibition, but rev enue that is wauttd. And see what this will amount to: Suppose the liquor to coat on an average of 82 per gallon, which is very liberal, ac1 tnat eaen barrel contains ffity gallons. The State's fifty per tent, pioflt will be the neat sum of 52. G00, and according to our consti ac ttoa of the law, the counties and municipal governments wheieiu the sub dispensaries are located are al lowed an additional fifty per cent., which will amount to 7S.750. Thus we have the handsome total profij of 8130,250 which will be realized on 1,050 barrels of whiskey, and which must come out ot the pockets of the consumers. Rock Hill Her ald. CuluMeu, S. C.

A special dispatch fioiu Cotunua, Mich., to the Tribune says : WiN bam Sullivan, a farm hand whoso b utally murdered Ins empioyer, Layton Leetch, and murderously assaulted the Salter's wife, paid the penalty of his crime last night. H j was taken fioaj the jail aud lynched at 0:40 o'clock p. m. The mob conobied of over 600 meu who shouted themselves hoarse as the body dangled at the rope. Just before he was taken from the cell Sullivan attempted to commit sui cide with a knite which he had in some manner concealed about his person. By means of sledgehaniN mers the jail was soon broken by the mob and the noose placed art ount his neck when the crowd drag ed him through the jail corridors to the big j aii yard and to a low, marshy square ground about 200 yards in the rear of the jail build ing. Under the oak the men fought, 8tiuggled and cursed for the privi- ledge ot helping to tug at the rope, which was thrown over a limb, and with a sudden ierk Sullivan who had been lying motionless and ap parently unconscious on the ground was raised to a sitting position Another pull and bis bead and shoulders were visible above the black mass ot those that surrounds ed the spot. A terrible scene fol lowed. The body was pushed Ircm hand to hand. Several drew pock et knives and lunged at the swing ing corpse. Others began tearing his clothing and in a few moments only the shreds of his shirt remain ed hanging to the shoulders. When the body was lowered to the ground the portion ot the mob which had been unable to get close enough to take a hand iu the actual banging, seized upon the robe and dragged the lifeless body through the mire Afterward the crowd dragged bim about the streets and around the court house square.

The Richmond State quotes Scrip tuie for its protest, but it will be "pillorized" all the same : "The State has already noted the fact that the prophet Ezekiel uttered a solemn warning against the present fashiou of balloon shoulders. Iu the 13th verse ot the xviii. chapter you will find the words,: "Thus saith thu Lord God, woe to the women who sew pillows to all arm holes.'' "Here is a plain injunction against the balloon sleeves of to-day. It is certainly a pillow sewed on the arm hole. The fashion is as disfiguring as the crinoline, of which ft is the preensor. Logic and common sense are against it. Any nice girl who wishes to have a good time at the springs this summer will core a ten strike if she will ignore this sense less fashion. If there should be cavillers she has only 10 quote the words of the prophet : "Woe to the women who new pillows to all arm boles.''
