MAURIEL'S NEW
YEAR.
BY AMY EANDOLPH.
uTou may talk as much as you
pleau," naid Mauriel Vane, nodding
her curly head, 4but I'm going to
reoeivA company in toe parlor on
New Year's Djty. Why shouldn't
It Every other Kirl does.''
"It's Biolul, wicked waste of
tlme,,, aid Mrs, Vane, "when the
qnjltinj; U no behindhand and
there's each a deal of sewiug to be
done."
"But life in't all for work," plead
d Muriel. "And Mr. Clifton ih

this once I it's only one day in the
jear. Do, mother !
"rituff and nonsense said Mrs.
Vue, who wan oiiti ot those hggra
Viiting women w ho made up their
uiiudH on the least juwHible ground
and then pride themselves on ad
hering to their word. "I've naid no,
and I meau no. When I was a
young girl, wasn't setting my cap
at every fellow that came along.''
"Mother," cried Muriel, in an agx
ouy of wounded pride, "do you
mean to say that J do tuck a thing."
'You think a deal too much ol
the beaux, anyway," said old Mrn.
Vane, screwing up her thin lips.
"Aud I'm goiug to break up that
suit of thing. See it I don'i !"
It was with difficulty that Muriel
Vana, uaturally a high tempered
gul, cheeked the iudinant retort
that rose to her bps. Surely, sure
ly it was not right that, she, a girl
of eighteen, who was earning her
own living by teaching in the dis
trict school, should be treated like
a child of eight ; that her tyrauuical
old mother should place no coufis
dence whatever iu her 6ence ot
right aud delicacy. Up to this
time she bad rendered tbe tribute
of au unwilling obedience to Mrs.
Vaue' behest ; and now she felt
that tbe moment for just rebellion
had oome. She felt that she could
not live any longer iu this cramped,
niggardly sort of ay, with the very
lumps of su ar for her tea meted
out to her, oue by one, and the pip
pin apples tor her lunch dealt spar
iugly forth, as if each one were
molded iu gold. Mrs. Vaue took
her lamp avray at nine o'clock every
night ; she dictated to poor Muriel
as to tbe very color of her dresses
and the number of yards which she
might purehane lor them; iu fac',

tier self. Uould who live thus always.
she asked hen-elf. Was it nsht
that 4he should f
'At all events, mother," waid
Mutiel, speiking in alow, deter
miutd tone, "L shall receive my
irieuds on New Year's Day I It a
my privilege, aud 1 claim it 1"
"iluoiph 1' was the coutemptuoUN
rejoinder, but there was a world of
meaning iu it.
So . Muriel retrimmed her one
blacksilk" drees aud bought a new
ribbon sash, aud baked a great, goU
deu New Years cake filled with
plume, and studded all through
with translucent bars of citron, and
herself bargained with tbe grocer
for two pouuda ol real Java coffee
with as little adulteration of liio,
Maracaibo aud chicory as he could
bring himself to coucoct.
"I cau use the china that my
grandmother Vaue left me in her
will," thought Muriel. "That at
least, is mine, although mother
would never allow me to unpack
it I"
She was busy decorating the walls
of the little parlor with laurel leaves
and long, dark-green trails of
princeplne on New Year's Eve,
when her mother came into the
room.
4Mariel,,? paid she, "I want to
send some dressed chickens and a
peck of those goldeu pippins to
your aunt Dora at the Iighthouse.
Jenkins's boy is ready with the
boat; but he's such a limb, that I
don't for the life of me, dare to trust
him with tbe apples aDd the bag of
bickoiy nats, I want you to go.
LINCOLNTON,
tnd ask Aunt Dota for the pattern
f the new bedquilt ; tb 'Philadel
phia Pavemeut,' you know."
Very well, mother,' said Muriel,
iu the old submissive way. "But
isn't it rather late?M
"PshaJV I" said Mrs. Vaue." Why,
the sun is an hour high yet. "You'll
le back long telore dark ifjeu
kins's boy is npry with the oars.7
A urn Dora, Mrn. Vane' only Mis
ter, was a worthy scion of the fam
ily tree tall, masculine and hard
leatured. She had alwaya taken the
entiie charge of White Reefs Light
house, even although the official ap
poiutinent was coulerred upon her
husband ; aud when, one day, that
public servant departed this life,
ihif.gn vent on per isly the same.
Mutiel was uot fond of her aunt
I) ra ; uii.l her aunt Dora regarded
be as a "poor, chicken-hearted
cature Vane all over. But
Muriel did feel sorry for the tone y
old worn-in, and nliei thought, that
even a pair ol lowls and a few ap
ples this unwonted manifestation
of nisteily feeling was worth e.ar
ring to Whiie Heels. So she made
haste to dou her wadded cloak and
little lur-edged hood, and to draw
on the scarlet woolen mittens w'lich
she hernell had knitted during
i hose long, dreary winter eveuings
w hen Mie and her mother sat iu si
lence opposite each other ; tor Mr p.
Vaue never invited any company,
aud gave her neighbors but scant
welcome when ibey came of their
own accord-
"Jenkins'ri boy'' was ready with
he boat, a small, ferret'oyed young
ster, with an intensely freckled face,
and a furtive, sidewi.se gUnee.whicli
al uriel ahvaje distrusted; and as
hey glided out over the water, ab
ready dyed with the orange reflect
tion of Fuuaet, in the directiou ol
White Ileefs Lighthouse, Muiie1
leaned hor chin iu her hands and
thought ot Mr. Clifton.
What would her mother say it
she knew it all that Paul Clifton
loved her that he was coming to
Hhk for her at the maternal bauds,
the very noxt day f
"It will be of no use, ''she thought
sadly. "Mother will say no. She
wants me to marry Squire Sedley,
who is bald aud deat and twiee aiy
ago, and who only wants me be
cause his housekeeder has struck
fr higher wages, aud he thinks a
w ife would be better economy. But
we cau wait, Paul aud I. We will
wait!'
And theu they ran up alongside
the t;H, spectral cylinder of the
lighthouse, for the tide was high
aud the lauding was comparatively
easy ; and Muriel sprang lightly out
ot the boat, looking up at the fiery
eye in tbe lantern above.
"Give me the bag and the basker.
Tommy," said she. "Steady with
tho boat now ! I'll be back in one
minute.''
So the orange glow had burned
down into a deep-ied radiance, and
the dusk shadows of the New Year's
Vjh were creeping over all the glas
y surface ot the sea.
Aunt Dora was at home. In fact
Aunt Dora never was anywhere
else. Her own society, little as
other people cared for it, was all.
sufficient lor herself.
"Oh, it's you, isitf' ea'd Aunt
Dora, as unconcerned as if he
lived ou dry land and was in the
habit ot seeing company every hour
in the day. tshe wae darning stock
ings by her own especial little lamp,

"No, nothing is the matter," said
Mutiel. "I have i;rougbt you a
j note from my mothe;. Something
about the pattern of a bedquilt, I
believe, Aud some chickens and
a bag ot frehh hickory nuts.'
J uii t Dira rTad the note once,
tice, three times over. Then she
rcg-tnled Muriel in a sinister lash
ion bom under her thick black
bro'As, while the girl plajed an
cousciously wjih the cat.
"Humph !'' she she. "Yes, I'll go
ami get the pattern !''
She was gone some time half an
hoar, at least, as it seemed to Mo
riel ; and when sfe came back, the
girl started up
N. C, FRIDAY, JAN. 19. 1894
"It in nearly dark,' tbe aaid. "I '
must make haste home.'
"Well, you needn't be iu Huch a
flurry,' said Aunt Dora, wi&h a
grim chuckle. "I've sent the pat
teru by Tommy Jeukins, He's naif
way to the shore ty this time."
Muriel uttered a little shriek.
"And how am I to get home!''
she cried.
"You ain't to get home at all,5'
s od Aunt Dra. "You're to stay
and spend the New Year with me.
That's what your mother said iu
her note.''
"But 1 have not!" exclaimed
Muriel, stamping her foot, vehem
ently. "I must go home 1 1 expect
company to-morrow."
"Sit down and be ey do !'
said Aunr Dora, ".lusf is for the
king. I'd like to know how on
earth you're to get home, with only
one lNat at the steps, and that pad
locked light, wilb the key snug at
tu bottom of my pocket P
And Aunt Dora laughed a hard,
diHsonaut laugh that was like the
croak of a raven.
For a moment Muriel gazed wild
ly around bko a newly , caged bird ;
then she burst iuto tears and sobs.
"It is all a stradagem of moth
er'ril" she ciied, wringing her hands
"I might have kuown it I I might
have known it !"
Aud that night at the White
Reefs Lighthouse, with the melan
choly sea lapping tbe foot ot the
tower aud the wind whistling ar
ound the steady glow of the beacon
wan the dreariest that Muriel ever
sent in her lite.
"You aurt good company to
night," said Annt Dora, glanciug at
ber niG-e, ever and anon, between
the .stitches cf her darning.
"Because you have deceived me!'
cried Muriel. "You and Mother !"
"Humph !" said Annt Dora. ' It
i.n .til for yoor owu good. You'b
thank us one of these da js. Qirls
oughtn't to have their own way.''
But Muriel only wept ou and re
fused to be comforted.
She went down to the foot of the
toer, the next day, and sat there
her cloak wrapped about her shoul
ders, listlessly gazing out on tbe
parkliug floor of tbe deep.
"Is that a boat coming V she
aked herself. "With one man in
it ? It is coming here,' I wouder T"
Nearer and nearer came the boat,
rocking lightly on tbe surface of the
waves ; aud presently Mauriel
started up, with a cry of joy.
For it was Paul Clifton waviDg
his hand to her, as he came ever
nearer and nearer,
"A happy new year, sweet Mori.
H !" he called out as tbe boat
touched the stone steps, "I am the
enchanted kuight come to rescue
you from the prison-tower 1"
"How did you know I was here?''
said Muriel, with sparkling eyes
and velvety cheeks dyed with crim
sou.
"Your mother was entirely uon.
committal," said Olittou gayly. "I
tou)d learn nothing whatever from
her except that you were well aud
were not receiving company. But
I was fortunate enough to meet
Tommy Jenkins, who, for the con
sideration of a silver quarter, ig
Domioiously turned state's evidence
And here I am, my sweetheart
Will you come with met"
"Ofcouise I will, said Muriel,
springing lightly into tbe boat.
"But where ?"
"To be married," said Mr. Paui
Chiton. "It is high time that this
system ot tyranny was broken up.
My little Muriel must be mine and
miue alone beuceforward. Do jou
not agree with me 7"
Aud Muriel answered :
"Ye.''
Aunt Dora got to the window
just iu time to shriek an ineffectual
summons to th pair iu the tHBt-ie-cedmg
boat.
"it's no use." saiii Aont Dora,
drawing a long breath. "When a
gill is iu love, hhe is neither to hold

Two boors later, Muriel walked
iuto the old brown-rooted bouse ou
the shore, leaning ou Paul Clifton's
arm.

And Mrs. Vane and Auut Dora were
compelled to eoufesa themselves

"Fate is la'e." said Aunt Dora,
grimly.
"And I watfh my bauds ol the

Seveial years go, in Wdlshite,
England, little boy was taken from
his bed lo the nigh, conveyed to au
out-house, aud orneilj oiurderetl.
Subsequently, his balf-siter, who
bad lienouw a in id die aged woinau,
was convicted of the crime ou her
owu confession. There eeetns to
havo been no doubt ofi:her guilt?
but nevertheless, as a general rule
it in not safe loeouvict ou this kind
of tectimouy nnlesa the confession
is sustained by corroborative cir
cumstances.
We frequently iead of persons
charging themselves with capital
offenses of which they could not
possibly have been guilty. There
have bceu cases of murder in which
hall a dozeu innoceut people have
volun arily accused themselves of
the crime. In some ins' a noes, the
inolive lor uch groundless elf
crimination is an inordinate wish to
tie couspieuous. Society, more's
the pity, liouizes its monster vils
lians, and there are tools in the
world rash enough to seek the bubs
ble Notoriety even At tbe baiter's
loop. Persons of a morbidly excite
able temperament are sometimes so
worked npou by tbe reports of
dieadiul homicides that they lose
their mental balance altogether, and
actually fancy they are tbe guilty
parties.
In tbe very case to which we have
alluded above, a man came forward
and proclaimed himself the mur
derer, describing with great min
uteness tne operation of cutting the
child's throat, etc. So plausible
was his story, that had he stuck to
it, his neck might have been jeopar
dy ; but finding tbe m itter was get
ting serious, he concluded to prove
an alibi, and was discharged from
custody.
Upou the whole, confessions are
opeu to many and manifest objec
tions as legal testimony, and when
unsupported by corroborative proofs
should nyer be considered hs con
clusive evidence iu cou't of justice.

A. Nixon, Enq :
My dear sir : I desire to thauk
you most cordially for the donation
you make to our lliHtoncal Society
as stated in yours of yesterday.
I regiet I can give you no satis
factory explanation of tbe military
button det-crihed. I agree with you
iu thinking it was probably worn
by a royalist. But you will recall
that in fact there were no regularly
organized troops either Euglish or
American in tbe fight at Itamsour's
Mill. It was wholly a battle betwon
the Whigs and Tories of that section
hastily gathered together for tbe
special emergency, and as suddenly
dispersed after the fight was over
When however, Cornwallls start
ed in pursuit ot Morgan alter the
battle at Cowpens, few months later
he rested bis army two dais at or
near Ramsour's Mill, and also rid
himself ot all surplus baggage. Iu
this way the button may have got
there. But I have coniulted all tbe
authorities at hand, and I Mud no
command to which tne letters 'lR P. '
would probably apply.
But I suggest this as a possible
explanation: The British commao
deis most always spoke ot the loy
alists or Torus as "Provincials.'
And just at that time, June, 17S0
atter the fall ot Charlston and tbe
capture of nearly all the Soul hero
troops, theloyalists every where rose
in arms aud orgauiz d. And it so
happened that tbe two chief leaders
iu organizing the Tryon Tois
Col. John Moore and Major Nich
olas Welch claimed to belong to
the noted provincial regiment ot
Col. Hamilton in Halifax county.
They came "in rich regimental''
and displayed tome go d in order to
entrap tbe credulous loyalists. Tbey
may also have drought with them
and distributed among their follow,
ers Home iuriguia ot rank and loy
ally. In this view "R. P r might
nell indicate tbe "Royal Provin
cials." But I nowhere find exactly
that passage.
Please allow a word rwrsounl to

prepared to believe irom the follow,
mg clipped from the Tenuesiee
Methodist, published, I thiok iu
Nashville, where there is a Sam
Jones Tabernacle that ootft forty

Then be proceeds to quote Bishop
Keener on tbe ''Lowered Pulpit.''
I don't know, of course, who the
friend of Dr. Pntcbard'a was to
whom Bishop Keeuer gars utterance
but I do know that I uever was iu
Bishop Keener's boot iu my lite.
I do know that Bishop Keener never
said such a tiling to me in anybody's
bouse or out doors or ip the clouds
or under tbe earth.. I do regret
when I see a preacher tangled up
either closely or remotely' with sn
infamous ' lie on another preacher.
