Iiidepetideut A (HILL'S SACRIFICE. fne sayins: of the Psalmist', that weeping" may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning, some times appears t be wofullv reversed in the human experience. Out of the ! sunshine of a great ladness ' the sub ject of the parental ehasteiiing- steps into the shadow ot 'disappointment and loss. The fair skies are overcast, and the poor, fluttering heart trembles at the on-rolling storm. It was thus with Agatha Trenton. On the heels of a well-nigh bewilder ing happiness had eo'me a crushing disaster. Aptatha wasthe daughter of a Brake fliire clergyman, and was the eldest of a somewhat numerous family. Her mother, for several years, had bee.i a complete invalid, and 1 on Agatha's shoulders rested tue burden of house hold management. It was not a light one. The vicar of Ililtworth had no private means, and his income from tithes and endowmeut was rot large. There was need for consideiable scheming a-nd'for continual self-denial, if the. finance of the vicarage was to be ordered honestly in the sight of all me i. It was probably the pressure of this load of care that made Agatiia Trenton so different from other girls. At twenty-two there were those among her acquaintances who openly spoke of her as old-fashion'ed. She was fair of feature, and graceful of figure; the most captious of ciitivs was forced to admit so much. But; there was about her a reticence, a peculiar, subdued ait that seemed to shut her off behind walls of mental isolation. "Agatha is a good girl I only wish Lwere half as useful ; but she'll never marry,"' said vivacious Mabel Sutton to a friend. "Agatha keeps too much in the background : no lover will ven ture to approach.'' It was an erring prophecy. In less thau a fortnight from the evening of its utterance, the friend who had so gravely listened to it, had placed him self and his fortune at Agatha's feet. Roderick. DaJling was a good match. He was proprietor of the mill which hud just been opened at the'uorth end of Hiltworth, and which was destined or local opinion was mistaken to revolutionize the hitherto quiet mid land town. Ho had a handsom? pres ence, .an irreproachable character, the assurance of a moderate competency! "ily love is not the growth of yes terday," be pleaded'. "It has been de veloping day by day for months ; it grows stronger with every glimpse I get of yon, with eveiy word I hear you speak. Give me an answer, Miss Trenton -Agatha." ' ' She maiden' was rosy with surprise, and she trembled nt the venemence of the young man's avowal. But already her heart was enlisted on KodericK s side, and before he left her she had shyly confessed the truth. . "I cannot denv that I do care a lit tlc,"she stammered ; "but, indeed I can't promise what you ask this af ternoon ; I must have time to think. There are difficulties'" Agatha was listening, as she spjke, lo the echoes of noisy voices in the nursery, and before her mental retina rose the picture of her palei sufferiug mother in the adjoining room. If she consented to forsake her home,the vie ar would have to engage a house keeper. . ! j I understand it all,' Roderick repli ed, eentlv. "Nevertheless, I believe even-you. father who must of nefes- sity lose if 1 gain will advise you "to sav U'ves.' I will call tomorrow and knoiv my fate, Miss Trentou." The morrow came, put the vicar of Ililtworth could answer no question of human tips. In the night-watche3 the Master's messenger ilmd visited the bedside of the faithful toiler. Francis Trenton had gone home. It was heart disease, the physician said, from which, unsuspected even bv himself, he had probably been in danger many years ? The outlook for Agatha was entirely changed When the last sad offices for the dear one had been fulfilled it was necessary to look the future fairly in the face; and this forecast was far from agreeable. An insurance policy for no very large sum represented the resource of the bereaved family. Mrs. Trenton was in despair. Fortunately, Agatha posessed a genuine talent for painting. She had already earned a slender store of go'.d by utilizing it, and now resolved to make a more extended and determined effort to eonquer the ap preciation of paying patrons. She must become, in a sterner sense than ever, the stay of the helpless house boald. (With an instinctive delicacy, Roder ick Dulling refrained, duting these days of trial, from even the remotest reference to the offer he had made. He expressed sympathy; lie afforded nnos tentatious assistance where an oppori tnnity disclosed itself. But of love he said nothing. . ! Yet the girl knew that, though silent he-was simply biding his time. Sooner or later it was inevitable that an or deal should arrive. Alone, in the soli tude ot her chain bei, not seldom seen on her knees, she groped her way to a decision, and, having reached it, she held it fast. She had no right to ask any young man to wait indefinitely, and to the struggle she had enteied she saw no limit within a long vista of vears. It was impossible that she should impose her burden upon Rod erick, even if he were enamoured enoigh to invite it. She must fight her own battle with her own brain and fingers. The young manufacturer was expecting his brother from the North shortly. The two would then settle down together, and Roderick could hnd a wife and liou.-e-mistress m Aeatha thought, with a pang Mabe! Sutton. A whole month went bv. aud then Roderick ventured to speak. "Agatha, dearest," he said, "can you not give me the promise for which I am waiting! I hope this i not too hasty an appeal, but I hear that Dr Royal is about to move from Brighton villa, and and if you give me per mission, I will take the house; it is commodious one." It was one of the largast and best in Hiltwoith; and the suggestion showed very closely that Roderick Bailing de sired to surround his wife with every comfort, and even luxury. But Agatha Aras firm. Duty demanded the sarri fice of sweet young hopes,, and though now and again her heaft died within her at the thought of the lonely life time that might lie ahead, the impera tive claim should be obeyed. i "Ithank you very muc.i for the honor you have done me, Mr. B illing," she replied, with the faintest perceptible quiver in her tone; "but I must refuse. I told you there were obstacles; they ; re quite insuperable." ; 'Quite! May I not help you to over come them. Agatha?" "No, np!" she cried, hastily; "in deed, it jaanuot be. If if you care as you say and as I believe leave me, look for someone else. , Probably! I shall never marry. There are other girls." m "To me there is but one in the wide Jl Aft -4.!! I T world, ne answerea noarseiy; suu, 1 will not annoy you; I will wait. Good- day, Agatha." j . The conflict was over now, and the victory won. In the refuge of her own room a flood of tears came to the maid en's eyes. But something of thankful ness for a vanquished temptation mingled with that bitterness of renun ciation. AH was not gloom, though the lights of earthly ambition ; had cone out. In the exercise of unselfish ness Agatha Trenton found a deep and abiding peace. On learning- of the vicar of , Hut- worth's decease, and of the straitened circumstances of the family, certain friends in a southern eentre exerted themselves to obtain admission for the two eldest lads into ft high class ehari- table institution, established for the sons ot clergymen. The endeavor was successful, and it seemed to both Agatha and her mother that it would be best to remove into the immediate neighborhood of the school. The abandonment of the vicarage was in av case inevitable. There were few ties to bind the Trentons to Hiltworth, and so the project of departure was quickly carried out; at Melbury, with in sound of the city hum, 'tie wrestle with poverty was continued under slightly less strained conditions. A correspondence was naturally maintained between Agatha and sev- eial of her midland acquaintances. But in all her letters the girl was ex ceedingly careful to avoid even the most distant and enigmatical reference to Roderick Dalling. ttis life and hers had drifted apart, and it Was better that a thick veil of oblivion should cover the bygone episode of love-making. But before the summer was 'over a fragment of intelligence had come, which. Agatha tried her hardest to re ceive with equanimity. ... ' "By-the-way, there was quite a fash ionable marriage here, last - week," wrote theunsuspectitg friend; "Mr. Dalling and Mabel Sutton, have gone into bonds of holy matrimony isn't that the proper expression f" , . And then followed details of the bride's dress and behavior, which only a femi nine pen could have mirrored so exact- i ly, and only a lady's eyes could have been expected to pursue with interest and with orthodox admiration. "It is all ended, then all!" murmur ed poor Agatha, with a sigh and a stray tear. "I hope. they will be happy." She went up stairs, sat down by her mother's sofa and read with even voice and unwonted pathos. She would crush down unlawful repinings at the very outset. Very nearly .two years had gone by in this placid, humdrum manner. Agatha's painted had prospered, and the heavy breathing of the gaunt wolf was no longer audible at the family door. Moreover Mrs. Trenton was dis tinctly improving in health and spirits. The change to Melbury bad accom plished what medicine could only feebly attempt. The boys were doing well wiih heir studies, and the. three younger children were day by day be coming more hopeful. "The horizon was decidedly brighter than at any date since the death of the reverend father, and the good fortune so far as Agatha was concerned had not yet reached its climax. Strange stories had recently drifted to Melbury respecting the doings at Hiltworth. It was said that coal had been discovered in the vie'nity; that a mining shaft had been sunk in a field in the rear of Messrs. Dalling Brothers' mill, and that nothing short of an in dustrial levo'ution was before the en tire district. . Agatha longed to ex plore tor herself these wonders, but scarcely dared to venture as yet into! the possible presence of her ancient iover, even if she could easily have spared the time; she had to be con tent with the reports of her corres pondents for awhile. ' It was a hot August day, and the silence of the summer noontide seem ed to have penetrated into every eot tage and homestead in Melbury. The ticking of the clock was the solitary sound that troabled the repose of Agatha's trim little kitchen. The girl was pausing in her task of setting in order some sketching material. Sud denly a ring came at the bell. She hurried through the passage and open ed the dooi . "Agatha in person? Surely a good sign!" said Roderick Dalling, impul sively, with outstretched hand. The girl hhd paled and with difficul ty repressed a cry of eager joy. Her surprise betrayed her unquenched af fection. 'Mr. Dalling! Where is your wife?" she faltered et last. "My wife?" "Yet; 1 heard or your marriage many months ago." A sudden light broke upon him. "That was my brother," he answer ed. . "Dick fell in love with Miss Sutton, and the engagement was a very short one. You did not thick me so fickle, Agatha?" What could she say? The reproach in his tone had gone to her heart, and stirred strange depths pf passion and of happiness. She was-sileut aud her eyes refused to meet Roderick's earn est gaze. The visitor was standing in the old- fashioned parlor now, and without re sistance he had drawn Agatha to him "1 have waited a3 I said I would," he whispered;"! knew the cause of yont objection, and I honored you for it. meant to make a fortune and then come to you again, it it were years hence. But you have given me wealth, and all I have to do is to ask that you will share it." "I? how? "Instead of taking Brighton villa bought the Moorfield. You have heard tae result?" '"Coal has been discovered "That coal today would belong to another but for your delusion of self- sacrifice. Half of it is fairly yours; Agatha. Will you accept it?" -" Roderick had no need of spoken ; re ply- "But how did you find me ontf" she asked, some minutes later.

Bat on reading the number of Sun- dayi April 10 I notice in. n 'article hiaded'Fashion; Reigns Heie," in alVdingjto the engagement' of Miss Daisy oxe, daughter of Colonel Frank Cpxe, your 'correspondent makes a blunder in speaking of Colonel Fraak Coxe being a Northern man. On the contrary, he was born and raised in the town of Rutherfordton, th,e county seat of Rutherford County, N. C. and did not go Ndrth!:permaneutly until 1803. In speakirig with one of his old schoolfellows a few days ago, he said : "Why, bless your soul, I will show you the house he was born in, and he ran around these streets a cotton-headed boy until he was about 10 years old, and as to his being educated North, the only schooling he ever got he got right here and at Greenville." X The history of this branch of the Coxe family coming South was this r Old Tench Coxe (as he is called here), the-present Frank Ooxe's grandfather was from Pennsylvania, and acquired either by purchases direct or by chart er immense tracts of land in this state. His son, Frank Coxe (the present rank's fatheri came here into": Ruth erford County from Pennsylvania fet tled here, and married a Miss ! Alexan der, one of the Southern beauties ot that day. $he is livitrg yet, and at a green old age, about 70, and, if I may be allowed the expression, is as pretty as a picture! She lives within one and a half miles of Rutherfoidton, on the ine of the Charleston Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad, of which road Colonel Frank is president ; and just in front of his mother's door the com pany, while laying the track a few weeks ago, put in a side track for his own use. so tbat when he comes to see his mother ,:which he does very . often, his private jsar Da'isey is run on to his own lails. J His father is buried in the cemetery at Rutherfordton. Colonel Coxe is, so to tpeak, almost overpopniar in his old home. He is idolized anjoug all classes, black and white, the whites always addresseing him as of old, simply "Frank," and blacks as "Mars' Frank." When he has an idle hour while here, you will find him in Rutherfordton, surrounded by a group Ot his old-time friends. He has a large estate on Green River, about six miles from his mother's, on which he has the most improved stock of all kinds! He spends a gre.il dea of his time at this farm. And now;permitme to make.another correction, j Your Washington corre spondent, "E. J.," in her letter in the paper of April 11, in speaking of Washington society, says that the one- year old baby of Senator and Mrs. Don Cameron is named Martha, tbat having been the name of the Senator's mother. I think this is the second or third time (Emma Janes) your corre spondent has made this assertion. The Senator's mother's maiden name was Margaret Brua, pronouneed Breu-aw I knew the Cameron family before the present Senator was born, and knew his dear old mother well. She and my mother were, so to speak, raised girls together, and, until the time of their deaths it was "Margaret" and "Sal lie." Now while on the subject of babies. don't you think that in this plain free land of ours and under this plain Dem ocratic -reiorm uovernment ot ours that the christening of Dorothy was jest a leetle load ? Let me give you a pointer. I don't know whether Miss Martha Cameron Mias been christened yet or uot. If not when she Is there will be none of that Dorothy business, torn foolery in hers not if her red-headed papa can help it An Adopted North Carolinian in PMla delphia Prm. fie vr land nnd (be t'olorefi Rare. .Mr. C. H. J. Taylor, the newly ap pointed minister to Liberia, is quoted as saying that if Mr. Cleveland is re nominated, one-third of the colored votes will be cast for him. This is, perhaps, an extravagant estimate and should be received with an allowance for the zeal and gratitude of a person al beneficiary of the Administration. At the same time there is undoubtedly something in it. The President's atl titude toward the race has been and continues such that np honest colored; man can withold his friendship or" support.
