I nERE now, Jane, you kick the fen* der while I go through your fath er's pockets." The tpeakcr was a mid* die-aged woman with davk brown luir, parted iu the lantdlo aud plainly coiubed back over her ears, and snapping black eyes. At first glance alio aud her daugh ter, a protty pink and white, golden haired blonde of about fourteen, or thereabouts, soemed tho only occu pants of the room.' Tho tire had been covered for tho night, aud the girl Jauo sat by it, nnd when her mother whispered again in a moro omphatio tone, "Jane,- kii-k the fender," eho proceeded J^o admonish thut nuofTend* ing piece of furniture, which, being of sheet iron, and aided by thorattling of tho shovel aud tongs, made consid eiabte noisj. I have said they seemed tho only "'ocaupants of tbu room, but u moro comprehensive glance showed that each was not tho case. 3d the back room, in a sort of an al cove, was a bod, aud cm that bed lay a man kuowu a.* James Thompson, and alflS was*husband to tho black-eyed Voman, while Jnuowas their youngest daughter. ^ James Thompson seemed to be sound asleep, so sound that tho clang of tho shovel and tongs, aided by Jane and tho fonder, made no impres sed Upon him, but the moment Aunt ?Harriet, as sho was known to tho uoighbore, removed his trousers .from the lower right-hand bed-post, whero they huug, and thrust her hand iuto the pocket, bringing forth a handful of coin, with Us 'pccitljar chink, ohink, a sandy-haired, gaunt figure raieod up in the bed, aud said: "Harriet, woman, what are you robbing my pockets for?" Tho black-eyed woman gave him no j "answer, but turned to Ibo girl, say- I ing, "Jane, go to bed."' Tho givl crossed the room, opened j a door, nnd went upstairs. Then, > turning to tho bed, tho woman con- i tinued: "Now. Thompson, tho tiino has come; we mfght as well have it out." Then sho ijrew a small rocker to the side of tllo ? and.. sat down, while the man sank back on his pil low with a sort of a groau. "James Thompsou, you and me"' ? when excited Aunt Harriet always fell ! iuto bad grammar ? "you and me ?.Might just as well come to an under standing, and you needu't groan about it, either. When I married you, near onto twenty years ago, everybody said I married you for vour throe ~farui3 and your money. Howover that may be, a young woman in exchange for herself should have something, and yon know I Lavo made you a good wifo aud your four daughter and son a good mother. Look and you'll remember a talk wo baa when you asked me to bo your wife. Yon re member how you told y>e that scan dalous story of Meli6f.a Qrvis, the orphan girl who worked for your mother. "Harriet," came again from the pillow. . "Don't atop me, J. say. You mind the girl xCell enough, and you know her child, too; your child was only a little over a year old whon I married you, and you know, too, that ono of L'iiO cuuu?i/iu?^? ui our mar lingo was thai you should caro for and educate rotxsff Janic3 Thompson, who I held In my own arms while his mother died and when Ijtfiad him christened by t your same, X had the heart of n wom an in nie, and I could not havo tho child in the house witii my own chil dren, but you know as well as I do ' that I havo always looked after his raising nnd his educatiou, and that until be was twelve years old ho thought me his aunt nnd you his nnoTe. -a "Lie ^jill, Thompson. I'm not done yet. You know how atingy and mean you have always been; ty>w, al though you are the richest miA in the that me and my children aro fretting what should belong to another. " Therewith, as though to emphasize her Wor<Js, she gave too fender a kick oa her own account, while hor spouse turned hia faco to the wall, but lay bo quiet that sho was sure his sleep was only a pretense. ! After this a change took place in the household. Four hand seizor, bet ter dressed young women did not ^ontor tho village church than the Thompson girls, while young Willie, the youngest of tho flock, .was re splendent in black velveteen and brass buttous, which net off his blue oyo3 and blonde curls and made him look inoro liko an overgrown cherub than ever. Soon after thiayoung Jamos Thotnp* son graduated. He called occasion ally on tho family and always spoke of Mrs. Thompson as "Aunt Harriet," although ho had long known tho sloM of his own birth, and he also knew that most of tbs good thinga in hjslifo had come to him through hor. / Tho day after ho was admitted to tho bar Mrs. Thompson called ou him $ud told him to draw on thom for what money was necessary to start him well in businosu. He foil ou his knoes by hor side, and buried his head in her lap, while ho pourod forth his gratitude, begged to be allowed to call hor mothor, and j told how he would try to be an honor and a comfort to her iu bar old ago. Everything he did prosporod, Ho graduated, tlicu practiced a term, and was made prosecuting attorney, then Btate Representative, then went to Congress, and from that removed to New York, whence reports came back that there was no lawyer there luoro highly respected than ho, and no ouo ?'Ob, Willie; you have not oleaned your feel !" "ATothor, never mind my feet. 1 want to fcee you." "Child, child, how thoughtless you nre! Pon't you know this is oleaning day/anil I am busy, oleau up to my eyes?" '\Ont, mother, I tell you I must boo you. Is there not somo, placo where wo can bo alono?" Kho gavo u nigh mi1:! starioil, ho fol? lowiug, As they reaohod the (lining room ho took a ohair and was about to eit down, when sho gaspod: "Willie, not that chair I It bolongs to tho parlor, and, Willie, don't lean on tho t.'ihle cover, you'll muss it! And now, child, if there ia anything you want to tell mo, bo quick, as I've got to go back to the girls. Willie 1 Willie! don't you know belter than to open that window?

Tho boy was young in years and young in wrong doing, Jumping to his feet, ho gavo tho table a shove, threw tho chair Into a oomer and stopped ia front of his molhor. "Mother, I caino to make a man of ias. You have turned m^ away! Now, I don't oaro what becomes of me. You prefer your housekeeping toyouv only son, so make tho most of ir. I 'hope I may never seo tho old house a&aiu." Ho theu strode from the house, and as Aunt Harriot threw herself iuto p. ehair a panorama of her life scorned to spead out before hor. Sho saw her young marriod life, when she tried to bury hev heartaches under her household ca^es. She had lost her chance, llo was gone fore ever.

The two eldest girla were well married, in a neighboring city: Young Elizabeth and Jane wero the belles of the county, while Willio was away at college, and, report aaid, going to the dogs as fast as possible. No character is without a flaw, nnd Harriet Thompson was no exception to the rule. And everyone in said to have e hobby, which they ride. This was also true of Aunt Harriet, and her hobby was ridden* with nuob vigor that she almost went roughshod over everybody, and rode it to death. She was possessed by the devil of good housekeeping. After that momorabla night there had boen a change in the house. It bad been re juvenated from garret to oellar.

Tho deoiBiou is uufavorablo to tho olty oouuod. From tho exposition of tho rolatiu-, Mr, Gumsou, it rooms that ho ohjootH to tho Laurons cotton uull being exempted from taXatiou. (11 tho city council of Laurons, with It. J)iul, a* mayor, adohtod a reso lution that tho mayor ho authorised t<> draw up an ordinance exempting cot ton Luiila within tho corporate liuntn of Laurens from tlio paymcut of muni* oipal taXos for tho space of twolvo yonra. Similar ordinances havo boon adoptod in many towns iu tho State in order to attract n< -thorn capital. At tho timo this resolution was udopted, thero wftst no oottou mill in Laurous. Tho mayor fox* houio roanou did not draw up tho ordiuutioo. In 18U7 u'oot tou mill waa built in Laurous. Ao vet no municipal (ax has In^ou paid by that mill. It wus ut Jirot thought that tho mill had boon exempted from taxation by ordinance. lu tho apriug of au ordinauco was Adopted cancelling tho city tux upon this mill. On ocoouut of munioipal improvements tho tux for tho city of Laurens hud incroutied frcm 6 to 0 mills, Homo of tho taxpayers bewail to complain that the tuxes wore too heavy and that Lnuroos oottou millu should be mado to pay its pro rata, thus roduolug tho burden of tuo other taxpayers.

Tho first of these was the comp troller gouoral's action in regard to certain denominational aud charitable institutions in Columbia. Tina was followod by the decision of tho Stato supreme court in regard to the Laurent mills case. That decision indicates thit cotton mills caunot be exompted from munioipal assessment. It has boon brought to light that the attorney geu office, on I'ob. 1st, rendurod a similar decision iu regard to a petition of the Columbia Water Power Coin patty, which asked for au abatement of taxes for 1888 over and above the five mill Btato levy. The attorney general opines that tho tax should not be abat ed, as the act exempting this corpora tion is unconstitutional. Gen.
