In the (<M b.?mnl?1 tiii'os.
When the feudal lords bore sway,
There were hi^h ami low, and friend and foe,
As there are in th!.?, our day;
There were m'ui ines and fanes, i?nd swords and
cbairw*.
' Young maids, and old <ieu gray I
And the barons kept high state,
In their ancient castle halls,
And the warders ston; watched well without,
Lest foes should senle the walls;
And down far deep, in the donjon-keop,
Wore clmin'd the barons' thralla.
ti' And whenever these barons hold
Would swell their gulden hoards,
They (summoned their men from hill and glon,
And bared their bright broad-swords;
And the trumpet brayed, and the war-horse
neighed, -
And the minstrel swept his chorda,
fe" And the barons bold rode forth,
And the fray was fierre and long,
For with deadly blow* they smoto their foes,

\ MINNIE'S MISTAKE.
Malcolm Thome sat in the cars, bound for
Malvern, absorbed in a deep reverie, and a
pleasant one it was, too. He was a lover,
engaged alao, and he waa soon to lead hia
bride to the altar. He was now journeying
toward tho home of her who had filled, and
would fill, he hoped, in the happy yearn to
come, many of his hours with "silken splendor."
In it, then, to be wondered that his
thoughts, hi3 day-dreams were profoundly
delightful ?
"Malvern!" cried out the conductor.
The* conductor's announcement startled
hnn from his reverie.
"Here already," murmured Malcolm.
"Why, tho timo has passed very quickly."
He removed his satchel, caue, and umbrella
from the rack, vacated his Boat, and
when tho train stopped stepped off on to
the platform. A largo crowd was assembled
.it the station awaiting the arrival of
the train, for Malvern was quite a flourishing
town, and lie was making his way
through the concourse of people as rapidly
as ho could, when a pair of arms were
clasped around his neck, and a soft voice
whiepered:
"0, George! I'm so glad you've come;1'
* and then almost as suddenly added, "0, I
beg pardon, sir, I've made a great mistake,
bat the resemblance is wonderful."
Before tfie astonished Malcolm Thorne
could make a reply, the young female with
the fair, lovely face suffused with blushes,
had disappeared in tbo crowd, and was
quickly beyond his sight.
.,t>_ i,rt thought. "that youn^
"x> y uvic. ?v c, . _
woman must have tak?n mc for her lover>
whom, I suppose, she expected would come
by this train. Why, bless me, it's the funniest
adventure with which I've ever met."
The whole affair struck him as being entirely
ludicrous, and he stood still for a moment
and gavo vent to a hearty laugh.
He moved on again, got clcar of the;
Crowd, and then gaze 1 along tho platform,'
where a row of various sizes and styles of
vehicles were waiting to eonvey the arrivals
to different points in the town.
"Minnie promised to meet me here with
tho carriage, but I see neither her nor it.
Probably something has delayed her; at
any rate, I'll sit down and wait a few minutes
longer."
Ten minutes passed away, but neither
his lady-love nor tho vehicle appeared.
"She must be ill," ho murmured, glancing
at his watch; "but it's strange she did
not order the carriage to come for me, even
if she couldn't come hers ?lf.
He calleda cabman tohua. "Do you Know
whore Mr. Itangton resides?" he asked.
The man replied in the affirmative, and
Malcolm ordered him to drive there as
quickly as he could.
The vehiclo stopped in front of a stately,
handsome residence, aud Malcolm Thorns
6praiig out of the conveyance, walked rapidly
up the graveled walk to the door and
rang the bell, which was almost immediately
answered by a servant.
."Is Miss Rangton indisposed, or is there
any sickness in the family?" cried Malcolm.
"All are quite well, sir," replied the domestic,
"and Misa Ring tos cannot see you
and bado me givo you this note." She
thrust it into his hand, and then shut the
door, as the saying is, in his face.
Malcolm, bewildered and astonished,
stood there, making no movement, but
having the appearance of a person who is
not really awavo whether he is in his right
eensos or not.
"Cannot see me?" he at last admitted.
"What have I done to offend her? What
is the meaning of this strange action of
hers?" He sceiiioi to have forgotton the
dainty, pink-tinted missive which the servant
had given hi-n, but suddenly recoils;,,,,
;t. he tore open the envelope, and
?> - _
read these sarcastic iiiu*:
Ma. Thorns?Dear Sir:?"I waa not
aware, until quite recently, that your heart
was large enough to entcrt tin an affection
for two women at the same time. Such being
the case, I must decline the share of
love you have been wont to lavish upon
me, as, in affairs of the heart, 1 am very
selfish, and not for a moment could 1 think
of looking to a rival. Let all, henceforth,
that has passed between us bo forgotten.
? i ?.. th.-> whole wtaltb
X leave juu mv - _
of your elastic affcction upon whotnsoevei
you choose to honor in that way. Should
we chance to meet let it he as strangers:
for my vocabulary contains no rrord bj
which i can fully expre-s the scorn in
which I shall ever more re/urd yon."
I remain, very respectfully,
AIikkik Rangton.
"Good heavens! What is the meaning
ci {hit? lias her lovp for me departed
since I last saw her and been bestowed on
another, and is this the paltry manner in
which she seeks to rid herself of my com
pany and sevor the engagement? It is
one series of falsehood from beginning tc
end, and is plainly of her own coinage,
too !"
It is strange how quickly, when suspicion
is once aroused, people jump to conclusions,
v. .. be they true or false; and this is especiallj
the case when two of man's strongest passiohs,
love and jealous}', are at all concerned
in the matter.
At this juncture the cabman approached
Malcolm, who was excitedly pacing up and
, down tho verandah which surrounded the
house, and said:
"I'd like to have my fire, sir, for I musl
be off. I can't wait here all day unless you
pay me for waiting."
"You may remain, for I'll want you tc
take me back to the station, and I'll paj
you tor your time," replied Malcolm.
"All riyht. sir," said the man, going baci

I "1 will ?oc 1km !" cried Malcolm, "and '
wring1 the truth from her. Tlie meaning1
of this scandalous unto, in justice to my- j
self, must be explained before I leave Mai- j
vern!"
lie rang the bell, and again the servant!
made her appearance.
"Tell Miss Rangton that I must have a
few* minutes' conversation with her."
The servant departed to deliver the mes- ]
sage, and quickly came back with an an- j
! siver.
"Miss Kington desires me to inform you !
; that it is imposnible for her to graDt your I
request, and wishes you to cease annoying I
her with such solicitations, and to leave !
i .1: 1

"But alio shall speak with mo," cried the
now infuriated Malcolm.
"I was instructed not to admit you," and j
with that she shut the door in hie face, and
locked it also.
"She is afraid I'll force my way into the
house?as if I were some cowardly ruiiian
and not a gentleman. I will go, for I
J ri^lit to hare granted me. jls is n?ru, wij
j hard thougfe not knowing the cause, to
part in this w.iy from the woman you love.
Perhaps I may judgeher wrongly?perhaps
some persona-have slandered me in my absence,
and she has believed them. It is
possible, and yet she has not acted like a
woman who has been injured, but like one
who commits an injury. Well, she won't
see me, nor shall I try to force her again,
so I'll go from here, and, in time, I may
learn to forgot her."
He walked slowly, the picture of a griefstricken
man, down the graveled walk, but
j as he reached the gate, a lady approached
j it from the other side.
"ily dear Malcolm," she cried, "what is
I the matter ? You look as if some great mis
fortune had befallen you."
"And so there has. Mi's. Rangton. Read
this aud judge for yourself, and then explain
it if you can," he replied, handing
her Minnie's note.
"I really can't conjecture what has cans
ed her to write you in this fashion," said
Mrs. Rang ton, when she had perused the
missive. "This morning," she added.
"Minnie was looking joyfully forward to
your coming."
"And you don't doubt that my affection
for her is as great as it ever was, Mrs.
j Kington?" he asked, interrupting her.
j "i have had no cause for doubt, Malcolm,
j uor will I till I have full and sufficient
j {.roof. I am convinced that there is some
great mistake, hut what it is, I can neither
I s ly nor think."
"I hope it in ty prove nothing worse," he
jpplied, sa lly. "I sought an explanation of
j iior utrunge conduct, but sho would not
brant me an interview. Good-bye, Mrs.
! Ri-.ngton, for I must go, else I shall miss
j '.lie nest train. You may tell her that I

"Malcolm, you sli-.ll do nothing of the
kiad. 1 have known you since you were a
child, and I'm suit- you would not do anyj
tiling wron0' or unmanly. 1 have always
I placed as much faith in you as I have in
y Minnie, Malcolm; tm ivfore as you say yon
I cannot explain what lias caused her to take
this sudden dislike to jou, she herself must
do so, for your "satisfaction and mine. Come
| with me into the house; we have already
I delayed too lonjc. The sooner this matter
is cleared up, the better lor all parties concerned."
"My pride, Mrs. Ruigfon, will not permit
me to en*er until Minnie summons me
and I doubt if she ever will. Twice to-day
the door has bejn s'.ammed in my face, as
if I were some low character, and, unquestionably,
by your daughter's orders."
"I did not think she could act in such an
unladylike manner, one smut ueg juur
pardon for so doing," Said Mrs. Rangton,
iu her decided way. "Well, as you're resolved
to stand upon your dignity, like all
you foolish lovers?and you're all well
inat< Led in that respect, or there would be
more reconciliations and fewer broken engagements?just
remain where you are till
i return. I'll find out the why and the
wherefore of this matter, and be back again
in five minutes.
The stated time had scarcely elapsed before
jolly, resolute JIis. Rangton appeared.
"Why Malcolm, she's in her room sobbing
,;s if her heart were breaking. The silly
roature says that sue saw a woman kist
,iud embrace you at the depot to-day. I
gflbss she fell asleep in the carriage and
creamed it.
JJlaleuiio's gravity changed quite suddenly
to merriment, and it was with difficulty
that he manacrcd to say, "The woman call
cd me George, and, a3 I resembled her
lover, thought I was he, but she quickly
discovered her mistake."
Mrs. Eanytou had a keen appreciation
for the ludicrous, and 6he joined in Malcolm's
laughter.
"What's all this fuss about/' Baid the
cabman to himself. "If I didn't know it
; was Mr. Rangton's place, I should say it
i was a mad-house."
"Well," said Mrs. Rangton, "you'd better
pay and dismiss the hackman, and then
go in and forgive Minnie for acting so foolishly.''
Malcolm put his hand in bis pocket, but
found that his wallet was gone; and soon
; made the discovery that he was also minuB
hiB watch and chain.
"Mrs. Bangton, I've been robbed."
"Yes, Malcolm, and it was that very loving
woman who robbed you," said Mrs.
Ilangton, bursting into a hearty laugh.
''"Well, don't keep Minnie waiting any
[1 longer, but go to her, and I'll pay the cab
| man."
11 Malcolm did as he was bidden, and when
; Mrs. Rangton joined the lovers they were
j as smiling and happy aa any two aflectionj
ate mortals could bo.

A CAKT LOAD OF CASH.
Twenty-two years ago, as the story rurm,
Mr. Pendley was living at Sugar Kill, Ga.,
and was then engaged in gold mining with
Moses Lott. Lott had heard of a very rich
silver mine from John Lumpkin. Lumpkin
had heard of it from a Baptist preacher,
who lived near Carnesville; the preacher
had heard of it from a man who had
died near him, and who on his death-bed
had given the preacher a minute description
of the mine and its surroundings.
Lott told Pendley that the stranger on his
death-bed said that he and other South
Carolinians had come out among the In
dians hunting gold and silver ore; that
they crossed the Oconee at Hurricane
Shoals, proceeded along a well-known Indian
trail to the Chattahoochee, went down
the Chattaooochce to the mouth of a large
creek, and in hunting a place to cross,
vent up the creek some distance, where
two of the Carolinians?the stranger being
one?were captured by a company of
Spaniards, were carried at night some
four or five miles "south of the head of the
creek, and were put to work in a silver
mine during cacli night, and just before
day ~-they took the silver ore upon their
backs, went due^ .aouth from the mine five
miles to an island cohered*1rith an immense
swamp growth, and in the middle
of this island, in a rule sliop/they worked
ore and moulded the metal into Bilvor dollars
; that when the Indians found thorn
out they fdled up tho mine with timber
and dirt, l>uried as much aa a wagon load
silver dollars in the middle of the shop,
burned down the shop, released the two
South Carolinians, and left; that one of
the South Carolinians was lost, and that
the dying man was on his way home with
the groat secret, which he revealed to the
preacher on his death-bed.
With this account Jlr. Pendley sot out
in 1S53 to find the mine answering to the
description received. In 1855 he found an
old mine, exactly answering the doscr'P"
tion. It is situated five miles due south
of Suwannee crock, in Gwinnett ?ounty,
and the island is on Beaver Kuin creek,
five miles due "south of the mine. On the island
Mr. P. found cinders, Indian vessels and
? * - ? >- - j
implements, ana me noio m me KfWUUU<
which had been filled up by old Billy
Chamblee, who clearcd up the island, and
who testified to having found the hole
open. Mr. Pendley went to work on the
old mine, and continued until his small
capital was spent, when he suspended.
When again his means enabled him to renew
his labors, the war came on and forced
him to defer it. In 1S71 he resumed work
again alone, followed the old tunnel by
sinking shafts for nearly two hundred
feet, without finding anything except unmistakable
evidence of the old tunnel,
which was filled with leaves, brash, oak
post and timber. A few weeks ago he
reached the end of the old tunnel, and
found a vein of mineral ore one and a hall
feet thick and fifteen feet wide. Above it
there is a layer of white clay; beneath it
there is a hard yellow rock, and on each
side tliere is a wall of very hard, blue sandstone.
The ore consists of two layers, one
blueish, the other reddish brown; is very
soft?somewhat cohesive?and very heavy.
STAY WUEHK YOU ARK.
One of the greatest drawbacks to prosperity
is the restive, roving, and unsettled
spirit of the people. Each ono imagines
that there is an El Dorado somewhere, or
that some section is more prosperous than
his own, and that he must get to it before
he can accomplish anything. The idea
unsettles him, and if.hc does not "pull up'1
and migrate at once, he is forever thinking
about it, and neglects to improve his present
home :ind farm. The delusion has boon
wide spread since the war, and much individual
disaster has been the result. Tht
curse of Beubeu seems to rest upon th?
people.
It is a great mistake. Contentment if
the great secret of life. Old Horace struck
the right key when ho said: "Happiness
depends not upon pi ice nor climate, but
upon the state of one's mind.'* "Boiling
stones gather no moss," and the experiment
of selling out and moving, in the hope
of bettering the condition, often ends ir
bitter disappointment and iri-etrievablc
loss.
