Remember, Boys Make Men
When, you see a ragged urchin
Standing -wistful in the street,
Whb, torn hat and kneeless trowsers
.?irty lace and baro-red feet,
Fass not by the child unheeding :
Smile upon him. Mark me-whi
.He's grown he'll not forget it,
For, remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents
Do not ia your anger speak.
You must sow in youthful bosoms
Seeds of tender mercy ; then
Plants will grow and bear good frui
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen a grandsire,
Wita his eyes aglow with joy,
Bring to mind some act of Kindness
Something said io him-a boy? .
Or relate some slight or coldness,
With a brow all clouded, when,
Ho said they were too thoughtless
To remember boys make'men?
Let ns trv to add some pleasure
To the'life of every boy,
For each child needs^ tender interest
In its sorrow and its joy.
Call your boys home by its brightn
They avoid a gloomy den.
And seek for comfort elsewhere;
And remember, boys make men.
THE LADY ?FTH?TI?I

" THIS is the place, doctor-;
for God's sake, make haste, or.
shall he too late."
Witli these words, the rough la
ing man who summoned me, tl
open the door of a rickety leneu
house in a back Jane, and toge
we began to mount the crazy .sta
It was a horrible spot-filthy, (
and wretched-the abode of pov
and woe; and, a? we weat..np to
topmost story of the reeking bu
ing, I fairly,shuddered to. think
there existed human beings who 1
died together there aud called I
den a home !
The thousand and one clock
the city were tolling out the hou
midnight as we entered the sick ro
and stood in the presence of a woi
who I knew at a glance was dy in
starvation.
My profession had, in a measi
hardened me to such scenes, for I
been but two years a physician, ;
'the practice of a yoting uwdical fie
ling is, it is a known fact, gener;
among the lower classes, where w
and the evils which always follov
their track abound.
-The chamber, if the small cram]
apartment was worthy of so dignil
a name, was without a carpet, ?
contained by way of furniture o
two half broken ' chairs, the dil
bed on which the patient lay, am
small, unblacked, cheap cooking sto
The walls were dirty and smo"
and the sombre glare of a greasy i
oil lamp, with a chimney nearly i
scured by the accumulated soot
many weeks, cast but a feeble Iii
around.
I looked at the woman stretel
ont and nearly cold before me, a
as her closed eyes quivered wit]
faint but ineffectual attempt to op
when her dull ears caught the sout
of our coming, I shook my head.
The face of my conductor fell.
" Is she past hope ?" the man ask
anxiously, in a whisper.
I nodded affirmatively. .
'"I bought some brandy as I cai
to you," said the kindhearted fello
still in a whisper ; " wouldu't th
do some good?"
I reached out my hand for it ai
tasted it ; it was vile stuff-a nans
ous compound of crude whisky ai
adulterated cognac oil ; but it \v
the best sold in that neighborhood,
had strength-so I put the flask
the patient's lips, and forced a fe
drops down her throat.
She revived almost instantaneous
and opened her eyes wiidly.
" Where is it ? oh. where is it
she gasped faintly, and her pale, bot
fingers began a tremulous sean
about her neck.
I thought it w.-.s delirium, ai
waited silently. At.length she fas
ened on a gold chain that was aboi
her neck, one end of which was h?<
den away in her bosom.
A shade of relief passed over h<
worn countenance at .this snd drav
ing the portion that had been coi
cealcd into the light, she claspe
convulsively in both hands a sma
iron key that was attached to it, an
pressed it to her lips.
.' Thank heaven !" she murmur?e
as she did this, and glanced sharp!;
about the place. " New, when h
comes again he will not harm me !"
Immediately she grew strongei
and shortly she said, quite rational!)
but feebly
" You are a doctor ?"
" Yes," I said.
" Why is that other person wit'
you ?"
The man himself answered th i
. questson
" I am the owner ol' this house an
yow friend."
" My friend !" repeated the woma
in a low voice. My friend, sir!
had a husband, but he -vas no fri em
and he is dead-and I-I am dyin<.
too."
I tried to stop her from talking
bu#it was.of no avail, and she con
tinned
II Doetor, you are making efforts t
save me ; I know you are. Yoi
know the strength of a woman's will
Yes. Well, I have made up la]
mind to die, and I will not be baulk
ed. You ask me my reasons. Well
yoa shall have them-after I'm gone
They are written out in this pa pet
Promise me you will not break tin
peal until I am dead."
I promiseil ; and she drew a smal
packet, from under her pillow, ant
placed it in my hand?. Then, en
. tirely exhausted by the efforts sin
had made in speaking, the womat
closed her eye*, -'nd. alter a quid
gasp, ceased to breathe.
,My companion, provided with tin
necessary bertificate, sought HM un
d?rtaker, ahd 1 went home as speed i
ly ap possible, glad in my heart o
hear,ts that the woman was ut rest.
Once seated in my office, I brok*
the seal ot the packet, and read thc
following strange story
I have been a faithless wife ; but,
oh, how bitterly have I been pun
ished 1
I was a native of a far country-a
Russian. Here I was but a poverty
stricken and unhappy exile.
.Years ago'I was the young and
happy wife of the Duke of all the
Russians ! '
He was powerful and rich, and the
slave.of my beauty.
I loved him in return with all the
ardor of a passionate soul.
He'iad *taken me to his heart a
C' ia?t girl, and had raised me from
h, daily toil, to a proud coronet !
My' husband was forty years my
semor !
Yet, oh, how kind he was to me
tow fatherly I
We dwelt in tho country to the
south., and - the duke had a winter
palace at St, Petersburg.
At coilrt I was the cynosure of jill
i i^The more so, perhaps, because my I
.history was known. J
From a rude cabin I had- risen
palace.
But St. Petersburg-the gorg
capital-there it was-r-amid spier
almost like enchantments-that b"
fell upon me !
Theie, amid the. crowd of. wi
and gallantry that came to la
homage at my feet, I first savi
cause of all my woe..
There first burst upon my da:
vision Count Ivan, glorious in al
charms of opening manhood.
The peach-blossom of youth
upon his cheek, and the roman
love was'in his voice !
I o'vned his influence in my h
but shrank from it as an adder.
Yet, whenever he was near, I
conscious that new beauties, flu
into my face, and that strange
wonted sensations penetrated mj
som !
I scarcely ever dared ipenl;
look at him* but my furtive gla
revealed to me a terrible fact.
The Count. Ivan looked upoi
with languishing eyes.
Adonis himself never seemed i
lovely to impassioned Venus tha
did at times to me.
But I loved my husband tend?
devotedly, and thc thought of tre,
to him was madness.
. And I did not meditate treasoi
His passion for me still couth
as e.er, and was daily manifested
Jealousy was as remote fron:
great soul as lrom God himself,
hence, when gay noblemen, and 1
them the Count Ivan, were admir
ly about me, the duke was not <
pleased, but actually treated
homage; extended to me as in ;
tendered to himself.
I tried to shun the Count rva/i.
j My soul whispered danger to
. But the duke was partial to
! youth.
He told him, while I shudde:
that his doors were ever open to I
I could not waru my. husband.
I could not tell lum my fears.
And I wept alone.
' Meanwhile the Count Ivan was
most always near me, and each i
grew mote ardent and more opel
his passiou.
I could not fail to understand 1
now. . .
At last the crisis came !
And Fate-humble and grim F
-wrote in it's awful book the full
1 ment of my destiny !
One evening I was left alone w
my Inver.
We were at St. Petersburg, I
the duke was absent somewhere, bi
ed with the affairs of his vast esh
It was the gay winter seasou, ?
the frozen snow that night was al
with the tinkling bells.
I was alone with Count Ivan
the great reception chamber of 1
palace.
He was sitting beside me on
divan, the fed velvet covering
which was but pale compared to I
crimson Hush that was on my chee
"We spoke in low whispers.
We talked of love.
God ! the delirium of delight I <
perienced.
He drifted back to the regions
classic iV: ble.
He spoke of the amours of t
divinities of Mount Olympus.
?Ab, so glowingly, so passionate
he spoke !
I listened, I hung upon his brea
enraptured-enthralled !
The dark angels that were battli.
for my soul held victory balanced
their hands.
I was afraid. .
I trembled.
I almost wept.
The Count Ivan looked into n
eyes and seemed lo read my vei
soul !
1 shook Hire a leaf.
I buried my fae in my hands.
Suddenly the Count Ivan eluspt
me in hi- aims, and, iniprin ing
burning kiss uj>on my lips, drew m
head upon his shoulder.
.' Mine now, forever I"
But suddenly, oh, horror ! I he^r
the well known voice of the duli
upon the stair outside.
Tiie Count ivan i-p'-ang to his fee
and in a second I thrust him into
large wardrobe, and was ju^t turnio
the key when my husband entere
and stood belbie, me. He was pal
as the face of a corpse. Great di.?
torted purple veins stood out on hi
torehead, and bis .lips were twitdhin
with a terrible convulsive motion !
He knew all *
We had been betrayed !
He spoke nu word whatever, bn
went silently to the wardrobe am
turned the key I had left sticking i
the lock in my fright, twice, and the:
withdrew it and put it. in his pocket
Then for the first time he spoke.
He simply said- *
" Follow me !"
More .dead than alive, I obeyed
and we went down the stairs and ou
into the bitter, biting air.
A traveling brit/.ka stood waitin?
near the place.
I was hurried into it, and after ?
few words to the coachman, the duk
turned to me and ^rave me the key.
"Keep this," said he ; " I must gi
back ; I have forgotten something!"
He disappeared in the darkness
and was absent perhaps ten minute.1:
when he returned ar?d got into th
carriage by my side.
We moved slowly away, and as wi
went, my husband, pointing from tin
coach window, uttered-*-;
'. Luok there !"
I looked, and 0, God! the palaci
we had just left was a sheet ol' dame
And tiie Count Ivan was peri sh i iii
there locked in the wardrobe ol whiol
? had the key !
With a wild, heart-broken cry, J
fell back in a swoon, and lay 1 know
irot huw long. When I revived I
was alone in the britzka. 1 felt i
weight about my neck.
I touched it.
It was a massive gold chain !
Attached to it was the key ol thal
fatal wardrobe ! The chain wai
riveted to its place, and I could :io?
remove it.
A second time I swooned.
When I again recovered I was in a
compartment of a railway carriage.
Tue coachman was with me.
I inquired pur destination.
" Paris," he said.
I In due course we arrived, and I was
taken to a set of furnished apart
ments, where I was left. . I determined
at once on suicide, and was about to
carry my project into immediate exe
cution, with the aid of a small pock
et-knife I had in my possession, when
my hand was arrested by my hus
band, who at that moment' entered
the chamber. '
He bouuft me by the most terrible
oaths never to make the attempt
again while he lived, under pain that,
il I violated the compact, he would
instantly publ^'i my shame and
bring dishonor upon my family I
I'was thus forced sorrowfully to
live on and to submit to his visits,
which took place regularly each
month. j
His love for .me was changed into
intense and hitler hate, and his high
est pleasure each visit was .to recount
minutely tamfe all the circumstances
of my treachery-;to him, all the events
of that awful night in St. Petersburg.
He made ^ne swear to wear the
chain and key to. my dying hour !
This lasted for twenty long years,
during the course of which he never
once failed to appear promptly at the
appointed time.
At last the welcome tidings of his
death reached me. and I came to
London to carry ont my cherished
design of putting an end to my woes.
I have taken this obscure apart
ment with the view of effecting my
design by starvation I
. The total omission of names and
clues is intentional !
I do not wish to bring further dis
grace upon my husband's family or
my own !
Daylight was peening in through
the blinds pf my study window^when
I finished reading this strange narra
tion.
"Was it the wild outpouring of a
lunatic s bram, or was it a sober,
truthful ?
At all events, I myself had seen
the chain and key.
However, as ? myself could not
judge of its falsity or verity, I have
determined to publish the narrative
in full as it camp into my possession,
with my own experience as connected
with it. and I hope that its readers,
if with them when they have perused
ii, it may lack confirmation, will, at
least find a. touch of -melancholy in
terest in THE LADY of THE KEY.
Life's Brightest Hour.
Not Jong Bince I met a gentleman
who is assessed foi- more than a juill -
ion. Silver was in his hair, care up
on his brow, and he stooped beneath
his burden of wealth. We were
speaking of that period of life when
he had realized the most perfect en
joyment, or, rather, when he had
lound the happiness Dearest, to be un
alloyed. " I'll tell you," ' said the
millionaire, " when was the happiest
hour of my lile. At the age of one
and-twenty I haij saved up. $&00. I
was earning $500 a year, aud my
father did not take it from me, only
required that I should pay for my
board. At the age of twenty-two I
had secured a pretty cottage, just out
side of the city ; 1 y as able to pay
two-thirds of the value down, and
also to furnish it respectably'. ' I was
married on Sunday-a Sunday in
June-at my fathers house. My
wife had come to me poor in purse,
but rich in the wealth of her wo
manhood. The Sabbath and the Sab
bath night we passed beneath my
father's roof, and en Monday morn
ing I went to my work, leaving my
mother and sister to help in prepar
ing my home. On Monday evening
when the labors of the day were
done, I went hot to the paternal shel
ter, as in the past, but to my own
house,-my own home. The holy
atmosphere of that hour seems to
surround me even now in the memory.
I opened the door of my cottage and
entered. I laid my hat upon the lit
tle stand in the hall, and passed on
into the kitchen-our kitchen and
dining-room were all one then. I
pushed open the kitchen door and
was-in Heaven ! The table was set
against the wall-the evening meal
. was ready-prepared by the hands
of her who had come lo be my help
meet in deed as well as in name
and by the table, with a throbbing,
expectant look upon her lovely and
loving laue stood my wife. 1 tried to
speak, but could n??t. 1 could only
clasp the.waiti:ig?atigel t<> my bos 'in,
thus showing to lier the ecstatic bin
den of my heui t. The years have
passed- otig, long yvaTtt-and world
ly wealth has hV.Ved in upon tin-, and
I am honored and envied; but, us
true as ben wu, 1 Would give ir. .-ill
every dollar-?- f?-r the joy ol the Lour
of mut June evening in the l?ng,
long ago."-New Yuri: Ledger.
oh-i. but (itmd. .
A countryman was in New York
oir?n Augu-t Sunday, and- cross-d
tho Brooklyn fewy in the morning,
for the purpose of hearing Beecher.'
But lo, the Plymouth pulpit, was oc:
cirpied by a si ranger, who delivered
a tedious, couimoh-phice sermon from
the text :*' And behold Simon s wile s
mother lay sick of a fever."' Mr.
Beecher was away taking his vaca
tion.
In the afternoon the man sought to
console himself Xor his morning's dis
appointment by listening to li. II.
Chanin. He was shown to a front
seat by the sexton of E. H. Chapitra
church, and in due time WHS horr.lied
to see the minister, of the morning
appear in the pulpit. The po?>r vic
tim heard, for the second time, the
sermon from the text : " And behold
Simon's wife's, mother lay sick of a
fever," and went out of the sacred
place very much discouraged. Mr.
Chopin was taking his summi-r vaca
tion.
In the evening the man, thinking
to redeem, in a measure, the defeat
of the day, accepted a choice sitting
in the Reformed Dutch Church, lor
the sake of hearing the genial, elo
quent and scholarly. Bethuue. But
his Ijeart.quite broke when the evil
spirit that had possessed him all day
got up and .gave out a hymn. And
when the text was announced. " And
behold Simon's wile'x motlier lay sick
of a lever," the party who knew all
about the subject, rushed wildly from
the over-lose, and ran to his hotel.
Dr. Bethune was taking Iris summer
vacation.
The next morning lim man took
. the first train for home, and stepping
into the car there was his ministerial
friend of the day before, willi his
sermon under Ins aim. Thu New
York bells were ringing a lire alarm,<
and says the minister to his lay broth
er, " Frieml,?do you know what those
bells are tolling for?" Says the coun
tryman, looking hard at the sermon,
"I don't know, but I shouldn't won
der if Simon's wife's mother was
dead. I heard three times yesterday
that she was down with a'fever."
JUST ALIKE.-A stuttering man
at a public table, had occasion to use
a pepper box. After shaking it with
all due vengeance, and turning it in
various ways, he found that the pep
per was in no wise inclined t? come
forth :
. .'T-tb this pep-per box, 'he1 exclaim
ed, with a sagacious grin; 'is so-some
thing like myself.'
'Why ?' asked a neighbor.
P'-poor-poor delivery,' he replied.

AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE SECOND YEAR we offer our
thanks for the cordial ?ud gratifying marks of encouragement and approval
which our first year's business has received. It was .conceived and started
under the conviction that there was ample room in Augusta for a FIRST

own interest. We found they were pr*npt to welcome the appearance of
such a house, devoted entirely to the business. We have earnestly labored
to meet their expectation, and we cordially state, as.-.flattering as were our

The greatly advantageous feature of the Brooklyn in endorsing the Sur
renda- Values upon it? Policies, in Dollars and Cents, for ten consecutive
years, has met with unqualified praise from the most celebrated American
Actuaries, tvs also from the Press, East, North and South.
The Hon. Elizur Wright, who is admitted to be the greatest Insurance
Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn
upon this new and distinctive feature, says, among other things, " I am
particularly pleased by your departure in the right'direction from the
ordinary method of computhig the Surrender- Values." ''One of the great
est drawbacks to the popularity of Life Insurance, has been the disap
pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness
of the surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented
by a distinct statement on the Policy, in advance, of the sum tb be paid."
This statement, it will be Been, The Brooklyn makes in dollars and
cents, so that there can be no mistake.
Read Wbat Southern Papers Sky of This Feature :
Thc Sentinel, {Raleigh, tforlh Carolina,) Jan. 27, 1869.-44flus great
j feature of cash surrender- values is ,an improvement that signalizes the era
in Life Insurance." $ R
Sun, (Columbus, Qebrria.)-"There is-no better Company in th? land;
a comparison with other corporations of a similar character, will convince
all of the superior safety in taking aisles with The Brooklyn Life."
fispatch, (St.. Louis, Me.,) Jan. 7, 1869.-" A Policy in The Brooklyn
Life is thus worth so much tn ready money. This is the only Life Oom
\pany in the country that has carried this excellent feature (of endorsing
the cash surrender values in dollars and cents,) into its business." "Pol
icy holders being doubly assured, the system cannot flail *to become very
popular." .
It will be seen that \ye assert nothing in the above advertisement, but
make a simple ctatement of the .superio-r advantages cf The Brooklyn, as it
appears from disinterested parties*
