STARTLING NARRATIVE'1 ac OF REAL LIFE. hi ch BY ANNIE ROBERTS. w; 1do I was on a visit to Columbus,'.., Mississippi. I had four or five TI friends there, schoolmates of minc; Sb for in those days we Soutborners le, used to form parties, and a num- It ber of us leave our homes. and go bo together to the far North to be educated. A great mistake I have sC since thought ; fur I have had oe rasion often to regret not having he received irstructiou in my own mi State. of A t the time of which I write, I to was at The house of my most inti Inate friend, Sue Long. co Sh was lovely in di:;position, ro not remarkably beautiful: but I T1 never saw any one with so sweet a Lhce. fel 11er skin was purely white. and of ber eyes a dark gray that many so mistook for black, because of ihe eri ong dark lashes veiling them. She had always a beautiful color wi inO looked healthy yet, I don't, :now why, she never seemed wi trong to me. At school, I have seen her treni- an )le and grow pale at little inci- ou ients that scarcely affected me. rhat very nervous weakness, so sai )pposed to my strength of nerve, m1deared her to me, and I came to Le vatch over her as if she were a ounger sister. re I had been spending the winter in. ,vith her, and it had been such a fat Jappy one. IP One evening she came into my up ,om just as I ivas getting ready an or a party ; she held a note in 3er hand, and her face was so hastly that I thought she was ed I1. She seemed perfectly unnerved, T i ind without a word dropped in a an hair, near the bureau, where I vas standing. on "Sue, what is the matter ?" I on aid at last. sh She put her hands to her face, and wept aloud; but calming her- be self, she sobbed: m: "Oh, Lucy, poor Lilly is dead !" Lc I uttered an exclamation of hor-. ror. "It can't be ! It can't be! in, We only saw her this morning, . rnd she was perfectly well." st: "Yes, but a few minutes after fb ve left she was taken ill, and died fri 1bout an hour ago. Read the m< note." I took it and read a short state. Cc menit of what she had told me. is We %Nept together; forLilly was inl ur schoolmate and dear friend. eri She was the only daughter of >ne of the wealthiest men in Co lumbus; her disposition so kind Cl Lnd amiable, that she was petted w ind caressed by all. do I had never lost a friend befure, hai nor had Sue ; and we felt this be- th reavement most terribly. M I put off my party dress withI lef the saddest heart I had ever know n. wC and later in the evening we went ml around to the house of mourning. w~ She had been laid out in the se: parlor, and there we went to look sa at her. mg Two evenings before, we had wi danced on the spot where the still o orm of the dlead now lay. sti "Sweet fiower! cut off while you ot yet budded new !" s She was the m st life-like corpse wv I have ever seen. A smile rested w on her countenance and her skin th still retained a slight roseate hue. wV: We sat up with he'- several se nights. On Friday she was to be of buried ; but her father's grief was n so heart-renmding, and she still re- g. mained so life-like, that at his ci: earnest request she was kept so'me th lays longer. dh. At first we had many friends to be share our nightly vigils; but the thm last nmght all were tired out, and an~ only two others besides Sue and iq1 myself remained, Is ~We were much fatigued and is very sad ; for the next day Lilly ch was to be consigned to the tomb, 1s and we had hoped we hardly knew sel what. ev T wo hours passed slowly. There were two parlors, with folding doors betwveen them. They were w handsomely furnished ; th~e most bu luxurious velvet earpet, chairs, so- sa as, and mirrors of rare value.- be The body was in the front parlor, l) resting on a bier, in the middle of P( the room, lengthwise between one an of the mirrors and the folding- in doors. Gn each side of this mir- th ror wvere candles. We sat in the er,m mdjoining room, and several times nc iuring the night, two of us, to- be wether. went in and snuffed the am landles. to About twelve o'clock this night, p) the other two girls complainedofa headache, and laid down to get a to ittle sleep, so only Sue and I were po left. a Some hours afterward, Sue said . o me, wearily : i "I feel a perfect horror creeping he ver me. The sight of poor Lilly fif spires me with tenror." o '-Yes," I replied, "I feel wretch ~dly, too; but I attribute it to the oss of sleep, and our long and te-t W :jious watch over our friend." be As Sue passed me to go into the ter next room to snuff the candle, she th eompany her. Would that I .d But I was reclining in my air, and, in a half-dreamy state, i.ching her as she unfolded the . ors and entered the next room. m i sat I could see everythin. r ecre were six candles, I think. h c went from one to the other, a tving the two in the mirror vid. at the head of the dead t1 dy. for the last. b Sue trembled so that she could t1 ireely accomplish her task. p I saw her resolutely turn ler e ad away as ihe approached the p 1rr01; but as she stood in front u it, some fleling prompted her glance up. U I was wide awake now; and I a ald see the reflection of her ter- t] r-stricken face, and-great God! te Cor1P.Se Vas m1ovig! First one hand was raised, then I ; theln the other; then one of ti the limbs, and the body became in colivuilsed that the drapery cov- a llg it, Fell to the floor. - 0 Sue had seen it all in the glass 1) thout a word, her face stony.

CHAITY.-We .re told in the n Lssie history that an old painter n is employed to sketch the Mace nian emperor. The emperor r d received a severe wound upon b e right temple, in one of his fit ms battlns, and a large scar wVas f 't. The artist proceeded to the k rk assigned him, sketched the a mtar'ch leaning upon his elbow, tl th his forefinger cov ering the t( r. His ingenuity was uniiver Ily appliaudled and lie becamte ' re lamed than ever. So it is tl th genuine charity, which "cor'- n athI a multitude of sins.'"

"If there is a sprightly lad in [onroe who can read and spell eli, and wants a trade that will -nder him, as a man, independent, u can find a permanent situation this office." The above little notice, from ie Monroe Telegrap4, forcibly rings to our mind the antipathy at the generality of Southern 'ople have to teaching their ildrenl useful occupations and rotessions.

We clip from the Southern Iome the following account of bow citi zens of North Carolina are (1rg ged from their homes and carried hundreds of miles to be tried be fore a United States Judge for alleged violations of the infaonus Ku Klux laws: A SHAFFUL SwI.-On the 9th instant, ninety quiet, respec table fatrmers of Rutherftrd, Cleve land and Lincoln Counties were marched throngh our streets by the lowest and vilest of dirty United States marshals, and placed on the Raleigh train to attend the United States Court. Some of the prisoners were carrying their bed clothes strapped en their backs, because too pour to pay hotel bills; some were accompained by their wives ; some had their friends and neighbors, &c. The cntire crowd amounted to 200 persons, all torn from their homes to be dragged 300 miles to attend a court, which, but for malice, might have been held wittin a few miles of tLe homes of the prisoners. Gangs of negroes followed the prisoners to the depot, jeering, taunting and laughingat them. Here the in suits became more provoking, and cries went up from the excited mob, "Damn de Ku Klux," "Hang de ltst one of dem," "IDey gwine to ketch hell now," &c. Insults heaped upon an unhappy people by ignorant savages; men forcibly taken from the farms and tried by negro juries and on negro testiniony convicted of oflences wh;ch they never committed ; the best people of the State sentenced to the penitentiary ; universal terror reigning over the land ; a mockery ofjustice in the Irums of the law. What a foul and blackened picture ! What a com mentary on the slogan, "Let us have peace," these scenes are! ':be Richmond Enquircr, in an able editorial, compares the situa tion to that in England, when the brutal Judge Jeffrevs condemned men to death by the scores. The historian, writing of those days, remarks that Jeftreys -showed the people that the rigors of the law might equal, if not exceed, the ravings of military tyranny." Judg,e Bond seems determined to exeniplify to the people of North Carolina that the remark is fully true, and lead them to think that between military courts martial and United States Courts, there is but little choicc.-Azusta Con stetutionali. Bachelor's Kitchen. This game was probably insti tuted by a person who understood fully just what kind of people bachelors are-and of how much they stand in need of just this kind of help. The id sa of a bach elor' furinishing his kitchen him self! Oh he couldn't do it, anid a good manmy times if he could he wouldn't; so kind pe'ople3 who tun derstand the appreciative hearts of bacheiors must do this for him. and the best way of doing it is illustrated in the followinig little game-which we describe to you as we saw it pla~yed a short time ago: The company all stood in a circle, and one was chosen to put questions. Hie wvent round and asked every one what gift he or shc wvould contribute to funiish a bachelor's kitchen. One said a b)ox, another a chair, anothet a stove, another a tea-kettle, and so on. Hie then wvent round again an d asked several quest ions. Each one was to answer every question by repeating the first word named, and do so withbout laughing. If any one laughed he wvas counted out of the ring. One grave young man, who I ad named a tea-kettle as his gift, it was thought, would maintain his gravity. The fol lowing was the result : "What did you say you would give the bachelor ?" '"A tea.kattle"- W hat do you boil your p)otatoes in ?" 'A tea-kettl"-' Wuat dho you feed your pigs in ?" "A tea-kettle" "W hat do you eat out of?" "A tea kettle"---~What do you catch fish ini ?" "A tea-kettle." "What do you ride to town on ?"- A tea kettle." Of course a general roar of laughter followed here, in which the questioned party joined ar.d was counted out. QUonN BIsCCrr.-A new diet ary article has been introduced by the London bakers, ini the shape of quinine biscuits. They arej small, extremely wvell made, aId? have a pleasant and delicately bit ter flavor. Each biscuit is esti mated to contain one-fourth of a grain of quinine, and for delicate stomachs, or wvhere it is desirable to disguise medicine as much as possible, or to combine f'ood with medicine in a perfetly agreeable form, these biscuits are likely to become very popular. There would be no evil speak ers if there were no evil hearers. It is in scandal as in robbery, the re-cw., as a bad as the thief. Mother's Kiss. George Brown wanted to go somewhere and his mother was not willing. le tried to argue the matter. When that would not do he spoke roughly, and went off, slamming the door behind hiun. Instead of saving, "I should really like to go, but it you cannot give your consent, dear mother, I will try to do my best to be con tenit to stay"-instead ->f* sayillgI and feeling so, he 66hared in the way I have decribed, just as to'' many boys do. George was four teen, and with fourteen years' experience of one of the best of mothers one would have thought better of him. But he was a boy. What can you es peet of boys ? Sc say some peo Pi)e. Stop; hear more. That night Corge found thorns in his pil;ow. Ile could not fix any way to go to sle(tp onl. Ile turned and tossed. and he shook and patted it, but not a wink of sleep for him. The thorns kept prieking. They were the angry words he spoke to his miother, who deserves notling but kindness and love and obedience fironi me." he said to himself. "I can never do enough for her ; yet how have I behaved-her eldesi boy ! How she nursed me through that fever !" IIe ,vould ask her to forgive him in the morning. But suppose something should happen before moi-ing. IIe would ask her row -to-night-this moment. George crept out of his bed and went soft ly to his mother's room. "George," she said, is that you ? Are you sick ?" for mothers, you know, seem to sleep with one ear open, especially when the fathers are away, as George's father was. "Dear mother," he said, kneel ing at the bedside, "I could n<t sleep for thinking of my rude words to you. Forgive me noth Or, and may God help me never to behave so again." She clasped the penitent boy in her arms and kissed his warm cheek. George is a big mai now, but he says that kisi was the swec test nioent of his life. His strong. healthy, imperious nature became tenl)ered by a gen tleness of spirit. It softened his roughness, sweetened his temper, and helped him to a true and Christian man hood. Boys are sometimes ashamed to act out their best feelings. Oh, if they only knew what a loss it is to them not to!-Vother's Jaga An Arab Prince on the Wife Question. A writer in the Cornhill 1aga :jnic has had an interview with an Arab Prince, and gives the follow ing as his views on the woman question: English women think of them selves. al ways think of them selves. think vy* much of themselves, think very little of their husbands; so they are disobedient. self-willed.I 'ho what they like, and will not do what their husbands like.: But Arab women thiink more ofI their husbands thain themselves; they live to please their husbands; they are obedient ; they are much bet ter than English wvomen ; a man may do with them just as he< pleases. Suppose she shouldJ dis-i obey him-what does he ? HeL says to her: "By Allah! I wil leave y-ou." And if she disobey edl him three times, and I.e sas that three times. she is no longer < his wife; she must go back to her father's house. But suppose an: Englishman marry a woman, andfl she proves to have a very bad temper and disobey him always: a very hot tongue, and scold all day and night too ; lead him a devil of a life ; make himn sweati very much with trouble, make I him wish to kill himself-what can he do? Ile can do nothing be imust keep her, and must n t take any other woman to wife to comifort him. Ah! the Arab cus torn is better tha~n the English1 c'ustom ; and the Arab women are hetter for the rian than the Eag lish women. I am sure of that.
