There was gossiping by 1 the roadside and over early tea tables. Innumerable voices had uttered the exclamations, 'Do tell' and 'I want to know!' but all that had happened was the quietest wedding possible. Two people in their Sunday clothes, accompanied by two friends also arrayed in their best, had walked over to the church, and there the minister had pro nounced them man and wife. Even at Painsted people some times married, and many more important persons had been made one, than Sally Corkindahl and Simon Wheeler; but somehow Painsted was excited. Sally Corkindahl was a young woman of thirty, without beauty, but wonderfully neat and indus trious. Ever since her fifteenth birth day sbe had gone about from house to house making dresses and children's clothes, known everywhere as a good, pious young woman, but never considered at tractive. Her work was good and slow. In the course of these fifteen years she had laid by fifty pounds. She always had a black alpaca, a clean linen collar, and a checked apron ; but whether they were the same or were occasionally re newed, no one could tell. Simon Wheeler was a very pret Ly young man of four-and-twenty, with light hair and big blue eyes. Since he left school he had nev er been known to do anything but set on his Aunt Whbeeler's door step and look at the newspaper-ac tually 'look' at, it-he never read it. As soon %s it arrived he would seize upon it, turn to a special corner and look at it. What he stared at, though this was known only to himself, was a small advertisement which occu pied the same position in that particular paper from one year's end to the other, and which was headed : 'Great Gumbo Lottery ! Capital Prize, Fifty Thousand Pounds. Tickets, one pound each.' SWhen the day of the drawing came, and a little list of numbers was to be seen below this adver tisement Simon looked longer and was often observed to sigh. SNot however, because he had in vested his money in tickets and lost, but because he had none to invest. Aunt Wheeler was not too generous. 'i'll keep you till you can keep yourself;' she often said, 'but I shan't have my money wasted on cigars and wine. You're better off without none.' Simon neither desired wine 01 cigars, nor any other luxury o: ; dissipated youth ; but if he coult have had the price of a lottery ticket without working for it, he would have rejoiced. Iu his early boybood he had dreamed that be had drawn e lucky number. He believed ii dreams-that dream in particu lar. It had the effect upon him tha - having his name in a will has up on many a young man. SHo saw no need of learning ttrade, of go3ing into a shop or set ting himself to earn his brea< -anywhere or in aniy manner. With his first pound he wnuli buy a lottery ticket, draw th fifty thousand prize, reimburse hi aunt for all that she had expend ed upon him, be very jolly an generous to everybody, and 'liv luxuriously every day,' like th town mouse in the stable. One afternoon as he saunterei in, sleepy-eyed and dreamy, h found Sally Corkindahl at the tee table. She had been sewing for hi aunt all the afternoon. Meanwhile he also had beei very busy. He had found an imaginar; pound, bought a ticket, draw, the prize, and bestowed upon hi aunt a little carriage, two cream colored horses and a black sill dress. Her delight over the r.nexpectei present and wonderful news hai kept him from opening the can ned fruit as he had promised ti do. - Mrs. Wheeler, who knew noth ing of this fine waking dream, de sired to scold him. However, Sally's presenee pre vented her from doing so. Sb< contented herself with a talk a him over the dress maker's shoul der. She praised the girl's industry her prudence, her economy. 'That's the way to get on,' sha said-'that's the spirit I like. In dependent from the time you los your parents, and making littl savings all the while. Don't say 'only fifty pounds.' Every littli makes a nickel, I've heard ml grandmother say. Many a on that has earned double you money hasn't saved a penny.' Simon listened. 'Fifty pounds !' said he to him self. 'Why don't she buy a lot tery ticket, draw a prize, and stol sewing? I would.' He looked earnestly at Sally The color came into her thir cheeks. She was not often the object o such intent regard. Could it be that this young rnan admired her ? Sally Corkindahl felt sure tha this was so when Simon offere< to see her home that evening That was the beginning of it. The end was that wedding whbich had awakened such aston isbmnent at Painsted. The wonder that industrionu Sally Corkindahl had married eucl an idle fel!ow, who certainl: could not take care of her, wa only matched by the wonder tha handsome Simon Wheeler ha< married that plain, utterly unat tractive Sally Corkindahl. Mrs. Wheeler resented it high ly. 'Since you've chosen a commoi seamstress, and married her with out a hint to me, you can tak< care of her,' she said : 'I won't.' So Simon had sanutered over t< the one room which Sally bired with his portmanteau in one hant and an um brella in thbe othber ; an< Salty still wvent out to work, whil Simon sat at the window an looked at his paper. He had told her he expected t come into a fortune, and she re ceived his statement with tb credulity of love, and was conten to pinch and toil in the mean time. She had placed her savings bool in his hands. All she had was his by the law of her love, and before their wec ding-day was over Simon ha bought his first ticket. It was that that made his hoar beat so wildly, not the touch c her honest hand upon his own a she met him in the gloaming; bt he said to himself. 'There shan be any more drudgery for Saill when I draw the capital prize.' There are twelve months in th year ; each month the great Gun bo Lottery had a drawing-eac month Simon Wheeler bought ticket and drew a blank. Sally knew nothing of it. ~The anniversary of their wel ding came. On that day Simc bought two tickets, and in dt course of time dre w two blanks. - He was always kind to his wif forever talked of his expectation and praised her industry ; forevi lookred at t he panne, nd maden li e tie sums in lead pencil on Sally's ea s pine table. ca !- At the end of two years Sally do I began to feel a little anxious. at e the end of three a little weary, at e the end of four alarmed. sp Forty-eight months had passed if I 'by, forty-eight drawings had been so e made by the Gumbo Lottery, and t. forty-eight blanks had been drawn tic by Simon. 98 s One day he made his purchase an with trepidation, and returned a home trembling; he had spent the ws last pound of his poor wife's hoard! mi ' He had bought his fiftieth ticket! 3 in the Gumbo, and for the first bo s time his heart failed him ; he had - always expected a prize before, ful r now he only looked for a blank. Si' He went into his small room. i Sally sat at her table sewing. She : I looked up as Simon entered, and - her eyes filled with tears. Inj > 'Husband,' she said, 'I've got to ask you about the bank book. I en - hoped to let the money lie and be - then add to it. You've got it safe, th I suppose.' sui - 'Yes, the book is safe,' said Si mon, with a dreary expression. wa t 'I'd like to see it, if you don't de: - mind,' said poor Sally. 'It seems ble as if it would be a sort of comfort.' stO Simon took the book from his as pocket and handed it to her. on 3 She opened it and glanced at it. bu - Then her face flushed and she ch t began to cry. 3 'Don't !' said Simon. 'Don't, wa Sally !-don't cry. I meant it for tel 3 the best.' r 'If you needed it, you were wel- sb 3 come. It belonged to you as ita r much as to me,' said Sally ; 'but th' you might have mentioned it. to I'd have been prepared.' 'I was so sure,' said Simon. 'So "e - sure.' an 3 'So sure of what ?' asked Sally. th 'Of the fifty thousand pounds,' so - said Simon; 'I expected it long an ago.' mi 'You've never told me what you f expected it from,' said Sally. 'Do you ever thbink it will be left to you? SWas it your father's money ? If you'd tell me I could think it Sover. What was it? You wouldn't Ideceive me, and you are not crazy; ;n -but I can't think what you mean by expecting fitty thousand pounds. SAnd, oh, I am so worried, Simon!' - saidhasimnit may come yet, Sally' a He took his handkerchief from I his pocket as he spoke and wiped p h is wife's eyes with it. 3 As he did so a bit of yellow t paper fell into her lap-the lasta I Gumbo Lottery ticket, bought -but an hoar before. She caught at it and her face - flushed again. She looked at her husband with the gleam of anger 1 in her eyes, and cried out, sharp -ly: 3 'Is tbis it ? Is this the secret~-s the fortune you've talked of? SAre you crazy enough for this ? th Have you been buying tickets Sin that cheating lottery all these years, and is my last pound, that SI see you have drawn from the th Sbank to-day, spent for that thing?' Poor Simon! He stared at his an 3 wife for a long time without an - s wering ; thben he said, slo wly : sa e 'Think of it-forty-nine blanks, t and every time I expected a prize as - -the capital prize. Thbink of my disappointment!' ha C 'I can't think of anything ex cept that I've married a fool,' said s Sally. 'I could kill myself when I think of it. I believe you mar- o rined me to get that fifty pounds to gamble with.' t Then she began to cry. f Yes, I've been a fool,' he said Ei s 'but though the money made me bt t think of asking you to have me, I tmeant to make you rich. I did, Y Sally ; I vow I did. We've got along very well, haven't we ? 1 e tbink a great deal of' you. I i- meant to do everything for you;t h but it.'s all over now. I look attl a that ticket, and I know it's a blank. I should never buy another never, never ! Y2u see, that dream I 1 -1 told you once of my dream n appeared as if it~ must come true-; e but my luck is bad, I see that b~ ar e, 'Luck !' cried Sally, stung by re s, sen tment. 'Luck ! Oh, get out er of my sight ! Pick up that ticket am t- t:.t Von've 51nent me last hard- I rned pound on, and go where I n't see you for a little while. I'm going, Sally !' said Simon. IIe stepped towards her as he Dke. He would have kissed her she had permitted him to do Then he picked ap the yellow ket, read the number aloud 39-crammed it into his pocket, t d sauntered away. At six o'clock that evening there ?s a little crowd beside the 11 dam. [t was fast increasing, for a dy had been taken out of the ter with a pocket handkerchief I of stones about the neck; non Wheeler's body. EIe had drowned himself in less in half an hour after he bad .lked so leisurely away from bis ured Sally's presence. They; found in his pocket an ipty purse, a little list of num es, and a yellow ticket soaked rough, but still bearing on its face the figures 9889. sally would have known what it s but she never saw it, or the d face that looked into its mar whitness like some beautiful .tue, for she lay upon her pillow white as he, with her little baby her bosom ; and the three were ried together in the little rchyard at Painsted. Dn the day of the funeral there s a drawing of the Gumbo Lot -.T rhe manger of the enterprise >uted the numbers of the cap 1 prize; 9889 was not among am. Its holder was not entitled fifty thousand pounds. But it made no difference. Si m Wheeler lay beside his wife conscious of the drawing, and 3 yellow ticket bad long ago re ved itself into a-yellow sop ong the sedgy grasses by the 11-pond. WENTY IMPOLITE THINGS. 1.

' In consonance with the sentiment )f the King's Mountain assemblage ,he committee of arrangements for the ext South Carolina Centennial, that )f Cowpens, have fixed upon Thurs lay, the 7th inst., as the time to lay he corner stone of the costly memo -ial column which will commemorate he Cowpens fight, thus linking the wo great occasions together. The rand masters of Free Masons of spe .ial deputies from the Old Thirteen 3tates and Tennessee, assisted by the srand Lodge of South Carolina, and epresentatives of the subordinate t' odges and a large number of citizens, ,rom this and the adjoining States, gill assemble in Spartanburg on r rhursday evening at 8 o'clock to wit- c iess the impressive ceremonies. The Eutaw flag is to be displayed at King's Nlountaiu with a guard of honor from t he Washington Light Infantry, and vill also be unfurled at the evening eremonies at Spartanburg. As appropriate to the occasion, and s illustratiig the ideas of the Con .ittee of Arrangenoots, we have ob- t :ained copies of such inscriptions as ave been determined upon and vbich are now -being cast in bronze r or the Cowpeus Monument. In the .rout panel in this inscription To THE VICTORS OF COWPENS. who One Huudred years ago, a Fought for Civil Liberty b and b Self-Government. .d We enjoy the Result of their Struggles, let us emulate d the virtues which se cured it. b -o This Column is Erected by the joint action of thi, States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Con necticutt, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, h Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, The "OLD THIRTEEN," and of Tennessee,r In response to the invitation of f HE WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY of Charleston, S.

On the base below, in letters of ,olished granite, will be the name of :he hero of the fight : MORGAN. : a On the sub-base will be this recog- . ition of the action of Congress : The Unanimous Resolve of b PHE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES , crownsq ['his Memorial Column with the form and face of t 3ENERAL D)ANIEL~ MORGAN, TM hero of Cowpens, who, on that field, was victorious in the great cause of AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. t There are to be three corresponding a >ronze panels, one each for the New 0 ngland, the Middle and the South ~rn States. The general society f Cincinnati have. kindly under- 0 aken to consult the Governors of the ' tates as to each inscription, and with- h n a week or two we hope to be able : present the result of their delibe ations. The following is an inuscrip ion for the consideration of the Gov 3rnors of Maryland, Virginia, North aroina, South Carolina, Georgia and rennessee. One hundred years ago The men of the North and the South together, and by tireir blood secured The Independence, and cemented the r Union of the American States. The Bond that then bound them to gether is the Boud of their fellow countrymen to-day. The common country they created is the heritage of all their sons.

On the other sub-bases will be the ames of Howard and Pickena in wilar lettering. It is also intended use the other spaces, if practicable, r recording the names of junior Ecers who are mentioned in the ,ports of the battle, but the re >rds are far from complete, and ie delicacy of this duty forbids its asty execution for fear of uninten onal discriminations. After the laying of this corner :one there will be only thirteen eeks to the 17th January, 1881, 'hen the completed work is to be un eilkd. The granite column, twenty. ,vo feet in height, is nearly ready for ipment to Spartanburg. The bronze anels require time and care in their reparation and fitting, and the in 3riptions for those from the New ngland and Middle States will it is oped, soon be sent in to the com iittee. Mr. Ward has the Morgan tatue in a very forward condition in lay. It has been recently inspected, ad is highly spoken of as a splendid ,ork of art. Every arrangement has een made to reproduce it, in the ronze in season for the Centenniai ay, and it may be reasonably ex ected that there will be no delay in edicating the comple',ed work on the 7th January, 1881. Orators are to e selected, one from the New En land, one from the Middle, and one -on the Southern States, by the re Dective Governors, and this is in barge of the State societies of the incinnati in the several sections. An arly selection in each w'll, it is oped, soon be announced. The time for perfecting the details now very short, and there is need f prompt action. We have confi ence, however, that there will be no amissness, and on the threshold of 2e new year there will be a great athering at the foot of the Blue a tidgze Mountains in South Carolina.
