There was gossiping by be roadside and over early te ables. Innumerable voices had uttered be exclamations, 'Do tell' and [ want to know ' but all that V ad happened was the quietest redding possible. Two people in their Sunday d lotbes, accompanied by two riends also arrayed in their best, ad walked over to the church, nd there the minister had pro- d ounced them man and wife. Even at Painsted people some imes married, and many more mportant persons had been made ne, than Sally Corkindahl and imon Wheeler; but somehow 9 lainsted was excited. t Sally Corkindahl was a young roman of thirty, without beauty, at wonderfully neat and indus rious. Ever since her fifteenth birth ay sbe had gone about from ouse to house making dresses nd children's clothes, known verywhere as a good, pious young roman, but never considered at ractive. Her work was good and slow. n the course of these fifteen years he had laid by fifty pounds. She always had a black alpaca, clean linen collar, and a checked pron; but whether they were e same or were occasionally re ewed, no one could tell. Simon Wheeler was a very pret y young man of four-and-twenty, ith light hair and big blue eyes. a Since he left school he had nev- c r been known to do anything but t on his Aunt Wheeler's door step b nd look at the newspaper-ac-n ally 'look' at it-he never read As soon 'is it arrived he would ize upon it, turn to a special rner and look at it. What he stared at, though this ras known only to himself, was ae mall advertisement which occu ed the same position in that articular paper from one year's nd to the other, and which wasa eaded : 'Great Gumbo Lottery I apital Prize, Fifty T1housand ounds. Tickets, one pound each.'S When the day of the drawing ame, and a little list of numberse ras to be seen below this adver-c isement Simon looked longer nd was often observed to sigh. t Not however, because he had in ested his money in tickets and st, but because be had none to vest. Aunt Wheeler was not 00 generous. 'I'll keep you till you can keep d ourself,' she often said, 'but I han't have my money wasted on ~igars and wine. You're better Ef without none.' Simon neither desired wine or ~igars, nor any other luxury of issipated yo'th ; but i be could ave had the price of a lottery icket without working for it, he would have rejoiced. 1n his early boyhood be had .1 reamed that he had drawn a ucky number. He believed in reams-that dream in* particu- I ar. It had tbe effect upon him that aving his name in a will has up n many a young man. He saw no need of learning a rade, of going into a shop or set ing himself to earn his bread I mywhere or in any manner. With his first pound he would I >y a lottery ticket, draw the ifty thousand prize, reimburse his Lunt for all that she had expend d upon him, be very jolly and ,encrous to everybody, and 'live uxuriously every day,' like the own mouse in the stable. One afternoon as he sauntered n, sleepy-eyed and dreamy, he bund Sally Corkindahl at the toa able. She had been sewing for his unt all the afternoon. Meanwhile he also had been ery busy. He had found an imaginary iound, bought a ticket, drawn he prize, and bestowed upon his unt a little carriage, two cream olored horses and a black silk ress. Her delight over the unexpected resent and wonderful news had ept him from opening the can ed fruit as be had promised to 0. Mrs. Wheeler, who knew noth ig of this fine waking dream, de iied to scold him. However, Sally's presenee pre ented her from doing so. She ntented herself with a talk at Im over the dress maker's shoul er. She praised the girl's industry, er prudence, her economy. 'That's the way to get on,' she iid-'tbat's the spirit I like. In ependent from the time you lost our parents, and making little xvings all the while. Don't say, nly fifty pounds.' Every little iakes a nickel. I've heard my randmother say. Many a one iat has earned double your toney hasn't saved a penny.' Simo1 listened. 'Fifty pounds ' said he to him. 0lf. 'Why don't she buy a lot ry ticket, draw a prize, and stop wing? I would.' He looked earnestly at Sally. 'he color came into her thin eeks. She was not often the object of ich intent regard. Could -it be that this young ian admired her? Sally Corkindahl felt sure that iis was so when Simon offered ) see her home that evening. That was the beginning of it. The end was that wedding hich had awakened such aston hent at Painsted. The wonder that industrious ally Corkindahl had married euch a idle fellow, who certainly uld not take care of her, was nly matched by-the wonder that andsome Simon Wheeler had tarried that plain, utterly unat -active Sally Corkindahl. Mrs. Wheeler resented it high 'Since you've chosen a common samstress, and married her with at a hint to me, you can take re of her,' she said : '.1 won't.' So Simon had sanutered over to 2e one room which Sally hired, ith his portmanteau in one hand rid an umbrella in the other ; and ally still went out to work, whbile imon sat at the window and >oked at his paper. He had told her he expected to yme into a fortune, and she re ived his statement with the redulity of love, and was content ) pinch and toil in the mean ime. Sbe had placed her savings book ihis hands. All she had was his by the laws f her love, and before their wed ing-day was over Simon had ought his first ticket. It was that that made his heart eat so wildly, not the touch of er honest hand upon his own as he met him in the gloaming; but e said to himself. 'There shan't e any more drudgery for Sally hen I draw the capital prize.' There are twelve months in the ear ; each month the great Gum o Lottery had a drawing-each nonth Simon Wheeler bought a icket and drew a blank. Sally kne w nothing of it. The anniversary of their wed ing came. On that day Simon ought two tickets, and in due orse of time drew two blanks. He was always kind to his wife, 'orever talked of his expectations, and praised her industry ; forever aneat t he paper, and made lit. tle sums in lead pencil on- Sally's pine table. At the end of two years Sally began to feel a little anxious, at the end of three a little weary, at the end of four alarmed. Forty-eight months had passed by, fbrty-eigbt drawings had been made by the Gumbo Lottery, and forty-eight blanks had been drawn by Simon. One day be made his purchase with trepidation, and returned home trembling; he had spent the last pound of his poor wife's board! He had bought his fiftieth ticket in the Gumbo, and for the first time his heart failed him ; he had always expected a -prize before, now he only looked for a blank. He went into his small room. Sally sat at her table sewing. She looked up as Simon entered, and her eyes filled with tears. 'Husband,' she said, 'I've got to ask you about the bank book. I hoped to let the money lie and then add io it. You've got it safe, I suppose.' 'Yes, the book is safe,' said Si mon, with a dreary expression. 'I'd like to see it, if you don't mind,' said poor Sally. 'It seems as if it would be a sort of comfort.' Simon took the book from his pocket and handed it to her. She opened it and glanced at it. Then her face flushed and she began to cry. 'Don't!' said Simon. 'Don't, Sally !-don't cry. I meant it for the best.' 'If you needed it, you were wel come. It belonged to you as much as to me,' said Sally; 'but you might have mentioned it. I'd have been prepared.' 'I was so sure,' said Simon. 'So sure.' 'So sure of wbat ?' asked Sally. 'Of the fifty thousand pounds,' said Simon; 'I expected it long ago.' 'You've never told me what you expected it from,' said Sally. 'Do you ever think it will be left to you? Was it your father's money ? If you'd tell me I could think it over. What was it? You wouldn't deceive me, and you are no't crazy ; but I can't think what you mean by expecting fitty thousand pounds. And, oh, I am so worried, Simon!' 'Perhaps it may come yet, Sally,' said Simon. He took his handkerchief from his pocket as he spoke and wiped his wife's eyes with it. As he did so a bit of yellow paper fell into her lap-the last Gumbo Lottery ticket, bought but an hour before. She caught at it and her face flushed again. She looked at her husband with the gleam of anger in her eyes, and cried out, sharp. ly: 'Is this it ? Is this the secret the fortune you're talked of? Are you crazy enough for this ? Have you been buying tickets in that cheating lottery all these years, and is my last pound, that I see you have drawn from the bank to.day, spent for that thing ?' Poor Simon! He stared at his wife for a long time without an swering ; then he said, slowly : 'Think of it-forty-nine blanks, and every time I expected a prize -the capital prize. Think of my disappointment!' 'I can't think of anything ex cept that I've married a fool,' said Sally. 'I could kill myself when I think of it. I believe you mar ried me to get that fifty pounds to gamble witig.' Then she began to cry. 'Yes, I've been a fool,' he said ; 'but though the money made me think of asking you to have me, I meant to make you rich. I did, Sally ; I vow I did. We've got along very well. haven't we ? 1 think a great deal of you. I meant to do everything for you; but it's all over now. I look at that ticket, and I know it's a blank. I should never buy another never, never! You se'e, that dream -L told you once of my dream appeared as if it must come true; but my luck is bad, I see that 'Luck !' cried Sally, stung by re sentment. 'Luck ! Oh, get out of my sight ! Pick up that ticket th,t. yon've anent my last hard earned pound on, and go where I can't see you for a little while, do!' 'I'm going, Sallr !' said Simon. He stepped towards her as he spoke. He would have kissed her if she had permitted him to do Then be picked ap the yellow ticket, read the number aloud 9889-crammed it into his pocket, and sauntered away. At six o'clock that evening there was a little crowd beside the mill dam. It was fast increasing, for a body had been taken out of the water with a pocket handkerchief full of stones about the neck; Simon Wheeler's body. He had drowned himself in less than half an hour after he bad walked so leisurely away from his injured Sally's presence. They found in his pocket an empty purse, a little list of num bers, and a yellow ticket soaked through, but still bearing on its surface the figures 9889. Sally would have known what it was but she never saw it, or the dead face that looked into its mar ble whitness like some beautiful statue, for she lay upon her pillow as white as he, with her little baby on her bosom z and the. three were buried together in the little churchyard at Painsted. On the day of the funeral there was a drawing of the Gumbo Lot tery. The manger. of the enterprise shouted the numbers of the cap. ital prize; 9889 was not among them. Its holder was not entitled to fifty thousand pounds. But it made no difference. Si mon Wheeler lay beside his wife unconscious of the drawing, and the yellow ticket had long ago re solved itself into a-yellow sop among the tedgy grasses by the mill-pond. 5ittImzeouz.

KING'S MOUNTAIN---COW PENS. In consonance with the sentiment af the King's Mountain assemblage tbc committee of arrangements for the 3ext South Carolina Centennial, that >f Cowpens, have fixed upon Thurs iay, 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 Yrand masters of Free Masons of spe ,ial deputies from the Old Thirteen States and Tennessee, assisted by the Trand Lodge of South Carolina, and -epresentatives of the subordinate odges and a large number of citizens, .rom this and the adjoining States, will assemble in Spartanburg on Chursday evening at 8 o'clock to wit. iess the iwpressive ceremonies. The F,utaw flag is to be displayed at King's Uountain with a guard of honor from he Washington Light Infantry, and vill also be unfurled at the evening :eremonies at Spartanburg. As appropriate to the occasion, and s illustrating the ideas of the Com uittee of Arrangemonts, we have ob ained copies of such inscriptions as tave been determined upon and which are now -being cast in bronze or the Cowpeus Monument. In the ront panel in this inscription To THE VICTORS OF COWPENS. who One Huudred years ago, Fought for Civil Liberty and Self-Government. We enjoy the Result of their Struqgles, let us emulate the virtues which se cured it. -0 This Column is Erected by the joint action of th,- States of : iew Hampshire, Massathusetts-Con necticutt, Rhode Islwd, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, The "OLD THIRTEEN," and of Tennessee, In response to the invitation of [HE WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY of Charleston, S.

There are to be three corresponding ronze panels, one each for the New ingland, the Middle and the South rn States. The general society f Cincinnati have. kindly under: sken to consult the Governors of the tates as to each inscription, and with a a week or two we hope to be able a present the result of their delibe ations.

It is se ntefded to use the other spaces, if practicable, for recording the names of junior oieers who are mentioned in the reports of the battle, but the re cords are far from complete, and' the delicacy of this duty forbids its hasty execution for fear of uninten tional discriminations. After the laying of this corner stone there will be only thirteen weeks to the 17th January, 1881, when the completed work is to be un veiled. The granite column, twenty two feet in height, is nearly ready for shipment to Spartanburg. The bronze panels require time and care in their preparation and fitting, and the in scriptions for those from the New England and Middle States will it is hoped, soon be sent in to the com mittee. Mr. Ward has the Morgan Statue in a very forward condition ia clay. It has been recently inspected, and is highly spoken of as a splendid work of art. Every arrangement has been made to repr6duce it, in the bronze in season for the Centennial -day, and it may be reasonably ex pected that there will -be no delay in dedicating the compe'ed- work on the 17th January, 1881. Oratorsaret be selected, one from- the New; En gland, one from the Middle, and&one from the Southern- States, by the-re spective , Governors, and this is in charge 'of'the State soietiesofthe Cincinnati'i-tlhe seveial sectiiji.

(News an& Courier. There is one phrass without which half the pleasure of life would be taken .away. It is a phraoe of irritation to,one party, and extreme satisfaction to the other, whenever anything goes wrong. It is, "I1 told you so." Mistakes are made-even by the best of men. An English clergy man of the last century in an elo- . quent sermon'extols the~ goodness of the Creator in always making the largesi rivers flow close by the most populous towns. Truth and purity, like so mainy gems in the life and exaiple :of the good man, cannot but shamE and condemn error, and vioe -in others.
