IS IT SO?
To long for and possess not,
Remember and regret not,
Mayhap, indeed, caress not,
But ever to forget not,
Is better than enough.
A little song for singing,
A little time for sighing
A summer swallow. bringing

THE LOTTERY TICKET.
-0
Painsted was in a state of ex.
itement. 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.

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
