One day last week,.while sad and dreary, As we wended, weak and weary, Across the unswept floor; We heard, at first, a gentle tapping, Then it became an earnest rapping, At our sanctum door. "Come in!" we said; while yet we pondered, And in silence we still wondered What for us could be in stc re; Then, the door-bolt gently turning, In he walked. Oar cheek was burning At thoughts of crimson gore. "Are you the man that does the writing?' (What word will rhyme with this but fight img? Qeickly thpugh we, o'er and o'er.) "Sir, we are," we gently told him, Nodding to the boys to bold him, If he tried to beat qs sore. 'Then you'll please give me a credit Opposite that little debit, For two dollars more, I like your paper, and will take it As long as you will strive to make it As good as it has been before." We jumped! he dodged! thus we missed him Or we surely would haye kissed-him: No matterif the boys did roar, So seldom treated in this manner, We felt inclined to sing hosannab! Only this aud.nothing more. It really was 'quite too awfully I 'exing,' .fterall her preparatic s Lwere made that now, iearly at the last moment, st ch a contre tempts should occur, and the more she thought of it the more was Mrs. Stewart Allenby in de spair. . ,nd with. god reason, for she had issued cards for a mornirg concert-a matinee musicale, as she cplled it. on the invitations; the frst she had ever-given since J she moved to the great house in one of the most fashionable roads in South Kensington, and she particularly desired that itishould be a success-and now Signora Belcoroe had gone ared fallen sick at the eleventh holir. and thel programme would be too short unless some one could be found to sing thne caratinafr'om 'Linda de Chtamounix.' 'Put in a comic song instead,' suggested Mr. Allenby, whose taste was not educated up to concert pitch. . 'A comic song in deed !' echoed his wife with - a scornful laugh. 'George, you are a fool!l' But as Mr. Allenby had heard this blunt statement a good many times before, be was not at all discomposed by it. At that momenit the door opened softly. Mrs. Allenby started up. 'Williams,' cried she to the footman, 'I'm not at home ! Didn't I tell you I could see nobody this morning !' 'Yes, madam,' the footman an swered, coughbing behbind he hand ; 'but it isn't &ompany, mad$n-it's the visiting governess. 'Oh r' Mrs. Allenby was visibly relieved. 'Come in, Miss Ash ton. Williams, call. Miss Constance at once to.her Rsons. Margaret -Ash toEi came qujetly in, a little, gray-dressed creature, like a nun, with soft hazel eyes, a complexion as pale as ivory, and mended gloves upon her small hands. S'You are not we!l, Mirs. Allen by, I- am afraid ?' she said, gently, -as she seated herself. S'I am well enough !' said Mrs. Stewart Allenby, petulantly-'on ly I'm in despair. You don't know of any one who cou-ld .sing that cavatina for me, do you,'Miss Ashton ?' 'Perhaps-1 could,' said Mar-. garet. 'You?' ~Mrs. Allenby stared as if the visiting governess had1 stated that ,she 'oulid construlct a sen tence in San serit. -I could sing a little once,' said Margaret ; 'and that cavatina was one of my favorite pieces.' 'You darling!' she cried. 'It toolg you could help me out of this .dilemma. Il be grateful to you all my lifec long.' ~Margaret went back to the humble little suburban cottage where she rented three rooms-i -' cottae when she sunnorted 2 fretful valetudinarian mother, and a pretty widowed sister, whose life had been a failure all the way through. -Charlotte,' she said, to the lat ter. 'I'm going to sing at a con cert next Wednesday!' 'You !' eehoed the widow. 'You'll fail, for a certainty.' I can try,' said Margaret, with a fluttering sigh. AYour voice is well ,enough;' said the sister, disparagingly ; 'but it has. no volume. And you never will have the confidence to sing before an audience.' The. tears came into Margafet's ey e . 'I must do somethiag, Char lotte,' said she. 'We cannot live on as we are living now. We are.. in debt everywhere, and since the doctor has-precribed dainties for mamma I haven't known where toTook for the money to buy them I with.' 'Perhaps I shall get something to do soop,' said CharItts. 'But., in the meantime ?' said Margaret, with a sorrowful up ,lifting,of her eyebrows. She was a" magnanimous little t.i) ng,t.his hard-worked, pale-faced visiting governess, or she woula bave reminded her elder -sister that sittin-g 'ali day vith curl pa pered locks .and dog's-eared nov ela was no way to obtain a-luc a tive sitiation of any sort. 'It's very hard on me,' said Mrs. Ashton, who bat with a de votional book in her lap and a bunch of grapes on a china plate, bpside her. 'If Margaret had been ike, any one else she would.bave made. a brilliant match long ago.'. Margaret did not remind her mother how- she had discarded, Basil Hepburn. long ago, because he was not sufficiently aristocratic c w$althy to snlt re. Ashtobs lofty ideas-and how Mr. IIep burn had since become a rich man, and -a- in ofiiiark: 'If he knew how very poor we re,'.aid Margawet to h'rself, w ith ~igh, 'I think briwould -be- sorry. 1i%4 could iiottihim ; and now that be~ has gone to travel in Egypt, and up the Nile, tisn't likelylI shall ever see him again.'. 'Your baven't~ any more voice than a sparrow,' said Mrs. Ash ton. 'YiA- havee never cultivated whafiite you have,' said Mrs. Cha'rotte ; 'and the idea of your sanding. .up to.sing among pose pofelisional 'vocalists is ilm-ply preposterous!' But Margaret stood valiantly to her colors, and when -ithe even t ful nigbt arrived she stood there os the velvet-covered platform, in her well-worn black silk, .softened by bunches of pale pink rosebuds, and a drapery of misty black lace, a spray of rosebuds in her hair, and an intenL look in her soft brown eyes. 'Now don't fatil,' Mrs. Allenby had ' whisperid, as the portierers~ of crimson velvet were lifted far~ her to pass out the mimic stage. 'No,' she answered, qaietly; 'I shall not fail.' But, for an instant, as she face:d the brilliant audience, the flutter of fans, the flash -of.diamonds, the glitter of the foot-lights seemed to blind an:d dazgle her; a suffocating sensation arose in her throat. 'I am going to fail,' she thought, and the recollection of Charlotte's dismal prophesies occurred to her -her mother's prognostications of evil, her own tormen ring doubts. 'I will not fail!' she said to her self, and advancing boldly into the little arena, she faced the circle of intent eyes, and-17egan~ to sing. Sweet and clear, like the liquid notes of a lark, her voice soared up, until, forgetting her own identity in tbat of iDonizetti's Swiss heroine, she became almost inspired ; and at the close a per fect shower of bouquets rained down upon the stage at her feet an ovation of voices rang up again and again in deafening applause. But Margaret was conscious only of one thing--she had not failed. Mrs. Allenby welcomed her rapturously to the pretty little 'green-room.' 'My dear Miss Ashton,' she cried, 'you are a genius-a second Jenny Lind ! Who was to suppose You are the star of my little con cert-:he prima donna of the evening ! No, don't take your bonnet,' as Margaret mechanically stretched out her hand for it. 'You must come in to the draw ing-room. They are all wild to know von.' 'Bat I cannot,' ploadcd poor Margaret, with a down ward giance at her dress. I am not prepared.' 'You are perfect.' said Mrs. Stewart Allenby. with winning despotism. -Besides, one of my guests says you are an old ac quaintan6e of his-Mr. Hepburn, who has just returned from Pal estine and the Holy Land.' So Marga.rst- was led into the midst of the glittering throrg, and introduced here and there, until, like one moving in a dream, she found herself leaning on Basil Hepburn's arm. ,So' you are a great singer.' he said. 'I never sang in public before in All my life.' 'You will be prouder and more baughty than ever.' 'I never -was humbler in all my life.' 4Margaret,' he uttered, softly. 'Well, Mr. Hepburn ?' 'Mr. Hepburn ! That sounds cold. Suppose you say, as you used to say, Basil.' ."But things are not. as they used to be said poor Margaret, br: heart beginning to beat un evenly in her- breast. 'Can they not be so-again, dear little Margaret?' he whispered, bending his tall bead to the level Df the cluster of rosebuds in ber hair. 'Can we not go back to the initial chapter of our lives, and begin . it: all over again. I am a rieb man, now, but all. my money cannot buy me an y treasure half so sweet and priceless as your love. .Dearest Margaret, tell me that you, too, aave not entirely orgotten the pait.' And Miss As2ton went home rom Mrs. Stewart Allenby's mat inee musicale an engaged younrg lady. 'I didn't fail, after all,' she said, radiantly. 'And .1 had half a dozen applications to sing again at pri vate .concerts, and Mrs. Allen by's money will just buy my wedding dress.' So the ourreLt of true love was running smoothly again, after all. OOTTON .CHARGES. Augusta Chronicle. The census reports of the Unri ted States are valuable in many ways, and will long give themes for journalistic pens. Just now they are important fa.ctors in an swering what is a 'burning ques tion' in t he South, to wit :'What is the total aiiount of charges against the farmuer pei- pound or bale?' The answer to this ques tion from twventy-one parishes'of Louisiana is to - lbe following effect: Thbere is first a storage,cbarge at the point from which the cot ton is shipped. of 25 to 50 cents a bale; a shipping charge of 25 cents ; or freight charge of 75 cents to $2 a bale to New Orleans; insurance one-half to five-eights per cent. ; com missions for selling 23 per cent., aad sometimes other charges for brokerage, drayage and handling. Thbe total of theseI charges varies from $3.50 to $6 per bale-arnd this does not in clude the loss by samnplinlg, nor the heavy interest charges for money advanced to the plan ter on is crop. It is; calculated that the planter loses from one-tenth to one-eighth of a bale in commission and other eh.rges after it leaves his fields. What the rate is in Georgia e' do not know, but would like to do so The Missouri Repubican~ says: -If a Western farmer bad to pay one bushel of wheat out o:: every ten or eight to have his crop sold, he would think it a hardship sufficiently great to -autborize him to make serious complaint, It is no less a hardship with the cotton planter to have to submit to similar ex actions on his cotton crop. And th panters will hae to submit to it as long as they remain in their present condition of depen ueice upon the factors and com mi5sioi merchants. Unlike the wheat crop, the cottou crop is rmortgaged before it is raised, and ill miortgaged property is forced to pay excessive rates for every service rendered it. If the South ern pianters could once make * C themselves independent by get Ling to 1 he point of raising a crop wthout a claim upon it, and be ling wholly to themselves they would save one~half the harges now exacted on their 'rop-a saving which would amoun t to 812,000,000.' The tctors run many risks, and j we dare say often experience heavy losses from . delin Ient f pl)alters. So long as the planters, trusting to eccentric seasons and many necessities, start in debt t ind keep dependent, they must pay the penalty of their misfor tune. We dare say factors and erohants would like to do an ex clusively cash business, at mode. rate rates; but so long as -the t planters prefer a credit system', fll of vicissitudes and d'anger to r both parties, we presuao..that the same old coinplaints. wiilbe heard and the same old story tod. from year to year. SOME MEN'S WIVES. s -Three men of wealth meeting, aot long since, in New York, the ,onversatiou turned upon their wives.. Instead of finding fault with women in general, and their wives in particular, each one S >beyed the wise man's advice, and 'gave 'honor' unto his wife.' 'I tell you what it is,' said orfe >f the men, 'they may say what they please about the uselessness >f modern women, but my wife has done her share in securing our 3uccess in life. Everybody kuows hat her -family was aristocratic, ind exclusive, and all that, and when I mnarried her she had never lone a day's work in her life; but when W. & Co. failed, and 1 had to commence at the foot of the t bill aga,in, she discharged the ser vants, and chose out a neat little sottage, and did her own house keeping until I was better off again. . - . 'And my wife,' said a second', ~was an only daughter, caressed ad petted to death; and every body said,. 'Well, if he will marry a. doll like that, he'll make the greatest mistake of his life ;' but when I came borne the first y-ear of our marriage, sick with a fever, she nursed me back to health, and 1 never knew her to murmur because I. thoughti we couldn't. afford anty better style or more luxuries.' 'Well, gentlemen,' chimed in a third, 'I married a smart, healtby, pretty girl, but she was a regular blue stocking. Sh e adored Tenny son,doted on Byron, read E merson, and named the first baby R~alph Waldo, and the second Maud ; but I tell you what 'tis,' and the speaker's eyes grcw suspiciousl moist, 'when we laid little Tha in her last bed at Auburn, my poor wife had no remembhrances of neglect or stinted motherly care ; and the little dresses that still lie in the locked drawer were all made by her own hands.'

THE DOLL'S PICNIC. rouble in Farmer Blake's Garret-Why the Picnic Failed. lmdive Time4. Thore was a picnic in Iarner Lake's attic. The armer andl his wife had '_one to-the village, and Ift little Dick and Fanny to take are of baby Ben. So the chil ren :.hought: they wonid have a eIc.t - it was Doll Dink's birthday. )oll Dinks was a black baby. six uonths ad, and he -squeaked. He ad a birth day twice a month. Doll Midigct .iad blue eyes and chow curls. She was'invited.to he picnic.. Dick got a great milk pan and lied it full .of water. This-was 3ostou Bay. The dolls were first o be taken out to sail, and. then hey were.to have a lunch. The uneb was - a large piece of- spice ake and two jam tarts. Pudge, the fat. kitten, was_in. 'ited to the picnic, too. To begin rith, they put ber on a- small able close to Boston Bay so that he could look on. There was Lot room in the boat for three of hem. The lunch was laid by in n old wooden box. As soon as he bdat was -ready Doll Dink-s nd Doll Midget! went on board. 'he boat was one. of Grandpa 3lake's old slippers. Thei they et sail; :Diek made -the wind low with:thebellows, au-d Fanny. u. fed out her rosy cheeks with 1I her might. But the trouble was that Baby 3cn wanted to- help with a fire hoveL So:..tbe children told .bim c- had .-botter be the fairy -god nother.. The fai rv.godmother al rays bid in the wood box,-and oppe< Lout :Ist.at.the right mo ient., Baby Ben thought he iked best to. blow the boat with b..fire- .shovel, bat Fanny prom ed to give him. a bite of her hare of the cake. -This consoled len, and they made a place for im in the wood box. There he ~ept so -very still- that the chil ren thought be must have gone o sleep. All at once a loud splash was eard. -A fearful storm arose in. ~oston Bay, and the- boat' was pset. It,-was-ail that fat kitten judge, who had tumbled ftrom he table into the milk pan. What ,n uproar ! -Thbe dolls had no ife preservers, hut Dick and Fan y bravely dragged them fromj be- waters; As for Pudge, thej bildren saw- the end of her tail ~oing down stairs, with a stream ike a smal -Charles River drip >ing off behind. Doll .Dinks, be og .holow, could float, and be queaked-as loud as~eybr when he vas pulled -out. But, after all, >OOr Doll' Midget was drowned. ier nice clean clothes were soak ~d, and her lovely' hair came all yUt of curl. 'Now,' said Fanny, 'we must ake Doll Midget to the kitchen ire and dry her, or she wil never >e fit to c-ome to the picnic.' 'Oh, no!' replied-Diok. 'Shets lead as a-as a hai:-pin. But I'v.e Erd Uncile John tell that they roll dr#ned folks on a barrel, and hen blow 'em up.' That rusti 3akes 'em.' 'Rustieakes 'em ?' said Fanny. 'Yes~ that's what Uncle John ralled it. Let's rusticake Dull Midget that way. Hold on till I get a barrel!' But all he could find was a large spoon. Thoen after Doll Midget's dress was taken off she was rolled. Dick.roiled her so hard that her sides split open-. Next he put the nose of the bellows between her ribs, for he said tbat her muouth was not big enough. Thien he blew just as hard as he could. The first thing Fanny knew a puff of sawdust flew out of Doll Midget's side into her eyes. Sbc threw her aproni over her head and began to cry. Dick kept shouting, 'She's rusticaked ! She's rusticaked !' Dat poor Fanny cried all the harder. So Dick proposed to wake up the fairy godmother and eat the picnic. At this Fanny .dried hereyes. Tihey crept up softly to the wood box.
