SELECTED STORY.
Dolly Gray's Experience.
, ? ' ! . ?-r'.o:
BY SYLVAN TS CORB, .III.
'-:o:
Dollie Gray h:ul seen sixteen years, ami was
the oldest of. seven children. J!cr father was
a laboring man, who worked very hard for a
small compensation, und who was obliged to
deprive himself of the actual a'OUiforts of lite
in ordi-r that his children might have the i
Wjmrewith to be led and clothed. And her I
mother tfoplfj j hard, too?worked very hard
nt times?=bV ihe'ti' c'reumstauces not only
mado jt liefenry, but slip was anxious that
her children should rcpolvo ovory advantage
rthc could possibly afford, oven at the cost of
her own eouveuicucc.
Dollie was pretty aud intelligent, and with
much prido, her parents had contrived to af
ford liiv an excellent education. She was
a kiudhbr.-iiid girl, with good sense ami gciiO
rous impulses; but as she approaehed the age
of budding womanhood she allowed a spirit cf
discontent to creep into her soul, and she har
bored the evil gcuius there, much to her own
discomfort, and to the pain and anxiety of her
parents. At school she had associated on
equal terms with the daughters of parents who
were well off in the world, nnd son:e of whom
were even wealthy; nnd she had learned to
live these companions, and value their good
opinions. But as the days of school were pas
sed, .'Hid Dollie was called upon to assist her
mother W? the various work of tho household,
these associations began to change. The more
favored children of fortune did not pay so
much attention to Dollie as they had formerly
done, and in many ways did they show that
they considered themselves above her.
There were two girls whom Dollie had es
pecially loved?Kate and Esther Gorman.
Kate was about her own age, and Esther was
two years- younger. Their father was a corn
and Hour dealer, and quite wealthy; but still
these two continued to treat J>ollic with kind
ness, and oven sought jhyr companionship.
They came to see her at her housii, and invited
her to call upon thuni. All this wonM have
been very pleasant, only poor Dollie allowed
herself to feel ashamed of tho humble home of
her parents, ami harbored slight touches of en
vy when she visited the sumptuous residence
of Mr. Gorman. She could nut help contract
ing her own plain cotton dress with tho rich
fabric which Kato wore ; and she thought bow
happy she would ho if she could only have
such fine things as her companions bad.
Poor girl! Sho forgot tho thousand-and
ono blessings sho enjoyed. She forgot her
health and strength?sho forgot the change
less love of her father nnd mother?she forgot
the clinging fondness of her little brothers and
sisters?she forgot all save those things which
sho did not possess. Mr. and Mrs. Gray both
saw it, and it caused them a groat deal of un
easiness. They had done so much for her?
they had loved her so well?and they were so
anxious for hor peace and happiness, that they
felt all this very kconly.
One day Mrs. Gray found her daughter
Ol
alone in her little chamber, sitting by the/yrin?
dow, crtgaged in dc?p thought, and asked hot
what she was thinking of. . At first Dolliq
w?uld not tell, but'finally sho 'acknowledged
that she was thinking of Kutc . Gorman's new
piano forte.
? "And is it possible, hiy chiul that you nl-i
low such thoughts a plnco in your mind?''
said the mother, in a tone of gcntlo reproof.'
uTell me?cau you fiti'd roofn'in your soul for
envy?''
"No no," replied Dollie; T don't feel envious;
but how can I help thiuking that I should like
a piano-forte ?"
?'By simply remembering that it is impossi
ble that you should have one! iny'tlenr." Your
father fiiids it difficult to furnish even the
things we absolutely need from his scanty
purse. Then how should he-?"
"O, I don't think that," interrupted the uu
casy girl. don't expect father to get mo
any such thing?I don't want him to."
"And yet you are discontented because you
cannot have one."
Dollie would have denied this but her mo
ther made her t??o that it was too evident to be
hidden.
?'Dollie," Mrs. Gray said, with deep emo
tion, "you cannot realize how much unhappi
ness you may be laying up for yourself. Lis
ten to me one moment, fui I would open to you
a truth which cannot now bo apparent to you.
You arc looking in a wrong direction for hap
piness.. You place an entirely false estimate
upon the possessions of this .world. There are
somo few things which are absolutely necessary
to our being and comfort, and all these you
may have. Deyond the simple sustaining of
life, the gifts of earth have their value not in
outward worth, but in the spirit which bears
them company. Now, you lud no thought of
a piano until you saw Kate Gorman have one.
Is it not so ?"
Dollie was forced to ad mit that it was.
'?Then" continued the mother, "you must
sec that thi- is tint an abi-olutc want,?it is
only a desire created by witnessing the posses
sion of another. Mr. Gorinan gives to his
children* what he can afford to give; hut mind
you. those gifts can bestow no real? happiness
of themselves ; the spirit which goes with them
?thu love of the giver, and the gratitude of
the givor, and the gratitude of the receiver?
must be the sources of happiness. All the
Wealth in the world could give no jojf in the
absence of love and contentment; Surely yon
have enough to make you happy, if you will
only try to feel so. Tell nie?would you ex
change the love of your father for.a piano
forte V'
"You know T would not," answered Dollie,
somewhat reproachfully. j
'?Would you give up one of bis warm smiles
?would you forget one of the many kind
words he has spoken?would you wipe out
from the angel's book a single record of the
blessings aud the prayers your father has sent
up for you, tot P11 thc we:,Uh &r. Gor?,
possesses*?"
"0, no, no!"
"Then try and be happy my child, with
what you have. ?, strive to bo thankful for
the blessings which are yours, instead of dwel
ling upon the thought of possessions which you
cannot obtain."
Dollie began to weep, as she always did
when her f clings were touched, and when her
mother had kissed und blessed her, she left her
to herself.
A few weeks after the conversation to which
we have alluded took place. Mrs. Goruinu came
down to Mr. Gray's and asked that Dollie
might come up and stop with her a short time.
Two of her younger children were very sick,
and she wanted Dollie to nurse them. She did
not mention any particular item of remunera
tion, but said that she could make it all right
and satisfactory. Mis. Gray was very willing,
and Dollie was even anxious to go, for she
thought what a fine time she would have when
at jeisurc, in thumping the piano-forte. And
she went.
For a few days Dollie enjoyed herself very
well at the home of Kate Gorman; for her at
tention, when not confined to her duties as
nurse, was taken up by the many fine things
by which she was surrounded. Hut this could
not last a great while. Mere outside show
could charm her while it was novel, but as she
become used to it. and its novelty wore off, she
began to look deeper down into the substance.
When she Was tired and weary with the cart'
of the sick children, and sought a peaceful
comfort with the family, sho could not find it.
She did not find it because it was not there.
When Mr. Gorman came homo from his store
he did not meet his children with a smile, and
kiss them, and tell them how much ho loved
them ; nor did his children gather about him
for any mark of his affection j but all was cold
and distant- nnd, if (hero was any warmth, it
was oftenor of frelfulncss than of anything
else. And then Mrs. Gorman was not the
bright, pleasant woman in her family which
she appeared in company. She was not a per
son of bad temper, but she had been a pamp
crcd'^rilid from lier youth up, and she could not
'appreciate the splendid fortune which was hers.
?Sho only countocf'the lnlsfort?tids, and realized
the rfaina. So- the dickft'ess of her children
comgjfctcly overshadowed every earthly bless
ing, and sho chorished nothing but her misery.
Did k visitor call, sho was all lifo and agrcc
ableness for the time being; but when sho re
turnftd to her family tho light was gone. Tho
sick; ohildreji were very troublesome: nud so
wore some who were not sick. Tho mother
had pio patience?sho could hour no trouble
kindly?and even "Kate aud Esther began to
appear to disadvantage.
Wor a day or two Dollic had. taken somo lit
tle pjiiufort with the piano, especially when nhc
could hear.the teacher play ; but its music soon
grew dull when the harp strings of the soul
were discordautly strung. One afternoon she
stood all alone in the great parlor?some com
pany had just gone?aud shu heard Mrs. Oor
mau fretting in an adjoining apartment. She
gaztJd around upon the sumptuous trappings us
she. stood there, and while sho ga/.ed, a voice
whimpered " What in iL all worth ?" And then
she asked herself?can it give joy ? Can it give
peace ? Can. it give coudhrb?. Can it yield
contentment'{ She thought of her own quiet
hoiiic?she thought of thu love and blessing
which was there?and she wished herself back
in the old circle. Sho found that Kate did
nut prize her piano-forte, but that she ruth es
considered it a task to study aud practice her
music lessons. In short, the instrument was
not a source of real comfort to her; It might
have been?but is was not.
On Saturday evening Dollic went to her own
lowly houio, from which she had been absent,
abdut a week. At the duor she met her fath
er, aud he put his great stout arm about her,
aud kissed her. Then she met her mother?
and auother warm kiss; and then her brothers
and sisters gathered about her, and when they,
too, had kissed her. they brought forth offer
ings of love?offerings of flowers aud of fruit?
which they had gathered for doer, good Dollic
when she had coiue home. Aud w hen they
were all gathered about, the family board, aud
tin: blessing had been asked, as Uc gazed fondly
iinou his first-born.?
"*\h, Dollie, we liavo missed y\m very much
sinee you have been gone. We didn't know
how dearly we loved you till we found your
chair empty."
Anil as he .spoke tears glistened in his eye?
glistened there for ail instant, and then dropped
upon the back of his brown, toil-worubaud?
a tear ot love and blessing?richer by fur in jts
soul wealth than all the gems of all the earth.
And that night, before Dollic retired, she
went and put her arms about her mother's neck,
aud when she had kissed her, she said,?
"0, my own dear mother, 1 will never, never
be envious again. (live me but the sweet love
and blessing of my home, and I will ask no
more. I know now that the real value of pos
sessions mu t lie in the spirit which goes with
? iuuui. J' '.' Ii.\i'pr?i rings of the piftllfl v-.us.i some
some break and grow discordant ; but the notes
of love and affection which,.foil from the lips
of my father aud mother, and my brother and
sisters, shall grow discordant never?never.
Thuy shall awaken sweet music in my soul
while sense and memory last ("

FrctlJ Douglas to His People.
In a late speech at Akron, Ohio, Fred.
Douglas, addressing the colored people, told
them that tho Government emancipated the
negroes as a matter of policy, and iv:t from any
Christian motive of right or justice, and that
they had no more reason to be thankful,to the
Government for their ' frocdoin than had the
Hebrews to feel thankful to Pharaoh for their
deliverance from bondagCj Douglas said that
although it was possible that, natural!}', the
colored men were equal to the whites, they
were not so practically, and that they must rlso
through their own exertions to avouch higher
degree of intelligence before being.allowed all
tho rights and privileges of the white man.
lie added, that they were now on probation, and
if fifteen years hence fouud them as thoy now
are, iL would be almost impossible for them to
make any advancement. Perhaps this advice,
from an intelligent colored man maybe received
by his race as the counsel of a friend. It is cer
tain that the competition against which the}'
will have to couteud for the means of support,
must increase, by immigration, every year,
whilst they can rely on no such addition to their
numbers, but must make up for the inequality
by increased efficiency. The ignorant and de
graded, of whatever color, must always be sub
ject to superior - intelligence, and it behooves
the colored people to reflect whether those are
their true friends who would plunge them into
politics without previous preparation and train
ing, or those who would help to lit them, as
far as may be accomplished; for the discharge
hereafter of such duties as may devolve upon
them. ? Columbia Phoenix.
