Mr. St. John thrust his hands into his pock? ets, and walked meditatingly across the floor. "Now, then," he continued, "I know nothing whatever about taking care of the girls. If she wras a young lady I should understand what my duty would oe; but in this case things are dif? ferent." He picked up a letter which was lying on the taole and reperused it It was a dyiug re? quest from a valued friend for St. John to be? come the guardian of the writer's only child, a girl, who was then at school. Of course St. John could not refuse, and in consequence was quite at a loss to know what to do with his newly-acquired family. "However," said he, brightening" up at the thought, "I'll send her a lot of presents and keep her at school for a while vet." And so he dicL Which in due season reached Madame Po? lisher's Fashionable Penxionate, where girls are "made to order," and sent home to parents aud guardians as model young leadies ready for homes and husbands of their own. "A box for Madamoiselle Le Brune," said the voluble little French woman, presenting Mr. St. John's gifts to a tall, slender young lady, with wide open grey eves, and satin brown hair, and clothed in the deepest mourn? ing. The box was opened in the privacv of her own room, and with feelings divided between amusement and rage, the contents were exhib? ited to her schoolmates. First came a huge wax doll, dressed in the latest style, with eyes that would open and shut, and which by touch? ing a wire in the side of the body, would give vent to a succession of screams. "Just like a baby for all the world," cried little Alice Maydew, between her shouts of laughter, as Miss Le Brune touched the wire, and the "infant" went off into a spasmodic fit of weeping. Then there was a doll-house, and a china tea-set, a mammoth tin rattle, and, in fact ev? erything a little girl of five or six years would fancy. In the bottom of the box was a short Letter, beginning, "My little ward," and ending, "From your guardian," in which the writer stated that he would see that she had every? thing she desired, hoped to hear from her long and glowing accounts of her studfes, etc. Margaret scarcely knew whether to be offen? ded or otherwise.* Evidently her guardian thought she was a mere child, and she deter? mined not to undeceive him. When the vacation came, she accepted an invitation from one of her school friends to spend the few weeks which intervened between the past term and the one in prospective with her, at a pleasant country village on the Hud? son. * * * * * * * * "By Jove! Splendidly done!" The exclamation was drawn forth by the ap Searance of a horse aud rider flying over a five arred gate, and disappearing dowu the broad road leading to the beach. St. John, for it was he, looked after the equestrienne until she was lost from view, and then loitered along the path, on his way to the hotel. Presently she rode past again, but this time more slowly, and he saw a pair of large grey eyes, and a coronet of brown hair, a dusky, oval face, and a dainty mouth. >HMy fate," said he, watching 'her as she passed him, his heart gave a great bound against his vest pocket. "I wonder who she is?" He waited every day for another sight of her, but was doomed to be disappointed. The Sabbath came, and out of sheer weari? ness and want of something to do he went to the village church, and the first person he saw was the unknown. I'm not positive that he heard the sermon, or anything else. I do know, though, that he stared at his pretty neighbor in a very unneighborly manner, which caused the dusky face to become a very apparent erimson, and the grey orbs to flash rather defi? antly, j When the services were ended, he kept close to the entrance-way, and as the young lady ap? proached with a party of friends he heard some oody say, "That's Miss Maydew, and?." The rest of the sentence was lost; but St. John was j satisfied: that that*was her name, for who else could there* be in that assemblage to attract any particular attention or elicit any remarks. Nobody, of course* And he went'home de? lighted. He watched and waited to see her again, and at last heard some one say that "Mr. Maydew's daughter had returned to school again." Thereupon he was almost disenchanted. "Only a school girl, a bread-and-butter Miss, after all," sighed he, packing his valise. "And that reminds me of my ward. I sup? pose it's time for more presents." And directly after Miss Le Brune receive d a prodsgiously large package of confectionery, much to her amusement, and the delight of her companions who tasted it. Two years rolled around, and twice St. John had seen the owner of the eyes and hair, once in the cars,. where he gave her a seat? and once at a concert in an adjoining citj-, where she j was spending a vacation with an aunt. Margaret remembered him distinctly, but had no idea who he was, and in speaking of him to her friend, Alice Maydew jocularly de? signated him as "the party with impertinent eyes, whom the gods evidently designated for her worse half." The months passed on, and at last her school days were over. St. John, about this time, took the idea into his head to invite his ward to spend a few weeks. "I'll go?that is if you will accompany me, Alice. I think we'll have a pleasant time/ I've never seen him, but probably he's an old fellow, with red whiskers and false teeth, not at all like? ly to be dangerous. Besides, it is perfectly proper for me to go, since he is my guardian." She notified him of her acceptance, and an? nounced that she would bring a frieud with her. St. John sent a carriage for them at the de? pot, and upon arriving at his elegant residence the servant showed them their rooms, quite as? tonished to find two young ladies instead of some little girls, who were to visit thorn fiwr some time.. They went to the parlor after washing and dressing. .St. John Kit near the window, but hearing footsteps, ro*c to receive his little fuests ; but, seeing Miss Le Brune, he started ack in astonishment. She was uo less sur? prised. Here was this fellow again, and albeit .she felt just the least bit pleased at his persistent attempt to make her acquaintance, yet it would never do to let him know it. '?Permit me to offer some scats," said lie, suiting the action to the word, and wheeling a couple of velvet-colored chaira around for theui. "This ifi Miss Maydew, is it not Y* he asked politely. "No"" said she, crossly, vexed with his curi? osity ; "I am Miss Le Brune, and am waiting to see my guardian, Mr. St. Johu." "The deuce! I?ah?ahem! Ladies, I beg your pardon, bat the fact is, I'm St. John my I suit There is a, mistake somewhere, 1*11 be j bound." For a moment she seemed vexed, then ex? truding her hand, said, laughingly: "I supposed you were an elderly gentleman, and from the gifts you honored me with, I pre? sume you had set me down as a little girl. We were both mistaken." One by one the days glided by, and upon a pleasant evening, under the shadow of the oleander trees, St. John whispered the old, old storv, yet that self-same story, which is ever new*. And not long after, "in gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls," St. John took his ward "into partnership." -<s> Remarkable Railway Accident.?The train of the Ohio and Mississippi Railway, which left Cincinnati last Friday afternoon, met with a remarkable escape. "When crossing the Louisville bridge over the Ohio River, the engine was thrown from the track by a broken rail.. Yet, although five feet of rail were out of place, all the rest of the train leaped tfie break and struck the rail on the other side in safety. When the engine left the track the en? gineer and firemen shut off steam and climbed out on the boiler, in order, as they said, "to be on top, whichever way she jumped," and left the rest to fate. Will she keep the bridge, or will she plunge thirty feet to the dark water below, just covered with a thin coating of ice ? A guard rail runs along, connecting the ends of the .sleepers, and made of square timber. The edge of this just catches the flange of the front truck wheel, and they are saved The rail of w ood acts for a short distance as a rail of iron, and conducts the engine over the chasm. Two inches more to the left and nothing could have saved them. Just beyond the bridge, the engine left the sleepers, and, tearing away the track in all di? rections," plunged down the bank to the left, but so slowly that the eutire train, except the express car, remained on the track. The driver and fireman jumped off uninjured, and one man scratched iu the baggage car was the only casu? alty. Stopping the Train.?The express train was whirling along over the Lehigh Valley Railroad the other day?behind time, and run ningatfuriousspeed?when thecngineercaught sight of an old lady slowly pattering ahead up? on the track. Instantly the whistle was blown. No heed, however, was taken of it. But think? ing the venerable dame would get out of danger in due time, thespeed was notslackened, though the screaming of the whistle made the moun? tain ring. The old lady, however, kept on slowly, neither turned her head to the right nor left, until the engineer was almost upon her; then the brakes were put on with a will, and a stoppage effected just in time to save her life. "What the deuce is the matter with you?" asked the engineer, as he jumped off' and* took the aucient dame by the shoulder. "Guess you needn't scream so. You have made fuss enough already," was the caustic re? ply. "Yo i heard the whutie, then?" "Sartinly ; I hain't deaf." "Then, why in the name of thuuder didn't you get off the track?" "\ ou hain't got no right to run over folks, as I know on, and it's your business to stop when you see them walking on the track !" The swearing of "our army in Flanders" was nothing compared to that of the engineer, as he pushed her aside, sprang upon the engine, and set it whizzing again to tho tune of forty miles an hour. -o Accidental Death op Sheriff Vick ers.?The-Greenville Enterprise furnishes the annexed particulars of this sad occurrence : The people of the city were thrown into a profound commotion on Thursday last, about 9 o'clock, at the death of Austin B. Vickcrs, Esq., Sheriff of this county. Mr. Vickers-, preparatory to the execution to take place next day, was putting Iiis pistol, to? gether with that of his Deputy, in order; and whilst making some repairs upon one of them, it is supposed one of the chambers was dis? charged. The ball entered just behind the right car, ranging across the head, lodging just under the skin above the left. When the acci? dent occurred, he was sitting by the fireside, at his residence, with no oue in the room, the nearest person being his mother, who was in an adjoining apartment.- The latter, hearing the report, rushed to him, and found hint near? ly dead, as the result was almost in-tautaneous; never speaking afterwards. A jury of inquest was immediately impan nellcd, composed of sonic of our most intelli? gent citizens, Gen. W. K. Easlcy foreman, who, after hours of careful investigation and listen? ing to the evidence, and examination of the circumstances, rendered a verdict of accidental death. Mr. Vickcrs was an upright and correct man, and was very popular, a native of the County, and gave promise of future usefulness. The funeral took place on Saturday at the Metho? dist Church, attended by the Palmetto Fire Company, of which he was a member, besides a large assembly of others. He was about 32 years of age, and leaves an aged mot her to mourn his death. A Judicial Anecdote.?An incident in the judicial career of the Don. Thomas B. Monroe, who for over twenty years occupied the position of Federal Judge in Kentucky, will illustrate the high purity of his character, and may'servc to remind the judiciary of our day how conscientiously the judges of the old? en time held the scales of justice. a student in the judge's law school one day asked him if in deciding a cause he ever had felt any bias or prejudice for or against the parties. Thejudgc promptly said : "Never but once; I'll tell you the story : There was a very important case, which was argued with great ability before me by the most distinguished lawyers at the bar of Frankfort, and it took two weeks in the trial Every morning, as the court opened, a little . woman, dressed in black, modestly and unas? sumingly, courtesied to the court, as if unseen, and took her seat near the door. Just before the court adjourned she retired, not without making always a courtesy. It attracted my at? tention, and I inquired who she vya*. 1 was t ?ld she was a party to the suit then on trial. When the cause was submitted, ard I was pre? paring my opinion, I found it impossible to dismiss from my mind that little woman and her courtesy. I began to doubt whether I could do justice in the ease. I studied the matter very closely, and finally decided in lier favor. \t involved the title to all she possessed in the world. I never," said the judge, "was entirely satisfied that my decision was correct until it was finally unanimously affirmed by I the Supreme Court of the United States. I feared my judgment had been warped by the ! simplicity and delicacy of the little woman in, black." * ? Mark Twain produces one of tho most striking cases of meanness on record. lie says he knows a society which hired a man to blast rocks, and as he was pounding the powder with a crowbar an explosion took place, sending the ? man and crowbar out of sight. Both came down all right, and the man went to work again promptly. But though he was gone only fifteen minutes, the company "docked him for lost time." ? "No, my dear," said a mother to her daughter, who had been taking a nap before j dressing for an evening party, "you needn't re? arrange your hair. You couldn't make it look any rougher If you tried." Will He Succeed. In nine cases out of ten, no man's life will be a success unless be bears burdens in bis childhood. If the fondness or vauityof father or mother has kept him from hard work; if another always helped him out at the end of his row; if, instead of taking his turn at pitch? ing off, he moved away all of the time?in short, if what was light always fell to him, and what was heavy about the work, to some one else; if he has been permitted to shirk till shirking has become a habit?unless a miracle is wrought, his life will be a failure, and the blame will not be half so much his as that of poor, weak, foolish parents. On the other baud, if a boy has been brought up to do his part; never allowed to shirk any legitimate responsibility, or permitted to dodge work, whether or not it made his back ache or ?soiled bis hand, until bearing heavy burdens became a matter of pride, the heavy end of the wood his from choice?pareuts, as they bid him good-bye, may dismiss their fears. His life will not be a "business failure. The ele? ments of success are his, and at some time and in some way the world will recognize his busi? ness capacity. Take another point. Money is the object of the world's pursuits. It is an object. It gives bread and clothing, and homes and comfort. The world has not judged wholly unwisely when it has made the positiou a man occupies to hinge more or less on his ability to earn money, and somewhat upon the amount of his possessions. If he is miserably poor, it either argues some defect in his business ability, some recklessness in his expenditures, or a lack of fitness to cope with men in the great battle for gold. When a country-bred boy leaves home, it is generally to enter upon some business, the end of which is to acquire property, and he will succeed just in proportion as he has been made to earn and save in childhood. If the money he has had come of planting a little patch in the Spring, and selling its pro? duce after months of watching and toil in the Fall, or from killing woodchucks at six cents a head ; or from trapping musk rats, and selling their skins for a shilling; setting snares in the Fall for game, and walking miles to see them in the morning before old folks were up ; husk? ing corn for a neighbor, moonlight evenings, at two cents a bushel; working out an occasional day that hard work at honte has made possi? ble?he is good to make his pile in the world. On the contrary, if the boy never earned a dollar; if parents and friends always kept him in spending money?pennies to buy candies and fish-hooks, and to satisfy his imagined wants?and he has grown to manhood in the expectancy thai, the world will generally treat him with a similar consideration, he will al? ways be a make-shift; and the fault i? not so much his as those about him, who never made the boy depend on himself?did not make him wait six months to get money to replace a lost jack-knife. Everybody has to rough it at one time or another. If roughing comes in boyhood, it docs good ; if later, wheu habits are formed, it is equally tough, but not being educational, is entirely useless. And the question whether a young man will succeed in making money or not. depends not upon where he goes or what he dues, but upon his willingness to do "his part," and upon his having earned money, and so gained a knowledge of its worth. Not a little of this valuable experience and knowl? edge the country boy gets on the old farm, un? der the tutelage of parents shrewd enough to see the end from the beginning, and to make the labor and grief of children contribute to the success of subsequent life.?Hearth and Home. Betrayed axd Deserti:d.?A case, illus? trating in a peculiarly sad way the folly of wo? man and the perfidy of man, came to light in this city on yesterday. The police learned that a young girl, a stranger, and one with but very little intellect, was at a house or ill-fame in this city in a totally destitute condition. A visit to the place by a Lieutenant of Police elicited the fallowing facts from the poor crea t ire, wl i h we pull-ah, omitting names only : The girl, who is apparently not more than fif? teen years of age, says that up to a month ago she lived with her pareuts in the village of Danbridge, Tennessee. In the same town re? sided a young man, a native of South Carolina, but who was studying law under a distinguish? ed practioncr in Danoridgc. The two met, the young man loved or feigned to love, and the innocent girl gave him her whole heart in re-, turn. One day about a month ago he inducod her to run away with him and the pair went to Knoxville and put up at a hotel, where her ruin was accomplished. Her brother, however, tracked them to Knoxville and attempted to kill tho seducer, but failed, and the lovers made their escape to Atlanta, where they remained two or three weeks. About the middle of last week the villain grew tired of his victim and came from Atlanta to Augusta?a short time before this taking from her a gold watch and chain, a ring and a handsome diamond pin. As soon as they reached the depot in this city he sent her to a hotel, promising to come him? self in a short time afterwards, and this is the last that has been heard of him. The girl went to the hotel, and then discovering that she was deserted and had not a cent of money, she took the advice that some one gave her ana went to a boarding house, the mistress of which hearing her story, treated her in the kindest manner and communicated her condition to the police. The Chief of Police telegraphed to her brother in Knoxville yesterday, stating that he could find his sister in this city.?Au? gusta Chronicle and Sentinel. ?
