niton i|n?pcei All is Well That Ends Well. Katharine Forsyth was a brave woman, else I should. not have this- story to write, but the terrible, wilderness of the- night, the furious lashing of the rain, the roar of the angry sea, made her falter for a moment upon the thresh hold before going out. The wind in that one moment whirled past her, and blew open the * half-shut library door, bringing her father from the room to see what had happened. "Katharine, you are not going out Vs in amazement. "Yes." . . . . There was certainly no hesitation in her voice, and something in her eyes made her father careful of hte next words. "Let me go if it is a necessary errand." "It is a necessary errand, but one which my father would not wish to attend to," she said, with her eyes looking straight into his. "A messenger brought me word five minutes since that Courtney Alcottfs vessell was upon the rocke at Bay Stone Point." "You will do nothing unwomanly, ? trust," Mr. Forsyth said, in real alarm now, as he took his rubber coat from the rack and hastily put it on. "You had better not go, father, if you are afraid of me," she said as quietly as before, though he saw well enough it was a forced 2uiet, "for I am afraid of myself to-night. >ne thing certain, if Captain Alcott lives to see me again, he will know that I love him, and that ;'t was no fault of mine that he thought differently six months ago." Mr. Foisyth fairly groaned. He had been so sure of ber, and so certain, only this very evening that she would accept his plans for uniting the house and the lands of the For syths and the Holworths, but now this plebian, that he hated as he hated poison, must come between him and his most cherished hopes. There are times when such a thing as author? ity with a parent is not, and cannot be thought of. This was the time. He must go with her, and while her face held that awful look, if he was a wise man there would be little said. It was a full mile to the Point, and they started out, silent and anxious. He hoped in his heart that the vessel would go to atoms, though he dared not think that he hoped so, though as he strode on beside his quiet daugh? ter, he had some doubts whether that event would mend the matter in the end. Katharine had, from her young girlhood?she was now twenty-three?been a most incomprehensible person to those who knew her best, and a year back she had reached the climax of incompre? hensibility by accepting, tacitly, the almost reckless adoration of Captain Alcott, who cared as little for her aristocratic Mood as any man living, but who would, almost if not quite, have laid down his. life, if need be, for the love of this woman. Katharine's father had managed to see him alone when he came to make his last call be? fore sailing, and in reply to the Captain's ques? tion if he would entrust his daughter to his j keeping, Mr. Forsyth had answered that he could not, because other plans were matured j for her, and Katharine was engaged to-day? i would he excuse her ??and had cowed him out J with all the politeness of an Earl, and the Captain had gone out to sea cursing the proud father who had stood between him ana the dearest hope he ever had, and almost cursing the proud daughter, too. Air. Forsyth had told his daughter of the interview, told every particular, without com? ment, because he was a little afraid not to let her know it, and she had received the intelli fence with equal reticence, which the father oped argued well, though for the life of him he could not tell whether it did or whether it did not. To-night he knew for a certainty where his daughter's heart was, and he knew as well he had little to hope for, unless Providence should favor him by opening the door into the next world for the suitor of his daughter. As they emerged from the grove of pines, which skirted the beach, the spray began to cut their faces sharply, and the whole fury of the storm seemed to strike them as it had not done before. "It is a dreadful night, Katharine, you had best return." "Hush 1" Her voice was strained. "I had rather by far drown in this hungry ocean here, than live to know that he had gone down." She did not usually go to her father or any one else with her heart secrets, but to-night she would have spoken to any one who had been near her, with but little heed as to who that person was. The wreckers were gathered together upon the sand with their boats/ropes, life preservers and everything needful, but nothing was being done, nothing could be done.they told Mr. Forsyth, and all the while came the boomI boom! boom I from the guns of the ill-fated vessel on the rocks, around which the sea was tugging, and drawing and surging, as if eager to swallow it up and be done with it at once. Katharine left her father's side and went up to one of the bravest of the men. 'How can you stand here. Is no one ready to go with you V she asked. "Yes, we be all ready enough, Miss, but the good Lord help the poor man who goes out to? night." Katharine said not another word, but thank? ing the "good Lord" that she knew how to handle both a boat and a pair of oars, she slipped through them, and before any one knew it, she had unfastend a boat, was in it, and going out swiftly on a receding wave to? ward the rocks and?him. The light flared on white faces enough when they found that a woman had gone out alone, and Mr. Forsyth gasped for breath, and nearly fainted when he really believed that it was true. The rest of that long night?and it seemed as if morning would never come?they paced up and down the beach, while the storm raged on, for not a man would follow the mad wo? man, though Mr. Forsyth offered them more money than most of them had seen at once in all their lives, if they would make the attempt. He could not row himself, and so half-crazed, knowing how well he loved his child, he had to endure, as best he might, the horrors of that time, which his heart told him would end in cer? tain death. One such hour will teach us more of ourselves than a common lifetime. Oh, if he had his treasure for one poor half hour now, how he would take her to his heart. They had distrusted each other for many days, but there was love, boundless stores of" it, in the depthB of their hearts for each other, he knew, and as he wrung his hands in agonies of dis pair, and cried out for his child, the rough men felt their own hearts breaking up, though they could not help him. At last, as the morning began to dawn, a life-boat was thrown upon the shore, scattering its freight of half lifeless bodies, but it was not Katharine's boat, and neither she nor the captain were among the number. There was work enough to do now, and it was done with a right good ?rill- The first one who could speak, said that all the crew had left the ship; that the captain had gone last, where or how, none of them knew, though one of them said, after a while, that he had a kind of half recollection of hearing the captain cry ?ut: "My God! Katharine I" as he swung over the ship's side, but he could tell nothing certainly, there nad been so much confusion when the ship commenced to go to piece:. In the middle of the forenoon the storm abated, and another boat made into the bay, with Captain Alcott on board, but though he nad thought ho saw Katharine the night before, he believed it to be only his imagination, and knew nothing of her now only what they told him, that she had gone out to save him if she could. In an hour after he had landed, he, with Mr. Forsyth, had taken a steam tug, and was off I after the woman who was probably lying at that moment fathoms deep beneath the cruel waves. Captain Alcott kept his own lookout and he had both heaven and hell in his head during that awful search, for if he did not find her, and his reason told him it was the merest folly to hope for such a thing, he would never forgive the man who stood close beside him at every turn, and whose worn, haggard face, was enough to move"a stone to pity. If he found her, if God would but hear and answer this, the most ter? ribly in earnest prayer that he had ever uttered in his life, it would make him a changed man for all that time. We make such vows in these dire straits which overtake U3 now and then, the worse for us if we do not keep them. The sun began to get low in the western horizon, and yet nothing. Would it be in vain ? Could he give her up now, just as he was certain of her love, and upon the very threshold of what might be bliss ? His eyes were straining far around in every direction. The hope and despair alternating in them mak? ing them dreadful to see. He was a strong man, but strong men love with fearful intensi? ty, sometimes, and love over a possible and probable grave is always more or less terrible. At last, after another hour, he gave such a start that Mr. Forsyth caught him, thinking he was about to plunge overboard. "Do you see that ?" he said, his face white as ashes, pointing off toward what appeared to be a mere spec upon the water. As for Katharine, God took care of her, as he does of us all when everything human fails. She had someway outlived the stormy night, and though drifting helplessly out to sea, her oars had been lost long before, she was alive, and kept up a faint courage until she knew that help was coming. When they lifted her on board she lay like one dead, and for hours afterward she only repeated deliriously in answer to her father or her lover: "You will let him drown, you will let him drown !" By the time Mr. Forsyth 8aw his daughter really saved, be was quite ready that she should become Mrs. Cantam Alcott, and as "All's well that ends well," the lesson was a good one for him, and one certainly not likely to be soon forgotten. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? Carpenters are not particular about their food. They are used to boarding houses. ? Don't marry a man who gets up early. Kbthing makes a person so insufferably con? ceited. ? To see how eagerly a human being will catch at a straw, it is not necessary to witness a drowning. The phenomenon is now mani? fest chiefly within saloons, where one end of the straw is immersed in a tumbler. ? Twenty-seven Nashville ladies determined to practice economy; vowed not to wear any? thing more expensive than calico dresses to church ; and they stuck to it, as none of them have attended church since. ? "Who goes a borrowin,' goesasorrowin'." More often it is "the other way up." Who goes a lendin' too often goes a sorrowin,' while who goes a borrowin' not unfrequently goes on his way rejoicing at his dexterity. ? We never respect persons who aim sim? ply to amuse us. There is a vast difference between those we call amusing men and those we denominate entertaining; we laugh with the former and reflect with the latter. ? It has been determined in Iowa that "no true gentleman will fix a trap-gun in his corn crib, and thus be the means of sending some unprepared soul into eternity;" but, on the other hand, a corn-crib has certain rights which must be respected. ? It was a telling speech of Boundinot, the Cherokee representative at Washington, in which he said that this "land of the free" is the common heritage of the white and black races, while the original owner cf the soil alone is an alien in the land of his birth. ? The people of Alabama propose to dodge mixed schools by the direct distribution of the funds to parents, regardless of color. This of course would abolish public schools, and leave the parents free to choose whatever private institutions they please. ? Here is the pithiest sermon ever preached*: "Our ingress into life is naked and bare; our progress through life is trouble and care : our egress out of it we know not where; but doing well here, we shall do well there; I could not tell more by preaching a year." ? A gentleman speaking of a friend who was prostrated by illness, remarked that "he can hardly recover, since his constitution is all gone." "If his constitution is all gone," said a bystander, "I do not see how he lives at all." "0," responded the wag, "he lives on the by laws." ? There is nothing which so tends to shorten the lives of old people and to injure their health as the practice of sitting up late, es? pecially Winter evenings. This is especially the case when there is a grown up daughter in the family. We publish this item at the ear? nest request of several young men. ? A keen-witted servant girl in Troy, New York, told the milkman the other day that he gave his cows too much salt. "How do you know that?" said the milkman. "Sure I kin tell by the milk that they dhrink too much wather entirely 1" said the girl. The milkman c"rove off in a hurry. ? A Milwakee paper says of a literary gentle? man of that city: "The subdued light or those mild blue orbs is indeed the slumberiug fire of geniu^. He is also a very good young man. With the exception of a few games of marbles played on Sundays while a boy, his life has been without reproach." ? "What are you hallooing about, Bill ?" said a mother at the stair-foot, one evening, after her two boys had been put to bed. "Please, mother," said Bill, "Jem wants half the bed." "Well," says she, "let him have it, and you take the other half." "Yes, mother," says Bill, "but he will have his half out of the middle, and make me sleep on both sides of him." ? A little fellow, five or six years old, who had been wearing undershirts much too small for him, was one day, after having been washed, put into a garment as m;ich too large tor him as the other had been too small. Our six-year-old' shrugged his shoulders, shook himself, walked around and finally burst out with: "Ma, I do feel awful lonesome in this shirt!" ? We wonder that history has been so neg? ligent regarding the dress worn by Pocahontas when saving the life of Captain John Smith. We suppose, however, that she wore a red stuff underskirt, bear-skin kilt, buffalo robe, cor? sage cut Pompadour, Scotch stockings and bead slippers. She probably wore her hair high, with feathers, puffs, and switches, pan? nier bouffant, and a diamond cluster ring?in her nose. ? A darky was once attempting to steal a oose, but a dog raised an objection, and Sam o retired. The next night during a thunder shower he attempted it again, and just as he was on the point of getting away with his fowl, the lightning struck close by, and the noise nearly frightened the poor fellow to death. Dropping the goose, he started away, muttering, " 'Peers ter me der am a mighty lot of fuss made 'bout a common goose." ? It is related of George Clark, the celebra? ted negrd minstrel, that, being examined as a witness, he was severely interrogated by the attorney, who wished to break down his ev? idence. "You are in the negro minstrel busi? ness, I believe?" enquired the lawyer. "Yes, sir," was the prompt reply. "Isn't that rather a low calling?" demanded the attorney. "I don't know but what it is, sir?" replied the minstrel, "but it is so much better than my father's that I am rather proud of it." "What way your father's calling?" "He was a law? yer?" replied Clark, in a tone of regret, that put the audience in a roar. The lawyer let him alone. 1 The Doctor.?A word for the Doctors. They are the hardest worked, most thoroughly abused and poorest paid people in the commu? nity. They wear out their horse flesh, their own flesh, and don't sleep of nights, all through the long year, to save suffering humanity from its aches "and pains, and when paying time comes, why somebody else has been ahead of them and swept the crop, and what little cash there was, clean out of sight. Some of them don't cure us much, it is very true, and perhaps some of them advance the burying season a good deal in some cases?but, as a rule, the Doctor is the family's most intimate and best friend. la our darkest hours they are with us, soothing and comforting the wearied, aching frame, and offering words of comfort and con? solation to those who stand, grief-stricken at the bedside of departing friends. They give us freely what no money can buy. Into the sick chamber they bring the fresh air of the outer world, and their cheerful conversation is frequently the best medicine they bring. Yes, the true-hearted Doctor, who lives up fully to the ethics of his noble profession, is one of the best friends we have, but as the poet says : God and the Doctor men alike adr.ro, Just at tho brink of danger, not before, Tho danger past, both alike requited, God is forgotten and the Doctor slighted. ? A cynical writer says: "Take a company of boys chasing butterflies; put long-tailed coats on the boys, and turn the butterflies into dollars, and you have a beautiful panorama of the world."

As to his success in the treatment of Eye diseases, ho invites attention to the following certifi ?ateS' ANDERSON, S. C, August 1st, 1873. This is to certify that I have been blind for the last three years, during which time I havo spent several hundred dollars in trying to obtain relief, the greater part of which I spent in Atlanta, Ga., under treatment of Dr. Hooton, without obtaining any relief whatever. I had almost despaired of evor being ablo to see, when Dr. J. W. Gurley informed me that my case was Cataract, and, by an operation, he believed that he could restore my sight. I consented, and on.the 17th of February last, he operated upon my eyes. On the seventh day after, I was able to distinguish objects at a distance. My sight has improved ever since, and now (Aug. 1st) feel that, with tho aid of my glasses, I can see as well as any person of my age (67), and am able to attend to all my business?which renders me a happy man, being brought from Darkness to Light. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Gurley to persons suffering with any disease of the Eye. MATTHEW SNIPES. ABBEVILLE C. H., S. C, May 13th 1873. Dn. j. W. GurTjEY?Dear Sir : I have been almost blind for quite three years, caused by Granular Ophtalmia, and genoral inflammation of tho Eyes. I was under treatment of Dr. Voorhees, (Ophthalmic Surgeon,) of Memphis, Tennessee, one year; and at the expiration of that time, found myself very little improved. I had about despaired of ever being able to en? joy perfect vision again, when my attention was called to your advertisement. I made up my mind to try your skill, hoping atleast to get rid of the terrible inflammation, which rendered me almost crazy at times. My hopes havo been more than realized within the remarkably short time of eight weeks. Tho inflammation is all gone?granulations very nearly so. The lids have resumed their normal appearance, and my sight is perfectly restored. I can read the smallest print with ease, without the aid of spectacles. I can recommend those suffering with any disease of the Eye to call on you at once. BENJ. E. BARKSDALE.
