She waits and listens. Footsteps fall She knows they are not his. She waits and listens for a sound That sweetest music is. He comes t And with a sudden thrill, And heart-beat loud and clear, She does notrhear, she does not see? She/ee? that he is near? And, coyly lifting to his face Her eyes of heavenly blue, She murmurs, in love's softest tones, "My darling, is it you?" ATTER. Again she listens. Footsteps reach And footsteps pass her door. She listens, but her needle flies More swiftly than before. She hears at length the tread that time And cares are making slow, And, with a start that sends her chair Hard rocking to and fro, Springs to the landing, and with voice More shrill than any lute's, She screams, above the baluster, "Augustus, wipe your boots I" Mr. Falmleafs Proposal. White and glistening like a mammoth bridal veil, the December sun lay overall the New Hampshire hills; dark and del? icate, like the tracery of lace work, the leafless woods held np their boughs against the dazzling winter sky?and the Reverend Peter Palmleaf, studying over an embryo sermon iu his own especial sanctum, glanced np where a blackbird was whistling in the casements, and thought to himself what a lovely world the Lord had made. When, all of a sudden, a shrill voice | called through the entry: "Peter, the horse is ready." "What horse?" asked the Rev. Mr. | Palmleaf. "Oar horse, to be snre 1" said Miss | Paulina, his sister. "What for ?" demanded the parson, staring through his near-sighted specta? cles at the door. "To take you to Mr. Barrow's." "Why am I going to Mr. Darrow's?" | further questioned the man of theology. "Well, I never I" said Miss Paulina, bouncing into tho study, with a yellow pocket handkerchief tied around her head, and her sleeves rolled in a business? like fashion np to her elbows, "Peter, you grow more moony and absent-minded every day of your life 1 Have you for? gotten our discussion at tho breakfast table ? Why you are going to Mr. Dar- J row's after a girl, to be sure!" "A?girl I" repeated "the young minis- j ter, dreamily robbing his forehead. "Oh, I do recall something of the conversa? tion. A hired girl." "Yes," nodded the lady briskly. "She's going to leave Mr. Darrow's this morn? ing, because the family is so large and the work so heavy. She can't find that fault with our establishment, I guess. Ask her how much wages she wants, and how old she is, and ask her whether she has any followers?and be snre yon bring her back with her bundles; as I must have her or some person to help me be? fore cousin Phiiinda's folks come from tie city." "Bat suppose she won't come ?" said the young minister, dubiously, fitting on the fingers of his gloves. "Then yon mast make her come," said Miss Paulina, hurriedly retreating to look after a certain kettle, which was noisily boiling over at the back of the house. And thus, charged with his mission, the Rev. Peter palmleaf got into the one horse cutter and jingled merrily away. Mr. Darrow's farm house nestled under a hill, in the protecting shadow of a cluster of evergreens, with a green fence in front of it, a red barn at the rear, and a colony of pigeon-houses at the sunny Southern angle; and Mr. Darrow him? self, a ruddy-faced, elderly man with a fringe of white whiskers around his chin, was shoveling away the pearly masses of snow in front of his door. "Eh 1" said Mr. Darrow leaning on the handle of his spade, as the bells jingled up in front of his gate, and then stopped. "How ? Why, it's the minister I Good j morning 1 That there Sunday sermon o' yours was a masterpiece. Me and J Squire Sennez?" "Yea," said Mr. Palmleaf, leisurely I alighting, and tying the horse to tbej post. "But I have called on business this morning." For Mr. Palmleaf was emphatically a man of one idea, for the time being, the "hired girl" had chased all theology out of his head. "Eh 1" said Mr. Darrow ; "business "I've come after a young woman, said the minister. Mr. Darrow dropped the spade in the middle of a snow drift. "Do you mean Dolly ?" he said. "If that's her name?yes," asserted the minister, solemnly. "You don't mean that?it is to be an engagement ?" cried Mr. Darrow. "Well, yes?that is, if wo suit each other," said Mr. Palmleaf, mildly. "Jerusalem I" said Mr. Darrow, who had always heard that Mr. Palmleaf, like most men of genius, was an "eccen trie," but had never realized it before "Have you spoken to her?" "Certainly not I" answered Mr. Palm? leaf. "Of course I shouldn't think of such a thing without seeing you first. "Very straight forward of you, I'm sure," said the farmer. "But, of course, I can have no objection, if Dolly herself is suited. Though," and he smote one red-mitted band upon his knee, "now I come to think of it, you've never seen Dolly." "No 1" said the minister serenely "But that need make no difference." "Jerusalem!" again uttered the farm? er. "It wasn't the way I used to look at things when I was a young man." "Tastes differ," said Mr. Palmleaf, a little impatient at this lengthened dis? cussion. "Oh, of course you can see her," said Mr. Darrow. "She's in the dairy, skim ming milk. "Dolly 1" raising his voice to a wild bellow. "Here's the Reverend Mr. Palmleaf wants to see you ! There's the door, just to the left, sir." And, in his near-sighted way, the min? ister stumbled into Farmer Darrow's dairy, where a rosy-cheeked girl, with jet black hair, brushed away from a low, olive-dark brow, and eyes like pools of sherry wire, was skimming the cream from multitudinous milk pans into a huge stone pot. '"Young woman," saik Mr. Palmleaf. turning his spectacles npon her amazed face, do you want to engage yourself?" '^3ir ?" said Dolly, her spoon coming to an abrupt standstill amid the wrinkly and leather-like folds of the cream on a particular pan. "In other words," explained Mr. Palm? leaf, do you want a good home ?" "Indeed, sir, I never thought of such a thing I" said Dolly, all in a flurry. "How old are you ?" questioned Mr. Palmleaf. "I am eighteen," said Dolly, in some confusion. "Have von any followers ?" "Sir?""fluttered Dolly. "Beaux, I mean," elaborately explain? ed the clergyman. "Of course I havn't," said Dolly, half inclined to laugh, half to be angry. "Then I think you'll suit me," said Mr. Palmleaf, "or rather my sister. Our family is net large, the work is light, and Paulina is 3 most considerate mistress. Get your bundle." "My?what?" said Dolly, in a bewil? derment. "Your clothes. I am to take you back with me immediately," said Mr. Palm leaf. "Paulina expects company. It is essential that we obtain help at once." Dolly Darrow looked up with cheeks crimson like any rose, eyes full of deep brown speckles, and lips around which danced a perfect galaxy of dimples. "Wait a minute, please," said she. "Certainly," said Mr. Palmleaf. And he sat down on a wooden stool in the corner, and fell to meditating on the "thirdly" of his uncompleted sermon, while Dolly sped up stairs, three steps at a time. "Father," cried she, flying in the pres? ence of her parents, "the minister has mistaken me for Bridget?" "Eh?" said Mr. Darrow. "You don't tell me," Baid Mrs. Darrow. "And he wants to hire me," said Dolly, her eyes gleaming with fun. "And I'm going. Quick?where's my hat and shawl; and mufflers ?" Mrs. Darrow rose up in the majesty of her black silk gown and gold watch chain. "Dorothy Darrow," said she, "you're never going to hire as a servant." "Yes I am," said Dolly. "It's better than private theatricals. He's so nice and absent minded, and Paulina is a jewel 1 Oh, make haste or he'll be tired of waiting." And Dolly succeeded in carrying her point. Fifteen minutes later she had got into the cutter, with a parcel which Mr. Falmlef stowed snugly away under the seat, and the minister drove home with Beeret exultation. Miss Paulina was in the kitchen fry? ing sausages for dinner, when Dorothy walked in, with cheeks like carnations, hair blown all over her face, and the bundle under her arm. "Here I am Miss Palmleaf," said she. "The hired help at your service!" Miss Pauline stared. "Why, it's Dorothy," said she. "And I sent Peter after"-. "Yes, I know," said Dolly brightly. "But Bridget was gone, and he mistook me for her, and he bos engaged me to work here. And, oh, Miss Paulina, please don't undeceive him. Because I am a smart little housekeeper, and I can help you just as much as any Irish girl could. Just give me a trial; that's ail." Miss Paulina had a shrewd apprecia? tion of a joke; her hard features relaxed with a smile, as she stood looking down at the radiant little brunette. "Well," said she, "I don't mind if I do." For one month Dorothy Darrow offici? ated as hired girl at the parsonage. Then she came to the clergyman one day: Mr. Palmleaf looked up in amazement and dismay. "I hope Dolly," said he, "that neither my sister nor I have unwittingly offended you?" ''No!" said Dolly, patting her little foot on the staring green leaves in the study carpet, "but oh, Mr. Palmleaf, I have done wrong, and I earnestly beg your pardon ?" "Dolly ?" cried out the Reverened Pe? ter, in mild surpriee. "Because you are bo good and true," sobbed the girl. "I am not a hired girl and J only came here for a joke, and can't bear to think I'm de-de-deceiving you." "And Dolly began to ciy piteously be? hind the corner of her apron. "You came here for a joke, eh ?" said the minister. "Y-Yes I" confessed Dolly, behind her apron. "Well, then," said the minister, gently drawing her toward him, "suppose you stay in earnest ?" "Sir?" faltered Dolly. "My dear," said Mr. Palmleaf, "I have got used to you around the house. I should miss you terribly if you should leave us. Do you think I am too old to think of a blooming young wife like you?" "Not a bit!" cried Dolly indignant 17 "Old?you!" "Do you think you could love me a lit? tle bit ?" "A great deal," said Dolly, laughing and blushing. "Then you will stay with me always?" and Dolly promised she would. Everybody wondered how so bashful a man as the Rev. Mr. Palmleaf ever mus? tered courage for a proposal; but no? body knew that that "engagement" be? gan for a joke turned out in sober earn? est. Only a Mechanic. We once saw au active industrious house carpenter bearing a lasting grudge against a certain person, because, in speaking of some matter of a public na? ture, he said of this carpenter, "His opinion or influence is not worth much ; he is only a mechanic." In the minds of certain persons there may be a classi? fication of individuals according to pro? fession or occupation. Very weak-mind? ed, inexperienced young men, or thought? less girls, whose training has been defec? tive, may turn up their noses at men be? cause they are only mechanics. They forget that the greatest men, *the bene? factors of our race, have been mechan? ics. Hugh Miller, Benjamin Frank? lin, Fulton, Arkwigbt, McCormick, and a host of other men whom the world has delighted to honor, were only humble la? borers, and were, no doubt, often taunted for their mechanical calling. The most useful inventions and the greatest im? provements have been made by persons who were only mechanics. As a class they are no more worthy of reproach than merchants or farmere. It would be well for Spartanburg me? chanics to look around and see what they are doing to turn away these reproaches. In the long run, a person will be esteemed according to his true worth. The dray? man, who receives only fifty cents a day, may stand higher in the estimation of his neighbors than some who set them? selves up as somebody. There are mechanics who are unworthy the name they bear, and these perhaps give char '? acter to the class. The man begrimmed with smoke and dust in the machine shop is just as much respected by good and sensible people as if he stood beb i ud a counter or had an office. A mechanic may deserve all that cau be said against him and not try very hard either. Let him run down the work of his fellows, let him constantly fret and chafe because he has to work with his bands, let him eternally complain of his hard lot, let him spend his nights and holidays around bar-rooms and disreputable houses, let him neglect all the higher duties of life, and very soon he will merit the worst that can be said about bim. Such men as these tend to bring disgrace on any calling or profession. It is the duty of our resident mechanics to reflect honor on themselves and their trades. This they can do by a proper respect for them? selves. If they are faithful in the per? formance of all their contracts, if tbey spend their spare dollars for beautifying their homes and furnishing their families with good reading matter, if they im? prove and progress in their business, if they seek such company and associations as will tend to their improvement and self-respect, it will never be said of such ?they are only mechanics.?Carolina Spartan. A Tisit to the Penitentiary. Iu company with a friend from Charles? ton passing through on his way to the up-country, we strolled towards the Pen? itentiary on Sunday afternoon, and at the entrance of the guard room found Colonel T. J. Lipscomb, the Superinten? dent, and Mr. George Shields, one of the Directors, who kindly permitted an in? spection of the grounds and buildings within the enclosure. Accompanied by these gentlemen, we began the detour, and the first thing which attracted our attention was the splendid-looking fel? lows who composed the guard, all of whom have been selected with especial care by Colonel Lipscomb, who has them thoroughly disciplined and in a fair way to become sharpshooters. Whenever the commandant passed one of them he was greeted with a quick military salute executed with nice precision, which was in like mannner recognized. The convicts were receiving their sup? per, preparatory to the lock-up for the night, in gangs of fifty or more. They were marched into the dining room, where were rows of tables capable of seating ten men each, and at a signal from the officer they began their repast, sigualing by uplifted hand when desir? ous of anything. After eating the gangs were marched quickly to the cells and the bolts ?hot in the locks. The grounds of the institution are be? ing nicely graded and arranged to per? fect a thorough drainage, and neat gran? ite copings have been laid around the edges where necessary. The Superintendent then invited an examination of the hospital and its ac? commodation. The institution is re? markably free from sickness, none of the few in hospital (seven in number having been put there from any cause in the remotest degree attributable to causes arising from their confinement. We received an introduction to the young physician of the penitentiary, Dr. Pope, who, however, was too intent on business to do much more than acknowl? edge the same, and we proceeded around the cots viewing the inmates. One black fellow contentedly sitting up in bed we found, upon investigation, with an ugly gun-shot wound through the right thigh, received, we believe, while attempting a burglary in Williamsburg County. Another convict with his head covered up we were told was a confirmed paralytic. A negro braced up on his elbow in one of the cots, recently re? turned from the asylum, appeared in a fair way to recover. A white man sit? ting on a stool attracted our notice on account of his intelligent look and pa? tient demeanor, and upon inquiry ascer? tained that he was suffering badly with rheumatism. The poor fellow extended his left arm, showing an evident improved condition of what must have been a bad rheumatic member. Then, baring his right leg to the knee, he exposed the knee cap which was very much inflamed and below the limb attenuated and shrunken away greatly. This man is a life prisoner, under sentence for murder, and upon being directed by Col. Lips? comb to speak, said, that he had been kept in a cell manacled with a ball and chain under the former administration of the institution, but that as soon as Col. Lipscomb took charge his irons were knocked off and he was transferred to the hospital, ever since which he has been on the mend. Leaving the sick, we entered tho com? missariat store room. Here were hung upcompact, well-made buckets for the use of prison, piles of striped cotton clothes ready for wear, stacks of excel? lent shoes made at a cost of ninety-four cents per pair, a forest of brooms put up in packages of a dozen, at $1.75 per dozen equally as good as these of Northern make, and numerous other handiwork of the couvict labor. Here also we noticed neat stained poplar wardrobes, which the Superintendent says he can supply those in need of for five dollars apiece; they are fitted up with drawers, pegs and all the necessary fixtures and are very cheap at the price, enabling many persons to enjoy the lux? ury and convenience of such a piece of furniture who could not possibly pur? chase one at the fancy price of the deal? ers in furniture. Leaving the commissary, we entered a handsome new two-story wooden build? ing erected for the accommodation of the guard. A room at the foot of the stairs will serve as a reading and writing room. The next apartment is for the sleeping apartment of the Captain of the guard, and beyond that a central room for the new commissary. The end apartment? the west end, as it were?is where the boys will take their hash and whatever else a scant appropriation will allow tbem to iudulgc in. Con? nected with the dining room is a square pantry and scullery. The upper floor of this building will be divided up into twenty rooms 8 by 12 feet, with sleeping accommodations in each for two guards. Descending to terra firma Mr. Shields called our attention to the foundations of the three-story brick building which is to be erected as a machine shop to be leased as a manufactory in which the convict labor can be utilized. Eighty thousand bricks were required for the foundations. Near by were numerous iron base plates, column caps audpiutles for the supporting columns of. the floors the hewn timber for which was plied up ready to be turned. Several propositions have been handed in for the immediate use of this building and the labor which will go with it, among them one shoe factory and another for a stocking factory. After a pleasant walk about the grounds, looking at other objects of in? terest, we wended our way out of the prison walls, stopping, however, long enough to notice the new white number? ing of the cells, whereby they may be the more readily distinguished at night. Colonel Lipscomb has also contrived re? flectors in connection with the yard lights, which light up the whole face of the galleries and make the watching as certain as during the day. Thanking our escort for their courtesy we emerge from the prison bounds, with many sad reflections upon the perverse human nature which will unhesitatingly plunge itself into incarceration, perhaps forever, rather than obey the behests of the almighty and the laws of man. A striking commentary on the comparative criminality of the two races in South Carolina is the fact that only forty-six of the seven hundred convicts whose names are enrolled are white.?Columbia Register._ Ppoducts of Coxvict Lador.?Some interesting facts in relation to labor have been prepared by Superintendent Wright, of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to this expert the number of convicts in 1878 in all the State prisons of the Union was 29.1C7, of whom 13.1SG were employed in mechan? ical industries. The greatest number was in New York and the smallest number was in Rhode Island, very naturally, tho one being the largest and the other about the smallest State iu the Union. At the rate of forty cents per day, which was the average, the wages and earnings of convict3 for the whole year amounted to $1,624,515. At $2 per day, which is the average price of similar labor outside of prisons, these samo men would have earned $8,121,576 according to Mr. Wright. The products of prison labor, if we take the labor at $2 per day, did not exceed $20,000,000 in 1S78, while the products of all the mechanical industries of the United States amounted to five thousand millions. The Cook not to Blame.?Many nice delicacies are spoiled by the abom? inable flavorings used in them, and gen? erally it is attributed to the cook. Now if Dr. Price's Fine Flavorings are used, nice dishes will not be spoiled, as they always impart their delicate fresh fruit flovor in whatever they may be used. The King's Mountain Centennial. Nothing contributes more to that revi? val of national sentiment at the South, which is now one of the chief objects of American statesmanship, than the patri? otic celebration of those glorious achieve? ments in the first revolution which were accomplished by Southern men upon Southern soil, and the memory of which links our State pride with the glory of the Union. It is therefore fortunate that the meeting which was held at King's Mountain on the 25th of July, to organ? ize for a Centennial celebration of the battle which occurred there on the 7th of October, 1780, was composed of men of influence and intelligence, and that the measures they adopted were such as are best calculated to accomplish the end in view. The battle of King's Mountain was one of those abnormal contests which so fre? quently occurred during the revolution, each one of which illustrates what the results of the revolution itself proved, the inadequacy of military science, even when supported by numbers and courage, to overcome the advantages given by ardent and reckless patriotism and a thorough knowledge of the scene of operation. The british and their Tory allies were superior in number to the patriots, and occupied a vastly superior position, and their commander, Col. Patrick Ferguson, was an exprienced officer and a man of undaunted courage. But the Americans divided themselves into three parties and attacked from three different directions. The first that attacked him Ferguson charged with the bayonet and drove down the hill, but in so doing he exposed himself to a heavy flank fire from the second party, and when he turned on them the first rallied and the third joined in the fray. In a hand to hand encoun? ter Ferguson was killed by Col. Williams, his troops became disheartened, and see? ing they were out-Generaled and sur? rounded, surrendered, as they bad fought according to rule. It was a fight of which the conquered bad no reason to be ashamed, but of which the victors were justly proud, and which the decendants of those victors may well celebrate as a glorious event in the history of their country. The plan of organization for the King's Mountain Ccnteanial proposed by the meeting, embraces the seven States of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. An Executive Com mitteee was appointed, headed by Col. Asbury Coward, whose position as the the head of the King's Mountain Milita? ry School and his military training and personal popularity and influence emi? nently fit him to perform'.effectively the duties of that office. There are also Committees on invitations and corres? pondence, on troops, on police, on trans? portation, on ways and means, on his? torical records, on a monument and on preparations of tho grounds, on all which appear the names of men of ability and influence. It was determined to memo? rialize the Legislatures of the seven States already mentioned for such assis? tance in the celebration as^they may see fit to give, and, in short, a most thorough organization was effected of all interes? ted in the patriotic object of the meeting and there is every reason to expect the King's Mountain Centennial to be the greatest American celebration ever held by Southerners.?News and Courier. Tbue Economy.?Here we have for our biscuits, cakes, -etc., Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, which chemists i and physicians have decided to be pure 'and healthful, and yet thousands of pounds of adulterated baking powders are used annually, simply because they are cheaper. Consider the heath first? this is true economy. Litttle Bock Gazette: The colored people of Doreey county have prayed very earnestly for rain. Tho leading church engaged in this species of orison labor, not considering itself well enough supplied with members, sent over into an adjoining county and borrowed a few, agreeing to pay a heavy interest in hymn books. Even this failed, but the cow of emergency was taken by the horns when tbe preacher issued the following pro? clamation : "We'se bound for to have enough members in dis church to meet do occasion, and I hereby sets my hand and seal to de artickel what say 'all col lured persons, respectable or otherwise in dis county, and counties jinin, is de? clared members of dis church till after do next tain.'"

Language is as in? sufficient to describe the relief i obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it Is to convey an adequate Idea of the intensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, i abandoned all other remedies and coutinued the use of your Ex? tract of Stillingia, until i can sav truly. "i am cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this re? markable cure, without any return of tho disease. For the truth of the abovo statement, i refer to any gentleman In ltartow County, lia., and to the members ol the liar of Cherokee Circuit, who arc acquainted with me. i shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, your obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON, Att'y at Law. A MIRACLE. West Toist, Ga., Sept. IC, 1870.

Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. Tho cose was then pronounced ono of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, nud the case considered hopeless, 1 was Induced to I try Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract of Stillin? gia, and was so well satisfied with Its effects that I havo continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six ' years before sho sat up or even turned over with? out help. She now sits up nil day, and sews most of her time?has walked across the room.
