" Yes, Mrs. Hardy." said tho doctor,
glibly, with a parting low. "tic (irons,
as licforc, for yourself; and for the
little girl, this proscript ion, according
to the directions."
" Yes, and I'd like to know where
the medicine is coining from V'"
(.'rumbled her liusbund, the moment
the doctor was safely down stairs.
"I'm dead broke myself, and these
druggists, confound 'cm, wouldn't
trust a man like me to save the child's
life t"
" Is the money all gone asked Mrs.
Hardy, timidly.
" Yes. all ffnnt! -cvoi'v cent. W'hv
don't you say I'vospent it ally" rotortod
John Hardy, with a sneer. "It
don't cost anything1 to support a wife
and child?sick ones, at that! Oh,
no of course not! Baker's hills,
butcher's hills, and, worst of all, i
doctor's hills, and houso-rent, too. 1
fool tempted sometimes to give up."
What this threat implied, Mrs.
Hardy did not exactly know?it jnay
be questioned whether ho did himself
hut its unknown horrors were always
quite enough to terrify her into submission,
wore she disposed to find any j
fault with John.
Sho knew quite us well as he did
that t wo-thirds of his wages wore spent;

appetite which had changed their
cheerful, pleasant home into a cold,
dark, ? heerloss garret, whose totter- 1
ing walls were hardly a shelter from
wind and storms.
" I was .'ending yesterday," pursued
Hardy, taking down his ragged coat.,
and thrusting one trembling hand into
its tattered sleeve, "that the cursed
extravagance of women has readied
such a pitch, that men ai'O getting
afraid to marry. And I don't wonder
they are."
It would have been quite useless for
Mrs. Hardy to remind Iter husband
that the amount he spent in strong
drink every day would have bought
her a decent dress, He was determined
to consider himself an ill-used
and unfortunate being, and imv efforts
of hers to convince him that the fault
was his own, would only provoke his
most violent anger. So she only drew
the scanty covering of the bed more
closely around her, and turned her
head wearily on tho pillow to hide the
tears that sprang to her eyos. t
Quietly as it was done, the movement
disturbed tho sick cbild beside
her, who stirred uneasily in her sleep
with a restless moan.
" Maggie," said her fathor, bending
over her, "Maggie, wake up! Don't
you know me ?"
The violet eyes llew open with a
startled look, and lixed themselves on
John Hardy's faro.
" Pupa," she said, with a look of recognition
dawning in her face, " I've
hud such u beautiful dream?nicer '
than any story 1 ever hoard. 1 dreamed
it was Chritiuns, papa, and the
room was all warm and bright, and
hung with beautiful garlands of
(lowers. And a band of shining angels
Hew down into the room, with wings i
that shone like silver : and they snog, j
too, sueh sweet songs, and while they J
wore singing, you woke me up : and
the beautiful songs and pleasant
dreams are all gone: and I'm so tired.
papa, and so cold." And she turned
away with a shiver.
Dulled as his facult ies and emotions
woro, there wuft yet one redeeming !
feeling left?love for his child?his 1
sunny-haired Maggie.
What if the child were very sick ? j
what if she should die?
' I'm afraid she's very sick, John,"
said Mrs. Hard}-.
''Oh, no, I guess not!" answered,
John. Ht.itlintr the. nnoasv fear at his
heart. " You can't toll much about
children: they always seem worse
than they are. Hut 1 guess I'll go
round to Aiken's : they say he's going
to start a now daily, and he won't
refuse to give an old friend a chance
in his oinco, I'm sure. If ho will!
advance mo a small sum, 1 can buy the !
medicine for Maggie, and have a trilie 1
lest to buy her a Christmas present, j
1 will get Amanda to come up and sit 1
with you while I am gone."
He spoke without harshness, almost I
with gentleness, and under the inJlueneo
of the fear that was upon him,
closed the door softly, and, with ii careful
step, quite unlike his usual shuttling
tread, ascended the rickety stairs.
A slatternly-looking girl in slippers
was loaning over the banisters, absorbed
in a dime novel.
A door, half-open, disclosed a dirty
break fast-table., with table-cloth askew,
and two or three dirty-faced
children were quarreling over their j
breakfast.
Evidently the girl had left the room j
for the purpose of enjoying her literary j
feast undisturbed.
"Amanda," said ho, "I wish you
would go up stairs, and sit with Mrs.
Hardy. 1 am going to work, and she
is too sick to be left alone."
Mrs. Jones, administering a maternal
rebuke to her eldest son and heir,
in tho form of a vigorous cufT upon a
pair of very dirty cars, heard tho
request, and stepped forward.
" Yes, go right along, Mandy. I'm
going over to yer aunt Jane's to spend
the day, and t'11 take all the children.
So you can go as well as not."
Amanda, without taking her eyes
from the hook, gave anafHrmativo nod.
It was a most interesting incident in
the narrative, where the heroine
Alsada, after slaying a gorilla and
seven savages with her own delicate
hands, was about to make her cscano
by riding through the jungle on the
hack of a wild panther.
She would not go up yet. She just
wanted to see what befell Alsuda and
the panther. So she sat down on tho
lowor step, while frequent skirmishes
took place between the boys across
the break fast-table. In the meantime
the valiant Mrs. .lones'marshallcd her ;
forces with the air of a major-general
conducting a soige.
" And, Mandy," was her parting injunction,
"be sure you look up tho
front door, and go right up stairs tho
minute I'm gone."
And Amanda, having seen her heroic
Alsada safely through the jungle, pro
mised compliance.
lint alas ! for humun resolutions!
And alas 1 for us, for whom the Tompter
Hob in wait at ovory stop upon
lifo's pathway ! Scarcely had Alaada
emerged from the depths of the jungle,
still mounted triumphantly on the
panther's back, when the infuriated
creature bore her directly into a
pirate's cave, whore tho bloody chief
of the buccaneers V an just pledging his j
comrades in a goblet made from a
human skull, and briining with raw
brandy.
Who could withstand such a tempt,a- |
tion ? Not Amanda. So she sunk !
into tho nearest rocking-chair, and'
hung with breathless interest over its
classic pages.
Meantime, the air grew dark with
murky clouds, thick snowtiakos wore
whirled hither tfnd thither by the
resistless rush iiml roar of the winter
wind, which rattled the loose easements
and handed the blinds and
whistled its shrill note of defiance to ,
tin warmth and eo/.iness of Christmas n
firesides into every erovico and key- j
hole. j
Outside, there were all sorts of merry
preparations uointr on for the Christ-I
IHUH, tliat would be hero to-morrow - .V<
alt sorts of people carrying all sorts of tl
bundles*, express wagons bloekudod
the erowdod streets: and although d
everylnwly was jostled, and squeezed t<
and erowdod, without merry, every- Is
Imdy retaliated with smiles, instead of o<
frowns;* for that spirit of peace and si
good-will which a little child had si
brought to the world, eighteen hun- 11
dred years ago. was alive in every y<
heart." y
Inside, the clock kept up its mono- Hl
tonous tiek. tlek, and the cat, relieved I1
for a brief time from the persecutions
of the little Joneses, was trying to recall
a long-forgotten purr, to do honor
to the approaching holiday.
And Amanda, oblivious to all around,
and unheeding the flight of time, road '
on.
****** ti
"Where are you, mamma?" and
little Maggie's had crept feebly over
the tattered counterpane. ^
" Here, my darling."
" 1 am cold, mamma?so cold I can
hardly feel your cheek. When will 0
papa come? And hark! what are V'
those bells ringing for?"
" It in twelve o'clock, and they uro 11
ringing in tho Chritnias morn, dear." v{
"Why don't papa come? I am so '
tired?I wish ho could carry ino in his
arms once more, as ho did when 1 was J1
a baity. Take mo up, please.''
The poor mother tried to raise her, J'
but her feeble strength was insufficient
for the task. ?'
The strong cigar radiance of a full .
moon poured through the curtuinlcss
window, and lay like a sea of splendor !'
around tho form of tho dying* child.
" Como closer, mamma: I cannot seo
you." 11
c<
Tho blue eyes were wide open, but
Ilxod in a meaningless stare, and her |,
mother saw that ore the sound of the S(
Christmas chimes should die away tho
childish soul would wing its upward
tlight to One who had declared that (.
"of such is tho kingdom.'" I
"Come closer, mamma?closer yet; ; tl
sing to me." j p
Sho smothered the sob that rose to ' tl
her lips, and in a clear, but tremulous e<
voice. sane the li?mn :
" When it is morning." tl
''Sing louder," whispered tlio dying : ii
child : " I cannot hear you." \
She obeyed, but Maggie hoard her c
not. The numbness of death was | b
creeping over her senses, the violet | o
eyes grew dim, then closed again : the h
saintly soul was out of prison. Little g
Maggio was dead ! j S
At daybreak, John llardy staggered fi
up the stairs that led to his wretched ' d
home. 11
''Don't ho afraid, Margaret!" lie ! 11
called out, as ho opened the door. " I
haven't been drinking this time : l'vo b
done with that, please God, forever. I .V
got the job I told you of, and all night -si
I've been working to get money enough A
to havo an old-fashioned Christmas 15
holiday. Something came over mo

And here is a present for Maggie. '
See what papa has brought you, Mag- ^

lint when lie would have drawn
away the revering that hid the little
face, his wife detained him, with a n
feeble clasp.
"One mightier than we has spoken, 11
and the child obeyed llis voice," she 11
whispered. "Oh, John, be rccon- I il(
oiled!" .
She drew the ragged counterpane /
aside, and the morning sunshine fell \
like a benediction upon his bowed u
head, and threw a halo of brightness J1
over the golden curls and marble brow j11
of little Maggie.

A CHAPTER ON BRICKS. J
! ft
The Antiquity and Durability of tlic
Familiar Material. ^
The lirst authontic account of brick- n
making is in the Bible. 11 is some time st
after the deluge. We are told that w
"tho descendants of Noah found a plain w
in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt vi
there. And they said one to another, w
go to, lot us make brick, and burn them f,
thoroughly. And they made brick for w
stone and slime for mortar." al
That was at the beginning of the tl
building of the tower of Babel, about st
I,(MM) years ago. Excavations have gi
been made there in recent years. Tho si
ruins of the tower are 2,28(> feet in cir- , p
i-umiureiioo, u souu muss 01 eartu ami u
brick, rising to a height of 200 feet.
The slime used for mortar was of such p
a durable character that today one f<
brick can hardly be separated from an- h
other. Tho brlckmaking of the Isiaol- 1;
ites, in Egvpt, of which wo also read y<
in the Bible, was different front that in a
the plain of Shinar. Tho Egyptiuns li
used straw to mix with their clay, prob- 1 n
ably for the purposo of making tho >
bricks lighter. The Egyptian bricks t<
wore adobes, or sunbaked. p
The Assyrians, tho most powerful u
nation in old Bible times, used brick, o
mostly, as building material for their t<
cities'. Nineveh was built largely of u
brick, and upon each brick one or more 1<
letters were stamped. The city of Ban- tl
ylon was also built of brick. 'Jshe Bab- e<
ylonian brick, too, have letters stamped li
upon them, but tho lettorH are put on
in a dilforent stylo from those at Nine- g
voh. On the Assyrian brick tho let- p
tors were put on one side at a time, U
while on the Babylonian brick they b
wore put on together in a line, and o
these letters are history. They toll us si
that the city was built by Noouchad- h
uo/./.ur, son of Nebubatuchun. t<
The ancients made bricks in all n
shapes, to lit different parts of their li
buildings. Some woro square, some v
woro oblong, and some woro wedge- o
snapeu. in color, too, t.ncy wore all 11
shades, from the color of tho earth In t<
the sun-baked hrick to tho black, green ti
rod, blue, white and yellow in thokiln- 1'
burned, an shown by recent excava- tl
tlons. ai
Wo are told by Hoinur. 1 think, that tl
l'oseldon and Apollo built a wall o1
around the city of Troy. This wall h
was made partly of brick and partly of d<
rook. Tho city it-elf was built mostly v<
of brick of the sun-baked kind, except pi
tho royal palace and a few other build- L
ings, in which the uiatorial used was ai
stono. in
Dr. Schlieman, tho excavator of Troy, tl
found in the ruins of that city every h
evidence of its having been destroyed 01
by lire. The stones that had boon ex- h;
posed to tho llames when laid bare so In
that the air could strike them, would pi
crumble to nieces, while the brick had in
been burned s.? hard that tho atmos- it
pherc had no effect upon them, and 11
they were almost as good as new. al

lid he, "I've struck- and I'm still

nd wo killed more Hum th.it and put
300,000 on the pension list, and then it
)ok a million more to whip us, and so
ou can imagine what we eat; do now
ineo we have raised another crop."
.nd Captain Dick gritted his Confedrato
tooth and rolled his big Confcdrato
eyes all round in their sockets.
Well, wo have been utiiu/.cd at this
ist big strike and we did sympathize
ith the railroads and t he people who
jfTered, but we didn't feel very much
oncorned until the embargo on our
utormclons reached us. It is just as
'owderly said in 1 iis speech in Now
ork : " lOvory strike against railauds
is a strike against the whole
mntry. Our railroads arc so essonally
connected with the life of the
ution that when you stop one of these
rout arteries you stop the How of the
at ion's life-blood. Personally, 1 do
ot believe in strikes. I have always
ilvised against t hem."

aider, Debs, has the instinct of a
ruto. He would see thousands of
orkmen thrown out of employment

"Wo have done well to keop our
laces and our wuses those hard times,
>r wo are assured that our railroads
avc not earned a not dollar in the
ist six months. No, wo will not join
on." This strike is the outcome of
narchism. It comes from tho same

of Lincoln and Cat-Held and
Iayor Harrison and Carnot. It leads

of inter-state railroads, the regulation i oc

the fixing of the wages of railroad cm- j tli

(either by the federal government or , I"
by the State governments) of all the so
coal beds of the country, and to many w
other of the peculiar ideas of the It
Populist party. ti'
As was to ho expected tho great dt
railroad strike at Chicago was tho lo
chief topic in the debato. In a speech tl
of over an hour and a half Senator a.^
Poller stated the ease from the Debs ni
or striker's point of view, and laid all pi
the blame for tho outbreak on Mr. pi
Pullman, whom he characterized as w
soulless, conscienceless and tryannical. w
The eaus? of law and order and of the in
maintenance of free and unobstructed to

was championod by Senators Davis,
Republican, of Minnesota, and Cionlon. st
Democrat, of Ceorgia, botii of whom us
denounced, in eloquent and patriotic vt
language, tbo position taken by tbo o\
Kansas S? nator and the lawless acts w
of Dobs and bis followers. g'
A substitute for tbe I'effer resolution St
was offered by Senator Daniel, Demo- si
crat. of Virginia, upholding and com- ui
mending the olllcial action of tbe l'rc- in
sident and bis Cabinet. w
In tbe last two bours of tbo session
tbo post-< llieo appropriation bill and ti
tbo House bill for tbe admission of (N

with very little friction and tbe latter tli
without any at all. even without tbe el
yeas and nays being called upon its ai
passage. h?
Senator I'offer, in tbo course ofhis|l'<
speech upon bis resolution, said : " 1 | or

mornig; when nobody would be ut|n>
work ; when everything would l?e para- th
lyzod ami inert. And that was, he' j.,
said, what tiiis thing meant to the | th
American people. The time had come aj
for employers to learn how to handle j,j
the situation, by fair treatment of their \ m
met; and if they could not do that, it hi
wa time lor the people in their severe- th
ign capacity to interfere anil to say |n
that the thing has gone far enough? j
to say, "Thus far and no farther." to
Senator PelTor read and commented yt
upon the report of the interview he- 'jlt
tween delegates from the common hi
council of Chicago and the vice president
of the Pullman Company, Mr. y,
Wiokes: and lie repeated with words ac
of condemnation the final speech of ]l(
Mr. Wieki-s, "The Pullman Company w,
has nothing to arbitrate." Then he ' }u
spoke of the modern craze to teach to
the use of arms in the colleges, public m]
schools ami even, he said, in the SunI
day-schools, and he exclaimed passion- al]
ukui^, ib is tune inai in us militarism
should ceaso. If I am asked what wo ,|c
aro going to do when disputes aviso hi,
between employers and employes 1 rj
would say, " Keop your hands otY." w]
That is my advice, keep your hands tr
away from them. They will settle j)(
this thing themselves, and they will do ta
it without bloodshed. They will do it
without lining the torch. They will fa
do it without getting angry. They uc
will doit j lstlv, safely, wisely, prompt- ],j
ly. The very instant you begin to
call out the military arm in order to ta

Senator Davis, Itepublicnn, of Minne- fa

which betrayed intense indignation, or
that ho had' hoard with amazement t]|
anil pain much of Senator Potter's
remarks, lie had supposed that by ,,i

such a time might be construed into -y

Senator tlordon also spoke in a tone si
of defiance and indignation. Ho said :
"Mr. I 'resident, the Senator from

5 was early this morning in a coudi-1 '
m which prevented him from knowg
or caring much about anything. j,
lie had wandered away from homo, |
o, and his anxious wife and little 8 i
mi' old daughter did not know whore
) was. l3oth started out to look for
in, going In opposite (liroetions. The
tie girl walked down by the Lohigh
n11 ey Kuilroad truck, and thoro, lying
ross theruiis, iuu high out, slio found
sr father sound asleep. She tried to
ike him and get him to go home, hut
* merely pushed her away and told her
go home, that he was tired and want- ,
to sleep.
The child wound her arms about him
id tried with endearing terms to
use him, but it was useless. ttudnly,
as she was kneeling beside him,
e heard a familiar &ound a peculiar
nging of the rails. She knew well
hut it meant the morning passenger
ain, which every morning ran past ,
>r home, was flying down the mounin,
For a moment she didn't realize her (
ther's danger. Then as it flashed ,
ross her mind, she throw herself upon
in shrieking.
" I'upa, papa! Wake up! llulT a
iff is coming and you will be run
or. i'apa. papa, don't you hear?" (
I hit t lie father was inscnsiblo to
-cry t>mng. uesporately she grasped
in with her baby urmg, but hor innt
strength could not move him,
grin sho shrieked in his our, but lie
ily mumbled incoherently in his
unken sleep.
Then as the ringing of the rails gave
aee to a hoarse rumble and she reaped
that the heavy train was almost
ion thorn she fell upon his breast sobng.
His rod bandana handkerchief ;
as hanging from his pocket and she
ipod her eyes with it. Instantly a
lought Hashed through her mind,
lie had seen the railroaders atop trains
r waving a red Hag. In a moment.
io hud pulled the red handkerchief
om his pocket and was running as
st as hor little feet could carry her up
10 track.
She must have faMcn onee or twice,
i there are big bruises on hor hands
id knees, buf she kept bravely on.
irtunately the cut was short, and
iough tlie track eurvod into it, at its
id one could see up tho -track for a
ng distance.
Tho brave child just managed to
uch tliis spot as tho engineer was !
jwing up fertile curve, llo saw iter, i
w tho rod bandana whicli sho was i
obly waving and pulled a lover. '
here was a heavy jar on tlie passcn- i

loir seats. Tlio train slackened its 1
mod, tin-re wore more jars and it J
opped, and there at tho foot of the
w catcher of tho big engine stood the <
?
child crying with the pain of a cut in
hor hand.
Hurriedly the trainmen crowded
around her.
' My papu't* ttslcop back there," t>ho
explained. 44 and I don't. wnnt. Iiim to

Some of the trainmen ran forward
and lifted Frazor from the track and
aroused bim to a sense of hi* danger.
This partly sobered him, and when lie
realized what his daughter had done
ho hroko down and wo)>t.
Meanwhile the news had spread
through the train. A number of passengers
grouped around the child. One
took the red bandana, and when the
conductor a minute afterward shouted
" All aboard " it was given back to her
with something heavy inside, which
chinked like pieces of silver. Then as
the train pulled out of the cut the passengers
with their hands out of the
windows waved adieu to little Annie,
who was now being carried houioward
by her now half sobered father.
That is why Sam Frazor has signed
the pledge.

Governor Tillman took occasion in
the course of his speech in Darlington
County to make some very harsh re- i
marks in regard to Mr. John M. Waddill,
one of the original Tillmuuitos of
the State?the man who is said to have
twice carried his county for Tillman,
and who has figured in most of the !> foiuuconventions,
etc. Mr. Waddill was
U<>t permitted to reply at tlie time. He
has therefore written the following
open letter to the people of the State:
To the i'ublio : A few days ago (Iovernor
Tillman cowardly attempted to
hold mo up to the scorn of the people 1
of my country. 1 was denied the opportunity
to reply to this charge of his. '
The Governor denied culling mo by
name, hut his friends and coat-tail
swingers did it for him,
1 hud information of the matter the
day before, hence lie Is guilty of falsehood
and oowuudioo inthosuino breath.
My former advocacy of Tillman and
prominence In Alliance work and present
position cause me to become an object
of Tillman's hate and vindictivoness.
1 wish to retire from active participation
in politics, hut before L do I
want to put myself right before the i
people of Darlington county and the '
State at largo. Governor Tillman
charges mo with being in the pay of
Wall street. I sell Hour for .1. A. ().
Moore, broker, Darlington, and mm of
Tillman's host friends. I urnalsongent
for tho Homo Supply Association of
Chicago, Recause 1 will no longer
worship tho false and ugly God, Till- |
man, I am to bo slandered by this .Hellish,
mean fraud; for ho Is nothing hut
a fraud, a traitor to tho Reform Movement
and to tho Alliance.
One of tho first acts of treachery was
to tho Reformers of Darlington county
in making an appointment which wain
violation of his solemn pledge made !
in his first address at this place in 1S5K).
and reiterated to several gentlemen in
hisoflieo in Columbia. Then violation
after violauien of his pledges to the 1
Alliance at Spartanburg in I8SU, and
May convention, 185)2. Tillman is in
tbe interest and. I believe, in tho pay
of Tammany Rail. Tillman denies voting
for Hill at Ch icago I don't believe
he can prove it, and if ho does, he can
not disprove his advocacy of Hill before
the convention at Chicago, for he took
the delegation (all that he could inlluoueo)
one night to Tammany Wigwam,
where we were introduced to Croker,
Rourko, Cock run, Cununings, ct. ah.
who wined and eigurcd Tillman, and
if ho gets to tho Senate ho will only
have Hill to welcome him. He hasviiilied
and abused I'opulists, Democrats,
and Republicans alike. Tillman wrote
OHO of his henchman i
travoling in Kdgolield in tho interest i
of General Butler. Qouoral Butler was ;
kind to me in tho war and 1 prefer Butler
to Tillman, thereby no principle is
involved. Butlerisa bravo, honorable!
old soldier and an old soldier knows
how to moot such a man. Kxporieneo
of four years, often in contact with
Tillman lias lead mo to judgo him a
cold, selfish, cruel anil cowardly man.
I thought at tho time that 1 saw evidence
of bis cowardice at Florence in
18U2, and so stated to a few friends at
the time, and I have soon more evidence
of his cowardice at Chester and
Oats.
If tho Alliance of South Carolina will
support such a man, who plainly tells;
thorn why they can do so, I, for one, j
will draw the line right here and say I ;
will support Butler unlil a simonpuro i
AUianceman is put out. If tho truo
Alliancemon of Darlington county will
allow an oHieo holder, coat-tail swinger,
dependent on Tillman, to carry
thorn into a packed caucas to push aside
truo and tried Alliancemon for a shyster
lawyer, an eleventh hour convert,
why they can do it, but 1 will oppose
such methods and light such a candidate.
One word to the truo one-gall us
boys who followed Tillman on so blindly
and who swallow every word he says.
If you, the poor tenant white farmers,
who rent lands and to whom Governor
Tillman is so fond of appealing, if you
lived in Kdgclield near Governor Tillman's
tenantry place, and wanted land
of him, you could not get it. lie has
not a white tenant, all are negroes and
his neighbors say that he will not have
ii whit.o. mn.n on Uiu a....

is a man of integrity and high standing,
a descendant of I {evolutionary ancestors,

In conclusion I ask the Kefortners of
Darlington county, what has Tillman
done for you? I las he, out of his abundance,
contributed one cent to anything
hero? Our paper wentdown; did
hoover pay his subscription? lias any
lie form enterprise or work ever gotten
a cent from Lien Tillman; and in tho
least of the epithots east upon him, so
justly, cannot I add one more and say
Stingy lien Tillman? Who will follow
longer a aollish, cruel, cowardly and
stingy man, howovor able ho may be?
111 tho end he will disappoint us.

the machinery of the body into

and in consequence the entire
