The School of Lite.
My little boy cuine from his school to-day |
With his heart in a tlurry of glee :
"Oh, papal they've taken our pencils
away,
Anil I'm writing with ink !" saiil he.
And his breast is tilled with a manly
pride,
For it Joya him much to think
He has laid his pencil and slate aside,
And is writing his words with ink.
O innocent child! Could you guess the
truth,
You would ask of the years to stay
>1 ill the slate and pencil cares of youth.
That a tear will wash away ;
For out in the great hig world of men,
The wrongs we may do 01 think
Can never be blotted out again,
For we write them all in ink.
A iuron W iitt t'tmin.
A Defeated Conqueror.
Peoplo said 1 was the luekiost follow
living, and 1 uuito Indorsed their i
opinion, for I had not onl> entered
into possession of a decent little legacy
left mo by my uncle, but I hud also
won the band and heart of Ada Miller,
the prettiest and most charming young
lady in the whole county.
People said her fathor was immensely
rich, and that she would come
in for a handsome fortune at hi- death;
but what eared 1 about that V For had
1 not surticlent for us both, even if she
were penniless V And did I not love her
with the whole strength of a pure and
disinterested love? I cannot begin to
describe her to you, for the task hi
quite beyond me. Sullleo it to say
that she was admired by all who knew
her, and lovee by not a few.
The latter circumstances ceased to
disturb me when once I became her
accepted lover, though before that
time it occasioned me a great deal of
anxiety, and caused me to spend many
a restless night.
Of one lover in particular had 1 been
jealous, for to my excited and foarladen
magination he seemed to possess
everything that a young lady could
desire, lie was tall, broad-shouldered,
handsome, with a pleasing manner
and faultless dress, and in addition
to all this, he v.-as endowed with
more than an average share of this
world's goods.
Ho was madly in love with Ada, but
conducted his wooing in a way with
which not even his closest rival could
tind fault. Kind, considerate, and
gentlemanly, never obtruding hi* presences
unnecessarily, ho yet managed
to pav her considerable uttent ion, ami
many an anxious time did 1 spend,
fearing that his superior attractions
would put me iu the shade.
fate, however, decided otherwise,
for when I summoned up courage to
put my fortunes to the test, Ada shyly
accepted me, informing mo in a most
engaging manner that she had never
loved anyone else. You may be sure
that 1 was in ecstasies, and scarcely
knew for the next few months whether
I walked upon air or upon solid ground.
Our engagement was to last a year,
at the end of which time our marriage
was to take place.
The time had almost elapsed, and
nothing had occurred to mar the harmony
of the scene, when, quite unexpectedly,
something happened which
tilled me with the deepest horror, and
which causes mo to shudder even now
us I recall it.
It has partly to do with my rival,
Horace Kishton, whose existence for
the time 1 hail almost forgotten.
lie had received the news of our engagement
in an apparently calm and
quiet manner, and his subsequent behavior
had not led us to regard him as
being more than ordinarily all'cctcd byit,
hut in the event I am about to describe,
I was enabled to sec how deep
and tragic the elTcct upon him really
was.
1 no revelation came in this wise.
It wanted but two days to our wedding,
and 1 had occasion to goon a
little business connected with it to a
neighboring town, a place some four
miles distant from my home. Having
accomplished my errand, and linding
that I had some considerable tunc to
wait for a train, 1 resolved to walk
hack, so striking out, 1 soon left the
town behind me.
It was a tine moonlight night, and
as it promised to continue so, I determined
to take a short cut across the
country, which I reckoned would save
a quarter of an hour at the least. The
road would lie very lonely for it was
a path that was seldom used, Inil that
throubled 1110 little, ror my thoughts
were coin puny enough that night.
1 had gono Homowliero about two
miles wtien tho moon suddenly clouded
over, and I was left in comparative
darkness.
As I knew tho way, however, 1
thought nothing of it, but trudged
cheerfully along, thinking only of Ada
and our approaching union. Suddenly,
and without a moment's warning, tho
ground gave way from under my feet,
and I felt myself fallirg headlong
down, down into the depths of the
eartn. How far 1 fell I know not at
tho time?1' learned afterward that it
was about thirty feet?but I expected
instant death when I reached tho bottom,
and without doubt that would
have hein my fate had not tho bottom
of the hole been filled with water to a
considerable depth. This broke my
full, and also by its coldness restored
mo to my senses.
1 struck out on coming to tho surface,
and swam around to find something
to which I could hold on. After
a considerable time spent in searching,
during which the full horror of the
situation began to dawn upon me, I
at list discovered a piece of woodwork
lixeu in tho side of the pit.
This I eagerly grasped, and, resting
partially on it with half my body in
the wuter, I began to consider my
position.
1 knew at once the place into which
1 had fallen, and as the knowledge
Hashed u jross my mind I cursed myself
for i aving been so careless as to
stumble nto it. It whs an old, disused
shaft w> eli had been tin
tlons. Nut many people were aware
of its existence, for it was in a wild
and solitary .spot scarcely ever visited
by anyone. 1, however, had seen it
several times in my moorland wanderings,
and had always regarded it as a
dangerous place. It was partial'y
fenced round, but I must have wandered
in through one of the gaps.
There was no footpath anywhere
near it, so I must, in the darkness,
have lost my way. However, here 1
was, and the question confronted mo
how was I to get out'(
i tried to discover if it was possible
to climb out. but the sides of the pit
offered no hold of any kind, to i bad to
abandon that idea.
I next shouted, in the hope that
some solitary wanderer might hear my
/ ? UK
cries, bat no answering volco was
heard, until, after 1 had shouted myself
hoarse, 1 was obliged to sink back
in silcnco and despair.
My heart sickened as 1 thought of
the loneliness of the place, and how
days, and even weeks might elapse
before any one passed that way.
1 struck out frantically round the
pit to seek again for some means of
escape, but my search was as fruitless
as before.
Despair took hold of mo. 1 thought
of Ada, of our approaching marriage,
of tho preparations which had been
made, and the plans which had been
formed.
How bright the world had seemed
but a few moments before, and how
keenly I had anticipated its pleasure ;
And now it was all over. I must think
n > more of entering again tho bright
r -gion above and sharing in tho jovs
I uit uwiiitcd inc. I was doomed to dio
?to dio u lonely, solitary, horrible
death, and to lie in a watery grave.
As I held on to my feeble support and
thought of all this, my hrain reeled
within ino, and I feared that u.y reason
must give way.
Death instead of inurriuge 1 What
a contrast! J ust when I ought to he
leading my bride to the altar and
stepping across the portal of married
life, to let go my hold here and (all into
the cold, relentless arms of Death! And
what of Ada then? Surely she would
sorrow, aud grieve, and bo disconsolate.
Hut Horace Hishlon! What of
him? Might they not become man and
? Hut, no, the thought was loi luring.
and drove me in a tit of frenzy to
shout again with all my might. Hut
it was all in vain, f'?r no one heard.
How thu night passed I cannot toll,
neither do I know l?ow the morning
hours dragged on, for I wus numh
with cold, and faint with hunger and
fatigue. I only know that after what
| seemed to mo to ho ages, footsteps
drew near, and a voice called out from
I above :
" Are you thero, Fred ?"
I My heart leaped into my mouth, and
for a moment I was unable to utter a
sound. At last 1 murmured, in a faint
voice:
"In Heaven's name, get me out! I'm
dying."
" Can you hold on another minute ?"
the voice asked. " I've got a rope
here. Keep up till 1 fasten it to this
stake. Can you slip a loop round your
body, or shall I come down to you?"
" Send t he rope down, I'll manago
to pass it round." I shouted eageriy.
In another minute it was dangling
before my eyes, and was soon passed
under my arms! after which 1 gave
the word to draw up. Slowly I ascended,
and at last emerged into the
light and freedom of the upper air.
Ati i lay upon the ground?f?r my
legs were useless to mo?I looked at
my dolivoror, and wept for very joy at
my release.
It was Horace Kishton who had
saved me, and if ever my heart went
out to my rival, it was then.
" 1 cannot sullieiently thank you," 1
begun.
" (Jive mo no thanks," ho iutcrupted
harshly. " Thank Heaven instead.
Heaven ami hell have been lighting
over you, and Heaven has won. Hut
you little know how near you have
boon to death."
1 looked up in wonderment at him,
for his words were unintelligible to
mo. He took no notice of my look, but
continued :
" 1 guessed where you were, call it
instinct or whatever you like. No one
else did. Th y will seek everywhere
out hero. Hut 1 seemed to k.iow, and
? well, the Devil tempted mo, nay, he
fought with me. Don't you know why?
You love Ada Miller, do you not?
Then, so do I, Yes, with a love that
is all-consuming?a love which gives
me no rest night or day, a love which
makes it impossible for me to live
without her. You have won her hand,
but don't you think I envy you?? Don't
you think 1 even hate you at times?
I And when 1 guessed you were here,
don't you see tliut the Devi) tempted
mo to leave you here and to say nothing
whatever about it? But Ada has
chosen you, she loves you. >i our wodding
day draws near. Go?take her ami
be happy. Hut for me happiness in
this life is over.
"He turned away to unloosen the rope
which ho had made fast to one of the
stakes of the fence.
1 watched him wonderingly with a
da/.ed mind, when all in a moment, be!
fore 1 could think or speak, lie reeled,
fell over, and toppled headlong into
the pit from whence he had drawn me,
carrying the rope with him.
"He's gone!" 1 shrieked, and springing
to iny feet?for the numbness left
me for a moment?1 rushed to the
mouth of the shaft crying frantically,
" Horace ! Horace !"
Hut no answer came to my cries. A
loud splash succeeded his fall, then all
was still and silent as the grave. 1
IlloUi'll uwinnil I.... -

was near, and overcome with weakness,
fatigue, und horror, 1 fell senseless
to the ground.
When 1 came to I found myself in
the 8tiiuo position, anil knowing that
it svas extremely improbable that anyone
would pass that way, 1 put forth
all my strength, and dragged myself
with great ditliculty in the direction
home.
When 1 had gone a mile or so 1 entered
upon a more frequented road,
and soon fell in with those who rendered
mo all the assistance 1 required.
My story caused a great sensation,
as you may be sure, and for a time was
the one object of interest in the place.
Ada looKed upon me as one given
nack from the dead, and rejoiced
over rne accordingly. Her j >y would
have been complete had it not been
for the unfortunate death of Horace
Hishton, for that naturally east a
gloom over us all.
Of course, his death was put down
l j accident, and much regret expressed
at the painful occurrence, but I,
who had seen the whole thing, knew
it was no accident, though, rightly or
wrongly, I kept the knowledge to myself.
Why should I blazon abroad the fact
that Horaco Kishton, after gallantly
saving my life, had deliberately destroyed
his own?
It would have bion a poor return
for the service he had rendered me ;
it would have done no good to those
who knew him and who revered his
memory ; and above all, it would have
been a source of constant pain and
gri if to my own little darling wifo.

A FAMOUS DI8TIUCT.
A Small Area in South t'nmlina nntl
Oeorula Una Produced u LnrKfl
Number of (jruat Men.
Kev. Thomas A. Hoyt, I). I)., of Philadelphia,
has contributed the following
article to the New York Observer.
Or. Hoyt is a native of Beech Islund,
S. C., and just before the war he was
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Abbeville, S. C., so that he is quite
familiar with the history and characteristics
of the district described:
The district comprised within acircle
of a radius of sixty miles, the centre
being near Augusta, Ga., and embracing
counties in Georgia and South Carolina,
is one of the most remarkable
small ureas in the union in respect of
the number of national character it
lias produced. Hero is where many of
what are k now n as the treat "Sunt h.wn
(Jucstions" original -d, or had their
ablest and mo?t earnest support or antagonism,
for it is noteworthy that
both sides of those groat questions have
always had powerful advocates.
This di.striet pave birth to "nulliiication"
and "secession." It has furnished
the country ono presidential
candidate, four vice presidential candidates,
two Speakers of Congress, four
cabinet ministers, and several loreipn
ministers. And yet none of theso men
came from a town of more than 2,000
or .'1,000 inhabitants ; nearly all came
from the country and tlio plantations;
and the total population to-day, of all
the counties, is only 180,000. It is
doubtful whether any other territory
of as small s zo and population in the
Union can make so conspicuous a showing.
This is tiie district of John (J. Calhoun,
who became Vice President, Secretary
of War, Secretary of State, and
who was for years a great Senator of
the United States. Andrew Jackson
was born just outside the limits of this
district, in South Carolina. William
II. Crawford, a candidate for the Presidency
in 181b, came from this district,
in the oloetlon of that year, Crawford
received (1 electoral votes, Andrew
Jackson Oh, John tjulnoy Adams 81,
and Henry Clay .'17. The election being
thrown into the House, Adams was
chosen with the assistance of Clay.
Crawford was Senator and president
pro tern, of the Senate, was oneo Secretary
of tho Treasury and Minister to
Prance.
Hersehel V. Johnson, who was on the
electoral ticket witli Douglass in 1SU0,
catno from this district. Alexander
H. Stephens, who opposed secession,
yet beqamo Vice President of tho Confederacy.
and who enjoyed tho respect
of both North and South, was from this
district. Howell Cobb, who was Speaker
of tho House, Secretary of tho Treasury
and 1'resident of the Confederate
constitutional congress, was from this
district.
George McDullio, United States Senator
and impassioned orator; Hobi rt ,
