Between Wooodlaml academy and lodv's creek there is an extensive >od of closely-set cedars, known as isey. In the earlier settlement of this ighborhood this wood offered an exllent hiding place for the Indians, nee there were many of them lurking its recesses. Its intricate nature also I off the unacquainted settlers witht their intention into its wilds, where :y wandered about, sometimes for vs, frequently forever; that is, they ire probably murdered by the Indians, t the negroes and most superstitious lite people thought them still seeking vain for a place of exit. Whenever e, after being lost in these* woods ind his way out he would give such a irvelous account of his adventures it these over credulous persons had lie to regard the wood under some il spirit, and to hold it in as much r and dread almost as the "old boy" nself. Under no consideration could >y b<? induced, knowingly, to venture xr : for they deemed it of such ft Dtle nature that the sight of it alone sined to draw them into its meshes ey would go out of their way to avoid >.\iinity; but notwithstanding all ;ir caution, persons would frequently appear mysteriously and rumor r*o it out that they were lost in soy. ik-fore the war the following Aran-nightish tradition ,was prevalent ong the negroes and superstitious ites: in the time of revolutionarj' war a itual affection sprung up betweeen a ung ofllccr and a damsel of this neigh hood. Not long after they be no bothrothed the young man ldenly and mysteriously disapired. 11c was lost in Oosey. lly the tinct of love the girl quickly suspccttlie cnusc of her lover's absence ; 1 with a blind devotion plunged heedsly into the enchanted wood to sock him. Here in a vain quest did she .rch for years, while he in ugony of irning to lly again to her sought like>e in vain to extricate himself from labary 11 thine prison till instinct told n she Was n ?ar. Then did both seek ht and day for each other. But in n ; though apparently constantly iring each other thej' were ever lied by the evil spirit ; while the intct of love or the will of the demon de tliein sensible e*ch of every vement of the othor. Thus wore y kept continually and perpetually talized. n the course of time, the fancy of evil spirit led him to change them r> birds? the oflicer into an owl and girl into a dove. Here with their iie feelings and longings they wanderin quest for years and years ; and e it was said they were doomed there ivander till some good spirit should unph over the evil one. Then they >uld find each other, and the spell of :hautment which had changed them, is be broken. Then and not till then, uld the power of the evil spirit over wood be at an end. Vfter the Indians were removed from isc parts the negroes still kept up ir supertitious beliefs and the growuy white children being thrown ch with them were * inspired h their same notions. I have ird old negroes relate adventures imting as having happened in this wood, ich were as marvelous and incredus as the romances of tho east.?But avc heard authentic tales of children 1 ting lost in the wood, and after waning many hours, finding themselves ny miles away, and sometimes oss streams or roads, and not romoin ing having crossed them. L'hus a party of hunters wore one lit lose in here. They wondered iund for hours, now thinking they saw Opening, and directly finding themves back at tho place they had first rted after discovering they were lost, us they wandered till far in the night, on an old negro, who was along, >fFcred to load the way out by the rth star, which they could seo at invals through the tops of tho trees, llowing their guide for an hour or so. ; noiso of falling water now fell on l *t ?i ii.. r 1 ?i. ;ii kzhi niiu mujr anui iij' luuuu viiuiiives at Hopewell factory, two or throe lcs|from Cosey in u southerly direcn and across the llroad river road, ilch they had no remembrance of hav5 crossod." Tho most interesting, however, of jso adventures is probably the followt About twenty soven years ago, just ovo Tate's burnt houso place, a school is kept in a building called tho acadey. A boy started out one morning to with his little sister, who was attendee the school, near enough for her to by heraelf the remaining distance, tonding Himself to roturn home, leir road led them near Cosey and ross Goody's creek. Their father had st bought thorn a now copy of Byron, id though quite young, they worO so kon up with it that they took it with I' \ igg gK2*i?j . -v .. , ? ; v.. '* ' them reading together ns they went along. At length reaching the point to which the boy was to go they separated, and the boy turning back toward home. lie took Byron back with him and left to himself was soon so absorbed in its pages as to render him oblivious to surrounding objects. At length, looking up from his book and glancing around, lie discovered np familiar object whatever; everything appeared entirely different from anything he had ever seen, for ho hud neve^ been in Cosey ociore. am arouiul hfin wore cedars and ns far ns the eye eould penetrate were nothing but cedars. An owl flitted by him and presently he heard the coo of a dave. Alas ! he was lost in Cosey. Hero lie wandered at raudoni, not knowing whither. Looking up he saw the sun, now in the west instead of the east : and as he wandered on otlier glimpses showed it to be moving up ward instead oF downward, and hack toward the oast instead of the west. Ho wandered on thus, and still he wandered on till time for it to be far in the afternoon but instead the the sun had gone back to the same place where it had been when lie set out that morning with his little sister.?lie looked down at himself and thought ho was growing smaller.?Alas had the world begun to move backward ? At length happily he discerned an opening and following up eagerly he presently found himself at a fence, over which was a big road. In a Hold near by were some negroes hoeing cotton. Seeing them he quickly asked who was their master. Squire Hunter, answered they. Squire Hunter ? repeated h:?. You certainly must bo mistaken. No, said tliev, there's the Kl'oorton road and this is just above IJethlehem church. Great Lord, mused lie, this is seven miles ftpm 1113' home, and how in the world (lid I get over the creek without knowing it. lie now got over the fence and started in the direction he thought down the road toward the academy. After he had gone a short distance he met a wagon, which ho hailed, and asked the driver where lie waa going. "To Watkin's Landin," answered he. Thoro was a Mr. Wntkins living near the boy, and he 'r.r.d never heard of any other ; so, he unnaturally asked, "Mr Daniel Watkin's I landing'' "No ; Judge Black well's," rej plied the driver. "But you are going toward Iv'.herton, ain't you," inquired | the boy. "No," replied the driver, I "you are going toward Klberton " 'Alas ! mused the boy, "Is that spell t.f enchantment still 011 me, and shall I go 011 this way all my life, seeing things jum ojijiusuu iroin oinor people .' lie turned buck, however, at the direction cf tl?c driver, and in due time came up in sight of the academy. Everything seemed to turn around to him and come right. The sun appeared in its natural position in the west, and the boy con'd now see that he was going from Elberton instead of toward it. The teacher hud ju$t turned out school and the pupils surprised to sec our adventurer come up from that direction flocked around him and drew out a recountul cf his wonderful adventure, llere we will leave him till another time.?Elbetton (On.)

Mau Kills Himself Because of Letters Written in Jest. \Y est StocknitmoK, Mass., June 23.? ltobert Stinson, of Morristown, Pa., committed suicide here a few days ago, and not until to-duy was it learned that the young man had taken his life as the result of a practical joke played upon liiin nnd his affianced while visiting his aunt horo. Some yonrs ago he met Miss Clare Kdwnrds. of this place. He was studying law and hoped to be admitted to the Bar next spring. He started from homo a month ago on a visit to Wost Stockbridge, stopping on the way at Oswego, N. Y., where ho officiated as best man a*. the wedding of a college chum. Ho proved such a general favorite that he was urgod to remain thero a fortnight. . One evening, as he was rowing on the lake with Miss Morrow, his friend's sister, she jokingly said that the young lady in Stockbridge ought to bo told of his gallantries in Oswego. He gave Miss Morrow the address of Miss Kd wards, of Stockbridge, telling her that if she did not seo him the next dnv ?ho had bottor writn thu I lotter to Miss Edwards at onco. It chanced that she did not sco Stinson tho day fallowing, so hIic wrote the letter. Id it sho said that Ktinson had mysteriously disappeared. And that his Oswego friends felt little roason to doubt that he had been drownded in the lake. As a postscript she<wrote in a very flic hand: "Strange things happen in this world and this letter is all rats." When Miss Edwards read the first sentence she swooned and remained unconscious for some time. llor father telegraphed for particulars, and in a few . hours there camd to the mourning household a dispatch .which read: "Robert has returned and is alive and well. It was only a joke." Then for the first time tlie postscript was discovered. Mr. Edwards was very indignant at the cruel shock given his daughter, and j^t once commanded her to have nothing more to do with him. Meanwhile the friends of Stinson wrote him the particulars of the scene at the lidwards House, and by their advice he came here a week ago Saturday. After repeated interviews with the Edwards family he convinced them of his inno-* cence in the matter, and plans for a wedding in September were made. The news of his death spread like wildfire in the little town and he was constantly finding himself in embarrassing positions in consequence. The case became so annoj'ing finally that he declared to his friends that the gossips and inquisitive people everywhere were driving him crazy. When his father heard of the plans for September, he sent his omer son to try and induce Uobert to postpone his wedding, as he was anxious for him to complete his studies b" fore he married. After the meeting with his brother on Thursday, young Stinton, who was totally unused to liquor, commenced to drink heavily. He returned to this place that afternoon and met his affianced, who was greatly grieved to see him in such a plight, but administered to his wants and made all excuses for his absence from thu family circle. AtO o'clock he left the house unnoticed and purchased a revolver and r? box of cartridges. Ho then went to tho depot and sent a dispatch to his brother : "Have gone." He then wro?e a nolo to Miss Kdtvards. Next morning his body was found on :i rocky ledge n mile from the depot with a bullet hole in his head. The remains have been sent to his home. THK SICK ROOM. The Tilt(le Things That C*ou<l the Sick to DcHpcrntioii. The following views on the errors in nursing is from the pen of an Knglish physician, in the London Telcyrnjth, v.*ho, having spent the pns*. three years on his back, owing to a run and relapse of fever, knows whereof he speaks : l)o not walk on tiptoe, for this, in adilitirtn ?% ? %*?? -? I ~ 1 ? 1. ? ?? * ** UIUWH IU two uiiunuui Uliiuurauuil Ul nil? gait, invariably causes a certain amount of croaking. Speak in low tones, but don't whisper; n whisper will often awaken a sleeper who would not be disturbed by ordinary conversation, and never say ' Hush." Let your clothes and foot covering be of as noiseless and unobstrusive a character as possible, and instead of gliding and tottering nbout like a rickerty ghost, ;lo not hesitate to walk. If j-ou have an occasion to say anything in the room say it so that the patient can hear it if he wishes, and do not let him be aware of your conspiring privately with others, especially at the door. The door has much to answer for. If it be visible from tho bed, people open it cautiously, put their heads in and slowly withdraw again. If, as is more frequently the case, it is screened by the bed curtains, mysterious openings and shuttings are heard, unattended with any ingress or egress, and sotto voco colloquies go on outside. When you enter do so honestly and at once ; do not spend five minutes in turning the handle, like a house-breaker, thereby producing a scries of irritating little clicks, Anally terminating in a big snap, with which tho door flies open. If the latch be at all rusty, a handle that is slowly wound back in this way will often stick, and either required to be rattled back into position, or, if left as it is, may start back suddenly after a time of its own accord with a report like a pistol shot. It is always well to recollect that it by no means follows that a sick person is asleep because his eyes are shut; he may be acutely conscious of all that is passing in the room, though unable or unwilling to make any sign, and nothing can be more maddening, under the circumstances, than to have people hushshying and whispering around, and creaking about on the tips of their toes. We haye all sympathized in our hearts with poor Sir Leicester Dedlock whon his tonguo was smitten with paralysis, with his sister constantly bending over him with clasped hands and murniering : "Ho is asleep!" till, goaded to desperation, signs for his slate and writes : "I am not." 4i.? i?.1 ilVTCI OVdllU U t UIU IUUW VI IIIU I'UU and look nt tho patient. While talking to him it is hotter to sit by the side of the bed, and ns near tho pillow as possible, so that you may converse easily, while your faco and body are turned in tho samo direction as his. By this means you can make all necessary observations of his features without enforcing tho rest of his eyes to yotfr own, which is so entbarrassing and disagreenblo to one lying in bed, and is almost unavoidable when facing him. Keep him in as comfortable position as.possible by all means, but don't be too demonstrative in soothing tho pillows and little offices of that sort. Fidgety attentions will worry him, and do him moro harm than downright-neglect. IjOIII) AXJ> IJADY SALISRUKY. The Courtship and Marriage of tlic ' Present Premier of Knglaml. ' Onn grnv morning in the mid-spring 0 "f twenty-eight years ago there was a ^ wedding in the little chapel at Ald-llill, H Berks. All London knew the bride. ^ For three seasons the belle of Wcstmin- 11 ster. for three y?ars the beauteous won- r der of society, Georgia na Ahlerson wast, the brightest and fairest of the ladies of 11 the court. But she was a coquette, and 0 had drawn many lovers by the silken * charin so well discovered by witchery ^ and blue eyes and sunny hair. Many a ^ wooer had wooed in vain, for the daugh- ^ tor of Sir 10. Hall Aldcrson was an heir- ' ess as well as a beauty, and estate of " land is the finest setting that estate of 11 beauty can demand. Of some of the * most selfish of the admirers it could 1 nave ueen sam tnnt tliey were brilliant M tl uion and worth}' of the most coveted honors of roj'alty, and not once or twice 0 the lady might have married well had . she not had an adviser who knew man ,f as man deserves to be known. Miss Opie, the celebrated queen of society ^ of ten or fifteen years before, was Georgiana Aldorson's aunt and chaperone, w and Miss Opie knew better than most 0 other women of the time how to distin- ? guish.between heart and pretense. She had kept the moths from her niece, \ but while she was seeking an ideally 11 eligible man. her charge had given her w hand to Hubert Cecil. Miss Opie was dismaj-ed. Cecil was not a man after her liking. Though the son of an Karl he was a younger son and ^ anything but popular with his family. There had been a quarrel and a fraternal scandal and, to the horror of the ^ family at Hatfield House, he had had to earn his own living. Beginning as a ? journalist, he had shown marked ability ? till he was a regular contributor to the Quarter!y. For throe years ho had 11 been in Parliament for Stamford, where P lie continued to sit for fifteen years to n come, but where he made no eonse qucniial mark. It was no wonder that 11 Miss Opie was displeased with the ^ match. With but a few redeeming qualities socially, the young man was at best a book worm and so serious and quiet that he was esteemed dull. But the niece had felt the brain of the Ce- 11 cils and, though nine out of ten thought ^ as did the aunt, the nine and the aunt P came to witness the ceremony. c It was a matter-of-fact wedding, as English country-side weddings arc; apt 11 to be. There was the gay company ^ filling the chapel, and the white ribbon that kept the common herd of acquaint- P ance from the chosen many of the fanii- s ly. There was at 10 the soft lew notes c of the weddinn: march from Lohi'ncrin. a the quartette of able-bodied ushers 11 passing up the central aisle and parting the silken barrier. There were two lit- v tie girls strewing the aisle with white 11 flowers from their aprons, and four 1 bridesmaids behind them. There was ^ the bride on her father's arm with the v Queen's bouquet in her hand. There 11 was the groom meeting them at the 0 chancel rail. There was the ceremony and the blessing and the congratulations. 8 ?London Letter. r t THE KKV. SAM JONES ON AVHISKY.

THOUBLE AMONG THE CADETS. ihtit It Was and How it Has Been Remedied. As stated in the Wews and Courier esterday, the executive committee of ic board of visitors of the South C&rlina Military Academy, consisting of Ion. Johnson Hogood, Gen. A. M. Man;ault and Gen. C. I. Walker, has been 1 session for several days during the resent week to consider, among othor lattors, certain questions of discipline tiat have recently arisen in the Acade\y. The Columbia Register of yesterr-ii : . j puuiisuvu mu luuuning in regaru. j this matter : "From trustworthy sources we regret o lenrn of a very serious condition of hings existing at the Military Academy it Charleston. It seems that Cadet chirmer, of Charleston, was recently romoted to he an officer of the Cadet orps on account of meritorious characer, and as soon as the order was promulgated a number of the Cadets, cmracing the large majority, openly roused to obey and respect the newly-apointcd officer. Cadet Schiriner, it is aid, is one of the most promising of the orps, and has always had a fine record s a soldier and a gentleman, cominandng the respect of tho officers of tho # Lcademy during his entire connection rith tho institution. About a year or lore ago it became his duty to report wo or more of his fellows for a serious trnorh nf nSapinlinn w ?w* n IIIVU lUVJ rcrc subsequently, dismissed. His pare n the affair, it is supposed, made him bnoxious to the large body of his feli>w Cadets, who, with the exception of ome twenty or twpnty-fivo, have rigoously tabooed him. Notwithstanding his, ho has been so dilligent and proIcient as to ha\*e won the appointment, he announcement of which was made ho occasion for the rebellion against he authorities of the Academy relorted." When Cadet Schirmer was made sereantof the corps of Cadets, thirteen of he twenty-eight officers of the corps ent in their resignations to the superintendent of the Academy.- Tho superutendcnt refused to accept their rcsigations. The officers then informed the upermtemlent that they would contin10 to serve until the matter could bo lid before tho board of visitors. The ionrd met and after a full investigation omprouiised the matter in this way: 'he Cadet officers have withdrawn their otters of resignation, and at tho instance , f the executive committee of the board f visitors will prefer charges against !adet Schirmer, who will be tried in tho egular way at tho meeting of the board >f visitors iu July. There lias been considerable feeling tnong the Cadets in regard to this mater. It was stated on Thursday that he entire corps of Cadets, with one exception, had pledged themselves to susain tho Cadet officers. The proper ourso has been taken in tho matter, towever, and it is expeoted that the rouble will bo settled in a manner that rill be satisfactory to all concerned. ''' Fortnraate for Gaorfe.
