CONGRESS AT AUGUSTA.
(in the third and last day. a resolu
tion was adopted by the Congress
declaring that: We find the South
has sulTered less than any other sec
tion and is already rallying from the j
remit panic. She is on the thresh-j
old of an era of great development
and we invite Eastern capital and i
Western immigrants to come South
and share in the prosperous times
ahead.
This is as little a- the Congress
could have declared. Yet it is a great
deal.
We hope tin* Congress has done
good. Uepresentative men from
nearly every Southern State were
present, and they were there for t he
purpose of setting on fool plan-
to more rapidly develop our vast re
sources.
Port Itoyal attracted a numher of
t he delegates.
It is something to see the linest
harbor • m the Soulh Atlantic coast,
that admits without any risk thelarg*

Southern port. It i- something to
see the loading of the llritish King,
which has a capacity of twelve!hous
and hales of cotton about twice as
uiiifh a-is sold at (•alTney in one
season.
We know now that some of the
delegates will ret urn home with en
larged views.

In-overheard a conversation between
memhers of l he sugar t rust and prom

i No agreement has been reached as
i
to when the Senate will vote on the
tariff hill, hut the fact that the
democratic managers begin thi- week
to lengthen the daily sessions of the
Senate indicates that I he end is mar.
It is now regarded as certain that the
sugar schedule, lobe voted on this
week, will be adopted, and after it-
adoption there will be little, except

to fight. For that reason the claim

Let Well Enough Alone.
What a pity that anybody should
adopt such an aimless sent intent.
If you are a clerk and making a liv
ing. or a mechanic earning a dollar
and a half or t wo dollars per day. or
a scam.-lrcss making fifty or seventy-
live cents a day—“Well, that's doing
right well these hard t inics. and you'd
belter let well enough alone." So
says the man with an aimless life.
Look in his eyes, there i- no bril
liancy; see hi> face, it is blank and
hardened. Hear him talk, and you
have gained little or nothing from
all that he has told you.
"Let well enough alone." Never!

Fairfax.
It wa* a bright May morning
when sweet little Florence ran
through the house leaving the joyous
tidings of a holiday to her little friend
and schoolmate. Joe, with whom uhe
was accustomed to go to school. On
finding him they hurried out into a
shady yard to their play, then into
the meadow and wimmIs near hy,hunt
ing wild (lowers and chasing hotter-
Hies. Thus were spent all their lioli-
days in innocence and happiness.
W hen at the age of fifteen Joe must
go to college and leave Ids dear little
friend, hut with the parents’ eon-
sent they corresponded regul'Hy for
some few months, at the . nd of
w hich Joe began to get negligent .and
in couseipieiiee the leltcs soon
ceased.
Christmas came with hitter cob
and deep snow. In a warm nmiii
Floivn-'c w;is irrui ing a nice box
of dainties to -end to .Inc as taken of
her remembrance, and on ('hristmas
Eve this box was carried to Joe's
room, luit he was not there. How
ever. he v a- found soon, and Ids stir-
pri-c was as pleasant as great. He
felt ashanieil liceaus • he'd not writ
ten her in such a long time, and to
show his appreciation he wrote her a
long letter, hut it was I he hist; lie for
go’ to \\ rite again.
Joe s parents had written him he
might come home lo*|icuda few days,
including Faster, and here he again
saw the friends of hi- childhood. Now
they renewed all their old bonds of
affection, went hunting wild Mowers
as they had so often done, and when
Joe hade her adieu at his return he
whispered that he had a secret for
her the next time he saw her.
Some month- after Joe had gone to
college for the first time an holiest,
hard working hoy was given charge
of Florence'* Mow er garden and neigh
boring grave-, and on account of his
congenial dispo-iiioii a friendship ex-
i.-led hetween I he t wo; t hen. as it
seems 11 fate. Albert, for that was
his name, came in possession of a
very valuable estate, far off in the

hoping for him to couc hone so he
might •li -••lose his secret to her.
Twas with a sad Icirl that Joe

days to the clumsy, awkward hoy.

Albert, hoping to give Florence a
pleasant surprise, invited Joe to
spend the sunnier with them.
A st age • o ic! 1 slowly ascends t he hill,

hastens out to welcome him.
“Wi Iconic, Welcome. dear J«»e,
welcome lo beautiful 'Fairfax.’
"God Ides-you. Albert, and thank
you for I he Welcome."
“Do you know, dear Joe." said
Albert reaching out hi- h ind a sec
ond lime, that I have won a great
prize since | last saw you; hut no
doubt you have heard it.
Oh ! I his will hen sitrpri-i ! She
doe- not expect y 11. no. not in all
eternity.”
“A surprise?" asked Joe. Tor
w honi?”
“For Florence.
“Florence! You have not told her
of my visit ?"
“Not a word, Joe; she docs not
think of you. nor docs her motjier.
I have written you secretly in order
I hat Jt heir joy might he great* r. You
know I always had my peculiar
schemes. '*
Then the two walked toward* the
house. J * •** thinking of hi* meeting
Florence and what lie simiii I say to
her. until they reached the door, and
going through a hall Joe saw out on
I he terrace by the garden gate a
maidenly woman dressed in white;
she arose and went lo nieol those en
tering: at half way she suddenly
slopped and stared silently at the
st rang« r; he smiling st retched out
his hand to her.
“Joe?" she cried. ‘‘Joe! My God!
is it you? We have not seen each
other in so long." “Not long." he
answered, and could say no more;
then when lie heard her voice he fell
a pain in his heart, and 11* he gazed
at her she stood la-fore him the same
stately. Im'iiiiIiful form which he had
told g'sal live years ago in his native
low n.
Albert remained standing in the
door.his face radiant with joy. “Now,
Florence,” he asked, ‘‘had you ever
cx|a'ctcd him?”
She looked up into his face; “No;
you are so good Albert,’ she said.
He took her small hand care dngly
in his. “And now w have him, we
must not let him go soon. He hn-
been a v.i.v from 11 - so long; we will
make him at home. Look how strange
and distinguished he appears.”
When Joe went to his room that
night In- sealed himself in an arm

the first lark rose jubilantly in the

a ml when he had found it he wrote a
few lines on a piece of paper. When
this was finished he took his hat and
stVk. leaving the paper behind,
cautiously opened the door ami
stepped down into the hall; then he
heard a door open there came an al-
