TRI-W EEKJY EDITION. WINNSBORO S. C.. OCTOBER 11, 1883'
SWEETIHEAltT.
The stars shine out on the wide, wide sea
With a light that is ue'or forgot;
But your eyes, sweetheart, shinxe out on ne
With a light that the stars know not.
The larks sing soft, in the fresh green grass,
Their heaven-taught melody;
Biut the birds are iumb as yoursweet words
pass
Swift-winged as the light to me.
The rose eltubs up to any window-seat,
And faints in its rich perfumue;
But the breath of your lips is sweeter. nay
sweet,
And their crimson is love's ripe bloom.
Oh, lips that were fashioned for kissing
mine,
That whisper in love's low tone!
Oh, eyes that out, of love's vast deeps shine[
Sweetheart of my heart, mine own !
You have feasted te, love, as the rose the
bee,
On the sweets of your lips and your eyes;
You have opened love's portals and given
to Ine
The cycles of Paradise.
WAS IT FAIR OF l11M?
A lovely day in September. The
rays of the sun are tempered by a slight
laze that lies over the sea, while the
air is so calm that the flag at the end
of the pier has hung motionless the
whole morning.
At the foot of the cliffs, among the
boulders, sits a girl sketching-a girl,
wt ho in her pretty pale tinted dress,
relieved by a bunch of poppies iat the
neck and another in the becoming little
sailor hat, makes a fair picture herself.
he hats a sweet, earnies fawe framed
with curly dark hair that falls softly
onl the white forehead, which is jilst
now prettily puckered in the earnest
ness of her task,
By her side, stretched to the full
length of his tall, athletic ligtire, re
clines an equally fair specimen of the
opposite sex, his thoughts apparently
far away, jax'ging by the absent look in
; the handsome gray eyes which are
looking out to the sea.
Suddenly lie rouses himself, and
iushing his hat a little further back
from his broad white brow, trins lazily
on one elbow, and says, penitently:
I am awful sorry, Miss Grey. You
must think ino a very dull companion,
I am sure,' but the fact is, that froim
being alonae so much when I was abroad,
I have acquired a very awkward habit
of going iuto day dreams without the
iligatest. regard to time and circum
stances; so please accept my most, hum
ble apologies;" lie concludes, looking
pleadingly into his companion's face.
A ,oit laugh answers his words, and
Dora Grey. says, gently, without rais
ing her eyes:
"Pray don't apologize, Mr. Carelton.
I am afraid I must plead guilty to the
weakness of absent-imindedness myself
occasionially, and at the present mo
mIent I was so engrossed at this difilult
piece of sky that I had alhost forgotten
your presence."
"Oh," says Frank Carelton, blandly,
under his breath, while the girl's sweet
voice resumes, unconscious of the in
terruption:
"I always think that one of the tests
of trtue friendship is being able to be
with a person, and either talk, think,
or keep silence, as long as you choose,
vitlout the expectation of giving of
fence."
"Oh," says Frank, resuming his old
attitude, "6I suppose you go in for that
sort of thiig; iost young ladies do-for
a thine."
"I don't, know whatt you mean by
going in for that sort of thing,' but I
certainly believe that there are such
apeop~le to be met; with as real, sinci'
fiend~s in every sense of the word."
.Naturally enioughi at your age, Miss
Grey; but pardoan. me, whent yeou have
lived a little lonager you will finid people
are taot always what, they seemi, nor' are
their priotestationts of friendship maucha
to be depeunded uipoin.''
"lowever old I maiy live to be," says
D~ora, "I hope I shall always hanve ats
muatch faith ini my follow-creaures as I
hauve no0w; and 1 lirmtly believe it possi
ble to meet with thaose who will,
thriouagh richws and poverty, good report
and( evil, be steadfast and uanchanaging
friends." And blusing at her ownt
esarnetness Dora resumes the br'ush,
whach she had beeia neglecting for the
.last few minutes.
F'ranik smiles untder his mustache at
the girlish outburst, but turns ad looks
gravely eiiough iinto the charing, slay
lace and satys with a sigh:
"Alh, child, you don't kanow what

"I do wish it," says Franik concisely,
a hand closing firmly round the
id little fingers, over which lhe benids
handsome head before releasintg
them, and upon which he imprints a soft
kiss to ratify the contract.
The pretty white house, nestling I
among the dark firs, which are such an I
addition to the beauty of the coast near 4
Sandcombe belongs to Mr. Barrington, i
and he and his pretty wife are never I
more pleased than when they can in- i
duce as many as possible of their nuim
erous friends to visit them; and they
are particularly happy in the selectioni
of their guests, and are never tired of I
devising some pleasant plan of amuse
ment-Raveiswood house is almost al
ways gay and lively with ploasant,
laughter and merry chatter.
Mrs. Barrington wasa Miss G rey, and
Dora is her pot sister, so she often stays I
at Ravenislyo6d for months together. <
- Frank Carelton has only been down I
from London a fortuight. Ie is a ris
ing young barrister, with a good private I
income of his own; but, this has not I
prevented his overworking himself a
little, and he has accepted Oscar Bar- I
rington's pressing invitation to recruit <
his strength in the bracing air of Sand- I
combe.
There are not so many guests as usu-t I
at Ravenswood house just now, so Dora I
and Frank have been thrown together t
a good deal; and Mr Carelton is too
fond of the society of pretty girls not to I
think it a very pleasant arrangement t
altogether. t
The day following the little talk on k
the beach there is a large influx of vis- I
itors; but Dora finds, to her satisfaction,
that in walks or drives Frank seems
ever at her side, as usual. t
One day she laughingly reinarks the c
fact, but lie merely says, quietly: f
"I prefer friends to acquaintances,
D)ora. If you are tired already of our
bargain, say so; but it is only natural 1
Ahat, under the circuinstaices, I should
ahouse your society rather than that of 1
.iyone else." ;
So the two wander about together t
-ontentedly, though not unnoticed, for
iany are the glances and little innu- i
-mdoes they have to encounter, much to t
Dora's expressed disgust as she freely
liscusses the matter with Frank.
"It is too utterly ridiculous," she says
ingrily, as they were one day walking
Abrough the woods; as if we were bound I
.o be talking a lot of nonsense about V
ove just because we are alone together. 0
"Ridiculous, indeed," calmly asserts h
Frank; "wait until Mr. and Miss Light
tppear, and we go off with then re
spectively; then these clever people will il
see the difference--oh, Dora?" 2
Dora's heart gave a sudden jump, but 3
lie answers in hier usual geitle voice, I
.hough she is rather silent during the
:emnainder of the walk. 0
"I am expecting Miss Bruce down
ere to-morrow, so I warn all those of V
ou gentlemen who still possess that e
Iseful article, a heart, to guard it well, f]
.or Nelly is a fascinating pussy." g
So says Mrs. Barrington at the lunch- at
on table one day; and to those who V
tnow the young lady spoken of, the
mnouncement appears to give univer- N1
;al satisfaction. 1
"And who is Miss -Bruce?" asks ti
Prank of Dora Grey, by whose side lie a
s sitting. h1
"One of the loveliest girls you ever a;
maw ini your life," puts in Mr. Barring- 11
oni, before Dora caii reply; "and just 11
our style, old man, I should imagine. " 8
Frank Carelton looks at Dora, and t1
repeats, inl a low voice, meant for her l
,ar alone. I
"Just iy style. Can my fate be ap- t
proaching already?"
"Perhaps," is the only reply, given in
1qually low tones. "Do you hope it
nay be so?"
"I don't quite know," said the young d
iiain, gently. "1 have my friend, you i
tuow, Dora.'' b
"But, notwithstanding, Mr. Frank i4

imd somehow everything seemis a little fl

At, last miatters caine to a crisis. A h

woods a fewv miles inland, and durinig a y

for presently one or two tears force ii
themselves slowly from behind the m
closed eyelids, aind the girl gives way a~
to a passionate flood of tears.

The stommahi,
Thestomach has no mnore to do with
digestion than have the liver, pancreas
and intestiies. Each contiibute to the
process of digestion. By tile constait
motion of the stomach, tle food is more
fully brought into contact with the di
gestive glands. In this, and its special
action in at length forcibly expelling
food from it, the stomach is not parti
cularly different from the vermicular
(worm-like) motion and expulsive power
of the intestines.
The stomach acts as a receptaole by
which we are enabled to take a sutlicient
quantity of food at convenient inter
vals, so that we may not be always eat
ing. Evei its power to reserve its ac
tion, as in vomiting, is possessed, an1d
sometimes used, by the inte'tines.
;:Tihe glands near the intestinal open
ing of tile stomach (the pylorus) secrete
an alkaline fluid, the others, an acid.
Each, however, equally digests meat.
Vomiting does iiot necessarily imply
a foul stonIach. A thought--in a n
sitive lperson--a blow on the head,
tickling of the nerves unear thie gullet,
the sympijathietic influence of other or
gans, miay cause vomiting, It is pure
ly a nervous action, and~ the nerves
causing it may be irritated in malny
ways. Evenm the foul contents of the
stomach cause thme vomiting only by
irritating the nerves of' the brain.
Ilenice thle pain and vomiting of stek
headache may be (due either to foul
stonmachi or solely to an inudependent ir
ritation of the cenitral nerves.
Meat Is digested in thejstomnach; 'fat,
b~read and othber articles lurther along.
But the st~omach is not es~sential to the
dligestioni even of meat,. Th'le latter can
be digested just as rapidly and well in a
bowl with peopsin at the right tempera
ture. Of course, thme pleasure of eating
depends oni nerves inl the nmouthi, not in
the stomach. And the food, too, is as
readily digested if put in~to the stomatchi
through a hole ini thme sidle. It Is now
found that, ini certatin dhife.se, the
stomlachi may be thorotluhly and advan
tageously washed out ([ally, and the
food hlatrodulcedl throughi a tube, and
thie patielits can be tught, to d1( thijs
