CoHtiiiH'd from la?t week, I turned toward the old gentle man and asked if this were the daughter ho had been telling me of. "Yes, and a hotter girl, more un selfish, never livod. She was al ways thinking of some pleasant surprise for her friends?and they were all who know her. It Is now twenty years since sho left us. You passed near her grave Just be fore you turned up to the house. A short time before sho died she told us to bury her there.'-" "I noticed the monument as I passed, aud rode out to the grave, in fact spent some time out there." I now mentioned to him the visit of the stranger to the grave, "Ah! Charles Kingsley. He has returned then. I did not know It. Mo has been from homesomo time. As you seem interested, I will tell thoir story." "I would be greatly pleased if you would. I became very much interested in your daughter before the appearance ol Mr. Kingsley, and after he camo was still more oxcited." The following is tho heart his tory of Charles Kingsley and Mar garet Harrison. I know that it loses much of the interest it had for mc?so many things lacking to add to the Interest. The simple pathos of the aged father, the si lent tears of the weeping mother, the beautiful faco looking serenely down on us?are all missing. Half a mile above here is the homo of John Kingsley, my life long friend and companion. In childhood wo were constantly to gether; in fact wo were almost in separable. Wo married at the same time and place. Our pleas ant and closo intimacy did not cease theu, nor has It to this day. In the course of time a son was born to him and a daughter to me. It was the unspoken wish of each that the children should grow up and bind still closor the tie between us. This wish was never spoken, nor did either of us over intimate such a desire to Charles and Margie; for we thought if it were God's will He would bring it about. Well, as tho children grew up they showed similar likes and dislikes with one exception. Marglo was of a retiring nature, little disposed to display, eared nothing much for gay parties and society, but pre ferred to gather her special friends together and spend a quiet evening with them. Charles was lender of society, and was the gayest among the gay; but if Margie were in the crowd, he was always to bo found near her, and ever and anon^would turn to her with some romark. Then his voice became tender and a soft light shone from his brilliant black eyes. lie was very ambiti ous, but 'twas a noblo ambition. At nineteen they were both grad uated, and came homo after an ab sence of four years. During this timo they had ml seen a groat deal of each other, but had corres ponded." "Each had striven for the high est honors, and each won. During the summer they were often to gether, a favorite place with them being the spot where she is buried. The summer passed quietly with them, and though both were gene ral favorites, neither visited much or received many visitors. Charles was to enter a law school in the fall to prepare himself for his cho sen profession. Margie was going at tho samo time to visit some rel atives and friends In another state. Just before their departure, the Kingsleys spent tho day with us, and In the evening as they were beginning to prepare for departure, Charles, drawing Margie's hand through his arm, said;" '"Uncle and Aunt Harrison,'? he always called us so?'father and mother, before wo separato I have one request to make. To-morrow I leave home, again to plunge Into the deep pleasures of tho student. Marglo also leaves to bo absent some time. From my earliest boy hood, sho has been my idol, my queen, and in my heart sho reigns supreme. Yesterday sho promised to be mine. Havo wo your bles sing?' " " 'My son,' said Kingsley, 'this is the realization of a hopo as old as yourself. Since you and Marglo were prattling babes, it has been my wish that you and sho should marry. May you be thrice blessed. And Margie,'tak ing her in his arms and kissing her, 'the day on which you are in deed my daughter, will bo the hap piest of my life.'" "My consent was as readily given and amid blessings and tears they separated." "Margie was absent two months. Sho returned about the last of Oc tober. She had not been well for nearly a month, and soon aftor her return was compelled to take her bed. At first wo thought nothing serious of it, but as she daily grew weaker, our fears got tho bettor of us and wo saw that ere long we would have to bid our darling farewell. Sho had been homo about two weeks, when ono morn ing sho told mo to send for Charles without delay. *I have not long for this world,' shoajldod." I immediately telegraphed him and also sent for his parents. When they arrived she had us all assem bled In her room, servants too, and began talking of her approaching end. Well, sir, when she began thcro was not a dry eyo In tho room. Sho begged us to dry our tears. There Is nothing to weep for. You will be separated from me but a short time, and my Sav iour wants me. Then sho began talking of tho beauties and glories of Heavon, and the great love of I the Saviour for us." "Sir, I have hoard some of tho most gifted preachers, I havo heard sermons that seemed to enrry you into the very presence of Ood, but never havo I hoard anything to equal tho words of that dying frirl to her sorrowing friends. As sho proceeded the tears coased, and wo bent forward to catch every word that fell from her lips. It seemed ns if sho wero already in Heaven, and was describing tho beauties and glories she saw to us standing at the gate. Her face shono with tho light of inspiration and almost daz/Jed us by Its brif llancy. Every face in tho room reflected the\> *ht from hers. Sir, I thought I wV a Christian bofore then, but I was mistaken. I never know what it was to bo a truo fol lower of Christ till I stood by her dying bed and llstenod to her part ing words. I resolved then ?hat Jesus Christ should be my cxa/ ^le , henceforth and that I would follow in his steps as nearly as the human could imitate the divine." "Charles reached home next morning. What passed between them, they and tho angels alone know. Tho scene was too saered for mortal eyes to witness. Bhe died that day. You have seen her resting place. The preacher I told you of proved a blessing to us. His sympathy and words of conso lation and hope helped to heal more than one brokeu heart. He aud Charles were almost insepara ble for a time. Charles' plans were entirely changed. Ho gave up law and entered the ministry. His work since then has been almost incessant. He has labored in crowded cities, lonely mouutain districts, where ever a messenger was needed to tell dying men of a Saviour's wondrous love, and Ids sheaves have been many. Having suffered himself ho seems able to touch as with a magic wand the hardened heart of the sinner aud bring him to repentance. All classes have hcatd and been moved by his eloquence; but ho prefers? doing missionary work in the slums of our great cities and in the wild and lonely mountains almost beyond the influences of civiliza tion. Ho has never married, and every autumn he visits the spot sacred to the memory of his only lOV'0. THK END. goldville, S. C. ) Aug. 31st, '91. i Editor Advertiser: I have never written anything for publication, but I believe you till like to get all the news you can. I will give you some of the happen ings at this place. On last Friday night between nine and ten o'clock a crowd of men armed with guns and pistols came on my place, pushed open doors, broke in windows and en tered two of the colored laborers' houses. They succeeded in finding a negro by the name af Wyatt James. They wanted to whip htm and carried him over near Hope well church and gave him a beating with a wet rope. I know no cause for it, only their scllish motives. There were perhaps fifteen or twenty in the crowd, all from the IIopcwcll side but one or two. This is a part or all of the same crowd that has been whipping negroes and making disturbances for years on that side of the river. Now, they have crossed over. You may publish all or part of this as you please. j. S. BlALOCK. Long Branch. Frogs and Spring Lizards From Long Branch I>y SloOUttl Uilson. Mrs. Matilda Summiere!! has been quite sick for the past week. Miss Lula Johnson, of Jacks town ship, who has been visiting friends and relatives in this section the past week, has returned home. Miss Nora Dennett, of Green ville county, is visiting friends and relatives in this section. Miss Ida Ti lor, of Greenville county, who ha been visiting in this section the past week, has re turned home. At a regular meeting of the Loafers Club at Hairston's ?Shop, the subject of the cotton market was discussed, and all agree that if the proper authorities do not put up the bridge across the river at Laurens, C. II., and if our County Commissioners do not have the road leading from the poor bouse fixed better, that this part of the county will be compelled to haul our cotton crop to Clinton for sale, lien or no lien. With a feeble appetite and im perfect digestion, it is impossible for tho body to secure the requisite amount of nourishment. Ayer's Sarsnparilla not only stimulates tho desire for food, but aids the as similative organs In tho formation of good blood and sound tissue. If you could seo your own scalp through an ordinary magnifying glass, you would bo amazed at tho amount of dust thereon accumu lated. The best and most popular preparation for cleansing the scalp is Ayer's Hair Vigor. A fact that all men with gray or many shaded whiskers should know, that Buckingham's Dyo al ways colors even brown or black at will. Win. SpragueSmith, Providence, It. I., writes: ?I find Brndycrotinc always cures headache." Mirtlo M. Tanner, Boonvillo, Ind., writes: "I had blood poison from birth. Knots on my limbs were as large as hen's eggs. Doc tors said I would be a cripple, but. B. 13. B. has cured mo sound and well. 1 shall ever praise the day the men who invented Blood Bahn were born." Yon tako no risk in buying Hood's Sarsaparille, for it is every where recognized as the standard building-up medicine and blood purifier. It has won its way to the front by its own intrinsic merit, and has the largest salo of any preparation of its kind. Any hon est druggist will confirm this state ment. If you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, do not bo Induced to buy anything else instead. Bo sure to get Hood's. "A word to the wise is sufficient," but it is not always wiso to say that word to one who is suffering the tortures of a headache. How over, always risk It and recom mend Bradycrotine.
