Miss Ruth’s Scholar. Miss Ruth Clifford has taken the seat of authority in her little school, oh Monday morning, the period of its commencement. She was a rosy, pretty little crea ture of scarcely sixteen, with a dimple in each cheek, lips like May roses, and big blue eyes, where the light seemed to glow and deepen at every impulse that passed through her mind. The idea of her beiilg a grim, stern schoolmistress was rather absurd, but then Ruth was poor, and they wanted some one to teach the school who had graduated in the city, so here she was at ten dollars a month, trying to look as old and dignified as pos sible. “Teacher! teacher!” croaked lit tle Tommy Marten, “here’s Hugh Leslie in the school, and the trus tees said he should’t come no more, ’cause he diift pay the last two quarters!” •‘Hugh Leslie, come here,” said Miss Clifford, pushing her brown curls away from her forehead with a puzzled air, and Hugh shambled up to the desk, a great awkward clown, full as old as the school mistress, and a head taller. “Is it true that you are behind hand with your tuition money!” asked Ruth. “Yes,m it’s true,” sullenly an swered the young giant, twisting his ragged cap m both horny hands. “Cause his father gets drunk, and his mother hain’t no money,” shrilly interrupted Tommy Mar tin. “Tommy, will you be silent!” said Ruth with dignity “Then, Hugh, what are you here tor !” “1 want to get book lamin’,’’sol emnly answered Hugh. “Teacher, he’s a real bad boy, he thrashed the master last term,” piped Mary Hopkins. “And he stole the picture books out o’ Joseph Miller’s “desk, chimed in Harry Smith. “Hugh,” said Ruth gravely, ‘‘you may go. I don’t care for such pu pils in my school.” Hugh turned slowly away, still twisting his cap, with downcast eyes ami drooping head, Ruth pi tied him in her heart. “Hugh,” she said, softly. ‘ Ma’am !” he started and turn ed. “1 am very sorry to send you away, Hugh. If I allow you tore main, do you think you can oebave j ourself!” “I’ll try, Ma’am,” tho boy said, with a gleam of bope in bis face. “And who’ll pay bis schoolin’ money !” demanded tho disappoint ed Tommy. “I will,” said Ruth: “Go and take your seat, Hugh” “You have improved very much, Hugh,” she said, as they walked home through the pine woods the last day of the term. “I am sorry I shall not be here next year to help yui on, but you must study perseveringly, and you will be sure to prosper.” “I'd like to learn a trade,” said Hugh, musingly, “and get a res pectable livin’.” “And there is no reason why you should not,” said Ruth, encourag ingly. “My folks are a. bad lot,” sighed the boy, “and nobody wants to em ploy Siab Leslie’s boy.” “Ilut when they see that Siah’s Leslie’s boy is honest and indus trious, and wishes to earn a decent livelihood, they willjudge very diff erently.” Hugh burst into tears. “Oh, teacher, teacher! you are the only one who ever told me 1 could be different from the dram drikin’ set at home. If you only wasn’t going away!" Ruth tried to console and com fort the lamenting young Goliath, but the last she saw of him he was sitting with his bead against the trunk of a tree, with now and then a strong sob shaking his whole form. “Poor fellow f” she thought, “I hoj>e he’ll come to good.” She did not know that, close to his heart, be was wearing a bit of blue ribbon that she had one day dropped in the school-room She might have smiled, bad she known it -she might have been angry. Rut to Hugh it was all he had left of (be pretty creature who had been like a guardian angel to him. And ten years passed away, and Ruth completely forgot the young clown of the village. “1 want you to look your pret tiest to-night, Ruth, tor I have a new cavalier to introduce to you—a spleuoid fellow !” ‘.Indeed! who is it f” “Well, he is a friend of Mr. Tra cy’s, just arrived from. Europe, w here I am told be has distinhuish- ed himself in scientific and literary circles, besides having received an inheritance from some far away 8ootcb relative that makes him in dependently weatby. Isn’t it quite romantic! And he is so handsome, too! His name is—” Rut here some new visitor, claim ing Mrs Tracy’s attention—it was the day of her weekly morning re ception-interrupted her enthusias tic recital, and Ruth Clifford did not hear the name of the new lion. However, she went home, and, ac ting on Mrs. Tracy’s suggestion, dressed herselt in “her prettiest,” no very elaborate costume to be sure, for Ruth was poor, but one whose delicate good taste could scarcely be rivaled, A white dress, relieved by straw colored ribbons and sash, and a few yellow roses in her bright hair, formed the whole of her toilet, but when she looked in the g ass after the finishing touch was given, and all was complete, there was a smile of gratified pride on her pretty lips. She did not think Mrs. Tracy would have rea son to be ashamed of her friend. “You are looking very nicely, my love,” said the young matron, with a sat is tied little nod, as she beck oned Ruth to ber side. And tivc minutes afterward, Ruth heard her name pronounced. ‘ Miss Clifford, allow me to pre sent Mr. Leslie.” Ruth looked timidly up into a pair of deep brown eyes, and as knowledged to herself that the European traveler was very hand some, with his stately, erect figure, his Greek features and polished, indescribable grace of his air and manner. Mr. Leslie devoted himself to Ruth that evening, and when she went home, she told her mother she nev er had such a “nice time” in all her life before. He called the next morning to in quire how-she was af ter the fa tigues of the party night, and lie sent a basket of Northern flowers^ that evening, and be took her to* the opera the next night, but one and presently Mrs, Tracy began to laugh and look knowingly. “You have stolen his heart away with your blue eyes and your de mure airs, Ruth,” she said, gayly. And one sott April evening, he asked her if she would be Ids wife —and she said yes. “My darling love,” he said, fer vently, “it is right and fitting that your happiness should be the care of my life, for it is your hand that has idled me to the position I now occupy in the world.” “My hand !” “Yes.” . He drew from his bosom a nar row, faded bit of blue ribbon. “Do .ton remember who dropped this ribbon from her hair, one an tiitnu day, ten years ago, in the lit tie red school-house at Lakeville!” Ruth looked at him in surprise. “And d > you remember who pick ed it up! a great awkward fellow, Hugh Leslie by name! Well, he has kept it ever since, and now he wears it, as a badge of tbe devotion be bears his sweet lady-love.” “Yes—but r* “Did you never suspect that we were one and the same! Well, 1 must confess we are changed—and yet, Ruth, I date my first aspira tion toward the good and noble on that day when you offered to pay my neglected schooling, and refus ed to listen to the parrot like asper sions of those around me, Ruth your scholar has graduated at last.” And Ruth Clifford felt iu the newly born glow of her happiness that she had indeed cast her bread upon the waters, and many days afterward it had returned to her. Two Glowing Passages. In Miss Cleveland’s novel, “Tbe Long Run,” appears the following exquisite passage: “The Western horizon gapes with crimson wounds that drop tbeir heavy ichor on city spires and domes, and redden city windows where tho golden sun beats through wounds that are not stanched (ill Venus, throbbing great and tender, rises to bind them up with love.” Tbe Nashville UniQU offers the following for Miss Rose’s considera tion • “And issuing from a yawning alleyway, when sheds and kitchens stand glaring in the gloom and grease, a shrieking yawl of cals in vites tbe nimble bootjack’s fferce at tack, which, burling in tbe gloom, goes crashing through the kitchen pane, and from the cruel wound thus made forth cankerous odors ooze in fusty, frowzy vapors that are not stanched till some one stuffs into the aperture a pillow washed before the war ” Wonderful Cares. W D. Hoyt &L’o., Wholesale and Retail Druggist of Rome, Ua , say. We have been selling Dr King’s New Discovery, Electric Bitters and Buckleu’s Arnica Salve for two years. Have never bandied reme dies that sell as well, or give such universal satisfaction. There have been some wonderful cures effected by these medicines iu this city.

Sold by Will- cox A Co., * “Rather Peculiar. Miss Julia ” (Froio the Columbia Itrgister.) It is a little peculiar, if not a lit tle funny, that the farmers’ move ment, or the Ben Tillman move ment, as it may be more properly called, should take up Governor Sheppard as their candidate, iu | view of the fact that their first cry, and their cry all the time, has been for “a new deal” and against the “ring.” Well, Governor Sheppard has been iu position as Speaker of the House and Lieutenant Governor from tbe time that Judge Wallace, his father-in law, vacated the Shaker's chair. It is a little |>eeu]iar that the “Simon Pares”should, with thetiist opportunity, take a lawyer who has been all the time in the ring, if there be a ring, whilst unqualified Simon Pure farmers like Richard son and Bratton are to be consign to a back seat, so far as the Till man tattlers are concerned. It is a little peculiar that Col Lip scomb. tbe Master of tho State Grange, should be sat down on as not true to tbe fanners’ iutere-t be cause he tackled Tillman’s facts. It is a little peculiar tii.’t men like Colonel James N. Lipscomb and D’Arcy Duncan and A. P. But ler, wbo pronounced against tbe lien law y ears ago am] fought it as a vicious and ruinous feature of legislation, should count as nothing in the Tillman hosts, whose only substantial ground of complaint is this very lieu law. It is a little peculiar that the ‘leading journal,” which advocated, this lieu law in season and out of season and opposed its repeal, should now spread its sails to the Tillman Sheppard breeze. It is a little peculiar that the complainers against the conduct of affairs ami the denouncers of ring rule and bad and extravagant measures should put forward Governor Shep pard as their chosen exponent, when he above all others—admit ting the charges of the reformers to be true—is tbe one man iu the State most responsible above all others for such legislation. It is an admitted fact that in our day the committees of legislative bodies not only shape their measures, but absolutely control tinir action. Now, ( loveruor Sheppard has been tbe presiding officer ot one or the other of the two houses of the As sembly for some eight.years out of nine that the Democrats have been iu p iwer, and, of course, lias been responsible tor the appointment of these controlling committees in one or the other house all the time. Of course there is no blame to be attached to Governor Sbeppied for taking all the fish that come to his net, but if i» peculiar that the fish should swim to that net by first in tention. There are consistencies and in consistencies in this world, but this Farmers’ Movement seems to have been consistently inconsistent from tuo word go. They eagerly com plained of the inspection fees on fertilizers ol twenty-five cents a ton as a tax on the tanner. Their lead ing reformer, Ben Tillman, tor the support of his Mississippi College plan, says they inust absorb this fee along with tne Agricultural De partment and sneak on another twenty-five cents a ton to support the Simon-Pure college. They com plained ot tho burdensome taxation, and would wipe out the State’s time honored institutions of learn ing in consequence. At the same time, their Ben proposes the estab lishmcntot a great agricultural col lege on tbe Mississippi plan, which will cost not less tban8d0U,00G They charged, through the mouth of their incontinent talker, every body and everything with Iraud or extravagance and personal intri gue, and iu their big ••Tillman Con vention” they by resolution exoner ated everybody and everything. They objected to Thompson because be had held office long enough. They take up Sheppard, who sat right along side of him. They de clared tbeir movement did not mean politics. They are hero iu force iu apolitical convention as a distinc tive feature of the body, to set up whom they please and to set down whom they please. They declared against tho ins and iu favor of tbe outs, and they head their move ment with an iu who will always be au iu, if persistently going iu and keeping in means anything. There are strange things and strange peo ple iu this world, but this Farmers’ Movement beats tbe beater for say ing one thing and doing another, and doing one thing whilst declar ing such things outrageous in the next breath. It is one of the most peculiarities by way of a movement we have ever witnessed in a lifetime, or ever heard of iu the history of rations! ajen. Just What They All Say. Hon. D. D. Uaynie of Salem, Ills, says he uses Dr. Bosauko’s Cough and Lung Sryup iu b» family with the most satisfactory results, in all eusees of Cough’s Colds and Croup, and recommends it iij particular for (be little ones. Sample bottle free »t Wilicux & Co. The Christian Church Can Overthrow the Rum TriHc. Yes, put tho strength of the Church in opposition to the liquor traffic at the ballot tmx; cast its vote for sober men, and right measures, and we shall quickly have prohibi tion It bos power to control elections. And the wonder is why do not all good men and women labor and vote for such legislators ouly as w ill favor the prohibition of the accurs ed traffic How can a Christian man vote to license a business which he knows will ruin young and old ! He knows the man be votes to li cense to sell liquors is tu tuning an appetite upon many of hip nei. h bors, which certainly leads to death. He knows that the man lie votes for is in favor of the lieensod sa loon and is a drunkard maker. He knows drunkards cannot in herit the kingdom of God. The man that sells liquors is the producer of disease, poverty and death. « He takes bread from children’s months; clothing off’ the backs ot hundreds of women and children, and puts them on his ow n. Tbe saloon man is opposed to keeping Sabbath ; lie ignores the sovereignty of God ; denies the day of judgment. He is the upholder of a progtos- sive evil. lie does not wait for his victims to come into his coils, hut he goes out in many enticing ways to en snare and entrap men and boys, and bold them until death releases them. These saloon men are wolves prowling among the people licensed by law to do their work of death. Now the question is, have the women and helpless children no right to demand of the Christian voter protection from this destruc tive traffic ! Must these mills grind out death and damnation without being stop pod ! They know families are ruined ; they know that industrious citizens are oppressed by taxation to pay costs of crime and criminal suits that come directly from tiie saloon, Must this deadly upas tree spread its blanches over tlic fair gardens of earth and blight and blast them foi time, and the people for eternity! Can any Christian man or wo man, point out one solitary good that has ever come from rum ! Why, then, is the evil permitted to exist! What reason can you give for it ! Why wi 1 Christian men and wo men attack every other minor evil but shrink hack from this king ot all evils! Why are politicians afraid of it 1 Because they are moral cowards, afraid to wage war against vice ! The Lord turbid that 1 shoul 1 in the least compromise with bell ami death !—Joseph R Anderson, in Herald, Tenn. Death of Hou. Samuel J, Tilden. The lion. Samuel J. Tilden died at Greystoue, near New York City, on the morning ot the i'h of Au gust. He had been enjoying his usual health up to > the Saturday evening previous, when he was taken with u slight chill, which settled ou his stomach and bowels, producing iuilamatiou, from which he suffered all night. On Sunday morning he felt slightly improved and was able to ride out. Iu the evening, however, he felt much worse, ami continued to grow weaker but until Monday night there were no fears of the couse qm-uces. On Tuesday morning it became apparent that the end was near. Dr. Charles E. Siiomouds and Miss Gould, a relative of Mr. Tilden, were at his bedside a few moments before he died, fie tried to speak, but only moved his lips, tailing to make any sound. He passed away quietly and peacetul- 'y,. The President sent tho following telegram to Colonel Samuel J. Til- den, Jr., the nephew of the deceas ed. “I have this moment learned of the sndden death of your illustrious relative, Samuel J. Tilden, and has ten to express my individual sorrow in an event by which the State of New York has lost he most distin guished son and the nation one of its wisest and most patriotic coun selors.” The funeral services wejv held at Greystoue at 10 a. m., Saturday August 7, after which the remains will be taken to New Lebanon, Columbia county, for interrueut. “A half bottle of Hughes’ Tonic has cured a physician here of chills and fever.
