Neliie Las;on was the only child
of these piaia but well to-da people.
Tbey bad given ber every advantage,
and Biie was now an acccmplihbed,
fascinating giri. Sae was of ueoiurn

hair, llereyea were grey, eo possess

The "city chap" waB Lloyd Whit
low, who was a model cf roaeruline
beauty, was thoroughly educated,
and passed among tbos? who knew
him aa "a very good sort of afeiiow."
He bad come in the early Bcmmer
time to fish and boat in thai wild and
quiet country place; he had met sweet
Nellie Easton, won ber heart, and
bad given her the keepiug of his own
His home was in a distant city, wiib
an aged, eccentric uncie, who bad
made bim beir to bis vast esta.es;
threatening, however, to change the
will if he heard of Lloyd's attempt
ing to marry before be, tba uncle
died.
Nellie was one of those kind of
women who would be true to the
death to the man she loved; bo, for
fear of ruining Lloyd's prospects, she
would not even let her parents Ino v
how affairs stood between them. The
moon was shinint brighilv. and Mr.
Easton opened the door in time to
sae Nellie's lover kiss her goodnight,
jump in his sleigh and drive cff. Tbe
girl stood and watcbed bin down the
lane, out into the high-road, op the
little bill and out of sight.
"My goodness! Nellie, do come in,"
called tbe father, impatiently. "Vou
711 freeze to death out there."
Tbe girl turned and walked slowly
down the narrow, Bnowy path to tbe
house, went in, fiat down before tbe
olating fire in a listless sort of a way
so unnatural to ber that the mother
asked:
"What's the mytter, Nellie."
"Nothing, mother," with an attempt
to smile, and added, in tbe next
breath:
"Mr. Whitlow ia going borne to
morrow." "Hope be'll stay there," growled
the old farmer. "This thing of having
a beau," be went on, viciously pok
ing the fire, "that can't never marry
rer till be steps in a dead man's shoes
don t suit me. loudenougn eight
better take llez bambatch. 1 1 el do
a good part by yer."
"Father," paid Neliie, going be
hind the old man'a chair, aad putting ,
ber arms about Lis neck, "I'll never
marry llez. Why need I ma-ry any
one? Can't I stay bere with moth
er and you?"
"Vou needn't talk tnat way, little
girl," said the father, kissing tbe face
so close to bis; you'll never end yer
days on tbe farm. Bat go to bed
now; it's getting on toward midnight, "
80 Nellie went; went and dreamed
of the letter which she was going to
ret from Lloyd next mail-day; of the
letter whicb did not come. The lone
ly hours of many long and bitter
days slowly faded away, and the
ebadows of many evenings gathered
about Nellie, until tbe days and even
ings formed weeks, and tbe weeks
changed into months; and still waiting
was poor Nellie Easton to bear from
ber absent lover. Time after time had
sbe written to bim, and only ceased
to write when she learned by inquiry
that be bad crossed tbe ocean with
his uncle.
In tbe little world aronnd tbe
Eastons affairs went on about tbe
same as ever, a heart was breaking
in their midst, bnt so quietly did the
operation proceed that very "few took
note of it There were tbe osual
amount of quilting-bees, wool-pickings
and apple-cuttings.
At all these Nellie bad before been
the reigning belle. Good Mr. Eas
ton was at loss to know why ber
neighbors of late eh often forgot to
include her daughter's iame in their
invitations to her.
"It's sheer envy I believe," he
would say to Nellie, "because that
young Whitlow picked you above
'em all to wait on."
I wish to mercy," he would add
to herself, "that she'd never sot eyes
on him, though; for I never did see
eoch a change in a girl. She's a
mourning herself in the grave after
him."
Mrs. Easton decided to go a quilt
ing and log-rolling one day, to which
her daughter had not been invited, in
order that sbe might tell her friends
what she thought of their conduct

There was a chord of grief io the
o'.d n.an'3 voice iiitit did not escape
Ntllie's notice. It asided to her un
utterable nouieh. With a moan of
pain, liko a wounded animal at bay,
sbe threw herself upon tho fl or, bid
ing Lcr faco over the picture cf the
aian that had brought all this tptrn
her.
"Why don't yuu (HH-ek, girl? Is
ibis thing true !"'
Still no answer.
. "Vou needa't lie groveling there, if
it is. Ti.is hmifo can't shelter such
as tba, f said ice old man, white
with rage.
Tbe words reached the poor Lalf
Btunried creature, who rose aad piss
ed fiom her father's presence out in
to tbe raging storm and piercing cold,
a'.ore and unprotected.
Mr?. Easton beard tbe loud tones
of her husband, and, determined to
room. Ice father was alone.
"Where's Nellie?"
Mr. Easton pjinted out of the
open door.
' Oh, father how could you turn
our child out on puch a night as thie?
You nnd I could scarceiy make it
home, and we came such a little way.
And phe will peek no shelter. Ob,
my chiid ! my child !"
"Nellie!" she shrieked, running
cut of the boue, down the lane to
the highway; "Nellie, come back!"
in vain tbe mctber called and call
ed. Hurrying back to the house, she
greened her husband by tbe arm and
said, in a voice that l e felt compelled
to obev :
"We rcust go back to the house
we just came from and get tbo men
to search for fcer She can't get
very far awry ia this storm. ''
And so, wiibin two hours, she
wae found ; fouad on tbo road side,
insensible, and not many minutes too
soon, either. Most ot those who
saw ber when she was brought to the
house where the gatberiag had been
that day it being the nearest shel
ter thought her dead. There was
not one in all that crowd whose heart
did not ache over tbe sufferings of
tbe poor girl and tne agony cf tie
parents.
Nellie's eyelids preesed down so
heavily upon the white cheeks that
Death himself might have laid Lis
eternal seal on, were raised at last,
and the gray eyes, with their nntold
depths of Borrow, rested upon the
crowd of faces about ber. She turn
ed ber bead away, aad reaching to
ward her mother, cobbed : ' I have
suffered so much, Ob, mother, moth
er, why didn't you let me die ?"'
And then, after a little pa me, she
added :
"I will tell you oow. It peemed
puch a fehallow story that I could uot
tell you befjre, not even ti-night,
when father was S3 angry. And 1
knew that you would all say saeb
bard things abiut L!ovd ; and I felt
as though I could not bear it ; so 1
have kept pitting i: cff until now.
Early last fall Lljyd took me to the
ciiy, aud we were married by a
friend of Lis, whose name I do not
remember. We both decided to
keep our marriage a secret aa long as
we could. When we found it must
be told Lloyd said he would go first
and confess to his Uncle, hoping thus
to be forgiven, and he would return
for me. If bis uncle cart him off we
were to tell you and then ak for a
home on the farm. He has never
come back ; never answered one of
my letters. On inquiry I learned
that he was traveling in Europe.
Where be is now I cannot tell."
"lAojai Ub, Lioyd:' the poor
thing sobbed, "you have forsaken me,
but I cannot bate yoa. You have
made my name a by-word among my
friends, but I love you still; and, fa
ther and mother, forgive me, but I
would leave you both to-night and
follow bim to the uttermost part cf
the earth to bear bim say once more,
as be Used to, Nellie, little wife, I
love you.' Dot I shall never see bim
again. I gave that op long ago. If
I could only give up this terrible
heartache. But it will stay with me
till I die. And oh ! father, mother,
bow I wish I were dead now."
Several months afterwards, at Nel
lie's urirent anneals. Farmer Easton
decided
to sell ont and take his
danirhter and her child from the
place where she had been so nnban-
py. bo tbey found a borne in the
West. There the old man met loss
after loss nntil Nellie began to real
ize that sbe would have to Bopport
tbe family with her own earnings.
Sbe tried sewing, and failed at it;
gave music lessons and failed at tbat.
"Try the stage," a friend advised
one day.
"Don't laugh at me," said Nellie.
"1 am in earnest," urged the
friend. "I discovered long ago that

Use ciirtu tbore wan a crowded
lkfore it was time lor her to appear

the foxes the face of Lloyd Whitlow
the husband whom ane bad not
scon Lt nearly threo years. Siie did

aa adrpt at controiling her fceiiuga
to d j tiihtr. Uer first sensation was
nnu.?ri.ie iir. Not once did the
tbink l lie ears of suleriug he Lad
meic-d out to her. Slie only ihoug'.ii :
"Will be know mo in my cew posi

and come back to me?" And then
she remembered w hat a penchant be
hd for ac.rcbs iu . the oid times,
aiidlhtn fcfcethjughi, wiib a thrill
of pleasure, "1 behove be will be

A friend at her cloow looked to

The curtain fell on the first act;
the bad made Lertlt ri ro;;o,7
with the audience.
The curiaia fell on the
tccond.
She had made in this such a finished
hat sbo had com
pletely won the hearts of her audi
ence, who were enthusiastic over
her.
The one all absorbing thought with
Nellie, between teu, wai:"lf she
will only stay away!"
At the close of tte third act Lloyd
re-entered the bor. Nellie knew it
without looking at him. She felt
his presence. The curtain fell. She
never knew whether she -was ap
plauded or not. Jfbhawas, tbo did
not bear it. She had not got off the
stage when she realizad tbat she was
being clasped by a pair of strong
arms.
Lloyd Whitlow's face was above
hers, kissing her lips, her brow, her
eyes, over and over again. Unmind
ful ot tbe lookers on, behind the cur
tain, he cailetl her by all tbo endear
ing, pet nsmes tbat sbe rememoered
in the olden times.
A shiver of exqeieito jjy ran
through pjor Nellie's frame. Sbe
was delirious with rapture. bat
happiness to know that tbe arms en
circling her were Llovd's arms ; that
his breath was on ber cheeks. Lis
dear eyes looking down with tbe old
look ot love into hers, but it most
not last. Heavens ! could she tear
herself away from this man, whom
she bad so long idolized ? From
this man who was tbe father of ber
boy? And then she thought cf bis
beautiful wife sittiug within a few
feet of them, but out of sight, and
the thought maddened her.
"I nhand me, sir I ' sbe hissed, "or
I will scream aloud for help;" ebe
sprang away from him like an en
raged tigress, to appear the next sec
ond on the stage to go through tbe
la-t act of the wife's desertion. A nd
didn't she act it gloriotislv? She
was not off tbe stae until just be
fore the the close cf tbe act, and then
only for a minute.
Tbe friend that sho had been talk
iag with before the play commenced
came running up t tier aad asked:
"Why didn't you tell roe, Nellie,

friend was disinherited for some
cause, and his cousin cot all bis for

with him, and they are both rich aud
travelling together,
Nellie weat back to take up ber
part. Her dramatic husband was to
appear at a distance. Sbe was to
stretch out ber arms to him, ard bv
the silent eloquence of the act was to
invite bim back to her.
She could not help what she did
instead. Her arms would reach out
toward tbat private box, and ber lips
would murmur, "Lloyd, my husband,
come back to me." There was a
world of exquisite eloquence ia the
action. Lloyd Whitlow bad the
beautiful actress in Lis arms once
more ia leas time than i can tell it.
and tbat curtain never full on a pret
tier tableau. Storm after strra cf
applause awakened every ecbj in tbe
building. The denooemeut of the
play puzzled the crowd, but they en
joyed it all the same.
Within an hour, Lloyd Whitlow
had his boy in bis arms, and Nellie
was at his feet, holding tight one
band, listening to his explanation.
It tock a couple tbat loved each
other as well as Lloyd and Nellie
did, several hours to go over it all.
There were ejaculations and self-condemnations
and "Ob, bowl-love
you's," and rapturous kisses and
"sich" without end.
All that we need to know is, that
when Lloyd left Nellie to get absolu
tion tbe crafty uncle promised bim,
oa condition tbat he would go with
him as travelling companion for six
months. Lloyd wrote to Nellie ex-
plaininir and tellmar ber to Dublih
their marriage, and tbat whenever
sbe wanted him to return he would!
leave. That letter and all tbe letters
written, by these two were intercept
ed by a hired agent. Lloyd not

home. Tbe uncle's excuse was that

Nellie left the sta?e. TLe world

Tbe Bri Moauera.
There died recently Oliver II. Per
ry, not a eon of the lam ous Com mo
dule Ferry, as has been stated, but
some relative, and distinguished
chiefly as Laving been oa tbe United
States b'ig Somers in l2, when
young Spencer was illegally executed
bv Lieuienant Mackenzie and his
' baj subordinates.
Young Ferry was Lieutenant Mac
kenzie's nephew and clerk. Tbe
brig was a Piuall, crank craft, aDd
was a sort cf school ship, the subor
dinate cfBeera being young midship
men. Spencer was seventeen, a son
of John C Spencer, of Now York,
Secretary of iho Treasury. It was
said of young Spencer, as of many,
tbat he had been a wild boy. He
had crudely sketched a plan to seize
the brig and turn pirate. It was like
the fancies familiar to biys who read
novel of bold pirates and highway
men. It was bo crude, absurd and imprnc
ticaule, and without support, that to
any man in bis fecscail would pppear
only tbe iululgence of a boyish con
ceit. The paper waa in sstne way fchowa
to Mackenzie, and be worked himself
and youthful pubordinatcs into lie
idea of a planned conspiracy t mur
der them a!! and convert the b-ig in
to a pirate.
Wi rds ia dog Lv.ia were

lie excited himself aud them with
the theatrical specaele of a grand
court-martial, in which they were to
sit as judges cf Iifo and death, aud as
saviors of tLe ship and of their pro-fes.-i;tal
honor.
11? the law thev should have la:id-
oil tbe accused at the first port, if not
sum to brine; tbem to the V ailed
States, aud they were not far from
St. TLoma, but they could not forego
their dramatic performance.
So the lieutenant and his boys
firmed a court-martial aud sentenced
Spencer and a couple of young h inds
named Lromwchanu Suiail, and tbeu
the crew was uada to hang them by
hauling them by the neck up to the
yard arm. It was a mostpilitiil mur
der, dune from a mixture of fright
and romantic exultation. When they
got borne they reported their tmruic
rescue of the brig ia their own way,
giving a frightful picture of murder
and piracv, and so they prepossessed
the public ear. A court of inquiry
was held, but Mackenzie and the
youths wbo bad done tbe deed nnder
bis mil uence wero the witnesses, ana
they made tbe situatiou frightful
enough. So nothing came of it.
The answer agreed apou by ou to
tbo question why tbey did not deliver
Spencer at St. Thomas to be held for
trial was, that it would dishonor the
United States Navy to call on a for
eign power.
The fol'owicg is tbe way this
mock heroic answer is related of Fer
ry, who was then a mere boy :
"lie has lived in my recollection
because cf his noblo reply to the
Court of Inquiry when asked if
Spencer, Cromaeli and Small could
not have been kept in irons and de
livered to tbe British naval comman
der at St. Thomas, a few days' sail
from tbe place of execution. Ferry
answered, 'Ferbaps they could.'
'Then,' said the court, 'why did
you vote for their death ?' 'Because,'
said Ferry, 'I thought if an Ameri
can man-of-war couldn't protect her
self there would ba no use in having
any !' The reply wa3 worthy of hia
race."
And bo Ferry goes into history as
a hero for this boyish, affrighted, the
atrical killing of three innocent per
sons, and bringing ibis ternblo ca
lamity upon one of tbe most eminent
families of the country.

she appearance of idiocy by a pecu
liar method of combing tbe bair down
over the forehead 1 bis hideous de
formity is evidently copied from tbe
patients of lunatic asylums and
schouls for the feeble minded.
Tbe effect is shocking Although
not fastidious, I shrink from these
ladies as children shrink from a hid
eous mask.
Is it a protest against being con
sidered strong-minded that tbe young
women thus assume the garb ot idio
cy? I am told tbat a lady thus de
graded ii Said to have ber hair "bang
ed." But it seems tome tbat ber
sanity must be badly binged to thus
deform berstlf.
The present but weather is made
more intolerable by the spectacle of
women with dresses whicb din? to
their forms with a closeness positive
ly indelicate dresses drawn back by
some si ranee attachment behind,
which fetters every movement. If
the "banted" vouoz woman haa
made mv blood run cold, tbo pulled
back lady throws me into a profuse
tersrira:ion out of sympathy with
her self-inflicted martyrdom. Will
the ladies of tbe New England Wo
man's Club kindly inform me why
women thus make guys of them
selves? .
Outrage If rdra.
Memphis, Oct 21. Intelligence
was received this afternoon of two
murders committed io this county
under the fjilowinir alleged circum
stances :
A party cf white men on last Fri
day night entered a dwelling of a ne
gro liviog on the farm of George H.
Mi hnsrton. near Ulencoe. ieno.. a
town 15 miles north of this city, and
killed him while lying in bed with
bis wife and children.
Tbe verdict
of tbe Coroner s lory was, he came
'to bis death from gon and pistol shot
wounds inflicted bv one 1 1 ill and
j McCain. McCain was 'varrested, bnt
II il! fled and was panned by J. L.
Tally, constable, and a posse of three
men, wbo overtook Hill the follow
ing nioraing at Cuba, Tenn , five
miles distant from the scene tf tbe
murder. Tbey attempted to arrest
the fugitive, who, drawing two pi
tela, defied tbe officers and effaced
bis escape. Several negroes living;
10 tte neighborhood of Cuba, heariog
of tbe murder last Saturday night,
killed a white man earned Baird,
who wa5 found ssleep on the porch
of a grocery ptore at Cuba. The ne
groes riddled his body with buck
shot, thinking he was tbe man Hill
w bo bad resisted arrest that morn
ing.
"Xot If It a mj Uot."
Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, tbe eminent educator, deliver
ed an address at tLe opening of some
reformatory institution for boys, dar
ing which be remarked that if only
one boy was saved from ruin it would
pay for all the cost, and care, and la.
bor of establishing such an institution
aa tbat After the exercises had
closed, in private conversation, a
gentleman rallied Mr. Mann uoon bis
statement, and said to him :
"Did you not color tbat a little
a hen yoa said that all that expense
and labor would be repaid if it only
saved one boy ?"
"Not if it was my boy," was tLe
solemn and convincing replv.
Ah, there is a wonderful value
about "My !cy." Other boys may
be rudd and rough; other b jya may
be reckless and wild; ether boys may
seem to require more pains aud labor
than tbey will over repay; other boys
mty be left to drift uncared for to the
ruin which is bo near at hand; but
"My boy" it were worth the toil of
a lifetime and tbe lavUh wealth of a
wotld to save Lim from temporal and
eternal ruio. We would go tbe
world around to save bim trciu peril,
aad would bless every hand that was
stretched out to give Ltlp or welcome.
And yet every poor, wandering, out
cast, bomele8 man is one whom
nine fond molhec called "My boy."
Every lost woman, sunken iu the
depths of pin, was somebody's daugh
ter iu Ler childish innocence. To
day somebody's son is a hungry cut
vast, piesred to the verire ofciime
and hia
lo.dav somcb jilv b daugh
ter is a weary, heirless wanderer,
driven by necessity iuto the paths
that leal t) dea'b. Shall we bbtiuk
from l-br, shall we hesitate at cost,
when the work befjre us id the salva
tion of a bnul ? Not ii it ia "My boy;"
not if we have tbo love if Him who
gave Ilia lifo to save the lost.

Captain Iioscoe Burke, of
liteatiier Henry Ciay, plying
tween Cincinnati arid Wabisb,
tbo
b
re-
Idiea the following :
Down on the Mississippi, near St
Louis, oue of the boilera expludcd or
collapsed in backing away from a
wood wharf, and the steamer was
sicking. Mauy of the passengers
had leaped overboard, some with
life preservers aud some without
Among tbe latter, who had been
swept over by the wildly rushing
mas) of bumauity, were a foy 12
years old and Li mother. A man
upon the stern of tbe boat, seeing
the boy buffeting the troubled waves,
attempted to throw him a rope, and
at tbe same lime crying out to Lim
to catch it and save himself from
drowning.
"No 1 no!" cried the little hero,
pointing to a woman who struggled
resolutely close by his side, "save
mv mamma end let me go! I can
swim and she cannot."
Both were saved, and we can
readily believe that boy was a hero
in all honor while he remained on
board. Tbat his mother was fond of
him, worshiping him from tbe depths
of her heart, was evident to all.
Happy- llnutlnirdon.
