Cert, many a fl wring shoot,
With the wholesome earth at root,
Well may envy you, my queen,
ltlooming from each lelli unclean.
Yet is wrought no occult xpell:
Nature but ditiose well
All her forces; then she grows
Here a Hly, there a rose.
One she tends with dew and sun,
Otitis in finest mould, and one
Buries 'neuth the dark and slime,
Bidding each to bide its time.
Till, arrived at blossoming growth.
She is justified of both;
Since, which sweetest is, who EDO
Or the lily or the rose?
Therefore, O ye darkened souli,
Struggling upward unto goal
Ye must reach 'gainst bitter odds,
Courage! Nature's ways are God's.
What though he withhold from you
For a season, sun and dew?
Where you cannot understand
Trust U bis transmuting hand.
He who made the water wine
Knew this alchemy divine;
Though the paths of pain he trod,
Perfect grew the Sou of God.
He is risen laying down
Toil for triumph, cross for crown;
He is risen; soul of mine.
Courage! conquer by this sign '.

Bob hadn't come near to go down
with a carriage.
Mrs. Dick actually stamped her
slippered foot on the crimson roses
of the carpet, as she looked at the
clock.
After all her trouble in getting her
et friend to come into the country
at that season of the year (for Elinor
whs jmssionHtely fond of the water,
and always lingered at the seashore
until late" in Oi to! er) and assuring
her that her handsome brother Bob,
no other than the incomparable
Lieutenant Robert St. Charles,

attentions from Hob would win her
favor nice as Hob 1st and for him
to act this way now ! And what ex
cuse I can ever make for him I do
not know ! '
Then she grew pensive, threading
nut flip . mint friiio-e nf ailkv locks
JalMiut her forehead: and when the
golden hair was knotted with blue,
- l WIt shoulders encased in
la lfrilled sacqneof white opera
flannel, the charming apparition in
the mirror was smiling, iu spite of
Mrs. Dick's last dreadful words.
Mies Elinor Paxton was welcoru- j
ed with a little scream cf exultation i
from Mts Dick.
"Oh, you dear, delightful Nelly !
Have jou come at last ? I didn't ex- ,v:a ine ' -7

So the ladies disappeared in the
direction pf the chambers, where
t ey
chatted with delight until they
came down, nnssed tor dinner.
' A graceful, brown ejed girl of
twenty, whose toilet was always

at the first glance.

needs soon step asiue to avoiu a
young man who dushed in at a side
gate with tuch in)H;lua as to make a
Collision with him apprehensible 4
handsome young man, with a per
spiring brow, and a great bouquet
ot trreeuhouse rone iu his hand.
''Effie;" he exclaimed, coming to
a halt.
"Well, sir?" returned Mrs. Dick,
haughtily,
"1 I hope I have not inconve
nienced you by my almence?"
"It is of no consetjuence," replied
the little lady, icily.
Then she turned to Elinor, who
was trifling with a spray of red
leaven : '
"Miss Paxton, allow me to intro
duce to you my brother Robert?"
Elinor's sweet eyes glanced once
at the handsome head of close crop
ped curls which ben, so low before
her, and she wondtsted much why
Effie was so short1, with her very
bonny brother, while" she mechanic
ally murmured the words of con
ventional greeting. -
"Your Mowers are-fiue, remarked
Mrs. Dick, distaiatty, breaking a
puude. "Mav I ask whom ihev are
intended for?"
Certainly Lieutenwnt St. Charles
was not in his sister's good graces
when she culled him Robert. But
he bravely executed a coup dt main.
"For yourself, mygdear "Effie."
Mrs. Dick could not but thaw as
she received this fragrant burden.
"Perfectly lovely I aren't they.
Elinor? Ot course, you haven't l-wt
your dinner, Bob. The cook had
ordeis to keep a dish or two hot
And, when you have dined, come
and join us in the arbor."
Hut it seems a if Mrs. Dick was
right the golden opportunity had
lieeu lost ; the happy fiist impres
sion had not been made; Robert was
without his usual gallant bearing in
Miss Paxton 'a presence, and Elinor
was quietly civiL ,
Mrs. Dick was vexed beyond en
durance.
What made Bob so stupid, ami
Nelly so indiffert.nl? It wasn't in
the. nature of things for a handsome
young man and a beautiful girl to
lie never the least bit agreeable to
e.icli other for a whole week. .But it
was all Bob's fault, he declared to
her liu.-lmiid, who laughed at the
misfortune of her match making
And at last Elinor's visit came to
an end.
Mrs. Dick was too vexed at Bob
to ask him to drive to the station
with her guest She went herself;
and when she came back, she fell to
reproaching her brother.
"I don't see why you didn't like
Nell, Bob. I never knew a man
before who didn't, you can't have
very good taste."
Bob, smoking on the ver inda, re
ceived her remarks with provoking
calmness. A.J'
"You wouldn't nave alt 'mascu

Miss Paxton, would you?" he Baid.
"It is a wise dis'msition of Provi
dence. 1 think, that tastes differ."
"But vnu might have cut out the
others if you had tried. Bob; I
know you might I But after your
first neglect Nelly was quite inter
ested in you until then she appear
ed to be "perfectly indifferent And
I'm sure you didn't try to make her
otherwise. I never knew you to be
so stupid," and Mrs. Dick retired
from the scene of action, leaving her
brother to the coming moonlight and
his cigar.
Now, though Mrs. Dick quarrelled
so seriously wijh her handsome
brother he wa the apple of her eye.
and all might have lieen forgiven, if
not forgotten, if events had not sub
sequently transpired to break her
heart ant w.
Bob, immaculate in Sunday morn
ing costume, a few davs later, flirted
from his breast a handkerchief of
ierfumed cambric, and a blue ribbon
dropped to tbe floor.
The air with which he Wnt and
restored it to its hiding pbee would
have revealed the truth had not the
ribbon been so unmistakably femi
nine in character.
Mrs Dick caught her breath. Not
only bad Bob failed to fall in love
with Elinor Paxton, but had actually
fallen in love with another young
lady !
Though this was too much for
Mrs. Dick to bear without demon
stration, and though she said noth
ing to her brother, she related the
whole story of Bob's vil behavior to
hr husband, and Mrs. Dick was
forced to make a confident of Elinor
herself.
She wrote her the whole account
of her botrt-a and dans : her secret
wishes and bitter disappointments, !
and despatched the letter forthwith '
to Elinor's city residence. I
But Elinor was apparentlv too!
busy at the beginning of the season I
to write a renlv.
No resnonse came. But it was
a
p-rent relief to Mrs. Dick to be sore
tht "Nellie knew and syuapathiied
with her"
She bore her grief in silence, even

actually saw them, tied with a satin ;
ribbon, in the top drawer of Bob's
dressing case.
Poor, little Mrs. Dick ! She actu
ally lost flesh and color, this disap
pointment was bo serious a one to
her..
Sbe really loved Elinor Paxton,
as she dearlv loved Boh ; she would
have been delighted to call her sis
ter ; and to have a strange woman
come tn Dale Park as her brother's
wife for Bob never flirted would
be a life long grief to her.
But in November, Bob vent to
the city for a few weeks and did net
notice bis sisters indisposition
She was feeding the birds in the
aviary, one day, wnen a servent
brought her a letter. It was from j
Bob. She tore it open.
"My Dear SraTEt: Shall I sur-
wile and I win oe a lortnignt nere
before retuminc U Dale Park. Be
.ready with your most guahing wel-
come, for I, at least, am fairly light
headed with happioess.
Your aff clionate brother,
"Bob."
Mrs. Dick turned enow while and
nearly sauk upon the grass.
"Married ! Bob really tn trried!"
Her excited feelings and sorrows
of heart found relief in a burst of
tumultuous weepiui!.
You would have pitied poor, little
Mrs. Qick, I atn sure, had you seen
the tears running between her slen
der fit.gers seen her pretty, bowed
head and heaving bosom.
But wtieu she had wept off the
fifbl excitement, the little l.tdv did
her best to behave in a dignified and
suitable manner as Bob's sister and
only living relative.
She wrote to him, and if the letter
did not "gush," it was courteous and
cordial as well as correct consider
ed in the light of ''first congratula
tions." If Bob missed something from
this epistle of his spontaneous little
bister, he yet kept up good courage
in view ol meeting her.
At last the bridal pair arrived.
The rich fall garden had all faded;
the fountains were shut off; the
landscape was as sad as Mrs. Dick's
secret heart us she dressed and went
dowu to the drawing room to met,
for the fir?t time, the Unknown Mrs.
St Charles.
To Hi ink Bob's marriage, to which
she had looked forward with happy
anticipations all her life, should be

lau"h of delight how well she knew

"Nelly, Nelly! Oh, Bob! is this

"My wife? It is, madam !"' repeat
ed Bob, proudly, as betlivested him

wrappings with an unnii.-Uk tide air
of wor.-hip.
"Why. Effie," catching sight of his
sister's I'ice, "didu" you know ?''
"No; I thought it was some hor
ridhorrid" Mis Dick came very near faint

slapped her hands, and coaxed her
to laugh instead.
"The ribbon" she began.
"Was Nelly's."

until a few days ago, Effie," put in
Elinor. "Instead of returning to
town I went down to N ttitt.-ket for
a few weeks more. The weather was

I thought he had told you of our en

incoherently. -I never was so hap

How She Made It.
Not long since Wakefield Starkey,
of Austin, while crossing the track
of the International & Great North
ern railroad on a valuable mule,
va struck by a locomotive and kill
ed. The mule was also hurled into
eternity. Wakefield Starkey, al
though a perfect gentleman on the

was suggested to the widow that she

of the railway company. The prop

widow had such a clear case against
the company that it was deemed ad

"Now, madam," said the official,
after the widow had thrown back

"re are willing to do what is fair in
this matter. There is really no oc

subject to discuss, so, I think, with

you will sign a paper releasing the

indifference of the southern gentle
man to the welfare of all whom he
thinks are below him socially.
, Before the war these poor whites
weretre tted worse than slaves. They
had the ballot and when the elec
tion day drew near the South Caro
lina gentlemen u-el to herd them
in corrals, called null pens here, and
supplying them with whisky, kept
them drunk until tney were ready
lo have theiu cast their b.illots. In
creditable as litis story sounds, it
lus been told to me hv so manv
persons that I believe it to be the
truth.
A sand-hiller is a raw boned,
gaunt, cadaverous man. He is put
together loosely. He shambles in
his gait. He is bumble in spirit,
and looks downward as though
searching for lost coin. There is a
peculi.tr side glance from the corn
ers of hes eyes, a furtive, timid,
abashed glance that thoroughly ex
presses the craven spirit of the creat
ure. His wife is generally a de
i rt-ssed looking female, much given
to pipe smoking, tobacco chewing,
and occasionally to the pleasure ol
clay eating. His children are simp
ly young sand hillers. Some of them
of tender years, are slaves of the clay
habit The.-e people live in squalid
hovels, hidden Irom the sight of
passing travelers by trees. Many ol
theee wretched dwellings stand in
ravines where there is a little level
land fit for agriculture. A few chick
ens stalk sadly around the yards.
A pig, lean, active, straight tailed,
walks with hungry briskness about
the house. The sand-hiller who
does not own a dog does not live in
South Carolina. They generally
have more than one mean; sneak
ng curs, mangy, flea bitten, and al
ways tired.
There has been a weak effort at
agriculture around the homes of .he
sand hillers. A few acres of the
sandy soil have been Bcratched with
a light plow, having a wooden mold
botrd and drawn by a single mule,
steer, or cow. A few vegetables,
some corn, and occasionally a little
patch of cotton, a very small patch
this, as the true sand-hiller is not
given to working the soil, are plant
ed. They raise enough to feed their
families, generally. If they do not,
they supplement the supply by
stealing or by selling wood. They
hunt, they fish, they sit in the gun.
When they are tired of resting they
cut a little wood, by preference the
resinous heart of the pitch pine,
called light wood. It takes a long
time for a sand hiller to cut the
eighth of a cord of this wood, possi
bly an entire week. When Saturday
morning comes the torpid animal
dresses himself in his best clothes,
bitches bis single animal to a cart,
which is loaded with the wood, and
slowly travels over miles of sandy
roads to market Arriving there he
6t lis his wimmI, receiving from fifty
cents to a dollar and a half for the
load. This money he promptly in
vests in whii-ky, which he carries
home. He does not linger in town,
preferring the solitude of the sand
hills, where, surrounded by bis
squalid family, he can quietly get
drunk and thoroughly enjoy sand
hill society. .
This part of South Carolina is a
country of one horse wagons. It is
rare to see two horses harnessed and
hitched to a farm wagon as they are
in the western agricultural states.
One mule or horse hitched to a wag
on or a cart is the prevailing rig.
The sand hiller? have soberly bur
lesqued this conveyance. He. find-

the city in the direction of the sand
hills. To this cart a email bull, cow,
or steer is bitched. Three quarters
of the sand-hillers have but a single
animal, a solier, sat raced animal
that does not chew the cud of con
tent ; indeed, I have yet to see them
chewing any cud, either of content
or discontent The harness used is
home made, consisting of bits of

and having
the main street, the gray mule met
out her head and brayed harshly,
I the little red bull bellowed rumb-
dismounted, and stalked off, leaving
his team in the street.
One thing that impresses me
deeply here is theeiience of the men,
both black and white. I ineuo the
men from the country. A day in a
western town when wheat or corn is
marketed is a noisy day. Men
laugh ; they call loudly to each oth
er ; they joke ; the banks are crowd
ed ; the saloons filled to overflow
ing; the elevators are filled with
gotnl uatured men. and there is the
jloud hum of human voices every
where ; the hor.-es are driven rapid
ly ; the strong, heavy wagons rum
ble loudly. Here all is silent, all is
slow. The people are sedate. Tnere
seems to be no humor among them.
Gravely they Bell their cotton and
produce. The sales over, the streets
rapidly become deserted. The teams
that come from a distance so great
as to forbid returning that day are
driven to corrals. Most of the team
sters bring fodder for their animals,
and blankets and food for them
selves. These farmers are much
more economical than northern
men. The teams are fed and water
ed, fires are built in the corral, and
the teamsters, many of whom are
small farmers, gather around the
blaze and talk in low tones while
they eat I heard no songs, no gay
laughter, around these fires. The
talk is earnest and generally about
crops, but frequently they talk on
politics. I have yet to hear any
talk among the comparatively uned
ucated white men about the negro
question. That it is an active and
probably dangerous question they
do not seem to believe. At any rate,
the common people of South Caro
lina do not discuss it.
Anecdote of Webster.
Lawyers sometimes resort to ques
tionable methods in order to destroy
the effect which the testimony of a
truthful and intelligent witness has
upon a jury. Mr. Webster once tried,
in an ungallant way, to break down
a woman's evidence, and he met
more than his match, It was in the
somewhat famous case of Mrs. Bog
den's will, which was tried in the
Supreme Court Mr. JWebster ap
peared as counselor for the appel
lant Mrs. Greenough, wife ot Rev. Wil
liam Greenough, late of West New
ton, a tali, straight, queenly looking
woman, with a keen black eye, a
woman of great Belf-ivossession and
decsion of character, was called to
the stand, a witness on the oppositi
side from Mr. Webster.
Webster, at a glance, had the sa
gacity to foreeee that her testimony,
if it contained anj thing of imMr
tance, would have great weight with
:he court and jurv. He, therefore.
resolved, if possible, to break her
down. And when she answered to
the first question put to her, "I be
lieve," Webster roared out: "We
don't want to hear what you believe,
we want to hear what you know?"
Mrs. Greenough replied, "That is
just what I was about to say. sir,"
and went on with her testimony.
Notwithstanding his repeated ef
forts to disconcert her, she pursued
the even tenor of her way, until
Webster, becoming fearful of the re
sult, arose apparently in great agita
tion, and drawing out his large snuff
box, thrusting his thumb anil finger
to the very bottom, and carrying the
deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it
up with gusto. Then extracting
from his pocket a very large hand
kerchief, which flowed to bis feet os
he brought it to the front, he blew
his nose with a report that rang
distant and loud through the crowd
ed hall.
Webster "Mrs. Greenough, was
Mrs. Bogden a neat woman ?"
"I cannot give you full informa
tion as to that, sir. She had one
very dirty trick."
"What was that, ma'am ?"
"She took snuff."
The roar in the court house was
such that the Defender of the Con
stitution sat down, and neither rose
or spoke again until after Mrs. Green
ough vacated her chair for another
witness, having ample time to reflect
upon the inglorious history of the
man who had a stone thrown at his
head by a woman.

Important Facts About Hair.
Whether the hair should be cut I
never could quite satisfy myself. Ai
a physiological practice. I 'seriously
doubt the propriety. Every cutting
is a wounding, and there is some
ort of bleeding in conseauence. and
(waste of vital tore I think it vrili
be found that lon-livttl person
must frequently wear the I air long.
j l he cutting of the hair stimulates
o a new growth, to supply the waste.
Thus theenergy required to maintain
the vigor of the body is drawn of! t
make good the wanton destruction.
It is said, I know, that after the hair
has grown to a certain length it loss
es its vitality at the extremity, ai;d
splits or "brooms up." Whether this
would be the case if the hair should
never be cut I would like to Injw.
When. it is cut a fluid exudes, and
forms a scab or cicatrix at each
wounded extremity, indicating that
there has been injury.
Y omen and priests have generally
worn long hair. I never could im
agine whv this distinction was made,
The ancient priest was very often
unsexed or devoted to a vow of celi
bacy, but I cannot surmise whether
that had anything to do with it.
Kings wore their hair long, iu imita
tion of Samson, and the gokleu tun-
God Mithias. I suspect from this
that the first men shorn were slaves
and laborers : that freemen wore
their hair unmutilated, as the crow n
of a perfect manhood, and ni:tiilii.es.
If this be correct, the new era of
freedom, when it evr shall !.iwn,
will be characterize tl by men Un

was in health, and the hotiv in rof
er vigor, 1 hiii confident that this
would not be. I am apprehensive
that our dietetic habits occtsinn the
bleaching of the hair ; the stiff, ar
senic prepared hat is responsible tor
much of the baldness. Our h:tts are
unhealthy, from the tricks of the
hatters. I suppose there are other
causes, however. Heredity has its
influence. Certain diseases wither
the hair at its roots; others lower the
vitality of the skin, and eo depilate
the body.
I acknowledge that the shingled
head disgusts me. It can not be
wholesome. The most sensitive part
of the head is at the back where the
neck joins. That place exposed to
unusual cold or heat is liable to re
ceive an injury that will te perma
nent, if not fatal, in a short period.
The whole head wants protection ;
and the hair affords this as no other
protection can. Mtn have beards
Iki ause thev neetl them, and it is
wicked to cut them oil'. No growth
or part of the body is superfluous,
and we ought, as candidates for
healthy and long life to preserve our
selves from violence or mutilation.
Integrity is the true manlv standard.
The Way the Wentern Siatea Grow.
bKelIy," said President Lincoln to
me one day, "I think the western
men will constantly exercise a great
er influence in the houses of con
gress." "Why so?" said I.
"Well," said he, "do you know the
history of ous beautiful corn, with
ears fourteen inches long, and grain
of a size that our grandmothers had
never seen ?"
No I dont't," said I.
"Well, it came here in little nul
bins about as long as your finger,
and with t'ny seed, and they wtre
planted and grew, and the farimr,
during the winter, picked out the
beiot ears, and he and his good wife
picked off again the finer grains,
and these were planted, and thun
from year to year the plant grew ;
but it needed transplanting, and as
settlements went west tbe best ears
and best grains were carried west.and
the title of immigration moved
through New York and Pennsylvania
into Ohio, and thence still farther
wst; still the best ears wire taken,
xiid the lst grains picktd fur Betd,
and thus by the time it fiot us t't
west as what is calltd the atHtrn
states, the ears bad come to be a foot
long, and the grains iifurly as long
as vour thumb."
This I know was somewhat exag
gerated. "Now," said he, "that is a good
illustration of the way states grow."
The Kind of a Cigar lie TV,,.
A very high toned looking young
man in" exquisite moustache, loud
plaid clothes, red neck tie, low crown
ed hat, straw colored kids anil knit
ting needle cane, walking into a to
bacco shop on State street, throwing
down a half dollar on the counter,
said:
"Mr. Shopkeeper, can you sell a
gentleman a decent cigar?'
"Ye?, sir," said the c;gar man,
meekly.
' Well, then, fly around livel v and
do it Don't vou Bee that half dol
lar?" "Yes, sir. What kind of a cigar
do you want, sir?"
What kind?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why, look at me, sir, a moment,
and see for yourself what kind f a
cigar would" suit Die," and he drew
himself up grandly and gazed down
on the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked and then
took in the half dollar, got out a ci
gar, handed it to the man with forty
nine cents change, and said, "I owe
you half a cent, sir, but I can't make
the change unless you take another
cigar."
The nice man looked at the shop
keeper and then at the cigar, and
then at himself, and without a sin
gle word walked out of the shop.
