TWO MISTAKES IN LIFE.
BY A. MILO BENNETT.
Plague upon this quiet life ; here I hare
been for three months, and have hard
ly seen s blessed soul ; there is sbssolute
ly nothing to do, and it is harder to do
nothing, than anything el He I know of. I
bad such lovely times in New York,
Frances. I shall die if yon don't find
some excitement for. me. Why don't you
do something rash fall in love, and
well, that would be rash enough wouldn't
itr
" Indeed it would for me, but for you
well, there, I shan't say w hat I intend
ed, but you needn't have a spasm over
it," as xhe saw the change of color in the
face of Miss Bertha PepparJ, the yonng
lady who had seemed to find the last
few months so dull, and then added,
" Bat why do yoa say you have seen no
one ? It seems to me that you have been
overrun with company. I don't believe
there is s single young man, or married
one (either, for that matter, for twenty
miles around, who has failed to pay you
a pretty compliment of some kind. Why,
I wonder that your pretty head is not
turned by so much homage as you have
received ; but, law ! you take it as a mat
ter of course, treat them all alike, and act
aa www qrwon. - I f 1 mld. I w"iM r
ashamed of you, for their sakes."
" Ok, bat that's too common. I am
desperate. I want some excitement in
which I could get a chance to break my
neck a fox hunt, a big cyclone, a war,
or or jomething to break this awful
monotony."
Excitement ? Yon should go np and
examine Mars. There's nothing good
enough for you here. Dress up as a man
and go and fight tbe Indians. I do hate
t scold, but I just think you need it ; you
are simply incorrigible ; pick out some
good history, and store your mind ; pre
pare yourself for usefulness here and in
the life to come, as your Uncle Jasen
would say. You were formerly so con
tented, but since your return from that
horrid old boarding school you have been
dissatisfied with everything : I actually
believe you are brooding over some gen
tleman np there with whom you left
your heart."
The speaker was a beautiful young oc
toroon, in the position of waiting-maid
to Miss Bertha Peppard, who was the
only daughter of Henrica Peppard, one
of the wealthiest planters in Louisiana.
He was a descendant of one of tbe oldest
families, the head of which had. emigra
ted from France a century or two ago on
account of political trouble, and he was
most proud of his blue blood, as he chose
to call iL Bertha inherited this pnde
and exhibited it in her demeanor, and
yet tempered it all with a certain kindli
ness which made her a favorite with all
who knew her. .
It follows that she was a beautiful girl,
for the climate was responsible for ner
clear complexion, and her daily exer
cise, riding and boating, for the symme
try and roundness of her figure. There
was not a single angle in her profile, and
all "this without a tendency to obesity.
Added to her other charms were the
prettiest eyes, shaded with long, beauti
ful eye-lashes that it has been my good
fortune to see, even among Southern girls
noted for such channs. . Her grace of
movement and her proud, careless de
meanor lent an additional charm which
was simply irresistible. There was not a
young man in the county who would not
have felt himself growing larger could
he but win a smile rom her ; and of
this fact she was perfectly aware, for who
is so conscious df her power as a beauti
ful woman ?
Half of them had been at her feet since
her return from New York, where she
had been attending a celebrated school
for young ladies, but she seemed indiffer
ent to them all ; and Dame Enmor was
beginning to call her heartless, although
she conld hardly go go far as to call her a
coquette, as her actions gave no founda
tion for such asobriqueL
One young man. Harold Bouillon, a rich
young planter, bad been showing her
marked attention.
He was a typical Siuthern gentleman ;
chivalrous and open-hearted, impetuous
and headstrong and generous to a faulL
Hs placed women on an equal with the
gods, and therefore treated them with
f the consideration' and deference so nat
ural to the true Southern gentleman.
Bertha rather liked him before going
Xortb, and they had been much in each
other's society, thongh at that time the
idea of marriage had sot entered her
mind.
Sincrf her return be had renewed his
attentions, and she could so longer mis-
take lib meaning although they were of
such a delicate nature, and so Teued be
hind the screen of reserve that no lady
would bars felt justified ii refusing them
even bad she penetrated their purport.
Bertha, trampled upon her conscience
aibl daily excursions down the bayou, or
through the loxuriant foliage peculiar to
the climate, on horseback, seemed, to the
ESTAJBLilSiEED 1827.
AVEDNESDAT,
curious, more than likely to result in
something other than mere friendship.
This idea was shared by Frances, and
on this occasion her speech had been in
tended to bring out the true state of af
fairs. Frances, although in the position of
waiting-maid to Bertha was, as are many
of the beautiful young octoroons of the
South in a like capacity, on most inti
mate terms with her mistress, and shared
most of her confidences. She had been
educated by Mr. Peppard, and under the
same governness who served Bertha, and
was fitted by long association, on such
friendly terms, to be no mean compan
ion for her mistress, whom she idoi
lzed. . ?
It may not have occurred to Bertha,
but her style of beauty certainly acted as
an elegant foil to enhance the beauty of
that young lady by reason of the sharp
contrast between them, for beauty is
more perfect when in surroundings in
keeping with iL
Be this as it may, the peculiar, lan
guishing eyes, surrounded by the long,
dark eyelashes peculiar to tbe Creole and
inhabitants of Louisiana, and her tall and
symmetrically proportioned form attract
ed nearly as much attention as did her
mistress, and one could hardly have
guessed from her color that she was an
octoroon.
She was perfectly devoted to Bertha,
and, strange as it may seem to many
Northern people, tbe attachment was
heartily reciprocated, for had they not
been together all their lives T Had not
Frances, on more than one occasion prov
ed her love by little self-sacrifices, and
would she not die for her if there were
occasion for it ?
" Do you love Harold, Bertha, or was I
right about the boarding-school ro
mance?" " Sit down, Frances, here, beside me.
I want you to tell me what I shall do.
There was more truth in the romance as
you call it than you thought I am in a
scrape, (that's a New York word), and
such a scrape ! I am going to tell you of
something that even Cupid musn't hear,
and I am half afraid the trees and flow
ers will whisper my secret.
" You know Harold and I are old
friends, and I thought I loved him dear
ly before I went North. He was the only
person I cared about, and we were al
ways together, but I didn't know -hat
love was. I was romantic, and had- little
experience in the world, and I mistook
my own heart. I was mistaken then
and oh, Heaven ' since then I've made j
a greater mistake. I have ruined my
life, and perhaps the lives of others.
" You have heard me speak of the Mu
fords, of New York t WeU, Mrs. Muford
took an especial liking to me, for some
reason or other, and gave a magnificent
psrty in my honor, so that I might meet
SAW Arikn Xm 1, - i.L!V
whom she took particular interest I
think she was determined that we should
be married. To make a long story short
well he forced himself upon me in
such a way, and was B3 attentive and so
kind that I fell head over heels in love
with him before I was aware of it and
and-"
" You are engaged ? Poor Harold ! and
your papa and mamma ? what will they
say ? '
" Yes, I promised to be his wife, and
oh, Frances ! if you knew how I have
suffered this last month 1"
" Suffered? Why, does he not love
you ? Do you doubt him ?"
" Oh, Frances, you don't you cannot
understand. I am a fickle witch and I
hate myself ; I despise myself:" and she
drew herself up and clinched her hands
with the intensity of her feeling, " Yes,
I I love him. It must be that I love
him, for I can love no other. I'm bound
to him by promise that cannot be bro
ken ; he loves me; would to God that
he didn't He loves me more than life
itself, he tells me, ami I know not what
he would do to himself or to me should I
be f.tlse to him.
" Frances, I learned sad truths to-day.
Harold loves me madly, poor fellow, and
he has asked me to marry him. He
pressed his claims in such a p-tssionate
manner, when I told him it could not be
that I actually became afraid that he'd
do something rash, and I had no right to
listen to him ; I should not have gone
out with him. I have proven myself
filse to Arthur and to Harold, and if I
tell all I will be despised as much as I
despise myself; and yet I -could not re
sist I was mistaken once ; I am not
mistaken now ; Hove Harold Bouillon in
spite of myself in spite of Arthur ; in
spite of my promise. I love him t . I
did not know it was possible to love, lut
I must keep my promise. I must and
will keep my promise, or I I shall go
mad."
-At the thought of her terrible position
she raised her voice and flung the speech
out with a vehemence which left some
doubt in the mind of Frances as to
whether she were not in reality mad.
And more, Frances, he has asked my
papa's consent and mamma and he are
dreadfully vexed at my obstinacy and
pride, as thy call it Oh, why did I
promise? Why did I promise ?'?
" Yes, why, if you did not love him?
I cannot understand you, but I am sorry
for you, dear," and she lightly kissed her
hand and tried to comfort her.
" I deceived myself and I deceived
him. Oh, I am not worthy of him ; he is
the soul of honor, and I "
And the tears sprang to her eyes.
"Arthur Pembroke is a splendid fel
low. He is tall and beautiful. He has
lovely black eyes which fairly snap with
ambition, and be is the sort of a man to
catch a young girl's fancy ; but, better
than all, he is a man, an honorable man,
one of tbe noblest that ever lived. He
could saj no ill of any one ; he is gener
ous and unselfish ; he is brave, patriotic
and true, and I I love him dearUbut
but-"
" Youll never marry him if I can pre
vent If he puts in an appearance in
these parts I'll challenge him and kill
him, or die la the attempt, '
The speaker was none other than Har
old Bouillon, and the rage expressed la
the manner "be hissed out his words
frightened the girls, even had his sudden

The pleading tone and the look of pain
on his face appealed to her more earn
estly than all of the words he could have
summoned to his aid. Before she could
speak, he said :
Forgive me ; I was angered ; I was cra

no right to speak, much less to speak as
I did. I I wish you joy but I had
rather yoa had killed me. I was acci
dentally passing and was riveted to the
ground by your last words. You have
driven a dagger into my heart ! Have
you no love for me ? No pity ? Oh, you
know not what you do," and he took her
hand and looked pitifully into her eyes.

"Harold, 'tis I who needs forgiveness.

Instantaneous Deaths in Battle.
The fact that a man is down and out of
the fight is about all that friend or foe
aa take account of for the time being.
It is reasonable to suppose, however, that
some deaths are instantaneous, the men
being literally killed in action. One
such case I had an opportunity to study
with unusual care at Fort Haskell in the
Fort Stedman battle in front of Peters
burg. The action there was defensive on
our part, the scene very small and the
fight prolonged ; hence many things were
observed that would escape notice on an
open field.
At one time, just in front of me, as I
looked toward tbe enemy, there was a
soldier of our garrison firing hl musket
from a gun-staging who raised his head
above the parapet He was the oldest
man I ever saw in battle, and for that
reason, doubtless, I observed him closely.
His hair was white and his form had
reached the stage of unsteadiness. He
fired very slowly, and after each shot he
would scan the enemy's lines as though
'.vatching the result of his last ball or
spying out a target for the next.
Finally, when I had my attention al
most wholly fixed on him, he half
turned to reload, and I saw his cap fly off
smartly without any visible help, and
the large and bony frame shrunk togeth
er and sank down into a heap. There
was no spasm, no agitation whatever. It
seemed to me that he simply sat down
slowly uhtil he rested on the legs bent
under the body, his head going down to
his knees or to the trail of tbe cannon.
A little stream of blood ran from his fore
head and made a pool on the plank, and
this blood reached the plank about the
time that bis frame settled down mo
tionless. From tbe time that his hat flew off un
til tbe blood appeared on the staging and
the motionless body caused me to say,
"He is dead," it could not have been
more than thirty seconds. The fatal ball
had penetrated the left temple or near it
This is the only case that I ever saw
where a man was killed "so quick he

Cattle That Will Sell.
A firm of cattle brokers that have been
in the business for twenty-six years in a
large city report one certain week in last
October to have been about the dullest
they have ever known. The cause of
the dullness was partly that there were
brought to the city in that week SS,000
head of beeves to be disposed of. But
the prime cause was that the cattle sent
in were not fit to se!l. They were not
fat enough. The dealers recommended
their customers near home to keep their
beeves a couple of months longer and
feed them heavilj , so that when the far
western cattle had come in and been
disposed of, tbe home beeves could be
brought in and their owners "get seme-
thing for them."
The kind of cattle that are drug in
the market, that pull the price of all
down, that are always with us and yet
that nobody wants, are described thus
"The hardest to sell, and the greatest
decline on, are steers of eleven hundred
to fiurteen hundred pounds average, half
td three-quarters fat what a good many
shippers call fat before shipping. There
has been just one load of prime cattle
on th? market this week out of SS,000
cattle, and they brought 5 cents."
Cattle raisers will learn from the above
what kind cf cattle not to ship.

He Obeyed Orders.
Decoration Day brings to mind no more
heroic soldier son of Pittsburgh than
General Alexander Hays, and it was only
tbe other day that I met in a far-away
corner of Arkansas one of his aides-decamp,
John S. Sullivan, who told me
many tales of which General Hays was
the hero. Mr. Sullivan, who married a
daughter of General Hays, by the way,
and is one of the most substantial citi
zens of Jefferson City, Mo., dwelt with
peculiar delight upon the fir it time he
met General Hays, on the morning of
July 3, 18C3, the final day of the terrible
three at Gettysburg.
"I was ordered on that mon ing by the
colonel of my regiment to take np a cer
tain position with a detail of men," said
Mr. Sullivan, "and I had written orders
to that effect, with the added proviso
that I was not to move at anyor e's com
mand, not even a general's.
"I was a First Lieutenant then and
had a clear idea of obeying orders at all
events. Well, I had not been there k ng
when a certain Major Hammond, of tbe
regular army, came up and wanted me
to move my men further to the right. I
declined to do it, and told him of my
orders. He got angry. So did I. He
said something abusive, and I told him
that if he did not dear oot I'd cut his
ears off. He went away in a towrir g
rage, I held my position all day, bat in
the evening I was summoned to General
Hays' headquarters. He wa 3 in com
mand of the briag ie. When I entered
the tent, General Hays, wt oni I had
never met before, said la an wer to my
salutation : 'This is a serious charge Ma
jor Hammond makes against you Lieu
tenant Sullivan. He says yosi threatened
to cut off his ears.'
" 'Let me read my writtei. orders first,
General," I replied,' and he giving me
permission, I read the orders, and ex
plained why I bad threatened to take
liberties with the major's ears. General
Hays didn't take long to decide, but as
soon as I bad finished said with great
emphasis :
" 'Lieutenant Sullivan, yoa did perfect
ly right, and if that major bothers yoa
aeain, cut his ears off ?
"I never saw him again till I received
an appointment on bis staff. After that
I was with him till he fell in the Wilder
ness." Pittsburgh Dispatch.

To Furnish the Sick Room.
. ...
The room should be light and, if possi
ble, sunny. Sunshine has a "royal
touch" for coring disease. The windows
should have two sets of shades, liirht and
dark. By drawing the latter the room
may be darkened more readily and neat
ly than by pinning up a black shawl,
and the sick one will get a more refresh
ing nap if the glare of the light is soften
ed. In addition to the windows, it is
well to have a transom, or, better still.
ventilators at the top and bottom of the
room. Keep the air freeh and swfet
An open grate tire is the best mode of
L heating, and even if furnace or steam
heat be used, a grate fire improves the
ventilation. -Even in summer a small
lamp may be kept burning in the grate
to advantage. If the room contains a
set bowl attention to the plumbing and
draining must be most carefui. Tbe
plug should always be kept in and the
holes at the top of the bowl should be
closed up as an extra precaution. Rather
than get one whiff of noxious gHS the
pipes should be cut and sealed.
If the walls are papered, be sure there
is no ar.ienie in the paper. Have a sam
ple examined by a chemist Take care,
also, that the figure is not annoying to
the invalid. A painted wall is much
cleaner and is more easily kept clean by
wiping with a damp cloth. The hard
wood or painted floor seems to be the
best. Have rugs enough about so that
no disturbance will be caused by foot
steps. The rugs should be frequently
shaken and the floor wiped with a damp
cloth.
In gathering up and laying the rugs
do not raise a dust, as it is very annoy
ing, and, ith a consumptive, very likely
to cause a fit of coughing. All hangings
should be made of "wash" fabrics. Wool
en hangings serve only to collect dust,
retain odors and interfere with free cir
culation of air. If a portiere seems ad
visable, it must needs he of heavy ma
terial, bnt keep it well shaken.
The bed should be long enor.gh. Too
short a bed is no uncommon occurrence,
aud produces much discomfort. A some
what narrow bed is best. It should be
wide enough to turn or roll over in, yet
so narrow as to allow tree access to trie
invalid from either side. An open bed
stead is desirable that is. one in which
the mattress is thoroughly exposed to
the air. The metallic, brass or iron bed
steads are excellent in this respect Let
the mattress be not too soft and free from
lumps. Have it made over if necessary
for comfort. By the bedside, within
ea.sy reach of the sick one, should be a
little table or stand. Ou account of
liability to accident from overturning
things, this is best covered with a wash
able cover. Keep this fresh and clean.
Avoid letting this stand get littered up,
especially with soiled medicine glasses
and hotflo Wash th tnesiiciiie zlassoo
as soon as ttiev are usexl and ki?ep tbcm
well polished.
The invalid should have some means
of calling her nurse or friend. The best
arrangement is an electric bell with the
push-button at the head of the bed. This
will do away with much tinkling of
highly chased silver bells more elegant
than useful. To ring a toy bell for fifteen
minutes is not conducive to calmness of
spirit.
Heavy upholstered chairs are out of
place in the sick room, ith the excep
tion of one for the invalid. Rattan
chairs are light, clean and durable, and
do not retain orders. Nothing need be
said in regard to the other furniture
bureau, wardrobe, commode, etc., exi-ept
keep it clean. A screen is to the sick
room what a pin is to a woinan ever
useful. It should be light, Ftron, not
top-heavy, and six feet hifc'h. Its uses
are many, and it is also artistic. It
shields from draughts, from siizht, from
interruption ; it may have a beauty in
itself ; it may hide a skeleton. A very
handsome screen may be had at slight
expense, and will soon pay for stself in
comfort.
Make the room bright and attractive ;
keep it clean and homelike, and yon will
be doing much for the patient Hang a
quiet, restful picture upon the wall where
the eyes fall most frequently, and if the
illness is of long duration, change the
pictures in the room occasionally. A
growing plant also affords great pleasure
to an invalid. If flowers are introduced,
let them be perfectly fresh and of not too
heavy odor.
Leave the Bees Undisturbed.
The necessity for leaving bees undis
turbed as far as possible during the sea
son in which they cannot gather honey
or pollen is not understood by oeginners
as well as it ought to be. Quinby ad
vised many years ao what mo?t modern
beekeepers now practice. Ila said :
"If it were not that an occasional ex
amination is needed to see that rats or
mice have not effected an entrance or to
ascertain if the rooru is not unduly damp
I would advise locking tbe door of the
wintering apartment and not opening it
till spring ; but I advise ruakinirthef? ex
aminations an I all needed changes as
quietly and as seldom a3 possible. All
ventilators should be so arranged as to
be regulated f;om the outside, and means
for ascertaining the temperature without
entering the room for the purpose should
be provided."
An Icicle l.OOO Feet Long.
On Monday last a loud noise and slight
shaking of the earth caueed no little
wonderment among residents near the
hills. Investigation proved the cause to
be an ice slide. A small and innocent
spring issues from the side of one of the
mountains, its waters spreadingand flow
ing over a steep incline of rck. During
the past winter months ice formed against
thi3 wall of stone, increasing ia size un
til one vast icicle, fully 20 fjet in thick
cess and 1,000 feei in length, projected
into the valley below. From the warmth
of the sun and its own w eight it releflstd
its hold and thundered down the moun
tain side earry ing everything with it even
trees three feet in diameter. Those who
have visited the place say that the foot of
the cliff presents a mass of broken ice,
tree, limbs, and earth fifty feet in height
