MARY'S BREAD.

'•1 will never marry any woman srho cannot make a loaf of bread." 0* That was what Bachelor Beverly •aid in the arrogance of his masculine koark He liked women to be women, not social butterflies, and ail the girls ofWIlfcury were on the qui vive.fg| ••Did he really say that?"

rfsaid

Genevieve Doty, arching the perfect curve of herscarlet upper lip. "Goodnew* me! what a fool the man must be! Does he expect to make a mere kitchen drudge of his wife?"

But, all the same, all the girls of LUMbury descended into their kitchens tucked up their curls and their dress sleeves, and set diligently to work about that time at the ray serious soionce of bread-making.

Except Genevieve Doty. Sho only r«ng the bell and sent for Mary Bloom, the poor cousin, who was graciously allowed a home on the premises in consideration of her doing all the housework for her board. "Polly." said she, adjusting one of her long blonde curls before the mirror, "I'm going to have company to tea to-night",: gf§

Mary slgho a litfleP4 She could not help it. Genevieve had had a croquet company the night before, and a charade gathering the evening before that and the refreshments had been exceedingly choice and delicate, and they were all made by Mary herself, and Mary alone, for Mr. Doty hold the family purse-strings exceedingly tight Mrs. Doty was afflicted whenever work was in question with a rush of blood to the head, and the fair Genevieve held horaelf far above any such drudgery as the beating of syllabubs or mixing of cake. "And," Miss Doty added, "I want Ireah bread, made after your very best recipe. And waffles," added Genevieve, "and cup custards, and Charlotte Russe, and damson preserves," °-Tea and coffee, of course and stay—you may as well make nice peach akort-c^ke \yhilq ^you. are about It." *,

«, And then Genevieve drew the curtains io the oxact angle of comfortable

hadow. and nestled herself down on lounge with a novel and a box of chocolate creams to enjoy herself, while Mary Bloom descended to the hot kitchen to concoct the dainties.

Yes, it was hard—very hard. Was not bhe a lady Dy birth and education as much as the pael-haired beauty upstairs? Why wiw it fate had condemned her to bo the patient toiler, in deep dense shadow, while Genevieve walked on roses and dwelt in an atmosphere of luxuryP

Not until evening did she find time to slip on her green gingham sun-bon-aet and creep down into the woods— and even then her favorite seat by the trout pool was occupied. Mr. JJoverly sat there with reel and line. "Is that you. Miss Bloom?" said he —for he lmd met Mary frequently in the

I am very glad 1 shall* meet you, Miss iBloom." "But you won't meet me, Mr. overly," said Mary, with a little sigh, "1. am never asked to comet to my cousin's parties, I afn the one jjwht ii uaetul only behind the •oene#.M "The Cinderella, eh?" said Mr.

Beverly," gating intently Into the dark-brown deep# of the pool Mary laughed. *'There isn't much similarity between my oaso and Cinderella's," said ehok "But I must go back They will have brought the cream from the „i jHllage, and I must beat it for the

Charlotte Rusaa." And then sfce vanishedaway through the green foliage like a dryad of the woods. "That's very pretty girl,* said lir. Beverly. "A very pretty girl, indeed!"

Genevieve Doty's tea party was %ult* a brilliant little assemblage that evening. Genevieve herself had taken the trouble to arrange the carnations, tea-rose* aod lovely bluefrtnged asters and the table glittered with engraved silver, cut-glass, and rare ehAaa. Colored lights hung from the oeiliog, and the scene w«b almost like a leaf out of fairyland. "Oh, what delicious bread!* sal* Isabel Copeland—who, by ths had beea tmined in her role by fair hostess for somebody must say thee* sweet, eoa*eai«at littJe ootfci. inga and Isabel had such a grace, fully imeoaseloua way with her. .••Dear Gennte. Is this your hrwslf* *Ot course." smiled the hast***

«»Mr. Beverly, I really forget whether *ou take cream and sugar or not." •Cream, if you please no sugar,1* said the bachelor, with rather a bewildered expression ot countenance. "But did you really make it yourself?" asked Isabel persistently sweet "I made it myself this very afternoon," said Miss Doty. "Bread-making is one" of dear Connie's especial accomplishments, said Mrs. Doty.

The bachelor drank hie tea without knowing whether it was Young Hyson, Gunpowder, or Oolong and when, the meal was over he went out into the vdlanda. where the little black girl, who had been fanning them with pea cock's feathers during the banquet was amusing herself by eating th broken hits of cake. "Hello?1 said the bachelor, bringing his hand down on Betsy's shoulder. "I didn't done stole 'em massa," whimpered Betsy, curling herself up like a human caterpillar. "Dey was done gib me-—eberv bressed cake.' "Look here," said the bachelor. "There's a misunderstanding somevWhere." "Sah?" said Betsy. "Who did make that bread?" said Mr. Beverly. "The bread we had for tea—4ight as a feather, whiter than lilies, swfeet as honey." "Dat yar?" Said Betsy, "Why, Miss Mary Bloom, of course. She allers makes de bread in dis house." "You are sure it wasn't Miss Doty?1*

Bet-y broke into a shrill chuckle. ••GollyI" she squeaked "Miss Genoie!—she nebber done come into dis kisshen! Miss Gennie!—she couldn't make broad any more dan a fox qould make Johnny-cake!—he! he! he' 1 he bachelor whistled long and low. "Ah!" said he. "I think I begin to understand."

Mary Bioora was sitting in the shadow of the" honeysuckle vines, weary and worn out. Oflf in the distance the merry notes of the piano sounded, the light steps of the dancers keeping time, while the shadows of the merry makers crossed and recrossed the casement jfctaw lonely and dewy and misty it was out herel How happy they must be in that cool, lighted drawing-room! "Mary!V uttered a low* "Mr. Beverly!"

She sprang to her feet with a little shriek.

"Did I frighten you?" he asked' r^ morsefully. "No," she answered, trying to laugh. ••It—it was so sudden. I didn't think of any one being out here. How did you find me?" "Betsy told me you had come out, here," said the bachelor. 'Mary, that bread was delicious." "j "Was it?" with dimples and smiles only half visible in the tremulous starlight "I've always said," meditatively went on Mr. Beverly, "that 1 never would marry a woman who could not make good bread. 1 wonder if the dear'littie Wlft&W Ivlio can make good bread would marry me?"

Mary said nothing. She only hung down her head. But Mr. Beverly, as he took her hand in his, could feel it tremble like a leaf. |Jk 'It is for you tomanswer, Mary," laid he. "I have loved you these many weeks."

I thought—I fancied it was Genevieve." faltered Mary, "that you liked." 'Did you ever know a man to pluck a gaudy tulip when he oould select a rosebud?" said Mr. Beverly. "No, no, little Mary. 1 want you. May I have my heart's desire?"

Mary did not say "yes," but she certainly didn't Say no. And there can be no sort of fcmbt but that matters made themselves understood very well. Because when she returned to the houce she wore a sparkling diamond ring on the forefinger of her left hand.

And we have every reason to suppose that Mr. Beverly had good bread baked in his household all toe rest of his life.

Does It Pay?

In one of thp large towns of a Western State/two young ladies are suffering -from lead-poisoning as the result of using toilet powder containing white lead. One of them is great* ly emaciated, and suffers much from spasms. If these unfortunate young women live, which is doubtful, they Are, perhaps, rendered helpless for life,

Cases similar to the above are not Infrequent from the use of poisonous cosmetic*. A freah, healthful complexion it to be desired, but ixa artificial counterpart is very undesirable and does not deceive any observer. The use of powder* and rouge is not only offensive to the eye, but leaves the skill sallow, dry and rough, even if it produces no worse results.

Hot long ago we heard of a young woman who began using drugs upon her eyes, to increase their brilliancy. Her silly vanity has rendered her bliod for ilfe!

Such sufferers from their own foolishness are not always young ladiea. A ganUeman of sixty years died last week as a result of lead-poisoning. For fifteen years he had been in the habit of dyeing Ids hair and beard and to this prstfUoe th« physicians attributed hit death. £tls but one of four cases within the writer's knowledge, where paralysis and death have been ascribed to poisonous hair dya*

SAREPTA

Sarepta had been worrying Israel all day about the young man from the city who was coming down that day. She vowed she was already in love with him. What was her chagrin to be discovered up in the hay by this New York exquisite, and he was grinning at her in the most hateful manner. "Miss Wilcox, I presume?" he said, in strong.' calm accents. "Can I have the pleasure of——" "No, you can't!" cried Sarepta, feeling her cheeks kindle into a blaze, und sprang lightly up to the loft-—a jump she never would have dared to take in cold blood. She bqwled across the hay, rushed down the ladder and jerked it away, letting it fall heavily to the floor. "Now," said she, 'you may stay there until you are sorry for having laughed at me. You are not a gentleman, and you don't deserve to be treated as such."

Away went Sarepta, her young biood at throbbing, fever heat and the 'mild-eyed oxen, finding themselves without a guide or driver, walked deliberately through the barn and into the cowyard. And Hiram, the S5owboy,f supposing that the hay was to be unloaded in the lower barn, a lew rods away, quickly shut* the big doors, and "geehawad" the oxen down into the lane so that Mr. Caleb Carew was left in. a very pretty predicament, especial» when ono considered that the Luvluft was a great deal too high to jump from, and that there was no feasible.way"Of climbing down. "Rather a severe punishment for laughing," said he to himself, as he pulled angrily at his mustache* "And now I should litre to know what is to become oi me. I don't propose to cry for help like an enchanted prince shut up in a watch tower, and yet* for tbe life of me, I don't know what to da"

In the meantime little Sarepta had hurried frantically tbtvard tjje house, as near a fit of hysterics as?she had yet come in the course of Uerlhcalthy, wholesome life. And. a* "luck would have xt, she rau almost into thi arms of Israel Ives, who was just jioming out of the garden gate. "ir "Sarepta! Why, Sarepta, Wnat is the matter? Your are crying!" he exclaimed. v' "No. am not," exclaimed Sarepta, "At least, if 1 am—Oh! Israel, what shall I do?" "My little one, stand still," said "Israel, with an indescribable quiver in his 4 deep voice. "Dofc't flutter about so, like a wounded bird, Now tell me what ails you." "I hate that college graduate!" cried Sarepta, with a stamp of her foot "And how I wish 1 had never ridden on the top of that load of hay! And oh! Israel (lifting her troubled, brimming eyes to his face), why isn't everybody as good to me as you •art?" "I suppose." said Israel, quite frankly and simple, "it is because everybody does not love you as well as I do."

She looked up at him withasudden awakening of the slumbering forces of her heart" 'Israel!" she cried, "do you love me? Do you really love me, Israi

There was great preparation for) a festive 'high tea" in the W ilcox farmhouse that evening. Mrs. Wilcox, flushed with her many exertions, came to the door for a breath of fresh air. a4 ••It's all ,ready now, sheJ said. "But, good gracious me. where is Air. Carew? I haven't seen him since dinner. Israel! Israel! Why. there is Israel coming up the evergreen path with Sarepta! Why, children, where have you been?"

Tho young giant smiled at her expression. 'That is tho right word. Mrs. Wile x. he said,, tenderly, leading Sarepta forward. "We aro both your children now, dear mother. Sarepta—bless her dear little heart-— has promised to be my wife." "Mother, 1 love him," said Sarepta looking with innocent eyes up into Mrs. Wilcox' face. "A^d you couldn't have loved a better man," s&ty .the good woman, with a soft mist coming into her eyes. «^But——" ••I've found him, mother!" shouted a hearty vpice from the barn door beyond. "Our little Mhs Mlsuhlef had pulled the ladder away from th« loft nnd Mr. Carew was fchut Up there. Ha! ha! ha! But it's all right now. Here he is." ,/vfe

Mr. Carew advanced, smiling and gracefully. If he had not forgiven Sarepta's mischievous prank he had, at ail events made up his mind to treat it as a joke. "I have to beg Miss Wilcox's pardon* for laughing when I was not expected to laugh." said Carew, lightly.

But Sarepta who stood before him now was not the Sarepta of two hours ago. All at once, as it were, the bud had blossomed into a rose the child had become a woman: Sarepta stood them before him, shy and steady as a young queen. "Youare pardoned," she said, with a natural dignity. "And I am ashamed of having acted so much

Hm 8enaio*»Eect from Georgia an Os» ator of 6mt Power—Bis Cfcreer, Senator Gordon Is doubtless the most

opular public man In the South, and was one of the first of the old Confederate leaders to turn hfs back definitely upon the past and to look forward to the development of the resources of his section of the country. He Is an orator of a good deal of power,' *nnd his appeal to the patriotic men of all parties and sections to unite to put an end to the strife between the North and the South, maintained as ?t was for their own purposes by selfish politicians, was very influential. His. influence has been always In the Interest of peace. Ten years ago, when he was in the Senate, it was probably tree of him that at that time he had done more than any one else to convince the North that the South accepted the consequences of the war in good faith. He has also taken part personally the

Soutbern{individual movement and has been an important figure in the inauguration and maintenance of new enterprises.

Senator Gordonls a native of Georsla, having been born In Upson County fiftynine years aeo, on the •Hh of February. He Is a graduate of the University of Georgia. He was admitted to the bar, and practised law until the war broke out when he became a captain in the

on federate army. His' achievements tbe ba^le field, his many wounds, and the devotion of his wife to him, make a story which has been often told. It is one of the romances of the war of the rebellion. His exploits at Petersburg: placed him in the first rank of living soldiers. His division fired the last gun before General Lee's surrender.

In 1868 he made his first appearance

in politics. He ran for Governor of the State, but was defeated by hfs Republican opponent.

Ho wa& first elected to tbe Senate in 187.V He served out his term, and from 1877 to its close was friendly to the administration of President Hayes, and yet retained the confidence and respect of his own party

Senator Gordon was elected for a second term in 1879, but in 1380 he resigned his seat in the tSenate in order to engage in some railroad enterprises. Tempting business offers were made to him, and he quitted politics for a time la order to repair his shattered fortunes. His recent election to the Senate was at one time doubtlul on account of the opposition of tbe Farmers' Alliance, ailflch is very powerful- In Georgia, v»hich he overcame.

One. resembles a guitar, 46 inches long, with a sounding-board 9 inches by 4, Another resembles a flageolet, and has somethina of the hautboy sound, or between that and the bagpipe. Singing Is frequently accompanied by men beating tamborines before a char-coal fire In a brazier, over which from time to time they hold their instruments to tighten the parchment the dancing boys allow their hair to grow long, like that of girls, and dress in long flowing robes and wide trousers. On occasions of dancing they sit upon a piece of felt or carpet dressed in their tali sheepskin hats, which give a somewhat ferocious appearance.

The colt however, objected to the proceedings. He plunged about so that he upset the table, scattered all the preparations tor tbe feast and gave a severe kick in the face to one of the chief guests.
