THE HAND OF FATE.
On a col J, blustering night in March a
young girl, apparently not inoro than 10
vcars of age, fdowly wended her way
fi! i :i country road, bituatc-d about live
link's from the litllo village of Oakdale.
Her appeal ance betokened extreme iov
crty. Sho was dressed in an ill Citing
ra:it of rusty black, and her shabby black
bonnet was drawn tightly over a thiu,
pallid face, which was lighted up by a
pair of piercing black eyes that seemed
to nonet rato the darkness with almost
puixjrnatural brilliancy. Ilcr long black
Jir.ir had become unfastened by the fierce
ness of tho etorin and hung in frozen
ht rands almost to her waist. Everything
ri-found her seemed to bo touched with
the winter's frost, and the snow lay piled
in hugo masses as far as the eyo could
leach. As tlio pursued her journey her
heart sank within her, her head reeled
ps i! in a drunken stupor, her weary
limbs Ijcjan to fail, and at last nature
refused to Jo its work, and she suc
cumbed to the pitiless cold and sank in
n exhausted and unconscious condition
to the ground.
- Down the road with rapid strides came
farmer Ilawkiiu and his dog Nero, and
as ho hurried along he stumbled over
the prostrate form. In au instant he
wao on his feet trying to arouse the ino-tioi:h-2
uhject lieforo him, while the dog
barked vociferously as if imploring aid.
ill a few moments a lantern was seen in
I he distance, and a rough voico called
out, "Who's there? Tis I, your
in.u.ter," responded the farmer, aa he
re. t'guizcd the video of his hired man,
'und for God's sa';e make haste, or it
will bo too late." Fritz approached, to---(,
her they lifted the inanimate form.and
y.i a fc-v ;ninutes arrived at the old farm
jiouse. It long past tlio usual hour
for supper, and tni) Hawkins, being
alarmed at her husband's protracted ab-fxri-.'.e,
was seated in her old fashioned
rocker by tho sido of tho open fireplace
in the comfortable kitchen cf the old
homestead knittii-g, while every now
und then sho would cast furi-vo glances
Reward the window, and strain her ears
to lute-i ;f she could catch tho welcome
oi:ml of her husband's footsteps.
The logs burned merrily ud cracked
md syj::ttered on tho irons, and threw a
cheery reflection in all directions about
j he room. The table was still set, and
with a bountiful supply of food. The
delicious home made bread, the print
golden of butter, tho ruby quinces and
)iuw.ci,:j: custards and the pretty blue
nd whito phina ollered an inviting
prospect to tho two men as they passed
ilio window ou their wnj to tho sitting
'Mercv cake, father, what have you

rom her seat, and, opeping tho door,
avy the men with their unconscious bur
den. -'p.o net waste any time in asking
questions, wife, but bring some brandy
is soon as possible," ho replied. With
rarfful hands they desited their un
bidden guest upon the settee and drew it
in front of ihe fire. Hastily divesting
himself of his outer garments, tho farmer
endeavored to resuscitate tho young girL
;-.J;an while Ruth had returned to the
roott ;vith the brandy, and with kindly
hands moistened tho lips of tho 3-oung
girl, an 1 succeeded in forcing a few
Sips down her thro.-.t, while the farmer
was husily engaged in rubbing .and slap
ping her" I lauds. At first all their at
tempts to brliig the girl back to conscious
lie:.s seemed fruitless, but at last a faint
fhi.-di overspread her features, fshe opened
I ict- eyes, and in pitiful tones begged that
she might remain duriiTg the night. The
farmer had scarcely noticed the girl, but
cny lie looked anxiously at her. "We
shaii !-; her. shan't we. father?" asked
31rs. Hawkins. "Of course, wife, of

Mrs. I la .v kins as she placed a tracer of
custaril upon a chair by the side of the
settee. "Call me Lena," replied the girl,
as nhe tried to partake of tho food that
was ollered to her.
The hospitable couple watched the
Mrangcr curiously, trying to solve the
invstery tluit hung around her. Those
white h;jids had never, scrubbed or
ecoi:red. an 1 there was a certain graoo
'ut every movement which impressed
one with tbe iea. that ehe wasuf gantle
Lii th, a girl wiioni no ordmary sorrow
had made a homeless wanderer. . The
clock struck 8 and then 9, and still the
TJJK DAILV
uat gazing at tho girl as bho lay -quietly.
When tho clock struck 10, and its last
cl imes had died away, tho girl timidly
inquired if sho was keeping them from
their rest. "Do not mind me," she said:
"I can sleep hero very comfortably."
It had Ix-on a query with Mrs. Hawkins
where to put tho new comer ever sinco
the had asked to stay. Tho garret was
first thought of, then tho west room; but
now, lighting a fresh candle, Mrs. Haw
kins led her guest into tho parlor and
through it into tho lest spare room and
turning down tho lavender scented bhects
and shaking tho downy pillows the
tented bedstead, she said in motherly
tones: "Sleep hero," and going back to
tho kitchen murmured dreamily: "For
in so doing you may entertain angels
unawares."
About midnight the storm, which had
been gathering all its forces during the
evening, burst violently forth. Tho old
farm houso fairly rocked with tho wild
gusts of wind, while the snow fell fast
and furious. It wa no wonder that tho
oor girl hid her lit ad beneath the blan
kets and thanked Clod for tlio shelter sho
had found; and when, after hours had
passed, the storm gradually abated, 6he
fell into a refreshing slumber. The next
morning sho was awakened by a tapping
at tlio door, and the voice of Mrs. Haw
kins inquiring if she might come in.
"Certainly, ma'am," replied tho girl in
a faint voico.
Entering tho room, and approaching
tho bed, Mrs. Hawkins found her guest
much better, but still suffering from the
ciTects of the physical strain to which she
had been subjected during tho previous
night.
"Lie still, my dear," said the kind
hearted woman, as tho girl attempted to
raise herself on her elbow. "I will bring
you something to eat, and, perhaps, by
noon you may bo able to get up."
In a few moments Mrs. Hawkins re
turned, bearing in her hands a tray cov
ered with a snowy cloth, on which were
temptingly arranged 6ome nicely but
tered toast, a poached egg and a delicious
cup of collce.
"Now, dear, cat a good breakfast, and
wo will soon have tho roses back in your
cheeks."
I 'lacing the tray on the sido of the bed
Mrs. Hawkins left tho room, and after
sho had cleared awa' her breakfast dishes
and finished her usual work, sho again
returned to tho chamber and found that
Lena had eaten heartily of the food placed
before her and was sleeping soundly.
"Poor child, I will let her sleep," said
Mrs. Hawkins to herself; "sho is in need
of it," nnd lifting tho tray sho stepped
softly out of tho room.
In the afternoon Lena awoke, and on
hearing tho clock in tho parlor strike 3,
sho was astonished to find that sho had
slept so long. Hurriedly dressing her
self, sho soon made her appearance in
tho kitchen, where she found Mrs.
Hawkins darning her husband's socks,
and tho farmer taking his accustomed
afternoon nap in the rocking chair by
tho fire. At tho sound of footsteps the
farmer awoko with a start, and straight
ening himself up, inquired of tho girl if
sho was better. "Much better, I thank
you, 6ir, r.nd I will not intrude upon
your hospitality any longer," replied the
girl, holding her bonnet in her hands.
"I am afraid you will have to content
yourself here another night," said the
farmer, "for the roads are impassable.
The snow has drifted so high in some
places that it would cover a little body
like you; but won't your friends be
alarmed by your absence?" "My
friends," replied the girl, sadly. "I am
trj-ing to find them, and if you will al
low mo to tell you my story, perhaps
you can assist mo, as they live some
where in this region." Placing a chair
near her owu Mrs. Hawkins requested
tho girl to be seated, while they listened
to her story.
"My mother," said she, "was the only
daughter of a wealthy farmer, who was
left a widower at her birth, leaving liim
with two children my mother and r.
son 10 years of age. When sho was 16
years old my father secretly wedded her
against my grandfather's wishes, and al
though sho wrote to that relative repeat
edly begging for forgivenness, her letters
were returned unopened. After two
years of unalloyed happiness I was born,
and fpf ten ycar3 my parents' union was
a happy Vne" until the fatal day came
which deprived my mother of one of the
kindest of husbands and me cf one of the
most indulgent cf fathers. One day a
largo 6uu; of money was found missing
from the safe In Uiu rF;c3 jn which my
father was employed as lookkeeper, and
he being tho only one who had access to
the safe, aud some of tho etolen money
being found in his desk, he was arrested,
tried, convicted and sentenced to ten
years' imprisonment. My mother, firmly
believing him innocent, converted every
thing of any vajuo into money to obtain
lawyers, hoping to save him. She ap
pealed to her father, but he would not
listen to her. and her letters were again
returned unopened. She wrote to her
In-other, but with 'he same result, and
she was finally obliged to see my fathei
sent to prison, strongly protesting hi
innocence to the last. For four years
my mother managed to eke out a scant y
subsistence with her needle, with what
little assistance I could givo her, but at
last care and sorrow did their work and
she wfvs finally forced to give up in
despair, and eventually became a victim
to quick consumption. For nine long
weeks she was confined to her bed, grad
ually wasting away. A little while be
fore Jicr death she called me to her bed
side, and. piling a letter in my hands,
exacted a promise from me that im
mediately after her death I would 6ell
what little furniture we had, go to my
grandfather's and deliver the proceeds
into his hands. As the tears streamed
down my checks she took my hands in
hers, and with a heavenly smile on her
countenance, bade me good-by and asked
me to meet her in heaven. Her last
moments were spent in breathing wprds
of affection for the husband 6he still
loved so dearly.
'Vi'jth the assistance of some kind
neighbors and t!:ii .sulof what little fur

me good night, leaving mo to wonder
what sort of people I should meet and
how they would treat mo.
"A half hour's ride brought ino to a
large, old fashioned house, standing in
the center of a lovely lawn, with an
abundance of trees and a carriage drive
on both sides of the house. Handing my
fare to the driver, he helped mo to dis

to the house. In answer to my ring at

wanted.
" 'Your master,' I replied. 'Will you

comfortably furnished room on one sido
of the spacious halL In a few moments
an elderly gentleman appeared and asked
me my business with him. I drew the
letter from my pocket, and, liauding it
to him, told him that was for my grand
father. Adjusting his spectacles, he read
the envelope carefully, and in a tone of
surprise exclaimed: 'My dear miss, the
gentleman to whom this letter is ad
dressed has been dead for fourteen years.
They say he died of a broken heart,
caused by tho disapearance of his only
daughter, who ran away and got mar
ried. At all events ho never forgave
her, and forbade her name to be men
tioned, and finally .died, leaving every
thing to his only son, with the condition
that if he should seek out his sister the
property should go to an institution. Tho
son, not caring to live in the old houso
after his father's death, sold it to me and
moved about three or four miles from
tho village of Oakdale. a distance of
twenty miles, but it will bo impossible
for you to get there to-night, as there
are no more trains, but I will call my
daughter and she will find 3 0U a bed for
tho night.'
"A few minutes later ho returned with
a very prepossessing young lady, whom
ho introduced as his daughter. After 1
had joined them at supper she desired me
to follow her into the hall up stairs into
tho prettiest room I had ever seen. The
pale yellow carpet, with its bunches of
roses; tho carved cherry bedstead, with
its dainty hangings; the dressing bureau,
with its pretty cover of satin and lace;
the pretty little willow recking chair
everything gave evidence of refinement
and luxury.
"The next morning, after partaking of
a hearty break fast, I thanked them for
their kindness and started on my journey
to find my uncle. For nearly two days
I journeyed along, sometimes getting a
lift from one of tho farm wagons, and
occasionally a meal from some of the
kind hearted people whom 1 would ask
to direct me. Towards night tho cold
grew intense, and I became so weak from
want of food, that I could go no further,
and and but you know the rest."
As the farmer listened attentively to
her sad 6tory his face grew pale, and,
striving to conceal tho agitation whicji
convulsed his entire frame, ho demanded
in husky tones tho name of the uncle she
was trying to seek.
"John Hawkins," replied the girl, as
she regarded the farmer with amazement.
As soou as he could sufficiently control
his emotions to speak, he stretched out
his arms and clasped her to his breast,
and in broken accents exclaimed : "Truly
the hand of Providence has directed you
hither, for 'tis I, your uncle, who brought
you to this house, and our homo shail be
yours, and you shall be one of us. Em
bracing first one and then the other, she
drew tho 6acred letter from her pocket,
and handed it to her uncle.
As he took it from her hands he pressed
it to his lips and said: "My poor child,
as soon as your grandfather died I made
every effort to find my sister, and traced
her as far as London, where I learned the
story of your father's misfortune. There
all traces of her were lost, and I con
cluded sho had changed her name and
gone to America. At all events, I had
given her up for dead, and now, after

I'noful Citixon and Had the FrieutUhlp
of .111 A Tale of Sluvery TIiiiom.
Here is the story of tho life of Solomon
Humphries, a most remarkable negro,
who lived in Macon during the pioneer
days of the town, iuid w ho was in his
day not only the wealthiest negro in the
south, but commanded the rcsjiect and
esteem of all the white ieople.
Sol In-longed to a rich planter, ono of
the old time 6ort, who lived in Jones
county, which adjoins this. Being al
lowed more privileges than the other
hands, and having more intelligence
than tho average negro, Sol managed to
make an odd -thrip," and every one was
laid up for the puqiose of purchasing his
freedom.
This was done in 1 two years after
Macon was made a town, and. with a
nest egK of money given to him by his
kind master, he came to Macon and open
ed a little store 011 the east sido of the
river, that being really tho town in those
days. Although h- crnH irit'ii r r
nor wri.e he was a natural mathema
tician, working his sums mentally. His
politeness, neatness and good business
habits soon began to have good effect,
and he became one of tho largest mer
chants in the country.
"SOL," IN UL'SINESS.
In those days there were no steam
boats here, and freight was brought up
the river on fiat towboats from Darien,
then an important seaport. These boats
were manned by negroes, 6ix on a side,
who handled the oars with singular
skill. When they neared tho bend in
the river near Macon these dozen hands
would strike up with a song, and 011 a
still clear night the musical strains from
these loud lunged singers came floating
over the water as sweetest music. They
would remain here a few days to unload
the goods for tho merchants, and then
return to Darien with some four to five
hundred bags of cotton on each boat.
The bulk of the goods and cotton be
longed to Solomon Humphries.
After a few years of successful busi
ness Sol began to take lifeeasjy. He pur
chased a place of ten acres near town
and erected thereon a line home. The
gentlemen who went by on their hunt
ing trips never failed to stop and get
some of Sol's buttermilk. His house was
always open to his white friends, and
frequently ho gave dinners that were
really royal feasts. At these dinners
Sol was never known to sit at tho table.
The guests were seated and it wa3 Sol's
pleasure to wait on tho table. The dig
nitaries of the state broke bread with
him, and one who was the most frequent
visitor and enjoyed Sol's hospitality the
most was the late Governor Charles J.
McDonald, between whom and Sol a
great friendship existed. According to
tho laws of Georgia at that time a free
negro was compelled to have a trustee,
and McDonald, who was then the first
solicitor general of this circuit, after
ward judge and then governor, held the
position of trustee for Sol.
On ono occasion, when Sol was on his
way north to purchase goods, he was ar
rested in Charleston as a fugitive, and
was lodged in jail, in spite of his en
treaties, to wait until his trustee coulc
bo communicated with. That was be
fore the days of telegraphy, and mails
were slower than now. There was Sol.
whose credit was good in New York for
50,000 and in Macon for as much more
penned up in the jail at Charleston as ;
runaway negro. Governor McDonald
lost no timo in forwarding the propel
certificates and tho message that if i;
was necessary he would go on to Charles
ton and certify to his being free in pop
son. He was then released and proceed
ed on his way to New York, being care
ful not to come back by way of Charles
ton.
BECOMES VEUY RICH ASD BUYS A WIFE.
Sol's trade grew larger and larger. In
1SC3, when steamboats began to run or.
tho Ocmulgee river, the .consignments
to him were larger than those of any
other merchant. In 183iJ he married. His
wife's name was " Patsey," and she was
also purchased by him. She was a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church in Macon,
and worshiped with the whites. So
great was the respect in which the was
held by the pastor and members that she
was admitted to the communion table,
and though she was a negro, living in
tho south where slavery was rampant,
she was shown every respect and kind
ness by her white friends. But with all
this there never was a time vhen "Pat
sey" or Sol attempted to overstep the
bounds. Sol became a member of the
church, and every Sunday nioming the
pair could be seen in their pew in the
little church, presenting rather a strange
picture to the northerner who came
south.
Several citizens of Macon, both of
wealth and enterprise, attained their
early business education as clerks from
Sol Humphries. One of them became
the merchant prince of the state, one be
came president of a bank, afterward
president of a railroad, and now lives in
New York, an old citizen and wealthy:
and still another i3 a prominent merchant
of Savannali. These gentlemen went
to work for him when they were boys.
As they grew up they went in business
on their own accounts.
In 1853 Soi's luck began to change.
His wife died, parties for whom he had
indorsed failed, and soon his wealth
melted away. In 135G lie died, and
though he was then only in moderate
circumstances, no funeral of those times
was so largely attended. All citizens of
every class turned out to pay the last
tribute to his memory, and a most im
pressive sermon was delivered by the
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
Such is the story of a free negro in
times when the south knew nothing but
slavery. Macon (Ga.) Cor. New Y'ork

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES.
In Case of Arcldo lit It I Well to Know
AVIutt la Hero Said.
What to do in cases of emergency is
an important subject, and informal ion
on it should le either committed to mem
ory or elso so placed as to be easily avail
able in time of need.
Burns of tho eye by calcium or lime
aro not very common, yet it is useful to
know how to treat them. In the event
of limo getting into tho eyo or around
the front of tho eyelids it is well to re
nicmbcr, until the arrival of medical at
tendance, that in no ea; o must water l-o
used. Washing with vinegar will neu
tralize tl;e caustic properties of the lime,
and any fractional bits may afterwards
be removed by the use of a feather or
camel's hair brush lightly applied, or if
neither is at hand, by linen folded to a
point. Acute inflammation of tho eyo
must be looked for after 6iich an acci
dent. Even wiih immediate medical aid
the eye may be much damaged, but
without it tho organ may be sacrificed.
I would like to call attention to a
remedy which possesses such wonderful
therapeutic powers in the cure of almost
till known wounds that it deserves a
place in every household. It is called
iodoform and comes in tho form of a
powder. It has no equal in tho cure of
chronic sores or ulcers, as well as cuts
and wounds of all kinds. Its value as a
remedy h'is been somewhat !".'! d lv
it wuur, wi.iwh i.-. I'.j k.Aj .'ji.ciioiiabij
feature about it, but for the sake of a
speedy cure this can bo tolerated. It is
used in all hospitals throughout the
world and recommended by the medical
profession in every land. It is an in
gredient of all ulcer ointments now
adays. It is best used in conjunction
with some vehicle, such na vaseline
in the proportion of ono drachm of
iodoform to one and a half ounces cf
vaseline. It is well to have it carefully
and prominently marked "Poison, for
external use only." Use it by spreading
upon lint and bandage it to the wound
twice a day. When removing and be
fore applying a fresh bandage, wash the
wound thoroughly with warm water and
soap.
A3 we aro often placed in positions re
quiring assistance and, perhaps, thrown
upon our own resources, the following
may bo impressed upon the memory to
advantage:
If scalded, plunge the part in water. !
TI113 relieves pain instantly ana gives
time for thought and composure.
An insect in the ear may be drowned
out with tepid water or killed by a few
drops of sweet oil.
If anything hard gct3 into the car,
double a stout horso hair, place the head
on one side and drop tho loop into the
ear, move it about until it catches the
object and then draw it out.
In cases of poisonous bite suck the
wound instantly, unless tho mouth is
sore.
If tho tliroat burns after swallowing a
poison drink sweet oil. If you aro fall
ing asleep from a poison drink half a
glass of water into which has been stirred
a teaspoonful each of salt and common
table mustard,. and, after vomiting, drink
tho strongest coffee and keep in motion
until perfectly awake. After any poison
swallow one or two raw eggi.
If smoke is suifocating you fall on the
floor and crawl out on your hands and
knees.
Incases of insensibility, in which there
is loud snoring, the person is seized with
apoplexy. liaise the head, remove pres
sure from tho neck. If the face is pale
and tho breathing very low, it is a case
of fainting. Place tho body perfectly
level and lower tho head. Tho patient
will promptly revive. Nothing else is j
necessary.
Always remember that if you have
health don't meddle with it, avoid doc
toring and drugs until a real necessity
for their use arises. Cor. Now York

suite of four rooms. One of these is a
bathroom, where Mr. Carnegie can cool
oil an entnusiasm 111 a moment, or rem- )
vigorate himself with a convenient v.: 11-
letic machine. Another small room is
for a secretary. Here the habitable uni
verse is suspended in maps, any sptjt of
which can be immediately unfolded foi
the owner's inspection. The fourth room
is a luxuriously curtained alcove, over
looking the rear of the Cornelius Var.dcr
bilt house, and across tho way to ex-Secretary
Whitney's portal. Tho library
proper, a largo room in the center of
these, ha3 been decorated by tlio Associa
ted artists. The part of the decorators
is seen in tho harmonious impression of
gcldeu brown color. New York Star.
How a Fras kmet?i a Turtle.
At Hc-ublein's restaurant on Mulberry
6treet a large green turtle and a frog are
inmates of the fountain tank. A frog
cannot always remain under water, and
there is no chance for the fellow in ques
tion to reach a landing place 011 the side
of the tank. But he has discovered that
the top of tho turtle's back is out of water
except when the turtle dives. So he
mounts the back and rides around the
tank with an air of owning tho whole
business. When the tui tlo goes under
he swims around until the back comes to
the surface again, when he again mounts
and continues the trip. Hartford Cou
rant. Good Manner.
Good manners must have a solid foun
dation in kindness and self control. To
be genuine, they must be the fruit of
sincerity and good feeling, and their ex
ercise must be in conformity with the
working of these qualities in the heart.
No art can successfully counterfeit true
elegance of manners and deportment. To
be real they must have roots deep below
tho surface iu the soul and heart. Bos
