THANKSGIVING BEGGAES, Lor, your Thanksgiving beggars ain'tjnothing new ! We used to rin ourselves up in old rags when I w.us a gurl, and many's the good laugh we've hed when some of the neigh bors was took in by us, and filled our baskets with Thanksgiving fare. Your spelling matcheB ain't nothing new nwther. We UBed for to hev 'em oufto Pike's Clearing, jest for recre ation like; cold winter evenings they warmed you up a bit, and begot many a heart-burning, I'll warrant. In the summer time.'you Bee, we could hev a figger in the barn, if Ren bed his violin mended ; but winters there wa'n't nothing we could do but jest get together and cultivate our minds with the spelling-book, for we couldn't dance ili the school-houee on account of thejBeatB.? Seems to me I can see Sibyl Jones now waiting on the 6lttee for to be chose on one side or t'other; for, you see. Jack Rhett, Square Rhett's son.Iused to come and join us while he waa studying with Parson Paul to keep with his claaB at Yale the yearjhe was rusticated ; and the way of it was.Jhe always Jed one side of the.Bpelliug match and Matth ew Morris, FarmerMorris' Matt, led the other; and there Bat Sibyi as still as a mouse, only her hands working together under her shawl for the school-house wa'n't always as warm as love and her too eoft eyes a-glit-tering, glittering; and p'r'aps it wouldn't be till there wasn't nobody else left tolchoose that young Rhett would say. sauoy enough : "Well, now, I'll take MIbet Sibyl JoneB." "Last, but not least," Matt MorriB would call out. For the truth was, Matt would hev ohosefeer fust him self, but he knew that she wouldn't io anything a-tpelling against Jauk Rhett, and that she'd sooner be Inat with Jack than firt with anybody else. That's what I call self-denial, or else I never come across the thing. But, you see, Jack was a-playlng sort of fust and loose with Sibyl; he hank ered after her pretty face and pretty manners, but be oouldn'tqtilto bring himself to overlook the distance be tween Squire Rhett's son and Farm er Jones' daughter, specially as Farm er Jones was a ne'er-do-well, and loved his own cider barrel bet ter'n all the rest of mankiud. Now with Matthew Morris it wbb different, as everybody knows. He loved Sibyl jest for herself, and it didn't make no odds to him who or what her father waB, so long as she was nobody but herself. But then he was only a farmer's eon himself, and p'r'aps he didn't know no better. Well, we kept up the spelling matches pretty much all winter, and sometimes Rhett would ohooae Sibyl the very fuBt, and then Imagine he'd contrive not to choose her at all, and shei be that cut up by it for Sibyl never hed much proper spirit that she'd be the furst to miss on words that a baby could spell, and Rhett would be sure to laugh and chaff her till the tears was just readjMo gUBh out of her two dove eyes, for the rogue knew it was all hit work. Heaven only knows why she cared a eoumarkee for the young aauce-box. He wasn't so handsome as Matt Morris, but he bad the Hall and the Square behind him, to be sure, and he wore store clothes, and such airs as wommen-folks take to. You see, he'd carry your shawl and hold your umberell and quote pretty verses to you if you was young and pretty yourself; and he hed a mustache that sort of drooped at the ends and gave him a sad look, which was quite contrary to his feelings. I've always noticed that gnrls tske to a mustache as a duck takes to water. He was full of misohief, too, and that's what gurls don't objeot to in the leasteBt ; the kind that gets rusticated and expelled, and that proper sort of mothers don't countenance, is jestthe kind the daughters mostly loses their heartH to. 2s ot that Sibyl was one to like fast young men ; she was so in nocent herself that she didn't as much as easpeet any thing about the wIckedueeB of this wicked world, and she thought Rhett was all that fancy painted him, aud maybe a good deal more. His fine airs was so nmnv vir tues, and she believed him if he said black was white. Sibyl was good and pretty enough for a duke's son, and she hed been sent to school by her great-aunt Gower to the seminary at Great Guus. and wa'n't no ways lack ing in book-learning; she could pass any word in the language, and she didn't murder the King's English as I've beerd some do that's hed more chances; and she was a master-hand at reading, and cooid tell you all THUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20. 1879. about furrln parts, and do the biggest earns In the arithmetic Nobody needn't bin ashamed of Sibyl, she was thatllmiylike and fit for the kingdom of'heaven. But the trouble was, she hed, set her poor beart on Jack Rhett. When he neglected her, all the light in.her world became darkness: when be-v?B8 kind, the darkness divided, andjlt was day. Many's the time I've seenjRhett loitering in the bitof wood nealSthe school-house waiting for Sibyl) who taught the district school thatlsummer; and then, when the scholars 'd come trudging out, he'd aeerrjjto happen near all by accident, andfraise hia hat and kMa'bia hand Lapviarm-.ik along wlthr.her, and It LTiI.lhe Waad YaaaLsRlMittiifaaa that thn: - ii.. , ,. tr-.-A-: 7S--i fHyrOBUU-WBB'kUB KilOrtBSV way borne at Bucn times. well, when he went back to oollege, he'd used to correspond with Sibyl, and when he come home on vacations, he'd contrive to meet her either by the trout brook or the Witches Pool a pretty puddle enough, that didn't seem to lead nowhere, nor to come from anywhere, all overhung with trees that reached across and knit to gether and darkened the place with shadders. It was suoh a lonesome place that you couldn't hire a girl in all Pike's Clearing to go there alone, yet it was a favorite npot for young folks a-keeping company ; such as ain't afeard of ghosts It ain't any thing but rivals as willj make their hair stand on end. One time Jack come home and didn'tgo a-nigh Sibyl for several days, and she set in the porch in her beat pink gown, with sweet-pease in her hair, and watched the road stretching out to Squire Rhett's and grew ro9y and trembled when a team or a man hovejin sight, and fidgeted in school hours, and didu't sleep o' nights, and got blue as a bank of clouds. On 8abbath-day there he wbb in the family pew as fine as silk, in kid gloves and patent-leather shoes, a-holdlug a hymn-book along of a strange gurl, who hed on a morey antique gown and a blue bon net like a llower garding, and was all a-glitter with beads and bugelsaud things. She hed a plaguy ugly face, for all her good clothes, and ehe was a-einging ofTof Rhett's face Instead of the hymn-book ; aud, when meeting was over, he give her hie arm, and never looked at Sibyl no more'u Bhe'd bin a post. We was at singing-Bohool the following Sunday night, and somebody says : "I reokou how that there'll be a wmldJujST at Jtlrtj1t5 Clearing afore a huuOTjed years." "I should hope so,' says Lucy Ladd. "And it won't be Jjucy's nor Sibyl's," sa.vs Ben. "Time enough for that," Bald Luoy. "I joked Rhett about It myself o' Friday," put in Jim Piker. "I asked why he needed to be going abroad for a wife when there was so many pretty gurls to home going a-begging.' "I hope you're saucy enough," says I. "Is be really sweet'on the gurl to church with him?" asked our Jane. "I wonder what he sees in her?" "Solid oharms," Bays Ben. "I beerd him tell John Piker that it was proverbial that beauty'd fade, but mouey'd hold its own through fire and water!" "I see him kiss Sibyl one day,'' spoke up little Tim Ladd, who was lame and petted ; "I aee him kiss her twiot. If be don't marry Sibyl. I will." Aud then we all laughed ; and "hush, Tim," says Luoy, for there was Sibyl at my elbow, jest taking off her shawl. The next day Ben and me was down to the Witches' Pool for father didn't want me to be keeping compa ny with Ben, and him and me didn't agree on that subject and while we was talking together there, hid away by the barberry bushes and the alderB and sumacs, who should come loiter ing by but Sibyl and Jack Rhett! and they stopped close by while he threw a pebble into the pool, and It went down and down, and is going down now for all I know, for there ain't no bottom to the pool, folks think. "There, Sibyi," I beerd him say, "my love for you Is as deep as that poo!,- Aren't you eatisfied? What does it signify if I do stay at home and amuse Bertha, if I'm thinking of you all the time and wishing I was here? You don't want me to be rude to a gurl who'a.vlaiting my mother, if she has got a mouth like a shark, and she a kind of coubiu, too. I'm sure you needn't be jealous of ber.'Sibyl ; 6he can't hold a candle to you !" "I am jealouB of your good name, Jack," eaya Sibyl. "It hurts me as if they hed run s knife through- me when I hear folks talk of you as they do." "What do they say about me?'1 "They say you mean to marry her, and you don't love her. I could bear it, you kuow at least I would bear it if you loved her dearly; but It hurts me like a wound to hear them talk as if you hed no honor and no love tor anything hut money." "I shall set it all right some day, sweetheart," said he. "The fact is, Sibyl, my father and mother fret me to death." "They want you to marry Bertha?" "That's It, and you and I must wait till their whim wears itself out. I have to humor them a little." "Oh, then you deceive them. Jack?" "And is that so terrible? I must either deceive them or you, sweet heart," said Jack, kissing her; but Sibyl ouly sighed, and then they passed on. You see, I was forced to play at eaves-dropping, because I didn't want folks to know howl was disobeying father and going on with Ben. Well, Bertha she went home, and pretty soon Jack went too, to study something or other at the earn? place, and folks left off talkiug about 'em, and Jack would send Sibyl a necklace or some trifle now aud then to please her; and since Sibyl oouldu't get the distriot school any longer, 'cause a woman did not know enough to tescb in the fall, she went out sewing, for she hed to help herself In those days; and one day Jack's mother sent for her to make a gown at the Hail, aud she liked that so well she hed her to makenother; rorMrH.Bhett was a mhitip&o ting on into November; the trees had turned to flames and burned them selves away, and the burberries were ripe and red, and Mrs. Rhett hed Sibyl up there to make her a silk perlisse, and they got talking about Thanksgiving beggars, for Thanks giving bed been appointed. "I always give 'em something," said Mrs. Rhett, "whoever they are. A pie won't hurt anybody. Mies Heushaw always turns 'em away empty-handed, for you never oan tell, says sue, wnetner it's one ot sue neighbor's gurls or a needy creature; but I tell hr the neighbors' gurls couldn't deceive me, nor any gurl that ever was born." "Oh, Mrs. Rhett," laughed Sibyl, "I mean to send somebody here, and see if you find out who Bhe Is." "So do," says Mrs. Rhett; "and if I don't find out, I'll give you as hand some a wedding gown as a gurl uead to put on her back when you want one." Though it was not particklar pleas ant on Thanksgiving eve, but hed snowed, and threatened to snow more. aud not a star waa out, yet a parcel of ub heair-braiued gurls got together, and thought it rare port to dress up in all the old duds we could raise, and iro out begging, and some of us was first-rate at imposing on kindly spin sters, who hedn't nobody but a cat to care for. Aud then tomebody said, "Let'B go and get Sibyl." It was some time afore we could per- euade her to joiu us, for she wa'n't none of the fooling kind ; but finally she got herself up so you'd died u-laughiug. She blacked her eyebrows with burnt-cork, and clapped on a fal&e front of Inky curl her aunt Lib by wore on Sunduj'H, which she combed out in tag-locks, and covered her head with an old moth-eaten woolen hood, aud put on a torn shawl over a liusey gown aud a calico apron, and made a mole out of putty on oue side of her nose, and altogether you'd uever hev guessed it was Sibyl to j'our dying day. Her own ma didu't know her when she went into the kitchen, but slammed the door in her face. "I mean to go up to Mrs. Rhett'e," said Sibyl ; for she'd got into the spir it of it by the time we waa In the road. "I want to aee if she'll know me. She thinks nobody can deceive her." So we separated ; and this waa what happened, though I never beerd the particklars till years after. You see she rung the bell at the Hall, and the man showed her into a room where the fire was burning low on the hearth ; and while he went to call the mistress, Mrs. Rhett, she set there awaiting by the dim fire-light aud watching the ahaddera, for the ser vant hedn't thought it worth while to light a lamp for a beggar-girl. And presently the door opened, and in strode Jack himself, a-whlstllng of "The girl I left behiud me." He hedn't wrote Sibyl be was coming home for Thanksgiving; aud jest as she was about to cry out for joy, for getting all her rags, somebody in tLe next room rustled forward, all shin ing in silk and lace, and puts her two arms round his neok, aud says "Dear Jack, I've been watohlng for you all day; why didn't you come earlier?" And the two didn't see nobody but each other there In the dim light, but Sibyl sees them both eees Jack with with hia arms about his cousin Ber tha, sees him kiss the hand upon which he slips a shining ring, and hears him call herhisown sweetheart, and swear that he loves her with all his heart. And Sibyl sits, stunned and bewildered like, a minute after the two lovers hev gone laughing and whimpering up the atair-case, a-listen-ing to the echo of their happiness, and, when Mrs. Rhett comes down to see the Thauksgiving beggar, the place is all dark and empty, and the fire haa burnt down to red coal, and it ia snowing fast outside, ' The way of it waa, poor Sibyl dragged herself along without seeing the way she went, without feeling the snow In her face, and then she dropped down of a auddiug on her poor face, and the snow kept falliug, falling, aud cover ed her as the robins cover the babes in the wood with leaves; and there'd been no Sibyl Jones by morning if it hedn't happened that Mutt Morris hed been to market, and fairly stum bled over a beggar-woman, as he thought, lying at one side of tberoad, he having got out of his ox cart to warm hia feet a-walking; and, never oust guesxing it was Sibyl, he lifted her into his cart, and wrapped the robes about her, and hurried home for dear life. "Here's a Thanksgiving: beggar for you mother," saya he; "where's your camphire bottle?" "Why, it's Sibyl!" says Mrs. Mor ris, when they come to put her to bed. "Run for the doctor." But she VOL. 24.-NO. 22. was olean out of her head with, a fever or somewhat, and the doctor wouldn't hear to her being moved borne. And so, you see, what with Matt's good ness and Jack's cruelty, it came about that from being a Thanksgiving beg gar she became a Thanksgiving bride only that happened a matter of five year later. Harper's Bazar. X SURFEIT OF BEAUTY. Seventeen 'ight- Blooming Cercus Floirers in Bloom Together. Washington Post. Embowered in a leafy neai of tropi cal plants, with the flaming scarlet and the glossy green, of whose bios- M.adiawajiiBftcBstoM.tibt.u..Kuj," iu flowers offered most cool and grateful contrast, the nigbt-blooralqjr cereus plants at Mr. Thomas W. Fowler's residence, No. 997 Fifth street, Mon day night, uplifted their pendant corollas in a glory of bloom and fra grance that haa never been equalled In Washington. Seventeen pure white blossoms, each bearing in its heart a tiny boat of golden eeeda. loaded the air with odor as heav; and sweet as ever perfumed the silent wastes of Sumatran flower forests. These cereus blossoms began to open about 6 o'olock Monday night, and at 9 the entire number flashed in the lamplight from their background of deep-hued frontage like white stars with golden hearts on an emerald Bky. As each one slowly unolosed its gloBsy, fragrant petals, emitting at eaoh pulse of motion a tremendous wave of voluptuous perfume, one might well think the flower was trembling with delight at its own beauty and odor. They spring out of a book-like stem that hangs upon the very tip of a long narrow canoe shaped leaf, and In the faintest breath of air writhe and sway like the forked-tongue heads of some curious In dian serpents, clinging to the bough" of strange, quaintly-shaped, lissome Sumatran trees. Their perfume is heavy and tropical and voluptuotiB in the extreme, fascinating the sense with its surfeiting sweets. By thin morning they were ail closed, not tn open again. "Like most men's re Hglon,. said a bright-eyed girl who stood gazing with delight upon the unusual scene, "they last but a single day." Whereat, many there present thought that the sweetness excused the brevity, and that life was tooshort to be lived entirely amid the ravish ing pleasure of such exquisite but such distracting fragrance. Major Fowler's house was visited Monday night by at least 1,000 persona, all anxious to behold so fair and so rare a sight. Women "iVlio Are Xot Afraid of Mice. Young man, beware of Mich wo men.

Temperance and Life's Duration. Nelaon, in his "Vital Statistics" aaya: In intemperate persons the mortality betweeu 21 and 30 years of age is five times that of the temper ate. It becomes gradually less. A temperate person's" chance of living is, at 20, 44 years, at 30.36, at 40. 28 years; at 50, 21 years ; at CO, 14 years, but an intemperate person's chances ofliving is at 20 only 15 -ears ; at 30, 13 years ; at 40, 11 years; at 50, 10 years, and at 60 only 8 years. AH these deductions are drawn from the lives of 357 perrons, a small number it is true, but the facte are well authenticated.

In the early spring of 1S63, when the Confederate and Federal armies were confronting each other on the opposite hilla of Stafford and Spott sylvania, two bands chanced one evening, at the same hour, to begin to discourse sweet mu-tic upon either batik of the river. A large crowd of soldiers of both armies gathered to listen to the music, the friendly pick ets not interfering, and soon the bands began to answer each other. Firat ;. the baud on the Northern bank would play "Star Spangled Banner," '' "Hall Columbia," or some other na tional air, and at its conclusion the "boys In blue" would cheer most lustily. Aud then the bund on the Southern bank would respond with "Dixie" or "Bonnie Blue Flug," or some other Southern melody, and the "boys in gray" would attest their approbation with an "old Confederate yell.' But presently one of the band Htruck up in sweet and plain tive notes, which were wafted across the Rappahanock and caught up at once by the other baud aud swelled, into a grand anthem which touched every heart, "Home, Sweet Home!" At the conclusion of this piece there went up a simultaneous about from both sides of the river. Cheer fol lowed cheer, and tboe hillp, which had do recently resounded with hos tile guns, echoed aud re-echoed the grand acclaim. A chord had been struck, responsive to which the hearts of enemiens enemies then could beat in unison, and on both sides of the river.

According to Les Moudea, Dr. rodie has successfully treated a Du case of croup, in a child 7 year, old, by scraping the larynx. The method is to introduce rapidly the left index fiuger into the pharynx, so as more surely to reach the upper laryugeul opening; then, with the right hand, a piece of curved whalebone is intro duced, having a small piece of sponge fixed at the end soaked in tepid wa ter Affer three or four movements un and dowl, the infttrtimpnt wB ,- , quickly withdrawn, this being done three different times at each sennce. The sponge was covered each time with a debris of faloe membranes. The instrument has a reflex as well as a mechanical action, causing: spas modic movements, which provokes the ejection of the false membranes The child rapidly recovered. False Chocolate.
