COLUMBUS, NEB, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,
now sin: LOVED HIJI.
BY JENNY WRE.V.
'It's a great shame, Ilarry Jameson
that's what it U I I believe in call
ing things by their proper names..
I'm old-fashioned enough for that,
and right glad I am of it; aud I say
it's a downright, burning shame, and
I've only been waiting until you
grew strong enough to tell you so.'
And the old lady, after delivering
herself of the above sentences, fell
back in the rocking-chair, aud began
vigorously fanning ; while the young
man addressed lifted a pale, hand
some face from the pillow of the
couch on which he was reclining,
with a low-drawn whistle of aston
ishment. 'Upon my word, auntie," he said,
in rather feeble toneB, jthis is abso
lutely refreshing. I've not been scol
ded by you before in so many years
that I had almost forgotten you
knew how ; but as usual I am treated
to the lecture first, and learn mv
fault afterward. Of what have I
been guilty now? I thought this
rendered me helpless enough to keep
me out of mischief," aud he held up
to view a splintered aud bandaged
arm.
'It's that that's made all the trouble
If you'd not been thrown from your
horse here at Farmer Crowley's very
door breaking your arm, and very
nearly your head, it wou.u not have
been necessary for you to be nursed
by Farmer Crowley's pretty daugh
ter. Ah, my old eyes are blind, but
they can see where youuger eyes
fail 1 Bofore I was sent for, the mis
chief was dono. You'ye taught the
giri to love you, Ilarry; and I say
again its a burning shame !'
'To love me, auutie? Oh no,.no
you arc mistaken I True she has
been a gentle, tender nurse. I think
I owe to her care my very life. BhI
it cannot be that she loves me. God
knows I would save her from such
a fate !
'How you speak ! One would sup
pose she was a queen, Instead ot
your beiug the one upon the throne.
If she were in your own rank of life,
it would bo a different thing. She's
pretty enough to be loved for herself,
and you might make amends by fall
ing in love aud marrying her; but
as it 18 you're not satisfied with your
broken limbs, but have broken the
poor girl's heart ns well. It's ull
very well to be uucouecious now,
but you must have seeu it for your
self long ago before it was.toolate.
Too late ? Long the words echoed
in Harry Jameson's ears, after his
auutie had left him.
Well he remembered the frame of
mind in which he had mounted his
horse on that memorable day, some
six weeks ago. In his breastpocket
was the letter he had received that
morning from the woman who had
been bis affianced bride, on whose
taith and love he would have staked
his trust in goodness a letter which
told him he would have staked ami
lost; for, in a few breathless honeyed
words, she bade him farewell for
ever, and announced her engagement
to another man.
No wonder he had'been desperate,
reckless, driving his spur into his
faithful horse, until the animal, all
unaccustomed to be goaded by the
cruel steel, swerved suddenly to one
side so suddenly that his young
master was dashed down among &
pile of stones.
His first waking memory was of a
pairofgrest browh eyes bent ten
derly and compassionately upon him
of two little hands whose touch
was ever cool and healing of a
sweet, fresh voice, which he had
early learned to miss when it was
silent.
And now the bitter truth waB bro
ken to him that this girl loved him.
She did not know that he whose bro
ken frame she so carefully struggled
to restore would have been almost
glad had there been for him or U no
return to consciousness.
Pshaw ! It was his auut's idle faucy
that this wretched thing had come
to pass, and so tuinking, he M into
a troubled sleep. It was twilight in
his room when he opened his eyes.
Fay?' he murmured, half in
dream-land.
'I am here, Mr. Jameson,' the
young voice made answer.
He started, then, fully awake
'Did I call you ?' he questioned.
'You see you were in my'thougbts.
Ah I remember; I had something to
tell you 1 The doctor says I am well
enough to be moved, Fay, and I have
decided to be carried home to-morrow.
'Home?'
Ah well Fay knew the Insepera
ble barrier that lay iu the short ten
miles which divided the Hall from
the farm-house. The, crimson rush
ed to her. cheek, the teara unbidden
to W' though .he bent her head to
conceal them.
"Have we nursed you so badly,"
she questioned, ''that tho first use you
make of your strength is to leave
ua?"
Spite of her elforts to be calm, her
voice was hoarse and broken. Her
very attitude betrayed the fatal
truth.
A sudden,generous motive sprang
up in the man's seared heart. II is
owu happiness had been blighted.
Might he not make the happiness of
another? He could no longer doubt
that this child loved him. He well
kuew by his owu pangs the torture
to which his leaving might condemn
her. So she spoke:
"Suppose I Bay, Fay, that I shall
stay only on one condition, and that
is that my little faithful nurse, who
has thought fit to save his life, will
take that life into her own sacred
keeping, and that when restored to
health and strength, I leave the
farm, my wife goes with me?"
"Oh, Mr. Jameson, wh.it do you
mean ?" ,
And now the hot scarlet face was
buried in the two little hands. Very
tenderly he drew them down, im
prisoning them in his own strong
clasp.
"Is my meaning so hard to read,
little one? Cannot your heart in
terpret it? Haye I read it wrongly,
Fay? Is it dumb like your lips.'
Then she burst iuto a passion of
sobs. Otherwise her happiness must
have killed her.
He kissed her tears away, and Bhe,
in broken words, told him, in a half
shy way, something of the joy he
had brought into her life.
It was his conscience which left
him so littlo now for regret, he
thought, iu the days aud weeks that
followed, which blotted out, and
even blurred, the would-be memo
ries of that far-off-time which
brought to him something strangely
like peace, as, one fair morning, iu
the early June, he walked to the lit
tle country church, beside Fay, aud
standing up spoke the words which
bound them each to the other till
death did them part.
II s mother was abroad at the timo.
His father had long been dead. He
was the head of tho house. What
would his mother say when she lear
ned the truth? Yet not tho whole
truth. She would think love had
been his guide, aud he could uevtsr
undeceive her.
Still six months after their marri
age, he heard of her home-coming
with a something not all pleasure.
Not that she could say aught to him
self which could sting or wound, but
she had never written him since the
news of his marriage had reached
her, and he feared she might wound
Fay. lie was strangely tender to
his young wife iu these days.
'It is because she loves me so well,
and I have so little to give in return,'
he said ever to himself, and wonder
ed if to every man the sense of duty
fulfilled bt ought the same quiet hap
piness. He grew to feel a pride as well iu
his young wife. Her beauty had al
ready created comment, aud though
she shrank from the demands of so
ciety, now that they were wintering
in town, he had no reason to blush
for his rustic bride.
'My mother will be here to-day,
Fay,' he said to her, as they sat one
morning at the braaktast-table.
'Doubtless she will telegraph me of
her arrival so that you may look for
us together, though I hardly think
the steamer can arrive before evening
and, Fay, if she is not quite cordial
just at first, dear, have a littlo pa
tience. She has alwayB been first,
yon know, and she may be just a
little jealous of her boy.'
'Oh, Harry,' she answered, 'I do
not wonderl I think if I were to
share your love with any one else it
would kill me!'
'To share my love,' he mused, 'she
said would kill. What would it be
if'
But he dared not add the rest.
'Pardon madam, I did not hear
you knock,' said Fay a few hours la
ter as she sat in her pretty boudoir,
and looked up in surprise at the ele
gant woman who, unannouncod,had
oponod the closed door aud intruded
upon her privacy, aud now stood re
garding her with a fixed stare.
'It is not my custom,' she answered
at last, 'to crave admittance into
any room of my son's house.'
Fay sprang to her feet, coming
awiftly forward with outstretched
hands.
'Forgive me I You are then Harry's
mother. Ah, now I see you have
his eyes 1 You did not telegraph him,
then, and let him meet you ? I, mad
am, am hia wife.'
'Hia wifel' and in the two simple
words sounded a very tempeBt of
concentrated scorn, while Fay's
hands dropped to her side, and an
expression of acute anguish swept
over her beautiful face.
'He loved me, madam, and he mar-
imtpil
1880.
ried me,' she auswered, with a gen
tle dignity.
'Ht loved you ?' the other repeated
cruelly. 'You do uot know, then,
that ho married you from the veriest
pity. He had a quarrel with the
woman who was to have become his
wife, when Fate threw you iu his
path. You betrayed your secret,
and he, reckless of his life, gave it
to you. Ah, you schemed well;
but I am no hypocrite. Your pret
ty face does not deceive me I"
"Madam 1" and the young voice
rang out iu its outraged entreaty
like the sharp lash of a whip cutting
tho air.
"I have said nothing I cannot
prove," she heartlessly pursued.
''Remember, I am his mother, and
must look ou to see the sacrifice ho
has made of his life. He might
have wedded, yirl, the highest in the
land, and he married you"empha
siziug the last word with cruel con
tempt. Fay opened her lips to answer,
but only a low moau broke from
them as she fell senseless to the
floor.
Without a trace of pity in her
hard face, tho elder woman sum
moned her maid ; but consciousness
brought 110 return to reason, and,
when Ilarry Jameson, hastily sent
for, reached his home, his young
wife's life was despaired of.
"I said it would kill me," she mut
tered, in her delirium, only to share
your love! Oh, Harry, had you
none to give? Had she taken it all
from me before I ever saw you?
My husband ! my love ! my life ! Ah,
my life the life that was yours, and,
without you, faded and died!"
"What docs this mean ?" ho ques
tioned, sternly.
"Only that I told her the truth,"
his mother answered. "I did not
dream she could be so weak."
. For the first timo the proud wo
man, quailed beneath the lightning
glance of her sou's flashing eyes.
"Fall on your knees and pray,"
he commanded "pray that God
may save her, if you would not have
turn in horror from her murderer.
Mother! mother! giye me back the
I the one love of my life!"
And in that instant all Harry
Jameson's sophistries fled.
Slight as was the form before him,
flushed and unconscious Hie face
tossing on its pillows, he knew that
it held to hini all the future meant
of hope and happiness.
One night, after teiL anxious days
of watching, came the crisis, when
Fay opened her tired eyes with a
dawning sense of returning reason.
They rested on her husband's face,
first with an expression of adoring
love, and then a very agony of suf
fering.
Ho fell on his knees beside her.
"Fay !" he whispered ; "my dar
ling, do not leave me iu darkness!
Oh I my love, for my sake live !"
She made a faiut motion of her
head, aud then her eyes swept the
room as though in search of some
one.
He rose and crossed the hall to
where his mother was sleeping.
"Come!" he said to her. "You
shall speak forme."
Silently she arose, a sudden sof
tening at her hard, proud heart. She
well knew that another crisis was
pending, aud the issue the love of
her only boy.
"My daughter!'' she said very
gently. "You must live, not only
for your husband's, but your moth
er's sake. I did not understand. I
know now the truth. He loves you
child. He -cannot live his dreary
life without you !"
So they won her hack to life. She
never knew the truth, aud she still
says, in her blind happiness :
"Ah, you see, I could not have
shared his heart!"
Tbe True Wife.
Oftentimes I have seen a tall ship
glide by against the tide, as if drawn
by an invisible tow line with a hun
dred strong arms pulling it. Her
sails uufurlod, her streamers droop
ing, she had neither side-wheel nor
stern-wheel ; still she moved on,
stately, in serene triumph, as with
her own life. But I kuew that on
the other side of the ship, hidden
beneath the great hulk that swam so
majestically, there was a little toil
some steam-tug with a heart of fire
and arms of iron, that was tugging
it bravely on, and I knew if the lit
tlo stem-tug untwined her arms and
left the ship, it would wallow and
roll away, and drift hither and
thither, and go off with the efflu
ent tide no man knows where; aud
so I have known more than one ge
nius, high-decked, full-freighted,
wide-sailed, gay-penuoued, but for
the brave toiling 'arm and brave
warm heart of the faithful little
wife that nestled close to him so
that no wind or wave could part
them, he would have gone down
with the stream and been heard of
no more. O. W.ITolmes.

The happfuess of your life de
pends upon the quality of your
thoughts; therefore guard accord
ingly, and take care that you enter
tain no notions unsuitable to virtue
aud unreasonable to nature.
The art of putting things was well
illustrated by Dr. Ganse, of St.
Louis, when he said to the working
men, iu speakiug of the value of
Sunday to them as a rest-day.

The river Jordan is not the only
pleasant water that empties itself in
to a Dead Sea. Some of the "sweet
est currents' of our lives are fated
to end there. Let us look to it that
we are borne thither on their lim
pid bosom.
How many men, iu talking to
those they wish to please, sweeten
their voice as if it were brown
sugar? A man's voice, like a man,
should be gentle, but still manly.
Nothing is plcasanter than a thor

There are a great many men born
in the world who imagiuo that they
wore born with genius, and lie down
on the sofa and wait for an inspira
tion until some other fellow, who
thought himself a dunce, rises by
hard labor to a competency, buys
tho sofa, and leads the waiting ge
uitiB out by the ear. This U uot a
joke; it is a fact.
The true grace of silence springs
from a renewed heart and a discip
lined mind. To cultivate it effec
tually wo must forget ourselves ;
forget our pride aud sensitiveness ;
forget as soon as spoken the wound
ing or the cruel words we cannot
always escape, and remember only
the example our Lord has left us, of
patient, uncomplaining silence in the
very presence of the fiercest calum
ny and rage.
Housekeeping.
Every woman owes it to her fam
ily, as well as herself, to simplify
her work as much as possible, and
uot todothingsthatnre unnecessary ;
for instance, it is a waste of time,
strength and blacking to black and
polish the fop of a kitchen stove af
ter each meal is prepared. Of course
other parts of the stove can be kept
nice with little trouble, and if the
top is kept clean till the fire is out
for the day, that ought to satisfy the
most paiitHtaking woman. A con
venient arrangement for washing
(he top of a hot stove is to have a
smooth, round stick with a soft cloth
securely tied to it. A cloth is much
better than a brush for cleaning
corners.
And old housekeeper, aud a wise
woman, said to me last autumn that
after twenty-five years of hard work
in kitchen and parlor, she had come
to the conclusion that although it
might cause a revolution iu the civ
ilized world she would never put
another zinc under her sitting room
stove. She amplified her statement,
saying: "The time I have spent on
my knees scouring that zinc if other
wise employed would have made me
a well-read woman, or if devoted to
my children would have been of
great benefit to them and comfort to
me." Her words seemed to me to
have great force in them, and the
result was that my own stove was
put up without the customary zinc.
Certain members of the family
prophesied the destruction of the
house by fire were surprised to find
that we were just as well off with
out it. A heavy oilcloth with news
papers under it was put under the
stove, and although it is a base
burner, aud we kept a large room
warm with it, the experiment was
a success. The oilcloth is easily
taken care of. Wash it with warm
suds, then with warm milk and
water, wiping with a soft cloth. E.

They are gotting up some curious
facts about Wm. H. Euglish, the
Democratic candidate for Vice Pres
ident. They find from the records
of the courts that since 1876 he has
foreclosed 186 mortgages. A list of
the suits aud dateB they were
brought is appended. A list is also
made out, and it is a long one, of
his sheriff's deeds and foreclosure
deeds. He is found also to be a
heavy speculator in tax deeds. Some
individual cases are appended taken
from prominent victims of the ra
pacity of this Shylock, that gives
him a character for greed, heartless
ness and meanness, second to none
in the country. Lincoln Journal.
A high-toned campaign will ex
cite more genuine enthusiasm on
both sides than a bitter, senseless
wrangle, which always leaves the
impression that both parties are
merely fighting for the spoils. If
the managers uuderstaud the pres
ent temper of the people, they will
conduct the canvass on an elevated
plane. Uly$s$s JDispatch

Upon the right of every Ameri
can citizen to cast one free, untram
melled ballot, and to have that bal
lot houestly and fairly counted, de
pends the permanency of the repub
lic. It is impossible to imagine
auything that will so abruptly des
troy confidence in our institutions
as the abolishment or an abridge
ment of a free expression of politi
cal sentiment, or the practice of
systematic fraud in the count where
by the will of the majority is set
aside.
The intolerance and fraud prac
ticed at tho south with reference to
political matters aro very alarming
features of the political situation.
If the cases of intimidation and
fraud were exceptions it would not
be so bad, but they are not. There
is no mistaking the fact that there
is a settled determination on the
part of southern democrats to se
cure the election of their ticket
every time in some way, and at all
hazirds. If the rcquisito demo
cratic votes are not to be had, intim
idation of the freedmen and opposi
tion voters is resorted to, aud if thia
does not servo the desired purpose
deliberate and outrageous frauds
are perpetrated at the polls on elec
tion day. For evidence of this it is
not necessary to go back of the
election in Alabama the other day.
There were no political issues be
fore the people, but so intent were
the regular democrats upon retain
ing entire control of tho civil ma
chinery that the state militia and
armed citizens were called out to in
timidate the opposition, (for there
was no republican ticket in the
field) and failing in this the ballot
boxes were stuffed, in defiance of
the protests of those who witnessed
the fraud.
But serious as this condition of
affairs is in any republican commu
nity, it would not be so bad if vio
lence and fraud were not sanctioned
by public sentiment. The best class
of citizens, the press and ths entire
democratic part' of the south ap
prove everything that is deemed
necessary to democratic success re
gardless how lawless or revolution
ary it may be. Any one familiar
with the state of feeling iu thesouth
knows full well that this is the case.
In short a ca.su al perusal of the
southern papers will furnish suffi
cient evidence to convince any un
prejudiced person. A case in point
comes from Memphis. Not satisfied
with the way things were going, a
paper in that city gave utterance to
some independent criticism, but the
withdrawal of patronage and vari
ous indications of displeasure soon
brought tho editor to bis senses,
whereupon he received the follow
ing from a "respected" and "influen
tial'' citicu :
"I can congratulate you upon your
return to your old position in poli
tics again, the only position iu which
an independent paper ia to be toler
ated iu the south, that of battling for
the supremacy of the democratic
party. That party recognized our
rights of property in our slave?,
sympathized with us in our late war
and has steadfastly fought with ua
against any reconstruction in which
tho negro was recognized ; we of the
south were ingrates if wo were not
devoted to its triumph."
Commenting upon the progress of
the independent movement in cer
tain sections of the south, the Mem
phis Avalanche gave expression to
its opinions in this very significant
way :
"We must have but ono party, and
that the democratic party. White
men who dare to avow themselves
here as republicans should be
promptly branded as the bitter and
malignant enemies of the south.
The name of every northern man
who presumes in this community to
aspire to oflice upon republican votes
should be saturated with stench. We
can spare all such, and would cau
tion them to be careful to keep away.
We must put an end forever to this
aharaeless effrontery of northern
men and republicans aspiring to of
fice in the south. They must, keep
back seata, and very quiet ones, or
get out."
Hampton's speech in Virginia, and
the "outcher" Butler's speech in
South Carolina, in which the ostra
cized and "marked" General Long
street was held up to the people as a
horrible example of the effect of in
dependence, are illustrations of the
same intolerant spirit. Any quantity
of similar evidence could bo adduc
ed, but it is not necessary.
So long as this spirit prevail! at
the south, the loyal north owes to
Itself, to tho memory of the three
hundred thousand brave men -who
were sacrificed in the cause ot free
government, to see that the control'
of public affair 8 is not placed in the
hands of men who have no respect
for our institutions, and who deny
to American citizens free speech and
the right to exercise their political
preferences. Buffalo Commercial.
