THE GOLDKV ROD. I walk amid the golden rod Late effloresceuec ->f the sand To wateli t * gi Ties of tho light Ap sunset changes into night. Ati me! one year ago to-day I wandered in this gulden way, A little year xlo tg, lon/ year, When autumn's icavea wore brown and sere. Hot then alore, with tear-dimmed eyes I walked beneath Oct dmr skies. My darling in those halcyon hours Was with me ’mid the bright wild flowers. He’ll come no more, I idly stray Along t Ins path at close of day. The ligli s fade out, mv love is dead- Amt golden r and oleums -’er hie head. —//*, A’. E. lHtilc.ni*nn % iu iV-ysida Floinert % OUlt GIRL.. BY JULIA DITTO YOUNG. I Copyrijfi'.ed, IHS7.] What did we not suffer for years at the hands of servants? There was the one who stole the horse pistol mv uncle car ried at the battle of Gettysburg, one who made a chicken fricassee and poured the gravy thereof down the kitchen sink, the one who had epileptic fits, the one who ate a whole box of desiccated ooooanut and nearly died from the effects, the one who preferred keroseno to kindlings for lighting the fire, the one who had escaped irom the lunatic asylum and had to be taken bacs there in a carriage. Dear, dear! Iteallv, 1 think that the creatures would have given me a brain lever, only, a> my husband said, X hadn’t enough brains to have it with. But at. last a radiant being dawned on our darkness and lent us ner aid, one whom we could regard not only with toleiation, but even with respect, and to whom we could proudly and affection ately refer as “our girl.” Her parents, both Germans, bad died twenty years he fore, w ren she was a baby, and she bad been brought, up in a Luttierau home tor orpnans. Tne matrons and sisters of that institution bad thoroughly instructed bet in domestic service, but they had appa rently tailed to imbue her with religious principles, and she was an unworthy dis ciple o! Martin Luther so tar as spiritual graces were concerned. She never went to ebuteb, possessed no Bible, and when about her work sang snatches ol waltzes aid German love songs rather than hymns. It was a marvel #o me how her tinv bands and leet could perform the labor they did. tor she was a little butterfly of a tiling, and her slight figure in its neat calico dress was absurdly diminutive. I ant bound to admit that her dimensions were much augmented on occasions ot her going out tty theadv ntitiousaid of hoop , stiffly starclnd skirts, and immense Gainsborough hats. Site was pretty ai ways, whatever she wore, with Iter magnificent braids of jet black hair and great black eyes, whose soil brilliancy was not outshone even by her favorite Uiiiue stone earrings. Her complexion was ot tUat clear pale tint sn much ad mired in refined circles, but this pallor was exceedingly distasteful to her, ami she was accustomed to remedy it bv abstracting a petal from an artificial ,lac(|iieiii not rose, bought for the purpose, and transferring some ot its perennial blot ni to her clteeks. I enjoyed a very calm and peaceful sea son wnlie. she lived with me, and not a wave of trouble rolled across my peace ful breast durii g the w l ole eighteen months site washed, iron' and, baked and scrubbed in our house. Her leign wa unmarked by the odors of scorching steaks ad the crash of tailing china; the only sounds that ever penetrat and to tin sanctum were the pleasant ones of her light heart' and singing and merry laughter. 1 thick 1 never saw her de pressed but once, when she came up stairs with r'd eyes to tell me her autv was di ad attd’she would like to go to the funeral. The only thtng against her, there’s al ways something, you know, was her go ing out so much, it never seemed to make any difference in her work, for after spending most of the night at a ball she would fly about all next day with no decrease of spaed and energv. But my husband said it was per fectly scatida'ous to have her let-inn herself in with her key in the wee stua’ hours. “Suppose some of the neighbors should see ber, what would they think?” he de manded. “It’s not what any one thinks, it’s a question of ri rht and wrong,” i declared, gravely. “Ought X to let a young girl liv ing und u r my roof imperil her health, her reputation even, perhaps the eternal wel fare ot her soul ?” I decided that 1 ought not, and finally when several hapless young women bad been murdered bv their a'tendant swains in adjacent cit es—you know now thn-e things break out ail over the country a' once, I'ke an epidemic—l spoke to her on the hul i 'Of, in a b-airating manner, aid ir, well•selecitd woids of l,a’in deriva tion 1 inform and her that good name in man or woman was the immediate jewel ot the soul; also that men were deceivers ever; also that in a shady cdl where none may spy him sits sin to seize tic soul tbat wander nv him. But sba only laughed, and soon c mvinc and me t int she had a more practical knowledge o! life than I shall have it I live to lie a hundred, so alter that I knew she could take care of herself and was more easy in my mind. 1 worried a good deal about her money, though, ol course, it was none of mv business. I could',’t irauine where it vv< ut to, for she had neither toe splendid wardrobe nor the comfortable bunk ac count naturally to be expected from the princely income of $•! a week Ladies of wealth are treiiueutiy heard to a“evera'e that a servani girl on lit to dress de cently and save money out of her wages. It is so easy, when you yourself are wear ing sealskin nod diamonds, to question the right ot less fortunate mortals to the red ribbons ami nick") hairpins where withal they love to adorn their persons! Without possessing the sealskin and and a tnonds, 1 nevertheless felt it tnv Impera tive duty to remonstrate with Kitty upon her reckless expenditures. “Tell me Kitty.” 1 said, coaxingly, “what uul you do with your last mouth's pay?” “W ell,” she replied, after some delib eration. “1 bought halt an ounce of llarle Stuart cologne—that’s a quarter ol s dollar.” 1 laughed. “You are like the man who spent $lO so fool is dv that the only account of it be mould render to his wife was, *1 give lone cents to the prasti'l’ ” “Then there'* that string ol pink Ro man pearls—you said youiselt they were cheap at 50 cents.” “Yes,” 1 admitted—they bad looked so suit end pre'ty on i er neck while she was waiting lor h-r Inver he previous evening that tboy were cheap at any prios. The list of her purchases tvs* eos-i exhausted. “There’s car tickets and a toothbrush, ami 1 think that’s all,” she concluded, ’’except a box of powder. “Y u wouldn’t, bcliovo how quick 1 use one up.” “You shouldn’t uno it at all—you dor.’t need It, and it’s s'l on’ of style.” 1 said, severely. “Now, l'uiv, h.w do you sup pose you and tfcr.i j'ung mar. are over going to b; nurrled and *et up hour.o. keeping nlci ly? You two nu hi, to -ret to &o:Lcr enough tno.ey to make a payment er. one of thone little no v houses out on Itci el avenue,” “Ho saves a good deal,” said Kitty. * 1 know if, but you ought to help oim; ttu ought to put 'invar half vour wages every time I pay yon,” 1 said, and was going on with great ardor to expatiate upon various forme of investment, when a vision ot Kit tv married and my house hold gods a prey to her sueoes-or stopped my utterance, and sh" promptly seized the opportunity to escape uom the in quisition. f p ' i } -t—. ■■i,. t v*T.T taart I r IT WAS NOT I.OXO AFTER THIS THAT SHE BROUGHT ME A LETTER ADDRESSED TO HERSELF, It was not long after this that she ! brought me a letter addressed to herself, I whose contents sbe was quite uuabie to ; understand, couched as they were in | legal and technical terms. The letter was from the lawyer of a wealthy ladv in St. I.ouis, lor whom Kitty’s mother had worked a long time in her girlhood as a child’s nurse. The lady had died six months before the date of the letter, and her mind during her la-t illness reverting to the i arly years of ber marriage and to the person who bad so tenderly and faith fully cared for her children, she resolved io make some little provision for the old age of that person. The lady bad lost -Ight of her old servant for many years, and in the event ol the servant havingdied before berselt the legacy—ssoo—was to revert, to a certain charity; but and the servant survived the testatrix the money was to go to ner and ber heirs for ever. “Don’t vou see, Kitty? It’s perfectly plain. Your mother died twenty years ago. more’s the pity, so the money stays in St. Louis; but if she had died within six months then vou would have $500.” I pauspd, startled by the agitation in Kitty's face. “What’s the matter!” I said, gently. Surelv the child was not going to ci v for her mother now, when she had been for a score of years free Irom toil and trouble and battling with the world ? “I can’t tell you—l never meant to tell 1” sobbed Kitty. - , "You must tell me every word!” I aid. firmly, and as no one can withs'and mv detei mination where a secret is to lie un earthed, Kitty told her stoiy, in a voice choked bv tears. "You remember I told you mv aunt was dead and 1 wanted to go to the uneral? Well, it wasn’t mv aunt—it was my mother! She didn’t die when tsi ber did. She put me in the Home and tried to work, but she was a little thing 1 ke me, aid not strong, and she was very p elty and so—” A fresh burst of sobbing filled up tb hiatus better than any words. Poor little Kitty! 1 saw now whence she derived t.er vanity and innocent love ot finery. It will never be known wbat long dead ancestor bequeathed to her her power of self-denial, of devotion, of silently bearing aspersions and ill-repute rather than betray her mother’s unworthi ness. “>be used to come down to tlqe Home t > see me.” continued Kitty, “and she wore the most beautiful silk dresses, bur even when L was a little bit ot a child I knew she didn’t come by them rightly And I saved up the pennies visitors would give me to buy candy, till 1 had enough to buy her a Bible. It, took me a longtime. I th‘tight maybe it might do ber some good.” () Luther! Martin Luther! did t reailv think your influence was of no avail in this age of ours? ■‘Alter a while she wore plainer clothes and began to have a hard time every way. Sbe was real poor these last few v. srs, amt I helped her all X could. Fifteen months ago she go! sick with a cancer, and alter that 1 took all the care ot her.” “B it, you have been hero, living with me!” I exclaimed. “Yes; tiul 1 hired a bedroom and had the woman that lived in the bouse go in and tend to mother all she needed.’’Kitty explained, simply. ‘ oi course i couldn't nay as much as I ought, but the woman s real good—she Is waiting for what I owe. The (iocor was kind, too; he wouldn’t make out any bill at all. Well, she sn tiered everything for a year and then she died. Tne very at day she read in the Bible I gave it r when I was a little girl, and we clasped her hands over it, m ibe c dfin.” “But. Kitty, 1 don’t understand- did vou go to balls all tee time your mother was so sick ?” “Oh, no.ma’am! Sometimes ’ went, be fore she got very hat. but toward the last I spent every minute I could with her, and many a nighr when you thought 1 was dancing i sat bv ber till daylight and then hurried back here lon g before vou wera up.” _ t- bLa # -s . •■v:- m lk JSh imhik f1:|!l; *2" iLsdUsjjihJ jjJ “no YOU EXPECT ME TO STAY DOWN HERE AND WATCH EVERYTHING?

Ob, l don’t w ant you to think bard of her. She was never bud io me.” “She must havo been some good, to have such a good daughter,” I said, genllr. “And 1 wan never going to tell, only the letter euro about the money, and tlie undertaker ho* b■■ ii kind of cro-s lately üboul tho $:Ui 1 owe him vt, and 1 can’t SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1887. expect the woman that nurse;! her to waif forever, and I went and bousbt tfinee >nnk pearls, for l do Ike if look nice evenings, and so mew a; it doesn’t seem as if I could pay tverv thing !” "1 should think not, Indeed!

New Your, Feb. s.—Dr. Talmage Is n good story teller. He has a high regard lor the discreet men oi the profession and plenty of chanty for those who are in clined to be convivial. He appreciates a good joke, no matter at whose expense i t may be, and he told me an amusing ston about his experience with a Philadelphia reporter, tasked permission to print it. Mr. Talmage said; “Twenty years ago I was a young preacher occupying a pulpit in Philadel phia. One t-uudav night, alter service, I was sitting in my study when there wa a knock at the door. I cried ‘Come in.’ and a reporter entered. That be had been drinking 1 cou'd see at a glance. He was profusely and verbosely polite and apo ogiz‘-d for Ins presence lirst anil afterward of his lateness. He wanted my sermon, must have it, be sad. o> wou’d get into great trouble. 1 Cud him 1 had no notes and he said I could easilj dictate it to him as he was a rapid writer l gave nlm a seat at a table and he wrnte at my dictation. His potations must have been recent, for when he rost Torn the table with a column and a hall of my sermon in notes he was much more intoxicated than when he came n. ills legs refused to pertoi m their office with any degree ot accuracv, and so 1 helped him up. My study was in the rear of ;bt churen and the only egress to the street was bv meahs ot an alley between lhe church and the school-house 'I nis alle l was dark as pilch.and a- 1 helped the re porter out i said to him, ‘Be careful now, pick your way. there’s a pumn in tie alley and von will tall against it.’ Th n 1 s ood in tned orrvay watohin . to sec aim ate y out. He warmer-d ah ng un steadily but safely and disappeared in the darkness, boon I bead a great era-dun aid spluttering, succeeded by sweaitu and a fall. 1 know it is a shame to laugh at a drunken man, but I couldn’t help it. I laughed so heartily that I eouhl not walk a step for two or three minu’es then 1 hastily got a lantern and went ti the re‘cue. 1 found the reporter t win and around tne pump handle and engaged in what looked like a Hie or death struggle with it. He was using baa language. Leaves of notes wefe strewed all about nim. By the light, of the lantern we picked all the notes up, and then I started my visitor out of the gate ami went back to my study. Next morning 1 looked in the paper for niv sermon. It started ot! like this: Dr. Talmage preaching ias evening In church took for bis text John xiv.: 1-2 and said: ’When 1 na Governor ot Pennsylvania’ —i can tell you I stared when I saw tbat. I found -craps of mv sermon mixed in wiih red hot denunciation o! prominent Pennsyl vania politicians, and advice to the Fed eral government and the State author!- lies. I was aghast, and determined to write to toe paper and complain. Lnok inga little further 1 discoveied what pur ported to be an ititervic-v with ex-Gov. Pollock, into that all the missing per ti uis of my sermon bad been put. Then the lull magnitude of the joke burst upon me, and 1 laughed till the tears ran down my face. Somehow the repor ts r had msiuigd to mix the interview with the s-u rnon n equal parts. 1 never wrote to tiie paper, the thine was too good to complain • Sypnwy Kftti iJvoum’.* 3nm vittrto. Oil!
