body else. The ladies became aware of
the situation at once, and bidding them
“good-day," I stepped smilingly out of tilt
carriage. Before I could get away from
the station the man had mustered up
strength sufficient to follow me, and his
apologies were so nauseous and craven,
that I pitied liim from my soul. I left
him with this caution : ‘Before you make
charges against the character of any man
again, about whom you know nothing,
and of whose works you are so utterly
ignorant, study to be a seeker after Truth,
and avoid Lying as you would eternal
perdition.’ ”
“Cannot you prevent it ?’’ asked the
governess.
“No; I am powerless—powerless. He
will wed the tailor's daughter, and dis
grace the great, the aristocratic name of
Pennywise.”

HOW SHE DID IT.
Peter Pennywise was in deep grief.
All the hopes of a life-time were to be
frustrated. The fond ambition ho had so
long nursed, his pet scheme to make the
name of Pennywise the greatest in the
land, was now no more. His only son,
Launcelot, was to be married to a plebeian
—to a girl who had wealth, but no name,
no family, no ancestry, or no coat-of-arms
on the panel of her coach.
Could human misery be greater ? Could
the Ossa of grief piled on the Pelion of
disappointment make a heavier load of
sorrow ? No. The cup of Pennywise
was full to the brim, and he must drain it
to the lees, however bitter the draught.
Such was the tenor of old Pennywise’s
musings as he paced the velvet-carpeted
floor of his library on the evening when our
story opens. A conversation his son had
had with him, as they sat together sip
ping their wine after dinner, had been
the cause of this tumult in the breast of
Peter Pennywise.
Launcelot was a weak-eyed and pink
skinned youth, with thin, yellow hair,
which he parted in the center, and a little
wisp of saffron whisker on each side of
his face, the pulling of which with his
nervous little hand constituted the prin
cipal employment of the scion of the
house of Pennywise.
“Father,” said Launcelot, after gulping
down two or three glasses of wine to
give him courage—“father.”
“Well, my son, what do you want ?”
asked the pompous head of tho house.
“What do you think of marriage?”
“What do I think of what ?" questioned
the surprised Pennywise.
“Marriage,” replied Launcelot. “Mat-
corners of Miss Derr's mouth, and a sa
tirical twinkle in her eye, as Mr. Penny
wise spoke of his aristocratic name.
“Can you not threaten to disinherit
him?” she asked.
No use—no use,” groaned the discon
solate Pennywise. “He has half a million
left to him bv his mothe
“A half a million,” cried Amy, and the
smilo and twinkle faded away, leaving her
face stern and calculating looking. “Mr.
Pennywise, this marriage would be scan
dalous. Listen. I know Miss Petersham
well. In fact, she considers me her inti
mate friend
“My son's wife the intimate friend of a
governess!” sighed Pennywise, regardless
of the feelings of the girl before lum.
“Yes,” replied Amy, not heeding the
insult ; “but she is only a tailor’s daugh
ter.”
“Alas, alas ? too true, too true !" said
the unfortunate Pennywise.
“Mr. Pennywise,” continued Amy, “you
are rich, very rich; and I am poor, very
poor. You regard this marriage a3 a dis
grace to your family. I think I can pre
vent it. What will you give me if I do?”
“My dear Miss Dorr,” cried old Penny
wise, jumping up from his chair, “if you
can prevent my son from marrying the
tailor’s daughter, I will bestow upon you
ten thousand dollars.”
“Tis a bargain," said the governess
“Please ■write a little agreement to this
effect: That as 60on as I give you proof
that Miss Petersham is married to seme
one else than your son, you will pay me
the sum often thousand dollars."
“Married to some one else than my
son ?” said Pennywise, as he was writing
the agreement.
“Yes,” answered Amy. that is my plan.
“I will make her marry a young man I
have in my mind now.”
“But my son will not permit it; he is
fascinated by this tailor's daughter.”
“I will see that he permits it,” the gov
erness said, taking tho agreement Mr.
Pennywise had drawn out and signed.
“My duty is to prevent the marriage with
Miss Petersham.”
“Yes,” said the old man; “do that and I
will bless you."

July 8th, 1874.
A Story of Charles Dickens.
“I chanced to be traveling some years
ago,” he said, “in a railroad carriage be
tween Liverpool and London. Besides
myself there were two ladies and a gen
tleman occupying the carriage. We hap
pened to be all strangers to each other,
but I noticed at once that a clergyman
was of the party. I was occupied with a
ponderous article in the Times, when the
sound of my own name drew my atten
tion to the fact that a conversation was
going forward among the three other
porsons in the carriage with reference to
myself and my books. One of the ladies
was perusing ‘Bleak House,’ then lately
published, and'the clergyman had com
menced a conversation with the ladies by
asking what book they were reading. On
being told the author's name and the ti
tle of the book, he expressed himself
greatly grieved that any lady in England
should be willing to take up the writings
of so vile a character as Charles Dickens.
Both the ladies showed great surprise at
the low estimate tho clergyman pnt upon
an author whom they had been accustom
ed to read, to say the least, with a cer
tain degree of pleasure. They were evi
dently much shocked at what tho man
said of tho immoral tendency of these
books, which they seem never before to
have suspected; but when he attacked the
author's private character and told mon
strous stories of his immoralities in every
direction, the volume was shut up and
consigned to the dark pockets of a trav-
eling-bag. I listened in wonder, and as
tonishment, behind my newspaper, to
stories of myself, which, if they had been
true, would have consigned any man to a
prison for life. After my fictitious bio
grapher had occupied himself for nearly
asd hour with the eloquent recital of my
delinquencies and crimes, I very quietly
joined in the conversation. Of course I
began by modestly doubting some state
ments which I bad just heard touching
the author of ‘Bleak House,’ and other
unimportant works of a similar character.
The man stared at me, and evidently con
sidered my appearance on the con versa
tional stage an intrusion and an impeti-
nence.
“ ‘Yon seem to speak,' I said, ‘from per
sonal knowledge of Mr. Dickens. Are
you acquainted with him ?’
“He rather evaded the question, but,
but a single thought, two souls that beat
as one, and all that.”
“I think that every man should marry,
and I would be glad to hear that you had
fixed your affections on some lady with
the proper qualifications,” said Penny
wise.
“"What are the proper qualifications,
father ?” inquired Launcelot.
“Family,” replied the father—“family.
Whatever else you do, be sure to never
disgrace the name of Pennywise by a
plebeian connection.
“Why, is our family such a very great
one?” demanded the young man.
“A great one!” echoed Pennywise.
“Why, it’s the

delight, absented herself entirely from
her pupils; and she might have been seon
an}’ afternoon walking arm in aim with
the lovely Miss Petersham.
During these walks, somehow, Mr.
Charley Gushington invariably met tho
two ladies, and joined them in their walk
—nor did he seem to regard these meet
ings as at all unexpected. The fact was
that the wily governess had introduced
Mr. Gushington to Miss Petersham, and
was, unknown to them, fanning the flame
that they declared was consuming both
their young hearts.
Three weeks had passed since the r.iglit
greatest in the land. 1 Miss Amy had agreed to prevent the mar-
tho genealogical tree j riage of young Pennywise with Miss
Petersham, when one morning the gov
erness presented herself to the clerks in
the office of Mr. Pennywise, and asked
Pennywise was as well-known as that of j to see that gentleman. She was ushered
Williams at the time of the Norman
conquest, and that the coat-of-anns is one
of the most respectable and ancient that
ever heraldry boasted of.”
“Well, of course that’s all true, father;
but I've heard some of the fellers at the
club say that grandfather was a pawn—”
“Your grandfather was a broker and
banker, as I myself am, and was fully
aware of the responsibility of being wor
thy of his family,” said Mr. Pennywise,
interrupting his son; “therefore he began
my education by impressing the value of
a family name upon my young mind, and
so when I had grown older, and he in
timated to me that I ought to marry the
highly respectable Miss Poundfoolish, I
went "to that lady, proposed, and was ac
cepted. Thus I consolidated the two
great families of Pennywise and Pound*
foolish, and you and your two sisters are
the resnlt. But you ask my opinion of
matrimony. Are you thinking of marry
ing?"
“Ye-es, sir,” gasped Launcelot.
“And whom do yon propose honoring
with your name?”
“Miss—a—Miss Petersham,” answered
the youthful Pennywise.
“Petersham—Petei'sham; I never heard
of a Petersham. Who is she?” demanded
the old gentleman, with a darkening brow.
“She is very rich.”
And Launce faltered.
“Riches are very well, but yon do not
need them. Your mother left you all her
fortune, and I shall leave you half of mine
if you marry as I wish. W ho is tliis—this
Peteasham? Wliat does her father do?"
“He keeps a large clothing establish
ment.”
“What!” roared Pennywise. “A tailor!
It shall not be The arms of Pennywise
shall never be marred with a needle, or
disfigured by—great Heaven!—a goose.
It shall never be—never—never!”
■It must be,” said Launcelot, going to
the door, “cause I've popped, and she,s
accepted me.”
The old man mechanically arose, and
walked to his study, where he began pac
ing the floor, as we found him at the com
mencement of our story.
A gentle knock on the library door
roused Mr. Pennywise, and bidding the
knocker come in, he settled himself in his
easy-chair, and prepared to receive liis
visitor.
The visitor proved to be the governess
of the two Misses Penneywise, aged
twelve and fourteen, whose disorderly
conduct and willful destruction of ward
robe and text-books occasioned many a
visit to the library after the dinner hour
by tbo governess.
She was a neat, pretty little body, this

followmg him up c ose y, comp 1 tention of the young bloods who came to
to say that he had been talking, not from “ git Jjmaed J t} b * t she paid not the
his own knowledge of the author in ques
tion, but he said he knew for a certainty
that every statement he had made was a
true one. I then became more earnest in
my inquiries for proofs, which he arro
gantly declined giving.
“The ladies sat by in silence, listening
intently to what was going forward. An
author they had been accustomed to read
for amusement had been traduced for the
first time in their hearing, and they were
waiting to learn what I had to say in re
futation of the clergyman’s charges. I
was taking up his vile stories one by one,
and stamping them as false in every par
ticular, when the man grew furious and
asked me if I knew Dickens personally.
“I replied, ‘perfectly well; no man
• knows him better than I do, and all your
stories about him, from beginning to end,
to these ladies, are unmitigated lies.’
“The man became livid with rage, and
asked for my card.
“ ‘You shall have it,’ I said coolly, and
taking out one, I presented it to him
without bowing.
“We were just then nearing the station
in London, so that I was spared a longer
interview with my truthful companion;

“Launce, that governess gal—what’s

heart. The only thing she could love
would be more pupils, or plenty of mon

“Good evening, Miss Dorr,’ said Penny
wise, when Amy had entered the library;
“What can I do for you this evening?’,
‘Excuse me, sir,” said Amy, hesitating
ly “I wished to see you about my pupils,
but I can see you are grieved and agita
ted, and, as I fancy I know the cause of
your agitation, I will not annoy you with
my commonplace complaints.”
You know the cause!” gasped Penny
wise.
Yes, sir. I have no wish to intrude
my opinions or my knowledge, but the
cause of your grief is, I imagine, the
approaching marriage of your son, and I
think he is acting most foolishly.”
“You are right, Miss Dorr,” asserted
the old gentleman—“you are right. He
is acting most foolishly—most fool
ishly.”
into a private office, where she found the
aristocratic Pennywise very much sur
prised at his visitor.
“To what good fortune am I indebted
for this visit?” he asked, wheeling around
from his desk.
“To the best of fortune,” answere4 the
governess. “Please read this advertise*
ment that I am going to insert in to-mor
row morning’s papers," and she handed
him a slip of paper, on which ho read the
following:
“Gcshixoton-Peteksham.—On the 17th
inst., at Grace Church, by the Rev. Jere
miah Waller, D. D., S. T. D., Mr Charles
Gushington to Emeline, eldest daughter
of Jacob Petersham, Esq., all of this city.
No cards. ”
“My dear Miss Dorr,” said Pennywise,
jumping up from his chair, “you have
saved the family—yon have done won*
ders! I owe you a debt of gratitude I
can never pay."
“Well, here is a debt you owe mo that
you can pay," said Amy, producing the
agreement." “I will thank you for ten
thousand dollars in greenbacks. I don’t
want a check—I want the money.’
“My dear Miss Dorr,” said the banker,
‘if it took my last dollar, I would not
repudiate your claim.”
And, drawing a check for the amount,
he called a messenger, and bade him go
to the bank and get ten one thousand
dollar notes. After the messenger had
departed on his errand, the old gentle
man turned to the governess, and said :
“How did my son bear the news that
Miss Petersham was false to him ? Thank
Heaven, my family will not now be dis*
graced!”
•‘When first he discovered that Miss
Petersham was receiving attentions from
Mr. Gushington, he threatened to com
mit suicide; but I finally induced him to
listen to reason, and he attended the cere
mony last night.”
“But how did you effect this alteration
in him? Yon are a witch, or, I should
say, a good fairy. How did you manage
to do it ?”
“Will the boy be long at the bank ?”
asked the governess.
“No, he is here now. I see you want
your money before you give your infor
mation; quite right. Well, there it is.
And he handed her the money.
Miss Amy walked tothejother end of the
room, and placed the money safe in her
bosom. Then turning to Mr. Pennywise,
she 6aid:
“Mr. Pennywise, you ask me how I ob
tained your',son’a consent to the marriage
between Mr. Gushington and Miss Peter
sham.”
“And saved my son fr om an alliance
with a woman sociably beneath him,” in
terrupted Mr. Pennywise. “Yon marvel
among women, will you tell me ?”
“I will.”
“How did you do it ?’’
“Well; I married him myself Good
morning, sir."
writes to the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer,
that in the vicinity of the Lime Works
of Yongesboro, he met with Mr. Clapp,
the superintendent, whose crops recalled
the productive fields of Kentucky to a
resident of the blue grass region. Red
clover was growing luxuriantly. It had
received one mowing, and is now about
two feet high. There were several fields
of “German millet” that would soon be
ready to cut, and will make from two and
a-half to three tons of superior hay to the
acre.
“Mr. Clapp was busily engaged in har
vesting a fine crop of cats with a Buck
eye reaping machine, which did its work
rapidly, effectively and satisfactorily. The
negro driver seemed to be as much at
home in operating the machine as he
would have been behind a plow.
“Next came the com crop, and it is the
finest upland com I ever saw. Mr. Clapp
has 75 acres that will make from 40 to 50
bushels per acre, and another portion is
expected to produce CO bushels. This
field is his especial charge, as he wished
to see how much com could be made on
the land. The fanner that cultivated the
land previous made from 5 to 7£ bushels,
and the fields now adjoining will not ex
ceed 10 bushels per arce. The land is
light pine soil, and some portions had
been turned out as worthless. Tho se
cret of Mr. Clapp’s success has been in
deep plowing in the fall, thorough culti
vation, and a judicious application of fer
tilizers composted at home.
•He planted a measured acre in cotton,
which yielded him 513 pounds, lint—a
good yield for poor pine land. He wish
ed to make an experiment of deep plow
ing in the perparation of cotton land,
using four horse plow followed by a sub
soil, breaking the land 14 inches deep.
He, in the presence of others, pulled up
several stalks of cotton, the tap-roots
measuring 13 inches. This proves con-
cluively, to my mind, that deep culture is
the thing, in the first instance, followed
up by a judicious application of home
made fertilizers and thorough cultivation. ”
Although this showing will not com
pare with the yields of some of our friends
of Baltimore county, where they are try
ing for thirty barrels to tho acre, yet
some of the lands of tho latter, like those
of Mr. Clapp, had been turned out as
almost worthless, but good cultivation
and manuring have produced twenty or
more barrels to the acre.

Holmes’ Liniment,
The Fine Forests of Georgia
Among the most valuable resources of
Georgia, and those which of all others can
be made to yield from unskilled labor the
largest profits, are tho products of its
yellow pine forests. These, as yet, have
only been touched on their edges, along
lines within hailing distances of their wa
ter courso and their railroads, but noth
ing whatever has been done towards
reaching the more interior and the best
bodies of timber by improvement made
specially for such purposes.
jg From what is shown, however in the
paragraphs we reproduce from Georgia
papers, we see the beginning of move
ments in the direction of these inviting
virgin fields of wealth, and it needs no
special power of foresight to know what
the results will be to those who lead in
these enterprises, and who have the ad«
vantago of selecting sections and locali
ties which possess all tho most impor
tant requisites for assured success.
Doubtless this first move toward water
lino improvements, lately authorized by a
purchase from the State, through the
piney woods of Southern Georgia, will be
made to cover the most extensive and
most cheaply available body of virgin tim
ber in the South. The -pecuiliar advan
tages of the section mentioned in the ar
ticles from which we quote, are not, in
all probability, elsewhere to be found
over so large an area of country. Yet, as
there are others of these level and uncall
ed sections, in tracks of sufficient size to
warrant similar, though shorter, works,
we clearly Bee in this pioneer enterprise
only the beginning of many such cheap
water line improvements to open large
and now out of the way bodies of the
superior timber to shipping points on
both the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico,
and hence large incomes to those who are
fortunate enough to control them.
Besides the charter lately granted by
the State of Georgia to Gen. Johnston
and Col. Raiford, to penetrate, in the way
proposed, the wide forest of the Okee-
finkee plain, there is also another author
ized organization in the same State in the
interest of its rapidly augmenting lumber
trade. “The Georgia Land and Lumber
Company,” of which the Hon. Wm. E.
Dodge, one of the eminent and wealthy
merchant princes of this city, is the pm
cipal stockholder, holds in one body, a-
bout a hundred miles north of the Okee-
finkee plains from four to five hundred
thousand acres of yellow pine lands, and
has already expended, in 'laying the foun
dation of "an immense lumber business
and that of a prosperous young city, East
man, on the line of the Brunswick and
Macon Railroad, as its centre, over a milk
ion and a half of dollars.
The continually increasing lumber and
timber demand, stimulated within the
past few years by the construction of rail
roads in our own and foreign countries,
will require an annually increasing. sup
ply that no one now can well anticipate.
Evidently before long some other ma
terial than the best products of our for
ests must be used in the heavier construe
tions of railroad work, or else their val
ues will run into ruinous prices and our
railroad owners be forced to enhance their
charges to keep them in running order.—

It is said that several negroes are en
gaged in hawking the Kimball petition
around Atlanta for signatures. The
“prominent” colored men will doubtless
be glad to testify to Kimball’s virtuous
course.
Abrams ought to come out and say
that he wrote a half dozen biographies of
Foster Blodgett This would doubtless
clear the skirts of those who endorse
Kimball.
The negro revival at Quitman is still
going on. By the by, wouldn’t this be a
good point to fish for signatures to the
Kimball petition.
We have often advanced arguments to
show why the capitol of Georgia should
be removed to Milledgeville. None, how
ever, were as conclusive as the fact that
there can be found in the city of Atlanta
two thousand “prominent” citizens who
deliberately endorse a thief like Kimball.
Clinch county has 6,649 acres in corn
•nd 2,243 in cotton, In addition to this,
there is not a white man in the county
who would endorse Hi Kimball,
