She Bachelor’s Surprise.
A chill December evening, with the
rain and snow forming a disagreeable
sort of conglomeration on the sidewalks,
the gas-lamps at the comers flickering
sullenly through the mist, and the wind
taking one viciously as one came round
the comer. Not a pleasant evening to
assume possession of a new home; but
necessity knows no law, and Mr. Barkdale
put up his night-key into the red-brick
rouse in the middle of the block, sincerely
hoping that his new landlady would have
common sense to light a fire in the grate.
“Is it you sir?” Mrs. Hinman quoth,
beamingly. “There's a good fire, and
it's all right”
“All right eh ?” said the bachelor, feel
ing the blue tip of his frosted nose, to
see whether it had escaped being frozen
off entirely.
“Well, I am glad to hear that. Have
the trunks come?”
“Oh, yes, sir! and the other things.”
“What other things 1” demanded Mr.
Barkdale.
But Mrs. Hinman pursed her lips up.
“I wasn’t to tell, sir, please.’
“Rather an eccentric old lady,” thought
Mr. Barkdale, pushing past her to the
third story front room, which he had
solemnly engaged the day bofore.
It had been rather a dark and dingy
little den by the light of the moon; but
now, softened by the coral shine of a well-
filled grate, it wore quite another and a
brighter aspect
“Velvet paper on the walls, gilt panel
ling, red carpet, and a Sleepy-Hollow
chair,” thought Mr. Barkdale, glancing
around.
“Not so uncomfortable, after all. When
I get my things unpacked, it will seem
quite homelike.”
He sat down his valise in the comer,
deliberately opened it, took out a pair of
slippers, and invested his tired feet there
in. Next he laid off his overcoat
“Now for a cigar,’ thought he.
But the brown-layered weed was yet in
his hand, when there was a bustle, and a
flutter, and a whisper, and a merry noise
on the landing outside, and the door flew
open, as if by magic, to admit half a
dozen blooming laughing girls.
Mr. Barkdale dropped his cigar, and
retreated a step or two.
Don’t be alarmed,” said the tallest
and prettiest of the bevy; “it’s only a
surprise.”
A very agreeable one, I’m sure,” said
our friend, recovering in some degree his
presence of mind.
There’s no mistake, I hope,” said a
yellow tressed blonde. “Your name is
not Gfceenfield ?"
“No mistake at all, I assure you,” said
Mr. Barkdale. “Of course it is not Green
field. Sit down, ladies.”
And he pushed forward the Sleepy-
Hollow chair, a camp-stool, and two
rheumatic reception chairs, which were
all the accommodations presented by his
apartment But instead of accepting
this courtesy, the girls all fluttered out
again, giggling, and in a second, before
he could realize this strange condition of
affairs, they were back again, bouquets, a
pyramid of maccaroons, piled up plates
of sandwiches, of frosted cake, and a
mysterious something like unto an ices
cream freezer.
The golden tressed girl clapped her
hands.
‘You needn’t think we are doing all
this for you, sir,” she said.
“Oh!” said Mr. Barkdale, bashfully,
I—I—hadn’t any such impression.”
“It’s all a surprise designed for Kate’s
cousin.”
Ts it ?” said Mr. Barkdale, more in the
dark than ever.
And how do yon suppose we found it
all out?” demanded the tall girl with
the black eyes and 6carlet feather in her
hat.
“I haven’t the least idea.”
“We found your letter to Kate, and we
girls read it, and we resolved to take yon
and her both by surprise. She is to be
here in half an hour. Barbary—that is
Barbara Morris, in the blue merino dress,”
with a turn of her long lashes toword the
golden-haired girl, “pretends she has
moved here, and Kate is to come and
spend the evening with Barbara. Won’t
it be a joke ?”
“Stupendous ?” said our hero, gradually
beginning to comprehend the foci that he
was mistaken for some one else.
“What will Kate say when she sees you
here?” ejaculated another maid, merris
fy-
“Ah 1 what, indeed ?’’ said Mr. Bark
dale, wondering in what words he could
best explain matters.
“Of course we shall all look the other
way while you are kissing and hugging
her,” said Miss Barbara, demurely.
“Very considerate of yon, I am sure,"
observed Mr. Barkdale.
“She’s the sweetest girl in New York,”
exclaimed the tall damsel enthusiastically.
*1 am one of her dearest friends. We
work oar sewing machine side by side at
Madame Grillard’s. Hasn't she ever
written to you about Alice Moore?”
“I—I don’t just this moment recall
that she has.”
“Oh, well, it doesn’t matter," said Alice.
Just you sit down, and be a good boy,
while we fix the tables. Aren’t those
rose* beautiful ? My goodness gracious,
how astonished Kate will be!”
“She can't be more so than I am," said
Mr. Barkdale, sinking into the Sleepy-
Hollow chair, and passing his handker*
chief vigorously across his forehead.
“Well, it’s a mere matter of fate; I can’t
see how I am to explain myself ; and yet,
perhaps, I ought to explain. Ladies—
“Hush-sh-sh-sh,” cried the six pretty
girls, all in a hissing chorus: “Kate s
coming; Bessie has brought her. Hush-
sh-sh 1 Don’t say a word, Mr. Greenfield."
The golden-haired girl’s hand was clapped
“Come and kiss him, Kate," cried all
the others, “Now, don’t be ridiculous,
for we shan't take any notice. Here
is.”
“Kiss who ?" cried Kate, standing still
and staring all around her. “Girls, what
on earth do you mean ?’’
“You provoking thing!” exclaimed
Barraba, stamping her little foot “Do
you suppose we are all fools ? Why, of
course, we know all about him ! It’s Mr.
Greenfield—your cousin, Kate—the young
M. D."
Kate looked around in bewildormenb
“Where ?”
“Why, here.”
“Nothing of the sort!” said Miss Kate,
demurely.
Our hero stood up, feeling himself
growing uncomfortably warm and red.
“Ladies,” he said, “there’s some mis
take here. I said at the outset that my
name was not Greenfield.”
“There I” cried the girls at once,
“There!” echoed Kate, defiantly.
“Didn’t we tell you?” cried the girls.
“Didn’t I tell you?" retorted Kate.
“Be kind enough to let ns know what
your name is, sir ?”
“Cephas Barkdale,” said the wretched
victim of a misunderstanding.
But,” said Miss Moore, “you said it
was Nott Greenfield.”
“Of course I did!" said the puzzled
bachelor, “It isn’t Greenfield, and it
never will be unless I have it changed by
act of legislature.”
“O-h-h!" exclaimed the girls. “Dear,
dear, to be sure I And we thought you
were Kate’s lover—and his name is N-o
double-t—Nott Greenfield.”
“Do hold your tonguep, you ridiculous
things!" said Kate, half vexed, half laugh
ing.
What must Mr. Barkdale think of us
all!”
“I think you are very nice," said Mr
Barkdale, gallantly.
Miss Barbara in the mean time had
taken a slip of paper out of her pocket.
She uttered a hysterical shriek.
“It's all my fault!” she exclaimed. “It
was No. 39 instead of No. 36—and the
tail of the hrorid figure’s turned the
wrong end up—that’s all. And the cake,
and the flowers, and everything.”
Stop, ladies, if you please,” said Mr.
Barkdale, courteously. “Because the
surprise has come to the wrong place is
no reason why the right person should
not enjoy it. Allow me to give up this
room to your use this evening. I will
just step across the street and send Mr.
Nott Greenfield over.
“But you must return with him,”
the girls.
And Mr. Barkdale was not aJ<
depart until he had promised...
Mr. Nott Greenfield—a good-
medical student, who had

cream, and coaxed Miss Barbara to pin a

“I’d like to be surprised like ti.. m ®^ er
night in the year,” said he.
“Oh, you greedy creature!” said Miss
Barbara.
“But there was one time I seriously
meditated throwing myself out of the win
dow,” said he, “when you told me I was
to kiss Kate.”
“Dear, dear!” said Barbara, ironically;
“that would have dreadful, wouldn’t it?”
“But the awkwardness of the thing.”
“I dare say yon never kissed a pretty
girl,” pouted the blonde.
“I never did," said the bachelor, grow
ing bold; “but I will now, if you say so.”
“But I don't say so," said Barbara,
coloring and laughing. “Behave your
self, sir?”
Mr. Barkdale went home with the fair
Barbara and they grew to be very great
friends, and—where's the use trying to
conceal how it all ended? They were mar
ried at the year's end, with all tbe six
suxprisers for bridesmaids, Kate Kell-
ford included. Mr. Nott Greenfield pro-
oses to follow the example as soon as
o gets his diploma.
Talk With the Bark On.—We find
the following in the Eatonton Messen
ger:
It is well that the 2,000 or 1,200, or
whatever was the number, that signed
the petition in favor of Kimball, are not
Atlanta. It is fortunately for tax-payers
that Atlanta is not Georgia. That there
is something very rotten in that Den e
mark no one who reads the papers ean
doubt. This has always been the case,
and we begin to fear that it always will
be so, though occasionally, during the
past few years, we have hoped that mat
tors would improve. We have been iti«
posed to bo proud of Atlanta, as a Geor
gia town, in spite of the bad men who
live there—proud of her pluck, energy,
enterprise; but there has nearly always
been something to mar our pleasure in
thinking of the Gate City; and we repeat
wo begin to fear it will always be thus. It
is right that the men who endorse Kim
ball should be told—as they have been—
by the press over the whole State, that
they are heaping up for themselves moun
tains of indignation. The people of Geor
gia are surprised, mortified, outraged, and
very angry. Atlanta cannot continue to
be the capital, if tilings go on at this
rate. If the Legislature were in session
to day, with the present condition of
public sentiment, the amendment to the
constitution, offered by the member
from Baldwin would come a great deal
nearer passing than it did last winter.
If however, these Kimballites shall fail
to take warning; it will be but another
illustration of the old adage that we
have placed at the head of this article-
one more proof that, “Whom the gods
wish to destroy they first make mad.”

Ancient Bath*.
The system of public baths among
the nations of antiquity never has been
and, probably, never Will be, equalled.
It originated with the Greeks and was
carried by the Romans to the highest
degree of splendor and luxnry. They
were the grandest constructions of the
kind in design and embellishment that
architectural genius ever created. Their
vastness and grandeur of conception was
only to be paralleled by the elaborate gor
geousness and finished perfection of all
their parts and details. They were the
baths of the emperors, emulons of secur
ing public favor and perpetuating their
fame by the construction of architectural
wonders worthy of Rome, the mistress
of the world. Cameron, after Palladid,
gives plans of the principal of these monu
ments of genius and imperial munificence.
Nothing could surpass the boldness and
richness of the bas-reliefs and pictures
which adorned the walls and ceilings, or
excel the exquirite purity of taste with
which their massive decorations har
monized. The rarest marbles, precious
vases, unique bronzes, the most elegant
columns, and the richest conceptions of
sculptural genius, with the gildings and
pictorial embellishments of the first ar
tiste, all contributed to decorate the inter
iors of these palatial structures.
Bnnyan’s Wife.
A correspondent of an English paper
expresses the opinion that while honors
are paid to the memory of Bunyan, some
mention ought to be had of his heroic
wife, who used persistent efforts to pro
cure her husband’s release from jail. He
says. “Three times she madejthe attempt,
twice to Lord Chief Hale, and nothing
could daunt her; sha would obtain a hear
ing. This young woman, withont a crea
ture to befriend or sustain her, entered
the court-room and stood before the
judges. She addressed herself with a
trembling heart directly to Lord Chief
Justice Hale who wore in his conn ten
once so dearly the lines of that gentleness
and goodness for which he was illustrious
How eloquently does she plead on her
husband’s behalf! “My lord, I make bold
to come onoe again to your lordship to
know what may be done to my husband.
He is kept unlawfully in prison. They
>ed him up before there were any
proclamations against the meetings. He
desires to live peaceably, and to follow
his calling, that his family may be main
tained; and moreover, my lord, I have
four small children that cannot help them
selves, and have nothing to live on but
charily of good people; and because my
husband is a tinker and a poor man,
therefore he is despised and can not have
justice done him. He dare. not leave
preaching as long as he can speak. He
preacheth nothing but the WoA of God,
who hath owned him and donenrach good
by him.* ”
A Brooklyn young woman, who aban
