It was in the year IS54. My Insist- lord’s daugliter superintended the cul inary department. She also superin tended my affections. We were to hitch on the 12th of September. I had attended the eoinmeuceiiieut at LaGrange; had been absent fourteen days—a century to fond, impatient lovers. The stage brought me home about sunset, .Inly Dili. She met me on the verandah, put both of her dap per little hands in mine, looked melt- inglv in my eyes aud rattled oil’ the story of her impatience to see me ami tile eossip of the neighborhood in double quick time. That concluded, she pulled from me gtcntly, remark ing. “1 must go look after the cook ing. What do von want for supper?'" ••Nothing for supper,” I replied, “lull one sweet kiss.” Protruding her beautiful lips and pushing towards me her charming face she observed. “Supper’s ready.” She heard I told about it and site calcitratcd. Always when they wanted to dispose of me they pretended they had heard some thing. One young lanv told me the reason that induced her to break off her engagement to marry me was be cause she "heard from reliable au thority” that I had taken to sucking my thumb. Reliable authority ! Ev erybody gets news from reliable au thority, and niv own opinion is that Reliable Authority is a monstrous liar. I am not yet altogether through with my courting experience.

Everything was mystery and miraele, tin- most amazing to Mr. Greeny. Altera white the showman accidentally stuck lire to a keg of powder, wliidi lore oil’ l lie roof of the house and killed nearly every person in il. Greeny picked himself lip just outside of the body of the building, badly bruised hut game to the bot tom. Believing ail this was a part ot tho show lie started hack to see it oil', remarking as he rubbed his tortured body. “I wonder what (lie it—II they're a gwinc to show next.” That', my fix. They may blow me up lint I'il eomc down ; they may push me oil' hut I'll scrougc hack, and do what they may they cannot deprive me of the gloomy satisfaction of watching to sec what “they’re a gwinc to show next,” in contravention of my happi ness. '*Tbt time I've lost in wooing. In watching aud pursuing. The light that lies in woman’s ejes Has heeu injr heart’s undoing. Thongh wisdom oft has sought me. I’ve shunned the lore she brought me; My only hooks were woman’s looks, And folly’s all they’ve taught me.” An apology might he necessary for the prominent position I have given inyself in this letter lint for the fad iial I claim only to he a representa tive man. Surely no person would accuse Honivard of egotism in relat- thc horrors he endured in the dungeon at Chiilon. The prison and the horrors arc the active agencies, the man is only a passive, automatic receptacle of their forces. That's inv fix. If this section continues ncwslcss 1 think I will give your renders a few dots on insectology, beginning will, gnats and mosquitoes. By the way, isn't it a strange entomological fad that none but the females of these two insects ever bite. No hints. I have jnst read Dr. Tucker’s late brochure, “The Position of Baptism.” It is the ablest document that has emanated from tiie press of Georgia during the present decade. As the Doclor discusses only the necessity, and not the inode of baptism, lie does not positively collide wi'li other sec tarian vehicles, though the wheels rub together pretty roughly in some places. The Doctor's private opinion, however, is that the ordinance can only he canonically administered with copious quantities of tho wettest kind of water. That’s my fix. X. Strozer, t’arv E.

EditorI Xcies: Tiie sad news of the death of this good man, whom I knew but to love, which you gave last week, was as unexpected as it was distressing. lie was nt the me ridian of life, seemingly, and before him wns the prospects of an old age of happiness and eminent usefulness. But alas! the gifted man of God is taken from ns. JIU homo was in Ileplizibah, Richmond county, but so extensive was his inllucnce for good, and so active was lie in advancing all the enterprises of his denomination, that lie really belonged to ail who name the name of Christ. He was above medium in size, hut not corpulent enough to suggest the disease apoplexy, which caused his very sudden death. Ho was one of llie most commanding men in person al appearance I ctcr knew, and every feature of his hnndsomo face was rendered more attractive by Hie in dication of the spirit within him which it gave. He was one of the leading spirits in tiie Georgia Bap tist Convention, being regular in his attendance of its annual meetings, and always placed by Dr. V. H. Moll, the celebrated pnrliamcntorian, the president of the Convention, on the committees where wisdom anil good judgment wore demanded. He was an alumnus of Mercer University, and made the speech before tho Alumni Society at its last session in June. It was by alt odds the finest address of the kind the writer ever heard. It was a masterly plea for tho moral, combined with the menial and phys ical, in education. Mr. Davis belonged to a family cel ebrated for its ministers. One of Ids uncles, Rev. Jonathan Davis, in Id day wns acknowledged ns a leader and was chosen in the heat of the slavery controversy to represent his denomination in a series of speeches at the North, and right well did lie acquit himself. My departed friend and brother ha* many friends and relations among your renders, who will agree with me that I have not said half that could lie written truth lo the praise of Ids splendid character. May God raise up others to emulate Ids noble example, mid may the God of tin* widow and fulh- erless comfort his bereaved family. it. T. Hanks. Albany, Gil, Sept. IMt, I87II. There will he live .Sundays in next February. This will not occur again for forty years. New Y iew of State .Rights. The New York Nation is a conser vative Radical weekly of the most dignified character, and in discussing the doctrine of State rights, it pre sents these thoughtful arguments: If it was Slate rights which facili tated and stimulated tiie slave-hold ers’ rebellion, it was also State rights which supplied tlic means by which it was put down. Tiie working of the Constitution since 1780 lias to lie judged by the condition and resour ces of Hie North, as by the fanaticism of tiie South, lt was tlic liahit of lo cal self-government; the pride of tiie individual States, the efficiency, capa- itv and self-reliance of the State Governments, which placed at tiie command of the Federal Government tiie vast natural resources and the undaunted and patient courage by which the secessionists were foiled.— It was a common and sometimes amusing boast of tho North during the war, that tiie rebellion “was tiie greatest rebellion tiie world ever sawand so it was, and people who keep one shut have been disposed to conclude ever since that whatever produced so big a rebellion must be wholly bad. They forget tiie prob ability, which may be fairly deduced from the experience of mankind, that with such a rebellion the kind of government some of them would fain see in YVashington, with a strongman nt the helm” and United Sd- sMar- shals protecting United S .cs citi zens everywhere in all their rights, could never have dealt. A commu nity which has taken refuge in the breeches pocket of a Dictator, or nn omnipotent Parliament, has ncrcryct h id much success in putting doivn great rebellion fact, the rebel lion, so far fro.n demonstrating the danger of State rights, was a trium phant vindication of the wisdom of a constitutional division of autliority and the value of local sovereignty. And yet those “latter day saints” U. B. Hayes, Itoscoc Coukling, J. G. Blaine and Zachariah Chandler con tinue to iiowl against “tiie abomina ble licrosy of State Rights.” Grant Still a Candidate. New York Sun.J Grant is not out of tlic field. Un til tlic republican convention lias met and nominated a candidate for presi dent, and until Hint candidate lias written his letter of acceptance, lie will not be out of the field. He lias billed himself upon Hie people for tlic remainder of his life. He would ac cept any nomination that promised to elect him. If lie believed that the democratic party stood n good chance to carry the election, lie, a republican now, would nrrept the democratic nomination in 1880 ns unhesitatingly ns lie, a democrat, accepted the re publican nomination in 1880. Ollier cntidiilnlcs for the republican nomi nation will do well to lienr tliis in mind. And I lie people will do well to bear it. in mind. E. C.

Tiie infla tion of dress lias been arrested in its development and the ladies are not to wear hoops jnst yet, dispite all the predictions.

Inexpensive shilling calicoes conic this season in the beautiful patterns formerly seen only iu French chintz calicoes. They arc of excellent de signs and colors and wash well. Tiie prettiest are the dark colors strewn with gray grounds. Jacquard plaid, which looks some thing like the tnrltan or cashmere plaid, is a widely different material. The colors arc so brilliant and tlic contrasts equally great but the effects of broken plaids, dice figures, square broken lines and dashes of vivid col orings makes Hie diflcrcucc. The double-breasted jackets of last Spring are seen this season, thougl so much is said regarding tiie de thronement of the jacket. Long cir culars are shown in Hie stores but are not yet seen on Hie streets. Mantles are still worn for dressy occasions.— Dolmans will continue iu favor. An Infallible Remedy—Fighting the Devil with Fire If there is one thing that more than another annoys a good wife, who is nervously sensitive to all that is gross and illlimcd, it is the habit some husbands have of using profane language in their homes. In many casc9 tliis is mere thoughtlessness on tlic part of tiie good man, who never gives a thought to the finer sensibili ties of his belter-half, and cvcu should she mildly remonstrate, ho pays no attention to the rebuke. YVc have just had a case in point, which happened in one of the thriv ing Xlissouri cities on the banks of the Mississippi, which the ladies of Georgetown should know something about. A lady whose husband was addict ed lo tiie bad practice wo have allu ded to, came to her family physician, laid her grievances before him, and said: “Now, Doctov N , won’t you re monstrate with him, aud try to break him of this habit ? I know he will listen to you.” ‘YVhy, madam,’ said the doctor, ‘he would pay no attention to anything I could say to him; but, as you have come to me, although somewhat out of my llue, I will recommend a pre scription, to bo administered by you, that will certaialy cure him, tt is an infallible remedy.’ ‘Oh, what is it, doctor?’ ‘Well, when John comes home again and swears, do you swear back at him. Of course, I don’t want you to take the name of the Lord in vain, but d—n things a little for his bene fit.’ ‘Doctor, for tiie sake of the final re sult, I’ll do it.’ And she did. The next day John catno iu and in quired whether dinner was roady, and was told it was not. ‘Well, why the d—1 isn’t it?’ said he. ‘Because,’ site coolly replied, ‘the wood was so d—d wet that the fire wouldn’t burn.’ YVhy Mary, what is the matter with you ? Are you crazy, or have yon been drinking?’ ‘Neither,’ she said, and quietly pro ceeded to put on the dinnev. The beef didn’t m fit like butter be tween tho teeth—it rather resisted all efforts at mastication, liko so much indiarubber and finally John blurt ed out: ‘YVhat makes tlic d—d beef so in fcrnal tough ?’ Xlary looked up archly and re plied: ‘YVoll, Jolin, I suppose you went down to the hntchor's and", without knowing the difference, picked out. a piece of some d—d old stag that hadn't been fed for a month.’ John jumped up, looked at his wife ill dismay, and wanted to kuow what such language from her lips mount' ‘It means just this, Jolin; you arc the head of thia family, and just as long as you think it niunly to swear in niv presence, I intend to do the same. If you don’t liko to hear il you know how to prevent it.’ The enro was radical, and to thi date Mary has never been compelled to administer another dose of Dr, N ’s prescription.—Colorado Nti ner. Tlic Hancock Boom. ljiuli»»lnlif-lNinocnit, re|i) YY Asm NO TON, .September 23.—The friends of General Hancock have for soino time been quietly at work to bring him prominently forward as tin; ileinorratiecaiididatefor 1880. Il is proposed by them to establish a Hancock headquarters here immedi ately on Hie reassembling of congress, and lo inaiigerale a “boom,’’ whirli they claim will orcr-sliadow the aspi rations of llie great cypher state-mini of New Y’ork. It is well known llitil General Huneock would find numer ous and strong supporters among the democrats of the soutli, many of whom have already expressed Hiein- Ives as favoring bis nomination.— Notable among these lust is Alexan der H. Stephens, of Georgia, who, only a few weeks ago, declared his preference for Hancock, on tlie grouud tlmt lie was the strongest man lie party could bring forward.— The supporters of tliis movement mve been actively engaged for some weeks in collecting the many inter views with southern politicians and members of congress Hint have ap peared n Hie newspapers, aud in which dissatisfaction anil disgust, was expressed at tho prospect ol il.'en s reiiomiiiiilioii. These arc to lie grimed in pamphlet form and cir culated over tiie country, and espec ially in Hu* south. Tiie friends oi the proposed new candidate expect to race ve ,a strong support from the south and west, and claim that llie} already have such assurance fro !i both these sections as will render il impossible for Mr. Tildcnnnd his ad herents to capture llie next national democratic convention and again fo » himsclt upon tlic party for tlic strug gle of 1880.

Grain, too. brings money to the farmer just when lie needs it—ill tiie middle of tho summer, YVliat fanner, who sold his grain last summer, did not make money? And what farmer who, as soon ns ho threshes his grain anil sells it, will not do it again ? lt is anotb er mistake lo raise grain and keep it for the weevils. Sell it as soon as gathered in summer, when it com mands a high price, and buy flour froin the mills, ami farmers will make money without risk. All the cereal, arc now looking to the ground, and the sooner laid under the sod the better for next year’s crop and for the luckv farmers. Oats, wheat and other grain, and a larger quantity ot each, are now in order for the "fall sowing. The XIost Extensive Bee Farm in the World. Near the village of Bceton, Onta rio, Canada, there isaheefarm which is probably one of the most extensive and successful things of tiie kind in the world. It consists of four bee- yards situate at the angles of a square which embraces several square mile, of country. The current year, so far. Iia9 proved favorable for honey. XI r D. A. Jonc9, the owner, had at tlic end of July already secured 50,000 lbs of honey from 620 stocks of bees.— The hives used arc oblong pine-wood boxes, witli a cubic capacity of 3,240 in., the Inside measure being 15 by 18 by 12. The proprietor expects a total yield for .the year of 70,000 lbs. of honey from ids 19,000,000 little workers, in which case he would net betwoeu $7,009 and $10,000 tor the year’s product, without taking into account the sale of swarms or ot queen bees. H. S. Haines, general superinten dent of the A. and G. railroad, has written a letter in opposition to the railroad bill which has passed the house. Ho shows what capabilities the commissioners should have, and asks would such a man accept such a position with only $2,500 salary ?— Ho also demonstrates that one witli such extraordinary authority would amass more wealth than if he had the whole treasury of the State at his disposal. He thinks the constitution al requirements could be met by a bill providing for the appointment of a board of commissioners composed of three experts, a railroad manager, a lawyer and a business man, who should decide as to whether tiie ta- rifi's established by railroad compa nies were just or not, and to whom should be submitted complaints of unjust discrimination. If such acorn- plaint were, in their opinion, well founded, they should require of the ofiemling corporation redress for the injured person and such change in its tariff as would prevent such unjus'. discrimination thereafter. The cor poration should have the right of up peal to the ordinary courts if it wa, dissatisfied witli the decision of the commissioners. Ever brought lo tliis market, now ready for Inspection.
