SATURDAY MORNING Feb. I*. H»#7
[From the Atlanta Era ]
THE DEVIL AND CUPID.
A Ltytud /or St. »«/««(•«.
||T «. K. WATSOJT.
The devil. out walking one very fine day,
!Stuin|H-a along by a brook which dashed
through a meadow,
Where, drowsed by the lauaical, mumuring
OMho ripples, young Loro lay aeleep in
the ehadow,
Slretrbed oat at Dill lougth In a lily e wbito
chalice.
Where he slept like a king in a fairy
gemmed palace. -
Ills qilirer was bursting with arrows jus
made,
His bow hung near by on a honey
flower sUmfen ;
And visions of triumph exnltingly played
O’er his face as he dreamed of some lan
guishing Damon :
And be laughed in his sleep, till one glossy
winged sparrow
Nearly woke, thinking Cupid hod called for
an arrow.
As sly as a fox that would throttle a goose.
As coy as a maid with her lovers around
her,
Nick equeeied from the poppy a drop of its
juice
And sprinkled Lovo’s eye-lids to make
him sleep sounder.
Then, smiliug to soe the gay archer so
stupid,
Proceeded to play the—himself—with Dan
Cupid.
He examined the bow with its gossamer
string
Which both halves of the world had put
in a shiver,
-And twanged the frail chord, just to hear
how 'twouid ring.
Then took from the grass the half-burst
ing quiver,
And—knowiug who did it, it is not sur
prising—
Gave half of the arrows a brimstone bap
tising.
And erer since then a sad havoc is made
When Cupid goes out lor a summer day’s
shooting.
Never dreaming at all what a trick has
been played
On him and the world by the dovil's free
booting.
For half of his arrows are missiles of terror,
And produce, without fail, unaccountable
error.
Now, no longer, alas ! is it truthfully said
That matches are made in the circles of
Heaven,
To a very largo portion, less happily made,
Avery strong flavor of briuntoue is
given.
And, true to the nature of Lucifer matches,
They all arc continually coming to scratches.

~ . ***** department our stock is so large and varied that newspaper enu
merating in detail is impracticable. As our leading
FIRST CLASS COOK STOVE,
WE OFFER THE
“GOOD SAMARITAN”
Which is indicated by the above eut. This Stove we have been selling for six years past,
in every case with PERFECT SATISFACTION to the buyer, and in beauty of design
perfect adaptation to all the requirements of a
PERFECT AND COMPLETE COOK STOVE,
it stands to-day without a rival, as an inspection will convince the most careful exam
iner. Among our other Cook Stoves we enumerate the
“QUEEN OF THE SOUTH,” “MARION,”
“HARVEST QUEEN,” “RED JACKET,” Etc., Etc.
All these are FIRST CLASS STOVES, well known throughout Georgia and South
Carolina, we have nlic> a large variety of medium and second class goods in this line,

PLAIN, PLANISHED, AND JAPANNED TINWARE.

that wo deem special enumeration entirely unnecessary. No pains will bo spared to sus
tain the reputation, in this connection, that has, for sixteen years past, bocu so fully ac
corded us.
MANUFACTURING.—Strict attention will, as heretofore, be given in our EX
TENSIVE WORKSHOPS to everything pertaining to this department of our trade. In
this branch of our business we promise NOTHING NEW. That same punctuality and
care for details that has been a well known characteristic of this House in times past will
be rigidly observed and continued.
TIN ROOFING.—Owing to the general stagnation in mercantile affairs just now,
we shall, MORE THAN EVER, give our closest and most ENERGETIC ATTENTION
to all kinds of
Heavy Out Boors Work
in our line. Our facilities and way of doing things in this connection arc pretty well
known. We GUARANTEE, for any REASONABLE TIME, all work done by us,
and we are pleased to find, as our rapidly increasing pntronuge in this diioetion abun
dantly attests, that the public are beginning to appreciate this guarantee, and to find
that it means JUST WHAT IT CARRIES ON ITS FACE WITHOUT DISCOUNT.
