Dear Georgian: Some infatuated, po etical fool has gone into reckless raptures over the pleasures and delights of reclining on some mossy, verdant bank—sub vuride arbuto—and gazing by the hour upon the calm expanse of aznre sky, and watching the harmonious blendipg of shade and sun shine, shadow and lialit. tjmong ihe whis pering trees. Ah, fes! i&-pleasant—it’s delightful; and it becomes glorious, trans porting, sublime, when you’ve got to defend every inch of your exposed carcass against the combined attack of a hungry horde of musquitos, gnats, sand-flies and fler.s. Flies, fleas and gnats are had enough, Heaven knows; hut they ain’t a drop in the bucket to the musquitos. Athenians can't appreciate the intense bitterness of this last remark. They don’t know the wily ways of the far-famed handkerchiefs hound with black after the primary elections on the 12th inst. This is probably a canard. . , POLITICAL. • . Everything concerning the Hamburg af fair is quiet on both sides of the river. The Democrats are confident of carrying Edge- field, and with Wade Hampton at the head of their ticket, are ranking frantic efforts to carry the State. May success attend them. -• , A good many Democrats attended the Republican meeting at Edgefield, the other day, “just ont of curiosity.” During the morning, J udge Mackey—a well-known Re publican, who is trying to saddle himself on the Democratic party—mounted on a grey horse, rode by a group of Democrats, amonsj whom was Maj. Garey. “ Mackey,” said Garey, “you’re a blasted old Radical yourself, but you’re riding a Democratic horse, dog-gone you 1” The old Judge wasn’t in the least discon certed. “Yes,” said ho, “Major, I should judge so from his lean ribs and hungry looks, and besides,’’ and his eye twinkled with merriment, “As wears the grey!" Garey closed up. Another incident is related of Gen. M. C. Butler, at. the same meeting. The large platform upon which the delegates and vis itors were seated, all at once gave way, ami precipitated the entire crowd. Each plank seemed to be ripped up separately, AUGUSTA MUSQUITO, That insane, reckless monster, as long, thin, tough, hard and persistent as a pump- handle! Well, they needn’t “ hanker” af ter his acquaintance; it isn’t desirable, and your correspondent having made trial of the species of loafing referred to above, unhesi tatingly pronounces it a stupendous fraud.

WIiitc tlic land is rolling, isn’t real es* tale apt to be rather unsteady? “I wish I was a pudding, mamma.’’ “Why?” “Cause I should have lots of sugar put into me.’’ The engineer who said that his locomo tive ran over and killed 279 mbits iu Ne vada was once elected president of a liar’s club. A New Haven scientist shows that bees have memories.

The question, as the law yer subsequently admitted, was a sign-if-I- can’t one. A skipper of a down East coaster, named the “ Hyena,” was recently asked what his vessel was named after. Iiis honest and sober reply was, “ I don’t know, I expect some great man in Congress.” Wasn’t it rough on Ella, just as she was telling Frederick, at lunch, how ethereal her appetite was, to have the cook bawl out, “Say, will ye haveyerpork and greens or unit till vor feller’s pone?’’ and the only one which remained in its po- j„„ Ultimi ll-no tlnd aka iirwm tvltL.U Dntlnn u«n.s .. v for parlor, kitchen, and drawing room, and was neither papered nor carpets,- introduced her to bis mother, much in the way Clpude Mednotte presents Pauline.

Frank bor- ried them clothes, ma’am,’’ she added to Julia, by way of explanation, “to look smart vthen he went down East.’’ The bridegroom retired on this hint, and soon reappeared in a pair of faded nankeen pantaloons, reaching to about the calf of the ieg, a very shabby black coat, out at the el bows, a ragged block vest, and, instead of his varnished leather boots, a pair of im mense cowhide brogans. “Now,” said he, sitting quietly down by the cooking stove, “ I begin to feel at home. Ah ? this is delightful, isn’t it, dearest ?” and he warbled,— “ Though never bo humble, there’s no place like homo.” Julia’s heart swelled so that she could not utter a single word. “Dearest,” said Frank, “I think you told me you had no objection to srnok- FRAXK HARRALSON, ATTORNEY AT LAW, CLEVELAND, GA. 1 prictlee in tint counties of White, Union, Lmn* Fanning, uiuA the Supreme Court at Will give special attention to all claim* cn- » ii»- enn\ ‘ Au>r.

There is always a feeling of regret wheu we part forever with familiar objects, no matter how humble and unimportant lliey may be. This, however, does not include any parting with a dog in a strange apple orchard. A hundred years ago when you called on a girl she kissed you good-by.

The occasional appearance of a man wearing a duster, with a small demijohn in one hand and a package in the other, con taining a copy of “Songs for the Sanctu- ary,” "and a euchre deck, shows that the camp meeting season has arrived. A young gentleman, who moves in the best society of San Antonio, said the other evening to a young lady, “ The foliage is much more exuberant this year than usual.” “Yes,” she answered, thoughtfully, “all them imported fruits is cheaper than they used to was.” Thompson, of the West Chester Local News, gravely cautions young men against marrying girls who can’t do up shirts. Why didn’t lie continue by advising girls who can’t do up shirts, to marry editors, so that they may never be troubled with such duty ? It was evening. Three of them were killing a cat. One of them held a lantern, another held the cat, and the third jammed the pistol into the cat’s ear, and fired, shooting the man iu the hand who held the cat, and the one with the lantern was wounded in the arm.

The fact is, however, that business is improving, and trade pricks back its ears in eager an ticipation, like a thirsty cart-horse, who, after a hmg pull through the hot sand, sees a branch at the bottom of tho hid. Mer chants are generally hopeful, and look foi-. ward to the autumn with greedy eyes.

An exc.-llent crop of ce reals has been already harvested, and the farmers of Richmond say they have fine stands of cotton, although they have planted comparatively little, the most judicious preferring the “ hog and hominy” system. Fruit, this season, is not doing well, and the yield is small and inferior. Some big worms, with little [teaches attached, have been brought into market, but that’s about all Melons are, of course, a success. They never fail. “ Augusta melons” are cele brated all over the country, from Boston to Omaha. Augusta is becoming nervous and excita ble ; it’s getting really shoddy, and is al most as bad as Atlanta iu that respect. It’s always on the qui vice for a new sensa tion. THAT RELIGIOUS FEVER, Instituted by Messrs. Moody and Whittle, iu April and May, is dying out. Its de crease is very perceptible. Saints are again returning to their sins and follies. Prob ably the warm weather is the immediate cause, though this may seem rather para doxical to'a casual thinktr. Dr. Irvine, the celebrated Presbyterian minister, has gone away for a short time, and his place is occupied by a young theo logical student. Plumber Bryan, a grand son of Dr. Plumber, of Columbia. Mr. Bryan is quite a phenomenon. He is only about twenty years of age, and is said to possess transcendent genius. EDUCATIONAL.

BY FRANCIS A. DURIVAGE. “Tell me, Charley, who is that fascinat ing creature in blue that waltzes so divinely? 1 ’ asked young Frank Belmont of his friend, Charles Hastings, as they stood “ playintr wallflower” for the moment, at a military ball. “Julia Ileathcote,” answered Charles, with a half sigh, “an old of flame mine. I proposed, but she refused me.” “On what ground ?” “Simply because I Imd a comfortable in come. Her head is full of romantic notions and she dreams of nothing but lr ve in a cottage. She contends that proverty is essen tial to happiness—and money is bane.” “ Have you given up all hopes of her ?” “ Entirely ; in fact, I’m engaged.’* “ Then you have no objections to my ad dressing the dear, romatic angel ?” “ None whatever. But I see my fiancee —excuse me—I must walk through the next quadrille with her.” Frank Belmont was a stranger in Boston —a New Yorker—immensely rich and fash ionable, but his reputation had not proceed ed him, and Chnrley Hastiugs was the only man who knew him in England. He pro cured an introduction to the beauty from one of the managers, and soon danced and talked himself into her good graces. In fact, it was a clear case of love at first sight on both sides. The enamoured pair were sitting apart, enjoying a most delightful fete <z/ete» ■ Sud denly Belmont heaved a deep sigh. “ YVhy do you sigh, Mr. Belmont?” ask ed the fair Julia, somewhat pleased with this proof of sensibility. “Is not this a gay scene?’’ “ Alas! yes,’’ replied Belmont, gloomily, “but fate does not permit me to mingle habitu ally in scenes like this. They only make my ordinary life double gloomy—and even here I seem to see the shadow of a fiend waving me away. What right have I to be here ?' 11 What fiend do you allude to ?’ asked Miss Heathcote, with increasing iuterest. “ A fiend hardly presentable in good so ciety,” replied Belmont, bitterly. “One could tolerate a Mephistophiles—a dignified fiend, with his pockets full of money—but my tormentor, inpersonified, would appear with seedy boots and a shocking had hat.” How absurd 1” It is too true,” sighed Belmont, “and the name of this fiend is Proverty 1” Are you poor?” Yes, madame.

The onmmiinltv h/\Y\no “ fprvfll* , > lfl KPniVft ill love, this fiend whispers tome, ‘Beware! you have nothing to offer ner but love in cottage.” ■> “Mr. Belmont,” said Julia, with spark ling eyes, and a voice of nnusunl animation “although there are sordid souls in this world, who only judge of the merits of an individual by his pecuniary possessions, I am not one of that number. I respect poverty; there is something highly poetical about it, and I imagine that, happiness is oftener found in the humble cottage than beneath the palace roof.’’ Belmont appeared enchanted with this encouraging avowal. The next day, alter cautioning his friend Charley to say nothing of actual circumstances, he called on the widow Hekthcote and her fair daughter in the character nf the “ poor gentleman.” The widow had very different notions from her romance offspring, and when Belmont candidly confessed h>s poverty on ■ soliciting permission' to address Julia, he was very politely requested to change the subject, aud never mention it again. The result of all this manoeuvring was an elopement; the belle of the ball jumping out of a chamder window on a shed, and coming down a Bight of steps to reach her Jover,, for the sake of brih^ rdinahtUs, 1 when^sho" 1 mightjWnasw door. ., _ The happy obhple passed a day in New York city, and then Frank took his .belov ed to hi*“coftafce.* iqfnuoaiiw i None in the least,” said the bride; “ I rather like the flavor of a cigar.” “O, a cigar?” replied Belmont; “ that would never do for a poor man.’’ And O horror ? he produced an old clay pipe, and filling it from a little newspaper parcel of tobacco, began to smoke with a keen relish. “ Dinner 1 dinner 1” he exclaimed at length; “ah! thank you, mother; I’m as hungry as a bear. Codfish and potatoes, Julia—not very tempting fare—but what of that? our ailment is love!’’ “ Yes, and by the way of treat,” added the old woman, “I’ve been and gone and brought a wholo pint of Allmny ale, and three cream cakes, from the candv shop next block,” Poor Julia pleaded indisposition, and could not cat a mouthful. Before Belmont, however the.codlish aud potatoes, and the ale, and cream cakes disappeared with a very uuromantic and unloVcr-like velocity. At the close of the meal, a thundering double knock was heard at the door. “ Come in!” cried Belmont. A low browed man, in a green waistcoat, entered. “ Now, Misthcr Belmont,” he exclaimed, in a strong Hibernian accent, “are [ye ready to go to work ? By the powers 1 it I don’t see ye sailed to-morrow on the shop- board, I’ll discharge ye without a character- —and ye shnll starve on the top of that.” “To-morrow morning, Mr. Maloney,” replied Belmont meekly, “ I’ll be at my post.” “ And it’ll he mighty healthy for you to do that same,” replied the man as he retir ed. Belmout, speak—tell me,” gasped Ju lia. “ who is that man—that loafer ?” He is my employer,” answered Belmont smiling. “ And his profession ?” “ He is a tailor.” “ And you ?” “ Am a journeyman tailor, at your service —a laborious and thankless calling it ever was to me—but now, dearest, as I drive the hissiug goose across the smoking seam, I shall think of my own angel and my dear cottage aud be happy.” ' That night Julia retired weeping to her room in the attic. That ’ere counterpin, darter,” said the old woman, “ I worked with these here old hands; ain’t it putty? I hope you’ll sleep well here. There’s a broken paue of glass, but I’ve put one ot Frank’s old hats in it, and I don’t thiuk you'll feel the draught. There used to be a good many rats here, hut I dont think they’ll trouble you now, for Frank's been piziniu’ of ’em.” Left alone, Julia threw herself into a chair, and burst iuto a flood of tears. Even Bel mont had ceased to be attractive in her eyes the stern privations that surrounded her banished all thoughts of love. The realities of life had cured her in one day of her Quix otic notions. Well, Julia, how do you like poverty and love in a cottage ?” asked Belmont, en tering in his bridal dress. “ Not so well, sir, as you seem to like that borrowed suit,” answered the bride, redden ing with vexation. Very well; you shall suffer it no longer. My. carriage awaits your orders at the door. “ Your carriage, indeed 1” “Yes, dearest, it waits but for you, to bear us to Belmont Hall, my lovely villa on the Hudson.” And your mother ?” I .have no mother, alas! The old woman down stairs is an old servant of tho family.” “Then you’ve been deceiving me, Frank —how wicked 1” “It was all done with a good motive. You were not born to endure a life of privation, but to shine the ornament of an elegant and refined circle. I hope you will not love me the less when you learn that I am worth half a million—that’s the melancholy fact, and I cau’t help it. “ O Frank 1” cried the beautiful girl; and hid her face in his bosom.!.. She presided with grace at the elegant festivities of Belmont Hall, and seemed to support her husband’s wealth and luxurious style of living with the greatest fortitude and resignation, never complaining of her com forts, nor murmuring to wish for living in a cottage. hiell stands a good chance to knocr “Hallelujah lick” out of Felton, in thtK enth.
