The Cartersville Exp ress. A WASHERWOMAN'S CHILD. A little Swiss muslin apron, with ruffles, pockets and ribbons, is a very seductive thing, even when tossed with artless care upon the fancy ta ble of a charity fair; but who can paint its magic power upon an unwa ry youth when its fluttering ribbons span a slendor, dainty waist, and the pink-tipped fingers of two plump little hands play at hide and seek in its apologies for pockets? Could a mortal man help stopping to Bpeak to Tinie Blair, as she stood behind the great album of auto graphs, alert and ready to register .subscriptions as fast os they were se cured ? It must have been an apron that made her so radiantly charming, for no other table made such a stoppage in the line of travel, although the hall was lined with tables, temples and stands, covered with baits for the charitable, and presided over by the bpauty and fashion of Offport. Still, in spite of facts, most all the young men did congregate around the table of Time’s. She had shed a small shower of tears when it was condescendingly offered to her, but it was that or nothing, and it would not even have been that if the good rector had not been so obselete in his notions as to suppose the child of a shiftless drunkard, whose widow took in washing, was fit to associate with the daughters of the upright and solid men who sat in the body of the church and solemnly put their regular contributions in the weekly plate; carefully pushing their alms well under, that their five cents need not be known to men. However, having seeu his little parishoner pointedly left out in all the preparations for the ladies’ festi val, he did insist and carried his point, that he should have a position among the fair amateur saleswomen. The richest old woman in the con gregation had donated to the charita ble enterprise a huge collection of stupendously uninteresting auto graphs which were not genuine, but Htteste.d facsimiles of the signatures of every man of note—from Moses to Treasurer Spinner—who had ever oeen rasn enougu to pui> - paper. The amiable first directress of the sewing society was a Talleyrand in petticoats. She brought the two difficulties together, and let one take care of the other ; that is to say, if that iow, odious little creature was to to be forced upon, let her undertake the book, which, of course, would never he disposed of, but which must appear, or the offended donor would promptly remove herself and her fortune to the rival church. After the ecstaoy caused by the dear old rector’s pledge that she should have a share in the delight of waiting at the fair, it was something of a heartbreak when, by request, she presented herself before the com mittee of arrangements, to find her self appointed to a most unenviable position. She might not have known, in her innocence, that it was a station so ab horred, but the ill-concealed mirih of the others at her appointment to it made her aware of the small esteem in which it was held. Then there were other drawbacks, and altogether it was a sad little face that Tinie wore as she swept off the porch of that tumble down cottage that she called home. “.There’s no use trying, she said, as she bent her lovely curly bead lower and lower to keep the tears out of sight. “No use frying to be like girls who have money and nice hou ses, and clothes they’re not ashamed of I declare, if it wasn’t for my mother I’d wish I was dead.” “What did you say, Tinie?” said her mother, looking up from her ironing table “I don’t know; I think I must have been talking to myself,” said the girl, with her forget me-not blue eyes dewy with tears. “But, moth er, after all, I think I won’t go to the fair.” Mrs. Blair finished ironing a collar before she spoke; then with a pleas ant lightning up of her worn face, she said: “If you want to stay at home be cause you have nothing to wear, stop worrying dear, for I’ve thought it all out. I’ll press out my old merino for you—the rustiness won’t show at night—and we’ll cut up your little old white dress and make a fancy apron like one I had here to do up for the young lady that boarded at the hotel iast summer; but we’ll take CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1881. the ribbons off your hat to put on it; you can put them back before Sun day.” A cloud at the Idea if the disrepu table old merino, a momentVdoubt at the possibility of the fancy apron, then a full burst of sunshine at the quick mental picture of her pretty self in the becoming costume for once, and Tinie danced up to hug her mother, with—- “Oh, mamma darling ! What nice things mothers are!” Low as the misery of a drunken hasband had made Mrs. Blair’s posi tion, she was a lady by birth and ed ucation, and had brought up her two children with all the refinement pos sible to all their misfortunes. She was proud of her pretty daughter, and felt most keenly the slightest coldness with which the ladies of Offport treated her. She was glad now that a taste of pleasure seemed to be thrown in her way. But, although the plans are made, not a step could be taken towards their execution till a small basket of clothes could be finished and sent off to the hotel; but they were quick ly done and dispatched by Bobby, Tinie’s small but very wide awake brother, and then both mother and daughter gave every thought and energy to preparing the simple cos tume the latter was to wear. Bobby proceeded on his errand af ter the usual manner of small boys, who have so much business of their own to attend to that it is with diffi culty they can keep their attention fixed on the special one upon which they are sent. He found the young gentlemen to whom he was to deliver the clothes, and, pitying the benighted ignorance of a stranger to the village, kindly spent half an hour of his valuable time enlightening him concerning its affairs, the fair qube naturally com ing in for the largest share of men tion. The handsome young stranger lis tened with flattering attention, and when Bobby was beguiled into giv ing a graphic account of his sister’s social snubbing by the other girls, and told of the meanness which had P°° rest Position to her, ns sym|>dui> guage which, less pious than energet ic, much delighted Bob. Yes, it must have bpen the apron that made Tinie so irresistible that customers hung around her vicinity, apparently unconscious that just op posite a black eyed Rebecca waited to draw lemonade from an unfailing spring for their delectation, or that Flora’s temple, just beyond, was crowded with attendant vestals, ea ger to supply button-hole bouquets at ten cents apiece, and pin them on without extra charge. Even if the strangers came, Tinie thought there would be but a dim prospect of their looking at the pon derous volume she presided over; neither would any one else, she said to herself ruefully, half inclined to give up and run home. But. the dear old face of the rector showed itself at the lower entrance, came in with pleasant words and smiles dispensed on every side, but walked straight hy all the booths to hers. His stay was short, but he left her pretty face bright with smiles and flushed with pleasure. She forgot her annoyance and be fore she had to edcounter any more looks of disdain, her attention was claimed by fresh visitors. She had forgotten all about the expected strangers, that the others were ori pins and needles to see, till her eyes caught a flutter of excitement among the fair sellers of fancy wares on the other stands. Murmers very unflattering to his protege began to reach the old cler gyman’s ears, and he dragged a chair to her side and took his seat behind the table to lend her the shield and protection of his presence, just as the diplomat, first directress sailed up to the floral temple and seraphically suggested to her own mature daugh ters aud the other attendants that as some people’s effrontery was disgust ing to all decent people it might be weli for them to take pity on those who were purpo ely detained at a certain stand, and carry their flow ers about. S > Flora’s fair Nymphs came out of their neglected bowers ard flitted artlessly hither and thither with an elaborately studied “Who’ll buy?” expression on their various faces, and a full basket of buttonuiers in their hands. • Tinie thought her success in get ting names had melted the ice, and the girls were gathered about to con gratulate her, but they did not even seem to see her, so busily were they pinning the buttonniers to the coats of her patrons. The “Commodore,” as the rest of the party called one of their num ber, was easily ensnared. Not only did he submit to being ornamented, but be made anxious inquiries for the larger boquets, and broke off his gay little conversation with Tinie to rush off to the floral temple with one of its fair nymphs. “He must be a remarkably charit able man,” was her little remark aside to the recto** as the commodore proceeded to take unlimited shares In the autograph album. The rector bad been watching the frank, honest face of the young fel low, and, unworthy as he was, he knew enough to tru9fc him; so he paid no heed to the nods and winks from his wife across the hall, who was being informed by the able first directress the danger a girl in Tinie’s peculiar position ran from the over familiarity of the str&Dge young man. Bobby, the candid young brother, hovered about Tinie’s hand hoping for a recognition from his friend of the day before; but much scrubbing, hair-cutting and clothes-brushing had so transformed the ingenuous youth that ha passed unrecognized till he forced himself into notice by a whispered demand to know if his sister wasn’t as he said, eleventy thousand times handsomer tban those old cats who wouldn’t speak to her because ner mother vas a wash erwoman. The Commodore’s bewilderment at the question only lasted a moment. Then he saw it clearly. This pretty girl with her wild rose face and shy, bewitching ways, was the abused sis ter he had already felt a chivalrous pity for when her brother told her story. He remembered it all now— the old, worn out dress, the pretty, white apron that was to cover it— and what a fascinating little aprou it vsas, all covered with ruffles and pub ties aud flummery, as his untutored masculine tongue would have de scribed it! wit api-oa that him, for he had never been so fasci nated by any girl before. Suddenly a wild desire to possess the irresisti ble bit of properly came over him. Would she sell it for sweet charity’s sake. Then the cruelty of securing it, aud leaving her to the mortification of exposing the rusty merino unpro tected by its friendly shelter, rushed over him, and he took Bob into a short c nsultation, which resulted in an interview with the majestic first directress, who was promenading the hail with the bland manner of a shop walker, or of one who maliciously hold a levee, but keeps an eye on the guests that they escape not with the spoons. The snave lady, little guessing for whom it was destined, assisted him to select from one of the tables an apron of far more elegant character than the one he coveted ; and he, with Bobby’s assistance, began to ne gotiate an exchange of aprons, with ten dollars to boot, to be added to the fair receipts. Tinie flushed up at the offer, but the bystanders urged her to accept it, and eveu the clergyman whimpered his approval. She couldn’t go to church without the ribbon she had plucked from her hat to adorn the apron, was the hesi tating confession she whispered back ; which whisper being overheard by Bob, he speedily communicated to his new friend, who surprised him by being too stingy to surrender the ribbons, but begged to be allowed to add to the exchange a whole bolt of bonnet ribbon, to be procured in the morning,' when the sun and the vil lage milliner made their usual simul taneous rising. Tinie. who had not the courage to resist so much opposing force, made the exchange, and entirely overthrow the Commodore’s theory that the apron did it, by appearing even more dazzling and radiant in the new one; but he was satisfied with his bargain. Ihe list was full now, and such a merry excitement attended the drawing that all the other parts of the hall were deserted, while the crowd flocked around to look and to listen. One of the yacht company drew the winning number, and with some dismay found himself the owner of the alburn; but with great presence of rniud he preaented it to the rector, who with just od mo meotary glance of waggishness in his blessed face, begged to be allowed to present it to his esteemed friend, the first directress, who was obliged to hire a man to carry her white ele phant home. There was another fair in Offport the next year, and the album was again put up to be raffled for; but the chances were not registered by Tinie, for she was off on her wedding trip with her most devoted husband, the gay young Commodore, who having neither mother nor sisters to point to the immense social disgrace of marrying the daughter of a washer-woman, had followed his own sweet will in his choice of a wife, and made a selection that made him the envy of all his friends. PRESIDENT GARFIELD’S IN AUGURAL. The inaugural address of Presi dent Garfield on the fourth of March occupied forty-five minutes in its delivery. It is generally regarded as a conservative and high-toned production of a statesman rather than an emenation of a partisan. The following is a synopsis only of its leading features. The President be gan as follows: Fellow Citizens: We stand to-day upon an eminence which overlooks a hundred years of national life, a century crowded with perils, but crowned with triumphs of liberty and law. Bef ire continuing our on ward march, let us pause on this height for a moment to strengthen our faith and renew our hope by a glance at the pathway along which our people have traveled. It is now thiee days more than a hundred years since the adoption of the first written Constitution of the United States, the articles of confederation and perpetual Union. The new republic was then beset with danger on every hand. It had not conquered a place in the family of nations. The decisive battle of the war for independence, whose centen nial anniversary will soon be grate fully celebrated at Yorktown, had not yet been fought. The colonists were struggling, not only against the armies of a great nation, but against the world did ‘not tferßftref'ta&t foe supreme authority of government could be safely entrusted to the guardianship of the people them selve. We cannot over-estimate the fervent love of liberty, (he intelli gent courage and the saving common sense with which our fathers mad** the great experiment of self-govern ment. Under this Constitution the bound aries of freedom have been enlarged, the foundations of order and peace havp been strengthened, and the growth of our peopl in all the better elements of national life has indica ted the wisdom of the founders and given new hope to their descendants. The jurisdiction of this Constitu tion now covers an area fifty greater than that of the original thir teen States, and a population twenty times greater than tha of 1780. The supreme trial of the Constitu tion came at last under the tremen dous pressure of civil war. We our* selvas are witnesses that the Union emerged from the blood and fire of that conflict purified and made stronger for all the beneficent purpo ses of good government. And now, at the close of the first century of growth, with the inspira tions of its history in their hearts, our people have lately reviewed the condition of the nation, passed judg ment upon the conduct and opinions of political parties, and have regis tered their will concerning the future administration of the government. To interpret and to execute that will in accordance with the Consti tution is a paramount duty of the Executive. Sacredly preserving whatever has been gained to liberty and good government during the century, our people are determined to leave behind them ail those bitter controversies concerning things which have been irrevocably settled, and the further discussion of which can only stir up strife rnd delay their onward march. The supremacy of the nation and its laws should he no longer subj-ot of debate. The discussion, widen for half a century threatened the existence of the Union, was closed at last in the high court of war, by a decree from which there is no appeal, that the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof are and shall continue to lie the supreme law of the land, binding alike upon the States and the people. This decree does not disturb the autonomy of the States, nor interfere with any of their, necessary rights of meal self-govern ment, but it does fix and establish the permanent supremacy of the Union. The president, referring to the el evation of the negro from slavery to citizenship, said, “It has freed us lrom the perpetual danger of war and dissolution. It has given new inspiration to the power of self-help in both races, by making laDor more honorable to the one and more nec essary to the other. The influence of this force will grow greater and bear richer fruit with the coming years. There can be no permanently disfranchised peasantry in the United States. Tho emancipated race has made remarkable progress and de serves the generous encouragement of all good men. The voters of the Union, who make and unmake constitutions, and upon whose will hangs the des tinies of our government can trans mit their authority to no successors save the coming generation, but if that generation comes to their inher itance, blinded by ignorance and coin rupted by vice, the fall of the repub lic will be certain and remediless. All the constitutional power of the nation and States should be sum moned to meet this danger by the saving influence of universal educa tion. In referring to financial issues the President said that confusion has re cently been created by variations in the relative value of the two metals, but I confidently believe that an ar rangement can be made between the leading commercial nations which will secure the general use of both metals. Congress should provide that the compulsory coinage of silver, now required by law, may not dis turb our monetary system by driving either metal out of circulation. If possible, such an adjustment should be made that the purchasing power of every coined dollar will be exact ly equal to its debt-paying power in all tne markets of the world. Grave doubts have been entertained whether Congress is authorized by to make any form of present issue of United States notes has been sustained by the necessities of war, but such paper should de pend for its value and currency upon its convenience in use, and its prompt redemption in coin at the will of the holder, and not upon its compulsory circulation. These notes are not money, but promises to pay money. If the holders demand it, the prom ise should be kept. The refunding of the national debt at a lovT?** rate of interest should he accomplished without compelling the withdrawal of the national hank notes, and thus disturbing the business of the coun try. The finances of the govern ment shall suffer no detriment which it may be possible for my administra tion to prevent. With nev' and thorough protec tion to our commercial interests we will urge no narrow policy nor seek peculiar or exclusive privileges in any commercial route, hut, in the lan guage of my predecessor, “I believe it to be the right and duty of the United States to assert and maintain such a supervision and authority over any interoceanic canal across the isthmus that connets North and South America as will protect our national interests.” The Mormon church not only of fends the morals of mankind by sanctioning polygamy, but prevents the administration of justice through the ordinary, instrumentalities of law. In my j udgment, it is the duty of Congress, while respecting to the uttermost the conscientious convic tions and religious scruples of every citizen, to prohibit within itsjnrisdic tion all criminal practices, especially of that class which destroy family re lations and endanger social order. The President then considered the requirements of the civil service and the relative powers of the States and the Union under the Constituiion, and concluded by saying: And now, fellow-citizens, I am about to assume the great trust which you have committed to my hands. I appeal to you for that earnest and thoujh’ful support which makp this a government in ai? i ■ !--w. ■* govron • <ho ,* : T -ha*' greatly re)*, especially wis dom and patriotism of Congress, and of those who may share with me the responsibilities and duties of my ad ministration, and above all, upon our efforts to promote the welfare of rhi- greet people and their gov -n- Itjor.f, I re*’, rnt'< ? • V-k ** P } < port anand t NO. 10.
