An Impudent hippy.
“Where is Sue?” inquired Mis.
Me'lington, entering the room where
lu r two eldest daughters were engag
ed, i lie cue in reading, the ether with
a hit, of fancy work.
“I rcnllv do not know, mamma,”
answered Ada, looking up from her
work. “I lnvc had scarcely a glimpse
at Sue since we canto to tho country.
She appears to have taken to an out
door life, and is never in the house
except at night.*'
“I saw her about two hours ago
on her way to the orchard,’’ remark
ed Hose. “She said she was going
to feed the pigs, and would alterward
take a lesson in milking.’’
I wish I could find her,” resumed
Mrs. Mellmgton. “I am sure that
Col. llanßy or his son will call this
afternoon, and it is proper that Sue
should be present. She did not ap
pear on th-ir former visit.’’
“She will shock the Colonel by her
hoydenish manners, and, as to his ton,
I hardly think he will particularly ad
mire her. He doesn’t fancy temalc
socioty. I’ve beard, and prefers his
dogs anti horses. And wasn’t he a
little wild at college, matnmu?”
“A litt’c too fond oi what is ca led
fuu —nothing more that I have ever
heard. He is a clever young mau,
will be wealthy, and is, next to his
father, tho best match in tho neigh
borhood, though, as you say, he don’t
appear to care particularly for ladies’
society. I fancy he looked rather
bored while talking to that stately
Miss Radstock, clover and handsome
as she is. And then lie must knotv
that all the gir's arc trying to secure
him, which naturally makes him shy
of them.”
These remarks were clearly intend
ed as hints to tier daughters, lor
Mrs Millington was a genuine match
maker, ami had already married oil'
two daughters advantageously.
Finding that the remaining eldest
daughter had failed to make tlie de
sired impression on either Col. Han
ley or his son, she had bethought her
self of producing Sue, hitherto, as
the youngest and prettiest, carefully
kept in the back-ground.
But, meanwhile where was Sue?
She had filled a basket with apples
for the pigs, strolled around the or
chard, admired the trees and the
fruit, and climbed a low plum tree, in
o.dtr to gather an especially fine one
for her father, in this position her
eye was caught by a low line of green
wdlovvs, bordering tho sloping mead
ows beyond the orchard.
“It looks as though a stream were
tiiere,” she thought, “and I do so love
water. I dare say it is so lovtly un
der those willows. Come Rolla,” call
ing to a little half-grown terrier, ‘-you
and I will go on an explo’ing expedi
tion together.”
Rolla, after coaxing, rather sulkiiy,
obeyed. He was an ugly little, crook
ed-lcgg, bairy-muzzle pup, which Sue
had, on her arrival at tho farm, begg
ed of tho fanner for a pet, Yet Rol
la, despite all the petting, did not
take to this pretty young mistress, but
persisted in evincing n decided pref
erence for tlie barn and kitchen, and
low life in general. She was not dis
appointed iu her expectation. She
found a clear, shallow stream, which
ran rippling and murmuring pleas
aut’y beneath tlie willows, between
the thicket of wild rose and blossom
ing elder.
She seated herself on the grassy
bank, took off first tier hat and then
her shoes and stockings, and allowed
the cool ripple to dance about her
white feet, Then she became inter
esting in watching some insect life
on tlie surface of the water, and when
satisfied wit h this, resumed her shoes
and stockings and lay back on tbe
cool turf, dreamily rep|ting snatches
of poetry.
BUENA VISTA, MAIUON COUNTY, GA„ NOVEMBER 3, 1880.
A s ! .ity sunbeam glided on h r
tippling brown In.’.r. and tho eyes
that looked up through tho waving
folijj’o wore deeply blue and chw is
the summer sky overhead. Pity that
t lime was no sti ay artist to gaze upon
tho picture.
Suddenly Sue awoke to the fact
that Holla had dbnppt an and. He had
been smc'ling about the bushes, and
had now stolen off on the track oj
some SC'lit, perceptible only to bis
own keen olfactories.
Sue lilted up 1 cr voice, and called
iu her sweet, clear, girlish tones:
“Holla! Holla!”
In answer there was present'y a
rustling amid the cider bushes, and
furth stepped not tho culprit Holla,
bill a very handsome young man,
equipped wiih a gun and g .me-bag.
Sue spiang up. Each stand lor
an instant at the other; then the gen
tleman, gracefully lifting his hat,
said:
"May I inquire, Miss, what yon
want with me?”
“Want with you ?” responded she,
in surprise.
‘‘Yes; f was crossing the field yon
der, when I heard you call me," he
replied, with a slightly demure ex
pression about his mouth and eyes.
“I called yeu?”kaid Suo, in.hg
n a ntly.
“Yes; you called ‘Rolla,’very dis
tinctly and eaimstly,’' replied he,
biting the coiner of his mustache,
•‘and I, oi course, obeyed the sum
mons, and am at your service. My
name is Rolland, or Rolia, as I am
familiarly called,”
Sue surveyed him Itom head to
loot,
“Oh,” said sh \ cooly, “it was a
mistake on your part. It was not
you, but the other puppy, I was call
ing. Ilis name is also Rolla.”
‘.lndeed ! where is he ?’’ inquired
the gentleman, looking around with a
great expression of interest.
“lie has run away from me.”
“1 winder at him. In fact, f real
ly cant see bow he could have done
it,” said he, looking at Sue, and
slowly stroking lfis mustache.
She drew herself up with a great
assumption of dignity.
“If you will try, sir, you will find
how it can be done,’’ said she loftily.
“And if I don’t want to try?”
“Then the other puppy must make
you. Here he is, just in time. Here,
Holla, good dog; bile at him, sir!”
And Sue cinppt and her white hands
together, and tried to whistle, as she
had seen her papa do, to the great
amusement of tlie gentleman.
But, instead of gallantly m-liing
to the attack at command of his
mistress, It, l!a frisked up to the.
stranger with cxlravagent demon
strations of delight.
“O he knows you,” said Sue, con
tcmptously. “and so you didn’t run,”
“Yes; Rolla knows hisfiicnds. In
fact, lie's my namesake—an honor
conferred upon mo by the admiring
partiality of farmer Hawes.”
“He belongs to me now, and I
mean to change Lis name,” said .Sue
positively.
“Pray don’t. Y r ou have no idea
how musically it sounded across the
field. I fancied some wood nymph
—or—dryard —was calling to me.—
Belongs to you now, docs he ! Hap
py dog!”
And he stopped and patted Hol
la’s bead.
She turned sharply.
“Are you going away sir, or shall
1 ?” she demanded.
“Oh, I would not for the world in
commode you ! and I beg you to
remember that I came only because
I fancied you were calling me, having
probably seen mo passing. I saw
you from the bank above. Pray ex
cuse tlie mistake, and allow me to
wish you a good evening.

i-ppcared among ti e hushes.
She stood looking indignantly af
ter him until lie disappeared.
“The impudent puppy!" she mur
in'-red; “1 never saw such assur
ance."
And then a slow sufle rippled over
her face which slio remorselessly
ducked by biting the tlie corner of
her under lip.
‘‘Come, Rolla,” si c called, in a
subdued voice, “come, sit, and go
home; and sec Low you get into
scrapes again,’'
She climbed tlio bank into tlie
nu adow, tho dog followed with a
subdual and cnlprit-liko mien. But
suddenly he gave a short, sliaip
bark, and at the same moment an
other and stronger sound smote upon
Sue’s ear. It was a low, licarsc,
sobbing murmur, which seemed to
swell into an angry roar.
“If I wire in Africa, I should fan
cy that a lion’s roar! ” thought Sue,
curiously looking around.
In an instant her cheek became
deadly pale, and she stood breath
less and transfixed, as a huge ani
mal, with lowered head, and eyes
gleaming through shaggy forelocks,
emerged from a thicket at some dis
tance, and came slowly towi rd her,
teat ing up the earth with Loots and
horns.
Rolla, after a burst of obstreperous
balking, turned and ignominiously
tied.
She strove in vain to follow bis ex
ample, Her limbs felt paralyzed,
and she turned faint and sick.
Tlie bub came slowly onward, now
lowering ids bead, now uplifting it,
and staring'fiercely and threatening
ly at the figure in tlie center of tlie
field.
Sudd, nly a voice shouted:
“Don't be afraid ! llnow away
youi red shawl ! Now run —run to
the nearest fence—wLile I keep him
iff!”
The assurance of help at band in
spired her. She tore off tho light
zephyr shawl, which had attracted
tlie attention of tlie bud, and ran as
fast as lur trembling limbs would
carry her.
Ilow she got over the feucc she
never knew. Indeed, she knew noth
ing distinctly until tin-gentleman she
bad characterized as an “impudent
puppy,” lightly leaping the fence,
threw hiinselt, lather breathlessly
and heated, on tiie ground near
w here she bad sunk the moment she
had found herself in safety,
“Oh,’’ said Sue, half sobbing, “I
am so glad you came! That awful
creature would leave killed me.”
“I fortunately heard him bellow
ing, and, remembering you, came
just in time to keep him off.”
“Weren’t you afraid ?”
“Oh, no! I used when a boy to
bait these animals for my own amuse
ment. But yon sec I can be of more
use to you than ‘the other puppy.’
Where is l:e?”
“Gone. Deserted mo in my hour
of need” she replied, smiling fainily,
as she dried her tears. “But I've
had enough of him. I’ll give him
away and get a better and bigger
dog to accompany me on my walks,
if they are to be as dangerous as this
ore.”
“Ain I big enough ?” inquired the
gentleman. “I’ll take tho best care
of you.”
“O, T don’t know you yet, you see.
I will ask papa,” she answered de
murely.
“Certainly—by all means ask pa
pa !” said lie eagerly.
‘ I’m going home now.” slio said,
rising.
“Won’t you permit me to see you
safe ? Tiiere may bo more cattle
around, to say uothiug ol snakes and
owls,’’
“Well, 1 think you may come,
though we arc near iio.no now. 1

“So you take an interest in those
poetic animals?” n marked lie; com
panion, us lie stood curiously look
ing on.
.“I feel sorry fo v th m, they aro so
ugly and dirty. Nature seems to
have treated them unjustly, poor
tilings, in making them so interior io
other animals. But then, the l.ttle
ones, w th their pink noses and fanny
eyes, do look so chubby and inno
cent,”
She tossed some apples to the lit
tle ones, and looked thoughtfully
said.
“They remind me of a p'eture I
saw lately—Circe, surrounded by a
herd of swine, into which she Led
transformed her admirers, and would
never have imagined how much ex
pression there was in tlie way that
i hey wriggled and groveled at her
feet.”
“I see tlie picture now, at least
something liko it,’’ the gentleman
remarked, looking from Sue to the
pigs.
And again Sue repeated to herself,
“Whatan impudent puppy !’ as she
droppid more apples into the stye.
And this was tbe spectacle which
greeted the horrified gaze of Mrs,
Mellington as she stepped on the
veranda where her hnsband was
reading, and looked across the lawn
to the orchard. The tea table was
ready, and she was "expecting Sue.
“Mercy on me!” she gasped.—
“Why, Mr. Mtlbngton,Ponly look!
There is actually Sue with Col. Ilan
-1 v's son feeding the pigs.
Mr. Mellington chuckled.
“Well, mv dear, I don’t see the
harm of it ; if they like it. Though
where she could have picked him up
1 can’t imagine.”
Meanwhile, Sue and her compan
ion leisirely crossed tin orchard anil
tho lawn.
• Now, I’ll introduce you to papa,”
she said. “Only I don’t know your
name.’’
“Oh, perhaps he knows and will
introduce me to you.. Meantime,
call me anything you like.”
So Sue walked straight up to her
father and putting her hand on his
shoulder, said:
“Papa, I’ve had an awful fright.—
I was chased by a raging mail bull,
and my puppy ran away irom me,
and another with the very same
name, saved me; so I’ve brought him
homo with me,” nodding in an intro
ductory manner toward the guest.
“Eh?” said pupa, looking up; and
catching tlie expression of the two
faces before him, he fe.l into tho hu
mor, aud, as he rose, said with a
wave of his hand toward the waiting
tea table. “Very well, my dear, we’ll
feed him.”
So Mr. Rolland Hanley sat down
to the table with the family, and with
an nt'or absence ot that unpleasant
restraint which Mrs_ Mellington had
marked in his intercourse with Miss
Radstock; an 1, despite her vexation
at Suo, the meal passed off agreca
ably.
Of course this was not Mr. Han
ky’s 'ast visit to tho Mcllington’s
of course there were frequent cads,
with walks and rides, in all of which
he fullff led his promise of taking
care of Sue; aud when, at length, be
asked tlie piivilcgc ol taking earc ol
her through life, she did not say nay.
Lately, when Mr. Hanley was
boasting that his wife had accepted
him on tli ir very fir.-t interview by
referring him to papa, Sue looked
around and said:
“You wore an Impudent puppy
that day, you arc still.”
A distinguish author says: “I re
resolved when Ia was child never to
use a word which I eouH not pro
nounce belbro my mother without of
fending her.”

THE IDEAL SAHU. I TH.
The idea' Sabbath is tho Sabbath
at borne when !be hem! of the house
hold—larmer or mechanic, merchant
or lawyer, cipitulist or operative—
enjoys Lis weekly rest among those
for whom his days ol labor have
been spent. Whether tho Sabbatic
institution was, or was not created
by the fourth Ci.minandineht, there
seems to be in those words. “Tlion,
nor thy son, nor thy man-servant,
nor thy maid-servant,’’ a glimpse of
the restful enjt yruent which the day
of rest, in the primitive conception
of it.woulu bring to the families that
keep it.
The day of resf, being rest and
not revelry or dissiaption, and being
therefore a day of home enjoyment,
brings with it opportunity lor sober
thought and conference. Ajsabbath
keeping people will become a thought
ful people and such thougbtfuilness
is man incs. A!1 men, and especialy
tne busy millions in an anvanced civ
ilization like our town, need for
the sake of wearied nerves and mus
cles, the seventh-day intermission
of their ordinary work. A true Sab
bath is something far more restful
than a day of noise jollity. In its
calm air tbe miml rest by thought
lessness—by quiet musing, by con
scious or uuconsious retrospection;
perhaps by consideration of what
may yet be, perhaps by aspiration
and resolve toward something in the
future that shall be better than what
has been in the past. The home in
which Sunday is a day of rest, and
homo enjoyment is hallowed by the
Subbaths, which it hollows. In the
Sabbath-keeping village life is less
frivolous, and at tlie same time in
dustry is more productive,for the
weekly rest. A Sabbath-keeping na
tion is greater in peace and in war
for tlie character which its tranquil
an<l thoughtful Sabbaths have im
pressed upon it.— [Rev. Dr. Bacon,in

Sad Sequel to a Ball-Hoorn Acquain
tance.
PiTTSRtJr.o, October 36. —A rather
disagreeable st nsation came to light
on the south side of this ciiy to-day.
it seems that some months ago a
a young, good-looking girl with
blonde tresses, named Annie Wal
ker( who resides on I’lus street, be
came acquainted with a fine, dark
complexioned young man, named
William C Smith, at a balk The ac
quaintance ripened into friendship,
and the pair finally became enamor
of one another- After a brief term
of wooing Smith proposed and was
accepted by the young lady. Three
months ago they were married, and
for a time everything was lovely but
ot late Smith has been neglecting his
'oving spouse, and on Saturday they
came to bl >ws and during the heat of
passion an angry quarrel the hus
band informed the wife that he was
a negro. Mrs. Smith was astounded
at thcintelligcuco.but liar darkblood
cil husband soon made tlie fact ap
parent, She then left his home
in disgust, and has entered suit
against himjjin consequence of the
quarrel on Saturday, for aggravated
assault and battorv, before Deputy
Mayor Hartman. She says that she
will also take inimediated steps to
to procure a divorce. Smith is ac

Yeast from Grape Leaves.—
Grape leaves make a yeast in some
respects superior to hops, as bread
rises sooner, and has not the peculiar
taste which many object to in that
made from hops. Use eight or ten
leaves for a quart of years; boil ten
minutes, and than pour hot liquor on
the Hour, the quantity of the latter
being determined by whether the
yeast is wanted think or thin. Use
hop yeast to raise it to begin with,
and afterward lhat made ot grape
leaves. Dried leaves will be as good
us irosh. If a dark film appears up
upon the surface when rising a lit
