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. -And with a courteous irow, be dis IN DEMOCHATIG FA.

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 e t'i ire papa silting on the veran dah, reading; and tl eio in the or j chord is my ha-k< t of nppl-s, ivhi.'lii I gathered for tho pigs, if you won't mind, iII feed tic in now and carry i lie basket bock.” “1 il enjoy it ol all tilings,'' ho as serted, L : 'ting tho basket lie carried it fot her to the stye, where she atmisi and Inrstlf with tossing the fruit, one by one, to the eager, pushing crowd wii him “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.” ANNUAL SI JISCIHETJON $2 o< 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.
