A Jaunt to Oxford.
Oxford — classic, cultured, famous Oxford !
We made our first visit there the other after,
noon. It is useless to speak of the beauty and
grandeur of her bui dings and location. That
is well known far and near. As we stood in
and beheld magnificent Seney Hall,
of our jovial companions, under the inspi¬
ration of classic scenes, classic shades, and clas¬
sic surroundings, grew suddenly eloquent and
philanthropic. “Srney Hall ! Seney Hall !"
said he, “the princely gift of the magnanimous
George I. Seney. Don’t you all love him ?”
There was a smile from our chaperon, a young
Covingtonite, a former student of Emory.—
That smile meant much for Mr. Seney,
“I wish I was rich,” continued our boon com¬
panion, “ how. many colleges t would endow,
and thus set a worthy example and go down to
posterity as a benefactor of rny race.”
We found the learned president, Dr. I. S.
Hopkins, superintending the work of Emory’s
technological department, in person. We saw,
heard, and imagined many, many things,
but time and space forbid further notice.
It is true It happene l not a thousand
ag* We were at the house of the lady
—a cultured, social, vivacious, and dapper
she rel ited the circum¬
about this w iy : She has a “solemn
lemn” looking piece of human flesh fora
husband. He is chockful! of sly slick fun,
nevertheless. All husbands like to tease
their wives especially just after marriage.
And this is the way the said husband play¬
ed it on said wife—that is, it is one of the
many coyly mischief things he did: It was
in the pulmly balmy days of the past, when
southern girls reposed in luxuriance,
and had, therefore, very little knowledge
to how to run a household.
Ary how the pater mildly asked for
hogshead and turnips for breakfast. The
mater, in her egerness to please her “liege
lord,” resolved to do so. It was found to
be a big task. Ergo a wash pot was pro¬
cured in which to boil the turnips and
hogshead. In two days they were ready.
were put upon the breakfast table. —
You can imagine the surprise, the chagrin
of the husband, as he, in company with a
crowd of boarders, on that memorable
morning, came in to partake of said break¬
fast. The modest wife was somewhat set
back when apprised of the error, but a
good-natured silvery-haired boarder came
to her rescue by saying he was ‘‘fond of
turnips and hogshead,” and, acting on
that, he partook heartily of the feast.
Said hogshead had all of'its natural
characteristics, and, to make it more at¬
tractive, comely, palatable, and estheti
cally pandering, the tasty mistress had
given it some artistic touches. A beauti¬
ful redapple was in its abyssful mouth.
“Ye scribe” could not refrain the observ¬
ation, “you ought to have put a rose bud
in each of its gushingly tid-bitty ears."
A smile from the group, and she cut us
off by saying that it was in the period of
wintry weather. A likely daughter of
bet s sitting hard by,caught up the strain,
and facetiously remarked “a sunflower
would have lent enchantment to the
scene." Here the curtains closed. Fare¬
well hogshead and turnips. The above
may or may not have occurred in Coving.

Simms’ Mtisie H ill.
The elegant hall, at this place, known as
“Music Hall, * is now ready for use. It is a
product of the generosity of Col. A. )5. Simms,
and was designed and built by that excellent con¬
tractor—Capt. H. Padgett,
It is a beautiful building, an ornament an!
honor to the town, a fit and lasting monument
to the magnanimous gentleman who had it built,
and a visible, tangible volume of praise to the
contractor who conceived the plan and carried it
into executi n.
The hall has a seating capacity of 500 or 600,
is well furnished with comfortable opera chairs,
and is well provided with heating, ventilating,
and lighting capacity.
A special feature of this, as of al! opera halls
—is the stage, which has been tastily and artis¬
tically arranged by Mr. Howland. It is arrang¬
ed in this style :
The drop curtain, which represents some ro¬
mantic or historic view, with rich and elaborate
drapery and gold frame. Then there are four
rich and elaborate scenes which are delightful to
the eye and elevating to behold. They are in
order: The parlor scene, which has double
centre doors and rich panel effects of damask
and gold. This scene is used for all fine inter¬
iors. The kitchen scene, which has a rustic in¬
terior, with a door and double window, This
is one of the most useful scenes. The street
scene, which is a view in perspective of a street.
This is made composite, and will answer for the
plays of almost any period. The last is the
wood scene, which is quite beautiful, showing
true to nature a leafy wood with pathway leading
through. All the above scenes have beautiful
wings to correspond and supplement the main
scenery. dedicated
Last Saturday sight the hall was
and formally opened. Mr. Padgett exhibited
and described the scenery, after which appro
priate short speeches were made by our worthy
mayor, Capt. James M. Pace, Capt, John B,
Davis, and CoL Emmett Womack, who lavish¬
ed deserved praise upon Mr. Padgett and CoL
Simms, and heartily congratulated the town
having such “a thing of beauty. ”

The finale was the introduction of
Jones, of Columbia, S. C., a former resident of
this place. Prof. Jones made the occasion de
leclable by a witty, humorous, instructive, and
highly-relished speech, after which the crowd
dispersed with the assurance that the hall would
be christened at an early day by a first class mus
icaie.

would have put us to considerable incon¬
venience, now that winter is so near upon
us.
Mrs. S. D. Hight, wife of Mr, Stephen
D Hight, died at her home, near Coving¬

of Elder Joel Colley, a prominent Primi¬
tive Baptist minister, and was about w
years of age. She was a member of Cov¬
ington Baptist church, a kind and affec¬
tionate wife and mother, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew her.
In the Meshes of Love
The following is a love letter written by a
young man, while stopping, in Covington, to
his dulcina :
Miss :
The knowledge comes to me of your ap
proaching marriage, and upon the heels of this
statement it behooves me to inform you as to the
source of my information, which I assume is
from no less authority than yourself, your Aunt
having so far violated your confidence as to show
me your letter of recent date, in which you ad¬
mit the above fact. Blame her not, let her
friendship and interest for us both plead in ex¬
tenuation of her fault, if it be a fault. From
certain statements in it, personal to myself, I
desire now, ere the vows and obligations inciden
tal to the altar, shall have shocked your freedom ;
and, while you still bear your maiden name—a
name at the mention of which my pulse has ever
quickened and my heart has always thrilled, to
address to you the last letter, perhaps—that you
will ever receive from my unworthy self! I read
your letter with mingled feelings of pain and
pleasure. I can never tell you the intensity of
these varied emotions as they surged through my
soul. Over and above all, memory arose and
carried me back over the shifting sands of life
to a September evening one year ago, when, af¬
ter a brief association, at parting you pinned a
white rose to my button hole, and bade me to
not forget you. How well I have observed that
admonition ask the silent stars to which at mid¬
night’s hour I breathed your name, with the hope
that no evil ones would ever halt above your
head. Ask the angels whom I besought so
earnestly to guard your young life that me
thought I could almost hear the nestle of their
wings. Ask the spirits who watched by my
restless corner, how often in my dreams they
heard me breathe your name. Take from my
life the hopes that are elegant of you and then
you will know that I have not been faithless to
your memory.
At last, as a reward for my unalterable affection,
1 am allowed the pleasure, at this late late hour,
of knowing that while your heart is mine, your
hand is bestowed upon another. Alas, that such
happiness is mine—a happiness in which hope
lies fluttering at my feet with a broken wing
wounded unto death. Oh ! unpropitious fate, I
bow to thy decree, and, as the forest oak ever
leans in the direction the hurrkan’s breath has
taken, so will my heart incline to the cause of a
joy that vanished in the hour of its birth.
Why, during all these years, have you been
silent. Why did you give me no sign, leaving
me to discover by accident that which I should
have known ere you pledged your hand and
mortgaged your rebellious heart ? Perhaps, it
were better that I should have never known, for
the knowledge of your love can only come to
me in the bitterness the prisoner feels when he
looks at the glad laughing sunlight beyond his
bars and knows that this doom is fixed and that
on his limbs is the weight of irons. In all the
shifting scenes of life, then often, methinks, a
gloomy spectre will menace my steps, and with
bony finger and ghastly smile point to that
bourne and shoreless land, “the might have
been.” But ’tis idle now for me to regret ; the
seal of our destiny is set ; other hands now claim
your heart’s allegiance. I hope others may
bloom for mine. Let us forget that in the lot¬
tery of fate our hearts were pained ; let us in
one common grave bury our dead love. Plant
the ivy besprinkled with with our com¬
mingled tears, above its ashes and
turning face tbe world ressolved to live the best
that circumstances will allow. O’er this open
grave I offer you the parting hand, knowing full
well that when we shall meet again the careless
freedom, the joyous lightheartness from youths,
will have passed from us forever. Henceforth
your kingdom will be your own and your empire
your household; and I know you will adorn
both stations with all that queenly grace that
characterized your girlhood. If you are happy,
the world will know but little of you in tire fu
ture. In the warp and woof which go to make
up the sum of human lives, the beautiful skies
altove, are those over which we weep, and revo¬
lutions make our histories, and sorrows indite
onr loveliest poems. In proportion then as you
are happy will you be forgotten by that social
world in which you so long moved as one of its
fairest queens. Now I offer you my hand in a
long and a last farewell. I go back to the world
which I have left for one brief hour to live in
memory again the time when, as youths and
maidens, with united hearts and locked hands we
roamed the desired fields of love together. I
go, leaving the dead dreams to the dead past
that gave them issue. The vision of a fair young
face, crowned with a wreath of raven hair, will
accompany me through the heat and burden of
many a day to come, and float through my
dreams long after my memory is dead to you.
One Bottle Instead of a Dozen.
“And it took only one bottle to do it,"
said a gentleman, speaking of Parker's
Hair Balsam. I had a run of fever, and
when I got well of that my hair began to
full out so fast as to alarm me. I really
didn’t know what to do, until one day a
friend said, “Try Parker’s Hair Balsam.—
This was some months ago. What sur¬
prised tne was the fact that one bottle
was enough. I expected to use up a doz¬
en. Clean, highly perfumed, not oily,
not a dye. Restores original color.
