At the stroke of twelve, one night, when there was no moon, tho door of a luigo and handsome liouse, in a pfeatAtiit conti'Ty pitch, 'was opened sofily, and n g'uTicrept out and looked anxiously about her. She was a pretty-young creature, with a soft "foolish sort of face, and tfhe had an air ahout her tha tpld of good liv ing, and freedom L ain all tare as to ways and means.' fler dress was a Imndspmo ope, suitable for tmviTmg, and ju bur hand she carried ale ther hag. d<*inu the door softly b-hind Tfer, she lutrH. and HowiPfte gfWefen path, mul at the gate found her hand clasped.-hy the strong hand of a. man A—a handsome, tall fellow, though even in that light one" could see that he watt not a 'refined person. Indeed fhe man was her mother’s own hired servant,•‘with whom she was about to elope. To say why she bad been so fooli-h as to take a fancy for him—to exp’am the feelings that indneed her, young, beautiful and educated, the daugh ter of a wealthy woman, with a good "position in society—to fall in love with a fellow who had nothing but a certain amount of coarfce good looks to recommend him, wolud be to succeed where al| the wi-est men ill the world hav'e failed thus far. Who has ever been able to give the reasons for a w oman’s infatu tion for her lover. It:deed, she lias initio.

Ami no I cannot tell you why ij£.ate Armour left hOif happy home, her mother, who loved her, her friends, and all luxuries, for the "kisses-and praises of that boor of a groom, who bad no honest worth to compensate for bis lack’ of education and TTiattfienst. Go she did, however, and the two were innrried in the nearest town, .TJVta Scutcher having no doubt whatever that Mrs. Armour would relent when she heard that her girl really married, and that he should lie doWn in clover for the rest ot his days. He recltouecl .without his host, however. Tine mother replied to her daughter’s first letter by forbid ding her,ever to write again. When theMnswer catne tho groom was very angry. However, he was in love, in his coarse fashion, just then, and after sulking an hour or two,-lie turned to his wife, and said: “Well, you’re as handsome as a picture, "any w ay —and hang the woman!’-’ Then he took her by both arms, holding her so tightly that he left he marks of ltis fingers upon them, and kissed lie on the neck. A fierce, hot hiss, rotn which she shrank wit.h a little sc'cam, crying: “Tom, you hit me !” So be})ftd: At Icnsyit was a sort of;bite, site < j: d...rot know what to c-a-e off'. 'Afterwards she burnt. —n he had dar HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA„ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28,1876. And ro prone him.' Inm with it, and he had a glas , and foolishly twitting him with the tact that she had left wealth and luxury for him, and might have married well, he struck her. So her love ended and the lowest depth of misery reached. She sasv the man she belonged to for life ill his true colors. And now bo often told her •thnt site iiad lost all her good looks, and was nothing but a drag on a young fellow who could marry “ihe pret tiest girl going, if he were -ingle.” * Oh, mother, mother, if you only knew,” the gid often sobbed in sicrift; but she could not g> home t tempi:’* lituby in her arms. Indeed she had not the resolution necessary to enable her to mu away. A little, soft, silly thing she was still, and ever would be. Scotoher, with his habits, lost one place after anothet, and they moved on and on, living here and there. Sometimes with plenty to eat, some times with half enough, until the child was a year old. Then, one morning; Scotcher having found w ork in a neighboring town, or so declared, they traveled together across the country, the wife carrying baby on her arm and a bundle in her hand. Kate Armour had disdained to carry the tiniest parcel. They had come to a spot in the road where a grateful shade fell from some large elms, and they sal down to eat and drink. Torn was in his best humor lor some reason, and made a joke at which his wife laughed. On that, flittered by her appreciation, he told her that “any way her teeth were like pearls.’’ Praise is sweet to a woman, and she bad beard no compliments for a long time, and she smiled at him again. “I’d grow good looking ag lin if we had better time’s,” said she, “And there’s mother with a box full of money, and no one to spend it on.” ‘•Why, what do you mean, girl ? ” said Scotcher. “ Box full of money I Her money is in the bank, I suppose, like other folks.” Kate highed. “Moeher never will put money in a bank,’’sbe said. “Site’s sure they’!' fail. She has it invested in other ways; but she has thousands some times iu an old red box under the bed, Sbe throws things on top, and says that it is the best way to hide it. I've often worried over it at home.” “Yes,” said Tom, ‘‘it’s foolish but women are mostly fools.” Then he finished his bread and cheese and arose “I’ll go back to the tavern and get a drink ot beer,” he said. “You sit here —you and the child.” Then he stooped down and pinched the hoy’s check. Not for months had her Orson been so charming. Kate was really comforted. She sat in the shade for a long time, not wondering that he was long in coining 'buck when he had reached so desirable a goal as a tav ern. And after a while she fell asleep. It was a long, sweet sleep, and in it she saw her mother and the oid house where she was born, in a strangely vivid dream. Her rntiUj' r set and looked at her in the oB r - -"•'on her lap lay • great pel And now Kate began to under stand that ho had ahmloned her. At first going, by herself to a spot where no one could see tior she cried over it, and felt very wretched. Then hope filled her heart. Now he? mother would relent. Oh, as suredly her mother vv.euld relent and ake her home. She returned to the tavern, ami asked the way to Gr.ipemore. O.dv nearer than she thought. On’y fit* teen in los away. Towards it she net her face. Slowly and painfully she toiled on, begging her bread as she went. She sVpt in bf-.i’nS at times.

She would not lag until she met her mother. She washed her own face and that of her child in a little pond. Sbe shook some of the dust, from clothes, and walked on more slowly ooiuiug at length into the trim sued with its houses half hidden in their fin • gardens, in which stood her mother's dwelling-place. Yes, s! e must be forgotten—she must, she would. lout what was ibis? Ustidly the street was so ptiet. Now a c'owd tided it. People ran to and fro some shouting, some crying. And the densest of the crowd was about her mother's house. What had liap pe- e 1 ? With her heart beating wildly, Kite clutched the arm of a poor woman wlm was near. “ What is the matter?” she asked. “Why, it is murder,” said the woman us she spoke. “You’re a stranger, ain’t you ? Y T ou don’t know old Mrs. Anuonr. Ste was killed last, night for her money. Seems she kept a considerahlu sit n u uler her bed in a chest.

From the Dinbu , y News.] Tilt* city man who goes into the country t-* spun 1 the summer must make up bis mind to learn something of the routine of rural lib*. A New York man who is spending the hot weather season with a family on Pine street was asked by the la-lv of the house if he would take a lien off the nest, as it wanted to Ret and she didn’t want it 10. “ Certainly,” said he, and iintn di ately started out to tho barn where tho hens were kept, to crush out the maternal prospjetrf of this partfcli'ar one. lie went stiaight to the nfisC to lift her off, and reached out bn ban ! for that purpose, but immediately drew it back and put it up under the otb er arm, and squeez 'd it a little, while he drew up his lips a litt’eas it about to whistle something. Then he stood there and stsreil at the hen, and she lifted u;> her head aitd stared back at him, winking Iter eyes with singular velocity. “Get off, won’t you?” sail lie after a singular p.iu-e. She made no rusp mse. lie drew out his hand and looked at a red -p->t on one of tho knuckles, ami then put tho knuoklerin his mouth to cool it, looking all the while at tho lien, and wondered h>v on earth she moved so quickly. The longer lie eved her, the less inclined ho folt to touch her, and finally ho ditched up a post to a beam .i-hioli ran over the nest and working bis way out un til lie got just above the lien, bo look off his hat and shook it at her and ad vised her to “get.” But sho only looked at him with one uyo at a time, and clucked ominously. lie told her if she didn’t leave he’d como down there and kick ker through the barn, but immediately gave up the blood thirsty design when lie reflected that it was a dumb animal and it couldn’t reason like a human being, ’ihcii be happened to think of his pants’ which were w hite linen, and iubbqd his fin gers on tho beam to had them lull of black dust, which led him to work his body aroan 1 to lo >k at his pants, sinl while making this very na'ural move he suddenly slipped, made a ! a plunge to renew his hold, shrieking | for help, slipp 'd again, and tlum | came down on top of the hen and the nest, smashing them both to the floor, upsetting a barrel, an 1 fi ling the air with dust, feathers, hen noises and shrieks. When the fam ily reached tho barn, the unfortunate man looked something' like a circus poster on legs, had gotten on his feet and was ttu'iiing around his head in an abstracted manner, and every time lu> turned, an omelette oi a white linen base came to view, while the hen stood up in the furthest cor n ron one leg with a look of min gled astonishment -and repro tch on her countenance. After five minutes industrious application with a chip, the gentleman was escorted into the the house, where his head was bathed in spirts and his comforts generally attended to.

Beautiful Tribute to Woman. Wo have seen many beautiful trib utes to lovely woman,but the follow in'' tribute is unmistakably tho finest wo have ever read : , “Place her among the flowers, fos ter her tender as a plant, and she is a thing of finery*, way whrduess anti folly, annoyed by a dew drop, fret tod by tho touch of a butterfly’s wing, ready to faint el tho sound of a window pane at night, and hIiO is overpowered by the perfume of the rosebud. Hut let real calamity come and rouse lior tiff ctions, en kindle the fires of her hert, and mark her then I How strong is her heart. Place her in the heart of the battle, give her a child, a bird, or anything to protect, and seo her in the relative instances, lifting her whito arm as a shield, as her own blood crimsons her upturned head praying for her life to protect the helpless. Transplant her in tho dark places of earth, call forth her energies to action, nml her breath becomes a healing, her presence a bles-iug, She disputes inch bv inch the strides of stalking pestilence, when man, the strong and brave, pile and affrighted shrinks away. Mis fortune haunts Iter not; she wears away a life ot silent endurance, and goes forward with less litnidi y than to her bridal. In prosperity ho is a bu l full of odors, w aiting for the winds of adversity to scatter them abroad. Gold, valuable, but untried in the furnace.
