SENuTIIK LITTLE ilNEii iiAPi Y TO BHD.
HT jn.WTIS R. SMITH.
Send the little ouor happy to bed
When closes the troublesome day ;
Let no harsh invective be said
To ruffie their mind while they pray.
Sore trials and troubles full Boon
The sweet sleep of childhood will ban;
Then let them lie Joyously down
And cherish bright dreams while they can.
Send the littlocnet- happy to bed, ,
Though they may be mischievous and wild,
Nature seldom bestows a wise head
On a rosy-checked, light-hearted child.
Then let their glad spiiits have play.
And brighter and stronger 'they'll grow,
Like a stream that runs free on its way,
And suffers no check on its llovr.
Send the little ones happy to bed
You know not what ill may be near;
Ere the morning tsraay be dead,
Tiw?rv#'*b<s iWfeAet or th* rear.
So let- lie down with delight,
And fail not to give anti to take
A kiss when they prattle “good night,”
And a kiss in the morn when they wake.
UNDER THE CHINA TREE.
liY lIESTT R L SHIPLEY.
Two little birds swung to and fro
in the topmost boughs of a tall China
tree in Mr>. Bernard’s front yard. It
was Valentine’s day, and therefore
legitimate occasion for pairing.
Said ':r. Jav: “This is a verv nice'
. * i
place for our nest.”
Said Mrs. .lay, in the authority of
early, bridehood : “No; the naughty
boys will throw rocks at me while
you ate away getting worms.”
“There you are wrong,” returns
Mr. Jay; “the sweet young I- dy will
not aliow them to hurt us, and we
are safer here than elsewhere.’’
And with this view Airs. Jay must
fain be content.
This is a free translation of the in
cessant chirping and chattering this
gay couple kept up, as from their,
lofty perch they recommitered their
tuture abode, and made quite a mer
ry-go-round of the occasion.
One month later they returned to
the selected spot, where, their hon
eymoon ove-r, they took upon them
selves the serious duties of' life with
the greatest alacrity- Flying po and
fin, w ith little sticks in tlieir beaks,
o>: hits of dry moss! or indeed, any
-tang suitable for their purpose, they
evinced a steadiness of intention and
unflagging energy worthy of imita
tion. ■
While Air. Jay is absent on some
special mission, his worthy spouse,
turning her bright eyes about inquir
ingly, espies under the rustic bench
beneath the tree a bit of paper, and
straightway flics down and secures it,
and when Mr. Jay returns, shows it
to him triumphantly as an article of
adornment for their future home.
Ah! Mrs. Jay, you little know the
mischief you have done. Later in the
flay a young gentleman from a house
across the street opens the gale of
Mrs. Bernard’s yard, and then closing
it, saunters leisurely up the walk lead
ing to that lady’s house, with ail air
of easy assurance and certain wel
come. Seeing a book lying upon the
rustic bench aforesaid, and being
quite methodical in his habits, he
turns aside for the purpose of restor
in'! it to : t- prop?” place within doors,
her he is hound. Vs ho lifts the
book, however, from between the
leaves drops a letter—a valentine,
lie sits down, and does a very dis
honorable thing- he reads it. He
does this because it is addressed to
Miss Ida Bernard, and the chirogra
phy is undoubtedly that of Mr.-
Charles Gaston—the lady is his be
trothed; the gentleman is his rival.
Put yourself in his place, and judge
him leniently. This letter, which was
written upon paper of delicately tint
ed blue, the color most suited to the
occasion, with the monogram of “O.
G.,” in the center, contained a pas
sionate avowal of undying affection
for the young lady, and wound* up
with *he request which, was evident
ly the inspiration of the moment:
“Ob. maiden ! by tiiose charms divine,
Be mine for life, my valentine.”
And lest the monogram should not
be sufficiently explicit on the score*
of the authorship of this original
couplet in the extraordinary flour
ishes of the “V,” the same obnoxious
initials were ingeniously arranged.
The casual observer might have fail
ed to discover anything surreptitious
about the valentine: not so the eye
of jealousy.
Mr. Arthur Wright replaces the
letter in the envelope, the lid of which
has been torn away; and, as he medi
tates upon the practicability of assert
ing his right to forbid such expres
sions of affection which, though ncilli-
HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA..fS fESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. 187#
er remarkable for depth nor original
ity, are gertai dy persuasive, his med
itutivc eye ful's upon a fit. of paper
just beneath the bcncli. lie picks it
up ami reads, “Charles, I love you,
l ) hero ho is left in tantaliz
ing uncertnmty as to the conclusion
of xho sentenee, for tlm ivni'rls are
WBttPii upon otic half of the severed
lid, the remainder of which is not to
be scon. He at, onee institutes a
search lor it, and whim at link agree
able employment, Master Ned Her
nard, aged six, appears;
“Roily,” he cries; “I thought you
was a bear.’’
Mr. Wright certainly looks fero
cious enough to answer that descrip
tion, as he scrambles up into a more
dignified posture.
,“What was yon looking for?” In
quired Master Ned.
“Nothing,’’ says Mr. Wright, re
suming his seat. “Why?”
“I thought you had lost ■'”-> heart
too, like >tr. Gaston ton. ' r Lida
he did. Did you know my ob-tailed
fee would run rabbits?’’
“When did he say that?” inquires
Air. Wright, with subf me indifference
to the bob tail lice.
■‘Why, this morning, when they
was sitting on that bench; and he
got on liis knees to look for it, too.
Yonder’s my pup; here, Rover,
hfir-r-re.”
Which earnest call being unheeded
by Rover, Master Ned immediately
sots off'in pursuit of him, leaving Mr.
Wright to chew the cud of sweet
and bitter fancy.
While he thus sits lost in profound
meditation, Miss Lida herself comes
to the door, and beholding Iter be
trothed seated at. their usual trysting
place, at once comes out, to him,
smiling and radiant as the mo liing.
“What a ghvfnv brow 1” she ex
claims. “W/Jawe now lies thy grief;
oh, tell me, ~■>,! Arthur 1”
“In reading, atmther turn's declara
tion of ime w my promised wife,
and her acknowledgment of a rt-cip
rocation and ;qV,,l,jgy for inability to
return it openly, ' he replies, sorely

He repeats the — .

“And you oUj tot?’’ she.says.
“I do.’’ ,
“Ry what
“That of future husband.’’
“You read my, letter by the same
right, I presume?”
“I did, and this also.” He holds
up the bit of envelope.
Her eyes flush.
“You believe that I love Charles
Gaston?”
“I do.” (He doesn’t, though.)
“And you know that I am your
affianced wife?”
He bows.
“Very well, Mr. Wright; here is
your ring, ana yonder is the gate;
the tiffin I marry must trust me. I
wish you a very good morning, and
tt free exercise of v> " unaining
rights.” And she Jet m.
He gets up and g out of the
gate in a dazed sort c f way, and from
the animal instinct to fly from pain
and herd with his kind, rather than
any definite object in doing so, walks
on toward the village inn. ITe at last
becomes conscious, as the shock of'
his sudden dismissal abates, that be
holds in his hand the scrap of paper
which has wrought his destruction,
or that of his hopes, which just now
appears to him synonymous, and he
dashes it away as if he would then
and there wreak his vengeance upon
it. But having gone twenty steps,
ho returns, picks it up and places it
in his vest pocket with a sigh.
For a month after he preserved a
dignified unconsciousness of Mist
Bernard’s presence on the rare occa
sions of their meeting, sometimes in
company of someone or more of the
village hellos, but more frequently
with Mr. Charles Gaston, Ilis feel
'ings toward that young gentleman
reached a highly sanguinary pitch—
he could havl seen him impaled by a
lance, hung, drawn and quartered, or
even served up for a cannibal ban
quet with perfect equanimity.
At length it was rumored in Wa
terville, in which, as in all villages,
the good people paid the strictest at
tention to th i affairs of each other,
that Lida Bernard was not to he
married to Mr, Wright, as had been
at first supposed, but that the happy
groom expectant was Mr. Charles
Gaston.
Over this Aq Wright ago

with the agony of d.ath. The attri
tion of his puientju Was soon inani; st
in bis deportmunf at home. ile
scolded the children, kicked tie dogs,
and th(> eats ,re his (ace and

One day one of the little things
which are so often the turning point,
iu one’s life, or upon which one’s
whole future happiness hinges, hap
pened to Mr. Wright.
The dog kioktju was in this instance
the prop Tty of Mastin' N j.l If -mat'd,
which action, that y. ui.g gen: lonian,
being upon the pot, duly resented.
“I didn’t ware IMa to marry r.o

“I like Mr. Gaston: Jj gives me can
dv, and makes I hope
Lida never wilt \ Jgbp. you'oack—
“Whistle m.'i^^T.?”
“Th- V ■■■.,?' (!,,

And this sji.-.-e:i being dmy repeat
ed to Miss l.idn. the breach grew
wider and aider. lie ceased to raise
his hat when they nut, and she look
ed another way.
'J ims matters progressed as the
summer faded i.it.o autumn, and the
magician, Frost, with his invisible
wand turned tdier green woods into
wonderful masses of imprisoned flame
and sunlight. The leaves on Mrs.
Bernard’s China tree had no exemp
tion from the enleime of general de
cay, and came fluttering down silent
ly, one by one, or like a shower of
canary birds, until t! were
left bare and deso ate, stretching
themselves out imp' singly to their
dun-colored brothers afar in the silent
| forest.
| One of those tenner, melancholy
i days in Oc >ber, which coma to us
like the half forgotten memory of a
happiness long gone, Mr. Wright
looked from his window at the sug
gestive China tree across the
doubly so in its desolation. He is
very sad. lie has reason to oe so,
for the wiseacres of the village have
fixed the day of Miss Bernard’s mat
riage with his rival at no distant
date, and though such authority is in
no wise infallibly yet. iiis daily ob
servations of their maneuvers do not
contradict the report.
“Arthur!” ,
His mother’s voice sounds up the
stair into the front bed-room where
lie sits, a prey to melancholy. It is
a voice of perplexity.
“Well, mother.”
“Ido wish you would just step
ovei to Mra. Bernard’s and ask her
to lend me her syllabub churn; I have
broken mine. Jane is just as busy
as can be, and 1 have no idea where
Sam is.”
“And what is the necessity for the
churn this evening?”
“Why, don’t you know? The
minister's lanliiy and your cousin
Julia are coming to tea.”
The young man is a dutiful son,
and makes no further demur, lie
has seen, from his post of observa
tion, Mr. Gaston drive off, with Lida
by his site, half an hour before, and
he 1 nows the coast is clear He has
been from his babyhood a pet of Mrs.
Bernard’s, and that good lady has
seen, with deep regret, the “ii lie un
pleasantness” between her daughter
14ml himself.
He says he will go. This he does
in a painful frame of mind, which in
ere -as he nears the 1> rn ml
• giomuls. .As lie enters the portal,
1 out from a clamp of cedars emerges
! Master Ned, who, making grimaces
and walking backward, precedes him
lot !u> house.
“1 know who you've corno.lo see,”
he snva, “Hat, you c- i-n’l roe lie;
; he's gone off with her other sweet
i heart, site ha-.’’
“I wish to see your mother,” says
Ai lluir, repressing a desire to stiangle
the little imp.
“Well, you can’t see her, neither—
she’s gone down in the meadow to
see the new calf. Don’t, you want to
go? ’’
Mr. W right declines, and not
! knowing what, ek- 1 t,, do, as there is
no pressing necessity for the immedi
[ ate forthcoming of the chum, con
cludes to await its owner’s return,
and seats himself on the rustic bench
! of painful memory. Master Ned does
i 'ikewise.
■T know 1 somethin;:,” he begins,
looking very wise. No resnonao
i a 1
from Mr. Wright.
“Don't you wish you kr.oa-e i?’’
I “No!’’ for ho anf.icipat -s its imp. .t.
Master Ned’s loquacity receives
j only a temporary check. lie casta
lus eyes up, reflectively, a few sec
| onds, then breaks out:
“Wish you’d get that bird’s nest
tor trie. I asked Mr. Gastou to get it
y. Rterday, but ■■ as so busy kissing
Li la’s hand he didn’t hear me, I
guess.”
Arthur springs to his feet.
‘Thing mu a pole, and bo quick,”
he says.
The pole is drawn forth from its
place of convenience, where it has
lain since yesterday awaiting a possi
ble leisure moment of Mr. Gaston’s
lime.
j After various thrusts and lunges,
i the empty nest came fluttering down
at the feet, of the delighted Nul.
: Mr. Wriglu looks at it v ith a sad
| ness akin to pain, and draws the an-
I aiogy between it, am! his hopes, which
have flown away like the little birds,
! leaving the flea.," w biclj hud. cherished
them, 1 me •aiiclA.lrs.ii.n.e.
“Look-a-here,” cried Ned, deligbt
i edlv, breaking in upon his fancy with
j a palpable lac - ; “it here ain’t a piece
|of paper in this here nest. Just get
it out, will you, Mr. Arthur?”
Mr. Wright does as he is direc t'd,
and recogniz s, with a shock like that
of the voltaic battery, the delicat.ly
tinted blue of the paper and the fa
miliar characters of the superscrip
tion on it—“only as a sister.” lie
turns hot and cold by turns as he
takes from his vest poflltet a hit of
paper, the counterpart of this, and
fits in the jugged edges of the center.
The sentence lies before him com
plete—“ Charles, I love you, but only
as a sister.” His folly and stupidity
overwhelms him. He leans a mo
ment against the tree and gasps for
breath.
“What’s the matter?’’ demands
Master Ned. “You ain’t got flirta
tion of the heart, have you? ’Cause
that’s just, the way Lida done yester
day when i'r. Gaston was talking to
her, and I know they J something
about flirtation and heart.”
“Very likely,” is the bit 1 or re
sponse. and, as he makes it, afar up
the long, straight road arises a cloud
of dust from rapidly revolving wheels.
“Ned,” says Mr. Wright, “Auntie
Wright is baking cakes this evening;
don’t you want to take your mother’s
syllabub churn over then ?”
’Twas a word to the wise. Ned is
off like a skyrocket.
In a few moments the vehicle stops
at tiie gate, the gentleman assists the
lady to alight, reseats himself, and
with some gay words, drives oft’.
She enters alone, humming a little
air. Mr. Wright suddenly confronts
her, and the song dies on her lips.
“You here?” she says in surprise.
“Yes, Lida; to humble myself in
the dust before you. But, come,”
and he leads her to the seat lie has
just left. “Here, with the evidence
of your truth before me,” and he
spreads out the bit of paper on the
sea'; “here, where I permitted my
jealousy and suspicion to outweigh
for the moment my love and trust, 1
ask you to forgive me. Oh! Lida,
canyon, will jon forgive me?”
“Oh, yes,” she returns, sweetly and
coolly; “l forgive you freely. And
now, while 1 have an opportunity to
do so privately, for I see mamma is
coming, 1 v ill ask you to make one
of uitr guests to day fort id . lit. lam
then to be married to Mr. Ga.-ton. 1 ’ 1

the preference, the office uid distinc

or fiir tiie satisfaction of a few friends, !
who continue to grumble yet refuse
to think and act at I tie proper time. |
I agree wiili him that “Hi time has
come for advance niuvcmcn s,” and
hope and believe that the Deni mralic j
party comprehends their work, and
wiil shape tho destiny of the country,
by nominating their best men and
supporting them heartily.
“This one hnndridi'i anniversary!
of our national indedi ndence is an
auspicious time to free ourselves from
the va-alage of all kind-,” but this
will never be accomplished bv his
plan, tor if we, by ti ling to rid otii
| selves of “cliques and lings,” support
independent candidates, we would re
i tain the yoke of oppression upon our
i necks, placed there by Radical rule,
j from which we have been trying to
rid ourselves since the war. 1 am
glad that air. Hilliard wilt support
Mr. Tihlen, and hope he will support
the standard bearers of the party
who nominated him, for we are ucll
aware that he can do but little with
out help. To support an independ
ent is to doubt the integrity of our
party, anl ignore the $30,000,000
saved* by a Democratic Congress.
It I had been allowed a vote oa
Secession, I too in all probabiiiy,
would have voted against it. I also
performed the duties imposed upon
me during the wm; -o did thousands
of others vote and act, when their
country called, yet \>e claim no cred
it, as the. votes were based upon
opinions, * r contro’d ! y parties, and
the work during the war was only a
duty, for which one man, in perform
ing it, deserves no more credit than
another. It is hoped Mr. Hilliard’s
friends do not desire to sacrifice him
by urging him to run as au independ
ent candidate, for he will ce tainly
lie served like our neighbor over the
river, lit “has no distrust of th
people,” and nerd have any, espea
ci -Ry tonic-; :v, as they will sup

Mr. Hi! iard, iu till pn,babbit ,
would make us a very g -id repre

if nominated, but we can not throw
aside those who have worked i.i1.1..
fully, and continue to work for our
delierence from Radical rule, for one
who would come up on the eve of
victory and throw discord in our
ranks, it is hoped our dele, pi es wdi
lay aside all personal preference and
prejudice, and act wisely by giving
its the best man, and he can rest as
sured of oar support. If Mr lll
liard recieves the encouragement he
desires, we may expect to he troubled

his friends will thus view this matter,
