If Mr; Will.mis ImJ not boon so
ilimply enjjrosseil in tola'ly ihf
‘oit-Hl. Httbjecl, as he stood on his
front poller), in the warm light of a
bright June afternoon,he woiml have
had coiitirniAti'.ii of the fact that a
uni 'y yon cieiico needs no aceuser, in
the con-cions droop of the darkly
fringed eyelids and the little tremor
ot voice with which his daughter
Bella tendered him a neatly address
ed letter, w-uh the request that, tie
would in til it, please; after which,
having seen him thrust, it into his
most convenient pocket, she had
il mn back to her own room in quite
a flutter of delight and expectancy,
at the probable result of that let
ter’s contents.
But L tche-is, in the shape of a
predatory pig grimly interposed lo
ihwirt the p'ans of that unsuspicious
female. Her Papa had hy this time
fully convinced that the moving mass
in hi- potato patch was nothing more
nor less than a pig, which li tving by
fair means or foul, effected an en
trance in that forbidden place, was
running up a hill which his owner,
would have to foot.
‘•Here driver —hero, Shonto —hay
hoys! sie-hmi —lii-i i-i hip!” cries the
outraged fanner, as with a Chnman
ehe yell he dashed to th ■ rescue, the
: and irs delightedly scampering ahead.
His i>igshi|> desisting from liis work
of destruction, throws tip hi- nose in
quiringly, and for an instant quietly
surveys the appro (thing enemy, then
concluding that discretion was the
better part of va’or, relrouts p-ecipi
| lately to the equally proscribed coni
; lield. Thtivupoii begi is a race more
| plesant to read of t him to participate
; in, under the ardent beams of a June
| no. Over iintiondiug recks and in—
ji l i vening g illies, from the p Mato
patch to the c rn-fii ld, from the com
lie hi to the potato patch again, with
dizzying circles and di .metrical slior
eeitslhcv fly, the pig eviden ly fe 1-
iug that he is put upon his metal,
ami the dogs and, lei mined to do or

master brings tip the rear. Whoa her

in the direct line ol flight, can novel
lie di li titcly know n; lmt true it i s ,
that the animal whirling rapidly
ah nit and making one of his unexpec
ted shorl-cnts, rnus between hisovvn
el’s feet, and brings down his two
hundred pounds of masculinity with
head-long velocity, upon the expan
sive bosom of our common mother
He scrambled '.o his fest a moment af
ter, uttering some words which,
though certainly not of an encourag
ing import to the soil pursuing dogs,
most not lie supposed to he a viola
tion of the third commandment, as
he is a deacou of irreproachable,
standing.
“Whew,” he cries, wiping the
perspiration from his crimson face
and looking about for his hat; whew!
them pigs do beat creation a rutting
I’m clean out ot breath and about to
melt in this coat.”
Will) ibis the coat comes (iff; where
upon Mr. Wilkins discovers a long
line of while shining through the ex
panse of black, in ihe most uncom
promising way- “Dear me,’’ he ix
claims, as h ■ gazes woefully at it, ,
‘l’ve had ilus coat nigh on to four
years, and if it hadn’t been for that
pig I could have kept it fair more.”
The fates being uarlially mollified
the pig slips through a c mvenient
crack at this juncture and disappears
in a neighboring wood, while, with
his dogs leaping about him, their
tongues hanging out like crimson
flags of victory, ihe master returns
to the house. He had stood at his
toi'ette that morning irresolute, not
being able to decide between a linen
cat of inviting coolness, and the one
which he now wore of black, and
the scale hid been tipped in favor of
the latter, by the remembrance that
lie would assuredly see Miss Kachael
Lane at the village post-office, in the
discharge of tier duties as encumbent
there. Now lie gratefully dons the
rejected linnen and carefully brushes
t lie dcist from the disabled black,
hangs it lip in a wardrobe to await
the return of cooler days.

HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, lg(7
lag , discoursing 'he while of poli
tick** and sgrn-u'tii-o. Once in the
. (lice with Aliss Rachel saying nice
thing's as she handed out his mail,
Mr. Wilkins totally forgets, even as
he hail I'es suggestive ones of Ins
own, the neglected letter, on which
so much depends, lying so stiug'y in
his coat pocket at limn \
II rta watches and waitsjfirst ten
herly. then impatient ly; at last nnx
ou-Iy, fo ■ the reply wui* h is so tardy.
‘•Papa,’’ she asks, tremulously,
sometimes of that gentleman when
lie returns from the vil age enry
handed, “ are your sure Miss Rachel
'Lros not overlook or mislay some
tou t of vour mai ? ’
‘■Oh no, my dear,” lie always re
pl'fs“.Miss Riche! is a very exact and
responsible person and is very atten
tive to my mail;'’ which indeed she
was.
The secret of Berta’s distjurude
lay in the fact that "it the day previ
ous to the one in which .Mr. Wilkins
stood on his front galley watching
the manoenvers of the predestined
pig, Rol mil Freeiu m had written to
his daugetr, a very touching letter,
i-ettiii!! forth the state of his affections
relative tv her, sotnethinir in this way:
•‘lf von do no', love me,’’ lie sai l
‘•in the wav I vvi-li, I will not pain
your kind heart by asking i v expec
ting a written refusal of my suit. l)o
not write me at, it will be
enough—old 100 much--- to know
w hat your silence will say. Bu', tier
ta, if you can low. me, on
my darling,” e'c., eic., and the letter
closed in tho raphsoilica! and gushing
style peculiar to that age and con
dition.
S'i lb rta not being proof aganist a
suit so tenderly u ged, an I so hack -
eel by substantial consult rafon, had
replied ill the affirmative, and had
been ever since in a stale of wander
and chag;in at his most unaccounta
ble silence.
“Well! Ido say,’’ cxelaiincs Mr-
Wilkins, a w eek af or tins, at break
fast, “im re’s ini telling the bauds
the young folks take to. these and .ys.
They don't min’, tiling off t* China
nor no where else, no matter how
good a chance tlny've >jot to make a
iv.ng at. hone. A . riling stone
gathers no mos- i- my u t o i.”
“Who has left Grec nv I e now Papa?
ask I Serin, wi b a dim forboding as
to the departed one.
“Why 1 .eland Freeman, to be suve
done gone itf to California where
Ins pa has give him two hundred notes
of as good land as there is ii Geor
gia—half of it in the bottoms.”
“Gone to California!” repeated Ber
ta Lasa'v setting down the cup she
was boating to her lips. “To Cali
fornia when?”
“Why yesterday in spite of all his
Ala and Pa could say to him.”
“Then Mr. Wflkins’ eyes falls upon
his daughter's face, vvl ic’i is very
pale.
“Well don’t look so cut about it,”
he adds kindly, “you didn’t, have
no/hing to do with it, did you?”
“Oh no,” site returns, quickly ral
lying, “I did not send him off.”
“No harm done then. I didn’t
know you see; he used to come here
pretty regular and the kind heart
ed father goes on with Ins breakfast.
Not so the and nigh ter. She t,rides
her muffins, and balances her tea
spoon on tho edge of her cup, me
chanically dropping crumbs into it,
and as mechanically counting out the
mystic numbers which are to deter
mine her ninilen life—“one, two,
three,’ while her he tat says ‘never,’ as
thought follows the errantic one
journeying toward the land of the
setting sun.
At length ihe good father makc
ing an end of his breakfast, leaves the
ro .in, and Berta has an opportuni y
to indulge her grid by giving some
outward expression of it. She sits a
few moments resting with her elbows
on the ‘able before her,with her pret
ty head pressed between her plump
little,hands and presently some large
briny drops come splashing down a
mong the cups and saucers. This does
not last long, for Berta is much too
practical a housekeeper to si griev
ing fora recreant lover while the dish
es are unwashed, So she gets up arid
goes bravely about the discharge of
her domestic duties, which action is
attended with fewer mistakes than one
might expect under the circumstan
ces. She does indeed sweeten the cup
and pul salt in the pudding, but these
ire mistakes which might occur to
any one on a less trying occasion/
When a' last her du'n s over, she has
limn to sit quietly down at her sc v.
ing and ixiuilno in nil its hearings
her lover’s mysterious It-gira, she
comes to what seems to her, the only
teas inabte solution of the matter.
1,’.-, all the fault o that, prying old
m ii i at the post, office,” she says, ns
she bites off the end o*' her thread ra
ther viciously. ‘‘Sho wants Roland
for that pert clot of a sister of hers.
It is perfectly disgusting the vay
that T.uey Lane lakes on over him
because he stud that, sho wau the
prettiest giil in Greenville,” and our
sorely tried little heroine r> fleets
wiili much salt Wan: ion that the lives
just nvo miles out ol town. “Papa
gave .Miss Ricbel rny letter—sin
never gives him a chance to put any
thing into the box hieisell—and of
course site did not mail i'; sho read
it, I know she did. If ever woman
have a voice in elections and ap
point ments, I for one, shall go against
post-mistresses; men do mind their
own business as a rule, but woman
—”.md here her indignation h iving
reached the culminating point, she
bl eaks off in her soliloquy and be
ciiis making stabs with her needle, in
the unoffending cloth, ns savage as it
it were .Miss Rachel herself.
And aft through the heated term
of Bclni’s linger and the long summer
months, Miss Rachel li ire in blissfu l
iguorence this unjust suspicion. It
is true she did not foil to remark Ber
ta’s coolness toward her; and thought
that young lady uiincooutnbly out, of
tim.-er. wli'ii she inquired of her,
with the freedom of lung* acquaint.
Alice and sap rior year®, -if she had
heard from Cul.iforuiii; but as Miss
R iclii-1 knew “ihey sui slie made
eyes .it Berm’s l’.i, and as tint: wor
thy la ly’s cou-cieno did not aequit
her of the charge, sho put the
daughter's ollisli manner unon the
Sco“e of opposition to the father’s
attentions.
Thus the Butmnci blossomed and
want'd; and though Berta neither
gre a interesiingly pale,nor took re
fuge in writing lovesick poeir.y, ihe
star- might, have told talcs if ibey
vvoii and, of many bright drops they had
witnessed on her chec’s, when
the world was hushed in dream nnb
j sleep. She was entirely too well
[ constructed to allow her grief, were
it never so gnawing to come to the
su'faee, or to make any inquiry of
110 l uni’s family as to the cause of his
sudden flight; though, like the Light
Brigade, sho “knew someone hid
blunilorcilor done worse,’’she wisely
left Cupid to look after l.is own af
fairs, feeling that if Meicury had any
thing to do with their present stall)
he was quite welcome to bn gains.
One day. hue in September, when
the trees were wildly tossing their
•green urines in the chill Equinoctial
blast, and murmuring loudly at this
encroachment on the prerogatives of
summer, Darla, with a kindn 'ss and
consideration more promptly reward
ed than is usual, caused n fire to be
lighted in Mr. Wilkins bed-room.
‘ For,” said she, “I’apa will he ho
chilled when he comes in to dinner,
and will so enjoy (lie cheeer and
warmth of the tire.
Mr. Wilkins onto in soon after
and fuby fulfilled the prediction. He
sat rubbing h s hands in enj lymeul
of the heat, with his chair tipped
forward and his feet wide apart, giv
ing now and then little shivers and
jinks, varied with occasional pokes at
the fire.
•‘Bad weather,” lie says, “very bad
cotion ruined that’s open.” Then
he pauses and looks disconsolately
out of the window, upon the panes
of which the rain is playing an aile
grelto. “By-tnc-by, Berta, wish
yon would get mo a thicker coat—
the black willdo. If it holds up I’ll
ride to town for the mail after din
ner.’’
The arrival of the mail lias ceased
to be of any interest to Berta; but
she dutifully puts by her sewing, and
alicr a short search disinters from
under two or three others, the de
sired garment.
“Why I’apn, what a rent !’’ she
excldins, holding up the coal. with a
true feminine horror of darns,
“Oh yes, I forgot—needs a liltle
•cwing up I believe; I fell dewn
running after that hog,” he explains.
Berta sits down and, woman-like,
begins running her hand in the pock
ets; in the very first instance she
comes upon a letter in a white en
velope, having a very familliar look.
She draws it quickly out.
“Here’s a—Oh! its my lott r,” sic
cries hysterica’ 1 }; “that’s why !c
went away. O'l, dear! I’m so glud;
I’m so sorry,” ami she 1 1 Is to laugh
ing niirl crying til in a breath, hy
reason of her long pent up emotion.' 1
Mr. Wilkins regards Ikt in the ut
most ninny, ment.
“Wlml in ltill worlds the mutter
wiili you ?” ho asks, w hen lie oni
find words to do so. “Got liysieiies,
upon my word!’’
“Old Papa, lie does love me,”
cries Berta, kissing the letter r piu
rously.
"Loves you—who loves you?’’
“RolmidP with an ecstatic gasp.
“Looks pewer'ul like i 1
‘ Oil, but lie did not understand— ’’
“Be-sw i’died il 1 do either,”b!tii ts
out ihe perjih-xed father.
Theu iii rta, sensible to the last,
knowing her lover enn best tell his
own story, flies out of the room on
the w ings of love and joy, ru-d soon
r tinning with his letter, places ii
In f re the not tin-y:upathetic eyes of
her father
‘•And you su : d yes, I suppose,” he
says when lot finishes i *, ‘‘.aid 1 spo 1
ed a i ice little wedding by tunning
af or a pig in my potato patch. Well,
well. I’ll set that all light.’’
"But—perhaps—I mean ho may
have changed his mind,’’ begins Ber
ta blushing very prettily.
“We’ll see. Biingmea pen, ink
and paper, and we’il soon know.”
“Here’s a letter for you old hoy,”
w rites the hearty old farmer, "given
ome to mail at its date. I forgot it.
It the news contained is of a nature
to become side in three iimnllis, I’ll
not lio’d von to a reply.”
“Now,’’ says lie, sealing the letter
“if ilns fine f llow comes hack to
to hold you to your promise, what
am I to do for a liousc-keepei?”
“There’s Miss Rachel,” says Berta
with a compunctious throb, “she’s a
very nice lady,”
“I think so,’’ asse ts Mr. Wilkins,
much relieved by his daughter’s im
plied con cut to his contemplated
change of life.
Wlun Howland c.atne back to
Greenville, which he did with all
possible exp-ditloii; mid when a
month afterwards, in the Jit tie vi luge
church, ho received Berta as his wed
ded wife from the hands of her fa
ther; anl, this couple moving back,
Mr. Wilkins and Miss Rachel occu
pying the sime position, went
ibn ugh the same ceremony, “people
said,” they wondered what Mr. Wil
kins could he thinking of, to give
his only daughter to such a run
abont ns Roland Fi ermnn, who did
not know his own mind two mon hs
at a time; hut that Mr. Wilkins—
poor mai l —was likely to receive full
puni-limeiil for offences past, present
and to come, at tho hands of Miss
ltachel, wl o, every one knew, has
been trying to catch him ever tiuce
his poor w ife died.
But if these saying came to the
ears of those most interested—and
such things al ways do—iheyVcre too
happy to he seiioiisly disunited
theieby.

Dr. Elton say.- he called to see a
man named lleiirv Hoskins, a si to
miner aged forty-five years. Hos
kins said that lie had gone to work
without breakfast, as lie had not f*lt
well. About eight o’clock lie hud
drank some co’d water, and hiccough
set in violently at first, but subse
quently he did not mind it much
ihinki. git would soon disappear. It
did not, however, and lie then tried
several local remedies, such as drink
ing nine swallows of water, putting
a cold piece of slate down his back,
and such like cures. He became
alarmed, for he felt lie was getting
weaker every minute. It continued
w ith renewed violence, and Hoskins
was'advised to go home by the boss,
flib wife made him hot coffee and he
tried lo eat his breakfast, hut his ap
petite was entirely gone. He began
to shiver, and hi? hiccough still coiv
tinu dasb id as eve •. Th ; doctor
was sent for. lie at once adminis
tered twenty drops of sal volatile and
fifteen drops of ether in a w ine glass
full of e.hnmplior an 1 water, hut Unit
did not do any go-d. The doctor
tried to divert tho man’s attention
from from it; but it was all to no
pur, one. lie then gave the man
thirty drops of laudanum, and drove
back to his home to procure another
medicate. Still the hiccough con
tinued and in fifteen rniuu .es af or

gestions, every one of which has been
adopted, and some of them with en
tire unniiiiiiity. He denies that he
has expressed distrust of Northern
Democrats; denies that he hits lost
faith in Mr. Ttldun's election; denies
that be has made, is making, or is
wiling to make, a Hade or arrange
ment with Mr. Hayes. lie says that
Tilden had somo votes, that Hayes
had some votes, and that it would be
better to have either of them for
President than a man who received
no vo'es at till. Ilu is in favor of a fair
and honest counting of ihe voles, and
when that is secured lie means to
abide by it, as lie thinks every other
man will, Ninth and South, who is
not willing to destroy his country.
All candid citizens will honor Mr.
Hill for his upiight and patriotic
course.
Woman.
A woman in a neighborhood is on
ly exceeded by another woman. She
can love truer or hate worse than the
men of ordinary calibre.
She cun make a home a little heav
en or a little hell, on less capital than
any other business can be carried oil.
She can make a ten or a hundred
dollar bill go up, (>! so quick.
Slu) can drive a man out o’’ a house
if her longue he working all right
quicker than Beast Duller could get
away with a set of snoons.
She is belter ilian pine or stone
coni for keeping a neighborlio id b 'fl
ing hot and home more unendurable
than a burn on your In st thumb joint
all the time making you think she is a
package of ri fined innocence, a saint,
a favorable angelic advertising agent
lor Gabriel.
She can kiss another woman sweet
er, and then ta'k about her worse Ih in
olio of these Deform Republicans can
tall: about the Prcsiden’.
And sho knows more about intui
tion of a l tho r flairs of the neighbor
hood than Grant knows a>ou his re
latious or the post office presents he
receives, or is u !
She cun lie nicer to a woman she
ha'es than a carpet-bag poliii' iin is
to a negro before lie has voted.
She can walk fuller to display a
new dress than a loyal or di loyal
contraband could travel for chickens
in (lie night.
And God love her. if she loves a
man, -he will s’ick to him longer than
the Dmt family wiil to the enimorta!

Like dollars, good women are hard
to get, hard to keen, bothersome to
look after, but here is a conundrum:
How can we get along without them?
