RICH I) W. GRUBB, a j£,g, o ,i DARIEN, GEORGIA. SITI'RDAY MOKVIVti. JINF, 13th, 1874. ‘Lonely Tonight, Love” Husband Traveling.-Scene 1.-Room iu hotel, Spittoons full of cirgai stumps. Bourbon whisky. All hands equipped for a night’s spree. Hus band in a hurry to be off, writing home: Dearest Susje— My time is so occu pied with business that I can hardly spare a moment to write to you. Oh, darling how, I miss you. and the only thiug that sustains me during my ab sence is the thought that every mo ment thus spent is for the benefit ol my dear wife and children.

The hours pass te diously. No body calls 011 me, and I am constantly thinking of the time when you will bo home and your cheerful countenance light up the routine of every-day life. My house hold duties keep me constantly em ployed. lam living as economical as possible, knowing that your small in cofne will not admit of frivolous ex pense. But now, dear, I will say good bye, or I will be too late for the monthly concert of Parepa. In haste, yours, Ac. A Model Dedication. My original intention was to dedi cate this book to the friend of ray boy hood, Azan bin Ghes, the Imaum of Muscat, in memory of the happy days when together we played marbles in the Oman desert, and ducked each other in tho Persian Gulf, and tor tured inoffensive cats on the Island of Kishm. But I have changed my mind; I have resolved to dedicate the book to a humorist who has had too little fame, to the most delicious, because the most unconscious humorist, to that widely scattered and multitudin ous comedian who may bo expressed in the concrete as tho Intelligent Com positor. To his faculty of perpetra ting felicitous absurdities I am in debted for “laughter that is worth a hundred groans.’’ It was ho who, putting into type an article of mine which contained the injunction, “Do not cast your pearls before swine,” transformed the phrase into “Do not cart your pills before sunrise.” It was he who caused me to quote flic poet’s inquiry, so that I propounded to tho world tho appalling connun drum, “Where are the dead, the var nished dead ?” and it was his glorious tendency to make the sublime con vulsively ridiculous that rejected a line in a poem of mine, which de clared that “a comet swept o’er the heavens with its trailing skirts,” and substituted the idea that a “Count slept in a hay-mow in a traveling skirt,” The kind of talent that is here displayed deserves profound rever ence. It is wonderful and awful, and thus I offer it ns a token of ray mar velling respect.— [Max Adair's “Oat of the Hurly-Burly." Faith—A party of us were in a stage-coacli among the mountains, when the horses became unmanage able. The driver shouted and coaxed. We were very much frightened. Some screamed; some cried; others tried to jump out; and all were pale with w.zight—all but one little girl, who sat quietly by her mother's side, in the general hubbub. “Don’t cry, mother, don’t cry,” she said, patting her mottier’s cheek. “If we upset we shall fall into God's arms.” Who of us would not have given anything for the sweet trust of this darling’child ? Perhaps it saved us. j The horses became quieted down, and we reached home in safety. Seneca says that the great sources of anxiety in life are three; the fear of want, the fear of disease, and the fear of oppression by the powerful. He says that the last of these three is the greatest. Seneca is about correct. t&~ It is stated that Captain Wil- j liams, who lost the White Star steam er Atlantic, is now in command of a sailing vessel engaged in the China ' trade. is a beautiful sight to attend an Arizona wedding.
