SW&1S81 & «0.« AT ROARK'S CORNER, NEXT DOOR TO W. H. BROTHERTON, ATLANTA, GA, I <tiii bo pleased to meet all my old friends at our new place of business, where I am prepared to show them a large and well assorted stock of purpose*, and at very low figures, K- ?. MAtfSEY, la*# Massey and Hertv. ieb 1 ATLANTA, GA. The First Oder. GoTdi-n curls and laughing eves, hounding footfall and a voice full of I laughing music, a laugh like the chim ing of silver bells, and a tinv figure, little and graceful as the fairy Tiiania. This was my love to JN*»ia Raymond. ‘•Be your wife: 1 never heard of 1 such nonsense in my life! \ r our wife, indeed? I should as soon think of marrying p.ipa, or brother Will, or—or why, ! can’t think ofauy other mas culine so impossible !” 'This was the answer to my suit. “But why?” 1 presisted. “Why? Why don’t a girl marry her j grand-mother ? It’s because slip gets j tired of seeing the old lady around. 1 j can’t remember a day that 1 have not I seen your phiz the first thing i:i the | morning. 1 never went to a party with any other escort. I never was in any scrape but you were my compan” ion in mv misery, or my shield from punishment. 1 never did a foolish thing in my Hie but you were there to laugh and rebuke. Oh! Marston, do go make love to some foreign lady : | but don’t be so absureil as to marry your cousin, who has lived with you under the same roof since she was a baby.” “But al! you say goes only to prove my devotion.” “Devotion ! You snub me quite ys often as you praise. Besides—” She hesitated. ‘ Well.” - “I’m only sixteen, and am not going to accept my first offer. And, then, Marston. you don’t come within a thousand miles of mv beau ideal.” *,Oii, I don’t ; pray describe your beau ideal.” “Tall.” “I stand six feet one inch.” “Handsome, with black whiskers and the manners of a traveler. A man who has not lived all his life in a mis erable village, but has seen the world and profited thereby. One who has mixed in distinguished society, and learned refinement of dress and man ners ; and who can talk something besides books with a lady.” “Ah ! well, il you won’t have me, you won’t, so there’s an end of it.” I got up from t'ie arbor seat when? we had been sitting and strolled toward the house. I saw her blue eyes open with amazement at my coolness. I did not enact despaff- lor her benefit, but laid my plans for edification. Two days later I had left home and gone to the city on a visit. Nina gave me a merry farewell, and did not seem at all heart-broken at the prospect of a separation. If she fell any emotion, she was soon soothed, as the following letter, directed to my address* convinc ed me : “Dear Marston —My hero has ar rived—such lovely black whiskers ; not at ail like your smooth face, cousin; such curls, not auburn ones like yours; black eyebrows and lashes—yours are yellow. He ims been everywhere, has | seen everything, speaks the foreign language, and has tire polished man" ners. lie brought a letter of introduc tion to Will, so, of course, he is here quite often, and seems very well pleased with a certain cousin of yours.” And so on. the letter was filled up with home gossip, i read it at the little inn of my native village, where , all my letters re-directed to Mr. Alonzo Aourinev, followed me. The blaolt whiskers lay on the table beside me, the wig hung from the brnkingglass, while the dyed eyebrows and lashes still adorned my face. My fine broad cloth suit, cut in the latest city style, my patent leather boots, kid gloves, and dandy cane lay on a chair, while I lounged iit dressing gown and slippers, before the window, scanning my cous in’s letters. As I was engaged to drive her out in an hour, l began my elabor ate toilet. Every curl was in position, every fold correct, as 1 rang the bell to my uncle’s house, to which my telluw conspirator Will, had introduced me. No suspicion of my identity crossed my aunt’s mind as she gave me a polite welcome, and Nina's blinded eyes saw only Mr. Courtney the traveled dandy. • 1 trust I see the rose of Glendale in full health,” I said, with a bow. “Ah ! those fair hands were destined for daintier tasks than this!” and I de prived her of her sewing. “The soft air woos us. Will you drive with me ?” With a bewitching little hat, and every curl in glossy beauty, she was soon ready for our excursion. I can not tell all trie flattery I poured into her ears, hall disgusted at her blushes, and half amused at her innocent pleas ure in my exaggerated gallantry. It was the first time I had been alone with her in my disguise, and took occasion to delicately hint at my entire devotion to her charms, and grinding 01 v teeth at Iter coquetish acceptance of the same. I saw her every day for a month, pressing my suit on all occasions, ur.u tilling her ears with Crawling affec tations and flat descriptions of Italy and France, with broad comparisions of the daughters of Europe and America. At last I proposed. To my amaze ment she refused me flat; to my de light she informed me trial mv cousin was a dressed up idiot. Ido no. mean ’ that li.aee were her exact term?, out Drugs, Medicines, Chemicals, Pat. Med., Paints, Oil, Glass, Putty, Fancy and Toil. Art., Soaps, Per fumery, Brushes a variety, Wines, Brandies, 4*c., §*c. her warm defense of lo r cousin, alter my sneering hints of jealousy, was fully equivalent t>> such a declaration. Os course, m \ proper self returned, tadianl ami hopeful. B ill you believe il ? She was ofToh as ever when 1 made my advances. She was cousinly an I sisteily nil 1 was in a fury over ! her cool ease and matter ofeourse af fection, but would only laugh at mv love, and compare me slightly to her recent admirer, and had the audacity to hint that her heart walked out al the door at Ids departure. ' I was half inclined to quit the field; but 1 loved the gipsey hartiiy, and could not give her up. Luckily. I had a sun-stroke. Now, a sun.stroke is not generally a fortunate event; but for me it opened a way to my present happiness. 1 was in the garden bn«v about some fruit which was being gathered, win n all the face of nature turned dark, and J fell. “Marston! Marston! only speak to me! It is Nina. * Oil ! Marston, do speak to me!” Hot tears fell fast on my face. I had been carried into the house, and it was' the second hour of my stupor when the words struck my ear muffled and dim. But deliciously sweet the ooor voice sounded in my agony. Then Will said ; Feel liis pulse, now, Nina. IFe is coming round. I will leave you here while J go and bring mother.” M e were alone. I could not move, but I could feel her kisses rained on my face, her sobbing regrets for past unliimlness, and her low prayers prayers whispered for my safety. At last I opened my eyes. With my head restinir on her arm. my face raised to Iters, and my hand clasping hers, she could not escape. So she surrendered at discretion, and we were married three months before ! told her who made her the second offer. Such is Life —This anecdote, which Every Saturday translates from Die Garteulaube, illustrates the proverb that no man is a prophet in his own country. it was a lovely spring l morning in the year 1843, when a little bridal party entered the office of the maisc of a parish in the environs of Paris, in order to subscribe there the marriage con tract of the young couple. Small, however, as the part} was, it was not the less select The bridegroom was a talented young artist, who now-a-davs enjoys a signal reputation, and his marriage witnesses were named Ingres and Patti Delaroche, two masters oi the French school of art. The pretty bride had chosen as her two witnesses two friends of her deceased father, bv name Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas. After the official had written down with the utmost particularity, j the surnames, Christian names and ! station in life of the bridal pair, he passed to the witnesses, and turi ed first to Victor lingo wilh the question as to bis name. “Hugo?” he repeated, in doubt. “How is that written ? Js there at at the end ?” The author dictated the name tetter lor letter. Then with dig nity the man of authority proceeded with the second question “What trade do you follow?” “None at all,” rejoined Victor lingo, laughing. “What! no trade at all ? But at any rate you can write so that you can sub scribe your name here ?” To this ffllgO assented with great equanimity, and then came the other witnesses. When Ingres and Delaroche answer' and that they were “painters,” the functionary eyed them over his spectacles with a very supercilious air, and said-- “House or sign painters ?” The merriment of the whole party irritated him greatly, and lie growled out something about “disrespectful be havior,” while Ingres answered him — “Write down simply “painters.” Alexandre Dumas, however, came on with flying colors, for he announced that he was a “gentlemen,” (rentier,) which raised him far above bis com panions in the estimation of the official* who front that time forth vouchsafed to address and pay attention to him alone. These mem were then in the zenith of their fame, and yet, well known and honored as they were throughout the civilized world, within a stone’s throw of the gates of Paris their names were unrecognized and unrespected. i’ajlifg for Mis I’roveader tiy Praying The Cleveland Plaindealer sr.ys : We have no intention of making fun of serious matters in telling the fol lowing good story —we merely relate a fact : There is a rule at Oberlin College that no student shall boardat any house where prayers are not made each and iy. A certain man fitted up a board ing house and filled it with bo: rd<ws, but forgot, until the eleventh hour, the prayer proviso. Not being a praying man himself, he lo«k and arm-id for one i I who was. At length he found one—a meek } rung man, from Trumbull N 0.42. county, who agreed to pay for his board in praying. For a while all went on smoothly, but the boarding master furnished his table so poorlv that the hoarders began to grumble and to leave, and the other morning the pray et boarder actually “struck!” Something like the triMo w ing dialogue occurrf and at t lit* table : Landlord Will you pmv, .Mr. Mild? .Mild—No sir. I will not. Landlord—Why not, Mr Mild * Mild—lt don’t pay, sir. I can’t pray ■on such victuals as tin sc. And unless you bind yourself in writing to set a better table than you have for the last three weeks, nary another prayer and» you get out of me. And that’s die way the mutter stood at latest advices.

Behind the Woodpile. —A minister in Mary land was called to the door on« bitter cold night in January, bv a young man who asked him to perform tfie marriage service. “Certainly,” said the minister, “when do you re quire my services?” “Immediately,” was too reply. “liut where ts the bride?” inquired the astonished pastor. •••Why,” said the groom, “Sal was so bashful she bid herself behind tin* woodpile till I had asked you to tie the knot. “Come out, Sal.” B dug thus admonished, the blushing hi hie come forth from her place of concealment, followed her affianced into the parson age, and the loving pair were soon made happy. ‘One of llek Swine.” —My sweet “spring of geranium” has a fashion, when speaking of her # beaux [during their absence, by styling them “my swains.” Her pa heard hpr speak thus.

He then culled her: and from up stairs, over the balusters, in sweetest accents, she replied ; “What do you want, pa?” “Come down at once, daughter, here’s one of.your swine.” Imagine my sensations, amidst her ringing laughter, after the old boy’s exit.
