BB.ABFEES'LB, Druggist, WAIT EH ALL STREET, ATLANTA, GA f«b 20,186fw1y An ißfHcasaat situation. John Smith—you’ve beard of him— is very bashful; is too bashful in truth. He was bom and raised in the coun try. His father give him a good edu cation, and allows him plenty of uon oy. But John, with all other attain ments, could not accustom himself to female society, not because he did not like the girls, hut because his nature would not permit him to associate with the fair sex. It once happened, not very long ago either, that John’s father had some very important business to transact in the city, he had also some very partic ular business to attend to at home which demanded his personal atten tion, and not possessing the power of übiquity, he delegated his sou to trails act that iu the city. John being thus com mis honed, im mediately proceeded to the city, and to the residence of his father’s old friend, whom he found to be a very nice old gentleman with a beautiful daughter and gold spectacles. John was ushered into the parlor, (anew thing for him) and motioned to a seat —no, a sofa (another new tiling.) But w r e must use his own language: “I took my seat, and made observa tions. Everything was tine! Fine cargets, tine sofas, line tables, fine cur tains, fine pianos, fine everything, and especially a line young lady who dress ed in fine silk, fine satin, and who had fine curls, and a fine appearance gen erally. After chatting with the old gentleman a few minutes, he took down his hat told me to make myself at home for an hour or two, and left— left me alone with his daughter, and a young mischievous boy, the young la dy’s brother. I didn’t relish the situ ation at rdl. The idea of keeping a city belie engaged in conversation for two hours —perdition ! Silence reign ed in the parlor for a short time you bet. I amused myj elf as much as pos sible with the boy—that is, I loaned him my knife and watch key, and watched him cut holes iu the carpet with one, and spoil the other. I don’t know : what I should have done had it not! been for that boy—he was so good to ; attract one’s attention, you know. It is true he asked some startling questions occasionally such as this: “Are you going to court sister Emily V” but such things are to be expected un der such circumstances. Miss Emily thinking no doubt, that to be a gcod hostess she must keep her guest engaged in conversation, asked me how I liked country life, &c. She said that it must be a beautiful sight to see the laborers, male and fe- i male, romping on the new mown hay | on New Years day; that slie always l did think that she would like to spend a Christmas in the country a nut gath ering with the village lads and lasses; that it hael always been a mystery to her how thev get eggs off the trees without breaking them, Ac. In return, I thought to keep up my part of the conversation, it was neces sary for me to quote poetry and the hke which I did. Among other quo tations, I unfortunately repeated the well known lines of Shakspeare: “There’s a divinity that, shapes our enda, Rough hew them as wc will ” At this juncture the boy who had perched himself upon my knee, looked very earnestly and s:tid: ‘.Divinity shaped the end of your nose mighty curus.” I am certain that I wished somebo dy would spank the young rascal. — We talked of bills, mountains, vales, cataracts —I believe I said waterfalls, when the boy spoke up aud said: “Why sister’s got a trunk full of ’em up stairs; pap says they are made out of boss hair.” This revelation struck terror into me, and blushes into the cheeks of my fair companion. It began to be very apparent to me that I must be very guarded in what I said, lest said boy might slip in his re marks at uncalled for places; in fact I turned my attention to him. I told him he ought to go home with me, and see what nice chickens we had in the country. Unlucklily I mentioned a yoke of cales my brother owned. 'The word calves ruined all. The little fellow looked up and said: “Sister's got a dozen of them, but she don’t wear ’em only when sl\e goes up town on windy days.’ “Leave the room, unmannerly little wretch!” exclaimed Emily, “leave im mediately 1” “I know what you want me to leave the room for,” replied he, “you can’t fool me—you want to set in that man’s lap and kiss him like you did Bill Sim mons the other day—you can’t fool me. I’ll jes tell you. Gimme some candy hke he did, and I’ll go. You think because you’ve got the Grecian! Bend that you are smart. Guess I know a thing or two. lam mad at you, any how, ’cause pap would a bought me a top yesterday, if it hadn’t a been fer you getting them curls, dog gone yer I You needn’t turn red in the face, ’cause I can’t see the paint. There ain’t no use in winking at me with that glass eye of your’n ’cause I ain’t going out’n here, now that’s what’s the matter w r ith the purps. I don’t care if you are twenty-eight years old you ain’t no boss of mine you old fool.” That is all the story that John re lated. He says he don’t know how I he got out of the scrape. I Something Everybody Don’t Know. It is said by those supposed to know ! that the name Jesus CLrist occurs on ! ly once in the Old Testament, and that is in the second Book of Esdras in the Apochraphv, where these words are used: “For my son Jesus shall be re vealed with those that be with him.— After these vears shall mv son Christ j die.” A .Hosier's Love. Happily, a mother’s love is some- I thing upon which the great majority jof mankind can lot k back reverent ;ly aud fondly look back—for an oL , j active representation of its main ohar j nctensiics. Oh, the unselfishness of it! j How, months before it can be return ; cd by anything beyond a momentary ; dance of light iu her child’s ( ves, or a | curvature of its toothless mouth into a ; smile, cr a crow, or a fling of the limbs, | expressive of enjoyment, it pours it self out in seemingly wasteful supera bundance, intent on giving rather er than receiving, rejocing to minister rather than be ministered to, accept ing without a murmur days of care, someties decked with pain, and nights of broken rest, and rendering without stint unnumbered services which to others would be self-denial, but the irksomeness of which her ever-gushing affections, without a moment’s pause I of self-consciousness, cleanes away and J renders invisible! And then the pa- j tience and long suffering of it—the! faults it will cover with its ever-ready mantle, the negligences it will drop tears over in secret, and openly forgive; the affronts it will forgive, the disap pointments it will endure and conceal, the ingenuity it will display in devising plausible excuses and even satisfying reasons for manifest wrongs. There is nothing like it in this world of ours —nothing so morally beautiful; a self fed, self-sustaining love, which can traverse wide deserts, and, like the camel, keep itself alive upon its little hoards of remembered joys, when all other love fails —the one human love that spends itself wholly upon its ob jects, and the roots of which even in gratitude cannot entirely kill. Bnt when returned, as in- some measure it mostly will be, to what strength and beauty of self-sacrifice will it now grow! Y r et, under any circumstances, chiefly a sorrow-bearing love, of which the joys are cares, the duties of inflic tions of pain upon itself, the pride is nourished to be bestowed elsewhere, and the fondest gain is the sorest loss. About every true mother there is sanc tity of martyrdom—sad when she is no more in the body, her children see her with a ring of light around her head. It is Dark. —Tho following beauti ful sentiments are from Meisier Karle’s sketch book, entitled the “Night of Heaven.” It is full of touching ten-1 derness. “It is dark when the honest and honorable man sees the result of years swept cruelly away by the heartless adversary. It is dark when ho sees the clouds of sorrow gather round, and knows that the hopes and happi ness of othei’s are fading with his own. Bnt in that hour the memory of past integrity will be a true consolation; aud assure him even here on earth of gleams of hope in Keaveu. It is dark j when the dear voice of that sweet j child, once fondly loved, is no more j heard in murmurs. Dark when the j pattering foot no more resounds with- ; out the threshold, or ascends step by i step up the stairs. Dark when some | unknown air recalls the strains once j oft attuned to a childish voice now hushed in death ! Daikncss —but on ly the gloom which now heralds the day-spring of immortality and infinite light of Heaven.

Josh Billings says: “When I am in a crowded car, and a lady comes in, I! think it is tho duty of some other man j to get up and give her his seat. I look around in the car to see if any man in the crowd looks like making a move in that direction, and when I see them all keep tlieir seats, I hide my face behind my newspaper and blush for my sex A man named Gardner died at Am lieist, Va., a few days since, of a well developed case of glanders. It is sup posed he contracted the disease from some horse. The accounts from the West are gloomy, and telegrams from Chicago to-day repoi't the price of wheat at 87 cents. This is the lowest point reach ed on the present downward turn in prices, and the proportion of this 87 cents which the farmer gets does not ; actually pay the cost of production. ! nja u Mcacou *ixe A curious incident of S ibba h break ; ing occured in the parish of Hampton, j Conn., in the good old time. A certain jolly farmer, who lived sev | oral miles from the meeting house, was astonished to observe one Sunday mor ning his near neighbor, a pious dea con, hard at work in his hay-field, with ins sons and his “hired man.” But the truth was soon divined; the deacon, who took no daily paper and owned no almanac, —was, in short, not a literary man—had mistaken the day ; of the week, and his well-ordered fam-1 ily had adopted his error. I am sorry to add that, being more i of a wag than a saint, our farmer de clined to enlighten the innocent Sab bath-brer.ker, bnt drove on, chuckling, toward the sanctuary. The deacon looked after him, and, pausing in the midst of the broad swath he was cutting, exclaimed: “Es there ain’t neighbor Doolittle aud all the children, dressed up and goin’ visitin’ Saturda} mornin’ in the midst of hay in’ time. That beats all.” The next morning the deacon and the deacon’s wife, his sons and daugh ters, his hired man, the hired girl, and the “bound boy,” all arrayed iu their Sunday best, set out for meeting, in good order—the eldest sou on horse- j back, with the eldest daughter mount ed behind on a pillion; the deacon, with the rest of the family, in the big farm wagon drawn by a pair of stout roans, who jogged soberly along with their meekest Sunday look on. The family delusion extended even to the yellow dog, who trotted in the rear of the decorus turnout, without secular frisk, or bark, or gambol. On the way to the villago the deacon was surprised and shocked to see sev eral o| hi* fellow-townsmen at work in their fields. He invariably stopped to reprove them, but the joke of his own Sunday work had spread thorugh the neighbor hood, and was so much relished that no one eared to undeceive him. Each farmer’s excuse for Ins impiety was the necessity of getting in his hay bclore a shower, which he predicted was immi nent, though the sky was cloudless. — Expostulations and replies were some thing after this sort: “Why, Uncle Zebulon! this here is a fine day, with no appearance of rain.” “Jes" so, De- con; but the wind’s lit tle unstiddy, and I believe in takiu’ time by tue forelock.” “But, Uncle, it is tho Lord’s time, ” “Yes, Deacon; bnt 1 intend to send a load oi this heva hay to Parson Mose ly, and that will make it all square, I guess.” “Wka, neighbor Barlow, where un der the canopy do you find signs of rain to-day?” “In the corns, Deacon. When they begin to shoot I look out for a damp spell; audit always comes, soon or late.” “Why, Ephraim l’etingill; I am beat! You horse-shoeing on Sunday !” “Why, you know Deacon, ‘a merci ful man is merciful to his beast.’ ” After each specious response the dea con shook his head mournfully, and drove on He reached the village, j drove up to the meeting-house steps, where he and his hired man handed out the wcmen-folks and children, liis sen and daughter had already dis mounted at tho horse-block; and to gether they marveled much at the closed meeting-house doors and the vacant wagon-shed. There they wait ed, more and more amazed till several loungers from the village store gather ed around them, laughing and quizzing, till a terrible small boy called out, “What are you doin’ here Monday mornin’? Did you sleep over Sunday, or did you forget to put yo r beans in to the oven Saturday night?” Upon that hint they went riding and driving homeward at quite a festive rate oi speed, albeit iu a deeply morti fied and penitential state of mind. - * “Devil Look for UJassa and TaHe Poor Sara ” A good story is told of an old gen tleman in a Southern State, who being very ill, and supposing that liis end ivus approaching, gave direction that; au old slave, who bad been very faith ful to him, should be called into Lis room. Sam made his appearance, and with a joyful face drew near his mas ter, expecting that he was about to an nounce to him his purpose of leaviug him free. “You know,” said the master, “you have been a faithful servant to me, Sam.” “Yes, massa,” he replied. Poor Sam expected the next sen tence to contain his freedom. But said j the master kindly: “You know, Sam, I always treated you kindly.” “Yes, massa, you did.” Sam was now all anxiety to hear, and looked gratefully into the face of his dying master, and waited to hear the charming “Freedom!” But what was Sam’s disappointment when his master said: “In consideration of your long and faithful service, I have directed in my Will that when you die you shall be buried by my side.” After a long pause, Sam replied, “Me no like it indeed, massa, for some dark night Deb.d come, look for massa, and take poor Sam. ‘Do you ever take anything ?’ asked Sharp of S.ioozles. -Never, sir, except I’m unwell, and then my weakness is cognac. Just now I’m troubled with hollowness, and I don’t care if I do.’ When may young ladies be said to be economical?
