' TIRED, SO TIRED ”
[The fallowing poem appeared borne years
ago, and w;i« greatly admired at the tini o:
Tired, so tired!
Heart and soul and brain
Utter the same sad plaint,
Feel the same dull heavy pain ;
Tired of the ceaseless struggle,
Os the everlasting strife,
Os the weary waiting and yearning
That the children ol' uteu call “use.”
Tired of listening for voices
That never wiil come any more,
Waiting lor the sound of footsteps
That have passed to the other shore.
Weary of rejoicing and sorrowing,
Lot mg and hoping in vain,
Tired of endless striving
For that which I never shall gain.
Weary of thinking, thinking,
O soul! wilt thou never eease ?
Worn out, aud tired, and weary,
Shalt thou never know peace
• In Heaven ?
Ah ! even that word
tfecnis a meaningless one to-night,
For it scciueth my tear-dimmed eyes
Could not hear Heaven's glorious light ;
That I’d Weary of the endless singing,
And my filtering, stammering tongue
Could not raise one “Hallelujah,”
Could not join the angels' song;
And amid the bliss of Heaven,
The bright angelic throng,
1 should still be tired, weary,
And long to be alone.
Tired, so Hied!
All earth luk.es up the sad refrain, „
Tired, so tired!
Murmur the wind and rain.
Oh! for rest,
That heart and brain aud will
Might cease their aching, thinking, working,
And be still.
Oblivion’s sleep would be so sweet,
No more to know
Aught of life’s yearnings, hopes, or fears,
Its joys or woe.
A dreamless sleep, though ages pass
Still to sleep oil, in perfect rest.
Eternal life, 1 know 'lis great,
Hut oh! to-night, it seems a weight
My spirit cannot hear.
I cannot think of life without its strife, its cares;
How can my soul live on,
And yet its suffering gone?
Eternal life! No, far more sweet
Js uever-endiug, dreamless sleep.
And yet, O coward soul!
What dost thou say ?
Wouidst fling thy heritage,
Blood bought, away ?
Father, forgive; 1 know Thy word is true.
I do believe in Heaven is perfect rest,
All sorrows cease;
Thy weary children there find perfect peace.
And yet, O God 1 forgive,
i ki»w, but cannot leel;
Teach me to trust Thee more,
These wild thoughts still.
Tired, so tired!
Each thought comes with a throb of pain.
Hut anoluer morn will come,
I shall be strong again ;
This weakness, weariness will pass away.
God’s word is sure, “Thy strength will oe
Even as thy day.” t
To-morrow strength vvi.l come to meet life’s
toil:
Bravely bear sorrow’s sting,
And Immortality will seem
A glorious thing.
But not to-night. My tear-dimmed eyes
Cannot pierce life’s deep mysteries,
God’s glorious purpose see ;
Yet L do trust in Thee.
O God! Thy sutfering earth-child keep ;
Thou givest thy beloved,
Aud 1 am weary, “sleep.”
THE CHILD'S DREAM OF PARA
DISE.
BY M. J. O’C ALLAIIAN.
"Nemo ante obit urn potent dice beat as.”
I saw a land of beauteous woods and holds,
A laud of hills with lovely vales oetweeu,
Where every tree its wafted fragrance yields,
And stands rejoicing in its robe of green.
The flowers around my path in beauty stood,
Like a sweet baud of liuked sisters sleeping,
While the birds’ songs within the dark, green
wood,
Came amid smiling, though I wakened weep
ing, .
Mother! what land was that?
“W;w it a land where goodly trees are seen ?
Where fairest tlowers of every clime do meet ?
And hast thou stood upon its hills of green
To view its spreading beauties at thy feet?”
Tall trees were there, where shadows fell like
balm
Upon the tlowers that round their bases
grew;
And iu the stillness of that deep, deep calm,
The music from their branches fell like dew ;
And there were silver streams withiu the vales,
Whose waters pure the willows were em
bracing, 0 ,
And nighingaies that toldfce wondrous tales, 1
Far mid the shade of palm-trees interlacing. |
Mother! what laud w:is that ?
“And was it brighter than thine own sweet
home ?
And were its flowers the ones thou lovest
best —
And wert thou happy when thy feet didst roam
Far in the valleys where thy dreams did
rest ?”
Methouglit our home was where the roses
twine,
A bower of bloom beneath those summer
skies;
The shamroc k green and lofty eglantine
Were there, w ith violets of a thousand dyes ; :
Upon tlie far-otf misty lulls of blue
A glory, as of countless suns, was shining,
And m my heart a gush of fondness grew,
While that deep joy around my soul was
twiuiug.
Mother! what land is that?
“And didst thou see the dwellers of that
land ?”
1 saw them on the hill and iu the grove,
And white-winged children led me by the
hand,
And pressed around me with their looks of
love;
They sweetly warbled in an unknown air,
Beside a fountniu that was ever flowing,
Till every singer seemed to me as fair
As if Heaven’s light upon each lace was glow -
ing.
Mother! what land is that ?
“It is the land of Paradise, my child,
Os every land, the brightest and the best!
Where sorrow of its tears is all beguiled;
And weary pilgrims find eternal rest.
There may’st thou follow when my steps have
gone,
Before thee to that laud beyond the skies,
And waking to behold a brighter suig
Thou’lt softly murmur with a sweet sur
prise—
■ Mother! wiiat land is this?’ ”

JACK OF CLUBS.
Captain Jack, so grim and dirty,
With his Modoes threc-and-thirty,
For the troops of Uncle Sam
Doesn’t seem to care particularly;
But, with Modoes thirty-three,
Dodges like the Frenchman’s flea,
Shooting little slugs of lead
All around his lava bed,
Wrapping round his rugged form
Suits of stolen uniform,
Punctuating all his talk
Witli the knife and tomahawk,
Begging his pale face friends to spare
Mementoes iu the shape of hair—
Stock to fill his chignon store
When the battle’s diu is o’er.
Trump of Indiaus, Captain Jack,
“Kight bower” of the “cut-throat” pack!
Though five hundred troops surround him,
He will not be caught—confound him!
A Hartford man has left $20,000 for
the support of lame horses.
| TIIE CHARACTER OF CHRIST.
I can attempt no analysis of this
wondrous character. It needs no
vindication. The moral and religious
instinct of the world has confessed it.
Eighteen centuries of the keenest
criticism has only exalted it to the
very highest place of human admira
tion and homage. The uniform ver
dict of friend and foe has been, “I
find no fault in Him.” Jesus Ciirist
is the one perfect man in the world’s
history; the one hope of a world of
sinful men ; so divine that the loftiest
and purest do worship to Him—so
human that the most, polluted and
lost can weep at His feet, and little
children can smile in His arms while
He blesses them. His was a life in
which there was no fault to be cor
rected, no stain to be washed out.—
Other men become good by learning,
by growth, by suffering; Jesus was
good, as pure when His life began as
when it ended; advancing maturity
was His only change. All human
j excellencies blend in him in perfect
proportion, an ideal of moral syinrne
, try which has neither defect nor ex- ;
cess. His was a wise, mature good -
I ness; not as being ignorant of evil, !
j but as being infinitely above it. His
self-consciousness is unlike that of all
other men. Moses and Isaiah may
tremble before] God, and acknowl
edge their sins; Jesus never confesses
defect, never indicates any feeling of
unworthiness; no tear of penitence
rolls down His cheek, no prayer for
forgiveness escapes His lips. When
He speaks concerning Himself, it is
to assert llis own faultlessness, and
to avow Himself the source of other
men’s spiritual life. So transcendent
I was He, that from the very be
| ginning men revered His goodness as
perfect, and bowed before it as divine.
Virtues almost incongruous blended
in Him—greatness and gentleness, j
holiness and piety, strength and sym- j
pathy. He is nobler than the great
est man, more tender than the gen
tlest waman.
Earnest and absorbed in His work,
with a passion that made him a mar
tyr, He never even suggests the im
pulsive enthusiast, the self-secluded
zealot; Ile is always calm, clear, and
wise. He verges toward no extreme.
He is equally remote from asceticism
and laxity; He repudiates no lawful
enjoyment; He sanctions no single
excess, lie always preserves the
golden mean. He wondrously holds
the balance of life. He plants His
spiritual kingdom, neither in convent j
nor cell, neither in church nor in rit- j
ual observance, but in the market;
and the house, in the secret place of |
mail’s solitude, in the inmost recesses j
of liis soul. He does not call the
world into llis presence; He comes
into the world, and sanctities all
tilings in it by accepting them as ser-1
vice to Himself. The very concep-1
tion of his kingdom is a marvel.— i
Making Himself its centre, He founds
everything in it upon His own person
and work. In His lofty self-con
sciousness He speaks as none of the
world’s instructors have dared to
speak, prefers claims of which none
of them ever thought. The kingdom
that He conceives is so holy that the
purest church ever falls short of it; it
is so catholic that it includes men of
every age, and race, and character;
“every nation and kindred, people
and tongue.”
And this conception originated a
niongthe mountains of Galilee, in the
mind of a village carpenter, who
knew little of the world—its nooks,
its politics, its history, its geography,
its races—who was brought up among
the notions and prejudices of the most
illiterate and exclus veoi ancient civ
ilized peoples, a id who was put to
death at an age when Socrates had
not yet become a sage. He put forth
his conception, moreover, at the very
beginning of His teaching. It did
not shape itself gradually, as His
thought was instructed and stimulate
ed by experience. His iirst procla
mation was of this spiritual, holy,
and catholic kingdom of heaven.—
There is no indication of either
growth or modification. The very
first word of this young carpenter of
Nazareth was that He was the Spir
itual King of a universal and spiritu
al kingdom ; the progress of which
He declared should continue through
I all the world’s history; the consum
mation of which should be the con
version and service of all its peoples.
I The entire question of Christianity
may safely be staked upon the mere
conception of Christ’s character.—

Free Thought.
General Butler paid some SBOO,OOO, i
several weeks since, for three hun- j
dred acres of land lying on the north
ern limits of Washington City. Real;
estate men wondered and said that
the shrewd Benjamin had for once !
been overreached in a trade. A
Washington special to the Cincinnati
Commercial says that the commis
sioners appointed by Congress to se
lect a site for anew Presidential
mansion have determined to recom
mend the purchase of this very tract.
Butler is doubtless overwhelmed
with astonishment at this intelli
gence. The shock to his nervous sys
tem will, we fear, utterly prostrate
him. A site for a Presidential man
sion is good for SIO,OOO per acre. As
Butler has stumbled on this piece of
good luck, let him be magnanimous
and divide with the commissioners.
They don’t expect anything of the
sort, we know, but it is best to be
magnanimous. The people owe a
large debt of gratitude to tiie father
of ttie back pay grab, and will rejoice
to hear of Butler’s accidental and
wholly unexpected land speculation.
Truly it is better to be born lucky
I than with a set of gold spoons in one’s
mouth. — Courier-Journal.
In a recent address delivered be
fore the Ladies’ Monumental Memo
rial Association at Frascati, Father
Ryan, the tirst poet genius of the
South, pointing to a heavy bank of
clouds that obscured the setting sun,
among which vivid lightning inces
santly played, beautifully said:
“As yon sun goes clown behind a
dark cloud, so went down the hopes
of those engaged in the struggle for
j Southern liberty; and as you now see
the lightnings flashing and blazing
I athwart that cloud, so leaped the
I bolts of hate and persecution. But

I our people; and as the sun will rise
again on the morrow, so shall event
ually rise up in all its splendor the
I now"down trodden and partially ob*
j scured cause of right and justice.

CARTERSY ILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, 1873.
“THE SOUTH WILL RISE
AGAIN.”
Upon a recent occasion in Wash
ington, Judge Embry, in introducing
a Southern lady to an audience of la
dies and gentlemen, paid the follow
ing handsome tribute to the women
of the South:
“Ladies and Gentlemen: Twenty
years ago all the Southern States were
represented at this Capital by many
of the loveliest and most accomplish
ed ladies of America. They were in
deed the queens ot American society
in the highest intellectual culture,
and in more than princely bearing or
Oriental beauty. Hut war, with the
devastations that follow in its train,
lias, for more than a decade, swept
with relentless fury over all the fair
and fruitful fields of the South. It
has desolated countless happy homes,
curbed many noble ambitions, crush
ed many bright hopes and anticipa
tions, reduced to poverty and want
thousands reared in affluence and
wealth, and has hung the symbols of
mourning throughout all the borders
of that sunny land. This will not
last always. Such a land, with such
a soil and climate, andj above all,
such a race of people, were not des
tined by God and nature to utter
ruin.
“Her stricken and wasted fields
will ripen again with their golden
harvests, and her gardens will send
the fragrance of their fiowers over all
the laud. She will rise from her sor
row and humiliation, from her pov
erty and her ashes, because her very
ashes will enrich her.
“Here and there some child of ge
nius, inspired by the historic memo
ries and the grand historic; names of
Virginia and the Carolines, of Geor
gia and Alabama, of Mississippi and
Louisiana, and of the land of Clay
and Jackson, aspires to rival the for
mer intellectual vigor aud the ancient
glory of the States that were once the
power and pride of the republic. One
is fiere to-night .”
These brave and good words found
utterance in Washington; and the
verdict, South at least, will be that
Judge Emory, in honoring the wo
men of the South, does honor to his
own head and heart. —Columbia South
Carolinian.
LONG SERMONS.
Spurgeon, the eminent Divine of
England, ventures the following ad
vice to Ministers of the Gospel:
The speaker’s time should he meas
ured out of wisdom. If he is desti
tute of discretion, and forgets the cir
cumstances of his auditors, he will
annoy them more than a little. In
one house the pudding is burning, in
another the child is needing its moth
er, in a third a servant is due in the
family; the extra quarter of an hour’s
prosiness puts all out of order. A
country hearer once said to his pas
tor, “When you go on beyond half
past four, in the afternoon service,
do you know what I always think
about?” “No,” said the orator.
“Well, then, 1 tell you plainly; it is
not about what you are preaching,
but about my cows. Tney want
milking, and you ought to have con
sideration for them, and not keep
them waiting. How would you like
it if you were a cow?” This last re
markable inquiry suggested a good
deal of reflection in the mind of the
divine to whom it was proposed, and
perhaps it may have a similar bene
ficial effect upon others who ought
to confess their long preachings as
among the chief of tneir short-com
ings.
in general, a great sermon is a
great evil. Length is the enemy of
strength. The delivery of a discourse
is like the boiling of an egg; it is re
markably easy to over-do it and so to
spoil it. You may physic a man till
you make him ill, and preach to him
till you make him wicked. From
satisfaction to satiety there is but a
single step; a wise preacher never
wishes his hearers to pass it. Enough
is as good as a feast, and better than
too much.
LET ALL THE PEOPLE SING.
We have to learn that one of the
most powerful ways of preaching the
gospel is to sing* it. No power can
stand before Christian song. The
time was when Mear and Antioch
and Windham and Dundee stood
with the strength of archangels to
marshal the troops of God ; but, for
the last thirty years, our churches
have.been going back in sacred mu
sic. We have been under servitude
to the artistic tastes of the world. In
most of our churches, four persons
are delgated to do this service. With
a whip of scorpions let the nuisance
be scourged from the house of God ;
and, since no one can repent for us,
and no one can die for us, let us sing
out our sorrows over sin, and our tri
umphs over the last enemy, and our
anticipation of glory. When you die
for me, and open the gate of Heaven
to my departing soul, then I will let
you do my singing. O sing, ye who
are bought by love divine, and who
are on the way to grandeur immortal
—sing! While 1 stand here and ar
gue about the things of eternity, you
may argue back, and you may be
more skillful in your argument
against religion than I am skillful iu
my argument for religion ; but who
could resist the holy influence when,
last Sunday night, this audience, like
the voice of many waters, lifted its
| unanimous song:
Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive,
Let a repenting rebel live;
Are not Thy mercies large and free V
M iy not a sinner trust in Thee?
— Taltnadge.
A Druggist’s Mistake. —The
Water bury American says: A story
in circulating which tells how a fair
! young lady went to a drug store and
told the man to fix her up one dose
of castor oil, and to mix it up with
something to take the taste away.
The man told her to wait. —In a few
moments he asked her if she felt like
taking a glass of soda water. She
aeccepted the invitation and drank
the beverage. Presently she asked
■ the roller of pi 11s why he didn’t give
her the castor oil. The man smiled
a triumphant smile, and said: “Mad
am, you have taken it I mixed a
fearful dose with that soda water !”
| She turned pale; she sank into a
j chair ; she gasped: “Immortal love
I wanted it for my mother !’’
“John,” said a stingy old hunk to
j his hired man, as he was taking his
j dinner, “do you know how many
I pancakes you have eaten ?” “No.”
I “Well, you’ve eaten fourteen.”
j “Weil,” said John, “you count and
I’ll eat.”
TALENT AND RICHES.
Nothing is more common than to
see rank of riches prefered to talent,
and yet nothing is more absurd.
That talent is of a much higher or
der of power than riches’ might be j
proved in various ways; being so \
much more iudeprivable and indes
tructible, so much more above all ac
cident of change, and all confusion of j
chance. Hut the peculiar superiori
ty oftalent over riches, may be best
discovered from lienee; that the in-j
fluence of talent will always be the
greatest in that government which
is pure; while the influence of riches I
will always be the greatest in that
government which is most corrupt.
So that from the preponderance off
talent, we may always infer the j
soundness and vigor of the common- j
wealth; but from the preponderance i
of riches, its <1 it.ige and degenera-J
tion. That talent confers an inequal
ity of a higher order than rank, ’
would appear from various views of j
the subject, and most particularly j
from this: many a man may justly
thank his talent for his rank, hut no
man has ever yet been able to return
the empliment, by thanking his rank
for his talent. When Leonardo de
Vinci died, his sovereign exclaimed:
“I can make a thousand lords, but
not one Leonardo.” Cicero observed
to a degenerate patrician : “I am the
first of my family, hut you are the
last of yours.” And since his time,
those who value themselves merely
on their ancestry, have been compar
ed to potatoes—ill 1 that is good of j
them is under the ground; perhaps
it is but fair that nobility should have
defended to them, since they never
could have raised themselves to it.
A Good Criterion. —The Cincin
nati Enquirer says with much point j
and force:
“The character of Grant is better j
shown in his appointments to office,
than in almost any thing else. We
see in them liis utter and shameless i
disregard for even an unanimous]
public opinion. We see his selfish-j
ness, his ignorance and his incapaci
ty. Thus, for instance, one Wm. if.
Clark was elected to Congress from
the IState of Texas, in 1808, by 8,000
majority. In 1871 he was beaten by,
4,000 votes. Hut the Governor, Da
vis, through his influence, had the
impudence to give him his certificate
of election. The matter was brought
before the House, and strongly par
tisan as] it was, Clark being a Re-!
publican and his competitor a Demo- I
crat, only one vote was given for his ]
retention in liis seat. His competi
tor, with that exception, was unani
mously admitted, so plain was the’
case. Thusdisgraced and humilia
ted, Clark returned home and was ]
almost immediately appointed by]
Grant postmaster of the city of Gat- j
veston, a position worthy of being
filled by a trusty and honorable man.
llis Custom House Collector, Patten,
at Galveston, tilled the elevated
place of a Confederate teamster dur
ing the war, and, it is supposed, emi
grated from New York during the
interval of darkness between two
days. He is a miserable carpet-bag
ger, destitute of either duty or integ
rity. Os this sort of metal does the!
President fill his highest offices in J
the South. Is it any wonder that de- ]
faication and corruption are the or
derof the day ?”
Another Wild Man.—A corres
pondent of the Cleveland Banner,
(Tenn) says: The horrible sight of a
hairy man has been seen in Fannin
County, Georgia. He is wild and
monstrous—he Mas been seen in hou
ses carrying off women and children,
lie is eight feet high, and is covered
all over with black curly hair. He
started from a house lately with a
woman in his arms, but by the ap
proach of two men she was released.
The settlement was alarmed, and
pursuit given on horseback. After
a hard ride the monster was overta
ken, and a terrible tight ensued, in
which a man by the name of Hair
crow was killed, and a horse had his
tail torn off, and the pursuers were
forced to retreat and leave the field
in the posession of the monster.
The settlers are arming themselves
with guns and watching for him.
He makes his appearancs just before
or in time of a rain.
A few years since there was a Pres- j
byterian minister at Columbus, Miss i
who had a horror of shouting in
church, which fact was well known ;
to his congregation. One day, after :
he had preached a very spiritual ser
mon, an old lady was observed to
leave the church in a very hasty
manner. Meeting her a few days al
ter, the minister asked why she had
rushed from the church so suddenly
the Sunday before? “Well,” she
responded, “the fact is, 1 wasso filled
with grace in listening to your ser
mon, that I found 1 couldn’t contain
myself, so I ran over to the Metho
dist church across the way and shout
ed.”
Young men who contemplate mat
rimony with the expectation of “liv
ing with the old man,” had better
steer clear of this county. A worthy
farmer who has several lovely daugh
ters was asked by one of these “home
hunters” if “Miss Mary marries will
she still live at your home to make
your life bright and happy ?” He
skinned one eye, and replied : “No,
sir! When one of iny gals swarms
she must hunt her own hive.”—Cov

The New York Sun, in its last is
sue, says:
“The main pillars whereon the su
premacy of the Republican party
| now rests, are the votes of ignorant
negroes and carpet-bag adventurers
in the South on the one hand, and on
| the other corruption in every depart
ment of the public service all over
| the country.”
This may bea trifling personal but
it’s the way they put things out
West. A St. Louis editor, in speak
ing of a brother ink-slinger, says,
“He is young yer, but he can sit as
his desk and brush the cobwebs from
the ceiling with his ears.”
A white infant has beee found in
the posession of two negroes in At
| lanta. They state that a wealthy
gentleman in Savannah paid them
to take charge of it.
A reporter for a Wisconsen paper
! writes : “Those w in* personally know
i our esteemed fellow citizen, Colonel
I , will regret to hear that he
, was brutally assaulted last evening,
! put not killed.”

HE WOULD HAVE HIS GAR
DEN.
We suppose there is a time that
comes to every man when he feels
he should like to have a garden. If
h“ takes such a notion he will tell his
wife of it. This is the first mistake
he makes, and the ground thus lost is
never fully recovered. She draws
her chair lip to his, and lays one hand
on his knee, and purses up her lips
into a whistle of expectation—the
vixen— and tells about mother’s gar
den, and how nice it is to have vege
tables fresh from the vines every
morning, and she will go right out
and plan the whole thing herself,
And so shed'. km. He takes his spade,
and works himself into, a perspira
tion, and she tramps around under a
frightful sun lam net, and gets un
der his feet a \ 1 shrieks at the won in
and 1 Jos 's her shoe; and mak«*s him
firsr vexed, aud th«>n mad, and then
ferorfous. After she garden is spad
ed begets the seed,and finds that she
has been thoughtful enough to open
the papers, and empty thirteen vari
eties of different vegetables into one
dish. This loads him to step out
doors where he can commune with
nature alone for a moment. Then he j
takes up the seed and a hoe, and ai
line and two pegs, and startes for the j
garden. And then she puts on that 1
awful bonnet, and brings up the rear j
with a long handled rake and a pock-!
et full of beaus and petunia seed and
dahlia bulbs. While he is planting;
the corn she stands on the cucumber
hills, and rakes over the seed pan.
Tffen she puts the rake handle over j
her shoulder and the rakes teeth
into his hair, and walks over the
other beds. He don’t find the squash
seed »ntil she moves, and then he
digs them out of the earth with his
thumb. She plants the beet seed
herself, putting about two feet of
earth and sod upon them. Then she
takes advantage of his absorption in
other matters, and puts down the
petunia seed in one spot, and after
wards digs them up, and puts them
down in another place. The beans
she conceals in the earth wherever
she can find a place, and puts the
bulbs in the cucumber hills. Then
she tips over tin* seed-p:vu again, and
apoligiz s, and steps on two of the
best tomato plants, and says, “Oh !
mv !” which in no way resembles
what he says. About this time she
discovers a better place lor the petun
ia seed, hut have forgotten where she
put them, she proceeds to find them,
succeeds in unearthing pretty much !
everything that lias been put down.
After confusing things so, there is no
earthly possibility of ever unravelling
them again, she says the sun is kill
ing her, and goes over to the fence
where 'die stands four hours, telling
the woman next door about an aunt
of hers who was confined to her bed
for eleven years, and had eight doc
tors from the city, but nothing would
give her any relief until an old lady
—but you have heard it before. The
next uay a man comes to his ofliee to
get the "pay for a patent seed-sower
which his wife has ordered and he
no more than gets away before the
patten tee of anew lawn-mower comes
in with an order for ten dollars, and
he in turn is followed by the eorn
shelier man, and the miserable gar
dener starts for home to head off the
robbers, and finds his wife at the gate
with his own hat on, and about to
close a bargain with a smooth-faced
individual for a two hundred dollar
mowing-machine, and a pearl-handl
ed , ivory-mounted hay-cutter. He
first knocks the agricultural imple
ment agent on the head, and then
drags the miserable woman into the
house, and, locking the door, gives
himself up to his emotions. — Dan
