GREENESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, IXB2. AS ADTOBKGRAPEI Selected. To-morrow I am going to be aiar riod. 1 who have been set and >wti an old maid for an indefinite number of years. This expected event, creates quite a commotion io our hitherto quiet house hold. My un tlier says; ‘AVhat can I do without you 7” And my dear father, whose dark hair begins to be spritskled with silver, says mournfully, "I can not spare ouy Caroline,” though I think he is secretly pleased that his pet ‘Caro' is to have such a noble husband after all. My rougish brother Tout goes about the house singiug; There is no goose so gray, but soon or late, SheTltfind some honest gander for a mate. Aud I—all this seems strange to me. I cannot realize it that the bridal dress of snowy satin, with the gossamer veil and wreath of orange blossoms, can be for plain Caroline Hudson. But the strangest of all is, that I am to marry John Grunt —J hn Grant, whom 1 learned to love years ago, but all thoughts of whom I strove to put far from me. It is six years now since that morn ing in early summer, when we walked together through the green wood, the leaves stirred by a gentle wind, and birds singing their moroing songs.— We were a little apart from the rest of our party, and when we had gathered our hands full of wild flowers that were scattered in profusion at our feet, we. sat down upon a felled oak to wait for them. I was happy on that June morning, as I sat on that old tree by the side of John Grant, while he wreathed the buds and blossoms and the green leaves of the trailing con volvulus in the ’braids of my brown hair. We did not talk much that morning, and we had sat in silence several mo ments, when John said : “Caroline I want to tell you some- thing.” It was not the words that made my heart beat so and the hot blood to rush to my cheeks and forehead, for we had known each other a long time and he bad often made a confidante of me but it was the low tone full of new and strange tenderness that thrilled my whole being. Ido not know, but perhaps my voice trembled a little, as 1 said : “Well, what is it. John 7” “Carrie dear,” but the sentence was not finished —just then the rest of the party made their appearance, and effectually put an end to all confiden tial conversation. The next day John Grant left Tun bridge on business, which required his presence for several weeks. I did not see him for some time after his return and when he called at last, there was a something uudufinable in his manner, but yet a change, a restraint, which told me that those words once on the lips would not be spoken. Months came and went, and again he left h me ostensibly for business, but it was rumored that a beautiful young girl at Ferny Coombes, whise acquaintance he had made, was the real cause of bis frequent visits to Devonshire. In it little while it was said, and upon good authority, that John Grant was engaged to be married to Mary Keating; and it was also said that she was very young and beautilul. Never till then, was the secret of my own heart revealed to me; but then I knew how I had loved him—how all hope, all joy, all earthly happiness was cen tered in him —even now I shudder when I think of that time, when life seemed such a heavy burden, and I longed for a time to lay it down in the grave, but I could not; a thorny path opened before me, and I was to walk into it. * * * * * John Grant returned to Tunbridge soon after bis engagement, and in a few weeks Mary Keating came to Elm wood, on a visit to his sister. Soon alter her arrival I was invited to a party to be given during her stay. I dreaded to go, and yet I oould not stay away; how plain I looked as i stood before my dr sing glass that night, in a plain silk with a few scar let verbenas in my hair 1 Did I wear them beeause he had said ouee they contrasted well with my dark hair 7 1 was early, and of all the girls in the room Mary Keating was the most love ly. Ido not wonder he loved you, Maty; you were beautiful, as you came floating into the room, in a dress of light uiuslin, your golden curls fil ing ov.r your sweet childish face, and your blue eyes running over with hap piness, and he—but 1 dared not look at him long, for I was not very 6lrong, In the course of tit# evening I was introduced to her; and strange as it was, from that moment she seemed to cling to tne. She was a child in art lessness, and soon began talking of •John,” asking it 1 knew him, etc. “How strange ho never mentioned you —he toid me of so many of his friends. “J,hn —John,” she called,us he passed us, ‘ why didn't you tell me about Miss Hudson 7—you spoke of so many others.” Our eyes met for an instant, and then 1 said, pitying his embarrassment: “He has so many friends it isn’t at all singular that he should have for gotten one.” But I knew then, as I do now, that he had not forgotten tne. Just then, looking up, I saw in a mirror opposite the reflection oT our little group and —John Grant ’. When I saw illo contrast between Mary Keating and myseif. I forgave him, if I did not before. Not that I was so very plain ldo not think I was—but the was so beautiful, so confiding and loving, no one could help being charm ed with her; aud l could not blauie him, for he bad always been a great admirer of the beautiful. Mary Keating came to so r v me" fre quently while she stayed a* f.liter’s, sometimes, not often, accompanied by John. It was an autumn afternoon, lull of clouds and sunshine, when she came to make her farewell call. He was with her, watching, her every movement with loving pride, nod vet it seemed to me that he regarded her somewhat as a beautiful plaything winding her yellow cutis around his fingers aud calling her pet names. We went out into the garden to gather some flowers, and as she ran about laughing, talking and picking flowers ami wreathing them in her hair she seemed a lovely and bewitching child John had gradually lost his constrained and embarrassed manner when with me, and excepting that wo never ap proaeiied personalities in our conver sation, oqr intercourse was getting to be something as it once was. ' Our tastes in many things were sim ilar. We bad read and admired the same authors and upon most of the important subjects couuected with hu man life, our thoughts were alike. We were speak ing of some work wc had lately read, aud were quite interested in discussing its merits, when Mary suddenly checked her happy play, and with a grave face walked silently to John’s side. At last she said: “You never talk that way to me, John, but it’s because I don’t know enough.” 15 ‘ You know enough for me, dear,” he answered; but she wont on: I shall be but a ‘child wife.’ Caro line would suit you much better." ‘•Allowing you to be judge.’’ I said, laughingly, for I saw John could nut answer readily. We said no more on the subject,, but I think John asked himself more than once that day : “Is Mary right 7” When Mary bade me good-bye, that afternoon, she wound bar white arms around my neck and kissed me, saying, in her gentle voice : “Write to me olten, Caroline, and teach tne to be worthy of him.” And she went out the gate, through the hop garden lean ing or. his arm, the warm sunlight fall ing on her golden hair, making her look very beautiful. Soon after this John Grant left Elm wood, and took a farm on Ins own ac count in the west of Englaud, adjoin ing that of old Mr Keating. I seldom heard and never mentioned his name. Mary wrote*!requcntly to me during the winter; her letters were like her self, graceful and charmiug, full of love and confidence She spoke much ol John—how proud she was of him, what letters he wrote, so much better than hers, and wasn't it strange that he should love such a child as she was! She went on writing in this way lor several mouths; but at length there was a change in her manner of spenk ing of John; it seemed as though she were not quite as happy as she had been; she said she began to be ditt eiurageil about ever knowing any more, and liiuteJ that John was getting dissatisfied with her—generally ending her letters with some anecdote about her favorite eat or canary. It was not long after this, when she began to speak of her cousin “Harry Smith,” who was so agreeable, and yet he didn’t know a hit more than she did. A month or two after this, I wus not much surprised alien she wrote that her engagement with John Grant was broken by mutual conaeut—“They were not at all suited to each other and no doubt would both he happier,” she said, “for he knew so much aud she so little.” Sho concluded with a long account of her new black kitten Topsy, which seemed then to be the cue object which engrossed all her attention. Two years passed, and 1 seldom heard John Grant’s name mentioned, and if I thought of him at all, I be lieved I had conquered uiy old attach ment—my life flowed on quietly and serenely. 1 tried to be useful to others and in regular employment und recre ation lw is content. Was there a ca pacity for higher happiness unemploy ed 7—a craving in my woman’s nature unsupplied 7 One year ago how well I re member the day !—I was silting quietly reading in the fading light of an October sky, when, hearing a rustle among the,)eve that lay thick upon the gravel walk, I look ed up an ! saw John Grant ap proaching the house. When he was last there, she was with him, but he was alone now, and my heart’s quick throbbing told me of his errand. Was I weak and wantii g iri self respect, when after he had told tne Ml—told me that although he was fascinated wilh a beautiful and lov ing child, deep down in his heart had always laid a love for tne; though in the firet glow of his pas sion for Mary he was hardly con scious of it. i/ow he had thought from the calm indifference of my manner, that 1 had never cored for him; how since he had beet: again free, lie had been afraid to make known his love, feeling that he h and acted dishonorably in the past. Was I weak minded and lacking in womanly pride, when after he told mo this, and asked in trembling tones: “Could I forget the past, and be his own Caroline?”—all rriy old love came back to tne, and with more confidence than I had felt for years before, I Uul my hand* in his and said: “John Grant, I will be vours?” And so, as I have said before, to-morrew ts fixed for my wedding day. We do not give each other the wild, unthinking passion of early youth, but a deep and strong affection, purified and tnado strong by the experience of years —a love that we can ask the blessing of Heaven upon; and when my lips at th? altar utter the solemn words, “I, Caroline Hudson, [take thee, John Grant, to love, cherish and obey,” in eiy inmogt soul they will be joyfully repeated—“to love, cherish and to obey.” John has sold his farm at Ferny Coombes, and our new home is near Ashford— the old house of Elmwood was taken down to make roesn, frr the railway. We neither of us ex pect to pass over our path of life without meeting with occasional storms; but we place our trust in One who is both willing ard able to assist those who put their hand cheerfully to the work, and with as it will be both a work of trust and love. -©• —New Saddle-, flamers and Bridles just received by C. A Davis <s• Cos. BAu-man** ForiinH:i, Editors Chren. & Const.; I write to thank yon tor the handsome manner in which you have seer* fit to refer to mysell in your editorial beaded “the Fur man farm und theory. ’ From the conclusion arrived at therein, and reiterated in a subsequent ar'.jfile entitled “Furman's Formula, ’ that mv system in the bands of otl.ets would be likely te prove a failure. I must beg to differ and under the circuussiaDces feel that perhaps it is tlue the public that 1 should as sort that difference, and give the reasons upon which it is based. It is an oil saying end one in which there is much philosophy and more truth that “there is more in the man than there is in the land,” aid this saw would seem to boar]you out io your conclusion. Take two men with equal advan tages of soil, capital, an>4 educa' tion andstait them to farming,and the one will grow rich and pros, p r wht’e the other is sold ut by the sheriff and starves. This i9 true of men in every calling in life, and yet that it is so should be no disparagement upon any system c method, that piopsrly pursued ajf and Carried out is a certain road to suc cess, as when trod with caution and intelligence. Even with a system) the inevita ble result of which is perfect sue cess if perfectly applied, fee arrive at that perfection; hut. ’leyeftbe,? less, every attempt ;to re-ch per fection brings about growth and development, and ns a certain re sultant, an amount either greater or less of improvement in methods aud results. It may be that not runny of the farmers who read Mr. David Dick son’s book and adopted his system referred to by you, were as success ful as Mr Dickson; but the fact is uncontroverted that tbe system of cultivation advocated and intro ducedjbv Mr. Dickson has been generally adopted by intelligent farmers throughout the South, and has constituted an important factor in what lit le development we have bad in our agricultural interests. The system which I havo adopted and advocate (for with roe it is no longer a theory) is cue which 1 am satisfied will at no distant day prove tLe salvation of the agricul turists of.this country. Without old slipshod method, and unsatis factory results, farming has fallen into disrepute, yin impression pre vails, and justly too, that with the prevailing system thoro is no mo ney to be mads in this country at farming, and we h ive had no ex ample as yet with us of a second Cincinnati!#, so that no induce ment is held out to the brains of tbe country to draw them toward me soil as a probable source from whence wealth or honor are to hi derived. With my system properly ap plied, returns and remunerative one3 are assured, and surely the fact that all who follow in my foot steps may not equal my results, should be no ground for discour agement and the prediction that tny system in the hands of others will prove a failure. Once let that system be under stool (and simplicity itself, for all that it does is to fellow nature,) and its application will, I predict, he general, and generally success ful.
