HAWKINSVILLE, GA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1869.
TWENTY YEARS AGO.
How w.udnjjg* are the changes, Jim.
Since twenty years ago,
When gala wore woolen dresses. Jim,
And boy* wore par.u of tow ;
When sh«rt* were made of calf skin
And socks of homespun wool.
And children did a half-day’s work
Before the hour of school
The girls took music lessons, Jim,
I'pon the spinning-wheel.
And practiced laic and early, Jim,
On the spindle swift and reel;
The boys would ride bare-Uaek to mil),
A do*.*u miles or so.
And hurry off Before teas .lav.
Some twenty yours ago.
The people rode to meeting, Jim,
1 In sterol,.dead of
A»'i Wagous rode a* e»*y, Jim,
A buggies now-4-dsys;
And oxen answered well for team,
Though now they'd be tie. slow,
For people lived uot half so fast,
Some twenty years ago.
O well do I rem* mis r. .lint,
That Wilson's patent stove,
That father bought ami paid for, Jim,
In cloth otH-gsl* had wove;
And bow the u. ikhlsir- wondered,
II hen we got the tiling to go I
They said mould host and kill us all.
Some t ,vonly vcar- si .
Yes,everything p dlfftren'., Jiin,
Emit wl.s.t it used to h .v.
For men am always tamperiti;:. Jim.

everybody to know our uffaire. 1 wafted
uutil breakfast, and she didn't come. She
usually eamc to liroahfhst w itli the buard

The family can..- into breakfast, hut Jlisa
bailie didn't corto. I lut.i the blues quick.
I was miserable. 1 couldn't half attend to
my business. My thoughts were all on my
Ballie. I didn't want breakfast. 1 didn’t
feel like I would ever -w ;,nt to cat again.
Nothing want interesting to me. I didn't
want to see auylssly, unless to ask alsuit
Miss fbtllie. I would give auy tiling ju*t to
catch her eye n minute
Whilst it, this melancholy mood, 1 *aw
her waiting maid got a waiter, and com
mence putting tilings on it for her breakfast.
1 slept to her and asked her who wanted

and I saw a servant collie in with the doc

This was gratifying tome. It relieved

.Mis- Sallie was dressed clnn out. She

commenced coming in. and after a while

I felt sorter spotted, in spite of me. I
couldn't bear the idea of lacing ail that
people; and the light* seemed to lie blighter
than ever, so th'-y could see me good I
couldn't help trembling and turning pale.
They carried me in a room where Mbs
Sallie and the waiters W ere.
1 walked In, and looks rent. I didn't
know what to say, nt>r bow to proceed. I
didn't know what eigne next. It was all
new tome. They chatted awhile, arrang

tliey said a!! was realty, and out we went.
Tlie parson was standing there, waiting
for u». We stopt right before hint. With
waiters on the right and left.
He rend n long lot-tare to ns out of a book,

I got mighty weak in the knees, and was
glad to sit down. Ate rested awhile, and
went out to eat up what wo* put on tlie
table. We cleaned things Up, certain. I

tiiTkey, < like and sillibnb. I was pretty full
niysi-if. and felt like Ling stillawhlle.
The old folks fixed up a nice room, and 1 ,
felt like one of the hone folks, sure enough.
1 was just a« happy as I w anted to be I j
could ail and talk to Sallie, and never git

I now wrote to my father, and h.-ld Idm

How it pained me to learn diktwy father -

one hour’s chat.
My mother ami sister were highly pleased
with my wife, and she with them. Bui l
could not remain, as Sallie was so anxious
tu return. I got a mau to attcud to the
business, mid we returned.
My wife'* father gave us a beautiful little
Place, one uiilo, or *O, from town, and had
it fitted up In style.
And here Snllie and I are livlug, as hup

Dear reader, I thank you for your patience

wide open eyes to the follow ing charge;
“If the Jury believe in Utc evidence, that
the plaintiff anil defendant were partners in
the grocery, ami that the plaintiff bought
out the defendant, anti gave his note for tha
interest, anil the dofi-iulant paid for the
note by delivering to the plaintiff a cow;
which’ he warranted not breaclty. and the
warrant waa broken by reason of thfe Vpcwch
iuess of the cow, anil he drove her hack
and lenilored her to the defendant, but he
refused to receive her, and the plaintiff took
her home again and put a heavy yoke on
her to prevent her from Jumping fences,

aeck and died; and If Die Jury further be
fievc that the defettdanv’a iatamst itt the
grocery was worth anything, the pUMhfT*
note was worthies*, and the cow good for
nothing, cither for beef or milk, then the
jury must find out themselves bow they

The verdict was "yes," and both parties

I’undent in the Country Gentleman says:—
“In selecting a milker, look well to the
udder. Before milking it should be w ide
anil broad, not banging down like a sack ■
and hard ami shiny, nearly destitute of hair,
and w hat there Is should be fine, short and
; bright. After milking, the udder should
lie soft, and apparently a skin bag. If, after
mil king, the udder ts hard and flill, it shows
that it Is flesh, not milk, that distends it"
