I>o you Think it a Shi? Do you think it a sin in the gloaming To sit near a neat fitting dress, With the daintiest of maidens within it, And lily white fingers to press? Or softly to lift a stray ringlet, That floats o’er a bosom of snow, Or to peep into eyes that are glancing From darkly friogued eyelids below? Or to see just beyond where she’s sitting A something you ought to repair. And pass your arm round her aud fix it, And then forget your arm there; Or just in the fit of abstraction, To tell her there’s something you miss, And while she’s helping you to find it, To steal from her mouth a sweet kiss? And as she’s reproving you mildly, You draw in your arm rather tight, And tell her you’re sorry you did it, r If she does not think it quite right; And then in your peniteut moment, You say that to you it is plain You ought as a matter of honor, To give her the kiss back again. Yet how to do so is the puzzle, • For in viewing the matter all o’er If I give back the kiss I have stolen, She might say I had taken qne more! Oh, I am sadly perplexed and confounded, I want to be just and polite, Don’t you think that ’twere better to coax her To give me to kissing the right? I’m afraid I’ve committed a blunder, And acted somewhat like a dunce; I think I must get up my courage, \ And ask her to wed me at once. I’ve done it—and she has consented— What a fortunate man I have been! And now you may keep your opinion— -1 don't think I’ve committed a sin. *>• ♦ W* ■ An Uncommon .Lover’s Quarrel. “My harp is all out of tune ; the piano is discordant; the canaries pipe a shrill whistle instead of their soft notes ; and it rains—” “And what, child,” said the pleas ant voice of Aunt Mary Dennvan, as she examined the countenance of her niece. “And I wish I was dead, or I iiad never been born,or something, I scarcely know what,” and Lena Wood’s beautiful lips were pouting, and a strange cloud of sullineSs and dissatisfaction hung porten tiously over the fresh young face. “I dislike very much, Lena, to hear such remarks as these you have uttered from her lips ; much more from yours. Life is not all sunshine and sweetness; it re mains with us, as- God-loving, God-forbearing individuals, to be content with the part assigned to us, and live it out patiently.” “On, yes, that is very nice to talk about, but suppose oue wasn’t given any patience to start with? Does a body possess a little loot or slip of anything, why, one can cultivate it, of course, patience can’t be manufactured. Harvey is all the time lecturing me. If it be necessary to find so muchtault now, the probababili ties are we shall never be happy, for I.cannot and will not endure so much badgering. I told him so last night, and gave him back our engagement ring,” and Lena held up her sere-singer dubiously ; 4 and told him never to come near me again. I vow I won’t be everlast ingly talked to ; so there !” “You have trilled, .with one of the noblest men ever made; thrown away the costliest pearl he ever offered you. %epa, I am astonished.” “Oh, mercy, if this tedioubl You talk, Auntie, like^fcva^jfiPfcK 4 son. Do you imagine, for a mo ment, that I court this everlasting humdumining I am compelled to listen to, at home and abroad, from relatives, friends, and lover? l)o you suppose that I do not, from the bottom of iny heart, deplore the fate that sent mo into this breathing world, scarce half made up, and that so lamely unfashiona ble that dogs bark at me as I halt by them ? Richard, I suppose was talking about the bump on his back; I refer to my mental and moral deformity. Some way every body seems to be at liberty to des cant on my infirmities and right before my eyes, too. I didn’t tell Ilarvey to muko love to me, and run after me two years before he got a chance to whisper a word of it. He has got impudence, there | is no mistake about that.” “What is the trouble between 1 you and Harvey, -my dear,” in- j quired Auntie, endeavoring to quiet herself, for Lena wai very dear to her. Ever since the death of her parents, some five years previous, she had had the care of iter niece. She was keenly alive to the faults of the girl, but be lieved that time, experience and : love of the really worthy man to | whom Lena was betrothed would ! round oil' the rough edges of her ’ Lawrenceville, Ga./* Wednesday, January 17, 1872. character, and bring out like gold from the refiner’s (ire, the traits ol" true nobility she knew she pos sessed. “Like the majority Y>f quarrels,.” replied Lena, “it briginated from nothing. I said I hated beggars, that’s all,”- “Why, Lena,you aro deranged!” said Auntie, who could with diffi culty repress a smile. “You of all others to say such a thing ! You who keep the kitchen filled with the objects of your charity. llow could you tell such a false hood ?” “Well, the other night, just as wc were out of the carriage at Pike’s, I was in a hurry, I knew the opera had commenced, a for lorn old beggar, his breath smel ling of whiskey, stopped us. It was awful cold, and Harvey kept me standing a minute or two on the walk, while he fumbled in his pockets for money to give the old vagabond to buy more rum with. 1 was vexed aud cold; and if he had left are alone and not kept asking questions, I should not have said the awful words. I de clared it would have altered the case had the man not been a drunkard. Ilarvey insisted that society was to blame for that sin ; aud he as a member of it, would never turn his hack upon a man who he knew was cold and hun gry. He could not abolish rum selling, but a starving drunkard was just as much an object, of charity as a starving minister. Good gracious didn’t bis eyes snap though. He.is as much too radical as lam too willful. Then I said I hated beggars any way ” Aunt Mary could say nothing, advise nothing. She saw that, by a little judicious management on the part of the lover, tliis grand finale might have been averted ; but men are not natural diploma tists. And so, with a careless ob servation iu regard to the weather, she withdrew. ' Several days passed, and not a word from ilar vey. “Oh, dear, how lonely that poor little finger looks,” said Lena one day to herself “It has been there long enough to leave a ridge, too. 1 reckon the next girl that ilarvey Crittenden is engaged to will have an easier time than I have. He has learned a lesson from this as true as you live, Lena. It’s al ways the way with men ; one wo man has to bo victimized in order that another may be decently treated! Well, I am glad for somebody, ilarvey is a glorious fellow sometimes. If that fellow don’t send home my photograph by tomorrow, I’m just going to send for it. And now, Lena Wood, if you make a fool of yourself another minute longer, for any biped under the sun, you deserve Jhe rack. .You do hate beggars ; stick to it; and Lena surveyed herself in the mirror and promised she would. “Miss Lena,” said the cook, breaking in upon her reverie, “there is an old man down to tho door who wants -something to eat,, and a light job o> work. tQch, hfcs a, sick J oozing fellliKXn tirniy. Viiry e be after corising dowli ( Mttjjs _ ‘fAndtltettyeggar,” mused Lena. “I’m thankful Auntie is out, or I might receive a lecture on the ‘’beauties of consistency. I wasn’t born with any of that either. — “Well,” said she, opening the back area door.where the old man stood. “What can Ido for you ? C&ok tells me you are cold and hungry, and in want!” “Yes, Miss,” said the old bun dle of tatters, in low, trembling tones. “What is the matter with you ?” and Lena’s voice was lull of sym pathy. “Oh! nothing but the rheuirfatiz. I’ve had it all the winter. It’s all that I can do to take a step. But for the love of mercy, give mo a mouthful to eat; I’m • almost starved.” “Come into the kitchen, and you’ll see what wc can do for you. Cook, get him a cup of warm col fee, and whatever you have got good to eat. Would you like to wash your face and hands “Oh, yes, ma’am, if you please,” replied the beggar. “I was try ing to put in some coal for the folks below, but I was obliged to leave it; I hadn’t got the strength.” Lena, with her own hands, plac ed a basin of water, soap and towels before him; poured out Lis coffee, and set the chair to the kitchen table. “Now cat just ns>*much as you “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” ean,” said ’she, filling his plate. “How much coal did you put iu for the family below V” “Oh, about a half a ton.” “Well, and didn’t they pay you for that?” “Oh, no, madam* lie replied. “llow could l expect it when I didn’t do as I agreed to.” “Well, that man deserves hang ing. I’d take my affidavit that it was a man who made that bar gain, and allowed you, hungry and sick, to leave without being paid; no woman would servo a human being so Bcury a trick.” The old man pressed his hand to j his face a moment, and then re plied ; “Yes, my dear Miss, it was a mau; but then there are very few like you in the world.” “That’s so,” slift replied, and burst into a hearty laugh. “Very few like me, you poor, sick old ! man ; very few like me indeed. You wouldn’t believe now that 1 hate beggars, would you ? That I have no patience with anybody who is poor, ill, or unfortunate ? Oh, pshaw, Avhat in the world am. I talking about? Why, bless your soul, good man, you liavn’t eat enough to keep a mouse alive. Now tell me about this rheuma tism. Where does it trouble you ?” “In my knees, Miss,” and the old man again lfid his face in his hands. ' “-Go to my closet,” said she to lie servant, “bring me that bigt bottle of liniment. I’ll give, them a real good 1 übbing myself, and then you Can take the bottle home and bathe them two or three times a day. Rheumatism must be ter rible.” Bridget returned with the de sired article, and Lena tuok a seat on the floor. “Oh, no, Miss,” said the beggar, a strange tremor in his voice. “I cannot permit that.” “Why, you old goose,”saidT.ena, laughing, “I can do more good in live minutes than you can do your-| self in an hour. I am used to those things. I’ve a dozen on my sick list now, for whom I have to perfurm just such offices. What aro your hands made for if they are not made to do good with? Come, don’t be so foolish !” “Lena, Lena, Lena,” and in the twinkling of an eye, the old gray wig, whiskers and eyebrows were removed and IlaTvcy Crittenden, his face irradiated with joy, love, and a peculiar soul satisfaction which Lena had never seen there before, confronted her. Lena was like one stunned for a moment, hut quickly rallied, and as soon as she could find breath between tfie kisses showered upon her, re marked saucily' “Humph ! Don’t you suppose I knew it was you all the time? Just doing it to show oil’, that’s all.”- But a genuine burst of tears told a different story ; and Lena, clasped fondly in her lover’s arms, sobbed out her joy and repentance. Lena is now a wife, but an allu sion to the rheumatism or a bottle \of liniment, is'rj.idlo sufficient to Forger. —Some months since a gentlemanly looking individual, who styled himself Clarence Har lan, approached Col. R. M. Young, at Calhoun, and presented a draft on a house in Baltimore with which Col. Y. did business. Sus pecting nothing, the draft was promptly cashed. Kocently the draft was returned to Col. Y. dis approved. The house had no such accredited agent. On Wednesday the same individual was recog nized by Mr. Moore, of the house of J. L. Cohen, who immediately had him arrested. On his arrest lie called himself Haynes. Col. Y. was forthwith dispatched lbr, and, upon his arrival; Harlan, alias Haynes, introduced himself as Mr. Whitman. lie has gone, under escort of Col Young, to meet the punishment ho deserves. He attempted similar forgeries in Marietta and Ringgold. Sir We saw a gentleman a few days ago whose finger had been painfully mashed just at the nail. He wisely applied Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid, and experi enced instant relief. We wish to impress business men with the following motto: “fairly to bod, and early to rise, _ Never get tight—and advertise.” The latest ballad is; •• bury your dog in the garden; it will make your grapevine grow” PUBLIC ACTS Passed l»y tho General Assem bly at t lie Session ol' 1871.

Two new sections are added: Tbo first provides that -’’it shall be the duty of the State School Commission er, immediately after tho adjournment of the General Assembly, to send lo the Ordinary of each county in this Stale a cored statement of the fund standing to the credit of his county iu the Treasury of thoStnto for educa tional purposes, who shall place this *ta ement before the County Hoard of Education at its first meeting aft of tho election of tho members thereof; that said County Hoard of Education shall make an estimate of the amount necessary, in addition to what will be received from the State, to carry on said schools for nt least sir iffl A f|- vSliinsleit''of said Hoard sbsll bo placed hn.oro jhe‘grand jury of il.n county at ils next session, and said grand jury shall levy a county tax sufficient to raise the required sum ” The second provides that no part or prosei t legislation snail he so construed as to prevent am ity with a population of exceeding five thou sand inhabitants, or any county under authority from the General Assembly of this State, from organizing a puli lie schpol sysfbnf Thdeliendqiit of ibis sjydiyn, or so prevent 'the said indo pendaut organizatlbn from drawing its pro rata share of the educational funds raised by tho Stale, provided the pliief executive office? of such independent organization shall make the same regular reports to the Stale School Commissioner as are requred from the County Coturfrissioner* by the above recited act, ap<) ill’s amend atory act. — Chronicle it Sentinel .
