Lawrenceville deorgia, Tuesday March 18 1884.
A T si<>wai'r» first I.ov e
About GO years ago Cornel
Clinch was one of the prct.ieat
girls in New Y\ rk. 3he and her
brother, who as et wards became
Co 11• <f ir of lie por ! , were
tl, ■ c drep i f a ship chandler
who w.-H pretty *icU, a* weal li
was reckoned in those days.
He dved in a bight use on Dune
L >... then one of the most sash
ionahle part* of the city. Old
( liner,, was R self made man
and thought every man ought to
be the architect of his own fort
unes, So he frowned away every
young fop who came to woo Coro
eiiaand sen" her to school to learn
ti b* a sensible useluf w otmin. And
his ideas were respected, for Jib
had a ti riible temper win n crest
ed.
There is s ill s atuliitg, near Stuy
vtsantSqu re, and old fashioned
church known as St. Alain s. In
those days it ras out of the city
in iLb green fields. But cveiy
Sunday|o!d Clinch went up There
with his pretty daughter. One
day young Stewart miv them.
Onkis side it was deaily a ease of
love at first, sight. He began at
tending church ihere regulury.
Then he made Cornelia’s a qi ai
tauce, and, as he was poor but in
dustrieus, the old man smiled up
on them *n i invi ed him to call
and take dri»ks with them. Alt
er a while S ews;! ask!»U Cornelia
a very interesting i|uestion, and
she like a good girl blushed and
said: ‘‘Ye-e--s f papa says so".
Then Stewnrt interviewed old
Clinch, aud he said: "Wani to
marry Neiiiu, eh? Think she’s got
a rich father, Ob'? And you’d like
ti come in for a abare of his o«rn
ing, eh?
No, sir you needn’t leave tier or
men cent. I’ll soon be ri her than
you any wav.”
“You will, will y...u? well. I like
hat! go ahead and take her, then,
and Heaven bless \ou both.”
So the young folks, who were
fi'i-meimonsly in love with cam,
o’he , wore married and w, nt i olive

Ri'v laiu June*,
Many of our readers have po
ticed occasional plis with
reference to the wot .Mill voik
which Itev Sam Jones, the gre ,t
Georgia evangelist, has accom
plished ai Memphis, Tenn. The
extent of it, however, has not
been as yet at all appreciated, bu
the following facts, gathered from
authen ic sources, will Le gratify
ing to religionist - of every sect or
denomina ion:
Air Jones visited Memphis in
respouce to die invitation of Di.
litimar, of the Central Baptist
Church. The o'lier pastors of the
leading churches promptly decid
ed to co-operate in the movemtn'.
Early in January, then for* six
thousand cards, in the following
form, were were scattered hrouglt
the city :
“You are cot dud ly invited to ut
tend the Union Revival .Services,
Court Street, (Cumberland Pres
terian t huicli,) eveiy i orning and
night. ‘Now is the acc, pted time’
W hosoever will let him take the
wa er of iifefriely.' fifeiT’Clii'isti in
people wko rauoot attend these
services will please help us Irv
their prayers.”
The above in vita, ton w as signed
by all the ministers of Memphis.
Court street Cumberland Preaby
terian Church, having the largest
auditorium iu the cite, was se
lected as the place of these serv
ices. It is cay abhhof seating near
ly t wo Jhetisund persons, and yet
on many occasions more than one
thousand were unable to find even
slanding room.
Alt Jones commenced his labors
on January G h, und continued un
til February 6th, preaching more
than sixty sermons with a pungen
ey and power thyt stirred the city
from center to circumference.

'»• On Saturday night they came
to New York to spend the even
ing with a friend who lives inThird
"venue, near 12thh street. It was
midnight when they left their
friend's louse. They walked
down third avaunt. When they
-vere between 124th end liferd
street* a man came running around
the corner of the latter street, and
rau 'hem at full speed.—
He was hmless. The next instant
another man turned the corner of
t' e street. He was evidently iu
eager pursuit of the ha/less man,
for he cried out :
“Stop him! stop him ! He’s got,
my poekeibook !”
Harrison and Hathaway heade I
ott'the flying man uud seized him.
He pleaded with them to let him
go, declaring that iis pursuer had
i >bbed him of his watch and - was
chasing him to secure his pocket
book. Thai a man who had been
robbed should be wildly flying,
with the robber in close pursuit,
seemed Loo unlikely a story to the
captors of the ulledged 'robbed
man, and they held birn until the
pursuer came up, panting from his
run.
‘TI is man Ims got nay pocket
book !” exclaim id the hitter.—
“Please hold him until I get it."
In spite of ti e protests of the
hat,less man and his empha'ic dec
larations that the other man had
robbed him, the i vo captors held
him irmil the panting individual
had alien a wa'let. from one of his
trousers nocket.
“There it is, yen rascal !“ said
the panting individual. “Gentle
men. you ! ave done me a great fa
vnr, and I thank yon. Now that I
have my property I am satisfied
You may let the rascal go."
I’lie lenient gentleman walked
hurriedly down the avenue for a
short distance, and then breaking
into i sharp run, disappeared.
I’ltc two friends released the
man they had captured. Without
u word he started on a run after
the man who had recovered the
waiiet. Supposing that he intend
ed tomeke another effort to se
cure the plunder he had lost, Gar
risoii and Hathaway ran after him
to render any aid that might he
nece.sery to prevent the robbery.
When they crossed 12.1r.l street.
they saw the man who had recov
eied the wallett standing under
the gaslight on tneeornerofl22ud
street. His pursuer joined him,
s»nd the two disappeared togeth -
er in the cross street. Garrison
and Hathaway thought this was an
exceedingly strange proceeding
When they reached the stair* at
the next elevated railway station,
6'arrison found that his po ket
book containing SSO was gone,
and Hathaway discovered tli it his
gold watch was mi>.»ing. the pro -
ceeding did not seem so strange.
