YtiLLOW ItOSES
One evening, about two ye»ra
ago. I went to upend a couple of
hours with my old friet.d aud
neighbor. Mine. ,le Lorgend
Aware of her extreme fondness
tor Ho wars, I mokwith me a bunch
of yellow rosea, her especial favor
ites. On this evening.aa on mauy
auo her, I found her with au old
geutiemau who a yem
before come.iu'o that neighbor
hood to take paasessftirf of an ad
joi iug property, left him by a
distant relative on coudniou he
would change his name to that of
Destoudrai*. I was qui e jealous
to the intimacy that soon had
sprung up between him and mv
old fneud.
On the eveumg in question they
were buay over a game of “tric
trac ’ I entered softly, so us not
to disturb them, and wailed uutil
the game was over to present my
roses. Mine de Lorgerel’s face
was biigl.teneo with genuine d«-
ligbC but, to my astouishmeu', M
Descoudrais became mu»t strange
•y abstracted and thoughtful.
“Would you believe it, my
ftieud, be said, at length, “taose

chanimeet, a whole epocli of my
youth. For a few moments 1 was
again AO years of age and in love
with a woman who, if living, must
now be fully t>o yt are old. I will
tell you the whole stojyi. one that
influenced my whole after-life— [
evtn now, when old age has left
uie barely energy enough to play
iric-trac; the remembrance of my
youllTf'd love htls me with emo-!

“Ove- forty years ago, just as
ter 1 had left college, nay fattier,
without consulting me. nought t>

regiment quartered iu the little
town of X , for which place I
received urdeis to start at once-
This was distressing news for
more than one reason; I had uo
special love for the army, though
thalobjectiou was uo great ot.e,
as at that time of my life the mere
sight of a gay uuiform or the
soun 1 of martial music sufficed to
tire my ambition into becoming a
Cwsar or au Achilles, Bnt worst
of all, I was iu love, and dared
not tell my father, whose answer
I knew would have been an order
hastvning iny departure. Fortu
nately, I had an uncle—aud what
auuucle! Atihu time he was
as old as lam now, though still
retaining ail the vigor ami fresh
ness of youth. He was the confi
dent of our follies, loves, debts
aud aspiraiions, /went to him .’
“Uncle, I am most unhappy."
“I bet tw.uty louis you are not!’
“Ah, uucle, do not jesi—besides
you would lose your bet
“If t lose 1 pay. Perhaps that
nigh help to console you
“iVo: money has nothing to do
with illy wretchedness Father
has just accepted a lieutenancy
for i e in the regimeni.”
“Misfortune, indeed! The un‘
form, is most becoming, and all
the officers are geu t lemeu.
“But, uucle, I do uot wish to be
a soldier.” '
‘•Not be a soldier ! Are you a
coward by chance T”
•*I do not yet know, uncle; nev

“Well, Eid, my boy, wbat is

“And you e ill that a misfortune!

‘‘Of course —I knew that before;
they always are augels. What 1
ask is to wbal n*i*o, yot*r angel

“Naomi.” * ®
“Humph! Naomi may be enough
for you, but 1 would like to k*ow
to whit family this angel belongs.
“She is a Miss Amelot.
“Indeed! Then she is truly an

Lawrenceville Georgia, Tuesday August 86 1884
"And if you knew her ”
“1 do kuo v her. Does she love

I *•/ do not know."

“.She does not evtu kuow of my
love.”
“Pshaw! little know about it.
She kucw you loved her at least
fifteen mint]'es before you knew
it yourself.’’
“\Nhat / do kcow, at all events,
is that I die if she be not mine ! ’
“Oh, uo, my boy. Tuere ate
many reasons why she should not
be your t. Your fatuer is far rich

“In that case, uncle, I kuow

“Nonsense! do tvclhing sil/y.

“Why not T”
"Because /il i noi wish it ano

“• 'll, dear uncle, I '.eg—”
“If the girl loves you, and is
wdliug to wait thiee years— ’’
“Th>ee years !’’
“Peace, or I shall say four. If
she is willing, then, to wait ihree

‘Oh, I ncle!”
“But wot this one. I will have

“Well, if i' must l>e—But how

“Why ask her, of course."
“Oli, I should never dare.”
“Well, then obey your father
and pack off at once.”'
“Ah, uu de, you do not kuow
Naomi. A hundred times have I
tried to declare my passion; I have
even composed speeches, and learn
ed them by heart; b.t at the me -
ment of spenking my courage
wines, and each word chokes me.
tfe r impression is so sneel, but
yet so grave The man worthy
of her is not born! Writing was
useless. When my effusions were
penned and ready to be sent,
their utter foolishness struck me
*o forcibly that I was at pains to
tear my notes into.small pieces.'
“Nevertheless, you must make
up you*- mind to speak at o<ace.
Your father has no* told ;on all:
he sends you to Clermont breau e
his friend the colonel's daughter,
is destined to become your bride.
It would not indeed be a good
match —no protestations—this is
as nothing, if you are really in
lo7e with Naomi Love is folly—
but ii is a kind of folly I should
regrtt never having been guilty
of. Old people may call <t uou
seuse, but perchance the nonsense
is their*, if the girl loves you,
you must sacrifice all for nei—’tie
s upid, maybe, but right We
must first ascertain if she loves
yon aud now is the time, for they
seek to marry her. Ah, ha! that
makes you shudder and grow
pale! You long lo have your ri
val a 1 sword’s poiu', as we used
to say in my young days. You
are not prepared; go to ler, de
clare your love - she knows it. but
one is expected to make tire declar
atioh. If she loves you—she
must, for yon are handsome young
and devet. If she is wiling to
wait, write me so in a letter which
I may keep; heu I will prevent
this other affair, get your exchauge
and iu three years mail'}' you to
Naomi in spite of your father—in
spite of the devil himself.
“Unde, I have an idea
“Well t”
“I will write to h«r.’'
‘Very well.'’
“After leaving my dear uncle I
set about writing tl at note. The
writi i g was no difficult matter,
for / had done it a huudred times
before ; the puzzle was how to
give it to Ler. However there
was no time for indecissiou, so I
soon made up my miud. aud, hav

’Ah ! you hid that note in the

ed Mine. Lorgerel.
“Y es, raadame ”
“And then*”
“Well, Naomi wore no flower
that evening. I was desperate,
and iu my ulisery sought to take
my life. My good uncle took me
to Clermont, stayed there two
mouths, and did all iu his power
to distract my thoughts from
Naomi declaring she never could
have really cared for me.”
“But uncle,” I used to object ;
“she always seemed so pleased to
see me, and repproached me wo

I Cut i itizeus ir* all acquainted
with tm fad of how Mr Jim Parr

ngimtht, wl.tla hnuiiug for a
<atl bvuiJ fer u diU)! comrade,
discovered s 10, of specie bidden
■ beneath the heartl of a bake oven
iu ihe tpwn of (iettysburg, and
sti reeded iu getting it home
• here, he bought a suLstiiut,
wilt* a nan and used the rest to
statt himself in bueiuesw after the
war From Mr. Jamea O'Farrell
a member of the same company
with Parr, we learu the following
singular story of the discovery of
this money. The day before ihe
light a member of their company,
named Dickson, whom the boys
dubbed “Dixie," as gallant % man
as ever follow* d the fortunes of
‘he immortal Lee, came to Mr. O'
Farrell and stated to him that he
had a presentiment, that there
would be a great battle soon, and
that he would be killed early iu
the engagement. “Dixie” was
laughed at for Kj* superstition,
but he persisted in his story re
peating it to other mein hers of
the mess, and seemed very low
spirited The next day the great
battle begun, and sure enough the
gallant “Dixie'’ was among the
first to fall, shot dead in his useks
He was a general favorite with
his company, and after nigb’fall a
squad was detailed to bnry heir
dead, under Mr. Parr. After this
sad duty bad been discharged,
Parr hunte up Jim O’Farrell and
proposed tha 1 they go out and get.
a head board to mark the grave i f
their comrade. O’Farrell een«ent
ed, but just as he started off with
>hat end in view he was detailed
for some special duty, and l’trr
found as other member of the
mess to assist him, Near the
grave was a bake o»en, used bv an
old Dutchman, and the two Cou
feds, decided that they could prob
ably find among ihe atones of
wli ch it was built someth mg suita
ble for their purpose. While Pan
was rumaging among the flat rocks
of the floor of this oven, be heard
a jingling sound, and striking a
light discovered a pile of g dd and
silver, and a number of paper bills
on Ihe bank of Gettysburg. He
secured about $1,200 of this m on
ey us in il'll! as he could conveu
iet.lly carry eff, intending to re
turn for the remamder. But
wheu he got back it was gone,
some one else also discoveriug the
mine, 7’hu spnie made quite a
heavy bulk aud Mr. Parr, belong

money lo Mr. It K Reaves to ca

tl at they conn eo it carefully on
ihe but’le-field, by the light of
their caiup-fire, and he got ii safe
ly over the Po ounuuc, when tie
delivered every ce> t to Parr, tak
ing not Ling for histi onbie. When
the Federal tro ips were raiding
through llris section they heard
through some means of this money
and going out to Mr. Parr's house
demanded it 7’hia ordtr was re

Pruning enl Seer Uvmprm
It Use not been many yeers since
everybody summer pruued their
out door grape vibes to death
They hardly left leaves and shoots
enough to keep the vine alive and
growiag at all. As a coneequaace
the irrajms badly mildewed, many
fell off, the hunches diminished,
and the berries became premature
ly ripe, with loss of ti7.e and qual
ity. At last the growers took ihe
slat m and iu couucil resolved on
ly on a little summer pruning—
some even advioaliug the vines run
niug up trees ed libitum! But it
w as soou found that ■ bin was ruu
niug to the other extreme, hence
moderate pruuiug waa agreed upoa
7’he trut h is, the pruning of grape H
is like every other thing done up
on the premises, it should be varied
according to circumstances. Some
rampart growers like the Concord,
most of Rogers' hybrids, the Tele
graph, etc., should be pruned in
'lie fall or winter, sharply, and in
flie summer have their great wan
dering leaders considerably lopped
off and reduced to a moderate sixe
When done judiciously this will
add to the size of the bunch and
berry, sr well as tbr quality of the
fruit. The o’faer verities—slew
growers-should he only sparing
ly reduced, cr rather “pinched,”
u accordance wiih the ! r habits of
growth,
There is little or no doubt ibat.
when this pruning, in both winter
and summer, is performed careful
ly and with judgement, it will add
to, if uot completely secure, the
general sttcess of grape collar 3.
