QUITMAN, GEO.. DECEMBER 22. 1871.
DO YOU THINK IT A MA T
Do you think it a sin in the gloaming
To sit near a neat fitting dress.
With tlie daintiest of maidens within it,
And lily-vi kite finders to press;
Dr softly to lift astray ringlet,
That floats o’er a bosom of snow,
Or "to peep into eyes that are glancing
From darkly fringed eyelids below?
Or to see just beyond where she’s sitting
A something you o,ujs(p u> .repair.
And pass yoAyj* arm gvoid tier and fix it,
And tlrtif (TOggi ypuf Irm is there;
Or. just in tlwH oi - a’>B)t»«e*ioii.
To ti'll "mething you miss,
And while she -^ helping you to find it.
To steal from her mouth a sweet kiss?
And as she’s reproving you mildly.
You dra\. in your arm rather tight,
And tell her you’re nrry you did it,
If she does not think it quite right;
And then in your penitent moment
You say that to you it is plaui
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 oVr,
If I give back the kb 1 have st-len,
She might say 1 had taken one more!
Oh, 1 ain sadly terplexed and confounded,
I want to be just and polite,
Don’t yon think that ’twere belter to coax her
To give me to kissing the right?
Pmafiaid I’ve committed a blunder,
And acted somewhat like a dance;
I think l mu t get up my courage,
And ask her to wed me at once,
I’ve done it--and she Ins consented
What a fortunate man I have been !
And now you may keep your opinion-
I don’t think I’ve committed a sin.
It is twonly-fivo yoars npo since mj
lit!le story began, ami I wonder whtil
made tnc remember il tn-d. y. Nothing
in the snrroundiiifr oircumsttuiees, I am
sure; yet, in the m .it of tl is crowfled
fiity, wliile the streets were yet full of
listht and life, all at once I thought ol
that gray, cool evening, the silent sweet
ness of tl»e lonely garden, and the plain
live cry fil soiiii! Inst lamb on the moun
tains. My uncle lad gone nearly two
hours before to see a dying child in tin
village; but the twilight lingers I ng in
the northern latitude, and, so, though il
was nearly ten o’clock, I put ’'ti my hat
and sauntered down to meet him. I
had no! far to go, but I win nntonished I
to find him 'accompanied by a young
man known as ‘‘Dark llarry Ilenshawe.”
Both of them seemed to ho under great
emotion, the doctor took my bund silent
ly, and young Henshuwe neither luiscd
his eyes nor r.| ened his mouth. I knew
that he had a very had name in all the
country side, ami that tlio shadow of a
gM at crime hung over him, therefore rny
astonishment was still greater when he
followed my anede into his study, and,
after remaining there a few minutes,
went away again without speaking a
woid to any one id the family.
‘VYcfl.’saiu aunt Mary, ‘after that
what?'
‘Uncle, to supper, I suppose; perhaps
he will explain.’
But lie did not until prayers wore
over and the servants wore in their room,
then lie told us that Harry had dr tnanded
money of him on bis way home, in a
way which left no doubt as to liis inten
tions.
‘What did you do, uncle? D.d you
give him money?’
‘I said, No, no llarry; what I have on
rue is riot worth the taking; hut if you
will walk beside me, and toil me all
your trouble, I will lend you enough to
make a man ot yen again.’
Aunt Mary looked injured, and her
knitting needles spoke for her.
‘Don’t be grieved, wih I The lad lias
been driven to desperation by false ac
cusations, and be is innocent, and upon
my word, I intend to help him to prove
it.’
‘How? By a pew trial?’
‘No, by anew life. I have lent him
SIOO, and he lias gone to Texas.’
‘Not a very good reformatory school,
I should think.’
‘Where God directs the discipline, ev
ery school is good. Come, wife, be.
hopeful and charitable. ’
Next day I heard from aunt Mai v
something of the young mail’s hi lory, j
Three summers ago, he bad formed the j
acquaintance of a gentleman who, part
ly as a tourist and partly as a sports-j
man, had spent si vnrul months in I'e
neighborhood. For many weeks their
friendship bad been a marvel, then fa
miliarity bred Contempt, or jealousy kin-|
died hatred. They quarrelled openly ;
and furiously.. Three days afterward.-
tiie body of the stranger was found ter
ribly mangled at .the foot ol Harrow’s 1
cliff, and Harry was am Ui-d for the
murder. He was eventually uoquitti and j
for want of evidence, but he found every j
one’s face dark and every one's heart;
hard against him; not evon.the woman
he loved believed him innocent, and he;
suffered keenly from that negative pnu
sl.ment, which is more grievous than
many Btripes. He sunk lower and low
er, and the previous night in a drunken ;
brawl had struck to the ground one of
his companions. Not caring to under
go the iiapris.unieut and suspense,
which would be the result, tie stopped
my uncle and demanded money' to line j
with. He got it, and oneti ing far bet
tor, ‘for .every gilt of noble origin is
breathed upon by hope’s perpetual
breath.’ I Uiought at intervals of the
dark, reckless face, which hau looked I
into my life for a moment and then he
pa-sed, us I supposed, forever into the
j shadow land of memory
Twelve years afterw»t(ls, I found my-
self one hot day in August sailing up
the Buffalo bayou, a beautiful lagoon in
southeastern Texas. Up the narrow
stream, darkened by its arcade of live
oaks and magnolias, wo slowly made
our way. The hot perfumed air, the un
real spectral look of everything, gave
me the sensation of dreaming. On all
tlie crew and passengers a kind ol hush- j
ed tranquility hud fallen, broken only by
the slow laboring of the engine, or the
lazy thud of some alligator taking the
; water. 1 noticed now, for the first
| time, how silence is intensified by sym
pathetic numbers; then it is complete,
!“a loneliness to lie felt,” bill the son!
bathes in such stillness, and hears in it
"something that throws antiquity itself
to the foreground.” It lasted long; but
juntas 1 was beginning to feel it ops
pl'ensive, wo came t > an opening in the
dense fi.ffng ■, and a clear strong voice
said, ‘Wake up stranger! this is (lie
halite tii id ol San Jae nto.’ That we
gathered round him wh'de he told, in
words that moved the heart like a trum
pet, the old story over again. How the
land was s el; with tyniiuny, and could I
he cured with nothing hut blood, And
the trees parted more and mure and ,
more, and the moon shone full on the
speaker, suddenly there came to my re
membrance the cold, fresh northern air,
the solemn mountains ami the misty
moorland ;, and 1 said ‘Harry Ilenshawe?’
‘That is inv name, madam. Harden
mo if 1 forget yours.’
‘You never heard mine, lint yon will
remember (’a.uhrook, ami the old man
vvlnni everybody called Dr. Will.’
Then ho took mv hand and kissed it,
just as 1 had seen him kiss my node's
when they stood together in the dying
daylig t, the savior and tlio saved.
When we wore alone, lie told me the
subsequent history-—there Jwas nothing
remarkable.in it, lie had hired himself
to a large sleek raiser, tail tiad prosper
ed so well that now lie himself owned a
(\\]£ rancho and quite a patriarchal num
ber of horses, eattlo and sheep.
‘Are you married?’! asked.
‘No, no!’ Im replied sorrowfully, ‘An
nie turned against mo in my trouble,
ami I’ve been all aid to trust another
woman. ’

‘My home is in the far W est, beyond
San Antonio and it is hardly likely wo
shall meet .tg iin.’
‘But the eternal future is bolero us,
If we part In re which way do you go?’
‘Heavenward, rnadarn, I trust,’ and
he 1 1 Hiked into my face with a gravu
but Inq py assurance -
‘My uncle s loan is paid, I suppose?’
‘Tlie emi of the first year saw the

A COURT INCIDENT.
One of the prominent ornaments of the
Bar, celebiated lor I.is genial disposition,
found himself, about tlio e!"se of the
war, washed ashore, high ami dry pecu •
niarially.iu the city of Richmond, where
lie was forced to hang out his shingle
and commence practice in the, Hustings
Court. One of his first clients was a
youth who bad been arrested at the in
stance of a respectable negro man of
family for having “rocked’ his house,
and severe y injured bis dnnghtor with
a stone thrown through the window.
At the examination, old I’ompey was
put. upon the stand, and proved the
charge with such undeniable terms that it
would have gone hard with our friend’s
client, had it imt been for the following
cross-examination:
Lawer—Yetrsay one stone came info
the room whom you were sitting with
your familv, and struck your daughter?
I‘omp—Yes, boss.
Lawyer— \V hero did it strike her?”
l’etnp. (silent for a while.) —I don’t
| like to tel l , boss.
j Lawyer—But you must fell. I do
, maud again, where did it strike hoi ?
Pomp.—l)at all foolishness, boss. 1
tell you it hit her: I dont like to tell
w here’fore ib se ladies in court.
Lawyer—But you must answer,
where did it flit, her?
Pomp, (slowly)—On the buzzmn; boss.
Lawyer—Well, how severely did it
injure her?
Pomp.—Oh, quit dis foolishness, I
ain’t gwinc to tell.
Lawyer—Again I must insist upon
my questiou being a’nswored. Did it in
jure liei?
Pomp.—(in despair.;—No, said it did
not in. j urn her, but it broke three fingers
of a gentleman that was paying ’leulion
to her.
Tlio ease was dismissed immediately
for want of jurisdiction.
An Apt fuuilayifehoof Scholar.
The following story although not new,
has sufficient point and humor to merit
its piiblieaJioii at least once a year.
Some roguish hoys in a town near the
eapitol of New Hampshire, persuaded
•Joseph Jasper, or as lie was generally
called, Joe, to attend the Sabbath
School.
Jue was an over grown, half-witted,
profane lad, and the boys anticipated
fun; but tin: various questions propound
ed to him. were so readily and correctly
a igwcrcd, that no one could suppose
that lie was not versed in theological
lores.
Joe was duly nshcrreil in and placed
on a suttee in front of one on which his
companions were seated, and the exami
iitili ii commenced.
The teacher first questioned the class
! mi their regular lesson, and then turned
111 Jo.,
“My friend, who made the world we
inhabit.”
Jii»t as lie was probably about to
answer the quest ion, one of the boys
seated behind him inserted a pin into
his (Joe’s) pants, about nine inches be
; low the ornamental buttons on his coat,
I "God Mhn'ghtlyl” answered Joe, at
i the same lime rising Ur his feet,
j “That i-correct,” answered the ti itch
ier, “but it is not necessary tlmt you
-j 1 ii>u l l rise in answeiing: a sitting post
ure is just ar Well.”
i Joe was seated and tho catechism
1 proceeded.
“\Vl,o died to save the world?”
“Jesus Christ!” in a louder tone than
before, again rising to Ids feet.
“That is coreect but do not manifest
so mucb feeling; do be a little more re
served in your manners,” said the teach
er in an expostulating tone of voice.
“What will bo Die final doom of all
wicked men?” was the subject now for
consideration, and us the pdn was again
stuck in, Joe thundered out, with a still
higher elevation of Ids body:
“Hell and damnation I”
“My friend, vou give the answers to j
all questions correctly, Int while you j
are hero wo wish you to boa lilt o more j
mil 1 in your words. Do, il you can, re- ;
; strain your en’lliil-iiuin, and give a less |
j extended scope to your feelings.”

COUNTY PAPERS,
We sometimes meet individuals who
complain of their county papers and
cease to take it, preferring to subscribe
for a city paper. They do not cotnpro-
Imnd the frets ill the relation to the pub
lication and support of papers. In the
first place, the terms of nearly all the
city papers arc the same as country pa
pers—s 2 for a single copy —and the only
way they get them for loss than that
price i« by clubbing, and sending for
a number of copios a!]u time. Then again
they must invariably send tlio money in
advance, which they very seldom do for
tln-ir county papei . But tho principal
diferonoe consists in the fact that it costa
tho publisher of tho county paper tho
same to set his type that it does tho city
publisher, and setting the type is tho'
piincip il expense in publishing of small
circulation. Alter the typo is once set,
the expense in merely then for the blank
paper and presswork, and the paper with
an' hundred thousand subscribers is very
profitable attwodollais—of course tho
largo city papers contain a larger a
mount of reading nutter than country
papers, hut which is most interesting?
That's the question. Do thecity papers
say anything in regard to your own
county? Nothing. Do they Contain
notice of your schools, chinches, meet
ings, marriges, and hundreds of other
local matters ol interest which tho coun
ty papers publish without pay? Not an
item. Do they ever say a word calcula
ted to draw attention to our county and
Us numerous thriving towns, and aid itr
our progress aid enterprise? Not a
line. Dad yet there arc men who tako
the contracted view of this matter that
unless they are getting as many square
inches of reading matter in their county
paper as they no in their county paper
as they do in their city paper, they are in t
getting the worth of their money. It re
minds ns of the person who took tho lar
gest pair td boots in the box, simply be
cause tney cost the same as the pair that
lit.
True Love, nacl Love of Love.-
Many women suppose that they love,
when unfortunately, they have not tho
I)- ginning ol an idea what love is. Lov
ing to lie admired hy a man, loving to'
hr petted hy him, and loving to ho ca
ressed by him, loving lo bo praised hy
him, is not loving a man. All these
may he when a woman has no power of
loving at, all; they may all he simply
because she loves herself, and loves to
he Haltered, praised, caressed, Coaxed,
ns a cat lilies to he coaxed ami stroked,
and fed with cream, ai.d have a warm
corner.
But all this is not love It may exist,
to ho sure, where there is love, it is a
life out »1 self and in another, its very
essence is the prefering of the cotrif >rt,
the ease, the wishes of another to one’s
own for the love we hear them. Love is
giving, and not tecuiviug. Love is not
a sheet of blotting paper, ora sponge,
sucking in everything to itself; it is an
oiitspring fountain, giving from itself.
Love's motto has been dropped in this
world us a chance gem of great price by
him who said, “It is more blessed to give
than to receive.”
Now, in love, there are ten receivers
to one giver. Tl ere are ten persons in
this world who like to be loved, and lovo'
love, where there is one who knows how
to love. That, ladies, is a nobler attain
ment tl tin all your French, and music,-
and dancing. You may lose the very
power of it by smothering it under a
load of self indulgence. By living just
as you are all wanting to live-—living
to be petted, to 1)0 tlaltored, to bo ad
mired, to he praised to have your own
way, and to do only which is easy and
agrees Idee—you may lose the power of
loving notify and worthily, and become
a mere sheet of blotting-paper all yoor
life.
