Why Mabel did not Become
an Authoress.
BY “RESA.”
Yes it is too tvtio, Mabel’s genius
lias been nipped iu the bud, ere its
tender portals had expanded into
bloom. The withering blight has
fallen, and tho tender bud that
looked so promising and bright, the
sentiment and beautiful thoughts,
that have furnished many a beauti
ful ‘air castle,’ are crushed and now
lie broken and withered by tho rudo
hand of harsh critics.
Poor little Mabel! Perhaps could
d/rs. Grumby, Miss Spicer, and the
many others, that have thus annihi
lated your tender genius, that need
ed so much encouragement, and was
too tender to battle with the tempest
public opinion; could they but see
ybu, this beautiful spring morning
crouching under the tho luxuriant
vines that cover the old summer
house, standing in the rear of Joseph
Haynes beautiful Slower garden, and
hear your convulsive sobs, and see
the tears as they steal unforbidden
down tho cheeks that once vied with
tho rose iu hue, but now sr, pale,
perhaps their sympathies would be
arrousod, if not a feeling akin to re
morse steal over them as they view
the grief and disappointment they
have caused you.
Poor little girl, your rose tinted
illusions are dispelled. Your day
dreams arc over. No more will you
steal away to the dear old woods
and sit for hours forgetful of a’l
things besides. Only tho tide of
beautiful thoughts that come welling
to your heart, like (he crystal waters
of some sparkling brook, or perhaps
throw yourself on the rustic bench
of that dear old summer house, and
in your imagination, you ate trans
formed into an etherial being, while
that beautiful cloud with its purple
vein, from which the golden darts of
the ‘day God,' are spread over the
trees and distant hill tops, trans
forming them into seeming temples
of gold as from a magician’s hand,it
your throne.
But awake little dreamer, for you
are in a cold and calculating world.
Your romantic dreams, clothed iu
such roseate hues, are in but little
unison with your daily and matter
of-fact surroundings.
But let me tell her story, and tho
tragic ending of her dreams.
There is, not a thousand miles
from central Georgia, a wee town,
we will dignify with the cognomen
of Gossipville. Do not attempt, dear
reader, to find it on the map, for it
is too small and obscure to find
there, although if perhaps some
of its inhabitants were to hear
me thus express myself, I would be
censured for a slanderer of the dear
little village. But what? though it
is small, it certainly is no reason why
its occupants should not live and
die, be sorrowful and happy, gossip
and criticise, and enact comedies and
tragedies just as well as those who
reside iu a place of larger dimensioas
But,however, it is the place where our
story opens, and Joseph Haynes
owns the largest house, and is also
the merchant who deals in such
articles, as are required by those not
able to go to a larger murket. Ho
was a stern thorughgoing man that
looked upon neglect of business or
slothfulness, a little below crime.
His wife a mild sensitive creature
with a well cultivated mind, was in
deed in great contrast to her hus
band, who deemed it superfluous to
know more than how to make money
and invest it properly.
They had a family of three chil
dren, Lila, the eldest daughter, was
the exact counterpart of her indus
trious father, and had taken the do
mestic duties from her mother into
her own hands, -/ulian was the only
son, and a more mischievous hoy
could not be found in the whole
! town. And our little heroine Mabel
was the youngesl and consequently
the pet of the family,though she was.
| chided from morn till night, by her
j sistsr for her carelessness, in not
1 taking more interest in tho duties
| she was required to perform,
i She partook of the nature of her

TALBOTTON GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 31,1876.
mother, as far as sensitiveness was
concerned, having no particular love
for study, but would sit for hours,
with her book lying idly in her lap,
while she was weaving a web of
romance in her little silly brain, to
be dispelled by a thump on the head
from her teacher, and she would 10-
turn to the unpleasant task of pars
ing some difficult sentence, or
solving a knotty problem in her alge
bra. She would provoke her father
and sister by her fondness for novel
reading devouring every volume of
romance that she could obtain, not
forgetting site required much pre
caution to elude tho watchful eye of
Lila. 7>'ut her mother,sympathizing
with her, would often procure her
books, and had her husband known
the contents, ho would have boon
greatly displeased. And when Lila
complained of unwashed dishes, or
scorched muslins, she always would
go iu search of a novel she knew
must bo concealed somewhere.
Mabel had reached her seventeenth
birth day, and no fairer specimen of
rustic beauty could he found than she
And many lavishing belles’ would
have given half a fortune to have pos-*
session of those cheeks that blushed
with the vermillion of nature and to
have those parting lips that would
‘shame the scarlet flower' and would
save tin a so large a bill for Phalon’s
Magnolia Balm and other cosmetics
and beautifiers. She was tho belle
ot Gossipville, with a host of beaux
following in her walk, but there was
something she could not define that
prevented her from bestowing her
heart and hand cm any one of them.
There was something wanting, and
her father was annoyed beyond en
durance, as one after another of the
excellent chances, as he deemed
them, was added to her rejected
suitors.
‘Hang it Mabel, I don't, know
what to think of you’ said he one
day, as a youth with slow steps and
lowering brow, walked away from
Joseph Haync 's with anything but
blessings on his lips. ‘Hero you have
refused Henry l'clton, the host catch
in the whole country. I had set my
heart on yot r marrying him, and
now to think you have turned him
away t o. I don’t know what to do
with you.’
‘Papa, are you really' so anxious to
get rid of mo ? Am f so much of
au incumbrance ?’ said Mabel, the
tears springing to her dark eyes.
‘ (Fell, no; but you have rejected
so many, and one must marry some
time. There are but few young men
left,in the town and country around,
who have not felt your power. That
comes ol j-our cveilasting trash
reading. I know it will bring you
to some bad end yet, I gave you a
good education, because yonr mind
seemed to lead in that way, and then
for you to disregard my wishes, it is
too provoking!’
‘Father, I don’t love any of them;
they do not suit me, I ’
‘Don’t suit you, eh ? You mean
by that they are not good enough
for you ? Well, we’ll seo. I dress
you finer than any girl in Gossip
ville, but listen to me. If you have
to put on all those line lady airs, be
cause you read poetry-, and that
trash you call romance, I tell you
now, 1 will lift you off your stilts, so
no more dressing, except the plain
est, will be bought for you, until you
are brought to reason. Think of it
now;’ and Mr. Haynes put on his
hat, and walked excitedly away, leav
ing Mabel in no amiable moo-l, for
like the most of girls, she was very
fond of dress. And while thinking
of the plain print dresses, that must,
be her lot until she consented to bo
the wife of one of tho Gossipville
swains. She clenched her hands
and stamped her little foot, by way
of venting her spleen.
Sitting down at last, Mabel picked
up a paper, endeavoring to forget
tho scene she had just passed
through. Her eyes, by chance, fell
upon a paragraph in which was
mentioned the enormous price paid
lor some stories written by a re
nowned authoress.
‘Oh, how glorious!’ she said, ‘if I
could only write a story and get a
little money, just a little, so / would
not be forced to marry to suit papa.
Yes, I will try, I know I can write a
little story; I know I can,’ and
away she flew to her own room, and
after locking the door to prevent in
trusion, she drew writing material
from her desk, and set herself to the
great task of writing a story.
‘Let mo seo. What must I have
for tho name, and what must bo the
plot of my story?’ sho soliloquized
while her pearly teeth made inden
ture in her pencil. ‘Pshaw, 1 know
I can write, but I seem confused
this afternoon. I bclievo all great
writers generally go to some ro
mantic spot, for inspiration, 1 had
rather go in tho woods myself, but
Lila will be sure to slip up on me, to
seo what I am doing, so I will have
to glance out of tho window at Ihe
clear blue sky, and the beautiful for
est trees, for my inspiration. But
let mo see; my hero shall bo tall and
dark, with flashing eyes, and as dar
ing as a noted bravo. My heroine
must bo fair and lovely, and her
name, therefore, must be Lilly. She
must be in imminent peril, and be
rescued by my dark, flashing-eyed
hero.* Tho little writer’s head was
bowed, and lier usually smooths
brow, was corrugated with thought
and perplexity. At, last she com
menced writing, her eyes bright and
her cheeks flushed with excitement.
Her pert flew over tho snowy paper,
and page after page was written be
fore she paused, but again the brow
was contracted, and sho exclaimed:
‘Well, I am in a dilemma; I have
my heroine in tho power of robbers,
but how am I to have my hero to
rescue her, while sho is in Franco
and he in America? But then, T ’
‘Mabel! I say. Mabel Haynes!
Why don’t you conre and feed the
chickens? And here are these ap
ples I left for you to pare an hour
ago, whai arc you doing? Beading,
I dare say. You will have to learn
you cun t live on reading,’ said Lila,
coming to the foot of tho stair-case.
‘Well, I’m coming,’ said It Tab el,
without rising. ‘I do wish all the
chickens and apples too, only enough
to eat, were at the torrid zone; as if
1 eould stoop to such vulgar em
ployment, after writing romantic
stories. I do wonder if all those
who try to write have such annoy
ances to contend with? It robs the
story of tdl its lomance, to leave a
fascinating lady in the power of some
merciless ruffians, while / am away
feeding pigs and chickens. Dear
Lillie will bo murdered before Mark
Lasella will return from France.
Ye.-:, Lila, / am coming,’and thrust -
ing her manuscript into the desk,
she ran quickly- to Lila’s imporitive
summons.
(to HE CONTINUED.)
Tnn Duo vkaud’k Will.— Know all
men by these presents that I ot
tho county of Mecklenburg, and
Slat,e of Virginia, being if sound and
deposing memory, in view of the un
certainty of life, and the uncertainty
of death, do make this my last will
and testament to wit:
I died a wretched sinner; and 1
leave to the world a worthless repu
tation, a wicked example, a memory
that is fit, to perish.
I leave to my parents sorrow, and
bitterness of soul all the days of
their lives.
1 leave to my brothers and sisters
shame and grief, and the reproach of
their acquaintances.
I leave to mv widow and broken
hearted wife a life of lonely struggle
with want and suffering.
I leave my children a tainted name,
a reviled position, a pitiful ignorance,
and the mortifying recollection of a
father who, by his life, disgraced hu
manity, and at her premature death
joined the gloat company of those
who never enter the kingdom of
heaven.
I pray God that those who are liv
ing may take warning and profit
from the above.
Advice.— Be polite and attentive;
make few promises; speak the truth;
permit no misrepresentation; live up
to your engagements; treat rich and
poor alike; keep good company or
none; sell quickly for small profits;
never try to conceal a defect; seep
your personal secrets, if you have
any; let fair dealing bo in every
transaction in buying with your
rival; never be idle—when your
hands are slack think out the future
I needs of your business; never take a
i mean advantage of any one in any
I transaction; never be hard on peo
ple who are in your power; try to do
to others as you would have them
do to you—’tis much better for you
that they should fail in obeying tho
great law laid down by our Saviour
than that you should.
Your IteHgion.
What good comes of it ? Do you
simply profess it ? or do you really
possess it? Docs it mane you more
amiable? or are you just as harsh,
petulant, and irritabln as tho unre
gonerated ? Does it make you more
kindly, forgiving, and generous, with
a spirit which wishes well to all man
kind ?or are you selfish, narrow
minded, unforgiving ? Does it re
sign you to the inevitable? Is it a
comfort in times of affliction ? a sup
port when you meet with losses, re
verses and calamities? Can you con
template death with composure and
equanimity ? Do yoo believe ‘in the
promises,’ that all will be well with
the good ? Are you resigned ? Can
you truly say, ‘Thy will bo done ?’
If you are a Christian, you will ‘da
as you would bo done by,’ seek the
good of others rather tnan personal
gratification—will be just, hopeful,
forgiving, cheerful, trusting and
charitable.
A Christian will carefully regulate
his propensities,guard against a sor
did love of money, vain pride or
egotism, an acrimonious temper,
fault-finding, unjust suspicon, jeal
ously, deception, or double-dealing,
or doing anything which the great
teacher Christ himself would not
have approved.
A truly vital religion elevates and
improves; spurious religion, or liy
pocricy, corrupts and leads down
ward. A true Christian worships
God, “in sincerity and in truth,” and
looks more to the adornment of hie
mind than his body.
A contemporary says : • l have
soon a woman professing to love
Christ more than the world clad in
in a silk dress costing $75; making
and trimming the same, $10; bonnet
(or apology for one,) $35; velvet
mantle, $150; diamond ring, $500;
watch chain,pin and other trappings,
:>i00; total, sl,lO0 —all hung upon
ono frail mortal. 1 have seen her at
a meeting in behalf of homeless wan
derers, in New York wipe her eyes
upon an embroidered handkerchief,
costing $lO, listning to the story of
their sufferings, and when tho con
tribution box came round take from
a well filled wallet of costly work
manship twenty-five cents to aid tho
society formed to promote their
welfare. Ah, thought I, dollars for
ribbons and pennies for Christ’s
children!’
How is it with men? What amount
do they-spend on their indulgence in
costly dinners, wine, liquor and to
bacco, that should bo used for good
purposes ? How much for mere
pleasure excursions, visiting water
ing places, and in dissipation and
flirtations? How much for fast
horses, stylish equipages and vain
display? Arc the clergy themselves
exempt from all these things? Arc
vestrymen,deacons and other church
officers all circumspect and consis
tent Christians ?
Are all those who sing praises to
Him in sacred song actuated by an
oxhaltcd Christian spirit? or are
they ambitious for worldly honors,
eager for wages, or for tho praises
of flattering tongues? How shock
ing to a devout mind is it to witness
the utter want of reverence in a per
son approaching his Maker with a
manner of indifference as though ho
were an auctioneer about to har
rangue a body of tobacco-buyers.
Such scenes may be witnessed not a
thousand miles from A'ew York.
True religion is not a cloak to
cover up sin, though imposters so
use it. Nor is it the means by which
purse-proud,the arrogant or haughty
Pharisee can secure happiness here
or hereafter. True religion brings
blessings to its possessor, let his
worldly circumstances be what they
may. ifeadm be not deceived; see
to it that your religion is founded
on the truth.—With Christ for your
guide, teacher and companion, you
cannot remain in error or go wrong.

A few years ago you could sit up

or two o’clock in tho morning, the
old people begin to pound on the

Before I sink under my burden of

So I’ll watch for tho daylight and

About Marriage—to the Men.—
A physician writes tho following
sensible advice: My profession has
thrown mo among women of all
classes, and my experience teaches
me that Cod never gave a man n
greater proof of his love than to place
woman here with him. My advice
is: Go propose to the most sensible
girl you know. If she says yes, tell
her how much your income is, from
what source derived, arid tell her
you will divide the last shilling with
her, and love her with all your heart
in tho bargain. And then keep
your promise. My word for it, sho
will live within your income, and to
your last hour you will regret that
you didn't marry sooner. Goiitle
men do not worry about female ex
travagance and feminine untruth.
Just you be true to her, love her sin
cerely, and don't ho chary in tolling
her so, affd a more fond, faithful,
foolish slave, you will never meet
anywhere. You don’t deservo lier,
I know, but she will never know it.
Now throw aside pride and selfish
ness, and see what will come of it.”
He Played it Too Strong.— At a
masquerade ball recently given in
Atlanta, a young Benedict persona
ted the devil. Those who saw him
in costume say ho was horrible to
behold. During tho evening at a
time when tho gay maskers were
having their best joy, this persona
tor was requested to go to the door.
There ho found a summons from
home to run for a doctor. In tho
excitement he forgot his impersona
tion, - and rushed to the doctor’s
office and rang tho bell. Tho ring
ing was of such terrific vehemence
that it caused the doctor to get out
of bed and rush iu neglige costume
to the door. He took one sudden,
hasty- glance at the disturber of his
slumber, and then ran. Being an
important case, tho young man
rushed through the door-way and
commenced a vigorous search for
the fugitive physician. lie found
'him under tho bed with a pistol in
each hand. It took a long time to
convince the doctor that ho wasn't
really tho personation lie represen
ted.
Good Temteb. —Tho gieat moral
lubricator which makes everything
in human life run without friction,
is good temper. As soon as this is
exliaustable, tho journals of tho hu
man machine begins to heat, and
wear and the entire mechanism be
comes noisy and ruinously wasteful
of power.
‘The horse that frets, is tho horse
that swots,’ is an old saying of horse
men, and it is just as true of men as
of horses. The man that allows him
self to got irritated at every little
thing that goes amiss in his busi
ness, or in the ordinary affairs of life,
is the man, that as a rule, will ac
complish little and wear out early.
He is tho man for whom life and
disease have a partirthlnr fondness,
and for whom children have a par
ticular aversion. He is a man with
a perpetual thorn in his flesh, which
pricks and wounds ar, the slightest
movements; a man for whom life has
little pleasure, and the future little
hope.
