UNMASKED.
BY “BF.SA,”
CHAPTER I.
It} - should we rave at the bright
heart inspiring scenes of the Orien
tal Clime ? ‘Where the feathery
palm trees rise,’ or where the dark
eyed maiden tunes her guitar ‘neath
the bright blue sky, of sunny Italy,
iu l-espouse to the charming night
ingales notes. Or why should we
long to wander among orange bow
ers, and drink in their intoxicating
fragrance and beauty ? when oiteu
scenes as lovely aud soul stirring as
these are before us, and were they
transplanted to a foreign clime,
would cause many to chant its beau
ty, grow eloquent over its loveliness,
and perfectly sublime over its mag
nificent grandeur.
So thought pretty Winnifred May,
as she stood on the little rustic
bridge that spans the rippling stream
Fern Brook, one lovely night in In
dian summer. And really nothing
could surpass the beautiful picture
that met her enthusiastic gaze. The
leaves of the tall poplars were light
ed up by the sparkling hues of the
bright silver moon, which cast long
fanciful shadows on the green sward,
while the ferns that fringed the mar
gin of the little brook sparkled, and
the ripples of the stream seemed as
if converted by magic into precious
pearls, while the faint breezes was
laden with the odor of the bright
autumn flowers, and now mowed
hay. The scene was indeed pictur
esque, and Winnie May was awed
with its silent and magnificent beau
ty, wholly nnconcious that her slight
girlish figure, with u blue scarf
gracefully thrown across her shoul
ders, as she seated herself on a large
rock on the rustic bridge, was the
finishing touch to the beautiful pic
ture. Although some to look into
that fresh young face; with its large
grey eyes, and their long brown
lashes, and the somewhat large
month, with the red tempting lips,
would say there was nothing partic
ularly fascinating in it, and yet, all
would confess that there is inno
cence and simplicity that charms,in
spite of the irregular features.
She is a merry affectionate crea
ture, and only daughter of Eldred
May aud his invalid wife, who lives
in the large stone house on the hill,
just above the little stream, called
Fern Brook from the great number
of ferns that grew on its banks. Mr.
May had once been considered very
wealthy, and prided himself on his
English blood, tracing a whole line
of descendants, from the landing of
the pilgrams to the present time.
He would spend whole hours with
the musty old portraits so gracefully
hung in his parlor and library, while
Winnie would run shuddering away,
wondering in her heart why her
father could find so much pleasure
iu the time worn picture of some
Cavalier with a rapier and buckles,
or some ancient dame, with pow
dered hair. He would become
thoroughly disgusted with his child
for not possessing more of his
boasted blue blood, and yet was very
fond of her, his chief aim being for
her to bo so fortunate in marrying
as to build up his decayed fortunes.
So when he made the discovery, that
Winnie was liking handsome Claude
Hamilton, rather more than a friend,
be determined to nip the passion in
the bud, and gave the young gentle
man to understand his visits were
not desired by him at the Tower,
as he named the dark old building
on the hill, and congratulated him
self on his success, as Claude sud
denly obeyed the polite demand,
and after a few days of clouded brow
and swolen eyes, from Winnie, she
again became as lively as ever, her
father not dreaming of the meetings
on the bridge after he aud retired,
or know of the vows of lovo and !
constancy uttered by the youthful j
pair, as they met at their usual trys
ting place, on the feru covered
banks,bathed by the soft rays of the
moon. And who can feel surprised
that poetry and sentiment flowed
from the lips of the young lovers;
for who of us has not beeu young .
Aud no matter how unromantic and
A COUNTRY NEWSPAPER FOR THE MASSES—DEVOTED TO CIVILIZATION AND MONEY-MAKING.
TALBOTTON GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 21,1876.
matter of fact we may be, there is a
spells a charm, in moonshine poetry
and flowers.
Claudo Hamiltou was a worthy
young farmer, that had lost his pa
rents when quite small, and had
been reared by au uncle who had a
large family of his own; believing in
making each one earn his bread by
the sweat of his brow, and Claude
had earned every mouthful ho had
eaten. His education had been ob
tained during ‘odd times,* as the
old man declared too much educa
tion spoiled boys, and to burn a
candle after nine o'clock, was a
gross offence. So we find our friend
with an inferior education, a source
of great annoyance to him, awaiting
as he was his twenty-first birth day
to relieve him from the stern discip
line of his task master. He loved
Winnie May, whom he had known
all his life, and though he vowed his
undying love for her, who had
turned from her throng of admirers
so coldly, and had placed her afl'oe
tipn on him, yet a thought of mar
riage had scarcely entered their
little silly romantic heads. For they
knew Mr. May had placed a high
value upon her, and the greatest
amount of gold would purchase the
prize, and Claude was not a little
better off in worldly goods, than the
noted church mouse, save a brave
young heart, and willing hands,
which were to secure for him his lit
tle Winnie, who we have found sit
ting upon the old rock, and anxious
ly awaiting some, onefor she says :
‘Ho is rather lato to-night. Why
does he not come ?’ throwing a small
pebble into tlio bright sparkling
waters. At that moment a quick
elastic step was heard and Claude
threw his straw hat, at her feet, and
taking her hands, exclaimed:
‘My dear little Winnie, you have
been waiting for me, but I could not
possibly leave earlier. That old
curmudgeon had to harangue mo. on
my devoting a little time to rending,
which he ever grudges, and as I
came through the gate a neighbor
handed me this letter, after reading
which, I returned and almost gave
the old fellow an attack of apoplexy,
by pointedly, aud very emphatical
ly, letting him know I was going to
California. Oh, my dear Winnie, I
know yon will rejoice to know I am
going to leave a home that has al
ways been very unpleasant to me.
My father’s half-brother has sudden
ly remembered lie has a half nephew,
and writes me to come to him, for he
is almost helpless and must have
someone to look after his affairs.
He offers rao great inducements, as
he is immensely wealthy, with no
children, or anyone to inherit his
wealth but myself. This proposi
tion looks as prospective to me as
freedom to the Africans, for you
know I have occupied the position of
an under-servant so long. Dearest
Winnie, are you not glad ?' and the
young man raised her face, which
had been bowed to conceal the tears
that would come to her eyes, no
matter how much she tried to keep
them back. ‘Nay, my darling, do
you not see kind fortune has been
opening a way for us ? In a few
years I will be rich, and then your
father can no longer use my pover
ty as a barrier to our union.
‘Yes, Claude, of course I rejoice at
your good fortune, but California i.s
so far, and a few years absence and
so many changes, I shudder to think
of my lonely life during your ab
sence; it seems as an eternity of
darkness,’ and she covered her face
with her hands, as if to shut out the
dark vision.
‘Oh, Winnie! I will not go from
you if it gives you pain, I will write
uncle I will not come. Do not cry
my little sunbeam, Claude will not
leave you,’ and a world of tender
ness and affection was in his tones,
and vet, as well might have been
noticed a tinge of disappointment.
‘How selfish and foolish I have
been,’ said Winnie, removing her
hands and speaking hurriedly. ‘Of
course you must go, I would not
! have you miss it for worlds, much
I less for such a little simpleton as I.
Go, and get the gold you are to ex
change for my valuable sell, and you
will find me awaiting you, for I will
be true unto death,’ said Winnie,
playfully at first, but ending with a
choking sob.
‘That is what troubles mo most,’
exclaimed Claude. ‘Your father is
determined yon shall marry wealthy,
for he cannot allow his old Fnglish
customs and notions to flag for the
want of the spendvHcks, and I fear
ho will force you into a union with
someone and when /return you will
be the bride of another.'
‘I have always been looked upon
as a child, showing no resentment,
but I toll you now Claude, if my fa
ther commences that game, ho will
find I am not so much an object of
traffic as they suppose. Do not fear
for me, but look to yourself that you
do not become a recreant Knight,
and return from thfe land of gold
with a flashing-eyed beauty for your
bride, forgetful of your poor broken
hearted Winnie. But hark, did you
not hear a stop ?’ and they looked in
the direction from which a slight
rustling was hoard. Claudo walked
to the spot but returned, declaring
it to boa reptile or some kind of au
animal.
‘ 1 Then do you propose to start?’
asked Winnie.
‘To-morrow. I wish to go as
early as possible. My uncle sent
money to defray my expenses, and
you know I will not have much
trouble with my wardrobe;’ and
Claudo laughed scornfully. ‘Here is
my mother’s ring, wear it for ray
sake, I hope when iu two years I
return, to find this little circlet of
gold, that my sainted mother so
fondly cherished, still on your finger.
If you get involved iu trouble, send
me this littlo talisman and I will re
turn, no matter where. It is grow
ing late, your absence will bo dis
covered. Winnie be faithful to me,’
Claude continued.
But lot us draw a curtain over the.
sad parting of the young lovers.
Thev sepiarated, aud could Claude
Hamilton but know the many trials,
and years of misery to come, before
he again beholds that graceful form,
now going so sadly to her home,
gladly would he remain beneath the
hated roof of Ids mercenary relative
to protect her from a scheming foe.
Seeing her enter the gate he wiped
a tear from his eyes, and hurriedly
walked away to prepare for his long
journey. But scarcely hud their
footsteps died away, as they passed
from the old bridge, when a figure
emerged from the trees, where it had
been crouching, and stepping out in
the bright moonlight, a tall queenly
form is revealed. She is beautiful
to belli Id, but there is passion de
picted iu that white face, with its
flashing blue eyes. She clasps her
hands across her brow, and at last
pointing in the direction Winnie
had gone, said fiercely:
•Dream on little simpleton, for
your sweet dreams will have an
awakening. You have robbed me
of the only being on earth I love;
and ho spurns me for you. You
who still have ids tender parting
kisses burning on your lips, and your
promises of everlasting fidelity
wringing in his years. I know 1m
has not given mo even so much as a
passing thought, when I would bar
ter my own soul for one loving
.lord;’ and the proud head was
bowed, but only for a while, for sud
denly raising it, she continued more
fiercely:
•/ hero swear by all that is pure
or fiendish, that Claude Hamilton
and Winnie May, shall never marry,
j Dear cooing doves, take care of your
j precious selves, for tlio falcon is near
| you, arid I fear she will not hesitate
| to bury her talons in your hearts, if
she cannot accomplish her aims
otherwise;’ and with a mocking,
hollow laugh, the woman disap
peared in the shadows of the trees.
(to be continued.)
A Touching* Incident.— A noble
man who diedji few years since, had
a chest all locked up, but marked:
“To be removed first in ease of fire.”
When he died, his friends opened
that chest, supposing, of course, that
some valuable document or deed of
property, rich jewelry or costly plate
would be found in it. But what did
•
they find ? They found the toys of
his little child, who had gone before
him. Jiicher to him were they than
all the world’s wealth, richer than
his coronet; brighter than all the
jewels that sparkeled on its crest.
Not his estate, not his jewels, not
his equipage, nothing glorious and
great in this world; but the dearest
objects to him were the toys of his
ittle child.
Art of Work.
The secret lies in keeping the ma
cliino in order. To do this observe
the following rules :
Ist. Amuse yoursolf. This is the
first principle of good, hard work.
And the second is like unto it.
2d. Don’t work too much, It is
the quantity not the quality of work
that kills. Therefore,
3d. Work only in the day time.
Night, was made for sleep. And
4th. Best on Sunday.
sth. Go to work promptly but
slowly. A lato hurried start keeps
you out ol breath all day trying to
catch up.
6th. When you stop work,,forget
it. It spoils tho brain to simmer
after a hard boil.
7th. Feed regularly, largely, and
slowly. Lose no meal; approach it
respectfully and leave gracefully.
No more can begot out of a man
than is put into him.
Bth. Sleep one-third of your whole
life. How 1 hate tho moralist who
croak over time wasted iu sleep. Be
sides sleep, is on tho whole tho most
satisfactory mode of existence.
9th. Don't abuse tobacco. Enjoy
it, but not as an unconscious habit.
Burn no inconso thoughtlessly on
t ho altar of this god of good diges
tion and peace of mind.
10th. Keep whiskey for emergen
cies. Like religion, it is too good
for every day use, and should bo re
spected accordingly.
11 tii. Focus your brnins as you
would a burning glass. Butter
enough for a small slice won't do
for a whole loaf.
12th. Keep empty-headed be
tween times. Mental furniture should
bo very select. Useless lumber in
the upper story is worse than a
pocketful oyster shells. Leave your
facts on your book shelves, where
you can find them when wanted. A
walking encyclopindia cannot work
for want of room to turn round in its
own head.
13tli. Don't tax your memory.
Make a memorandum and put it in
your pocket. Every unnecessary
thought is so much waste of effective
force.
14th. Don't believe that muscular
exorcise counteracts head work.
Brain and muscle are bung-hole and
spigot of the same barrel.
15th. Don't hide your light under
a bushel. Not that the light is of
any special consequence, but you
might set the bushel on fire.
16th. Pin your faith to tho genius
of hard work. It is tho safest, most
reliable and most manageablo sort
of genius.
■ ♦ -
To Prevent a Town from Thriving.
—lf you want to keep a town from
thriving don't put up any more
buildings in it than you can con
veniently occupy yourself. If you
should accidently have an empty
dwelling, and anyone should wish to
rent it, ask him three times the value
of it. If you ask five dollars an acre
for a piece of land, and you find a
purchaser willing to give that
amount, ask him ten. Turn a cold
shoulder on every mechanic and
business man hunting a home in
your midst. Look upon every new
comer with suspicion. Never lei
your family visit anew settler, or
your children associate with thoir
children. In a word, treat all stran
gers as if they were rascals until
they can provo that they arc not.
Abuse every other plnco but your
own, and give all your neighbors a
bad name. Afagnify their faults
just ns much ns possible. Go abroad
for wares rather than trade with
those who seek to do business in
your midst. Fail to advertise, or in
any other way to support your
county pflpor, so people abroad will
not know whether any business is
going on in your town or not. If
this don't keep a town from thriving
then we know of nothing that will.
An Indianapolis wife caught her
husband kissing tho family dress
maker—a woman decidedly repul
sive in form and features—and, in
stead of flying into a rage and faint
ing away, she simply remarked, in a
touchingly sad tone of voice, “John!
I must say that your taste is more
to be condemned than your morals.”
The sweetest mouth in the world
is the one that says civil things
pleasantly and talks no scandal.
Push. —This simple littlo word of
four letters contains n world of wis
dom. Push moans business, energy
and go-aheaditiveness. It means
strict attention to business, be what
it may ! It does not mean crowding
and jostling, and an unfair advan
tage taken of your follow-being, but
it means wide awake, looking after
every opportunity to bettor your
self in an honorable way.
The boy or girl, who has “push”
in them, is bound to succeed. For
tune smiles on such, for they do not
loiter on the way, but keep their
eyes steadily on tho goal, push on.
Tho scholar who resolves to push
his studies, wins his way to tho front
rank. Tho girl who pushes on, is
never left behind.
Push is a valuable watchword—a
stiring incentive to enterprise. Then
do not let this word bo merely an
empty sound, but push onward and
upward the steep hard hill of life.
And do not forget to push on in tho
hotter way, so that when life is al
most yvor, you will be found still in
the upward way—pushing on tr the
bettor land.
A Great Mother. Tlio mother of
John Quincy Adams said, in a letter
to him when only twelve years old :
“I would rather see you laid in your
grave, than grow up a profane and
graceless boy.”
A r ot, long before his death a gen
tleman said to him: “I havo found
out who made you.”
“What do you mean ?” asked Mr.
Adams.
The gentleman replied: “I have
been reading the published letters of
vour mother."
“If,“ this gentleman relates, “I
had spoken that dear name to some
little boy who bad been weeks away
from his mother, his eye could not
have flashed more brightly, nor his
face glowed more quickly than did
the eyes of that venerable old man
when I prououncod tlio name of his
mother. 1 '
Ho stood up in his peculiar man
ner and said: “Yes, sir; all that is
good in me I owe to my mother."
Paralei.u of the .Sexes.—There is
an admirable partition of tho quali
ties between tho sexes, which the
author of our being has distributed
to each with a wisdom that chal
lenges our unbounded admiration:
Man is strong—woman is beauti
ful.
Man is daring and confident—
woman is diffident and unassuming.
Man is great in action—woman in
suffering.
Man shines abroad—woman at
homo.
Man talks to convince—woman to
persuade and please.
Man lias a rugged heart—woman
a soft and tender one.
Man prevents misery—woman re
lieves it.
Man has science—woman has
taste.
Man lias judgment—woman has
sensibility.
Man is justice—woman an angel
of mercy.
A clever robbery was perpetrated
in the Globe Hotel, Philadelphia a
few days ago. A Yew York gentle
man and lady left their room tem
porarily and tho chambermaid en
tered to attend to her regular du
ties. While sho was there a well
dressed couple entered and assumed
to be the rightful occupants of the
room; while the man occupied the
attention of tlio maid, the woman
ransacked trunks,bureau and closets,
and look away $5,000 worth of jew
elry, a valuable laco shawl and other
articles. Moral—leave your valua
bles at homo.
Imaginary Frioiit. —All nurses
should be careful not to dispirit or
frighten their patients. By a mis
take a married lady in London
gave her husband, who was suffer
ing from heart disease, a dose from
a wrong bottle, labelled “Poison.”
The mistake was immediately de
tected, but there wiis no poison in
the bottle; the patient,, however, was
so frightened that ho died tho same
afternoon.
Don't let your angry passions rise
because your neighbors advertise
and draw away the dimes; but bold
; ly do as they have done, pursue the
I same course they have begun, and
drive away the dull times.
