BT HANNAH HOPPER* * Not a cent, you young scoundrel V 4 Do you mean it, sir ?* * Did you ever know me to say any thing T didn't mean ?’ * There must always be a first time, •ir, and I didn’t know * There neverll be ailrst time with me, you ungrateful dog.* 4 I am not ungrateful, sir.* 4 Then what do yon call yourself to treat ray wishes in this way after all I’ve done for you ?’ 4 Sir, you have done much for me, and Z am grateful, how i hope to make manifest in after years, but I do not think it my duty to sacrifice my tastes, my hopes, and my talents, because of it I am ready to serve .you in any thing but this.’ Your tastes, your talents ! Your fiddlesticks! You can’t get any of your sentimental, nonsensical bosh down me. Talents 1 Don’t you know, you blunderhead, that every love-sick, silly boy can write verses and twad dle V’ Whether I know it or not is not at all to the point I have written more than yon know, Uncle Itoss, and not sentimental twaddle either.’ Written more than I know ? No doubt you have, but I’ve seen enough, and you’ll always be poor as an Indian, and you can for all me. You must just keep the fact Irtsh in your nnnd, meantime, that my purse is closed against you.’ 4 1 had rather your purse would be closed than your heart, uucle. You made your own money. I can make mine. I am not the lazy, mcicenary fellow that would give up any thing for money. I haven’t business tact, and don’t like business. I Jikc litera ture.’ 4 You like to be a fool, but you’ll rue the day. You’ll regret it. Go along your own way if you like, and sec what’ll become of you.* 4 Well sir, good morning.” ‘Wait—there’s something else 1 would give you to think ot. You needn’t think I haven’t guessed vour feelings toward Amy. I ain’t blind yet, if I am a trifle deaf, and I tell you now, George, if you won’t go into bus iness as I advise, and not be trotting around after a jack-o'lanteru, you’ll never get that girl for a wife unless you take her penniless. I meant that you should slmro the property even, and then share it nil together, but the whole thing ends here, if you persist your crazy course.’ George Grey’s face wna flushed, and i augry retort sprang to his.lips, but lie did not utter it—ho did not say any thing but ‘Good rooming,’ aud went out. Tho young scoundrel,’ muttered the old geutleman, getting up aud pacing the floor terrifically. 4 The crazy idiot, the wild puppy, the Why, uncle, who arc you abusin; iu this manner V’ said a cheery voice at his elbow, and Amy actually shook the old gentleman's arm with, consid erable force. ‘ The young scapegrace! ’ continued he, shaking his arm furiously to throw* oil* the white baud, and pulliug across the room like a steam engine. ‘ The impudent sauce-box ’ 4 Uncle, arc you crazy ?’ said Ann*, hanging to his arm and following him across the room with a skip and a jump. 4 Crazy ?’ repeated he, kicking a stool across the room with great force, and shaking his arm with redoubled energy. 4 You can't shake me off, so you might os well give up,’ said Amy. 4 Where's that young reprobate ? Go and tell him never to step his foot into this house again.’ ‘ If you mean George, why, of course, you know I’ll not do it,’ said Amy. ‘ Of course I don't know any such a thing. * I’ll have somebody mind me. You look pretty disobeying my orders. You. that was a ragged little beggar when 1 took you, and nothing but a white-faced girl now. Start yourself and tell that scamp to leave this house and never enter it again.’ • ‘ Pooh ! you just spend your breath and strength for nothing raving’round so. I guess I'd look pretty tcliiog George any such nonsense as that. 1 ‘Then you may just leave the house too, if you can't obey my orders. 1 And he pulled the boll-rope with a tremendous jerk. A servaut soon ap peared. ‘Go and tell George Grey to leave this bouse, and never enter it again,’ he said. The servant hesitated. 4 Go !* he roared, grasping a stool, and flinging it toward him. 4 When I say ‘go’ it's your business to start.’ And dodging the stool the servant fled. 4 Now, Miss,’ he said,* turning to Amy, 4 if you can't obey me you can leave also. I won’t have disobedience in my house.' 4 Dear me, uucle. you arc in an aw. tul fret. Do sit down and lake a little rest.’ 4 If you think I'm going to rest with everybody disobeying me yoi arc slightly mistaken. Put tliat cat down, If Ulpro’9 any tiling I hate it'* to girl holding a cat ia her lap, and get- ting covered with nasty cat-hairs.’ 4 You don’t want to get down, do you, pusayf said Amy, smoothing the kitten's white fur. 4 You sec, uncle, the kitten likes to sit in my lap.’ 4 I’ll havo the cat killed! * and there wem another violent pull at the bell- rope. A servant looked in. * Take that cat there and smash out its brains/ screamed the enraged colo nel But, sir/ ventured the servant None’of your‘but sir*.’ Take the cat away^I tell yon.* The servant started toward Amy, who bad wrapped the kitten safely in her white apron. You know better than to kill my white kitten, Billy/ said Amy,Smoking up with innocent eyes. Billy stopped. 4 Taxe that cat immediately/ yelled the colonel 4 But, sir,* ventured the servant. The colonel started toward Amy with vengeance stamped plainly on his face, whereupon Amy sprang up, and with the kitten in her apron ran out like a dart, her uncle after her.— She ran out tluough the front hall, and down through the garden, but the old gentleman, who u as much troub led with the rheumatism, gave up the chase, and stood at the loot of the steps, making furious motions toward her as she stood at the foot of the gar den laughing back at him. What is the house comiug to ?’ in quired the colonel of himself, as he mounted the steps with some difficulty without bis slatf, and went back into his own sitting-room. Uesanklotoa chair exhausted, and began to grow cooler, though his terrible rage had revived the rheumatic pains which he often suffered. lie sat there nearly an hour alone, thinking and trying to got rested.from his excitement and furious exercise.— Suddenly a pair of arms were thrown around his neck, aud ho received a roost uuromantic hug from Amy, who for a wonder had red eyes and a quiv ering lip. ‘Uncle, did you really mean that George should go away and never come back again? Did you, now, un cle ?’ This reference to his nephew excited the colonel's rage again. 4 The scoundrel! Did I ever say what I didn't mean? ’ he exclaimed, getting excited again. Well, uucle, you’re ciuel—there ! and Amy’s arms dropped from her un- clcs's neck, and, sinking on an otto man, she burst iuto tears. The colonel looked at her sidewa3'S from his eyes, but he didn't speak. ‘He’s gone,’ sobbed Amy, 4 and to ken all of his things ; and you are cross—though I wouldn’t mind that, I'm too used to you, but it’s so heart less in you, uncle. I didn’t think you would be quite so cruel.’ If he had done as I wanted him to, 1 said the colonel, iu a little cooler tone, everything wduld have been all right and ho would have had a heap of moucy besides.’ No, everything wouldn't have been all right; he was made for a writer, and you have no right to command liis tastes.’ 1 have a right to look out for his interests, and, when I sec him running to destruction, it’s my business to step him.’ 4 But iu order to stop him you hurry him on to what you preteud to wish him to avoid.’ ‘ lie should be sensibly I meant the iellow good. He's gone, then, has he ? ’ Yes, he'3 gone, all because you let your temper run away with you as you so often do. Please write to him. aud tell him to come hack.’ And Amy's amis were again around her uncle’s neck. 4 Only on my terms. 1 won't have my judgment thrown aside for a strip ling. Let him try his pauper business. He'll soon he tired of it. Don't fret I’ Well, if you won’t relent, you won’t. 1 suppose, so 1 won’t spend my breath teasiug.’ And Amy, who had a large share of hope and common sense, left the old gentleman again to his own medita tions. A few' months had flown, and Amy sat, as was her custom for an hour in the evening, reading to her uncle. 4 ne is no common person who writes those articles/ he said, when Amj' had finished reading journals from a very gifted pen. 4 1 tell you he can can write well. I like his style,’ he continued; but Amy was suddenly seized with a fit of coughing, having a slight coid, and was obliged to leave the room. However, she never failed to read nil the articles from that pen which appeared, and the colonel list ened with undivided aiteution. He heard nothing from his exiled nephew in the meantime, and, though he often felt conscience stricken for his harshness, and would have been glad to retract bis verdict, he kept si lent, aud a year went by. The articles from the interesting but unknown correspondent continued to a; pear in the popular journal^ and at last a book appeared written by the same author^ound a most enthusiastic welcome by the public. I would like to see the man who write* so well, and has given me so much pleasure,’ said the colonel one day. 4 He must be a worthy man, Amy, and if, George had bis talents, I wouldn’t have * • Amy cut him short. 4 Let me w rite to this correspondent ancle; and send your compliments, and Invite him to call on us. Shall IY 4 1 suppose it will do no hinn.* 4 Of coarse not. Shall I ?’ ‘Perhaps so.’ ’ The letter was ply came in 4 He’s colonel, his face beaming all over with pleasure. In a week from to-day he will bo- here'. Won’t it be a treat ?* The week passed away,atid the brill iant young author rang the bell at the colonel's residence and was ushered into the sitting-room. Amy stood behind her uncle, who stood ready to do homage to his liter ary guest. 4 1 am happy, sir/ he commenced, then the tall young man, who stood bowing with hat in hand, received a severe slap'on his shoulder, while the colonel shouted: 4 George, .you scoundrel, if you haven't played a most contemptible trick on me.’ But there was a hearty band-shaking and moistened eyes on both sides, but actual tears from Amy, who had trembled for the result. ‘Aud you were in the plot, were you?’ said the colonel to Amy, after explanations were made. 4 You are, too sharp for me altogether, two of you together so and—I suppose, I must give up.* 4 But you needn’t give me a cent of property, uncle,’ said George; 4 1 ani independent’ 4 Who would havo thought it, except those who read your at tides and book.' *1 ask one favor, however,* said George. ‘Then you are not so independent, after all.’ 4 1 want Amy for ray wife.’ 4 And does she want you for a hus band?’ ‘Yes, sir.* * 4 Then she is yours, with all the money you want, provided you'll keep on writing. I couldn’t get along with out your articles to read.’ 4 Neither shall you,’ and the story ends though the characters live. [COMM UN ICATKD.J OUR VISIT. •‘All ready!” said M. “So am I,” but where are those provoking gloves? Look here Hal, turn your pockets in side out. There you tease, I knew you had them! Good-bye!—don’t let the house burn down before we return. “Nor the cow eat the grind-stone!” saug out M. I hurried out to climb in to the cart—yes cart! Do yoa caie reader? “No!” well 1 am sure I don't; of course I should not take much pride in riding in one through thcBroadway of some city—but here, what does it matter? The dewy haze of a June moruin; is sleeping upon the woods and mur muring streams. Brighter and bright er glows the rosy tinge upon those pure beautiful, fleecy clouds, lingering near the eastern horizon, like Persian fife worshippers, to catch the first beam of the God of day. 1 was aroused from dreams of ill-fated llafcd and his A7ab girl, who sleeps beneath Oman’s greeu watere, by M’s. request, “to hold on to the old giey while he lit his pipe.” I looked up—we were at a settlors home; the whole family came out and instetetf on our eating some warm breakfast. We did—aud enjoyed the nice curds and cream, and fragrant coffee. Once more on our way—jolt—jolt over the palmetto roots this spriugless cart earns us, (I do hate to ride in one) regardless of ihc bruises, black and blue we were receiving, How thankful I am that the worst of the roads is past and we are approach ing the prairie. Even old grey steps along more briskly, unheeding the mauy flowers he is crushing. “Ti s sad to think so many beautiful flowers, waste their sweetness on the desert air.” Oh, how iliosc whirling partrid ges startle one! What is it 1 see near that pond, glancing in the sun t-cams? Curlews; as we approach nearer, they rise in pink and white clouds to seek some other plfico where undisturbed, they may feed. What comfort those sleek cows are taking, kncc-dccp iu cool water, lazily winking the insects fiom their dreamy eyes. There is a farmers house; and if any of the fam ily arc at home they are Pure to come out and invite us to stay for dinner. •Yes, here they come, the old lady, pipe in mouth—sajs “come in: 1 am glad to see you, for we have lots of nice fish for dinner.” We thank the kind soul, but keep bn oUr way. There on the right is a large Necropolis, in which lie “cheek by jowl,” mauy grim warriors who on< e* ranged the flats in search of game. And here a word cn- jxissanL Organic remains taken from this mound are of immense size, and look as if they oucc belong to a race of giants—but future zoologist* must theorize and arrive at conclusions. Ah! what is that, which starts and pauses, with antlered bead thrown np? A wild ash deer. Quick M., your gun. How exciting! I too feel some of the hunter a spirit rising within me; with beating heart I stand np in the cart to watch M’s., stealthy cat-like creeping around that clump of tree*. Now he i* going to fire, I resume my seat and the line* to clasp band over my cars. He is down—up again and away, now for a hard run f down once more and dead as Hector! M. shoulders and brings him to the cart. Dear mere}'! Isay you are a nice spectacle to a visiting—with those muddy panta an*! that bloody shirt. Will come right when washed, he serenely replies. (How provoking men can be; yester- hammocks—where the cabbage pal mettos rear their gigantic tranks, and wave their green plumes in the balmy air. There goes a flocl? of paroquets with gay plumage, like winged jewels they glance in and oat of their leafy covert. Once more a prairie—with its waving grass, and thousand of wild fowls wheeling in circles over head. At last we are in sight of our frieods home. I see the the smoke curling so gracefully above tlje green oaks; hrtir the word ofwelcome. Wc had a de lightful visit of two days and nights. A pleasant, refined and educated fam ily. We bade them with regret; fare well. As we travel bo&eward the sun sinks behind the West era clouds, the shadows deepen—the birds one by one sing tbeir vesper song and seek repose. The round laughing moon is rising! How beautiful the dew is on grass and flower! That picturesque old tree, which throws such fantastic shadows athwart the road, sparkles as if a wave of Alladin’s lamp had showered on It all the gems of Golcondo. How frightfully discordant the hooting of that owf!—it makes my flesh creep- being associated in my mind with In dians, tomahawks and scalps. Now we cross a brook, which smiles and brightens in the moon beams. IIow cmblamatic of woman’s fidelity —and man’s inconstancy! this little brook sees but the one moon—the moon looks down on many brooks ! That old farm house looks really beau tiful, softened by the moon light; ami how still! “Tinkling bells arc heard no more, and daily toils forgot.” Justus we were cungratulutiug our selves on a speedy arrival at home, one of the tires took a notion to come off; hut before it accomplished its de sign, M. gave it a wedging and chuck ing and every half mile the same op eration had to bo repeated. Thegcntlc sea breeze caused a drow sy feeling to steal over me; I was just entering I he vestibule of morpheus when a rumbling noise recalled me; “the bridge” I said, and dozed once more, and dreamed, (how wonderful are dreams!) in a twinkling, for it could not have been longer, of toiling a long weary way upn mountain; just as 1 reached the summit, my foot slip ped—down—down, I sunk. I could hear the roaring waters beneath, in a moment I was awake, and knew I was falling from that nboraninblc old curt. At first I thought the bridge had given away, and that myself, cart and horse were going to tho bottom ot the deep creek. No, the bridge was all right— I had gotten too far back andfof course the body had to tilt. I fell-first, then followed bags of salt, nails, tobacco aud bundles, “too numerous to men tion.” M. was walking a short dis tance in advance nnd did not know what was up, (or rather down.) “Do come back,” I cried “we are in a dreadful fix!” He did come—aud pro voked me, by his peal after peal of Laughter. What under tho moou arc you laughing at ? “At you, did you think you were gone ?” Such a lime I did have freeing myself from that cart- wreck. Some light nrlicles fell be tween the puncheons’ (this took place on the bridge,) and flouted merrily down stream. We did not have more than a mile to go, so fixed up cart and bags the best wc could. * M. gives one of his long keen whis tles—wo listen for an answer—hero it comes, borne on the breeze, and is, to my listening ear, music sweeter than ever floated from an Atolian Harp, played upon by the winds of heaven. It says “welcome home, mother, all is ell.” L. JOS. TINNEGAN & CO. COTTON FACTORS —AND— COMMISSION MERCHANTS, 94 Bay St., (Jones’ Block) SAVANNAH, GA. Bagging and Ties furnished at the lowest rates.

The romancer of the Detroit Press talks as follow: 44 A Detroiter named Andrew Steed- man, who buys cattle, deales in hides, and occasionally makes a dollar by buying and selling produce, went to Nankin township a few days ago to buy a span of heavy horses which was wanted by a firm in the city. Upon reaching the farmers house, he fouud that the man was working with neighbor a mile away. To save the distance he cut across lots, but was warned before he started to look out for a savage bovine widen had the run of a ten acre field. Thinking how he was going to get the span of hordes for 250 less than their value, Steed man kept plodding through the field, which had a strip of bushes two or three rods wide running across it. There was a few stumps and logs, and one small tree, hut nothing which prevented any one from crowing the strip. The Detroiter was about ten rods trom the hushes when he heard a distant thunder sound, and looked around to see which way the shower was coming. About thirty rods away he beheld the old bovine coming lor him, head down, hack up, aud eyes blazing. Steedman was satisfied that be was the man who was wanted aud he went for the hushes. He thought the bull would stop and run around the strip and was startled when the ole fellow dashed through them on his trail, uttering a deep boom, stant. Steedman dodzed this that, but him, was not over to the tog orifice about enough to be roomy, seen the movement, the tog and ripped off John Oliver, ftCtUSE & StQtt Psfater* GtLBER& GLAZIER* So 3 WUtalu, Stnct, N .BTCoer r., Im SAVAKXAn, a A. dealer nr Sashe*, niinib, Door*, MouMitt-*, Paint*, Oib, Window Glass, Putty, Brushes, and all Painters’ and GUder*’ M A T B Xh I A.
