He had never seen young 'Coverdale, and that young gentleman living well aware of the antipathies of his contemplated father-in law towards schoolmasters and their ilk, prudently refrained from vi«iUi« Busan at her h#nfe. The accommodations «f the house <#% maternal mint nTßusaM, in Stanhope, were vouchsafed them, her uncle, the harness maker, rather liking, than otherwise, tlieir clandestine visits. In this wav the lovers managed to keep the fire on the altar oldheir hearts fann ed to a Imght flame.! The itripaiient Oor erdale desired to bring bis suit to an is sue, but the dutiful Busan would no* 1 consent to an elopement. With the hope of modifying her sire’s views on the sub ject of education, she had introduced the theme, with what success if recorded above. That night, after family prayers, quite au.i animated colloquy took place be tween Sn.san’s parents. The door of Su sans chamber . being ajar, she became an innocent listener to the Conversation, which, as it concerned herself alone, proved rat er interesting. Mother Lippe was in Pusan * secret, ami favored it with aU uer might. ‘'Now, old man,” said she, as that functionary was covering tip the fire, that last tiling oelore going to bed, ’tis downright uiyau iu you to oppose Susan’s ijees about larniug.

Gabby, the shoemaker, who has about as much of au ijee of I books as a hog has of meetin. ” “There’s no mite of use argufying about it, old woman ; I'm sot.” “And so am I,” replied the irate dame; “And we’ll see who’ll sit to the most pnr {>cse. If Susuu oan’t many the kind of 1 man she wants to, she call stay at borne, | awl that’s the end of it. I With this clincher Mother Lippe turn- I ed her face to the wall, and refused to ’ say another word. Iu the meantime, Henry Coverdale I was gradually winniug his way to euii ; nauee. Asa speaker, he stood brad and shoulders above any of the young men. his associates at the bar. The results o» i his efl’orts also began to flow in upon him iu a golden stream. Vet, still he re maiued a bachelor, though many won dered. Still there were no signs of old Mr. Lippe relax.ng in the least from his views on “education.” However, things wore destined to hope themselves entirety different to what a mere observer might reasonably ope to expect. This grew out of Coverdale’s love for ntsan, which now assumed the cast of impatience. One day a young man in homespun arb presented himself at the house of old Mr. Lippe, and inquired if he want 'd to hire a hand on the farm. The oid farmer eyed him for some mo ments, and finding him remarkably well favored and knit-together, said ; Where are you from?” “1 live at Monroe, e i eu at home," re plied the young man.” '‘iiiiint'a on. a ■ sum J” ••{Vs, « ‘ ' ‘•.Aboin how mueh do you want a orttii ?” ‘•Whatever you think is light.” ■p Loll'd never get along in the world, III*! Toil .lriv« a better bargain than ‘hat;’*' said Mr. Lippe. V*iT sliali w..r . month for twenty dollars, and 'ifte..., that, if we suit one another, we’ll bargain for a year.” ' “Agreed,” said the young man, and was forthwith installed as a hired band. As the reader guesses, the hand was none other Minn Harry Coverdale, who ll.ui commenced to put into op* ration a plan to gain the old man’s consent to his union with Susan. Time wagged along. Old Lippe was mightily pleased with his hired hand, and often praised him to the women folks. Indeed, he looked with u degree of com placency on Iris attentions to Susan, w hich began to be marked, and Cover dais wigs, on the pond »£ pqppiiig tin question, w\i?o n/circumstnitce caused biiu to postpone it for a short season. The circumstance was us follows : The farm of Mr. Lippe was a part of a tract, the title of which hail formerly been in dispute, though it was in deed and in equity his. Just at this time one of those land sharks that infest the coun ty raked up a worthless claim, and enter ed suit for possession This, proceeding was so obviously absurd ami rascally, that Mr. Lippe merely laughed at it, although at the advice of his hired hand he appeared at court to refute the elaiin ; supposing, however, that his bare word would be all sufficient to dispose of the scoundrel of a laud shark. His hired hand also con cluded so lose the day and go with him, iii order, lie said, “to see what a judge aud court were like.” Old Mrs. Lippe and Susan ■ so impn- Lnied themTfor the purpose of making spine j purchases, as they could get better liar ! gains in the country town than ill Btaii hope. The conversation of the family had placed Henry Coverdale iu full posses sion of the facts in the case, anil he had manifested such au interest jn the affair, and appeared to be so anxious as to the result, that the old man was not astonish ed at seeing him enter the bar and take a chair by hia side. He noticed also, [that hie dame and Busan were among the spectators in the court room. The ease was called, and the lawyer •or the plaintiff’ arose and made out so plausible a statement that it enraged the ■ fid man.dreadfully, so much so that he Could seircely contain himself until the ! awyer concluded. Xue moment he sat dowu the old man sprang to his feet. “Bee here,” exclaimed he. “Here are deeds, aud every man in this court room i auows me well enough to know that 1 ! never got them by rascality, or claimed ! more than what was justly nime.” ; “All this may be true,” replied the i judge, “but the court demands legal prooi, relative to the points at issue. J presume you have au attorney, Mr. Lippe.” “Never said a ward to a single one. I never thought it worth while,” said the oid man, perfectly aghast at the turn matters were taking. At this stage Lippe’s hired hand rose to his feet. “May it please the court, I will under take the case for Air. Lippe,” said he. “A pretty case you’U make of it,” said the old man. “You can plow corn a wonderful sight better,” I “I assure Mr. Lippe that Mr. Cover dale is perfectly competent to the task,” said the judge, who was well acquainted j with the young lawyer, aud who, though i ignorant of his present relations, fancied he smelt a joke iu the actions of the parties. “Mebbe your honor is right,” said Mr. Lippe ; “but a plague take me if you don’t find him a likely sight bettor farm hand than lawyer.” A general titter ran around the bar. The suit proceeded. The young at torney having previously mastered the whole ground, entered into the merit with sueh fore-* and clearness as astonish ed even the court. But how shall wo print the surprise of old Mr. Lippo ! It took him by storm. At every word of the youug lawyer he seemed to distend with astonishment, until his amazement was something so ridiculously appalling as to convulse the entire audience with laughter. Pea! after peal resounded, and even the fat sides of the judge, for getting their gravity, seemed ready to shake to pieces with merriment. “Who, who, are you V” at last ga pea the old man. “Sit down, Mr. Lippe,” said Cover dale. “I am -.attending to the case.” Then stooping he whispered in his ear ; “I am trying to <-aru Busan.” “She’s yours,” shouted the old man regardless of the bystanders, or the court, which having now ail inkling of the matter, gave loose reign to their jubilant feelings. Hi w Susan felt, however, can be better imagined tliau described. She blushed like one of her mother’s pelouies, and hastily hid her face in her veil. When the merriment had subsided and old Lippe had secured libs equanimity, the happy attorney proceeded, mid finally a-ate'»< cd-sa a i':|s<- for Ins involuntary ■•u ntf .i.i can al tin jq igetto dismiss the suit. ’Tjie oUI ijift i l-'l’t the court in triumph, and v ith his hired hand, pro ceeded forthwith to the clerk’s office, where a license was procured. The judge gave the court a short recess and united the Ipq.ipy pair in the bonds of matrimony. Since .That event, Mr. Lippe has changed his vie n.-.on educational mutters, jno oilier uay a. Judge Coverdale was .ejaAng home to his iseut in Congress, he said to his > ruudsoii : “Lippe Coverdale, get your lessons well, anil who knows but what you’ll go to Long less, too. “Who knows !” exclaimed the happy Busan. THE BOOMERANG. Interesting /nets About the Singular Weapons used bg the native* of Aus tralia. A traveler teds us something of the singular weapon used by the natives of Australia, the boomerang. He saw them used by the natives. They ranged from two feet to thirty-eight inches in length, and were of various shapes, all curved a little and looking, as lie descrihoH them, something like a wooden hew moon. They were made of a dark, heavy wood and weighed from one to three pounds. In thickness they vary from half au inch and taper to a point at,each etui. Ona of the natives picked up the piece of wood, and, poising it an instant, threw it, giving it a rotary motion. Fur the first hundred feet er more it went straight ahead. Then it tacked to the left and arose slightly, still rotating rap idly. It kept, this latter course for a hundred feet more perhaps, but hihii veered to the left again, describing a broader crate, and a fnonMC later fell to the earth six or eight feet in front of the thrower, having described nearly a circle hr the air. Auother'iiative then took the same boomerang anil cast it, holding it with the same grip. It took the same course, but made broader curves, and as it came round the black caught it hand somely in liis right hand. Another na tive then threw it and lodged it on the ground about twenty feet behind him, after it had described a circle of two hundred yards or upwards. After him they all tried it anil but one failed to bring the weapon back to the spot where they stood. Carnboo, a native, then se lected from the heap of boomerangs an other one, and cast it with a sort of jerk. It flew for forty or fiftv yards, whirling like a top. Then it darted into the air, mounting fully 100 feet, aud came over our heads, where it seemed to hang sta tionery, for a moment, then settled slow ly, still whirling, till he caught it. Two others of the blacks then did the same thing- Aleaiiwhile 1 bad shaved a iitlie of the wood from the convex Hide of one of the boomerangs. This was now offered to them to throw. One took it without noticing what I had done, poised it, but stoppeu snort, but with a contemptuous glance at my improvement threw it dowu aud exclaimed: “Bale biulgerv !” (no good,) The others then looked at it cautiously, but it was also a bale budger to them. No one could he induced to throw it. Meyers asked them why they did not use it, but they could not give a defiuite answer. It was plain they did not like the way it poised, when held in the hand, yet I could not tell any differ ence whatever between this and the oth er wcafions. THOMSON, GA. DECEMBER 22.1875. Burleigh then walked to a distance of two hundred feet or more from the blacks and bid CarhoO to throw at him. j Tlle native looked at him a moment, ' rather curiously, then comprehending ’ 'vhat was want-d, ho selected oue of the i heaviest of the missiles, and turning ; half around, threw it with great force iu | a direction almost opposite from Um: | wll ere Burleigh stood. The weapon sped i smartly for sixty or seventy feet, then tacked iu an instant aud flew directly at j Burleigh, and had lie, not most expedi | tiously ducked, he would have received j a hal'd thump, if nothing worse. It ; struck the ground twenty or thirty puces | beyond. This feat brought out n broad t grin aud someth ng like a chuckle from ; the whole of them, ('tuboo even inti mated that he would like to try it anoth er cast, but Burleigh expressed himself hilly satisfied.. Mr.--- ..(.another of our party), however, offered to ‘take a shot,’ but. not at too short a rnngo. We were j standing in front of one of the store houses. Carboo placed in front of | the door, and stood with his hack to him, ] with ‘abandon his shoulder. None of us knew what sort of a manoeuvre he had 111 mind, not even Myers. Standing in this position, the black threw the Ikio merung straight ahead. Immediately it curved ill the air. Then it disappeared nrbnud the corner of the building, and before ho had time to guess what was meant it came around the other end (having passed completely around the storehouse and gave him a sound slap on the back which made his eyes snap., --a: •*.. A Vexy Am'hint Wall i* Mississippi. —About eighteen miles from Port Gib son, and one mile from Brandywine springs, on the place of Mr, O’Qmn, the existence of a great number of blocks ol cut stone has been known for an indefi nite time, and the people in the neighbor hood have used them for props for their hoitils. Mr. James (iage, jr , went out there a few days ago to ex,.lire, aud had a specimen stone brought, into town. It is about three feet fi i.g, ab nt twenty inches square, r; s. inbi ijg in s ape a bar of soap. It is probsb y; a nut ve sand stone. Mr. Gage took this block him" self from.beneath flu; roots of a large pine tree. It formed a portion Os a wall about twenty feet triad on the top, which Mr. Gage traced for n distance ol two hundred and fifty yards. The infer ence that one would nalmally dtuw from this superficial view is that tlii., must have been a city w b, but deep exp.lorn j (ion might show if -ki portion of a j fort, temple or oth- r hiwUling.

McCall, pastor of the Baptist Church iu Hawkins ville, in a letter to the Christian Index, in speaking ol a family (fathering at the home of his father, Kev. AJ. N.
