I; w s a lowly spring morning. Ali
' natiii-c seemed.iu ecstacy ut the prospect
jot approaching summer. I aloue was
sad. 1 could not help feeling that I had
made a mistake, and that I must have
| lowered myself considerably in the esti
| matioii of old Mr. Ciaveriug by appear
. ing so thoughtless and inconsiderate.
1 True, I was but nineteen,' pud having
I lost nay father early, had been brought
j up nnd educated by my mother alone,
and so perhaps had rather less knowledge
i of the world than I should have acquired
; had I been sent to a public school or to
i the university.' My position was by no
| means a bad olio. The only- son of a
i distinguished military officer- who was
ret wealthy, but left what little he Ind -
to iiis widow during her lifetime. T
i might be said to nave jiossi'saod a good
; education, and what wasperhaps better,
good prospects. I had been invited by
i Mr. C avering, who wis and old military
; Oicmndeof my father’s to spend a month |
with him at his residence at Mareoombe
Bay. During my stay I had learned
first to like and .then to love his daught
er Bessie, anti when my visit approached
its termination had not only declared my
love, but had asked permission to marry,
with what result is known. liavmgabeen
always tolerably well supplied” witi)
money. 1 i.ad never yet been brought
face to face with the great educator of
hums itv—the necessity of earning one’s
bread—and was, therefore; lather iguo
raut of some of the principal duties of
Ufa than unmindful of them. The bluff,
common-sense of Bessie's father had
compelled me to consider matters from a !
practical point of view, ami l was now ]
perhaps more angry with myself than j
with any one ei-.e. I walked on but tin- !
ally resolved to return to the cottiu.. !
aud saddle Moro for a ride. Morn had j
been uiv father's charger, and had been j
left mo, w.tli particular iir,.motions us
to his care. He wivi a splendid horse of
jet black color, of enormous strength.
By the kindness of my host I had been
allowed to bring him with me. and many
a pleasant ride hud I had on hie back
with Bessie Ciaveriug.
As T rn-entc ed the plan ant garden
attached to Hie cotta'.; ■ 1 strove in vain
to catch a glimpse of Bessie, and reach
ed t.!ii' aiiibtf, wit bout having met any- .
body lmt the oid gaidner, who sainted j
me with Jl.c usual “How Me do, Bur?” j
1 was aii'ili Ly the aide • f Mom, who j
e. Ve a lielgjjrof oedgio's tViiSeri'd. It’
did not lii opne long tn ( put on his sad- '
dl.-, and ; P the yard 1 learned from |
the old gpJcn that vi se Ciaveriug had ;
riiluen out Mono about a quarter of an I
hour before me. 1 was certainly much j
ehapTried ut this, and made.several men
fal resultto be fully, revenged ns soon
us 1 could get a convenient opportunity.
1 turned down a lane that led to t.ha
bridle ; TiHi uhmg the top of the cliff,
and letting the reins fall over Moro’s
neck, abandoned myself to building cas
tles in tho air, iu the erection of which
Bessie took a very prominent part. The
spot was admirably adapted to medita
tion. To my left a small wood, through
the breaks in which glimpses of the ris
ing upland were caught every now nnd
then, straight' ahead a broad expanse of
purple heather, and to my right the rug
ged st ep c.iffs, at the foot of which lay
a vast *ra"t of sand, as the sen, owing to
the flat shore, retires a distance of nearly
four miles ; far away in the distance the,
bright dancing waters, with a sail or two
in sight, and over the whole a glorious
expanse of blue, across which the light
morning air blew a few white scudding
clouds.
Home three and a lm’f miles from the
shore there extended right along the
coast a low sand-bank, which was at urine
a sources of pleasure and danger to the
inhabitants and the fishermen. When
the tide flowed the sea beat against, the
bank for some time, till at last with 'an
angry roar, it surmounted the obstacle
and came tearing down the incline like a j
very avalanche. Many accidents result- j
ing in loss of life had taken place, owing j
to the ignorance anu carelessness oi l
tourists and others, who lulled into a
state of fancied security by the distance
of the sea, would wander about on the
sands till overtaken by the tide, when
they were placed, as it were in an instant,,
beyond human.assistance, and were iu
varibly lost. Danger signals aud notices ;
had been put up in in every prominent
position by the. authorities, who were
accustomed also at the turning of the
tide to fire a signalman ; but, with ail
that, the sands were so tempting; ami
the very breeze that wafted across them
;o delicious, that a day seldom - passed
without some party or other, generally
Mounted, venturing upon them. AsT.i
looked down I could-see nothing but a
ailitiiry speck in the distance, which I j
■non after made out, through a little i
pocket-grass I always carried, to be a i
person on lr irsebnsk cantering atong. Tj
raid uo particular attention at the time j
mil eoitilined nr. way, gathering up the
reins as Morn broke into a gentle trot, j
[ was now' on the edge of the cliffs, j
where a single false step would at ouci
have precipitated me on the pan Is below,
and oouwqu utlr, • ' m ipT Moro was
wonderfully sure-fool e l mid well ac
quainted with tho path, I moved a’ong
with considerable canti-m. The b'a by
if tlm scene and the exercise so s
i polpxl the -ioominert tlj.it had oppressed
me, and an hit blood began to circulate
! more quickly, idv spirits rose uuu I coin-

by this time Bessie was quite half the’!
distance toward the sea. Would 1 reach
her in time? In order to lighten the ■
weight, 1 threw away my overcoat, uiy
iiat, Coal and waistcoat. X called upon ;
Moro ; lie seemed to fly, We were
gaining upon the mare evidently, but
still tiie awful question rose to uiy tips :
“ Would it be in time?” I could already '
heal-the roar and surge of the waters,!
and the using wind warned me that the
tide would that morning probably exceed
its usual height. My blood wi s up.
i am determined oitlnr to save my love
or to peri h with her. We were now but
half a mile apart. X shouted till I was
noarse, but all lu no effect, for the wind
was dead lu our faces, Movo seemed to
pur impale in my excitement, and straiu
ed every nerve to overtake the mare. We
were not more than two hundred yards
iistaut irorn the sand bank against which
the waves were dashing with unwonted
force. Another second and the mare
would have passed the bank, be over

would be lost. X screamed in my agony,

There are those who seem to think
that th - withdrawal of Gov. Smith from
the Gubernatorial canvass will help the
chances of Mr. John 11. James. We
are not of those ewilo think MM*.. We
«v oiffiivVir oft;,-n. (Sobjhitt, kn?! shall
pres:, his claims up to the time of the as
sembling of the Convention; after that,
the nominee, let him be who he may, l
That Mr. .Tames will not be the nomihee,
we are almost oerhun. Mr. Jainrsmay
he a good priva'e financier, and we have
no doubt lu- is an honest gentleman, but
there are thom-amds of men in Georgia!
with* one or both of these recommenda
tions ; and notwithstanding tire great
ability which Mr. James' friends claim
l.'i* him, he has made some grave mis
takes that will hurt him it brought out
against him. Mr. Jamee is not a good
judge of human nature. He can’t take
a man’s measure by looking into his face,
and his inability to do this has caused
him to leave gups down, by which his
enemies can run in on him and. annihi
late him.
We make no charges here and uow,'
because we do not think Mr. James
prominent enough to make it worth
while to shoot at him, but whenever his
candidacy swells large enough to got ill
anybody’s way of whom we are tlie
champion, we’ll see if we can’t contrib
ute a mite toward putting a stopper on
him. We keep a little book in which we'
enter little things for future reference;
and in that little book we have Mr/
James’ name opposite a little “mem”
that will make “music iu the air” if we
ever choose to put it in black and white.
As we have said, we are not the man
to be shelling the woods iu which a man
may be hid, unless we are satisfied he is
disposed and capable of doing us or ouf
friends barm. Whenever we decide Mr,
James has reached the point where he is
at all likely to become dangesous, then
we shall opeu our little book, uncork ouf
iitt'e via'., and air our lit.tlo stiuk, and if
I: don’t have a teudeney to “bear the
market" for James stock, thou we’ll nev
er set ourselves up as a prophet any
more, that’s all.— Warrcnton Clippen
