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- I menced to sing right merrily. A'bc p»tl> • now took a sudden turn by. a deep gorge, and as 1 did not wish l » go round it, : i iiistauce u» nearly a mile, X iv.vdved t. j put Moro across it; so patting linn ge.;:- i iy on the neck, for I nevei touched him | with spur or whip.

Jolla H, James aid the Governor ■shiji. 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 Mrs. Tan Cott, the revivalist, says 'hat. upon being Introduced to Grant, -he remarked : “I feel it a pleasure to •hake your hand as the chief magistrate' of our country,, but I would rather shake hands with you as a brother iu Christ.’’ Grant turned away and made no reply, ■ The Chronicle and Sentinel says there is no authority for the statement that Mr. Stephens is about to resign.
