WHERE!
Where aflall yet the wanderer jaded
In the grave at last recline 1
In the South by palm trees shaded 7
Under lindens by the Rhine 7
Shall I in some desert sterile
Be entombed by foreign hands 7
Shall I sleep, beyond life’s peril,
By some sea coast in the sands 7
Well! God’s heaven will shine as brightly
There as here, around my lied,
And the stars for death lamps nightly
Shall be hung above my head.
HYMEN, M. 1).
BY JI’DOK CI.ARK.
When Deacon Dumas—reader, 'please
don’t pronounce his name in boarding
school French; it sounds sc like “Do,
ma," which is very childish. This is
a plain, every-day name, composed of
two syllables, Dum-as, and has no other
sound, only a little quicker, than a
couple of homely English words of
which it is probably a corruption. Be
sides, the Dumases of Dumfrey are in
no way related to the author of “Monte
Cristo.”
When Deacon Dumas, or all that was
mortal of him, was fished up from the
bottom of ‘Squire Hopper’s mill-pond,
dead as a mackerel and dripping wet,’
“How came he there?” was the ques
tion that set all Dumfrey agog.
Evil toDgues wore not slow to hint
that it was a case of wilful absconding
from a state of insufferable henpeckery;
in short, that after twenty years of
stormy connubial experience, that poor
man could stand it no longer, and had
at last literally “drowned himself in his
own defence. But the coroner’s jury,
as. was right and proper, gave the de
parted the benefit of the doubt, and, by
a verdict of “accidental death,” settled
the question to the satisfaction of all
law-abiding people.
Dorothy Dumas, unlike that “very
youth, ’’Leartes, did not restrain the
natural overflow of her grief out of con
sideration that its object had alreadv
had a surfeit of water. On the eon
trary, as soon as it became evident that
the vital spark was quenched beyond re
luming she “lifted up her voice aud
wept ’ dutifully. Ifad the deacon come
home alive in a similar “pickle,” it is
possible her voice might have been
“lifted up” for a different purpose.
The deceased left a handsome estate,
few debts, and no relatives save his
wife. How it made little Lawyer Lump
kin’s Angela itch for the handling of it,
when he footed up the sum total 1
Mr. Lumpkin had been professionally
intrusted with the settlement of the dead
deacon’s affairs, and, of course, had fre
quent consultations with the widow.
He was a bachelor, if not in his prime,
at least in good repair. His “scratch”
was as natural as life, and his false
teeth a good deal more so.
From the gracious manner in which
he was invariably received by his client,
as well as from other symptoms to which
he had not been blind, Mr. Lumpkin
became early convinced that the post
left vacant by the deacon’s demise was
not beyond his reach. The fortune
was tempting j the widow—not very.
She was neither fair nor fat, and con
siderably upward of forty. Angularity
of person, sharpuess of features, sharp
ness of temper, and a tongue sharper
than a two-edged sword, to say nothing
of the unpleasant rumors touching the
cause of the late deacon’s death, were
drawbacks which might well have in
duced a less wary man than Tobias
Lumpkin to pause and consider.
How Tobias might have decided,.had
the case remaiued thus evenly balanced,
it is difficult to conjecture ; but anew
element at length came into the calcula
tion, whiob, in his judgment, materially
simplified it.
The widow fell ill—seriously so. The
nature of her disorder quite baffled the
physician. Though he gave it a name,
skilfully compounded of Greek aod
Latin, aod prescribed, as best he might,
at random, the patient grew steadily
worse, and soon was pronounced at the
point of death. Prudence Perkins de
clared that nothing on earth ailed the
widow but the want of somebody to use
her tongue upon ; but Prudence was a
tattling body, and she and Dorothy had
never been fiiends.
When Tobias henrd of the doctor’s
decision he flew to the widow’s bedside.
He declared hi* affection with a fervor
of eloquence unequalled by any former
effort of his professional life, and wound
up by vowing that all he asked was the
privilege of calling her his before she
was for ever snatched from his sight.
The widow was visibly moved. Such
a union, she acknowledged, would ma
terially smooth her dying pillow. She
might coufcssnow a secret she had long
concealed, and which she had purposed
carrying with her to the grave: She
loved Tobias with an ardor and devot on ,
no woman’s heart had ever felt before.
It was needless to waste time on
preliminaries. Mrs. D.’b estate, in the
event of her death, now a certainty,
would descend to her surviving husband
if she left one—an arrangementperfcctly
satisfactory to all concerned.
A clergyman was accordingly sent
for, and the solemn and affecting cere
mony which nude of the twain one flesh,
was performed without delay—the widow
reclining gracefully, wrapped in the
drapery of her mortuary couch, and
Tobias kneeling devoutly at her side.
When, the spectators had withdrawn,
the newly married pair for a time re
mained silent. Their feelings were
evidently too deep for utterance.
“My dear at length came from the
lips of tlie bride.
“My life ?” Tobias answered, or
rather questioned.
“I think I could take something.”
The bridgegrbom pricked up his etrs.
“The wing of a chicken,” she added.
Wing of a ehiclen ! Had her spirit
taken %ring at that particular moment,
Tobias would have looked less startled.
Wing of a chicken it was, however ;
and, after dispatching one , she felt like
trying another , and probably would have
ventured on a third, butefor the doctor’s
express interdiction.
The next day she sat up.
The third, she got up.
The fourth, she blew Tobias up , and
has never been sick an hour since.
Poor Tobias! it’s to be feared he
wasn’t as thankful as he should have
been for his wife’s recovery. As for her
fortune, she keeps it entirely in her own
hands, being of opinion that it is the
duty of all husbands to be self-sustaining.

Miscellaneous Adv’tsments.
mmmi iuihit.
WE ones more earnestly solicit the atteo
lion of our people to the enterprise fur
the erection of a monument in honor of the
Confederate Dead of Georgia anti otheis who
were killed or died on Georgia soil. The time
for the distribution is rapidly approaching.
It will take place in thia city on the 4th of
December next, Deo Volente. There will
positively be un postponement. All sales
will stop on the 20th of Novembei. The
fate of this etthrt will be decided then. Our
people will exhibit their gratitude for the
bloody sacrifices of their brave defenders,
or exhibit to the world their cold Indiffer
ence. They will exhibit their pride or its
loss; their appreciation of those who fel! in
service, or a disregard of the noblest sacri
fice which man can make for his owfi land,
his people and their homes.
We yet believe the spirits of the dead still
I haant the land they iqyed Rod for which
they died. We yet believe that those who
live in these haunts of love will rubstantially
prove their devotion to the dead “Soldiers
in Gray.” Hundreds, yea thousands upon
thousand's, will wish to become shareholders
in the tribute to their fame between now ami
the 20th of November. We most respect
fully request them to reflect. Those thous
ands of names thrown upon us at the last
moment may so overwhelm us as to make it
impossible to prepare all of their certificates,
record their names, mail them and prepare
the numbers for the drawing on the 4th of
December. Hence much money may be
necessarily returned, to the detriment of the
cause and their disappointment in the
chances at the distribution of the prizes.
Let those, then, who have the means aid
intend to contribute do ao at once. If some
are not ready and must wait, let their con
tributions come as soon as they are able to
make them to the Agents in their locality,
or to this oilice.
Have no fears of trickery, or fraud, or
speculation. Whatever may have happened
in other schemes or sections, we have an or
ganized Association, consisting of some of
our best citizens. An ex|w>se will he made
of all that lias been and will be done in con
nection with ttiis enterprise. All will be
fair and honoiable.
If all the tickets shall be sold, the amount
to he distributed will be in currency, one
hundred and thirty-one thousand dollars;
in real estate, ninety-nine thousand dollars;
in cotton, twenty thousand dollars, making
a grand total of two hundred and .ILy thou
sand dollars.
If all the tickets are not'sold the amount
ieceive<l(after deducting the portion allotted
to the Monument, the commissions of the
Agents, and the sum required to defray the
necessary expenses), will be distributed
among the shareholders. The precedence
in this latter case will be given—lst, to the
1,744 prizes in currency ; 2d, to the real
estate ; 3d, to the cotton.
We are pleased to state that expenses
have been much diminished by the liberality
of a portion of the newspapers, and the
boundless assistance rendered us free of
charge by the Southern Express Ccmpany
of this city.
Should any who have made, or may make,
voluntary donations] to any amount, desire
to exchange their special tickets for others
which furnish chances in the drawing, wc
or our Agents, in this or other States, will
cheerfully comply with their wishes.
All orders promptly attended to.
