THE EXPOSITOR W-A.'SrX'TJBSBORO*, GhA.., BCRSCRIPTIOHi PRIOR—!> A WAVE: Two Dollar* per Annum. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7. 1872. 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. Tne Cincinnati Enquirer has reduced itemizing to a science.

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.
