Law ton vi lie, March 18 IPT-'f—22-1 “S ALUS POPULI SUPREM A LEX ES T O.” WAYNESBORO', GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 2(i. 1873. THE GOVERNESS. BY SAI.LU? THOMAS. a ft. A fearfully cold, blustering day it was, late in December, a time of unut terable desolation to at least one that stood alone at the door of her late homo in the sweeping gale, as it dashed by, almost freezing lie' - ,in its pitiless fury. She looked up and down the l<Wg, de serted street, that never looked more dreary. Opposite, the doors*were all closed, and in the rapidly gathering twilight site saw the warm glow of the fire, the ruddy light which had been seemingly lighted to mock her own cheerless lonosomoness. She thought of tho time when, to her, work was a dull, meaningless word, when a fond, devoted father surrounded her with every luxury, and she had scarcely a care in the world; and now to-night she was to leave her home, a poor girl, to battle with the world. With a shiv r, Irma Houghton turned away from the dark sticets into the hall of the elegant, empty house. In the silent parlor, where the rich piper seemed to mock the empty demolition, stood her trunks packed, and marked ; and how her lips trembled as she read. ‘’Miss Houghton, Passenger, Colneytou.” So it was there she was going. Two bun •dred miles from home, and those whq, had once professed to bo Iter friends, but had suddenly forgotten her when her father’s wealth had been swept away, each, and every one, turning coldly away, and leaving her to bow her heavy burden alone. She thought of her handsome lover. Earnest Lowell, and wondered if lie, too, would prove untrue; she recalled his parting words, ‘ I will be true to you, inv darling, let conic what tiny.” It was those words that had aided her to patiently bear poverty and face the hardships of the world. A hired ve hicle rolled up to the doer, and when the driver had attended to her luggage, Jie was whirled away. When she reached the station house, she procured her ticket and sat down thoughtfully. Soon the long train catna in and Irina took her seat, a few moments in ire, and she had started ou the way to her des tination. the home of a wealthy stranger, as a governess for her children. It was a long, lonely ride, and many tears dampened her thick veil before she arrived at Colneyton. It was a clear bright morning, the streets were swarming with life and gaiety. She felt almost contented when a respectful railway official tapped her on the shoulder, and pointed to a wait ing carriage: ‘‘The driver has been asking for a young lady from D , I believe you took the train there, Miss?'’ And, so she found herself in Mrs. Cald well's carriage ; and later, in that lady’s prc.'Cn66. Mrs. Caldwell was a tall, stately lady, who received her newly engaged gov erness with a polite welcome that would have gone straight to Irina’s heart, had p.ot her pride been touched by the young lady to whom Mrs. Caldwell in troduced her. “This is my daughter Claudia, Miss Houghton.” Irina acknowledged the presentation; and if she was s'ung to the quiok by the frigid hauteur of the beautiful girl, Miss Caldwell was equally enraged by Irma’s indifferent, graceful bow. “Mamma,” she said, when Irma had gone to her room, “shall you allow her to mingle with our visitors? She is much too elegant and aristocratic to pass unnoticed among our company.” “Why not. C audia? lam sure she is a nice little tiling.” “I know that, and pretty, too. I wish you had selected a girl not so fair mid proud,” “Why y “Because Jennie and May will be putting on her fine airs next,” TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. “We will not trouble ourselves about that.” • # • * * • Day after day passed by. Irma found her vocation more pleasant than she had expected. She learned to love her two little pupils dearly, hut the scarcely evermiet Mrs. Caldwell’s step daughter, Claudia, and when she did, she was always greeted with the same chilling and stately bow. It was late one evening when Irma had been two months there, that little May came into the room and said : “Miss Irma, mamma is going to have a party to-night, and sister Claudia’s beau is coming; and he is so handsome; and I heard sister tell mama she was going to marry him.” “Who is he, May?” “Mr. Earnest Lowell, and—Miss Irma, are you going to faint.” The child gazed with wonder at Irma’s white face, as with a low rno.ni she sank hack on the sufa. “What is it ? May I call mamma ?” “No, no, call no one ; there, leave me now, please.” Her voice wa? low and husky, and the child, with a frightened face, obeyed. “Oil, God, have mercy !” murmured Inna. “Marry her! No, no—l can not, will not believe it!” For a long time she lay, heeding nothing, still murmuring that loved name. „ Suddenly Mm. 0 ill.veil entered. “Irtua,” she said, “I wish you would ernne down to-night; you are killing yourself. C taut now, will you ?” “Induid, Mrs. Caldwell, I cm not to-night.” “Yes, but you mii-t.” “N ), T cut not. I thank you, but I can not.” “I wish you would. Bat my guests j are .am ing; good-night.” Airs. Cald well left the room. A moment lat r there came a step at the door. It was op mod by Miss Claudia. “Miss Houghton," she s lid, “you play, I kno-.v. Our pianist has failed to come, and as mamma has promised our guests a dance, it, would be cruel to disappoint j them. Will you not oblige mo by coming to tho piano ?” Her request was courteously enough spoken, yet was equivalent to a com- ! maud, and, for a while, Irma resolved not to go; then a wild yearning came into her heart, to see, for herself, if it really was Earnest, of whom May had spoken. “Ye--, X vvill go; and if it is Earnest, God give me strength t.o bear it.” With these words, Irma rose and, , glancing for a moment into her mirror, left the room. She entered the crowded parlor, and I casting an inquiring glance around her, she beheld Miss Claudia stauding in the ; most prominent part of the room; a handsome gentleman stood by her, but : not Earnest. Irma gave a sigh of re- j lief, and the words, “Thank God! A dropped from her lips. The music lay opou upon tho piano. Irina was pas sionately fond of inusi \ und to-night' she played with unusual skill. Wiion she had finished tho first piece, she i heard low voices near her. “Do you know where Mrs. Caldwell got her musician? Sh° plays well.” “Yes; but she is only the children’s governess, I think.” The speakers passed on, hut tho words had roused tho old feeling of pride in Irma’s heart, and with a sad ; den impulse site dashed her hands aver the keys, bringing forth such thrilling : sounds ns to hush every voice in the room. Jrma saw it, and dashed into a waltz, which rang out like a silver bell. When she had finished, she glanced towards Miss Claudia, thon her oyes ; wandered away, with a heavy mist be fore them, and a wild pulsation at her heart, for there, by Claudia’s side stood ; Earnest Lowell. Her brilliant music had attracted attention from all. Miss Claudia saw it, and hated herself for having brought her into notice, and : with a haughty go.-turo site swept across the room to Irma’s side, saying : “Miss Houghton, you can go to your | room ; you look ill.” Irma understood her motives per fectly, but she thanked her, for she could no longer endure being in the presence of Iter lover. S e left the parlor and returned to her room, and having fastened the door, threw herself down on her bed with a wild, agoniz j ”>g cry. “Lost! lost to me forever ! and lam • alone—alone !” For hours she remained there, moan l ing and sobbing ns if her very life was ! going from her. The morning came. Irma arose pale ; and wan. She knew it would be loiil l <ft before any one else would be up in the house. “Oh, if I could breathe the pure, sweet air in the conservatory ; it is stif ling here.” i She unlocked her door and went down to the conservatory. Stopping over a ro-e bush, she saw two tiny white rose buds lying among the dirk, green ! leaves. “Just like the ones he placed in my hair so lone; ajro Dear Earnest. I must never see him more. At that moment she felt herself 1 clasped by strong arms, and the shriek of afl'right she would .have uttered, was 1 smothered with a kiss. She heard a ; voice saying “My darling, my Irma, I have found Ism For a moment she scarcely knew where site was, only site knew it was Earnest at 1 that he loved her. “Oh Earnest,” she exclaimed, “I thought you were to marry Miss Cald well.” •Irtua !” His voice was full of pained surprise. “Did you think I would he untrue to you? \ am going to marry none but you. Can it be possible you have ceased to care for me ?” “No, no, not that, but T must pay ray father’s debts first.” “Irma, I have paid them, they were not so great as you supposed.” “And you have paid them all? Oh, Earnest, how can I ever repay you?” “By giving tnc your own priceless self, Irma. I have bought your old home; will you go with me there and be tny wife ?” That evening when Irma told Mrs I Caldwell she was going a way, iu an swer to that lady’s suprised enquiry as to where, Earnest answered. “She is going back to her old home, as my wife, Mrs Caldwell.” When Miss Claudia heard it she de clared, “It was a pity he should throw himself away on a poor governess.” Irma now lives iu her old home, the ; old smile has returned to her face again. There she and Earnest arc living to ! gather, happy in loving and being loved. Etiquette Among the Columbus Darkies. —The Columbus Enquirer is responsible for the following : White folks havo pretty well quit “Mr.” to each others’ names, n,n<l now speak of their neighbors as old Jonas, cross-eyed Johnson,freckled faced Smith and knoek-kneeded Simpson. Oil the other hand, negroes .ire monopolizing polite epithets, and rarely speak of each other without using the prefix of “Mr.,” “Mrs.” and “Miss.” We hear of Mr. Snodgrass. Mrs. Newoome, Miss Jenk ins, and imagine some tremendous high flyer is spoken of, whereas it is only out old cook, washerwoman or nurse. Ver ily, things have turned round and got awfully mixed in this generation, and the “bottom rail” is becoming a most potent institution. A gentleman, tho other day, was up- S protioliod by a ten-year old fifteenth ! amendment saying, “Mr. Washington ! wants two pounds of nails. 1 ’ “Who in 'tho thunder is Mr. Washington ?” ask ed the gentleman. “O, you nose urn it’s ole Wash down at de pig pen.” 1 RULES FOR LEGAL ADVERTtBIffG: Sales of land, We., In/ Administrators, Executors/ at Uuaiitians are required by law to be held on Ihe first Tuesday in the month, between the hours qf ten in Ihe forenoon and three in Ihe nfterssoon, al the ; court house in the county in which the property is situated.

There is a fable among the Hindoos that a thief having been detected and condemned lo die, happily hit upon an expedient which gave him hope of life, lie sent for his gaoler, and told him that he had t of great importance which he desired to impart to the kiug, and when that had bfcn done he would be prepared to die. I pon receiving this piece of intelligence the king at onec ordered the culprit to be conduct ed to his presence, and demanded of him to know his secret. The tiiief re plied that he knew the secret of caus ing trees to grow which would hear fruit of pure gold. The experiment might be easily tried, and his majesty would not lose the opportunity; so ac companied by his prime minister, bis courtiers, and Lis chief priest, ho went with the thief to a spot selected near the city wall, where the latter perform ed a series of solemn incantations. This done, the condemned man produced a piece of gold, and declared that if it should he planted, it would produce a tree every branch of which would bear gold. “But,” he added, “this must be put into the ground by a hand thathas never been unclean, therefore I pass it to your majesty.” The king took the pieco of gold, but hesitated. Finally he said: “I re member in my younger days that I of ten filched money from my father’s treasury which was not mine. I have repented of the sin, but yet I hardly dare say my hand is clean. I pass it, therefore, to my prime minister.” The latter, after a brief consideration, answered: “It were a pity to break the charm through a possible blunder. I receive taxes from the people, and as T am expose i to many temptations, how can I he sure that I have remained per fectly honest V I must, leave it to the governor of our citadel.” “No, no,” cried the governor, draw ing back. “Remember that I have the serving out of pay and previsions to tho soldiers. Let the high priest plant it" And the priest said, “You forgot ■ I have the collecting of tithe?, and the distribution for sacrifice.” At length the tiiief exelamod ; “Your majesty, I think it were belter for so ciety that all five of us should be hung < since it appears that not an honest man can he found among us.” In spite of the lamentable exposure, the King laughed ; and so pleased was lie wrtlt the thief’s cunning expedient that he granted him a pardon. Marvel of Sorgrry.— The 13 lti more Sun, in reporting the proceedines of the Medical and Chirurgical Society, describes the subjoined case .' The patient who was exhibited to the Society had had both the lids of the loft eye diseased for twi fy-seven years with wliat had been called cancer by many surgeons. To remove the entira disease, both lids, as well as the skin from the side of the nose, lmd to be re moved, leaving tho left eye, {his only good one), exposed in a frightful gap. To protect tho eye, and at the same time to remove the hideous conformity, Prof. Chisolm undertook tho delicate surgical operation of manufacturing two lids—the upper lid from the skin of tho forehead, and tho lower lid from the skin of the cheek. So very successfully had this been accomplished that it re quired very close observation to detect the difference between the left side of tho face with the mmufiotured lids, and the right side with the lids that nature had made. The ease bad been a very satisfactory one to both surgeon and The poorest, shot in Georgia ltvos at ' Savannah, which his name is Harris— i rnr Red Head, however. On Tuesday afternoon a negro cut his head opeu with a cotton hook, and he pulled out ! his little pistol and took four pops at I the darkey without touching him.
