MY 1.0 V Fit.
At last I am blessed with a lover,
Just w hat a lover should be—
Devoted and constant, and handsome,
Handsome as handsome can be.
Devoted! -devoted, believe me!
He never has left mo a. day;
I am ever his pride and his darling—
Without me ho cannot bo gay.
lie oar os for no lovelier lady;
To him I am very fair;
Contented he rests on my bosom.
Kisses my lips and my hair.
Handsome! his cheeks are like roses,
llis head is run over with curls,
His forehead Is white as a snowdrift.
His teeth glimmer clearer than pearls.
His eyes they are bright as tho sunshine,
With la she.--, that cannot be beat,
And then I know that you've never
Seen such hands and such feet.
Wealthy? He’s careless of money—
Money to him is but dross;
Silver and gold, for my lover,
Are only foi pitch and for toss.
ITo must have been born to a fortune—
H%>’s lived at his easo ever since;
If you'd see but the style of his dressing,
You’d probably think him a prince.
Shirts thick frosted with stitching,
Silken embroidered socks;
I think tho most of his money
He keep in a painted box.
He’ll show you a golden guinea,
On which ho cut his first tooth,
Strung on an azure ribbon.
Tied with a love knot, forsooth!
Of teelli ho has half a dozen,
Set; to the eunningest mold;
For I nm my lover’s mother—
For ho is but one year old!
—Oh kayo Led{jer.
Was it Unmaidenly ?
“Gussie, tel! me, Jo you love me or
not? i have been waiting for your an
swer as long as I can wait, and you must
tell me now, Gussie do yon love me?"
Will Hammond stood at one endoftlie
long snowy pine table, looking very band
some and very much in earnest us he
watched tho saucy, graceful way Gussii;
Greendale tossed her head, and the
bright <-(i!or can e warming her pretty
cheeks.
It made a pleasant picture, tho big
kitchen in tho Greendale firm house, with
its dresser full of shining tins, its big deep
seated windows draped with spotless dim
ity; its dozen old fasionod rush-bottomed
chairs, and one great big oozily-eusbion . and
rocker beside tho cooking stove, with its
snowy floor, with here and there strips of
bright rag carpet, its long white pine side
table that was loaded down this cold fros
ty winter morning with toothsome dain
ties in a fair way of preparation for the
table.
And prettiest of ail was Gassio Green
dale her- 'lf, with iter bright brown and
while calico dress, so neatly covered by a
leg bib apron, her sleeves rolled up to her
pink, dimpled elbows, showing small ex
quisitly moulded arms; with her pretty
arch faeo, of clear brunette complexion;
her well poised head with its shiny, dusky
hairarranged neatly and becomingly; with
her saucy, roguish eyes, whose merriment
hid the great depth of tender passion, of
which site was so capable". Will Ham
mond looked at her for fully a minute, all
his heart in his eyes, while Gussie went
complacently on with tho work in hand
which, at that especial minute, consisted
of spreading delicious-looking lemon cus
tard on a layer of jelly-cake.
A minute, two, threo passed, and the
young man waited, arid the girl spread
custard with her dainty brown hand as
though life itself was dependent there
upon.
Then he spoke.
“Will you answer me, Gussie? Yes or
no?”
Arid Gussie raised her roguish, coquet
tish eyes with a dcraurencss ihut he might
have known was dangerous.
“Really, 1 don’t know which it is.
There, now, Will are you satisfied?”
Satisfied! Ami he thought, as he bit
hi.-; moustache in sheer vexation, that it
took some magic skill he feared he never
should possess to woo this outrageous little
enchanting flirt.
Satisfied! With her delicious red lips
pouting so near him, and he not daring to
kiss them—satisfied, with that haughty
bale head so near his, and he not daring
to cradle it on his breast!
“Doubtless my content is supreme,”
he said bitterly. “Gussie, did it ever seem
to you that perhaps l mean what i say?
Sometime J have imagined you treat it all
as a good joke and nothing more. Gus
sie! You skull answer me! If you have
an idea beyond having that cm lard spread
smooth on your cake, you shall tell me—
yes, or no!”
And Gussie, with her fine layer custard 1
jelly-cake poised on her fingers, looked crit
ically, admiringly at it, then at him.
“Very well, Will, since you insist upon
yos or no —no!”
Audjshe sat the cake down with a little
emphasis.
“Nol” be echoed, in a voice that was
husky with the sudden end of the exquin
itu dream ho had been indulging so long
—ever since ho had oouie to tire Greendale
farm hqu.-e in midsummer, and where lie
lingered now, out of all prudence so far as
his business was concerned, at the begin
ning of Deoember, simply and solely be
cause in Gussie Greendale were centered
all the hopes of his life.
And sim had deliberately said —no.
She lrad coolly, almost coldly told him she
did not love him, or its equivalent.
“Nol Gussie, you can’t mean that —
you never can bo so cruel!”
“1 mean just what 1 said—l have that
habit. But I can offer you every onoour
ageiueqt in asking some other young
ladies the same question, who have other
ideas than those of cake making, who
doubtless will be very glad of a chance to
say ‘yes.’ Isn’t this kitchen awful hot?”
Certainly Gussie’s cheeks were remark
ably red, but whether or not it was tho
heat of the kitchen, Willard Ilammond
did not inquire— he had his answer.
And Gu.-i ie’s lingers flew faster than
usual, and the pantry doors slammed
somewhat, and one entire pan of cookies
were burned to small oval cinders while
Gussie stood meditatively by the window.
“Think you must be going, oh? It’s
rather sudden, isn’t it, Mr. Hammond?”
Farmer Greendale passed the warm tea
biscuit and asked the question at the same
time, and Gussie gave a little start that
no one saw at tiie answer.
“Rather sudden, Mr. Greendale, and
| yet, when I think how I have prolonged
my vacation, I feel I should have made
my decision wee ks ago. Yes, 1 think L
will leave you on Thursday of this week. ”
lie handed his cup to Gussie for his
second instul* .entof tea, with a potfectly
cool nonchalance of manner.
Going on Thursday—and this was Tues
day! Only two more days! And then,
Gussie made up her mind she would not
Icel lonesome when ho had gone; she
lord never been lonesome before he came,
why now?
And as she handed hack his cup, she
struggled hard to shut her ey * to the fact
that never again would life be as calm
and rosy lined us before she saw Willard
llaiiMiond, unless
And with the pervcr.-.oncss of woman
kind- at least, some womankind—G ussie s
cy os. parkled, and her cheeks glowed, and
the dimples came in her chin, and she felt
dreadfully miserable to think of tiiat
“nol”
And Mr. Hammond heard and saw with
jealous pain, and forthwith Ik gnu hi - easy
conversation with Farmer Gmoiuia'e.
“1 need not say how 1 regret, breaking
the pleasant conned! ms ! have had In re
among you, hut it is, of emu.• e, impe- -il
that; ui.li a life should last forever, de
lightful though it is. Besides, imperative
summons from my cousin in Boston—one
of the prettiest, most, bewitching little
ladies you can imagine, Alias Gussie —
makes it a double duty tor me to jo.”
Gussie smiled and said “indeed,” as
calmly as though ho had announced his
intention of riding over the farm, while
she experienced hot and cold thrills at the
thought of that cousin of hi s
"He only said it to make me jealous,
and he shall not do it,” Gussie said to her
self, and then, with woman’s inconsisten
cy, wont'deliboraioly at. work thinking,
and Retting, arid groaning, until by
Thursday morning she was almost tho
ghost of herself.
Until this morning, this Thursday
morning, with a damp, raw east wind, a
clouded, lowering sky, when IVillard
Hammond wa; going, Gussie had not en
tirely realized what it would be to her
after lie had gone, who had been the very
sunshine of her life so many blessed
weeks. But now, with all the bustle and
excitement of getting him off. and now,
when his trunk stood strapped in the ball
way, and she had taken a peep in the
room he had occupied, and that made her
feel as if there hud been a funeral in the
house, now knowing it was the iast time
she would ever see his overcoat hanging
on the hall rack, or hoar his tread on the
s'airs, Gussie came to a terrible realiza
tion of what she had done, how she bad
crushed all the light, and warmth, and
beauty, out of her life, and all because
she was an inborn little coquette.
And that city cousin of his! Gussie
warned to choke her, whoever, wherever,
whatever she was, that she daro bo so
much to Willard Hammond, whom slu
lov G, for nil ”i mid ■“> cruelly refused
him—and. .i ■■ cmiio and, with not
a doubt 1 y he ’.'uuH rem>v,- lib offer.
Would hi vo.ie.w it? Gussie sprang
from the wind r,v where she watt watching
one ot the farm-hands harnessing up the
horses that were to take her darling away
from her.
\\ ould he?
The thought sent brilliant flashes to tho
sweet eyes that had boon dim for so many
weary hours, and, and —now comes the
question, was it unmaidenly in her?—
Gussie went into the sitting-room where
Air. Ilammond was alone, waiting for the
horses.
Hu glanced up as she came shyly in,
j looking vory fair to see.
“I am still waiting, you see, Miss Gus
sio. It is real good of you to come and
help me bo patient.”
“Miss Gussie!” He never bad called
her so until that other day, and ho never
had addressed her more familiarly since.
“There is still some time, Mr. Ham
mond —nearly half an hour yet. lam
sorry you should be impatient to get
away.”
i lie laughed—not the free joyous laugh
1 she so loved to hoar, but a cold, con
-1 strained mirth.
! “It is rather strango, isn't it, after
being in no hurry for so long? What a
fine creature Cesar is!”
I Gussie knew he meant cne of the two
handsome horses lie could see from the
i window, and she know, too, that there
I was not any satisfaction in his farewell.
He had ceased to care for her —that was
I evident, or he would certainly have taken
I this golden opportunity—and it washer
! own act that was recoiling in such fearful
| violence at her heart.
She was trembling with nervous ex
citement anil jealous love and despair.
She saw the carriage come bowlingup to
ward the front door; olio knew—
She only knew she loved him dearly,
dearly, and slm must lose him by her own
cruet act.
Slm could not endure it —this brave,
swoot, faulty girl, with lmr foolish little
head and lmr lov in.; big heart; andso —do
j you Illume her, i don't, Cio,t a hit—she
, went trembling up to lmr rejected lover,
and In id her hand on his arm,
“Mr. Hammond — Willi don’tgqoff so
; —indeed indeed —l want you to —
please—please forgive me fur what I—
said—what 1 did riot my —1 mean —”
And tl, hot bin-dii'. iii l the tears came

Bui r 'is it unmaidenly?
MR. grri'JIUNS AND THU J NVKBTIGA
TION.
Wo pro-nine that every Georgian will
he interested in reading the views of Mr.
Stepuens concerning the investigation
recently ordered by the House, Before
Mr. Putter offered his resolution, Mr.
Stephens obtained leave of absence for a
week on act 'unt of sickness. As soon as
ha heard that it had been introduced, and
that the amendments which the Republi
cans had offered, authorizing the com
mittee to investigate the charges of fraud
in oilier States, had bcoii rejected, lie
wiote to Mr. Potter, urging him to admit
tho amendments. On Thursday he at
tended the session of the House, and rose
to nuke a proposition to Mr. IMtter, when
the Democrats refused to grant him time.
On Frid:iy Mr, Potter rose to make a
proposition to Mr. Ilale, who nad intro
duced most of the Republican amend
ments, and the Republicans refused to
grant bim time. (Under the rules: of tho
House, the pending order of business
cannot be interrupted by a motion nr a
statement if a single member objects.)
Mr. Potter wrote an open letter, criticising
Mr. Stephens’s course, and Mr. Stephens
replied in a communication, part of which
we copy from the Savannah News. After
mentioning what occurred previous to
Thursday, he says:
“I had not heard from Mr. Putter or
from any one. I had not consulted direct
ly or indirectly with a Republican in the
House or out of tho House. 1 made an
appeal to Mr. Potter to withdrew bis call
for the previous question to allow mo
three minutes only. My object was to
get him to withdraw the call for the
previous qaefl 1 ’ f lie would not do
i>, to ;> •’ j i:!;;■ H -to patriots on
both jidui> —to >o.c down the previous
NUMBER 24.
qt; '.-linn and allow Mr. Halo or any Re
publican to offer just suelr amendment.<
lot tho enlargement of tho investigation
as they might see fit. It was then that
Mr. Potter declined to withdraw tho call
or to allow mo tho throe minutes. He
j lid liiat it was from no disrespect to mo,
but that ho was acting under instructions.
Whether Mr. Potter had communicated
to others the purport of my vote, and the
caucus had determined that 1 should not
ho heard upon tho subject, I do not
know, but I certainly had not suggested
iri that note that the Democrats should do
any thing else than receive all amendments
or additional propositions for investiga
tion that might be offered from any
quarter.
“Second. Mr. Potter seems to con
found bis dates, He speaks of what oc
curred when he rose to make a proposi
tion to Mr. Hale us if done upon tho same
day upon which* 1 asked to address tho
House. In this he is mistaken. His
proposition to Mr. Hale was on the next
day, Friday, mid had no connection what
ever with the proceedings of which I was
denied a hearing.
“Third. Mr. Potter’s reasons for re
fusing Mr. Halo’s amendment appear to
me to bo similar and most untenable. He
says it was not germane. Why it was
not germane I cannot see. All frauds it
would seem to me are of a kindred char
acter. They are all of the same class of
crimes; belong to the same family, and
differ only in character and degree. If a
fraudulent electoral count in Florida was
germane to a like fraudulent count in
Louisiana, why was not a like fraudulent
count in Oregon or any other State equally
germane to the provision to investigate
frauds?
“Fourth. Air. Potter justifies his course
in refusing an investigation into the frauds
alleged in Air. Ilale’s amendment, be
cause he said he understood it contained
recitals to which lie could not assent, and
which would have forced us to vote against
our own resolution. This seems to me
again to be an untenable reason. In the
first place, in allowing Air. Hale to offer
his amendment, whatever recitals it might
lmvi el, by no moans committed the
linn-e tu the truth of the allegations. It
would only have allowed him to make
tie m good il lie could.
i'ifth. Air, Potter insists that tha
object was not and is not to attack the
tide of Mr. Hayes. If so, then why did
he imt, or the managers whoso instruc
tions lie was carrying out, allow Mr.
is- , Young’s amendment to go in,
which dii fin Gy stated, with a purpose of
informing the country, that the object
u : re tto disturb the title of tho present
Exeoutivo, which had boon constitution
ally ,-ettled by the last Congress.
“But I have no time to say more at
present;, except to add that I look upon
the whole of this proceeding, concocted
ns it was, conducted ns it has bceuyas
most unwise, most unfortunate, and most
mischievous. Its eflect will be to disturb
the peace, harmony and quiet of the
country- Nolther Mr. Potter nor any
body else can prevent it; and l say to
him, most respectfully, that nothing short
of an immediate, general an l firm con
cert of action of the law and order-abiding
people of all parties, Republicans and
Democrats, throughout tho Union, in
reprobation of this investigation proceed
ing any further with a view to disturb
the Presidential title, such as announced
by the Pennsylvania Democracy in their
convention a few days ago, can arrest the
most fearful consequences. Those who
have, though innocently, sowed the wind
wi i reap the whirlwind.
“My own opinion is, as I have repeat
edly said, this affair will prove in thejeud
either a contemptible farce or a horrible
tragedy. Whether it will lead to the
Mexicunization of our Federal Republic
the result must show. But Isay, and I
said on another recent occasion, that all
words instilling in the minds of the people
of this country tho idea that Mr. Hayes
can bo peaceably unseated by Congress,
are as delusive and as guileful as tho
whisperings of the great arch fiend in the
shape of a toad in tho ear of Eve, from
which sprung all our woos.
“Very respectfully,
Ai.ex. 11. Stephens."

pavement in front of a store in Richmond,
