A ROMANCE.
For the Georgia Ileralcl.
“What a dull, dreary evening,’* said
Ella Chester to herself as she sat in her
comfortable little room, gazing out
at the numerous persons rushing past,
in order to reach their homes before
the darkness camp on, at which time
they well knew the roads would be
almost impassable after a hard show
er, such as the cloulds overhead now
betokened.
“I know,” ‘’aid Ella, “ that Mrs,
Simons cannot have her anticipated
party, and oh, how disappointed all
the girls will he. Look at myself for
instance! Here I have had the
mantua malter on my dress for near
ly two weiks, and as I look at it
there so beautiful, I can’t help hut
think that it ought to have rained
before or waited until after this night
at least.”
Ella was the only daughter of a
wealthy merchant, and as her mother
died when she was quite young, of
course her father indulged and hum
ored her every whim. She had just
returned home from hoarding school,
and as she w r as quite pretty and ac
complished, she, of course, hid fair
to become the belle of the season.
This was the second party to which
she had been invited, and as she was
to have been escorted there by the
greatest catch in the city, (Paul Dex
ter, who, by the way, had been pay
ing her very marked attention ever
since her arrival at home,) was, as
she thought, a sad disappointment.
She had now turned her attention
from the window to her beautiful silk
dress spread out on the bed, and be
fore she finished admiring it her maid
entered the room with an exquisite
bouquet accompanied with a note
wrifikiYeha tndsi 1 ——gw w/i
“Dear Ella : Please accept the bouquet
xvith my compliments. I will call round
for you this evening at 8 o’clock.
Your admirer,
Paul Dexter.”
She wondered if he would come to
carry her out such an evening, when
the clouds indicated so strongly that
a severe storm was brewing. But
turning her head towards the window
as these thoughts passed through her
mind, she uttered a cry of joyful
surprise, for the clouds had dispersed
and the sun was setting in all of its
grandeur and beauty. She began
immediately preparing with a gay
and happy heart for the party, and
when she was about putting the last
finishing touches to her very elabor
ate toilet, the door-bell rang, and she
went down into the parlor all radiant
with smiles and beauty.
Paul expressed himself as being
most liappy to see her; and after
complimenting her on lier appearance,
(which brought a blush to the fair
cheek of Ella) he conducted her to
his buggy, which was waiting at the
gate, and in a very few moments
they arrived at the residence of Mrs.
Simons, which was most brilliantly
illuminated. The crowd had all as
sembled and the music and dancing
had begun. Wheu Ellt* entered the
room she was the cynosure of every
eye, as all supposed that she was the
affianced of Paul Dexter, and half
of the girls would have given all
which they possessed to have “ stood
in her shoes.” But Ella and Paul
were not engaged, although, both
knew that the other loved. The
evening passed very swiftly, and to
wards 12 o'clock, Ella prepared to
return home. On their way home
neither spoke until they had proceed
ed some distance, when Paul plucked
up courage and in a most tender and
eloquent manner poured out his af
fections at her feet. She sat silent
with her face buried in her hands
until Paul bent over her and said,
“ speak darling, and tell me if you
love me? ’
Sne looked up at him with a hap
py smile and replied, “You know
that I love you Paul.”
He gathered her in his arms and
after kissing her repeatedly, released
her, and by that time they had arriv-
ed at home. Raul did not remain
late, as he told her that he wanted
to go home to think and dream over
his new happiness.
About a week after the party, as
Ella was sitting in the parlor, Paul
entered, and after greeting her very
tenderly threw himself on the sofa
beside her. She noticed that he was
looking quite sad and dispirited, and
when questioned as to the cause he
informed her that he had been called
off on very important business, which
required his immediate attention and
which would perhaps detain him a
month or two. She looked grieved
to see him so sad, hut at last he
roused himself and told her that lie
would write every week, and as soon
as circumstances would allow he
would come home and claim her as
his own. And talking on in this
strain, they both cheered up and
spent a very lively evening together,
until Paul remembered that lie had
to start quite early the next morn
ing, and, therefore, must leave in or
der to prepare. They lingered long
over the good-bye but; at last separ
ated, and the morning train bore
Paul far from the one that he loved
better than life itself.
Time passed very slowly to the
two lovers, hut the timo came at last
when Paul was to return, and oh, how
his heart beat as he drew near
his native city. He had not told
Ella in any of his letters when to ex
pect him home, therefore, she was
not looking for him. As he leaped
from the cars he waited for nothing
else but proceeded directly to the
residence of Mr. Chester. As he
approached the house he recognized
the voice of Ella singing one of his
favorite songs. He paused, not
~ llfLwk nnt nftnv Lnv*
song was finished entered uncere
moniously and oh, how his heart
throbbed with joy as he stood and
looked at her. She had been stand
ing with her back to the door, hut
now as she turned she threw T herself
into his outstretched arms and cried
for joy, and in the course of three
w r eeks they were married, and Paul
conveyed his fair bride to his beauti
ful country residence where they
lived long and happily to a good old
age.
AN OLD STORY.
it is said, at ono timo, r»7liAn T.nv.
enzo Dow preached under a large
spruce pine in South Carolina, he an
nounced another appointment for
preaching in the same place, on that
day twelve months. The year pass
ed, and as Lorenzo was entering the
neighborhood, the evening preceding
his appointment, he overtook a col
ored boy who was blowing a long tin
horn, and could send out a blast with
rise and swell, and cadence which
waked the echoes of the distant hills.
Calling aside the blower, Dow said
to him:
“What is your name, sir ?”
“My name ? Gabriel, sir !” replied
the brother in ebony,
“Well, Gabriel, have } r ou been to
Church Hill?”
“Yes, massa, Pse been dar many a
time.”
“Dou you remember a big spruce
pine on that hill ?”
“0 yes, massa I knows dat pine.”
“Did you know T that Lorenzo Dow
had an appointment to preach under
that tree to-morrow ?*’
“0 yes, massa everybody knows
dat.”
“Well Gabriel, I am Lorenzo Dow,
and if you’ll take your horn and go
to-morrow morning and climb into
that pine tree, and hide among the
branches, before the people begin to
gather, and wait there till I call you
by your name, and then blow such a
blast with your horn as I heard you
blow a minute ago, I'll give you a
dollar. Will you do it, Gabriel ?”
“Yes, massa, I takes dat dollar.”
Gabriel, like Zaches, was hid away
in the tree top in fine time. An im
mense concourse, of all sizes and col-
assembled at the appointed hour,
and Dow preached on the judgment
of the last day. By his power of
description he wrought the multitude
up to the opening scenes of the res 1 -
urrection, of the grand assize, at the
call of the trumpet peals of the na
tions. “Then,” said he, “suppose,
my friends, that we should hear at
this moment the sound of Gabriel's
trumpet.” Sure enough, at that mo
ment the trumpet of Gabriel sounded.
The women shrieked, and many faint
ed : the men sprang up And looked
aghast; some ran ; others fell and
called for mercy ; and all felt, for a
time, that the judgment was set and
the books were opened. Dow stood
and watched the driving storm till
the fright abated, and someone dis
covered the colored angel who had
caused the alarm, quietly perched on
a limb of the spruce, and wanted to
get him down and whip him, and
then resumed his theme, saying : “I
forbid all persons touching that boy
np there. If a colored boy, with a
tin horn, can frighten you almost out
of you wits, what will you do when
you shall hear the trumpet of the
arch-angel? How will ye be able to
stand in the wrath of God ?” lie
made a very effective application.
HULLED COTTON SEED.
We saw, yesterday, some of the
cotton seed that had been through
Shaw’s Duller. The kernel was
thoroughly separated from the hull,
and made a very clean and inviting
appearance. About two-thirds of
the kernels were whole, the other
third broken, and the two descrip*
tions well separated. Doth being
entirely clear of hull, the only differ
ence in value is in the appearance of
the whole kernels. The hull of chaff
is delivered by itself, and is said to
be very valuable as a fertilizer. The
Duller will, it is said, hull in this
manner one hundred bushels per day.
Messrs. Hall, Moses & Cos. are the
agents in this city.
It is perhaps useless, after stating
the above facts, for us to say a word
to planters concerning the economy
and value of this machine. It seems
to us that by greatly enhancing the
value and adding to the use3 of the
refuse of the cotton crop, it will
prove of immense benefit to planters.
Instead of being a dangerous food
for stock, the cotton seed thus pre
pared may go very far towards fat—
{flSfft&iSH ana" Yeeclmg 11 t fie"'mif efi
cows through the winter. Or, if pre
ferred, the hulled seed could be ship
ped to the oil manufacturers at a
small cost for freight, and thus turn
ed into ready money. But we be
lieve that it will be found the better
economy on most plantations to feed
the hulled seed to stock, especially as
the manure obtained from such feed
is said to be so far superior to that
produced by any kind of grain now
used. We have already published
comparisons based upon experiment.

A MARRIAGESHORN OF TOE
TRY
Thn T? Ck\T r> a \Luhod L&fc minicf/»v
stationed at Meadville, one evening
received a note informing him that a
couple living in the suburds of the city
desired to be united in the bonds of
matrimony at nine o'clock in the
morning. At the proper time he
went to the house -designated. He
inquired of a young lady who was
busy washing dishes if there was a
couple there who wished to be mar
ried.
“I am the lady.” said she, blushing
“John will be in, in a moment.’*
The minister was surprised to see
no preparations, and stepped to tho
doer to view the surroundings.. Two
men were hard at work grinding
sythes in the yard, and another, who
proved to be “John,’" was tending a
cow and calf. The young lady came
to the door pretty soon and shouted —
‘John, John, hurry up; the preac—
er’s here!”
John leaped the fence and rushed
into the house, the girl wiped her
hands on her apron, and after join
ing hands said they were reay. The
minister proceeded, and had just got
through with questioning the yong
man when the old lady rushed into
the room shouting—
• “John, John, you didn’t turn the
cow away from the calf. ’
John let go hi3 sweetheart s hand
instantly, and rushed into the barn
yard, put the cow through the bars,
and returned to the house, again took
his position, when the remainder 01
the ceremony was performed. The
minister went on his way, John went
to the hay field, and the lady resumed
her dish-washing. Fo/Test Republi

Efcgf* Buffalo girls are very saucy : “May I
see you home ?” inquired a lad of a lass at
church iast Sunday. “You may see me
anywhere you like, but you can t wali wnh
me,” was the pert response.
Six married women of Louisville
took a drunken fellow, who didn’t support
his fam ly, out of bed and whipped him,
the other night, just by way of reformation.
