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. Columbus Enquirer 13 th. 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 can-- 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. NO. 7.
