A SINGULAR KO-VIaNIK.
F->r the Georgia Herald ]
Though the year eighteen hundred
and fifty has long since gone with its
“thorns and its roses to mix with the
dust of dead ages,” and the sweeping
tide of a late internicine war has inun
dated our Sunny South ; catching the
eagle of liberty without the ark of
safety, and leaving many of the Vul
tures of vice and contamination gath
ered around the wounded and bleed
ing carcass of our glorious old State ;
though the dusky drama now being
enacted in oiir legislative halls will
ever reflect shame upon this age, and
darken this page of Georgia’s history;
we are not totally severed from the
past. Memory still bears us back on
her downy pinions to those friends
and places of pleasure most de
lightful to our contemplation. It
is not the prosperity of the gov
ernment that so much delights u.s in
letrospeecing the past; nor i9 it the
pleasures of our own private life,
which makes the contemplation of the
aforesaid year as sweet as “memories
p ?rfume. ! ’
While visiting a dear friend resid'
ing in Madison, after many hours in
dulging in the inestimable pleasure of
viewing and admiring the beauties of'
that part, of the Lord’s moral vineyard.
Maude DeLacy began to inspect her
friends album. While eagerly look'
ing upon each lifeless face, and in
many instances criticising the skill
of the Artist very severely andamusc
ing herself by laughing at the rare
homeliness of which dame nature had
endowed some, she found one mina
ture image which appeared to her ex
tremely fascinating. With frantic
steps she rushed from the drawing
room to the beautiful and well furn
ished apartment of her friend, and
exclaiming with and air almost alarm
ing to Cainile, whose mind had but a
few moments left the “anarchy of
dreaming sleep. V/ What handsome fel
low is this? 0 ! I’de give all the but
tons on my old dress to be acquainted
with him. Who is he, and from whence
does he bail ?
“Why ?” says Camile, “he from
his entegrity of character, steady
moral habits, and more than all his
‘ spondulicks has extracted the gold
en opinion from both hijjh and low,
but especially the old folks. He is
well known to many of the young
ladies of Madison, and stands perpen
dicular in their estimation.
He is now learning the studies of
the senior class of the State Univer
sity and will be emancipated from the
rigid discipline of College life in the
present month of August.” “I had
the pleasure,” says Camile, “of meet
ing him as one Mr. William Adonis,
ami was informed by my friend who
lavished such a favor that he was the
only son of a wealthy merchant whose
locks are already tinged with snows
of age, and hence will soon embark
in the shadowy ship now anchoring
for passengers at the shore of this
rude world.
“O ! how appropriate for me,” says
Maude “as you know I am the sole
heir of a distinguished banker with
one hundred thousand cash; how fas
cinating the idea of casting with him
the die of greatest importance next to
the last thrown for eternity; what a
charming link we wou'.d make in be*»
ings endless chain ; and, O ! what a
blissful cup from which we would quaff
the essence of love! With ample
means at our command and a peculiar
fondness for traveling, bow delightful
ly could a bridal tour be spent visiting
first all the most important cities of
our fair Columbia, then to the home
of our ancestors, and follow the foot
prints of Phidias and Praxiteles
through the land of poetry and elo'
quence. And when tve have suffi
ciently admired that classic land so
much honored by containing the
ashes of an orator whose sublime ora
toins have reverberated throughout
the civilized world, and the sweet
pastoia’s, or more heroic measures of
a poet, whose heart once pregnant
with celestial fire “wrote as few men
have ever written.” When we have
thoroughly inspected that spot vet
red with gore from the Guillotine,
whose remaining inhabit.nts culled
from the garden of fame the bright*
cst flowers and offered them as an
oblation at Napoleon’s feet. In short,
when we hate performed Captain
Cook’s voyage, and then wish to
share some of the sweets of domestic
life, being sufficiently chaste and free
from all the ills and frailties of hu
manity, Ave will quietly retire to that
hallowed, that consecrated enclosure,
that favored spot of Divine love, the
Garden of Eden. There, amid the
luxuriant and variegated beauties of
nature which have elicited the admi
ration and engaged the attention of
succeeding ages; there where the
beautiful rose “acknowledged queen
of flowers,” would ever shed its po
tent fragrance to perfume the sweets
of our domestic life; the blushing
lily, “fit emblem of maiden purity,”
whould spread her downy leaves as a
carpet for our feet, and the majestic
magnolia sweetly waving its expan
sive foliage in the pure atmosphere of
heaven, there will we pass our mortali
ty in a state of bliss surpassing that of
our primeval parents. After this
outburst of passidn and enthusiasm.
Maude arid Camile, council as to the
most plausible means of having
Maude meet Willie as she was pica -
ed to call him. Knowing that the
sun of his College life was fast ap
proaching the western horizon, and
fearing that some enchanting venus
might shoot “Cupids” arrow into his
heart, Maude was loathe to await
the annual commencement which pro
claimed him no longer a school-hoy,
launched his bark on the sea of life
and rendered him capable of con
tracting in a manner very suitable to
her.
A few niglit3 of agitated slumber
having passed. A few nights of af
fliction with beatific visions more fas
cinating to her than would have been
the Apollo Belvidere of the Vatican,
having been spent, she resolved to
make circumstances tavor her with
Willie’s acquaintance. While en
deavoring to generate some occasion
to visit Athens, sweet Valentine s
day loomed up in the distance like the
“brands” of the sun, when precipitat
ed from a thin cloud. How much
delighted was she at such a favorable
opportunity of telling him in a val
entine that her heart had been
touched bv fancy’s magic wand.
After much impatience for the ar
rival of the eventful fourteenth, sev
eral nights loss of sleep, and the
destruction of several quires of guilt
edge letter paper, the day came.
Maude fearing her maid might be
careless visited the office in propria
persona and mailed the valentine to
Willie Adonis. Her anxiety to hear
from it can be better imagined than
described.
To give you, reader, more of the
particulars of the romance I must
submit the valentine and a part of
the correspondence for your perusal.
Hoping as the week is nearly ready
to go to the years beyond the fl >od,
and as you doubtless need recreation
from the week’s arduous labors you
will find a tempory pleasure in lLten
ing to the marration of these real in
cidents. I hereby submit the valen
tine ;
Cupid’s Home, Feb. 14, 1850.
Mr. Adonis: Woman has many severe
burdens to bear, as she passes from the
dawn of infancy to the threshold of nunen'
titv. She is charged of having been the
origin of the downfall of empires, the de
molitions and devastations of cities, and of
inducing old Adam to eat the forbidden
f. uit; thereby depriving him and all his
posterity of the indescribable happiness of
fired by the frag-ant garden of Ed n. I
trust, however, your generosity and magnas
nimity will pardon me for addressing ibis
note without ever having made your ac
quaintance. It is true, X have never had
tho honor to know you personally, but
nevertheless, 1 havo so niton boat I yr.ur
name h. l ' i ed wrh the sweetest note** nf
praise, that my highest admiration has been
jjiitDPd, and in addition, niy vision has once
softly reposed on y urseif in ph >t graphic
form. The silent influence began t, »»| or»
ate, and ore l irai e meeious of my real
state, my heart, of which I have so often
boadted as being impervious to the fascir a**
tioris of the male >ex, w .is completely
churned by the brilliant face portrayed
Upon the Card.
I deem it imprudent to tax you with an
unl.niited historical letter, therefore, I will
simply state that my purpone in writing is
to solicit an epistolary correspondence. 1/
you should accede to my proposition vor
will please make it known by responding
at your earliest possible convenient)*
Your unknown friend,
M..vns DkLacy,
Madiaun, Qa.
Ampys, Fob. 17, 1850.
Miss Maude • While witnessing the hilaa
rious mirth of my college mates and friends
this afternoon with a half melancholy air,
my entire being was thrilled by the electric
influence of the blisdul sentiments express*
ed in your fastidious proposition for the
existence of a correspondence. It is entires
ly needless for me to assert that I accede to
y.mr proposition. 1 prefer your judging
Irom my notions rather than my words.
My generosity and magnanimity will cer
tu nly induce me to pardon yor, if you havo
done anything for which you should ask or
receive pardon. If you were only aware
how much elated I was after perusing its
pages you would immediately see that (hero
> s ,u » necessity for asking pardon. As for
°ur mmacquaintanee, I only regret the ion*
possibility of my meeting you soon. As
you are wall aware, I am toiling, even by
ftio midnight taper, over the indexes of
mens minds, long since passed from ihe cons
A I '' s this eai t 1 , into the shadowy regions
oj tli* dvad. Aiy timl vacation wiih its
flagrant ros* sand th - aroma, of pleasure is
now numbered niaoi g the things that were,
>ud the extremeiy ligid discipline of coL
hge duties c odines me to the limits of
h‘autiful and delightful Athens. Circums
ntaoces, as you know, prevent the enjoys
ment of such profound b!i-s as I certainly
wound real ze from your acquaintance.
P.ease allow me to state that you have none
t e advantage of me in having seen my
m igc stamped hy the artist up n a card.
There is occasionally even in the dull
monotony of co'lege life something to cheer
the a’mof t disconsolate and weary heart of
the fatigued student and cause h m, for a
t me, to iorget the many arduous and la
borious duties imposed up m him, and for
a time, lie is wafted to the never to-be-for
g *tten fields < f pure bliss. Such was the
cafcc with tnyßc I s out time since when per**
milted to rest my s cady g,ze on your
mi.mature likeness. Were 1 n t afraid you
m.ght con iderme extravagant I would ex*
claim in toe InoguagH of the poet:
I ho-s i-.vea whose 11/t'ii- rather xlvca

I liey teli ot a pure fount that needs an o
ject on which to pour its refreshi, g waters.
1 hey tel a st <rc o! alineuient only desiring
a soul to nourish. I have heard your name
also mentioned many times with praiste
bordering on adulati. n. So it seems that
the “fates” have distributed to each of m
equally, out have left the more important
duty unconsummated, viz : our acquaint-*
ance. It is a pleasure indescribable tube
abb to endorse your propsition. It is in
deed a p easure, though 1 am fully aware
of iny inability to m;ike. an interesting o >r
respondent. Perhaps no act «)f my life,
no dictation of heart, no act of will, no ef
fort of mv b**ing, will ever be performed
m oe cheerful than stamping th 1 seal of
approbation upon your dear request.
It will be a monument of pleuMire to the
halcyon days of my youth. Blissful daysl
hallowed even as the joy of angel-, w here
the “go den chain of godlb e.-»” •« entwined
with the roses of friendship, though wj
know not each other. Days blooming with
th-i fl iff r> of joyous and happiest friend
si ip which hang mellitlucntly on the
hedges that line our pathway and whoge
sweetness and fragrance are as tlieshothiug
balm from amarynth- of heaven. Nothing
could give me m tre pleasure, when l recall
to mind your winning grace, possessing tne
p wer to melt the frozen heart and e-art the
life streams t > flow through the vital sys
tem, invigorating every limb and nerve
until the tender petals of affection, protect**
ed by the corrdias'f pure and generous
magnanimity expands into rich foliage uq*
and r which you take shelter, than to graufc
the corresp mdence.
When 1 tiiiuk of thy smile a train of
light ineffable, rippling over the features
so sweet as to wake the heart from sorrows,
arouse the native fountains of the soul and
stir the holy tides of feeling, causing the
heart to drink a draught of overflowing
bliss. I see in my imagination the brighn#
est flower that ever bloomed in pristine
g irgeuusnese outside the garden of Para**
dise. I fear t» mention the go lslike queea
of beauty that reigns supreme onjvour fi.ee,
lest she should fade from my touch.
Hoping that you will find me able to
make the correspondence ki a smaaU degree
interesting. and that you wi 1 not change
