exaggerated views of Eastern magnificence and
oriental splendor.

nineteen, entirely paralyzed from her hips down

The Kingston (S. C.) Star says: On Monday
afternoon, to the history of our town, was added
another event long to be remembered by all those
who witnessed it. The members of the Masonic
fraterney, at 4 o’clock, solemnly laid the corner
stone of the monument to the Confederate dead
on the site of the old Baptist church. The serv
ices were serious and impressive and brought
fresh to the minds of many present the impor
tant incidents of our late struggle for independ
ence. There are sixteen graves appropriately
arranged, in the centre of which stands the sim-
making their way than their brothers. Here, we
know, as a rule, the parents improvidently live
up to their income, bring up their children in
luxurious habits, and thus unfit them for that
life of trial for which they are destined. They
are, in a word, softened instead of hardened. A
common reply of the head of the family to the
suggestion that the future of the children should
be looked after, is that they will begin life under
the same circumstances as he did—that is, with
nothing—forgetting that the conditions of life
are changed, and that it is now impossible for
them to live as he once did.
If a helping hand is given, singular to say, it
is oftener to the man than the woman, either in
being admitted to the business of the father or
in being started on his own account. The sister i pie shaft, which is to witness through coming
must look out for herself. If she be handsome
and attractive she may find a husband. If she
be plain the chances are that she will remain a
spinster. Now. it is the experience of the new
as well as the old world, that a marriage settle
ment does facilitate the marriage of such an one.
The plums of beauty are only for the favored
men; in other words, all men cannot marry
pretty women. Nor can all girls marry an An-
tinous. Few, probably, marry their beau ideal
in eithersex. Many longing women wait in vain
for Almaviva with his guitar and his moon song;
many bachelors make bootless search for her
“ who was created for them.” Hence the need
of philosophy. The man must make his nest
with what he has in hand. The age is unpoetic
and unheroic: he mustcountthe cost of the mat
rimonial venture if he be an honest, orderly
man, desiring to pay his way, and if he cannot
get the ideal Juliet, he must content himself
with the more prosaic Mary.—Albert Rhodes in

ture. He arrested a kindling wood pedler who
was driving a wretched, broken down old horse.
The animal being of no special service to any
body, was condemned, and the poor tradesman
was presented with another horse by Mr. Bergh.

Miss Gertrude Tackett, one of the loveliest
young ladies of Cuthbert, Ga., was married in
the Methodist church of that little city on the
25th. The happy groom was Mr. S. E. Freeman,
of Fort Gaines. Beautiful wreaths of ever
greens and flowers were entwined around arches
overreaching the aisles near the altar, suspend
ing from which were the initial letters of the
happy bride and groom. At the hour designated
the happy party arrived, when the attendants
took their positions in the following order: W.

I A Wedding Postponed.—A Washington letter
to the Baltimore Sun has the following: Very

remarkably successful in business, and was re

The only funny thing about this society is its | gaged to be married to the daughter of one of the
richest gentlemen of Loudoun county, Ya., and
the wedding-day was fixed for yesterday. It is
stated also there were six hundred invitations
issued, and a special train of palace cars was en
gaged for the guests from this city. A few days
since, however, it was discovered that the con
stant display and the lavish expenditures for
which the young man had become noted were
based upon money obtained by the forgery of
the name of his expected father-in-law. The
amounts obtained are variously estimated at from
$6,000 to $30,000. The marriage has been an
nounced as “off.” The father of the young
man has made conveyances of real estate to se
cure the payment of the forged paper, and no
criminal prosecution will grow out of the trans
action.
On the 25th ult., at 10 o’clock in the day, Mr.
Frank G. Hancock, of Atlanta, was married in
LaGrange to Miss Eulalia Ferrell, at the resi
dence of Hon. J. H. Fannin, of that place. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. John W.
Burke, of Macon. A large crowd was in attend
ance. The bride was elegantly dressed in white
silk. There was a fine array of wedding pres
ents. After the ceremony and the congratula
tions, the bride changed her bridal attire for a
traveling dress, and was escorted to the depot
by a multitude of her friends. The bride’s love
liness was only equalled by her popularity.
She is one of the most brilliant singers in the
State. Mr. Hancock, the fortunate groom, took
down from Atlanta, Mr. B. Mallon, the superin-
intendent of public schools, Hon. Oscar Thom-
asson, of Madison, Mr. Frank Harris, Rev. J. W.
Burke, n£.Macon, Miss Hancock and Miss Red
ding. The party came to Atlanta on the midday
train arriving at 4 o’clock p. m. and repaired to
the Kimball House. After tea the newly married
couple received a largo number of calls. At half
after ten they toook the train for Macon, where
they will spend a few days. The residence of
Mr. Fannin, LaGrange, where the marriage took
place, has one of the finest flower gardens in the
State attached to it. Mr. Hancock is one of our
most industrious and promising young business
men of Atlanta. AVe wish him and his lovely
bride all the happiness they deserve.

A friend from Macon says: “In writing up

verification. ‘A looker-on in A'ienna ’ is not cor
rect; neither is it from “ The Two Gentlemen of |
A'erona. ’ You will find the correct quotation in j
act Y. scene I. of ‘Measure for Measure.’ ‘A !
looker-on in Yenice'is the way it is generally;
used.” ... If our friend has a volume of Shaks- j
peare, we request him to examine it and see if !
he can find the expression “a looker-on in Yen-
ice.” In three editions accessible to us, Vienna \
and not Venice is used. “ General use” does not j
make an expression correct. Upon investiga- j
tion, we find that a correspondent is responsible j
for locating it in the wrong play. It is found, i
as you say, in “Measure for Measure,” and the I
error was not noticed till you called our atten- j

Hon. Robt. J. Colville,—As I was looking
over the columns of The Sunny South, I was ir-
resisistibly attracted to a paragraph or advertise
ment where two lonely young men wished to
correspond with a few young ladies in order to
kill time. I am a great friend to orphans and
disconsolate ones of our city; therefore, I pro
pose to take you in hand. Your “advertise
ment” stated that you were either eighteen or
twenty-one, as best would please the young lady.
I prefer twenty-one; so you had better adapt
yourself to circumstances; but if you are under
twenty-one, I’ll have to adapt myself to circum- j
stances. Perhaps it is your friend that is the j tween the radii to the extremities of the'chord.

I am a resident of this city and presume you

give you a minute description of your would-be
correspondent. So read carefully, ponder, con
sider, etc.
I am, to begin with, a brunette, of just five
feet in height. My face is oval, and my nose— i
how can I do it justice? It is of that beautilul j
olassic style “pug,” which, as if cognizant of j
the exalted position it holds in this world, stands 1
out in bold relief, and being possessed of a nat- j
urally adoring nature, points heavenward. My j
sweet little mouth is like a little rosebud, which j
opens never to shut. Not that I was born talk- !
ative, but I have cultivated the art of eating to a j
certain degree of perfection. AVhen my mouth J
opens, it discloses two rows of pearls, literally I
teeth, each about the size of a butter-bean. But j
my eyes! They rival the midnight. They have j
a very sad expression, owing to the lively spirit j
that makes me get mad. My hair is black like
the raven’s wing, and straight as an arrow.
That is enough for my personal appearance; but
one thing,—that is, I wear a diamond—all mine,
too.

ture has lavished her many charms and choicest j
blessings, I have formed this opinion of you: i
You are medium height, brown eyes, black j
curls, bashful in the extreme, like to smoke, to |
tie tin cans to the caudal appendages of yellow j
canines, much to your and the poor insect’s im- i
mediate enjoyment. Also, you are fond of per- i
forming on the trapeze, especially the “ giant’s 1
swing.” Do you ever go serenading? But last
but not least, I imagine you are a good little boy, j
who likes to ride.
How long have you resided in Atlanta ? But
This, reduced to an algebraic equation, gives
<3=2.6052, or a“=149° 16 ', which gives the chord
278.66 feet. M. E.

I must not ask questions vet, for I do not know C. O. D. Address all letters to Miss Helen J. Haas, care
that yon will favor me with an answer. But
have some pity on me, and do not break my
heart, for I’ve had two of my sweetheart’s to
abandon me for other girls who wore lovelier tie-
backs. But that only served to kindle the fire
in my heart, and I am now celebrated for the
loveliest tie-back that was ever imported. I
have sworn (?) by the Styx that the next such
disappointment I have I’m going to take the
sleep-giving chloroform, and crying, “Here,
somebody, ketch me,” grasp Death by the hand
and swing off from this wicked, cruel-hearted
world.
But to come hack to the original subject,—
“How old are you?” I answer meekly, sweet
sixteen, and tell no lie. I want you to give me
your true name, if you were ever christened, and
of course I’ll give mine in future, as I was chris-
