THE SUNNY SOUTH.
Mary Ann. and I.
“Mary Ann,” said I, “what’s living?”
My domestic partner faced about and looked
at me. Now do not imagine that I am one
of the “lords of creation” whom Mary Ann
has promised to love, honor, and—so forth.
Nothing of the kind. We are just two lone
women, are Mary Ann and I. Two old women
tied—not to an apple tree or anything else
very productive, but pretty closely tied,
each to her own work; for, not having taken
up the burden of our mother Eve, we had,
from necessity, to take up that of our father,
Y Adam, and earn our bread by the sweat of
our brows. I cannot say that I think Mary
and I were born for each other, but having
“met by chance, the usual way,” we conclu
ded to consolidate our forces from about the
same course of reasoning as that by which
the poor Scotch lassie justified herself to her
pastor for marrying a man equally poor.
“May it please you. father,” said she, “1 had
a blanket and Jimmy had a blanket, and we
thought it would l>e well to put them togeth
er.” Neither do I think that Mary Ann and
I had as many rosy visions about “doubling
our joys and dividing our sorrows” as many r
who go into domestic partnerships; but we
did have some definite ideas about doubling
our household furniture, blankets included,
and dividing our expenses. So you will un
derstand me when I say' that my' domestic
partner turned about and looked at me when
I asked, “Mary' Ann, w hat’s living?”
“I should say it consisted principally in
ket ping body and soul together,’ answered
that practical woman.
“ And how is that to lie done?" said I.
“Enoughto eat, enough to \year and a good
fire like this in cold weather,’’said Mary Ann.
“And are the comforts of the body all that
hold body' and soul together?” I asked.
“I don’t see,” said Mary Ann, “that souls
are apt to quit good, healthy, comfortable
bodies and go hunting for anything better. I
don’t believe it’s their way.”
“But do clothing and food and shelter al
ways make good, comfortable, healthy bod
ies; must not the mind l>e also fed and wann
ed, even if it 1-e only that it may furnish the
blood with happy', lively motion?”
My partner dropjied her hands in her lap
and looked squarely at me again. “Whatdo
you want now?” said she.
It is not pleasant to feel that some one else
understands you thoroughly when you are
trying to play a little game of hoodwink with
yourself and make yourself believe that you
are not forming your ideas of what is right
and acceptable by what touches you as every
one in this creation has formed his. So I an
swered somewhat sharply, “I want a great
many things, and some few I mean to have.”
There was silence: for Mary Ann. though
very direct when she does say anything, is a
master hand at minding her own business,
and I sat thinking and planning: enjoying
things beforehand, quite contented and hap
py. knowing that the little I had in my purse
w as my own, to go, when it did go, as I
pleased. Therefore, it was probliably with
more good nature than if I had been the de
pendent menil>er of a domestic firm, that 1,
by and by, said, “You know, Mary Ann, I
am just as prudent as you are. I like to spend
my money in a different way. That is all.”
“That is all.” said Mary Ann.
“And now I’ll tell you; that there’s a pic
ture down the street in a bookstore i hat I
must have. It’s only a chromo and unframed
but I can ”
“I thought you didn’t prize cheap art,”
sai<l Mary Ann.
“I don’t think I ever said exactly that, but
I do say that I would give more for one fine
picture than for a house full of the chromos
of the day as they average. But once in a
while vou see a chromo, and sometimes of
the cheapest kind, that is an accidental
beauty You are well aware, Mary Ann,
that about art, ns art, 1 know—well, really
nothing. But I like that picture down there.
It lets mo out.”
“What keepsyou in.” said Mary Am,.
“ “Fatigue and the want of a coach and four.
And if one can get taken out so easily ”
“Or taken in,” added Mary Ann.
But 1 did not mind it. 1 know it is consid
ered by our l>est writers and talkers as noth
ing short of an insult thus to interrupt with
cheap wit a person's conversation; and 1 did
feel insulted, but I smothered my w rath, for
I considered—have not those who do not care
for conversations their l ights also, and must
they not defend them as liest they can? Is it
not quite as much an imposition for any one,
however w ise or leai ned, to claim the right
of conversing uninterruptedly at people
whether they wish it or not? Perhaps it was
an innate sense of this other side of the sub
ject, a feeling that I as well as Mary Ann,
spoke to let out and relieve myself, that made
me take her unintended insult to my intellect
so coolly and go on saying: “Why should
not one take a still journey for health mid re
creation now and then?”
“Still journey,” said Mary Ann, “by’ rail or
river?”
“By light,” I answ ered. “I tell you, Mary
Ann, a far look does the eyes and soul good,
and in this crowded collection of houses and
people one can hardly get that either physi
cally or menially, for both physically' and
mentally our eyes look out upon the walls of
our neighbors, which they havebuildedabout
their homes of body and about their homes of
soul for protection and comfort. Necessary
walls, but— I believe the old frontiersman
who could not bear a neighbor within twenty'
miles, must have been some relation of mine,
for I do like room, enough to ‘find myself,’ as*
Emerson says, anyway. This little snug
gery of ours, with its four walls, shuts out
the city as the walls of the city shut me out,
and gives me so much room at least: room for
a little time, to think my own thoughts and
feel my’ own feelings: room for my nature to
grow restfully as plants in the still night;
room for my soul to breathe the breath of life
first-hand from God, not blown from others’
lips and changed by’ others’ li\es. And my
soul wants the help of my eyes, and my eyes,
shut in here, want this picture with its out
look over the suow-covered roofs of a city',
that they may' dream that they are looking
on and on and out and out, until their force
goes no further, till they have stretched them
selves like a steed at the race that is no longer
restive in the stall. ” I lay back on the lounge
and shut my eyes. Lhad forgotten the pres
ence of positive Mary Ann: had forgotten
all the self-asserting facts that rubbed against
me through the days and days. They were
all behind me. Before me was breadth, space,
opportunity, type of the never ending. But
the things to which you have put your back,
though they are not seen, may sometimes be
heard from, and a voice liehind me said ujxm
the grand silence, “You might as well go to
bed os sleep here. Come!” A. Fxjrbkr.

Harrison & Co., Atlanta, Ga., publishers of
the Christian Index, the leading Baptist pa
per in the South, a copy of the superb work
of art, “The Portrait Gallery,” which they
have issued as a premium to Index subscrib

the finest and most costly art-work that has
ever been put forth in the Southern Stages
by any publishing house. In design and ar
tistic execution, it is a gem. The best en
gravers in the United States were engaged
upon the work for a long time, and no ex
pense was spared by the publishers to give
perfection to the work.
The size of the engraving is thirty-three
inches by forty-seven inches. It is printed
in three colors; and, in a handsome frame,
makes a magnificent picture. It contains
3&i life-like portraits of distinguished Geor
gia Baptist ministers and members. A vol
ume which is to accompany the Gallery, and
which is now being prepared, will contain
illustrated biographical sketches of all that
are represented. The bound volume will
comprise about 700 pages 8vo, and.will cost
from $3.00 to $5.00, according to style of
binding. The volume will be sold by sub
scription only.

The Lovely

City.
[From our Special Correspondent.]
Our beautiful “City of Rocks” is just now
in its prime and glorv. The “hard times” of
a few 3-ears back have almost entirely dis
appeared, while thrift and prosperity have
taken their place.
As I walk through the lively city I see, on
every side, sure signs of the happy era now
at hand. Industry is the order of the da3',
and even the old loafers of the Maxwell
coiner have deserted their posts, ashamed,
no doubt, to meet the glances of the busy
passers-by!
The mammoth ware houses down on our
Broad street, give unmistakable signs of
prosjierity. Greut lades of cotton ami liar-
rels of provision and produce show the in
creasing trade. The wharf, too, is a scene of
happy activity, heavily laden boats arriving
and leaving daily.
The square is no less a stirring thorough
fare. The elegant blocks of wholesale busi
ness houses that flank its four sides are all
a- flourishing as green lmy-trees, while the
solid, well built court house stands with dig
nity in the centre of the square, sharing its
honors with its neiglilior, the market house.
The cit>- fathers meet there within its legal
walls and consider the needs and ailments of
their daughter—the city—and judges, with
their important, awe-inspiring countenances
and ponq>ous carriage, wend their way to its
huge portals. Clerks, with their hurried air,
ana law>'ers, with their 1 ever-ceasing talk,
all flock to its cool, pleasant halls; and last,
hut not least, the irrepressible reporter is
seen dodging in and out among the court
chambers.
The latter class remind one of a terrier on
the scent of a rat, so wutchful and sharp are
they with their knowing l<x>k of the eyes and
listening apjiearanee of the ears. It is easy
to distinguish these knights of the quill from
the “knights of the brief,” for while the law
yer may generally be found talking, the re
porter is engaged with pencil and paj>er,
asking the fewest jiossible questions that will
bring forth a clear and satisfactory answer.
Nashville has three daily papers—the Amer
ican, the Banner and the Herald. The two
last are evening journals. The American is
known as an institution of the city, so long
has it been published, though the Benner is
not a whit behind hand in authentic news
ami popularity. The Herald is a small sheet,
issued a few weeks since and consequently
does not enjoy the advantages or reputation
of its contemporaries, yet, even in its infancy
it bids fair to lie a well-conducted pajier.
Here I must, remark upon the good-nature
and courtesy' existing between the three
journals—something as pleasant to notice as
it is rare.
This city is noted for its fine buildings, and
may justly lie proud of its many beautiful
architectural improvements. It is already
conceded to be the educational centre of the
South, its numerous institutions of knowl
edge attest the preference shown for its
school system. The most imjiortant college
here is the magnifieentn Vanderbilt Univer
sity, with its incomparable beauties of design
and finish. I shall not attempt a description
of it in this letter, as 1113' space is insufficient
to do justice to it and the surrounding
grounds and residences; I may touch on this
in my next. The State Normal School, the
Medical University, the Goodman Business
College and many others devoted to educa
tional purposes, would he ornaments to any'
city.
Take Nashville in its blooming lieautv, sit
uated between gently' undulating hills that
nearly form a circle around it, and with the
classic Cumberland flowing through it (Edge-
field having lieen ‘recently annexed ns East
Nashville) take it all in all, with its industrious
maim factories, theatres, elegant residences,
admirably' managed hotels, magnificent
churches: its constantly increasing imputa
tion, its brave intelligent rani, its refined,
cultivated worn ill, and an impartial observer
would readily’ concede it to be. now in its
Centennial year, the most attractive city of
its size in the South.
Before I close, let me add one tribute to
the fair sex of onr fair city. Nashville p'«-
sesses the most beautiful women in ail the
country. Tennessee is a garden—Nashville is
its loveliest spot and her daughters the rare-
est roses that cluster round her borders.
Every competent judge admits that our
girls are distinguished for their Ilelie loveli
ness and graceful manners. Even the dear
little schoolgirls are surpassingly fair, with
their rosy cheeks and bright, young faces.
The matrons excel in dignity and elegance
and the lieautifnl ladles are just too charm
ing and ]>i(/uante for anything. Such style,
grace and saucy beauty are seldom so lav
ishly bestowed as upon our witching Nash
ville girls.
Au revoir until my next,

FORFEITS FOR FI A.

In the evening games of winter gatherings
of young people, and older ones too, it often

more, of the company by imposing a “For

either is not easy to follow out to the letter—
that is, has some catch in it, or puts the per
son in a conspicuous and amusing light. In
all cases a forfeit should lie designed to amuse
the company as a whole, and never to offend
the person called upon to pay* it. In order
to illustrate our idea of a good forfeit, and

The attention of manufacturers, mechan

tion: Which is the liest. pocket dictionary for

1. By-ard is the correct pronunciation of
the Senator’s name. 2. No doubt y’our lady
love merely acts as her bump of cautious
ness and her maiden modesty suggest in not
pouring out her love in letters that may
chance to be seen by careless or mischief
making eyes. What you say gives us a high
opinion both of the young lady’s discretion
and her delicacy. And such reserve is very rare
among girls. Usually they are too much
given to gushing upon paper, and are often
made to blush upon recollecting, seeing, or
hearing of their too effusive letters.
Prize what the spoken words, the acts, the
looks, the blushes, of your Juliet tell you
rather than what she may say by “word of
pen.” People write deceitfully more often
than they speak insincerely. 3. The best
pocket dictionary, as we think, is Webster’s,
though we have a special liking ourselves for
Reid’s.
“A Subscriber," of Palmetto, Georgia, puts
his case—which we suspect to be personal—
thus: “When a young man who has called
upon a young lady, and at half-jiast ten
o’clock has risen to take his leave, is pressed
by her to remain longer, and does stay till
midnight, does he, by so doing, violate eti
quette? * * * He violates
good sense a little, we should say. Notwith
standing the young lady’s pressing invitation
to remain (which is a breach of good taste
unless she had something urgent to say- to
him) he would have lieen more sure of leav
ing an agreeable impression if he hart grace
fully excused himself and added that he liiqied
to repeat hi* visit at an early- day. “Short
visits make long friends,” says tlie tme old
adage. We have seen young men visitors so
obtuse that they' would continue to stay
after it was evident from the young lady’s
politely- smothered yawns that she was wea
ried, and even after very’ plain hints had been
administered We always long, with Dr.
Holmes, for a social inclined plane upon
which to slide out such visitors, who find it
impossible to leave long after they have
ceased to be entertaining. Excessive spoom
