There was quite a little flutter one mors ning in the three smalDrooms occupied by Mabel,; stoat Aunt Sarah, and the helpless invalid mother. , s The latter was silently weeping, and nervously rubbing her thin white hands. Aunt Sarah, was grim and inflexible, and Mabel flushed and excited. 'lt is bettef, mamma, than working in the shop on those terrible coats, that broke me down with their weight, and I am sure the pay is far better. Miss Pallas is a rather easy going body, and I know I shall get along with her.’ said Mabel. ‘But it's the humiliating position. A lady’s maid 1 Only think, Sarah.' ‘H’m I Its betet than starvation !» And so the weak mother's objections went in the back gronud, and Mabel went out as a lady’s maid to a rich man’s only and ca pricious child. The work was not very hard and the sur roundings more than compensated for the low situation, by filling Mabel’s artistic eyes. There was something pleasant in behold ing the harmony and luxuriousr.ess of this palatial home, even though its posses sion was veritably a mythical thing. The wealth of lace, and shining silk, the gleam of white ra&rble and gold, the rosy fires the soft carpets, the perfumed atmosphere, the books, the pictures, the thousand laxuries spread unsparingly on every hand, were more than their owners ever dreamed, to the beautiful lady’s maid. Bat of all, Annie Dallas was a good wos man. She had the unfortunate habits of a spoiled child ; but she was warm hearted, loving, indolent, aud easily pleased ; and, therefore, Mabel’s labor became almost a pleasure. ‘Mabel, do you think that you will ever marry V she asked one morning, as Mabel was combing out her iQftg, abundant hair. ‘No, I suppose not.’ ‘No ! How cool you ar«. Why, I not only hbpe to, but mean to marry as soan as ever 1 can ma|£lfefionvenient.

Well, I made up my mind to marry Mabel'd face was very red, but Miss Dal-* Taa could not see it , and after a moment, she composedly said, ' ;f.* A ‘ ‘Yes. WeTl y tUt is nice.* f ‘No, it is not nice at all. He comes here very often, so, of courge, I have a good op* portunity to read his character, and I have made up my mind that he Was ttfe man of all others, to make me happy. Now listen Last night, 1h the course of conversation, we wandeied to that extremely delicate ’subject—marriage, and, although I had been making beautiful eyes at him jft th evening, Uetoolly said that he had seen be one woman in Mb life whom he would marsy. He said bo should marry her if heever fouu her, but that she was not accessible just at present. She asked him where she was, and he siid he did not know. Very odd, isn't it. “Vsry„’’ ‘‘And not over comfortable to m&, but then, there are plenty of others, I suppose ” Now, of course, all this had nothing to do with Mabel, bnt ehatook occasion to ask leave of ab sence and visit home that evening, aud to inquire if any one ha’d called? “Why no! Who on earth did yon expect?’* asked that practical Aunt Sarah. ‘ Oh, yes, Dr. Aylmer called and asked for yeti. 1 Buppose he called to get his pay. He asked where you was, and t 4>lJ him that yon were at work, and he %tntaway. » ’ j • N “Without asking where I was?” “Weit, he did ask in an Indirect sort of bat * - - -*■ _ * • m, 2«r|» *bz **jea mu mm jeq jmt, or A. i,i r v. **. i .. «K *- • "''.A GA-, MARCH 16th 1872 iwasn’tjgoing to tell him that you/sere actins&g lady’s maid, so I evaded the question.” JBgm Mabel went bapk to her lady, 'with an tented feeling pervading her, and then„£rf there was another blank in this acquafjtaacj 'W? tweeu.hereelf and Dr. Aylmer. She was growing out of the dull apathy which hadjsettled over her life, and there w&s color com ing back into her cheeks, and light into her won drous eyes. &Tbls life, with it's ugly title—“Hrfjr’s. maid” qad health andwarmth in.it, and/ehe-fiked it. It whs almostjlike going back to ‘the old child, hood days qWressing dolls, only that herj doll now livid and had a being, and] a will’ u of it’s OWU; All this while she was, prudently, hoarding her wages, and'dealing outlajliberal portion to the dear ones athome, andj“putting.aw»y” the re st. When the “rest” had accumulated to a satisfacto. ry amount, she donned her bonnet, and walked traight Aylmer’s office. Not/however, without a little trembling and nervoußnass; but she overcame this after a little, and bravely’mounted the marble steps, crossed the marble paved vestibule, and entered.the warm luxurious room. ‘‘Ah! Girard 1” he said. “Are you ill again?” “No. I came to settle my bill.” “Oh, you did? You’are hardest work again?” “Yes.” ‘ “Where Miss—Mabel?” ‘‘l am'Miss Dallas maid." “Annie Dallas! Are you the paragon of whom she has so frequcntly’spoken?” * “I think so.” Then there was an awkward pause. Dr. Ayl mer broke it by saying: ‘ ‘You never saw me but ~once before] ,'Mabel?’ ’ “No.” ' “I have thought of no one else since I saw you. “Indeed!” “Do jon believe in lcvc at first sight f “1 —dont know. “Well I do. I didn’t a short time ago, but well, Mabel, I am in love with you. And not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Ma bel stoob up, looked at the door, and sat back again. “You are all alone; Aunt Sarah cannot love you and care for you as I can. Come,‘Mabel, can you love me well enough to bo!my wife? What else could she do, but just what she did and that was to sob out, with a great lurst of tears. “Yes—l suppose so. “So it is you, Mabel, you fly puss, said good natured Annie Dallas, when Dr. Aylmer brough t back his beautiful little affianced. Well I had rather give Dr. Aylmer up to you than to any body else, and to show you that I dont care I*ll give you a wedding dress and be first bridesmaid “l think 1 had an impression when I first saw thuman, said Aunt Sarah. “Somehow I felt that something good would come out of it. and some thing better whenshe went out as lady's maid Synopsis of the Public School Law of Georgia, as Amended.

COUNTRY TAVERNS. • ; 4 I like country taverns! That is some of them! Some of them are good taverns for man and beast. But not good for a beast un less it had a man to care for it. These country tavoihs where a big fat man plays checkers and sleeps in the bar room in a chair beside a dog, while his pale, back aching, overworked wife picks chick eis, washed dishes, makes dumplings, sweeps out rooms, empties slops, patches her husbands breeches and scratches ehis back for her board and two calico dresses a year ! There is fun in stopping at some coun try taverns. Wflere they have but one towel for two persons, and that towel a cottdn one. Where the windows rattle like a bag fall of- shin-bones struck by lightning. Where there is a four-quart water pitcher full of settlings, and only a two.* quart slop vfessel and no place to empty it except the stove.

Where the little stove in the corner is fall of’ashes, the wood top long for the stove, the sap notjyefc out of the wood, the kindlingiin the barn and the boy to”build a fire not yet hired. Where the "comes into f your room wi bout knocking, just as .you have your head hid in the folds of a night-shirt and: says : ‘"Never mind Jit's only me or ask if you know of anybody who wants to buy a good hotel I Where the matches are to be found and the only way to cad’a servant Is to throw a "water-pitcher* down stairs, break a doorfdown, pick from the astonished folks, wfco comes to see what is up.

Where the molasses jug has not been cleaned since the death of John Brawn* Where the piece of meat brought on your plate is covered with grease, like a croß-cut saw on a winter morning. Where the plates are colder than the gable end of and ice house. Where the landlady pours tea with a pipe in her mouth, and the d’ning ro uaa help blow their noses on*the napkins* Where a fire is. never mad? when you order it* Where you are not called till the train has started, because that darned boy for got it. Where loafers sit up in the bar-room under your bed room, telling smutty stories till midnight—where dogs and young ones race up and down an uncar peted hall in the morning while you are trying to sleep. Where the one who calls an early riser next room hammers on the door, and yells till you would think that Vulcan and Gabriel had arrived on a drunk!
