Love Without 3fonsen*e,
Not a Bit Like a Novel— A Capital
Takeoff ox th e Modern Hioii Pres
sure Style of Doing it.
Once upon a time there was a fair
young maiden, whose name was Mary,
although they called her Moll for short.
LShe wasn’t a tali, dark-eved maiden,
with clear, transparent skin, and lips
like cherries, and cheeks suffused with
blushes. She didn’t have glossy black
hair, sweeping back in wavy tresses
front her queenly brow, and her
form wasn’t a bit like ilebe’s. No,
there was none of those things: on the
contrary she was short and thin, and
had red hair and heckles, and she also :
sported snaggled teeth and wore pads, j
but still she was a right nice girl, and
there was a young man who fell in love
with her, and his name was Bill, allho’gh
his friends called him William when i
they wanted to hurt iiis feelings, for he j
didn’t like it much. He wasn’t fine j
looking, and had neither curly brown
hair nor a moustache. Not much. —
Bill laid himself out. on soap locks,and
wore a goatee that lie had dyed twice a
week.
Now this Bill, lie was in love with
Mary, but did he go and make a delib
erate ass of himself ?
Did lie, I say.go into agro vewith her
and in the toil moon-light, by the
streamlet that murmured sweetly by,
and with the tender zephyrs sighing
through the foliage, fall down on his
knees, seize her jeweled hand, and
berathe his deep affection in the tender
accents of fond attachment, and swear
“by yon bright orb above us, always
to bj thins ?” Did.he, l say? You
can just bet he didn't. You can iay
out your whole revenue safely on that.
William knew too much about the
price of pants to go' flopping around the
uet grass with his best clothes on;
besides, he never cared for anything
about streamlets kind of cold
water, except to mix with his gin. No.
sir ; it was exceedingly strange, but
this infatuated William met her at the
alley gate, and he stood right i.p on
his old legs and says : “Say, Moll, old
gal, spose we get hitched ?”
But how did Mary behave ? Did
she go drooping to sleep over on the
bricks in a dead faint, or did she hide
her gentle head on his shirt bosom to
conceal her blushes ? No, she didn’t,
and she ciitln.t say “I am ever thine,
my own love, dear William !” Oh,
my, no! She looitcd right in his yel
low eyes and says, “I’m in, Billy ; I’m
the gal for these sort ol things. Go
iu !” And instead ol referring him to
her father, she only said, “Won’t the
old man bust right out when you tell
him? 11a! ha!” and she laughed.—
But she didn’t ask William to mollify
her fond father. No, no. She very
wickedly advised him to “poke the old
man in the nose, if he gave him any of
his lip.” She was a funny girl, this
Marv.
Now the old man wasn’t wealthy,
for he sold soap-fat for a living, and so
he didn’t think Bill was nosing around
after his stamps; so, when Bill asked
him, he neither ordered him fiercely
iwav, n»r did the dewy moisture gather
in his eagle eye as he passed his hem
stitched up there and said : “Bless you,
my children, bless you !” Oh no,
nothing of the sort. He just blew ins
old red nose on his bandanna and told
Bill to take her along, for he was glad
to get rid of her, fie was, and William
would be the same way soon, for she
was awful rough oil victuals, and al
ways broke plates when she got mad.
So. you see- there really was no ne
cessity for William to come at mid
night’s solumn hour, in a cab, and
throw a rope ladder up to her window,
and whistle three times on Lis fingers,
and tlien go up, hand over hand, and
bring her down in one hand, and her
trunk in the other, and a band-box and
umbrella under each arm, and a whole
lot of bundles, and then get into a cab
and fly to some distant shore. Thai’s
the way it would have been in a novel:
but Bill said he wasn’t on that lay, so
he just went out in the yard, and out
ol pure joy, he skinned the cat three or
lour times on the grapevine arbor, and
then went and got his butcher cart, and
drove Mary right down to tfie magis
trate, to get the job done for a quarter
—for he said he was some on the iow
price, he was.
But the queerest thing of all was,
that Bill had no tall, dark, ruffianly
rival, with a scowling visage and black
whiskers, who flew at him with a
drawn dagger and a horse pistol in each
hand, and a muttered curse upon iiis
lips, and cried wildly for “revenge. --
Ha! ha!” and said “Sdeth !” and
“Viliian, thou diest !” Not any.—
There was another fellow in love with
Mollie. to be sure, but he was a weak
eved young man. who had sandy hair
and wore spectacles and a choker col
lar, and always looked scared when
vou hollered at him. So, when he
saw that Bill had the best of the -girl’s
affections, he looked all serene, and
said, “Go in Billy, if you hanker for
her j” and as Billy was a trifle on the
hanker, he sailed right in.
So William, you see had no trouble
at all and you couldn’t get up an
agonizing novel about him, if you
tried. lie didn’t have any urgent bus-
| iness that called him to a foreign Land,
so he had to bid her a fond gone-bye,
and swear always to be trite, and then
go away and forget her and fall in love
with a dark-eyed Italian girl, picking
; grapes in a vineyard, with square towel
| folded on her head, while his forgotten
| and forsaken Mary gradually faded ant!
! pined away, and baffled the phj sician’s
| skill, and grew paler, and at last, when
i the June roses were in bloom, lying
i gently' down to die, while through the
i open window floated in the balmy
I order of jessamine and honeysuckle.—
, And William didn’t come home at last.
and filled with deathless remorse, go
daily to the cemetery and strew flowers
on her grave, and teach his children to
lisp her name. Not at all; that is the
way' Mrs. E. D. E. N. South worth
would have done it, but she wasn’t
around. Hilly was a butcher who
wore a white shirt and a shiny hat, and
he stayed at home and killed beef and
sold it at a big price, and he stuck to
Mary, and she kept healtfiv and wasn’t
much on the pine, or the fade, while if
any fellers got to lurking around, Wil
liam went right out and batted them in
the eye. He did.
And then, at last when all was over,
Mary didn’t sit in the room while tliev
dressed her in white, and mixed orange
blossoms in her waterfall, and then
gently went down stairs with six
bridesmaids at her heels to stand up
with her and William, and weep
gently while she was being married by
the minister, and then get lots of
presents, and then go to her new
house, and live through all the happy
years with Billy', and never know
sorrow, or trouble any more. Why, of
course, she didn’t, for it wasn’t her
style, you see.
She just rushed up stairs and put on
her pink muslin and her old sun bon
net, and had nary brindsmuid, and went
to the magistrate’s and never wept a
particle, and got no presents except fif
teen cent3 from the old man to nay her
car fare home, and when she got to the
magistrate’s she juet rose up off the
bench and told Hill she didn’t see no
use in splicing, and she didn’t like hun
anyway' ; and so slm went home, and
Bill he went with her, and told her
he wasn’t sorry, as he didn’t want her.
and he guessed she was hard on her
clothes, any how, and so they never
got married, and the whole thing turn
ed out wrong; but I couldn’t help it.
for I ain’t going to put facts on record
that wan’t so. But it ain’t a bit like
any novel that I ever read, so there
must have been somethi i strange abou f
this fellow and Mo!lie that 1 never
con’d fin.l out, so I’il have to let it
slide as it is.
A JKravc 51oy.
For the information of some of our
voting rcadc s we would ueoion that
Ll.. 1 and, or the Kingdom of the Neth
erlands, is the most level part of Europe
and much of its surface is lower than
the sea, which is prevented from over,
flowing the land by vast dykes or
r nv ankments.
Tnere was once a little Hollander,
who though a very child in years, sav
ed many of his countrymen from
destruction. The legend, for history
had hardly stooped to chronicle the
deed, informs us that this lad on his
return from school, passing along a
sequestered road, looking, with child
like cu riottity, :it a dyke, saw a
small stream of water breaking through,
which as it oozed, carried away some
particles of the bank. It was the small
beginning of what might be a frightful
end, some such catastrophe as sweeps
away, before its relentless tide, our
southern homes, i'he boy had present
to his mind simply danger; before he
could reach assistance u might be 100
late, and he felt that the remedy was
with him and must be promptly appli
ed. Our hero left the highway, and
clambering up to the spot, planted
himself in the very breach of danger,
and thrust his little hand into the in
creasing aperture; to his joy he found
it closed the avenue and ail was right.
A few hours, at worst, he deemed
would bring some passer-by to bis
reliel ; but though he strained his eyes
and hearing, no wayfarer greeted his
senses. Tim evening would certainly
find some stray wanderer, or perchance
they might be passing on the opposite
side and not see him. He tried his
voice, but this soon failed h.m, and
night came on; to him, brave boy.
“The nij'lit came on alone, '*
As darkness came around htrn, we
can well imagine that tears found their
way down his cheeks. Doubtless too
there came before him the image of
home, of brothers and sisters and anx
ious parents. With that thought came
the lesson of piety received from a
mother’s lips; and he cried for strength
from above. All unused to such ex
posure, wearied, hungered, his little
arm paining and swelling, all these
increasing through the watches of that
night, what else was his support ? No 1
mere animal eu iurance could have
sustained tins anguish half this time ;
and yet, till daybreak and searching
triends brought relief, this faithful
sentinel withstood it all! When re
covered from this and the peril of
succeeding sickness, he was asked if,
du-ing that long night he had no fear if
11 is answer tells of true patriotism j
“No, 10 ! I knew God would presorve
me for preserving others.”
Mining in Upper Georgia. —There
J is great activity in the mining interests
! of Northern Hud Northeastern Georgia,
j A writer in the Journal 4’ Mr sicnger
refers to a number of quartz veins
opened near Ac worth, on the Stato
road. One is owned by Dr. Hamilton,
another by Major Latimer, of Macon
besides these are the “Payne” “Gran
ham,” ••Baldwin” and "Cox” mini
all within lour insle.s of Ac worth, i
Cherokee county several mines Inn
been opened by O'Neil, Foster fy Cos.,
and one by Brolly & Cowan, cn which
nuggets, weighing two ounces, havo
been found. Near this is the "Bell
Mine,” and several others of promise,
opened by Major Goldsmith. Ail
these are within seven miles of Ac
worth.
The Athens JVntchman refers to
rich discoveries in White and Lumpkin
counties. Dahlonega is crowded with
miners, and every night presents very
much the appearance of a mining town
; n California. The Yahoola mining
company are preparing, with £reat
energy, to wash down a mountain close
by, which promises fine result*.
At Loudsville the Lewis gold mine
is worked upon a large scale, under tho
direction of Capt. it. R. Asbnry, as
mining engineer, who has had long
experience there and in California, and
very expensive Machinery for crushing
the quartz has been brought out by
New York and Boston companies.
Work is going on at a number of other
points. One of the most extensive is
at Nacoochee, in White county, ou
lauds of Mr, Richardson and others,
leased by the “Nacoochee Hydraulic
Company.” They have brought water
eight miles, and with heavy hose pipes
are washing down tho high hill called
II an by mountain, at several points,
with very encouraging success. This
is a Boston (ompany, under Dr. Dean,
who came to White from the mines of
North Carolina, several years before
the war, and found the largest nugget
of pure gold ever seen in the State,
weighing 387 dwts., and another over
half pound! One miner put into his
hands nearly two pounds o[ gold which
he had procured atone washing! Is
there any thing in California or Aus
tralia much richer than this?
The hose pipes are tearing up the
whole fa'-e of nature and making gulif a
one hundred fed deep in a few days.
Union and Rabun parties are finding
encouragement to invest c p tal in new
localities. and miners are coming in
from North Carolina and elsewhere,
and infusing anew energy in the min
ing interest.
“Put Him Through.”
Some days ago a brace of lovers en*»
tered a potograph saloon, and Wanted
their pictures taken. The lady gave
precedence to her swain, who, she
said, “had to be tuck lust, and real and
natral.”
lie brushed up his tow hair, gave his
handkeichief a twist or two, and asked
his girl if his colai was X and placed
himself in the operator’s chair, where
he assumed the physiognomical char
acteristics of a poor mortal in the
dentist’s hands and about to part with
one ol his teeth.
“Now do look purtv,” begged the
lady, casting one of her languishing
faces.
.'l’he picture was taken. When pro
duced, it reminded the girl, as she
expressed it, “just how Josh looked
when begot over the measles; and as
this was notjan era in commemoration,
she insisted that “he should stand
again.”
He obeyed, and she attended him to
the chair.
“Josh.” said she, “just luko smiling,
and kinder don’t.”
The poor fellow tried to follow tho
injunction.
“La!” said she, “you look all puck
ered up.”
One direction followed another, but
with as little success. At last, growing
impatient and desperate, she resolved
to try an experiment which she con
sidered infallible, and exclaimed:
‘ I don’t keer if thar is folks around.”
She enjoined the operator to stand
ready at the camera. She then sat in
her fellow’s lap, and throwing her
arms round his neck, managed to cast
a shower of flaxen ringlets as a screen
between the oporator and the proceed
ings, which were betrayed by sounds
which revealed what was taking place.
When the billing and cooing had lasted
a few minutes, the girl leaped from
Josh’s lap. clapped her hands and cried
to the astonishment of the artist:
•Now you’ve got him, put him thro.*
A wag says he prevented a case of
hydrophobia by “getting on a fourteen
rail fence and staving until the do./
