CARTERSYILLE; GA. Jan i, 1567, 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./ left.” ' 4 In Washington a w< man shot a man because he did not marry her; in Cm cinnatti another shot one b raise he did.
