Resurrection of Mrs. Jouas Jones, Colored.
Not long ago, dame rumor said.
That Mistress Jonas Jo.nes was dead ;
That driving out to church one day.
The horse took fright and ran away,
The buggy smashed and scattered wide,
And kicked poor Dinah so she died.
But rumor with her thousand tongues
Talks diverse ways, does many wrongs.
True the buggy was sadly smashed,
And Mrs. Jones much bruised and gashed,
But Dinah’s time had not yet come,
The Lord would not then call her home.
The people at the church near by,
Who heard the crash and then a cry,
Ran to the spot, and there they found
The sister prostrate on the ground. .
She lay unconscious for a while,
Her face illumined with a smile,
When all at once she oped her eyes,
Gazed first around, then tow’rd the skies,
And said, “O why'nt yer let me ’lone,*
I’d reached the gates, I seed the throne,
And but for you, dat Tobe so fine,
Dat harp and crown would now be mine,
As Mrs. Jones was borne away.
Back to her home that fatal day,
She asked the church to pray that she
Might soon get well and holier be ;
That neither envy, hate nor pride
Might thenceforth in her heart abide ;
She said that she was done with wheels
And horses too, that used their heels ;
That after thia where e'er aho v.eai
If clear across the continent,
Over the peoples line she’d pad,
Whether the road was good or bad.
To everyone she’d be polite,
Especially if they were white;
And never for the road contend,
Neither with strangers, foe nor friend.
Dinah’s reform seems quite complete,
She hopes that Tilden’ll take his seat,
And says that Jones shall turn his coat,
And with the Rads no longer vote.
But now that she has gotten well,
How she'll behave I cannot tell,
But lest she should apostatize,
(N. B.—This doctrine she denies.)
To her, I’ll sendAn proper time, -J

MISCELLANEOUS.
NOT TO BE CAUGHT.
Two men sat in conversation. The.cool
ing wind played gently with the short brown
curls of the younger, while his handsome
eyes and face were lighted by a bright,
animated expression. “I can scarcely
credit such good fortune. Are you sure
there is no mistake ?” he said.
"Perfectly; here are, the, documents.
Prove your identity; prove to our satis¬
faction that you arc Ralph Hamilton, son of
John Paul Hamilton, and you are a rich
man. Can you prove it?”
“I can, immediately. But this is indeed
a welcome change ; to spring from deep
poverty to such wealth in a moment, by the
death of an unknown relative, seems almost
incredible. I am grateful to you, Metcalf,
for your pains in so soon seeking me ; also
for your interest in my welfare. I have one
favor only to ask in addition; that you
remain silent about it. The fact of my
changed circumstances need not be made
known as yet. I shall not alter my style of
living for awhile, but shall fulfill an en
gagement to become the private tutor of
two small boys residing, strange to relate,
in the same place where lies this new
tate. In taking the property, you say I am
required to assume the name of its former
owner. This I will do, after a few- months
spent in the neighborhood as a poor teacher.
I have met sad rebuffs during the days of
my poverty, and I have no idea of being
made a \ ictim of some fortune hunter, so I
will win some good woman for love's sake,
then settle down and enjoy myself.”
* * # # * *
In a beautiful residence sat two ladies
Mrs. Corsair and her daughter Zoe, while a
third, a nice of the elder lady, Blanche
Gilmore, stood with a light hat in her hand,
as though jurt returned from a walk. They
were discussing the appearance of a new tutor
who had undertaken for a time, on trial,
theeducation of the two sons of the family,
Charley, one of these boys, had just
‘ies, indeed ! exclaimed both young
ladies, as they surveyed the fine figure and
handsome face approaching; and when the
y° vn R man smiled pleasantly upon Charley,
Blanche thought she had never seen so
handsome z man, while Zoe whispered :
“If the young heir of the Beilmont
property prove one-half as handsome I
be content.”
A splendid estate, with a residence of
al| nost royal magnificence, lay within sight
0f their P rett y home, and had just, through
tQ e death of old Mr - Beilmont, a childless
"'dower, . passed into the
hands of a young
relative, expected soon to visit the premises,
Zoe Corsair and her prudent mother had
decided to appropiate both owner and estate
* s 80011 as possible after his arrival. The
now tutor, Mr. Hamilton, soon became a
great favorite with his pupils Living as he
Crawfordville, GeorgiA April G, 18 i i.
didin the family, he soon became well
acquainted with all, while he evidently
admired the beautiful Zoe. who treated hint
with cool politeness. Of Blanche he saw
little She was only the poor relation,
pending upon her uncle for support, there
fore compelled to bear every imposition and
caprice the worldly, selfish aunt and cousin
fit to inflict.' Only little enjoyment was
hcro i a seUtaty spot, a deep ravine wildly
romantic and secluded, not far from her
uncle's residence. Thither she went one
beautiful afternoon, tripping along down
the small winding path that led to the
depths below. But suddenly she paused, a
groan and faint call for help arresting her
steps. Hastening to the spot where she
judged the sufferer to bo, she saw a man
lying at the foot of the ravine, motionless
and now quite still.,
In a few moments she was beside him,
and, on lifting his head from the ground,
she found Mr. Hamilton, the tutor, un
conscious.
Runniug to the stream of water, she
dipped in her handkerchief, and bathedjiis
brow.
At last lie opened his eyes, and gazed
long and vacantly upon her.
“Ah, yes, I remember, I did fall. I leaned
over to pluck a flower, and lost my balance.
But I feel better again, thanks to .you for
your care, and I will see if I cannot rise.’’
“Lean on me, Mr. Itamiton, I think I
can get you up the path, if it is steep, to the
road, and from thence, after a rest home.”
Slowly, yet surely, leaning on the young
girl for that support he was so accustomed
to give to others, he crept along, often
stopping to rest, until at last the level road
was gained, and from there his own room, to
which a physician was soon summoned, and
his Urn,> set Hint in discs attended to.
Lying fees helpless upon his lied, the door
partly open, to allow a circulation of air, the
young man lay half dozing, when he acci¬
dentally heard, the following conversa¬
tion, not, o£ course, intended for his cars:
“A pretty piece of work this,” said Mrs.
Corsair, who was an intensely selfish
woman. “Who is to play nurse now, I
would like to know ?”
“And to a miserable tutor, interrupted the
eqully selfish Zoo.
"I should be very glad to take charge of
the poor young man, alone among strangers
and sick,” said Blanche; “and if aunt is
willing, 1 will devote my time to him.”
"And neglect the sewing ? There is my
wrapper not finished yet." »
“Donotfear, aunt,” returned the same
sweet voice; “I will finish that also. I can
take iny sewing to his room and attend to
both ; if not able to sew when he is awake.
1 will do it.at nigh, -g.-n Ivy ,’,, e.ps 4 ^ ^
“Very Weil, do a* 'yon please; but, re¬
member, that wnrpper must be finished."
"Come, mother, don’t bother about him
any longer. The carriage watts to take us
to the concert. Come on.”
Sosaying, the unfeeling Zoe swept down
stairs, followed by her mother, while a soft
voice murmured by the invalid’s side :
“You arc not sleeping, 1 see. What shall
I do for your relief?”
“I feel quite comfortable, thank you,
except a headache, caused by the sudden
jar.”
"Let me bathe it, then.”
How soft her fingers, were ; how gentle
her touch, and what a depth of womanly
pity beamed from those large, brown
eyes.
About two weeks after the accident,
Blanche wandered once more, to her favorite
resort, and seating herself at the foot of the
descent, she was soon lost in a deep reverie,
“Tliis is a charming spot, Miss Blanche,”
said a well known voice behind her, “and I
see a favorite of yours. Now that I know
how to avoid its dangers. I also am
charmed with its deep repose and picrur
esque beauty.”
“I am glad you like it,” was the reply of
the young lady, as she blushed slightly when
he seated himself by her side. “But yours
is the only face I have ever seen when
here, and I cannot but wonder how you
discovered the spot.”
“One of my little pupils told me of it, and
that day when I fell was my first visit,
Thankful am I that you was in the habit of
coming here, else I might have died alone
and unmissed.”
“Alone, I grant, but not unmissed for
your pupils love you.”
“j would like to tell you, dear Miss
Blanche, how strongly attached I have
become to my tender nurse, and how much I
long for her to return my devoted affection.
Dearest, can you love a person occupying so
humble a position as tutor to your uncle’s
children? If you can, and if you will allow
me to present my deep love, and consent to
become my wife, it will be the delight of my
life to strive to make you happy.” Then he
drew her toward him, and their lips met.
No opposition was offered when Mr. Ham
iltdn asked the hand of Blanche Gilmore
from her uncle, all thinking that their poor
that on tlie evening of his return a large
party of friends and the select neighbors
were to assemble to bid him welcome.
This party, as it happened, was to take
place the evening before the marriage of
Blanche. Cards of invitation had been left
at Mr. Corsair’s, and, much to the surprise
and chagrin of Miss Zoe, Blanche was also
remembered.
“Just as if we wanted to introduce our
poor relations,” she said, scornfully. “I
wonder that the tutor also was not inclu
ded.”
The evening came, the rooms were
thronged, but singular to remark, the
young owner had not as yet made his
appearance. The guests were received by
his most intimate friend, Mr. and Mrs. Met
calf, and the latter, as soon as Blanche and
had been introduced, managed to draw her
on one side, ml in another moment Zoe
wondered, as he saw them leave the rooms
together.
About ln-|*n hour later all the guests
had assemble. Mr. Metcalf said:
“Ladies a •• gentlemen? Mr.BeUmont has
just arrived.V .d la a few-minutes will be
pleased i>~ -t you and introduce to all
assembled V beautiful young lady wlu* to
morrow u.ei g will become his bride. - ’
Scarcely ! 11 he done speaking when the
young man ■•ivd the room with Blanche
hanging up. his arm, her face radiant
with bapt j>
“Our h i- cor!" cried Mrs. Corsair.
.
“Imposed *" ”ied Zoe sinking in|i> a
chair,
‘ ‘lt is true, madam,’’said the young
_
man ; “ard -w let me hope to sec you all
at our wrffi J ig • --- to-morrow." ----- "
All v present except Zoe, whose
disappoit in was too great to permit her
to form on, of the wedding party.

surrendered, and put their arms, the sick
