No, no. no,.
You shall not escape me, no !
Love will not forever wail ;
Roses fade when gathered late.
Fie. for shame. Sir Malcontent,
How can time be better spent
Than in wooing? I would wed
When the air is full of bliss,
And the sunshine like a kiss.
If you’re good, I’ll grant a boon,
You shall have me, sir, in June.
Nay, nay, nay,

Distinguished Guests.
Two plainly dressed men entered a restan
rant yesterday and drawing chairs up to a
able ordered dinner. Several waiters and
the proprietor were present, but paid very
little attention to the visitors. W T hen the
.’im pr arrived the men begun conversation.
“General,” remarked one, “I was very
much pleased with the Chicago reception.”
“Yes, the demonstration was magnificent,
but I don’t believe that the Mayor should
have advised me so publicly not to accept
of a third term. If the American people
want me to be President again it i* no more
than right that I should accept of the po
Nrtion ”
"But General, ain’t you growing tired of
these receptions ?”
“I tell you, Mr Fvnrts, I am actually
tiied. But I can’t stop it. Now just so
soon as#lie people find out that I am here
will l>e a parade like a circus proces
sion. I think the best plan will be lor u«
to slip over to Hot Springs on to-morrow’s
train. By the way, Mr Kvurts, this is on
excellent restaurant. If lam elected aga ; n
it is my idea to establish a restaurant in the
White House. Just give it to some one,
you know.”
“General, don’t you think 'bis man could
run it w II?” said Mr. Evarts in an under
tone.
“Just what T was thinking about And
hese waiters. I think, would adorn it.”
•‘I say, General, I don’t see how we can
keep down an ovation here. We'd better let
things take their own couise.”
‘Yes, 1 'hink so.”
About this time they bad finished eating
The restaurant man had been paying closp
attention to the conversation, and when the
men arose and Bti rted out without having
paid for the meal, the “hash” man advanced
and asked.
‘This is General Grant, I believe?”
“Why, I knew the people would discover
my identity."
“And tilts is Secretary Evarts?”
“Well,” said Mr Evarts, “1 must confess
that you have dropped on ns.”
“General,” said the restaurant man, “I
was in your army.”
“Ah !”
“Yes, sir, and I am delighted to see you.
Don’t yon remember we were all digging a
big ditch neai Vicksburg?”
“Perfectly well."
“Don’t you remember one rainy Friday
afternoon when a man walked into your
tent and banded you two boxes of cigars ?’’
“1 remember it as though it bad only
been yesterday,” said the General, “and since
I have scanner! your features a little more
closely it strikes me that you are the man.”
“Yes. sir ;I am the man. But there is
one feature. General, that you have forgot
ten. I was a sutler, and you haven’t paid
me for them cigars yet. And dow if yon
don’t hand me over 820 I’ll have you
jammed in the city prison along with Fatty
McGinnis. Jack Ross, or any one who hap
pens to be there. Pony op.”
“I guess we’d better pay for this dinner,’’
said the Secretary, taking out two 50 cent
pieces, along with a lot of pecans aod shoe
strings.
“That’s all right.” remarked the restau
raut mßn, receiving the money. “I’ll let
you off with the 820 ”

HAMPTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER i 9, 1879.
A “Hoss-Car” Romance.
Huving finished colieeting his fares, tire
conductor of a Washington A verum horse-ear
came back to his perch on the rear p'atform
and said there wonld be no smoking allowed
on the car It seemed to delight him to say
this ; he looked as if he were a saint.
The pas«enger said be had seen people
smoke on the car before, and the conductor
said.‘•Not this car.” as he jerked the bell
strap and stock his thumb in the hack of a
Indy to support her ns she hoarded the con
veyance of civ lization.
“I didn't say Ihis car,” said the passenger,
ns he threw his Havana into the street.
“It’s nothing lo me whether a man smokes
or r.ot,” growled the conductor, "only I
catch thunder for it from the company."
Seeing that the fellow softened, and notie
ing a regretful glance creep over his fare, the
passenger concluded to engage hint in “sweet
converse” Reassuring himself that the con
ductor had no deadly weapon concealed on
his person, the cigarlcss citizen ventured :
‘ One of you fellows struck oil in Chicago
the other day.”
The conductor knit his eyebrows as if the
word “fellows” had alarmed the bile on his
liver, and then a c ked “How was that ?”
“Rich man’s daughter became fascinated
with him ; ran away from home and married
him. And it has caused quite a stir."
•Girl didn't weaken?” be asked quickly,
for the statement seemed to interest him
greatly.
“No ; she is firm."
“Do yon know what I think ?” he asked.
It would have puzzled u phrt nologist to have
gnessul what he thoogbt, or whether hp had
ever thought at all or not; hut the cit'**n
made no allusion to this, and kept the fellow
in a good mood by asking him what it was
he did think.
“I think a hoss car conductor has ns much
right to marry rich as anybody else, if he can
get the chance; don’t you T"
“Why, of course.”
“ A n' more of ns would get there if wp only
had time to devote to the girls. You see,
odder, a conductor's life don’t give him no
chance to write po’try and soft letters, or to
hang around the gates.”
The citizen ventured that the routine of
the lives of such men afforded little time for
the p'ra«ures incident to courtship.
“An’ then, when we make a mash, some
dry goods clerk will find it out an’ will (oiler
our girl an’ t;ke her home. T have noticed
that a dry goods clerk is the most jeolousest
of men, an’ specially of conductors."
“You interest me.” said the citizen.
“Yon see, we have chances of nankin’ a
mash where nobody clpe kin. We flirt on
the sly ; sometimes it takes, and sometimes it
don’t. Frinstance, I see a purty high-strung
girl on the corner, with her 6nger np. I put
op my finger and smile —this way.” [May
the Ix>rd deliver the citizen from ever seeing
such a smile as that again ]
“Kf she gives a correspondin’ smile,” he
continued, “I stop the keer, and as she gits
aboard I gently squeeze her arm as she cams
up, noticin' her face all the while to see if it
blushes ; ef it do, I know she has noticed it,
en’ then I gently prpss my thumb between
her shoulders, ostensibly to steady her, but in
reality to test b‘ r more ; cf she kind o’ tot
ters its evidence to mv mind that she is sus
ceptible ; ef not, I take it she haint no use
for me, or else she loves another. Did I get
your ticket, sir?"
The citizen had given op one ticket, but
rather than run the risk of getting into a
dispute and snapping the thread of the
charming narrative, he gave up another.
“Yes, indeed 1” said the fellow with a 6igh.
Wbat he said it for the citizen could not di
vine. It hud no earthly connection with
what he had been talking about, hot the cit
izen did not allnde lo the irrelevancy of the
remark.
“Then, when she sets down I appear in
different for a while, an’ finally venture up an’
gay ‘Fare, please.’ 1 have my voice trained,
an’ kind o’ pot a tremble on the word 'please.'
Ef she fumbles around for change it’s purty
good evidence she’s willin' to flirt. |if she
pulls out a half rase, or a case note, when
she’s got a quarter, you kio bet your boots
that she would send a ‘volcnteen’ around ef
she had the address. I give her change and
a slip without tearin’ off any ticket, for ye
eee we ain’t got onr necks greased yet on this
line, an’ she notice* that she has not been
charged for her ride. No matter how rich
her father is, or many sparks she has got on
to her dukes, there ain’t no girl but what
feels a thrili at being deadheaded. After a
while she puts up her finger agin, and I
smile—*
“Don’t stop to smile ; go right or. with the
story,” said the citizen.
“I jerk the hell-strap and help her off.
This is where I get my work in, helpin’ her
off of the keer. I can’t give the secret
A shadow crept over the fellow’s face a*
ho turned his eyes upon a mnne : on he was
passing. He shook his head and proceeded :
“I wish I didn’t have to pass that house
I remember an eppysode I had about it that
will foller me to my grave. She was as fair
as one of Ihe angels I’ve heard about. 1
commenct with her, as I have bepn fellin'
yon, never thinkir.’ that there would be any
thing in it. She alius waited for this car,
even if it was rainin’. One day she gimme a
little rosebud, and a Mercantile Library
ticket was tied on it. with her name on the
back, at! writ in her own hand, the nicest I
ever see. One day we made an engagement
to meet one nno’her down at the library.
She showed me the sknlpturin’ in Ihe room,
and told me who each one was, an’ what he
had been doin’ for e. livin’. Talk about
lamin’, there was the educatedc«t female I
ever struck. But she was buxines*. She
said she pitied mo, on’ of'eo noticed how at
tentive I was, an’she asked me if I thought
she was too good for me. I can’t tell ye all
that happened ; but it wound up in a disaster
to me and to her, poor thing.”
The citizen tore off another ticket and
handed it to the sad conductor, who put it in
bis pouch. This was fifteen cents he had
paid for one ride.
“Yes. indeed,” lie said again, having no
reference to anything as before, “you see she
wanted me to fly.asshe said Now, il there’s
any one thing I can't do, it is to flv. She
said it was jpg’ too awful to live without a
sensation. Then she told me about her lover
that had been picked out by her pn and ma,
an’ she jest despised him. She was wantin’
to do something to get even wMi her pa. I
was honest with her. I told her I had no
money ; don’t never deceive a woman about
that. It is the fust thing she will find out,
an’ ef yon’ve lied to her it seems to chill her
heart. She said that made do difference;
she would hock her sparks.”
“Do what ?’’ asked the citizen
“Soak her jems—put her diamonds into
Walker’s; don’t ye git on ? ’
The innocent citizen said he did
“Well, it w*s fixed up. We was goin’
away on a steamboat excursion together. I
wag knocked in the head jest os we was
about lo lift the golden mug to our lips.
One night she and her pa an’ ma an’ little

I would kind o’ strike the old man, I sez :

and says : ‘You’re one of those fellers that
stan’s in with coachmen to git the daughters
of wealthy people,’ says he. I told him he
was wrong, hut he wouldn’t have it. An’
he took his family off'of the keer. I never
saw her agiu.”
‘‘Did she die?” asked the citizen.
* No; ef she was dead 1 would hitch my

The citiz 'ii said he hadn’t been smoking
for the last half hour.
“I s’pose I got excited,” be said, “about
her, as Ido when I pass the house. I alius
get a little rattled about this. But it’s cured
me*of suckin’ eggs.”
“Of wbat?” asked the astounded citizen,

Capt. John U. Brain.
Among ihe arrivals here iaUapt.John C
Brain, the last prisoner of war, with whom
the Globe-Democrat correspondent had the
pleasure of a brief talk. This is not his first
visit to Texas, having been here several
years ago.
Remarking upon his former visit, (lapt.
Brnin told the following anecdote :
Having business in the small village of
Harrisburg, six mill's from Houston, on
Buffalo bayou, Capt. Brain visiled the pTnce.
In the course of his stay lie observed u mid
dle-aged gentleman, and, as it afterward
turned out, the proprietor of a saw mill in
the village, intently and curiously staring at
him. Finally, corning np to thp ex-Gonled
ernte commander, the man remarked :
“I think I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
“Very likely," answered Brain, “I’ve been
in a good nanny parts of the country."
‘Didn’t you capture the United States
mail steamship Roanoke. off the Islam! of
Cuba, in 1864?"
“Yes."
“That’s where I sow you. I was one of
your prisoners, but 1 guess you’ve forgotten
me.”
‘ Oh, I don’t know," replied Brain, look
ing at his former prisoner closely.
“Do you remember when the ship was
taken and yon came into the catiin, and one
of the passengers remarked, seeing the Con
federate flap, ‘That looks kmder like a rebel
flag ?’"
Capt. Brain recalled the incident with a
smile.
“I am the man and prisoner.”
It waa, indeed, a strange meeting—away
off here to the backwoods of Texas—of the
rebel naval commander and his quondam
prisoner.
Capt. Brain delights to talk over the ex
ploits, and laughs at some of the incidents.
According to an account from his own lips
It was in the early fall of 1864, when the
great war was drawing to a close, that Brain
received orders from the Confederate Navy
Department at Richmond to go to Cuba.
Under his command were five officers and
four seamen, disguised as civilians, of course,
and showing none of the insignia of the rebel
service. Repairing to Havana, Capt. Brain
and his disguised myrmidons took passage
on the Roanoke. This was oo the 29'h of
September, 1864. Totally unaware of the
class or intention of the passengers lie had
od board, the captain of the Roanoke steamed
out of the harbor into the gulf, doubtless
calculating on a pleasant voyage. Ooward
the steamship plowed the waves of the golf,
and the rebel commander and his under offi
cers quietly awaited the moment ot action
and of putting their plans into execution.
At midnight, by a enddeo coup d'etat, the
rebel crew found themselves in possession of
the ship, and its crew, consisting of fifty
three men and forty-six passengers, prison
ers of Copt. Brain. No resistance was
offered except by the ship’s carpenter, who
was killed. It was just after the capture
tbut Capt. Brain entered the cabin with Ihe
Confederate colors in his hand, and he was
met by the Harrisburg auw-mill muu.
“I kinder guess that’* a rebel flag, ain’t it,
Captain t” said he.
“You never were more mistaken io your
Jife, sir ; that’s a Confederate flag," replied
the captor of the ves«cl.
The passenger was at the same time noti
fied that such remarks were not io particular
demind, and so he “shut up.” s -^
The retiel commander soou disposed of the
passengers, and then be turned his attention
to the crew. He laid the case before them,
and, after informing them be waa dow com
mander of the rhip, and they his prisoner*,
them the choice either to wear
iron* in the black bold of the ship—its prison
—or to keep their places undisturbed, and
get one month’s pay as soon as they made
port. To this they assented, to a man, say
ing : “Bejabers we'd joost as soon wurrack
for yez as any men else, as long as we get
the pay.” The bargain was struck, and they
resumed Ibeir various duties. Capt. Braio
relates with great satisfaction bow he ran
down to the Islaod of Bermuda, mf intgnWm
being to coal the Roanoke ; but in Ihflyhe
►was mistaken, aud found that it could
be done. It was, therefore, resobred to burn
her. Brain gave orders, and the Roan&e
steamed around the island several

then landed his men and pri-oners, umj

Fishing on Sunday.
It whs a delightful fiord <y afternoon.
Sabbath-school whs cut, and tbe Superin
tendent took a stroll up tbe canal. The
gras-hopper* wete tuning somersault* in the
hgh grass, their last performance for the
season, and the emerald vested katydids
warbled from their velvety coverts under tbe
mu lien leaves. When he got to the aqueduct
over Fall crei k, where the water, escaping
through the time-riven timber, joins tbe
fl md below, uinst musical in their meeting,
he found u wicked acquaintance, with a line
dangling in the water. He was abont to
frame a reproof for the Sabbath breaker
when, goodness gmcii.ua. what a bite! An
other, and a bass, a per'ect beau'y, was
fl uucing over the giccn grass,
“Wbat sort of Bait are you using, Jim?”
(Tbe reproof whs postponed )
“Hoppers," was tbe reply, as the line, re
baited, slid into tbestieuni.
He fumbled nervously in bis vtst pocket
Htid found he had book and lina. but
Jim had another bite, and another three
quarter pound buss wus thrown upon tbe
bunk.
'Whfre do you get your hail ?" he a«ked.
“Oh, those boys ’ll ketch ’em for you."
“You don’t say go J"
The line came out of his pocket, the book
wus baited, aud a three- quarter pounder wus
gasping on tbe shore. Another, and then
another! Never was such luck. Tbe
Superintendent was excited. “Hurry up
with the grasshoppers."
“Please, Mr. C., here’s a hopper,” piped a
small boy.
Tbe Superintendent looked down. The
eyes of the angler and his helper met. It
wus a crowning mercy be didn't tumble into
