Love, How Wonderful. —t — - BY SADIB. “And ao Charles, you are wanting my little Edith, the light aud sun shine of our home.” Yes, Mr. Bertram; the time has expired, and I come with an anxious heart to receive your answer." IV hioh, is my dear boy, yes. You cannot realize how hard it is for a patent to say this. To give unto the keeping of another a daughter just verging into womanhood, to have nursed her lrom infancy, and loved her with that love which only a ns* rent can feel, and then to know that another’s claim is superior to their’s ; ah! Charles, it is hard; yeti know that sooner or later, it must come; and there is no man living to whom I would mon willingly relinquish my darling than yourself. You are a good, honest, sober young man—(his is all I ask; your name is good— your money I care not for. I was raised in the days when happiness was considered more valuable than wealth." “ f Lank you, Mr. Bertram, for your kindness; lam glad to know you have such an opinion of me. and can assure you, I will do all in my power to promote your daughter’s happiness. And now, Mr. Bertram, will you cou sent to an early union ?” “No, Charles, I cannot do this; let us have her a few months longer, please.’’ “It shall be as you wish; the idea that she will one day be mine—all mine—will keep me alive, I Buppose ( for several months.” And wishing him a pleasantgood morning, Charles hastened to bear the glad tidings to his betrothed. Together they thank ed God for His kindness, talked of the great happiness in store for them, and laid their plans for the future.— Rapidly the days passed by, now that all was settled; it seemed that their happiness was complete, and why should it not be? To know that there is someone that cares more for us than any one else, is enough to make of this vile and sinful world, a very Eden. Suddenly, without the least warning, came the crash of 18—; among the failures, was that of Charles A. Durant. As an honest man should, he gave up everything, and came out penniless. He then went to his beloved, and offered to release her from the engagement, but, like a true and noble woman, ■he stood by him in his troubles as I well as in his palmly days; she told him they might not then be able to ' marry, but they would wait patiently ■ and perhaps after a while he could build up his business, and then they could realize all of their bright dreams. For a tiina he bore his troulpes brnfe ly, hut as the cloud* grew darker, lie lost all h.ipe, the tempter came, the wine-glass wa* offered, and in one of his weak moments, he diaitied it ot ,its contents. Oli 1 fatal moment, that caeta Might upon so rnauy lives.— This step over, and the others were rapidly made, a few weeks from this time, found him a drunkard, a gam ' bier, and everything else that was Vile at and wicked. His parents were oorne down with sorrow; his betrothed— the pen refuses to eipose her misery to stranger eyes; the city was star tled at the announcement of his downfall, lie h'td been an 0 101, such i a high-minded, noble young roan. Only this much more to prove how weak is human fl*-sh. Elith with iho bereaved parents, prayed continually for tbereiu'n ol the prodigal son. But what good will the prayers of others do, if we refuse to humble our selves before the.throne of grace? He still visited our heroine, as "ften ns before, and *he worked faithfully to bring about a reformation, bat her tear*, and entroaties ware of no avail; the Evil one’s grasp was too stroug. Ft are time, she was very patient, and as lively as could be especred: but ■he gradually withdrew from soeitty, became pale,lest Injerest iu surround ingedyecta, aad in a few months, was ■ mere shadow of her former se.l; her father wotiied it ail but thought *it would be useless to speak. He eipreesed a desire to have her return to x ciety ; she hat} always been very obedient, so he was lathef surprised, when she said: “IL, my fatbsr, you are asking too uuoh of me, you know nothing of woman’s love, when ittbe I cineete, the world, without ie DAWSON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 28 1878. object upon which it U bestowed is to usa blank. What car* 1 1 lor the society of these vain gaudy but erfles, when I know that Charlie is—oh! God forgive! dying! dying! dy ngf at the wine-table? Oh! father, deat, don’t be aogty, but I cannot go. back." Could any father, insist altar this? M•, metl inki not. ! One day so-.n after this, as ha wai going home to dinner, he mot Charlie coming from there, veiy much intoxi cated. On his arrival he went im mediately to !>is daughter's room, when he entered she was sitting neat 1 a udw, -her head resting in her ha ode: —Aisa door opened so quietly, !<e did not notice it, end the father hud walked across the room,and raised her head, ere she was aware of bis pie.-eiicc. What a dait went to the kind patent’s he.ut, when he saw the teat-drops glistening in her eyes and on the pale and sunken cheek. Wi ping tin hi off, he look a seat beside her and clasped his aims around hei, saying as he dil S", “Weeping i gain, my child lor that scamp; you don’t know how it pains me,inv darling,to see you wasting away your life upon such a wretcu. Ua.-t him off, my Edith, and become joui dear, sweet self agiin. "Do you not kuow iny father, that I love Lim, aye, and at this mo ment i hat love is • > strong thatH wcu'd give my very life, if by so doing I could save him. To you it seems M woutl be an easy matter to OAst hmi off. What does ‘he fl iwer become without the sunshine? first pals and delicate, then fades away altogether. Charlie is the sunstiue ot my life, though hut a leeh.e ray, were it withdrawn I would retu>n to our mother Both.” “Pshaw ! my child, this is nouseuse; you must cheer up, you need society, ami by-the-way, I have an invitation here to a bill to he given hy my Irieud, Mr R-id, and 1 am anxious to have you attend, don’t shake y ur head, Elith, it mud be; he is quite an intiruae fiiend ot mine, and 1 do not wish his invitation slignted. Reiueuioer, my daughter, this is the ii st requns* I hive made of you in a long wmie; will you grant it.” After a few moment’s hesitation she replied : “yes my finer 1 will go, but please, after this, do not ssk me again. I am unlia; py, ami I am afraid I will ma ! te those around me in ” “I shall depend upon my child/’ said he, and bending over he kissed the quiveting lips and left the room. The night cf the ball arrived. Ac cording to promise, Edith atten ed. As the evening was drawing to a close Mr. Dnvatil, father of out hero, ap peared at the door of the dancing ball. Ho eeetned to be looking tor someone, so Edith walked up and a-ked if she could be of any assist ance. “Yes,” said he. my child, “I am here lor you; my w fe is very id ; she is anxious to sea our eon, and my words have no effect upon h.m, so I have come for you; wdi you go.’ “Certainly Mr. Duvaul,” and excus ing herelf from her partner, she ful- lowed the old man down stairs and out into the street where they found a carriage waiting for them. They took their seats and were driven rap | idly onward, she knew not wherrf. i But few words were spoken until th< y stopped, and on looking out, Edith sow they were iu front of a large drinking saloon. "Is this the place;” she said, turning to her companion. ‘‘Yes, my child, a dying motner wishes ! tiy once more to save her eon front the bottomli ss pit, will yon go in, or are your uervea too weak?” “J will go in,” and throwing aside bar wraps, she stepped out, and walked bravely in, the old man following. The sight that met her eyes was enough to sick en the soul of any one, Arounl a card-table sat a halfdosen young men, upon it were several bottles, aud just as she entered, Charlie raised a well filled goblet to his lips and ere she could reach him, it was upon the ta ble, empty! fine walked up to him, and laying, her hand upon his shoul- der said: “Charlie, doyeu refue to answer a dying mother’s call!” He looked up, aud even them bis cou tcienoe smote him tor having been the eause of her entering such a place.'— There she stood, clad in a robs of white velvet, with ornaments of pearl#, the very personification of purity and innocence. “I will go with you, Ed ith,” and throwing down the cards he etsggered out That night the moth i et’s spirit winged its flight to n fret iaai. Cheriie oniy arrived in time to hear a short prayer from tier lips, and rao a iva her blessing. For awhile he left his former associates, quit his bad habits, and all rejoiced over the great change. Edith was again light hearted and free. The happy oouple wished the oereraony performed at ones, but Mr. Bertram, with bis wise old head, said they w mid wait awhile, and see how long this goodness would continue. They both agree! to this, thinking, of course, he would be firm, but when the tempter has once laid his hands on a person, he does Dot re- linquish In in without a very g'eat rtruggle. Each day, Charlie became weaker and weaker, until at last he give way altogether, and the fallen angels rejoiced over another that had j lined th-dr band. This shock was a great one to poor Elith; one that shook reason to it? veiy foundation, but ber mind was strong; she stood the test, and came foith a sane wo man, but still the same faithfu', lov ing one. Why is it I wonder tuat women love so foolishly? When the plant has once taken root in her hesrt, it is almost an impossibility to crush it out. No amount of wickedness or disrespect will kill it, or even causo it to wither for a time. At last he grew so bed, Mr. B rtrnu refused to let him visit the house or allow Edith to hold aDy ccminunicaiicn With him whatever. Heaits do not b suk they only bleed, just so with hers Out day, not long after their separation, sbo went out for a walk. Soon after leaving home, he joined her, as near ly sober as he had been lor They wandered on towards the river and fiuall y seated themselves on its banks. Here they conversed for sine time, oniy a p-rt of tneir conver sation we will repeat. It seems he was begging her to forsake Dome, friend-, nnd all, to become his wife, and to lira she replied: “No, Cnar he, I cannot, though I love you; 1 re fuse to giant this reques% my parents are kind-hearted, but they would nev er ieient were l to disobey them so much as all this, and it would be a living death for me to know I could never cross their thieshbold again.” " I’heD, Elith, suppose we end it all here; see toe wafers are inviting us. We cannot be happy separated, end perfiap- I will never reform, (bid knows I have tried faithfully, but laui oh I to W6ak. They cannot prevent our dying together, my darling ao let us any farewell to this world of troub le and seek our rest.” When he be gan speakiug she lea ed Iter head on her hands, and woeo he finished u.cre- ly held outone,jacking lor a pencil, and paper. He gave them to her, she wrote a few lines, folded the paper directed to her fa’hor, laid it on the bank, then rose saving as die did ; “lunll doit Chnrlie I by this acvjl will prove to you How deep.

Hill, Harris and McDonald, of Indi ans, discussing the siuiaiiou aud pros pects ot the Democratic paity. Hill, who is anxious beyond taeasure to convince everybody that he wa* si w y* iu favor ot the silver bill with the Senate amendments, was bewail ing the decadeuoe ot Ameiican poli tics He was inclined to be ieve that our country had passed ttie Zenith of its |uo*p*rity, nml was on tl.e high road to decay aud death. “When a people aie inseurible to their own de basement,” said the bri liaut Geuigian, ‘‘their is little bopo for them.” The chief sign ot decadence iu Beu il'.i’s eye wa* the fact that the people had submitted quietly to tl.e tenancy of a President who was elect and. Sana tor Harris took up stiong oudg ds in behalf of the integrity of the Ameri can freeman. He contended that ths end of carpet-hag rule was due not alone to the repu 'iatn.n of that rule hy the South, as Hill contended, but to a widespread change of sentiment at the North, which was evinc'd by the steady increase of Northern Dem ocratic Senators in the Senate, and try the growth ofa public sentimeut which hao made it impossible for a North ern President to longer sustain and advocate the (kilicv of lioidiug the S- nth as conqtiored provinces. Then the conversation drifted on to finance, aid Hiil, Harr.a sad Mcdon ald all aqreed that the silver toil would prove a national blessing if it should allay the agitation of the times and prove a bulwark against the fanatic ism which seeks to array labor against capital. One opitriou on which tney agreed struck me wi'h groat force, v:z; That the great danger tit the Democratic party was that, before 1880, the Republican party w-ould tall to p eces of its owe rottenness, and that the Demoaiatic party, instead if being arrayed against the old enemy which it has so nearly beaten, would t>e called upon to lace anew and fresh antagonist in the shape of party, led um by demsgogusa. who would seek to array ialur agt.insi eahit.il for moti.es ofpeisonal gam.

As the feet express on the Lake Shore stop(ed at Berea yest rday to take water the passengers saw in the •orner of a rail fence, sunning itseif, a large snake. When the engineer blew off a stream of biasing, hot steam tho snake snddenly coiled itself up ee if to jump at thebrakeman, who stood with his back toward the reptile. Col. Robert Downes, who was iu the par lor car, saw the dangerous position of the hrnkoroan, and with a cool prer ence of mind leaped from the car, grasped a fence rail and proceeded to striks a: the snake. By this time the ladies in the car were screaming and the other male passengeis had jumped out to he p the Colonel. The snake dodged Col. Downes's first blow by dipping its head, and then suddenly, to ti e horror of every one, sprang from it* coil, head foremost, upon the platform of the oar, nn.i, the door being open, glided with fiery eyes and darting tongue straight into the centre of rhe car. Several ladies nearly fainted, and the screams of tho frightened passengers brought Suprintendent Newell, who had a revolver, from the rear car. Mr. Newell is a good shot, having served through the Mexican war; hut the tcryatns of the lady passen gers sc' Dind to unuerve him, Hud Ilia first shot missed the 6tiake, which' now cubed itself up, with head erect, ready to spring iu among a half fainting group of ladies. Luckily, as soon as Mr Newell fir ed, and before the snake could make a deadly spring, Mr. Augustus Schell of New Yotk drew a revolver and shot ths BS'fks dead.
