THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY DECEMBER 1, 1SS5.-TWELVE PAGES.
At tho Look.
Qodey’s Lady’s Book.
••Lock, ho! lock!” the rcwers cry, as up the river
they float;
Open))i>ur K&tt s. oh, nut brown maid, for my lady’s
pleasure boat;
Tnm your windlass, open the sluice, and let tho
waters rise.
My littlo lady will rest awbUe and view the sunset
skies.
Fair she is as you are dark, oh, maid of the sun*
burnt skin.
She is like the lilies that toil not, and neither do
they spin;
Her slender feet and her languid hands have a high
born grace you see,
And even her pug conducts himself like a pug of
high degree.
Do your eves behold her wistfully, poor toiler by
the gate.
Whose cm i.v •rad must still be won by labor early
and late?
Do not murmur, remember this: that honest toil is
blest.
And he that works most faithfully has earned his
sweetest rest
Perhaps, who knows, my lady’s eyes look wistfully
at you.
Heedless of roughened fingers, or foot in clumsy
shoe;
The world she moves in covers ill deeds with rich
disguise.
Perhaps if the hidden secrets of both hearts could
be told.
Too would not change with my lady for all her rank
and gold;
Ton would pity the lovely creature in all her silk
attire.
And thank the Lord for the sweetness of love at
your desire.
Por here is the little sister that clings about your
neck,
So loving always, and gentle, ready to run at your
beck;
And a step sway from the river rises the busy mill,
Where for your sake, oh, nut-brown maiden, some
body works with a will.
Turn your windlass; open the sluice; the waters rise
amain;
My lady's dog and my lady step Into the boat again;
She smiles as her lover greets tier; who knows if the
smile is true?
But the oan flash iu the sunlight, and they vanish
from your view.
80 let the wistful longing vanish from heart and
eyes.
And look what a golden glory over the river lies!
Sky and water together equally overspread
With a royal blending or color, gold and purple and
red.
Gold and purple and scarlet are blossoming too at
your feet,
Thorny crown of the thistle, primrose yellow and
sweet,
Flaming cone of the sumac, yarrow and golden rod.
And a splendor of silken tassels from the milkweed’s
bursting pod.
Bound them, seeking for plunder, bums a belated
bee,
And a robin twitters a sleepy song In yonder maple
tree;
Soon the day’s toll will be over, then shut the gates
for the night:
Somebody waits to walk with you in the golden
evening light.
Herein let your heart be thankful; the sturdy
strength of your hand.
With love to sweeten your labor, is better than gold
or laud:
And better than all the truth in which meek souls
find rest
That God, who gives each his portion, knows what
for each is best
CAPTAIN MARVIN’S WOOING.
A SELECTED STOUT.
Tho enrions minded used some yews sgo
to search for the quaint inscription that
could be traced upon a monldy stone in the
ancient burying ground in old Lyme Regia,
known in these later years aa Lyme. 'The
memorial, when found, conld he 'deciphered
thus:
Thu Deacon aged M, U freed on earth from Mnrliig:
May for a crown no longer wait: Lyme'. Cantata
Renold Kanin.
Yet according to the tale that mothers
told daughters for many yean more than a
hundred, Capt. Marvin found a crown
whose gentle, blue-eyed wearer ruled him
and bis imperious will with the peaceful
aceutre of love; and thia is the tradition:
There were the sounds of breaking
branches and the tread of feet that seemed
heavily weighted, one afternoon of early
September in the year 1700. These noises
ademed to be oaused hv some one laboring
severely just within tho wilderness that
stretched far bock into Connecticut; colony
from the shore of the Sound. Tito man
who heard then ominous sounds peeped
cautiously around for an instant, and then
started with wonder upon what was revealed
He saw coming from the woods
another man, half carrying on hi* shoul
der*, half dragging, and straining at every
mnscle with the weight, a grout black thing
that seemed the full size of a well-grown
brief time i
"Ti* Renold," said the man, '‘and ho
hath n bear.” Then he went up to the
hunter.
"A boor. The bear, ltenold. The bruto
that baa given us so much concern. Tia a
monster."
The hunter loosed his hold, and panting
with exertion, seated himself upon a stone,
lie was a young man, and though tho blood
of the beuat baa stained his face so that
the color almost masked his countenance,
yet the dark and resolute eyes, the llrm-set
jaw, and the defiant manner of the man,
exhausted ss he wss, caused the other to
look with admiration upon him rather than
upon his prize.
" Tit a monster, Renold. You did not
fight it all alone?"
••Why not? Shall a strong man with
blunderboaa and knife fear a brute?”
“Many an armed man has been killed by
such as this one.”
“Bah! None hut babes and sucklings.
There, I am rested now. Twas more difll- ing, and from
cult to fetch him here than to kill him. Leo seated fir
You stay here with him. Here, here, my
gun and knife. I go for help to bring him
to the settlement.”
“Ah, but, Renold, perhaps Ids mate "
“Art fearful of a dead brute? Yet I slew
him stone. Truly I did. I lie not."
“I know you do not lie. Your communi
cation is always yea, yes, and nay, nay.”
“Fear nothing, for I will soon be bock.
The young man, without another word,
went quickly down the highway, a mile per
haps, until he stopped before a clumsy,
rough-burred gate set iu the stone wall.
Then he strode across s meadow, heavy
with aftermath, until he reached u well
sweep, whose bucket swung high in the
sir. With the strengtbof one ainevry wrist,
he ponred the water, cool as a winter spring,
upon his head, and with the other hand
most energetically bathed his neck and face
till the akin was almost as ruddy os the
stains his late slsughter'left upon him.
•There,” said he st length, “water for
strong men, milk for babes, and rum for
the weak and fooli/h.” Then, as he was
about to start again, heatupped in listening
attitude.
“What's that I hear? Thump, thump.
Ah, '(is Betty, at her loom. I'll speak to
her."
lie went over the slope whereon the well
was and just beyond came upon a farm
house whose lean-to roof was pitched
against the little hill, so that in coining
down he might have walked right up the
roof to the ndge piece. He turned aside,
however, ami stood upon the kitchen door
sill, and then he saw the maid at her loom,
thongh she aaw him not. It seemed to
please this strong man to look upon her, or
that two long and truly braided braids of
hair huug far below her waist, so that, as
she Bat there at the loom, the ends of them
seemed to rest upon the floor. That sight
pleased him too.
Soon he spoke, but the shuttle and the
loom made a louder noise than he, so he
advanced and touched her. She was not
startled, thinking some inmate of the house
had summoned her. But when she saw
this strong man looking down upon her she
was confused nn instant, with a pleasing
confusion, and then she rose and greeted
him.
“Renold, you spoke not. 'Twas not
seemly thus to startle me.”
“I spoke. You heard not. Truly I did."
“Why, what's happened you? S.e, your
garments are rent, and here, why, here
there's blood, Renold, and there are half-
washed stains upon your cheeks. Has there
been trouble with the Indians? Are you
hurt?"
“ 'Tis nothing. I, this morning, met the
bear that's made havoc here, and I killed
him."
“You, alone?”
“Why not alone?"
"Went you alone out to seek him?"
“Yes, at dawn."
“ 'Twas foolish bravery. And you had a
struggle?”
“nears are not slaughtered like sheep,
unyieldingly. I gave him my musket flint
and he came at me and I gave him my knifo
at the heart: But, mistress, you've been
busy. Wovc you this homespun this morn
ing?”
"Yes. Truly I did.”
“ Tis a fine piece. There are no swifter
nor truer fingers in all this colony than
yours. What aro you doing now?”
She had busied about and now brought
him bread and cheese and great brown nnt
cakes, and she said:
“You have eaten nothing. That I know.
Eat this and I will bring you milk.”
“You are a thoughtful maid, but bring no
milk; water for such as L”
As ho began to eat she saw that the sleeve
on his right arm was badly rent. She saw
more, and with a little exclamation, grasped
his arm.
“You're hurt, Renold. The bear has bit
ten you. See, the wound bleeds.”
“Oh, 'tis only a scratch by his claws.
Let be. Let he, I say.”
"Bnt I will not let be. Sit here.”
"Will not! None say so me."
"Nevertheless I say it. Sit there and let
me stunch the flow.”
He looked cnriously upon her, she glanc
ing bock, half pleading, half commanding,
nnd to his great amazement he found that
he obeyed her. She soon had the sleeve
rolled and then she found two long deep
scratches from the elbow to the wrist. She
bathod them gently, and ns she did so lie
wondered how these small gentle hands of
hers could hnve so much of firmness in their
touch, lie smiled as ho so thought, and she
knew it.
“You smile. Yet I know you suffer. Do
I btmgle so that you find mirth in my mo-
tions? R
“No, Betty. Twas for something else I
smiled, if 1 did smile. I did think. Here
this little maid hath me in her poa-er; yet
with my thumb and finger, thus, I might
crush yon, so slight nnd tender are you.
"In my power?” said the maid, ’inquir
ingly, as site bonnd a linen bondage on the
wound.
“Aye. You compelled me to obey you.”
"Why not? Drove men like you are worth
the effort of compelling.”
“Hey, there, iistty. I understand your
philosophy not, but somehow I am content.
Tis not n displeasing bondage for the mo
ment, and then somehow I did feel heal
ing in the touch of your fingers, so soft
are they."
The girl laughed gently.
“Betty, do you compel young Matthew
to do your bidding?"
“Him I neither eontnel nor permit."
“Yet I here he is inclined to you.”
“Is hei”
“Ye*. 80 I have perceived, He ia a well-
favored lad. Betty, and a fine wooer, I
trow."
“What know you of wooing? They do
say yon have sworn it, neither to woo nor
wed, for you will acknowledge not mis
tress.”
“They say rightly, Betty. That is my
firm resolve, and I am never shaken in my
resolution. Bnt Matthew hath resolved to
win yon."
“Hath he? That is your firm opinion?"
“Would you not favor him a trifle?”
“Ia it your concern? Toll me. Is he
strong and brave, and very firm?"
“Why shall I toll you?"
“That I may knew whether to favor him
or not. None but the atrong and brave and
Ann, I think, would find favor in my eyea."
“That is well, Betty. Be steadfast to
that.”
“So I shall. Of that he well assured.”
She said this with lowered tones and gently
bended head, her cheeks snffnsing, but the
strong man thought she was then greatly
absorbed with her occupation over his
wound.
“I must Uaate now," laid he at length.
“I must go to the acttlement for help to
bring the brute, for he is very heavy.
Come. Let me finish my bread und
cheese."
“You should not walk so far. You should
giro the wonnd some chance to heaL”
“But I am going.”
"No. I will not snffer it"
“You will not? You?" He laughed al
most contemptuously.
She said no more, but when his eyes
were not upon her she simply withdrew. A
later he heard a horse approach-
the window he saw Betty
flrmly on a sheep's pelt that
‘ vith ner * "
thank yon, Renold.“
He turned, surprised, and for a moment
looked down in silence upon her, his body
towering great and mighty above her Blen
der. graceful figure.
•'You carno so stilly," he said at length.
“As you came when last I saw you.''
“Would you try to frighten me, child?"
“Nay, no one ever made you know what
fear was, ltenold. Then how conld I? Yet
perhaps you fear me."
“Why say you that?"
“You used to come once in a while to see
my father. Now you come not at all. You
may come, ltenold. I will leave the room
to you if I alarm you."
“’Twas in my heart to come, but in my
resolution to come not; so I came not."
“Why, Renold?"
“Truly, I know not. 'Tis pain to keep
away, yet L will not come.”
“How are your wounds, Renold?”
“Well, thanks to you. Sometimes I seem
to feel your touch upon my arm. Tis
pleasant. Bnt I must go now, Betty.”
'Whither, Uenold?"
To capture a rascally Indian, a danger
ous fellow, who doth terrify our people, and
they fear him. But I will ‘take him, or he
will take my scalp."
She put lier bucket down nnd came for
ward, laying her hand upon his arm, and
looked upon him pleadingly,
"Go you alone, Renold?”
“Aye, why not?”
“ ’Tis very brave, I know, but ’tis dan
gerous. Do not go alone. ”
“But I will. The Lord hath commanded
me to capture him."
“But not alone. You shall not go alone.
“I shall not. Humph! who will prevail
against me?”
"I will. Come, Renold, promise me to
call your company nnd select from them
some sturdy men; then I will let you go."
“That is nonsense. Come, delay me not
He moved a bit, but the little maid stood
quickly light in his path, tfting her bluo
eyes to his.
“You shall not go alone. I—we—cannot
suffer yon to be foolhardy. All know your
bravery. Yon need not this exploit to
prove it."
“Let me pass, Betty.”
"I will not."
He looked upon her curiously. With one
motion of his powerful arm ho could have
overcome her, hat he fultered. Then he
sank
“I would I had not met you.”
"Why, ltenold?"

hate it, yet I like it. Truly 1 do. I lie not,
Betty. And there’s the mystery of it. I
hate it, yet I like. Come, it shall be as you
say. I will take companions.”
“Then I will leave you. You never fail
to keep your promise.”
When next she snw him, ho was returning
with a enptivo, a strong and treacherous
savage, whom the companions said the Cap
tain had mastered single-handed.
Then many weeks passed till it was the
dead of winter, nndsho knew that ho avoid
ed her. One Sunday, after service, he
found her, by chance as it seemed, right in
his path,

Yet strange it is, ’tis pleasurable. Truly it
is. I lie not unto myself. ’Tis pleasumblo.
I know not the mystery of it. And when
she struggled to free herself, and I did per-
ceivo her soft touch, with so much of
strength withal, I tingled, truly I did, to
my finger tips; nor was it painful; and when
in tho strugglo her head did rest hen on my
chest for an instant, I knew not myself at
all, but 1 was unknown and pliant us a vine.
Yet I did like it. Truly I did, though so
slight a thing os she I conld hnvo grasped
her in my big fist, thus, and crushed—no,
had I her in this bond, I trow, had she
wished it, my fingers would have been pow
erless.”
Then the strong man mused and was per
plexed with fascinating perplexi‘*\ Then
when the bedtime came he read Ll. Bible,
read tho story of Ruth again, and then re
peated his evening prayer.
Suddenly ho arose from his knees, hi“
face aglow with excite nte i‘, “The Lord hath
instructed me! The Lord hath instructed
me!" ho said. “It shall be dono to-morrow!"
And with that determination he slept peace
fully.
Next morning an hour after sunrise, while
Betty Lee sat at her loom, weaving busily,
she heard some one calling, “Betty! Betty
Leo!"
There at the gate, in full uniform, with
cockaded hat and a sword at his belt, and
astride his homo, high-spirited as himself,
she saw the valiant Gupt, Marvin.
"Como hero, Botty, I have a communica
tion to make,” said he.
Seo observed him now, going close betide
the horse and lookingupto that mighty Cap
tain with inquiring glance.
He took his hat from his head, and bend
ing to her, said; “Betty Lee, the Lord hath
commanded me to marry yon. ”
She searched his eyes nu instant and saw
the truth in them; then, the rich color ting
ing her cheeks, her eyes now downcast, sue
hesitated a brief moment nnd then in low
but clear tones said gently: “The Lord’s
will be done, Renold.”
He quickly leaped to tho ground, and,
putting both hands beneath her shoulders,
lifted her lightly till her lips met his, and
then, still holding her thus suspended,
said: “We shall bo called in church the next
Lord’s day, Betty."
"Your will is mine hereafter,” she
answered gently, and then with n smile
added, • ’but.put me on tho earth again,
Renold."
“Your word is low to mo, Betty, I obey.”
He set hor gently down again, and then,
smiling, said: “Now understand I why I
have been like a reed in tho wind before
your wishes. But 'tis very sweet submis
sion, Betty. Truly it is, and will bo while
I live.”
And the tradition runs that though he
became a man of greatnuthority, yet he said
truly then that her majesty would com- ... |H

pertly parted and a nancy eutile in her blue
eye*, she .aid:
•'Kent you there, Renotil, till I return. 1
am going to the settlement for you," and
with a word to the nure she flew away.
“That maid bath Hiiirit,” minted the dis
comfited Captain, “slight though she be,
and ahe rides her mare a* no woman ever
rode. But what? What am 1? Here I am
again overpowered by her. I slew a fero-
ctoua beast this morning, and yet this little
child restrains me. Tis strange, but 'tis
rather pleasing to be commanded by her.
I do not seem to rebel. But no more of
that to-day, no more.”
When the fair Betty came slowly riding
back a half hour later, she looked demurely
upon him with her blue eyes as he put out
his hand for a stepping atone, and thus on
one hand bore her like a trifle from the
aaildle to the ground.
“The men will come at once,” ahe said.
He made no reply, but led her mare to the
ahed, and then strode awry with mighty
steps, aud when she aaw him later be waa
with imperious tones commanding the men
to carry a bear'a haunch to th. old fort at
Haybrook Point, and the men obeyed him,
too.
For many daya Betty aaw Renold no
more, except in his solitary sect at the
meeting house upon the Lonl’e day. But
one day ahe perceived him, from her cham
ber window making hie way toward the
well, that be might drink. Very demurely
Betty threw a hood over her fair head, and
with a bucket atd downcast eyea went to
the well henelf. He bad the backet to his
lips and heard her not, so that ahe stood
within hand's reach of him, ha not know
ing iL Whan ha lowered the bucket she
spoke.
“You will fill it again for me, and I will
The Lord be with you, Betty," he said,
nnd then passed on.
“Renold! Renold!" slio called, gently.
“You spoke, Betty?”
“My father ia ill, and desires above all
things to see you. Will you not come to
night? You will find him alone.
“If 'tia to see him, so be it, Botty. > ,’
When on tliat evening ho had spent nn
hour with Father Lee, the old man stud,
'Renold. the mud hath a sweet voice, and
n the Lord's day night she rends the Scrip
ture to me. Stay yon and hear her."
Then Capt Marvin, much as he wished
to go, wished more to Btny, and while thus
struggling with himself in unaccustomed
hesitancy, the father called tho girl. 'She
came, jnst conrteseylng with indifference
that pained Renold. Then when her father
asked her to read ahe took the grent Bible
in her lap, bent her fair bead over ita pages,
and begun in soft bnt clearest tones to rend
the tale of Until. Aa ahe rend on, Copt
Marvin forgot himself and all nave this
sacred tale so sweetly and effectively re
peated bv the gentle maid. She paused not
till slio had llnishtd. Then she rose, bade
them good night, and was about to go.
'Stay, Dotty/’he said. “Let mo thank
you. Never was sweeter romance written,
but nevor before know I that till now."
“ Tut indeed a beautiful tale,” she said,
“but 1 a. most wonder that you liked it.
There are others iu the Word more to your
liking."
“What others?”
“Joshiiu, for instance, the mighty war
rior.”
“Aye, bnt I want a strong man to read
that.’'
"Who but younolt should rend it then?"
“Would you like me to do so?"
“Greatly.”
So he took up tho Bible and read with
strong, resonant voice of Joshua’s mighty
deeds.
"I thank you, Renold. Never before re
alized I the half of Joshua’s valor. I think
he must have been some shat like unto you,
ltenold, and now, good night."
“Stay, Betty. The honr is early yet.”
“Nay, I think ’tia well I bid yon good,
night.’’
She had opened the door, behind which
were nlrnipt oaken stairs that led almost
perpendicularly to her littlo chamber nnder
the rafters, ana with one foot on the lowest
slop, she turned hor head, looking over her
shoulder to say good night.
“No, bat you must not go,” said he, and
he arose and went to detain her, seizing her
by the hand. Then for an instant the maid
struggled, and somehow by chance it seem
ed, in tho duration of that struggle the maid
became embraced by bin strong arm, so that
he perceived the exceeding supplenesaof
her f light figure; and as her fair head for
the time of one breath rented upon his
broad chest, and he ceught the glance, half
modest, half amused, from her uplifted
eyea, then the strength he gloried in seemed
to depart from him, and the maid, slipping
cracef ally, quickly from his detaining grasp,
fled np the stairway.
The strong man stood there a moment
like one bewildered, and then he heard the
father laughing heartily.
“Captain," stid the old man, “with all
yonr strength the girl seems stronger than
you."
•Truly, ahe did give me the alip. My
hood is in a whirl, and my heart doth beat.
What strange [tower hath the maid? I know
it not except a ith her. Bid ner come back,

••Not to-night. Captain. The girl, I snr-
misc, is better alone. She hath said nay, I
think, to-night to young Matthew’s avowal,
and it puined her to see his grief."
“Yet Matthew is well favored."
“Not for her, I trow."
“I wonder if Matthew ever felt htr soft
touch, and her head rearing for an iustsnt
bn his breast, tlicugh by accident. If so,
did it unman him arid take bia strength

Captain went down the highway, for ha waa
beset with stranger and more pecnlhu ex

The production of genuine brandy has
almost ceased in France. Dnrtng the de
cade 1840-18SO tho quantity of alcohol an
nually distilled in the country averaged
some twenty-five million gallons, seven-
eighths of which was obtained from wino.
In 1882, thongh the quantity of spirits
manufactured lud nearly doubled, not quite
a half a million gallons were the distilled
juice of the grape. Most of the alcohol now

The Indians of Gniana have only fon
numbers in their system of numeration.
They connt by the hand and its fingers.
Thus when they reach fire instesulof saying
so, they call it a hand. Six is, therefore, a
“hand and first finger,” seven a “hand ami
second finger,” ten is “two hands,” but
twenty, instead of being four hands, is "a
man. Forty is "two men,” and thus they
go on by twenties. Forty-olx is expressed
as “two men, a hand anti first finger.”

appear altogether. For some years past the
river baaks below Babylon have been giv
ing wav so that tho atream spread out into

only n narrow channel remained for the na
tive boats. Now thia passage is becoming
•diliterated, and unless matters improve the
towns nn (lie banks will be rained, and the
famons river itself will be swallowed np by
the desert.

of McGirt's Creek, twelve miles southwest
of Jacksonville, thence running aa nearly
aa poasible in a straight line throngh the
Sante Fe river valley, and hitting the Gulf
of Mexico north of Cedar Keys, at Dead-
man’s Bay, the total distance travelled be
ing about 120 mile*. Captain Kada writes
that he considers the project in every way
feasible, and nnder his instructions Francis
J. Leharon, a civil enguiser, will at once
begin a preliminary survey of the proposed
route.
