10 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?" “llecanso of your constraint of me. 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, "Tlw.

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 pel sweet submission irom him while he | themtanttoa'tosunnd t»aUhsudibappram* lived. riR COliGHSStQROUP USE TAYLOR’S £ Tjl DK.

Then, too, ha aaw—and wontlered why he never took heed of them before— served for a saddle, aud with Tier’red lip. 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.

The production of genuine brandy has almost ceased in France.

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 produced ia made from grain. 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.
