John llonvy lovoil invent Mnry Ann,
Milt tin whs ii Imstifnl mvtiln,
Ami tln> love he felt lint eonlil not tell
Filled till his heart with imln.
Ilo ifu/od lit her, he sluhoil for her,
Through nil the livelong day;
He was quite ready to die for her,
lint he hadn't the courage to try for her
In the old, time-honored way,
And the other swains had nimble tongues,
And she was a coquette guy.
He asked his father to tell the tale
<>f his love to Mary Ann:
“Me sure you put II strong and sweet,”
lie said to the kind old man.
And the father tried to win the bride 0
For Ills haek ward, bashful son.
And he gave the girl a father's kiss,
And still another, and found It bliss;
And the courtship was begun ;
And Mnry Ann beenme John’s mother,
And the courtship then was done.

“Because, Aunt Maria," he replied,

The conversation hero turnoil to Al
exander II. Stephens. Htchard Mal
colm Johnston was ono of Alexander
Stephens’s closest friends. Tho two
men were closely associated together
during a groat part of their lives, and
one of the host of our American biog
raphies is Mr, Johnson’s life of Alex
ander 11. Stephens. During the talk he
told mo how he secured some of t he
mutniial for this life. Said ho: "Alex
ander Stephens and myself correspond
ed together for years, and we got into
the habit of writ ing letters to one an
other under assumed names. This be
gan in 18112. I had written a piece of
doggerel poetry, and I sent it to Mr.
Stephens with a letter signed ‘deems
Giles.’ In this I protended that I
wanted to bo a poet, and I asked Mr.
Stephens’ advice as to how I should im
prove my stylo and dispose of my
poems. Mr. Stephens rocognized tho
handwriting, and a few days later I re
ceived a letter which was signed ’Fe
tor Tinkle.’ Under this signature Mr.
Stephens wrot e an answer to my lottors.
Finklo protended that ho was a sort of
private secretary of Mr. Stephens, and
ho wrote his mantel's ideas on tho sub
ject of my poetry. It was, of course,
Mr. Stophons himself. For some time
wo carried on this sort of correspond-
ouco, my lottors always being signed
Jnems Giles, aud Alexander II. Steph
ens’ being signed Peter Finkle. Shortly
after the correspondence began I asked
Peter Finkle to give me some stories
about his master, whom ho called the
‘Boss,’ and in roply to this Alexander
Stophons told mo in thoso lottors a
large part of tho story of bin life. Ilo
described his school (lays, and wrote
much more freely thun ho could huve
written had ho boon writing concerning
himself in the llrst person. He was one
of tho most charming writers, and he
kept during his early life a sort of di
ary or journal. I was visiting him at
one time at his home in Georgia. I had
•asked him many questions about his
early life, and just before he went to
bed ono night ho asked mo to como to
his room. I did so, uud lie then showed
mo a dusty old manuscript which was
tmtrkod Noli me Tanyere. This was his
diary, lie said he had not looked at it
for yoais, and that ho had often in
tended to destroy it. lie read several
pages of it to me, and finally consented
that I might read the whole of it. This
wus before tho war. I knew him inti
mately up to tho time of his death.”
"Please tell me how he looked,” said
I.
“He was a little bundle of skin and
bones. Ho never weighed more than a
hundred pounds, and during his youth
lie weighed less than seventy. In ids
diary I remember he rejoices at having
increased his weight to ninety-four
pounds. Ilo was at this time 21, and ho
states that when he loft college at ID
his net weight was only seventy pounds.
During his early life I. venture ho did
not have a moment which was free
from pain, fie was always cold, not
withstanding the fact that ho wore two
suits of (-ilk under-clothes winter and
summer. He generally wore gloves, in
the house and out, and he had thomoBt
delicate stomach of any man I have
ever known. Ilo was melancholy in his
temperament, and was full of fears
and anxiety about himself and friends.
11o was the most tender-hearted man I
have ever known, and he had tho great
est sympathy for his friends and every
thing about, him. He was sick ;for a
week, when his favorite dog died, and
ho lavished more love on his dogs than
many men do on their families. lie was
a man of many friends, und he made
his friends’troubles his own. I loved
him very dearly, and our relations were
very close. T was living near Baltimore
during bis Congressional career, and lie
wanted me to come and spend my Sun
days with him. I .lid visit him often,
but he alw; ; ■ gave mo art elaborate
dinner with win':-, to which he invited
a number of ). friends, and 1 knew i.o
could not afford I would hardly g't
out of the hou-..- before he would begin
to write to rue, and the day after 1 ro
und Imd not fallen or takon cold on tho
way. When his brother Linton diod ho
was prostrated, and ho wroto mo to
come to him. lie only reoovored from
tho blow by plunging into work and by
trying to forget himself ip his labors.”
“Was ho a good judge of men, Mr.
Johnston?" I asked.
“Not as individuals,” replied Mr.
Johnston. "Ho had broad ideas of man
kind in the aggregate, and his foieslght,
ns to public questions was wonderfully
accurate. But t he poorest, meanest,
shabbiest negro could impose on him,
and ho was deceived again and again by
beggars and frauds, Ho was tho soul of
gotiorosity. He made, 1 venture, ns
much as $500,000 during his lifetime,
but ho died poor. Ilo spent his money
as fast, as ho made it and ho didn’t seem
to appreciate its value. Ills law prac
tice was large during n great part, of his
life, and he received a groat deal of
money from his books. His ‘Constitu
tional View of the War’ must have sold
about 70,000 copies. It was published
in two volumes. His royalty was 55
cents a volume, and his receipts from it
amounted to frtfi.ooO. He kept open
house at, Liberty Hall, his place in
Georgia, and every train brought him
guests, some of whom he had never
met. before. Ilo was fond of socioty and
was a most, charming talker.”
“lioforring to Alexander II. Si iph-
ens’ friendships,” continued Mr. John
ston, “he was to a certain extent super-
si itious, and ono of his superstitions
was_ hut his dreaming concerning fruit
indicated tho sickness or death of ono
of lus friends. He might, for instance,
dream of eating strawberries. Ho
would wake up in tho morning terribly
worried, and if a friend came in in tho
course of t he day and told him that one
of his acquaintances in the bnck din
tricts of Georgia had diod, ho would
say emphatically that 1m knew some
thing would happen aud that there was
the result of those strawberries
"How about, his love affairs? He nev
er married. Was he an udmiror of mi-
limn?”
“Yes,” replied Mr. Johnston, "Alex
ander if. .Stephens had all the chivalry
of a knight, of the middle ages, und all
of tho passion of an Apollo. He appre
ciated, however, that his physical con
dition would npt permit him to marry,
and though ho fell in love once or twice
during his life, ho never proposed mar
riego lo any one, and he kept bis pas
sion a secret. When he was teaching
sclio. 1 lie fell in love with one of his
pupils, ’Hit Im never spoke of It to her
m r to any ono else until nearly forty
years later. He was also In love when
ho was 40, and wag always an admirer
of beautiful women.”
From Alexander Stephens t.lm con
versation drifted i iGen, Boh Toombs,
whom Mr. John-ten called tho greatest
intellectuality Im had ever known, and
from him to other great, men of tho
South. Ho said that ho thought the
giants of the South were not ns well
known as those of the North. It was
only during recent years that llm South
had contained many literary men. Tho
Southerners of tho past were more like
tho Romans, in that they wore men of
action, and not writers. Tho North
erners Mr. Johnston compared to the
Greeks, who were poets and scholars,
as well as soldiers. Ilo said that he
thought the war Imd chunged tho South
in this respect, and that the present
ora of literary activity and of literary
production in tlm South was largely
due to this change. Throughout the
whole conversation Mr. Johnston ex
hibited tlm warmest of sentiments in
regard to l he North, and his friendships

Albany Herald.
Uol. W. Y. Atkinson arrived in Al
bany Wednesday night and remained
bore until yesterday morning, whon
lm left at 11:45 for Leesburg, accom
panied by Cols. W. E. Wooten und K.
R. Jonos and a Herald reporter.
Arriving at Leesburg, a large num
ber of citizens mot him nnd look him
in charge.
At the court-house, at 1 o’clock, Col.
Atkinson was introduced to a largo au
dience, in a graceful and Imppy man
ner, by Judge II. L. Long.
After a few running remarks, Col.
Atkinson said that it had come to his
oars that the Evans supporters in Lee
wore using the argument, against, him
that ho (Atkinson) was opposed to the
re-election of Gen. l’hil Cook, of Lee,
as Secretary of State. On this point
Col. Atkinson avowed his purpose to
support Gem Cook unqualifiedly, tak
ing occasion to pay a beautiful tribute
to him. This called Jorlh uproars of
applause. * * *
After awhile Col. Atkinson asked
wlmt Gen. Evans had over done for
Democracy.
He has never hud a chance!” said
Mr. John Haines, from the audience.
‘He has Imd all llm chance he want-
as much us anybody else,” replied
Mr. Atkinson.
Are you a member of tlm church?”
asked Mr. Humes.
"Yes, sir; but I judge that you are
not,” said Col. Atkinson.
This occasioned I remote Ions applause,
and there were loud cries of ''Hurrah
for Atkinson 1” and “Hurrah for Ev
ans!” 1 f was some t ime before order
was restored.
Later on, Mr. Haines asked Col. At
kinson if Im did not. side with the Stev
ens crowd in llm Inst Congressional
campaign iu the Second district. Atkin
son said "No,” nnd Haines said he
could "got a man” to prove it by. He
was asked to do so. He noon returned,
accompanied by Col. Jesso W. Walters,
of Dougherty. This created somewhat
of a furore in tlm audience.
After stuting that ho did all iu hie
power to prevent strife in tho Second
district between tlm Wootoit-Stevnm
factions, anil that Im only went so far
as his authority as chairman of the
State Democrat io Executive Committee
entitled him, Col. Atkinson turned bo
Mr. Haines and uskod him whutlmhed
to say. He said he had nothing to say,
but that his friend Col. Walters did.
Mr. Walters declined to say anything,
and Col. Atkinson continued to speak.
Col. Atkinson’s speech was a muster-
ly effort -eloquent und full of logic,
which wns vociferously applauded.
Col. Atkinson spoke one hour and
twenty-live minutes, und it wus very
ovidimt, when lm concluded, that he
had made many converts.
Col. Atkinson returned to Albany
yesterday afternoon, was the guest of
llol. W. E. Wooten last, night, and left
this u orbing al, 5 o’clock on the Colum
bus Southern railroad for Dawson,
where he makes a speech to-day.

When the cook opened the door to
the timid knock of the peri patotic stran
ger without, she found him meekly
waitiug.
“Good-morning,” ho said, “have you
an old Sunduy-school book about the
house I could take?”
Tho cook was knocked plumb speech- i
loss.
"A Sunday-school book?” she gasp
ed.
"Yes, miss,” he replied.
“What in the name of goodness do
you want with that?”
He stepped a little nearer the door.
“You see, miss, it’s this way,” ho
said in explanation; “when I was a lit
tle boy and read that story of Jonah
swallowing the whale I used to have
some doubts about it. Here lately,
though, I’ve got so holler myself that
I kinder thought I’d like to read it over
