Hetty Lockwood sat at the open win
dow—a big basket of nndarued stock
ings at her side, while within reach, a
blight bntterfly hovered about a newly
opened honeysuckle growing against the
window. The spring breeze breathed
balmily into the apartment, filling her
senses with a delicious dreaminess, and
her eyes wandered wistfully out beyond
the shaded village street, to the green
fields and budding willows bordering
the sparkling river. On a movnin
such us this who could epdore to stay
in doors? Who could endure to sit
quietly down and mend stockings?
A girlish voice aroused Hetty. Look
ing from the window she saw fcusie
Labe leaning on the little front garden
gate.
‘ Oh, Hetty, do come and walk with
me to Annt Ellen’s. The morning is
lovely and I have something to tell
you.”
“I am afraid I can’t, Susie. It’s Sat
urday, you know, and I am sewing and
watching baby sleep, while mother is
in tlie kitchen.”
“Then I will have to tell you now, I
suppose.”
She came close under the window
and said with a mischievous smile:
“Whom do you think I saw just now,
Hetty?”
“I don’t know who. Tho new minis
ter?”
“No, indeed; somebody very differ
ent from that fat,red-faced old codger.”
returned Susie, irreverently.
“Oh, Susie! bnt who was it?”
“It was Mr: Walter Bayes. Now,
ain’t you surprised?”
A vivid blush dyed Hetty’s fair face.
She made no reply, and Susie contin
ued:
His employer, Mr. Mitchell, sent
him on business from Philadelphia to
G , and as this wasn’t much out of
the way of him home, they gave him
leave fb stop here for a day or two, so
he told me when I met him just now.
He arrived odIv an hour ago, in the
stage from Cox’s station, and that is
how I came to 6ce bin before you did.
Hetty,” she added, laughingly.
She passed on, leaving Hetty with
flushed cheeks and brightened eyes.
No wonder. For more than a year
past thb thought of Walter Hayes had
beenjthe brightest spot of her life. One
year ago he bad stood at that same lit
tle green garden gate in the moonlight,
bidding her good-bj before going away
to the great city to seek his fortune;
She remembered the warm, lingering
clasp of his hand, and how he had said
to her. in a voioe that was low and
trembling,
“You must not forget me. Hetty. I
shall always think of you, Hetty, and
when I come back—”
Apd jest then her mother had come
out on the porch and called her in out
of the damp, air, and eo hejiad left her
reluctantly. . But now he had come
back and she wonld see him to-day.
- “Jdo declare, Hetty/’-exclaimed her
mother, bustling into the roopi, flushed
from her pie-baking, “Yon are - the
laziest girl I ever saw. Here you’ve
been upward of an hour damiDg one
pair of stockings! What haveyoubeen
about? Dreaming away your time as
usual, no doubt,-and with all the chil
drens’ Sunday clothes to look oYat and
lay out for to-moirow, besides the Sat
urday’s chores.”
Hetty penitently resumed her work;
bnt she was very glad when toward
sunset, it was all done, and rife
bad leisure to ran up to her own little
room, and never In her life had she
tumultuously her heart beat &beh at
length it came, and how heavy it sank
when old Deacon Brown stalked in to
disoass church matters with her father!
Then she began to look at the dock,
and her heart grew fainter and fainter
as she saw it traveling slowly round to
eight o'clock. Jn Riverside they kept
early hours, and when, at a quarter to
mine, Deacon Brown took leave Hetty
also rose, and fighting her bed-room
candle, went slowly and sadly up stairs.
When, next morning she came down,
her mother remarked, as she busied
herself with the breakfast table:
“Hetty, Walter Hayes was here last
niieht.”
* r 0h s mother!”
There was something almost pathetic
m>tiiq look ] and. tone, bnt Mrs. Lpck-
wood was tOo busy with the steading
pot to perceive it,
“He came just as you had. gone up
stairs,” sh& continued.“He asked for
you, bnt it was so late I thonght it
hardly worth while to call you back
again. He had been seeing Miss
Mitchell home to her aunt’s—that Phil
adelphia girl, you know, and I'dicln’tf
know, until he mentioned it, that she
was a niece of his employer, Mr. Mitch
ell. He is certainly improved. To my
mind there is nothing in the world like
city fife for giving people what they call
style, now. Make Eddie’s milk toast
While I pour out the coffee.”
‘I think,” observed Mr. Lockwool,
as he took his place at the table and
cut into the cold corned beef, “I think
I heard Harry Tunstall say yesterday
that young Hayes was paying attention
to Miss Mitchell. She’s a handsome
girl, and her father’s got money. If
Walter marries her he will do well—
don’t bolt yonr food like that, cut it
properly, sir, before eating.”
Hetty turned suddenly sick at heart.
She said nothing, but she could not
swallow her breakfast, and her mother
presently remark^**ipon her pale looks.
“Don’t you f^ well, child? I no
ticed that you we*w fidgety last night.
You’re feverish, J^loul^t not-- '*'Hli the
spring weathef^”
Hetty was gljjc’ per
mitted her to/i ‘"amyie
down.- Tlicri. '/r
room, lint she ces
over her head ft\
thus shut herself otirfrom the whole
world. She felt forlorn and miserable.
All her sweet, foolish dreams of love
seemed to have been rudely stricken at
a blow. Walter hud ceased to care for
her. He had been won from her by
that handsome, stylish girl from Phila
delphia; and Hetty hid her face in her
pillow and almost wished that she could
die.
Her mother sent for her to come down
to dinner. There was, she said, uo use
in staving up stairs in the cold, and the
child would be better by the fire with
some nice, warm s.oup. In there all.
the afternoon Hetty sat, while her fa
ther and the boys went to church, and
her mother 'read ‘ ‘Baxter’s Rise and
Progress,” aud sang dismal hymns to
the baby.
“Hat,” said Bill, on his return from
church, “I saw your old bean, Mr.
Walt Hayes,at church with Miss Mitch
ell, and he shook hands with me and
asked me how the familv was. She’s a
real swell, I tell yon, and if you don’t
shine up some she’ll cut yop out.”
‘'•William, don’t you let me hear any
more of such slang talk from you,” said
his mother, reprovingly.
' “And Hetty,” said her little sister, as
she carefully drew off and folded her
gloves, “I heaid Kate Hayes tellipg
Mrs. Green that Walter and Mias
Mitchell were going back .to-morrow to
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Green said she
supposed that was one reason of his
coming to Riverside, that he might
travel home with her.”
Hetty lost all henrt and all courage at
this, She longed for sympathy-.-to lay
her head on her mother’s knee "and tell
her all. But Mrs. Lockwood, though
she really loved her children, was not
one of those gentle and sympathetic
mothers to whom their children thus
tarn; and Hetty went again to her
room, and wrapping herself in a shawl,
seated herself at a window and looked
listlessly out,
A few people were passing, Bhe
hardly noticed them until she suddenly
met a pair of Drown eyes, and she drew
back with bnrning cheeks and a beat
ing heart as Walter Hayes passed.
How handsome he looked, and as her
mother had observed, how improved in
appearance! And 8he-—what must he
think of her, sitting there pale and for
lorn looking with her hair all disorder
ed about her face? He might coign
this evening, perhaps, and yet she
hardly wished it now. It would only
be painful to see him. Still she dressed
herself and went down stairs, though
her head was throbbing and she felt
really-ill. And all the evening she wait-
ed and watched and Walter never name,
nnd she knew he did not care to see
her." And so ended the long dreary/
day.
Next morning Hetty arose feverish
and ji}, But she busied bersejf about
of battier to old Mrs. Simpson, she
made no objection. The day was pleas
ant, and tying a pink-lined hood about
her face, Hetty set out alone on her
walk.
It was rather a long distance that she
had to go—out of the village and across
a field, and then by a lonely pathway
lying by the foot of a hill; Mrs. Simp
son kept her some time talking, and it
was late when, the girl set out on her
return. .
Slowly retracing the little pathway,
Hetty paused at the little stile which
led into the open field.®* It was pleas
ant there. The sun shed a golden
fight over the beech boughs, and a
breath of spring-time fragrance floated
on the air, Somehow Hetty^felfc sooth
ed as she stood renting on the stile and
looking dreamily'at -the white clouds
over-head.
An approachihg footstep startled her.
Turning, she saw a man’s figure coming
along the pathway. Herjheart gave a
great throb and then seemed .to stand
still.
He '-straight toward her,his hand
extende. is lips smiling, his eyes
looking o ight into her own.

'ip at him, half in hope,
half in ilouStT and the color came and
went on her face.
“Hetty, I have wanted so moch to
see you!”
She could not mistake the sincerity
of his tone or the look of the brown
eyes, and she. answered, simply and
naively:
“I thonght yon bad forgotten me,”
“Forgotten yon!”
' She could not have told how it hap ;
pened, but somehow she found herself
seated on the step of the stile with Wal
ter beside her, and her cheek close—
ah, very close—to his, while all the
world around seemed transformed into
a strange beauty and glory. Such mir-
ac’es dues a moment sometimes work in
our lives.
As they walked slowly homeward to
gether he told her that one thing and
another had prevented his seeing her;
amoDg the rest, Bill having told him
confidently at the church that she was
too sick to come down stairs that day—
a statement which he had unfortunate
ly credited, and when this morning he
had called and learned from her moth
er where she had gone he lost no time
in following,
“But, Walter,” said Hetty, hesitat
ingly, “do you know I heard something
about you and Miss Mitchell?”
Walter laughed.
“Miss Mitchell is to be married
shortly, Hetty, to our junior partner.
She has been very kind to me, aud so
lias her nuclei my employer. Indeed,
Hetty, I wanted to tell you of my good
fortune and prospects and to ask you,
darling, if when—”
And the words which had been for a
whole year delayed were spoken, and
Hetty wondered, as she came in sight
of her home, whether this could he the
same world that it had been oh that
dark, dark day, yesterday.
He’ll Never be Sweet Again.
Two lovers were out for a morning
walk in the leafy aisles of a New Jersey
forest. The birds sang blithely upon
the boughs, the early sunshine quaffed
the dew from grass and petals, and all
nature seemed to rejoice like a bride on
her wedding day. The maiden gather
ed violets, arbutus and cowslips, while
he gathered what he supposed to be a
white kitten that had taken refuge in
the hollow stump of a long departed
tree, Miserable fate! Strange Oatas-
trophel Unhappy man! Referring to
the incident afterward in a letter to a
friend, the maiden wrote: “If George

quet
ladies—held its second meeting for the
season 1881. Two new members were
admitted, and proposals for membership
were made. The committee on resolu
tions made their expected report. The
resolutions were written on scented pa
per and penned with violet ink. After
the business of the evening had been
finished ' the young lady sitting on the
ottoman snddenlv exclaimed:
“Oh. my! Girls did you hear about
Oonkling?”
“No what is it?” said the four misses
on the settee, in one breath.
“Why, he’s resigned.”
“Resigned to what? Has he been
dangerously sick?” said the se.qreta-
*y- ., J J
“No; no. ■. 'Can’t you understand?—
He has given np hisjSenatorship.”
“Goodness gracious 1 Ain’t that too
bad?”
‘How much did he get for it?”
queried the girl with the album in her
lap.
•Why, you silly thing; you ought to
read the newspapers, Senator Oonk
ling got dissatisfied with something in
Washington and resigned his office into
the hands of Governor Cornell. There
a misunderstanding L between him
and the President about some man
named ^Bob—Roberts—let me see.
Robinson—no that aint it. _Oh, yes—
Robertson. Dear suz! They jsay the
whole country is in a crisis ”
“I read all about that,” said the pres
ident of the club, knowingly, "‘Senator
Conkling and this Robertson had some
kind of a fuss—while they were trying
a lawsuit. Come to think, Mr. Conk-
ling wanted to^give him some instrns-
tion and Robertson wouldn’t have it.
Then the President appointed Ribert-
son to collect money in some ward ia
New York City—”
“That wasn’t it,” interrupted the
first speaker, “The President told Mr.
Robertson to stand at some look—a
deadlock thay call it—and see that the
canalboat captains paid their tolls. The
man who was epufc out of a job by Mr.
Robertson getting the situation nsed to
go to schooljwith Mr. Conklincr.”
_ “What I want to know,” said a young
lady, “is how could the .President order
these men around so? Didn’t I read
in a paper the other day that Mr.
Conkling was the boss?”
“My sakes! that’s fuuny,” ejaculated
the seoretary; “I heard my brother-say
it was a man named Blaine, who came
here from Canada, and wanted to run
the whole country, who raised that dis
turbance. The President made this
Blaine a present of a cabinet organ,and
then ‘he never stopped begging until
he got a whole set of furniture, too.
That made the other man who didn’t
get anvthing jealous.”
-What were the guns firing for to
day,” asked the girls on the settee.
“You see, the Senate helped Robert
son to get this job,” answered the first
speaker, “and the hnlf-breeds were so
glad they borrowed some cannons.
* ‘Who are the half-breeds? In
dians?”
“I am not sure, but I don’t think
they are. They must have Gome here
when the canal opened.”
“Girls,” exclaimed the president of
the meeting, “do you know I think that
firing was a real battle? I read in the
papers last week aboqt the ‘War on
the President.” Isn’t it awful?”
“Andlsaw how the bomb struck 1”
“Oh, those horrid half-breeds!” ejac
ulated five voices at once,
“Yes,” continued the president, “and
I believe that they are going to bp
commanded by that General Mahono,
who came to Washington with a red
shirt on and tried to spare every
body.”
“I am going home,” faintly Baid the
secretary.
“Let us all go,” said tbe’girls on the
settee.
“Oh, I hope wo wont meet any half-
breeds.”
Recently one of the ahnshoqsp boys
was adopted by a worthy, big hearted
couple, who hare no children of their

Department' of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., June 7th.. ’81.
The International Cotton Exposition
to be held at yonr Capital.City. Atlanta,
commencing Oct. 5th, 1881, and closing
December 31st, following, will afford an
opportunity for exhibiting the prod
ucts of yonr soil, which will probably
not be duplicated within the next half
century. • -
We failed to avail onrselves of the op
portunity of. advertising the resources
of Georgia at the Centennial Exposi
tion held ;at,Philadelpbia in 1876; let
ns not fail to utilize, to the utmost, the
opportunity now abont to be present
ed. The attention of capitallists and
emigrants is being directed to the
South aud especially to Georgia. Vast
numbers of persons from foreign coun
tries, and from the other States of this
Union,, will visit Georgia during the
continuance ofHlie Exposition.
Let every citizen who loves his State
and desires to see Georgia creditably
represented and illustrated at the ap
proaching Exposition, feel that the
responaility of contributing to the de
sired end rests upon him individually.
Let every citizen of Georgia do his
duty, and no Georgian will need to
blush at the exhibit of the products of
her soil.
Georgia possesses a variety of soil
and climate which is not equalled by
any other State in the Union, She
numbers in her fists of products those
of every State in the Union. Were
she excluded from the rest of the world
she need not permanently deprive her
citizens of any important article of
consumption except coffee. It is earn
estly desired that the farmers and stock
breeders of the State demonstrate by
their exhibits at the approaching Expo
sition, the capabilities of the State in
every department of productive indus
try.
Begin now to collect specimens of
crops already matured and to prepare
stock and crops for the Exposition.
Let county societies take the matter
in hand in each county. At the next
meeting of each society let each mem
ber be appointed a special committee
for the purpose of enlisting the far
mers in that county in a combined and
concerted effort to illmtrate the pro
ductive industries of the county. The
premium list will be arranged and
widely distributed, bnt do not wait for
this; go to work at once and organize
with the determination that yonr coun
ty will be properly represented, at the
Exposition.
If each county will do this, the best
informed Georgian even, will be aston
ished at the illustrated resources of
his State, and the representative visi
tors from all parts of the world will
have an opportunity of realizing the
richness and variety of our resonroes.
Success or failure, so far as the ag
ricultural display is concerned, wifi de
pend upon the interest manifested by
the fnrmers, and the efforts made by
them. Other States are organizing to
display their prodnotsand iUnstrate
their resources. Georgia must put
forth vigorous efforts or lose her boast
ed ascendency.
No admission fee will be charged cn
agricultural displays.
The agricultural department of the
Exposition will not be permitted to con
flict with the State Fair, hut will not he
openjfor entries until the week after
the Fair of the the State Agricultural
Society, which will he held at Macon,
Ga., commencing October 17tb, and
oontinqing one week.
Further information will be prompt
ly furnished to (hose who desire it.
Let Georgia’s agriculture be fully and
oreditably represented.
Bespetfully,
J, T. Hbkdebson,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

and when this popular bcveragB came
into nse. Bat as m the case of other
things in general demand for th.e table,
it is worth while to hare soma acquain
tance with their introduction and his
tory. As regards coffee, it seems everj_
to have found a place in England dur
ing the reigns of Elizabeth .and the
first James—reigns so prolific in dis
covery, and so marked by additions to
what we eat and drink. It had been
heard of, for Lord Bacon, in a passage
which Dr. Johnson quoted in his'dio-
tionary, says: “They hare iu Turkey
a drink called- coffee, made of a berry,
of the same name, aa black os soot and 1
of a strong scent, but not aromaticoli
which they take beaten into powder, in'
water, as hot as they can drink it. This' *
drink comforteth the brain and beart.
and helpeth digestion.” The earliest
account of its actual use in this
country is said to be given by Anthony
A Wood, who tells us that “one Nh-
thaniel Canopius, a native of Crete, and'
resident in Balliol college, Oxford,'
which he quitted in 1648, was in the.’
habit cf using a beverage called ‘oofifey.’
which he prepared for himself, being-
the first of that kind, as the onoients of
the house declared, that was ever drank'
in Oxon,” We learn from the same au
thor that “in 1650, Jaoob, a Jew, open
ed a coffee house at the Angel, in the"
palish of St. Peter-in-the-Eaat, Oxon,’
and there it was, by some who delight
ed in the noveltie, drank. Iu 1624, Cir
ques Jobson, a Jew and Jacobite, born 1
near Mount Kibanns, sold coffee in Ox-'
on, and in 1655. Arthui Tillyard, apoth
ecary, sold coffee publicly ia his honse'
against All Soules College. The coffee'
house continued till His Majestic’s re
turn and after, and then became mere'
frequent and had an excise put upon'
coffee.” An Euffisli work, based npon‘
Beckman’s “History of Inventions,”
mentions some of the preoeding details,
and adds, from “A New View of Lon
don,” published in 1708, tho record :
that “one James Farr, a barber, who
kept the coffee house which is now The'
Rainbow, by the inner temple gate, one
of the oldest in England, was, in the
year 1657, presented by the inquest-of 1
St Duncan’s-in-the-West, ‘for making-
and selling a sort of liquor coffee to the'
great nuisance and prejudice of the’
neighborhood.’ Who could then have'
thonght London wonld over have had*
near three thousand suoh nuisances,
and that coffee would have been,as now'
so much drank by the best of quality '
and physicians? It is farther stated 1 -
that the first mentioned coffee in our*
statute boons occurs in the year of the'
restoration of King Charles II,, lfi66; :
bat this proves how rapid" ahd great
had been the increase in its consump-'
tiun. There is ample evidenoe of its-
having been in common nse very snou*
after the date jast mentioned.
