MY GIRL WITH THE CALICO
DRESS.
A fig for your fashiouable girls,
With their velvets and satius and
laces,
There diamonds and 1 rubies and pearls,
And their milliners figures aud faces.
They may shine at a party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess;.
But give me in place of them all,
M.v girl with the calico dress!
Your dandies and fopliogs may sneer
At lur simple and modest attire,
But the charms she permits to appear
Would set a whole iceberg c n li e.
She can-dance, but sho never allows
The hugging, the squeeze and caress;
She is saving all these for her spouse-
My girl with the caliGO dress.
S’ie‘8 as plump as a partridge, aud fair
As the rose in its'eailiest bloom;
Her teeth will with ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover
perfume.
If you want a companion fw life,
To comfort, enliven and bless,
Slie is just the right sort for a wife,
Is my girl with the calico dress.
How Spoopendyke Opens Oysters.
•My dear/ queried Mr. Spoojoen-
dyke, ‘did yon put those oysters 011
tbe cellar floor with rouud shells down
as I tokl you to ?
‘I did most ’em/replied Mrs Spoop-
eudyke. ‘Some of ‘cm wouldn't stay
that way. They turned right over. 1
‘Must have been extraotdiua.y in¬
telligent oysters, 1 muttered Mr. Spoop
eudyke, eyeing lier with suspicion.
7Jklu‘t nny of ‘em stood up on the
eud , aid ask for a morning paper,
did tin y ?*’
‘You don't knew wliat I mean/
fluttend Mrs. Spoopendyke. ‘They
tipped side ways, and so I laid them
on the flat sheik"
•That's right, 1 grunted Mr. /Spoop¬
endyke. ‘You want to give and oys¬
ter bi n own wav, or ^on'!! Inirfc his
feelings. Suppose vou bring up some
of tlios-e gifted oysters and an oyster
knife, and we'll cat ‘em. 1
Mrs. ’Spoopendyke hurried away
and pattered back with the feast duly
set out on a tea waiter which she plac
ed before Mr. Spoopendyke with a
flourish.
‘Now, 1 said she, drawing up her
sew ng chair and resting lier elbows
on her knees and her chin on her
hands, ‘When you get all you want
yon may open me some. 1
Mr. Spoopendyke whirled the knife
around his head and brought it down
a sharp crack. Then he clipped away
at, the end for a moment, and jabbed
at what he supposed was the opening.
The knife slipped and plowed th •
bark of bis thumb.
'Won’t come open won't ye lie
snorted; fetching it another lick and
jabbing away again. ‘Haven't com-

inquire within,don't ye ?‘ and he ram¬
med the point of the knife at it.
Knocking the skin off his knuckle.
'That isn't the way to open an oys-
ster,‘ suggested Mrs. Spoopendyke.
'Book here, * roared Air. Spoopen¬
dyke, turning fiercely on his wife,
'have you got any private understand¬
ing with this oyster ? Has the oyster
confided in yon the particular way in
which he wants to be opened
‘No 0 !‘ stammered Mrs. Spoopen¬
dyke. ‘Only I thought—‘
‘This is no time for thoughtshout¬
ed Air. Spoopendyke, banging away
at the edge of the shell. This is the
moment for battle, and if I‘ve happen-
ed to catch this oyster during the of-

flew up his sleeve. ‘Maybe you don't
vecoguize the voice of Spoopendyke!
Come out, ye dod gasted coward, be.

and he pelted away at the shell with
the handle of his knife, and spattered
mud like a dredging machine.
'Let me get you a hammer to crack

dyke, hovering over her husband in
i great perturbation.
‘Don't want any hammer!' howled

endvko, stabbing at the oyster vindic¬
tively, and slicing his shirt sleeve clear
to-tlie elbow. ‘Come forth and enjoy
the society of Spoopendyke!'. and
the worthy gentleman foamed at the
mortil) as be sunk back in his chair
mid contemplated his stbborn foe‘with
glaring eyes.
T‘U toll you what to do! 1 exclaimed
Mrs. Spoopendyke,radiant with a pro¬
found idea. ‘Crack him in the door! 1
‘That's the scheme! 1 grinned Mr,
Spoopendyke, with a horrifdb contor
tion of visage. ‘Fetch me the door.
Set that door right before me on a
plate. This oyster is going to stay
here.
If you think this eyster is goiug to

don't know the domestic habits of

Mr. Spoopendyke, returning the
charge, and fetching the bivalve a
prodigous whack. ‘Coma into the
outer world, where all is gay and
beautiful. Come out and let me iiD
troduce you to my wife, 1 and Mr.
kul the oyster on the
arm of his chair, and slugged him re¬
morselessly.
‘Wait! 1 squealed Mrs. Spoopendyke,
‘here'sone with his mouth open! 1 and
she pointed cautiously at a gaping
oyster who had evinently taken down
the shutters to see whift the row was
■about.
‘Dont care a dod gasted nickel with
a hole in it! 1 protested Mr. Spoop
endyke,thoroughly impatient. ‘Here's
one that's going to open his mouth,
or the resurrection will find him Still
wrestling with the ostensible head of
the family. Owl* and Mr. -Spoopen-
dyke, having rammed the knife into
the palm of Ms hand, slammed the
oyster against the chimney-piece,
where it was shattered, at)d danced
around the room wriggling with wrath
and agony.
•Nevermind the oysters, dear, 1 cried
Mrs. Spoopendyke, following him
around and trying to disengage his
wounded hand from his opposite arm-
pit.
‘Who's minding ’em? 1 roared Mr.
Spoopendyke, standing on one leg and
bending up double. ‘I tell ye that
when I start to inflict discipline on a
narrow-minded oyster that won't
either accept an invitation or send re-
giets,he‘s going to mind me! Where's
the oyster? Show me the oyster! Ar¬
raign (ho oyster! 1
‘Upon roy word you’ve opened him,’
giggled Mrs. Spoopendyke, picking
the smashed bivalve between the tip
of her thumb and forefinger. ‘TlWt
have him! 1 sniffed Mr. Spoopendyke,
eyeing the broken shell and firing his
defeated enemy into the grate. ‘If I
can‘t go into the front door of an oys¬
ter, I‘m not going down the scuttle!
That all comes of laying ‘em on the
fiat shell/ he continued, suddenly re¬
collecting that his wife was to blame
for the whole business. ‘Now you
take the rest of ‘em down and lay ‘em
as I told you to. 1
Yes dear. ‘
‘And another time you want oysters
you sit around in the Cellar, and when
they open their mouths, you put sticks
in. Yon hear? 1
And Mrs. Spoopendyke took tho bi¬
valves back, resolving that the next
time they were in demand they would
crawl out of their shells and walk up
stairs arm in arm before she would
have aDy hand in the mutilation of
her poor, dear, suffering husband by
bringing them up herself.

HowThey Fixed It.
‘Is it not beautiful, sweetheart ?’
As Lillian McGuire spolte these 1
words sho looked into Rupert Ilether-
ington's face with her stary eyes, and,
as the light of holy love shot forth
from within their dusty depths, ho
felt idstinctivcly that she was goiug to
hold him up for some ice-cream. But
conquering tho sombre reflections
that this ghastly thought called up,
the young man placed his arm around
Lillian's waist to prevent her red saeh>
from being smistvuck, and waited tho
intense agony of a horrible; suspicion
for her to speak,again.
‘Do you not think that it is lovely
darling?’
'iriiat?' asked Rupert With an iib
genious Owl-Club expression on tho
perfect features of.liis West-Side face.
‘Why, the morning, to bo sure,
replied the girl, a sunny, sixsbuttou
smile playing lightly around her lips
as if afrukl it might fall in. ‘The
twittering of tho birds, those silver-
throated harbingers of summer, is to
be heard on every branch aud bough.
Tho air is lad ffl with the delicate per¬
fume of Ita aud apple blossoms,
while tho dew kissed leaves of you
sturdy maple reflect a little of the
crimson and gold of the rising sun.
Spring has been a rod laggard, but
now that she lias come in all her glory
of bud and blossom, what cau be more
beautiful ?‘
T cannot tell you,’ replied ®ipert
‘You arc far too fly for me, dearest,
when such matters are to be discussed
But in tho dreamy, sensuous days of
autumn vvhen the tasseled corn hangs
ripe in the sheaves, aud tho leaves
have felt tho blighting touch of the
frost king's icy breath, I am more
liable to get there. Mine, as you
know, is a sensitive, Sedgewick street
nature that shrinks from contact with
a cold and cruel world. To me the
spring has naught of joy, The low,
mellow note-ofithe milch cow chasing
a'bute&’rt^wag# in wlitd} her off¬
spring uneasily reclines seems to me
like the wail of a lost soul and weiid
fancies crowd my brain as I hear at
midnight the mournful hoot of the
owl, flitting like some evil spirit amid
the desolate precincts of the village
churchyard! 1
‘It is your liver, darling,’ murmur¬
ed Lillian.
‘I sometimes think so,’was the re¬
ply. ‘Ever and anon tho thought
comes over me like a black demon of
the night that I am off my foot. But it
cannot, must not be. Yet in the aus
tumn all is changed. Tho soft mezzo¬
tints of the pumpkin pie fall grateful¬
ly on my eye, and all nature laughing
in the fruitage of an abundant harvest
seems joyous and free from care. It
is to tell you this that I have come
around so early this morning—to tell
you that in the months that are to
come, the scorching days of midsum¬
mer, when the sun, hanging like a
ball of molten brass in the sky, will
send down its rays in pitiless fury,
you hadbetter get another fellow-ouo
who will love you as dearly as I have
done, and whose memory you cau ever
cherish with tender gentleness.
‘But whom shall I get ?‘ asked the
girl in agonized tones.
‘I have thought of this, sweetheart,’
Rupert replied. ‘You can do no bet¬
ter than take George W. Simpson.
He loves you dearly. I know it, be¬
cause he has often told me that lie
doesn't, and George cannot tell the
truth ?’
‘I will do as you say,’ said the girl,
choking back a sob that was welling
up from her breakfast.
■And now good bye.’
'So long,’ said Rupert, kissing her
as ho spoke.
The girl threw her arms around his
neck, kissed him with a passionate,
pump-suetion kiss and wont into the
house.
Rupert walked around tho comer,
where he met George Simpson.
‘Did you fix it ?’ asked George.
‘Yes,’was the reply.
‘Which do I get, winterer sum¬
mer?’
‘Summer.’
‘You are in luck, a8 usual, old boy.
They tell me she can beat the record

‘Yes,’said Rupert,'but think of the
oysters!’ ‘True,replied George, ‘Ihad forgot¬

A War Reminiscence.
A Brave Southern Maiden.
In the month of May, 1863. tho
army of tho Cumberland, under com-
maud of Rosecraos, lay at Chattanoo¬
ga, Gen. Garfield, the Chief of Stuff
to the commanding Geueral, being
anxious to strike a blow at t he rnil
road system of Georgia,, persuaded
ifosecraus to authorize the fitting out
of a raiding expedition against ltoine,
in that State. Garfield undertook
with joyous anticipations, ns wo lonrn
from his letters to Secretary Chase,
the formatioa of this force, aud it was
at his suggestion that Col. Streight
was plucod iu command of the expes
dition, composon of noarly two thous¬
and picked soldiors. With what suo-
cess this Jhderal force made its raid
on Koine, and just how much of tho
i- a ji wa y system of tlio empko state of
south Co]’, freight contrived to
destroy aro matters of familiar bis •
tory.
Iho raiders reached Rome, it is
true, but they went ns prisoners of tho
brave Gem Forrest, who, with a bravo
little baud of four hundred men, ill-
clad and poorly fed, sent tb© whole
invading forces to Richmond over the
very railroad they set out to destroy.
Gen.Garfield was Dover known to speak
of tbe painful result of his military skill
with half the enthusiasm with which
ho put this formidable squadron in tbo
field.
The capture of Streight by Forresti
as before stated, is familiar history;
but who has been introduceed to Miss
Emma Sansom, the brave Gadsdon
girl of sixteen summers, by whose
forethought usd prompt action klio
capture, was made possible? The great
war developed many deeds of daring
on the part of women on both Bides of
the contest, Lut it seems to mo that
the heroic conduct of Miss Sansom
deserves to rank a conspicuous exam¬
ple of female courage and of womanly
devotiou. to a oausa sho believed so just.
So far as known, there has never
# of tho value of
been any recognition
her services,except on the part of Gen
Forrest in his oftlicul report. The
state of Alabama did indeed, vote her
a seation of land, but lias never been
able to convey to her a valid title to
thesame.
The part Miss Emma took in the
diamatic pursuit of Col. /Streight by
Forrest's force may be briefly stated.
Hard by her humble home was a
stream which bore tliesnggestive name
of black creek. At the date of our
story this stream was greatly swollen
from heavy rains. Col. /Streight, af¬
ter passing tho bridge, took care to
burn it. Forrest was at his heels,
but finding no means of crossing Black
creek, gravely meditated an abandon¬
ment of the pursuit. Ridding up to
Afiss Emma's houso to spend the night
he was quickly informed by her that in
a secluded spot a mile distant up the
creek a ford conld be found for his
cavalry, which would enable him to
cross and continue his march. Start¬
led by this unexpected intelligence he
requested her to accompany him and
to point out the place. No time was
to be lost, and although Col.
Sireight's skirmishers were firing
across the creek, which now appeared
as a mighty river, Miss Emma at once
oonsented to-go. Having no horse of
her own, sire vaulted up behind For-
Yest, and bravely exposed her life to
the bullets of the enemy, while the
General led his men under her guid¬
ance to the welcome ford.
The sequel can be told in a few
words. She remained on the bank of
Black creek long enough to see the
last soldier safely over, and then wav¬
ing her hand sho bid them all good¬
bye,God speed, and a plendid victory.
Returning homo through tho open
fields alone she sent up a silent pray¬
er for tho capture of G’ol. Streight and
his raiders. The answer to that pray¬
er was not long delayed. Two days
later, while in camp cooking and
carousing, little dreamming that For¬
rest was on the Rome side of
Blaok creek, Col. Streight's entire
oommand were themselves forced to
surrender. No wonder that Streight,
on learning Forrest's actual strength
exclaimed; Tm sold. 1 Emma Sansom
must havo been an exceedingly beau -
tiful girl. One of her former blonde lovers with
describes her as a lovely
clear sparkling bine eyes medium and flowing height,

Major and the Cat.
A gentleman in this city owns a fine
hirgo dog named Major. Major's ha¬
tred of a cat appears to bo deep-seated
and ho will kill all that comes in his
way, aud will often go out of his way
to veut his spito on his enemies. His
master's wife had a cat which slio de¬
termined Major should not harm, and
she took great pains to impress the
big brute with this idea. Sho would
take puss in her arms, carry her up
to the dog, and while stroking and
petting her would talic to her enemy
reprovingly. The intelligent dog
seemed to understand every word she
said, but for all that he would Keep his
eyes fasteued upon puss witii a long¬
ing and hungry Ioqk, as though anx¬
ious to bring the prossure of his pon¬
derous jaws to bear upon her spinal
column. But his mistress conquered
and made him understand that bo
must live on friendly terms with
puss. More than onco ho lmd been
watchiug the cat with a Iook of evil
intent, but out of respect to his mis¬
tress bo conquered his nature, and
would throw himself upon the ground
with a sigh expressive of deep disgust
at tho situation. The cat was dis¬
posed to be ofl friondly terms with
her enemy, but Major would not toler¬
ate the slightest familiarity. When¬
ever puss approached him ho would
got up and go away with melancholy
ly Iooks, which seemed to say: ‘Pm
dying to Kill yon, and its doggone
bard Iuck that 1 can‘t do it.' Thus
matters wont on for some months,
and puss began to incur tho displeas¬
ure of her mistress by sncaiving up
stairs at every opportunity and max¬
ing trouble by cnrling herself up and
taxing naps on tho snowy counter¬
panes and doing such other untidy
acts as would naturally arouso tho iro
of a neat housekeeper. Ono morning
the lady told her husband that the
cat was getting troublesome, t hat sho
guessed it would have to be Killed. A
few minutes later a rush and |i strag¬
gling noise was heard, and an the
Indy of the house hastened to tho
door to See what had happened, Major
wnlKed up to his mistress and laid at
her feet the dead body of puss, and
then loomed up with an air of triumph
and wagged his tail with intense sat¬
isfaction. He had heard his mistress
express the wish that puss might be
killed, and this so in consonance with
bis own feelings that he went light
out and finished the job. Major re¬

The Young Men of the South.
In one of his recent lotters to tho
Detroit Free Tress,Mr. John M. Lewis
better known as the Western humor¬
ist, ‘M. Quad/ who lias achieved
great reputation as tho author of
‘Bijab/has this to say in a paragraph
under tho above caption:
‘One who has visited tho principal
cities and towns of Alabama,
Georgia, South and North Carolina
must havo a fair idea of what tho
young menare doing. According to
to some Northern writers* they spend,
their time in drinking, card playing,
horse racing and loafing. Let mo say
that in Atlanta, Augusta, Macon,
Charleston, Savannah, Montgomery,
etc.the number of young men in storo
offices is fully equal to tho number in
any Northern city you can name, tak¬
ing population into account. In a four
weeks trip in tho South I did not see
one single young man drunk. I did
not see a game cards or a ho'so raoe.
I did not here a dispute. I found them
everywhere—I talked with hundreds—
and in every case I found them study¬
ing law or medicine—keeping books—
behind counters/—out in the fields with
their coats off. They not only work,
but they are ambitious. The young
men of the South are not only doing
fully as well as the young men of the
North, bnt in many cases they are dos
ing far better, I found scores of them
making money hand over hand by
their own unaided efforts jscores more,
with bright prospects ahead. Ho
who asserts that they shirk labor
wrongs them. He who asserts that
they drink or gamble more than tfc*
same number of young men iu th*
North, is reckless ot facts. Ther*
may be black sheep among them, kill
taxen—aa-a-whole, they are genteel
courteous, hard working and anxious
to secure places of high standing. 11
