There was a brightness, a freshness rnd glow about Annie Breton that won f.tjr>budy over to her before ,bey were aware of’ if. It was curb us to note that everybody agreed in one thing; that she was not a beauty, and could not be termed pretty. Come to analyze bur— to measure the width between her eye , length of her nose, proportions of her mouth, complextion, hair—really there was not a anugle remarkable feature.—■ What it was that lasctnated every - one who came id contact with her few ci>uld tell. As for Annie herself the cliieF charui of all was revealed in the i’ae that she was wholly uhconcious of In r charms So, when Alien McDonald—* young Allen the wealthiest mun in the comity —laid his lamia, h s elegaut es tabhahmentr and their owur at her feet oue afternoon in October on tne russet colored leaves, no oue was more sur pristd tbau Miss Breton. Stop? I wiil do her the justic to say that site ws up opined for evidences of friend- riendahi[) ; she had not thought he entertau ed the idea uf making her his wife. Her surprise was transient, carefully c necaled. He s;;w that tlie "dewy brightness of her face was brightened a trifle, that was all. W ith ibe self-pos. sc.sion and gt ace of a queen, Missßre ton asked 'time to consider.” And Mr McDonald was compelled to be content with that answer. 1 o say that the young utm was ill at. ease, mortified, would scarcely convey the truth. He was angry with himself for risking a refus al Allen had a confidante. To him he revealed the - troth. Unfortunately for him ho selected the lust place in 'the world fora private cm v-ei-ut ion . The frtcud* met in a photographer's gallery and in the absence of the artist this oc cured : • ‘ “ T Mos it occur to, you there uiay be a riva * said the L iotid. '■ * “I don’t cquceive v.ho it'cou’d be.’' replied Allen • “'Ytiu can rah over .her acquaintances and friends hi year mind ” j “There is no xme better acquainted with her than myself, Ihi&I sun aware of. Stop ! Yes, there is a fellow—you, don’t kuotv htch—a carpftntcr, dr some thing of that sort, named Lane.*' “AVho by the way,has achieved dis tinction as an architect They say he is boun Ito make Jvi way'. *1 4 ; gc eay it is the same and young Hatherton laughed at his friend’s lengthening lace Allen eflected. it would be mortify ing, isi leed, to be outstripped by a p<or young mec banic ; he with an income ofS7,OUO % year. ’“I see it disturbs you. Have a caic, my bo “I’ll wager you my ponie3 against a pair ••!’ gloves—any thing you jdease that I win the day, ’ said Allen hot ly. j * “0 ! don’t bo offended, only dm t De too sure.” “Will you bet ?” “Since you presist, yes.” “Hone. Shake on that.' 1 “With all iny heart, oid fellow,and, I hope you’ll win.” “It s a go.” Had he known that he had a listener and that the listener the subject of their discussion, he would have been less confidant. . -For in the Indus’watt* ing room beyond, Annie Bre on lifted a finger waruinglv, as at her friend. A puff of air j; a. chance lu demerit nn the part of fheyotmg men might have revealed the young ladies Miss Allson put her Laudkerchief to hei lips, and stifled a v laugh Again Anuie’s finger was held up waru ingfy. “Be still. It will be very awkward if they see us here.’'- * Luckily the operator entered at that moment, and thus relieved them of their suspense. “ye will say nothing about it,” said Annie. “At the mint time I will pun ish him." . * . “And Ihrqvf away (be bef,t catch in h e county.” CALHOUN, GA.. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1877. “That for the best ‘catch/ as you call him ” Really, Miss Breton looked su perb at (hat moment, “As if money could ever weigh against braius r decen cy, or love.” “My dear, you and I know a host who are dying* tf be honored by such mention." “There is no accounting for tastes. Give me n man who ca- keep bis own counsel, ITun wno is not a fool." •It #o(hetiftc# hwpperns—it e4ien hap pens—that a woman's chance for matri monial advancement arc fl ing together Breton’s experience. Tne very next morning Arthur Lane called iu person, und proposed in f manner that proved? to her that to him the decision was a question f momentous importance. He was a mau of deep feeling, unde monstative hut his embarrassment, his very*stlence pleaded for.him as h* departed with the question still unset tled. And no.y Miss Br tonkegh oto fhide herself, and to marvel hot she could have entertained Mr. McDonald's prop osition. This man’s manner was .o dif ference. Iu short, although the juoiv lOif’s mail would aunounce his fate; she sut down then and there, and addre-sed the lover a Dote bearing a single word, • Ves/’ and rose from h t writing wkh spa- kliug eyes and flushed cheeks. In due tuno Allen McDonald applied lor bis answer. He was vain enough to think’that a little time was ail that was needed No woman, he argued, could reflect upon his proposal without sur rendering. No woman would throw away seven thousand a year, especially with such au accomplished handsome, weiUbred appendage as hiuiseli A man struggling for recognition upon the threshold of a profession that required influence us well as a decided talent had no chance with him. Wheu he was announced, Miss Bre ton determined to prevent him from subjecting himself to unnecessary hu miliation She was so charitable ub to credit him with more feeling ibau he possessed. “I have called Miss Breton, lor my answer.” He bowed, reflected au atom of dust from his skeve and aat down. J’hat action froze M issßreton’s syrnpa tli?- ' • ; I almcwt regret that £ did not give it ar. otfte, Mr. McDonald." , „ . “Mister So ! she had not had suf ficient time W hat a fool he was, not to give iter plenty of time. Of course no girl liked the idea of selling herself efn*ap-.‘" s “Mf , dear Mies Breton, allow me to sqy~ror permit me to call you An ne — } y The quiet look she gave him checked tlie speech. He hesitated a moment. “ You sur rJy do not mean —perhaps 1 did n.dfigife you time. Take time Miss Breton.” *. “I have ftOKStdered.” “Andyou, mffan to tell me, MRs Breton—” “That I put my heart in the scale against a pair of ponies valued at two thousand dollars,” kiid Annie with a Curving, lip- '‘Avid I find my heart heavier thau the ponies. The world now says Mrs. Lane uiaue a wise choice. ■> Few men are more re* -pected tliau lie*r husband The lessen did McDonald g*>od. It did much to wards curi g him of his vanity, besides teaching him ocv.cr to bet on woman s love • > New Postal kullngs. i The following are some new postal rulings, which will be of interest to the public : Iron door castings should not goby mail at less than two cents per ounce. The postage on all matter wholly or in i part in writing (except book manuscript passing bet.freeu aut hors and publishers, local ci drop letters, and the U S. p s tal cards) is fixed etthree cents per half ounce or fraction thereof That such matter may be mailed in unsealed en velopes makes no difference in the rate of postage. Papers sene through the mails lor free circulation are liable to postage rates (prepaid),.at one cent for every two ounces. •' ;~f/. In the case of the Wiscontin Green back, which is printed in one county in Wisconsin, and has its office of pub* 1 teati n in another county of that State, th-t Post-office i)epai tment decides that copies of said papers are not entitled to free transmission in the mails to sub scribers in either county Copies of newspapers not deigned f<ir regular subscribers can not be sent by tnnii in bulk, with t\ e names of rfie par ties for whom the papers are intended respectively written upon them without subjecting the entire package, to letter runs ol postage. Postage stamps were created fi*r the purpose of prepaying postage on mail matter, and a Postmaster is not comped d by any postal law or regulation to receive them in payment • f postage due on mail matter forwarded to his of fice for delivery. Five cent, three cent and one cent pieces are a legal tender at their nominal value for any amount not exceeding twenty-five cents in any one payment, and Postmaster will uot hesi late hereafter to receive them in pay ment for postage stamps, where the auiout tendered does not exceed twenty five cents. Copies of papers on file, by the De partment, are not furnished to applicants except ou certificate of counsel that the tame are required in a suit iclually pending in a court of record. WHERE NOAH^LANDED. The magnificent View Wnich an Englishman Beheld From the Top of'Arnrat. The London Spectator, speaking of the ree nt successful ascentioo of Mount Ararat by Mr Bryce, says : “Mr. Bryce has given to the world a wonderful word.picture of that amazing and awfuT spectacle, 4 of that ‘Tandercape which is now what it was before man crept forth on the earth, and mountain which stand about the same as they when tho*volcanic fires that piled tGvm up were long ago extinguished but he could not tell us what the awe and yearning that came over him in that tremendous solitude, where “Njitiiresits enthroned serenely c<ilm, aud speak to her children only in the storm aud earth quake that level their dwellings in the dust” . “Hi* vision ranged tjyqqe£ panse within whose bounds are the chain of the Caucasus; drarfy made out, but l£a3beek,-Elbrus and tige mountain* of ikghestutt visible, with” the *line of the Caspian sea upon the horizon ; to the north, huge extinct volcano of Ala Goz. whose three neaks inclose a enow., patched ci-ater, the dim plain of Erivan with the silver river running through it; westward, the Taurus ranges ; and northwest, the upper valley of xes, to be traced as far as Aoi, the an cient capital of the Armennian the great Russian fortress of AJexandro pol, and the hill where Kars peaceful enough when the bravo climb*- er look out upon this wonderful specta ole. “While it was growing upon him, not indeed in magnificence but in compre hensibility, “while the eye was still unsatisfied with gaziug,” tne mist cu - tarn dropped, enfolded him, and shut him up alone with the awful mountian top. “The awe that fell upon me," he says, “with the sense of utter loneliness made time pass unnoticed, and I might nave lingered long in a sort of dream bad not ihe piercing eold that thrill ed through every limb recalled me to a sense of the risks delay might involve." The descent was made in safety, but by the lime Mr Bryce came-in sight of the spot, yet far off, where his friend bad halted, “the sun had got behind the southwestern ridire of the mountain,and his gigantic figure bad fallen aerrs&the great Araxes pain below, w'hile the red motiniahia of Media,far itt-fV southeast, stiil glowed reddnr than ever, turned swiftly to a splendid purple in the dying ligh ” “At six o’clock he reached - the bi vouac and rejoiced his friend, wh have look with strange feelings into the eyes which had looked upon such won drous sights since sunrise. Three days later Mr. Bryce was at the American aaona-try of Elc-’miadzin, near the northern foot of Ararat, and was pre sen ted to the archimandrite who rules the house. ‘This Englishman’ said the Aexenian gentleman who was acting an interpre.er has’ ascended to to th-i top of Massi* ’ The venerable smiled sweetly, and replied ‘That can not be. no one has ever beeu there.— It is impossible.’ ' 'wv** , 4/ yj/T & A Stray Youth. The LogknspoJ (Ind.) Pharos says: On the 11th of last August Edwin R Taber, a lid fourteen years of age, five feet high, square build, larg blue eyes, freckled lace, uneven teeth and of po lite and uvr:l.y bearing left his father’s home in thisAity He was afterward seen it Lafayette, Indiana, bn* before bis "each the he had taken his departure. Paul Taber, E*q , the father of the ; hoy, is a worthy and highly respectabl; cilizen of this city. While he and bb* excellent wife were mourning over the \ty who had causelessly strayed from his comfortable home a still greater affliction was visited upon them. In one four of their remaining chil dren died of diphtheria, three of whom were burjed-.iu pne day. It is believed that if the affliction that has fallen up* on his fond parents was known to the absenti£ddy he would rctu p n at once to lofe and it is in that hope that we respectfully ask our exchanges to copy ..v Kotuauisni anil the Negro. AYehpishop Purees,of Cincinnati,says that - the negro children of the South must be gathered into the RotoanCath olic Church, urges the establishment of Catholic schools for them throughout the Southe-n-S ates. If the proposi tion were to be vofed on whether or not the public school system should be ex tended and -developed in the South, nineteen out of every twenty Roman Catholic votes would be cast against it. | It is not the general education and erw lightemnent of the colored race that the Catholics desire, but their conversion to Catholicism, ’this interest in the negro race is wholly of recent growth. It dates Rom the day that the freedman became a voter. A large number of Catholic priests are now quietly at work among the negroes n various Southern cities, and two hundred colored boys have'been sent over to Rome to be ed ; ueated in the Jesuits’ College for the priesthood.— Cleveland Leader A drunken legislator said that he was a “self-made man” “That fact” said Mr. G-eeley, ‘'relieves the Al ' mighty of a great responsibility.” His “TeleplMMMs” A Detroit saleot) keeper bjis sufferod much pecuniary loss at the hands of dead-beats,, and has rcaked his brain for a remedy.

Labor. Labor, honest labor, is mighty and beautiful. Activity is the ruling ele ment of liie and its highe&t relish. — Luxuries and c uquest are the result of labor ; we can imagine nothing without it. The noblest man on earth is he who put his hand cheerfully and proud'y to labor. Labor is a business and ordinance of God. Suspend labor, and where s the glory and pomp of the earth— the fruit, fields and palaces, and the fash ioning of matter, for which men strive and war ? Let the labor scorner look to himself,and learn what are the trophies. From the crowo of his bead to the sole of his foot, (unless he is a Oarib, naked as tne beast,) he in the debtor and slave of toil. The labor which he scorns has tricked him into the statute and appeal* ance of a tnau. Where he gets las gar menting and equipage? Let labor an swer. Labor, which makes music in the mine anu the furrow and the forge —oil,scorn labor, do you, man who nev er yet earned a morsel of bread ? La bor pities yon proud fool, and liugf,s vou to scorn. You shall pass to dust, f'orgoiton, but labor will live on forever glorious in its conquests and monu ments. — Appleton's Journal. The Cry of Envy, The successful man is always a tar get for the arrows of envy. There’s al ways somebody at band to tell how poor, how no aceouut he used to be, and to express wonder and astonishment that he should ever “amounted to anything.” The fact that tie has proved himself a success,it seems to make some < f his ac quaintances feel that they have been robbed in a manner, and that by so much as he has risen above in position or influence, by so much, they are dwarfed. They will not admit tue fact that he has justly earned his position but attribute it all to some streak of “luck." Now the truth is that there are very few wen ol note before the publio who have not fought their way up throuph povertv obscurity, disaster and couutlcss opposition of adverse cir -cutnslaoces In fact almost everybody “that is anybody” ha? had to fi.-ht for his crowD, and when he gets it should uot everybody rejoice wi-'h him? 1) un less there’s many a rough diitnond that is never polished and set, bet lies buri ed hi mountain gulches covered with mud: many a “mute inglorious Milton” in quiet country church yard ; but the world is flashing with with light froi> diamonds that are set,ringing with uitr ody from Miltons that re not mute.
