Going Courting.
One of the chief co upensations of
a woman’B life is found in the fact
that she does not have “to go a-courL
ing.”
It must be confessed that in, these
days, the m* dern belle does her share
ot wooing but she does not have to
dress up in a stiff collar, and a pair of
boots two sizes too small for her. and
walk to the cannon’s mouth of her ina
morata’s family consisting of father,and
mother, and grandmother, and maiden
aunt, a half dozen brothers anu sisters
and inquire in trembling voice : “Is
Miss Arauiinta at home?”
Whenever a man goes a.-courting eve
rybody seems to know all about it. His
demeanor tells the observant spectator
the business be is intent upon. lie
might just a3 well placard himself with
the legend—“l go a-courting.” Eve
rybody is cognizant of it, and looks
knowing and asks him if the northern
lights were bright last night about one
o’clock,” and "how the market is for
kerosene up to Daddy Brown’s” a> and a
score of other questiurs equally out of
place.
We have in our family, at present a
young man is deeply, we trust sue
cessl'uliy. engaged in going courting;
and our warmest sympathies have been
aroused for him.
When Sunday afternoon arrives it is
plain vo see that something is about to
happen.
Our young man is fidgety, and
noncommunicative, and cannot sit in
one place half a minute at a time He
is continually interviewing his watch,
and comparing i*. with the old eight
day coffin shaped clock in the corner.—
He looks in ‘.he glass frequently, and
draws his forehead locks back and then
forward and combs them up and pats
them down, and is unsatisfied with the
effect throughout.
The smell of bay-rum and bergamot
is plainly apparent. When he shakes
out his handkerchief musk is percepti
ble. His boots shine like mirrors
’ here is a taint odor of cardeoun seeds
in his breath when he yawns.
lie smooths his budding mustache,
those affectionate little pets, and f. els
his invisible side whiskers continually,to
make sute they are still there a
fact which is not established to
outside observers by the sense of
sight.
He (ties on all his stock of neck
ties without finding what is just the
thing; and he has spasms of* brushing
his eoa., that c mimetic* with violence
and at last till one grows nervous for
fear the broad-cloth will never be able
to stand it.
He declines soup that day at. dinner
He says it is because he d< esn’t feel
hungry, but we know it is because there
is onions in it, and onions, as everyone
knows, do not sweeten one’s breath to
any extent.
Ifsp iker to on a sadden he start
and blushes, aod looks as guilty :s it
tie hid been caught stealing something
and direc ly one does lot speak to him.
he goes back to the delightful occupa
tion o‘‘-taring at nothing and wailing
for 1 1 hour-hand to cricp around t<-
Si l.
At seven he se s forth clean and ti
dy from top to toe, looking precisely
as if he had just stepped out of a baud*
box.
insyx a hv and in imagination we
follow him
Affairs are tot fully undeisteod be
tween him am' Mary Jane He is stiil
in • ‘ate ofanxiou*, thou rh somewhat
t ssful uncertainty. He dies not, feel
qui whether she means business
or is flirting with him.
Consequent.y he is somewhat tim
id.
He steps through the gate into Man
Jane’s parental domicile with inward
trepidation. He is not entirely certain
that his vi.-ite are welcome. He won
ders if the old folks will be at home, or
if they will have hud the grace to go to
evening meeting and leave the coast
clear.
He devoutly that these two
little brothers are in bod for they are
the torment of his life since he ha
uoen trying to court Mary Jane
and if that "other fellow” is there be
mentally vows that he’ll know what such
carrying-on means—yes,that he will.
B. the time he reaches the doorsteps
he is in a cold sweat, and almost wishes
he had’nt come. He rings the bell
with a nervous jerk, and then feeds -in
insane desie to rush off - down the street
without waiting for any one to answer
the summons But he hears footsteps
within, and knows that it is too !."te to
make good his escape. So he remains,
and puts a bo’d face on it. and f ids
those side whiskers, and smiles hopeful
ly. and says to himself that he does
hope Mary Jane will come to the dooi
herself, and not send that grinning ser
vant g'rl who giggles in his face, and
then crams her apron into her mouth to
stop further developments when ho in
quires. “Is Miss Mary at home?”
After hp gets inside the house he is
siill in a state of perrdox’ty. Will his
welcome be warm enough to admit of
his removing his overcoat and leaving
it in the hall ? or will the state of the
atmosphere be such that he will feel
chilly round his heart with his overcoat
on ?
When he is seated in the parlor, the
problem he is called upon to solve K
what is he to do with his feet and
hands ?
His hands he can put in his pocket
when every thing else fails, and he
most devoutly wishes that he could dis
pose of his feet in the same manner.
What shall he talk about after the
Truth Conquers All Things.”
topic of the weather is exhausted. Does
she notice his side whiskers, and think
them becoming? Does she like the way
his hair is parted ? and does she think
a blue necktie becouii ig to him ?
All these vexed questions pass
through his mind,and he sits on a corner
of a chair and looks at her, and thiuks
how charming he is, and would give all
his spare money to rise aud take a seat
beside her on the sofa, where she has
left room for him, and wants him to sit,
no doubt. But then a wiwiian may not
express her mind on such a thing.
His heart siuks as he hears in the
next room the old man’s sonorous
“Ahem ! ahem !” atjd knows by the rat
tling of things generally that the parents
of his love are preparing to retire tu
their bedroom, which joins the parlor
and is separated fy a tbin partition,
which gives au easy passage to sound,
and conveys to ears maternal and pater
ua! every "kiss of youth and love ’he
may give to Mary Jane, and the little
feminine squeak which be knows will
attend every such performance.
Aud he revolves anxiously within
his own mind what diabolical scheme
of vengeance against lovers does possess
the brains of the majority of house cars
penters in this world which induces
them to consruct houses with bed rooms
for old folks adjoining the pallors.
Le trembles every ti jie he hears a
door open anywhere lest those en'ants
terrible may be about to make their ad
vent, and like the mercury ii dogdays,
his heart goes up, as he hears the noisy
tread of their f etas they ascend to the
regions above for their noetural siesta.
And in spite uf all these minor troub
les, and a legion of others besides, ou
young man is happy ; for he is young*
and glouiour of first love is over him
and we suppose he would not dispense
with the pleasure of courting for any
thing ii> the world.— Kate Thorn in N

The ENilifical Outlook.
The New York Herald, in comment

result of Tuesday's election will have
no effect, one way or the other on the
vote of the Southern States, which will
be solid or nearly s- J id. for the Demo
cratic ticket as it would liave been in
any event. The Republicans seem to
concede that the “solid South” is against
them, and it this impression should
be verified it is as certain as the rules

will be defeated if Tilden carrie- ivis

A Brief Discourse.
Text—‘‘There is a way that seemeth
right to man. but the end thereof,’’ etc
We hope it will not be sacrilegious to
quote here this sublime precaution from
Oracles of Divine Truth, as a text to
discourse from in the manner which tol
lows, although in aid of subjects of
somewhat ? similar nature, appertaining
however, to morality.
It may seem right to a man to neg
lect paying his debts for the sake of
lending or speculating upon his money,
but the end thescof is—a bad p; yen as/
ter.
It may seem right to a man to live
beyond his income, but the end thereof
is wretchedness and poverty.
It may seem right to a man to attempt
t live upon the fashions of the times,
but the end thereof is—disgusting to
all sensible folks and ruinous to health,
reputation and poverty.
It may seem right, to a man to at
tempt a livelihood without industry and
economy, but the end thereof is—hun
ger and rags.
It may seem right to a man to keep
constaply borrowing of his neighbors,
and never willing to lend, but the end
thereof is—very cross neighbors.
It may seem right to a man to be
always trumpeting his own fame, hut
the end thereof is—his fame don’t ex.
tend very far.
It. may sem right to a man io trouble
kiaiself veiy much about his neighbors’
business, but the end thereof is—great
negligence of his own.

Persimmon Beer.
A good rif o persimmon is a deliciois
morsel. Where farmers have uone on
their places, they should sot out tre s
and cultivate them as they would t e
pea :h, pear and apple. All fowls aud
animals from a chicken to a cow
cat them greedily’. Whe i washed
through a coarse wire seive they make
delightful bread pics, aud puddings.
When kneaded with wheat bran, and
well baked in pn oven, the b;ead may
be p it away for winter use when want
ed, The following is the receipt which
Mr. Jefferson gave for making the Leer
arid it is the best: Sweet ripe persim
mons mashed and strained, 1 bushel.
Wheat bran half a bushel. IMix well
together, and bake in loaves of conven
ient size. Break them in a clean barrel
and add 12 gallons ol water and two or
three ounces ol hops, which may lit ob
tained at a drug store. Keep the bar
rel in a warm room. As soon as fer
mentation subsides Lottie off the beer,
having good long errks, and place the
tv tiles in a low temperature, and it will
keep and improve for twelve months, if
not drank before, which is likely to
be done This beer when properly
made in a warm room is an exquisitely
.delightful beverage, as the writer knows
from personal trial and txperience. It
contains no alcohol, and it is to the con
noissuer of temperate taste, not inferior
to the fermented juice of the grape.
The ordinary way of making it is
more simple, aid it is relished by all
who use it. A layer of straw is pul in
the botom of the cask on which a suita
ble quantity of the fruit, ve 1 ma bed is
placed, \ and then the cask is fi led
with water. It should stand in a warm
room, .and if the weather is cold former
tatior will be promoted by occasionally
putting a waimstonein the barrel. 'The
addition of a lew honey or
apple peelings, will make the beer more
bi itk Wheat bran always improves
the quality.
Many are fond of locust beer. That
is made in the same way and is im>
proved by tlie addition of apple peel
ings, but it is greatly inferior to the
persimmon beer. In putting away the
beer, made according to Mr. Jefferson’s
plan, jugs may be used insterd of bot
tles, but they must be tightly corked.

The Georgia Election.
As we predicted yesterday liio (Jeers
gia election shows to appreciable lle
publicau opposition. lien A. 11. Col#,
quitt has been chosen Governor by a
majority which patient figuring will
have to place at the proper distance be
tween 40,000 and 70,000 voters. The
Legislature is almost unanimously Dem
ocratic. Under Democatic rule Geor
gia lias advanced to the front rank of pros
perity More negroes own land in Uto. -
gia than in all the rest of the Southern
States put together, and Georgia is the
most pronounced Democatic Southern
State. These two facts explain the pros
perity to all races under Democratic
ule. The people are so forgetful that
only a few can be expected to remember
what the condition o<‘ Georgia was un
der bay. net imposed and bayonet sus
tained Republican rule which was kept
hi power by disfranchisement, It was
m condition of bankruptcy in resources
mdofllayti in society and ol’ g’and
larcery and murder in administration,
flie highest officers were n bbors forgers
highwaymen, murderers and conspira
tors, in the severest legal senses of those
terms. With Democracy have come
peace, order, prosperity, the lull recog
nition of the rights of all, and harmony
between all classes The reason the
South is Democratic is because the most
rudimentary matters which make life
tolerable are imposible usder the sub
version of society which Republicanism
produces. It is a uecsity of human na
ture for Republicanism and rascality
are synonimons terms in the South.
Northern citizens who have traveled
South appreciate this fact. The South
knows it. In time all the north will
know it, for the tiutli is making its own
impression better, deeper, clearer and
further than lies this year. —Brooklyn

Louisiana Coming.
It locks now as though Louisiana
would be one of the solidest States of a
•solid South.” 'The New Orleans Dem
ocrat says the negroes are leaving the
Republican party by hundreds and
thousands and that the Democrats will
carry the State in November, soldiers
or no soldiers, by not less than thirty
thousand majority. ‘Here in Louisi
ana,” it adds,“ the desertion is a per
fect avalanche. In Natchitoches there
are over 1,000 Democratic colored men
enrolled in clubs. In Morehouse Rich
la rid, Rapides. Madison. East Baton Rouge
Pointe Coup,East atid \Y est Feliciana,
they are equally numerous In St Ma
ry’s there is a Democratic colored club
in each ward,and so in many other par
ishes.”
Thi? desertion of the Rad.cal p?rty bv
the negroes comes not from intimidation
<>r coercion in any form, but from the
broken pledges the profligacy and scoun
dreiism of the carpet-baggers and scala
wags who nave heretofore led them on
ly to delude rob, blackmail and swindle
They have voted and rai ed large sum-’
of money for public schools only to
plunder he fund, fool the negro
and wrong and injure him in every
way. This thing has been carried so
far that the honest negroes of the South
now demind a change. And tins
accounts for Packard’s want of negro
troops u to keep the d—nd plantation
niggers from voting the Democratic
ticket,”
