An Uncommon Lover’s Quarrel.
“My harp is all out of tune; the pi- j
ano is discordant; the canaries pipe a
shrill whistle instead of their soft notes ;
and it rains—”
“ And what, child, said the pleasant
voice ol Aunt Mary Henman, as she
examined the countenance of her niece.
“ And I wish I was dead, or I had
never been born, or something, I sea ce
ly know what” and Lena Wood’s beau
tiful lips were pouten, and a strange
cloud of sulliness and dissatisfaction
hung portcntiously over the fresh young
face.
“ I dislike very much, Lena, to hear
such remarks as these you have uttered
from her lips ; much more from yours.
Life is not all sunshine and sweetness ;
it remains with us, as God-loving, God
forbearing individuals, to be content
with the part assigned to us, and live it
out patiently.
“ Oh, yes, that is very nice to talk
about, but suppose one wasn’t given any
patience to start with ? Does a body
possess a little root or slip of anything,
why, one can cultivate it, of course, pa
tience can’t be manufactured.
Harvey is all the time lecturing me.
If it be necessary to find so much fault
now, the probabilities are we shall never
be happy, for I cannot ar and will not en
dure so much badgering. I told him
so last night, and gave him back our
engagement ring,” and- Lena held up
her forefinger dubiously; and told him
never to come near me again. I vow I
won’t be everlastingly talked to; so
there !”
“ You have trifled, with on ■ of
the noblest men made ; thrown
away the costliest pearl he ever offered
you. Lena. lam astonished.”
“Oh, Mercy, if this isn’t tedious!
You talk, Auntie, like a crazy person.
Do you imagine, for a moment, that I
court this everlasting humduinmirig I
am compelled to listen to, at home and
abroad, from relatives, friends, and lover ?
Do you suppose that I do not, from the
bottom of my heart deplore the fate that
sent uie into this breathing world, scarce
half made up, and that so lamely un
fashionable that dogs bark at me as I
halt by them ? Richard, I suppose was
talking about the bump on his back ; 1
refer to my mental and moral deformity.
Some way everybody seems to be at lib
erty to descant on my infirmities and
right before my eyes too. I didn’t tel)
Harvey to make love to me, and run af
ter me two years before he got a chance
to whisper a word of it. He has got
impudence, there is no mistake about
that.”
“ What is the trouble between you
and Harvey, my dear,” inquired Auntie,
endeavoring to calm herself, for Lena
was dear to her. Ever since the
death of her parents, some five years
previous, she had had the care of her
nieCe. She was keenly alive to the
faults of the girl, but believed that time
experience and love of the really wor
thy man to whom Lena was betrothed
would round off the rough edges of her
character, »nd bring out like gold from
the refiner’s fire, the traits of true no
bility she knew she possessed.
“ Like the majority of quarrels,” re
plied Lena, “ it. originated from nothing.
I said I hated beggars, that’s all.”
“ Why, Lena, you arc deranged ?”
said Auntie, who could with difficulty
repress a smile. “ You of all others to
say such a thing ! You who keep the
kitchen filled with the objects of your
charity. How could you tell such a
falsehood ?”
“ Well, the other night, just as we
were out of the carriage at Pike’s, 1 was
in a hurry, I knew the opera had com
menced, a forlorn old beggar, his breath
smelling of whisky, stopped us. It was
awful cold, and Ilarvey kept me stand
ing a minute of two on the walk, while
he fumbled in his pockets for money to
give the old vagabond to buy more rum
with. I was vexed and cold ; and if
he had left me alone and not kept ask
ing questions, I should not have said the
awful words. 1 declared it would luve
altered the case had the man not been a
drunkard. Harvey insisted that society
was to blame for that sin ; and he as a
member of it, would never turn his back
upon a man who he knew was cold and
hungry. He could not abolish rumsell
ing, but a starving drunkard was just
as much an object of charity as a starv
ing minister. Good gracious didn’t his
eyes snap though. He is as much too
radical as lam too willful. Then I said
I hated beggars any way.”
Aunt Mary could say nothing, advise
nothing. She saw that, by a little judi
cious management on the part of the
lover, this grand finale might have been
averted; but men are not natural diplo
matists. And so, with a careless observa
tion in regard to the weather, she with
drew. Several days passed, and not a
word from Harvey.
“ Oh, dear how lonely that poor little
finger looks,” said Lena one day softly
to herself. “It has been there long
enough to leave a ridge too. I reckon
the next girl that Harvey Crittenden is
i engaged to will have an easier time than
I have. He has learned a lesson from
this as true as you live, Lena. It’s al
ways the wav with men ; one woman has
to be victimized in order that another
! may be decently treated ! Well, lam
i glad for somebody. Harvey is a glori
ous fellow sometimes. If that fellow
don’t send home my photograph by to
morrow, I’m just going to send for it.
And now, Lena Wood, if you make a
fool of yourself another minute longer,
j for any biped under the sun, you de
serve the rack. You do hate beggars j
stick to it ; and Lena surveyed her.

self in the mirror, and promised she
would.
‘sVliss Lena,” said the cook, breaking
in upon her r verie, “ there is an old
man down to the door who wants some
thing to eat. and a light job of work.
Och, he’s a sick looking old fellar en
tirely. Will ye be after coining down,
Miss ?”
“ Another beggar !” mused Lena
“ I'm thankful Auntie is out, or I
might receive a lecture on the beauties
of consistency. I wasn’t born witlrany
of that either. “ Well,” said she open
ing the back area door, where the old
man stood. “ What can Ido for you ?
Cook tells nve you are ill and hungry,
and in want!”
“ Yes, Miss,” said the old bundle of
tatters, in low, trembling tones.
“ What is the matter with you ?” and
Lena’s voice was full of sympathy.
“ Oh ! nothing but the rheumatiz.—
I’ve had it all winter. It’s all that I
can do to take a step. Rut for the love
< f mercy, give me a mouthful to eat; I’m
almost starved.”
“ Come into the kitchen, and you’ll
see what we can do for you. Cook, L r et
him a warm cup of coffee, and whatever
you have got good to eat. Would you
like to wash your'face and hands?”
“ Oh, yes, ma’am, if you please,” re
plied the beggar. ** I was trying to put
in some coal for the folks below, but I
was obliged to leave it; I hadn’t got the
strength.”
Lena, with her own hands, placed a
basin of water, soap, and towels before
him; poured out his coffee, and set the
chair to the kitchen table.
Now eat just as much as you can,”
said she, fillii.g his plate. “ How much
coal did you put in for the family be
low ?”
“ Oh, about half a ton.”
“ Well, and didn’t they pay you for
that?”
“ Oh, no, madam,” he replied. “ How
could I expect it when I didn’t do as I
! agreed to.”
“ Well, that man deserves hanging.
I’d take my affidavit that it was a man
who made that bargain, and allowed you,
hungry and sick, to leave without being
paid ; no woman would serve a human
being so scury a trick.
I The old man pressed his hand to his
face a moment, and then replied :
“ Yes, my dear Mias, it was a man ;
but then there are very few like you in
the world.”
“ That’s so,” she replied, and burst
into a hearty laugh. -“Very few like
me, you poor sick old man ; very few
like me indeed. You wouldn't believe
now that I hate beggars, would you?
That I have no patience with anybody
who is poor, ill. or unfortunate ? Oh,
pshaw, what in the world am I talking
about? Why, bless your soul, good
man, you haven’t eaten enough to keep
a mouse alive. Now tell me about this
rheumatism. Where docs it trouble
you ?”
“In my knees, Miss,” and the old
man again hid his face in his hands.
“Go to my closet,” said she to the
servant, “ bring me that big bottle of
liniment. I’ll give them a real good
rubbing myself, and then you can take
the bottle home aud bathe them two or
three times a day Rheumatism must
be terrible.”
Bridget returned with the desired ar
ticle, and Lena took a seat on floor.
“ Oh, no, Miss,” said the beggar, a
strange tremor in his voice. “ I can
not permit that.”
“ Why, you old goose,” said Lena,
laughing, “I can do more good in five
minutes than you can do yourself in an
hour. lam used to those things, I've
a dozen on my sick list now, for whom
I have to perform just such offices.—
What are your hands made for, if they
are not to do good with ? Come,
don’t be so foolish !”
“ Lena, Lena, Lena,” and in the
twinkling of an eye, the old gray wig,
whiskers and eyebrows were removed,
and Harvey Crittenden, his face irradi
ated with joy, love, and a peculiar soul
satisfaction which Lena had never
seen there before, confronted her. Le
na was like one stunned for a moment,
but quickly rallied, and as soon as she
could find breath between the kisses
showered upon her, remarked saucily :
“ Humph ! Don’t you suppose I
knew it was you all the time ? Just
doing it to show off, that’s all.”
But a genuine burst of tears told a
different story ; and Lena clasped fondly
in her lover’s arms, sobbed out her joy
and repentance. Lena is now a wife,
but au allusion to the rheumatism or a
bottle of liniment, is quite sufficient to
send her blushing from the room.

Grand I„odge F. A. M, in Georgia.
[Special 6f the Morning i
» NewsA
Macon, Georgia, |
November 2, 1871. j
The Grand Lodge, F. A. M.'. which
has been in session here for the past
three days,.closed its labors and adjourn
ed this afternooDj after an exceedingly
‘ pleasant and harmonious, though labo- ■
rious meeting. * j
The Order has never been in a more
healthy and flourishing condition than
at present. While the number of ad
missions have not been so great as in
other years, there seems to be a more de
termined effort on the part of Lodges
to receive nothing but good material,
and a majority of those admitted during
the past year are good men and true —
men who are an ornament to society in
the section in which they live, and who
will be worthy and useful members of the
Fraternity. There are two hundred and
seventy-three chartered Lodges in the
State, with a contributing membership
of some seventeen or eighteen thou
sand.
From conversation with well informed
Masons from various parts of the State,
we are of opinion that Masonry in Geor
gia is in a more healthy and solid con
dition than ever before. We feel more
fully convinced of this fact when we
see numbers of the best and purest men
in the State devoting much of their time
to the advancement of oiH principles—
men, too, who, though not really old in
years, are old members of the Grand
Lodge. Judge Saui’l Lawrence, J. M.
Mobley, James E. Wells, Simon Holt,
A. W. Redding, G. W. Adams, D. E.
Rutler, 11. S. Turner, and a host of oth
ers, who, though growing aged in the
cause, are still young in their love for
and devotion to the principles of the
Order. With such men as these to aid
and assist those who are younger, and
whose hearts burn wish love for the sa
cred institutions, we feel that Freema
sonry is indeed progressive, and that a
bright future awaits us.
The reports in relation to the South
ern Masonic Female Qoltege, which is
located at Covington, Newton county,
were very gratifying and encouraging.
This institution is firmly established on
a sure footing, and is doing much good
throughout the State, but more espe
cially in the immediate vicinity in which
it is located. It bids fair soon to ‘ rank
second to none in the South. This col
lege is the child oUthe Grand Lodgfe of
Georgia—created, fostered and protect
ed by it—always under its own immedi
ate supervision, and in which every Ma
son in Georgia is directly interested. 1
think that every member of the Frater
nity should feel proud of it, and labor
with renewed zeal for its advancement
and psosperity.
- Another matter of much interest be
fore the Grand Lodge, was the appoint
ment of a committee to revise the Grand
Constitution Such a work is essential
ly necessary. Since the adoption of the
present Constitution many amendments
and edicts have been passed, and unless
some action is soon had to bring all
these together, we shall be, as in times
past, almost in utter darkness as to
what the real law is upon many subjects
that might be brought before us.
The session of the Grand Lodge
closed as it opened, with peace, harmony
and good will presiding, and all the
members leaving with joyous anticipa
tions of a bright future for Freemasonry
in Georgia.
The report of the Committee on For
eign Correspondence is full aud very
satisfactory to the Grand Lodge, and
should be gratifying and useful to the
Fraternity at large. I have no time at
present to review it. It is from the pen
of J. Emmet Blackshear, R. W. Grand
Secretary, and is well worthy a close
examination by every Mason.
Yours truly, “Fifty-Four,”
Alice Cary's Only Love.
In the profoundest sense, Alice Cary
never loved but once. The man whom
she loved is still alive; yet gossip, with
its keenest scent, has never found or
named him. With all her fullness of
affection, hers was an eclectic and soli
tary soul. He who by the very patent
of his being was more to her than any
other mortal could be might pass from
her life, but no other could ever take
his place. A proud and prosperous fam
ily brought all their pride and power
to bear on a son to prevent his marrying
a girl uneducated, rustic, and poor. “ I
waited for one who never came back,”
she said. “ Yet I believed lie would
come till [ read in a paper his marriage
to another. Can you think what life
would be, loving one. waiting for one
who would never come !”
He did come at last. I saw him.—
llis wife had died. Alice was dying.
The gray-haired man sat down beside the
gray-haired woman. Life had dealt
prosperously with him, as it is wont
with men. Suffering and d:ath had
token all from her save the lustre of her
wonderous eyes. From her wan and
wasted face they shoue upon him full of
tenderness aud youth. Thus they met
with life behind them —they who parted
plighted lovers when life was young.—
He was the man whom she forgave for
her blighted and weary life, with a smile
of parting as divine as ever lit the face
of woman.— htd^/vnUent.

A Uniform lMvorre Law—New
JUoveiiKiit of the Anti-SufiVago
AY omen.
{A utlmiujon (UCU-ol S]»eciiil Dispatch to the
New York Herald.]
A rather remarkable movement has
,beeu put *oll lout here by Mrs. Admiral
Dahjjgren, Mrs. Gen. Shermau, aud the
other ladies.jiilHi are taking an active
port in woman's suffrage, tin:
seuemu fipipg nothing less than to com
pletely auMhuik the suffragists of the
Tilton-IYooClluxh school. These ladies
do not believe that the Constitution as
it now stands gives to women the right
to vote, and they are determined to de
prive the others of their so-called Six
teenth Amendment, by occupying the
ground themselves with an amendment
providing for a uniform system of di
vorce. Their principal argument in fa
vor of this new measure is that if the
courts in other States are obliged to re
cognize Indiana divorces as valid, though
they are generally obtained by fraud,
the tribunals of that State virtually ab
sorb the whole divorce busiuess of the
country and imperil the property and
marital rights of all womeu from Maine
to California. This, they think, makes
the question of such national import
ance as to require the interference of
Congress under Constitutional safe
guards; and they desire the Constitu
tional provision they are seeking to he
called the “ Sixteenth Amendment.—
They are going to work like real high
born ladies to encompass the ends, and
design having their measure first intro
duced into the Senate rather than the
House, since the former is a body of
much more decorum and dignity than
the latter. What is more, Mr. Trum
bull is to be asked to take charge of the
amendment, both as Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee and as the purest
and best of the Senators of the United
States. It is believed that this measure
will secure for American women all the
rights they care to.exrrcise in public af
fairs and saVe them from the wrongs of
such pernicious legislation as is the dis
grace of Indiana. The flank movement
on the suffragists by appropriating then
favorite amendment is regarded as a
good strokeund one that will put’ at rest
the agitation of a question which a few
ambitious women, by driving its best
friends into obscurity, have made disre
putably. It is not intended to make
the "amendment too radical, and it: is
only fenied that it may he defeated by the
promoters of so-called reform ovcrload
ing it.aud kiliiugL it. A lively
mage" among 4 hoc female politicians is ex
pected, and the movement cannot fail to
.add new features to that remarkable
lobby in which women play such varied
and important parts.
Yoptlouism in Louisiana.
• The Planter's Banner says :
The conjuring mania seems to be on
the increase among the black people of
St. Mary, and along the Teche in Lou
isiana. Though one of the most foolish
things on earth, the negroes have an
unshaken confidence in it. Any old
rough looking negro, with an old bag
containing hones, hair, lizard heads,and
other old ends of traps and trash in
keeping with a wild African imagination,
can pass himslf off as a conjurer, and
the negroes are all afraid of him. He
pretends to have power to put spells up
on other negroes, sickness, insanity, de
lusions and death at his will. If any
negro is sick, and the disease is a little
odd in its symptoms, the wild fancy of
the negro immediately attributes the
illness to Yoodouism.
It is astonishing to notice the alarm
which these colored imposters create
among those of their own race. The
cunning of some of these conjurers is
often remarkable. Last season, one of
them collected some living lizzards, and
attending a YModoued patient, pretend
ed to take one of these reptiles Rom
her arm He would allow no one to
see him do it, but as soon as the act was
done, he sent to the field, and the hands
left their plows, and rushed to the quar
tets to see the remarkable lizard which
had just been extracted from the arm
of the wotinui who for weeks had not
been able to do,anything on account of
the horrid infirmity inflicted upon her
a conjurer.
The same crafty conjurer made a prac
tice of collecting the youngest alligators
he could find in the swamps, and using
them for the same purpose" as he did the
lizzards.
So far as we can learn, all the genu
ine pure blooded Africans believe in V oo
douisrn to a greater or less extent. It
is a part of their nature, inherited from
their African ancestors, and it will go
down to their posterity through a thou
sand generations, if the race docs not
become extinct.
