P1NEVILLI Major .Jones's Ol PINEVILLE, Dec. 27.-To Mr.! Thompson: Dear Sir-Crismus is j over, und thc thing is done did! Vou know I told you :n my last letter I , was gwinc to bring Misa M'iry up to I the chalk on Crismus. Well, I done | it, slick as a whistle, though it come mighty nigh bein a >> rious Idsness. ! But I'll teil you all nloii! the whole circumstance. Thc fact i-. I '.- mad? my mind up more'n twenty limes to jest go and i come right out with thc whole bis ness: but whenever 1 got whar she was, and whenever >he looked al me ! with lier wilchiu eyes, and kind o' J blushed at mc, i always felt sort o' ? skeercd and fuinty, and all what I j made up to tull her was forgot, so 1 couldn't think of is to save inc. But you's a married man, Mr. Thompson, sol couldn't tell you nothin about | popin the question, as they call it. It's a mighty great favour to ax of a pretty gall, and to people what aint used to it, it goes monstrous hard, don't it? They say widders don't mind it no morc'u nothin. But I'm makin a transgression, as thc preacher sos. Crismus eve I put on my new suit, and shaved my fase as slick as a smoothiu iron, and after tea went over to old Miss Stallinses. AH soon as I went into thc parler whar they was all scttin round the .'ire, Miss Car lino and Miss Kesiah both laughed right out. "There! there!" ?es they, 'I told you so, I know'd it would bc Joseph." "What's I done, Miss Carline?" ees I. "You come under little sister's chicken bone, and I do believe she know'd you was coin in when she put it over the doro." "No I didn't-1 didn't no such thiDg, now," ses Miss Mary, and her face blushed red all over. "Oh, you needn't deny it," ses Misa Kesiah, "you beh.ng to Joseph now, jest as sure as thor's any (diann iu chicken bones." I know'd that was a first rate chance to aay something, but the dear ?ittlc erecter looked so sorry and kop blushin so, I couldn't say nothin zaetly to the pint! HO I tuck a chair and reached up and tuck down the bone and put it in my pocket. "What are you gwinc to do with thato!d chicken bone now, Major?" ses Miss Mary. "I'm gwinc to keep it as long as 1 live," ses I, "as a Crismus present from thc handsomest gall in Georgia." When I sed that, she blushed worse aud worse. "Aint you shamed, ^Iajcr?" ses she. "Now you ought to givo her a Cris mus gift, Joseph, tc keep all her lire," sed Miss Carline. "Ah," sea old Miss Stallins, "when I was a gall wo used to hang up our stockings-" "Why, mother?" BOB all of'em, "to say stookios right before-" Then I felt a little streaked too, cause they was all blushin as hard as they could. "Highty-tity!" sos the old lady "what monstrous 'finement to bc shore! I'd like to know what harm thcr is in stockins. l'eoplo now-a days is gittin so mealy-mouthed they can't call nothin by its right name, and I don't sec ns they's any better than the old time people was. When I was a gall like you, child, I uso to hang up my stockings and git 'em full of presents." Tho galls keep langhin and blushin. "Never mind." ses Miss Mary, "Majer's got to give me a Crismus gift -won't you, Majer?" "Oh, yes," ses I, "you know I promised you ono." "But I didn't mean that," ses she. "I've got ono for you, what I want you to keep all your life, but it would take a two bushel bag to hold it," ses I. "Oh, that's thc kind," ses she. "But will you promise to keep it as long as you live?" ses I. "Certainly I will, Major." "Monstrous 'finement now-a days- old people don't know nothin about petiteness," said old Miss Stal lins, jest gwinc to sleep with her nit tin in her lap. "Now you hear that, Miss Car line," ses [. "She ses she'll keep it all her life." "Yes, . I will," sos Miss Mary "but what is it?" "Never mind," sea I, "you ht ig up a bag big enough to hold it anu you'll find nut. cohnK io) V?hon YOU CCC lt in the iuornin." Miss Carline winked at Miss Kesiah, and then whispered to her-then they both laughed and looked atme as mis chievous as they could. They 'spi cioncd something. "You'll be shore to give it to me now,''if I hangup a bag," s.s Miss i STORIES. tristxnas l^resent. Mary. "And promise to koop it," He? I. "Well, I will, causo I know that you wouldn't give mo riothin that wasn't worth kccpin." They ali agreed they would hang up a bag for mc to put Miss Mary's Crismus pr?sent in, ou the hack porch, and about 10 o'clock I told 'em good evenin and went home. I sta up till midnight, arni when they w is .-ill pone lo bed ! w ut softly into the back gate, aa.I wont up to the porch, and thar, shore enough, was a great big meal-hag haugin to the jicc. lt waa monstrous unliaudy to git to it, but 1 was tcrinined not to back out. So 1 s(>t some chairs on top of a bench and got Imbi ol' the rope and let my self down into the bag; but jest a? I was gittin in, it swung agin thc chair?, ami down they went with a terrible racket; but nobody did'nt wake up but Miss Stallinses old cur dog, aud herc he come rippin and lenrin through thc yard like rain, and round and round he went trying to find what was the matter. I scrooch'd down in the j bag and didn't breathe loudci nora kitten, fer fear he'd lind inc out, and after a while he quit barkin. The wind begun to blow bominablc cold, and tho old bag kep turnin round aud swingin KO it made mc sea-sick as thu mischief. I was afraid to move for fear thc rope would break and let mc fall, ?md thar I sot with my teeth j rattlin like I had a ager. It seemed 1 like it would never come daylight, and I do believe if I didn't love Miss Mary no powerful I would froze to death; fer my heart waa thc only spot that felt warm, aud it didn't beat more'n two licks a minit, only when I thought how she would bc surprised in thc morning, and then it went in a ! canter. Bimeby the cussed old dog conic up on thc porch and begun to smell about thc bag, and then he barked like ho thought he'd treed .something. "How! wow! wow!" ses he. Then he'd smell agin, and try to git up to tho bag. "Git out!" ses I, very low. for fear thc galls mought hear mc. "How! wow!" SCB lib. "Ile gone! you bominablc fool," sea I, and I felt all over in spots, for I spected every no:iit he'd nip mc, and what made it worse, I didn't know whar abouts he'd take hold. "How! wow! wow!" Then I tried coaxin "Come here, good feller," sea I, and whistled a little to him, but it wasn't uo usc. Thar ho stood and kop up his ever lastin whin?D und barkin, all night. I couldn't toll when daylight waa breakin, only by thc chicken crowie, and I was monstrous glad to hear 'cm, for if I'd had to stay thar one hour moro, I don't believe I'd ever got out of that bag alive. Old MisB Stallina ?orno out fust, and as soon as she seed tho bag, ses she: "What upon yeath has Joseph went and put in that bog for Mary? I'll lay itii a yearlin or some live animal, or Bruin wouldn't bark at it so." She went in to call tho galls, and I sot thur, BII? verin all over so_I couldn't hardly speak if I tried to -but I didn't say nothin. Bimeby tliey all como running out on thc porch. "My goodness! what is it?" ses Miss Mary. "Oh, it's alive!" sea Miss Kcsiah, "I aced it move." "Call Cato, and make him cut thc rope," sos Miss Carline, "and lets see what it is. Come herc, Cato, and git this bag down." "Don't hurt it for tho world,"-ses Miss Mary. Cato untied thc ropo that'was round thc jicc, and let the bag down easy on thc floor, and I tumbled out all cover ed with corn meal, from head to foot. "Goodness gracious!" sos Miss Mary, "if it aint thc Majcr himself!" "Yes," ses I, "and you know you promised to keep my Crismus present as long as you lived." Thc galla laughed themselves almost to death, and went to brushin off tho meal aa fast as they could, aayin they wasgwiuc to hang that bag up every Crismus till they got husbands too. Miss Mary bless her bright eyes she blushed as beautiful as a morning glory, and sed she'd stick to her word. She was right out of bed, and her hair wasn't komcd, and her dress wasn't fix'd at all, but tho way she looked pretty waa real distrtctin. I do believe if I was froze stiff, one look at her sweet face, as she stood thar looking down to the fl)or with her roguish eyes, and her bright curls fallin all over her snowy neck, would have fetched mu too. I teii you what, it was worth hangin in a meal bag from one Crismus to another to feel as happy as I have ever sense. I went homo after wc had thc laugh out, and sot by tho fire till I got thawed. In the forenoon all the, Stallinses como over to our house and wo had one of tho greatest Crismus (1 II in is il, il i vi r >'*ns ! i i? < ! .<\z'\ i. , a id ? don't believe a happier company cvor <:'t (lovrn tu thc Kimo t ??#:. - Old ; Mi.-.-- Stallion and motlier sett lcd tho ; I match, and talked over every lh:ng j that ever happened in thor families, j and laughed at nie and Mary, und cried about ther dead husbands, cause they wasn't alive ?.o eec ther children married.

I'd like to have it all over nt once, but young galls always like to be engaged a while, you know, so f up?se I must wait a month orso Mary (she ses I mustn't call her Miss Mary now) has been a good dirai of trouble and botheration to me; but if you could sec her you wouldn't think 1 ought to grudge a little suf fern! to git sich a sweet little wife.

From ali accounts there will bc plenty of money in Memphis next month to make the reunion of the United Confederate Veterans one. of the most complete and notable in the history of these gatherings, says the Savannah Morning News. It is stat ed that $75,000 will bo at the disposal of tho Executive Committee. When the question of having the reunion at Memphis was agitated, a finance committee was appointed for thc purpose of raising necessary ex penses, and although only $25,000 was at the outset asked for, the merchants and business men in general responded by binding tho gross sum of $50,000 to Chairman Pickett of the committee and demanded that this reunion be made the largest and most satisfactory one ever held in tho South. At a re cent meeting Chairman Pickett prem ised an additional $25,000, which will pi tee at the disposal of thc executive committee thc sum of $75,000. Thc general executive committee, consist iug of the most representative men ic the district, rapidly appointed sub committees and in meetings character ized by growing enthusiasm extender! their plans to such an extent that nov the original expense fuud has not onlj been trebled but preparations are ii near completion to receive an estima ted influx of visitors amounting to th< number of 100,000. As tho last cen sus gave Memphis a population o 102,1120 this will double the number o inhabitants during tho week of tho rc union. Over 10,000 old veterans will bo ac comuiodatcd free of cost. An enormou commissary building will be crectci on tho high bluffs overlooking th Mississippi river, and thc plans fo tho additional erection of a mammotl state headquarters have been submit ted. Handsome headquarters for th reunion committees have been located An enormous street flower parade, al ways the most attractive feature o any momentous gathering, has bee arranged.

A lady residing in the north a n sec tion cf the city, not far from thc Wo mau's College, tells a droll story about one of her uncles, who is nov? a prosperous physician with an exten sive pracLice in North-east Baltimore. Of course, the physician himself never would have told thc story, and it is presented herc with profuse apolo gies. The story was told by thc lady be cause she was responsible for the ?lever ruse that raised her uncle from an uuknown M. D. with a paticntless office to a prosperous doctor with more patients than he he could possibly attend. Dr. Blank has just received his cer tificate from thc State board and bc sides being minus experience and practice ho was alarmingly short of money. When his office was rented and furnished he had very little left and, naturally, he was anxious to do ?omething. But no one seemed to be willing to give him a start as a prac titioner. Plenty of people were ill, but all called other doctors. Months went by and the situation remained unchanged. Finally, in desperation, he went to his neice, the author of this story, in whom bo -was accustomed to confide serious things, and told her that it was his caudid belief that he was not meant to bc a doctor and that he could never make a living by modi- j Cidc. Thc niece, who was then un married and full of pranks, half se rious^* and half jestingly formulated a j plan which, she assured him, if car ried out to a letter, would make him well.to-do in a short while. Sho told him to go home and that very day begin her instructions. Whether thc niece patterned her plan after the one resorted to by the doctor in Dickens's "Pickwick" isnot known, but it was certainly just and success ful. Her uncle was to get a horse and carriage aud keep them in front of thc office. Ile was to have a tele phone. At intervals during the day ho was to rush hurriedly from the office, get into his carriage and drive away in a gallop, returning some three hours later, also in a hurry, the performance to bc repeated as often as was compatible with tho health of tho horse and his own nerves. Also, ho was to do the same thing once or twice every night. For this exercise he was toreoeive a practice that would increase and wax great. The young physician went home feeling as if he had read a tale from the Arabian nights. He counted his money and studied long as to whether he should invest in the scheme. He spent a sleepless night and worried all next day, but he finally decided to get thc horso and carriage and try. Two days afterward when a hand some rig stopped in front of tho doc tor's office several ladies on tho op posite side of the street came to tho window and thc doctor,'from behind the curtains of his office window, could see that considerable specula tion was going on. The neighborhood ohildren on their way to school stop ped and made remarks. The doctor, his heart beating away up in his throat, waited until about 9 o'clook, and then, according to instructions, rushed out, jumped into the carriage and drove off like mad. Ile repeated the strategy twice that day and onco that night. He mado two hnrriod trips tho next morning and that after noon ho got a real oall. Aman down thc street was taken suddenly ill and Dr. Blank was wanted there at once. He attended his patient and was so nervous that he spilled his powders. That night ho mado a wild drive, for a sham, and about midnight was call ed cut of bed to see a woman with inflammatory rheumatism. . He continued his sham practice for exactly two weeks, his real practice increasing daily, and then he stopped because he didn't have timo for any thing but boua-fide calls. During his last sham drive two sick calls oame in, und ono of tho cases went to another pbysioian. Dr. Blank lor g ago moved to a more fashion abie iocaUty; his telephono ia ringing constantly and a handsome carriage conveys him on his round of calls. Ile and his nieoo often havo a quiet half hour together and talk it over.-f?altimore Sun. - A Georgia jury recontly brought in the following verdiot: "We, tho jury find tho prisoner almost guilty.
