POOR POLLY PODGE; OR, JIOW I CAMK TO ?k KAItKliii). 1IY w. w. woohson. On reaching man's estate, I foii myself .sole owner of a farm worth from one thousand 1? twelve hundroil dollars, with .some, other trilling pro perty, and having la light the district school for several successive winters, had laid 111 > a few hit ml red dollars in easji. I was youngj addicted to no bad habits, and thought myself hand some, though 1 have since been told thai this was wholly a mistake; At any rale, I was a most eligible matri monial partner, as 1 should say many of the girls in the ncighhorluTod thought, judging from some their little mancuvrcs. Suspecting them of woidly and mercenary motives, 1 foughi. shy, and contrived to keep myself out of the meshes of love and all entangling aljianccfi. 1 Wit 1 had now reached a turning point in my destiny?a tide in the liiliicrlo mi broken current, of my life. A certain Col. Stanhope purchased a farm and located h"tinselI" and family in our immedia e neighborhood. 1 had no sooner set my eye* iip n Klla Stanhope than I resolved to win her. She was without doubt the most, beautiful creature I oversaw. I lost no lime in Ibrniirg her acquaintance, and found thai her manners were as engaging as her face was lovely! All my usual apathy and indifference to wards her sex vanished, and I became ardent iii the pursuit of t his cherish ed object. Ju this pursuit 1 encoun tered one very serious obstacle. Miss Stanhope was nL all limes, at home iii d abroad, in company with an I aunt, a maiden sister of her deceased m. '.l.er, a Miss Podge?Miss Polly j Podge. This lady had seen, perhaps, suine forty llbwery summers pass, but I doubt'ess labored under tin; im pression, as she strove to impress up t.h i.lhcrs, that she was yet in the fiu-t- and spring-time ol life. She was all Inioyaucc and guish? dicsscd in il e gayest colors, had the merriest laugh and brightest eoiii 11 o.\iuH..Jtiia??iiiulilei.: i Ier eonycj'-u-. "TiTrTi fairly" bubbled and sparkled, and often when 1 was sighing for a rrtr.it;f<:?? with I' Ihij she would over whelm nie with a very nU'U'aet of iiiry m things and.,'????'.?? </Y.-y.///. Of c ur.-e I treated hor with tin? grihio.st civility,oil her own account, and thinking that to establish myself in the good graces ol the elder lady might advance iny interests with the ybitiiger, exhibited, perhaps, a little more warmth (wards Miss fudge.thai) I ought to have done. 1 Knew that this lady attended to ilic domestic concerns olUhe niinily, and in calling oil Kda, would select such hours as 1 thought .Miss I'edge would be cm il pel led to devote to house-hold matter.-. Put all my strategy was vnin. She was cam;r pre sent; or if called away would come hurrying back in a moment, with a rush ami gush, with a merry laugh or sparkling ln-n n\i>l on her lips that set iny teeth on edge; though ofeoutso I had to "grin horribly a ghastly smile." 1 was desperate, especially as I be gan to discover, as 1 imagined, signs of tenderness in Kl'a's manner when ever we were lor a moment alone to gether. How lo get rid of my merci less tormentor became the study ol' my life. 1 began to question if there would be such "deep damnation in her taking oil','' when the chalice, the golden opportunity I liad so long been si:eking, unexpectedly presented its?'f. 1 called one evening, as usual, and found both ladies in the drawing room. .1 sat till late, waiting for a chance. At last Miss Podge, declar ed that she must go and attend to ? eil, or we would get nothing to eat. 1 rose at the same lime to lake niv leave. "Won't you stay and lake lea with us, Mr, Pepper?" asked Miss Podge. J declined., and inn king my adieus lo Klin, left the room, accompanied by the elder holy, who went to the rear of the house as 1 came out at the front. J walked 16 ll.o gate and stopped. '?iN'ow," thought I, "is the time. I'll slip back, and if 1011st is still there, Pit do the business before lhal'old e it returns." J went back, opened the door cau tiously and looked in. It was quite daik, bet (heshimmer of Kiln's light dress was plainly visible, just where 1 had left her a moment before. Without Joss of time 1 stepped lo where she sat. Kneeling by her chair, I took her hand in mine, and poured forth the penl-up feelings of my heart. " Dearest, how long, how impatient ly I liavo wailed lor this hour. Uow long I havo bighed to breathe the. ccciLt of my love. Oh; darling, I do love you with nil the intensity of my nature. Can you, will you be mint! ?" '?Thine, only I hi no," was (lie. sweet whisper lluit lull upon my dulighlcd en rs. (Jently my arm stole around, her yielding lohn: AIy lips were pressed to her own, inn j inroxysni of bliss when the door opened and a light flashed into Ihe room. Merciful hen veil! 301 lit herself stood in (he door, lamp in liutid I made love in und been accepted l>v Miss Polly I'odgc! I was too completely dumb-found ed even toiiso from my knees. R.ly jUmrr. whs the fust lo recover bet* composure. "Kiln/' she exclaimed in a lone of vexation, "Ibis is a very inopportune interruption. J >ut as you doubtless judge from appearances,' dear Kicli ard 11as proposed a ml I Have accepted binu" "I am very sorry, dear aunt, to liave interrupted such an agreeable Ictc-ti-t' tVf but really I was not dream ing of such ascent!," and as her eyes fell upon me, she burst into a storm of irrepressible laughter. "However," she continued, "as 1 have been; unin tentionally a witness of your hetro tiiiil, permit mo to extend both to yourself and Mr. Popper niy siiicerest congratulations," and with a bow ol grave courtesy she deposited ihe lamp on a table and left me 11 niy fate. "Miss Podge," 1 exclaimed as soon as we were alone, "1 assure you Ibis is all a mistake.''' "How a mistake ?"she asked sharp ly. "Vbu have just in plain terms made known your love to me, and 1, in all candor, have accepted your proffered ha ml.'' "Yes, but (h'ttrMiss Podge, I really mistook you for another lady. I had no idea that! was: inn king tin plter of my hand to you-" "Come, sir," she .said interrupting me, ' this i-- lucre trilling, and L ain not iii the habit of being, tri lied with in Ibis way. (I hrlicvcd her from my very soul.) What do you moan by mistaking me for another lady? what, lady ?". "Your niece, Miss Stanhope,'' J answered. ??iiKilu I." ehe said: ? -fcWh y,.RiT.Xv> licvp it is generally known that my niece is lb be married in a few weeks to a gentleman she has long known a ml loved. Oh ! l-lichard, why do you thus try ihe? I love you, ?lid this treatment when we should be. all tcii.lerucs.s to each other, breaks hiy heart; You lir.vo no idea, I hope, of seeking some excuse til rent ly lo cancel our (itigagineiit?" ' Keally, Mi,s Podge," i icplied, "1 hope you will forgive me, but 1 do nut consider that any engagement ex ists between us. You iloit't auppose I ever intended, at my age, to olfcr my hand to. a laily of your years?'1 That did it ! sbc jiist g'ared at me like a veritable fury. "My years!" she .shrieked; "how dare you thus add insult to injury ? Hut you shall repent, it sir. If there is justice in the hind you'shall sutler for thus wantonly breaking your pliglited word, an 1 trilling with the iecTirig? of an unsuspecting .'/" /.'' The last words slit! fairly yelled in hiy cars as .-he hurried from the room. Well, J had dime ihe business with a vengeance, truly. The last-wortls of Miss Podge left nie in no doubt as to the course she intended lo pursue. She evidently intended to bring a suit against me for breach of contract , ami all 1 had to do was to prepare myself .'or the contest. 1 was therefore in no wise surprised when, a lew weeks It'.ter, an ollieer of the law cited me to appear on a certain day, al our county town 1?) answer in t he siiit of ' Podge vs Pepper." Miss 1 bdge placed her case in the bauds of eminent counsel] and I did the game. In due time the case came up lor trial, and no one can imagine the mortification 1 experienced at being compelled to figure in such a drama; but to protect my interests there was no alternative. Everything i had was at slake, for Miss i'odgc had laid her damages at 03,000. Miss Stanhope was the chief witness, and as she detailed minutely the scenes she had witnessed between mo and the plaintiff, particularly the hive, scene in the last act, there was a sensation in the crowded court-room. The case was ably argued on both sides ?ly counsel acquitted himself to niy entire satisfaction, and at the close of his speech, 1 fell confident of a verdict. 1 could plainly see, too, favor in the eyes of the jury. Put my hope3 wilted like wax before the plaintill's lawyer finished the closing argument. I absolutely writhed undo his fierce lashings, lie applied to me every epithet of meanness?cal ling me, among other things, "ri gay and festive cuss." I, Richard Pepper, "a cuss," "a gay ami festive cuss !" I, a district school tcjiehcr, who bail always been a model of propriety. The juijy went ont buta few mo ments, when ' they returned with a verdict that took my breath away. Tiicy laid just ."sized my pile." "Two thousand for the plaintill'," road out the clerk of the court, in a clear, cal lous tone. What a fix! I fell satis lied that if I would consent lo marry the old girl, I could keep my pro perty. J3ut what an alternative! Podge, or t poverty ! J chose the for mer. Proposing & second time, the old one positively refused lo be mine before the money was paid over ! I shelled out the cash in hand, and made her a deed to the farm, ami she then condes ended to become Mrs. Pepper. Now, whenever I ask for a new pair of boots,or a new hat,she puts i me off. telling me that she don't in tend that 1 shall squauhcr her pro 1<ii!i/ in ''useless extravagance. Alas, poor Polly ! -? -c-. About Goats. Dr. 11; Peters, of Atlanta Georgia* gives an interesting account, which we observe copied in the llitr <! Caro tin tau, of his experience in raising the Cashmere, Angora and the Tin bet goal, lie made his first purchase in 1 S5-i from Dr. Jas. 13. Davis, at that time living near Columbia. He had j been on.; a mission to Turkey to in troduce the culture of cotton in the Suit an 'e >.dom ini ons, and on his return was presented by him with a selection of the finest specimens of fleece-bear ing goat-;. Dr. Peters subsequently added to hisslock from six different importations from Asia, and has suc ceeded, by the observance of certain rules of selection, in obtaining a thick possessing great, uniformity. In 185-1 he sheared six and a half pounds frhni w{\ Davis imported buck, and in MilYtyh of' this year.sheared six and a'.-half pounds frjm one of his descendants. At his farm near Atlanta they have succeeded ad mirably, being exempt from disease and able to protect themselves from attacks , by dogs. They should be allowed to run ont winter and sum mer oil large enclosures They im prove land by killing the under growth pf briars and bushes. In this cJ'nuat.e^.thcy shed their overcoat of mohair in Maren or April of each year, if not sooner sheared. It. starts out again in duly, and in January gets its full growth, averaging in length nine inches. A manufacturing company at .Jamestown, Chalauga County, N* V., purchases all the mohair that (tail be obtained at from sixty to ninety cents per pound. Mr. Peters has sold his crop for several years at about the sumo figures to the New York Plush and Braid Mills, in the city of 2s'ew York. rliis goat ihrives w?dl hire, where it was first introduced. We have seen some lino specimens at Major Dykes'. Wo should think it would pay well to go regularly into the business, or, as Major .Sellers would say, as a "side speculation." The mohair, the skin and the meat ol the animal all bear a good price. The grade goals are bred in California principally for their skins, for which there is an increasing demand. A glove company out there pays from one to three dollars for each sk in from a half to a seven eighth blood. We throw out these facts and suggestions for the benefit of our agricultural friends, particularly of this neighbor hood.? Columbia Jirffistcr A SiNcrt.ak Pkkam.?An Ames bury (Mass.) man had a singular dream, under the following circum stances: Jlis father and mother had recently died within three or four weeks of each other, and one night in a dream he saw his mother standing by his bed, and a little distance away he saw a cot. bed, with a peculiar coverlet, on which lav a man, with his back turned towards him. His mother called him by name, and said, "Here arc seven dollars." He at tached no significance to the dream itn'il when he went to the post ofHcc be received a latter staling that his brother, who was on a Western road, had been badly crushed, ami reques ted his presence, immediately. On arriving at his brother's home he was struck with s uprise when he found hi in lying on a cot bed, with tlie same kind of a coverlet as he had seen in his dream, with his back turn ed towards him. The brother died, and the gentleman was still more astonished when on settling his affairs, the first bill presented was just seven dollars in amount. Strange, as the dream may seem, it is told by the man himself, and heisagentlen.au whose veracity no one would i hi peach. . n ? m How to raise cats:?First catch your cats; and then put them in a bar rel and explode a can of nitroglycer ine under them. It never fails to rise, 'cm; but the cats comedown greatly demoralized. Hero la something heat from ihe Griflin News: A poor town cow Unit would hog;up llltd mi re down end din in three inches of mud, can climb into n country man's wagon and eat twenty four bundles of fodder and jv basket full of eggs while the innocent, victim is taking his lirst dram. This kind of cow is proverbially dry. The strong est. persuasion in behalf of a sick infant won't make her let down a "drop," and yet she will open year front gate at any time in the night and eat lip all the shubbory and plants iii sight What she don't eat she tramples under foot and destroys. When you search for the owner to g< l. damages, you never lind him. Hut when that cow meets the inevi table fate of all such cattle?to wit: is run over by the* rail road cars?then there arc an abundance of ow ners, and they prove the cow is worth a hundred doilaas. The railroad pays, and everybody is glad. I. II' ? - . ?C?? ii Hatixc.? Hate no one. It is not worth while. Your life is not long enough to cherish ill will or hard thoughts toward any one. What if man has cheated you, or that woman played you false? What if this friend has forsaken ymi in time of need, or that due having won your utmost confidence, your wannest love, has concluded that he prefers to con sider and treat you as a stranger V Let is all pass. What, diUcroneo will it make to you in a few years, when you go to the undiscovered country? A few m ire smiles, a few more pleas ures, much pain, a little longer hur rying and worry through the world, some hasty greetings and abrupt fare wells, and oiir play will be "played out," the injured will he led away and ore long forgotten. Is if worthy to hate each other? The Newark Daily says:?A prominent, lawyer recently gave tin following definition of the law : "It is simply an effort to shift the res pun sihility of the dicision. The jury of | laymen, befogged by* lha pleadings, make up their verdict with the.tinder standing that if there is anything wrong about it, the Supreme Court composed of lawyers, will make it all right. The Supremo Court settle it according to law*, with the understand ing that the laymen of tho Court of1 Appeals will adjust the equity. The Court of Errors order a new trial, and it comes back lo where it started, and begins again with the jury of lav men. It is simply a mill I hat goes round and round and grinds up the (pro perly of fools. A few days ago a man was brought before the County court of a neighbor ing County, charged with receiving stolen goods. Tint trial was before a jury. After the testimony was heard and argume.nl. made, the Judge char ged the jury as follows: "Gentlemen of the jury, the. defendant stands charged with receiving stolen goods. It is your duty, under the testimony, to lind him guilty if v ou can; and if you can't lind Iiiiii guilty, find him as gtdlty as you can." It is needless, perhaps, to state that the jury brought in a verdict of guilty.?Mieon Tele graph mal Messenger.
