The NJ. A. 3.

An organization has been formed I'M
der the above name in our city, which
has done great deal of good, and will
exert considerable influence upon socie-
ETY., wherever it is introduced. 1t has
the peculiar faculty of making all its
members happy, they being greatly re-
joiced on meeting each other, and ac-
knowledge their admiration though they
pass and repass dozen times each day.
This society will receive into its mystic
ries any good looking gentleman, or any
gentleman whom its charter members
think can be improved upon, be he a
young man, a married man or bache-
Tor. One of the charter members is a
bachelor, and although the order is not
six weeks old, he is to all appearances
ten wears younger than before he Joined
He says he feels that now there are
those who rejoice when he rejoices, and
are glad to hear his welcome footsteps or
see his smiling face on which once were
frowns, and from his deep study which
absorbed his whole attention so com-
pletely that if he had been stuck with
pins by fair hands he would not have
felt it, his eyes are now sparkling, and
he has always word of cheer for his
brothers of the order. He has under
gone much change-why should he not?
doesn't he deal in change? At his sug
gestion the initiation fee will be reduced
to one dollar on new members.
There is another member, one OF the
finest looking men ION horseback) we
ever saw. We knew him when he used
to ride as constable in the Bigbyville
district, but could never see it in that
light before he entered our society. His
whiskers then appeared very red, but
now they have changed to bright au-
burn, and indeed he has been metamor-
phosed completely and seems to all of us
as gaily as a fox" This gentleman has
calico on the brain-he deals in calico.
But by far the most useful and pleas
mt member of this order-he who con-
tributes moro to the prosperity of the
cause.-the greatest flattcrer of them all,
although but lately returned to business
in our city; he has not forgotten the lam
guage of love, and when he speaks in
council, all eyes are turned upon him.
How could it be otherwise? his voice is
musical, his eyes like black diamonds
encased in mother-of-pearl; he has a
commanding figure, and SO graceful
wi:hal that we can hardly rccog-
nizel in him the Lieutenant we met in
Atlanta during the war, but tits he, and
we often pass the .'.cheap cash store' on
the west side of the square, to receive a
glance or approving smile which he in

his house is frequently full of customers.
He is now one or the proprietors Of adry-
goods store, but has not married yet,
why he does not we are unable to say;
but we will say that she will be pecu-
liarly blessed who catches him for a
partner through life. - .ilr.a r. -
There is one more member OF whom
we would write, but modesty fotbids the
pen to indite his qualities. DIS vcorpu-
ience somewhat detracts from bis origi-
nal appearance, but be being, the only
married man in the party, If not so good
looking, seems happier than all the rest
combined, and can always be found at
the Hotel de Nelson about meal times,
where he would be glad to receive petit
tons from any who wish to improve
their present unhappy condition bs join
ing the Mutual Admiration Society, Of
which he is for the present t--.q
