A Jewel Down in Georgia

The following graphic description of
the real jewels of the fair south is given
by a paper printed in the state of Geor-
gia: "Among the many visitors who
came to our city on Saturday last to sell
their country produce, was Young
lady from an adjoining county who had
chickens, eggs and butter for sale.
Her beauty was of transcendent excel.
lence. Bright, flashing, intellectual
eyes, aud face round and rosy, while
her calico dress was plain and neatly
made, and fitted beautifully. Her rich
black hair flowed in luxuriant richness.
Highly educated, she conversed flu
emily, and deported herself with be-
coming modesty. She wore no false
hustle or purchased complexion had
no top-knot ON her head, or false fix
ings to present, but stood in the maies-
tic beauty of a created intelligence that
would not yield to the despotic dictates
of frivolous fashion. 1t has been a
long time since we gazed upon such a
sight The young men crowded around
her wagon with curiosity in their eyes
aud admiration in their hearts. The
old men wept for Joy that there was one
who had not bowed to Baal. She sold
her country produce, went home,
milked the COWS, cooked supper for ten
farm laborers, and went to church that
night with her sweetheart"

ton tie which dispenses with the buckle.
II has notches and fastens like a barrel.

Whose edge seems searching for the luiyofing life,
Yet 10 our sense the bitter pqpg reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,
This also can be borne.
We see q sorrow rising in Our way,
And try too ilee from the approaching in:
We seek some small esrapo, we weep and pray;
Bul when tile blow falls, then our heart are still /;
NO. that the pain is Of its sharpness shorn,
But that it can be borne,
We wind our life about another ife
We hold It closer dcarcr than our own:
Anon It iMnts ana falls in deadly strife,

But ah We d. not die with those we mourn,
