The distinguished divine, e. A. Jones,

non at the Presbyterian Church, in this
place last Sabbath night, that was replete
with beautiful imagery, touching pathos,
rmbcllished with poetry and couched in
the most state y dictiOn, 1t will be long
remembered and treasured, by those who
we're so fortunate as to hear him.
Miss Jennie White, one of the most ac-
complished and classic young ladeis in
the country, is teaching a hourishIng
school, four miles West of here on Camp
Branch. Miss. Jennie is brilliant con-
versationolist and talks beautifully.
The refined and graceful beauty, Miss
Ria Il. that has all the haunting sweets
ness of some remembered melody, whose
nature is as warm as the sun of Sorren
to, and heart as mellow as a Catherine
pear, and her sister Miss Mary. who
IS as radiant as the matchless blossom
Of some beautiful flower, returned from
Sewanee on Friday last, where they had
been enjoying the company of gay sOcie-
ty and the whirl of the delightful german
for the last month They were accompa-
MED by their handsome brother, Lieut.,
Willy Harris, who is a student Of that
ilCurishing institution, the University of
the South.
While the loungers were pulling their
fragrant Havanas and using their jack
knives unfortunately turning soft pine
into shavings, discussing the merits and
dement's of the Centennial Exposition,
the black tongue in deer, and the low
price of Railroad fare, their attention was
directed to a beautiful turnout filed
with four elegant gentlemen, gliding
through our quiet village, one Sabbath
evening not long since. Arriving OppO-
site the curb stone notoriety, the fat man
of the party enquired chow far is it
to where us wants to go?" With that IA
miliar and social grin so peculiar to him
self, when he deals out VIM Galici;'
Just on top of the big'hilI, where Mary
livcs,' answered Smart Aleck and off |
they sailed. Soon they :eturned by way
of back street, which caused suspicion, |
and special inquiry as that street has some |
notoriety for knock-downs and rihing
pockets. At this the second coming of |
rur mysterious visitors, they were recOg-
lized, for
Along was recorder Guest.
Who always gives you the best.
Along was the Chief Jim Haynes,
Who always carries his cuffs and chains. |
Along was old Lush, with his jugs,
Always ready TO dose with his drugs.
AlSO along was q living Zap,
Jew like, drumming for his damed old trap. |
This poetry is from the pen of the au
lacious female. who disputed with us
he glory Of turning out Betsy and at
he hop. The Mary spoken of in the
above, was not the proprietress OF a di
ninutive incipicnt sheep, whose outer Gov
,ring was as devoid of color as CONCEAL
ID vapor, and to all localities to which
Mary peram oulated, her southdown was
morally certain to follow, but Mary Of
Lush's loves Young dream.
