the mai ural arrangement of things
and it applies with equal force to
the affairs of love and ordinary

with human nature to say that the

OF aft ection must indicate constan-
cy, all I-anXiety, fervency to retain
an ell evated, an affectionate position
in tP le heart of a friend or lover.
Will lout such evidences the heart
that once so fondly cherished the
teeli ngs of a living love, gives up it's

pen etrated its depths, and forbids a
tho night of one unkind. untrue,
uni ust. And, by the way, as di-

departure from the original in
t. ention, concerning this paper, we
t ake occasion to say that inditfer-
e nee, though unintentional by the
party exhibiting, never fails to pro-
duce an effect, and if repeated must
ultimately separate the warmest
hearts.
Such being the established facts in
, the case, and natural arrangement
of things, the Editor will not fail to
perceive the reasons for our period
ical transgre ssion. The Editor of
| the PULASKI CITIZEN sends out one
of the best papers in the state, but
he must not conclude consequently,
that he is the only individual in
Giles county worthy of note. We
have the honor of limited ac-
quaintance In that part of the lime
stone region, and know whereof we
speak. And indeed if we possessed
no such personal knowledge, and
were an entire stranger there, we
would know better from the simple
fact that we have the representative
of higher order of beings than he
or his sons have the honor of being
in the person of Miss Abernathy.
While this is truth-and while it
is a truth also that Miss Abernathy
is very highly accomplished and
interesting young lady, we are
compelled to make one statement
concerning the lady which will GER
tainly be anything but-pleasant to
the Editor of this paper as well as
to the many friends and relatives of
the young lady in Pulaski. Now
we do not wish our name, Mr.. Edi-
tor, written down as one Of the
number upon your cataloa ue of
tattlers, but truth is truth, and I
mean to tell 1t. The statement is this,
viz: You sent Miss Alternately
among US, we received and wei
coined her gladly and cordially, and
enr,,, fAnnH fhof Ghn
dispensable acquisition to Cedar
Hill society, and we now mean to
use every known effort in Robert
son county to keep her here. We
intend to do this regardless Of the
loss Pulaski may sustain. If you
call this an advantage we have Ia
ken, you can make the most Of it.
We ask no quarters and give none.
We mean to depopulate Pulaski If
we can; bring the whole business
down here between this and the
camp meeting. We have one preach
er and his family and one lady
from Pulaski already. They are all
comfortable and enjoy life hugely,
and it is your business to get 'em
back if you can. We are pleased
to say that Miss Alternately is sue
ceeding admirably with her school.
While her class in French and
music is already large, numbering
fifteen, it is very highly probable
that it will be larger after few
weeks. There are three or four
young gentlemen in the class, and
from the very best information we
can get, it will be decidedly to their
interest to toe a mighty straight
mark. We are now IN possession
of, at least, one very important fact
relative to the young gentlemen
aforesaid And inasmuch as they
have no means of finding out such
things, we here state, for their es-
pecial benefit, that it will be well
for them to keep their faces as well
Strengthened out and lips as well up
as possible. We say this for the
reason that, on day before yester-
dav, we incidentally learned that
Miss Mollie had been furnished
with an able lecture from high au-
thority upon the great question of
dealing with children, and had the
old adage re-impressed upon her
mind that to spare the rod" would
spoil the child" Doubles Miss
Abernathy is already prepared for
the enforcement of rigid discipline,
knowing, as she does, that the male
portion of her class is doubly Will
ful, contains one Bone of contention
and one Spear. The Evening Star
Band" (string) drawn hither by
some magnetic influence, meet Miss
A. and her music class in the par
sonage parlor once a week, and
blend their sweetest music, render
ing the evening most delightful.
After the expression of q desire
to. be remembered by our Giles CO.,
friends, and offering many good
wishes for the future prosperity of
the Editor and his fellow Citizen
we remain most respectfully, ETC.,
