A Sad and Romantic Career.
lehIenre Naval


Joel G. Harris, the famous humorist
of the Atlanta constifufion, has had n
etraneely romantic career. His father
was a missionary, and II was at the
small town OF Boogh.la. on the southern
coast OF Africa, that Joel was born. lie
was educated by hts father. and acquired
a wonderful acquaintance with foreign
languages. lie is an adept Sanskrit
scholar, and ~ deeply versed In Hebraic
and Buddhist literature. The sweetly
anaint legends OF Indian and Jndean
mythology have found their way into
his simple southern tales. aud the spirit
OF his philosophy il identical with the
teachings of Moses and Buddha. Some
years before the civil war young Harris
came 10 America aud taught school in
a village near Lake Teoteelootchkee,
in Florida. While thus employed he
made the acquaintance Of Sallie Onld
Gusts. the daughter OF wealthy
planter. These two soon fell In love
with each other. subsequently Harris
was engaged by Col. Gusts as private
tutor for his children, and there was no
objection made 10 the young mans ut
tentions to Miss Sallie, then radiant
creature of sixteen. The civil war came
on; Col. Gusts raised n regiment with
his private means; young Harris enlisted
IA private, aud waa speedily promoted
to Captaincy. Not only did Col. Custis
lose all his property by the rebellion,
but in the battle OF Columbus u. C.) u
grapeshot tore his lower limbs into
shrods 10 ill his cup Of bitterness,
and TO blight the Lille Of Joel Harris for
ever, the beautiful Sallie 0uld Custis
died Of yellow fever the very day her
lover aud her crippled father returned
from four years of battling for their
nnholy cnnso. Harris had but one mis-
sion in lie now, and that was the sup.
port OF the manned sire Of his deceased
sweetheart. The two live together in
an UNCOVERED cottage near Atlanta, and
the love the twain bear each other is
beautiful to contemplate. Mr.. Harris
is only forty years Of age, yet his snow
white hair tells the sorrow Of his life.
Generous, amiable aud tender, he is a
fair example Of that manly nobility
which, tried by adversity and chastened
by grief, has naught in II OF dress ----
