COMPARATIVE TIME-TABLE,

        Showing the Time at the Principal Cities of the Confederate States, compared with Noon at Richmond, Va.

         There is no "Standard Rail-Road time" in the Confederate States, but each rail-road company adopts independently the time of its own locality, or of that place at which its principal office is situated. The inconvenience of such a system, if it can be called, must be apparent to all, but is most annoying to persons strangers to the fact. From this cause, many miscalculations and misconnections have arisen, which not unfrequently have been of serious consequence to individuals, and have, as a matter of course, brought into disrepute all Rail-road Guides, which of necessity give the local times. In order to relieve, in some degree, this anomaly in American rail-roading, we present the following table of local time, compared with that of Richmond, Va:

HOTEL DIRECTORY.

         This Directory will contain none but the best Hotels in each city-- those that the traveler may feel assured are worthy of the public patronage. Also, Houses on the roads where trains stop for meals.

OMNIBUS DIRECTORY.

         COLUMBUS OMNIBUS LINE.--Omnibusses always in attendance upon the arrival of trains at either of the Depots, or at the steam-boat landing, to convey travelers to any of the Hotels, or private houses. Tickets can be purchased in the cars of an Agent, who will exchange checks for baggage, thus saving travelers the annoyance of looking after their baggage. A. GAMMEL, Proprietor.

         MONTGOMERY OMNIBUS LINE.--Omnibusses leave the Hotels 45 minutes before the departure of Cars or Boats. Check Agents will be found on all trains to check baggage to either Hotel or private house.

         CONNECTIONS.--The greater portion of this road is in the hands of the enemy. It connects at Goldsboro with the Wilmington & Weldon [p17] and North Carolina rail-roads [p15].

         NEWBERN, capital of Craven county, North Carolina, is situated at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers, about 120 miles South-east of Raleigh. It was for many years the capital of the State; but now, alas, in the possession of our enemies. The Neuse river, which is more than a mile wide at this place, is navigated by steamboats about eight months of the year. The entrance from the sea is through Ocracoke Inlet.

         KINSTON, capital of Lenoir county, North Carolina, 80 miles South-east of Raleigh. It has been the scene of a battle in the present war; but its defenders maintained their ground. The Atlantic & North Carolina rail-road is now operated only as far as Kinston.

         FALLING CREEK, post-town of Wayne county, North Carolina.

         MOSELY HALL, post-town of Lenoir county, North Carolina.

         GOLDSBORO, N. C., two miles from Neuse river, which is navigable for light draft vessels to this point. At one time a force of the enemy ten thousand strong approached the town, both by land and water, and succeeded in getting near enough to the rail-road bridge, two miles below, with their gun-boats to burn it. A fierce battle ensued, and the enemy were routed.

         POCATALIGO, S. C., is a small town, brought into notice recently from its having been thescene of a battle, and the threats of the enemy to advance at that point from their gun-boats. It derives its name, we are informed by a correspondent of the Atlanta Intelligencer, from the following source:

         "One day some of the early settlers on the sound caught a turtle, and were trying to drive him homeward, but they made slow progress with the zigzag locomotion creature. At this juncture some of the shore Indians came up with the party, and said to one of the drivers, 'Poke he tail he go;' refering to an excellent method of pushing the varmint along. They followed the natives' advice and found it succeed admirably--with which result they were so much pleased that they called the place as nearly the sentence as possible. But it has gradually, in the wear of centuries, come down to a plain compound word, to wit: Pocataligo."

         We cannot be held responsible for the validity of the foregoing, but presume the gentleman who gives the information is well posted.

E. D. KING, President, Cahawba, Ala.

         This road is completed from Cahawba, where it connects with Steamboats on the Alabama River, to Marion. It is designed to extend to Greensboro, on the line of the Northeast and Southwest road.

NORTH-EAST & SOUTH-WEST ALABAMA ROAD.

ALFRED BATTLE, President, Tuscaloosa, Ala.

         A proposed road from Wills Valley road, to Meridian, Mississippi, a distance of two hundred and seven miles. No part of the road is operated as yet, that we can learn.

WILLS VALLEY ROAD.

         From Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Wills Valley, twenty miles, where it was intended to connect with the North-east & South-west road.

GULF AND SHIP ISLAND ROAD.

         The Register of the Land Office, at Paulding Mississippi, Mr. J. M. Bradley, Jr., informs us that he has just prepared a list of the sobtic lands granted to the Gulf and Ship Island rail-road Company, and that they amount to the enormous aggregate of one million five hundred thousand five hundred and twenty-one acres in the Paulding District. The Road will receive over two hundred thousand acres besides. At the lowest estimate this body of land is worth five millions of dollars, a sum more than sufficient to construct the entire road.

BLUE RIDGE ROAD.

         Surveyed from Anderson, South Carolina, to Knoxville, Tennessee, a distance of two hundred miles; but its progress has been retarded by the war. It is now operated from Anderson, where it forms junction with the Anderson branch of the Greenville & Columbia road, to Pendleton, a distance of eighteen miles.

WESTERN ROAD.

         An unfinished line from Fayetteville, to High Point, N. C., where it forms junction with the North Carolina Road. It is at present operated about half the distance. Trains run daily.

EDITOR'S
PORTFOLIO

HINTS TO TRAVELERS.

         It behooves travelers, in these times of confidence men, pick-pockets and thieves, to keep a wary eye upon their valuables. Put your money in some pocket or other place of difficult access, when you start on a "trip." If you have hand-baggage, such as a carpet-bag, or the like, keep it where you can see it; and if you change cars, don't trust it to strangers to carry for you. If you should travel through Augusta, beware of a big blustering butcher of a fellow, who collects the stage fare, before you start, for carrying you from one depot to another, and when you arrive at the other, is there again to demand of you still another fare. This game has been practiced to some extent by this same individual, and as he is employed by a monopoly in the omnibus business, there is no retreat from him unless you walk.

         In arriving at Montgomery depot by the evening train from Mobile, be careful not to hand your baggage to any stranger who may offer to assist you. Some thieves at this place have a bewitching fashion of relieving travelers of their hand baggage--which is done in this way: as the traveler, with his valise of carpet-bag is about to enter the omnibus, the thief, lantern in hand, stands at the door, as if belonging to the omnibus, and in an authoritative manner says: "It's too much crowded in there to take in your baggage, let me pill it on top o' the 'bus"--and ten chances to one the unthinking traveler falls into the trap, hands over his valise or what-not, and never sees it again. And if you should lose your valise in that way, and go to the police-office in Montgomery, with the hope of giving them something in their way to do, a big burly Irishman will look up at you, half asleep, and say--"How the divil d'ye think I kin find the thafe; an' besides that, the depot is out o' the corporation, an' we haint got no right to go out there to look afther no thafe."

         In these times of war and martial law, it is necessary for the traveler to be armed with a passport. In case there are none issued by the local authorities in the neighborhood of his home, he should go to the first Provost Marshal's office on his route and procure one; to do which


Page 67

he must present the necessary vouchers as to his individuality. At every military post through which he may pass, it is necessary to renew the passport or have it countersigned. By following this rule he will save time and annoyance.

         Travelers going long distances should trace out their route before Starting, and make memoranda of places at which it is desirable to make halts. It will save much time and expense.

         Tickets should be procured at the office before starting, as on nearly all rail-roads an additional charge is made in the cars. Children under 5 years of age, accompanied with parents, usually ride free; those between 5 and 12 are charged half price. Conductors usually judge for themselves of the age of children

         Baggage should be checked before starting.

         On almost all the trains will be found Baggage, or Express Agents, who will take charge of baggage on the arrival at the termini. They are regularly authorized by the rail-road companies, and can be safely intrusted with its safe delivery.

         It often happens that travelers, by some want of information, or care, lose their baggage; and to regain it, give themselves, as well as the rail-road companies, much unnecessary trouble. In every such case, if the person is at a distance, and wishes to recover the article lost, write to the Superintendent of the road, on which such loss was sustained, stating the day, which direction the train was going, and the hour at which it passed some given point on the road. When this information is all correctly given, the Superintendent will know at once which officer in the employ of the company to approach.

         Soldiers, to travel now-a-days, must have correct papers, or it is no go. He must have, in the first place, his furlough; upon that he can get his passports from one military post to another, which he should always be careful to have, as it will save him time and trouble. Transportation is granted at almost every rail-road terminus or junction upon the order of his commanding officer. In case he has not such order, his furlough will entitle him to the soldiers' rate, which, on most of the railroads is about half the usual fare.

         It has been legally decided that applicants for tickets on rail-roads can be ejected from the cars if they do not offer the exact amount of their fare. Conductors are not bound to make change. All rail-road tickets are good until used, and conditions "good for this day only," or otherwise admitting time of genuineness, are of no account. Passengers who lose their tickets can be ejected from the cars unless they purchase a second one. Passengers are bound to observe decorum in the cars, and are obliged to comply with all reasonable demands to show their tickets. Standing upon the platform or otherwise violating the rule of the company, renders a person liable to be put from the train. No person has a right to monopolize more seats than he has paid for, and any article left in a seat, while the owner is temporarily absent, entitles him to the place upon his return.

         Travellers going to Virginia to visit their relatives in the army, or to bring home wounded soldiers, should, if they are over the age of conscription, furnish themselves with certificates from the County


Page 68

Court Clerk of their respective counties, setting forth that they are over the age for conscription.

         Soldiers must show their furloughs in order to purchase half rate Tickets. This should be done cheerfully, for unless this examination be made by Ticket Agents, many persons who are not entitled to half rate tickets would procure the same under pretense of being soldiers.

         Ticket Agents are responsible for the mistakes they make, and as many of them are poor men and have families to support from small salaries, several questions should not be asked agents at the same time; this tends to confuse them and cause them to make mistakes. No passenger should ask a question unless the agent is waiting on him. Let each one take his turn at procuring a ticket, and not half a dozen at once.

         ABREVIATIONS USED IN THE TIME-TABLES.--Acc., Accommodation train; Exp., Express Train; Pass., Passenger Train.

         The lines extending across the page in the tables, divide the stations on a branch, from the stations on the main line.

         The right-hand columns of the Time-Tables read up, the left-hand read down. As an additional aid to the Traveler, let him observe if the miles read from 1 to 10, 20, or more; he will thus be enabled to understand how the Table runs, whether up or down.

TO SUPERINTENDENTS.

         Superintendents are earnestly requested to mail their Time-Tables when changes are made in the departure and arrival of their different trains to and from their different points of destination, in order that we may be enabled to make the "Guide" as perfect as possible.

         TRAVELERS, who make use of the "Guide" will oblige the publishers by informing them of any inaccuracies they may find therein; and any information calculated to prove beneficial to the traveling community will be read by at least three or four hundred thousand persons.

TO ADVERTISERS

         Business men will at once see the great advantage of the Guide over every other publication, as a general advertising medium. Therefore, it is needless for us to waste time and space in expatiating upon its merits, in that particular respect. So we would merely say to all--be sure to send in your advertisement early, remembering that they will be read by at least three of four hundred thousand persons.

COLUMBIA & AUGUSTA RAIL-ROAD.

         We see by the Columbia and Augusta papers, that a Spirit of the right kind is being shown by the people of South Carolina and Georgia, in regard to the projected road between the two most beautiful cities in our whole Confederacy. This is a worthy project, and we hope soon to see that the whole line is


Page 69

under contract. The following extract from an article in the South Carolinian, is to the point:

         "At this time, when the coast and seaport cities are threatened with raids from the reckless and vandal foe, it can scarcely be possible for us to attach too much importance to the necessity of building this road, and that at once. The influence for good which it will produce under existing circumstances will be incalculable. It will develop the resources and increase the wealth of the sections named, and benefit, in some degree, the whole Confederacy.

         Where this road is desired to pass, enterprise and industry are sure of their rewards. Patriotism would be a feeble passion, and wealth would lose much of its value, as a means of promoting the public good, were the citizens of Augusta, Hamburg, Edgefield, Columbia and North Carolina, to fail to be struck with the special significance that the immediate building of this road will stamp on the economy of the country in every way. It will save time and money to the Government. It binds together in indissoluble links of iron, two enterprising and wealthy cities, (Columbia and Augusta,) which are destined to act a prominent part in the magnificent future of Southern progress and independence.

         With regard to the geography of the country we have precise and accurate information. A complete and satisfactory survey has been made, which developes the important fact that it is the shortest and the best route to locate the road, and that it will make an air line from Mississippi to Virginia, passing through a beautiful section remote from the coast."

         Mr. L. H. de Rosset, will please accept thanks for a number of valuable Rail-Road items.

         Not long since I called upon some lady friends of mine, and was ushered into the parlor by the servant girl. She asked what name she should announce, and I, wishing to take them by surprise, replied Amicus (a friend). She seemed at first a little puzzled, but quickly regaining her composure, she in the blandest manner possible observed, "What kind of a cuss, sir?"

         The curious man goes about to gratify his curiosity; but he will probably never travel far enough to find anything more curious than himself.


Page 70

THE LADIES' CAR.

         Since the war began, the "Ladies' Car," has become an "indispensable institution" upon all well regulated Rail-Roads, and is frequently the scene of many a gallantry that is prompted by more selfish motives than a casual observer would at first suppose. To expose these uses and abuses, we propose, from time to time, to give our readers a medley of incidents, accidents, and occurrences--allowing the "Ladies' Car" to speak propria personoe; for all must acknowledge that she must know best of what she sees, while a single traveller would let the richest gems pass unseen. So, with this introduction we shall retire, and the Ladies' Car will tell her own stories.

         Ten! Yes, ten rough looking men have each taken two seats, and spread themselves accordingly, when a lady steps on the platform for admission to the so-called sanctuary and as she is shown in by the polite guard, she looks enquiringly about and asks:

         "Is this the Ladies' Car?"

         "Yes mem," replies the guard.

         "Well, it has little the appearance of it now, I declare," and the lady began looking where she might find a seat by herself.

         Who are these men? We will raise their hats from over their eyes (where they have pulled them for very shame of their own conduct) and see if we can distinguish to what order of humanity they belong.

         Hah! a Colonel! Well I declare! And a Confederate Colonel too-- worse and worse, but then the Superintendent escorted him and ordered him to be passed--so it must be all right--and besides that, he is a soldier, a long way from home, and "don't expect to marry in this section of country no how," so, I'll excuse him.

         You, sir! Who are you? Oh, I see--a Captain, and a man who always obeys orders, no matter what the ladies or anybody


Page 71

else says. Came in by the Colonel ordering the guard to "let that man pass." Very good; I must excuse him.

         And the next is--well, may I believe my eyes, another Captain, and a man who is quite as averse to disobeying orders as the one just passed. Well, under the same rule I shall have to excuse him.

         Number four, the best looking of all, and one whom I had hoped to see rise and give the lady his seat: preserved the same apparent unconcern for what was passing until the lady was seated, when he turned a volley of eyes upon her that were destined to do their work. He was a Lieutenant, and another man who takes pride in obeying orders. His Captain commissioned him to enter. Another excuse is of course necessary in this case.

         The next four are also soldiers, but unfortunately for them and me, they bear no distinguishing marks by which their rank can be distinguished, so we must set them down as privates.--Privates! astonishing! Privates in the Ladies' Car! What miracle could have been instrumental in this? Directly after the Lieutenant entered, a gentle tap was heard at his window, when he inquired: "Who's there?" the leader of the squad replied:

         "Its four o' your boys Lieutenant: can't you git us in there some how?"

         "Don't know--I'll see--go to the front door."

         The parties meet at the door designated, when the Lieutenant commands:

         "Guard, pass those men," and the guard steps aside and the boys pass in. What must I do now? Pass another excuse? I wish I had not excused the first encroachment, and then I should not have been bothered with this; but, as I have allowed a precedent, why I must abide by it--so, of course these last four are excusable.

         Two more remain, of whom I must speak. One is a tolerably


Page 72

rough looking case--and the question naturally arises--how in the world did he ever get into the Ladies' Car, where a guard is placed for the especial purpose of securing ladies against the presence of coarse, indecent looking men, the very picture of which my subject represents? I'll tell you--he is a particular friend of our trusty guard, who thinks he will treat his friend to a luxury in the way of women, if he can't in the way of wine. So he is accounted for, and a right good candidate is he to be excused for his trespass.

         The next is not very unlike the last in appearance. He is a friend of the brakeman, who takes great care to preserve the friendship of the guard, and thus through a train of influential influence he gains admittance to the coveted presence of the ladies. He, most certainly is excusable. Who wouldn't?

         Ladies now begin to come in--one by one the before described ten, relinquish their extra seats after the ladies ask for them, until at length the Lieutenant, capable of no further resistance to his natural gallantry gives up his seats to a bevy of pretty girls, and retreats to the nearest point from which a successful attack might be made on the lady who first entered, and who his eyes had not ceased to prey upon. He at length ventures a word. Ah! it is favorably received. How could it be otherwise though; a man of good appearance always takes with the ladies, and no questions asked about sense.

         There he goes, I thought that would be the end of it. He sits down beside her. I can safely put that down for a love affair, of which I may reveal the secrets one of these days. For the present I will leave them to enjoy themselves.

         "Ladies' Car, sir," says the sentinel almost continuously --"Ladies' Car!" and everybody who wishes to take the train is certain to approach the ladies' car first.

         "Ladies' Car, sir."

         "Of course it's the ladies' car, that's just the car I want."

         "Have you a lady aboard?"


Page 73

         "Certainly I have, or what do you think I'd be here for."

         "All right sir, pass in sir, excuse me sir," says my very polite guard, and a "fellah" that "knows the ropes," is admitted.

         Several are admitted in this manner until the car becomes overcrowded, while other cars on the train are comparatively empty. But who's to blame for this--all are excusable. The magnet is there and "human natur" does the rest.

         Another applicant for admission! Ah! I've seen that face before. Well, now, I should be loth to accuse him of trying to get into the ladies car, without the very palpable excuse of a lady on his arm. The guard tells him it is the Ladies' Car. He parleys--its no use, the ladies' car is invulnerable--he can't command the "influential influence," and he retires, falls back, retreats. He is an Editor! What a pity it is these editors have'nt a little more brass--they could see lots of fun if they would only put on the faces that some of our military men do, and especially the marriageable ones. But of this enough until another time.

         AN ingenious dandy conceals his baldness in Paris, by having a complete set of thirty-one wigs, each one longer haired than the other; at the end of the month he had his hair cut, by beginning again at No. 1.

         Some tasteful individual very correctly remarks that the best lip salve in creation is a kiss: the remedy should be used with great care, however, as it is apt to bring on an affection of the heart.

         A clear stream reflects all objects upon its shore, but is unsullied by them; so it should be with our hearts--they should show the effect of all objects, and yet remain unharmed by any.

         WE love to listen to the soft breathings of the flute, the Æolian melodies of the harp, and the bewildering tones of the violin, but then the kettle-drum--"ah! there's the rub" -a dub.

         A CERTAIN editor is delighted at having nearly been called "honey" by the gal he loves, because she saluted him at their last meeting as "Old Beeswax!"

FIGHT WITH A JAGUAR, OR AMERICAN TIGER.

         The Galveston News, gives the following account of a desperate fight between Mr. Absalom Williams, who is about seventy years of age, his wife, and an enormous tiger:

         The tiger was first discovered on the premises of Mr. James Drake, who lives in the north portion of Jefferson county, where it entered his enclosure, attacked his horses, and killed one; besides wounding two others. While the tiger was committing its depredations, it was discovered by Francis Drake, son of the proprietor of the premises, who fired a shot gun at it, wounding it in the side, but not dangerously, when it made its escape[.] The next day, while Mr. and Mrs. Williams were sitting in their house (the rest of the family being absent), they were startled by a strange, noise in the yard, in front of their house. Mr. W., on going out, discovered his dog engaged with a tiger, when he seized an ox-yoke and aimed a blow at the "varmint," but, missing it, struck his dog. The dog then got away from the tiger, and retreated. In an instant the tiger sprung on Mr. Williams, and, seizing him by the hand, jerked him about twenty feet. The old gentleman, finding himself in the too powerful grasp of the wild animal, courageously determined to give it the best "rough and tumble fight" in his power; and, having no weapons within his reach, he seized the tiger by the throat with his other hand, and, throwing his whole strength forward, crushed the tiger to the ground, both falling side by side. At this time Mrs. Williams came to the rescue, with a gun, which she snapped at the tiger, but, there being no priming in the pan, it did not go off. Mr. W. then, with one arm round the tiger's body, and grasping its throat with his other hand, by an effort, disengaged himself. The tiger, discovering a new adversary in the person of Mrs. W., jumped at her, and attempted to grasp her head within its jaws, while it struck and lacerated her breast with its fore paws. She tried to avoid the monster, but was felled to the ground. The tiger made another grasp at her head, his upper teeth penetrating at the top of the skull and sliding along the bone, peeled off the skin till they met the lower teeth, which penetrated on the right side of her face.

         In the meantime, Mr. W. had seized the ox-yoke again, and, giving the tiger a tremendous blow, caused it to leave Mrs. W., when it leaped into the house and lot under the bed. The door was immediately closed, and the monster secured. Mr.


Page 75

W. was exhausted from the effects of his wounds, from which the blood flowed in streams; but not so his better half. When she saw their mutual foe thus attempt to take possession of their house, she determined to finish the battle, and, notwithstanding the severity of her wounds, her dress almost entirely torn from her person, and covered with blood, she deliberately took the gun, and, shaking some powder from the barrel into the pan, placed the muzzle between one of the openings which the logs of the house afforded, and fired with deadly aim. The tiger was killed. When subsequently measured, it was found to be twelve feet from the tip of its tail to its nose.

         During all the time the fight was going on, no one but those engaged in it were within hearing. Mr. W.'s nearest neighbor lives three miles off. However, as Mrs. W. was washing the blood from her person, a neighbor came riding by, and, alarmed at her appearance, inquired the cause. The old lady, unable from the loss of blood to speak, pointed to the dead body of the tiger.

        The escape of Mr. and Mrs. Williams is indeed wonderful, and they are now recovering gradually from their wounds.--Mr. W. jokes about the tiger fight, and intimates that the old lady was most enraged when the "varmint" took possession of his bed and house. It need hardly be added that Mr. Williams is a brave man. He fought the British at New Orleans, and subsequently the Mexicans, in the cause of Texas; but this last fight is, perhaps, the most singular of all. His wife, in intrepidity and daring, is worthy of him, and the two, together, are of that courageous class that have encountered forest wilds and frontier dangers--the pioneers of Christian civilization and American institutions.

         LET GOOD THINGS GO ROUND.--"Feller sogers," said a newly elected lieutenant of militia, "I'm all fired obliged to you for this shove up in the ranks you have given me. Feller sogers, I'm not going to forget your kindness soon, not by a darned sight; and I'll tell you what it is, I'll stick to my post like pitch to a pine board, so long as there's no fighting, but as I go in for rotation in office, and if we should come to blows with the enemy darn'd if I don't resign right off, and give every fellow a fair shake for fame and glory, and all that, ere."

         Every man cheerishes in his heart some object--some shrine at which his adoration is paid, unknown to his fellow-mortals.

COURTSHIP AND CLEANING HOUSE.

         It was the most golden and glorious of September days. The veil of blue haze hanging like a canopy over the distant hills, seemed absolutely to quiver in the radiant glow of the autumn sunshine, and the grapes, whose amethystine clusters blushed through the trellis of leaves, grew deeper in colour and more bloomy, as if they had stolen the imperial dye of a thousand purple sunsets and brilliant dawns, as the sun mounted higher and higher in the cloudless dome of heaven. No frescoed ceiling, hung with jeweled pendants, was ever more beautiful than this arbour of grape leaves where the light and shadow danced in fitful arabesques with every moving wind--and so thought Richard Mayfield as he came slowly up the garden path that led to his brother's house.

         The mansion itself, however, was far from presenting the gala aspect which pervaded all nature, aud our hero's countenance underwent a ludicrous transformation, as he eyed the yawning windows and wide open doors.

         "By all the powers," said he to himself, "if Isabel isn't cleaning! Well, women are the most unaccountable creatures! Well, I do believe they delight in turning things upside down and making themselves and the rest of the world uncomfortable. What's the use of choking people with dust, and deluging 'em with soap and water twice a year? However, let the dear enigmas have their own way. I'm sure I am the last person in the world to object!"

         With these philosophical reflections yet in his mind, Mr. Mayfield defiantly threaded his way through a colony of whitewash pails and lime kettles that surrounded the front door, and entered upon the scene of action. It was quite plain from the shout with which the children greeted his appearance, that he was a general favorite.

         "Hallo, uncle Dick, we're cleaning house!" cried Master Henry Augustus Mayfield, who was mounted astride of a doubled up feather bed, castigating it fearfully with his mother's best parasol.

         "Ain't it splendid, Uncle Dick?" exclaimed Miss Julia, who was endeavoring to "pry out" the principle of sound from a thirty dollar music box, by introducing a carving knife into its interior works, while Mrs. Mayfield, half distracted by calls from diverse directions, was totally unconscious of the mischief being wrought.


Page 77

         "Dick, I am so puzzled and annoyed," she said. "Here is John called to the city by a pressing law-suit, and the whole house upside-down!"

         "Thought that was what you ladies liked," said Dick, perching himself upon the top of the dining table, and rescuing a shell basket from the destructive grasp of the smallest Mayfield of all.

         ["]And my cook has gone, and the fire won't burn, and the wall-whiteners haven't come this morning, and the parlor ceiling is half unfinished, and you know the sowing society is to be here to-morrow night--and Dick, what shall I do?"

         "Don't fret!" said Richard, soothingly, "I'll make the fire burn, or I'll know the reason why; and I can finish the ceiling for you!"

         "You?"

         "Yes me. Didn't I white my own room at college, when we boys had smoked it into the colour of an old snuff-box? And then I'll tack the carpet down, and see about putting those dislocated bedsteads together."

         "But, Dick, you must be too tired after dancing until twelve o'clock at the pic-nic last night."

         "Me tired? Fiddlestick! Where's the refractory stove?"

         The very fire was not proof against Dick's sunny determination. It broke into a cheerful blaze the moment he attacked its citadel, and Isabel's face brightened simultaneously. The skill with which he next erected a scaffolding and mouuted thereon, with a panoply of whitewash pails and brushes, was perfectly astonishing, the more so, as his slender figure, rather pale complexion, aristocratically small hands and feet, conveyed the idea of one who was adapted only to pic-nics and glittering ball rooms.

         "I suppose the workmen didn't leave their wardrobes, when they went away last evening, Bell?" he asked, when he had scaled the rather perilous height.

         "No," said his sister-in-law laughing.

         "Then just hand up that old sheet--and a piece of the bedcord yonder. Now, don't you admire my tout ensemble?"

         "Uncle Dick looks like a ghost," said Master Henry Augustus.

         "No he don't--he looks like the old miller down at the Pond," struck in Miss Julia.

         "Upon my word, I don't know which of you is the most

complimentary," observed Richard drily. "Now, then, clear the track every soul of you, and give me a chance!"

         And he worked on, now breaking into a merry whistle, now pausing to survey his achievements, but oftenest of all, relapsing into thoughts of the beautiful young damsel at the pic-nic last night, who had been so studiously cold and reserved toward him.

         "She won't like me," thought he, "and I can't for the life of me tell why. Well, as I said before, women are unaccountable concerns!"

         "Amy," said Mrs. Brownleigh, to her pretty young cousin, "I wish you would just run over to Mrs. Mayfield's with this note. The children are at school, and I have no one to send."

         "Oh, no," said Amy, while a fresh tinge suffused her delicate checks. "I don't want to encounter that superfine young collegian."

         "Nonsense, he isn't there--he is staying with Harry Franklin."

         "Oh, then I will take the note." said Amy, rising, and looking round for her coquettish little gipsy hat.

         "You are the strangest girl, Amy." said her cousin. "What can be the reason that you dislike Richard Mayfield? He is handsome and so talented!"

         "I don't fancy these ornamental people," said Amy, demurely. "My husband must be of some use in the world!"

         "How do you know but that Mr. Mayfield is?"

         "Can't be possible," said Amy, archly shaking her curls. "His hands are too small for anything but lemon-coloured kid gloves. I'll wager a new bonnet, Alice, that he never did anything more laborious than to carry a box of cigars in his life!"

         Mrs. Brownleigh laughed, and Amy passed out of the vine-wreathed porch, wondering within herself whether Mr. Richard Mayfield had been very much vexed because she had refused to dance with him the evening before.

         Mrs. John Mayfield's house was at no very great distance, and as Amy was quite intimate with that lady, and understood the domestic saturnalia that was at present transpiring within her domains, she did not think it necessary to knock, but opened the door and walked in without ceremony.

         There stood Dick, the apex of a pyramidical scaffolding of boards, his fine broad cloth obscured by a lime-splashed sheet


Page 79

which was girded around his waist by a knot of rope, and his black curls overshadowed by a coarse, old straw hat, working away for dear life. His back was toward the door, and supposing the step to be that of his sister-in-law, he said gaily, without turning his head:

         "What! is the carpet ready so soon, Bell? I'm just through here, and I'll come and tack it down in a minute."

         Not receiving any answer, he threw down the brush and turned round.

         "Miss Brownleigh!"

         He never had looked so handsome in his life, and that was the first thought that rushed through Amy's mind, in the midst of all her embarrassment; for Dick had the advantage of the young lady in this respect--she was embarrassed, and he was not.

         He sprang, laughingly, to the ground a d threw off his ghostly drapery.

         "You must think I have a curious taste in costume," said he, archly, "but the truth is that Isabel has been disappointed in her work-people, and my mother is away from home, so I am helping her clean the house.["]

         "I did not know--I thought you had no taste--" stammered Amy, unconsciously speaking out her thoughts.

         "You supposed that I was nothing more than an ornamental piece of furniture? Ask Isabel about that," said Dick, half piqued, half smiling. "But can I be of any use to you now?"

         "I had a note from my cousin for Mrs. Mayfield," said Amy, still speaking scarce above her breath.

         "She has gone down to the further orchard," said Dick. "It is some distance, and not a very straight path. If you will wait until I remove a little of this lime, I shall be happy to escort you down there."

         Half an hour ago, Amy would have haughtily informed him "it was quite unnecessary for her to trouble him,"-- now she stood still and waited.

         It was a long walk under the spreading shadow of noble old apple trees, bending with their weight of crimson and russet fruit, and through meadows ankle deep in purple and bloom, and nodding plumes of golden-rod, yet, for all that, Amy was quite surprised when Mrs. Mayfield came in sight, carrying a little basket of rose-cheeked peaches from a pet tree beyond.

         We believe it is one of woman's special and incontrovertible privileges to change her mind--therefore, nobody was


Page 80

so much astonished when, three months subsequently, there was a rumor of the "engagement" of Mr. Mayfield and Miss Brownleigh! Still, however, Dick always declared that it was an insoluble mystery to him that when serenades and schottisches, poetry and perfumes, had all failed to win an entrance to the maiden's heart, a whitewash brush should have been the unromantic weapon which, at last, brought down the barricade!

AN AMERICAN AT WATERLOO.

         M. LEON GOZLAN, a clever French magazinist, has just published two volumes of Miscellanies, in one of which is an account of a visit he made, a few months ago, to the field of Waterloo, and he give us in it an illustration of French feeling. The following anecdote, told by one of the guides to M. Gozlan, as a fact which had come under his own special observation, is particularly rich: An English traveler and an American traveler ascended, at the same time, the Mountain of the Lion, to enjoy the vast panorama of the battle-field. The same guide served for both. He commenced his recital with as much impartiality as possible; but at length he could not avoid saying, "Here the French gave way before the impetuous charge of the English." Upon which, the American muttered, "That's not true!" The Englishman looked at him and the guide continued. Soon afterwards he was obliged to say, in the course of his narrative, "In the ravine to which I am pointing the French were put to flight by the English cavalry." "That's not true," repeated the obstinate American. The Englishman looked at him again, and calmly turned up his cuffs; the American did so too. A third time the guide, whose oratorical powers were now in full swing, announced a fact more glorious to the English than to the French, and a third time the American coolly added, "That's not true!" They went on for some time; but upon the eighth contradiction of the American, the Englishman threw himself upon him; the American parried the blow, and with clenched fists they bagan to box in solemn silence. They boxed upon a platform scarcely two yards across, and over a perpendicular precipice of more than a hundred and forty feet in depth. Their rage increased with the force of their blows; they closed, wrestled and fell, and locked in each other's embrace, they rolled from the top to the bottom of the mountain. They were neither dead nor wounded, but the American getting up from the ground, said to the Englishman, "No sir, it is not true."

         RUMOURS are usually composed of a mixture of truth and falsehood, and there always mingles in the medley a sufficiency of truth to obtain credit for the falsehood.

         AMONG the Romans the gift of a ring was badge of liberation from slavery. Married people can best explain whether it is so amongst the moderns.

         POLITENESS pays about as well as almost anything else that costs as little. Think of it.

         THE captain of a vessel is not governed by his mate, but a married landsman generally is.

         WHEN you get pretty well out of employment, try attending to your own business for a while.

         ASSUMED qualities may catch the affections of some; but one must possess qualities really good to fix the heart.

         IF motives were always visible, men would often blush for their most brilliant actions.

         IT is astonishing, how keen even stupid people are in discovering imaginary affronts.

         THE penance we can do for envying another's merit is to endeavour to surpass it.

         RELIGION, of the heart may justly and truly be called the heart of religion.

         Books are embalmed minds--fame is a flower upon a dead man's heart.

         MEN wounded by the explosion of bombshells are wounded mortarly.

         THE ocean, which is forever sounding, sometimes gets sounded.

         A novel may be very old, and yet what is old cannot be novel.

         DILIGENCE is a fair fortune and industry a good estate.

         He who knows himself has occasion for humility.

         Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good.

         PUT your money into a box if you like, but not a dice-box.
