POOR POLLY PODGE;
OR,
HOW I CAME TO l$H IKAUKIKl).
iiY w. w. woonsox.
On reaching man's estate, I found
myself sole owner of a farm worth
from one thousand to Lwclvc hundred
dollars, with home; other trilling pro
perty, and having taught the district
school for several successive winters,
had laid up a few hundred dollars in
cash; 1 was young, addicted lo no
had Itahits, and thought myself hand
some, though I have since been told
that this was wholly a mistake. At
any rate, I was a most eligible matri
monial partner, ns I should say many
of the girls in the iiciglihorhrTod
thought, .judging from sonic their
little mancuvres. Suspecting them
of woidly and mercenary motives, I
fought shy, and contrived to keep
myself out of the meshes of love and
all entangling alliance"..
Hut 1 had now reached a turning
point in my destiny?a tide in the
hitherto unbroken current of my life.
A certain Col. Stanhope purchased a
farm and located himself ami family
m our inimcdia e neighborhood. I
had no sooner set my eye- up n Ella
Stanhope than I resolved to win her.
She was without doubt the most,
beautiful creaturo J oversaw. I lost
no time in fbrmirg her acquaintance,
and found that her manners were as
engaging as her face was lovely. All
my usual apathy and indifference to
wards her sex vanished, and 1 became
ardent, in iho pursuit of I his cherish
ed object. J ii this pursuit 1 encoun
tered one very serious obstaclOi Miss
Stanhope was at all time.-, at home
ai*d abroad, in company with an
aunt, a maiden si.-lcr of h. r deceased
mejtierj a Miss Podge?Miss Polly
Podge. This lady had seen, perhaps,
.-?nine forty llowery summers pass, but
doiiht'ess la l?o red under the im
pression; as she strove to impress lip;
i n ethers, that she was yet in the
llusl: and spring-time ol life.
She was all luioyaneo and guish?
diossed in V. c gayest colors, had the
merricsl laugh ami brightest coin
p c.vj44^4n^;!giuaj^d(\__ Jl^r eonveiva
"Ttrn'i fnirly" bubbled and sparkled,
and often when I was sighing for a
itlr-tt-le c wiib 1-IIa, she would over
whelm me with a very eat'irsict of
airy m things tth'1 "??.?? it'rsjnit.
Of course I treated b.-r with the
greatest civility, on her own account,
and thinking thai to establish thyself
:n the gbod graces oi the elder lady
might advance my interests with the
younger, exhibited, perhaps, a little
liitirc warmth I wards Miss; Podge tliati
I ought to linve done.
1 Knew that this lady attended to
the domestic concerns of the family,
and in calling on Kila, would select
such hours as I thought Miss Podge
would be compelled to devote lo
house-bold matters. Hut all my
strategy was vain. She was evcr prc
tout, or if called away would come
hurrying back in a moment, with a
rush and gush, with a merry laugh
or sparkling /.<</i m<>t on her lips that
set my teeth oil edge, though of com so
I bud tu "grin horriblv a ghastly
smile.*'
1 was desperate, especially as I be
gan to discover, as 1 imagined, signs
of tenderness in EPu's manner when
ever we were for a eminent alone to
gether. How lo get rid or my merci
less tormentor became the study of
my life. I began ?o question if there
would be stich ' deep damnation in
her taking oil'," when the eh.nice, I lie
golden opportunity I bad so long
been seeking, unexpectedly presented
itseM;
1 called one evening, as usual, and
found both ladies in the drawing
room. 1 sal till bile, waiting for a
chance. At last Miss Podge declar
ed that she must go and attend to
? on, or wo would gel nothing to eat.
1 rose at the same time lo take my
leave.
"Won't you slay and lake tea with
us, Mr. Pepper?" asked Miss Podge.
J declined, and making my adieus
lo Kila, left I he room, accompanied
by the elder holy, who went to the
rear of the house its I came out tit the
IVont. I walked lo the gate and
stopped.
?is'ow," thought!, "is the time. I'll
slip back, and if Ella is still there,
I'll do the business before thul'old
od. returns."
1 went back, opened the door cau
tiously and looked in. It was quite
dink, bi't the shimmer of Klla's light
dress was plainly visible, just where I
had left bora moment before.
Without loss of linn; I stepped to
where she sal. Kneeling by her
chair, 1 look her hand in mine, and
poured forth the ponl-up feelings of
niy heart.
"Dearest, how long, how impatient
ly I have waited for this hour. UTow
long I have sighed to breathe the.
?ccilL of my love. Oh, darling, 1 do
love you with nil the intensity of my
nature.' Can you, will you bo
mim? ?"
,-Thino, only thine," was the sweet
whisper I but fell upon my delighted
ours.
(Jeiiily my arm stole around bei'
yielding form. My lips were pressed
10 her own, in a paroxysm of bliss
when the door opened and a light
11 ashed into I he room.
Merciful heaven! Kilo, herself
stood in I ho door, lamp in hand 1
made love to ami been accepted bv
Miss 1'plly I'odgo!
J was too completely dumb-found
ed even to i ise from my knees. My
fiance was the first to recover her
composure.
"Klla," she exclaimed in a tone of
Vexation, "this is a very Inopportune
j interruption. Rut as you doubtless
; judgo from appearances,' dear Rich
ard has proposed it ud I have accepted
! him."
'T am very Sorry, dear aunt, to
have interrupted such an agreeable
(clc-a-t-tc, but really I was not dream
! ing of such a seem;," and as her eyes
I fell upon me, she burst into a storm
j of irrepressible laughter. "However,"
she continued, "as i have been unin
tentionally a witness of your betre
ib?], permit ine to extend both to
yourself and Mr. Popper hiy sihecrest
congratulations," and with a bow b!
grave courtesy she deposited the lump
oh a table and left nie t? my fate.
"Miss Podge," I exclaimed us soon
as we were alone, "1 assure you this
is all a mistake.."
''Howa mistake;?" slicuskcd sharp
ly. '-Von .have just, in plain terms
made known your love lb me, and 1,
in all candor, have accepted your
pro fibred hand."
" Yes, but dear Miss Podge, I really
mistook you for another lady. 1 had
no idea that i was making ail oiler of
my band to ybit-"
"Come, sir," she said interrupting
me, ' this is lucre trilling,and I am
not in the habit of being trilled with
in this way. (I believed her from
my very soul.) What do you moan
by mistaking me for another lady?
what holy ?"
"Ybm i.iece, Miss Stauhope," I
answered.
- -i'JClla !" she said.- ^Why,.sir T..be
lieve it is generally known that my
niece is to be married in a few weeks
to a gentleman she has long known
and loved. Oh ! Richard, why do you
thus try mo'{ I love you, and this
treat incut when we should be all
tenderness to each other, breaks my
heart. You hr.vc no idea, 1 hope, of
socking some nxcbse already to cancel
our :etignguteiit???
'?Rciiiiy, Miss Podge," I icplied,
"1 hope you will forgive me, but 1 do
not consider that any engagement ex
ists between us. You don't suppose
1 ever intended, at my a rc, tu oiler
my hand lady of your years
That did it ! she just g'nrod at mo
like a veritable fury.
"My years!" she shrieked; "how
dare you thus add insult to injury ?
Rut you shall repent it sir. If there,
is justice in the land you'shall stiller
for thus wantonly breaking your
plighted word, au 1 trilling with the
feelings of an unsuspecting .7"'/.''
The last words she fairly yelled in
my ears as she hurried front the room.
Well, 1 bud done Lhc business wit h
a vengeance, truly. The last-words
of Miss Podge loll me in no doubt as
to the course she intended to pursue.
She evidently intended to bring >i suit
against me for breach of eonlrael, and
all 1 had to do was to prepare mysolf
lor lh<! contest. 1 was therefore in no
wise sin -prised w hen, a lew weeks
later, ati officer of the law cited ine to
appear on a certain day, al our county
town to answer in t he suit of "Podge
vs Pepper."
Miss ' oilge placed her casein the
hands of eminent counsel, and I did
the same. In due time the case came
up for trial, and no one can imagine
the mortification 1 experienced at
being compelled to figure in such a
drama; but to protect my interests
there was no alternative. Everything
1 had was at stake, for Miss Podge
had laid her damages at !>."),()()(}. Miss
Stanhope was the chief witness, and
as she detailed minutely the scenes
she had w itnessed between the and the
plaintiff, particularly the love, .scene
in the last act, lucre was u sensation
in the crowded court-room.
The ease was ably argued on both
sides My counsel acquitted himself
to my entire satisfaction, and at the
close of his speech, L felt confidentrpf
a verdict. I could plainly see, too,
favor in the eyes of the jury. Rut
iny hopc3 willed like wax before the
plaint ill's lawyer finished the closing
argument. 1 absolutely writhed

About Goats.
Tj\: It; Peter.?, of Atlanta Georgia,
gives an; interesting account, which
we ob.-erve copied in the Ilariil Caro
luuini, of his experience in raising the
Cash mere, Angora and the Thibet,
goal. He made his first purchase in
lS5d from Dr. Jas. I>. Davis, at that
time living hear Columbia. He had
been on; a mission to Turkey to in
troduce Uho culture of cotton in the
.Sultan's dominions, und on his return
was presented by him with a selection
of the lincst specimens of fleece bear
ing goats. Dr. Peters subsequently
added to his stock from six di(lerenI
importations from Asia, and has suc
ceeded, by the observance of certain
rules of selection, in obtaining a thick

gvls its full growth, averaging ill

A manufacturing company at

purchases all the mohair that can be
obtained at from sixty to ninety cents
per pound. Mr. Peters lias sold his
crop for several years lit about the
same figures to the New York Plush

pay well to go regularly into the

say, as a "side speculation." The

dream, nice r the following eircuin

weeks of each other, and one night in

by his bed, and a little distance away

his back turned towards him. tits

"Here are seven dollars." He at
tached no significance to the dream

he received a latter stating that his
brother, who was on a Western road,
had been badly crushed, and reques
