My First and only Experience.
On ant: Em: ws, S. C,
July ?th, 1877.
p k a it l\ ate :
Un tlio very day that I received
your long looked-for letter, I had
written lo ti friend about Ihc satno
feelings that saddened you; then,
when I read of your dejection, I felt
more forcibly how dreary the pros
pect is for the young heart to look
lb ward lb nothing pleasant stored
away for it in iho future, and to feel
ihe bitterness of tin aimless existence,
devoid of every thing it most desires.
Youth is generally hopeful, but if
such tin outlook would he gloomy to
one whose keel is almost ready to
grate on the other shore, what must
it be to ihc young voyager but fairly
launched on the dangerous current ?
It is sad lor us to lind sorrows strewn
so thickly along the wayulrcidy, but
I long ago learned tee bitter truth,
and found out I bat no words ever
emanated Iroin i he pen of pod truer
? lhau tlie ib lowing lines :
"Ah ! Lilc h:i< its vi-ion- of beauty,
but its hope* ami Usjoys ilceUiie;
Ksicli heart holds an urn of dead roses!"
And I can Iruthi'ully add, "many
have withered in mine."
Did you ever feel the. power and
pathos in the little interjection at the
beginning of the quotation ? I mean
when it is appropriately applied..
Alas is considered full of meaning,
hut it has none for me, while the other
conveys a full heart of sadness.
A great deal of poetry has been
dedicated to spring, und rvery yen
some lunatic; alllicts newspaper read
ers by grinding out a few verses on
the subject, but .as poetry is not coat -
monly true, this "gentle visitor" i.-.
always the companion ol envoi,
sickness, tind a miserable, distrait
feeling with me, and it seem:, with
you, likewise. You remember what
"fits of blues" we had last spring? I
attributed it to your being in love
dien, and perhaps,? though, ho, I
reckon not,?maybe. 1 am suHering
from it now. 1 have been trying for
two vents as hard as I can lo full in
love, just to see how it does m ike a
l.ody It el. Lately, 1 was in hopes 1
was successful, lor, when a certain
blue eyed chap (and I an adorer of
blue eyes) Hushed up crimson, and
trembled in my pre-euce, 1 could1!
help feeling a qtieir little thrill Steal
down inside my chest. L curiously
noted it, and observed, eagerly, the
clfcct on myself as the tingling,
shivering sensation crept down near
the region of iiiy heart and died out
in a little flutter. Immediately
thereupon, a serene smile stole over
my features, a ge.ial warmth per
vaded my system, and a glow of poeti
cal sentiments flooded my brain. I
felt then that 1 would be. willing, if
that boy would sit by and tell me. of I
the Centennial, to fry bat lor cakes for
him over a light wood blaze, (though
a Hushed face is not sit all becoming
to me) or wash up any amount of
dishes if he would stand near and ,
wipe bho dry occasionally. Indeed,
I was wrought up to such a height of
devotion, that, ovea if I do detest
tobacco and its manipulators, (that
iush't the word, but 'twill suit my
purpose) I would patiently sit down
and make fancy, fringed pipe-lighters
with which to touch off his cigar
(seg.ir?tho shop-keepers have it
now) while he. read for my delecta
tion some choice passages from'fenny
son's melodious poems, lint, Kate,
after all J am do jilted to disappoint
ment. After the exuberant emotions
recorded above, I experienced the
second stage of the tender allliction. A.
pleasing sadness came over me its I
thought of the possibility ol his car
ing moro for some one else than for
me. J pictured myself going discon
solately through life, roaming lone
ami eluerlcss among gay revelers,
with a growing m? Inheholy tugging
al n.y heart, and seeing all my bright
hopes, "as dreams upon the slumber
ing sense,
Pass unfulfilled away,
And leave hut mcmory'H grieving bells,
Tliatsoh and moan, likeoerean shells*,
Kvci and ill way."
(Do have patience with mo, it is
iiiy iirst ami only experience, anil
yon know I promised to tell il to you
when it did come.") Then with humid
eyes aild a big lump in my thoracic
elongation extending between the
head and shoulders, 1 thought of us
?3 "walking a part, forever and wav
ing our hands in mute farewell" as
we should "speed out lonely paths,
thro' Iii ist, and cloud; and gloom ?to
meet no more!" Hut, oh ! what a
pang shot through every fibre of iiiy
sensitive organization as tho image
flashed -through my excitedbruin of
his "eyes of passionless, peaceful
blue, like twilight which faint stars
gaze through smiling in tender joy
upon another girl.*' Ah! I was in
de pair, but. even in that moment of
supreme agony, I forced myself 11
ihc resolve, that the world should
never know il, "only my hear!to my
heart will show it as I walk deso
late day by day."
Yes, I bittcrl) felt, that "of all sad
words of tongue or pen :
The saddest would he, 'It might have Wen,'
litil rt ulder still, ami still more oft we sec:
11 is, Inn li?tlii't ought lo he."
Hut a new revelation has co ne t >
me to day. My final thought as I
retired last night, was, that I would
certainly patronize and encourage
these sensations to see how il would
end; however, I woke up this morn
ing with fever ami sorcthrnut; then,
in an instant, I saw it. all ! I tear ihc
disappointment will seriously inj uro rf
my constitution, as 1 fond I) dream el
I wj.s actually falling into the. usual
I'dly of youth, and now, I have heed
rudely awakened to the ridiculously
mortilying fact, that il. was only a
common case of spring fever creeping
on me \\ it h sit it'ihy approach. Oh,
dear! some griefs gnaw deep, smite
woes are hard lo bear. Sadder to
relate, a ra lical change has come
over my sentiments with regard to j
the lovely Adonis. It I kifewhewas j
passing right now, I would not take ,
the trouble lo convey my corporeal
system over the distance intervening
between me and the window even for
a glimpse of his entrancing feil tu res,
ami should he come in ami rattle
j over a story of undying love, I am
j confident the course I'd pursue,
wmibl be a mixture of iudill'ercnec,
nonchalance, a little contempt, and
titter disregard of the speaker.
I There! Kate Catherine, I know
[you are convinced that, your corres
pondent writes sheer nonsense; but,
n\tu-hcn\ you were feeling gloomy,:so
was T, so 'twould never do to nourish
?such feelings, and as I'm afraid of
stereotyped topics, 1 had to fall back
on my own resources; however, I
never expressed myself on this topic
before, ami I know you would like to
hear my opinion, therefore, I'll con
tinue in the same Hue. Seriously, I
think if very humdrum, as much sons
did ihc Diu? West girl, who '.old her
beau a short time since, that she
liked "goobers" belter than love.
When I sec twoyouiig people exhibit
I iug much delight in each other's
company, all smiles and pleasantness,
ami unable, or not caring, to conceal
their decided preference, 1 cast a pro
phetic eye into their future, an I what
do I behold 'i A gruff, careless, pro
voking old, commonplace chap, with
a strong regard for tobacco, au 1 a
faded, tired out, disappointed woman,
dressed in tho pokiest ofhniiiiets,
interested in housework, gart I en s,
neighborhood gossip, and?nothing
else?I suppose people fall into ji
habit of carelessness,still 1 ain't sec
why they shouldn't, try to be agree
able alter they an; settled down for
life, ami n il drag along like snails.
I came across n little poem in which
the idea 1 have, isyo well expressed,
and the question I've wondered over,
is put j o i crtinonily, ihat I'll give
you the benefit of it. It is too poeti
cal for ordinary life, but is a hyper
bolical illustration of thi glum >tt r
seen by average, nay, all, lovers,
though the after-til night contained
in the last verse, seldom conies to
them :
"Hand hi hand, on the river of time,
\\'c 'AO lloating down together;
Soft are the blue skies above our heads,
Balmy the spring-time rcatht-r.
1'rightly thewitters reflect (lie jiiih,
As we glitte in drehitty splendor; '
Softly the hreezes till our sails,
Murmuring low ami lender,
Siveel arc the hint firings lipon tin."short's,
Km-hanting the sceiiuammid us;
With noiseless feel steal the moments hy
Sinee Cujiitl, the love-god erowned us.
O do you think, in the after years,
"With the it lory (ifyouth departed,
We then sliall stand still hand in hand
And heart to heart, as we started?"
On reviewing, as the magazines
.say, I think there is :i plain, co'union
pluco fact underlying this lirst verse,
in wliicli the lunatics are represented
as floating down the river of time; lor,
matrimony at present, as well as life
generally; is a mere floating on lite
current, borne at will liy the Udo of
circumstances and tossed in any di
rection by th". force of events. It is
not a vigorous paddling of your own
canuoe. The occupants are dissatis
fied, that there serins lit) feasible w.ty
to control the bark. Now as to the
"blue skie;," "the balmy spring-time,
t.right, waters," &e. I doubt if nature
is so beautiful con lein plated alone.
"Wo glide in dreamy splendor" ?
well, I did never glide there myself,
?but bow such terms: can be applied to
silly girls and thick-headed boys, is
beyond tin* comprehension, lint the
"sweet songs a ml enchanting scones,''
where with "noiseless feet steal the
moments by"?I know then, still I
was not aware that ' Cupid, the love
god," was lurking anywhere around;
jnor do I think anything can be added
to deepen the meaning of the last
.verse, onl)', it. is a lamentable fact,
that the "band in hand ' is permitted
so much before the life-contract as
to become distasteful through famili
arity,? truly, \Yebsi,.;r w.ts grimly
?facetious when h.s d jfi 1 ?.} a "fain i

LONDON*, May 20.?A distinguish
ed personage, whose arrival here on a
visit is awaited with considerable
curiosity by the public and with
great interest by Mr. Darwin's Prien Is
and enemies, is just now receiving
innumerable calls from his large cir
cle of friends in lWlin. II: is called
I'ongo, and is the most interesting
result of a Prussian seien tili; expedi
tion into tho inter or of Africa.
An account of his habits is fur
nished by a correspondent in the
Prussian capita', who is on terms of
grc.it intimacy with him : "Poiign
is now," the writer helic es, "nearly
three years old, and he is about three
feet high; his b > ly is covered with
sott, silky hair,mixed with gray, and
reddish on the heal. He has a
powerful form, muscular arms,
smooth, polished Ida :k faca, with
weM shaped ears, and la rge, sh arp
and malicious eyes, which gives him
a strikingly human appearance.
When one has the pi cosh re, as I had
this week, of spending a morning with
him in his apartment, he strikes you
? after having got over the slight
feelings of disuppnintni;n*. which it
produced by the absence of any bridge
tu his no-e?.is being sing tlarly like
a very amusing, playful, and goo I
uatiired negro b y. rather awkward
in some of his go; tu re?, an 1, in his
mode of progression, sometinios dis
tinctly ape 'ike. As In- sits, looking
solemn around him, ho appears to be
thinki.ig of what the next joke shall
he, until presently something in your
gestures or voice pleases him, and
then suddenly be claps his hands to
gether and nods with an iiir of great
delight.
"He is very sociable, and distin
guishes young from old an I male
from female visitors. He is exceed
ingly attached tu society of children
of two or three years old, plays about
with them as though recognizing them
as playfellows of his own age, chases
them around the cage, allows them to
pull him about, drag him by the legs
and roll him over and over, swings
with them on the trapeze, kisses them
if they allow him, and permits them
to take every kind o! liberty without
making any unfair use of his superior
strength. With nhler children he
seems to understand thai ho m ly be
more rough, and, when he is racing
about with them, lie slyly upsets a
chair, ami takes the appurtuuity of
giving them friendly boxes on the
ear. When ladies visit him in his
large cage, which is suitably furnish
ed with sofas, chairs and table, trap
e/.e, and all kinds of gym it as ti e appli
ance; they have nofliihg to fear, ex
cept from his somewhat importunate
amiability. He is particularly de
lighted if they, take hi in up in their
arms; he einoraces them and leans
his head against their shoulders with
a grateful and gratified air; he is by
no means willing to be set down
again.
"The Berlin Aquarium, in which
ho now holds court, is rich in varie
ties of the larger monkeys, and when
he goes into the monkey's cage he
rules there supreme Even the cliim
pan/ec, who resembles very much in
his clever human ways an old favor
ite of London at Ihc Zoological Gar
dens, treats him as distinctly his
superior. The gorilla, however, ap
pears to recognize the, chimpanzee as
nearly his equal, chooses almost ex
clusively for his playmate, ami be
stows friendly but rather rough
caresses on him. He is fond of get
ting bohl of the chimpanzee, keeping
him down and rolling him over on
the ground. Sometime Tscliego man
ages to slip from under him, an I then
fongo sprawls awkwardly on tlio
floor on both liand.s, and looks up
with ah expression of accepted defeat;,
lie walks on tbo sole? of bis feet,
leaning at the same time on the out
side of his hand-*, but he turns out Iiis
toes far more than the chimpanzee,
and he.carries bis bead more grandly
erect, this seeming to be the mark of
high social standing. When in high
Spirits be has a way of showing the
lip of his rod tongue, which makes
his black face look all the more like
that of a negro boy.
"His mode of life is as human as
are all his w ays. lie sleeps on a mat
tress rolled in a rug, and at about M
o'clock in the morning he rises in his
bed, sits up. yawns, scratches himself,
anil remains in a sleepy, listless con
dition till be has taken bis milk,
which be drinks out n tumbler. Ho
is no v wideawake, and leaves bis bed
and looks about the room for some
thing to play with, and perhaps, if
he is allowed, to destroy; for he is as
mischievous as any child or as any
monkey. Then be looks out of the
window, chips his hands, and for
want of some more suitable compan
ionship, begins to play with his keep
er. '1 his man must be continually
in attendance on him; he does not
allow himself to be left alone for a
single moment. If be finds himself
alone, he utters the shrillest cries un
til he regains the society of man. At
11 o'clock the gorilla is tubbed, an
operation in which he takes the great
est delight, expressing his approval
in bass notes, which, perhaps, it will
be impolite to call grhbtlngs.
"lie takos bis meals at the usual
German hours; for breakfast he lr.is
.sausages, preserved meat, cheese and
tin: favorite ISerlin white beer. It is
exltcmely funny to see him try to
hold the glass*with his fat, short fin
gers, while lie is assisting himself"
with bis feet, lie is fond of fruit,
which he eat' "ith the most gentle
manly deliberation, carefully remov
ing '.he stone when eating cherries or
other fruit of the kind. At 1 o'clock
the keeper's wife brings him his
lunch, and he seems to possess so
punctual an internal monitor of the
lime that this should be brought that,
he is always extremely impatient if
it is not there to the minute, and al
ways goes down to the passage to
look for it when he hears the bell
ring. He begins by looking into the
glasses, and tries to steal something
out of them, whereupon he usually
has his ears boxed, and then them^al
begins, consisting of gravy soup, rico
or \egetables boiled with meat, &3.
Sometimes it finishes up by a most,
welcome slice of roast chicken; this is
his great treat.
"After bis meal he wants a siesta,
like all other inhabitants of tropical
climates. After a sleep of about an
hour or an hour : .d a half he.is ready
for more play. In the afternoon ho
has some fruits, and in the evening
lea or milk, and bread and butter,
lie goes to bed at 0 o'clock, lying
down oil Ids mattress "to be wrapped
up in tlie woolen blanket. He al.vays
insists, however, on his keeper sitting
by him till be is asleep, whichsoi>ii
conies to him. lie prefers, however,
being allowed to sleep with the keep
er, and then he puts his arm round
his keeper's neck ard leans bis head
against him. He sleeps uninterrup
ted all night. In the way of life ho
has lived ami thriven, until ho has
increased in weight, so hi 3 thirty saveti
pounds. A sh. it lime ago he fell ill
with bronchitis. He was a very rest
less and impatient invalid, and seem
ed uttei iy wretched and far from ami
able in temper. Many doctors as
sembled round him every day. Ho
was heated with quinine and Kms
water, and a uui brm, moist temper
ature was kept up in the room. Now,
however he has completely recover
ed. CSre.it anxiety was minifcsted by
the people of Herl in during his illness,
ami niori than a hundred cards a day
were loll upon him.
