If a man would set good examples they might hatch better habits. It is impossible to travel into a woman’s affections by getting on her train. W e don’t know of anything sweeter than a seventeen-year-old girl-baby, after all. The individual who was accidentally injur ed by the discharge of his duty is still very low. Navy blue lips and cardinal red noses will be the prevailing styles as soon as cold weath er sets in. Anew social philosopher says the art of flirt ing is in its infancy. It will be a sad day when the thing is grown up. “Courtship is bliss.” said an ardent .young man. “Yes, and matrimony is blister,” snarled an old bachelor. Young swell—“l should like to have my moustache dyed.” Polite barber—“ Certai nly. Did you bring it with you?” The man with a hump on his back is sighing for the day when a bustle will be a fashionable article of dress for the male sex. A city missionary was asked the cause of his poverty. “Principally,” said he, “because I have preached so much without notes.” \\ hat is the difference between an accepted and a rejected lover ? The accepted lover kisses the Miss and the rejected misses the kiss. Women are presumptuous creatures. They always ask for a lock of their lovers hair be fore marriage, and take it without asking afterward. A young lady who lately “came out” in Mississippi society took snuff, and was spoken of as the “scenter of attraction” during the evening. A noted philosopher being asked by a friend how he kept himself from being involved in quarrels, replied, “By letting the angry per son have it all to himself.” “It was little three-year old who, when a carpenter had been called in to ease the doors, ran into an adjoining room to tell her mother that he was “taking the skin off the door.” “You write for money, but I write for honor,” exclaimed an author in the fury of dispute with another author. “Ah ! each writes for what he most needs,” replied his companion. A doctor recently gave the following pre scription for a sick lady :—“A new bonnet, a Cashmere shawl and a silk dress.” The lady, it is needless to say entirely recovered. No woman, however nervous she may be, has any right to wake her husband from a sound sleep, to tell him, on his inquiring what is the matter, “Nothing, only I wanted to know if you were awake.” A negro witness in a trial the other day was asked what he was doing in a certain liquor shop at a certain time, lie explained that he had gone there to “change his breff.” The explanation was accepted. Sister—“ Well, you know, Bobby, your eye’s very inflamed ; you can’t go out with Tommy Brown till that speck of dust's outofit,” Bob by (anxious to be off) —“ I’m all right—l know its out now ; I think I heard it fall!” We’ve suspected for some time past that measures would have to be taken to check the alarmingly rapid growth of the Smith family. And, sure enough, a Pennsylvania man ex hibits at the Centennial a “Smith roller and crusher.” A young fellow eating some old Cheshire cheese at a tavern one night exclaimed— “ Now, I have done as much as Samson, for I have slain my thousands and ten of thous ands.” “Yes,”retorted the other, “and with the jaw-bone of an ass.” It is said that on a certain occasion a some what celebrated English divine discovered, but only when already in the pulpit, that he had forgotten his manuscript. Whereupon he called to the clerk, “Jones, I have left my sermon at home, so hand up the Bible, and I’ll read them a chapter from Job worth ten of it.” A few da}’s ago, as President Chadbourne, of Williams College, during a lecture was tell ing the freshmen class that the notion of al lowing girls to enter the college for the sake of their good influence on the boys was not as sound as it might be, a freshman raised his nand and inquired : “ Don’t you think it would have a good influence on the 3’oung ladies ?” JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GA., SATURDAY.

A little lad of dark brown hair, A little blue-eyed face and fair, A little lane that leads to school, A little pencil, slate and rule.

A writer describing, in Forest and Stream ,, the men and manners of Virginia sixty or seventy years ago, incidentally mentions the curious way in which a duel was ended by a snake. Two gentlemen, Mr. Conway and Maj. Randolph, arranged one of those wicked and foolish methods of settling a quarrel, mis named “an affair of honor.” The writer says: The place of meeting was an open glade in a forest. Attended by the seconds and a surgeon, the parties met early one morning, and after courteously saluting each other, fell back while their friends settled the prelimi naries. These were soon finished, and plac ing the rapiers in the hands of the principals, they were ordered to set to. Both were accomplished swordsmen. From the first Conway acted on the defensive, and slowly backed under the Major’s fierce onset. The keen rapiers gleamed and flashed as they cut through the morning air in the vicious lunge or guarded parry. The seconds soon saw that Conway was winding his antagonist, who was already breathing hard, and they saw, too, that as soon as he was out. of breath Conway would pick him in any spot he chose. The end was near.. A furious rush of Randolph’s caused the wily swordsman to retreat, parrying at the same time the lunges of his foe ; but as he was pressed back he felt a stinging sensation on his ankle, and glancing down saw a cop perhead snake, coiled and in the act of sink ing his fangs into him for the second time. With a cry of horror he threw down his sword and leaped sideways. The situation was understood at a glance. In a twinkling the surgeon had him oil the grass, cutting away the flesh from the punc tured spot, and dosing him with whiskey, and none worked over him more heartily than the man who a moment before faced him in a mortal combat. This prompt treatment saved lus life, and, beyond a swelling of the limb, no harm re sulted. It was found out afterward that the serpent had a nest near the spot, which ac counted for its unusual boldness. Mr. Con way never fought another duel after that. Woodhull entertains the read ers of the Boston Globe with a relation of marvels. She tells Tilton’s story of her cure for her child as follows : “The boy was attacked with scarlet fever. One day my mother met me at the door and said, “Your boy died two hours ago.” With out knowing what I did I stripped my clothes open from my breast and clutched him to it with all m3’ strength. As I did so the ceil ing of the rooom disappeared from my view and the form of the Saviour descended. I stood fixed in the middle of the room with him thus clasped in m3’ arms for seven hours. When I returned to consciousness and releas ed him from my arms, he was not only re stored to life, but the disease was gone.” She sa3’s that since then Christ has several times appeared to her, and that the spirits of De mosthenes and Alexander the Great are her companions. Another of her credence wrench ing narratives is this : “A woman given up to die, was brought to my house. For ten days and nights I never left her side, nor tasted a morsel of food or drop of water, nei ther did I sleep. At the expiration of the tenth da3 r she was restored. I never admin istered a drop of medicine or did anything, save give her my presence. My flesh under- went an almost transparency. I could see the blood circulating in 1113" veins, and my face had a light about it that was never so appa rent before or since, although I have had ap proximations to it on the rostrum when it has been noticed by the audiences.” Mr. Robert M. Howard says that his cow heretofore has been “giving” three pounds of butter a week, and on last Tuesda3% when Tilden was elected, she gave four pounds at one churning. Now, this is what our new President is doing for 11s. He is restoring confidence everywhere, and this cow didn’t know her until she grazed under a new administration. A general “reform” will be seen everywhere, and in all stages of life and industn% and America is again hap py’.—Columbus Enquirer. A Quick Juror. We heard his honor, Judge Gibson, on Tues day, tell an amnsing story of the way a juror went for a conviction. He says he was trying a murder case a few years ago, down in one of the wire-grass counties, and experienced great difficult}' in getting a jury ; that eleven jurors had been sworn in, and in the next panel that was brought in was a small, lean, lank, cadaverous-looking fellow who had on one shoe, his pants were nearly above his knees, his shirt open both front and back, and the aforesaid trousers were held up by a single gallows. The solicitor proceeded to ask the usual questions in such cases as fol lows : “Have yon from having seen the crime com mitted, or heard any of the testimony deliver ed under oath, formed and expressed any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner at the bar?” So the “single gallus” fellow, in a clear and distinct voice, answered : “Not any.” Second Question —have you any prejudice or bias resting on your mind for or against the prisoner at the bar? Answer—l hain’t. Third Question —Is your mind perfectly impartial between the State and the accused? Answer—Hit air. Fourth Question —Are you conscientiously opposed to capital punishment? Answer—l i’snt. The State did not like the juror much, but it being late and jurors scarce, he was put upon the prisoner in the usual manner, the solicitor saying : “Juror, look upon the pris oner ; prisoner, look upon the juror.” The juror was quite near the prisoner, and when this command was given he bent over him scanning him from head to foot. The juror looked the prisoner firmly in the face, and then turning to the judge said, in a firm, solemn voice, “Yes Judge, I think he's guil ty.”—Augusta Const. The End of a Diamond Wedding. Some years ago there was a diamond wed ding in a brown stone mansion close to Fifth Avenue. It was in all respects a recherche affair—the gifts were magnificent and costly, and the young couple started prosperously on the voyage of life. After a couple of sea sons in Europe the young wife was taken sick, and died in her mother’s house in this city. Among the original presents was a costly array of solid silver, duly marked with the bride’s initials. This silver was valued at over $5,000. It was handsomely encased, and for convenience sake, after the woman’s death, was placed in a common packing trunk and stored in the vaults of a safe deposit company. The sequel to this story happened on Mon day last, when the husband, now bankrupt, pledged the whole of the silver to a profes sional money-lender for a paltry SSOO. Those who know him freely predict that he will let the whole of it go when his obligation ma tures, and that he will be unable to pay the amount of the loan. A similar sequel was reported last year to a stylish wedding in Grace Church only twenty months before. The presents and jewels of the wedding day were sold for a mere pittance to buy bread and butter, and to-day the parties are penni less. In the other case, first mentioned, there is not a shadow of a doubt that the silver thus pledged will be sacrificed in a like man ner.—New York Letter. A Queer Condition of Things. The fourth of March next comes on Sun da3 r . It is the day when the President elect should be inaugurated. This ceremon3’ will doubtless have to be postponed until Monda3% the sth. President Grant goes out of office at 12 ra., March 4. Mr. Ferr) r , Presidentpro tern, of the Senate, ceases to be a Senator on the 3d of March, at noon. There will, there fore, be neither President nor Vice-President for at least twenty-four hours. It therefore appears that the machine will run itself for that time. We presume if any grave question should arise, the President elect could quietly be sworn in by the Chief Justice, even if it were Sunday, only there will be neither President nor Vice-President, and it is doubtful wheth er the term of office of the Cabinet would hold. This is one of the queerest things in this queer era.— N. 0. Times. Wearing the Breeches. Mr. Merriwether paused at the gate, as he adjusted his continental oil-cloth, and gave his torch the proper slant over his shoulder, to shout to his neighbor across the way : “It is a time that demands men ; men of nerve and intelligence and courage, men of clear ideas and pure convictions, and the citizen who stands idly waiting when the country calls him is heartless, and negligent, and un patriotic.” And then Mrs. Merriwether’s voice was heard floating over the front fence like the song of a bird in the night: “ Erastus Merriwether! If you go off without splitting up wood enough for the kitchen stove, I’ll do some hav’making in that carroty hairo’yonrn that’ll make you wish this country never had a President.” And it is just snch chilling influences as these that shut so many of our best men out of active public life. “An Honest Man.” One day about three weeks ago a strange customer came into a Gratiot Avenue grocery. He wanted some goods, and he paid cash down. The next day he made another pur chase and paid cash, and as the days went by his face and cash seemed familiar. One day he returned with the change given him and said: “ I l>elieve lam an honest man. Ytou paid me twenty cents too much.” The grocer received it and wa9 pleased.— Two days after that the stranger returned from the curbstone to say : “ Another mistake on your part; you over paid me forty cents.” The grocer was glad to have an honest man, and puzzled to know how he should have counted so far out of the wax*. Three days more and the stranger picked up a dollar bill in the store and said : “ This is not my dol lar. I found it on the floor, and you must take charge of it.” The grocer's heart melted, and he wonder ed if the world was not progressing back wards to old-time honest}’. A skip of one day, and then the honest man brought down a wheel barrow and ordered eighteen dollars’ worth of groceries, and would have paid cash had lie not forgotten his wallet, lie would hand it in at noon as he went past, he said, and it was all right with the grocer. That was the last of the honest man : morn ing fades to noon, and noon melts away in darkness, but he cometh not. There are no more mistakes in change—no more dollar bills on the floor, and the grocer's eyes wear a way off expression as if yearning to see someone for about two minutes. —Free Press. A Specimen Case Simply. A few years ago she married William Ilep tenstall, she being only seventeen years of age, and a comely-formed and more than or dinarily good looking girl. Ileptenstall was a cooper, and at the same time a drunkard, and the poor girl soon found herself eking out a miserable existence with a sot of a hus band. When the hard times came on, the condition of the IJeptenstalls was correspond ingly worse. Only a few weeks ago, Mrs. Ileptenstall called at the Mayor's office and stated that her child was dead, and that she had no means by which to procure its burial. The Mayor went to the premises shortly after to see about the burial, and found the poor mother engaged in keeping the rats from the dead body of her child. Not long after the Mayor was notified that Ileptenstall had de serted his wife, and that she was starving to death. The Mayor paid another visit to the premises, and found the woman in a most miserable condition, produced by hunger and inattention. The Mayor concluded to send her to the county hospital, but on the way she died, and her sufferings were at an end. A short distance from the city the vehicle passed her brute of a husband on the high way, staggering from the effects of drink.— St. Louis Times. Going to Church in 1800. In the biography of the late Rev. Dr. Good ell, veteran missionary and oriental scholar, he gives the picture of the way the}’ went to church in Templeton, Massachusetts, his na tive place, at the beginning of the century : The old puritanical horse seemed to know as well as the most pious of us that it was holy time, and he stood at the door, saddled and bridled, with his head bowed reverently down, as if in solemn meditation upon the duties he was expected to perform. My father, with one of the children in his arms, rode before; my mother sat behind on a pillion, and car ried one of the children in her arms, and still another child rode behind, clinging as close ly to her as she did toiler husband. I recol lect on one occasion, in ascending a steep sandy hill, the girth of the saddle gave way. and there was an avalanche of the whole load, father and mother and three children, with saddle and pillion, over the horse’s tail, plump into the sand bank. The old rheuma tic horse never seemed amazed at anything that might happen, but this time he simply opened his large eyes wider than usual, and, wheeling half around, looked to see whether lie could help us in any way. screw worms are still shoving up in people’s noses. A negro woman suffering with catarrh had them in her nose, a few days ago, and was relieved by Dr. J. 11. Blake. He suspected what was the matter with her as soon as he learned how she was affected, and syringed her nose well, washing out one or two. lie then gave her a solution for in jection in her nose, and over two hundred worms came from her nose. As death re sults in three or four days unless relief is ob tained, one cannot be too careful to avoid them, nor too prompt in seeking remedies for them if they appear.— Houston Telegraph. During a thunder-storm a gentleman takes a hack down the Champs Elysees toward the Faubourg St. Germain. He noticed that at every flash of lightning his driver seriously makes the sign of the cross, and says : “I observe that you cross yourself. You do well.” “Oh, yes. It is always well where there are so many trees, but once we get into the streets, I don’t give a curse.” —Paris Figaro. S TERMS, $2.00 PER ANNUM. I SI.OO FOR SIX MONTHS. GLEANINGS.
