Lib’s Party ; or How I Got a
Rib and a Baby.
It may be funny, but I’ve got a rib
nrul a baby. Shadows departed—oys
ter stews, brandy juleps, cigars boxes,
boot jacks, abandoned shirt buttons,
whist* and domines. Shadows pres
ent—hoopskirts, band boxes, gaiters,
long stockings, juvenile drgsses, little
willow chairs, cradles, pap, paragoric,
hive syrup, senna, squills'and doctor’s
bills. Shadows future—more hive sy
rup, etc. I’ll just tell you how I got
caught.
I was always the darndest, teacus
tard bashful fellow you ever did see ;
it was kinder my line to be taken with
the shakes every time I saw a pretty
girl approaching, and I would cross
the street any time rather than face
one, not because I didn’t like the crit
ters, for it I was behind the fence
looking through a knot hole I could
not look at one loner enough.
Well, my sister Libby gave a party
one night, and I stayed away from
home because I was too bashful to
face the music. I hung around the
house, whistling Old Pan Tucker,
dancing to keep my feet warm, and
watching the heads hob up and down
behind the window curtain, and wish
ing the thundering party would break
up so that I could get to my room.
I smoked itp a bunch ot cigars, and
as it was geltiuglate and very uncom
fortable, I concluded to climb up the
door post. No quicker said than done
and I was soon snugly in bed.
Now, says I, let her rip ! dance till
your wind gives out! and cuddling
under the quilt, Morpheus grabbed me
I was dreaming of soft shelled crabs,
stewed tripe, and having a good time,
when someone knocked at the door
and waked me up. I laid low. Rap,.
rap, rap.
When I heard a whispering, and I
knew there was a whole raft of girls
outside. »
Ra! rap!
Then Lib sang out
Jack, are you there ?
Yes, I am.
Then came a roar of laughter.
Let us in.
I won’t: can’t you let a fellow
alone ? ‘
Are you abed ?
. Yes I am.
Get up.
I won’t!
Then came another laugh. By
thunder, I began to get riled.
Get out you petticoated scarecrows!
can’t you gel a beau without pulling
a fellow out of bed ? I won’t go
home with you, so you may clear out.
Then throwing my Foot at the door,
I felt better. But presently, oh mo*
al buttons ! I beard a still small
voice very''much like sister Lib’s and
it said:
Jack, you will have to get up, for
all the girls' things are there !
Oh, Lord, what a pickle ! think of
me in bed, all covered with shawls,
muffs, bonnets and cloaks, and twenty
girls outside waiting to get them ! It
I had stopped to think, I should have
fainted. As it was, I rolled out
among the bonnets, wire and ribbon
in a hurry.
Smash went the millinary in every
direction ! I had to dress in the dark,
for there was a crack in the door, and
the way I tumbled about was death
to straw hats. I opened the door
and found myself right among the
women.
Oh my leg horn, cries one, my dear
darling velvet, cries another, and they
pitched in—they pulled me this way
and that, boxed my ears, and one
bright eyed little piece—Sal, her name
was—put her arms right around my
neck and kissed me on the lip. Hu
man nature could not stand that, and
I gave her as good as she sent. It
was the first time I ever had a taste,
and it was powerful good. I believe
I conld have kissed that gal from .Ta
li us Ceasarto the 4th of July.
Jack, says she, we are sorry to dis
turb you, but won’t you see me home ?
Yes, 1 will, said 1.
1 did, too, and had another smack
at the gate.
After that we took to turtle doving,
and both of us singing like a barrel of
new cider when we were away from
each other.
’Twas at the close of a glorious sum
mer day, the sun was sitting behind a
distant hog pen, the chickens were
going to roost, the bull frogs were
commencing their evening songs, the
polly wogs iu their native mud puddles
were preparing them for the shades
of night, when Sal and myself set up
on an antiquated back log listening to
the music of nature, such a* tree toads,
grunting pigs and roosters which was
wafted to our ears by the gentle
zephyrs sighing among the mullen
stalks. The last lingering rays ol the
setting sun glanced from the buttons
ot a solitary horseman, and shone from
a knot hole in the hog pen full in Sal’s
lace dying her hair with an orange
pale hue, and showing,off iny thread
bare coat to a bad advantage.
©
One ot my arms was around Sal’s
waist—she was toying with my au
burn locks of jet hue ; she was almost
gone and I was ditto. She looked
like a grasshoper dying with the hie
ups, and I felt like a mud turtle
mg to death on a cod fish ball.
Sal, says I, in a voice as musical as
the notes of a dying calf, will you have
me ?
She turned her eyes heavenward,
and clasped me by the right hand,
had an attack of the heaves and the
blind staggers, and with a sigh that
broke her shoe strings, she said :
Yes my dear Jack, and threw her
self In my lap, and 1 hugged her till
1 broke my suspenders.
"Well to make a long story short
she sat the day, and we practiced
every night for four weeks how we
would walk into the room to be mar
l ied ; til! we got so we could walk as
graceful as a couple ot Muscovy ducks.
We were married and my troubles
ended.
Present Hell.
It seems to us that Governor I)ix
declared an underlying principle of
social and moral order, when he found
the alleged drunkenness (of Foster) to
be in itself a crime and an aggravation
of the assault, instead ot its mitigation.
The murderer bad threatened to give
the victim ,‘‘hell.” It was because the
kingdom of hell was in him that he
prophesied. And of the busy devils
who built up that hell and reigned
therein, drink was the most potent.
It had been the man’s pleasure for
years, to go “bumming” among low
haunts and comrades. If the love of
liquor and its excitement had grown
into an overmastering disease, as does
not appear, he was not the less re
sponsible, since he had invited the
slavery, whose chains were said to
hold him.
The painful story of Foster h as
morals written so plain upon ta
bles that he may run that readeth
them. But none needs iteration and
reiteration like Ibis ot the danger of
drink. The best authorities say that
drunkenness fills more than half our
insane asylums. Os every three hun
dred idiots in this country, one hun
dred and forty three are the children
of drunkards. Os the patients at mex
briate asylums,one-half are the children
of drunkards. In 1872 the expendi
ture for liquors average fourteen dol
lars apiece, for every man and woman
and child in America. And this
frightful waste and sottishness is said
to be incresiog.
It is certain that legislation cannot
reach the root of this evil, nor do no
more than Under its worst result.—
The first step towards reform of the
people must be the instruction of the
public in a truer physiology and men
tal science. There is a prevalent no
tion that liquors, and especially whisky,
are strengthening. Nothing could be
more false. Alcohol is not an ele
merit ot the human system, and there
fore cannot repair it. It is always
and essentially a strong poison.—
There may be an occasional need of it,
as of striehnine, arsenic, and other po
tent poison. But like them, its use
should be hindered by the most strin
gent limitations, and permitted only
under a physician’s direct order.—
Ale, lager beer, porter, are rich in al
coholic poisons Even cider contains
two or three per cent, of it. Wines,
whisky, gin and brandy hold a peril
ous proportion. This subtle virus
vitiates the blood, shatters the nerves,
paralyzes the delicate tissues of the
brain. Worse it insiduously lays hold
of the moral nature. It confuses the
conscience; it makes a lie seem the
truth; it shows brutality to be courage
and manliness; it destroys the will.—
Circe’s enchantment is wrought, and
the man is a beast.
When the most moderate drinker,
sipping his glass of cider, at dinner,
feels his face flush, he has received na
ture’s order to stop drinking. That is
the first symptom of alcoholic poison
ing. The over-action of the heart,
thus unhealthily goaded, causes this
crimson flag of distress to be hung out
in the cheeks. Not one man in a mil
lion takes warning thereby, simply be
cause he does not know what it
means.
If is a matter of record that most
steady or spasmodic drinkers, set out
with the delusion that whisky is ben
eficial to them. That false doctrine
must be banished. The pulpit, teach
ers, the journals, and above all f parents
must become missionaries of a better
gospel. Here, as everywhere, it is the
truth which must make us free. For
it is only in an intelligent and healthy
society that the career of William Fos
ter will be a thing impossible. -Hearth

BST’ Dr. Wills recently delivered a
lecture before the young men and la*
dies of Atlanta, from which we extract
.the following paragraph :
“No man has a right to reject
the Christian revelation who has not
studied* it as a system of truth till he
has exhausted all the internal eviden
ces of its divinity, examined thorough
ly the corroboratfve testimonies of an
cient history, availed himself of the ■
lights of modern science to interpret
its mighty mystery, and especially till
he has subjected its sublime doctrines
to the tests ot personal experience.
It there is one reasonable presump
lion in its favor, its contents are too
solemn and awful to be cast aside with
a smile or a sneer. The proof against
its authenticity must be complete and
overwhelming before we dare discard
it as a divine rule ot fhith and pvac
j tise. We cannot give up this grand old
volume till a better book can be found
to take its place—a book of better
morality and purer religion. But un*
til such a superior revelation is dis
covered we will grapple to our hearts
with hooks of steel, the English Bible,
as the Magna Chart a of the world’s
last hopes. Time is too snort and its
realities too sober to listen to every
Daniel who come3 to judgment on this
subject. We commend these tyro-en*
emies ot inspiration to tarry at Jeri
cho till their beards are grown.”

The Savannah Daily News.
The Savnoah Daily Morning News is ac
knowledged by the pres? and people to be the
best daily paper sooth of Louisville and east
of New Orleans. Carrying with it the pres
tige and -eliab'lity of age. it Ims oil the vig
or and vitality of youth, and its enterprise
as a gatherer of .the latest and freshest news
has astonisbedits contemporaries and met the
warm approbation of the public.
During the year 1873, no expence of
time, labor, and money will be spared to
beep the Morning News ahead of all compet
itors in Georgia journalism, and to deserve
the flattering encomiums heaped upon it
from all quarters. There has, as yet, been
been no serious attempt made to rival the
special telegrams which the JVewsinaugura
ted some years ago. and the consequen
ce is, that the reader in in search of
the latest intelligence always looks to the
Morning News. The telegraphic arrange
ments of the paper are such that the omis
sions made by tlieger eral press reports are
promptly and reliably supplied-by its spe
cial correspondents.
The Morning iVews has lately been enlarg
ed to a thirty-six column paper, and this
broad scope of type embraces, daily, »very
thing of interest that transpires inthe domain
of Literature, Art, Science, Politics, Relig
ion, and General Inteligence; giving to the
reader more and better digested matter than
any other paper in the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak of the poli
tics of the Morning News. For years and
years indeed, since its establishment—it ha-=
■ been a representative Southern paper, and
from that time to the present, in all conjunc
tures, it has consistently and persistently
niantained Democratic States Rights prin
ciples, and labored, with an ardor and de
votion that know no abatement, to promote
and preserve -the interests and honor of the
South. The special features of the Morning
News will be retained and improved upon
during the ensuing year, and several new at
tractions well be added.
The Georgia news items,*with their quaint
and pleasant humor, and the epitome Qf
Florida affairs, will be continued during the
year The local department will be. the most
complete and reliable to be found in any
Savannah paper, and the commercial columns
will be full and accurate.
The price of the Daily isßlo.ooper annum,
85.00 for one month.
THE TRI-WEEKLY NEWS.
This edition of the Morning News is especial
ly recomended to those who have not tbe

has been said in tbe foregoing in regard to
the daily edition may be repeated of the

and contains the latest despatches and mar
ket reports. The price of this edition is 86
per annum 83 for six mouths, and 81-50 for
three months.
THE WEEKLY NEWS.
The Weekly Morning News particularly
recommends itself to the farmer and planter
and to those who live oil the lines of railroad
it is one of the best family papers in the
country, and its cheapness brings it within
the reach of all. Jt contains thirty-six solid
