From the Randolph Enterprise,
Stealing a Wife.
BY SANDY HIGGINS.
I don't know whether, the Divine
command against stealing applies to
stealing women or not. I never had
anything to do with stealing but
once and then I received so much
punishment as I went along that it
came near making me a Uniyersalist
for life. But as I didn’t do the
stealing on my own hook, ray con
science has never troubled me very
much on lire subject, and I suppose if
I tell the scrape for the good of the
world, I’ll be about even.
Among tbe “ cronies ” of my youn
ger days was a softheaded, tender
hearted chap who rejoiced in tire
highly expressive name of Ben Lan
ky. He was a tall, slab sided, un
gainly “cuss,” not fit for church or
State, with no more pluck than a
sheep, and with a splendid faculty for
not doing anything in particular, if it
required any exercise of energy and
perseverance. But even such men
semetimes feel the toueh of a tender
passion, and Ben was no exception,
as I found out to my cost. I was
strolling along one day with my gun
on my shoulder when I met Ben,
sauntering along with his head hung
as if he’d just, been too late for a fu
neral, or had lost his dinner, or some
thing else awful had happened.
“ Say, Sandy,” said he, as soon as
Ire saw me, “ have you got such a
thing as a bottle of whisky about
you ? ”
I informed him that I was not in
tbe habit of carrying a bar room on
my hunting expeditions, at wnich he
heaved a sigh that seem to come from
.’his boots, and went on
“ Cause I thought if you did, it
would help ray ieelins a little.”
“ Why, Ben, I said, what’s the mat
ter with you ? You seem to be in j
trouble.”
Ain’t I allerg in trouble?” s&id
he. “ Did you ever see me when I
warn’t ? But I’m wuss thafi common
now, Sandy, and if somethin’ aiu’t
done for me I do b’lieve I’ll lose iny
mind, what little thar is of it, or jine
the church, or somethin’ bad. .Set
down on this log an’ let me tell }‘ou.”
VVe took a seat on a fallen tree,
and, with another of his long sighs,
he began :
You know Peggy Norton ? ”
“ I’ve seen her a few times,” I re
plied.
“ I wish to God I’d never seen
her ! ” he said, with some show of en-
eroy.
“Why, Ben, said I, she’s a smart
pretty girl ”
“ That’s jist what's the matter,”
said he: “I’ve been a courtin' her
nigh on to a year, an’ t’other Sunday
night I axed her right Hat if she’d
marry me, an’ by gem she jist up an’
said yes—ding’n if she didn’t! ”
“ Thatrs all right, ’ said 1.
“You jest wait,” he continued.—
“ I tell you I was so happy I didn’t
know which end was up. It done me
so much good that I jumped up an’
run all the way home, like a fool, an’
went to bed to dream about it, but J
couldu’t go to sleep. Next mornin’,
after 1 tried to eat some breakfast, I
put out to see the old man about it,
thinkin’ I’d have the job over as soon
as possible. Well, 1 found him out
in the woods by himself, splittin’ rails,
an’ lookin’ so grum that my heart felt
as big as a mule’s head an’ I was a
good mind to go back home, without
teliin’ what I went for. Finally, though,
I mustered up what little spunk I’ve
o-ot, an’ takin’ him out to one side, 1
axed him for Peggy—confound him !
lie jist laid down his maul an’ told
me if I didn’t slab off iu a powerful
hurry he’d take a number twelve shoe
from the seat of my britches ! Blast
his old hide ! I wish he had five hun
dred gals, an’l could many ah on
’em ! And thar’s that lather-head
Bob of his’n says if I speak ,to Peggy
again lie’ll lather me like blazes.—
Blast him to the old boy! An’ the old
lady swears if I come about the house
anymore she’ll throw' a pan of hot
dish water on my head. Cuss her a
few, while I’m at it. Cuss the whole
bilin’ of ’em, I say ? ”
Except Peggy I suggested.
“ Confound her, too ! said be.—
She’d no business leadin’ me on, when
•she know’d what fools they all was
:about her. I’d marry her, just to spite
’em all, but thar’s narry bit ot chance
tor they won’t let her leave the house
onless'Bob’s with her. Dad burn him
some more! ”
“ Steal her,” said I.
“ Steal your granny! he retorted.
Don’t I tell you they watch her day
and night! You might as well try to
steal the old woman’s night-cap.
“ Thunder ! said I, “ if you’ll stand
to me I’ll steal her as easyas taking a
drink of peach and honey.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1873.
“Will you do it, Sandy?” he ex
claimed, jumping up and catching my
hand “Jest say you’ll help me git her
and 111 face tbe devil es its necessary.
Hail Columbia! and Ben danced
about in the excess of his joy, as if he
already had his girl in his arms.—
\V hen he calmed down a little, I told
him to have everything ready by the
next night, and be at a certain place
with a buggy ready to help me carry
off the object of his young affections.
He promised to be on hand, and set
off up the road dancing, whistling and
cutting as many capers as an Irish
man on the way to a wake, while I
walked leisurely along towards the
house of his lady love, to try to let
her into the fun. As luck would have
it, I found her in the garden by the
road, and she looked so pretty that I
bad a good mind rot to let Ben have
her, but I finally decided it was none
of my business who she married, and
after a little conversation I opened the
subject, after satisfying myself that no
one was near. I found her true grit,
and it required but a few minutes bo
get all the arrangements made, but I
learned a tew things that didn’t make
the job appear a very promising <M*e.
In the first place old, Norton kept a
big dog of the “yaller” persuasion,
that spent his time at night in run
ning around the house And barking.
He was a vicious cur, that wonftd bite
a man’s shaddow, and didn’t never
sleep, I had beard. Then the house
was two stories high, with the stairs
leading out of the old folks, room,
and Peggy slept up stairs, the old
lady slept with one eye and ear open,
and the old man with a double gun
loaded with buckshot by the head of
his bed. There was but one window
to Peggy’s room, which was propped
with a long pole on tbe outside, and
the door was locked every night by
the old man, for it seems that she had
threatened to run away, and they had
resolved to make sure of her. Added
to all this, Bob’s room joined the girls,
and he kept .another loaded gun on
hand. All this I learned from Peggy,
and as I went home. I was half sorry
that I had ever promised Ben to help
•him, but it was too late to back out
with honor, and I determined to go
through with it, or get my neck broke
in the attempt.
Tbe first thing to be .considered was
to get the dog out of the way, and the
only way to accomplish that object
was to entice Bob off. Accordingly I
let another of my chums into the se
cret, and he proposed a coon hunt to
Bob, with a bottle of whisky as a per
suader. I was satisfied that would
fetch him, and sure enough he fell in
to the trap, after learning that Ben
had started off that morning to visit
an uncle in another county ! I felt
considerably relieved when J beard
that the dog would be absent, for I
had my doubts on the dog question,
and no mistake.
I didn’t have a chance to see Ben
during the eventful day, but I mana
ged to send him word that “things
was working” and for him to have a
horse and buggy on baud. When I
got to his house a little after dark I
found him shaking like he had the
third day ague.
‘ Sandy,’ asked he, ‘do you think
we’d better try it ? ’
•‘ Do you want the girl ? I inquired.’
‘lncourse I do, leplied he; what do
you ’spose I’ve got on these good
clothes for ?
‘ Then we’ll have her out of there
as slick as catching eels, I replied, if
you will only ad like a sensible man.
There aint a mortal of danger.
Ben had arrayed his handsome
figure in a tight fitting suit of blue
jeans, with a three story hat, in which
he resembled an overgrown pair of
compasses looking like he was about
seven feet high. He was so con
foundedly excited that he hardly knew
which end of his horse to put the
bridle on, but I finally got everything
ready, and we set off-to old Norton’s.
When we got within a hundred yards
of the house we turned into a thick
grove of pines, and prepared for tbe
job. I had learned that the old folks
went to bed earjy, and our confederate
had promised to keep Bob out till
midnight, so I thought we would have
a clear field to operate in. But there
was no kuowing what would or might
happen, and if Bob and that vicious
canine should happen to come up
while we were in the yard, it would
be farewell potato patch with us. I
knew that Ben wouldn’t be of much
service so I calculated that I‘d have
the heft of the job on my own hands.
It was about ten o’clock, and a tol
erably dark night, when we crept up
to the back yard, feeling as mean as a
lawyer when he loses a good fee, and
listening as fearfully as a rabbit in a
turnip patch. I knew where -there
was a ladder, and turning to Ben,
whose heart was beating like a base
drum, I whispered:
Now, Ben, you must help me set
that ladder up against the house, and
then you mast go up and help Peggy
“ Oh, Lord, Sandy, said he, I can’t!
HI be shot all to flinders. Let’s go
back.”
‘ Go back in a horn if you want
to 1 said L I‘ra bound to have that
girl out of there, or turn that old
shanty head over heels, and if you
want to go back I‘ll marry her myself.’
I knew that would bring him, and
without any more words he took hold
of the ladder, and we cautiously set it
up against the house. Just tlien a
flock of geese, that were nodding in
the yard, waked np, and set up the
most earthly noise that was ever heard
since Noah went into the fowl busi
r.ess. I always did hate a goose, aud
just at that time nothing would have
pleased me better than a shower of
bail that wouldn’t have left a whole
head in the crowd. We squatted
down close to the house, and directly
a window was opened, a head poked
out, and I heard the old lady remark .
x l wonder wliat on the face of the
yearth’s got into them geese ? Here,
Bull, catch him’ ’
I couldn't help laughing a little to
myself at what the old lady would say
next naoruing when she found out
what had alarmed her pets, but I-didn't
say anything for Ben was just in the
act of going into hard fits with flight,
and I had my hands full to quiet ham.
After waitings few minutes, till all
was quiet, I moved tbe pole away
from the window, which was imme
diately pushed opened, and I saw tbe
lady's head appear. Placing the lads
der just under the window, I told Ben
to go up and help her down, but not
a peg would he move ! I don’t believe
he could have gone up that ladder
then if the old boy had been at the
bottom, so I told the fool to stand at
the foot, and I would go up. Just as
I reached the top, I saw Bob walking
leisurely along, not more than a hun
-dred yards oflj with the dog trotting
at his heels.
-“Here's the rascal and the dog!”
thought I. If I stay here Fll be shot
into fish bait, and if I go down I’ll be
made -dog’s meat of! I saw that
something had to be done in less time
than swallowing a live -oyster, and
for a few moments I thought faster
than a trout could swim down stream. I
could hear Ben’s teeth chattering like a
woodpecker on a pine limb, aud tell
ing Peggy to streak it down the lad
der, I went down after her in a hur
ry. Taking Ben by the aim, I told
him if he didn’t take Peggy to that
buggy faster than a could run
I’d break every -bone in his hide, and
marry the girl myself. Off they went
at a trot, and I barred up the win
dow again, put the ladder where I
found it, and set off in a canter after
them, getting to the horses about as
soon as they did. Time was very im
portant, just then, so I tumbled them
into the buggy and told Ben to streak
it fur Georgia, while I mounted my
horse and followed.
We had progressed about a mile
and I began to flatter myself that we
would have a good time, after all.—
We were going down a long bill, Ben
laying on the timber and making the
old horse grunt at every lick, when
one wheel struck a stump, and The
next thing ! saw Ben’s long legs wind
ing through the air, thrashing the
limbs and bushes like feuoe rails,
whilst Peggy was deposited in a very
small pile by the road. As soon as I
could dismount I run to see if she was
hurt, but she was on her feet in a min
ute, declaring it wasn’t much of a fall,
and she didn’t care a cent for it. By
this time Ben had ‘lit,’ and was groan
ing like a man in the last stage of
tooth ache.
‘Hello, Ben are you hurt?’ I in
quired.
Broke all to smash.!’ said he with
groans that would have sounded de.-
lightful in a grave yard.
‘Get up, said J, taking hold of his
arm, and let’s see where you’re hurt.”
Alts no use, Sandy,’ he replied with
out making any attempt to rise. ‘l’m
hurt all over, principally. Oh, I wish
I was at home, where I’d stayed if I’d
had as much sense as a jay bird.”
‘Ben, said Peggy, if you don’t get
upland help fix the buggy I’ll marry
Sandy and let you go back home, if
you want to!’
‘Please don’t Peggy, said he scram
bling to his feet; I don’t b’lieve Pm
hurt much, after all—only I come
through the bushes in sicli a blamed
hurry it sorter turned my head.’
So saying, he straightened himself
up, and declared he was all right, and
rather liked the fun ! Theu we went
to see how the buggy had fared, lor
‘the old horse had stopped when the
thing turned over, and seemed to be
no ways disturbed by the accident.—
Fortunately, there was little damage
done, and in a few minutes we were
under wa). again, though Ben was a
little careful m his driving. We had
no more serious trouble, and by day
light, had crossed the Georgia line,
when I hunted up a magistrate, who
made them “one bone and flesh,” in
short order.
Ben concluded to stop awhile with
a relative over there, while I went
back alone. Just before I got home
1 met Bob Norton, and no sooner did
be see me tlian he commenced taking
off his coat, and told me to get down
and take it. I don’t like to pursue
the subject, but when we parted I felt
like I’d been through a bark mill,
whilst Bob s face resembled a map of
Indiana. That ended my first and last
experience at girl stealing.

In the character of a politician and
Presidential canidate our late Chief
JustLce for many years filled a po&i
tion so conspicuous, and wielded an in
fluence so great and far-extending in
shaping the vicissitudes of our polit
ical parties and the destinies of the
country, that in this role he doubtless
stands more prominently to-day than
in any other before the minds of our
readers of all parties. Looking to
tbe White House, his aspirations, his
plans and movements, his hopes and
disappointments will, from our city
millionaire’s town residence tc the
miners; cabin in the Sierra Nevada, be
a theme of discussion tor days and
yearn to come. His case will be add
ed to the examples of Clay, Calhoun,
Webster, Seward, Cass, Douglass and
others, as confirming the opinion that
obscurity, and not distinction, is the
passport to the Presidency, and that
the prize for which our greatest states
men have struggled all their lives iu
vain is sure to be won by some mili
tary chieftaiu or given to some second
. ate politician as a compromise in our
juggling party conventions.
There is too much truth in this
opinion; for it cannot be questioned
that from Jackson to this day the
important question of ‘availibilify’ ha3
superceeded all other considerations
in the nominations of our Presidential
candidates, and that accordingly the
Presidential succession has been con
trolled by military glory or the chap
ter of accidents among the hucksters
of our party conventions from General
Jackson down to General Grant ex
cepting Van Buren, who was nom
inated and elected as the choice of
“Old Hickory” for his successor. But
when we come to consider the Presi
dential aspirations of onr leading poli
ticians of the last fifty years, the
claims of Salmon P. Chase, on the
basis of party services and personal
merits and qualifications, we think,
were superior to those of any other
disappointed candidate, always except
ing Henry Clay, “ the nobleest Roman
of them all.”
Military glory carried Jackson,
H; irrisen, Taylor and Grant into the
White House. Jackson carried in
Van Buren ; Polk and Pierce were
mere accidents, resulting each from a
make-shift compromise in a juggling
convention. Buchanan was forced
upon another huckstering counsel of
his party managers as ‘Pennsylvania’s
favorite son.’ Fillmore, Tyler and
Johnson, each elected as Vice Presi
dent, became each in the chapter of
accidents, with the death of his Presi
dent, the successor to his unfinished
term of office, while Lincoln himself;
was only a bold venture at Chicago in
the way of a compromise between
the supporters of Seward, Chase,
Cameron and others This summing
lip covers the successful list of our
Presideotal aspirants of the last forty
fil e years; and yet Van Buren, Tyler,
Polk, Fillmore Pierce and Johnson
belonged to the unsuccessful lists as
candidates for another term. We leave
Buchanan out of this category, for we
believe that in the Spring of 1860 he
had seen of the. rough riders
of the Sothern Confederacy to be
anxious to get out of their way safely
back to tlie quiet shades of Wheat
land.
BraT The Editor of the Macon En
terprise, we should judge, docs his
own thinking, and is generally about
correct. Speaking of the dull times,
he hits the nail square upon the head
in the following:
The causes are easily explained!—
Almost the last one of us have been
living beyond our incomes since the
war. We have, or at least a great
many have, been getting poorer and
poorer, sacrificing now this peice of
property and then that in order to
keep up with that devil iu the human
heart khown as “style,” until at last
we find nothing left of tbe slightest
value for sale. The Dry Goods man
aud the Grocer gives you a polite bow
and declines filling any more orders
without the money.
There, is one certain and safe way
for everybody to walk straight out of
such difficulties :GO to work- Pitch
in at seven in the morning and quit
at twelve at night, Aud if the lazy
good foi -nothing whelps of both sexes
would to-day abandon their habits of
loafing, shinning around town trying
to get credit and monkey-like spend
ing all their thoughts and actions up
on vain efforts to imitate those who
by honesty earn their daily bread and
clothes, would take our advice, they
would speedily experience, as tbe
Methodists says at Ibeir Revivals, “a
great change !"
Country Newspapers.
SENSIBLE REMARKS BY A SENSIBLE KEN
TUCKY EDITOR.
The ML Sterling Sentinel, refer
ring to the recent address upon
“Journalism” delivered before the
Indiana Editorial Convention by Mr.
Watterson, says:
That portion of the address devoted
to country journalism is very good
so far as it goes, but then it stops
short of the sore that works more harm
and cripples and ultimately kills more
country papers than all other causes
combined. Our experience has been
long and varied, and what we have t©
say about country newspapers pub
lishing is based upon knowledge
dearly .bought by years of hard and
thankless toil and no little worry of
body and mind aud vexation of spirit.
The greatest enemies to success
in conducting a country paper are the
credit system and gratuitous adver
tising or “ puffing.”
The dues of the country publisher
are necessarily small. If he credits a
couple of dollars here to A, and a
couple of dollars there to B, and so
on through the alphabet of subscrip
tion, these credits will amount to a
handsome sum in the aggregate, of
which a fearfully large per cent, in
variably proves to be a total loss.
The publisher who will credit sub
scriptions, transient advertising and
job work, knowing that he is compel
led to pay cash for his material, has
no right to complain that his business
•does not pay, and of all men has less
cause to be astonished at the necessity
that compels the suspension of his pa
per.
Another thing to avoid : Gratui
tous work for party or candidates.
They have no right to expect it Of
fice is iuseperably connected with sal
ary. And the salary is what nine out
of ten candidates are after. The can
didate has as much right to expect his
tailor to keep him in clothing without
charge as to expect his publisher to
devote his paper to his glorification
before the people without any pay
therefor. Your merchant or grocer
does not expect to supply your family
from their stores without pay, and
they have no right to expect you to
advertise for them without remuner
ation. Selling goods or groceries is
their mode of making a living. Pub
lishing a newspaper is your mode of
making a living.
In the days when we used to de
vote column after column to the busis
ness of elevating Tom, Dick and
Harry to office simply because they
belonged to our party, aud never
dreamed of asking a cent of pay for
our services; so long as we filled
our paper with puffs on This, That
and the Other, because they were
good, clever fellows, and did it for
nothing, we found it the hardest mat
ter in the world to get along. But,
since we turned over anew leaf, and
made a real business of publishing a
paper, just as Tom, Dick and Harry
make a business of running for office
for the emoluments, and This, That
and the Other make a business of sel
ling goods for the profit, we have
prospered. To be sure we have not as
yet accumulated a mammoth fortune,
but then we have built us up a good
paying business, secured us a home
we are not ashamed of and are able
to pay our way as we go. Under the
old system we scarcely made enough
to pay our board bill and provide us
a change of linen. As it is, we get
fair wages for our labor, live decently,
and have no cause to complain of the
world. And so it will be with all of
our brethren of the counrry press if
they will do as we are doing—eschew
all gratuitious work and cut the credit
system absolutely.
Denominational Oxen.— A gen
tleman travelling in Texas, met on
the road a wagon drawn by four oxen
and driven by a countryman, who in
addition to the skilfull flourish and
crack of the whip, was vociferously
encouraging # the horned horses after
the fashion : Haw Presbyterian ! Get
up Methodist! The traveler stopped
the driver, remarking to him that he
had strange names.for his oxen, and
he would like to know why he thus
called them. Well, said the driver, I
call this ox Presbyterian, because he’s
true blue, and never fails ; pulls throuh
difficulties and holds up to the end.—
I call this one Baptist because he is
always after water, and seems as if
he’d never drink enough, then again
he won’t eat with others. I call this on
Episcopal because he has a mighty
way of holding his head up and if

continually stir him up.
