Abmit Things.
I nm a little boy about so many
years old : I don’t know whether I am
a good little boy, but I’m afraid not.
for sometimes I do wicked things, anil
once 1 cut sister’s kitten’s tnil off with
the chopping kmfo, and 1 told her a
l>i«r dog came along and bit it oil knd
swallowed it before kitty could say
Jack Robinson, and sister said she was
sorry, and it must have been a very
naughty dog, but mother did not be*
lieve me, and said she was afraid 1 liaii
lold a lie, and I’m afraid I did. So
then she asked me if 1 knew w here
liars went to, and 1 said yes—that they
went to New York and wrote for the
papers ; she said no—‘but to a lake of
fire and brimstone, and site asked me if
I would like to go there, and I told her
no ; for I didn’t think there would be
much skating or sliding on that lake,
and the boys couldn’t snowball either
oil the shore; and she said it was worse
than that, just as though that wasn’t
had enough, for f don’t think they can
play base ball nntlier. Then she asked
me if I wouldn’t like to be an angel
and have a harp, ar.d I said no, I’d
rather be a stage driver and have a big
drum, for I couldn’t play on tother
thing. No, I shouldn’t like to be an
angel, for their wings must be in the
way when they play tag or leap frog,
and besides it must be hard to fly when
one ain’t accustomed to it. Hut it
would be jolly to be a stage driver and’
have a great long whip and touch up
the leaders, and say “g’lang there, what
are ye doing on.” 1 should like that
much better’ll a flying; and then
mother said there was a dreadful stage
of sin, and Hob hollered and said that
he “guessed I was on it,” and then she
wltipped us and sent us to bed without
any supper, but I didn’t care for any
supper, sot they hadn’t nothin’ but
bread and butter and tea, and Hob and
me got up and be lifted me in at the

pie and a whole hat full of doughnuts,

stole ’em, and sent her away the next

me, and she told mother, and mother
said I was a bad boy and would bring
her gray hairs to the grave, and she
whipped me. but l don t think it did
her gray hairs any good, and it hurt
me, and when 1 got up stairs I said
go'.l darn it, but I said it so she didn’t
h»nr me, and when she asked me if I
didn’t think I was very wicked, I said
I was afraid I was, and was sorry lor
it, and wouldn’t do so any more ; and
then she said I was a good little boy,
and told me about George Washington
who cut down the ap|de tree, and was
caught at it, and said he did it with
his little hatchet, just as if I hadn t
heard all about it before, and duln t
always think lie was a big stupid for
cutting wood when they had a hireo
man about the house, and dullin’ his
little hatchet, and besides it would
have been a great deal jollier to let the
trees be. so as he could linve stole up*
pies off in the Fall. I don’t care il he
was the father of his country, he was
not smait, ar.il 1 bet you the boys in
our (chool would cheat him out ot his
eye-teeth swoppiu jack-knives, and I
could whip him and hardly try, and 1
don’t think he was very healthy either,
for I never saw a good boy that wasn t
always sick and hail live mumps and
measles, and the scarlet fever, and
wasn’t a coughing all the while, and
hadn’t to take castor oil and tar water,
and couldn’t eat cherries, and didn’t
have to have his head pattcu till the
hair was rubbed off by everybody ttiat
came to his mother’s, and be asked
how old lie was, and who died to save
sinners, and what he’d been studying
at school, and how far he’d got. and
lots of other conundrums, and had to
say his catechism ; no, I shouldn’t
like to be a good little boy. I’d just as
lie! be an angel and done with it; I
don’t think 1 shall ever he a good little
boy ; and other people don’t think so
too, lor 1 wasn’t ever called a good
little boy but once, and that was when
mv uncle John asked me where I stood
in'my class, and 1 told him 1 was next
to head, and he said that was right,
J and he gave me a quarter, and then he
asked me how many boys w* in my
rhss, and I said the.e was only two,
myself and a little girl, and then he
wanted me to give him back his quar
ter and I wouldn’t, and he ran after me
and stumbled over a chair, and broke
his cane, and hurt himself, and he s
been lame ever since, and I’m glad of
it, for he isn’t my father, and basil t
any right to lick me, 'or I get enough
of that at home; and the quarter
wasn’t a good one either. I don’t like
uncle John, am) 1 cues* he knows it.
for he says I ain't like one of *he fam
ily, anil he says lie expect* I’ll go to
sea and be a pirate instead ot a re
spectable member of society, and I
should not wonder, for I had rather he
pirate than a soap boiler like him, and
I don’t care if lie is rich, its a nasty
business ; and 1 shall not have to he
a pirate either, for one can make lots
of money without that; anti they are
always talking to me about being rich
and respectable, and going to Congress,
and being President, and all that sort
of things: hut l don’t want to be
President ; there is Lincoln, he was
President, ami 1 guess he’s sorry for it
now ; and titpre’s Andy Johnson, I
guess he don’t like it much either ; and
a fellow dost! t have to be rt spectable
to be a Congressman, for there's Hen
Hutler, he is a Congressman and lie’s
neither honest nor respectable ; oh, 1
know how things are done, hut there is
Hob calling me. and we aregoin’ birds
nesting, for 1 know where there is a
yellow birds nest chuck full of eggs ;
mother says it’s cruel, and the birds
don’t like it ; that I wouldn't like to
have my eggs stole if l was a bird, and
I don’t think I should : hut I nint a
bird, \\)ii know, 3ttd that makes a dif
ference ; ami if you want to print this
you can, for next thing to being a stage

Southern Ini initial lon—Tone
ami Temper of' the Southern
Press and People.
To the Editor of the New York
Times Will you allow one who lias
great respect for the general spirit ol
liberality displayed in your columns
toward the people of the South, to ex
press the regret that you should have
conveyed an impression as injurious as
it is incorrect, toward, at least, the
State of Georgia, in your editorial ol
Saturday last, oil Southern immigra
tion. Referring to the Southern press,
you say :
“ They publish editorials of an in*
flamatory character on impeachment,
the most disreputable assaults on loyal
m*> 11 at thp Slanlli • aw««l.. •**•* *»
l r rat ion You further slate that
“Northern young men are unwilling to
expose themselves daily to a street
tight or a tavern brawl.”
To the lirst charge, in reference to
impeachment, I have nothing to say.
save to deny, for the press ot my own
State, any such exhibition ol an inllam
atory spirit on impeachment, as is daily
observable in the New York papers;
and I am not aware that Southerners
are thereby deterred from coming
North.
In reference to the abuse of loyal
men. H is only the shoddy loyalists—
the carpet-bag adventurers, beneath
contempt of the North—and the per
jured renegades, beneath contempt ev>
ery where, that are the objects of what
you call “abuse.” Loyal men —men
true toi the constitution, Northern men
who fought for the Union, and South
ern men who opposed the war, if they
remain true to the Union, ami have not
deserted their race, and sought to fas
ten negio equality upon the whites of
the South, are respected, honored,
trusted everywhere.
The ghostly Ku-Klux Ivlan has nev
er had any existence in Georgia, save
in the brain of a few timid Bureau
agents, on whose doors the hoys have
written in frightful chalk marks the res
puled symbols of the order. They
are myth —a joke —so lar as Georgia is
concerned, and the Georgia press have
uniformly condemned any organization
of the 6«rt, though the abuse of the
Boyal Leagues not only invite, but aL
most justify a counter organization—
Both these juntas are deplor 'd by all
our decent people, and call for the de
nunciation of all friends of law and
order everywhere.
To the third, and most serious inn
endo— in reference lo the repugnance
of Northern young men to street fights
and tavern brawls—l can only express
surprise that such an expression “hou'.d
have found utterance. 1 here are more
brawls and deeds most foul com mined
every night right here in your city,
than occur in a week in »lhe whole
State of Georgia* And yet, as an hum
hie Georgia editor, l never thought of
warning our Southern young men of
the danger of falling into the manifold
dead falls that mar the fair fame of
your magnificent metropolis!
For your last admission, that “ there
are many places where this would not
occur” (referring to fights and brawls)
I cordially* thank you, and it is mainly
to direct attention to a portion of the
South which I know dots not deserve
NO. 40.
! »nv of your harsh reflections, that I
hare presumed to address you.
• I have resided for years in CSc.vvgia—
am a Northern man, and ought to be
free (root sectional bias. I h.ivc been
iu all the chief towns of the Stale re
peatedly since the war ; have traveled
in the last two months several hundred
miles in the upper counties of the State
by private conveyance, and 1 most so!
emnlv believe that there is not a more
peaceable, law abiding and positively
forbearing people on the face ol the
earth than the people of Georgia, as a
State. And I can get the endorsement
of a number of most intelligent milita~
ry men on duty there to the assertion.
Why, then, injure us by the ofl-ham!
and ill-natured aspersions to which I
have referred ? We need capital and
labor. One object of my visit here is
to encourage it, and I had scarcely'
reached your wharf when the Times
threw a damper on all my expectations.
We have all the facilities to which you
so truthfully refer; the finest climate
for ail industrial pursuits, and for salif
brity ard comfort, untold mineral
wealth, water power enough to drive
the mills of the world, cheap lands,
abundant timber —and yet people will
not go there, or invest money there,
because the editor of the Times says
some of our editors are writing as un
wisely as he is, and because brawls,
fights, Ku'Klux and all that, arc the
terror of immigrants. Jf you are not
satisfied that we are given over to all
these bugbears, I wotdd like to write
you a more general account ol the po*
litical condition, industrial prospects,
and rare promise in general, of this
really grand old commonwealth.

And, if this is what they' call the world,
I don’t think much of it. It’s a very
flan nelly world, and smells of pare
goric awfully. It's a dreadlul light
world, too, and makes me blind. And
I don’t know what to do with my
hands ; I think I’ll dig my fists in my
eyes. No, 1 won’t. I’ll scrabble at
the corner ol my blanket and chew it
up, and then I'll fuller ; whatever
happens, I’ll holler. And the more

mind, when I’m a woman I’ll pay her
back good. There’s a pin sticking in
me now, and il I say a word about it,
I’ll be trotted or fed, and 1 would
rather have catnip tea. 111 tell you
who I am. I found out to-day. I
heard folks say, ‘Hush, don’t wake up
Emmeline’s baby,’ and 1 suppose that
pret'y, white faced woman over on the
pillow is Emmeline.
No, I was mistaken, for a chap was
in here just now and wanted to see
Bob’s baby, and looked at me, and
said I “was a funny little toad, and
looked just like Bob.’ He smelt of
cigars, and I’m not used to them. I
wonder who else l belong to. Yes,
there’s another one —that’s ‘Ganma
Emmeline told me, and she took nte
up and held me .against her soft cheek
and said, ‘lt was Gamna’s baby, so tt
was.’ 1 declare Ido not know who I
do belong to ; but I’ll holler, and may
be, I’ll find out.
There comes Snuffy with catnip tea.
The idea of giving babies catnip tea
when they are crying for information !
I’m going to sleep. 1 wonder if l
don’t look pretty red in the face ? I
wonder why my hands won’t go where
I want them to.

very affecting:

base of the hill is a building, upon

charcoal:
“A. Johnson, Tailor. Old garments
renovated and repaired.” Upon the
roof ol the building is perched a large
goose, with a streamer around its neck
lettered "My policy changed at hist.'"
The goose flies to A. J. with an open

and finds on the open page, “Home

and lakes the spoon. Exit Butler and
