SANDY REDIYIYUS.
BY 8. H.
■ Not long after the conclusion of
”he late war I chanced to meet up
with my okl friend, Sandy Higgins,
whom I had not seen in some time.
He was jogging along on his pony,
evidently in deep thought, and didn’t
notice me until I hailed him—-
“ Halloo, Sandy! How are ycu?”
“Well, ef it aint the Squire 1
How do you do ? ’*
“ First-rate,” said I. 1 what
are you looking so’-Wlema .( wut?
Who’s dead ? ”
“ Nobody in particular,” said he,
looking solemn again, “but I ortw
be, that’s a dead fact. What use is
thar in livin’ an havin’ your bein’
when you can’t enjoy yourself?
That’s the question.”
“ What’s happened to you now,
Sandy ? ”
“What’s allerg happenin’ to me,
of course—troubles an’ vexation of
body. Do you believe in predestina
tion, Squire ? ”
“ Some,” I answered, i*a
“ I do more’n some. I ht’Ueve it
harder than a four year old mule,
conld kick a houn’ puppy, an’ I
know I was predestinated, Bet .apart
an’ duly qualified to see trouble an’
be a fool, Ef I warn’t I hain’t ful
filled my destiny, that’s all aboqt it.**;
“ Tell me some of your troubles,
Sandy,” said I soothingly; “it will
ease your mind.”
“ No, it won’t; it’ll only make it
worse. But I’ll tell you some things,
if you’ll promise to keep ’em to your
self, but its no use promisin’; for I
never knowed a lawyer or an editor
but what would tell lies—savin’ your
presence. Hows’ever, 1 can’t tell
you nothin’ now, for I’m too flustra
ted, I thought I seen trouble enough
in my young days, tumblin’ down
stairs, an’ swollerin’ spring lizzards,
an’ sich fun, but as I grow older it
grows on me, like rascality on a
Yankee. The hard times, an’ the
bad crops, an’' the war, an’ the taxes,
Un’ the Radicals* is about to run me
rayin’ distracted. I could s outer
make out to bear everything else,
but the taxes on whisky, tbar’s whar
it chaws me. They tax a man for
sellin’ it, an’ I’m expectin’ every day,
they’ll tax me for drinkin’ it. Every
time I go to take a drink I feel
like thar was a tax collector stowed
away in the bottom of the glass, an’
it scares me so I swaller it cross
ways an’ git strangled on it, so that
it don’t do me any good. When I
go to sneeze I alters look round to
see ef thar ain’t a tax collector
standin’ by with a book in his band,
ready to pop me for sneezin’. Did
yon ever read the Declaration of In
dependence, Squire ? ”
“ Some,” said I.
“Well,” oontinued he, solemnly,
“ that thar instrument’s a lie, Squire,
—a livin’ lie. All men are not
equal. A nigger ain’t equal to me,
an’ a abolitionist ain’t equal to a nig
ger, an’ a radical ain’t equal to a
abolitionist, an Parson Brownlow
ain’t equal to a radical. Then I’m
not equal to Jabe Curry an’ Bill
Yancey, an’ they’re not equal to
Bob Lee fax' Jeff Davis, an’ so it goes.
Nobody, ain’t equal till they’re dead,
an’ I guess some of em’ wiU fare
rather* different from others, after
wards, if thar’s any truth in what
Parson Grant preaches. As for a
radical, he ain’t equal to nothin’ else
in all creation. I think he must be
a cross between a mean nigger an’ a
buzzard. Slavery’s as dead as a forty
year old mackerel, but they keep
pickin’ at its carcass, an’ every thing
they say or do has got nigger in it.
I aint got no m*re confidence in ’em
than I have in a bom-shell with half
the fuse burnt out, an’ I ain’t got no
more use for ’em than I have for a
empty whisky barrel. Ef one of ’em
was to sleep in a bed of mine I’d
have it scalded with red. pepper an’
smoked with assifidity jest like thar
had been a pole-cat’s den in it.
While the war was goin’ on they
hollered hooraw! an’ stayed out of
reach of the bullets, an’ stole money
from the government, an’ hired their
soldiers to steal Southern jewelry
from the women, an’ all the while
pretendin’ to be great friends to the
Union. But now when white folks
want the Union made over again
they pull back like a blind jackass,
an’ say we shant go tell we make
the nigger equal to us. It wouldn’t
be no great job to make some equal
to them, an’ 1 wish to God they was
alt penned up together, with a wall
yf fire around- ’em as high as a bulb
bat could fly in a fortnight. Excuse
me, Squire, but when I think of the
things an’ their doins it makes me
madder’u old deacon Watson was
when Dan Johnson filled his snuff
box full of Mexican pepper.”
“And Brownlow?” I suggested.
. “ Oh, Lord! Squire, keep him out
of my mind, ef you don’t want me
to bus’t into more pieces than old
Joneses pig did when I put the blast
in him. I’m satisfied he won’t never
die, for he can’t go to heaven, an’ ef
he ir&a to go t’other niace the devil
Wuld Lave to move out, for bo
would’nt stand no more chance than
a sore-nosed pig on a flat rook.
t gome of the poets say some
thin’ about the devils all agreein ? ”
. “ I think Milton said something to
that effect,” said I.
“ Well, no matter who said it, he
may commence again ef Brownlow
gets among ’em. Thar’s nobody
down thar mean enough to agree
with him, an* ef any of ’em should
undertake to abuse him, they’d lose
thar breath before be talked three
minits. No, he won’t die—he’ll jest
Wwivel np an’ turn to a mud-wasp, or
stingin’ scorripin, or some other
fractious animal.
“Good-bye, Squire. Some time
when ray miuds’ a little more com
posed I’ll tell you somo of my
scrapes,” and, using his heels vigor
ously, he cantered off, nodding his
head from side to side as if his neck
bad lost the use of itself.
Song of the Decanter.
A LITERARY AND TYPOGRAPHICAL CURIOSITY.
There was an old decan
ter, and its mouth was
gaping wide; the
rosy wine had
ebbed away,
and left
its crys
tal side:
and the wind
went humming,
• bumming,
up and
down the
sides it flew,
and through the
reed-like,
hollow neck,
the wildest notes on it
.* blew. I placed it on the
window, where the blast was
free, and fancied that
its pale mouth sang the queer
est strains to "me. ‘ 1 They tell me,
puny conquerors! the plague has
slain his ten, and war his hundred
thousands, of the very best of men;
hut l”—’twas thus the bottle spoke—
"but I have conquered more than all
your famous conquerors, so feared and
famed of yore. Then come, ye youths .
and maidens —come drink from out
my cup, the beverage that dulls the
brain and burnß the spirit up ; that
puts to shame the conquerors
that slay their scores below; for
this has deluged millions
with the lava tide of woo.
. Though in the path of
battle darkest waves of
blood may roll, yet,
while I killed the
body, I have
chained the
very soul.
The chol
er a ,
and sword, such
ruin never wrought as
1, in mirth or malice, on
the innocent have brought.
And still I breathe upon them,
and they shrink before my breath,
and year by year my thous
ands tread the dismal roads to death.”
An Outrage.—About midnight of
the 20th ult., as the forms of the New
Orleans Bulletin were being carried
to the press-room, they were seized
by the police, and locked up in the
station-house.
The property was in the custody of
the sheriff at the time, who next day
made a formal demand for it on the
chief of police, and was told that it
was at his disposal.
The Bulletin has lately published
some severe, but merited, strictures
on the rascally doings of Kellogg and
his minions, and this high-handed
measure was doubtless instigated by
them to suppress that paper; but the
police authorities found that there
was no excuse for the outrage, and
so restored the property.
ht A man in Benton, Vt., in easy ]
circumstances, hung himself the other
day, because ho had been sued for
$29. He left a note saying that he
was perfectly sane, but if be had got
so low that his name wasn’t good for
$29, he had no wish to live longer.
The Alapaha Forester states
that a severe hurricane passed over
that section a few days ago, uproot
ing stumps, and tearing up logs that
had been imbedded in the earth for
years.

belief that real estate has reached its
lowest point in Columbus, and that a
reaction will take place in the fall.

The Secret of Wealth.
(PUBLISHED BY RKQUEBT.)
How many thousands of poor, hard
working men bewail their fate, and,
accusing fate of nnkindness, ponder
bow they caM grow rich.
It requires no Aladdin’s lamp—no
magician's art nor philosopher’s stone,
to discover the secret.
Wealth is within the grasp of every
man possessed of health and sound
mind, if he ♦ill but practice three
things through life, viz.:
INDUSTRY—FRUGALh'Y—ECONOMY.
Industry^means tbfe sound of the;
hammer in the workshop at daybreak.
Frugality means prudence and fore
thought in every expenditure, and
economy means common sense and
"JusticeAjjpyourself, and to those de
pegdgpf on yon.
SET of toil, don’t blame fate for
your poverty—blame yonrself. ’ Tis
your fault—not fortune’s. Yon need
not be poor, unless you will it so.
Every man can obtain wealth if he
tries.
You answer, “ Money makes money,
I know; but I have none.” Then go
to work and get it. Earn it and save
it. Don’t borrow it, for debt is a
tfiillstone. Make it yourself. You
can if you will.
You would ask the seoret of wealth.
The question is answered in the tal
ismanio word of only fpur letters:
b-a-y-k!
This is the keystone to the impreg
nable arch of wealth, without which
the whole structure tumbles.
Begin your savings in small things.
Don’t argue that you need all you
make to live, and can’t save. ’ Tis
false; for were you under sentence of
death, you would save one half you
earn, to save your life. Do as much,
then, to save yourself and family from
poverty.
You argue that you are industrious
now—frugal, because you only buy
necessary things, and Economical as
you can be without being mean.
llow many hours do you waste
every day, that would yield “ money
to save ” ? How many expenditures
do you make for foolish trifles ? Is
this frugality ? How much money
do you waste that might be saved ?
Is this economy ?
You speak of being mean. Is it
mean to provide for a rainy day ? Is
it mean to save up a fund for your
family ? Is it mean to leave behind
you, should you die, enough to keep
your children from being paupers?
No—a thousand times, not
It is mean, rather, for you to de
prive your dependent family of a
means of support when you are gone,
by wasteful indulgence in the frivoli
ties of life. ‘lt is not only mean,-but
it is absolutely criminal.
You claim that your hours of labor
are long enough already; and yet the
farmer or sailor rises with the sun,
and only closes his labor with the
darkness; yet he does not oomplain.
Just realize that you have not one
dollar in the world, and your addi
tional labor will become a labor of
love.
Let us calculate: First, suppose a
laboring man paid by the day. We
will average the pay at $1.50. He
indulges in at least “ two days off,”
each month. This, in a year, would
amount to $36. Suppose he-were by
extra time for a year to make, say 24
days more. This would be equal to
$72 a year, total, which, in five years’
time, would amount, principal and
interest at 6 per cent., to $430,32, or
enough to purchase a neat oottagc
home in yearly installments.
So much for lost labor. Next let
us calculate wasteful expenditures.
A man who makes, say S2O per week,
is a smoker, a chewer, and drinks an
occasional glass of ale. See what this
amounts to:
26 cigars a week $2 60
4 papers tobacco 40
20 glasses ale 1 00
15 car rides 76
5 saloon lunches 1 60
Total per week .... $0 16
This useless outlay would amount
to an aggregate of $319.80 per year.
Now let us average it at S3OO a year.
Suppose this were saved instead of
spent. In five years it would amount,
in principal and interest, to over
$1 ,800, or enough to secure your fam
ily ever after from want.
Another view may bo taken still;
for as every one admits that figures
can’t lie, they niay bo deemed the
straight argument. Suppose yon lay
out a plan to save, and, to ensure a
certainty of keeping ywir determina
tion, you begin at a dollar a week.
If you begin at 20, and save until
$1.50 A YEAR.
you are 60, you have $8,413.12, which,
invested at 7 per cent., would net
you SSO a month in yonr old age.
Should you start at 30, you havez
on reaching 60, $4,256.60; or, should
you delay until you are 40, yon have,
at 60, $1,939.96. These amounts com
prise the savings of only one dollar 4
week with interest compounded at $
per oent.
Surely, then, no man oan truthfully
say, “ I can’t save,” or “ I can’t grow
rich.” Only begin it, and the habit
of eoonomy will grow of itself
fur children will follow your ex*
pie. They also will save; and
what with Hie aid of two or three
bank books in eaoh household! ndi
family need be poor.
One closing hint. The man out
of work, who can show..hiß .bank
book, with deposits rcgiilarly made,’
has a recommendation stronger than
all other endorsements. It proves
industry, frugality, and eoonomy;
and stamps him at once as an holiest!
upright, thrifty man, and one to be
relied on. Remember that “ God
helps those that help themselves.”
WIT and HUMOR.
Nothing makes a person laugh so
much as a set of new teeth.
Mrs. Van Cott says that at one pf
her prayer meetings a negro brother
prayed: “O Lord! send dy angel
to pin de wings on Sister Baucet’s
heels, dat she may fly troo de world
preachin* de eberlastin* Gospel.”
And one added, “ Lord! give wings
on her shoulders, too, or de preach
ing will not have effect, for she’ll fly
upside down.”
An American clergyman wrote td
a lottery agent“ I do not
of lotteries: I regard them as no
better than gambling schemes. My
son bought ticket No. 6 in
drawing, but if he drew anything
don’t send the money to him—send
it to me.” The clergyman will profy
ably feel relieved to learn that the
ticket didn’t draw anything.
( *i)ad, if I were to see a dock oft
the wing, and were to shoot it, would
you liok me ? ” “O, no, my Bonit
would show that you were a good
marksman, and I would be' proud oif
you.” “ Well, then, dad, I peppered
our old Muscovy duck as he was
flyin’ over the fence to day, and it
would have done you good to see
him drop.”
A Danbury man, who received. §
telegram from Buffalo requesting him
to go thither immediately to attend
his mother-in-law’s funeral, sternly,

“ Young gentlemen, do not gqt.
into the habit of betting,” said a pro
fessor to his class. “No kind of bat
is excusable—in fact, every bet is ft
sin as well as a mark of vulgarity.
Have nothing, to do, young gentle-,
men, with a bet of any kind. “ That,
I suppose, puts a finisher upon our.
dear old friend the alphabet /” exr
claimed one of the students. The.
professor smiled blandly upon the,
young man, and gave him fifty extra
lines of Greek. .
Thackeray bad a nose of a most
peculiar shape, as may be seen by
his portraits. The bridge was very
low, and the nostrils extremely
developed. On one occasion, at a
-party where Douglass Jerrold was
present, it was mentioned that Mr.
Thackeray’s religious opinions were
unsettled, and that a lady of bis ac
quaintance was doing her best to
convert him to Romanism.- “To
Romanism 1” exclaimed Jerrold; “let
us hope, then, she will begin with
his nose.’’

A fish farmer gets seventy-five Cepits
