Uncle Ben,” she continued, as an
hold gray headed negro came a.
round the corner of the eabin,mu<
tering to himself about the care
lessness of some of the other ne
groes. This old couple, Uncleßen
and Aunt Dilsey, as they were fa
miiiaiiy called by all who knew
them, both black and,white, Were
an old couple, who, from age, had
for a long time lived in a small
but snug cabin at the far end of
the row of huts occupied by the
yonuger and more active slaves
Although Uncle Ben w«s not re
quired to do any labor, yet he vol
un atily took a kind of supervis
ion over the farm stock, Ac. When
hs saw Mr. L., he stopped short
and gave him a scrutinizing look,
when Auut Dilsey sgoke, saying:
“Uncle Ben,don’t start your eyev
out at a stranger; dis ole gentle
man was out traveling and come
to slay iu our cabin, kase missus
she can’t let him stay dar, as she’s
got a heap o’ company now.”
“Well,” said Uncle Ban, “We s
commanded dat if a stranger eornes
along we’s got to take him iu an’
give him sich as we have to sei bu
fore him ”
While Aunt Dilsey wus prepar
ing supper Mr. L., learned much
about of the mansion from
Uncle Ben; h%,learned among o b
that they weje a very
roiigblftSsfnnnly, but the hostess
bad been rt.iaed in the city ofR ch
i mo nd. and bad imbibed all the
fai/iouable ideas of religion, with
b/ little of its true principals, and
/ne of its humility. Soon after
Kir. L , bad finished a very good
co irse supper he told his host that
he was very much fatigued from a
long days walk, and would wish to
retire for the night, and that he

Air L. then took an old, well

Ps dm.
Dining the rtadiug, the two
old blacks often said in a low voice
“Amen J Bre is oe Lord.”
Wi en the psa'm was ended Air.
L. fell up m I. is knees, ami poured
(.lit his leelings in such an out
burst of reverential eloquence as
w.-s seldom evtr equaled, andgev
er surp isse lby mortal lips. Ilia
host, an.l h istess were so affected
by liis reading a-el prayer lied
they could do nor say no 111 >r«
then to fix iheir eyes on their
gut st ns :h ugh they felt the h i
was some long more than a mor
tal man. Ha retire 1(o a clean liT
tie pallet in one corner of the
cabin, where lie soon fell asleep.
When moiling came he was up
early. Aunt Dilsey sojn hid bun
a good, plum repast, ufter which
he seated himself to read, telling
liis hostess that he felt too much
fatigued to travel, and if si.e was
willing, he would rest I here un il
the afterneon anyway, and ihen if
he felt better he would go on his
way.
Aunt Dilsey said, “Yes, masfa,
slay jjst as long as you want to;
we bte Vflmi to have y>u stay W'th
us a for nigh t, if you can put up
with our fair.”
Mr L seated himself under a
shady tree in the cabin yard ani
with Lis l ible, waiting to see what
'the finality would be.
About nine o’clock everything
was in a hns'le abdfn' the st' ne
mansion; all the tervanis were

er had made his appearance, for
the last carriage tha came in
sight bad been scanned to get a
gjifltpsg ot the minister. No one
in the large congregation had ev
er seen him, but ad had heard ol
him- So everyone was full of anx
iou* expectations, supposing that
he would be drawn by two or
four fine horses, driven by .1 s-rv
aut in livery.
Ten o’clock passed, half past
tea, eleven o'clock was announced
by he clock on the wall, and no
minis'er.
The company had by this ime
beco ue lestless, and were but
lo disperse, when Auut Dilsey
went to ler mis'ress and said;
“Bie*s de Lord, Mjsgns, why
don'iyongit dot ola who
stayed iu our cabin last night, to
come here t) ds door and pray
fore de folks all go home. He
prayed in oar cibin las' night an

my born days, I neber heard sich

an’ as de preacher’s not come, if
you’ll let him pray. I’ll go righ
now and fetch him down "
The lady Consult ed with some
of the company, the ina er was
talked of among the congregation
when it was agreed to have the
old straggler, as they called him,
come and pray before the congre
congregation broke up.
So Aunt Dilsey went to where
Mr L. was sitting, and said:
“Masta, de folks all dispiri'ed
’bout de preacher cornin’; fie am
not come, and dey wants you to
go down an' pray fur 'em, ’furo
dey all brakes up. Masla, I wants
ywu to yray jist like you did las'
night.”
Mr L. walked dowu to the front
door, repeated a short hymn by
memory, sang, and then engaged
in prayer. By the time his pray
er was ended all eyes were fixed
on him with amazement. He then
remarked that us there seemed
to be a disappointment, that ii it
would not he assuming too much,
ha would talk to them a few min

that there are certain placet, main

it is doubtful, especialy if a severe

As to the citisene they are gen

not the cane with the people of

counties as Pickens and even parts
of Gilmer, aioonshming appears
to be a trait hard for some to rid
themselves of.
In the development of thi® coun

the advent of ihe Marietta & N.Q.

IMWSON OOtMTY, 1880
On the first Monday iu June I
saw coming iu from the Easi and
from the West aid from t .eNort'i j
and the South, six great and good
men, and they were clothed with
power and wisdom, and wero call
ed Jury Gommiasioners.
And these six good men demuu l
!ed the keys of the kingdom un 1
went straight up in'o the Temple
j and did turn out the thieves and
money changers, and I looked up
on these mighty men and in tho
midst thsriflkkdit John D, the
evangelist., iu Ids m.niste
rial raimeu', and he opened liis
mouth and spake as man never
spoke before.
After be 'aught liis brethren in
tho temple. ' hey proceeded to sep
arate the whe t from the chaff’.
I looked again and saw
•.jcoVtivaL' lUffWtHW of Gliver,*and
he was uastiug out devilr.
And I looke,'i' l »i*n H * n I “aw an
other John, and^* fl Wfts looking
upon John I).. and
saying, “Nut my will He
don'.”
Aud I looked and saw one
micdjtyin wisdom, and he wa,
called George, and he spake gret t
things c neeming us whereof we
are glad
And again 1 taw among I hi.

al, who seemed to be rolling in
wealth, and he wae arrayed in cost
ly equipage and was looking down
upon us as a tiain of out-riders
and laqnays ;an l lie was like the
Irishman—all-wise but said noth
ing, ami his name was Newt.
Ai.d it came to pass while these
great and good men were revising
the jury bix, one of them culled
George, said I have a brother-in
law that lias offended me. Shall
we cast him out ?
Then they all marveled one with
another, aud said, “Yea, yea, If
he has offended thee cast him out.
And when I saw these mighty
men of the nation performing this
good work I was constrained to
draw near unto them and ask for
admittance into 'hat august court,
but I was informed that it was the
council chamber wherein the Gods
were holding debate for the weal
of man, and I could not be admit
ted.
Now, these great and good in«n
were selected as .1 ury Commies oi
•re, because they were brare in
council amt wine in battle.

him the poor beast tugged again
in vain. At length the sirangir
called in alow lone “Raven! Itaven!
the horse looked up with intelli

and made for the stanger.drawiug
