Oath vs. jCredit.
John —(Well, sir, look at dat nigger!
! clothta, bqpts. shined, wide collar!
Whew!!) Hello r .Sabi, been to ’er burnin’
aint’ yer, Loss ?
Sam —No; bin tode stores!
J. —Hush your fuss, nigger !
S—Quick sales, smafr profits, live and
let live, no wedit an’ no old goods, no
payin’ for what other people gits an’
don’t settle ier; and eberyting wurreuted!
J—Oh, hush, nigger! Who do all dat ?
S—Why, Gorman an’ Dennis & Bald
win in Talbotton, and Huff & Persons
at Geneva and Talbotton.
J—G'wa’f in here, nigger 1 Do dey
do it, do ?
S—Yos„an’ fur eberv $lO you spen’ at
Jere stores you save one dollar clear !
J—Dar now 1 Den you kin do ’er
| good day’s work by shellin’ out de green
backs in dem stores,and de more money
yon spen’ de richer you gits. Dey gibs
gold nickels in change, don’t dey, .Skin ?
S—Dey sells you goods from one to
25 per cent, cheaper dan any credic
house is able to do, anyhow.
J—We-well dat pays er man mighty
well fer his cash an’would amount to sob
era! dollars in a twelve months. A nick
el sabed is s dime made, I golly, an’-an’
dat’s bisnips!
S—Jes so ! Folks arc too apt to let
de nickles run away wid de dollars; den
de livin’ toilers de dollars. Eberybody’s
credic is too good ! But it’s shore to
wear out wid de lan’ an’ mules; and den
dey will find out dat de cash store
would hah saved dere credic an’ ma
nured dero lan’, an’ made ole age com
fumtible.
J—Now you is er talkin’, nigger ! One
cash plow puts mo’ money in de pocket
dan five credic plows. An’ credic buys
a heap ’o tings dat we could do jes as
well widoui. Credic ’mands do comfort
ob our ole age and drives our chill rt*
away from home. It makes people
'stravigant an’ cultiwates immorality. It
is onnatral an’ wrong. Cash is de true
frien’ dat shows us 'zactly whar wo stun’
an who we is. Cash is prudence, credic
is impulse. Cash is wide awake, credic
is blind as a bat. It drives away sleep an’
happiness. Cash wreathes de face wid
smiles, softens de heart, makes de chil
duu pooty and de wife lovely. It builds
all its works on foundations of rock and
is itself onmovable as de dips. Cash is
truth, credic is ’er liar, thief and mur
derer. Credic builds air castles, while
cash tunnels through mountains, builds
cities, an’ loads de table for bright eyes
an’ rosy bps. War crowned Liberty’s
brow wid thorns in de South, an’ credic
crucified her an’ left her an objec’ ob
contempt to de wise an’ prudent ob eb
cry nation.
B —Whew ! Why, Lor’ ’er massy, lis
ten at dat nigger 1 What ails you, John ?
J—Credic!
S—Yaw, yaw ! Well, I golly!! But
you is er fast man, do. You’s right
whardey’ll all be in five years; but you’s
er rich man, John.
J—Gwa’fm here, nigger ! Who yer
sultin ? Look at dose pocket-book wid
nufiin but liens in her. Is dat hein rich ?
S —Yes, but you’s er rich man fer all
dat, John; you’s found out de folly ob
credic, an’ now you’ll begin to reap de
fruits ob “Cash” in time to prowide fer
ole age. De credic wounds will heal,but
de scars will remain to warn you. Credic
is er good ting an so is nitro glycerine,
but mind how you handle ’em. dat’s all!
J—Gi’ me a chaw ob cash bacco to
begin on, Sam. I hates ter ax a man fer
bacco, do; it cost so high.
S—High ? Shoo, here’s er whole plug,
nigger ! ’Bacco don’t cost much when
you pays de cash for it; eberyting is
“cheap for cash.” Cash oils de social,
moral, religious, political and mater-o’-
money-al machinery, an’ buys eberyting
dat is fer sale in dis world (an’ most
tings dat ain’t, fer de money; yaw, yaw 1)
Credic! shoo, you had better bet on
stickin yer finger in water an leavin a
hole, or on de buildin ob de Talbotton
Railroad wid “gass,” yaw, yaw !
J—An’ dey will do it, Sam; I kin hear
de keers whistle an’ smell de smoke; an’
de locomotive as she goes (up in a bal
loon) says “chaw, chaw, chaw!” an her
name am “Blarney.” Cash buildn rail
roads, too, don’t it, Sam ?
S—l’m like lots ob oder people,John,
bout railroads, I don’t know nufiin ’bout
um; I should tink, do, dat ’twould quire
bout twenty-five thousand dollars to
build 20 miles, kase dat’s lots er money,
an de beauty bout money fer buildin
railroads is you kin vote it whether you
got it er not, an make future giuerations
yit unborned, foot de lull, yaw, yaw!
Good-bye, John, an always spen yer
cash at a cash store, an yer credic at a
credic store, uderwise you mout nxi
dently pay out cash at credic prices.
Sell for cash, buy fer cash an keep er
cash book only, an you’ll soon be able
to quit plantin all cotton an makin tend
you’s rich when yer couldn't pay five
cent in de dollar; an likewise be able to
pay back dat plug er bacco I gin yer
jes now.

Spurgeon has lost much ef the phys

oftener and more heavily on his desk,
his manner is more hesitating—his voice

Across the Andes. —A correspondent
of the New York World has taken a ride
on Meiggs Railroad, built for the Peru
vian Government, at a cost of $30,500,-
000. Its summit level is 14,566 above
tide water, and it reaches this altitude
by zigzags on grades of two to four per
cent. The most expensive bridge is that
over a raging torrent called the Sombay
which is crossed at an elevation of 200
feet above the river bed and 13,420 feet
above sea level. The bridge is of iron,
rising 130 feet from massive masonry,
and is in two spans of 125 feet each.
The scenery through this greatest vol
canic section of the earth is overpowei
ingly grand, and the geological devel
opments disclosed in building the road

whole, it is probably tho most iutores
ing piece of railway engineering in tho
world, and it will transport merchandize
and produce over a region which here
tofore has been traversed only by*pack
mules through narrow mountain paths
frequently too circumscribed for the mule
trains to pass each other, and where a
meeting would bo fatal—where, in fact,
there is but one series of mule tracks,and
