THE BOARD FENCE.
“Shoo, aliuo, get home, you plaguy
critters!" cried Mr. Baboook, waring bis
arms as lie chased a dozen sheep and
lambs through a gap in the fence.
It was • wooden faoea, and when be
had saeeaeded in driving the animals the
other side of ft, he lifted it from its re
clining position, and propped it up with
a takes. Thia waa an operation he had
found himself obliged to repeat many
times in the course of the season, and
not only of that season, but of several
previous seasons.
Yet Mr. Baboook was neither slack nor
thriftless ; in fact, lie rather prided him
self on the orderly appearance of his
farm, and not without reason. How
then shall we account for his negligence
in this particular instance ?
The truth was that this fence formed
•the boundary lhtelsstween his estate and
that of Mr. Small ; ami three gem-rat ions
of men who owned these estates had
■been unable to decide to whom it liclong
*ed to rebuild aud keep it iu repair. If
'the owners had chanced to be men of
peaceable dispositions, they had com
promised the matter aud avoided a quar
rel ; lmt if, on the contrary, they Mong
ol to that much ln-ger class who would
sooner sacrifice their own comfort and
t'ouvenieueo tlmu their so-called right#,
this fence had licen a source of unending
bickerings and strife.
And of this class were the present
owners. Again ami ngaiu they had con
sulted their respective lawyers on the
subject, and dragged from their hiding
places musty old deeds and records, but
n! wars with the same result.
“Isoy it belongs to you to keep it in
repair ; that's ns plain ns a pike-staff,"
Mr. Babcock would say.
“And I say it belongs to you,—any
fool might see that,” Mr. Small would
reply, ami then high words would follow,
and they would part, in anger, more de
termined and obstinate than before. The
lawyer’s fees aud the loss by damages
from each other’s cattle had already
amounted to a sum sufficient to have
built a fence round their estates, but
what was that compared to the satisfac
tion of having their own way ?
There was not wanting in the neigh
bhorhood jawe-makers who would glad
ly have w tiled the affair by arbitration;
■ but to this neither of the belligerents
would listen h>r a moment.
At last one day. Miss Letitia dill, a
woman much mpecled in (go village,
t sud of i junc weight os a land owner and
air. liultcock to come
•ml \... on bus mess; a summon
which in 1 mad** haste to obey, as how
conld lie do otherwise where a lady was
aoncerued.
Miss Lstitiu sat at her window sewing
up a seam, but she dropped her work
and took off h<*r spectacles when Mr.
Balx-ock made his appearsnoe,
“So you go’t my message ; thank yon
for coming, I’m sure. Sit down, do. I
suppose my man Isaac told you I wanted
to consult you on a matter of business- -
a matter of equity, I may say. It can’t
be cxi«ctcd that we women folks should
be the liest judges about such tilings,
you know ; there’s Isaac, to be sure, but
thru he lives on the place, aud maybe lie
wouldn't be exactly impartial in his
judgment about our affairs.”
‘‘.Tes’ so," said Mr. Babcock.
“Well, the state of this case is tlii*:
When Isaac came up from the long mea
dow to diuuer-—they're mowing the mea
dow to-day, and an uncommonly good
yield there is—when lie came np to ihn
xier, he found that certain stray cow* hud
’.broken into the vegetable garden,”
“He did, hey ?”
“Yon can fancy the riot they made.
I declare Isaac was almost ready io use
profane language. I’m not sure that he
didn't say ‘deuce,’ and I’m not certain
the did say ‘darn’ ; and after all, I could
n’t feel to reproach him too severely, for
the pains he has taken with that garden
is something amazing ; working it, Mr.
Babcock, early and late, weeding and
digging, and watering, and now to see it
all torn and trampled so that yon would
n’t know which was beets and which was
cucumbers. It's enough to rouse auy
liody’s temper.
“It is so,” said Mr. Babcock.
"Aud that isn’t all, for by the looks of
things they must have been rampaging a
full hour in the orchard aud clover-field
liefore they had got into the garden.
Just you come and see ; and putting on
her sun-bonnet. Miss Letitia showed Mr.
Babcock over the damaged precinct.
“You don’t happen to know those
.animals did the mischief?” said Mr.
Babcock.
“Well, I didn’t observe them in par
-tjcular, but Isaac said there was one
with a-jwrtieular white mark ; something
(like fiQrewi on her haunch.”
•'•’Wtty. that is Small’s old Brindle,”
dvae* Sfe. Babcock. “I know the mark
as well *s I know the nose on my face.
She had ball* on her horns, didn’t she ?”
“Yes, so Isaac said.”
“And a kind of hump on her back ?"
“A perfect dromedary,” said Miss
Letitia. “I noticed that myself.”
“They were Small’s cows—u a doubt
about it at all,'’ said Mr. Babcock, rub
bing his hands. “Xo sheep with them,
Lev ?”
“H ell, now I think of it, there were
<&k |ttc§uftie (Klcelslir Journal
VOL. V.
sheep—they ran -away as soon as they
saw Isaac. Yes, certainly there were
sheep," said Miss Letitia.
“I know it—they always go with the
cows ; and wliat you wish of me—”
“Is to fix the damages,” said Miss
Letitia. “As I said befoie, women folks
an no judges about such matters. ”
Mr. Baboook meditated a moment,
and then said :
“W#U, I wouldn’t take a cent less than
seventy-five dollars, if I wore you—not a
ceut. ”
“Seventy-five dollars! Isn’t that a
gool deal, Mr. Babcock ? Toil know I
don’t wish to be hard on the poor man ;
all I want ia a fair compensation for the
mischief done.”
“Seventy-five dollars is fair, ma’am—
iu fact, I may say it’s low ; I wouldn't
have a herd of cattle and sheep slump
ing through my premises in that way for
a hundred."
“There’s «>tte thing I forgot to state—
the orchard gate was open or they could"
n’t have got in; that may make a differ'
euoe,"
“Xot a bit—not n bit. You’d n right
to have your gate open, but Small’s cows
had no right to run loose. I hope Isnac
drove ’em nil to the pound ; didn’t he ?”
“I heard him sav he’d shut them up
somewhere, and didn’t mean to let ’em
out till the owner calls for ’em. But.,
Mr. Babcock, what if l.e should refuse to
pay the damages? 1 should hate to go
to law about, it.”
“Ho won’t refuse ; if he does, keep the
critters till lie will pay. As to law, I
guess lie’s had about euough of that,”
“lam sure 1 thank you for your advice.’’
said Miss Letitia, “and I mean to act
upon it to the very letter.”
And Mr. Babcock took his leave with
a very happy expression of countenance.
Scarcely was he out of sight when Miss
Letitia sent a summons for Mr. Small,
which heobeyedas promptly as his neigh
bor had done.
Hhe made to him precisely the same
statement she had made to Mr. Babcock,
showed him the injured property, and
asked him to fix damages.
It was remarkable that before he did
this, he should ask the same, question
Mr. Bulicock had asked, namely, whether
she had any suspicion to whom the ani
mals belonged.
“Well, one of them l observed had a
terribly crooked horn.”
"Precisely—it’s Babcock's heifer, I
should know her among a thousand.
She was black and white, wasn’t she ?”
“ Well, How 1 think of it. she was ; one
seldom secs so clear ai black and whits os.
a cow.” '
“To !«■ sure, they’re Balwoek’s animals
fast enough. Well, let me see- wlmt
you want is just alanit a fair estimate, T
Hupixise ?”
“Certainly.”
“Well, I should say ninety dollars was
as low as ho ought to be allowed to get
off with.”
“O, I fear that will seem as if I meant
to take advantage. Suppose we call it -
say seventy-five ?"
“Just as you please, of course ; but
hanged if I'd let him off for less than a
hundred, if ’twas my case.”
“Aud if he refuses to pay ?”
"Why, keep his animals till he conics
rouud, that’s all."
“But there’s one thing I neglected to
mention ; our gate wus standing open ;
that may alter the ease.”
"Xot at nil—there’s no law against
your keeping your gate open ; there is
against stray animals.”
“Yrry well—thank you for your ad.
vice,” said Miss Letitia ; and Mr. Small
departed with as smiling a countenance
as Mr. Baboook had worn.
But at milking time tliut night he made
a strange discovery old Brindlo was
missing !
At about the same hour Mr. Babcock
made a similar discovery—the black and
white heifer was nowhere to be found 1
A horrible suspicion seized them both
—a suspicion which they would not have
• made know to each other for the world.
They waited till it was dark, aud then
Mr. Babcock stole round to Miss Letitia’s,
aud meekly asked leave to look at the
animals which hud committed the tres
pass. He would have done it without
asking leave, only that thrifty Miss Leti
tia always locked her barn doors at night.
While he stood looking over into the
pen when* the cows were confined, and
trying to negotiate with Miss Letitia for
the release of the heifer, along came Mr.
Small, in quest of Brindle. The two
men stared at each other for an instant
in blank dismay, wud then Sung their
heads in confusion.
It was useless to assert that the dam
ages were too high, for had they uot fix
er! them themselves ? It was useless to
plead that Miss Letitia was in a manner
| responsible for what had happened, on
• account of the open gate, for had they
i not assured her that circumstances did
not affect the case ? It was useless to
say that she had no right to keep the
cows in custody, for had they not coun
seled her to do so ! As to going to law
I about it, would they not thus become
' the sport of the whole town ?
“ ‘He that diggeth a pit, he himself
shall fall into it,’" said Miss Letitia, who
! read what was passing bl their minds as
. well as if they had spoken, as the light
of Isaac’s lantern fell full on their faces.
“However, I don’t wish to h“PI tipoji
“Job,Son'lltjpil,(nf |ljp
cows and forgive you, the debt.”
“Hh at is that?” Both looked the
questiou, but did not ask it
"The condition is that you promise to
put a good new fence iu place of the old
one that separates your estates, dividing
the costs between you, and that hence
forth you will live peaceably together as
far as iu you lies. Do you promise ?"
“Yes,”muttered both, ina voicescaroc
ly audible. *
"Shake hands upon it, then,” said
Miss Letitia.
They did SO.
“Now let tiw> cows out, Isaac ; it’s
time they were milked," said she. Aud
the two men went away driving their
animals liefore them, with a shame-faced
air greatly in contrast to the look of
triumph with which they lmd last quit
ted he- presence.
The lmilt, and the strife
eeasiw cause was removed,
but it was long liefore Miss Letitia’s part
of tl\p affair came to the public ear ; for
she Jierself maintained a strict silence
concerning it, ami enjoined the .same up
on her man-servant Isaac.

Scatter Seeds of Mildness.

Shake the white down in the air.

Ah! those little ice-cold fingers!
How they point our memories back

If Papa Waa Only Heady.
I should like to die, said Willie, if my papa
could die too,
Hut he says he isn’t ready, ’cause he lias so
lunch to do :
But my little, sister Nellie says that I must
surely die;
And that she and mama then she stopped,
because it made her cry.
And that she and mama—then she stopped,
because it made her cry.
Hut she told me, I remember, once while
sitting on her knee,
That the angels nevor weary watching over
her and me;
And that if we were good, and mama told
me just the same before.
They will let us into Heaven when they see
us at the door.

him more and more.

And I’ll gather water lilies for the angel at

There will be none but the holy—l shall

But I’ll have to tell the angel, when I meet
him at the door.
That he must excuse my papa, 'cause he
couldn’t leave the store.
That he must excuse my papa, ’cause he

Nellie says that may be I shall very soon be

If papa was only ready I should like to go

But if I should go before him to that world
of light and joy,
Then I guess he’d want to come to Heaven
to see his little boy.

A copy of o«r paper, mailed to Maj.

following letter from him. We would

not only a lover of literature, but has a
highly cultured mind :
Dawson, Ga., Aug. lot, 1875.
H r . F. Comb# — Fatfemed Friend :
On entering the office last eveuing I was
agreeably surprised at liuding a Journal,
bearing my address. Inclosed please
find tlie subscription fre, partly ns a
complimeut for your kind remembrance
of an humble friend, but especially for
the liberal enterprise displayed in the
make up of your sprightly journal, with
its clear type", white, smooth, fmper, and
chaste soleetfolis. “Over Hie Hirer" is
worth the 1 fancied
I could hear the “dip of the golden
oars” while reading it. “Elocution in
the dark” is a giod one. Your adver
tisements are “put up” iu faultless style ;
indeed, the whole “make up” of your
paper is admirable.
1 CHOPS.
With a truly gvitrrfnl heart 1 write you
the. joyful news that we are at this mo
ment having a refreshing shower, after a
long, protracted and withering drought.
The majority of farmers hereabouts have
signally failed in making a crop this sea
son.
EXCURSION.
We have had a fine excursion to Cum
berland Island, 21 miles below Bruns
wick. The party was composed of Capt.
Weston, J. H. and Eugene Crouch, 51.
A. Hnson, Ah. Howard, Col. ,1. H.
Gnerry, Sheriff CbflMr, Willie Bald
win, Owen Geiac, C. L. Mize, Wile and
Sister, Miss Anna White, Willie Collins
and myself. You will readily perceive,
from the names, we had a “gay old
time.” There are two Hotels oil the Is
land, furnishing good hire at moderate
price, viz : $7.00 per week. The season
was uot favorable for ti king or limiting,
being so hot and dry, lint we had all
abundance of fish and venison at the ta
ble. Wo visited
DUNHENNEHS
by Bail boat, some 12 or 15 miles below
High I’oint where we put up. This is a
grand old place, blit now in ruins. It
was owned and occupied by Gen. Green
of Revolutionary fume, and contains the
remains of “Light Horse Harry Lee," the
father of our dead tMnvPttiu, It. E. Lee.
II am dot aurptim s he -good but
: sensitive Lee died soon after visiting the
last resting place of bis beloved father.
VISITORS.
On looking over the Hotel Register I
find file Island lias become a place of
considerable resort. I’urties from At
lanta, Biuuesville, Macon, Hawkiug
ville, Savannah New York and elsewhere,
have been the recipients of the refresh
ing sea breezes, characteristic of that lo
cality, this season.
A part of our crowd chartered a boat
aud sailed over to
ht. kimon’s,
where we had an opportunity of exami
ning the workings of the great “Freznel
Revolving Light.” It is a master-piece
of ingenuity and beauty.
Friend Gnerry, after reachiug the top
of the Light House, protested he would
rather lie iu the middle of the ocean iu a
canoe than step out on the verandah
which surrounds the top of the tower.
Efforts to push him out were unavailing.
It was fun to see how light Crouch
could sitin a boat when the sea was <t little
rongli. He doesn’t like boating, but we
never failed to get him along when a
sailing party was made up—we could not
do without him. Husou and Howard
did up the 1 g for tlie party in the
most accomplished manner. You could
not have failed to enjoy the trip. * *
With my best wishes for the welfare
of you and yours, 1 am,

Messrs. Editor#:
Mr. Eddie Gresham, a young man of
Wilkes county, who is teaching school
about a mile and u half north of Liucoln
ton, had an examination of his school
last Thursday 22d inst., and an exhibi
: tion at night. I will uot attempt to give
you a minute description of either, as I
have been informed that a gentleman
better qualified by far than myaell' has
been asked to do that. But I will give
you a brief synopsis of what I saw and
heard.
There was quite a crowd iu attendance
and all were well pleased with the ex
amination and exhibition. Mr. Gres
ham's school is composed principally of
children, there lieing only two or three
grown scholars. Lsuw several classes
| examined in Geography and English
Grammar, and each class acquitted them
selves creditably, answering readily
every question asked them. I also saw
several classes examined in mathematics,
and every class solved without any
trouble every problem given them, which
showed they lied been property taught.
At the proper tuae dinner was act and
the crowd invited to partake thereof.
the dinner
was composed of every thing nice to eat,
aud the management around the table
was the best I ever saw. And if any one
went away without eueugli to eat it was
his or her fault. After dinner the crowd
re-assembled at the school house when
HON. « R. STROTHER
was introduced and for half an hour
held the audience spell-bound with one
offiis plain, sound speeches on education.
He proved very dearly to the dullest
mind Hint mcnfnl ns well as mental train
ing is very needful in these latter days.
After his speedi t.he examining exerHses
began agnin and continued until font
o'clock when they closed. And from
that time until sundown eveuing rides,
promenades, segnr "safi"
talk was tlie order of the evening.
Messrs. Editors, Old Lincolp is n great
place, notliwithstanding, it is considered
a back street of your beautiful town by a
certain Thomsoninn. A short while be
before sundown supper was spread aud
the crowd invited to the tnble. All nte
aud wore filled.
At early candle light the exhibition be
gun and for a period of four hours the
audience was pleasantly entertained with
sweet music, speeches, comic songs,
humorous dialogues, Ac., &e., A speech

MR. A. S. WinUNOHAM.

tion. He gave them some bits of good
advice, telling them how they conld read
ily tell when their sweethearts were in
earnest. A parsing match also attracted
considerable attention. Some time soon
I will give you some particulars of this
match, some words pursed, Ac.
Every thing passed oft' to the perfect
satisfaction of all. Mr. Gresham is a
young man of high moral and religions
culture, and is well qualified to teach
aud train the youthful mind. 1 had the
pleasure u day or two since of forming
the acquaintance of your general agent,

He is a polite, affable gentleman, aud
will win for himself many friends when
