TRIPJ.IGHTLY.
Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong;
We only make grief double
By dwrelliug on it long.
Why clasp Woe’s hand so tightly?
\\ hy sigh over blossoms dead ?
Why cling to forms unsightly ?
Mr hy not seek joy instead ?
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though oil the days be dark.
The suu may shine to-morrow
And gayly sing the lark.
Fair Hope has not departed,
Though roses may nave fled;
Then never be down-hearted,
But look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,
Stand not to rail at doom;
We’ve pearls to string of gladness
On this side of the tomb.
Whilst stars are nightly shining,
And heaven is overhead,
Encourage not repining,
But look for joy instead.
“DOING” A SHERIFF.
BY T. A. BURKE.
[lHrie Farmer.]
(VyyANY PERSONS in the
A I county of Hall, State of
Georgia, recollect a
queer old customer who used to
visit the county site regularly
on “General Muster” days and
court weeks. Ilis name was
Joseph Johnson, but ho was uni
versally known as Uncle Joscy.
The old man, liko many others
of that and the present day,
loved his dram, and was apt,
when he got among “the boys”
in town, to take more than ho
could conveniently carry. His
inseparable companion on all
occasions was a black pony, who
rejoiced in the namo of “General
Jackson,” and whose ditniiiuti vo
ncss and sagacity were alike rc
markablo.
One day while coart was in
session in the little villago of
Oainesville, the attention of the
Judge and bar was attracted by
a rather unusual noise at the
door. Looking towards that
aperture, his honor discovered
the aforesaid pony and rider de
liberately entering the Hall of
Justiee. This, owing to the fact
that the door of the court house
was nearly on a level with the
ground, was not difficult.
“Mr. Sheriff,” said the Judge,
“see who is creating such a dis
turbance of this court.”
“It's only Uncle Josey and
Gin’ral Jackson, Judge," said the
“intruder, looking up with a
drunken leer, “jest mo and the
Gin’ral, come to see how you
and tbo bc>3' is gettin’ along."
“Well, Mr. Sheriff,” said the
Judge, totally regardless of the
interest manifested in Ids own
and the lawyers'behalf, by Un
cle Josey, “you will please col
lect a line of ton dollars from
Uncle Josey and the General for
contempt of court.”
“Look-a-here, Judge, old fel
ler,” continued Uncle Josey, as
he stroked the Gin’ral's mane,
“you don’t mean to say it, now
do yer? This child huin’t hud
that much money in a coon’s
age, und as for the Gin’ral Lore,
I know he don’t deal in no kind
of quoino, which he hain't done,
’cept fodder and corn, for these
many years.”
“Very well, then, Mr. Sheriff,”
continued his honor, “in default
of the payment of tbo fine, you
will convey the body of Joseph
Johnson to tho county jail, there
to be retained for the space of
twenty-four hours.”
“Now, Judge, you ain’t in
right down good yearnest, is
you? Uncle Josey hain’t never
been put in that lhar boarding
house yet, which ho don’t want
to bo neither,” appealed tho old
roan, who was apparently too
drunk to know whether it was
a joke or not.
“The Sheriff will do hia duty
immediately,” was the Judge’s
stern roply, who begun to tire
of the old man’s drunken inso
lence Accordingly Uncle Josey
and tho Gin'ral were marched
off towards tho county prison,
which stood in a retired part of
the villago. Arriving at the
door, the prisoner was com
manded by tl e Sheriff to light.
“Look-a hero, Jess, horse-fly,
you ain’t a gwine to put your
old Uncle Josey in there, is yer?”
“’Bliged to do it, Uncle Jo
sey,” replied the Sheriff, “ef 1
don’t the old man (tbo Judge)
will give me goss when I go
back. I hale it powerful, but I
must do it.”
“But, Jess, couldn’t you man
age to let the old man get away?
Thar ain t nobody here to see
you. Now and , Jess, you know
1 fit for you in the last run you
had ’long cr Jim Smith, what
like to a heat you for Sheriff,
which he would have done it if
it hadn’t been for your Uncle
Josey's influence.”
“I know that, Uncle Josey,
but thar ain’t no ehance. My
oath is very pinted against al
lowin’ anybody to escape. So
you must go in, cos that ain’t do
j other chance.”
“I tell you what it is, Jess, I’m
; afeared to go in thar. Looks
too dark and dismal."
“That ain’t nothin’ in thar to
hurt you, Undo Josey, which
thar haiu’t been for six mouths.”
“Yes thar is, Jess, you can’t
fool me that a-way. I know
thar is somethin’ in thar to ketch
the old man."
“No that ain't I pledge you
my honor thar ain’t.”
“Well, Jess, if thar ain’t you
jest go in and see, aid show Un
cle Josey that you ain’t afeard.”
“Certainly, I ain’t afeard to
g°-"
Saying which the Sheriff open
ed the door, leaving the key in
the lock. “Now Uncle Joscy,
what did I tell you? I know'd
thar want nothing in thar.”
“Maybe thar ain’t where you
| are staudin', but jest let’s sco
! you go.up into that dark place,
I in the corner.”
“Well, Uncle Josey," said the
unsuspecting Sheriff, “I’ll satisfy
! you thar ain’t nothin’ in thar
j either,” and he walked towards
‘ the dark corner. As lie did so,
the old man dexterously closed
j tho door and locked it.
“ Hello! thar,” yelled tho
| frightened officer, “none o’ your
! tricks, Undo Josey; this is car
rying the joke a cussed bit too
I tar.”
“Joke! I ain’t a jokin’ Jess;
I never was moro in yearnest in
my life. Thar ain't nothin’ in
thar to hurt you though, that's
i ono consolation. Just hold on a
little while, and I’ll send some of
the boys down to lot you out.”
And before tho “sucked in”
Sheriff had recovered from his
astonishment, the pony and his
rider were out of hearing.
Uncle Joscy, who was not
as drunk as ho appeared, stop
ped at tho grocery, took a drink,
again mounted the Gin'ral and
called the keeper of the 'grocery
to him—at the same time draw
ing the jail key from his pocket.
“Hero, Jeems, take this ere key,
and of the old man or iiiiy of
them boys up there at the court
house inquires after Jess Ruuion,
the Sheriff, just you give ’em
this key and my com[ iiments,
and tell 'on. Jess is safe. Ketch
’em ‘ukin in’ Uncle Josoy, will
yer? Git up, Gin’ral, these boys
here won't do to trust; so we
will go into the country, whar
people’s honest if they is poor."
The Sheriff, after un hour's
imprisonment, was released and
severely reprimanded by the
Judge, hut the sentence of Uncle
Josey was r over executed, as he
never troubled tho court again,
and the Judge thought it useless
to'iinprison him with any hope
of its effecting tho slightest re
form.
'Squire Bray’s Courtship,
’Squire Bray, of Caswell, was
hunting another wife, but his
son Bob, a wild blade, knocked
him out of it. In the capacious
breast pocket of the ’Squire’s
great-coat reposed a pint tickler,
well filled, that he only proposed
using on his waj- back from see
ing the Widow Brown. Now,
just before he started Bob slip
ped the tickler out and put in
its place a small alarm clock,
carefully wound up and set for
11 p. m. The ’Squiro had sat
the fire out and was well on with
his overcoat, holding the widow’s
hand at tho door and putting in
his sweetest licks for the last.
“Yes, your . first husband, my
dear, was one of my Dost friends,
and we’ll visit his and my lest
Hannah’s grave’s, won’t we,
love!” “Ah, yes, your poor
Hannah,” asked tho widow, “a
good woman.” “She was good
enough, but there’s a living one
just as sweet,” said the ’Squire,
and he was drawing her to him
for a kiss when whizz-wizz-zizz
wizzer-hizzer-ting whir-r-r, ting!,
bang! the clock wont off iDside
of him. “Oh lawd!” screamed
the widow, “he’s shooting to
pieces! It’s Hannah’s old pean
ny a playin’ inside of him!”—
“She said she’d haunt mo! She
alters told me so!” cried tho
’Squire, running in a stoop for
his horse, with both hands press
ed to his breast and the elocn
still striking, ting, ting. He
rode like Old Nick was after him
and never knew the cause of the
racket till he felt for his tickler
and pulled out the clock that
Bob had bought at auction.—
Then be laughed t : Il the tears
ran, hut he promised Bob never
to spark another woman
ii he’d only keep tho joke from
the neighbors. The widow be
lieves to this day that old man
Bray is a walking volcano.
THOMSON, G A.. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11,1880.
The Man of Humble . Opinions'
The other night about ten
o’clock a constable who was
walking up Maple street on busi
ness was haultcd by u weak
looking little man, who was a
bit agitated. Tho officer bus
pectod a family row, but it didn’t
turn out that way. The little
mau asked him to stop around
the corner and take a look at a
certain house and the officer
stooped. It was an unoccupied
house, and as they halted before
it tho citizen said :
“It is my humble opinion that
thero is no family in hero and
that a water-pipe has burstod.
I dislike very much to see tiny
one’s property damaged if I can
prevent it."
Sure enough, there was two
feet of water in tho collar and
moro rushing in.
“It is my humble opinion,” re
marked the little man as tho
two looked through the collar
window, “that some' thief has
cut off tho pipe and tho drain
is stopped up. Perhaps you
don’t want to soo the property
damaged ?"
The constable didn’t. In bis
philanthropy ho decided to open
the drain, and the little mau hav
ing procured a candle, tho officer
waded in water up to his knees,
poked around for ten minutes
with a stick, and finally opened
the drain.
“Now, then, it is my humble
opinion that wo ought to plug up
the pipe,” observed the little
man, and the officer drovo a plug
into it at the expense of a Bhow
er bath which wot him all over.
“A good job—a good job,’
chuckled the citizen,” “but see
ing that you are certain to ho
down town in the morning, it is
iny humble opinion that you’d
better call at the water office and
leave word to have tho water
shut off.”
The officer agreed. Next morn
ing, as ho went past the office, a
red rag around his neck and a
cold jn his head, ho Ifitt the m>s
sage and learned that the house
belonged to tho little man of
humble opinions ! If the con
stable catches him on the street
some dark night * * * I ! ! !

A Weather Prophet.
A pleasant anecdote is told of
Partridge the celebrated almanac
maker. In travelling on horse
back into the country ho stopped
for his dinner at an inn, and af
terward called for his horse that
ho might reach tho next town
where he intended to sleep.
“If you would take my advice,
sir,” said the worthy holster, as
lie was about to mount his horse,
“you will stay where you are
for the night, as you will surely
bo overtaken by a pelting rain.”
“Nonsense, nonsense,” said the
almanac-maker, “there is a six
ponso for you my honest fellow,
and good afternoon to you.”
lie proceeded on his journey,
and soio enou.h te was well
drenched in a heavy shower.
Partridge was struck with tho
man’s prediction, and being al
ways intent on tho interest of
his almanac, he rode back on the
instant, and was receivsd by the
bolster with a broad grin.
“Well, sir, you see I was right
after all.”
“Yes, my lad, you have been
so, and here is a crown for you ;
but’ I give it to you on condition
that you tell me bov you knew
of this rain.”
“To bo sure, sir,” replied the
man; “why the truth is we liavo
an almanac in our house called
‘Partridge’s Almanac,’ and the
follow is such a notorious liar,
that whenever ho promises us a
fine day we always know that it
will be the direct contrary. Now,
your honor, this, the 21st of
June, is put down in our almanac
in-doors as ‘settled fine weather,
no rain.’ I looked at that before
I brought your horse out, and so
was enabled to put you on your
guard.”
How Pompeii Was Destroyed,
The recent commemoration of
the destruction o' Pompeii seems
to have revived the universal in
terest inspired by the famous
city, for we cannot open an ex
change paper without reading
something about it. It was only
accidentally discovered by a
peasant digging in a field in
DiIS. When the excavations
have been completed it will
probably bo found that about
fifteen hundred persons perished
in the catastrophe. IIow? Not
\by lava, for tho city stood on a
plateau which diverted the fiery
streams; uot from stones hurled
from Vesuvius, for tho city is out
of tho range of those ponderous
projectiles; not by tho rain of
pumice stone, for tho particles
were as light us snow-flakes.
They wero killed by _an earth
quake or asphyxiated by gases
heavier tbah the air, by sulphu
ric and carbonic acids. Old men,
the sick and prisoners perished
because they wore unable to fly.
Tho phenomenon lasted full five
days, at tho expiration of which
ho fugitives returned to limit
among tho ashes for the valua
bles tnoy bad left in their houses.
A catalogue of tho articles found
in Pompeii filL a largo volume.
How He “SetTm up.”
Simply because tho man who
stands behind tho bar of a cer
tain saloon on Gratiot avenue is
a pleasant faced, smiling old man,
certain parties came to the con
clusion that there was no fight
in him. They therefore booked
up a plan to play upon bis fear
and make him “sot. ’om up” for
tho crowd. Three red nosed
men called upon tho old man in
a body yesterday, and business
was opened by one of them say
ing:
“When I was in hero last night
you handed me a glass of beer
with a fly in it. No gentleman
would do that. You meant it ns
an insult, and now I demand sat
isfaction. You must meet ine
on tho field of hoaor."
“Ish dot bossihle! V hat field
ish dot ?” exclaimed the astou
islied bartender.
“You must go out with me
and figh a duel!”
“Good gracious, ish dot so?”
“Yes, it is. I’ll go out and and
leave my two friends here to set
tle the details with you. 1 must
either have blood or an ample
apology I”
When tho belligerent had re-’
tired, one of the others said: t
“Soo here, old man, I’m utt-aiil
you have gc>Vyourself
box. That chap is a sure shot,
and he’ll wing you."
"How vhiil ho put hoiiio wings
on me ?" innocently enquired tho
beer-jerker.
“Now, listen You insulted
him."
“Yaw.”
“He demands tho satisfaction
of a gentleman.”
“Yaw.”
“You must fight a duel with
him or apologize aud set up the
beer.”
"Vhat ish a duel?”
“Why, you will go outside tho
city and pa f, o off ten puces, and
shoot at each other. Now, then,
will you do that, or set up tho
bee’’ and beg his pardon Y”
“Vhcli, 1 tells you,” replied
the old man, us he lifted a big
navy revolver into sight, “if 1
sets up the peer I lose fifteen
cents; if I go; oudt and fights
some duels I kill him stone dot!”
“And you’ll fight?”
“Yaw, 1 vhill; it is sheupcrl’’
“Bon,t you know,” said the
man, after a blank silence, “that
you’ll have to fight all three of
us?”
“Yaw, I spose I vhill. I shall
now fight mit you two, and duke
der odder one to-morrow.”
ilc thereupon changed his pis
tol for a club, danced around the
bar, and the way he rushed ’em
out was painful to see. The bel
ligerent was waiting on the cor
ner, ami as the pair came dust
ing out be called:
“Did he set ’em up?”
“Set ’em up 1“ shrieked ono of
the iimpers, as ho came to a
halt; “is knocking a man over
two beer kegs and a table setting
’em up ?”
