Taka the tide at the flood and call on HEAVY & FANCY OROCERZES, HILY SUPPLIES, THE SWEET CONTENT IN WHICH Some People Live Fails to Moct the Ap probation of Bill Arp—The Man Who Just Lets His Children Sprout—Furnishing Men fortheNextWar— A Poor Man and His Brood. “ Where ignorance is bliss it’s fol ly to be wise,’’ the poet says; but ignorance is not bliss. Content ment is a good thing, but then n man oughtent to be contented be cause lie is a fool. A man ought to be discontented enough to want to know something. One of my poor nnbors asked me the other day who Colquitt was _ running against, and when I told him, he said bo thought he was running against Hayes, and when I told him that Hayes was President, he said he thought General Grant was President. Nothing troubles him, and he just lives along trom day to day and works his little patches, and raises a few pigs and chickens, and kee[>s a )>oor cow, and has half a dozen little children that never wore shoes or hats and not much of anything else, and they live on po tatoes and siinmonsand berries and go dirty, and nrc os tough asu raw- hide. “ What are you going to do with all them little children?” said I. “ How are you going to raise 'em ?’’ “ Oh, they’ll get along, I rccon,” said he. “ My old daddy raised nine, and we was all about like’em. Four of’em wns killed in the war, and they was good sol diers. I recon these chaps will be alwut ready for the next war. I'll learn ’em to shoot if I don’t learn ’em nnything else. Some folks is good for one thing and some for an other. Taint everybody that can fight you know. They can't stand it.” And there was this )*>or fel low actually apologizing for the ;ieople who couldn't fight, and in his poverty, raising up a gang of children to defend the country when the time came. Poverty is a curse to some folks, but it nin’l to him. He don't want anything, hardly. If he hud a hundred dol lars to conic suddenly, he wouldn't know what to do with it. It would make him more miserable. He’s got a rifle and kills squirrels and turkeys, and his children catch rab bits and partridges, and they are all happy and contented in their way, hut after all it's a ]>oor way. If every body was as poor and as ignorant, wo would get run over and gobbled lip mighty quick. We wouldn’t huve any government or any schools or churches. A man can be too rich and he can be too poor. Old Agur prayed to the Lord to give him neither poverty nor riches, and that’s the bait. But poor folks do have a power of ch il- dren, and they are always on hand when a fight comes. Tom Howard told me he had a poor tenant who had seven or eight little cotton hcaila, about one a year, and at last his wife had twins, and Tom, says lie: “ Jack, this sort of doing COW FEED, Etc. Ka«pa ilwijra OB hand a Hill supply of CORN, OATS, ETC. Storaoa Hook klnoi, Dost door to bio hl.rrj ter is a hard one, for there’s no money to' buy shoes and warm clothes, and the mother is Bick; but they told my wife the other day they was all going to the circus—old man, old woman and all. “What for?” said she; “why don’t you save your little cotton money to buy some clothes for the children?” But the last one of em wns high up for the circus. They had seen the pictures over at the blacksmith shop, and heard a man say it was the biggest show upon the face of the earth. These sort of people look upon a circus os one of their privileges—something as free to them as to the rich, a place where they can go and see as much ns anybody, a splendid frolic on a cheap scale, and it gives them something to talk about and dis cuss for months to come. So I don’t blame em—do you ? Iait em go to the circus and take the children, for the poor don’t have frolics. I lcckon I'll have to go myself, on account of my children —they’ve got their hearts set on it. A feller come along aud throwd out some of the pictures at the gate, and the children believe everything they see on cm. I told em them hippopotamusses didn’t open their mouths quite as wide as was in the pictures, and I heard they hail left some of their clefants behind, hut I reckon there will he enough to do cm till the next circus comes along. 1’oor little things ! They live out here in the woods and never see nnything bigger than n wheat thrash or a drove of mules go by. My good old fnthcr dident believe in circusses, nnd had just as leave been caught in a farohank. and so I never got to go to em. and if I’m any the better for it I don't know it. Our preacher went Inst yenr to sec the electric light, hut 1 no ticed he stayed as long as anybody anil wasn't perusin the light more than half the time. He said it hurt his eyes nnd he was obliged to look down. Brother Johnson said lie was going to please his little boy; hut the little hoy got sick, and brother Johnson went anyhow, so that he could go back nnd toll Ins little boy all about it and cheer him up, nnd mnybe it would ho|ie him. Parents are mighty good to their children about such things, ain’t they ? liii.i. Am'. Mr. Burdette’s Boy. Mr. Robert Burdette matches Mark Twain in his droll and laugh able way of putting things. In one of his Burlington “Hawkeyetems,” he thus describes his active baby: The boy runB alxn t one hundred and fifty miles a day, and wouldn’t quit then if it didn’t grow dark. Ho is very busy. He has all the care of me, and, In addition to his regu lar routine duties, he manages a thousand things no one else would think of. Yesterday morning, before ten o’clock, he picked and ate, regard less of maturity or color, a pint of wild strawberries, followed a wagon half a mile down the road, got lost in the woods, choked up the foun tain with gravel, fell out of a ham mock, stung himself with a bee, ate some strange-looking berries that his mother knows are deadly poi son, played with a ir.ad dog (his aunt says she knows it was mad), talked to a tramp who came to kid nap him (it wns an honest fanner coming in to the circus, but the boy’s aunt and mother united on the tramp and kidnapper theory), stepiied on a red lizard, built a dam and fell into the brook. I |iel|ied him build the dam; in fact, I confess that 1 built the great er part of it, and enticed the prince to assist, but lie fell into the brook himself, and all statements to tho effect that I pushed him in and laughed at him nnd encouraged him to enjoy it, are simply cara- paign stories circulated for political effect. A Female Crusoe. If Do Foe had only known of a female Crusoe living on an ocean island, he might, iierhaps, have , ... , , , , wrought out a story superior to his ^* llln B Clllb > the successful Robinson Crusoe. Alexander Sel-1 ° <:oan . vo >' n «e Englishmen or A Sail Boat to Cross the Ocean. The Berlin papers announce that next mouth an ordinary sailing boat, well known to the river Spree, will start from the JannowRx bridge for New York. The route will He «1 ng the Spree, tho Havel and the Elbe to Hamburg, thence to Liverpool, and from Iiverpool across the Atlantic, to return through the West Indian Archipel. ago to I.islion, and thence direct to Hamburg nnd inland to Berlin.— The first thought of the undertak ing was at a dinner of the Berlin Woman’s Bights in Africa. The Bolomla negroes in Africa believe in the supremacy of wom an. It is with them the Inw that woman shall sit in the councils of the nation; that a young man on entering the matrimonial state shall remove from his own village to that of his wife, and in this rela tion he shall hind himself to pro vide his mother as he shall live, wife alone can divorce the hus band, nnd the children in that event become the property of the mother. The men cannot enter j The Adieus Manner is jubilnnt over the pros|iects of Georgia. It says: “The State of Georgia and the South generally have now lie- forc them a better promise of pros perity than they have had since I860. The cotton crop,.in spite of the increasing difficulties which at tend free labor, lias been growing larger from year to yenr, and yet the price lias not decreased in pro- jK.rtioi), This year the fleecy sta ple has come to maturity two or three weeks earlier than usual, aud if the frosty weather should he de layed as it wns last year, an im mense crop will be gathered. From present pros|iecta it is going to bring fair prices, and a largo crop with fair prices will give the South ern pooplo the grandest impulse to wards permanent pros|ierity Hint they have had since the disasters of war came ujion them. With the prosjierity of the planters conies prosperity to all others, and every where signs of this are to Ire seen. Men arc getting out of debt, and are having surplus money to edu cate their children, improve their homes, and give their families more kirk’s brief fife on Juan Fernandez was trivial, cither in the hardships endured or the difficulties con quered, compared with that of a native woman on an island opposite Southern California. The Catholic Fathers at South Barbara were transporting tile na tives of the Island St. Nicholas to the mainland. Among them wns a mother who discovered that her babe had been left behind. She begged that the ship might be put hack, but the captain refused. She leaped into the sen to swim ashore, but, ns a storm prevailed, they all thought she wns drowned. Eighteen years after, a company landed on the islnnd. They saw signs of fife, nnd, after long starch, found the woninn, nnd took her Americans in a lioat of sixteen feet in length. A Berlin banker vent ured that no German would dare to undertake such a voyage. An other mem her, who was formerly the captain of a German transatlantic steamer, wagered that he would find Germnn sailors and sportsmen, who would not shrink from the jour ney from Berlin itself to America in a little Spree sailing boat. The wager was accepted, nnd fixed at 6,000 marks. There seems to be no lack of volunteers for the extraor dinary adventure. Willing to Take His Word For It. A consumptive-looking man, lame and feeble, nnd carrying a pint bottle full of something, halted n pedestrian on Bates street yester- with them. The poor mother nev-1 day and said: er found her babe, but hnd man- “I found tliis bottle on the cor aged to live in comparative com- ner back there, and I wish youM fort, though very lonely.

History affords few instances of devotion that prove the existence of love in a higher degree than that given by Kit Carson’s Indian wife to her bravo nnd manly lover.— While mining in the West he mnr- ried an Indian girl, with whom he lived very happily. When lie wns taken ill, a long wny from home, word wns sent to his wife, who mounted n fleet mustang |iony and traveled hundreds of miles to reach him. Night nnd day continued her journey, resting only for n few hours on the o|ien prairie, flying on her wonderful little steed as soon ns she could gnther up her forces anew. She forded rivers, she sealed rocky passes, sho waded through morasses, nnd finally ar- hnrtshorn.” “Well, I’m perfectly take your word for it witho insults,” observed the inv nil injured voice, and he took Isittle nnd walked off like a man who had been abused without the least excuse.—Free Proa.
