At the suggestion of Black Watt, we decided to escape the nation. A gentleman by the name of Hargrove, then prospecting with refer ence to settling in the nation, was on this very night stopping with Black Watt. He was called np from nis bed to advise with us as to the best plan of escape, and kindly loaned ns $25 for the trip. Taking with ns a ham of meat and as much cold bread as happened to be on hand, with a blanket each, and onr guns, we took a i trail leading a little south of west to the Etowah river, which we reached before day, and pro- j cured from a settler by the name of Murchison a canoe. We also obtained additional supplies, [ entered the river in the canoe, struck down the : current, and pushed vigorously onward. As daylight approached, we ran our canoe under a dense cluster of willows, and kept closely con cealed during the entire day. We were then only about twelve miles in a di- j rect line from the cave where the Indians were ; still in counsel upon the proposition for our 1 ransom, and were wrangling and almost fighting over the matter up to 2 o’clock the following day, when their conference was terminated by a re port of an outside party who had accidentally discovered the place of onr wonderful escape. During all this time we lay snugly concealed, and when night came, again moved down the stream; and so we traveled, hiding at day and boating all night, until we reached a point on the Coosa river in Alabama nearly opposite Jackson ville. We then left the river and sojourned for several months in that section, supporting our selves by working as day laborers. We at length entered the State of Georgia and fell in with some friendly Creeks in Carroll county. From them we learned that Leathers and his gang had grown unpopular with the Cherokees soon after our departure, and had been driven from the na tion, and that the Indians had at one of their councils, acquitted us of all blame. Thereupon Sequoyah returned to his people, and I to the home of my nativity in the State of North Caro lina. [For The Sunny Sonth.l OLD MAIDS. BY H. E. SHIPLEY. Heaven bless the old maids ! This benediction is pronounced neither pityingly nor patroniz ingly, but is an emanation of a thorough appre ciation of the many virtues and excellencies of that much-abused and misunderstood class. Of course, we refer only to those who are old maids indeed; who have voluntarily abjured the estate matrimonial. Though the masculine mind is very sceptical on the point of there being any such, we beg leave to assure those doubting Thomases that we have actually seen with our own eyes, real live, voluntary old maids. There are without doubt many Sister Annas on the housetop of expection anxiously looking for " the man coming,” but who will assert that her position is not preferable to that of the terror- stricken wife below ? Men collectively and individually believe that no woman enters or remains in the estate of old maidenhood except from sheer necessity. They have an idea that all women go through life with an eye single to matrimony, which outlook is only relinquished when death closes the vista. They do not understand that a woman may pre fer a life of independence and freedom to that of being their most obedient slave. We use the term advisedly. Hackneyed though it be, it has yet sufficient force to express the state of servi tude in which the majority of married women drag out their lives. Not in the servitude of menial labor, though that is often thrown in for good measure, but in that subservience to every whim and caprice of these lords of creation— the anxious watching of the august eye; the lit eral wearing out of soul and body in an ineffec tual and unappreciated effort to please. This case is not invariable; there are extremes of better and worse, but if any one doubts this to be the average state of wives, let a convention of inquiry be held, and each member compare notes of what he knows about his most intimate friend’s. If the result doesn’t bear us out in the use of the word, we will cheerfully retract, and substitute any which this friend of humanity may suggest. Dear old maids ! ye are the salt of the earth, though you sometimes lose your savor of discre tion and desert your ranks—for this ye are justly punished by being trodden under the feet of men and given over to weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Pray do not let any one, even the poet Laureate, persuade you of the principle that “it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.” Don’t be lieve it, unless you are emulous of martyrdom. Your boat now glides placidly down the stream of life, its current bearing you away from the Charybdis of legal masculine tyranny, and the Scylla of infantile exactions. There may be in equalities of surface which appear greater to you because you rise and fall with its un dulations. Be not deceived by the delusive calmness on the matrimonial side. Behold sunken reefs beneath ! The roar of the breakers ahead is turned to a murmur ere it reaches you, and the general aspect of the stream so softened by the rose-colored mist which divides it that its real character does not appear to you. There is good, wholesome truth underlying the thrust at at one of the unpleasant phases of married life. That statement of the Indiana woman, who, being divorced from her husband, and afterwards hiring herself to him as a cook, was delighted with the change, inasmuch as she could in the latter case have a little money to spend without begging for it until she felt as mean as a sneak-thief. So be warned in time. “May you remain in statu quo.' May your numbers never grow less!” Fearful Ride. The Ogdcnsburg Journal tells of a tramp who was attempting to steal a ride from that city to Rouse’s Point, recently, during which he had an experience that he will not soon forget: The splendid pair of tigers and zebra which formed a part of the Hippodrome Menagerie, which has spent most of the summer here, were shipped that night for New Y'ork by way of Rouse’s Point. The tigers were removed from their cage, placed in temporary boxes, and put into a box car. The door of the car was left partly open to allow a free circulation of air. The tramp, in looking for a good place to stow himself away, came across this open car and crawled in. After the train started, the tigers became uneasy from the rumbling of the cars, having remained in a quiet state here for two months, and tried to get out of the boxes. The tigress succeeded, and as she emerged from her coop, the tramp shrunk back into a comer and remained the rest of the trip as rigid as a statue. The tigress, after making an examina tion of the car, in which she even lapped the face of the tramp, laid down at the door with her paws hanging out the rest of the journey. In the morning, when Herr Lingall came to look after his pets, he discovered the tigress occupy ing the same position, and ordered her back into the box. and she obeyed. He then discov ered the tramp who still occupied his crouch ing position, with his clothes wet through with perspiration, and speechless from his night ride with the tigers. It was a fortunate thing for him that it was the female that got out of the box, for she is as kind and tractable as a kitten, while the male would have killed him before reaching the end of the journey. That which moveth the heart most is the best poetry; it comes nearest unto God, the source of all power. [For The Sunny South.; GOOD-BYE. THE E.VD OF A SIMMER LOVE-DREAM. FBOM THE MSS. OF W. W. HENDBEE. And so we part with light adieux, And wander down diverging ways; The love that served us to amuse The dreamy, listless summer days. Begins to grow too great and strong,— We trifled with our hearts too long. The pleasant summer-time is gone. No more is heard the hum of bees; The verdure that the Spring put on Is sadly falling from the trees; The flowers are dead, the birds have flown— November moans her monotone. But stiE our parting we delay— Tho’ why we wait we cannot tell; We linger sadly, loth to say The saddest word of all—FareweU; And 3trive to frame some faint excuse That may retard our last adieux. But aU in vain, for we must part, And love grows stronger as we wait; So let us go. A lover’s heart Weighs Uttle in the scales of Fate; Between us Fate has placed a bar And said, “Tour love may go so far.” For we have other parts to play Pertaining to our worldly state: You—in the circles of the gay, A queen among the rich and great; And I—obscure in name and birth, A wanderer upon the earth. Our Uttle comedy is played— The actors bow and pass away, The epilogue must now be said; Our love has lived its little day, And here the sweet delusion ends,— We never can be more than friends. No more we’U wander down the sands, To watch the sunset o’er the sea; Nor see the moon shed o’er the lands Her loveliness and mystery; Nor spend the hot and sultry noon Among the leafy woods of June. For other scenes wiU charm our sight, And other thoughts engross the mind; We may no longer dare to slight Society and human kind. This Summer idyl then wiU be Nought but a pleasant memory. But in our hearts wiU linger yet The recollection of its bliss; A tender thought, a vain reget, In all the Summers after this. Will make us sigh whene’er the breeze Comes sweeping thro’ the leafy trees. Thro’ aU the future, we will keep A fond remembrance of each other; And tho’ we strive to soothe to sleep The feelings that we cannot smother, We oft wiU sigh, with secret pain, To Eve this Summer o’er again. If when I sit among my friends, While wine and laughter pass around, Tour name amid their converse blends, My heart wiU waken at the sound, And aU my pulses throb and thriU, Although my Ups be mute and still. And when as all alone I sit, While night and darkness round me faU, And watch the fitful firelight flit In eerie shapes along the waU, I call to mind my life's romances, And summon from the land of fancies The phantoms of the women fair That I have loved and lost and missed, One face will ever mingle there, With lips that I have never kissed— One form more dear than aU the rest That never in my arms was prest. And when the others fade away, And vanish into empty air, That face and form alone wiU stay And hover o’er my easy chair, And with its dark and searching eyes Bead thro' my deepest heart disguise. And you, as thro’ the world you move, WiE ne’er again be “fancy free,” For from your heart a sigh of love WiU some time wander back to me; Time wiU not banish that regret, Nor teach you wholly to forget. Whatever fate the years may bring— Or joy or woe, or peace or strife— One note through aU its chords wiU sing, And mingle in your song of life; Whate’er you lose, whate’er you win, Nought wiE destroy the “might-have-been.” So fare-thee-well! Whate’er betide— Of joy or grief, of weal or woe— Our paths in Ufe must here divide, And each a separate way must go; One pressure of the hand—a sigh Is aU that I may ask. Good-bye! TEMPERANCE. How Jesus Draws Men. Dr. Payson, once in the process of a revival at Portland, gave notice that he would be glad to see any young person who did not intend to seek religion. Any one would be suprised to hear that about thirty or forty came. He spent a very pleasent interview with them, saying nothing about religion till, just as they were about to leave, he closed a few very plain remarks thus: “Suppose you should see coming down from heaven a very fine thread, so fine as to be almost invisible, and it should come and gently attach itself to you. You knew, we suppose, it came from God. Should you dare to put out your hand and thrust it away? Now such a thread has come from God to you this afternoon. You do not feel, you say, any interest in religion. But you are coming here this afternoon. God has fastened one little thread upon you all. It is very weak and frail, and you can easily brush it a way. But will you do so ? No; welcome it, and it will enlarge and strengthen itself untill it becomes a golden thread, to bind you forever to a God of love. ” Sawdust Brandy. We are sorry to learn a German chemist has succeeded in making a first-rate brandy out of sawdust. We are a friend of the temperance movement, and we want it to succed, but what chance will it have when a man can take a rip saw and go out and get drunk with a fence rail? What is the use of a prohibitory liquor law if a man is able to make brandy smashes out of the shingles on his roof, or if ’he can get delirium tremens by drinking the legs of his kitchen chairs? You may shut an inebriate out of a gin shop, and keep him away from the tavern, but if he can become uproarious on boiled sawdust and dessicated window-sills, an effort at reform must necessarily be a failure. Now, will somebody gently kill that German chemist before he gets any farther in this busi ness?— Exchange. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE I. O. G. T. TEMPERANCE STATISTICS. BY SAMVEL C. EOBINSON. NO.

E. W. YTAF.KEX, Pastor First Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga. Preached on the Eighth Anniversary Atlanta Lodge -Vo. 1,1.O.G.T., Oct, 31. Having considered the three popular argu ments in favor of the use of wine, I propose briefly to present some scriptural facts which stand out in the history of the past to warn us of the evils that lie imbedded in the wine-cup. 1. When Noah became a husbandman, he planted a vineyard, and “he drank of the wine and was drunken.” The sad results which fol lowed his debauch are matters of history in God’s revelation. A son with his posterity were cursed with servitude, infirmity and vassalage, for gen erations upon generations, if not in perpetuity. Inferiority, mentally, morally and socially, was stamped upon them forever. The efforts to rid them of this divine curse, made by themselves and their mistaken friends, have entailed upon the world wars, deaths, widowhood, orphanage, bankruptcy, and evils of untold magnitude and dollars in all incorporated towns, and one hun- I panarupicj, dred dollars outside of anv incorporation in theKfc?™ 1116 ^ 1 ?' /°r thlr ‘- v - fiv ® , centuries have incorporation counties of Burke, Jefferson and Washington; and the consent of two-thirds of the grown men and women must accompany the application within a given area whan liquors are to be sold, the area to be surveyed at the cost of the person applying for license. This act was, so amended as to include the counties of Baldwin, Jasper, j Laurens. Heard, Sumter, Harris, Talbot, Doug las, Chattahoochee, Troup, Mitchell, Crawford, Johnson, Echols, Pulaski, Dodge, Terrell, Eman uel, Lee, Houston, Pike, Monroe, Thomas, De catur, Lowndes, Butts, Milton and Camden, and the law is now in force in all the above-named counties. In order to obtain a license, the ap plicant must have the consent of two-thirds of the freeholders within three miles of the place where he proposes to sell. An act to submit the question to the legal voters of each corporation or militia district in Butts county for a license to sell less than one gallon. An act prohibiting the sale of liquors within three miles of Indian Creek church, Bersheba church, and the Methodist church near Locust Grove, in Henry county, and to apply to Shiloh Camp Ground, in Carroll county. 1 An act prohibiting the sale of liquors in the llu4 district of Chattahoochee county. An act prohibitihg the sale of liquors within two miles of Harmony Grove, in Jackson county. Also, the town of Canton and Woodstock Acad emy, in Cherokee county. An act prohibiting the sale of any kind of liquors within two miles of the town of Acworth, in Cobb county. An act prohibiting the sale of all intoxicants within three miles of the town of Powder Springs, in Cobb county. An act prohibiting the sale of all liquors within three miles of Trion Factory’, in Chattooga county, was so amended as to apply to Roswell Factory, the Empire Cotton Mills, and the Willeo Cotton Mills, in Cobb county, and the Laurel Hill Mills, of Milton county. Also Bethel church and the Kaolin pottery and mills, in Baldwin county. An act prohibiting the sale of liquors within three-fourths of a mile of Elam church or Turin i into an abode for the Academy, in Coweta county. An act prohibiting the sale of liquors within three miles of the Rising Fawn Iron Company’s works, in Dade county. An act prohibiting the sale of liquors within one mile of the court-house in Dawsonville, Daw son county. An act prohibiting the sale of liquors within two miles of Burney’s Mills, in Clay county.

An act to regulate the sale of liquors in the counties of Floyd, Dade, Polk, Chattooga, Whit field, Walker, Hall, Bartow, Gordon, Coweta, Harralson, Carroll, Murray and Paulding, and also the town of Palmetto, in the county of Camp bell. [This act is known as the local option act, and gives the residents of each militia district or in corporation the right to vote, under the law, against the retail of liquors, or rather in favor of restricting the sale in quantities less than one gallon. There has been several elections under this law for or against “restrictions.” In an other issue, the result of every election held will be published, and the vote given. Also, the number of bar-rooms closed by such elections.] An act to suppress and prohibit the sale of liquors within two miles of the town of Franklin, in Heard county. An act to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors, alcoholic bitters or medicated liquors within two miles of East Point, in Fulton county. An act to prohibit the retail of spirituous liquors within the corporate limits of the town of Lawrenceville, in Gwinnett county, or within a radius of three miles of the court-house of said county. An act to prohibit the sale of liquors within two miles of Shiloh church, in Gwinnett county. An act to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors or intoxicating bitters within a radius of three The dreadful calamities of Noah’s wine-drinking scourged our world, and it will continue to do so till the glorious millenium day shall lift us above the curse of sin. 2. The revolting scenes that occurred from the wine-drinking of Lot, entailed upon the world two of the most wicked, idolatrous na tions that ever lived—making war with peaceful peoples and tribes and precipitating untold evils upon humanity. that, too, at a time when the whole State was al most in a condition of bankruptcy. There are in Atlanta seventy-two licensed re tail liquor shops, besides several in operation without legal permission. These seventy-two pay into the city treasury the sum of twenty-one thousand six hundred dollars for permission to sell ardent spirits to our citizens. Suppose each one of these bar-rooms to take in at its counters daily the moderate sum of fifteen dollars for drinks. That Would be one thousand and eighty dollars a day paid by the people of Atlanta for ardent spirits. This would amount to three hundred and thirty-eight thousand and forty dollars. The city pays out thirty-three thou sand dollars annually for its police force. Under present circumstances, a less force would not secure the safety of the city. But suppose no liquor was sold or drank in Atlanta, would not half the police force now demanded be suffi cient? In that event, seventeen thousand five hundred dollars would be saved to the city, which it now costs us to keep up the liquor traffic. I am unable to present further figures as to the cost to our city of this injurious trade, but these are sufficiently startling. Hear! the peo ple of Atlanta pay out annually, at the very low est calculation, three hundred and thirty-eight thousand and forty dollars for that which gives nothing in return but poverty, sorrow, crime and death ! And yet there is no protest against this mammoth evil, no common effort to arrest this tide of ruin, but, on the contrary, there is strong opposition to the common schools, where 3. When Absalom made a feast and invited all i more than three thousand children are being his brethren, the one who drank to intoxication was slain. It may have been his habit to become drunken on wine, for Absolom said to his ser vants: “Mark ye, now, when Ammon’s heart is merry with wine.” At that period he was to give the signal, and his brother was to be slain. Oh, what ruin followed! Peace never came to the king’s heart again. Long was the nation lashed by the wildest political commotion, and once plunged into a dreadful and sanguinary civil war, which resulted in the death of the fratricide, the bereavement of the king and in great national distress. “Behold what a great matter a little fire kindleth.” If it brings woe, and sorrow, and contentions, and babbling, and wounds without cause, and redness of eyes to those who tarry long at the wine and who go to seek mixed wine, would it not be wise in us to heed the inspired warning, “Look not upon the wine when it is red, and when it giveth in its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright, for at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder ?” II.—Strong drink is raging. If we could impersonate strong drink, we would describe him in the forcible language di vinely applied to the arch fiend and say: “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, Stroiuj educated at a cost of only forty thousand dollars. We will pay out three hundred and thirty-eight thousand and forty dollars as a curse and blight upon our population without a word of com plaint, but are unwilling, for the intellectual el evation of our own children, to pay the amount necessary to sustain our teachers in their inval uable labor. What Ugly Toes Women Hare. Canova chose five hundred beautiful women, from whom he made his Venus, and among them all could not find a decent set of toes. If he lived nowadays what luck would he have under the dainty little buttoned boots, with their sharp pointed heels ? As soon as the helpless baby can put its foot on the ground, and before it can complain in words, shoes are put on it by which the width of the toes is contracted fully half an inch; and usually a stiff counter is ordered in the heel, with some vague idea of “strengthening the ankle.” From that time, no matter how watch ful or sensible its parents may be in other re spects, these instruments of torture always con stitute a part of its dress. The toes are forced into a narrower space, year by vear, “to giveaf bouer, i>e vigiium, ueuause yuurauversury, oitutuj i , , , . y» , •/ .V ’ , ° , Drink, as a raging lion goeth about seeking whom i S ood B^pe to the foot until they overlap and - a -- s. - • - • ° ■ •• knot and knob themselves over with incipient corns and bunions.

Has the fair Eden of the heart been transformed into a pandemonium ? Has the calm reign of peace been supplanted by the storms of passion, and the throne of reason been usurped by a legion of demons ? Has he who was created in the likeness of his Maker been degraded into the similitude of a beast. Let us look calmly at a few facts and under stand the manner of government of this mighty Moloch. He has five hundred and sixty thou sand persons engaged in the manufacture and sale of ardent spirits in the United States. These receive in one year the enormous amount of two hundred and seventy million dollars, or about three-fourths of a million per day. Such is the amount of money the American people pay directly for the gratification of an appetite, the indulgence of which leads to woe and death and hell. Strong drink commands an army of five millions six hundred thousand, who wor ship and pay tribute at his altars. Five millions of these are moderate drinkers—men of means and influence, and many of them gentlemen of moral character and habits. These in the main furnish the revenue which supports the vast ma chinery of death and desolation which rests like a pall upon our national virtue and prosperity. If these moderate drinkers could be induced to deny themselves the luxury of drinking, the bar-rooms would soon be closed, and the poor drunkards would be sobered and returned to their homes to bless their happy wives and chil dren. Six hundred thousand of this mighty army are drunkards, one hundred and fifty thousand of whom die annually, and, according to the word of God, are sent to the place pre pared for the devil and his angels, for “no drunkard can inherit the kingdom of heaven.” The places of these one hundred and fifty thou sand must be supplied from the ranks of moder ate drinkers. So that one hundred and fifty thousand citizens of the United States are made drunkards every year. Would an enemy in any other form be permitted to destroy so many noble men every year, as this does? Would tion of the caif muscles is hindered and the elas tic carriage of the whole foot is stiffened at the earliest and most tender period of its growth. The results are a total lack of elasticity in the step and carriage, and a foot inevitably distorted. American women are noted for their cramped and mincing walk. Southern children are more fortunate in this matter than those in the North, as it is customary, even in the wealthiest classes, to let their feet go uncovered until the age of six. Mothers in the North are not wholly to blame, however, as the climate requires that the feet shall be covered, and it is almost impossible, even in New York, to find shoes properly made for children unless a last is ordered for the foot. As a hew last would be required every month or so, very few parents are able to give the watch fulness and money required; but if the proper shape were insisted upon by those buying shoes, dealers would quickly furnish them. miles from the Methodist church in Powillton. ! there not a cry go up all over this land for na- Also, of Reynold’s Chapel, all in Hancock j tional protection against the invader, and for county. | revenge for the depredations of the past?

When it is said of a man, “He drinks,” and it can be proven, what store wants him for a clerk? What church wants him for a member? Who will trust him ? What dying man will appoint him his executor ? He may have been forty years in building his reputation—it goes down. Let ters of recommendation, the backing of business firms, a brilliant ancestry cannot save him. The world shies off. Why? It is whispered all through the community, “Hedrinks, hedrinks!” When a young man loses his reputation for sobri ety, he might as well be at the bottom of the sea. There are young men here who have their good name as their only capital. Your father has started you out in city life. He could only give you an education. He started you, however, un der Christian influences. You have come to the city. You are now achieving your own fortune, under God, by your own right arm. Now look out, young man, that there is no doubt of your sobriety. Do not create any suspicion by going in and out of liquor establishments, or by any odor of your breath, or by any glare of your eyes, or by any unnatural flush of your cheek. You cannot afford to do it, for your’good name is your only capital, and when that is blasted with the reputation of taking strong drink, all is gone.— Brick Pomeroy's Democrat.
