Foailracfiiiff and Expand ing*. The Danbury News says, John Henry was with Julia the other evening, when she said : “John, what is all this talk about contracting and expanding tlie cur rency, and which do you believe iu anyhow ?” “ Well, ray sweet, that depends on circumstances. In some cases I should advocate contraction, and in others, expansion. It is according to circumstances.” “ But what is the difference be tween the two, and how do circum stances affect them ? That’s what I wan’t to know, John.” “ Oh, that’s easily explained. For ; instance, when we are alone we sit on one chair, don’t we “ Yes.” “ Well, that’s contraction. But when we hear your pa and raa com ing we get or. two chairs, don’t we?” “ I should say we did.” “ Well, my love that is expansion. So you see, it’s according to circum stances.” “John,” said she softly, burrow ing under his ear, “ we are con tracting now, ain’t we ?” “Just so,” said John with in creased cheerfulness. A circuit rider one day met a man praying in the road. Tins exhibi tion of piety was not only gratify ing, but aroused curiosity and be got inquiry. “ What are you doing?” asked the preacher. “ Praying for my enemy,” said the man. “ Praying for your enemy !” the astonished divine replied ; “ what are you doing that for ?” “Don’t the bible say if you pray for your enemy, you can heap coals of fire on his head ?” “ Yes.” “ Then,” said the man, “ I want to burn this d—n rascal up.” Tableaux.

An Ohio couple quarreled, and in the heat of the moment the man packed his carpetbag and left her forever. A short distance from the house he discovered that he had forgotten his tobacco-box.

Then, having filled his mouth with the weed, he looked upon his wife with molified eyes, and iu another moment both were protesting that they had only been in fun anyhow.

The raist of the morning still hung heavily on the mountain top, and above the village of Redcliff, but the roads which led towards it were crowded with the varied popu lation of the surrounding country, from far and near. At Alesbury the shops were closed, the hammer of the blacksmith lay upon its anvil, not a wagon was to be seen in the streets, anti even the bar of the tav ern was locked, and the key gone with the proprietor toward the cliff, as a token of an important era which was to be without a parallel in the annals of the place. .And save here and there a solitary head look ing through a broken pane, in some closed up house, with an air of sad disappointment, or the cries of a nursling was beard, betokening that in the general flight it had been left in unskillful hands,or may hap here and there a solitary, rag ged and ill-naturd dog, either seem ing or half appeased by the privi lege of a holiday grauted on a con. dition ot staying at home, the whole village presented a picture of deser tion and silence, that had forever been unknown before. But in proportion as you drew near the ponaervu* cliff-’, ; n the midst of which the little town of RedclifFe was situated, you mingled again in the thick bustle and mo tion of the world of men, and wo men, and boys and horses, and dogs, and all living, moving and creeping things that inhabit the wild district of Pennsylvania. The village was crowded to over flowing long before the sun had gained a sufficient altitude to throw its rays upon the deep valley io which it lay. There the bar of the inn was crowded and the fumes of tobacco and whiskey, the jingling of small change, and the perpetual clamor of the throng, was sufficient to rack a brain of common flexibili ty. In the streets there was the greeting of old and long parted Jac quainlances; the bartering of horses; the settling of old accounts; the buffoonery of half-intoxicated men; the clatter of women; the crying and hallooing of children and the barking and quarrlelling ot stran gers’ dogs. To look upon the scene, to mingle with the crowd, to listen to the conversation, or to sur vey the counternauoes of the as sembled multitude, would scarcely lead to a satisfactory solution of the cause for which this mass of hete rogenious existence was congrega ted. Within the walls of the old stone jail, at the foot of the mountain, a different scene had been that morn ing witnessed. There chained to a stake in tho miserable dungeon, damp and scarcely 7 illuminated by one ray of light, now lay the ema ciated form of one whose final doom seemed near at hand. A few hours before his wife and little daughter had travelled one hundred miles to meet him on the threshold of the grave—they met, and from that gloomy vault the song of praise ascended with the ascending sun and the jailor, as he listened to the melodious voices of the three persons whom he looked upon as the most desolate of all ia the wide world, blended sweetly together, and chanting the beautiful hymn— '•lt is the Lord, should I distrust, Or contradict his will ?” almost doubted the evidence of his senses, and stood fixed in astonish ment, at the massive door. Could these he the voices of a murderer, and a murderer’s wife and child. The brief and to be final inters view had passed, however—these unfortunate ones had loudly com mended each other to the keeping of their heavenly parent—he, to face the assembled multitude on the scaffold, and they, as they 7 said, to return by journeys to their sorrow ful home; the convict worn out with sickness and watching now slept. llis name was John Creel, his place of residence said to be in ginia. He had been taken up whilj travelling from the home, and tried and cor A the country town somefl t tut, for the traveller, who puny 1 !'■ iin the r! ai i ie> i J—jgtigfßKSHMH i i , "n- g dra <• throat cu^AHUwg| U■-ted llis nnHfjr' the deed ol:e whilejMr ' to be hung, and was removed to the old stone jail at Redcliff for security, the county prison being deemed unsafe. This was the day the exe cution was to take place—the scaf fold was already erected—the crowd pressed round the building, and frequently the cries of “bring out the murderer,” were beard. The sun at last told tho hour of eleveu, and there could bo no more delay—the convict’s cell was enter ed by the officers in attendance, who roused him with the infoma tion that all was ready without, and bid him hasten to his execution they laid hands upon him and pin ioned him tight, while he looked up toward heaven in astonishment, as one new borne, and only said, “the dream, the dream.” “And what of the dream, prisoner ? ” said the sheriff. “You would do me a great kindness if you would dream your self and me out of this accursed scrape.” “I dreamed,” replied the convict, “that while you read the death warrant to me ou the scaffold, a man cam# through tho crowd, and stood before us in a gray dress, with a white hat and whiskers, and that a bird fluttered over him, and sung distinctly— ‘this is Lowis, the murderer of the traveller.’ ” The officers and jailor held a short consultation which ended in a determination to look sharp after the man in gray, with the white hat —accompanied with many hints ot resignation by the prisoner, and the possibility of his innocence be ing asserted by 7 a supernatural agen cy—the prison-doors were cleared, and Creel, pale and feeble, with a hymn hook in his hand, and a mien of all meekness aud humility, was seen tottering from the prison to the scaffold. lie had no sooner ascen ded it than his eyes began to wan der over tho vast concourse of people around him, with a scrutiny that seemed like faith in dreams—and while the sheriff read the warrant, the convict’s anxiety appeared to increase—he looked and then raised his hands arid eyes a moment to wards the clear sky, as if breathing a last ejaculation, when, lo ! as he resumes his first position, the very person lie described, stood within six feet of the ladder ! The priso ner’s eye caught the sight, and flashed with fire while he called out, “there is Lewis, the murderer of the traveller,” and the jailor at the samo moment seized the stran ger by the collar. At first he at tempted, to escape, but being, se cured, and takeu before the magis trates, he confessed the deed, de tailed all the particulars, delivered up part of of the money, informed where another part was hidden, and was fully committed for trial —while Creel was turned loose, aud hastened like a man out of his senses, from the scaffold. Three days had elapsed—Creel had vanished immediately after his liberation when the pretended Lewis astonished and confounded the magistrates by declaring Creol to be her husband ; that she had assumed the disguise, and per formed the whole part by his direc tion ; that he had given her the money which he had till then suc cessfully concealed about his per son ; and that the whole, from the prison to the scaffbl I scene, was a contrivance to effect his escape, which having been effeetd she was regardless of consequences. Noth ing could be done with her ; she was again set at liberty, and nei ther she nor her husband were heard of again. Two little girls were heard dis cussing the war in the East, one contending that Turkey would win, and the other asserting that Russia would be the victor. At last one settled the question. “Iknow,” said she, “tlj .t Turkey will win. My pa is a Jlii my ma a Turk.— 'Uggstea. JFraßpfc’ night, and ma garment appears Mkk soilin'* than do Tlie Capitol Question. There can be hut little doubt but what the Constitution will he rati fied or ought to be. But the Cap itol question will be the important question—Atlanta or Milledgeville. Mow r if Georgia was out of debt, and the people in a prosjlserous condition, and the taxes were light, it would then be merely a choice w’ith tlie people whether Atlanta, Milledge* ville or Macon should be the seat of Government. But when Geor gia owes a debt of twelve million of dollars, and new bonds have been issued to pay the interest on that debt, now' mark it, people of Geor gia, that not one cent of the monies arising from the enormous taxes you are now paying every year has been paid toward that debt, or to the interest accruing on that debt; it shows plainly that the high taxes that you are called on annually to pay is not paying tho indebtedness of Georgia, hut the debt is increas ing on you day by day, aud year by year, and you will yet bo compelled to pay r every dollar of it. The heavy taxes you are now paying is only paying the current expenses of the State aud your counties—that’s pretty heavy on the tax payers who earn their living by the sweat of their brow. Well, if that be true and it is said to be so by those who ought to know, would it not be the bight of folly, nav, reckless extravi gance on the part of the people,tax ed and in debt as they are, to vote for the capital to be located at At lanta, when it would cost the Stale one million of dollars to build the capitol there, and especially when we have a capitol, and Governor’s mansion, and all other necessary buildings to carry on the govern ment of Georgia in Milledgeville already 7 paid for. Now, if Atlanta wants tho capital, let her citizens do as the people of Montgomery, Ala., did when the removal of the capital from Tuscaloosa was agi tated, build a capitol suited to the purposes needed, and donate it to the State, and that settles the ques tion forver. But for Georgia to build anew capitol at Atlanta at a cost of one million of dollars, when there is one at Milledgeville, is a thing too preposterous to think of. What would he thought of a man owning a comfortable house that answered all tho wants and conven iences of liis family, and was large ly in debt, and took all his income to pay the interest on what he was owing, and for pride’s sake conclude to build anew house ou a more beautiful site, at an expense of some ten or twelve thousand dollars ? Why, aP sensible and reflecting men would think he was acting very unwisely; and if it did not break him, it would cause him to work harder for many more years to pay his debts. And it is just so with the people of Georgia, who are oppressively taxed every year, and the enormous taxes they are paying do not even pay the inter est on the State debt. Well, under such circumstances would it not be unwise for the people to vote for a new capitol, which would be voting themselves an additional debt of one million of dollars they now owe, and are horn down with taxation, and will he for years to come. Far users, we say, look to your interests —this debt comes out of your pock ets. Atlanta will not help you or your children to pay one cent of it, so if you are prudent and wise you will vote for our old capitol at Mil ledgeville, and save an additional debt for us of one million of dollars; and as good laws can he made at Milledgeville, and more economy in legislation, as will be done at Atlan ta. At any rate let us go hack to Milledgeville until our debts are paid, and when paid, should the people see proper to build anew capital, why, let it be done, when it will not oppress us by heavy taxa tion, as it will now do: and, like a wise man, when his debts are paid, he can afford to .build anew and handsome mansion for show, con venience and comfort, but whilst in debt, he wise, stick to the old dwell- long sheltered him P i ... njieat, cold and . ’ .'i 1 - : .;Wirse shows wi- prejudices the capi- Bille.

So let the people follow their example, and begin re trenching by going hack and occu pying the capitol at Milledgeville that we already have, and save the State un additional debt of one mil lion of dollars.— Rome Courier. Occasional Correspond* dice. Quitman Cos., Oct., 1877. Mr. Editor : My long silence may be miscon strued and a full explanation may he necessary. It was not a matter of choice, at all, on my part, that I stopped writing, hut you see Bitlie (my wife) just laid the law down to me that it had to he done, aud when she puts her foot on anything, noth ing, short of a cyclone, can upset hor. She attributes all our dry weather this year to my 7 writing these letters for the Appeal. She says she was looking for something to happen as soon as she found it out, and you might as well try to convince her that the earth is round or that there isu’t a sure enough man in the moon, as that the dry weather wasn't a direct providential punishment ou me for telling folks all about her and the children. She firmly 7 believes that all our bad luck comes of my bad management, aud you can’t convince her hut that I was the cause of the few negroes we had being set free. I went down to Georgetown one day for the pur pose of writing to you, and went in to see Eugene about it, but he sent me back to the office, where he said Gibson would give me writing ma terial, but when I told all the cir cumstances to John, he said, “Scrog gins you’re a fool. Why don’t you assert your natural rights and he boss of your own premises? that’s the way I do—l do as I pleaso at home and none dare to molest, or make me afraid.” Said I “Gip, if I wasn’t a married man and didn’t know how it was myself I might believe it; but the only time you, or any other married man does as he pleases, is when his wife is from home, or he is somewhere else him self.” Now, Mr. Editor, aint I right? Well, I went to town not long ago, and got a copy of the new constitution. When I got home I quietly took a scat to study the thing, hut I hadn’t got through the bill of rights, when Bithe (my wife) wanted to know what it was. Said I “Bithe its the new constitution for the people of Georgia.” “The peo pie of Georgia!” said she; “you had better a thundring sight he a having something done for my poor broke down constitution. But no, that’s just tlie way; you’ll do and do for other folks, but poor me, I can go on with my same old broke down constitution til! I can’t go, and there is nothing done for me.” Said I, “Bithe you don’t compre hend the situation. Momentous is sues are involved in the present cri sis. The liberties, and to some ex tent, the ultimate destinies of the people of the grand old empire State of tho South hinge upon the adoption or rejection of this instru ment that I hold in my hand. The barbarous hands of vampires have prayed upon our substance uutil we may ho likened to the lean kine of Pharaoh’s dream. The peace, hap pineas and future welfare of these little Scrogginses’ that I nightly fondle upon my parental knee do pend upon the decision of the citi zens of our noble old commonwealth in regard to this magnificent and in comparable hill of rights, ho recently spread before them by the purest, noblest and greatest band of patri ots that ever devised fundamental law for a free people ! and shall I, one of the masterpieces of God’s creations, made only a little lower than the angels, endowed with wit. dom from on High—l say shall I sit quiet and not lift lip my voice to plead with the common rabble to stand up to the lick log, salt or no salt ? “Tlie lark is up to meet the sun, Tbe bee is ou the wing ; The ant, its labors has begun.” And must I be a drone in this busy hive of human beings? Shall not my roaring be heard from the mountain to the seaboard, entreat ing the learned and instructing the unlearned to come square up to the rack, fodder or no fodder?” “Hold up Scroggins,” said Bithe (my wife). “I believe the old fool has gone crazy—what in thunderation ails you ? are you drunk ? are you gwine to the sylum ? have you lost the little sense j 7 ou did have ?go bathe your feet iu some warm mus- NO. 43 tard water and go to bed, this min ute, or you’ll get acquainted witji tbe fire tongs iu less than a minute.** Mr. Editor I retired is disgust, and, and havn’t felt lika making an other speech on the subject from that day to this. ••Oh ! ever thus from childhoods hour I’ve seen my fondest hopes decay ; I never loved a tree or flower, But ’twss the first to fade away. I never had a piece ol toast All buttered over, broad and wide, But fell upon tbe sanded floor, And always ou the buttered ride.” * Yours truly, Epimanondas Sckoggiws. How tlie Apostles Died. 1.
