he quite broke down in talking

Mr. Brown was a hard man, and
loved his money hags over well,
but somewhere beneath the rough
outward erusts there was an abid
ing affection for his ehiidrcn tliat
needed Houielhj,ng like the
stirring of the soil around the

selfish lmn<ls, and give his
love a human voice. And when

lack of a little timely help, and
the pressure of a large family, was
kept with Itis nose to the perpetu

how Mary pinched and sorked,
and sal up till lute hours, and
struggled to help her family, until
in consequence of doctor's hills
and baiiics, and poor crops, John
was forced to give a mortgage on
his house, when her (the father)
might have lilted them out ot
their poverty. He might even
have given them a better house;
the oldest inhabitant could not

shackle affair had been built.
Some ancient ancestors had put
up a con pie of rooms, then added
on a few more, until, what with
patching and proppiug up, John's
inheritance was an offence to the
eye. Mr. Brown thought bitterly
of all this through the long jour
ney. Tiki late, too late seemed

tree and shrub. At last the house

One Cause of Bad Uraniuiar.
An Ohio school teacher went
over to a country district in Indi
ana to engraft a little knowledge
upon tlie youthful sprouts in that
vicinity, and one of the trustees
used grammar that the Buckeye
pedagogue was threatened with
hvsteries. After two or three
weeks lie felt that lie knew the
trustee well enough to speak to
him about it.
“Why is it,” he asked, “that
you persist in saying ‘have sa
•have came,’ knowed.’ and other
tilings equally as ungraiumatic
al?"
“Because I was teacbed that
way by my parents,” replied the
trustee.
“But. good heavens, man, you
should know better than to con
tinue murdering the English in
that style!”
“Look here, young man,” an
swered the trustee, hotly, “I’ve
got a right to murder the En
glish.”
“No you haven’t.”
“I know better. I'd like to
know if my grandfather wasn't in
the war of 12, and his father fit
in the revolution, and they both
done all they could to murder the
English, and I'll lie hanged if I'm

in their arms. They started again,
and just before reaching Ander

man, who had turned round to
get some wood, sung out, “Great

Warren, who was never knowa to

should lie consigned to confine

shame was successfully kept hid

months; hilt it would out, ami as
a faithful ehronicler of current
events we are com|iell!ed to record
it, although we do it with hesita
tion and sincere sorrow. Tlia
particulars of the affair arc as fol
lows:
Sometime last winter Kit was
in Atlanta and concluded to visit
Editor Cheeves. confined in the
Fulton county j.-iiL Armed with
a llattering letter of introduction
to the jailer from Frank Haralson,
State Librarian, K:t approached
t he prison door and was admitted.
After spending a couple of hours
in conversation with Cheeves, Kit
went to the door for the purpose
of going out. The jailer was gone
to dinner, leaving the other officer
who diil not know Kit.
“I want to get out,” said Kit,
"Ofcourse you do. There's a
good many of you fellows in the
same fix,” said the officer.
“But I’m not confined here,’*'
explained Kit.
“Ain't you though? Then whmt
do you cull il?” sarcastically re
marked the officer.
“I mean I am not a prisoner,”
“You ain't hey? Well, if bein'
shut up in a jail ain’t a prisoner f
don’t know what it is.”
“Hang il, man, do I look likes
criminal?”
“If that face of yonrs don't
hang you, it'll be because the ju
ry don't know anything about fis-
zy mahogany.”
• Ob, now, come, my man,” plea
ded Kit, “you're laboring under*
mistake. My name is Judge
Warren, from Lee county, ami I
have simply been visiting a priso
ner. Let me out.”
“I don't care what your name
is or where you come from. You’re
in there, and there you'if stay un
til the day of trial.”
It was in vain tiiat Kit pleaded
and expostulated, coaxed, and
threatened, the deputy was firm,
and expressed CTic opinion that
the jail was a most proper place
for a man nith such a villainous
looking countenance.
It was not till the jailer return
