A Snake btory.
Cul>l>oiloe TVilliams, n son of
Mr. Jerry Williams who lives a
few miles east of town, tells us
the following: He found a honey
tree a few days ago, and cutting
it down got from it a beautiful
supply of honey, the tree having
a hollow about 15 I vet long and C
inches in diameter and well filled
with the sweet stuff from top to
the bottom of the hollow. But
honey was not all that the tree
contained. After it ail had been
g ifiien-d Ciildtedge noticed a hol
low limb on i he tree and thinking 1
there might lie honey in it cu;
in il to see, Instead of honer,
however, lie found a ynake about
4 feel firmly imbedded in the limb
and unable to move. The snake
was of the kind known as a chick
en snake. It is supposed that he
crawled into the hollow during!
the winter and the sap, rising in i
the early spring closed it up so
that he was unable to get out.
This snake story is a fact and
we refer any who doubt it to our j
young friend who told it to us.— '

LITTLE MARTHA.
All young folks generally like
to hear about good children, and
I am now goin^to tcii yon about
a child named Martha. Site was
the only daughter of a grocer who
lived in the middleofn large town;
and, as you may think, her father
and mother were very proud of
her. Martha. I am sorry to say,
was not always a good girl, for at
the age of three years, from play
ing with rude and noisy children,
she became rude and noisy too.
and sometimes grieved her parents
very much. Martha's mother was
very kind, and did not like to
punish her dear girl, and so she
would say, ‘"Don’t, roy love; don't
be so rude; it does nut look well.’'
But Martha, like many other peo
pie, thought site knew best. She
would go out into the slreei, in
spite of commands to the contra
ry. Little children should learn
to do as they arc told, and howev
er wise they may think them
selves, they should always mind
when spoken to. It is not intend
cd to keep you from playing and
enjoying yourselves; but only at-
proper times, anil with proper per
sons. But the mischief did not
stop here; for besides getting
rude, Martha began to quarrel,
and even to use bad words ami to
break the Sabbath. But things
did not long remain in this slate;
for Her fattier threatened her with
punishment if she left the house
without leave. Martha did not
much like the thought of this, and
promised her father if he would
forgive her for the past, she would
try to behave better. I am glad
to say. in this instance Martha
kept her word. She thought up
on her conduct, and saw its evil.
She would often sit iqioD a stool
at her mother's feet and learn
such pretty hymns, and her moth
er would talk to her so lovingly,
that under God's blessing, she he
came quite a different child, and
she would often say, “Mother's
only little girl should not be a
naughty girl.” She would, after
this, ofLen a^ her eldest brother
to read to her about heaven, and
about hell, and Jesus Christ, and
the more she heard of saered things
the more she wanted to hear, so
lovely did they appear in her
sight. Before this, Martha used
to be proud and-vain, anil pleased
w hen anyone praised her beauty.
But one day. when a lady said she
was a pretty little girl, she whis
pered to her and said, "I d rather
be a good girl.” Martha was now
five years old, and much improv
ed. She would talk of the glory
ot heaven, the kindness of God,
ami many other subjects’, and was
learning to read very well. When
silling on her mother's knee one
day, she said, “Mother, I have
been thinking, suppose I should
have to die soon?” “Well, my
dear,” said her mother. “I hope
you will go to heaven.” “I hope
so, too,” replied Martha, “but 1
am afraid not.” “And why are
you afraid?” replied her mother.
“Because I have sinned; I hare
sinned against Jesus Christ, and
greatly offended him.” “But we
know that though you have offend
ed Him, yet Ho is rich' in mercy
to all who call on Him.’’ “Will He
forgive me, do you think?” “Yes,
if you ask Him He will; if you re-
ally feel that you have a wicked
heart, if you flee for refuge to the
Savior, He will answer and par
don.” “What shall I say, mother?''
“What do you say when yon want
me to give you anything?” “‘If
you please, will you give me what
1 want?’ ” “And what do you want
God to give you?” “A new heart.”
■Wliat should you say then?” “ ‘O
Lord, Jesus.gire me a new heart.’ ”
••That is right; kneel down, and
say in faith, -God, he merciful to
me a sinner.’ Ami, though yeu
arc but a babe, be will not refuse
your prayer.’’ Martha's mother
was pleased to hear her little one
talk in this manner. Site prayed
that God wouhl gtve her eternal
life forevermore. Some lime after
ihi^ the eldest boy in the fsmily,
Samuel, caught the measles and
had them so severely that be was
thought likely to die. But God
was pleased to raise him up ami
give him health agaio. When
When Martha knew that tiie dis
ease was catching, she. felt alarm
ed, and said, “if I should die.
whither should I go?” and she be
gan in earnest, iu her poor way.
to pray, "Lord, prepare me for
death.” Well, several days pass
ed and little Martha's head began
to ache, and she laid herself down
in her bed, and her eyes grew so
weak she could hardly bear to look
at the light. By aud by poor
Martha's head grew worse, and
she was wliat we call delirious;
that is, she kcew not what she did
or said, and sometimes talked very
foolishly. But when she came to
herself again, she said, “I am one
of Jesus Christ’s lambs; God loves
, ine and I love God, and shall soon
be with Him, and be a shining
angel.” “But,” replied Samuel,
whom God had cured, “I aui
' spared, and |ierhaps you may he
too; which should you like best,
Martha?” “I should like it to be
just which way God pleases,"’ an
swered the dear little girl. And
as Martha continued to grow
worse, the doctor sent a large blis
ter to be applied to, her breast;
when she saw it she asked if il
would pain her, and on being told
that il would, she at first refused
to have il on. Her nurse told her
tliis wns wrong; tor if we do not
use the meaDg we cannot expect
to get well. qp hearing this, with
Iter own dear little hands she un
tied the strings of her Digblgown,
and %ai<l sweetly: “Very well,
nurse, I will have it on, and you
may hold my hands too, and then
I shall not touch it.” “No, my
Uve,” replied the’ kind nurse.
“There ia no need for that; God
will give you patience if you ask
Him,’’ and indeed there was- no
need, for after this die was not
heard to complain. But Martha
grew still worse, and though sev
eral leeches were applied and an
other blister, she got no belter.—
She suffered greatly, but was very
patient, and sometimes when she
fell so ill she could not help cry
ing, she would meekly say, “Nurse
I hope God will not be angry with
me for crying.” One day she said
to her father, “How good God is!
stwne poor children cannot have
such nice things as 1;” and at
another time, after she had been
lying very quiet for some hours,
she began to sing, and although
it did not aound like her usual
singing, yet it showed how happy
and contented she was. “I thank
you,” she wdnld say. when any
thing was given her, and it was a
pleasure to wait upon tier. One
evening her mother asked her what
she was thinking of, and she di
reclly answered: “About seeing
God. 1 will see God before yon
will, mother, and Timothy and
I’aul, and all the good men you
have told me about; and shall
never sin any more.” The next
day when the doctor went to ser
her he shook his head; on observ
ing this, she said, when he was
gone, “Mother, what made the
doctor shake his head?” Her mo
iher was standinghy the bedside
weeping, and she said, as she
stooped down and clasped her
child in her trembling arms, “Oh,
my dearest gul, il is because he
knows you must soon die.” “And
be laid in the cold ground,” said
the dying babe.” “Yes,” replied
the weeping mother. “Well, but
it is only my body. I, my soul,
shall go to heaven,” said Martha;
and in this way she w ould try to
comfort her mourning friends.—
But Martha’s cheeks began to look
more and more ghastly, and her
lips turned-rosy red, were very
parched, and she began to sink
very fast. As her kind brother,
Samuel, was sitting and watching [
iier, he though he saw her fea
tures change, and ran to call bis
mother. When she come, she look
the gasping child in her arms, and
in a few minutes il was all over.
Martha did not struggle nor groan,
but breathed a long sigh and her
spirit, I trust arose on high to the
dimes of bliss. Farewell, little
Martha, farewell, for the gates of
joy have received lliee. L. C.

A good remedy lor an old baeb •
or a young man either when they
get sick, is to get the young ladies
to fix them nice boquclsof flowers
{ and send them, we know whereof
j we speak. We called on a certain
: young man of this town who was
| quite sick and no joke about it.
j The next time we went he was j
i much better and we wondered
! why he should improve so rapidly
in such a short lime. We soon
scented the flowers and noticed a
sweet smile playing on his not
long -since frowny face. Il is an
excellent remedy, young men it
you want to fiud out how much
the young ladies think of you, gel

Mr. M. M. Mewbnrn has been
keeping the common black honey
hee for the past fifteen years, and
no others. Recently a colony ofj
bcc^swarmcd out of one of bis i
gums and he succeeded in hiving i
them. They proved to be the
striped Italian bees. Now the
question is how did they happen
in one of his gums. No one has
Italian bees nearer his place than
three miles.—Hartwell Suit.
Intoxicated Tnrkejg.
East Macon has a very strong
temperance lodge, and it is doing
a vast amount ol good work for
1 he cause. One reason for its
success lies in the fact that the
officers never lose an opportunity
to work upon the weak wherever
found and induce them by moral
suasion to abstain from tbe drink
that brings so many to ruin.
Sergeant Sobers is a resident of
East Macon, and while a good
friend of the lodge, tells this on
one of the officers who occupies
one of the high chairs:
It seems that this officer went
out into the country a short time
ago to make a visit, and the good
lady of the house at which lie stop*
[»ed offered him among other
things a glass of very fine brandy
cherries of her own brandying.
Tile officer felt called upon to de
liver a sort ot temperance lecture,
and finally, as be pointed out the
evils of intemperance, waxed
quite eloqnent. He pointed out
to the good housewife how the
young are led astray by beginning
with such inviting and insidious
things as brandy cherries, ami in
other wavs sent pangs into her
lender heart.
After the temperance man's de
parlure, she went to her well filled
pantry and took therefrom twenty-
one jars of brandy cherries and
emptied them out at the window.
Now it happened that the lady’s
flock of turkeys, some twenty-five
or more, saw the cherries rolling
about on the ground, and suppos
ing il was some new kind of pat
ent food, went to work on them,
and suiting their tastes cxaclly
aoon cleared up the lot. In a
short while there were apparently
dead turkeys ali over the yard.
The lady saw them and supposed
that some plague had enfladed
their ranks. Being of an econom
ical turn she had every one of
them plucked so as to save tbe
feathers and then had the bodies
carted oft'.
Imagiae the lady's horror when
evening came to see the flock of
turkeys, nude and dejected, com
ing up to the house! They had
sobered up to find themselves
picked clean, aud to save their
lives they didn't know when or
how it happened.
Being warm weather the lady
has bo|>es of saving the turkeys,
but the next tein|>erance man who
calls at her house may ex|icet to
leave with bis head picked as
clean as the turkeys.—Macon
Telegraph.
few days ago a negro was
pointed out to the writer, who
was sent to the penitentiary for
ten years from Hart county for
burglary. He set red out his
time, and when he reached Madi
son county on his way home, be
broke into a smokehouse ami
stole some meat. He was sent
back to the penitentiary for three
years. After serving two terms be
got home after an altsence of thir
teen rears.—Hartwell Sun.

or thirty thousand people, without
the slightest prolecliun but his
own sword. The walls of the city
bad two nights before beenmyste
rionsly decorated with posters an
nouncing that tiie end of Alexan
tier's reign had come; that he had
been tried and found wanting;
that the “committee” had declar
ed his death for refusing to give
the people a constitutional gov
ernment. Many arrests had been
made by the police, who, with all
their numbers and acumen, bad
not been able to delect tbe myste
rious billposters, and tberc was
great excitement throughout the
entire city.
When the morning of the day
on which the czar's death was to
occur arrived, he announced bis
intention of attending mass at the
church of the Annunciation, with
in the walls of the Kremlin, and a
quarter of a mile or so from tbe
palace. The czarina and the oth
er members of his family implored
him to take no such risk; they
begged him to have mass sung in
the chapel of the palace, but he
declined, and even ordered that
the police guard should lie with
drawn. He said that if his time
to die had come lie was ready, but
he would uotdie like a coward in
seclusion, but he would die like a
soldier, with bis uniform on and
Ilia sword in bis band, in the
presence of l.is people, and so he
left the palace alone, clad in the
uniform of s field marshal, re
splendent with gold and silver
lace, and walked across the parade
ground to the church.
The news of bis rashness spread
quickly among the people, who
were naturally on the qui rive, ow
ing to the mysterious proclama
tion of the nihilists, and before the
mass was over the area within the
Kremlin walls was crowded with
all sorts and conditions of men,
twenty or thirty thousand in
number. After ma^s was sung,
and lie had c«uniiilled his soul to
God, the czar, with iiis glow in
his hand, left the church anil en
tered the throng, which opened to
make passaga for him, but one so
narrow that lie could touch the
bodies of those who stood on eith
er hand. No bomb was required
on such an occasion; a pistol, or
even a knife, would have done the
business, but with Lis head erect,
and bowing to those who had sa
inted him, the emperor walked
the entire distance. The crowd
was silent and almost breathless.
Every man present expected
something would occur, but tbe
only break in the czar’s walk that
morning was when be reached tbe
steps of the palace, slopped, turn
ed his fsce to the people and
spoke to them.
He said that he had been told
that he should bare trouble if he
came to Moscow; that since he
bod arrived he bad been warned
by myeteiions enemies, whose mo
tive be could not understand, that
tbe present day was to be bis last.
He bad therefore done as all men
should do who expected danger—
gone to chorcb to nek forgiveness
for bis sins and protection from
on high. That protection was not
denied him. His body, like his
soul, was in the hands of Ged t
and man bad no power to injure
him without the divine decree,
lie, therefore, feared nothing, and
believed that as long as he gov
erned the empire with wisdom he
should be allowed to live. Then,
thanking the people with hearty
words for their loyally, he bowed
and entered the palace.
There bad been silence til! then,
but as tbe czar disappeared tbe
crowd broke into a cheer that al
most reached the sky.—Chicago

Lovers of flowers, will find' •
novelty in roses at the library.. It
consists of a number of roses from
the centre of which grows buds,
some of them single and some
double. It may be properly call-
ed a double deck rose. As fast as
the first rose fades and tbe petals
drop off, the bud in the cent're is
ready to bloom. These floral
freaks were* grown in the y»?d[of
Mr. Frank M. Freeman, on Wal
nut street. Another curiosity ia
the top branches of the oak tree
that grew in Lumber City about
the spot where Messrs. Wbiddea
and Holland were killed by tbe
cyclone of March 20th, of this
year. Every vestige of bark was
stripped from the tree by the fu
rious wind. And yet another ca
riosity is a knife used by Gen.
Wimberly during tbe Revolution
ary war, and presented by bin
daughter, Mrs. Sarah' E. Jobes;
now living, at the age of 82 years.
