Give him a Yon make this affidavit against the Snowball family, do you ?” asked the jus tice of ^am debasing, holding up the doc ument, ‘Yes, sah, I does. Dey put on heap a style and paint, but dey am de ordinariest family in the whole city ob Austin. Dar ain’t ten dollars in the whole family. I know because I has been dar.’ ‘You must not use such language,’ re monstrated the justice,- ‘but please state your case.” •Well sah, I was engaged to be married in de Springtime to dat ar piece of calico on de mourner’s bench, and on de day be- foah New Year’s 1 madff up my mind to tap my future fodder-in-law for a ten dol lar bill. What am de use of a future fod der-in-law ef you can’t tax him fur a ten ?’ ‘Did he give you the ten dollars?’ asked the justice. Sam Johnsing then went on to state that when he asked his future father-in- law, old man Snowball, for a ten. the latter snorted like a cow pony when he hears a brass band for the first time, but finally cooled down and said as soon as he cashed off a little check he would hand over the X. ‘I said ‘all righ’ and went off,’ ‘but seems dat after I was gone old man Snowball asked his darter, Matildy, to let him hab the funds, but nebber tole her it was for me. She said she couldn’t find her port- monia, and asked her brndder Bob, who am sitting on the bench dar, did his bead tied up far de ted dollars. He said he would get it as soon a3 the bank opened, ns hedidn’t hab no small change; and he hunted me up and down on Anstin avenue and asked me to loan him ten dollars, and I said I would next day, but I nebber meant to do no such foolishness, nohaw Yon see. judge none of ’em tole de udder dat hit was me what fust started de busi ness." ‘‘Well, what has all this to do with the assault ?’ asked the justice. ‘Next day, New Yeah’s day, I called at de Snowball mansion on Anstin avenue. Dey was all dar. 1 axed de ole man if he had de ten dollars ho promised me. He said sartiuly, and went ober to Matildy and axed her fur de money she had prom ised him, and she said sartinly too, and goes ober to Bob fur de money he had promised. Bob said ob coarse,’ and I hope I may be struck dead iu my tracks ef dat fool niggah didn’t coxie up ter me and say: ‘Brudder-in-law what’s gwine ter be, has yer got de teu dollars yer promised me?’ •What followed !’ ‘I jes riz. up, aud putting my stove-pipe on de side of my head, I said : ‘I tenders my resignation as a future son-in-law, de same ter go inter effect from right now.

Detroit Free Frets. A week or two ago a bright and chat ty young woman called at a house on Cass avenue and endeavored to make a sale of a book entitled. “Home and Mother." The lady of the house re ceived her in the usual ten degrees be low fashion and utterly refusing to look, she said .* “I haven’t any money, and I know that my husband wouldn’t pay for it.” “It is a book highly spoken of by the press.” “Yes. I know, but my husband is queer.” “And you see the superior style of binding.” “I know but my husband would call it bosh and trash.” “Shan’t I call when he is at home 7” “That would be useless. He wouldn’t even look at it, and he hates female book agents.” “Does he ?” “Yes, he abhors them. I know he doesn’t even treat them civily when they call at his office.” “Is that so f" mused the girl, and when she left the house she for some reason or other started right down ttfwn. The lady of the house might have forgotten the incident in five or six years but for a sort of climax. When her hu band came up to dinner he hand ed her a copy of “Home and Mother.” with tii2 remark: Happened to see it as I passed a second-hand book store and thought perhaps you’d like it.” GEMN OF THOUGHT. From George EUoCt “Adam Bede.”] The beauty of a lovely woman is like music. Our dead are never - dead to us until we have forgottou them, A woman may get to love by degrees the best fire does uot flame up the soonest. A man may be very firm in other matters, and yet be under a sort witch ery from a woman. When death the great reconciler has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, bat our sove rity. If you would love a woman without ever looking back on your love as a folly, she must die while you are court ing her. We are apt to be kinder to the brutes that love us, than to the woman that loves ns. Is it because the brutes are dumb 7 I don’t want to know people that look ugly and disagreeable, any more than I want to taste dishes that look disagreeable. Then they looked at each other, not quite as they had looked before, for in their eyes there was the memory of a kiss. There’s no pleasure in living if you’re to be corked up forever, and only drib ble yonr mind out by the sly, like a ieaky barrel. One may be betrayed into doing things by a combination of crimes which one might have never done oth erwise. “But, mother, “thee knew’st we cau- “Yes—ah—but, Henry, a girl was here trying to sell me this very book) not ,0 _! e j U8t "heather folks '^huve not over two hours ago, stammered the wife, “Wa6, eh? Well, she probaply got discouraged, sold out to the second hand dealer and has skipped the city. Is dinner ready ?” Dinner was ready, but somehow the wife had no appetite, and since then she has fits of abstraction, glances sus piciously around at times and has been seeD going in and coming out of second hand book stores* Bill Arp on Capital and Politics Capital don’t care anything about our politics. Capital don’t care wheth er Dr. Felton goes to Congress or stays at home. I reckon our politics aod politician and our gubernatorial and congressional conventions will compare favorably with New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania, or any other North ern State. Politics is a fraud and a trick everywhere, bat don’t let us sad dle our poverty on the organized Demo cracy. I have no doubt the doctor thinks it is the devil’s brother-in-law, and looks upon the failure of last year’s crop as a visitation of Providence upon Democratic iniquity, for what is born in the flesh is bred in the bone, and it would take a mighty pure Democrat to command respect from an old line whig. Now let us hold on a while. We are doing pretty well considering, and more northern capital has been invest ed in Georgia in the last twelve months tlfan in five years preceeding. I don’t hear of any northern man who has moved here making any complaint about our treatment. Major McCracken did have a little skirmish with your city council about his railroad, but that has been amicably settled and I am glad of it. I traveled through the country one day with the Major and heard him say as he looked at the wheat fields all rough with corn stocks and bad plow ing, “You must have a blessed country down here in Georgia, for if we put our wheat in the ground that way in Ohio we would not expect to make the d we planted.” Jesso. That is what is the matcer. We want no bet. ter farms aad better farming and I don’t believe an independent succeeds any better on that line tban a regular Democrat. At least they don’t in my neighborhood. Bill Arp. —Atlanta Constitution. Six Girls” is the title of the latest noveL It is expected that a sequel, entitled “Onr broken Gate” will be issued soon. A bro ken gate would naturally follow six girls; said broken gait belonging to the bald- headed old reprobate who ought to be old enough to know better. There’s nobody but God that ban control the heart of man. The vainest woman is never thorough ly conscious hf her own beauty till she is loved by the man who sets her own passions vibrating in return. Because, dear, trouble comes to ns all in this life, we set our hearts on tilings which it isn’t God’s will for us to have, and then we go sorrowing. A man never lies with more delicious languor under the influence of passion, than when be has persuaded himself that he 3hall subdue it to-morrow. When I have made np my mind that I cannot afford to buy a tempting dog, I take no notice of him, because if he took a strong fancy to me, and looked lovingly at me, the struggle between arithmetic and inclination might be come unpleasantly severe. It’s a deep mystery—the way the heart of man turns to one woman out of all the rest he’s seen in the world, aod makes it easier for him to work seven years for herlike Jacob did for Rachel, sooner than have any other woman for the asking. But I believe there have been men since his day who have ridden a long way to avoid a recontre, and then gal loped hastily back, lest they should miss it. It is the favorite strategem of our passions to charm a retreat, and to turn sharp around upon us the moment we have made np our minds that the day is our own. G1 ramblers. There are some persons who will ever complain of their lot in life and endeavor to convince their friends, if not themselves, that they were always unlucky, and that nobody has as many trials to undergo as they do. This is your chronic grumbler. He sits down and mopes, while his neighbor is up, pushing on against contrary winds, and battling with adversity with every poll of the oar, and finally sncceeds in moor ing his bark in a safe retreat. His idle nighbor Bees his prosperity, and calls it luck. Every community has these croakers and grumblers in their midst. If the able bodied map would get up out of his old lazy ruts, and strike oat a new road, and quit compar ing his lot in life with his neighbor’s (who is only more prosperous because more patient and industrious,) there would’nt be so many useless stomachs to fill, and more food wonld be made to feed thewilling workers.—MiUedg- eville Recorder. Social tllqaei. Augusta Newt. One item of gossip concerning the reception at the Vapderbilt palace re cently represented that some of the old families—the Knickerbockers, we pre sume, or some other b ockers—dec! i ned to attend, though invited, because the Vanderbilts were not yet included in their exclusive circle “What fools these mortal be.” The Knickerbockers, if they are the ones, are fools for supposing that their little sapling of a pedigree, extending back only a couple of hundred years and then beginning in a lot of logy old Dutch burgers, entitles them to assume airs in American society; Vanderblt is fool for earing a fig, if he does care fig, whether these people “recognize him or not. These cliques aud circles founded on pedigree and not on merit or taste, excite only the contempt and ridicule of sensible people. Every man or woman is entitled to be select in the choice of acquaintances and associa tions, but the assumption of social su periority some society people set up, exposes them to an estimate of their character among shrewd observers that is decidedly uncomplimentary. On the other hand, people of fastidi ious or special tastes often are mis judged on account of their choice of so ciety in accordance with such tastes The selection of one’s friends, like the other choice of a husband or wife ought to be left entirely to the individ ual most interested. The criticism of outsiders upon social exclusiveness is impertinent except when it deals with manifest assumption of superiority based upon the accident of birth or wealth, when the keener the shafts of riddiculc, of satire, of sarcasm that can be hurled at the pretenders and up starts, the better for the soundness of society. The Doctor and the Lawyer. A smart young sprig of a lawyer had a gravs old doctor on the witness stand in a case of assault and battery, and he queS' tioned him unmercifully. “Ah, doctor.” inqnired the lawyer, ‘‘did I understand yon to say the cat in the man’s head was dangerous?” “Yes, sir,” replied the doctor. “Well, doctor, doesn’t it sometimes hap pen that even a less cut than this one is dangerous ?” “Yes, sir.” “And. doctor, is it not true that even a scratch is dangerous ?” “Yes, sir, and I know of cases resulting fatally when not even a scratch was visible, Only recently a man died under such cir cumstances.” “Ah. indeed,” qaickly pat in the attor ney in a pleased and satisfied wav, “will yon be kind enough to tell the jury the facts ?" “Certainly, if yon desire it.” “Yon say there was not a scratch on him ?” “Not one that I could find.” “And be died ?" “Yes.” “Now, doctor, just tell the jury bow it was.” Well, you Eee, he had the colic aud he was dead before I could get him untangl ed.” The young attorney called another wit ness.—Steaubenville (0.) Herald. No,Effie,my child. We are not aesth ete. We only love the beautiful as it is mate rialized by the presence of the sex.

An exchange Bays a boy will tramp 247 miles in one day on a rabbit hunt and be limber in the evenimg; when, if yon ask him to go across the street and borrow Jooes' two-inch auger’ he will be as stiff as a meat block. Of course he will. And he will go swim ming all day and stay in the water three hours at a time, and splash and dive and paddle and puff, and next morning he will feel that an unmeas ured insult has been offered him when he is told by his mother to wash his face carefully so as not to leave the score of the ebb and flew so plain as to be seen under the gills. And he’ll wander around a dry creek bed all the afternoon piling up a pebble fort, and nearly die ofl when his big sister wants him to please pick up a basket of chips for the .parlor stove; and he’ll spend the biggest part of the day trying to corner a stray mule or a bald-backed horse for a ride, and feel that all life’s charms have fled when it comes time to drive the cows home; and he’ll turn a ten-acre lot upside down for ten inches of angle worms, and wish for the voice less tomb when the gardea demands his attention. But all the same, when you want a friend who will stand by you £nd sympathize with you in all kinds of weather enlist one of those small boys.—Hawkeye. WIT AND WISDOM. Breakfast rolls—turning over in bed. A criminal soldom sits down to take ar rest. An lioneet man is themoblest pursuit of woman. The key that winds np a man’s basinesa Is whiskey. The best armor is t# keep eut ef gun shot. Thought is invisible nature—nature is invisible thought. Martin, if dirt was tramps what hands you would hold. Principles like troops of the line are un disturbed and stand fast. Genuine suffering often jestB best, for it knows no idle longing for tears. Those who never retract their opinions 1 love themselves more than they lore the truth. Upon the margin ef celestial streams alone those simples grow which cure the heartache. The seeds of knowledge may be planted in solitude, but must be cultivated in pub lic. “Boyce will be Boyce,” remarked a young lady of that name, as she rejected a suitor fer her hand. If the best man’s faults were written on bis forehead, it would make him pull his hat over his eyes. A Sunday-school boy upon be’ng asked what made the tower of Pisa lean, replied : “Because of the famine in the iar.d.” Why need one always explain ? Some feelings are quite untranslatable. No language baa yet been found for them. Success soon palls. The joyons time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows. Jealousy sees things always with magni- fying glasses, which makes little things large, of dwarfs giants, suspects truths. If you wonld convince a man that he does wrong, do right; bat do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. • • “Thera is no rest for the wigged,” is what the baldheaded man said when he chased his false hair np the street in a De cember gale. Bolling hair in a solution of tea will darken it, says an exchange; bat some folks don’t like to have tbeir tea darkened that way. “Well, dear little boy, what shall I get you for a present ?” “Well, papa, 1 think I should like a little House of Representa tives.” “Oh, my dear, not one of those noisy toys 1” Guiteau says, “The jury may put my body in the ground, but n»y soul will go marching on.” If a compromise can be effected on this basis, the public will be satisfied. Made as Mistake. Young Charles Augustus, more pf a masbef than a reader of standard au thors, not long age found a new girl and went to see her. The next daj he was met on the street looking like a last year’s birds’ nest generally, and with four or five long scoatehes oa his face particularly. “Hello,” said a friend, “what’s the matter 7” “Nothing,” he replied, “only I've found out that the poet told the truth.” “Why, how's that 7 What do you mean 7” “Don’t you read poetry ?” “Yes. some.” “Well, didn’t you ever read the vers# which says : “ *Oh woman in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy and hard to aqueese?’ “That’s what 1 mean.” “Oh!” remarked the friend, with tt significant wink, “I Understand,” and they parted.—Ex. SPKiHOFiSLD, Robertson Co.. Tin*., November 27, 1880- D*. J. Bradfibld—Sir : My daughter has been suffering for many years with that dreadful affliction known as Female Disease, which has cost me many dollars, and not withstanding I had the best medical attend ance, could not find relief. I have used many other kinds of medicine without any effect. I had just about given her up, was out of heart, but happened in the store ef W, W. Eckler several weeks since, and he knows of my daughter’s affliction pursuaded me to try a bottle of your Female Regulator. She began to improve at once. . I was so de lighted with its effect that I bought several more bottles. The price, $1.50 a bottle, seemed to be very high at first, but I now think it the cheapest preparation on the globe and knowing what I do about it, if to-day one of my family was suffering with that awful disease I weuld have it if it cost $50 a bottle, for I can truthfully say it has cured my daughter sound and well, and myself and wife do most heartily recommend your Fe male Regulator to be just what it is recom mended to be.

A Mrs. Miller, of Washington City, has swapped a one-eyed husband for a one-legged lover, and has thrown in a ready-made family of children to boot. It is well to have yonr zeal for reform ing the world begin on yenrself. After yon have finished the work needed then yon may with justice extend your (Sorts to year neighbor’s case. A folora-loekiag American said: “I’ve tried everything I could turn my hand to, but couldn't make anything answer aod now I’m going np among the rocks, where they say there’s a wonderful echo, to see if I cant make that answer.” “I’m glad Billy had sense to maty a set tled old maid,” said Grandma Winkum at the wedding. “Gals is so hitytity, and widdere is so kinder overrulin’ and upset tin’.
