Here the mother divided & pair of slaps between the two disputants, which silenced them for a few mo ments. At this juncture Rebecca cried out with a burnt fiinger, which she re ceived in cooking another pig-tail.— The burn was so slight that she forgot it as her mother jerked her from the fir‘« You little vixen !’ said the mother, ‘what possesses you to be fumbling a boutthe fire?

And now, young gentlemen, one and all of you, the next one of you that brings one of those things into the house again, I'll box his ears as long as I can find him. Now remem ber it! Come along to your breakfast.’ In a little time, after some contro versy about places, which was arrested by the mother’s eye, they were all seat *J; John happened in, in the mean time, taking his father’s seat. ‘ls s-sp!’ said William, ‘saasidges! that’s what I love.’ ‘Hoo,’ said Isaac, 'spareribs! that’s what I love.’ ‘Well, your gab, and eat what’s set fcrefore you without comment. No body cares what you love, or what you don’t love ’ ‘Souse!’ said Abraham; I don’t love souse. I wouldn’t eat souse; 'tain’t fit ten for a dog to eat.’ ‘Get up, sir; get right up from the table, and march out of the house un til you learn better manners. I’ll be bound, if I say you shall eat souse you’ll eat it. Do you hear me, sir?’ Abraham raked himself lazily out of his seat, and moved slowly off, casting a longing look at the many good things on the table, which, he evidently thought, ‘fitten for a prince to eat.’ ‘Ma,’ said he as he retired, ‘I wish you’d make Bill quit laughing at me.’ ‘William, I’ve as great a mind as I ever had to do anything in my life to «eud you from the table, and not let you eat a mouthful. I despise fliat a!x>minable disposition you have of re joicing at your brothers’ misfortunes. Reua ember, sir, what Solomon says: He that is glad at -calamities shall not go unpunished.’ ’ ‘Ma,’ said Abraham, ‘mayn’t I come to my breakfast ?’ ‘Yes, if you think you can now be have yourself with decency.’ Abraham returned, and they all broke forth at once: Ma, mayn’t I have some sassidge?’ —‘Ma, I want some spare-rib.’—‘Ma, I ain’t got no coffee.’—‘Ma, if you please ma’in, let me have some ham gravy, and some fried hom’ny, and some egg, and— ’ ‘And some of everything on the ta ble, I suppose. Put down your plute —every one of you. George, what will you have ?’ ‘Some sassidge, and some fried pota ter.’ ‘John, help your brother George.— What do you want, W’iliiam ?’ ‘I want- some spare-rib and some hom’ny.’ ‘Nancy, help William. What do you want, Abraham ?’ ‘I reckon,’ said John, smiling, ‘he’ll take a little souse.’ ‘Now, John, behave yourself. He. has 3uffefed the [unishment of his fault, and there let it rest/ ‘l’ll have,’ said Abraham, ‘some ham gravy, and some egg, and some hom’- ny.’ ‘Help him, Chaney. What’ll you have, Isaac ?’ Til have some ham-gravy, and some hom’ny, and some sassidge, and some spare-rib, and some— ’ ‘Well, you are not going to have ev erything on the table, I assure you. — What do you want ?’ ‘I want some hau.-gravy and some hom’ny.’ ‘John, help I— ’ ‘No! I don’t want no gravy; I want somo spare-rib.’ ‘John, give him— ’ ‘No! I don’t want no spare-rib; I want some sassidge.’ ‘Well, if you don’t make up your mind pretty quick you’ll want your breakfast, I tell you. I’m not going to be tantalized all day long by your wants. Say what you want, and have done with it.’ •I want some bam-gravy and some eassulge and some hom’ny.* ‘Help him, John/ John helped him to about a tear 8 oonful from each dish. ‘Now, Ma, jesL look at Bud John !

I confess that lamat a loss to discover what pleasure one of your age can take in tenting your younger brothers. Rebecca, what do 'you want?’ ‘I want my pig-tail, ma’am.* ‘Bless my soul and body I haven't you forgot that pig-tail yet? It’s burnt up long ago, I hope. Look, Bob, and see; and if it isn't, give it to her. I wish in my heart there never was a pig-tail on the face of the earth.’ Bob produced the half charred pig tail, aud laid it on Miss Rebecca’s plate. ‘There,* continued her mother, ‘I hope now your heart’s at ease A beautiful dish it is, truly, for auy mor tal to take a fancy to! ‘Ma, I don’t want this pig-tail.’ ‘Take it away. I knew yon didn't want it, you little perversa brat I knew you didn’t want it; and I don’t know what got into me to let you have it But really, I tun so tormented ont of my life that, half the time, I hardly know whether I’m standing on my head or my heels.’ ‘Missis,’ said Chaney. ‘Aunt Dorcas say please make Miss Louisa come out de kitchen. Say if you don’t make her come out de fire, her’U git burnt up d’rekly. Say every time she tell her to come out de fire she make a mouf at her.’ ‘Why, sure enough! where is Loui sa ? Go tell her to come to her break fast this instant.’ T did tell her, ma'am; and she say she won’t come till she gits dene bakin’ her cake.’ Mm Butler left the room, and soon returned with Louisa sobbing and cry in it ‘Aunt Dorcas jerked me hard as ev er she could jerk ’fore I did anything 't all to her/ ‘Hold your tongue! she served you right enough; you’d no business ffiere. You're a pretty thing to be making mouths at a person old enough to be your grandmother. If I’d thought when I gave you that lump of dough that the whole plantation was to be turned upside down about it, I'd have let you do without it.’ Miss Louisa, after a little sobbing and pouting, drew from her apron a small, dirty, ashy, black, wrinkled, burnt biscuit, warm from the kitchen sliorel, which would have been just precisely the accompaniment to Rebecca’s dish; and upon this, iu preference to everything on the table, she commenced her repast. ‘Well, L*u,’ said the mother with a laugh, as she cast her eye upon the unsightly bis cuit, ‘you certainly have a strange taste.’ Everybody knows that the mother’s laugh is always responded to with compound in terest by all her children. Fo was it in this instance, and good humor prevailed around the table. ‘l’m sorry,’ said Abraham, ‘for Louisa’s b-i-s, bis, k-i t, kit, biskit. ’ ‘Well, really !’ said Mrs. 8., ‘you are a handsome speller. Is that the way you spell biscuit?’ *1 can spell it, Ma,’ bawled out Isaac. ‘Well, spell it.’ ‘B-i-s, bis, c’— (‘Well, that’s right.’) ‘h’— ‘Ah, well! that’ll do. You needn’t goany further; you’ve missed it w'orse than your brother. Spell it, William.’ William spelled it correctly ‘Ma,’ said George, ‘what is biscuit derived from ?’ •I really do not know,’ said Mrs. 8., ‘and yet I have somewhere read an explanation of it. John, what is it derived from V John.—‘From the French; bis twice, and ouit baked * Butler.—‘Rather from two Latin words which mean the same thing; one of which the French have changed as we have it, while they have preserved the other unalter ed William.—‘Why, Ma, you don’tbake bis cuits twice over.’ Abraham.—‘Yes. Ma does sometimes; don’t you, Ma, when company comes?’ Mother.—‘No. I sometimes warm over cold ones, when I havn’t time to make fresh ones; but never bake them twice.’ Butler.-—‘They were first made to carry to > «»; and they were then baked twice over, as I believe sea-biseuits stiil are.’ Isaac.—‘Ma, what’s breakfast ’rived from?’ Mother.—‘Spell it, and you will see.’ Isaac.—B-r e-a-k, break, f-u-s-t, fust breakfust.’ Mother.—‘Well, Ike, you’re another spell er. Break-fastis the word: not break-fust.’ Abraham.— ‘I know what it comes from.’ Mother.—‘What.’ Abraham.—You know, when you call us chillen to breakfast, we all break off and run as fast as we can split.’ Mother.— Well, that is a brilliant deriva» tion, truly. Do you suppose there wasn’t breakfast before you children were born V Abraham. ‘But, Ma, everybody has chil leu*’ Mrs. Butler explained the term. Isaaac.—‘Ma, I know what sassidge comes from.’ Mother.—‘What ?’ Isaac.—‘Cause it’s gotsassin it.’ Mother.—‘Well, there, there, there! I’ve got enough of derivations, unless they are better. You’ll learn all these things as you grow older.’ Just here. Miss Sarah, who had been breakfasting at a side table, was seized with a curiosity to see what was on the breakfast table. Accordingly, she undertook to draw herself up to the convenient elevation by the table-cloth. Her mother arrested her just in time to save a cup, and pushed her aside with a ger.tle admonition. This did not abate Miss Sarah’s curiosity in the least, and she recommenced her experiment. Her moth er removed her a little more empatically this time. These little interruptions only fired Miss Sarah’s zeal, and she was returning to the charge with redoubled energy, when she ran her check against the palm of her moth ers hand, with a rubificent force. Away she went to her grandmother, crying, ‘Gran’ma, Ma whipped your prettous, darlin, angel baby.’ ‘Did she, my darling ? Then Grandma’s precious, darling, angel must be a good child, and mother won’t whip it any mo e.’ ‘Well. I will be a dood child.’ ‘Well th. n, mother won’t whip it any more,’ and this conference was kept up without, the variation of a letter on either side, until the grandmother deemed it expedient to Temove Miss Sarah to an adjoining room, lest the mother should insist upon the immediate fulfilment of her promises. ‘Ma, just look at Abe.’ cried out William; ‘he saw me going to take a biscuit, and he snatched up the very one I was going to take.’ ‘Abe,’ said the mother, ‘I do wish I could make you quit nick-namiug each other; and I wish more that I had never set you the ex ample. Tut down that biscuit, sir, and take another. Abraham returned the biscuit, and Wil liam took it with a sly and triumphant gig gle at Abraham. ‘Ma,’ said Abraham, ‘Bill said God durn.’ ‘Law, what a story! Ma, I'tleclare I nev er said no such thing.’ ‘Yes you did, and Chaney heard you.’ Williams countenance immediately showed that hta memory had been refreshed; and he drew ed cut, ‘I never none now,’ with a tone and comrteiuuice that plainly imparted guilt to some extent. .His mother suspected that he was hinging uqan technics, and ahe put putthe probing question, ‘Well, what did* you say ?’ ‘I said I be teetotly ’od ’urn,’ ‘And that’s just as bail. Mr. Butler, you positively will have to take this boy in hand. He evinces a strong propensity to profane swearing, which if not corrocted immediate ly, will become ungovernable.’ ‘Whenever you can’t manage him,’ said Mr. Butler as before, ‘just turn him over to me, and I reckon I can manage him.’ It is duo to Butler here to state that it was mutually understood between him and his wife that her credit was not staked upon these general drafts, and therefore he did not feel himself bouud to honor them; but whenever she valued on him (as tho mer chants say) for a specific amount or a spe cial purpose, her bills were never dishonor ed. ‘When did he 6ay it V inquired the moth er, returning to Abraham. T u know that time you sent us all chil dren to the new ground to pick peas-’ ‘Why, that’s been three months ago, at last, and you’ve just thought now of telling it. Oh, you malicious toad, you; where do you learn to bear malice so long? . I abhor that trait of character in a child.’ ‘Ma,’ said Bill, ‘ftbe haiu’t said his pray ers for three nights.’ Abe and Bill now exactly swapped places and countenances. ‘Yes.’said the mother, ‘and I suppose 1 “hould never have heard of that if Abraham had not told of your profanity.’ ‘I know better,’ dragged out Abraham, in reply to William. ‘Abraham,’ said the mother solemnly, ‘did you kneel down when you said your prayers last night ?' ‘Yes, ma’am,’ said Abraham, brightening a little. •Yes, Ma,’ continued Bill, *he kneels down and ’fore I say ‘Now I lay me down to sleep, he jumps up every night and hopg in bed and says he's done said his prayers, and he hain’t had time to say half a prayer - ’ During this narrative my namesake kept cowering under the steadfast frown of mot ti er, until he transformed himself into the perfect personification of idiocy. ‘How many prayers did you say last night, Abraham?’ pursued the mother iu an awful ly portentous tone. ‘I said one, and’— (here he paused-) ‘One, and what V ‘One, and a piece of tother one.’ ‘Why, Ma, he couldn’t ha’ said it to save his life, for he hadn’t time’— ‘Hush, sir, I don’t ask for your assist ance.’ ‘I did,’ muttered Abraham, -I said tother p ; ece after I got in bed.’ ‘Abraham,’ said his mother, ‘I declare I do not know what to gay to you. lam so mortified, so shocked at this conduct, that I am completely at a loss how to express myself about it Suppose you had dieu last night after trifling with your prayers as you did, who can tell what would have become of you! Is it possible that you cannot spend a few minutes in prayer to your Heavenly Father, who feeds you, who clothes you, and who gives you every good thing you have in the world! You poor sinfulehild. I could weep over you.’ Poor Abraham evinced such deep contri tion under this lecture (for he sobbed as if his heart would break) that his mother deem ed it prudent toeonclude with suasives, which she did in the happiest manner. Having thus restored Abraham's equini mity in a measure, with a gently encourag ing smile, she continued: ‘And now, Abraham, tell your mother how you came to say a part of the second prayer.’ ‘I couldn’t go to sleep till I said it, ma’m.’ ‘Well, that is a good sign at least. Aud what part was it?’ ‘God bless my father and mother.’ Mrs. butler felt quickly for her handker chief. It had fallen from her :itp, and -she was. glad of it. She depressed her bead be low the table in search of it, dismissed the children before she raised it, and then rose wi»h a countenance suffused with smiles and tears. ‘Poor babe,’ said she, what an odd com pound of good aud bad they are !’ The grandmother returned just at this time, and discovering some uneasiness at Mrs. Butler's tears, the latter explained.— As she concluded—‘The Lord bless the poor 1 * dear boy,’ exclaimed the venerable matron, raising her apron to her eyes, -that shows he’s got a good heart. No danger of the child that can’t sleep till he prays for his father and mother.’ THE SEMI-WEEKLY EXPRESS JAS. WATT IIAEKIS and BAM'L H. SMITH Editors ai;d PRorRiRTORS. CARTERSVILLS, GA., FEB. 24th. 1871. Editor Constitution: In your issue of the 17th instant, the following state ment appears: “We are credibly informed by a gen tleman who has just returned from Cherokee county, that on Tuesday last, au outrage was committed about ten miles from Cartersville, on a Burns, of South C irolina. It appears that Dr. Harris and a Mr. Burns had come with a party who had moved from 8. Carolina to a place near Adairs vi lie.— Mr. Burns was in a buggy and Dr. Harris was riding horseback. “Dr. H. stopped to purchase some apples, and Mr. B. drove on. Coming to a negro cabin, Dr. H. asked for some fire, and being told to come in and get it, be alighted and went in. While in the house several white men came in and went out. Dr H pursuing his journey overtook three men, and a con versation ensued about hunting. One of them grabbed hold of him while an other repeatedly snapped a double bar rel gun at him. He demanded to kuow the cause of this harsh treat ment, when one claimed to be an offi cer, and that he was arresting him for a rape. “Dr H. advised them to put him in jail, and not take his life. After some parleying, they touk his horse, money and pistols, aud telling him that they would spare his life it he wouldn’t say anything about the occurrence, turned him loose, and pushed on after Mr. B. They failed, however, to overtake him. On the route they reported that-they had captured oue horse, but had turn ed the man loose, aud were after an other one of them. “Dr. H. went to the residence of Col. J. E. Brown, and with Mr. Burns, Mr. Evans, and Mr, Kitchens proceeded to search for the perpetrators of the out rage. The horse was found locked up iu the stable of a Mr. Pearson, who is supposed to be one of the party. At the approach of Dr. H. and party, the family fled to the woods. One of the desperadoes is said to be named Born. Nothing but the horse was recovered. ’ As we are old citizens of Bartow co., and think we can, without any great show of vanity, claim some character for houesly aud fair dealing, we ask ,ou to publish this statement of facts: <’n the day referred to, the under signed, in company with Daniel S. Ford, were going up what is kuown in this county as the Tennessee road, some nine miles from Cartersville, were met by a Mr. Stover, who said to us that a man was at the house of a col ored man named Richards, near by, abasing Richards’ family, and asked us to try and relieve this colored family. We proceeded to the house of Rich ards, aud found a man there in the act of raping a colored girl—some thirteen or fourteen years old—who was crying, and otherwise demonstrating to us that she was being forced by tne man, whose name we did not know. It is also proper to state that the girl is well known to us, aud known to be a ! cripple, and tha she cannot walk with- Best & Elrkvatriek >r p W.

This man was armed, his pistol lying on the bed within his reach. As soon as be saw us, he got rip, picked up his pMols, and ordered the girl to dry up, for that he could with the fire of his pistol raise ten armed men. As we were unarmed, and un derstood his remark to be made for our benefit and information rather than for the girl, we allowed him to get on his horse and leave; we at once pro ceeded to get guns, and commenced the pursuit to arre t him. About one and a half miles from the scene of the outrage we came up with this man and arrested him. We then determined to carry him to the house of Esquire Si las Bell, who is a Justice of the Peace, to have him bound over to appear at the Superior Court to answer for the crime he seemed to us to be guilty of. After we started, one of our party had occasion to stop, another was absent when the arrest was made, and the country being there rough and broken he slipped from his horse and made his escape. We took his horse, and Pear son carried the liorse to his house and locked him up. The next day, while Pearson and his wife were abse; t from nome, the stable was broken open and the horse carried away. The saddle and pistol of this man are yet in the possession of Toarson, where the owner can get them if he will apply for them. Our fear is that the party from whose pos session they were taken will never ap ply for them. We know nothing of Dr. Burns, Dr. Harris, or ,r. Harris. All we can say is, that if the man we caught at the house of the negro Richards, is the kind of company Dr. Harris keeps, it does uot redound greatly to his credit. It may not be out of place to say, that Daniel 8. Ford, who knows much of what was done, is one of the oldest and most respectable citizens of this county. Pearson is at, present a Jus tice of the Peace in his district, and ordered the pursuit and arrest of the person who, it seems, is Dr. Burns. — Vaughan is an ex-Justiee of the Inferi or Court. In this county this is un necessary, but those abroad who may wish to kuow us, and !he probabilities of Dr. Burns having been outraged, we would ask them to call upon Hon. F. M. Ford, Gen. Win. T. Wofford, Captain B. G. Pool, the Ordinary, J. , A. Howard, and the ederk of the Su perior Court, Thos. A. Word. We must uot forget to say, in an swer to the charge of robbery, that Dr. Burns did offer us money to let him j go, but we did not take any by force i or with his consent. All we wanted was to bring a criminal to justice. David A. Vaughan, Wesley Pearson, William ullens, J. 0. Stoter. Bartow County, Feb. 20, 1871. Speech Makdtg in Prayer. —Should prayer, offered in public, be an ora tion ? A few montus ago, he went to church on a Sunday evening, iu a large country town, and heard something which so impressed us that we have siuce thought about it very often. It was not the sermon; there was noth ing memorable iu that. It was a pray er, or at least, when the minister be gan, he said, “Let us pray,” and the people - bowed their Heads as if in sup i plication. Then fir t, a brief euology upon human nature, set ting forth its dignity aud independence. Then there was a description of the horrible and enslaving effects of sup perstition, and of false views of the character of God, which have always been entertained in the Christian church. After this, the results of mod ern theological criticism were summed up, aud the prayer concluded with a sketch in outline of the “good time coming, when man will be emancipa ted from the bondage of traditions, and rites, and superstitious, usages, aud will reverence and worship only the Divine in his own nature.” This is no caricature; it is an accurate report of what we heard on the occasion above referred to, and in important re spects, it is much like what we have often heard in our denomination and in others. There is a great deal of praying in public that closely resem bles speech-making. Os course we in tend no criticism of the obvious ideas and opinions of the ministers whom we heard; we only ask whether such an oration can properly be termed a prayer ?— Liberal Christian.

Our lives are chords and God has strung them all over the key board humanity.— . What a wonderful diapason they make ! Men sweep them with a mystic touch and the symphony they call poetry. Therr are few Beethovens in the musical world ; there are fewer Mahons in the poetic. Few utter in poesy the octaves of our lives - deep and res onant of kingly power ; or strike fiercely the minor chords of despair—the wailings of un comforted grief; but the common singers, whose touch is glad and bouyant, who carol common songs, rythmetical with common toil, are many. There are few nightingales —the lark’s strain gladdens every field “Dead—Alice Cary—aged 50.”—-The wire clicked it to us the other day. We are whirling on, and to-morrow her grave will have been passed; drop the flower of your love to-day! Alice Cary sang while she worked. The whitened year sheaves of her life were bound with song. She sang common songs No word paintiugs; no portraitures of voluptu ousness ; no swelling resonance or mad wild cries; no Umnings of physical beauty—hot lips that cling; eyes that dare; arms that open half to circle; bosom distended, pant ing; every passionful curving, swelling limb instinct, quivering, bending, yielding to the fierce desire to hold ! to have ! arms pearly, snowy breast! Hands, full of woman’s work ; heart, full of woman’s faith and ten derness, she sang sweetly, naturally. Her songs were bu t the echo of her heart. There is that in the conception of a singing toiler that wins irrisistibly our love and sympathy. Why should we not all sing—not grand jubi. lees, or mighty paeans, for the strained souj tires, but each in the measure of his ownca. parity? How musically sounds a song with the sweep of the sickle through the grain.— We are all reapers on the plains of life, — Some sing songs, and some live thorn. This woman did both. We rejoice that she sang humbly. Milton’s grandeur wearies, und Byron’s passion surfeits. We turn from them and gather strength and purity from the real life of Alice Cary’s carollings. We are stifled with the bloom of Moore’s tropic al exuberance ; and back to our own loved violet. We are glad she sang. We love her the more for singing of faith, in toil; Qf hope, in doubt; of rest, “beyond the cedars and the stars.” Your grave is passed sweet poet. The wave of yesterday covered it. Vale! Macpblah. Curious Feat of the Telegraph.— Within a week or two a singular achievement of the telegraph has oc curred. A gentleman suddenly be came ill of pneumonia in Washington City. His physician, a gentleman of great attainments and fame, resided in New York, and he was anxious that this physician should be consulted about his case. A telegraphic wire was by his direction taken into his room, and the New York doctor being summoned to the telegraph office there, the Washington physician at tending the patient informed him of the state of the case, and even enabled him to feel his patient's pidse by caus ing the wire to vibrate as the pulse did. The case thus being thoroughly diagnosed iu New York, the necessary prescriptions were sent thence to Washington. The attack, though vio lent, soon yielded to the treatment, and the patient is now a very cheerful convalescent. This is the first case of the kind we have heard of. It is quite au interesting feat of telegraph. How Congressmen Used to Trav el. Iu the olden time, says a Washing toil correspondent, the wealthy Sena tors and Representatives used to journey hither from their homes in their own carriages, which they thus had for their own use during the ses sion in this city of muguificent distan ces. Rufus King used to come with his four bay 8; the four iron grays which Jackson drove from the Hermi tage when he was Senator, have never been surpassed; and Calhoun’s four in-hand chestnuts, which brought him and his family from Fort Hill, were much admired. Henry Clay, when he was first a member of the House, rode from Ashland here on a thoroughbred colt of his own raising, and it took him longer to get here than it now does a California member of Congress to come by rail from the Golden Gate. “In Liquor.” —One of the boys at the Western depot, while walking over a pile .of freight the other night, step ped upon the head of a barrel of whis key, which fell through and left the youth standing up to his waist in a small ocean of “liquid fire. ’ That boy was emphatically ‘in liquor,’ and should be lectured by his mother. - What a glorious “posish” his would have been for some old topers we wot of.—Enquirer. r ADVKKTISEMIvXTS. 08.
