Big Water on the Mississippi in 1844. Life in the Mississippi swamp is unique, but, perhaps, never so much so ns during that memorable summer. The shallowest water, for indefinite miles in any direction, was two feet deep, the nearest land the “ Hills of Arkan san',’ - thirty miles away. The mules were quartered on the upper floor of the gin-house; the cattle had all been drowned long ago; planter, negroes and overseer were confined in their re spective domiciles ; the grist-mill was under water, and there was no means of preparing corn for culinary purposes ex cept a wooden Uominy-mortar. The hog-and-hominy diet (so highly extolled l>y some people who have never lived on it) was adopted of necessity, the former being represented by mess pork, suiter than tongue can tell. There were no visitors, except now and then a so ciable snake, which, no doubt bored by swimming around indefinitely in the overflow, and craving even human com panionship, would glide up on the gallery of some of the houses. There was no means of locomotion except the skiff and the humble but ever-serviceable dug-out—nowhere to go and nobody within a day’s journey otherwise or more comfortably situated. Tho only sense of sympathy from without was had from remote and infrequent glimpses of the gallant steamer J. M. Wliite, which, leaping from }>oint to point, made bet tor time from New Orleans to St. Louie than was ever made, before or for many years after. That year, nineteen plantations out ol twenty failed to produce a single pound of cotton or a single bushel of corn, and when the flood was over and tho swamp Noahs came out of their respect ive arks, they were, to say the least, malcontent. They were not ruined, of course, but they had lost a whole year’s gross income. Moreover, the prestige of the swamp as a cotton country was wofully diminished. Tho planters in the “Hills,” as the uplands are denom inated, began to hold un their heads, no longer overcrowed by the extraordinary crops alleged to have been heretofore produced in the swamp. The sw r amp-planters set to work to re deem the disaster, and to provide, as far as possible, against its recurrence. With the purpose of retrieving their financial fortunes they took some unique measures. There is a tradition that, at a public meeting held in Green ville, Miss,, in October, 1844, among other more commonplace resolu tions one was gravely and unanimously adopted to the effect that a demand for payment within twelve months from that date of any debt, great or small, upon any planter who had been over flowed that year, should bo considered distinctly “personal”—a clear case for pistols and coffee. The code was cer tainly a curious institution, but i>roba bly this is the only instance in which it was expected to do duty as a stay-law.— “ The Levees of the Mississippi ,” in Scribner. ___ A Texas Mother-In-Law. A tall woman, wearing a sun-bonnet, came into the office of the chief of po lice, and sitting down hard on tho end of a bench, wiped her nose, batted her oyes a time or so at the chief, and asked in a voice that reminded one of sharpen ing a saw. “ Be you the galoot who locks folks up ?” “ I regret to say that I am occasion ally obliged to resort to such extreme measuros with refractory persons.” *‘ I know all that; but be you tho ga loot !” “Yes, madam.” “ Why didn’t you say so when I asked you ?” “ I did.” “You are a liar, aud if you don’t treat me like a lady, I’ll fold you up and sit down on you, ” and batted her eyes some more like a terrier. “What did you want?” asked the offi cial, looking as if he needed reinforce ments right away, and plenty of them. “I want that dirty little whelp what married my darter. I want to talk to him on business, but he evades me. If I could only get a chance to caress him onoo more !” and she breathed hard and gritted her teeth until tho official felt in his.pocket for a police whistle. “He told my darter he would give three hundred and twenty acres of laud, with a gold mine on it, to anybody who would amputate my jaw with a boot-jack. He said my mouth was like the gate at the fair grounds. ” “He meant, I suppose, it was never •hut. I don’t see how he came to make any such ridiculous comparison as that. Did vou ever remonstrate with him ?” “ You bet I did. I drawed him across the kitchen table by the hair with one hand while I blasted him with a long handled skillet, and you should have heered him oalliug me * mother darling ’ tud * pet, ’ but Providence was agin me. His hair gave away, and he lit out be fore I could reason with him any more. Just as like as not we will never meet again,” and she sighed heavily. “Be calm, madam, do not exoite yourself too much.” “I am calm. I like to talk about these family secrets. It calls up saored recollections. It makes me think of my fust husband. It was real fun to remon strate with liim. He sassed back, but, Lord, what a time they had holding the inquest. That was at Arkansas, before we moved to Galveston. There was some of his remains in one corner of tho yard, and a few more remains hanging on the fence, and there was a right peart of him wrapped around the ax handle. The jury knew me so they brought in a ver dict of justifiable homicide or suicide or something like that And now to think of this pesky, little, worthless, spindle shaken, goggle-eyed whelp getting clear off, excepting a few pounds of har. I want you to find him. You can know him by the brands I made on him with Hie hot skillet Wanted to amputate my jaw, the little brassy whelp ! Said my mouth was like a gate, did he ?” The official said lie would hunt for him and let her know. As she went out, she batted her eyes significantly at the offi cial, and said : “You had better find that prodigal son or thar’ll be music in these head quarters.” An old angler says that a fish does not suffer much pain from being hooked. But let him tell the yarn to the man who left in his pocket for his knife and found he had left seven fishhooks iu there, if he wants to be called an im priucipkd old blauderer. GEMS OF THOUGHT. A happy heart makes a happy visage. A great reputatian is a great charge. Example is louder than any words. Great griefs are the medicines of our lesser sorrows. Affection*, like the iron smith, shapes as it smites.— Bovcc. Conscience either approves or reproves each intelligent act. Memory records services with a pen cil, injuries with a graver. There are flaws in diamonds, flies in amber, and faults in every man. No padlock, bolts or bars can secure a maiden so well ag her own reserve. Listen to conscience more than to in tellect and learn to concentrate thought. Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distress’d. — Cowper. The end of man is an action and not a thought, though it were of the no blest. The attainment of our greatest desires is often the source of our greatest sor rows. Jealousy is the liight of egotism, self love and the imitation of false vanity.— Balzac. The earth can not be entirely covered with violets and mignonette ; there must be weeds and vegetables. On the sands of life Sorrow treads heavily and leaves a print Time cannot wash away. —Neele. Men have made of Fortune an all powerful goddess, in order to be made responsible for all their blunders. Temptation belongs to the schedule of life, and no man can altogether avoid it if he seek to do so ever so much. Ten thousand ear3 will hear the audacious lie, One thousand to the refutation list, Ten, of ten thousand, will believe stern truth. - IK. W. Story. A woman reaches her prime between thirty-five and forty, for though her beauty has then lost tho charm of youth, it has acquired that of expression. Act, things that we clasp and cherish Pass like dreams we may not. keep— Human hearts forget and perish, Human eyes must fall asleep. —Heine. As water containing stony particles incrusts with them the ferns and mosses it drops on, so the human breast hardens under ingratitude, in proportion to its openness and softness, and its aptitude to receive impressions. You must either soar or stoop, Fall or triumph, stand or droop; You must either serve or govern, Must be slave or must be sovereign; Must, iu fine, be block or wedge, Must be anvil or be sledge. — Goethe. The best part of man’s life is in the world of his natural affections, and that realm has laws of its own that neither know nor heed king nor congresses, and are deaf even to the voices of shouting popular majorities, but heed and obey rather the gentle voice of woman and the cry of helpless and feeble child hood.—Senator Bayard. Why are you barbarously imprisoned by your fears ? Why do you carry bur dens all the day on aeoount of the fears of an unexplored next day, next week, next month ? Why do you fish on the troubled stream of fear and bring to land fish that have no money in their mouth? Why do you not say, “Let my life flow tranquil and pure in that higher realm of faith and trust and let the future take care of itself ?” Stephenson When a Boy. Railway traffic, as it exists, was not even conceived or imagined a century ago. The man who gave us wings, who taught us to beat the racehorse, to sur pass the flight of the swiftest bird, and to make huge argosies, with multitudi nous passengers, skim over the earth far mere easily, swiftly, and obediently than over the sea, was such as modern phil anthropy loves to look down on as the object of compassionate aid. He w T as the son of an engine tenter at a colliery. The surface works of a pit or mine may be curious, but they are not picturesque. It is hard to believe that the heap of de bris and wrecked machinery now form ing Sheffield Manor was once the most pleasant of all the prisons of Mary Stuart, But a hundred years ago the colliery engine ivas a very poor, rickety, asthmatic creature, compared with an engine of these days. Puffing and blow ing and blowing, shaking and clanging, it was always more or less out of order, to be stopped every now and then to see what was the matter with it. Sympathy is the soul of all goodness and greatness, and, as a good shepherd must love his sheep, a good groom his horse, and a good sailor his ship, so anybody em ployed on an engine must have a genu ine affection for it, and a deep concern in its troubles. He must learn to feel its pulse, look into its mouth, and inquire tenderly into its poor inside, if he is ever to do it any good. There was much op portunity for mechanical pathology in those days. George Stephenson became a little man, as a pit engine boy at 2d a day. No wonder, when much coal was sold only sixty years ago at 5s a ton at the pit’s mouth. He had absolutely no education in tho departmental sense of tliat much-abused word. He only learnt his business. That was all. At eighteen he began to read, and had the luck to fall in with two teachers, one of them a Scotch dominie, who could teach him something more. He then became stoker and brakeman*—that is, he had to feed the furnace and liberate or stop the rope at the right time. Most men of genius would hardly think it their proper sphere to throw coals on a fire or to keep their eyes constantly fixed on a rope going up and dowm ; but George Stephenson had to go through this ordeal, and found ex ercise for his mind in it An opportunity came. A condensing pump engine had bothered the engineer. He volunteered, for love's sake, restored the patient to perfect health, and having reached the root of the disease, effected a permanent improvement in the constitution. Then he became an engine man, and married on 12s a week. So he went on, curing the diseases of engines and wagon ways, and took trains under ground. Indeed, they would go anywhere with him. But his benevolence was diffusive. He mend ed everything that came in his way— clocks, watches, shoes, and even the cut of pitmen’s clothes.— London Time*. The Arizona Democrat claims that they have neither sun-strokes nor mad dogs in the healthy State of Arizona. Many Philadelphia manufacturing es tablishments are boring artesian wells to obtain supplies of pure water. The Origin of the Name “Artemw Ward.” There has been not a little specular tion as to how Brown came by his nom de plume , “Artemus Ward.” Dr. Shattuck says that, having some confi dential business with him during one of his last visits to Waterford, he took the occasion to inquire in particular about it Brown said it was in this wise s While engaged at the Blaindealer of fice, in Cleveland, Ohio, he made the acquaintance of an eccentric old gentle man whose actual name wan Artemus Ward, though assuming some more pre tentious titles. This man was in the show business, having a few “ wax Ag gers ” birds, “ snaix” and a kangaroo. While waiting on the printers for his bills he amused Brown by telling an endless number of anecdotes, all of which were duly treasured up. Among these were some of the incidents in Brown’s article entitled “ Edwin Forrest as Othello.” He referred to the follow ing as one of the contributions of the original Artemus Ward; “Ed was actin’ at Niblo’s Garding, but let that pars. I sot down in the pit, took out my spectacles and com menced peroosin the evenin’s bill. * * As I was peroosin’ the bill a grave young man who sot near me axed me if I’d ever seen Forrest dance the essence of Old Yirginny. “ * He’s immense in that,’ sed the young man. ‘He also does a fair cham pion jig,’ the young man eontinnered, ‘ but ms big thing is the essence of Old Yirginny.’ “Sez I: “ ‘ Fair youth, do you know what I’d do with you if you was my sun.’ “ ‘No,’ sez he. “‘Wall,’sez I, ‘l’d appinfc your fu neral to-morrow arternoon, and the korps should be ready! You’re too smart to live on this yearth.’ ” The old man olaimed himself to be the hero of this story. Brown, however, wanted the credit of correcting the spelling and of dressing the stories up in good literary style. Pleased with the name, he attached it to several of his comic productions, and, finding that it took with the public, adopted “A. Ward” as his own.— Scribner.

We learn that Ellis & Cos., propaietors of Bailey Springs, are making prepara tions to entertain an unusually large number of visitors this summer. They are receiving communications from all over the south inquiring rates and making con tracts for board. This is only their due, for not only are they most successful hotel keepers, but their place is in every way worthy of patronage. It is one of the coolest, shadiest, breeziest places in the South ; the locality and surround ings are delightful; the buildings are roomy, airy, and conveniently arranged; the accommodations, fare and attention are first class, and Shoal Creek is the most romantic stream and the best fish ing water you ever saw. Add to this the unrivalled power of the old Rock Spring ia the cure of dropsy, scrofula, dyspepsia and diseases of the blood, skin and kidneys, and the sum of attractions is irresistible. If you have erm been there you know this is all true. If you have not, try it just once. You will never regret it. Address Ellis & Cos., Bailey Springs, Ala.

No man can do a good job of work, preach a good sermon, try a law suit well, doctor a patient, or rite a good article when he feels miserable and dnil, with sluggish brain and unsteady nerves, and none should make the attempt in such a condition when it can be so easily aud cheaply removed by a little Hop Bitters.
