" The crick.-t chin uj*s on Ihs Uesrth, The cruckliuj’ luyot tllcfl." The air id cool anti lively. The fam ily have peartened up and everything i.- lovely amund the farmer's comfortable tire. How invigorating is the first chil ling breeze of coming winter. The huu gry horses nicker for their corn ; the cattle follow you around ; the pesky pigs -queal at your feet, and this dependence of the brutes upon us for their daily food makes a mail feel his consequence is he struts among them like u little king. The love of dominion is very natural. It provokes a kindliness of heart, and ifa man hasn't got anything lse to lord it over it’s some comfort to love and holler at his dog. I’ve seen the day, oh, blessed day, when I strutted amund among niv darkies like a patri arch. I felt like I was running an un limited monarchy on a limited scale. They were happy then and so were we. But they have gone to the dogs long since, and are scattered and poor and destitute. Freedom ruined ’em and it's mighty nigh ruined us. I wish I could buy a nigger. I just want to holler at him after the same old fashion : “Here, Dick, you lazy rascal, go and saddle my horse. Be quick now, or I’ll lamp you with a thrash pole 20 feet long.” “ I want to buy one for Mrs. Arp and sometimes I dream I bear the music of her old familiar call: “Becky, why don’t you come along with that coal hod?” “I’zea cornin’, mam?” “ Ro sanna, what iu the world are you doing; haven’t you found that needle yet!” “ I’ze most found it, mam.” Poor thing; patient and proud she hunts her own needles now, aud the coal hod falls on me. But we still live, thnuk the good Lord, and are worrying through this checker ed life as gracefully as possible. What is the use of brooding over trouble when you can’t help it. Sometimes when a lainy day comes and all outdoors is wet and sloppy, and the dogs track mud in the piazzo, and the children have to be penned up in the house, and everything is gloomy, we get sad and look on the dark side and long lor things we haven’t got. When the little chaps play hide and seek till they get tired and shove the chairs around for cars and engines and look at all the pictures and cut up all the newspapers and turn summersets on their little bed, and then get restless and whine around for freedom, Mrs. Arp opens her school and stands ’em up by the burn to say their lessons. "Now, Carl, let me see if you can say your psalm. Put your hands down and hold up your head.” "The Lord is my sheppnrd. I shall not want. He—he —he— “ Let that flv alone anti pnt rour hands down. He maketh mo to lie down—.” “ lie maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He, he.” “Quit pulling at that curtain. He leadeth me— ’’ “He leadeth me. La, mn, yonder comes a covered wagon. I speck its got apples.” “ Carl, stand away from that window. If I take a sw itch to you I’ll make you look after apple wagons. He leadeth me —.” “ He leadeth me—in the house of the Lord forever.” “ Bless my soul, if he hasn't skipped over (o the very end. Where are you going now?” “ Mama, I want a drink of water — mamy, please give me and Jessie an ap ple.” “No, sir, you shant smell an apple. Every time I try to teach you something you want water, or an apple, or go to catching flies. I wish I luid that switch that’s up on the clock.” “ I'll get it for you,” said I. “No you needn’t, either. Just go on with your writing. I wish you would let me manage the children. All the learning they ever get I have to ding dong it into ’em. When I want the switch I can get it Here, Jessie, come HARTWELL, GA.. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1879. | and sav your verses.” 1 if- And Jessie goes through with “Let I dogs delight ” like n daisy. Oh she’s smart ns a steel-trap—just like her mo ther.” I wish you could see Mrs. Arp's smile when softie other woman comes along aud norutes the smart sayings of her juvenile. “ Ain’t it strange,” says she to me, “ how blinded most mothers are about their children. Mrs. Trotter thinks her Julia a world’s wonder, but Jessie says things every day a heap smarter, and 1 never thought anything about it.” “ Jesso," says I; “ children are shore to be smart when they have a smart mother. Their meanness all conies from the old man.” But the rainy day’s don’t last forever. Sunshine follows cloud and storm and darkness. I’m glad, for your sakes, that its blessed rays arc beaming upon your fuir. Mrs. Arp, my wife, hinted to the children (she never asks me for any thing) that if the weather was pleasant and she bad a little passcl of money 'tie would like to go down; and so I -tirred up things aud when I came home the other night and found her knitting away in that same old corner, I pulled nut twenty-two dollars of rent-cotton money and assuming a pathetic attitude, recited: “ Turn, Angelina, ever dear, My charmer, turn to ate Thine own, thv long*lmt Willirmi here, Kentoreri to heaven and thofc.” And I laid the shining silver in her lap. “ I dident know you were lost,” said ■die, " I never missed you. You stick as close to me as a Siamese twiu—some times I wish you were lost for a while.” "Now you can goto the fair,” said I, “ and buy yourself rich at the dollar store.” “Rich! dollar store indeed! what what will S2O do when the girls want shawls and shoes and winter hats, nnd the boys haven’t got anything and the sheets are worn out aud we are obliged to have two pair of blankets and there isn’t a decent carpet in the house to say nothing of what I need for thy own comfort.” " And mine too,” said I meekly. “ Well, yes, nnd yours too. But you don’t care how you go.” “ I’m running on humility and good manners,” said I. "Good manners indeed —Mr. Free man came down here last night, and you laid down on the bed and went to sleep right before him.” " Well, my dear, I didn’t go to do it. I just laid down with Carl to humor him off, ami I had worked so hard and was so tired, and you know that Nabor Freeman dident come to see me no how, and you were entertaining him so de lightfully that the music of your heaven ly voice lulled me into slumber. But if he had brought the partner of his joys with him I wouldn’t have gone to sleep if I could and I couldn’t, if I •would.” "OU, do stop your rigamarole,” said Mrs. Arp, “I kuew you were tired,and I apologized for you the best I could. I’ll just keep this mouey but I'm not goiug to the fair.” “ And she has laid it in some corner where it’s as safe from me and the bur glars as a banker’s vault. *Why dident you send us a free pass or get the railroads to put the round trip down to a dollar, aud then you would have been that 20 dollars better off. Yours, Bill Arp. P. S.—Newt Tumlin dident say that Grady smelt the “bottle” from afiir. A “ battle” nnd a bottle are different things, though they use up a man all the same. I’m inclined to think you done it a purpose, but I don’t care anything about it if Grady don’t. B. A. Colonel McClung kicked a man out of an Alabama hotel for a personal af front. Six months after he saw the same man kicking another poor fellow out of another hotel. “ Tush, roan,” said the Colonel—“ Hold, but ain't you the man I kicked out of the Nas sau House a little while ago ?” “ Keep still, Colonel,” was the response. “ Don’t say one worth You and I know whom it will do to kick.” “ It’s a very solemn tiling to be mar ried,” said an old lady to her niece who is just about stepping off. “Yes, but it's a great deal morejjolemn not to be,” replied the girl, -seriously. Devoted to Hart County. W anted a Specimen. They were sitting in the olllce of En gineer Del lass yesterday afternoon, that is. a few of Burlington's most worthy officials, when a Hawk-Eye re porter intruded npon them in search of news. There was a positive declara tion from eaeli of them that he knew nothing. After a few moments' com monplace remarks, one of the gentle, men told a story. This reminded an other official of a little incident in his experience as a school-teacher. lie said : “ I had a small microscope in the school, and I would entertain the children with it one afternoon. I had heard that a louse was a wonderful thing under a magnifying glass, so, just before school was dismissed at noon, I told the children that I wanted a big, fat louse, and that for the finest fattest one I would give 15 cents. Well, sirs, I dismissed that school, took ray dinner and went over in a corner to eat it. I bad my lunch nicely laid out, and had Just got started, when I noticed a little <J-year-old come in the doorway and start toward me with his right bead extended and a triumphant expression lighting up his countenance from ear to eye and back again. lie marched right up to me, and its he got within reaching distance he unclosed his hand, and said, • There, teacher; there, I got him,’ and with that he de posited a fine fat gray-back alongside of the lunch. He was alioiit to start otr when in came a little girl in the same manner, walked up with her bend down, her thumb in her mouth, and laid down two. Well, they began to come in then, right along, until about 75 were crawling around before me. 1 tol<l the children to take them out, and save me two of the best of them. Then they gathered them up and took them away; but, gentlemen, I ate no more dinner. It took a week’s salary to pay olf the various 15 cents I had promised, and when the debts were all paid tbe stud}’ of animated nature in that di rection was suspended for the present.” Here the official paused and looked around for the “ next," but no one of fered to go one better, and soon tbe news seeker quietly w ithdrew. One of John Phoenix’* Stories. Ouc in a certain Western fort some time ago, the Major conceived that ar tillery might be used effectively in fight ing the Indians, by dispensing with gun carriages and fastening the cannon upon hacks of mules. So lie explained his views to the commandant, and it was decided to try the experiment. A how itzer was selected and strapped upon the hack of an ambulance mule, with the muzzle pointed towards the tail. When they had secured the gun and loaded it with hall cartridge, they led the calm and steadfast mule out on the bluff, and set up a target in the middle of the river to practice at. The rear of the mule was turned toward the target, and he was backed gently up to the edge of the bluff. The officers stood round in a semi-circle, while the Major went up and inserted a time fuse in the vent of the howitzer. When the fuse was ready the Major lit it and retired. In a moment or two the hitherto unruffled mule beard the fizzing back on his neck, and it made him uneasy. He reached his neck around to ascertain what was go ing on, and his body turned, anti the howitzer began to sweep around the ho rizon. The mule at last became ex cited, and his curiosity became more and more intense; in a second or two lie was standing with his four legs in a bunch making six revolutions per min ute, and the howitzer threatening sud den death to every man within half a mile. The commandant was observed to climb suddenly up a tree ; Ollieers were seen sliding over the bluff into the river, as if they didn’t care at all about the high price of uniforms; the Adjutant made good time toward the fort; a sergeant began to throw up breastworks with his bayonet; the Ma jor rolled over the ground and groaned. In a moment or two there was a puff of smoke, and a dull thud, and the mule —oh ! where was he? A solitary brute might have been seen turning sue* | cessfnl back-somersaults over the bluff, j only to rest at anchor, finally with his I howitzer at the bottom of the river, 81.50 Per Annum. WHOLE NO. IM. while the ball wont oIT toward to fort, hit the chimney in the Major's quarters rattling the adobe bricks down into the parlor, aud frightening the Major's wife into convulsions. They do not al lude to it now, and no report of the re sult of the experiment was ever sent to the War Department. StattsUcs f*r Girls. A young English statistician, who was paying court to a young lady, thought to surprise her with his fmhicusc crudi 'lion. Producing his note-book, she thought lie was about to indite a love sonnet, but was slightly taken aback by the following question : ” How many meals do you eat?” “Why, three, of course; but of nil the oddest questions.” “Never mind, dear. I'll tell you all about it in a moment.” His pencil was rapidly at work. At last, fondly clasping her slender waist: “Now, my darling, I’ve got it. and if you wish to know bow much has pastad through that adorable little mouth in the last seventeen years, I can give you ihc exact figures.” “Goodness! Gracious! What can you menu?” “ Now, just listen," says he, “ and you will hear exactly what you have been obliged to absorb to maintain those charms which are to make the happi ness of my life.* “ But I don’t want to hear.” “Ah, you arc surprised, no doubt, hut statistics are wonderful tilings. Just listeu : You am 17 years old, so that in 15 years you have absorbed often or calves, a; sheep and lambs, 14; chickens,, 32 ; ducks, 201; geese, ‘2O : !Urkfys 100; game of various kinds, 724 ; fishes, 100 ; eggs, 3,124 ; vegetables (hunches), 700; fruit, (Imski ts), 008; cheese, 102 ; bread, c ake, etc., (in sacks of flour), 40 ; wine, (barrels), 11 ; wafer, (gallous), 3.000.” At this time the maiden revolted, and jumping up, exclaimed : “I think you are very impertincuf, and disgusting besides, and 1 will not stay to listen to you.” Upon which she flew into the house. lie gazed after her with an abstracted air, and lcjl, saying to himself: “ If she kept talking nt that rate 12 horn’s out of 24, her jaws would in 20 years travel a distance of 1,882,124 miles.” The maiden, w ithin two months mar ried a well-to-do grocer who was no sta tistician. A Scotch Courtship. A shy young man of Scotland for fourteen 3'ears had wooed the lassie of his heart. One night Jamie, for that was the young man's name, called to see Jennie, and there was a terrible look about hi:t eyes—just as there i sometimes when they’ve made up their minds to pop the question. And Jamie came in and sat down by the fire just as lie had done every Tuesday and Fri day night for fourteen years, and he talked of the. weatlfer, and the cattle, and the crops, and the stock market, 1 was going to say—but no, they didn't talk about that. And finally, Jamie said : “ I’ve known you for a long time.” " Yes, Jamie,” said she. “ And—l've thought I’d always like to know you, Jennie.” “ Y-c-s—Jamie.” “And so I've bought—a lot—Jennie.” “ Y-e-8 —J-a-m-i-e.” “ So—that - when—" “ Yes—Jamie —yes.” “ We’re dead we can lay bur bones together.” The fool had gone and bought a lot in a graveyard; bat Jennie was not discouraged. She knew her man well —after fourteen years site ought to— and so she said, gently : “ Jamie.” “ Yes, Jennie.” “Don’t you think ’twoul I be better to lay our bones together w hile we’re yet alive ?” Washington Gazette : The Georgia Baptist Association which recently held its meeting at Danburg was the first one ever formed in Georgia, and is older than the Federal Government, its existence beginning before the Revolu tionary war. A Horrible Harnlufr. Richmond, Va., October 28.—Last night J. S. Nash, a fanner, living in Henrico county, was burned to death under circumstances which for ghastli ness are not to be fonnd in the annals of inquisition itself. If ever a man suffered, the tortures of the damned he iid. Nash came to Richmond yester day and got. on a spree. After having a lively time here he mounted his horse md rode back home. lie put the ani mal away, and, taking a candle, went to the fodder house to get some feed. This (muse was a Tbg cabin with a small loor. Opening the door he went in, and while in there stumbled against a bale of bay, and it fell from its |Ksi tion, against the door, which opened oil the inside, and completely closed and blocked it up. The unfortunate man, who wa..slupcfiul from drink, let the -andle fall among the fodder, and in an instant the who}?' place was ablaze. He tried to roll the bale of hav from its position, but it. was immovable. Ilis cries brought his wife and ehildreu to the scene, but they were powerless to help him as thcr’dnor was scctirely wodgod. The side* of the house being of logs, laid on one another, they coutct not clicet an entrance through them, Through the chinks between tfrc logs they could see the doomed man in his igonies. He saw them and called! to them. “ For God’s sake, help me! What aye joy standing there for ? Water? water?” Ilis intense pain ompletely sobered him, 4ind ho seam ed to realize Ills Itorrtbb situation. With wild eagerness be caught up bundles of the blazing material in bis hands and threw them aside in his ef forts to clear Ibo way to tbe door. In his blaziiif* tomb ho fought with mad desperation to save his life. At first the small crowd saw bis hair burning ; hen tbe (Jollies on bis back began to redden with the beat from this furnace, md last bis eye-balls were seen to hurst open fsvjn the effects of the fierce Ireat; Then this blind mass of burn ing, living ftesb, staggered about among the flames* and thou Udl among them, lie exhibited Signs of life until after his arms were bnrnod off. The house was entirely destroyed, and this morn ing the headless trmik was all that re mained of this unfortunate man. A Ilea*t-Tamer’s Fate. Olie of the most intrepid wild beast tamers of Europe, Kwrolyi, n Magyar nf colossal stature and extraordinary physical strength, luts recently fallen a victim to a dread contingency of his perilous profession. He was perform ing before a crowded audience in Mad rid the other day ono of Ids sensational feats, which consisted in allowing n huge boa constrictor, over twenty feet in lepgth, to enfold his body in its tremen dous when suddenly a picrciug cry escaped him, which was greeted by the public with a round*TTf applause, under i lie'opposition tlmtits utterance consti tuted a part of the performance. It proved, however, to be the outcome of a strong man’s death agony. The gigan tic snake had tightened its coils and rru-htd peor Karolyi’s life out ont of him with one terriffie squeeze. As Ids head fell hack and his eyes became fix ed in a glassy stare the plaudits died away, and were succeeded by the still ncs* of utter consternation. Tire snake and its lifeless victim swayed for a sec ond at two of inexpressible horror anil then'tom Jed over on the boards of tho •tiigo; but tUujrbgft <litl uvl in the least rehyc his hold upon the corpse, which remained for more than an hour impris oned in its hideous thraldom, nobody daring to approach the lithe monster, of whose powers stiehr appalling proof had been given. At length it occurred to one of Isafolyi’s attendants to place a bowl of milk in a cage within sight of the mighty serpent, which slowly un wound itself from the (laud body nnd glided into its den, irresistibly tempted thereto by its favorite dainty. A post mortem examination of the unfortunate athlete’s remains discovered no fewer than eighty-soven fracture’s of his bones effected by the constriction of the ser pent’s coils. lies death must have been almost instantaneous, ns the spine was disarticulated in several places. Once in traveling, the Rev. Dr. Bled soe was exceedingly annoyed by a pe dantic bore who forced himself upon him, and made a great parade of Ids shallow learning.
