DON’T BUKKon TROUBLE.
__
Don’t borrow trouble.
Don't borrow trouble, nor meet it half way;
Sufficient to all are the ills of to-day; '
Misfortune, E’en reverses and trials may come;
those we deem the most nappy have
some.
Don’t borrow trouble.
Don't borrow trouble.
Don't borrow trouble—’twill conio soon
With enough, forbidding
aspects habiliments
But wait rough— till he’s here,
unbending his
Meet boldly the. onset and battle it down,
Don't borrow trouble.
Don’t borrow trouble.
Don’t borrow trouble—this debt will re¬
main,
And can only be canceled by suffering
The again
ills we thus borrow by prophetic fears,
Baptizing the record in sorrowing tears.
Don’t borrow trouble.
Don’t borrow trouble—it sprii1«# in each
harvest path,
A that beareth an aftermath ;
It planteth itself with a plenteous seed,
And is gathered in sorrow by hearts that
blued.
Don’t borrow trouble.
Don't borrow trouble.
Don’t borrow trouble, nor gloomily weave
A harvest of tears in a shadowy sheave ;
But, rather, come forth from the dark and
the night,
And garner the blossoms that grow in the
the light.
Don't borrow trouble.
Don’t borrow trouble.
Don’t borrow trouble, he sure, in the sky,
The light will burst forth when the clouds
have gone by;
Be hopeful and brave, and patient and
soon
Will shine out & glorious gladdening noon.
Don’t borrow trouble.

employed by the firm, who, after lift¬

Messrs, ltfiliersoii <V Moody’s store,
where Toney spent live dollars of his
wages. On their return Marshall
struck Toney with a stick, knocking
Liiu down, then rilled his pockets, tak¬
ing fifteen dollars the old man had re
served to carry home to his family.
After he killed him, as he thought, he
drew him about fifteen yards from the
railroad, and placed the body behind a
log. Bryant then returned to the mill
and waited for the train hound for
Macon, in which he took passage for
parts unknown. I learn that before he
came here lie bought a mule from a

and afterwards refused payment. Tho

him arrested, but lie made his escape
and came down here. Marshall is said
