An Ucher Creek Scene. “Now’s er good time to catch fish, an efyou wants to see sum fun pull¬ ing out mud eats, you jes dig er big gode ob bate, an ax Miss Marthy to let you go long wid me, to-night, down to do “cat hole.” It ez jes fo 4 days to do lull ob de moon, an ur it rained day before yesterday, so we will be bound to rake ’em.” These were the words addressed to us at dinner lime, by old Uncle Mose, as faithful and reliable an old negro as ever served under a masters rule. He was one of those old negroes, that did not care to associ¬ ate with his own race, butprefered to stay round tie “White foks.” For this reason, and the care and atten¬ tion lie always gave the children, lie received many little favors that caused him the envy of all the other sla\es. He be lived in withery and conjuring, and to prevent » “spell” being put on him, he at all times carried a piece of silver in his et. He had inexhaustible supply Of these stories, which he never tired of telling; never failing to have an attentive audience. Jake hearing Uncle Mose’s re¬ quest said he was going too, and suggested that we “find er lien nest Ole Miss node nuffin bout and carry de.eggslong wid us. Jake was about fifteen years old and was in moredevilment,and got more whip- ping than any three negroes on the plantation. He caused Uncle Mose more annoyances than every thing else he had to contend with. Niglitcameon, it was one of those calm quiet nights of early Not a rift of cloud to be seen in the clear sky. Only a few of the bright- est stars dared to peep out upon the night. Every object of nature seemed to be affectionately embrac ed by the bright moon light, whose soft rays gently kissed the spark¬ ling drops, on the long Autumn grass. Across the path, that wound along through the wood, fell many dark shadow, that looked like so many monster animals, crouching to spring on the unsuspecting trav¬ eler, At the creek a powerful or¬ chestra of frogs were keeping up a deafening noise. On every side could be heard the weired notes of the scrlchowl. Birds fluttered among the branches, and snakes glided off among the reeds, but all this seemed very amusing to a hor¬ rible laughing owl,that was perched upon a dead poplar, keeping up his continued “Jut! ha! li.U” “Now you boys hate yor hooks, an <■_ ,i „ Otar n hor dar Gar hv Oy dnt Gal loir log, and an stickde . poles in de bank, an be inity Htil] „„ watch de “ cork; ’ an we will be sho ter git er big string. Wen you hears de frogs er hollering, an sees de mellow bugs er skeeting on de top ob de water it ez er mighty good sign. An ef you catch er crawfish be slio an save ’em, fer ever one you catch ez good fer two mud cats.” Of all the “tisli holes” along the creek, tills was the most frequented. The creek made a sudden turn here, leaving a broad still place next to the bank, that contained an inex¬ haustible supply of mud cat. They bit well on the night of which we write; all of us had caught over twenty ancl they were biting, when Uncle Mose was seen to slowly draw his line near the bank, and then to reach down and drag out a huge turtle by the tail. “Dar ez no use er you snapping an trying to be so raanish. 1 knose wen you catch hold uv er fellow you holds him tel it thunders. But I’se caught er turkel fore dls. You ole scaly back rascal, I knose you lias sum ob ebery kind uv meat in your ole rusty shell; and Ttiar knose jes how to fix it up. Come right erlong honey, dar aitit no| usen yer snap- pin’ an orbiting uv the ground. I dun mean ter let yer git back, kase you ez wuf ’.all de fish we’s gwine ter ketch, Mon, one uv you boys hit de ole rascal on de bed wid dat stick an stun him an den 1 will cut his ole loggy bed off.” Having dispatched with the tur¬ tle Uncle Mose decided he had a- bout as many fish as he wanted, so proceeded to wind up his tackle. But Jake was not satisfied; lie had not roasted the eggs, which lie would have told Uncle Mose: “Dat Ole Miss gid ’em to me fer finding er hen nest.” 8o to get even with the old man for leaving so early,he unobserved attached a calico string to the turtle.head and placed it in one of the old fellows shoes. Uncle Mose always wore his shoes to the creek on account of snakes, but up¬ on his arrival at the water he laid them off. It was not Jong before Uncle Mose was heard to give a yell, and then began to kick and roll and tumble and turn summer saults, with the turtle head fast on his middle toe. He capered around in this way for fully five minutes, when finally, after beating out the light and frightening the frogs into silence, the toe gave way and the turtle head went whizzing through the darkness, “Oh, lordy have mercy on poor ole Moses sole! fer he is er dead nigger ills time sho. Tell Riar how er great big moccoson crailed in one ob my shoes an was the casion ov me deth,” “But Uncle Mose— “No chile you kin do nuffin fer de ole man now. Me leg ez as big as me body alius uz. 1 kin feel de swelling gifting in me body an me tongue. De ole man won’t be here | many mii utes. Jake, you tell yo mammy an all de res good by. Tell ’em thank the lord de ole man died de deth ob de righteous,” “But say: you are not snake bit: you are not going to die.” “Den wliat mean ail dis swelling and dis blood on me loot? Sides didn’t T see an feel dat great big ole ! streaked moccoson er hanging to me toe.” “That was the turtle head Jake put in your shoe.” “Was dat some ob Jake’s debil- ment ? I’ll teach him whose shoe he puts turkle heads in.” But Jake had comprehended the situation, and stole one the old man - s i arf , est flgh forhi8 “ nia mmy” an( j h a( i retreated out of reach of the Mtickg the old man sent after 0. “l’ ve heard of‘an eye for an eye,’ i a tooth for a tooth,’ etc., but I nea- er heard of ‘a hand for a hand’ until to-day,” said a young man to a friend. “How did it happen ?” “I was calling at the house of uny best girl and had mustered upcour- a ge to ask her for her hand.” “And you got it?” “Got it! No. Didn’t the old man come in the parlor and give me his.”—Tid-bits. -- Atlanta is the third largest snuff market in the world. London comes first, New York next, and Atlanta third.

(Concluded.) Every ear in the court-room was attending upon the measured utter¬ ances of tin* speaker while over the faces of tlic two litigants a softened expression had replaced the defiant one of but a few minutes before. Continuing, the Judge said as lie spread before him one of the topo¬ graphical maps: “i need no surveyor to enlighten me about the lay of land or the run- ning of tin* dividing line fence. have walked, I think, over every foot of these fields and climbed ev ery panel ol the fence. This chestnut tree—what sport iiave we not had chunking down its fruit to tie proudly taken to three certain little girls at school—the first love either of us hail, 1 remember the plaintiff being once a little chopfall- en at having but a half handfull of chestnuts to take to his girl and that the defendant generously divided with him his larger supply. It was from this tree tin* defendant had the misfortune to fall and dislocate an ankle, causing him severe pain, which so distressed the plaintiff that lie shed more tears out of sympathy for liis little playfellow than did the wounded one himself. It was in the little pond back of the gin house woods that we fished for horny- headsand into a deep part of whicli I oi.ee unexpectedly plunged and in my fright, might have drowned but for the life-saving crew com¬ posed of the plaintiff and defendant. All, those were charming days. The memory of them is far sweeter than is the experience I am now un¬ dergoing of seeing my two loving chums of the old standing opposed malignant contestants, in a court of law, each with lawyers employed to say unkind things of the other. “Pardon this digression from the proposition I started to make which is this: that I lie invested by plain¬ tiff and defendant with unlimited arbitrative authority to decide this case. Will you, the plaintiff and you the defendant, relegate 10 me this power ? My heart revolts from tlie hearing of any word from any one intended to detract from the in¬ tegrity and honor of either of you. Neither of you have done any wrong by design; I know you both and do not believe that the earth holds, to day, two men of more unimpeacha¬ ble rectitude. Each of you consider himself aggrieved by the other and both have all the quality of stub¬ bornness comporting with proud manhood. Both have been angered by distorted reports carried back and forth by certain gossips which, unhapily, exist in even the best of communities. “I ask of plaintiff and defendant that you will consent to dismiss the witnesses, counsel mid jury and that, now and here, I be authorized to adju dicate this difference be¬ tween you, Gentlemen, will you grant this favor to your old friend?” Instantly and simultaneously plaintiff and defendant came to their feet and both answered “I do.” “I thank you both,” responded the judge in a broken tone of voice, while his eyes were not noticeable for dryness, “Now,” looking toward the defendant, “you come and stand at my right side, here, at the bench, and you” addressing plaintiff,“stand in a like position at my left.” He shook a hand of each as they came beside him and the several hundred people in the court room appeared undecided whether smiles or tears were more appropriate, for some certainly straddled the ques¬ tion by indulging in both. The judge with the map- before him, pointing to the dividing line be¬ tween the two plantations, directed that the plaintiff should maintain the fence to a certain point and the defendant tear down his along that distance, and that beyond that point the defendant should maintain the fence while the plaintiff should pull down iliat he had built. “Your fa¬ thers” he said, “had a single fence that w ay and you will do well to ‘remove not the ancient landmarks that your fathers have set.’” The trifling damage which had been the one item of the original suit the judge did not even refer to, but eliminated it along with amend¬ ments to complaint and answer by saying “Life Is too short for any part of it to be fritted away over these vaporings of lawyers’ invention.” Then folding the map the judge ask¬ ed “Gentlemen, do you accept the verdict rendered as conclusive?” The defendant answered “yes” as the plaintiff said “I do.” “Once again I thank you both,” w r as said with evident emotion, and then, rising from his chair, the added, “Now there is one ex¬ tra judicial request I have to make of you. In the name of the friend- ship between our fathers and ap- pealing as over their graves in the little church yard; in remembrance of our cordial companionship in childhood, youth and early mau- hood; for the sake of the friend who s tiH i ()Ves anf ) honors you other’by both l as k that you take each one hand.” As their right hands met iu orous clasp the hands of the judge clasped them over and under. So they stood for a full half minute which time the Judge required for regaining his self jmssexslon; then as tire hands were unjoined, he unids “There is one point yet to he attend- od to, the fonts have not been vlded for; but there shall he no dis¬ pute uhout that; Mr. Clerk,” lie ad¬ dressed that official “you will please foot up the cost accrued in this case and hand the footing to me. I shall pay them myself,” As very serious or pathetic passa¬ art* sometimes succeeded by mirthful ones, so the scene, to this time full of pathos, now became a decidedly humorous one, for in the same instant plaintiff and defend- ant pressed toward the clerk each clamoring that he himself should pay. Such was their earnestness ami such the contrast from their re¬ cent contention that the judge, af¬ ter a quick glance at their faces, was seized with a tit of hearty laughter in which t he audience joined hear¬ tily. When quiet was restored the Judge said: “Well, let me settle this disputed point also. I direct the cost be equally shared by plain¬ tiff and defendant.” And so ended “The Line Fence Suit;" but what a different one would have transpired at the end, had these irate farmers kept up a useless and expensive lit¬ igation, without a thought of yield¬ ing on either side, and a refusal to compromise. Finally, no doubt, both farms would have been swal lowed up by court costs and law¬ yer’s fees. The cheapest, happiest and best plan to settle differences arising between neighbors is to com¬ promise in a spirit of brotherly kindness, always meeting half-way concesssons made in such a spirit - APPOINTMENTS.
