Tlic Honest Deacon
AX OLD STOUT PUT IN BHTME.
An honest tnan was Deacon Rav
And though a Christian good
He had one fault—the love of drink.
i?or diiuk he often would.
On almost every Sunday, too
He would, at dinner time,
Indulge to quito a great extent
in good Maderia wine.
At church, in front, upon the side,
lii6 deacon hai big pew,
Another worthy, Squire Lee,
He had a seat there too,
One Sunday morn, the sermon done,
i he parson sair’ he’d talk,
In language plain, that afternoon.
Of sms within his flock.
He warned them that they must not
flinch
If hq_ghoqld,he ravere;
Each thought meir neighbor’d get
dressed down.
So all turned out to hear.
The church at rarly hour was full;
The deacon, some behind,
Came in quite late, for he had been
Indulging in his wine.
And ui> the long and good broad aisle
He stiffly tottered on,
And by the time he’d reached his seat
The sermon had begun.
The parson of transgressois spoke,
And of the wrath to flee,
And soon lie to his querry came,
“The drunkard where is he?”
A pause and then the deacon rose,
And answered like a man,
1 hough with a hiccup in his voice:
Here, parson—hie—’ere I am.
Of course the consternation
Was great on every side,
Eor who and have thought the deacon
Would thus aptly have replied!
I lie preacher, not the least disturbed
W ith his remarks kept on.
And warned him to forsake his ways,
The deacon then sat down,
,Twas soon another question came,
W ith no more welcome sound,
“VVhere is the wicked hypocrite?”
This made them all look rcund.
Some looked at this one, some at that,
As if they would inquire
W ho twas that now'the’parson meant;
His eyes were on the squire.
1 lie deacon, noting how things stood,
Turned round and sj oke to Loo:
“Come, squire— hie come you get
. U P’
I did when he called me.”

Southern Cookery.
Dr. H. V. Redfield, who has been
traveling through the South, says: “A
physician in North Alabama, having
a large praegee in the lual districts,
and of necessity stoping among his
patients, tells me that nineteen outot
every twenty of the meals be site down
to are of fried meat and hot bread.
Yet, dyspepsia does not follow to the
extent one would suppose. He thinks
they escape the disease, which such a
diet would seem to invite, by the out
door life they lead. He saysthat dys
pepsia would be an unknown disease
in the Southern States if itwas not for
hot bread and the frying pan. Army
life during the late war cured more
dyspeptics than buliets killed. I
a<-ked the physician why it was that
in the Eastern States, where hot bread
as a steady diet is almost unknown,
dyspepsia was ever more prevalent
than in the Southern States. He said
that it was pie and cake which played
the myschief in that quartet. Pie and
cake worked the same injufy to the
stomachs of the eastern people
hot bread and the frying pan did for
ihe southerners. If anything, it was
worse. He thought he would rather
risk bis digestion upon Soutnern bis
cuit than a New England pie. The
pie was the greatest curse, and amiab
ly killed more people by slowly break
ing down their digestive powers.”

A Good Bear Story.
| For many years there lived in the
town of BroDfiton, Vt., a man by the
natno of Seneca Foster. Although
a man of no more than medium size,
he possessed the most wonderful phy
sical vigor and endurance. No exer
tion or exposure seemed to impair his
health. Mr, Foster’s son Jack inheri
ted much of his father’s strong consti
! tuion and elastic frame. Ono sum
mer day Jack was out hunting in the
vicinity of Island Fond. He tramped
long and far, but without success.—
The woods seemed destitute of gamo.
; Finally ho became discouraged and
started homeward. On his way, as
he was parsing a dense thicket, he
saw two bear cubs asleep. They lay
partially on their sides with nose to I
nose. From one diiectioif it was easy '
to reach them. He knew ho could |
kill them with his gun, but he would
like to capture them alive. The cubs
werelarge enough to show fight, and
perhaps their dam was within cal! rea- 1
dy to interfere. Jack peered cautious- '•
ly about, and not seeing the mother
bear, decided to risk the attempt. — ;
Placing his gun in a position w: ere
he could swing it undor his
aim after he had secured his prey, he
crept softly to the sleeping animals,
and suddenly grasped each by the nose.
He expected in this manner to hold 1
them so tight that they could not
squeal. One of them he .succeeded
iu holding in that manner, but the
other slipped from his grasp. Nothing
daunted, Jack caught him by the
hind log, secured his gun, and start ’d
on the run for home. And t.he end
was not yet.
The cub not liking to be carried by
the hind'leg, sot up a loud complaint,
and the old bear immediately replied
—she was close at hand. Jack heard
her crushing through the brush ufter
him, and he knew now that success
depended on his speed and muscle.—
It was fifty rods to tho clearing, and
he had not more than ten rods tho
start. If was a case cf life or death,
unless he relinquished the cubs, and
ho was not the man to do that. En
cumbered as lie was ho run like a
hound; hut the bear gained on him,
and when he approached the edgo
of the woods Mrs. Bruin was just at
Jlis heels. Jack underiitood his peril.
There was a high i< g fence just at
the edge of the cleaning; lortunately
a large log lay aside tho fence. With
one tremendous bouud Jack loapol on
the log; another muscular bound car
ried him over tho fence into the field.
The bear was or. the fence as soon as
Jack struck the ground. But she
hesitated a moment about following
him in the open field, and he sped
away so fast that she final'y turned
back into the woods, and Jack escaped
to relate his exploit and verily it
by the exhibition of his captive cubs.
On another occasion Jack was in
the woods, on his way home from sap
trees, whore he had been boiling ma
ple sugar. It was a mild day in
March. The snow was six feet deep,
and the warm spring air had softened
the surface so that no one ’could walk
on it without snow shoes, a pair of
which Jack had on his feet. Tie was
unarmed- As he walked on he came
to a fallen tree directly in his way.—
He stepped upon it, hut just as he did
so a large bear rose up behind it, and
rushed at him with open jaws. The
warm air had roused the creature
from her winter sleep, and eho was
furious with hunger. Taken wholly
by surprise Jack gave a tremendous
leap, which carried him a distance of
ten feet from the trunk of the tree.—
3ut he sank deeply into the snow, and
the bear was upon him before be
could extricate himself. Then the bat
tle began, man and beast rolling over
and over each other in a desperate i
struggle. As often as the bear tried
to seize him with his teeth, or over
power him with the fatal hug, Jack !
would save himself by kicking her
on the nose with his 6tiow shoes. Fi_ j
nallv, with one fierce plunge of claws
and teeth, the brute fastened upon
Jack, ryid, failing to hold him tore off
almost all his clothing at a single
sweep. Fortunately just at that mo
ment be hit the tip of her nose with
a most powerful kick. A biow on the
end of the nose causes pain so acute
as to disable a bear for a time, and it
had tba* eff ct in this case. The biute
gave back a little, aod, while she was
winching under the pain, Jack re
gained his feet and gut several steps
away. His assailant started after
him again, but the snow was so soft
she almost buried herself at eve.y,
step, wile Jack walked on the surface
and escaped So his snow shoes,
which rendered him a c'umsy fighter,
finally saved his life. —is msl $ Slrtam,

John Duchoslay was a Bohemian
from Bohemia, and not one of the
wandering tribe who have taken the
name Bohemians. Duchoslay was a
prosperous tailor. A few yers ago he
married a widow, tried his best
to make her forget her former husband.
But the woman Lad a memory that
would not be blotted out by any
amount of present living affection.—
She was in the habit of visiting her
first husband’s grave and strewing it
flowers aud watering them with her
tears- Douchosiay did not like these
marks of undying affection in his
wife. They were uncomfortable acts
and made him melancholy. The other
day the wife prepared to go to the
cemetery to moke her customary of-
ferings of fioweis and tears at the
tomb of her first spouse. She asked
her husband to go abng with her and
participate in these memorial exerci
ses. Duchoslay refused to go, and
appeared to be more than usually
annoyed at the request. The wife
went alone, and did what she doubt
less thought was her duty, as well as
the bent of her heart. Duchoslay
went into his room, and bolted the
door himself. When the wife return
ed from celebrating her memorial
day she found said room door locked,
end could get lo answer from within.
The door was forced, and there hung
Duchoslay by a skein of black thread
to the top of a wardrobe, quite dead.
Duchoslay was jealous of a grave. —
Mrs. Duchoslay abuudoned a living
husband for the memory of a dead
one, and the result is she has two
darling graves uoov upon which to be
stow a wealth of flowers aud tears.—
Her cup of happiness ought to be full.
St. Louis Republican.
The Athens Georgian has a full ac
count of the finding of a dead baby
tied up in a bag, which was fished
out oi the muddy waters of the Oco
nee. Detectives went to work on the
case. They ascertained that a Mrs.
Freeman, living near the Georgia
railroad, gave birth to a child last
Sunday niorniog, a week ago, and to
ho- house the officers first p ud a visit,
and on making known their business,
she stoutly denied the accusation; but
on being told they knew better, she
finally admitted that she gave birth
to a child about 7 o’clock on the above
mentioned day; that shortly aftor
wards a negro woman took it away,
and that she had not seen it since.—
The officers told her that her story
was too flimsy, and, on being pressed
to give the whole truth in this dark
affair, she remarked to Chief
that if he would have the room clear
ed, she would tell him all about it;
she then said that Juraea p. White
the father of the child, took it away
about 6even o’clock at night, and that
she never saw it afterwards. Davis
aud Culp being convinced by other re
ports that Mrs. Freeman had told
the truth, at once went in seaich of
Mr. White, and succeeded in|arresting
him and placing him iu jail.
A man named James 0. White
was arrested iD Athena on Tuesday
last charged with infanticide. Itseoms
that the body of a white male infant,
new born, was found floating in the
Oconee river, tied up in a bag. It was
subsequently ascertained that it was
the child of a Mrs. Freeman, living
near the Georgia Kailroad, who ad
mitted having given birth to the child,
whose father was the above mentioned
Wtiite, and who took the child away
immediately after its birth. Whits
is a rnembor of the church, but it
seems tha* he is one of those who steal
the livery of Ileaven to serve the devil
in.

While manipulating the windlass
of a well the other night, a party who ■
had been laying in a stock of whisky
before it was all seized by the police,

Dr. B. was called to visit a lady in

Bud Stewart, in pursuing a buach
of mustangs between Elm and East
Weedy creeks, was thrown from his
j horse. lie wa3 senseless for some
j time. When ho came to himself his
horse was gone and his bruises hurt
I him so badly he could not walk.—
|Ho crawled through the briars and
: brush some fifty yards to a pool of
I water, and remained at the pool that
; night and the next day and night.—
Net a mouthful did he have to eat,
and the water at the pool having given
oaf, he staited in search of more wa
ter. About 12 o’clonk on tho second
day he says ho was so thirsty aud
hungry, and his bruises hurt him so
badly, that he could go no further,
aud to a tree, stretched him
self out to die. While thus contem
plating death, he heard the leaves
shake near him; he tinned his eyes
in the direction of the noise, when, lo!
they espied a largo rattle snake near
him. The sight of the snake banish
ed his hunger, thirst and pain for the
time being, and raising upon his el
bow made an effort to scare his snake
ship away. The snake struck at him
twice and left him, and from some
cause I e did not feel so much like
dying. He said once more, “1 tf ill try
to reach water,” in searching, about
night, he came to the road, and could
go no further. Next morning lie was
found about two miles from home, ly
ing across the road on his face, com
pletely exhausted. He was immedi
ately carried home, a doctor called,
and at last accounts he was doing
well.
Capt. Tomlin, on Tuesday evening
last, after the Votes had all been coun
ted, and upon tho declaration tlia*.
‘the negroes were thoroughly organ
ized, and went.solid against a Conven
tion,” made this startling announce
ment: “Yes, thank God, they are or
ganized, and should remain so for
twenty years to come.” By such de
clarations as these does Captain Tum
lin hope to perpetuate that peace and
amity between’tha racer wo a'.l de
sire to see, n r was lie seeking to start
tho entering wedge for lhe formation
of that new party wo have head him
speak of? If the former his judgment
is grpatly in error, in rur opinion; ii
the latter who will lend them, arut by
what “nomdeplume” shall it be
known. Above the defeat of party
friends and measures, if possible, we
deplore any attempt to alienate the
races, in our midst, and hope Cnpt.
Tu/nlin may modify this declaration
made upon tho heels of an axciting
and vigorous campaign. We cannot
think Capt. Tumlin desires to see, or
would rejoice in the fact, that the ne
groes were organized in opposition to
the whites on any issue,— Cuthbert Ap

A*k Use Old Woui tn
A gentleman traveling out West re
lates the following:
Biding horseback just at night
through the woods in tiignor county,
Michigan, I came into the clearing, in
the middle of which stood a log house,
its owner sitting in the door smoking
his pipe. Stopping my hoise before
him the lollowir g conversation ensu
ed :
“Good evening, sir,” said I.
“Good evening.”
“Can I get a glass of milk from
you to drink.”
“Well, I don’t know . Ask the old
woman.”
By this time his wife was standing
at his sidm
“Oh, yes, said she, of course you
can ”
While drinking it I asked;
“Think we ore going to have a
storm V”
“Well, I really don ( t know. Ask
the old woman —she can toll.”
“I guess we shall get cue right
away, she said ”
Again I asked:
“How much laud have you got
cleared Lore?”
“Well, I realy don’t know. Atk'ho
old woman—she knows.”
“About ninjeen acres,” she said
again answering.
Just then a troop of children came
running and shouting around the cor
ner of tiie shanty.
“All these yourchildren t" said I
“Don't know. Ak the old woman
—she knows.”
I did not wait to hear any reply,
but drew up the reins aud left imme
diately.
A clergyman recently moused his

Killing Cabbage Worms.
Every year we get a tie# batch rt
remedies for the cabbage worm— it
rather, we get a rehash of the same
old romedies, and every year, afte#
trying one or more of them, we all go
back to the oldest remedy of all, the
thumb and finger. “Try ag'.in,’ how
ever, is a good motto, so we now give
one more “certain cure.” It is given
by a correspondent of the New York
Tribune, aud is this; “In -Juno, iti go
ing though my early cabbages, I
found one completely covered with
the worms. I immediately obtained
a handfull of bran and sprinkled it
over the head. The worms began to
squirm and fall off the cabbage, and
whenever the brati touched them they
seemed to be iu pain. The following
morning they were all deaid. Since
that time on the first appearance of
the worm, I sow the bran-—Some sea
sons it may be necessary to do it the
second time, if the worths ht’o vdtfy
thick it is better to take a handfull
and sprinkle it over the cabbage. A
hundred weight is ample for an acre.”
This is simple, cheap and easily tried.
Positively it may be the frery thing
wo havo b*-en looking for.
Potato Planting.
Don’t wait fot raid to plane sweet
potatoe slips if your ground has Btty
moisture left in it, or if you can get
water enough to pour half a piht into
each hill. Letjtho
and when you draw slips from the bed
dip the roots of them into a jpuddle
which you have made with fresh ina
nue and rich earth. This puddle
should bo about the consistency of
cream, so that enough will adhere fo
the loots to entirely coverthem. Vines
may be put out during the dry wi ath
er by pouring a half pint or more of
water into each liiil immediately aftCr
planting. Sweet potatoes are of easy
growth—derive a large portion of
their subsistence from the atmosphere,
and therefore do not greatly esbaust
the soil; indeed, it is maintained that
they constantly improve instead of
ozhaustiDgthe soil. Exper’enced far
mers ought to know whether this is
true or not. An old farmer once told
us that he alternated sugar-cane and
sweet pofatot s on a piece of grouud,

How to Increase I lac Flow df
Milk.
A lady correspondent, Writing U3
from Arkansas, gives ns the following,
excellent recipe to increase the flow of
miik in a cow, and we can heartilyen- 1
dorse it, for we have seen it tried. She
says; “Tepid water slightly salted
given twice a day will increase the
flow of milk one-third; if the cow will
not drink it at first trial scatter a
handful of bran or meal over the top
cf it. They soon become very fond ol
it, and will dtiuk all you give them. I
tried this plan three years ago with
perfect success. I had only one cow,
and she was of the common scrub
stock of the country, aud alter she be
gan to diink the water,| prepared as
above, she furnished me twice a
day two bucket* full
of milk, and by feeding a little corn
boiled with cottOD seed the milk yield
ed butter enough to aupply ray table
bountifully and leave rue a few pounds
to sell every week. I gate her three
gallons of water twice a day.”— SofA

The Maci n Telegraph says that Mf.
John A. Nelson has been successfully
engaged in the raising of Italian bees
in connection with his farming opera
tions. He had forty stands on May
Ist, which produced 1,000 pounds of
extracted honey and 1,000 pounds of
comb during hat month. During the
fifat Week of the present month he ex
tracted 500 pounds of honey and 1,000
pounds of box comb htmey besides
selling several swutais, Mr. Nelson’s
experience proves that with proper at
tention the farmer can readily produce
honey much cheaper than he can pro
duce tiie most ordinary molasses. He
has discovered a plau for expelling
the worm, which ie usually so des
tructive to the comb, which he will
write out in a few days by special re- 1
