THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW !
The revision of the Yngrftnt law !
Cold nutnred but worm hearted !
My Dear Me.—I must confess
to you that I am a little disappoin
ted in becoming a tax payer of
your interesting city. I had a 2nd
cousin once moved to town. He
told me he never should regret that
move. He said lie had not been a
resident ot that place more than
two weeks before nearly everybody
gave him a present of something.
We have been here now that long
Me, and with the exception of Mr.
M. II., I have not been placed un
der a single obligation, he said he
was so glad at seeing mo every day
that he presented me with a fine
wido brimmed hat. That hat will
he worn in Atlunta next July should
nothing prevent. Well Me, ns I
write you these affectionate lines
I gaze out in the direction of Brau-
hamvillo and there is scarcely any
thing visible but snow. This morn
ing Mrs. Franklin, who by the
way, has been tryiug her levolest
for the last six years to get me in
to the habit of early rising, punch
ed me with her elbow, and not by
any means in a very affectionate
manner, says she “Mr. Franklin
get up and go out and get up some
light-wood splinters for mo to get
breakfast with.*' After tolling her
it was not etiquetto and good man
ners to be getting up soon in town,
1 shivered out in obedience to the
powers that be, and while there
scratching through the sleet and
Snow I thought to myself that that
fellow who wrote that piece and
ended every verse with “oh, the
bhow the snow, the beautiful snow”
ought to have frozen to death in
somebody's mill pond, I used to
be cracked enough to think it
Was a beautiful piece of poetry
myself, but if there is anything
beautiful in It, (I mean the snow;
2 am perfectly willing to miss
all this style of beauty for the
uext 12 months. I was boru in
the temperate-zone on the 82d
degree of latitude at that, and '
tell you this continued and nev
er ending frigidity don’t exactly
agree with my temperate pro
clivitiee, 1 always was cold nat-
ured and like Major J. S. never
like to rise of a morning with,
out a good- tire. Another reas*
on I always thought,of mybeing
so easily chilled, was a want of
alcoholic stimuli in my arterial
Circulation, I have suggested
that idea . to Mrs Franklin
several times, but she says it is
for the want of daily exercise.-
She may be right about this pe>
culiarity of mine,Mo you always
had the appearance of being
cold natural, I dont mean hard
hearted Me, understand, but
like me thin blooded, I don’t sup
pose there are two more open
and charitable hearted men to
be started in Sandersville than
we are. Me did you see that
fellow Col. D, brought in town
yesterday, handcuffed ? Well
dir when I saw him my heart
began to palpitate and jump up
and down, and my sympathetic
perve began to excite my venous
circulation. Thinks I to myself,
well poor fellow you have killed
a whole family, or stole a whole
drove of horses, or committed
polygamy, or killed a nigger, or
Something else vehemently aw
ful, I was almost afraid to in
quire of that mad looking officer
that had him in charge, what he
was guilty Of, to my great as
tonishment I ascertained from
the sheriff that the great trouble
with the unfortunate-fellow was
he had I been manacled and
brought to Jail because he
would’ nt do anything. .Well-Me
I have'nt told Mrs, franklin a
Word about this transaction.
If she was to find it out and
I'll bet she does. She’ll have ma
jor Tapper or Col. Little to
mould out a $5j>air for domestic
purposes and when I don’t gin
around to suit her she’l hang era
up within the angle of my vis
ion. The idea of handcuffing : a
man and bringing him away from
Ilia OTTA/lt ■ /vn <1 mm mm f J *1*
yon and mo that I should intro
duce a local bill nt the next ses
sion of the Legislature in regard
to this vagrant statute. Well I
was amused nt our venerable vor-
Shcriff when this man had been
delivered into his hands for safe
keeping. As Major M- started
down the street he looked over
his shoulder at the prisoner and
says lie in a very threatening ton e
“don’t you run sir !” Well that
was funny, the idea of a man ta
ken up for vagfnney running,well,
well, well.

NATURAL HISTORY OF AN
EDITOR.
“What ferocious looking animal
is that?”
“That is the editor.”
“Indeed? Are they very dan
gerous?”
Sometimes. When cornered
up they have been known to be
quite combative, and again they
have been known to go through a
convenient back window. Gener
ally they are mild and passive."
“When are they most danger
ous?”
When intruded upon by a
book agent who wants a seventy-
live line local for a forty cents
book, or when intruded upon by a
poet with a poem about gentle
spring.”
“Arc editors cross to each oth
er?’
“Only when separated by sev
eral blocks of buildings.”
“Do they often have fearful com
bats with each other?”
“Occasionally they go out in
opposite directions and meet by
chance."
“Arc editors ever cowhidcd?”
“Sometimes the little ones me,
but the big ones arc rarely moles
ted.”
“Do editors eat?
“They do. It was fomcrly sup
posed that they ate at long inter
vals, but it is an authenticated fact
that they can eat a great deal when
they can get it.”
“What kind of food do thoy
like most?”
“They are not very particular
While they won’t refuse quail on
toast, fried crab or roaRt turkey
about Christmas time, they have
been known to make a hearty re
past off a dish of cold turnips and
and a consumptive herring.”
“Can they eat concert tickets?”
“We believe not. Some pco
pie have this erroneous impression
from false teachings in cary life,
but no authenticated instance of
such a thing is on record."
“Do editors go free into shows?”
“They do when' they give a dol
lar and a local for a twcuty-ilvc
cent ticket.”
“Are all editors bald?”
“No, only ma-iried ones arc
bald, but let us pass on, the editor
does not like to be started at.—

The circumstances are as follows:
M-r. Gallagher had to take a train
that left at 0 o,clock, and soli
arose before daylight, to break
fast, and thought that he would
put oil his thick boots instead of
the very light shoes he had on
over evening. Now it seems
that Gallagher's son had worn the
old man’s boots while roller skating
and had left the skates on th
boots, and in the darkness, Galla
gher didn’t notice this fact as he
pulled the boots on, though he
thought the boots felt heavy. He
then groped his way to the head of
the stairs, the skates making no
trouble on the carpets- Then h
started to go down stairs. He got
there dreadfully sudden. He was
terribly annoyed as lie picked him
self up and said very wicked things
began to slip, butlic struggled like
a hero and clutched the air wildly
to keep his balance 1 No use. As
he fell forward, lie wildly' grabbed
the table cloth, and, as a result, yan
ked the entire breakfast upon him.
The hot tea scalded him, the pep
per got in his eyes, the mustard
|ii his mouth and the eggs all over
him. Ilis cries were fearful. They
hauled him from the derbis and
started to put him to bed when
they discovered the rollers. Mr. G.
was terribly used up, but he started
at once to find his son and the lad’s
sighing over hss great grief was
heard six blocks away*

PETER’S PRAYER.
(American Messenger.)
It was one ot the shortest pray
ers recorded in the Bible—only
three words—and yet it brought
an immediate answer.
What was it in those words,
“Lord, save me,” that secured
such a prompt and effectual res
ponse?
It was in humble prayer. Peter
knew that he was beginning to
sink— that he was utterly help
less in the midst of angry waves
which were ready to swallow him
up, and he was willing to ac
knowledge his helplessness. In
that surldcn, sharp cry for help he
did aeknowledge it 1
It was sincere prayer for just
the thing that he wanted. Those
three significant words went exact
ly to the point of his need. He
wanted to be saved, and without
any vain repetition of unmeaning
words lio cried,“ Lord, save
me!”
If he had had time enough, he
might have said, “O, thou omnip
otent Itulor of the universe, in
thine infinite compassion conde
scend to stretch out thino Al
mighty arm for the succor of one
ot thy feeble children.” But such
a prayer could not have received
better answor than the
simple, pointed one that he did
utter.
May we not learn from this ex
ample to say just what wo mean
when we come before tho Lord,
and to call upon him in a few
words when we have no time for
more? But while we rejoice in
this privilege, let us guard our
selves against the mistake of sup
posing that a short prayer is nec
essarily better than 'a long one.
Three words will not ordinarily
bo enough to cover all our needs.
“But thou, when thou nrayest,
enter into thy closet, anil when
thou hast shut thy door, pray.”

A dispatch from Middlcburg.

fences, hiding them from view, and
blocking up the roads entirely.
The farmers have been obliged to

suffering is said to have prevailed
among tho poor people. In one

turnpike crosses tho mountains, an
aged woman lived with her young
grandson in a small house a mile
away from tho nearest dwelling.
She was completely shut in by the
snow drifting down from the
mountain, and for several days
was without food. Being reduced
to starvation, and knowing that
any relief party would not be able
to find her house, she cut a hole
