THE MERCURY. TUESDAY, FEB. 1, 1881. 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. Randali, Franklin Sandersville, Jan. 24th 1881. 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.— Ex," Hr. Gallagher's First Lesson on Holler Skates. Boston Post. his aftectionare wife and children when he hadn’t done nothing! Oli ""empora 0. Mores. Well Me. I cpect it will be ot interest to 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* Sheriff Sales.

A. Hooks Iron King, No. 7, $25.00 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.” for tlio ubo of I'.

It lias drifted over the fences, hiding them from view, and blocking up the roads entirely. The farmers have been obliged to out down shade trees near their farm houses and use thorn for fire wood as tho snow prevented them hauling from the woods. Great suffering is said to have prevailed among tho poor people. In one sjctiou over the foot of the Blue Uidge, just where the Leesburg 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.
