Tile Luck of Impoliteness ß
Yesterday afternoon, shortly nf-
I tor the arrival of the train, a man
j entered a hotel in this city and
1 asked the clerk who stood busying
himself with a patent blotter, the
terms upon which he could engage
board.
Owing to the location of your
room, sir. Big demand for our
rooms Feed well.
I don't care so much about the
eaten 1 part, replied the man. I‘m
forty odd years old, and have been
eaten' about all my life. Il‘s get
tiu‘ to be an old thing to me.
Well, say, give mo a respectable
room—how much'll you charge ?
Jnst yourself, sir ?
Well, in a manuer.
Twenty-dive dollars per month, in
caso you are alone.
You see, it's this way; My wife
will be with me,as times are pretty
tight I concluded to arrange it in
this way: I’ll take breakfast, my
wife will take dinner, nml we'll
throw up—wet or dry for supper.
By that means wo can botli get
hoard for one price. Brecon I'm a
little the best manager you ever
seed.
Fifty dollars for the two.
I don't understand that sort of
‘rithmertio. Beth together, we'd
only oat tho meals allowed for one
person. It, don't hurt a bed any
more for two people to sloop on it
than one. I've got a bed ont in
the country that was presented to
nr V wife when wo got married, and
I'll bo dinged if it ain't just as
good as new. It's one of these
old fashioned beds, with high, yal
ler posts on the tops as big as
young pumpkins. I'll furnish the
rooms with this bed and one chair.
My wife can sit on the floor. I'vo
lived in the country all my life, and
havin' made a lit tlu money last
year, I concluded to come in town
and splurge a little. Thar's a wo
man down the country that Ims all
tho time boon buckin' agin my wife,
and i o git away with her >vo have
concluded to hoard at a hotel.
Fifty dollars .per month is ottr
lowest rates.
How much by tlie year ? I nm
goiu' into tin? business right.
Six hundred dollars.
Tins is wholesale business with
rue. How ranch for ton years.
Six thousand dollars.
That's getlin' down to it. How
touch for twenty years ?
Twelve thousand dollars.
All right mark me down for a
snack right now and cheek it off
for twenty years.
Seo that card ? said the clerk
pointing to the hotel maxim, ot per
sons without baggage are required
to pay in advance.
Oh, I‘vo got the baggage, and
tha man lifted up a carpet bag.
That, won't go.
Won't you take this as security ?
No; get out of boro.
But I want board here twenty
years.
Go on awnv.
11l leave your snide hotel, sir,
but first let mo show you. He lif
ted up his carpetbag, opened it nud
displayed $50,000 in government
bonds.
Yen can stay, sir.
No. I believe not. It takes too
much money to put up in this ho
tel. Guess I'll go round and put
up in a wagon yard.
Ever since Cain gave Abel a clip
with a club people have lost money
by not observing the laws of polite
ness.—Little Rock Gazette.
CanrEiisvli.u: Ex t’uES.-s :—There
is a little brown-eyed, enthusiastic,
high-spirited lady, who, after she
has cooked breskfast, cleared the
things away, set the hooso to rights,
attended tho call of tho bread
wagon, and milked the cow, dons
her hat and cloak, comes into this
office, yanks us out of the editorial
easy (?; chair, pounces on the ex
changes, amputates every item of
interest, stacks them on the copy
hook, grabs up a Faber, travels it
over r, quire of editor's manuscript
paper, removes her snowy-white
apron, shoves up ber sleeves, grabs
a stick aud rule and sets it all into
type, roads tho proofs and correct
every error- That's our wife, and
she will got her reward in heaven.
The lady referred to in the above
was Miss Ella Green, formerly of
Macon.

What Inr-aniperance Docs.
Robert G 1 ngersoll was recently
employed in a case which involved
trie manufacture of ardent spirits
and in his speech to thu jury lie
used the following language:
I am aware there is a prejudice
against any man engaged in the
manufacture of alcohol. I believe
from the time it issues from the
coiled and poisonous worm in the
distillery until into the hell of death
that it ,is demoralizing to every
body that touches it from tho
source, to where it ends, Ido not
believe that anybody can contem
plate tho subject without being
prejudiced against the crime. All
they have to do is to think of the
wrecks on either side of the stream
of death, of the suicides, ot tho in
sanity, of the poverty, of tho do
struction, of the little children tug
ging at the I roast of weeping and
desparmg wives asking for bread,
of the men struggling with imagi
nary serpents produced by tho dev
ilish thing; and when you think of
llm jails, of tao almhouses, of the
asylums, of the scaffolds, on either
bank, I do not wonder that every
thoughtful man is pre-judicated
against the vile stuff callod alcohol
Intemperance cuts down youth
iu its vigor, mauliood in its
strengtn, and age in its weakness.
It breaks the lather's heart betrays
the doting mother, extinguishes
natural affection, erases conjugal
love, blots out filial paternal hope,
and brings down mourning ago in
sorrow to the grave. It produces
weakness, not strength; sickness,
not health; death, not life. It
makes wires widows, children or
phans, fathers fiends, and all of
them paupers and beggars. It
feeds rheumatism nurses gout, wel
comes epidemics, invites cholera,
imports pestilence, and embraces
consumption. It covers the land
with idleness, poverty, disease and
crime. It fills your jails, supplies
your almhouses, and demands your
asylums. It engenders travorsies,
fosters quarrels and cherishes riots.
It crowds your penitentiaries, and
makes the victims to y ur scaffolds,
It is the life-blood of the gambler,
the aliment of the counterfeiter, the
prop of tlio highwayman, and the
support of the midnight incondiary.
It countenances the liar, respects
the thief and esteems the blssplp
mer. It violates obligation, rever
ences fraud, aud honors infamy.
It defames benevolence, hates love,
scorns virtue, and slanders inno-
cence. It excites the father to
butcher his helpless offspring,helps
the husband to massacre his wifo,
and aids the child to grind the par
ricidal axe. It burns up man and
consumes women, defilos life and
corses God nud despises heaven.
It suborns witnesses, nurses per
jury, defiles the jurybox, and
stains the judicial ermine. It
bibes votes, disqualifies voters,
corrupts elections, pollutes our in
stitutions, and endangers our gov
ernment, It degrades the citizens,
debases the legislator, dishonors
the statesman and disarms the pa
triot. It brings shame, not honor;
terror, not safely; despair, not hope;
misery, not happiness. And with
malevolence of a fiend, it calmly
surveys its frightful desolation;
and, insaliated with havoc, it pois
ons felicity, kills peace,ruins morals,
blights confidence, slays reputation
and wipes out national humor and
then curses the world and laughs
at Us ruin.
It does all that and more. It
murders tho soul. It is the sum of
all villanies; the father of crimes;
the mother of all abomination; the
curse of curses; tho devil's best
friend and God's worst enemy.
There is one whole continent-*-
