| Uncle Mose Expounds the
Scripture.
Jim Webster, a saddle-colored
sport provoked a quarrel wilb old
Uncle Mose, and tbo consequence
was that tbo old man goo on bis
muscle and gave Jim a fearful
pounding. They were howevc,
separated by mutual friends before
any very serious damage bad been
done.to either oi these distinguished
colored citizens,
‘You got de better of me dis time,
said Jim, wiping tbo end of_ bis
nose with bis elbow, and examining
it to seo if thrive waa any blood on
it. Mbit ar is de fust time 1 eber
1; no wed the bind leg ob a mule to
grow outen de slioulder of 8 rheu
matic old niggab.'
‘Dat am‘t lut,‘ responded old
Mose. running his arm through a
hole in his cont in his efforts to
put it on. De trouble is you don't
search de script tiros
What's dat got to do wid ilia
pusonal altercaslmn ?
You asked me to light yer didn't
yer ?
Dat's a fact.
And you kuookod me fust, didn't
yer ?
Denis de korrect returns.
Well, den, ei'you had searched
do Bible you mout had knowed in

result ob do campaign.
Will yer please expound dat aro,
Uncle Mose ?
De Bible says, ask and ye shall
receive, knock and yo shall ba
knocked. You asked, and you go l
it, didn't yer ? You knocked and
yer g t de wind and some of ye,r
teef knocked, didn't yer V I tell

Teacli them to be Polite.
Train your children to be polite
at home, ami you will never have
cause to blush at their rudeness
abroad. The rosy .cheeked boy
and girl and the sir eng and vigor
ous young man who sit in their
comfortable seats in crowded cars,
while gray beaded grandfathers
and grandmothers tug at the
straps, are poor commentaries on
home training. Nothing is cheaper
than politeness, and nothing pays
hotter. It should not. ho taught be
cause it. pays but from principle,
jfli ! young man who is negligent of
his mother and sister at homo, or
the sister who is selfish or tui
thoughlfnl, will be no blessing to
any other home into which they are
engrafted, until ‘they unloiun what
they have learned amiss.' This is
often difficult and annoying, and
robs life of its sweethours and its
richest gifts. Train your children
jn politeness and unselfishness in all
little tilings, and the greater will
.come without an effort.
A Lucky Thing-:
Asa citizen was feeling his way
up Decatur afreet one dark night
last week, ho suddenly made out
the form of a man only a few feet
away. After a halt and an embar
rassing silence bo called out;
Say you !
Yes.
Are you an honest man ?'
Yes, aro you ’!
Yes.
Have yon got any money?
Not. a red. How is it with you ?
I'm also dead broke. Ho>, are
yon armed*?
With a club. How are you ?
I've got a club, too. What a
lucky tiling it is that we spoke to
other. If either of us had been a
robber we might have killed our
man and not got a cent!'
Taxation.
The law of Taxation is universal.
Its justice is in its equality. It is
the hardest money to pay m all
the catalogue of expenditures, but
its benefits are reciprocal in its
protection of life, liberty and prop
erty. Notwithstanding that the
law in Georgia requires the giving
in of all taxable property at its true
value, the penalty of dereliction is
not certain, consequently the
amount of evasion and duplicity
prdiced, is alarmingly frequent,
and discreditable to the moral
character of man. If property in
every instance was given in at its
true market value, the burdens of
taxation on the tax payers would be
light. But how it is to bo accom
plished is a mystery beyond finding
out, Human nature is peculiar.—
