B.. U r COLUMBUS GA TALBOTTOY, TALBOT COUNTY, GA., TUESDAY. MAY 17, 1881. | 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 advance what was gwine to bode result ob do campaign. Will yer please expound dat aro, Uncle Mose ?

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.— Marietta Journal, On a tombstone in California: 'This is sacred to tlis memory of [ William Henry Skarukiu who cnim i to his iletb shot by Colts revolver— j one of the Old kind, Brass mourn j ted—an of suteh is the kingdom of !

A citizen of Richmond, Virginia, being asked in London how his town had flourished sineo the full of the Southern Confederacy, re plied: ‘Oh, exceedingly well; wo live on red herrings and glorious recollections ! A young lady gives the follow ing catalogue of different kinds of love. ‘The sweetest, a mother's love, the longest, a brother's love, the dearest a man's love, and tlie sweetest, longest, strongest, dear est love, a love of a bonnet.' There is no greater fool than he wbo thinks himself wise; no one \vi ser than lie suspects he is a fool. A young lady at a bull called her beau an Indian, because lie was ou her trial all the time, ‘Model wives formerly took ‘a stitch in time—now, with the aid of a sewing machine, they take in no time. A boy is never so happy as when the family is moving, and ho can walk through the streets to tho new house wearing a chair' on his head. That's the only way mast boys can sit ou a chair. It, has been estimated that the common fly moves its wings Tit) times per second and 19,800 times per minute.

In the year 1810 there was no summer. There were sharp frosts every month. Com was so frozen that, a great deal was out down for fodder. The female plan tiff in a Western divorce suit was asked upon taking the stand and prior to begin sworn, if site believed in a future life. M used to,'site answered, ‘but since I was warned I've had all tho tiono soiiso taken out of ate.' An old farmer on being informed that one of his neighbors owe I him a grudge, growled out: ‘No mattir, bo never pays anything. An Arkansas girl refused to mar ry her lover unless he performed some heroic deed. He eloped with her mother. Mat ringe keeps men out of mis chief so does a ball and chain. Nothing is so embarrassing as the tirst tete-a-tete, when there is everything to sav, unless it bo the hist, when everything has been said. The pebbles 'in our path weary us and make ns foot-sore, more than the rocks which requires only a b ilrl effect to surmount.

A merhant waa playing cards with a railroad official, who was rather sleepy at the time. I pass, said the merchant. Tho railroad man was awake in an "instant. No you don't said he, ‘not ou thi3 line.
