A perfect Killy add Cliiinrbodioe, and I’m kept bobbin’, iu sparit, frog*. one hr t'other nil the time. Why don’t you any somethin’, David ? And Aunt Ut‘l>- sey squarod herself around, hand* on l.er hips, and flared fiercely t him. llnele David Said nothing. Perhaps because he did not understand exactly who or what a “Killy and Ohnry-bodiee” might be, and wisely concluded to steei“olettr of whoals. The irate old ludy went on: “There’s John Bramer, too, settin’ there all day by the tire, doin’ nothin’ but pore over n little mite of a doutorin’ Book—‘Home-patlice' he calls it —and talus specks of pills not biggern' a pin head; jest ns it they could do anybody nuy good !"- and the old lady glared U|> into the uir a if there was a mas up there anil she expected him to controvert this covert condemnation, and was pre pared to knock him out of time immedi ately if he did. Finding that no answer made its appearance, however, she looked down upon the placid Uncle David and continued: ••You needn’t tell me, David; a’poaen he is your old friend’s son, an’ is rich, an’ pays well for his board. That ain’t no reason why he should sit down an’ give himself up to notions, an make up bis mind lie’s got cancers on liis liver an' foom-biies hi his stomach, an’ I don't Si now what ailiu’ him besides. ’Taint nothin’ the matter with him but imagina tion, l believe, an’ if he was told of it ’twonid do him more good'n all his home pttthee, I know. He’s jist as well as 1 am. Dispepee I uinph ! what business lias a strong young feller like him got to have nerves anyway ? An’ then he won’t toko nothin to do him any good. I fixed him up a nice bowl of boneset tea, an’ lie wouldn’t take it, but swallercd an extra dose of them little pills inste'd.” And being now pretty well out of breath Aunt Hepsey rested her case and fixed her eyes upon the clouds, as though giving her opponent in the air one more chance to come to time. Undo David, taking advantage of the pause, cut in ahead and nuid: “Now, Hisjwoy, don’t be so hard on the young BUtti. 1 guess ho' sick, and we ought to have more charity" (dear old Uncle David; just us if ho did not have hunity for everybody)—“for him than we do. You know ho ain't got no mother, uor no father, nor no friend, anyway leastwise,” the old gentleman added, thoughtfully, as ho rubbed the end of his uose- a trick 1m lmd -“leastwise none that will do him any good; plenty of them wild fellers lie knows —too many of ’em for his good.” “What is the man talking about ?" in terrupted Aunt Hepsey, apparently much iuceused at her failure to extract a reply •from the clouds. "It's mor’n two year siliee he’s been with any of 'them w ild oat chaps, an’ it’s my opinion that if he’d kept away from ’em in the tlrst place he’d a been tough now, iuste'd of havin’ to take so many of them littlo pills to brace him up. Urnph 1 the idee of them things a bracin’ anybody up !” By the glances she oast heavenward, it was evident the gpod lady was firmly per suaded this would fetch the answer she expected if anything would, and, figu ratively speaking, she prepared to leave it not a leg to stand on. Uncle David rublied his nose slowly and said nothing. “There’s Kate, too. When we took her in an’ adopted her, an' made as much of her as if she was our own dead baby come to life”—a tear here glistened in the old lady’s eye —“wo expected she wouldu t make us no trouble nor nothin’. Now look at her, I Bay, coming home from church only last night and that Tom Jones with her; he wearin’ a mustache, too, and his father a deacon in the church. This last seemed particularly dreadful to Aunt llepsey. Uncle David calmly smoked his pipe, rubbed his nose, uml, somehow, didn’t seem at ull horrified. “There, there, Hcpsy, don’t* ” “That’s jist like you, David Cummings; you wouldn’t fret if earth should cave in. Next you know, that gal will be u-git tiu’ married; gals are so foolish nowadays I they Ain’t know what they want or what’s good for’em, neither.” “’Bout the same as they used to be, Hep jist about the same, lor what 1 see. Better let ’em alone, so’ it’ll Como out straight, I guess;” and Uncle David went •iff to the bant to see to things, while Aunt Hepsey went into the house, first looking carefully around to sou if that answer was iu sight any where. She was far from being in as calm a frame of mind as Uncle David about both John and Kate. The former worried her with endless new diseases he was just go ing to have, and endless new medicines lie i was just taking to cure them; homoeopathic medicines too, which she couldn’t see any ; sense or use in. The latter troubled her ' far more iu the fear oilier getting married, and especially to that “Torn Jones with a mustache." ‘Aunt Hepsey wanted her to stay with them always, or at auy rate until someone came along good enough for her; and as no man was ever made who could come up to he rigid standard, that and staying always meant the same thing. Kate was very pretty, and of course had many admirers, which kept the good old ladv in a perpetual fever of false alarms. Jhst as Aunt Hepsey sat down to her newiug John oaiue iu; and a handsome fel low law was too, or would have been if he were not wrapped and muffled to the last degree for a warm autumn day. He seated himself by the fire with a groan. “Whut’s the matter ?” rather sharply asked Aunt Hepsey, veins although the kindest woman in tiie world at heart, had a way of speaking that made her seem other ways. “I’m afraid I'm going to have typhoid, s ile-iiui/r V-icd the invalid. “What makes von think so ?” "I felt a cold chill run up my back just no*, ami that’s one of the symptoms,” groaned J 1 i. “One of the fiddlesticks I” snorted the ol 1 lady. "1 haie them any time.” “i'lii afrud I've got it,” won the lugu brious reply. “My heart disease is worse to-: lay, too; it thumped quite hard as I came up the hill. Just hand me that bot tle. ,f pills.” The pills were handed with an indignant jerk, and the sewing resumed. After a p -use the siek man went on: “I am quite confident my cancer is growing rapidly; 1 have had five diatimt pains iu my liver this afternoon, and three this morning -an increase of two, you see; and there is no doubt my stomach is dis eased post, all help. I have had no appe tite all day (only eight buckwheat cakes that morning); probably inflammation is about to sot in. Bums me the bottle of aconite, 1 um a little feverish." The aconite went across with a sniff. “I don't know but I shull have the lockjaw; they have felt Very 'strangely all day.” Another j ause. “Don’t you think we’d better have a little more tire ? My neuralgia bus been threatening all the morning.’” Aunt Hepsey said nothing ns she put on more wood, but from the way she looked at the chimney it was evident she thought that answer might come down it. During this conversation, was a sample of what took place every day, Kate had come up and seated herself in the buck door which Aunt Hepsey would have open in pleasant weather, neuralg it or no neuralgia. While listening she had been thinking, John Brumer -or cousin John, as she always call and him- was a handsome fellow, and, outside of his many diseases, a tiptop fellow; and suney Kate thought more of him than she wished to think of one in such n deplorable condition. Hence she retolvtd that ns she couldn’t be cured, Jolfn must. Hho bad always been a kind nurse to him, humoring uil his whims and crotonets, and taking the bust of cure of him. “I am sure, mother” - she always called Aunt Hepsey mother -“that Cousin John looks very badly, mid ought to have med ical attendance ut once; but as the doctor is not near enough to be of service we must, do our best to save him,” —and she felt his pulse with her very little finger, and pursed up her lips and looked very wise indeed. John began to look alarmed at this cor roboration of bis own gloomy fears. “He must have a dose of composition at once, a bot tle of hot water put to his feet, and of course must go to bed immedi tt’.ely. ” John would have demurred to this part of the arrangement, hut she did not give him time. “Typhoid is very plenty around juit now, anil no doubt he is going to have all attack; nearly every case fatal, too,” she added musingly to herself. John was now in a cold perspiration of anxiety at the way site treated the matter. “I—l—you never—you don’t really think so, do you ? I- 1 think lam feel ing a little lietter,” stammered he; but Kate extinguished him at once. “Nonsense, yon are worse; much worse; yon change every minute. You must go to bod at once;" and us he really grew pule, she said, as though thinking aloud— “l’robablv won’t bo delirious for some hours yet;” which had the effect of using him up completely. For three days she kept him a close prisoner iu bed, curtains close drawn ; in structing Aunt Hopsey, who attended him, to keep plenty of good warm blankets piled upon liirn, and make him drink plenty of hot popper-tea and such things; which things, combined with his nervous fears, kept him iu a continual state of perspiration, and were, taken on the | whole, considerably worse to endure than i the fever would have been. During that ■ time she invited in some of her young ! friends and made the house ring with fuu; all of which m:ulo the sick room seem doubly tedious. Then she allowed him to ! come down stairs, looking very pale and weak and “blencky.” “How do you feel to-day, Cousin?” asked Kate, looking fresh and rosy herself as could be. “I feel very weak; the room has been rather close and warm.” Which was very true; Aunt Hepsey having, metaphorically speaking, given good measure; saying nothing, but looking as though the ques tion lmd been somehow answered. “Don’t you think a little turn outside ill the air would do me good ?” “Mercy! no. Wlmt an idea ! and Kate looked horrified. “Kit down hero by the tire, instantly, and be covered up; and three largo warm shawls were wrapped and piled around him that warm autumn day. The heat, and something she said in a low tone to her mother about “Poor fellow, 1 am afraid the cancer is grow ing again, and how luekv it is that father bought the cemetery lot. so soon, made him the source of a vast number of little rivers of perspiration immediately. For three weeks Kate would not allow poor John to venture near an open win dow or look out of the door, but contin ued the first treatment; and then slio de clared the fever vanquished, lint as she had discovered meantime about five hun dred new diseases fastened upon him, lie did not find much relief iu the victory. In fact, losing sick under bis own treatment and under hors were two different things. Every day she prescribed some bitter and disagreeable dose to cure anew malady she had perceived coming on. His pleas ant walks were all done away with, too; lie being too weak and ill, she said, to ven ture out. All of which afforded the old ludy unbounded satisfaction and delight. One night Kate came iu and, seating herself beside John, who sat alone iu the room, said: “Cousin John, of course you are my friend, and will advise me for the best, and I want some good advice just. now. I—l think, John, of getting married. Though she looked blnshingly in the fire ns she spoke, she observed him very narrowly out of the corner of her eye. "What !” shouted the invalid, starting up and looking, in his heavy wrappings, like a clumsy pattern of mummy “What 1" "Oh, dear me, cousin, you must not get so excited. Rememberyohr heart-disease, 1 beg;" snd Kate pushed him into his chair as she spoke. Ho groaned as ho sat down again. “Are you sure you are quite calm again ? she asked; because if not 1 must go on, you know.” “Yes, yes,” replied the invalid: “quite so. Go on, goon.” But though it was quite evident he was not quite so, she continued: “You see, cousin,"l’ve had an offer— and I think I may say a good offer —a very good one indeed.” Hero John winced, but she went on: “1 don’t know but I may be considered rather young to marry just now—don’t you think yourself, Jxihfi, I am rather young V” “Much too young—out of the question entirely," gasped the aiek man, who was evidently suffering an attack of that neu ralgia, or something; for his brows were much contracted and his teeth were set very tight. “I knew you would think so, and I told | Tom ” “What 1" roared the feeble sufferer, in a tone that indicated, whatever else might L be the matter with him, hit lungs were ull light. “What! Tom Jones! You never can mean that fellow. Tom Jones 1 I’ll I’ll—strangle him immediately. Tom Jones, indeed 1” And the shawls flew across the room ns if there were a shower of that article in full Idast, while the lately unhappy wearer snorted derision at the idea of that fellow , ‘ Jh, dear ! oh, dear ! what shall I do with him ? Please, Cousin John, do think of your heart-disease. Here, take some aconite; you are feverish." Aud she passed the vial towards him. “Pills lie-hanged, and heart disease too 1 jerked out the excited young man, striding up and down the room like a madman. “Do you suppose I am going to stand by and see you throw yourself away on such a fellow as that ? “I’m sure I dont see why you should care anything about it, said Kate, de murely, still looking into the fire and ner vously toying witi. the bottle of aconite. “But I do care a great deal about it, Raid John, grinding his teeth and stamp ing up and down, utterly oblivious of his cancer and stomach, and everything in fact but Tom Jones and the girl before him. “Kate, I want, you myself ! “Why, John, what an idea !” But the idea neetni and to please her no wi bst. C lit g “llow cun you think of such things iu your fertile health, when yon are so near the tomb, as you yourself told me only yesterday V” “Tombs be—well, hanged again,” quoth the irate John. “I’ve changed my mind about that. I guess I haven’t got a cancer after all.” And he couldn’t help looking a little sheepish as lie made the confession. If you’ll only love me. Kate, and leave that detestable Jones, I am quite positive I shall lie all right again. Will you, Katie?” J don’t know whether it was liis pleading voice, or because his arms around her made her feel faint and took her will away, or whether sho feared the excitement if she said no might bring on liis heart disease; certain it is she did not say it, hut leaned right down on his shoulder, ami he kissed her right on the mouth, and got caught at it, too, by Aunt Hepsey, who was just coming in. “Mercy me ejaculated that horrified fe male, clasping her hands and looking very hard nt the ceiling for an explanation of this extraordinary proceeding. “Mercy me. A statement of the case from them both at. once soothed the good lady’s outraged feelings end made her qu t > contented with the state of affairs; for ns she afterwards observed to Uncle David: “John Brumer ain’t good enuff for our Kate, but lie’s enu I site better than that ‘Tom Jones with a muitnelie, —i nl, sho added, his father a Deacon in the church too.

Y. Grap hit',. -- The Efficacy of Prayer. The Gilded Age tells how Uncle Dnn’l ami the cliil’n first saw a Mississippi steamboat. They were sitting in it row on a log in a warm evenihg telling about spooks, after the manner of southwestern negroes, when Uncle Dan’l said impress ively, “Chil’n, dars sumfiii a cornin’.” A j deep coughing sound troubled the still ! ness, away toward a woodisl cape that jnt ' ted into the stream a mile distant. All i in an instant a fierce eye of fire shot out j from behind the cape and sent a long, brilliant pathway quivering athwart the dusky water. The coughing grew louder i and louder, the glaring eye grew larger | and still larger, glared wilder nml still wilder. A huge shape developed itself out <>f the gloom, and from its tall duplicate horns dense volumes of sn oke, starred and spangled with sparks, poured out and went tumbling away into the farther dark ness. Nearer and nearer the thing came, till its long sides began to glow with spots of light which mirrored t’leiusclv s in the river and attended the monster like a torchlight procession, “Chil’n,” said Uncle Dun’l, “it’s ile Almighty. Git down on yo’ knees.” As the noise and the lights drew nearer Uncle Dan’l prayed. “O Lord, we’s ben mighty wicked, an’ we knows dat we ’zerve to go to de bad place,' but good Lord, deah Lord, we ain’t ready yit, we aint ready—let dese po’ chil’en bad but. one mo’ chance, jes one mo’ chance. Take de ole niggali if you’s got to had somebody. Good Lord, good deali Lord, we don’t know whali you’s agwyne to, we don’t) know who yon’s got yo’eye on,’ we knows by de way yon’s a tiltin along in 3 o’ oharyot o’ fiali dat some po’ sinners gwyne to ketch it. But, good Lord, dese cliil’en don’t b’’ong hoah, day's f'm Obedstowu whah dey don’t, know nuf fin, an’ yon knows, vo’ own self, dat dey ain’t ’sponsible, Oh Lord, spah de little o’lil’n, o I’t-tar de littl i chil’en f’m da f ri rsl jes’ let ’em off jes disonce, an’ take it oi t’u de 010 niggali. Heah T is, Lord, lieah I is ' Do ole niggah’s ready, Lord, de ole—.” Here the steamer’s whistle screeched fairly iu the face of the awe struck group, and uncle Dan’l seizing as many of the ehil’n’s hands as his own brawny ones would hold, scoured off toward tin' woods. Looking back they saw that the boat was rounding a point out of sight. "Well,” said the re lieved uncle Dnu’l, “deres somo folks dat say dey ain’t no 'ficiency in prah. Dis chile would like to know whah we'd a been if it warnt fo’ dat prah. Dat’s it, dats it.” A Disheartened Insurance Agent. A family named Kemper moved into a house in our row last week, writes Max Adder, and Benjamin P. Gunn, the life insurance agent, who lives in the same row was the first caller. He dropped in to see if he could not take out a policy for Mr. Kemper. Mrs. Kemper came down to the parlor to see him. “I suppose," said Gunn, "that Mr. Kemper Ims no insurance on his life.” “No.” said Mrs Kemper. “Well, I’d like to get him to take out a policy in our company. It’s the safest iu the world, the largest capital, smallest rates and biggest dividends." “Mr. Kemper don’t take much interest in such things now,” said Mrs. lv. “Well, madam, but he ought to, in common justice to you. No man knows when he will die, and by paying a ridicu lously small sum now, Mr. Kemper can leave bis family in affluence. I'd like to hand you, for him, a few pamphlets con taining statistics upon the subject; may I?” Of course, if you wish to.’’ “Don’t you think he can be induced to insure ?" asked Gunn. "I hardly think so,” replied Mrs. Kem per. “He is iu good health, I suppose? Has he complained lately of being sick ?” "Not lately." “May I ask if he has any considerable wealth ?” “Not a cent. " “Then of course he must insure. No poor man can afford to neglect such an opportunity. I suppose he travels some times; goes about in railroad curs and other datigerons places.” “No, he keeps very quiet.” “Man of steady babbits, I ’spose ?" “Very steady." “He is just the very man I want,” said Ounu, “I know I can sell him a policy,” “I don’t think yon cun,” replied Mrs. Kemper. “Why ? When will he be home ? I’ll call on him. I doh’t know any reason why I shouldn’t insure him.” “I know,” replied Mrs. K. “Why ?” “He has been dead 27 years 1” said the widow. Then Gunn left all of a sudden. He will not insure any of the Kempers. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. JAS. H. HUNTER ATTORNEY AT I- AW, QUITMAN, BROOKS COUNTY, GEORGIA.
