HOW HE CAME TO BE MAKKlED.
A Very Humorous Sketch.
It may be funny, but I’ve douo it.
I've got a rib aud a baby. Shadows
departed—oyster stews, brandy cock¬
tails, cigar boxes, boot jacks, abscond¬
ing shirt buttons, whist and dominoes.
Shadows present—hoop skirts, band
boxes, ribbons, gaiters, long stockings,
juvenile dresses, tin trumpets, ’ little
willow chairs, cradles, bibs, pap, sugar
teats, paragoric, hive sirup, castor oil,
Godfrey's cordial, soothing sirup, rhu¬
barb, senna, salts, squills and doctor's
bills Shadows future — raoro nine -
pound babies, more hive sirup, etc. etc.
I’ll just tell you how I got caught. 1
was always the darndest, most tea-cus- ,
tard bashful fellow you ever did see: it
was kinder in my line to be taken with
the shakes every time I saw a pretty gal
approaching me, and I’d cross the street
any time rather than face one: ’twasn’t
because I didn’t like the critters, for if
I was behind a fence looking through a
knot hole I couldn’t look at one long
Enough. Well, my sister Lib, gave a
nnrrvfnn„ partyfone niohr night, «n.l and T l sf.aved stayed *w*t away from from
home because I was too bashful to face
the music. I hung around the house
whistling ‘Old Dan Tucker,’ dancing to
keep my feet warm, watching the heads
bobbing up and down behind the win¬
dow curtains, and wishing the thunder¬
ing party would break up so 1 could
get to my room. I smoked a bunch
of cigars, and as it was getting late,
and mighty uncomfortable, I concluded
to shin up the door post. No sooner
said than done, and 1 found myself
snug in bed. ‘Now/says I, ‘let her rip!
Dance till your wind gives out!’ And,
cuddling under the quilts, Morpheus
giabbod me. I was dreaming of soft
shell crabs and stowed tripe, and
having a good time, when some one
knocked at the door and woke me up.
•Rap!’ again. I laid low-, ‘ltap, rap,
rap!' Then I heard a whispering, and
I knew there was a whole raft of gals
outside. ‘Rap, rap!’ Then Lib sings
out, ‘Jack, are you there V ‘Yes,’ says
I. Then cams a roar oflaughter. ‘Let
us in,’ says sbe. ‘I won't,’ says; I ‘can’t
you let a fellow alone ?' ‘Are you abed!
says she. T am,’ says I- ‘Get up/
says she. ‘I won't,’ says I. Then
came another laugh. By thunder! I
began to get riled. ’Get out, you pet
ticoated scarecrows!' f cried: ‘can’t
you get a beau without hunting a fel¬
low out of bed f I won’t go home with
you—1 won't, bo you may clear out!’
And throwing a boot at the door. I felt
better. But, presently, bh, mortal but¬
tons ! I heard a still, small voice, very
much like sister Lib's, and it said* ’Jack,
you have to got up. for the girls' things
are in thore ! Oh, Lord, what a pickle!
Think of me in bed, all covered with
shawls, muffs, bonnets and cloaks, aud
twenty girls outside the door waiting to
get in! If I bad stopped to think, I
should have died on the spot. As it
was, 1 rolled out among the bonnet*
wire and ribbons iu a hurry. ‘Smash!’
went the milliuary in every direction.
I had to dress in the dark—for there
was a crack in the door, and girls will
peep—aud the way I fumbled about was
a death oo straw hats. The critical
moment came. I opened the door and
found myself right among the women.
‘Oh, my bonnet!’ cried one. ‘Oh, my
Leghorn!’ cried another, aDd they
pitched In. They pulled me this way
and that, boxed my ears, and one bright¬
eyed little piece—Sal - her name
was—put her arms around my neck and
kissed me right on my lips. Human
nature couldn’t stand that, and 1 gave
her as good as she sent. It was the
first time I ever got a taste, and it was
powerful good. 1 believe I could have
kissed that gal from Julias Cmsar to
Fourth of July. ‘Jack,* said she, *we
are sorry to disturb you, but won’t you
sea me hornet’ ‘Yes,’said 1, ’I will/
I did do it, and had another smack at
the gate, too. After that, we took a
kinder turtle-doving after each other,
both of us sighiug like a barrel of new
eider when we were away from each
other. ’Twas at the close of a glorious
summer day—the sun was setting be¬
hind a distaut hog-pen the chickens
were going to roost—the bull-frogs were
commencing their evening songs—the
pollywogs, in their native mud puddles,
wore preparing themselves for the
shades of night, ami Sal aud myself sat
upon an antiquated back log, listening
to the music of nature, such as treo
toads, roosters and grunting pigs, aud
now and then the mellow music of a
distant jackass was wafted to oureais
by the gentle nephyrs that sighed arnoug
the mullen sfalks, and came heavy laden
with the delicious odor of hen roosts aud
pig styes. The last lingering rays of
the setting sun, glanciug from the brass
buttons of a solitary horsemau, shone
through a knot hole in the pig pen, full
in Sal’s face, dyeing her hair with an
orange peel hue, and showing off my
thread-bare coat to a bad advantage —
one-of my arms was around Sal’s waist,
ray band resting on the small of her
back—she wa,v toying with my auburn
locks of j 0t * black bue-sbe was almost
K« lle . aad 1 Was dltU >- Sbe looked like
a grasshopper dying with the hiccoughs,
and I felt like a mud turtle choked
with a codfish ball.
‘Sal,’ says I, in a voice musical as the
notes of a dying swan, ‘will you liavo
mef'
She turned her eyes hoavenward,
clasped me by the hand, had an attact
of the heaves aud blind staggers, and,
with a sigh that drew her shoe-strings
to her palate, said ‘Yes!' She gave
! clear 1 ^ed ° ut thwn bor and 1 s ‘l« broke atted in la P
I utlUl fUS P eu '
! ,lere * aud bor breatb smelt of onions
; wb ' cb sbe bad ea * < ' u wee a before
Well to make a long story short, she
set tho day. and we practiced for four
weeks every night how we would walk
iuto tho mom to be married, till we got
so we could walk as graceful as a couple
of Muscovy ducks.
The night; the company, aud
minister came, the sigual was given,
arm aud arm we marched through the
crowded hall. We were just enters
ing the parlor door, when down I wont
kerslap on the oilcloth, pulling Sal! af¬
ter mo. Some cussed fellow dropped a
banana skin on the floor aud floored
me. It split au awful hole in my cassi
raeres. It was too late to back out, so
1 we marched in and were spliced, and
taking a seat l w tched the kissing the
bride operation. My gromsman kissed
her till I jumped up to take a slice,
when, oh, horror! a little 0-year-old imp
had crawled behind me, and had pinned
my coat to the chair, and jumping up
I again fall sprawling on the floor, to
the admiration of the astonished
multitude. I was finally put to bed'and
there all my troubles ended. Good
night,— Chicago Ledger,
An Appeal to the Baptists of Georgia.

managers aro cramped _ for lack , of funds.
When it is considered that within the
limits of the State them are this day
one thousand five hundred and fifty
three ministers, two thousand six hun¬
dred aud sixty-three churches, and two
hundred and nineteeu tbousaud seven
hundred and twenty-eight church mem¬
bers, (by far the largest showing of any
other denomination!, it would seem that
this notorious enterprise, and Mercer
University, too, should be munificently
supported. We append the circular by
request, as follows:— Macon Telegraph.
To the Baptists of Georgia .—We avail
ourselves of the courtesiesjof the religi¬
ous and secular press to a few facts
which we consider Deedful and proper
to the cause of Missions. Since last
May we have had no agents among
you to collect funds—by this retrench¬
ment we have made a large saving.
We have dep ended solely upon the pas¬
tors, and we ate gratified at the prompt¬
ness with which a great many of them
have responded. We have urged the
importance of securiug small contribu¬
tions from Me many, and that collec¬
tions he takeu regularly aud frequently
The number ot contributions has been
largely increased, and the amount re¬
ceived is in excess of what it was at
this time last year—being in the aggre¬
gate about thirteen thousand dollaia.
For this wo feel grateful to God and to
the brethren, and are encouraged to
expect results still more favorable.
Our confidence in the spirit of Miss¬
ions arnoDg tho brethren has been
strengthened. We believe they will
give readily to the support oi this
cause if they are properly approached
upon the subject. We believe the pa -
tors would promptly bring the subject
befors their c lurches if they did cot
forgot it. We believe if the brethren
had a proper appreciation of ’Tittles,"
the number and aggregate value of
their gifts would be much greater. We
do not expect pounds from individual
givers, but pennies fiorn the multitudes.
Do not doflpiftO tho Cl'Ay of small things.
Remember the widow’s mite, and forget
not that the Lord commended' her gift
above the munificent dooations of the
rich.
It is proper, also, that we should
state to you that we are enlarging out¬
works; going to regions beyond; plac¬
ing more laborers iu the field; and that
there are inanj good and true men and
women anxious to go forth and hear the
everlasting gospel to tho people who sit
in darkness and the regions of death.
More funds are needed, and we appeal
to the Baptists of Georgia to contribute
their proportion. We appeal to you,
brethren, in tho name of OUV Master,
who said: "Go and teach all nations.' -
We appeal to you in the name of the
millions whose daily cry 13 ringing uyou
our ears' ‘‘Come over and help us.’’
We entreat you by the prosperity with
which God has blessed your labors, by
tbe hope of immortal blessedness which
he has kindled within your bosoms, by
the joys you experience in seeing the
triumphs of His Kingdom; by the glad¬
ness of the nations brought to the Re¬
deemer’s feet. We entroat you to make
some contribution to those who are
preaching Jesus iu heathen lands.
It is only about two months before
our eouveution meets. Will net the
pastors all over the State take one or
more collections before that time! If
tbe pastor forgets it, will not some dea¬
con or brother or sister remind him of
the work f And if it prove wfioily im¬
practicable to taken general collection,
will not each odb who read this circular
send his own contribution—let it be
over so small Let all funds he sent as
soon as collected to Dr, J. II. DeVotio,

In friendship, as in Jove we are often
