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. The Georgia Baptist Mission is ex¬ tending its operations and aceotoplish '"X”" , g ° V ffj rt8 f *]“ U ? ,.? 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.

To work out our owu contentment, we should labor not so muchot increase our substunoe. as to moderate our de sires. .» In friendship, as in Jove we are often happier iu our ignorance than our knowledge. Men are generally like wagons: they rattle prodigiously when there is nothing in them. We should never play wiufc favor; we cannet too closely embrace it when it ! is real, nor fly too far fro® it when it is ! false. The true epic of oar time is not arms and the man, but tools and the man— an infinitely wider kind of epic. > m i A \ i n : X I. 9. B3K«t^7 LJOLSC.
