BOTH SIDES.
A man in bia carriage was riding along,
A gaily dressed wife by his side ;
In satin and laces she looked like the queen,
And he like a king in his pride.
A wood sawyer stood on the streets as they
passed ;
The carriage and couple he eyed :
And said, as he worked with his saw on a
l°g.
“I wish I was rich ride.”
Tht man in the carriage remarked to his
wife,
“One thing I would give if I could—
I’d give my wealth for the strength and the
health
Of the man who sawed the wood.”
A pretty young maid, with a bundle of work,
Whose face, as the morning, was fair,
Went tripping along with a smile of delight,
While humming a love-breathing air.
Bhe" looked on the carriage; the lady she
saw,
Arrayed in apparel so fine,
And said iD a whisper : “I wish from my
heart
Those satins and laces were mine,”
The Indy looked out on the maid with her
work,
So fair in he*’calico dress,
And said, “I'd relinguish position aad
• wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess.”
Thus it is in the world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time we employ
In longing and sighing for what we have
,* not . /
Ungrateful for what we enjoy.
ftlra. Jones* Dog.
Squire 3C, of a suburban town is
somewhat deaf, and the fact often causes
difficulty. The other day Mrs Jones
called to ask him to get the police to
find a dog that she had lost. Mrs. Jones
was suffering from a featful cold, which
had deprived her entirely of her voice,
so that she could not possibly speak
above a whisper. The result was an
interview something like the follow
ing:
Mrs. Jones (in a hoarse whisper)
“Squire X., I have lost my dog. It
was a—”
Squire—“ Speak up, madam, don’t
be afraid. You can talk right out to
me.”
Mrs. Jones (in a hoarse whisper)—
“I say I’ve lost my doe. It was a lit
tle white sorter dog with a curly tail,
and I wanted to see if—”
Squire— “ Madame, if you have any
thing to say that you are ashamed to
say out loud, put it iu writing I don’t
want to make you blush.”
Mrs. Jones (with a voice like a muf
fled bark mill) —“The reason that I
can't speak louder is that I have lost
my voice.”
Squire —“No, you needn’t be afraid
of making a noise. Talk, right out
loud ; we're alone. Nobody’s anywhere
about.”
Mrs. Jones (with a voice rougher
than ever) —“I can’t talk out loud be
cause I have a bad cold ”
Squire—“ Well, really, madam. I
must insist upon your speaxing in an
audible voice if you are old. You are
old enough to know better than to come
whispering areund a man like me.—
Why don’t you speak your mind
right out ? Now. what’a, the mat
ter V*
Mrs. Jones (with a voice like a cross
cut saw going through a rotten board)
—“Why, you see, I’ve lost my dog,
and I want to get the p'lice to hunt him
up. He was white and his tail curly,
and—” '
Squire—Look here ! this is all fooL
ishneaa. All I understand is that you
are old and don’t want to make a noise
because it is aaily. If I catch the drift
of your remarks that’s what you are
driving at. Now, I’ve got nothing to
do with your age or opinions of the
time of day, and if you ain’t satisfied
write your story on that slate.”
Mta. Jones did so, and the Squire
read it.
Squirp—“O, I see. Lost a dog and
lost your voice. Excuse me. I thought
you wabted'td be cenfidifltjjil. I dunno,
exactly what can be ilbne, though. I
can put the police after your dog* but
I won’t guarantee that they can recover
your voice. Is there any reward on it ?
Where did you lose it F” ...
Mrs. Jones —“Sleeping with the win
dow open.”
Squire—“ Jumped out, I ’spose. You
said it had a curly tail, I believe ?”
Mrs. Jones —“Are you speaking of
my voice ?”
Squire—“ Certainly not. lam allu
ding to your dog.”
Mrs. Tones—“lt ran away on Tues
day with a butcher’s dog.”
Squire—“Very well ; now, you go
home and stuff yourself up with gum
drops and liquorice, snd I’ll see what
can be done for you-”
Mrs. Jones’ dog reached her next
day.
A man was being examined for a
school-teacher in Maine, after stumb
ling through some simple arithmetical
problem, was asked where Boston is.—
He answered : “I know all about it,
probably just as well as you do ; have
heard of the place several times, but
can’t somehow or other seem to locate
it.” With a view to helping hi n out,
the committeemen said : “It is the cap
ital of some State, is it not?” “Yes.
I believe it is.” “What State?”
“Well, I know, probably as well as you
do, what State Boston is the capital
of, but you see I haven’t got the flow
of language to express it.” The ex
aminer “passed” but the applicant
didn’t. „

How to Esc Money.
Mr. Brown kept boarders. Around
Mr. ILown’s tea-table sat Mr. Brown,
Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews, the village
milliner; Mr. Black, the baker; Mr.
Jordan, a carpenter; and Mr. Hadley,
a flour, feed ( and lumber merchant. Mr.
Brown tobk dud of h*s pocket-book a
ten dollar note and handed it to Mis.
Brown, saying, “Here, my dear, are ten
dollars toward the twenty I promised <
you ” Mrs. Brown handed it to Mas;
Andrews,the milliner,saying,“That pays
for my new bonnet.” Mrs. Andrews
said to Mr. Jordan as she handed him
the note,“That will pay for the work on
my counter.” Mr. Jordan handed it to
Mr. Hadley, the flour, feed, and lumber
merchant, requesting him to give him
ciedrtlfoi flrit fcfhmint on his lamber
bill. Mr. Hadley gave the note bock to
Mr. Brown saying, “That pays 10 dol
lars on my board.” Mr. Brown passed
it to Mrs. Brown, with the remark that
that payed the 20 dollars he had prom
ised. She, in turn,paid it to Mr. Brick,
to settle her bread and pastry account,
who handed it to Mr. Hadley, wishing
credit for that amount on his flour bill,
he again returned it to Mf. Brotfn with
the remark that it settled for that
month’s board. Whereupon Brown put
it hack into hU poekeb exclaiming that
he “never thought alO dollar note
would go so far.” Thus alO dollar
greenback was made to pay 90 dollars
indebtedness inside of five minutes
“Who says greenback* are worthless ?”
Limit Your Wants.
rrom the nature of things,the income
of most of the inhabitants of the earth
must bo limited, and indeed within very
narrow bounds. The product of labor
throughout the world.tf equally divided
would not make the share *-f each indL,
visual large. It is impossible that ever/
one should be called rich, but it is by
no means impossible to be independent.
And what is the way to compass this—
as Burns appropriately designates it—
“gloriprs privilige !” The method is
very simple. It consists in one rule :
Limit your wants ; make them few and
inexpensive. To do this would inter
fere but little with your real enjoyment.
It is mostly a matter of habit. You re
quire more or you require less .just as you
have accustomed yourself to one or the
other,limityour wants.estimate their cost,
t>4 aovw exceed ifc, taking pains to al
ways keeft inside your income. Thus
you will secure your lasting independ
ence. Young men think of this. A
great deal of the happiness of your lives
depends upon it. After having made
your money spend ilf as vbu choose,bon.

How She Backed Him.
On the Harlem road the other day
might have been seen an old white
Dobbin jogging into the city ahead of
an old-fashioned spring vehicle. Far
mer John and his wife sat side by side,
his plug hat full of bays, inlets, caves
and coves, and her head covered with a
bonnet which was in style soon after
the close of the Mexican war. A New
Yorker was exercising his horse a bit,
and through some mishap the wheel of
his s “skeleton” became interlocked witli
a hind wheel of the old “quill wagon.”
He flew in a passion, and made mat''
ters worse. Three spokes were brokei
frpm fp wheel, and off came the wheel
bf the ancient turn out: The farmer
sat there with his mouth open, too
amazed to speak and bewildered to do
anything. The wife was also a little slow
to wake up, but when dumped out
ahead of twenty pounds of good butter
she yelled out:
‘fWilliam Henry, why on airth don’t
you sass that man ?”
“I guess I will !” he calmly replied
slowly reaching his feet.
The mao who had wrought the mis.
chief was down on the ground survey
ing his broken spokes, and he called
out : ,
“Such old, sleepy heads have no bus
iness driying.an old blind horse on the
highway ! if you had turned out this
would not-have happened.”
“ William—William Henry,why don’t
you sass him back?” exclaimed, the
wife tipping the butter-crock right end
up.
“I believe I will,” he feplied.
“You go to Florida 1” was the em
phatic answer. “You can go to town
on three wbepri a§ well as four!”
“Djil’t you talk that way to us !”
warned the woman.
“No; don’t you do it !’’ put in the
husband.
“That’s pretty good for two blind
folk’s !” sneered the New Yorker.
“Wonder you wern’t killed long
ago r
“You pay for this wheel !” shouted
the woman.
“Tell ’em to charge it!” was the an
swer. “If vour husband was not an old
man I’d drub him !”
“D’ye hear that. William Henry
d’ye hear his sass ? Why don’t you lick
him out’n his boots?”
“I don’t want no fuss,” replied the
husband, while the stranger indulged
in a mocking laugh.
“Goan lice him !” shouted the wife.
“If I was a man I’d pound him to
death !”
“I’d like to choke him once, but I’m
a Jeetle afraid of the law 1” said the
old man.
The stranger hitched his horse,think
ing to have some fun, and walking up
to the farmer he shouted :
“Pay me for the damage.”
“Lick him I Lick him !” squealed
the wife nudging William Henry in
the ribs.
“I believe I will!” he slowly an*
swered.
“Beg my pardon at once !” howled
the New Yorker, appearing great’v en*
raged.
William Henry reached out a mas
sive paw, clutched the stranger by the
collar and a tussle commenced. He
was old but ‘ tuff,” and the old lady
made an excellent bot le holder. Aftor
a minute the two ’contestants went
down, the farmer uppermost. The New
Yorker now began to put to his work,
an! would doubtless have desolated a
a family hearthstone but for the wife.
She saw how things were going, and
seizing a roll of butter she slammed it
down on the New Yorker’s face filling
his eyes and overloading his*mouth.—
The old man got a neck hold on him.
and it wasn’t long before he was a
licked man. When let up he hadn’t
a word to say but unhitched aud drove
off.
“I don’t know what our church would
say,” mused the old lady looking after
him, “but’tween men you, William
Henry, that was nicer than any dog,
figtt, and just as religious as a prayer
meeting.” •
“The Lord seemed to he on our side
all along,” replied Unsold man, “but I
guess I’d have got walloped if you
hadn’t come with the butter. Pin tny
coat tail cn again and let me git a.rail
under this ax ke tree.”— Exchange.
r “A Cocktail with some Strength
IN It/’' —An Indianian went into a
Chicago saloon and asked for “a gin
cocktail with some strength in it.” —
The barkeeper made a mixture of alco
hol, pepper sauce, absinthe, limes, and
painkiller. “The Indianian drank it,”
says tae Chicago Tribune, “and about
a quart*of tears came to his eyes, his
meuth contracted to about the size of
a safe key hole, aud when he had suL
fieiently mastered his emotion to speak,
he said, “Dow much’s that ?’’ “Fifteen
cents.” responded the barkeeper. The
customer put down a quarter and said,
“Keep the change —have something
yourself;” then, wringing the bar
keeper’s hand, he added. “That’s the
first good gin I’ve tasted since I left
home—something like liquor ; it’s sort
of quick in taking hold and slow in
letting go. Come and see me and I’ll
give you some corn whisky that’s bet
ter still—whtokv that’s like swallowing
a circular saw whole aud pulling it up
again.”

er by akiior him if the fatted calf in
the parable was a male or female.. “Fe

The Drummer Boy mid ‘the
Queen.
When a boy enters the army at a very
early age, which sometimes happens ia
the case of one who has suddenly be
come an orphan, he is generally made
much of by the officers, and eventually
ranks as the “pet of the regiment.” As
instance of this kind occurred in one of
the regiments of the Guards shortly of
t°v the Crimean war. A bright intelli
gent little fellow,about nine years of age,
whose father bad been killed at the but,
tie of Inkermann, and whose mother *
had three younger children to attend to,
had applied to have her eldest child ta
ken intoithe regiment, was duly
to “serve her Majesty the Queen, her
heiis and successors.” The boy was so
small in stature,and yet clean and smart
in his appearance, that he soon became
the favorite of all, from the colonel
downwards. Ilis usual place on return
ing from a field day was on the back of
the colonel’s horse at the head of the
battalion ; the colonel himself, an Alma
hero, with one arm. walking beside the
animal, and ever and anon making some
remark to please the little fellow. It
happened at this time the young Prince
Arthur had began to evince a taste for a
military life, and by the Queens com
mand, the drum-major of this battalion,
which was stationed at Windsor,attend
ed regularly at the Castle to teach his
Royal Highness the drum. Her Maj„
esty and the Prince Consort were often
present on these occasions; and one day
when the young Prince asked his tutor
if there were any drummers in the
Guards as small as himself (the Prince),
the drum-major informed his Royal ru
pil of the facts relating;to the little sol
dier bny mentioned above. With her
usual kindness of heart, the Queen di
rected that the little fellow should be
brought to the Castle on the following
day. Acccordingly, the morrow saw the
worthy non-comaiissioned officer and b ’.s
tiny subordinate—the latter being as
trim as bushing and pipeclay could make
him, with his fife under his arm,and his
fofgc cap set jauntily on the side of his
head—trudging up the Castle hill to
wards the residence. On reaching the
nursery they had not long to wait be
fore her Majesty and the young Prince
made their appearance. The drum-ma
jor and his little charge instant sprang
to “ ’tention,” and brought their hands
to the salute; while Prince Arthur,with
a cry of delight, hastened forward and
begin to ask his brother drummer a
thousand and one questions. The “pet
of the regiment” was naturally shy in
such august company ; but he became
re-assured when the Queen, taking him
kindly by the hand, addressed a few
motherly remarks to him. Then the
royal drummer slung his drum,aud call*
ing upon the young guaidsman to “play
up,” the latter responded the invitation
with “God save ihe Queen,” the Prince
joining in lustily the while upon the
well battered shtepskin Her Mijesty
was greatly pleased with the simple com
pliment ; and on the conclusion of the
audience, she not only provided her nov
el guest with a good luncheon, but gave
him a five, pound note for his mother. —
Prince Arthur continued his studies on
the drum for several months afterward ;
and when they were concluded, the
drum-major received from the Queen’s
hands a handsome gold watch and chain
bearing: an inscription, together with a
portrait of the Prince, dressed as a
drummer, with his drum slung round
his neck. — Chambers’ Journal.
Anecdote of Telegraphing.
The following is told by Mr. Rogers:
“I think the most curious fact that I
have ever heard of the electric telegraph,
was told rue by the cashier of the Rank
of England. ‘ Once upon a time,’’then
on a certain Saturday night,the folks at
the bank could not make the balance
come out correct by just £IOO. This is
a very serious matter in this little estab
lish nent. Ido not mean the cash, but
the mistake in arithmetic,for it requires
a world of security. An error in bal
ancing has been known,l am toldto keep
a delegation of clerks from each office
at work sometimes the whole night. A
hue and cry was, of course, made after
this £loo,as if the old lady in Thread
needle street would be in the Gazette
for want of it. Luckily on Sunday
morning, a clerk in the middle of a ser
mo’.l dare say,if the lruth were "known
felt a suspicion of the truth flash through
his mind quicker than any flash .of the
telegram itself. He t-ild tlv chief cash'
ier that perhaps the'mistake miuht have
occurred in packing some specie for the
West Indies, which had been sent to
Southampton for shipment. The sug
gestion was immediately acted upon
Here was a race, lightning against
steam ! steam with eight and forty hours
the start. Instantly the wires asked.
‘Whether such a vessel had left the har
bor ?” “Just weighed anchor,“was the
reply. “Stop her !’’ frantically shouted
the telegraph. Itwassodone. “Heave
up on deck certain boxes marked so and
so; weigh them carefully.” They were
weighed; undone —the ielinquent- was
found heavier by just one packet of a
hundred sovereigns than itrught to be.
“Let her go,” said' the'mysterious tele
graph. The West Indies were debited
with just £IOO more, and the error was
corrected without ever looking into the
boxes or delaying the voyage an hour
Now that is what we call doing bud~
ness.
“If you cao't keep awake,” said a
parson to one of his hearers “when you
are drow>y why don’t you take a piuch
of snuff?” “I think,” was the sbrev,d
replv. “the snuff should be put into the
sermon.”

THE
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS
For 1877.
On the first of January, 1877, the Mokn
ing News enters upon its twenty-seventh
volume, and, it is hoped by the conductors,
upon a prosperous year. Every returning
anniversary has witn ssed its extending iu
f uence, and to-day it is the text of the po
itical faith of thousands of readers. Its
uniform consistency and steadfast devotion
to principle has gained for it the confidence
of the public, thus enabling it to contrib
ute largely to the triumph of the Demo
cratic party,.
In the future, as in the past, no pains
will be spared to make the Morning News
in every respect still more deserving of the
confidence and patromigivwhich lias been
so liberally extended to it by the peop'e of
Georgia and Florida. The ample means of
the establishment will be devote! to the
improvement of the paper in all its de
partments, and fo m iking it a comprehen
sive, instructive and reliable medium of
the current news. Xt& shift of special cor
respondents—at Washington, Atlanta,
Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and ether points
of interest—has .been reorganized witli a
view of meeiing every possible emergency
that may arise, and pains will be taken to
make its commercial news, foreign and do
mestic, complete and reliable.
As we are about entering upon the new
year, we desire to call especial attention to
our club rates of subscription.
