Mr. Spriggins' Experiment.
A STORY WITH A MORAL.
‘•Where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to bo
wise.”
“I’ll bet you five duUare I can,” said
Spriggins.
“And I'l! bet you five dollars you
can’t,” said I, emphasizing the lust word
decidedly.
The moral and conscientious must not
bo shocked at what he may consider our
gambling proclivities. Like the little
boy who was cytight at school bending
and twisting a pin in position for a
shoolmate to sit upon, we didn’t mean
no harm by it.” The phrase, ‘/I’ll bet
you five dollars,” was siuiply a clincher
of climax used by Spriggins and my
self when we had exhausted every
argument, and each had failed to con
vince the other he was wrong. And.
since neither of us-, except in rare in
stances, ever acknowledged ourselves in
the wrong, we had to bet five dollars
frequently.
lint we never expected to “ fork over”
when we lost. Indeed, we never de
manded payment when the point in dis
pute was settled, but contented ourselves
in saying t; I told you so.”
The point in dispute in the present
instance arose about an item that ap
peared in the telegraphic columns of the
morning paper. The item read as fol
lows :
,l John Jones, a convict in the I
a State’s prison has fallen heir to $50,-
000. Efforts arc being made to secure
his pardon.”
*• There,” said I, “ you see the power
of money. That man was just as inno
cent, just as guilty, before he was worth
fifty thousand dollars as he was after
wards, but behold what a change.—
Wealth brings him friends, who make
efforts to secure his pardon ! Had he
remained poor, his friends would have
permitted him to rut in prison without
raising a little finger to secure his par
don. This world is a humbug, Mr.
Spriggins, a regular cheat; in the lan
guage of a poem 1 read in boyhood, it's
all hollow, hollow !”
sp &eV lint
self up in the peculiar way lie had when
preparing himself for a combat, and I
knew we would have a fight, our tongues
being the weapons, vv ithout giving
the argument pro and con, it will suffice
to say that the discussion was brought
to an end by Mr. Spriggins proposing
an experiment. He was, be it under
stood, a man of means ; but somewhat
eccentric; and the proposition lie made
was to go round amongst his friends,
and tell them he was 1 dead broke.’ ”
“ If,” said he, “I do this, and they
freely advance money to start me in bus
iness, I win. I have no doubt I can
borrow all the money I want with noth
ing but my face as security.’
Then, as stated in the outset, we bet
five dollars each on the result; and I
awaited with eagerness the result of the
practical test.
I, however, ventured to intimate that
if he carried out the experiment, he
might weaken people’s confidence in his
truthfulness; but this only made him
think I feared the result, and made him
more determined than ever, bo the
experiment was t^ifed.
He went to Mr. Smith, one of his
most intimate friends, and said :
“Smith, I’m a bankrupt.”
“Indeed I” ejaculated Mr. S., greatly
astonished; “aud pray how has it uonie
about ?”
“I—I—” stammered Mr. Spriggins,
hesitatingly, for story telling, or, in plain
English, lying, was anew sin with him,
“1 went security for a friend, and had to
pay every dollar of it.”
“Too bad indeed !” was Smith’s sym
pathizing response.
“If I ctrn only borrow a few thou
sands, however, to get started in business
1 think I can get along very well/’
Mr. Smith thought there would be no
difficulty in getting the money. lie
would be glad to advance it himself, but
he was almost strapped just at that time.
Mr. Spriggius knew that this was not
the case, and his opinion of Mr. Smith’s
undying friendship underwent a rapid
and radical change.
lie saw all of his many friends, and
renewed his request to each in turn, but
\ they all happened to be “short just at
that time. After a few days of unsue
! cessful attempts to borrow money, he
humbly confessed he had lost his bet j
fairly, and that his face was not good se
curity among bis friends.
“Itold you so,” said I.
Rut an unlooked for trouble came up
on him. lie was engaged to a very ac
complished lady. His trust in her was
unbounded. He had often told me that
if ever there was a good, true woman
on earth, it was his intended.
Rut her father, hearing of the bank
ruptcy of the son-in-law that was to be,
accosted him, saying:
“I understand, Mr. Spriggius, that
you have met with a reverse of fortune.’
“Yes, sir,” replied Spriggins, sheep
i*hly. .
“Os course, under your altered cir
cumstances, you cannot expect to marry
my daughter V*
Here was anew turn iti affairs for
which Spriggius was not prepared. He
thought at first of correcting the*false
hood which he himself had started, but
the idea suddenly flashed upon his mi l
that here was a good opportunity 1 *
testing the sterling qualities of his swe •
heart. This would be a triumph whi i
, would more than compensate lor his 1 e
feats in other directions. So he rep lie.
“Os course, sir, 1 have a better opin
ion of your daughter than that she
CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1871.
promised to be my wife for the sake of
sharing my money. Marriage fur mon
! ey —” and Spriggins was becoming very
i indignant, “marriage for money, sir, is
I prostitution and nothing else, let the
| world call it whatever they may.”
“Os course, Mr. Spriggins, my daugh
ter thought something of you, but you
know a man without’ means would' be
foolish to think of marrying.”
“I have strong hands, and I may sffy7
a brave heart, and though deprived of
fortune, I can earn enough to support
myself and another.”
“It is useless to prolong this contro
versy, Mr. Spriggins,” said the old man.
“Asa man of honor, you will certainly
offer to release my daughter from her
engagement. Os course, if she does
notaecept your offer of freedom as the
best thing under the circumstances, I
shall have nothing more to say. Good
day, Mr. Spriggins ; I am in somewhat
of a hurry.”
“In a hurry, is he ?” muttered Sprig
gins, as his intended father-in-law disap
peared from view. “Seems to me that
everybody is in a hurry now that meets
me. Ah, I understand it. The sickly
smile, the flurry and hurry, means sim
ply that they want to drop me from their
list of friends. Well, they shall be ac
commodated. But there’s one that
‘stieketh closer than a brother ;’ she will
not desert me. There’s great consola
tion in that.”
So saying, he hastened to see her.
He found her in tears. For the first
time since engaged in trying his experi
ment, he felt like a very mean man. He
would have confessed at once what a
great liar he had been making of him
self, but that would have been a rather
awkward undertaking.
“You have learned,” said he, “that I
have met with a sudden reverse of for
tune. Your father tells me that the only
honorable course for me to pursue is to
offer to release you from your engage
ment. And, while doing so, permit me
to say that after being released from your
engagement with Spriggins, the rich
man, you will plight your faith to him
as a poor man, i shall be the happiest
mortal on earth. I want to be an hon-
irurn. MB xzmir-iWn, ”
finally succeeded in speaking through
her sobs so as to be understood.
“You are very kind, Mr. Spriggins,”
she said. “I am very sorry that our en
gagement must be broken off, for I did
like )uu very well.”
And so the hopes that Spriggins had
entertained were dashed to the ground.
His Duleina liked him very well, but
liked his money better ; and so when
she imagined it was gone, she, too, left
him.
Without another word he strode off
from her presence, a different, but by
no means, a better man.
“So ! so !” he muttered. “The engage
ment cm her part has been a mere mat
ter of money. I am as good, and a
great deal wiser.” ,
“You are right/ said he to me. “ This
world is a humbug. There is not a man
or woman among all nfy friends that a
worth a piueh of snuff. But I will be
revenged. I have a my head
that will spite old Smith delightfully.’
Mr. Spriggins seemed to have been
struck with anew thought. Fie left
me abruptly, and I saw him no more for
several days. Meantime the news was
spread around that Spriggins was not
bankrupt —that it was all a hoax.
The next time I saw him, he told me
with a sort of malicious pleasure, that
hoMiud got about even with his “friends.”
Said he :
“I know of an investment that will
no doubt pay at least fifty per cent. 1
called on Smith and explained the thing
to him. He was highly pleased, and of
fered to ‘go snooks/ ‘Rut,’ said 1. ‘you
h ive no money/ I’ve called on the rest
with a like result, and I’m revenged.”
Mr. Spriggins really laughed, but it
was rather a disagreeable laugh.
“I met,” said he, “the father of her
I once intended to marry. lie was
very friendly, but 1 told him 1 was in a
hurry and could not stop to talk my
time being too precious. And every time
those false-hearted friendg smile on me
so pleasantly, I pass on and tell them
I’m it a hurry.”
I suppose >lr. Spriggins has had his
revenge, but he is a very sad man now.
He is an old bachelor, and avows that
girls care more about money than a good,
true heart. He says, too, that the love
stories scattered arouud the country are
without foundation in real life. Poor
Spriggins ! lie has learned at great
cost the truth, that,
“Where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be
wise.”
When To Begin. —“ That you may
find success,” said Rev. Charles Brooks,
in an address to boys, “ let me tell you
how to proceed: to-night begin your
great plan of life. You have but one
life to live, and it is immeasurably im
portant that you do uot make a mistake.
To-night begin carefully. Fix your eye
ou the fortieth year of your age, and
then say to your self-—at the age of for
ty I will be a temperate man, I will be an
industrious man, an economical man, a
benevolent, well read man, a religious
j man, and a useful man. I will be such
; an one, 1 resolve, and I will stand to it.
My young friends, let this resolution be
firm and adamant; let it stand like the
oak, which cannot be wind-shaken.

the kind words, and gen tie acts, and
dispositions, make glad the home
where peaitC and blessings dwell. No
matter how humble the abude. if it be
thus garnish\ with grace, sweet
eued with kindness and smiles, the heart
will turn longingly it from all
of the world, and home, if
it so homely, will be the dearest
spot beneath the circuit of the sun.
And the influences of home perpetu
ate themselves. The gentle grace of
the mother in the daughter long
after her head in the dust of
death ; and finds echo
in the nobility and courtesy of sons who
come to wear his mantle, and to fiil his
place; while, on the other hand, from
an unhappy, misgoverned and disorder
ed home, go forth persons who shall
make other homes miserable, and per
petuate the sourness and sadness, the
contentions and strifes, and railings,
which have made their own early lives
so wretched and distorted.
Toward the cheerful home the chil
dren gather “as clouds, and as doves to
their windows ;” while from the home
which is the abode of discontent aud
trouble, they fly forth as vultures to rend
their prey.
The class of men that disturb and
distress the world are not those born and
nurtured amid the hallowed influences of
Christian homes ; but rather those whose
early life has been a scene of trouble
and vexation, who have started wrong
in the pilgrimage, and whose course is
one of disaster to themselves and trouble
to those around them.
A Cheerful Face.
Carry the radiance ofyoursoul in your
face. Let the world have the benefit of
it. Let your cheerful ’ “' v •

line just as well as the unjust. buen a
disposition will yield you a rich reward,
for its happy effects' will come home to
you and brighten your moments of
thought. Cheerfulness makes the miml
clear, gives tone to the thought, adds
grace and beauty to the countenance. —
Joubert says: “.When you give, give
with ioy aud smiling.” Smiles are little
things, cheap articles to be fraught with
so many blessings, both to the giver aud
the receiver, pleasant little ripples to
watch as we stand on the shore of every
day life. They are our higher, better
nature’s responses to the emotions of the
soul. Let the children have the benefit
of them —those little ones who need the
sunshine of the heart to educate them,
and would find a level for their buoyant
natures in the cheerful, loving faces of
those who lead them. Let them not be
kept from the middle-aged, who need
encouragements they bring. Give your
smiles also to the aged. They come to
them like the quiet rain of summer,
making fresh and verdant the long weary
path of life. They look for them ftvin
you who are rejoicing in the fullness of
life. Be gentle and indulgent to all. —
Love the true, the beautiful, the just,
the holy.
Stan Watie. —Gen. Stan Watie,
who died a few days ago, was the great
chief of the Cherokees. He framed the
treaty of 1840 between his people and
the United States, and was most influen
tial and active in inducing the Cherokees
to abandon their original homes in
North Carolina and Georgia for the rich
er lands west of Arkansas. lie became
omnipotent in controlling his tribe, and
was the impersonation of all tin so enno
bling traits of character which the nov
elist Cooper ascribed to the heroes of
the Indian race. Stan Watie led a
Cherokee brigade in the Confederate ar
my and was distinguished for his personal
courage in several battles. After the
war he negotiated a treaty with the Gov
ernment at W ashington. llis son, Sa
ladin, a youth of 18 or 20 years of age,
who served on the Geneful's staff was
the father’s idol —a brilliant, gallant,ed
ucated young gentleman —died a few
years azo. The old Indian hero never
recovered from the shock and never
smiled agair. He lost interest in life
and welcomed death, that he might leave
an invaluable heritage to his people in
the fame he had won as a soldier and
statesman, and as an honest, chivalrous
gentleman.
It is reported that Horace Greeley
has got into a muss with a Texas editor.
It appea s that in an agricultural essay
on tobacco. Mr. Greeley asserts that fine
cut will not ripen well unless the tin foil j
is stripped from the growing buds early |
in the spring, and that plug tobacco J
ought to be knocked off the trees with j
clubs instead of picked by hand. This,the J
Texas editor said was nonsense, and Mr.
Greeley challenged him.

eight from the House be appointed to
take into consideration the fence laws
of this State. Not taken up.
'* Mr. Wellborn offered a joint resolu
tion that the Superintendent of Public

HOUSE.
The House met at the appointed hour,
Speaker Smith presiding.
Journal of yesterday was read and
approved.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Jones.
On motion of 31 r. Pierce, the rules
were suspended and the House bill to
provide for a special election for Gov
ernor, which had passed the Senate with
certain amendments, was taken up and
the Senate amendments concurred in.
The following bills were read the first
time: _ _
issue bonds for educational purposes.
Also, a bill to incorporate the town of
Tilton in Whitfield county.
31 r. Clark, of Richmond —A bill to

On motion of Mr. Gray tlic rules
were suspended, and the Senate resolu
tion, postponing the collection of tax
for 1871, sixty days, was taken up.
The Finance Committee reported ad
versely to the adoption of the above res
olution, and Mr. Gray offered a minor
ity report.
Mr. Wofford, of Bartow, advocated
the adoption of the minority report urg
ing that the farmers in the northwestern
parts of the State have not yet put their
corn and wheat on the market but
will be able in sixty days so to do
and realize money to pay their tax there
from.
Mr. McMillan also favored the minor
ity report as necessary to the people of
Northeast Georgia. 0
Mr Bacon said that the interests of
the State demand that money should be
raised and that he had been requested
by several Senators, who voted for the
resolution hastily as they allege, to op
pose it, and that if the collection be
postponed sixty days the State would
lose about one hundred thousand dallars
in poll tax, for present contracts would
then expire and the parties scattered so
that the poll tax could not be collected,
lie favored an extension of the time but
not for so long as sixty days.
Glower, of Monroe, said that bis color
indicated that lie came from the black
belt, and that his section wanted this
extension, and in his opinion more of
the poll tax would be collected in sixty
days than at present, and that he owes
Sid for tax which he hasn’t paid, and
if it is doubled, he thinks it will be
about 32, and therefore he wanted more
time.
Mr. Pierce called the previous ques
tion. The call was sustained and the
motion to adopt the majority report was
put. On this motion the yeas and nays
were called with the folowing result:
Yeas 14; nays 131.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, moved
to amend the Senate resolution by allow
ing time for the payment of tax until
December 24, 1871, aud that lax Ooi
-1 lectors be allowed until 25th day of
January, 1872, to settle with Coinp
; troller General. »

'time for the collection of taxes for the

ber, as a substitute for a resolution •

duck him, but he slipped thruugh our
hands and hid under the ice- All our
efforts to entice him out failed, and he
has now retaiued hispo’.utof advantage

i down and prayed for 50 brotheis and lot)
1 little sisters, but before his devotions
were concluded. his mother lifted him sud

ously, and put him to bed ”
