Te,c.alism Forswr.-A Jolly old friend
of ours, relates the following good story,
which certainly contains an excellent
| moral.
Some years ego two individuals risding
in Jefferson county, started 10 Augusta
with load Of fowls. They stopped al
the frs, grocery ON The road and supplied
themselves with u half gallon oil whiskey.
II was nol long before they were over!akeu
by traveller, riding a very poor horse
| The men of The chickens had already be-
gan TO feel rich, aud their philanthropic
feelings TO expand. Tx ltrauger was ask
ed to lake horn 10 which he readily
agreed. The party travelled On together
for sometime drinking aud conversing. II
was iually proposed aud agreed 10, that
the stranger hitch his horse 10 the hind
par, of the cart aud ride with The chicken
men. The animal was according tied by
the neck with a rope, aud fastened to The
chcker wagon. They had uol proceeded
mure l,an mile in this way, before they
discovered their cart horse pulling very
hard. The whip was applied, however,
and he kept moving until they came TO a
pretty steep hill, when the horse stopped.
The party went round to push ut the
wheels, when it was discovered that the
travellers horse as as dead Is hammer.
aud hal been dragged by the neck several
hundred yards, after being chookcd 10

They soon proceed on their way not fro.
getting 10 touch the ovcrjoyful occasionally.
They camped near creek swamp Tor the
night. Mex, morning the cart horse was
missing. Ii was arranged that the i've
chicken men should go in search of the
horse while the stranger remained TO take
care of the cart und chickens Shortly af.
ter the traveller had been left alone, he
toucked The jug so often lha, he came to
the conclusion that the chickens must be
very much in wan, Of water; and finally
turned them out to drive them 10 tho creek.
The chickens were no sooner at liberty thau
they began 10 fly in all directions. cackliug
and growing with joy, that they were oncG

selves in the tops Of ,oil pines and poplars
to afford themselves a better observation o

the other Two inen returned after an uusuc

al the camp just IN time TO see their car

the camp fire while the stranger was eusa
