.sCUssED HIS CROP OUT"

The following good one is told of John
NJ, most inveterate wag, and one of the
cleverest men in old Talbot. He was in the
bureau office at Butler last fall, looking
over some old tax books, when a negro Of
this county who had some difficulty with
his employer, entered, and inquired OF NJ

"Well, boss, I come to see you bout a
| fuss had wild de man I works wild, Mr.. B.
You see, boss, I axed him two weeks ago
how much money and things got in de
store, and he tole me hundred and thirty
dollars. Well, las week goes to town and
buys three or four dollars wuf of things,
and den he say I owe him two hundred and
fifty dollars and when I tell him dat can't
be so, he cussed-"
"What did he cuss you!" said M, ex.
citedly, turning over the leaves Of the tax
book.
eyes, boss, he cussed me twice."
"Well," said NJ, hurriedly snatching up
pen and making some marks on the book,

"Lcok a-here, boss" said the negro ca
gerly, "does dey have to pay for cussin

time they cuss you"
"Den," said the colored individual, ris-
ing solemnly and putting his hat carefully
on the table, "'fore God, boss, he done cuss
his whole crop out, and Use gwine home to
elect my money"
The negro made shell-road time back to
his employers, told the negroes of their
good fortune, and the result was that every
one of them went to Butler next day to
know about this "cuss money" B. had
some trouble in convincing the newly-made.
enlightened voters, that ''cussing' was not
taxable. Talbotton Gazette.

A YANKEE BOY.

A tourist tells the following story: We
recently met our friend, DR.. Lord, former.
ly of Boston. He has been q resident Of
this section for about six years. During
his first few years he was extensively en-
gagged in buying wool, and on one occasion
becoming bewildered with the multiplicity
of crooked roads over the broad prairies, he
rode up to a small cabin inclosed in a clump
of locust trees, and hailed a white-headed
boy perched on the top Of a hen-coop,
with
"Halloa, boy!' =,
81 reckon you're stranger, was the
response. ......
"Look here. sonny"
81 amt your sonny"
'sNo, not my sonny, but if you will jump
down and come here, I'll give you dime.
The boy sprang as if alighting from a
wasp's nest, and, coming up to the stranger,
exclaimed ........
"Well, old hoss, what is it 2"
GIVE lost my way, and don't tknow where
I am. Can you tell me?"
eyes, you're on that horse"
Mr.. Lord laughed at the boys wit, and
handed him dime. The boy took the
money, looking upon it with mingled feel
ings of wonder and delight, and said: :
II reckon you must have lots of money!"
"Why o?'
"Cause you slather it away So" -.
"What's you fathers nalne?" inquired
Mr.. Lord. ....... .........
"Bill Jenks," was the reply.
"Ah! yes, know him. exclaimed MIR.
Lord, che grows wool, don't he :"
"sNo, but his sheep does.
eff you knew me, my lad, you would be
more respectful in your replies. I'm a
friend of your father; my name is Lord. I"
"Oh yes,'' exclaimed the astonished
lad, GIVE heard Pap read about you in the
Bible," and starting for the house on a dead
run, he bawled out at the top of his lungs {:
."Mother, mother, the Lord is out here
on horse back, and he's got lost.

ON THE TRACK.

The other day, heard mother ask her
little son to do something. Gin minute,
be replied. She spoke again. But it was
one, two, three, four, five times before ne
minded her.
It makes me think of the switch-tender s
bow. What if he had waited minute be-
fore minding his father? A switch-tender
in Prussia was just going to move the RAIL-
in order to put coming train of cars on
side-track, when he caught sight of his lit
tie son playing on the track. The engine
was in sight, and he had not moment to
spare. he might jump and save his child
but he could not do that and turn the switch
in time; and if it were not done, the on.
coming train would meet another train, and
a terrible crash and mash take place. The
safety of hundreds of lives depend upon his
fidelity. What could hedo? What did he
do? "Lie down. lie down. he called,
with loud, quick voice to the child; and
Selling the switch, the train passed safely
on it's proper track.
Did the heavy train run over the little
boy? Was he killed? Was he crushed to
pieces? No, for he did just as his father
told, and did it instantly. He fell fiat be.
tween the rails and the cars went high over
his head: and when the anxious father
sprang to the spot, there he was alive and
well: not q hair was touched. 1t was his
auick obedience, you see, that saved his
| life. He did not stop minute. Even q
moments hesitation would have been toe
late.

I have seen French ponys 60 on the ice
faster than you could telegraH, built like q
pumpkin seed, and with pedigree just
about as pure as dock rats.
Still, if you or should talk these things
among the literati ov the hoss stable, we
should probably git our front teeth knock
ed out. IF wuz goin' to buy trottin
hoss wouldn't ask about his pedigree eney
more than would ask who made mint ju
lep. If the boss didn't suit me, am dred
full sartin the pedigree wouldn't. Old E.
clipse never wuz beaten in his day, and his
brother wasn't fast enuff for modern herst
hoss,

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.

The following parody on Tennyson's Charge Of
the Light Brigade" which is going the rounds Of
the press is founded on statement of Rev. DR..
Guthrie, of Scotland, to the effect that he had
once seen six hundred people asleep in church.
Der their devoted head,
When the law thunder'd,
Snugly and heedlessly,
Snored the six hundred. .
Great was the preachers theme;
Screw'd on was all the steam;
Neither with shout nor scream
Could he disturb the dream
or the six hundred.
Terrors to the right Of them,
Terrors to the left of them,
Terrors in front Of them
He'll itself plundered "a O.
Of its most awful things. -....... .. .
Weak minded preacher filings
At the dumb-founded.
Boldly he spoke and well;
All on deaf years it fell -.
Vain was his loudest yell
.' Volley'd and thundered;
For caring-the truth to tell
s Neither for heaven nor he'll,
Snored the six hundred.
Still, with redoubled zeal, "
Still he spoke onward .' .'
And, In wild appeal,
Striking with hand and heel
Making the pulpit reel
Shaken and sundered-
Called them the Church's foes,
Threatened with endless woes
Family the answer rose ..
proofs of their sweet repose)
From the united nose
Ofthe six hundred.
Sermons Of near an hour,
Too much for human power;
Prayers, too, made to match,
(Extemporaneous batch,) -.---
Wofully blundered;
With service of music
Fit to turn every pew sick
Should it be wondered?
Churches that will not move
Out Of the ancient groove
Through which they have founder'd
If they will lag behind,
Still must expectto find
Hearers ofsuch a kind
AS the six hundred.
