4 rHRrLL1na SITUATION.

The following story, which is given
as a fact, can hardly be surpassed
even by the imaginary situations
that mark many specimens Of the
modern drama:
Near the city OK Detroit, man by
the name of Macarthur was crossing
the railroad track in the night time,
when his foot caught fast In frog
and his efforts to extricate II were Of
no avail. His boot fitted 80 closely
that he could not draw his foot ont,
and At length be could hardly move
his leg from pain. He found that be
must either be run over by the next
train or make known bis situation.
He shouted himself hoarse, but no
one came. After having been pris-
oner for upward Of an hour he heard
the whistle. He had mgtch.box
in bis pocket, papers in his bundle,
and the idea came to him to sigma
the train. Tearing the papers off biz
bundle, and getting at some letters,
he rolled them into q heap, and fol
fear the flames would die out too sud
denly he added his clothes. Thu
bundle was then made fast to tho
end Of his walking stick, and be wal
ted until the headlight of the locomo
tive should appear. II finally gree
ted bis vision and be struck hi
match, but gust of wind blew !
out. Another match was struck, AM
in an instant he waved his sigma
back and forth, and just when h
thought death was certain he hear
the whistle for brakes. He was saved
but the engine had only thirty fec
more to 90 to crush him.

Perseverance is often better than Q

toward getting on than is generally
supposed; many people lag behind,
or miss the way altogether, because
they do not see the simple and album
dant means which surround them on
all sides, and 50 it happens that their
means are aids which cannot be
bought with money. Those who

RETURN OF THE HMIoRANrs.

| 81 " .. (
Three years ago several families
were enticed away from Cobb coun-
| ty, with bright hopes and fond an
ticipatious of modern Eldorado in
Arkansas. They sold all their earth,
| ly goods, and ia due time, after an
ardous overland journey, they ar
rived in Arkansas. There they
spent three yeats in fruitless efforts
to amass the expected fortune, but
alass ! they were doomed to be dis
appointed.
They discovered that the soil was
no better than that they had left be-
hind in Georgia the climate of
their adopted home was more inhos-
pitable; society was at low ebb !;
sickness and disappointment preyed
upon them, and after many hard>
ships, which they suffered for three
years, they at last determined to re-
turn to Georgia. They passed
through Dalton last week in eight
wagons. They represent that they
suffered untold hardshsps in Arkans
sas, and had they not carried with
them money sufficient to bring them
back again, they would to-day, with
thousands Of miserable people, be
suffering, far away from home and
friends with no possible prospect Of
ever returning to their native land.
When these people getsafely housed
on their old lands, it is doubtful if an
emigrant agent. or . bogus adver-.
tisement, can induce them to leave
the State again, in the fruitless ef
fort to find q better place. These
people seemed to be intelligent, and
some money, with which they made
some purchases in Dalton.
What warning this is to the
young men Of our State, who are
contemplating trip to Texas, or

TiDY WOMEN. Tidy women al
ways make a good impression upon
their friends. Yet, a tidy woman il
not necessarily extravagant. She
doesn't dress ia rich apparel, don

ornaments. Tidiness consists Of an.
ensemble Of good taste, with no pre-.
dominances Of any special item, and
is one Of those virtues Or possessions
which seem to come 81 nature, just
as does its opposite, slovenliness. ~

JUDGING By APPEARANCES.

4 When Maine was a district O
Massachusetts, Ezekiel Whitman
was chosen to represent the distric
in the Massachusetts Legislature
He was an eccentric man, and one
of the best lawyers of his time.
He owned farm, and did much
work on his land /; and when the
time came for him to set out foi
Boston, his best suit of clothes was
a suit of homespun. His wife OBJ.
jected to his going in that garb, but
he did not care. II will get a nice,
fashionable suit made as soon as
reach Boston," said he.
Reaching his destination, Whit,
man found rest at Doolittle's City
Tavern. Let it be understood that
he. was q graduate of Harvard, and
at this tavern be was at home. As
he entered the parlor Of the house
he found several ladies and gentle
men assembled, and heard q remark
from one Of them Sab, here comes
a countryman Of the real homespun
genius. Here's fun" Whitman
stared at the company, and then sat
down. sa M s ss
"say, my friend, you are from the
country ]" remarked one of the gem
tlemen.
"Ya-as,'' answered Ezekiel, with
q ludicrous twist of the face.
The ladies Uttered.

The ladies clapped their hands ;
but judge their surprise when the
stranger, rising, spoke calmly and
clearly as follows;
"Ladies and gentlemen, permit
me to wish you health and happi-
ness, with every blessing earth can
afford and may you grow better
and wiser with advancing years,
bearing ever in mind that outward
appearances are often deceitful.--
You mistook me, from my dress, for

same superficial cause, thought you

mistake has been mutual"
