gether at the Crossroads.
Bascom appointed two ov us to draw
likker for the thirsty crowd, and then we
throwd open the doors, oalkilating TO
greet EN- with such cheers ez wood effect
ooally silence all the singin and prayln
they Good do.
The wimmin approached. We Good
see EN-. They we're all closely vailed.
Ez they approached the door ! directed
the likker to be served out faster, so ez
to get the boys tuned up to the right
pitch. But, alas they didn't stop
They didn't stop to sing or to pray
or nothin. They simply passed by,
pulling their walls close to their faces
and snickerin. l looked thro the vail
NV one NV EN- and saw whiskers.
But with rare presence of mind sed
nothin.
"Draw more likker / shouted, "they
will be back in moment"
By the time this drink was down Bas-
com wuz SO far gone that he didn't know
nuthin. He got lunatic, and springln
from the counter insisted on everybody's
not only drinkin but that every man Nv
rs sbood fill bottle and take it with us.
1t is Unnecessary to state what follow
ed. The revilry waxed furious, and by
night the bodies nv the fallen were piled
on top Nv each four deep. Evry drop Nv
likker in the house wuz gone, for wat
wuzn't drank he'd bin allowed to waste,
for men drawd it who wuz to tite to
shet the faucets. Bascom wuz laid out,

One has an office where the lad who
has the situation is losing his first point
He likes to attend the singing saloon and
the theatre This costs more money than
he can afford, but somehow he manages
to be there frequently.
His employers are quietly watching TO
learn how he gets so much spending
money they will soon discover leak
in the money drawer, detect the dishon-
est boy, and his place will be ready for
some Que who is now getting ready Tor 1t
by observing point No. l, aud being
truthful in all his ways.
Some situations will soon be vacant
because the boys have been poisoned by
reading bad books, such as they would
not dare to show their fathers, and would
be ashamed to have their mothers see.
The impure thoughts suggested hy
these books will lead to vicious acts the
boys will be ruined, and their places
must be filled.
Who will be ready for one of these
vacancies
Distinguished lawyers, useful minis
ters, skillful physicians, successful mer-
chants must all soon leave their places,
for somebody else to fill. One by one
they are removed by death.
Mind you ten points, boys they VIII
prepare you to step into vacancies in the
front rank. Every man who is worthy
to employ a boy is looking for you If
you have these points.
Do not fear that you will be over

How to Treat Children.

Pity and love the little children.
Tolerate their pets. Comfort Nellie over
her dead bird, and don't call Molly's
" little white kitty" "cat." 1t is
enough to break a juvenile heart to hear
ones darlings snubbed. How would you
like TO hear your own Frederick Angus
tus called "a dirty young one The
little ones have their tragedies and COM
edies, and laugh and weep more sincere
ly than you do at Falstaff or lear. They
love, marry, keep house, have children,
have weddings and funerals, and dig
little graves for dead mice in the garden,
and mourn into small, white handker-
chiefs, and get brother Jim to write an
appropriate inscription for its tiny head
board. Is not this human nature in lit
tie, and in its small way, as deserving of
a certain respect? You do not despise
your own reflections in concave mirror,
you know.
Cherish the children; mend the frocks;
don't scold them for broken toys for
man is not more inevitably mortal than
playthings. Don't strip their fat shout
ders in winter, nor roast them in fannels
in dog days, because somebody told you
to. Don't drug them don't yard them
don't stuff them with pastry, or starve
them on cold chippy bread |; don't send
them to infant schools at three, or fancy
: balls at ten, nor teach them the com.
= mandments earlier than they can remem.

HOMESTEAD DECISION OF JUDGE
CooKE.-In the case of Hall & Thomp-
son. administrators, Us. Gray, Sheriff
McGukin was ruled to show cause why he
had not made the money on plaintiffs 8
Indictment. This was test case to try
the validity of the homestead Act, and the
Sheriff answered the rule, that, in view of
the penalty for selling the homestead, he
had declined to levy his execution on the
property of defendant given him as a
homestead. The whole proceeding was
simply matter of form to bring the case
before the court, and Judge Cooke an
nounced his decision to be, that, where
Judgment was obtained before the pas
sage of the homestead Act, the property
was liable for the debt, but that no debts
would be collectible off the homestead,
unless secured by a judgment or mortgage
obtained or given before the passage of
the Act. Under this decision, no home
stead holds against judgments anterior to
the / 9th day of April, 1S6s-the date OF
the adoption of the new Constitution and
of the Act in question.

THE VALIDITY OF CoTToN LIENS
An important case, showing the binding
character of cotton liens and the absolute
necessity of planters complying with the
strict terms of their contracts, has just
been decided at Anderson, S. G. We
quote from the htelhgencer Of the 18th
ult.: "The State Us. Hiram W. Majors,
selling personal property on which lien
existed without giving notice to purcha-
ser. This was the first case of this nature
that has come up, and much interest was
manifested. The judges charge to the
Jury was clear and explicit on the law
points, and the jury found Mr.. Majors
guilty. In sentencing, the judge gave
the re easons for this statute, why it was
made an indictable offence, and the ne
cessity, and sentenced the prisoner to pay
fine of fifty dollars, aud serve twelve
months in the State Penitentiary at hard
labor, saying that he intended to have the
people to understand that when they made
a contract for supplies furnished under
the Acts of 1866 and 1872, they had to
stick up to them or bear the consequen-
ces."

RESPONSIBILITY OF COMMON CAR
RIERs.-The Merchants Dispatch Com
pany was sued by r. Krause, of Daven-
port, Iowa. for the value Of goods lost at
the time of the Chicago fire. This CON-
pany claimed that Chicago was the end of
the route, and after they had placed the
goods in their warehouse their response
bility ceased, aud they became liable only
as warehousemen. But the court held
that the defendants wers responsible nm.
til some one else became responsible
until they had placed them in the hands
Of the connecting carrier. Taking them
out defendants cars and putting them in
their warehouse did not shift the liability
in the judgment of tue court, who gave Q
verdict for the plaintiff. If this opinioI
is confirmed, the Dispatch Company viii
have to make good large amount o
losses accruing at the time of the great
fire.
