An ExcursioniSt.

We learn that a merchant of Cherokee
county, who lives near Toonigh, on the
NJ. & n Ga Railroad, was seemingly very
anxious to take pleasure trip to Cincin-
, natl, Chicago and Niagara Falls, DC On
the morning of the 2Sth ult, after giving
some directions in regard to the manage
ment of farm work, turned to his weeping
wife and tried to console her by saying that
he wouldn't be absent more than ten days,
and would probably return very much I'M
proved in health, besides being a thousand
times repaid by visiting those large cities,
and sailing over the placid waters of lake
Erie, and viewing the birds, which Lad left
the scorching rays of the sun in the South
and were basking in the balmy breeze OF
the lake He pressed her hand and gave
her parting kiss, then jumped into his
buggy and was driven hurriedly by his
brother to this place, not daring TO wait for
the down train from Canton, for fear OF
missing connection at this place with the
down passenger train to Atlanta, so as to
purchase his ticket. But we will leave it
with the reader to imagine the surprise OF
his brother when on returning home in the
evening with iaded horse, found that the
Excursionist had taken passage on the re.
turn train on the NJ. Il n. Ga. Railroad and
was at home.

THE WRONG LEG.

The Portland Advertiser tells the
following story: There was an emil
nent sergeant at-law some years ago
Who had a cork leg that was a tri~
umph of artistic deception. None
but his intimates knew for certain
which was the real and which was
the cham limb. A wild young wag
of the cutter bar" who knew the
sergeant pretty we'll, once thought to
utilize this knowledge of the SER
geant's secret to take in green,
newly fedged young barrister. The
sergeant was addressing a special
jury at Westminster 10 his usual ear
nest and vehement style, and the
wag whispered t" his neighbor, you
see how hot old Buzfuz is over bis
case now III bet you a sovereign
III run this pin into his leg up to the
head, and he'll never notice it, he's
so absorbed in his case. He's a most
extraordinary man in that way
This was more than the greenhorn
could swallow, SO be took the bet.
The wag took large pin from his
waistcoat, and leaning forward drove
it up to the head in the sergent's leg
A yell that froze the blood of all who
heard it, that made the hair of the
Jury stand on end and caused the
Judges wig almost to fall off, ran
through the court. By Jove! It's
the wrong leg, and I've lost my mons
ey,' exclaimed the dismayed and
conscience stricken wag, quite res
gardless of the pain he had inflicted
upon the learned sergeant.

Agriculture ia the basis of all o

Agriculture is the basis of all our
national prosperity. To this the
seasons pay their annual tribute by
the regular recurrence of seed time
and harvest, verdaut spring, fowery
summer and stern and stormy win,
ter. There are people who know
but little of commerce, less of me-
chanical appliances, nothing of the
professions, or of literature, science
or art, but there is no land where
farming in some rude form is un>
known. In paradise Adam was in
structed in this primitive pursuit,
and the last man will be similarly
occupied. 1t has engaged the at
tention of the people in all ages OF
the world, ard plays an important
