Coercion Better Than Persuasion.

A good old man, being down town
one evening, was invited to join the
Humanitarian Fudgers. He was de-
lighted, and he joined Next day while
in his garden, he discovered boy in
his apple tree. Here was an opportu-
nifty for showing his neighbors how inn
portant a thing is humanitarian fudge.
''See," he says, chow readily l shall
subdue this wicked boy with humanity"
So his neiohbors all gathered at the
fence and looked through the crack.
my good boy,'' cried the good old
man, ''if YOU will come down out of
that tree Eli give you great, big piece
of cake" 'Cheese it, Gully. Whatter
y'u givin' me?" returned the boy, who
always used good language, because
his parents were both respectable. The
neighbors behind the fence Uttered.
Come, now, you know how wicked it
is to steal. shall have to tell your
father if you don't get down." He'll
call you a liar, old chap, if you do.
You had better 60 in the house. y The
neighbors Uttered again. The good
old man began to lose his temper.
'Really, boy, l shall have to throw
something at you, if you don't come
down. Throw and be derned, you
old fool, I amt afeared O y'u," retort-
ed the boy, snatching another apple.
"Haw, haw," now shouted the neigh
bors Here the good old man, quite
angry, grasped handful of grass and
hurled it at the boy. "Haw, haw, hee,
haw," yelled the asinine neighbors.
"Fire away, old Stick in the Mud,
cried the boy. The old man was red
hot and some of the neighbors had
nearly split themselves. "You young
scoundrel," he shouted, seizing a big
stick of hickory stove wood, ''if you
don't come down this instant I'll bust
you, you Internal little beast" And
without giving the boy chance to re-
ply, the good old man sent the cudgel
flying. 1t grazed the urchin's ear. He
dropped his apple and as the good old
man reached foranoth& 4 club the young
rascal howled, 20, Lordy, Mister, ii
you'll only let me come down I'll pay
for these 'ere apples, | will-O Lordy.'
Down he came, and the neighbors, by
instantly leaping the fence, prevented
the good old man from killing the child
on the spot. The good old man doesn't
go down town any more.-LoaasUttte

Very Love.

who'er hath wept one tear or borne one
main
The Master said, and entered into restl.
Not fearing wrath. nor meaning TO be blest,
Simply for love, howbeif wrought in vain,
OF one poor soul his brother. being old,
Or sick, or lost through satisfied desire.
Stands in Gods vestibule, and hears MS
choir
Make merry music on their harps of gold.
What is ii but the deed of very love
To teach sad eyes to smile, mute lips 10
move?
And he that for a score OF centuries
Hath lived, and called a continent his own,
Giving world-weary souls heavens best sur
prise,
Halts only at the threshold.

The Friend.

Be thou my friend. ! want no lover now;
For love, mans love, is selfish overmuch.
The dear caress, the glance, the tone, the
touch,
The all in all he claims in overflow,
Or standeth injured. All the friends deep
glow
Is for his friend; and in the rack and rush
We call the world nothing need, as such
A friend. Thy faithful hand swift blow
Beats back the word-its questioning doubt
What balsam to my heart thy faith doth
yield!
Lol in my friend bde on him lean,
As one assaulted, on Il steadfast shield.
No dread attack can put my trust to rout;
The past is q as if it had not been.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
YEARS HENCE.

Of all the cranks inhabiting this
planet the benevolent ones are the most
unique. An unusually good specimen of
this class was Joseph Arnold, late Presi-
dent of the Birmingham Bank, whose will
was probated at New Haven last week.
He bequeathes to the town of Derby
thirty shares of bank stock, with the &C.
emulation and increase thereon, to be
held until the principal equals $5.00O,-
600. Then the interest Of this sum is to
be devoted to the payment of the ex-
penses of local secular schools and acade-
mics. 1t will take $50 years to acquire
this sum. In the meantime the bank
may go under, the town disappear or the
world come to an end. The level-head-
ed philanthropist is content to benefit
the present and let the future take care
of itself.

Last Tuesday Judge Vann pronounced sem
tence upon VIM. Pes and David Robinson
both colored
Pells was convicted of breaking into the
building of the Middle Florida Agricultural and
Mechanical Association, on their Fair Grounds.
in the night time, with intent to commit larceny
sentenced to two years in penten,iary
RObinsan convicted of burning the gin
house of Mr.. t. E. Blackshear sentenced to
pententiary for five years.
Both cases will be taken to the Supreme
Court on appeal.
The case of The State VS.. franklin Y Fitch, in
dicted for assault with intent to commit murder,
was called. Fitch was not in court, and as his
counsel knew nothing of his whereabouts, Judge
Vann granted a recess of an hour.
When court was again called Fitch was still
absent, and his absence was apparently as great
mystery to his counsel as to anybody
Judge Vann declared the bond esireated, or
dered rapMs to issue for Fitchs arrest. and
adjourned court for the term.
In response to telegram Fitch came all the
way from New York to stand trial arriving here
Monday afternoon, and his non-appearance in
court Tuesday morning was doubtless surprise
to all who knew that he had come to Tallahas-
see the day before. Just why he did not appear
for trial, perhaps there arc not two persons
outside the Leon county Jail who can give tie
real cause
Early Tuesday morning hat was picked up
in the vicinity of the Jail, and left at Mr. Rawl's
drug store, Though the hat from its general
appearance, would not readily pass for Good
Tempars chapeau. the telegram summoEing
Fitch to Tallahassee was carefully spread out in
the crown of the hat.
After the finding of the hat and telegram, the
early morning surmises were that Fitch had
been on n spree the previous night, and would
show up in few hours. Later in the day it be
came evident that the hat was placed as a
blind and that Fitch was getting away from
Tallahassee fast he could. In the mean
time our efficient sheriff, Captain A. Moselev
teegraphing to surrounding towns, and late
Tuesday evening telegram was received from
the Marshal of Thomasville stating that he had
arrested Fitch. Sheriff Moseley was then on his
way to Townsville, and Wednesday brought
the prisoner back to this city and committed him
to Jail
In view of the fact that Fitch had come from
New York twice to be tried, it may have seemed
strange to many persons hat he would at last
attempt to escape.
The worst feature of this whole affair is the
fact that some persons endeavored to create an
impression that Fitch had been touly dealt with
or forced 10 leave against his own will, citing
the soilcd hat as ground for such opinion.
There have been number of rumors in cir
culation, chief among which are First, that he
was persuaded to leave. Second, that he was
kidnapped, taken to the Georgia line and turned
loose
But since his arrest in ThomrS Vile, where he
registered under assumed name, AL theories and
surmises are exploded, and the case narrowed
down to The single fact that Fitch made up his
mind after arriving here (if not before not to be
tried at this term of the court and he was not
