Pap's got his patent-right and rich as all crea-
ton;
But where's the peace and comfort that we oil
had before?
Let's 60 vistin back to Griggsby's Station
Back where we used to be so happy and so
pore;
The likes of US livin' here! It's jest mortal
pity
To see us in this great big house, cyarpets on
the stairs,
And the pump right in the kitchen And the city !
city city!
And nothin' but the city all around us every
where's!
Climb clean above the roof and look from the
steeple,
And never see robin, nor beech or ellum
tree!
And right here in ear shot of at least thousan'
people,
And none that neighbors with US, or we want to
go and see
Let's go visitin' back to Griggsby's Station
Back where the latch strings hangin' from
the door;
And every neghbor round the place is dear as 9.
relation
Back where we used to be so happy and pore!
want to see the Wiggenscs, the whole kit and
bilin',
A-drivin' up from Shallow Ford to stay the
Sunday through;
And want to see them hitchin' at their son-in-
laws and pilin'
Out there at Lizy EIlen's like they used to do
want to see the piece quilts the Jones girls is
MAXIM
And want to poster Laury bout the freckled
hired hand,
And joke her bout the widower she come purp
nigh a-takin',
Tell her pap got his pension lowed in time to
save his land.
Let's go a visitin' back to Griggsby's Station
Back where there's nothin' aggervatin' any
more,
Shet away safe in the wood around the old loca-
ton
Back where we used to be so happy and so pore!
1 want to see Marindy and hep her with her
sewn',
And hear her talk SO lovin' of her man that's
dead and gone,
And stand up with Emanuel to show me how
And smile as I have saw her, fore she put her
And want to see the Samples on the old lower
Eighty
Where John, our oldest boy, he was took and
buried, for
His own sake and Katy's-and want to cry with
Katy
As she reads all his letters over, writ from the

What's in oil this grand life and high situation,
And nary pink nor hollyhawk bloomin' at the

Let's go visitin' back to Griggsby's Station
Back where we used to be so happy and SO

SuIl-lOWCI lillChClo, dlu OFOA hAlio, anu
bimeby l come to dug-out.
"I didn't see it at first, l was so busy
thinkin', and the first thing I knew l
was right up to it and see the stove-pipe
stickin' out of the top. The man came
out and asked me to stop and git some
thin for me and the ponies to eat.
His wife come, too, and asked, but l
told 'em my boy was dyin', and l
couldn't stop. And the woman brought
me piece of bread it was all she had,
she said-pointin' out to the corn where
a hot wind had dried it all up. And
then she fell cryin', and asked how
old was my boy, and said maybe her
boy would starve, now everything was
gone. And the man give the ponies
little water, and 1 thanked 'em and put
the bit of bread on the seat beside me
and went on. ! could see the ponies
was beginning to lag a little. This
feller was fresher'n t'other, and jest as
l got most through sunhower thicket
t'other one dropped. l didn't waste
no time. l jest jumped out and un-
hitched the live one, pulled off his har-
ness, put the blanket I'd had on the
seat onto his back, and jumped on, and
away we went again"
"Fine little beast" said the old-timer,
stepping to the edge of the sidewalk to
pat the pony's head, while the halfdozen
negroes, who had gathered during the
progress of the story, groaned and roll
ed their white eyes and the Southerner
murmured something about the devil.
81 come to sod house purity soon,"
went on the man, "and told 'em what
had happened and to go and git the
harness and blackboard. Then l went
on and this little feller held out to git
me to the house."
The man stopped and looked down
the wide street as if he had forgotten
his listeners. The group was silent, as
if knowing his thoughts; then bent,
old negro touched his hat and asked
softly: elbow was dat boy, mas'r?"
Tie man rubbed his coat-sleeve across
his eyes. "Jest gone" he said; "but
he knew me-"
"And so," he added, after little
pause, "I don't never want no mate for
this one. like him better alone. He
brought me through to see my boy"
The bent old negro went around and
put his arm over the pony's neck. ard
give ye my pore ole life," he muttered,
"if ye'd take me to my boy. | reckon
ye cayn't do that, honey. He's done
gone, reckon"
And he was still muttering and shak-
ing his gray old head as the group broke
up.

have been fixed. What might have
been, or rather what might not have
been, had this woman lived few years
longer? Did not Martin Van Buren
win the everlasting friendship of Jackson
and the succession to the Presidency by
adhering to the cause of Mrs. Eaton?
Had Mrs. Jackson lived there would in
all probability have been no Eaton issue.
Martin Van Buren would not have been
President and the course of politics for
many years might have been changed.
All this by few more years of life to
the girl baby who was born one morn
ing in June in the old mill on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Witty Judge DoOIy of Georgia.
SaUdnnah Netes

In 1922, at Wilkes Superior Court,
five gentlemen made application and
were examined for admission to the
Bar. Among them were three broken
merchants. Wirt's life of Patrick Henry
had lately been given to the public and
it will be remembered that Henry was
a broken merchant. Judge Dooly had
read the work and when the threo nner-
chants applied for admission Judge
Dooly said, in his petulant and satirical
tone: "Wirt's life of Henry will do
great injury-it has given the world to
suppose that it is necessary for a man
10 break as a merchant before he can
be lawyer"
Judge Dooly, while at Warrentown,
was walking out one afternoon and saw
the town filled with children just out of
school. 1t was in the days when the
ruinous policy of the tariff was being
discussed all over the South. "Where
did all those children come from?"
asked the Judge. He was told that they
were raised in town, and that he did
not see half of them. "To be sure, you
don't say so All! this is, I believe,
species of domestic industry that needs
no protecting duties to support it. The
South is rich in children, tariff or no
tariff. Let the industry go on"
The ladies at certain dining party
were discussing the character of young
bride who had lately come among them.
They said she was lady of such fine,
even temper that they knew that Judge
Dooly, who was present, would be
pleased to make her acquaintance. The
Judge said that under different circum-
stances he should be highly gratifed,
but as she was lady of fine, uniform
temper, he must beg to be excused, for
he never knew but one lady of that
character, which was old George C.'S
wife. He had known her intimately
for forty years, during the whole of
which time she had been of uniform
temper-that she had been mad one
day with another, uniformly mad, with
the least variation, ever since he first
knew her and he prayed God that he
might never know another.
Judge Dooly was man of the warmest
charity. He observed on one occasion,
when beggar asked for aims, that he
was early taught, from refusing to give
to an unfortunate widow in Savannah,
never to let the devil cheat him out of
another opportunity of bestowing char
ity; that he had determined to err on
the safe side ever after, and to give
something in all cases of doubt.
A certain lawyer in Lincoln county
was a candidate for the Legislature.
When asked by Judge Dooly as to his
chances for an election, the lawyer re-
piled that he was apprehensive he would
be defeated, Gas the people in the
county had a strong prejudice against
voting for lawyer" "Oh," replied
the Judge, "if that is all, will aid, you,
for you can get certificate from me at
any time that you are no lawyer" 1t
is hardly necessary to say the proffered
aid was unhesitatingly rejected.

"will you be kind enough to sew some
bottoms on my overcoat? They are

ed her bonnet on, "but the heather are
suffering and haven't moments time
to spare. l am late for the sewing So
