A COLORED boy fom Atlanta, Ga.-a
bright, handsome fellow-was sitting
the other evening in the Stewards office
at the Insane Asylum, accompanying
his rich voice with the sweet tones of a
guitar. During pause some one asked
him if he knew Sam Small. "Yes," he
replied, "Ive often hauled him home in
my hack, drunk. He got religion mighty
quick when he did get it. Isaw him one
night on regular tear, and the very next
thing l knew he was travelling around the
country with Sam JONES'" "St. Paul, too,
was converted quickly" remarked some
one. "Why," exclaimed the darkey, with
an indeseribable look of amazement,
"did he go long wild 'em, too?"

NOVELTY IN DINNERS.

After the soup had been served
the next course, the host gave his
signal and rose from his seat, as did
every other gentleman at the table,
all the ladies remaining seated.
Each gentleman then moved to the
next gentleman's seat to his right.
When this was first done the ladies,
not being let into the secret, were
very much surprised at the unusual
conduct of the gentlemen, and could
not at once comprehend the mean
ing of it; but when they gathered
its full intent, and the charm there
was in it, it was decidedly gratifying
to note the merriment with which
they received the Innovation. Just
prior TO the commencemt mt of the
next course the host gave his signal
again, and each gentleman again
moved one gentleman's seat to his
right,and so on. The entire setting
of the courses was so harmoniously
arranged that at the close of the
dinner each gentleman had visited,
for short space, every lady at the
table, and had at last returned to
her whom he had escorted in TO

am an undertaken by trade. Most
people think that because the business
is such a melancholy one that we never
nave anything funny in it. Why, l
once knew man in our line whose
name was Jolly, and his shop-board
read like this-"A. Jolly. undertaken. "
But that's neither here nor there. I'm
going TO tell something that. if it don't
show the humorous side of our bust
ness, will at least prove that we are not
quite so miserable as would appear on
the surface. A gentleman came to me
the other day about funeral for his
wife. Says he: 1--WE just lost nv
poor wife, and want her to have a re-
spectacle sort Of funeral"-(she had
left him nice little lump sum)-"what
can you fix me one up for2"
"Well," said I, ~ suppose you'll
want mutess"
"Mutes," said the widower, what are
they3"
why, men who walk beside the
hearse with their hands over their eyes
to appear melancholy. We pay them
five shillings EACH"
"Oh, very well, said the gent. "You
can fix me up hslf dozen of then"
"Butif they remove their hands from
their eyes, tn y lose their five shilling"
said the 19dertaker, by way of explain
alton. "And very good arrangement,
too" says he. Well, we came to terms
pretty soon, and the funeral was got
ready mutes and all. They tramped
aloJg all right for while with their
eyes covered, till one of them begins to
sniff, and the following conversation
was the result:

THERE is one man in Cedar Neck
who won't take the CHRONICLE be-
cause it publishes liquor license appli-
cations and adYertises hotels. Yet this
same would-be saint in conducting
his business Of peddler, buys chick
ems from the farmers and sells them
to the motel and liquor dealers-the
very class whom he strenuOusly de-
nounces. Only mouth ago this same
man brought to the CHRONICLE an
effusion, libelous on the proprietor OF
Cedar Beach Hotel, (and which would
proclaim the fact to the public, rela-
tives. friends aud neighbOrs ofa young
farmer in Cedar Neck, that he once,
only. this summer, took too much
beer for his physical welfare), and de-
sired the CHRoNICLE TO publish it over
a ficticious name. This was cowardly;
but the dual character involved is still
further portrayed by facts that show
his Inconsistency. If the hotels ana
Iiouor dealers are eDlissariesot the dew
IL then why minister to their wants !?
Yet our gOdly man has sold goods to
them and even solicited their trade
no one beach hotel alone he has sold
this season at a good round profit
Cwhiskey money!. about slOO worth Of
chickens, and, horror of horrors, he
went into the bar room to receive his
pay. Is the motive that actuates this
man one of hyDocricy? or, is it right
Gus, but led astray by the dollars and
dimes If the former, then we are
sorry he don't read the CHRONICLE
for Talmage's sermons might have
some retaining influence; if the lat
ter, then we pity the cOntrition and
anguish that racks his mind when
saying his evening prayer.
