From the Wagon to the Pulpit.

Before Sam Jones went to preaching he
ran public dray in Gainesville, his na'
tive town. He was a familiar figure
around the depot, and he at that time
hauled all the drummers' trunks from the
depot to the hotel. Many veteran drum
mers yet remember Sam as drayman.
His outfit was a small, rickety, rattling,
ramsbackliDg wagon and an old sorrel
horse, that was old and experienced
enough to have come down from the rev.
olutiouary war. This horse WAS char
acter in his way, aud some people say he
was the cause of Sans reformation. He
was as humble horse as one would wish
to see. He submitted to all Sans cuffs
and rebuffs withous any protest other
than mildly backing his fea bitten ears.
He had an air of one who vas always
deeply engaged in thoughts and looked
upon the frivolities of this life with gu.
preme disdain. And then Sans horse
was extremely unsociable in his temper
ament. He never cared to make any new
acquaintauces and seemed desirous Of
treadiDg the wine press of sorrow alone.
For many days he went on in the same
quiet way, drawing Sans rickety old
dray with the sublimest fortitude. It was
never necessary for Sam to tie him when
he left him, for he had such insurmount'
able constitutional objections to locomc-
tion there was little danger of him taking
his departure. So Sam thought, and so
it went for many, many days.
But things do not always remain the
same, alas Z!
One day Sans horse was seen, to the
most extreme surprise of Tie Cartersvil.
liaus, tearing down Main street, followed
by the dray, which was rolling about from
one side to the other. Down the street
he went like mad, and seems wonderful
to those who knew him intimately that
he could acquire such speed. Sam, who
had left him for some purpose, stood
watching his mad career eagerly.
Giles decided to emigrate," Sam re-
marked, as the horse continued his wild
flight.
Presently the horse swerred 10 the
right and the wagon struck against a tree
with crash and came TO atandstill.
The spectators all went do"n to survey
the wreck. 1t was complete one,
indeed. Sam stood and looked at it ST.
lently for some moments in deep rehec-
ton. There was pathos in his voice
when he finally turned around and said :
II guess III have to Gud some other
way to make living"
In few weeks Sam left Cartersyil!e
and went down near Columbus.
"Thc next l heard or saw of Sam, "
said the gentleman who told NE the story,
she came back to Gainesville aud
preached sermon. went ont to hear
him, and l never saw such complete
change in q mau."-At!antG Constellation

An Astounding Swindle Finds Many
Dupes.

CHARLESTON, ". Va, Sept. 2O.-One
of the most astounding suindles in the
country has just been brought to light
here by the federal detectives, who have
arrested Henry Ash and George W. Rose
two of three ringleaders. Robert +.
1ivsly, the msn who originated the
scheme, escaped to the mountains, but
posse is after him.
Some weeks ago these three men or
ganized at St. Albans, this county, a
branch of what was alleged to be the Ma
tionaI Assembly, said by the conspirators
to be o patriotic order, having for its OBJ
iect the relief of the National Govern
ment. 1t was proposed to put into pos
session of the government all the gold
coin boarded up by the people, to the
end that the government might be en-
abled to meet its obligations and be saved
from National repudiation. The Treas
ury Department, it was explained, had
plenty of paper money, and had agreed
that for all the gold coins paid to the "as-
sembly" and certified Dy the officers,
there would be paid five times the sum
in paper currency. Nothing less than
5000 would be accepted from any one.
The thing took in surprising way
The country was secured for gold. One
man paid 81 200, another $500, and scores
gave from 5000 to $500 for the worthless
certificates of the swindlers. The Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railroad Companv paid
its employees il, gold and large sums Of
this money went into the Golfers of Live
ly and his pals. Poor men borrowed.
begged and mortgaged, that they might
raise gold, and many dollar of hard
earned savings went into the Assembly
for the relief of tF, government"
The postollic. authorities got wind O.
the thing about week ago, and to-day
the arrests were made. The excitement
over the swindle is great. 1t is estima-
ted that the swindlers obtained ovel
$50, 900 from their dupes, many of whom
are left pennies.

Women Never See q Joke.

"Brown, do you know why you are
like a donkey?"
"Like donkey? echoed Brown,
opening wide his eyes. "No, l don't"
"Do you give it up?"
81 do"
Because your better half is stubborn
ness"
"That's not bad. Ha /! ha I'll give
that to my wife when l get home"
"NIrs. Brown," he asked, as he sat
down to supper, "do you know why I am
so much like donkey ?"
He waited a moment, expecting his
wife to give it up. She looked at him
somewhat commissaratingly as she an
swered:
II suppose because you were born 3d."
