A Bashful Bridegroom.

A friend sends us the following
story: "When I was young I was the
most bashful boy West of the Allie
ghanies. I wouldn't look at a girl,
much less speak to a maiden; but for
all that I fell desperately in love with
a sweet, beautiful neighbor girl. It
was a desirable match on both sides.
and the old folks saw the drift and
fixed it up. I thought 1 should die
thinking Of it. I was gawky, aw.
ward country lout, about 10 years Of
age; she a refined and fairly well edu-
Gated girl in the country and at a time
when girls had superior advantages,
and were, therefore, superior in cul.
ture to the boys. I fixed the day of
as far as I could have it put. I lay
awake in cold perspiration as the time
drew near and I shivered with agony
as I thought of the terrible ordeal.
The dreadful day came; Invent through
the program somehow, in a dazed,
confused, mechanical way; the guests
one by one departed, and my hair be-
gan to stand on end. I felt like fee
ing to the woods, or spending the
night in the barn, or leaving for the
West never to return. I was deeply
devoted to Sallie; I loved her harder
than mule can kick; but that dread
full ordeal-I could not, I dare not
stand it. Finally the last guest was
gone, the bride retired, the family
gone to bed, and I was left with the
old man. John, said he, you can
take that candle; you will find your
room just above this. Good night,
John, and may the Lord have mercy
on your aoul,' and with mischievous
twinkle of the eye the old man left
the room. When I heard him slam a
distant door I staggered to my feet
and seized the candle with a nervous
grasp. I knew that it could not be
avoided, yet I hesitated to meet my
fate like a man. A happy thoug bit
struck me. I hastily climbed the
stairs, marked the position Of the land
ing and the door of the bridal chamber.
I would have died before [ would have
disrobed in that holy chamber, where
awaited me trembling girl. l there
fore decided to make the usual pre-
paration without, blow out the light,
open the door and friendly darkness
would at least mitigate the horrors Of
the situation. IT. was soon done, the
dreadful moment had come, l was
ready; I blew out the light grasped
the door-knob with deathly and ner-
yous grasp-one moment and it would
be over. leaped within-and there,
around glowing hickory fire, with
candle brightly burning on the bureau,
was the blushing bride surrounded by
the six lovely bridesmaids I"-Pulasks

- It is by no means an uncommon
thing to see on the closed doors of

the circumstance is in consequence Of
the death of the proprietor or mem

man who kept a cobbler's shop in a
western town to reverse the order Of
things. On the occasion of his daugh-
ter's marriage a large piece of paper
was tackled on his barred door. Across
the paper struggled these words, "This
Store is closed on the Account Of some
Fun in the Family"
There lives in town in South

world for her or his welfare. Not
long age the husband was taken i'll,
and his wife rummaged around to find
some medicine in the house. Finally
she came across box of little black
pills. There was no writing on the
cover of the box to tell what they
were, but as they resembled a certain
liver pill the wife concluded that rhey
must be the required thing. She gave
them to her hubby regularly, and he
seemed to improve. About a week
after, when he had got down to the
last pill, he chanced to turn the box
over. He gave a yell that startled
the whole neighborhood. His wife
ran to him, thinking that he was dy-

Lesson for q Boy Governor.

TO the Editor of the State: Away
back in the forties I was plow boy,
and in common with most all plow-
boys, knew what a bumblebee .was.,
So having disturbed a nest Of them
located in the hollow root Of an old
pine stump, and that stump in the
field where I plowed, proved to be
quite a menace to both myself and
horse. The stump, or rather the bees,
had to be respected because they had
stinging as we'll as singing end.
In consultation with older and meaner
boys, and following their advice gave
me serious trouble. I was disposed to
make fight with the bees, but had no
experience as bumblebee fighter,
hence the consultation. The advice.
given in order to become a successful
fighter was to divest myself Of all
clothing except a shirt, (plow-boys
then only wore one shirt,) then arm
myself with good brush, a fence
rail with a sharp end then proceed
to work. When on the ground, lay
down the brush, with the sharp rail
burst the root; throw down the rail,
take up the brush and sail in.
Well, sailed in, and tried to sail
out. had followed my instructions,
I was stripped for the fight, and the
fight proceeded. Holy Moses Great
gewhillikens, how I did get hurt. Mr..
Editor, it has been more than fifty
yeary since that fight occurred, but
I'll be blamed if I can't see, hear and
feel them bumblebees to this day. 1t
! was like Bates dog eight. "They fout
and fout, they fout and fout, and we
| all fout." got whipped, and badly
whipped, and from that time till now
| 1 have been powerful cautious. When
| the fight ended, l was on one side Of
the field, and my clothes, except what
little was left Of the shirt, on the
other side. That was not bloody
shirt, but it had history. and it had
it then. The sun was shining with
the spirit and the understanding, and
a very penetrating understanding
| where the stings of those bees were
left. The casualties OH the other side
I never knew, for I never stopped to
inquire that day. Though by no means
q common swearer, I swore in my
wrath that I would never again take
an older boys advice about fighting
bumblebees if he said I must fight
with my breeches off, and never have.
So in mentally Illuminating on some
of the recent happenings in this State
J in which the election and dispensary
[ laws have figured, it has occurred to
| me that our Governor is Of the plow-
boy age, as it relates to Governors,
and if he don't mind how he takes
counsel with the older boys how to
fight the United States bumblebees,
he will find himself on one side of
the field with nothing on but the gu
bernatorial shirt and the remainder Of
his official toggery hanging on the
| other side, with the blamedest lot Of
United States bumblebees he ever saw
in the middle, and dashing in their
mad fury at everything that looks like
| a South Carolina Governor shirt tail,
or q mad Senator cooked hat. So 60
| slow, boys; don't holler till you get
| out Of the woods, and then keep in
| the middle Of the road, if you want
to prolong your days in the land that
your "daddies took from the inguns. !"

tom was kept up until 1885,. and the
Methodists and Baptists declare now
that some of the seceders haven't
given up yet.
A few of the old-time distillers sur
yived the war, and attempted to do a
little business when it was over. One
noted for making extraordinarily pure
whiskey and fine brandy was known
by everybody for miles around in both
States as Uncle Edmund Blanton.
About 1867 half dozen delegates on
their way to a Baptist association
stopped over at his house for the
night. It was about dusk when they
arrived, and after their horses had
been watered, fed and stabbed, and the
guests were comfortably seated in
split.bottomed chairs around a roaring
lightwood FIRE, Uncle Edmund set his
decanter out on the sideboard and
said:
"Brethren, there is something that
I think very good: made it myself,
and it is what I drink He then
took the stopper out and began filling
the glasses, saying in self-satisfed,
half-soliloquizing way as he poured:
"Look what a beautiful yellowish
amber fluid this is, and it pourS like
castor oil, which shows, brethren, that
it is mellow to the queen taste. Will
you all try little?"
Two of the laymen declined, saying
that they never "used," but two of
the preachers stepped up to the side
board and tasted the contents of the
decauter. One of them remarked, ,1s
he finished his share and that Of the
laymen, too:
"Well, brethren, l do use That 8
a part of my raisin' that I've never
forgot" !"
The usual price Of whiskey in the
old days was from 81 to 80 cents a
