•Ulider Itis adtuirable manage-
ment the ice acquired an tin us-
ually smooth and slippery char-
acter, and when the work- was
thoroughly done, the small boy
retired to' the second-story front
wiiidojv and waited for' the sur-
prise party to bi-eak up.
Tlie nioon was at the full, and
slioae brightly when the iirst
pair of,miscreants —tlie young
man who sat on the jelly-cake
and a heavy young lady, to
whom he was tiliianced—issued
from the front door and instant-
ly sat down with iremendous
vmphasis. Close behind them
came the rest of the raiders,
who with one accord strewed
themselves over tlie ground, un-
til in some places they were col
lected three or four deep. The
shrieks of the ladies and the
stronger remarks of the men
lii led the air. No sooner would
a struggli ng w letch regain his
leet thtm Tie would sit down
again with renewed violence.
The affrighted clergyman and
his wife gazed With wonder at
the appalling spectacle, and the
good small boy never ceased t,o
sing "What Shall the Harvest
He," at the very top of his lungs
—interspersing that stirring
hymn with a wild "whoop"
whenever a particularly bril-
liant pair of stockings waived
in the air.:
Although only three persons
sustained fatal injuries, there
was scarcely a member of the
party who escaped without more
or less serious wounds, either of
I'ody or clothing. Seventeen
legs, two ribs, six arms und a
nose were broken; five ankles
and six wrists were sprained,
and one shoulder was dislocated.
The i«y pavement was strewn
with fragments of teeth, specta-
cles, coats, trousers and Skirts,
and Master Sawyer picked up
enough copper land silver change
the next mortiing to enable him
to buy twelve tickets in" a faffle
for a broken Shot-gun, and to
subscribe handsomely to the
missionary fiihd.
Hold on, Boys —Hold on to
your tongue when you are just
ready to swear, lie, or speak
harshly, or use an ihlproper
word. Hold on to your hand
when you are about to punch,
strike, scratch, steal, or do any
improper act. Hold oil to your
foot when you are on the point
of kicking, running off from
study, or pursuing the oath of
error, shame or crime. Hold on
to your temper.when you are
angry, excited or imposed upon,
or others are angry with you.
llold on to your heart whei!,evil
associates seek your company
«nd invite you to Join in their
mirth, games and revelry.i Hold
on to your good name at all
times, for it Is of more value
than gold, high places, or fash

case, and as there was nothing
w 1 lerovvifit to rebut or offset the
claim, tlie only, thing left to do
was to pay it. "No." said Peter;
"I hired y<>n to 'speak, in my
case, and now speak."
: Mr. Stephens told him there
was nothing to say; lie had
looked on to-see that it was made
out., and it was.
.Peter was' ob&tinate, and at.
last Mr. Stephens told ,liim to
make a speech himself if he
thought, ope coiild be made.
"I will," said Peter Bennett,
•if Bobby Toombs won't be too
hard on me.'
'Gentlemen of the jury-r-You
and-I is plain farmevs, and if we
don't stick together these 'ere
lawyers and doctors will get, tlie
advantage of us. I aiiit ho law:
Ver nor dot'tor, and I aiut no ob-
jections to them in their proper
places ; but they aiut farmers,
gentlemen of the jury.
'Now, this man Royston was
a new doctor, and I weut for him
to come an' to doctor, my wife's
sore leg. And lie come an' put
some salve truck into it, and
some rags, but never done it one
bit of good, gentlemen of the
jury. 1 don't believe he is no
doctor, no way, There is doc-
tors as i# doctors sure enough,
but this man don't earn his
money ; and if you send for him,
as Mrs. Sarah' Atkinson did, for
a negro boy as was worth $1000,
lie just kills him and wants pay
for it.'
•I don't,' thundered the doc-'
tor.'''"
'Did yoti cure him V asked
Peter, with the slow accents of a
judge with the black cap on.
The doctor was silent, and
Peter proceeded:
'As I was sayin', gentlemen of
the jury, we farmers/ when we
sell our cotton has get to give
valley for the money we ask, and
doctors ainf none too good to
be put to the Same rule. And I
don't believe this Sam Royston
is no doctor, nohow;'
Th« physician again put In
hts oar, with, 'Look at my diplo-
ma if you think i am no doctor.'
'His diploma!' exclaimed the
new-lledged orator with great
contempt. 'His diploma! Gen-
tlemen, that is a bie word for
printed slieepskin, and it didn't
make no doctor of the sheep
its first wore it, nor does it of
the rrian as now carries it. A
good newspaper has more in it,
and I p'int out to ye that he
ain't no doctor at all.' '
The man of medicine was now
in a fnry, and screamed out,
'Ask my patients if I am not a
doctor!'
'I asked my wife,' retorted
Peter, 'an' she said as how she
thought"you wasn't.'
'Ask my other patients,' said
Dr. Royston.
This* seemed to be the straw
that broke the camel's back, for
Peter replied with look and, tone
of unutterable sadness:
•That is a haivfrmyiu', gentle-
men of the Jury, and one tnat re-
quires me to die or to have pow-
ers .as I've hearti t ll ceased to

how nice she looks in her new

'I would, if I knew where I

'There's a place down town

An Anecdote of the War.
I have heard an old war-story,
and, by the way, il is one ol the
best of them. I had it from a
former officer under Stonewall
Jackson: "On one of our marih-
es in the early spring, "when a
cliilliugrain had been falling for
days and the slush was almost
waist deep, our command, utter-
ly wretched und broken down,
was struggling along as best it
conld under sucli circumstances.

his appearance for through all its
wretchedness shone the indomit-
able spirit of the souther" sol-
dier-r-tbe man who would be
fonnd at his post or else dead in
the attempt to reach it. I watch-
ed him closely, and as he

heard him mutter to himself :"
