A LETTER FROM BETSY HAMILTON. THE LOG BOIXXN*. Atlanta Constitution. Dear Cousin:?I have told you about the candy pulliV at Aaat Mahaly's, and the quiltin' at Mis3 Gooden's but I haint nevei told you about the logrollin' at old man Hasher's. Pap lows, them as never has tried to clear a thick timbered new ground mought think it was easy as whittlin' of a stick or takin' a chaw to? bacco; and it is; when they set off and watch t'other folks do it, butjes let'em lay holt and hep a while if they want to know what its cracked up to be; and one man needn't think he can do it all by hisself; he is obleege to ax hands to help him. The Hashers had a little strip of new ground twix them and,the Prices, that they was a fixin' to cleer and plant in corn. They cut down all the under bresh and the trees, 'cept a few whoppiu' big'ns, here and yan, and they chopped around them when the sap was up and deadened 'em. They split a big chance of rails out'n the trees that was fittin',; and- them that wasn't fittin for nothin' had;to be got out'n the way of the plow. They had done all they could do by theyselves, so they'turned in an axed hands to a log rollin', aud the women folks had a quiltiu' the same day. Old Miss'Hasher lowed her rule allers was i'work fust and play atterwards," git the ground cleered and the quilt out, and then frolic to ther "sadifactioo," and she was plum willin' to feed 'em if they could eat sich vittles as she had, and they was more'n welcome. We knowedin reason thar was gwine to be a big crowd, bekase we seed 'em gwine by in gangs by time it was light that morning. . The Bates boys went by with ther hounds like they was gwine a huntin', and pap lowed if they was'fool enough to carry ther dogs he Wasn't gwine to take bis'n, it was too dangersome, they was shore to run in the way of a big log and git kilt or crippled. You see they are nosin' around for rabbits, arid they think yen are turn in' over the logs to git 'em, and you can't skasely beat'em out'n the way. Maw she fastened up old "Scrouge^Csnd-'ITige," to keep 'em from follerin' of us, she lowed she'd ruther they'd howl all day as to git kilt; aud shore enough Tom Bates' old "Bulger" got run over and kilt, and Cap Dew bet ry's little beach-leg fice got crippled. Malindy Jane' and Ann Eliza and Caledony was longer we'uns, and we all went by the newground to Bee 'em at work. Pap and buddy was already thar; they are both brag hands at a log rollin'. Buddy's ekle can't be found,fur as liftin' is consarned. It was gin up thar that day that he could beat airy two on the ground. Most all the settlement boys was thar. Jake Loftis, Iky Roberson, Cap Dewberry, Lum Gabriel, Jim Wig? gins, and all that gang, and I tell you they was a cleerin' that land in a hurry. Some was pilin' bresh, some rollin' logs, some piiin' 'em in heaps, sop*e gwine along firin', and the blaze was high and red, and the smoke retched the sky. All of 'ein had off ther coats, and ther faces looked like the blood would pop out, 'cept ' "a few that was black with pine smoke. Malindy Jane hollered at Jake Loftis: "Hey: Jake, what makes your face so black?" "Kaze smoke follows pretty folks," says Jake, then they all. hollowed and laughed bekase Jake is monstrous ugly. They was all makin' a powerful fuss, hollerin', whoopin', langhin', and singin* loud as they could bawl; and havin' fund run'nin' rigs and jokes on one another, and they had tormented one poor'feller tell he was most ready to cry, and pap lowed the fust one said another \ word to him he'd slap the life out'n him, > so they let. him alone quick, for when pap speaks they know he means what he says. - They wasn't skase of whisky, but it tuck 'em a time git tin' of it. They sent - a feller with a jug atter it, and he stayed so long they sent another feller atter him, ? and that'n stayed so long they sent the third man 'fore they got any whisky, and he found 'em Doth tight, and by the time he got, back with the jug he was drunVn airy one. Some of 'em most kilt they sei ves try in' to prove they was as strong as Bud Hamilton, and some was sharp enough to let t'others do the liftin' and they do the gruntin'. Old Miss Hasher was as proud to git them ashes as old Hasher was to git his ground cleer? ed ; she kep a gwine on about them good hickry and black-jack ashes, what strong lye they make, and how she was gwine to make her soap in the light of the moon in March, and stir it with a sasfack stick and not low nobody else to tech it, and turn it back'ards. We gals wheeled in and soon got the quilt out. After while the men folks come to ther dinner; they stopped at the branch and washed 'fore they got to the house. The Hashers had jest ever/thiag fordinner you could name, and 33 pap says, "the whole face of the veth was kivered with pumkio. pies," and 1 do believe pap wouldn't have thought it was a log rollin' without them pumkin Sies. He calls it "wood pile dettert," ekase you can take a pie in your hand and set on the wood pile and eat it, and that's the way they done over thar that day; some of 'em stood around the table and et but the most of 'ejn tuck ther vit? tles in ther hands and sot on the fence, and on the wood pile and et it?them as wasn't too drunk to eat?and they all nearec! to have"a sight of fun. Jes let Bud Hamilton, or Iky Robersoiror Jake Loftis airy one open they mouths and t'others all laughed. You moughl have thought atter rollin' all them logs, and pilin' that bresb, them boys would be too tired to play, but I jes wish you could have saw 'em. A few of 'em sot about on the wood pile, too shame to come in, but thar wasn't no shame in t'others. Buddy, and Cap Dewberry, and Iky Roberson, and Back Simpson, and Jake Loftis and them can look a mule out'n countenance, they haint afeered of nothin' nor nobody ; airy one of 'em can walk right up to a gal they never have saw before, 'th'out any interaction and talk to her like they bad knowed her allers. Jake he thought he was "mighty much of a man" that night with his new blue breeches his maw had wove and made for him. The odosia. Williamson?they call her "Dosh" ?is-a good hearted, fat, simple minded sort; o" a gal, and she was takin' on about Jake, laughio' at ever'thing he said, and t'other** all makin' fun of her kase they k do wed in reason he didn't keer a straw for her. Ther wasn't cheers enough for all; some was settin' on the beds, and some of the gals settin' in one another's laps, but the biggest part of the gang was standin' up. Jake he was settin' on a three-legged stool and some of the boys was tryin'. to make him git up. "I shant do it," says he. "Oh, git op Jake," says Jim Wiggins, git up and gin Miss Dosh that ar stool." Jake he patted his knee aud lowed: "Come here Dosh and set on my new* blue breeches." "Shet your mouth,", says sb,e, "I say it, I haint a gwine to do it; you think you air mighty smart, Jake Loftis." "Oh! come on Dosh," says Jake, still pattin' his knee, "come on,' you know you want to." "I say it,"vsays she, "you can't fool me Jake, you know you haint in yearnest, I'm not a gwine to do no sich a thing." "Oh ! come on," says Jake, "come on Dosh and set on my new blue breeches." "I say- it," says she, and sidled up to him and flopped herself down on his "new blue breeches." I know you'uns won't believe that, but its so, and it made Ma? lindy Jane tumble mad. Its the talk that her and Jake is engaged. Law?, I aimed to tell you how they played and kissed (t'others, not me,) and dauccd tel atter midnight; and about Cap gwine home longer me, and a power that I haint I got time to write, fur its gittin' too dark to see how to spell, so no more at present. *?* Yourn, Betsy Hamilton. A Free Eide. A free journey by rail inside a car? riage holding a "complimentary" in your waistcoat pocket may be, and doubtless is, a very pleasant thing. To travel free as Mr. George Adams of Wolverhamp ton, England, did the other day, how? ever, i3 scarcely to be recommended. Nor is it at all pleasant, as that gentle? man will be ready at this moment to admit. Mr. Adams found himself in Liverpool sans six sous, and being of a sans souci disposition, determined to get home by a new and original method of "mating the rattler," as a cracksman would say, id est of cheating the railroad company. His idea, to say the least of it, was ingenious, but he had reckoned without his host. He procured two stout pieces of rope, which he fastened to the axles of the carriage, leaving a noose at the end of each. Into one noose he put his legs while he inserted bis shoulders into the other. In this position he hung when the train started. The train was an express and did not stop until Crewe was reached, which is about seventy miles from Liverpool. He was rather uncomfortable when the train began to move, bnt when it got into full swing he had real torture and when he reached Crewe he was nearly dead with fright. Here he was taken into custody. To the magistrate who adjudicated on the case he explained that his sensations when swaying to and fro were something awful and the effect of the sleepers as they rushed past him nearly robbed him, of reason and he "was afraid that every mo? ment the rope would slip from his should? ers and hang him," The magistrate de? cided very cutely that he had had enough punishment, and remarking very sagely that he was not likely to repeat the experiment sent him about his busi? ness. An excursion on the stick of a Congreve rocket or on the tail of a comet might be more exciting than this, but not much.?American Register. Flirtation in Court, Baltimore, March 11.?In 1881 John Tolly Johns, a wealthy and eccentric citizen of Baltimore County, died, leaving an estate valued at about $100,000 and several wills. He was known to have been particularly erratic at the time he made bis last will," which ignored bis nearer relatives, and consequently the latter contested the will. The case came np for trial in the spring of 1882. One of the interested parties was Dr. John Caldwell, a prominent physician of this city, who had his young and charming daughter Maud as a witness to old John's insanity. On the jury was F. L. Barreda Turner, a dashing young member of the Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange. He became smitten with the fair witness, aud conld not refrain from gazing at her pretty face during the remainder of the trial. The young lady, becoming aware of his attentions, and being desirous of making as strong an impression on the jury as possible, smiled at the love-sick juror. He smiled back and afterward bowed, and the salutation was returned. This flirtation was kept up to the dis? may of the defendant's lawyers, who, when they lost the case, tried bard to get a new trial on the strength of this pub? lic flirtation. At the hearing on the mo I tion for a new trial it was proved that Turner had fought hard in the jury room to have the will broken, and bad spoken often of Miss Caldwell, saying at one time: "What a pity it would be to give a ver? dict agaiust such a lovely girl." Mr. Turner acknowledged that he had been smitten, but denied that it in any way influenced his action. As soon as the trial ended, however, he made baste to cultivate Miss Caldwell's acquaintance, and succeeded so well that in ft short time tbey were engaged. The wedding took place quietly on Saturday last. Living too Fast. "We are runnin' away wid de kentry," said the solemn voice of Waydown Be bee as bis name was called. "We am libin* too fast.

A Woman Miser's Fifteen Thousand, Isabella McWean, an elderly woman who has been living iu the village of Essex Centre for the last 30 years, died last week. It was rumored that the old lady was possessed of a large amouut of money and that she hoarded every cent she obtained. She was always very reti? cent and never associated with any of her neighbors. After her death it was decided to search her dwelling. Noth? ing unusual wai found until Hie search? ers entered her apartments, where, on pulling out the drawers of a bureau, they found a number of purses filled with bills. Bills were found in her truuk pinned to the liuings of her dresses, and also gold amounting to $6G8 in English sovereigns. Together with the bills the amount found was $2,368. The search? ers were abnnt to leave the apartment when Mr. Powrie, one of the party, felt some hard lumps in the bed, and ripping the tick open with a knife, he pulled out bag after bag of silver, which were thrown into a basket, and when all was extracted there was as much as one could lift. The money was taken to the vil? lage and a queer variety of coins was displayed. There were old Mexican and Spanish coins not circulated in Canada for over 40 years. When all the money was counted it was found that she was worth about $15,000. Most of this for? tune will go to John McWean, a cousin of the old lady, who came from Scotland about a year ago.?Detroit Free Press, March 1. ? The Coroner of Savannah stopped a negro funeral service on Thursday and removing the shroud and clothing from the corpse there were revealed nine knife wounds inflicted by the mau in whose house the funeral was being held. The victim was Wm. Dunn and the murderer is Jerry Hagins. The latter tried to conceal the murder, reporting to the authorities that it was a case of pueu .monia and making a hurried burial. Duuu's intimacy with JIagins's daughter led to tho crime. The murderer was ar? rested. ? The First Presbytery of the Associ? ate Reformed Presbyterian Church meets in Winnsboro' on the first Monday in April. I All About Adam, Adam missed a great many vexations of spirit that are common to man of this day, Adam never had to try to maiutain a $15,000 appearance on $700 income. Adam never in a fit of abstraction sat down upon a coil of barbed fence wire. Adam never had to wear a collar with saw teeth all around the obstrusive edge of it. Adam never lived next door to a man who was trying to learn to play on an accordeon. Adam never had to fasten one of his suspenders with a shingle nail and the other with a hair-pin. Adam never got to the depot just in time to see the rear end of the rear car disappear around the water tank. Adam never fell over a rocking chair while groping around in the dark after the bottle of paregoric. Adam never had to rock the cradle while Eve ran across the street to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor. Adam never had his only pair of gum shoes eaten up by a dog while he was spending an eveninb with a friend. Adam never had to keep the baby while Eve went out with a determined cast of countenance to reform the world. Adam never sat up till 5 o'clock in the morning to get the return from Ohio and to at last learn that the other fellows bad carried if. Adam never came home at a very late hour from the Lodge to discover that be bad left the latch key in a pocket of his other pair of pants. Adam never had tight bureau drawers at which he was struggling to come out suddenly and set him down with such vehemence as to knock four square feet of plastering off the ceiling. Adam never hud a neighbor's calf to reach over the line fence into his prem? ises on a wash day and cbew off all that part of his other shirt below the enact? ing clause. Adam never went down town trying to remember an injunction to get a wash? board, a pound of soap, a ball of tape, a paper of hairpins, two yards of pink mosquito netting and a mouse-trap. Only a Little Baby. A little baby?only a little baby 1 On? ly ? Ah, well, nobody knows what a little baby cau be but a woman. What com? fort there is in the touch of its soft haud ?the hand that does not know how to reach for what it wants, and is no larger than a little bird's claw. How happy the little head makes the breast it lies on! What a charm there is in it! what joyl Its bath, the laving of its tiny limbs, the dressing it in soft, white things, wrapping it in cosy shawls, putting the toes into the tiny socks. Its sleep, as it lies under its canopy ; its waking, warm and rosy and hungry. The way in which it first "takes notice" of the orange or the bauble I Oh, all these things fill a woman's heart, if she is a real woman; she forgets her interest in everything else, and lives to be a mother. And ob, the hopes that bubble up in her heart; the dreamy, never to be realized perhaps, but just as sweet for all that. Next to the young girl's love dreams come a young mother's dreams over her baby. There are so many babies, men do not know them apart. They believe that all babies cry alike, whereas a mother knows that her own baby has a softer sob than any other woman's. There are women who never had any children, who think it "disgraceful to be dragged down by a baby." But mothers laugh at them. There is hard work, there is care, there are vigils, and much weariness; but there is a baby to love to pay for it all. The Monkey and the Sugar. A recent English writer gives the fol? lowing illustration of the sagacity of ani? mals, which will interest our young read? ers, if not their elders as well: I remember once in India, giving a tame monkey a lump of sugar in a corked bottle. The monkey was of an inquiring mind, and it nearly killed it. Some? times, in an impulse of disgust, it would throw the bottle away, out of its own reach, and then be distracted until it was given bat*-: to it. At others, it would sit' with the countenance of the most intense dejection, contemplating the bottled sugar, and then, as if pulling itself to? gether for another effort of Solution, would sternly take up the problem afresh, and gaze into it. It would tilt it up one way, and try to drink the sugar out of the neck, aud then, suddenly reversing it, try to catch it a3 it fell out at the bottom. Under the impression that it could capture it by a surprise, it kept rasping its teeth against the glass in futile bites, ! and warming to the pursuit of the revolv? ing lump, used to tie itself into regular knots round the bottle. Nothing availed, however, until one day light was shed upon the problem by ajar of olives falling from the table with a crash, and the fruit rolling about in all directions. His monkeyship contem? plated the catastrophe, and reasoned upon it with the intelligence of a Hum? boldt. Lifting the bottle high in his paws, he brought it down upon the floor with a tremendous noise, smashing the glass into fragments, after which he calmly transferred the sugar to his mouth, and mulched it with much satisfaction.?

A Dakota paper gives the following description of '.he approach of a recent blizzard: "Until about 4.15 p. m. the day was sunny, pleasant and with a tempe? rature as mild as Spring. The streets were filled with people, and ladies were promenading in the enjoyment of the etheral mildness. Suddenly, and with? out the slightest warning, a solid white wall of frost and snow appeared in the Northwest. It seemed a? though the bluffs in that direction had suddenly shot upward to a height of 1.000 feet, so solid and compact did this icy world ap- I pear. In a second of time the storm burst with appalling fury, and the win? dows, which had by the mildness of the atmosphere become clear of frost, were heavily coated with clinging snow on the outside and heavy frosted particles on the inside. The air grew terribly cold, and was darkened by flying frost and snow. The high walls of the hotel directly opposite were not to be seen. All objects were hidden by the flying and rapidly driven snow. People on the streets sought shelter, and the stores were temporarily used for protection from the fierceness of the howling blast darker grew the atmosphere, to such an extent that business in the office was Btopped until lights were procured.

' In olden times it was thought that evil spirits came in through cracks and keyholes. The generally approved way to keep them out was to plug up the keyholes and stop the cracks with cotton. Notwithstanding these preventive measures, the evil things had their own way and often came in as they pleased. So conies malaria now-a-days. " We try to keep it out of the keyhole and it comes in by the crack. We stop up the crack, and lo! it comes from a leak in the plumbing, or an opening from some neglected drain, or from some unsuspected source and unguarded direction. We cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give it battle and drive its effects from our systems. If Brown's Iron Bitters is taken in time, malaria has not a ghost of a chance. This is the great family medi? cine. : Your druggist sells it, and you ought to keep a bottle in the house. SPECIAL NOTICE.

BONNER, A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OF MACOtf, GA. In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga., came over to sec mc with tho sail intelligence that his wife was in tho last stages of consumption and that her physician bad pronounced her ease hope? less. I went immediately over, and I felt that nuthlDg could be don>\ Slic was coughing and .spitting incessaBtly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a larg^ quantity of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, iu fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the '11110 you began to ad? vertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til tho prescribed dos* was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do no daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to.perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebt-'d to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on tho subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medi? cine would be required, that he does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long sir.ee a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son 11 give it to his in valid wife, and she was cured as if by magic." Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates. LAMAR, RANKIN & LAMAR. Macon, Atlanta and Albany, tta. Brewer's Lung Restorer for sale by Wil bite & Wilhite, Anderson, S. C. March 20,1SS-I, 35-eow.
