A LETTER FROM BETSY HAMILTON. THE tOO HOLLIN'. Atlantu Constitution. DEAU COUSIN :-I have told you about the candy pullin' nt Aunt Mahaly's, and the quiltin' at Miss Gooden'* but I haint nevei told you about the log rollin' nt old man Hasher's. Pap IOWH, them as never ha? tried to clear a thick timbered new ground mougbt think it was easy as whittlin' of a stick or takin' a chaw to bacco ; and it is, when they set olf and watch t'other folks do it, hut jes let 'em lay holt and hep a while if tiny want to know what its cracked up to be ; and one man needn't think he can do it all by hisfelf ; bc is obleegc to ax hands to help bim. , . , The Hashers had a little strip of new ground twix thom and.the Prices, that they was a fixin' to deer and plant in corn. They cut down all the und? bresh and the trees, 'cept a lew ivboppili' big'ns, herc and yan, and they chopped around them when the sap was up and deadened 'em. They split a big chanel of rails oul'u the trees that was fi ttl ll and them that wasn't fittin for nothin' had to be got out'n the way of the plow. Thpy bini done all they could do by theysclves, so they'.turned in an axed hands to a leg rollin', and thc women folks had a ouillio1 the same day. Old Miss 1 lasher lowed her rule allers was 'work fust and play ntterward V git the ground cleered and the quilt out,and then frolic to thor "sadifnetion," and she was plum wiitin' to feed 'em if they could eat eich vittles as she had, and they was more'n welcome. We knowed in reason thar was gaine to be a big crowd, bekase we aced Vin gwine by in gangs by time it was light that morning. The Hate? boys went by with thor hounds like they" was gwiue a huntin'. and pap lowed if they was fool enough to carry thor dogs he wasn't gwine to take his'n, it waa too dangersonie, they waa shore to run in thc way of a big log and git kilt or crippled. You see they aro noain' around for rabbits, and they think you aro turnin' over the logs to git 'em, and you can't skasely bent 'cm out'n tho way." Maw she fastened up old "Scrouge," and "Tige," to keep ?ein from foiier'.n' of us, she lowed she'd ruttier they'd how! al! day as to git kilt; and shore enough Tom Bates' old "Bulger" got run over aud kilt, and Cap Dewber ry's little bench-leg fice got crippled. M jd indy Jano and Ann Eliza and Caledony was longer we'uns, and we all went by the newground to see 'em at work. Pap and buddy was already thur ; they are both brag bands at a log rollin'. Buddy's ekle can't be found,fur as liftin' 1B consarned. It waa gin up thar that day that ho could beat airy two on tho ground. Most all tho settlement boys was thar. Jake Loftia, Iky Roberson, Cap Dewberry, Lum Gabriel, Jim Wig gins, aud all that gang, and I tell you they waa a cleerin' that land in a burry. Somo waa pilin' bresh, some rollin' Inga, some pilin' 'em in heaps, some gwine along firin', and the blaze waa high and red, and Ibo smoke retched the sky. All of 'eat bad off tber coats, and Iber faces looked like the blood would pop out, 'cept a few that was black with pino smoke. Malindy Jane hollered at Jako Loftis : "Hey Jake, what makes your faco BO black?" "Kazo smoke follows pretty folks," says Jake, then they nil hollowed and laughed bekaso Jako ia monntrous ugly. They was all makin' a powerful fuss, hollcrin', whoopin', laugbiu', and singin' loud aa they could bawl ; aud liavin' fund run ni n' rigs and jokes on ono another, and they bad tormented one poor feller tell he waa most ready to cry, and pap lowed tho fuat ono Haid another word to him he'd slap the life out'n him, so they let him alono quick, for when pap ?peaka they know ho means what ho Bays. They wasn't tdcaBO of whisky, but it tuck 'em a time gittin' of it. They acut n feller with a jug niter it, and he stayed so long they sent another feller atter him, and thnt'n stayed BO long they sent tho third man 'fore they got any whisky, and he found 'em both tight, and by tho time he got back with tho jug ho was drunk'n airy one. Borne of 'eui moat kilt thevBolvca tryin' to prov? thpy wa.? as strong os ?Jud Hamilton, an J Borne was sh.-rn enough to let t'othera do the ii (Un* and ' they do the gruntin'. GM Miss Haahcr was as proud to git them ashes a? old Hasher was to git his ground cleer ed ; nbc kep a gwine on about them good hickry and black-jack ashes, what strong lye they make, and how aho waa gwine to make her soap in tho light of the moon in March, and stir it with a san lack stick and not low nobody else to tech it, and turn it back'arda. We gals wheeled in and soon got tho quilt out. After while the men folks come to ther dinner; they stopped at the branch and washed 'fore they got to the houso. Tho Hashers had jost ever'thiug fordinner you could uamo, and as pap Bays, "tho whole face of the veth was kivered with pumkin pies," and I do believe pap wouldn't havo thought it was a log rollin' without them pumkin pies. He calls it "woad pile desert," bekaso you can take a pie in your hand and set on tho wood pilo and eat it, and that's the way they done over thar that day ; somo of 'em Blood around tho table and et but the most of 'em tuck ther vit tles in thor hands and sot on tho fence, .-.nd on .the wood pile aud et it-thom as wasn't too drunk to eat-and they all Soared to bave'a sight of fun. Jes let Iud Hamilton, or Iky Roberson or Jake Loftis airy one open they mouths and fothers all laughed. You mought have thought atter rollin' all them loga, and pilin'that bresh, 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 Rharu? lo como iii, hui thar wasn't no shame in fothers. Buddy, and Cap Dewberry, and Iky Roberson, and Buck Simpson, and Jake Loftia and them can loos a mule out'n countenance, they haint afeered of mithin' nor nobody ; airy one of'em can walk right up toa gal they never have ?aw before, 'th'out any interduotiou and talk to her like they bad knowed her allers.

Yourn, BETH Y HAMILTON. A Free Ride. A free journey hy rail inside a car riage holding a "complimentary" in your waistcoat pocket may be, ami doubtless is, a very pleasant thing. To travel free as Mr. George Adams of Wolverhamp ton, England, did thc other day, how ever, is scarcely to ho recommended. \'or i* >? a* 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 <>f n sans souci disposition, determined to fret home by a new and original method of "macing the rattler," as a cracksman would say, ul est of cheating the railroad company. His idea, to Hay the least of it, was ingenious, but he had reckoned without his host. HP procured two stout pieces of ropo, ?hieb he fastened to the axles of the carriage, leaving a noose at the end of each. Into ?nie noose he put his legi while lie inserted bis shoulders into the other, lu this position he hung when (he train started. The train was an express and did not ?top until Crewe was reached, which is about seventy mile- from Liverpool. Ile was rather uncomfortable when the train began to move, hut when it trot into full swing lie had real torture and when he reached Crewe lie was nearly dead with fright. Ihre he was taken into custody. To the magistrate who adjudicated rm the case ho explained that his sensations when swaying to and fro were something awful Hiid' thc effect of the sh opera ns they rushed past him nearly robbed him of reason and IIB "was afraid that every mo ment Hie rope would flip from his should ers and hang him." The magistrate dc cided very cutely that be bad hud enough punishment, and remarking very sagely that he was not likely tn repeat the experiment sc/it him about his bud ness. An excursion on the stick of a Congreve rocket or on the tail of a comet mi-dit be more exciting than this, hut not much.-American Register. Flirtation lu Court, BALTIMORE, .March ll.-In 188J John Tolly Johns, a wealthy and eccentric citizen of Baltimore County, died, leaving an estate valued at about $100,000 ami several wills. Ho was known to have been particularly erratic at ?ho lime ho made his last will, which ignored his nearer relatives, and consequently tho latter contented thc will. The case carno up for trial in thc spring of 1SH2. Uno of the interested parties was l>r. John Caldwell, a prominent physician of this city, who had his young and charming daughter Maud as a witness tc old John's insanity. Cn the jury was F. L. Barreda Turner, a dashing young member of thc Ballimore Corn and I- lour Exchange. He became smitten with the fair witness, and could not refrain from gazing at ber pretty face during thc remainder of the trial. The young lady, becoming aware of his attentions, and being desirous of making as strong an impression on thc jury as possible, smiled at thc love sick juror. Ile smiled hack 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 "hard to get a new trial on tho strength of this pub lic flirtation. At thc hearing on the mo tion for a new trial it was proved that Turner had fought hard in tho jury room to have tho will broken, and had spoken often of Miss Caldwell, saying at one time : "What a pity it would be to give a ver dict against such a lovely girl." Mr. Turner acknowledged that ho had been smitten, but denied that it in any wny influenced his action. As soon as the trial ended, however, ho made haste tn cultivate Miss Caldwell's acquaintance, and succeeded no well that in a Hhort time they were engaged. The wedding took place quietly ou Saturday last. Living toe Fast. "We are runnin' away wid do kentry," said the solemn voice of Way down Bo beo ns his nome was called." "We am libin' too fast.

A Woman Miser's Fifteen Thousand. Isabella McWean, an elderly woman who has been liviug iu the village of Essex Centro for tho last 30 years, died last week. It waa rumored that tho old lady was possessed of a large amount of money and that she hoarded every cent she obtained. She waa always very rou ceut and never associated with any of her neighbors. After her death it was decided to search her dwelling. Noth ing unusual was fourni until tue search era entered her apartments, where, on pulling out the drawer? of a bureau, they found n number of purses filled with billa. Bills wero found in her trunk pinned to the liuioga of her dresses, and also gold amounting to $G68 in English sovereigns. Together with the bills the amount found was $2,368. The search er? were abont lo 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 aa 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 ahe 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 Fret Press.

All About Adam, Admit missed a great many vexations of spirit that arc common to mau of this day. Adam never had to try to maintain a $15,000 appearance on ?700 income. Adam never in a lit of abstraction sat down upon n coil of barbed fence wire. Adam never bad to wenr a collar with saw teeth all around the obtrusive edge of it. Adam never lived next door to a man who was trying to learn to play on an accord?on. Adam never bad to fa-ten one of bin suspender* with .1 shingle nail und thc other with a hair pin. Adan never got to the depot just in lime to see thc rear cud of the rear car disappear around tho waler taut. Adam never fell over a rocking 'jbair while groping around in the dark after lilO bottle of paregoric. A (lam in ver bad to rock the cradle while Kve ran across the street to borrow a cup ol sugar from a tu Ighbor. Adam never bad bis only pair nf gum shot's eaten up b" H ?log while be was spending un eveni: / with a friend. Adam m ver bad to keep the baby while live went out with a determined eas! of countenance to reform tho world. Adam never sat up till ~> o'clock in the morning lo get the return from Ohio and io at last learn thal thc other fellows bad carril d it. Adam in ver cuni" home at a very lute hour from the Lodge; to discover that ho bad left thc latch key in a pucket of Iii? Other pair of pants. Adam never bad tight bureau drawers at which he was struggling to come out suddenly and set him down with such vehemence as to knock four sipiare feet of plastering oir the ceiling. Adam never bad a neighbor's calf to rem h over thc line feme into his prem ires on a wash day and chew oil' all that part of his other ?birt 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 bail of tape, a paper nf hairpins, two yards of pink iuo!>quito netting and a mouse-trap. Only a Mille Baby. A little baby-only a little bnhy .' On ly? Ab, well, nobody knows what a little baby can be buta woman. What com fort there is iii the touch of its. ?oft hand -the baud that docs not know bow to reach for what it wants, and is no larger than a little bird's claw. How happy the little bead make.-; thc breast il lies on ! What a charm lhere is in it ! what joy! Its bulb, the laving of its tiny limbs, the dressing it in ?oft, white things, wrapping it in cosy shawls, putting the Iocs into thc tiny socks. Its sleep, as it lies under its canopy ; its waking, warm and rosy and hungry. Thc way in which it first "laius uotico" of the orango or tho bauble! 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 hop 's that bubble up in ber heart ; the dreams, never to be realized perhaps, but just ns sweet for all that. Next to the young girl's love dreams come a voting mother's drea. is over ber baby, riiero arc so many babies, men do not know them apart. They believe that all babies cry nlike, whereas a mother knows thal ber own baby has a softer sob than any other woman's. There are women who uever lind any children, who think it "disgraceful to bc dragged down by a baby." Hut mothers laugh ot them. There is hnrd work, there is care, there aro vigils, and much weariness; but there is n baby to love tn 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 n tame monkey a lump of sugar in a corked bottle. The monkey was of an inquiring mind, nod it nearly killed it. Some times, in nu impulse of disgust, it would throw the bottle away, out of ita own reach, and then bc distracted until it waa given back to it. At others, it would sit j with tho countenance of the moat intense dejection, contemplating the bottled sugar, and then, as if puning itself to gether for another effort of eoluliou, would sternly take up the problem afresh, ami gaze iuto it. It would lilt it up one way, and try to drink the sugar out of the neck, nud then, suddenly reversing it, try to catch :L.n9 it fell out nt the bottom. Under tho impression that it could capture it by n surprise, it kept rasping its teeth against the glass in futile bites, and warming to the pursuit of thc revolv ing lump, used to tie itself into regular knots round the bottle. Nothing availed, however, until ono day light was shed upon the problem by ajar of ulives falling from the table with a crash, and the fruit rolling about in all directions. His monkeys-hip contem plated the catastrophe, and reasoned unon it with the intelligence of R Hum boldt. Lifting the bottle high in bia paws, ho brought it down upon the floor with a tremendous noise, smashing the glaaa into fragments, after which he calmly transferred the sugar to bis mouth, and mulched it with much satisfaction.

In a second of time the storm burst with appalling fury, and the win dows, which had by the mildness of the atmosph?re become clear of frost, were heavily coated with clinging snow on the outside and heavy fronted particles on the inside. The air grew terribly cold, and was darkened by Hying frost and snow. Thc high wall- of the hotel directly opposite were not lo he seen. All objects were hidden by the flying and rapidly driven mow. People un the streets' sought shelter, and the stores were temporarily used for protection from tho fierceness of tho howling blast darker grew tho atmo-phero, to such nu extent that business in thc office was stopped until lights were procured.
