BY orns I’. HEAD. ’ 5 The water was rising rapidly in the Lower Mississippi. Heavy rains bad been falling above, and the strain on the., levees had become so great that hundreds of planters were fleeing to-the highlands. Enormous trees, swept ' down the surging flood, and an occasional cabin with some one on the roof could bo seen bobbing its way toward the gulf. . Late in the afternoon a man riding a horse drew up in front of a cabin near the river, and seeing an old fellow sitting on a soap-box lazily greasing a nair of shoes thus addressed him : _■ *J‘Why, what can you be thinking about, sitting here so unconcerned, when the water is rising so fast? The levee has broken up at Cages Bend, and it won’t be long until the swamp back yonder will be entirely filled up. What are you thinking about?” “Wall,” he responded, as he dabbed a handful of tallow on the shoe, ‘’l was thainkin’ about several things. Was thainkin’ that I would go to meetin’ termor re r to hear that new feller thaijhey low kin fling down any man on the circuit, an’ then I thought that I would go over and whale old Bodney Bales. “Bod an’ me has been mighty good frien’s, but tuther day I tuck up the idee that Ijte shot my dog an’ he’s ’ got to be whopped. I’m a little sorter '“curia tbater way. When I take up a notion that a man has shot my dog it don’t make no' difference whuther he has done it <r not; I jest kaint ke’p from whalin’ him. My daddy was thater way, an’ I jest took after him. Whicher.wav air yon travelin’?” “I am going to get out of this infernal bottom. I came down here day before yesterday and if I get out you may rest assured that I’ll never come back again.” “Much obleeged to you, fur I alius wan ter rest. Makes no diffunce whuther I rest ashored or not. What Im’ after is the rest.” “How far is the nearest high ground from here?” “Oh, you kin find high ground all along the river here. Land right down thar is putty high. Couldn’t buy it, I don’t reckon fur less that fifty dollars 'an acre. Mighty line land. Cotton • (talks grow as high as a hbss.” “I rnean a hill; for Heaven knows I don’t care what the land is worth.” “Wall, lemme see.” He put down the shoes anti wiped his hands on the bosom of hi-, shirt. “That’s a hill’way out yauder summers, but I domt know how you kin git thar from here, but if you was way over at the Abner place, w’y you’d be right thar.” “How can I get to the Abner place?” “ Wall, I haih’t been over thar in some ’ time, an’ I did hear that old Abner had moved awav.” “What difference does that make? The place is still there.” “I don’t know about that. Places don’t alius stay thar jin this conntPP.” ‘ I’ll find my way out all right, for I have a good horse; but what worries me is to see you remain here so unconcerned. lam a member of the American Humane Society, and it is my duty to urge you to save yourself.” “Don’t fret about me, podner. The Bible tells not to worry an’ that’s one part of the good book that I fuller out.” “I am really interested in a man so peculiar. How long have vou lived here?” “Mighty nightfall my life.” “Why don’t you move away?” / “Feered I mout not have good health.” “You surely have chills, for you are as yellow as a pumpkin now.” “Oh, yes! have lots of chills. Have one mighty nigh every day. Wife an’ Tib, an’ Bob air in thar now a-shakin’ with chills.” “You surely could not live in a place more unhealthful.” “Yes, think I could. None of us ain’t dead, but lots of folks that lived upon the high ground is. Some folks mout hot like chills, but then some folks don’t like pie. I tell you that on a right hot day when the “heat dances down the road like somebody shakin’ a mosquito bar, a chill is a mighty fine thing. You see a man gits tired of one sort of weather, sich as they have in the hills, but down here he kin have two or three seasons in one day. In, the mornin’ he’s jest a leetle warm; ’bout dinner c chill comes on and then he is cool; an’ when the fever sets in, w’y he’s jest about as hot as a white man wants to be.” * “You beat anybody I ever - saw.” “No, I don’t beat nobody. Did beat a ferryman onct by wadin’ the river, but that Was a long time ago, an’ I have jined the church since then.” “Have you ever been run out by the high water?” “Many a time.” “Then why don’t you go now, for you must know your danger?” “Wall, I am a man of fixed habits an’ no matter how fast the water is rising I never make a break for the hills till the water comes up an’ wets my pants. a Then I know it is time to move, an’ I holler for the folks an’ we strike out. W’y it is so much of a habit with me not to take action in the matter till my pants air wet that one day last August, when we hadn’t had a drap of rain fgr six weeks, a feller that wanted, me out of the neighborhood come along through the truck patch wbar I was grabblin’ some potatoes, and jest as I stooped over he spanked me with a wet board and I called the folks an’ struck right out.” - “Look here, now, that’s too much to believe.” - “All right, but I reckoa « man ought to know what his habits air. If you

■g... $ g— — have confidence enough in me to tell me of your habits, w’y I wouldn’t dispute you, for I wouldn’t know, an’ a man ought to be mighty keerful about disputin’ something he don’t know anything about.” “Well, I’ll have to leave you. but I almost feel like I am committing a crime in doing so.” 4 “Oh, don’t take on about me, cap’n. I’ll set round here a greasin’ of my shoes an’ ploughgear, an’ the folks will be in the house a enjoyin’. themselves with thar chills an’ atter while the water will come up an’ wet my britches, an’ then we’ll all strike out for the hills. As the water is risin* putty peart, mebbe I’ll overtake you, for I don’t reckon you kin ride through the woods so mighty fast.” “Good-by, for I see I cannot save you.” “You could do it. but I don’t want to pnt you to any trouble.” “It would be no trouble whatever to me. Follow my advice is all that I can ask of you and advising is all I can do for you.” “But yon forgit my habits.” * “Nonsense; what are you talking about ?” “You know I told you what the feller done while I was grabblin’ potatoes. Jest get a wet board and spank me an* I will hull out.” “I would be willing to take an oath that you are the biggest fool I ever saw.” “Not a fool, but jest a man of habits. It’s little enough to ask of you, I’m shore.” “All right,” said the stranger, as he dismounted, “where is your board?” a “Yonder is one, good an’ wet.” The stranger took up the boards and spanked the man of habits—spanked him so hard that it made him grin. “All right,” said the convert, as he rubbed himself, “we’ll mosey. Mur! oh, mur!” he called, turning toward the house, “come on now all han’s, for it is time to hustle for the hills.” A moment later the family, evidently waiting to hear the tidings of deliverance, came pouring out of the house.— Atlanta Constitution. Doctors’ Names. Something might be said in favor of the primitive practice of naming men after they were’ grown up, instead of while they were babies. Under the present system it often happens that a man’s name incuriously out of keeping with his character or pursuits. The literacy editor of the Doctor has lately been examining a new dirfeqtory of physicians, and seems to have been greatly impressed by the singularity and, inappropiiateness of some of the names contained in it. He thinks, for example, that Dr. Coffin might sound pleasantly suggestive to a nervous less so, than another name which follows it —Dr. Death. A timid person might object to Dr. Sexton also, and if one wore very sick ’ indeed it vgould certainly seem ominous if Dr. Death, Dr. Coffin, and Dr. Sexton Were to hold a consultation at his bedside. Other names almost as bad as the foregoing are Dr. Butcher, and Dr. Slaughter, though they occur several times each in the directory. There are two Dr. Cranks—fewer than might have been expected—and one Dr. Craze, who is perhaps in charge of an insane asylum. Some of the names may be called inappropriately appropriate, such as Aiken, Carver, Cutter, Hash, Diet, Hurt, Mangle, and Toothaker. Dr. Ague, and Dr. Shivers might well be partners, and if a third/man were wanted they could hardly" do better than to call in Dr. Sweat. Other names are anatomical or physiological. Dr. Bones, Dr. Nuckolls, Dr, Shinn, and Dr. B >well, for example, not to mention Lungs, Livers, and Lights. , Dr. Salts is not a name to quarrel with, and the same may be said of Dr. Seltzer, and Dr. Seidlitz. Dr. Tarwater, Dr. Roots, and Dr. Bitters have an innocent sound, but what shall be said of Dr. Boozer, Dr. Dullard, Dr. Kilpatrick, Dr. Dnffer.Dr. Hornblower, Dr. Lepper, and Dr, Swindell ? This list contains one Dr. Honesty, but it is doubtful whether he deserves that honorable title better then do several of his professional brethren who frankly call themselves Dr. Nostrum. Dr. Able, Dr. Good, and Dr. Noble are perhaps not Pharisees, amFDr. Newbill, Dr. McAffee, and Dr. Dollar may not be more mercenary than Dr. Smith, or Dr. Brown.— Ex. Curing Roosters from Crowing, / Next to a dog that amuses himself by barking all night, a rooster that persists in exercising his voice is nature’s own nuisance, especially when .the rooster lives in town. A banker who Used to live next door to a Dr. White, just beyond the city line, owned? two little bantam roosters that he had taught to crow for a grain of corn. He would take a double handful of corn out into his back porch;" lift his hand and the chickens would crow. Then he gave a grain to each of themA This was continued until all the corn was exhausted and the roosters were hoarse. This sort of thing annoyed Dr. White. One day a medical student dropped into his office about the time the serenade began. “I’d give $5 to shut off that noise,” said the doctor. s “You can do it for less than that,” said the student. Why dont you entice them into your back yard some time when old Rufe is down town, catch them and cut their vocal chords?” “By Jove! ? That’s the thing. Come around to-morrow at 11 o’clock and assist me in the operation.” The next day at the appointed hour the student was at the office on mne; so were the roosters. Within two minutes one vocal chord of each chicken was cut, and then the birds were tossed over the fence to their home. At noon the owner came out on his porch for his daily amusement. White and tjie student watched him through a crack in the fence. He lifted his hand and the little squallers reared back and went through tho motions, but did not utter a sound. , The banker lifted his hand “ again with the same result. He went out into the yard and walked around his pets, but he couldn’t see anything wrong. " > . . Then he called his wife, and the two made a critical examination. He made them go through their pantomime for an hour and got disgusted. He tried it every day for a week and then killed the roosters and ate them. When he found out six months afterwards what White had done, he bought two large donkey-voiced parrots, trained them to say: “ Dr. White,” and "White is an aAs,” and hung their cages'in the pack porch. Then Dr. White moved. j. . ■ ■

WORDS OF WISDOM. [Foom the Ram’s Horn.] The furnace is a friend to the gold. A man of little faith has a little God. Danger and Security are close neighbors. A little world always makes a little man. A wrong man is a lost man. A right man is a saved man. The way to make a man right is to make his heart right. God never uses a man who is not willing to do little things. If there is good in us it will be sure 46 inspire good in others. If some people never had any teeth they would live longer. You can’t find the Lord with a bottle in your coat tail pocket The man who is looking for faults in others will be kept busy. One of life’s riclfest possessions is the memory of a good mother. The grain of sand can fulfill the purpose of God as well as the mountain. Church entertainments and a revival spirit do not dwell unde? the same roof. No man can ever find out how much .there is in him until he gives himself to God. Obedience to God under all circumstances will alwavs’ insure the help of God. The man who desires to be only a sounding brass will never be anything else. The man who is not willing to obey God has no right to expect help from Him. The highest crime we can commit against *od is to oppose our own soul’s good. ° The devil has no fault to find with people who* are satisfied with themselves. There is nothing so beautiful to man angel, as an unblemished Christian character. No man can ever became rich, in the, true sense of the word, without God’r permission, j • , « The only Bible any man has is that he lives. Some folks get along with b very small pamphlet. “You’re a good fellow,” is one of the ways Satan has of saying, “I’ve got a mortgage on you.” There are just two kinds of people in the world. Those who are right and those who are wrong. The world is full of people who strain at a gnat and swallow a whole menag* erie, side shows and all. To sin against our own soul is to sin against Heaven, -because in doing so we not only rob Heaven of what we might be to it, but of what it might be to us. The only way to be happy is to be doing something to make everybody else happy. You get rich by giving away. It is impossible for any heart to enjoy real and permanent happiness that is not filled with love to God and good will toward all men. To hate is the most terrible misfortune that can befall a soul. Killing a Nigger. There were half a dozen of us at the railroad station at Erin, Tenn., when an old man rode up on a mule at a slashing gallop, and cried: “Some of you all lend me a gun or a pistol right quick!” Naturally enough, we inquired what was the trouble, and he bobbed around on his saddle and replied : “I want to kill a nigger who has insulted me!” , ’ None of us had a firearm, and after a few minutes the man cooled down considerably. Then I asked him how the nigger had insulted him, and he replied : “I was cornin’ along to town and I met a nigger whom I knowed. Says I: “ ‘Nigger Joe, kin ye lend me a dollar ?’ “ ‘Can’t lend yo’ no dollar, Marse George,’ he replied. “ ‘Why?’ says I. “ ‘Kase yon dun owe me $2 fur a hull y’ar, Marse George.’ “Think of it, stranger—think of a nigger dunning a white man right in broad daylight! Think of his refusin g me a dollar when he knows I’m good fur ten thousand! Why, sir, I orter kill him. I really had. I orter ride right back and choke him to death.” “It must make your blood boil.” “Blood! Hile! Why, sir,s I’m on dire! I’ve got to kill him—got to do it! And, by the way, if you could lend me half a dollar to buy powder and buck shot I know where I kin borrow a gun. You must realize how necessary it is to kill that nigger.” I let him have the money, and he rode off about three hundred feet, hitched his mule, and slid into a saloon, and a little later we could hear him pounding on a table and shouting: “S’more o’ that licker, Sam! It’s my bounden dooty to kill that nigger, and goin’ to do it!”— New York Sun. Imprison Themselves. Deer, when caught in a blinding snow storm, huddle together and tramp round in a circle, beating down the soft pnow, so that when a heavy fall occurs during, say twelve hours, they find themselves in a snow pen, with wallrf above them; and if they commence to tramp on top of several feet of snow during a storm, they often find themselves in a corral of snow, with a wall surrounding them to a height of 10 or 12 feet when the storm clears off, being virtually imprisoned in a snowy prison pen from which escape is impossible until the spring thaw of the season. An old mountaineer was taking a stroll near his cabin last winter, after one of the heavy snows, when he came .across one of these deer pens in the snow and there imprisoned were seventeen deer of various sizes. They were tin a circular pen of snow, with walls 15 feet high. Upon his appearance the deer became quite excited, and huddled together and dodged from one side of the pen to the other. However, as hunger came upon them they became more docile and the frequent visits of the mountaineer with boughs and buds from adjoining trees, which he threw iinto the pen as food, caused tiredeer to become regular pets and to watch for fthe visits of their protector. After a while the man placed a ladder in the pit and spent a great deal of time in * handling his pets. Occasionally he would take one out for food, as meat became scarce, and in this way used several of the deer, but he has most of the deer yet in a state of domestication. It is said he has a deer ranch in his mountain home, much after the fashion of a cattle ranch on a small scale. Maud, dearest, do you think I could make you happy?. “I should think so; Mrs. Jenkins’ husband happyfied her.” “How?” “He insured his life for SIO,OOO, and then died.-'
