AMONG MOUNTAIN WHITES.

Happy Widow—One Wko’ll Be Date on Judgment Day. , -A home missionary under the auspices of the American Missionary Society, tells the following tale of an old woman encountered during her ’work among the mountain whites of Saluda, N. C. She found the old lady enjoying a comfortable pipe in front of her little fireplace. She greeted the visitors cordially, and upon their departure pressed them to call again. "You’ll always find me right here, 1 ’ said she, “unless I go off for a visit. Now my husband’s dead I’m going to enjoy myself.” The same domestic atmosphere seemed to pervade the reply of another, whom the missionary asked if she didn’t know there was a day of judgment coining. “Why, no,” said the old lady. “I hadn’t heard o’ that. Won’t there be more than one day?" U “No, my friend; only one day,” was replied. "Well, then,” she mused, "I don’t reckon I can get to go, for we’ve only got one mole, and John always has to go everywhere first".
