The Ciderville Circuit. (811001 TWE 1131'3 21104,) DEEn Joss,—I have jest got home from Ciderville, where I went to take e, load ov knots and baokiogs, which I left at the pasennidge to help torde poyin my quarteridge,fur which the stewards had ben a pressin me fur two or throe weeks batik. T sot on my waggin in the !court house square fur a kupple ov hours a tryin to git shut ov my load to sumbody who wud pay me the munny fur it, but it dident peer to be a good day fur sellin that kind of timber, and so I kugkluded I wed go to the preechers house with 10 and let it go torde helpin to pay fur my preeohin. To be sure it was wood that oudent be split, and the most ov it was ez green as koppera5, but Heather Sun- shine has got a big sheet iron stove in the room where he seta to do his otndyin, and I knode that be oud mannidge it sumhow to burn nearly all ov it, and what wndent go in his stove he oud giv to Jim Teester to wheel home to burn in his fireplace. There wuzzent anybody at home at the passuiidge when I got there, but I knode that the preecher wud be glad to hay all the wood he cud git ez long as hie wood house wud hold it, and so I druv into the alley and onloaded my chunks on top ov sum rather nice hickory stove wood that his boys hadent finished pilin up yit, and which I spoze the nreecherhad ben buyin fur hash, fur it habit likely that anybody wud ever take him seoh wood ez that on quarteridge, bekoz it wud be about the same thing ez goin to the passinidgewith miuny, oulees they got an extra price fur it. It dun me good to see that hickory stove wood there when I drove up along side ov the woodlouse with my waggin, fur it was ez dry as summer preecltin, and will be jest what Brother Sunshine will need to set the ohunkd I bring him on fire with. 00 koree I dident have no kumpmikehune about chargin the preeoh- er full price fur the wood I tuke him, be. koz I knode the knots wud last longer and go further and heat his house up a gond deal better, after he wuost got um to burnin, than wood that was ez strafe as a match and split up most fine snuff fur kindlin, and they will give him seoh a etiddy fire that be kin stick to his thinkin a heap closer when he sets down to his writtin table. On that akouut 1 shall send a ticket to the quarterly kon- ference that will kountjest the same to me as tho I had sold my load ov chunks fur two dollars in cold munny. On my way home I met Brother Kalup Chiller with a turrible nice load ov stove wood which he was a takin up to Kernel Soundin Brass, and fur which he told me he was only a goin to git a dollar and seventy-five cents in groceries. Kahn) had jest got to the top ov Skribzee 1ti11 when I met him, and while his bosses was a 0000111, him and me bad quite a tawk. I soon fouud out that Kalup was a feelin dredful low operreted, and had sumthid on his mind that be was a try• in hard to keep back from me. At last tho I mannidped to find out what it was that was a pressin so hevy on his hart. I reckon yule remember about my tellin you in teen ov my letters knnsernin the desperit nice man who had ben e. writin to Kalup frum sowers down east, about the paper munny he wttd be willin to sell him fur so mutob a pound, pervided be wudenb never say nuthin to nobody about it. Kalup giv me n little insight into what the teller was willin to do the day I met him al the DIM, and I woe took with a terrible strong noshun to write to the man too, but he was afeerd that if I did it wud throw the fat in the fire fur ns hath, koz the man had told him that be mussent breath a word to no livin soul about it, And then Iva get a rather Strong suspishun that Kalup was a little joobus that mebbe I wad gib holt ov the feller fust and bny all the munny he wud be willin to part with, and there wudent be none left fur htm, so he dident hay nuthin more to say to me about it, and f when I went to see him afterwards to git the fellers name and pestofiiss he por- tended that he had lost it. But ez Kat up stood there this mornin, with hie foot on the hub ov my waggin wheel, a lookin en tho he had bon up with a sick hose all nicht, ho told me all about it. Ho sad the fust letter or so he got from the man was most turrible kaw- shue. He bad heard some how or other that .Kalup was a man who ]snore what was what and awl be trusted, and on that alcount be felt that it wed be safe to giv him a few pints that it wild be with his while to loot: into furder. There was kunoiderable metal more writtin to the same effect, showin that the ma0 had meet likely sob up until nearly midnight to write the good news to Kalup. Tho man had also sent with his letter a pleas ov printin which had ben tools out ov n Washintttn nuzepapor, the readin ov b which was snuff to make anybodye eyes fl pop. It went on to say that the plate u from which the guvorement had ben a re Navin all its twenty dollar bills struck, w hod ben got a holt ov by the man who of wrote to Kaiup, and carried off, and the ell hills he was willin to dispose ov had ben pi printed from this very same plate, and 01 nu man alive end tell the ditferenoe be. tween these and the wine the goverment furnished, The night Kaldp got that letter lie sed he never elep a wink, Ne and see It oz glair 0e water a ltummin out ova pomp that if he and only goy a karpotsaok foil of them bide at two dolIars Aimee he oud buy auuff land to make him. and hie Old woman work tbeireolvee party near to death. He sed he wud a throwed the letter into the fare 01 8000 ez he read if there had a ben a word in itltintiu that the manny was'kountej'iit There W110.mitlid suspiebnu ov any each thing OS that. The man garrantoed that every bill wud be jest 00 good act goverment make, Tho president bieself ondenb find a flaw in any ev it with a ntikerekopo. It 2005 the !dee that the bills was all gini. wine, and that a peek ov um 2005 within hie roach that made Kalup lay awake, Ile sed he dident bleeve he ever wanted mornin to 1000) eo bad before in all his life. He let his hired hand do the chores and wrote a latter to the man afore brek• fast, He wanted a few more pertiuklers, and he wanted um dredful quiok. The man had offered to sell him a thousand dollars synth ov the mutiny fur a hundred dollars, and what be wanted to Iwo, was whether he oud he, the privl. lidgeov buyin five times ez rentob to start with, and ez match more as he wanted at the end of the month, fur you see Kalup had ben a sellin his wheat, and had is little uparde ov five hundred dol- lars no the banlc that wuzzent a bringin him in no interest, and he felt as the he wud be a robbiu hie family if he let any grass grow under his foot when he had inch a chance oz that. He was so fidgety, he zed, that he cadent hardly eat ontil an ander to Lis letter koro, for it jes peered to him that be was a luzin eumtbin eery time no heard the ohmic strike: It dident take over three days tho, fur him to git an anger back, fur the feller wrote Whim powerful quick. The letter said that Kalup could have all the means he wanted, purvided lie wad yule gumpehun and nob run no risk. He was to leave home as soon as he cud, without sayin nothiu to nobody except his wife, and go to each and seoh a place. He moat liar hie munny . in big gold peeoes, so that it cod be counted quick, and was to tell hie wife that he was a ga- in to Katnipville, Kaiutunky, to try to buy a hose. When he took the cars he was to send a dispatoh signed Jeemee Jones, and tellin the feller down east to look out. This was to let the man with the means kno that Kalup was a knits.min tords him ez fast as steam cud make the cars run. It was furdermore under- stood that when Kalup got to Pittsburgh, which was the pinoe where the man had told him to go to, he was to walkup and down in the depough with a big red hankycbuff around his neck ontil a man with specks on knm torde him and giv a koff. Kala was then to make out tie tho he was a goin to Sneeze and 00y that it was a nice day, and then there was to be some more palaver whioh I hay furgot, all ov which was carried out jest ez it had ben understood iu the start. Kalup then got into a karriage with the mac and they rode about a mile in a tur- rible windin way to a big white house. Here they got out and went in, and Ka - lap sed it purty ny made his bead swim ez be stood and watched the mac count the munny out and wrap it up in pack- idges ez big as a bar ov sopa. He then giv the feller his gold and the paokidges was put lute his carpet sack, and then he got into the karridge agin and was druv back to the dupe, and after a rather tire - sum trip he got back home, and was ez glad to see the face ov the town clock in Ciderville ez tho he bad ben gone a month. He had ben afeerd to open hie carpet saok and look at his munny on the oars, fur fear sumbody wud see it and rob him, but ez soon as he got back he told bie old. woman what he had ben up to, and after hede took her into a room up stairs and looked the door, he tltrode wun ov the paokidges into her lap and asked her what ebe thought ov that. In less than a minit his wife had opened the packidge, and Kalups eyes most jumped out ov his head when he saw that there wuzzent a cent ov moony in it, but only a lot ov brown paper that had ben out the size ov bills. The other pacicidgee was all open- ed in dredful quick meeter, and evry last u wun ov m turned out to be jest like the f ust. The truth ov the matter was that Ka - lip had traveled over two hundred miles and paid five hundred doilare fur a kup- plO ov cents mouth ov ehavin paper, and I reckon it haint !match wonder that his wife habit dun nothin but jaw him night and day about it ever since. Here tur- rible puzzled to make out how the man- ny was jiggled out ov his oarpetsack and that wubhless paper pit in. I dont kno but what Imo glad now that I dident write to that down east feller myself, tho I dont bleeve he and a pulled the wool over my eyes like he dun with Kalup. I feel so dredful had for Brother 01E1 - ler rho that I dont feel like writin say more today, and so I bleeve Ile quit. Yourn and so forth, G,1 S1LAS 2DESSO011. "HOW Long Was I. hand 1" From Thomasville, e, thriving little town on the !Mobile it, Birmingham Road, 102 mules north of Mobile, COMBS a story that is beard but seldom, and then too much credence cannot bo placed therein, or nine time out of ton there is certain prevarication ora hnaolo of dnatoriug and stretching the fade that knocks the truth out of the tale. But here is a true story:— Last Sunday morning there died, to ail appearance at Thomasville, a well known hysioiun in that plane, Dr. John W. rand. He has Lately removed from Randolph county, and was about On years of age. He Buffered several weeks from various nomplieati0ne, and finally the watchers at his bedside, one of whom was his son, saw him draw, apparently, his last breath and sink into the unaou- 00iousnes0 of death. The body was taken charge of by his friends, washed and dressed in the customary shroud, and laid out in the parlor. An hour or two later the few friends seated in the room with the corpse noticed a slight twitching of the fingers of the de. ceased. They were somewhat startled, ut did not lose 1hei1 self-possession and ee from the room, a0 ie ordinarily done rider ouch circumstances. Instead they paired to the side of the doctor, and Molted him oloeely. Then to movement almost the entire body was noticed, a ght convulsion, in fact. Then two aces Of money 211811,nd been placed over le eyes of the dead man fell ol'f, and he 73 made an effort to open Ilia eyes, Tiffs eatieded those gathered around hila that life was eti11 within the remains, and the body was tenderly aarriod beets to the bed from which be hittl boon removed a !Inert while before, a supposed corpse, Dr, Brand reooiosd every Dare, and Ile. slowly revived. Ills drat 'words when apprised of his condition, were 1— "How long was I dead ?" Ali preparations Per the removal of the body to hie hone in Randolph county had been made by the eon of Dr. Brand, and it was arranged to ship the remains by the Mobile es Birmingham train that passed Thomasville Sunday night. Dr,. Brand's daughter was at the Selma depot to receive the body of her father, but 111. Stead was rejgiood to receive the welcome 118201 from Oonduotor Burns, of the Mo, bile dos Birmingham train, that her parent was still alive. Conductor Broadetreet, of the Mobile & Birmingham road, abated to a reporter that when ho passed Thomasville yestor. day morning Dr. Brand wits still alive and improving.. Mt. GLADSTONE' AND HIS LITTLE GRANODAUGNTER. The writer of some of the popular pol- itical songs that made the welkin ring in the Nownaetle Town Hall, Mr. Lamond, (,t frequent contributor to the columns of the Blairgowrie Advertiser) is the author of the following delightful poem, which has received the highest commendation from the family of the ex.Premier. It is founded on the following paragraph, which appeared in a London oontempor- ary :— An ineiilent, almost dramatic in its force, was witnessed by those who bad asserntled outside Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon. Lord Rosebery, who, by Royal command had an audience of the Queen, having kissed hands upon his appointment as First Lord of the Trensnry, bad driven off amidst the plaudits of the crowd. 1110 brougham passed down the Hall, and was scarcely lost to sight when an open victoria ap• preached from Constitution Hill. In it were seated the statesman whom the new Premier had sunoeeded in office, his daughter, and hie golden -haired grand. child, little Dorothy Drew. The effect was electrical. Cheers were indulged in by a few, but for the most part the spec. tatore adopted a more sympathetic and appropriate method of salutation. Hardly a hat but was lifted as the carriage made its way toward Downing street. Mr. Gladstone was evidently touched by the reooptiott accorded him, and bowed !tie acknowledgement. Apparently the most boisterously happy parsonage present was the little Puritan -dressed lady, who by this time was standing between Mr. Gladstone and Mrs. Drew, laughingly kissing her tiny finger-tips in reeponse to the demonstrations of good.wi❑ offered on all sides." The poem was sunt in MS. to Mrs. Drew, and she wrote asking the favor of another copy, as it had been mislaid in their removal to Brighton. Mr, Lamond was also made the recipient of a photo- graph of the favorite grandchild on Mr. Gladstone's knee, and in a fine toned filial letter on the poem, suggesting the introduction of the child's pet name "Dossie" for "Dorothy," Mrs. Drew says her father was "greatly touched by it, and begged that it night be preserved." TO MISS DOROTHY DREW. Will you listen, just a minute, Laughing, little lady Drew ? We have got a great big secret. We can only bell to you ; We, the world of folk and I, will be So thankful and eo glad, If you will tante a message in Your darling Grand Old Dad. We rend nioe stories now and then About our ohiers granddaughter ; How he and you pirouetted to The music of your laughter. But now we know you better ainee You kissed your finger-tips, And flung to use the pretty words That trembled ou your lips. Our hearts are sore and sad today We scarce can stem the teat's ; Our thoughts are warm with love to him Who fought for three -score years— Who fought for people,home, and Queen, Who loved and lived the Right, Who fought until 'twas time to rest Awhile, e'er Domes the night. We pray you lady golden hair, Leap on your hero's knee, And whisper softjy in his ear What now we tell to thee. Tell him, fair maid, in tender tones, Tell him as best you can, Tell him how strange a world it eeeme, Without our Grand Old Man. We loved him for his grace of heart, His strength of mind and will, We loved him for his doughty deeds, And, oh I we love him still Tell him our prayers for him will rise In heaven each newborn day ; Tell him his glorious name will live As long as time holds away. Now yon know our secret message, Laughiur, little lady Drew ; And you know, arc well as we do, That mush word of it is true. And when n ext you're ou t with granddad, Just you kiss your finger-tips, And we'll know he's got our message Prom his "Dossie'e rosy lips.
