Do not harshly "judge your neigh bo:

But we never expected to"f<

point in dispute was settled, but c<

The point in dispute in the prest

as follows :
" John Jones, a convict in the I
State's prison has fallen heir to $5

Mr. Spriggins, a regular cheat ;.in t
language of a poem I read in bo

As I concluded this spiteful, litt
speech, Mr. Spriggins straighten,
himself up in the. peculiar way i
had when preparing-himself for
combat, and I knew we would ha'
a fight, our tongues being the wea

pro and con, it will suffice to say th
thc discussion wa3 brought to anet
by Mr. Sprj?gins proposing an expe
imeni. He was, be it understood,
man of means; a business man
good business standing, but somewh
eccentric?; and the proposition 1
made was to gp around among h
friends and tell them that he' w
"dead 1 roke."
" If" said he, " I do this, and thc
freely advance money to start me ;

I can borrow all the money I wai
with nothing but my face lor seci
rity."
Then, as stated at the outset, ?
bet five dollars each on the result
.and I awaited with eagerness the rt
salt of the practical test.
L however, ventured to intimai
that if he carried out the experirnen
he .might weaken people's cbufidenc
in his truthfulness; but this onl
made him think I feared the resuli
and made him more determined tba
ever. So the experiment was tried.
He went to Mr. Smith, one of hi
most intimate friends, and said:
. " Smith, I'm a bankrupt."
Indeed!" ejaculated Mr. Smith
greatly astonished, " and how has i
come about ?"
' I-I-" stammered Mr. Sprig
gins, hesitatingly, for story telling, o
in plain English, lying, was a new sii
with him, "I went security for i
friend, and had to pay every dollai
f it." ^
?Too bad, indeedP wat Smith'?
symp?? inking respoase.
" if I can^onl}' borrow a few thous
ands, however, t get started in busi
ness, 1 think I can g?t aio.. vrj
well."
Mr. Smith thought them would be
no difficulty in guiling the money.
He would be very glad to advance ii
himself, buthe was^almost strapped
jua'; at that time. Mr. Spriggins
knew thar this was not tho case, aud
his opinion of Mr. Smith's undying
friendship underwent a rapid and
radical change.
He saw all of his many f:ionds,and
renewed his request to each in
turn, but they all happened to be
' short " just afc that time. After a few
days of unsuccessful attempts to bor
row money, he humbly confessed he
had lost his b*et fairly, and that his
face" was not good security among his
friends.
" I told you so," said I.
But au unlooked for trouble 'came
upon him. He was engaged toa very
accompL.-ii' d lady,. . His trust in her
was unbounded/ He* had often told
me that, if ever there was a good,
ti ue'woman on earth, it was hi? in
tended..
But her father, hearing of the bank
ruptcy of the son-in-law that was to
be, accosted him, saying :
"I understand, Mr. Spriggins, that
you have met with a reverse of for
tune."
" Yes, sir," replied Spriggins, lan
guidly.
" Of course, under your altered cir
cumstances, you cannot expect to
marry my daughter."
Here was a new turn in affairs for
which Mr. 8. was not prepared. He
thought at first of correcting the
falsehood which he himself had start
ed'; but the idea suddenly flashed
upon'his mind that there was a good
opportunity for testing the sterling
qualities ol his sweetheart. This
would b?a triumph which wouldmore
.than compensate for bia defeats in
other directions. So he. replied :
'.Of course, sir, I have a better
opinion of your daughter than that
she promised to be my. wife for thc
purposjfcf sharing my money. Mar
riage for money-" and Mr. Sprig
gins was becoming very indignant ;
*. marriage fer money, air,*is prostitu

" I have strong- hands, and 11
say a brave heart, and though de

" It is useless to prolong this <
troversy, Mr. Spriggins,' said the
man. " As a man of honor, you .
certainly offer t" release my daugl
from her engagement. Ot' coursi
she does not accept your offer of fi

cumstances, I shall have nothing tc

" In a hurry, is he ?" muttered '.

Miss bulcina sobbed convulsive

" You are very kind, Mr. Spri

that our engagement must be brok
off, for I did like you very well."
And so the hopes that Spriggi
had entertained were dashed to ti
j ground. His Dalcina liked him ve:
well, but liked his money better ; ai
I so when she imagined it was gon

Without another word, he strew

by no means a better man.
"So! so!" he muttered. "Tl

" You are right," said he to me.
" This world is a-humbng." There

Mr. Spriggins seemed to have boc

Sfil?.
In our neighboring city of Helena
resido a "gcaimah ot' volar " named
Moore, who rejoices in - the double
distinction of being a magistrate and
of having a weakness concerning th.
quadruped known a:; :i)Oasuei. Ju-t
across flt? river, in Tunica county,
resides another "culled geminan"
who. whih not a muy Ut rate, is hone
the leis soft on tho 'possum question
His name is Clem. Clem* bas a train
ed, fat 'possum, which follows him
around like a dog, .Hiving ?onie
business in Helena recently, he cross
ed over there, accomp tnied, as usual,
by his pet companion. Meeting
'Squire Moore on o e of the boule
vards of that .metropolis, he exchang
ed with him the greetings of the day,
when the following conversation en
sued :
'Squire Mooro .-Look yore, Clem,
w'at you take fur dat yere 'possum ?
Clem-Well, Squah, I don't care to
sell him, but if you want Jiim I'll let
you have him fur five dollars..
'Squire M.-Git out, ufgga; I'll gib
yer wun dollar.
Clem-Can't sell him fur dat, no
how.
Saying which, Ci?ra went his .way
down the boulevard, the 'possum,
whose sleekness attracted the ey? of
the magistrate, trotting along gently
in the rear.
The Squire looked non-plussed for
a moment, but seeing a policeman or
.constable in the distance, his face sud
denly brightened, and he struck an
attitude of happy reflection.
Calling to him the minion of the
law, he said :
" Arrest dad nigger wid de 'pos
sum, and brung bofe into my court at
oncet I"
The minion aforesaid did as order-,
ed, and soon Clem and his'possum
trembled in the presence of the migh
ty Moore.
""Clem," said the magistrate, "you
is accused of being drunk and disor
derly. Wat's yuse got to say fur
yuself ?"
Clem stammered his innocence, and
pro?e3ted against the charge.
" No yuse talking, Clem," said the
magistrate, dis yere court neber
makes a mistake, and isn't gwine to
be fooled in dese premises."

Snts : I have used Oner's Ammoniatcd
Sliper Phosphate two years in succession
andsaV. witnoutany hesitation whatever,
that it is the best fertiliser that I have
over used. I have tried several other
kinds' of Guanos, that cost more por ton,
:ind they did not pay mo as largo a per
L'cnt. oil thc Investment as tho Ammoni
fied Super. Phosphate, i shall sustain
what I say by using it again on nest
year's crop. ' Respectfully, tte,.
