Jim Franklin and tho "Falling Stars." n
The Metoorio shower th:it loll on the t'
night of the 18th of November, 18SJ3, ex- tl
tiibited a seem; long to he remembered by ii
all who witnessed it. To the enlightened if
and well informed it was grand, uwful, sub- j ?
liine; but to tho ignorant and superstitious,

Such a countless number of meteors nov- a
cr foil from empyrean in so .short a space c
of time before or aineo, tho theories of Hum- a
bolt aud Captain Twining to the contrary li
notwithstanding. t
A few weeks after this grand display, of t
fire works Jim Franklin, or u 1'ncle Jim," v
as he was most generally called, was seen t
liobling about on crutches, his lower ox- I
t.remitics covered with a superabundance of 1
red flannel. Jims's early edueationrd ad- t
vantages had been limited. His learning v
tVnm imil Kclinfilw tv:is r.rm t.rnatoil tr> fi
the acquisitions of a few months, by a mind J
not at all inclined to study. But lie had o
prospered in tho world, and by raiding cot- >"
(on in the thitwoods of Elbert, where ho i
lived, had accumulated a snug fortune.? c
Ho was a general favorite in his neighborhood,
and but for it slight habit of indulging
sometimes too much in the "ardent," '
might be teVined an unlearned, hurowd, j 1
exemplary man. j t
Jim was sitting with a number of gen- ' o
tlcmcn in the Petersburg Inn, his feet nice- ?"
ly adjusted in another chair, with his crutch- c
?s across his lap, when some one inquired ?
why he was working himself in shafts??
"Whereupon he explained: " Vou see we li
had at our house, the other night, a small 1)
snvinlrln of what wn linnostlv tnrk to hn tlu> r
" day of judgment"? It turned out wo o
wore slightly mistaken ; but t nssurc you
if [ am any judge of Biunll matters, it wan
a right good counterfeit of that day, when i
they say there is to be a general smash-up. ' 11
Many a one of us, for awhile, thought it j 11
was the genewino coin, and as the masons v
would say, " conducted ourselves accord- fi
ingly." I took the wrong shutc at the ''
start. Now they say, " Man purposes and c
(Jod exposes"; this may or may not ho
good Scripture ; at the latter cud of my ex- s
jicrionco 1 woul! call it good sense. 11
"I was suddenly awakened outcn a sound
sleep. not by Gabril's horn, but a voice 1
mighty nigh as loud, if not henrn so fur? 1
wife, children and niggers were screaming v
and hollerin', " the day of judgment was 0
co;no. the stars wur a fallen." the world a
was burning up?" L sprung up, and look- 0
cd at tho heavens?ncvor seed sich procc- '
dencies thar before ! Thar being no uioun- ^
tains or rocks convenient to call on to hide c
iuo, 1 took a bee-line with average inline 1
ppeed for the well which 1 would say is ninety-two
feet deep in tho clear. It's the
deepest hole in the ground I knowed any
thing about. Wheu 1 got thar I found
JJob and bun, two ot my nigger boys, on a I .
<[iiiin.li.ry yhieh two of fcho elements to j ij
clnisj Hob, ft bright malntter was for water;
yarn, an oninixed African, was for
turning Salls-mamly, end facin' tlio mu- \
sic. Hays i, iioys clenr the track rtnti take
hold of timt windlass, and let me dowu into
the bowels of the yerth ns soon as the nn- ^
tur of the ease will admit of; the outside is v
gcttiugunwholesome, sure ?" Then, with- c
"..a. i. .1 l i L.. ..i t L
uut mil, uuavj vuui, |)<triu? ur Biiui'n, a got 111 j
tlio buclcct and started ; they had not turn- f
od the windlass fcwieo when I holered to ?
'em to slip the britching and let 111c slide. tJ
No sooner said than done, when I whirled,
cur-slush, nigh onto three foot into the wa- v
ter. No man could have made the trip ^
sooner, ccptin lie had fallen in, and he a
would have to tuck a far start at that! I,
" About the time the water had settled 0
round me, T felt fire-proof, and calculated n
they would havo to burn low to get me ! t
Now they say a man in a deep well in the t,
day time, can sec stars, I allow them is fix- H

that night w:us travelers, certain ! Besides n
if there was ony fixed stars that night I ?
never seed 'em. Some said they watched fi
tho miming star, as long as that stuck they j
had hope. j
'-' .t mado tho boys draw mo several times 'j
to see how things war comming on: hut j
when one of them big blazing meturs would
M dart toward mo, I would whirl down to the
length of my eablo. I soon foun' I had 1
gone beyant. what was com ft "table; 1 get '

and felt lur taking tho fire, no matter in j

iino he was no judge o' 'liginous exercises.
Io said he and his crowd prayed nigh on>
four hours; they hcarn tho clock strike
lireo timed whilo thoy wore on their knees.
tc 8Qiu, tlie tact wan, they exhausted the
rgiunent, and got up, and hadn't another
ord to say if the day of judgiupnt had cum.
uid I'm thinking I'd cum out better if i'u
ulied on faith and prayer instead of sieh
orks as 1 did !"
lu thin opinion the company concurred,
ml laughed long and loud at iiia narrative.
Vheu the noise of tho mirth had ceascd,
niic one remarked to Jim if he had been
3 smart and philosophical as ono of his
ucestors, lienjamin Franklin, ho would
ot have been at all alarmed, and could
avo explained it. I have liearn of him
eforc; lie war the fellow who could go out,

nd Soiomon, and tho other apostloa tho
'cripturcs speak of, war smart in their day
nt they would be nowhar with our people
nd tliar fixens! 1 was at Augusta t'otlir
day, seed a railroad inginc and train cum
dashing in. Supposo old man Solomon
iad seen tho like of that come snorting,
oaring, thundering by bun, what do you
hitik would bo his performances ? The
ray he'd run into bis limple, and slam to
lie door, lay low, and say nothing, would
o a caution to his big family. Now Frankin,
be mout givo it thunder, ns he dealt in
he article; but Solomon, not having the
. hanvith, would make himself scnce. The
ild gentleman never thought of sich things,
'vow John, on Patterson's Island, dreamed
if sich, or something like unto them. It
Solomon's dreams had tuck that direction,
t would have turned his proverbs into rcvlation,
and might have confuted the
Scriptures. Souic gentleman here asked
fim where Patters* '?'s lslnnd wns ? " It's
iouo of inv lookout. 1 kalculate it's a fine
>laco for dreaming: wether good for coton,
1 don't know ; but I would advise its
iwners, to keep it hid out, lost the Anglo'axon
specie luout take a liking to it, and
laiiu it, in working up to their clear and

Here a voice from without informed Jim

is shafts, he worked himself out of the

As wo sat within the plain walls of the

ipon which "the dove sat visibly brooding,"

The Thunder Storm- A
FROM THE HERMAN.
Frank ; ft boy from tho city, hnd boon pick- ^
ing ra.sphorrio.s i.i the woods. As he was on 0
liia way home, a i-iolcnt storm arose : it began
to rain, to light, n ami to thundci !V>nrfully. 0
Frank was very much frightened, and crept
into a hole, in an old oak tree, not far froui ()
tho roadside, lie did not know thai lightning
is very apt to strike ft hollow tree. Jhit
all at o.ico he heard a voice that called. *
"frank! Fran!; ! onmo. oh! come out ouieklv!"
Frank jumped instantly from tho tree, i>ut } C)
scarcely had his feet touchcd tlio ground whon
tho lightning struck tho treo, and tho thun- ()
dor crushed frightfully. Tho ground quaked
beneath the terrified boy, and it seemed as q
if ho was standing in tho midst of fire. Hut
ho Mas not hurt at all, ami ho exclaimed
with raised hands, " that roico came from ''
heaven! Thou, oh, dear I<urd, hast saved

looked around him, and discovored a peasant i y
woman who was calling. Frank ran towards j
Iter, and said, ' llore I am, what do yon ..
want of mo?" The woman replied. "I did ^
not mean von, but my own littlo Frank: ho
was watching the goose, yonder by tho brook N
and i Hist havo hidden himself somewhere
from tlie storm." 1 came to take him lioncio. y
See! there he comes at last, out fv-.jn tl o
bushes. Frank, tho bov from tho city, related
how ho hud taken Iter voice for a voice
from hoaven. Then the peasant folded her
hands devoutly and said?" Oh ! my child, j
do not thank God any the loss that tho voice
came from the mouth of a poor peasant wo- 1;
nmn. It was lie who willed that I bhould
call your name, Although I know nothing
about you." t
" Yes, yes!" said Frank. "God served Ilim ' '
self of your voice, but my escape, nevertheless.
came from heaven."

An American Eat Dog- ^

to spend a little time and a good deal of
liinnov iii lhoUinr* nt thewninen mid wnn
dors of tho oltl world. Among tho won- -\|
dors which ho took along, "just for the fun
of the thing," was a small sized snappingturtle.
Having a week's leisure at Lon- i
don, Boh packed up his traps and went tiSCi;
to Iruhnul. The first night he passed '' .on
tho so" was at a little roadside inn, liftout
fifteen miles from Dublin. Having ptftaken
of a supper of bacon and eggs, nob
walked into tho bar, and placcd the turtle
on the floor. The first persons to notice
the " critter," was Mr. Flinri, who kept ^
i no itouse.
" And wlint do you call that?" >]
"That is an American rat ilog."
" A what ?"
" An American rat dog." j
" Musha, go long?and dc you call such
a spalpeen a dog ?" j
' J do, indeed, and he is worthy of his
name."
"Will he fight?" ,j
"Yo-', fiir; not only fi^ht,but will whip any

nurchaHcd of Sheridan was brought in. Tho
brindlo pup took a look at his American relalion,
and then made a plunge. Sho caught ^
the brindlo pup by the nose.
The brindlo pup gave one yell and put for
the door. When last Hcen lie was rushing ()
towards Dublin as if he liad eight tin oullon
