Hear him: On the 22nd of last Jnne, I became twenty one years of tige and think ing myself a full grown man and able U2 paddle .my own canoe, I turned-my horse, baggy and small lot of land into money with a deter mination to launch out on my own hook. I packed my trunk, bid all adieu, and started. I reached Morehead City and thero spent one month, at the Atlantic Hotel, and was tbe gay est of the gay, the leader of the fashion and dandy of the day. This becoming monotonous, I packed up and started west, supposing that I might find light work and big pay. I halted at Charlotte, went to all the banks and the principal stores and found no Bosses wanted. Spartan burg, S. C, was my next place; there I met the same luck, but was con soled by hearing that in Atlanta worK was light and pay good. In this big city, I landed dh the morning of August 6th, took rooms at the Kim ball House rested one day, and then commenced a 'canvass ot the town. Banks first; dry goods second; gvo ceries nest, then anything or any body. But really it seemed that a ytung man of my shape and talent was not in demand for anything. After wandering around for four days T'Jjaid my hotel bill and found that I had remaining only eleven dollars ' and fifteen ; cents. This brought me to thinking and to seri ous reflections ! Who am I? What am I after? What object have I ini view? What do I knowT What can I: do, and who wants me to do it? My only answer to myself was, I . am a graduate of Chapel Hill, and; know much in books, but very little; out of them- With these sad re flections, I bought my ticket to Chat tanooga, saying to mjself; young man, go farther west I reached this busy railroad cen-, tre, walked around two days with much less prospect of employment than I had in either Charlotte or Spartanburg. A depleted purse im pressed me with the importance of doing something and doing it quick;! money all gone and nothing remain j ing but a trunk of clothes and anf umbrella. ! The trunk I left wite the kind-j hearted landlord and started off onj foot in search of anything that might? turn up. I enquired at every small store 104 the suburbs, and tlien took the mainj road, leading, west. Teh miles out was the first realization of. my real situation. ; At a country cross road Btore 3j approached a parcel of men and boys; pitching quoits, I enquired: Gentle-! men, can any of you tell me where can find work." No, replied a turly looking red haired man, who pre sen ted every appearance of an esf caped convict; but one thing I can tell; this is a d n unhealthy neigh I borhood for tramps, and if you roosi any where near here to-morrow morning you will wake up in a coun try where broad cloth clothes and silk umbrellas will be of little use to you. Thank you,' said I, buf really I did not think it any harm to mako the enquiry. No more -of yout chin music, said he; dry up anj make tracks. We obeyed orders and made tracks. Tramr; a word that I had of ten. heard but never dreamed of having it applied to ourselves, and the more I thought of it, the more I realized our critical situation. j At sun down I halted at the gate of a meek and Christian like old lady, and - may the Lord bless and always provide for her. f She, after hearing my piteous talej invited me in,gave us a good supper which I much, relished, a cot tb Meep on and breakfast in the morning. At the table, she often spoke of thb bad treatment she had received from tramps, and said I was the only one she had let come inside of her yard in three months, as the road was alive with them. .... i : My . disposition to work induced her to give mo a trial at one dollar and fifty cents per week, which I readily accepted, this being my first and only offer. I I-laid, off my coat and vest and reported for duty. -Well.' says she, first, I want my wheat dragged in and you and Judy, pointing to a col ored woman, can take the young steers and do it. ' - ; " Now, just think of my situation, far, far from home and friends, pump sole dancing shoes on, and with me, only one suit , of clothes and they, too, dusty and dirty to wear, and to take hold of work,- something that I had never before done. But says I, 'Judy to biz: Where are the steers?' 'In the pen,' bays she-rBO oat we went and soon came tip tvith Buck and Ben a pair of unbroken hail grown steers. We roped one at a time, and after much difficulty, got them together, put on the yoke, tied their tails to gether and started. We ran through the yard, upset the chicken coops, turned over the" bee hives and played the d 1 generally, bat finally reached the lane, wnere we noo.fcea on a .larger brush which had been prepared for dragging j the ; wheat. , A-snort and a start, arid away they went at top speed, precipitating themselves in a big golly, breaking both of their necks t the top of hor joice Judy Bcreamedrt'iflstise, mistias, i this in ifernal tramp has killed both 5 IJack J ftook one farewell look and crossed the, road and was ebon out , pf sight in the dense woods, leaving. iehiBd my coat, vest and iumbreila the only personal property !ead,?on which I could. make' a raise! ' I wondered through?! the woods all day our only food beincr blackberries, and came - back intd the public road just as the su& was &et tingv Went a few miles and slept all night in a straw stack. Early net moi ning I put out in quest of anything that might turn up, but for asau of my general make , op, little yrC very little could be 4expi;$d to. turn up. I had gouo , but a few miles before coming to an orchard of nice apples on the road side. Hunger knowing no law, I was not long in sliding over the fence into tbe orchard and making for the nearest free, but hardly had I started when I heard a female voice crying aloud, 'Hi, Edward, run to the house; a tramp is in the orchard.' I hastily picked a hat full, of a p pies and started, and not ariy too soon, as tbe shot peppered the fence as I leaped over into the; road. The gun was in the hands of the lady of the house. She, not waiting Ed, who, thanks to God, was alow in getting there. Well, I" put to the woods, keeping in mind the direction of the road. Ou towards evening I came back to the road and slowly sauntered along, feeling myself to be aj tramp of the first water. Aftar" dark I took refuge in a barn near the road fearing to approach the house. Hav ing eat nothing during the day but a few apples, and a good bait of blackberries, I felt neither full, com fortable or piously inclined towards any one. Hardly had I laid down I before the dogs commenced balking so furiously that I deemed it prudent to seek shelter elsewhere. But to save my life, in the straw I could not find my hat, and but one shoe. But things looked so squally that prudence said, 'Old bey, get,' and I got. The farious bark ing of the dogs convinced; the ownen c f thebarn that something was wrong. So out they came, harked On the dogs, and after a chase j of a mile I took a tree. Thsy ferociously bayed me until the arrival of three white men, a lot of boys and five or six negroes. here I sat up the tree present ing one6f "the most Iu3icroia scenes ever witnessed. Just think of rne at the Atlantic Hotel at Alorehead and then sitting like a Ecared possum up that tree! 'Down with you,' says tho leader of the party, who proved to : be the same red headed quoit pitcher we had passed two days before at the cross roads. 'Down with you, you infernal horse thief and we will put you where the dogB can't bite you.' "The dogs were driven off and down I came. . At this time a negro rode up on a mule. His bridle was a pair Df plow lines. With these my hands were tied securely behind me, and , amidst jeers, threats and ridicule ; I was marchsd ' back to the house. Ad ditional ropes were put ' on me and two white men with guns and three negroes were left to guard me all night Next morning my ! haudd were loosed to enable me to eat the bread and bacon set out to me. During the night many plans were discussed as to the best disposition to be made of me. One said the only way to stop tramps was a grape vine, and he, for one, should go for it The other white man said tar and feathers, while all the negroes said nine and thirty, and one -wanted to be the man to fling it on. Next morniug quite a crowd gath ered in and better judgment pre vailed and they agreed to tie me in a wagon and take me back to the cross roads and have me tried before Squire Simmons, who had ' sworn to hang the first tramp coming within his jurisdiction. Tbe news 01 my capture ana trial had spread like wild fire, and it ap peared as if the whole surrounding country, men, women and children, white and black,- nad gauierea to get her to witnesB the hanging. After getting out 01 tne wagon a was ordered to be seated, which I did on the ground at the roots- of a large white tree. j ' I was,' of course, tne centre 01 at traction, and many, yes, many . quesr tions were asked me. Among the in terrogators was one they called Major Flint. His fnendsnip was proiuse, and his offers to help me were truly gratifying, as no one else professed either friendship or sympatay. "Alie Major was a low, squatty man, about thirty years of agei ana would be described in North Carolina as a corn shucking, banjo picking, j possum hunting kind of fellow just any body's friend and a genial, good sort of a good for nothing fellow. He sang ont at the top of . his voice: 'All stand back : and let me consult with my client. This was my ; first suspicion of the - legal- acquirements. 'Squire,' said he, 'can't my client , be ' untied? Aini't there men, guns and dogs enough here to ; maintain the dignity of Georgia, even if he should try to escape?' 'Yes, said the Squire; loosen the ropes, 'Bill, and give him a chance to let's see what he will do.' f The topes were removed, and my counsel -walked m to the opposite side of tbe road and I took a seat in the fence corner. ' Question first Take something,' at the same time passing to ns a pint frlass ' flask almost half " full of whisky. c, 'Nothing for Tmo . to day, thank , He 'hartook .very liberally 'which us saiov nacr peen recommended Sot dyspepsia, and then asked: .-''',.' I 'Stranger, how nrucb money ., have" yon?'- ---V; cir if-: .'-Not a penny,' saysX h " 'Well, then, you aregone up,' says he, j., . r.., . ! : j r .; j Sorry for' it; but tl"jbave j Cnone here bat could get it from home if.' I cnly had tim, as T live or did 'live in North Carolma.,.i:-i tu&j U .i . . ir.r. . I wanted to tell him all about. my troubles; but he would hear nothing. Said he already knew "more of my cse than I could tell' him," and if I proposed managing iB there was no ocoitnoa omnlovMisrOunseL .-I 'Give me yonr honor and due biil for $25' and I will mak rnaj&e the far fly says he. ' : i. - 'Nothing else presentin itself L of -course, :readilv 'AcceDtod. I He paeped once more ' into the J bottle and we went 'back to the cotton shed and the trial commenced.

' ' Charge- 4th Rambling - around through the y neighborhood for the past two months - committing all kinds of depredations. 7 ,; yith great dignity Spuire Sim mens put on his spectacles and read the charges and then took his seat The major arose to his feet and says: 'Will your' honor pass me that paper?' -' ' ; !- . - " . It was passed to him, and read over with mueh gravity. ' Then folded and put in his pocket for refe rence. - - f- - ''- 'As I am not very wrelj to-day, and this being a knotty'icaseiwill some of you ask Jim to send me one of those large glasses of hia bes'' and I will pay him to-morrow.11 1 The news soon came back -No money, no whisky' and really I thought ho had all that he could carry. TO THI SPEECH. May it please your honor, gentle men of the jury, fellow citizens, la dies and gentlemen and "my colored friends in particular: We plead guilty and ask for mercy. The looks of my client shows guilty. At home he has a fond mother, and many of you have mothers; and he may have known his father, and many, yes, I fear for" your good, too many are fatheis. Nothing personal, Judge, stealing apples. Have we not waste apples enough i Georgia, if co'a verted into cider to float tho entire United States navy? Aint it so, Judge? I repeat it sir: ain't it so? (The Judge nodding assent). Now, if put into brandy and distributed, would it not make every man in old Georgio happy to come. Ain't that so J udgeT ('It's so,' says his honor.) As there is nothing on the first pint, I will go to the 2d killing, steers. Killing steers! Wky, Georgia is alive with steers- Nothing personal, Judge, but didn't steers como mighty nigh killing you last Christmas, J udge? Didn't they? I ask again, didn't they? (They did,') says he. We afterwards heard that the Judge was going home rather too much under the weather, for driving his cart so he fell back in the body and went to sleep. Going np a ' steep uiil ha rolled back over, tho body turned and snuggly cooped him on the ground until next day.) Killing steers! when there are millions of steers; and Black well & Co. . hare one stuck on every fence and tree in the State af Georgia.
