DON'T RUN IN DEBT.
Dn't ruo in debt: nerer mind, never mind,
If the clothes are faded and torn:
Fix 'em up. make them do; 'tis better by
far.
Than to hare the heart weary and won.
Who'll love you the more for the set of
your hat ?
Or your ruff, or the tie of your shoe 7
The shape of joor vest, of your boots or
cravat.
If they know you're in de bt for the new
There's no comfort, I tell you, in walking
the street
In fine ilotfcw. if you know you're in debt.
And feel that perthunce you some trades
man may meet.
Who will hiieer-'they're not paid for yet.'
Good friends. let me beg of you, don't run
in debt.
If the ebmin and the sofas are old
They will fit your back better than any
new set.
Unless they're paid for with gold;
If the, house is too small, draw the closer
together.
Keep it warn with a hearty good will;
A big one unpaid for, in all kinds of weather.
Will send to your warm hearts a chill.
Don't run in debt, now, dear girls, take a
hint,
(If the fashions have changed since last
Kama, )
Old Nature is out in the very same tint.
And old nature, we think, has gome reaana
'Jut ju-t .-ay t your friend, that you can
not afford
To Upend time to keep up with the fashion
That your purse is too light and your honor
too bright,
To be tarnished with such silly passion.
i ts f! 't run in debt, let your friends,
if i i ciii.
Have honsea, feathers nd flowers,
Uut, unl s they're paid for, be more of a
BMUt,
Titan to envy their sun-biny hours.
If yon'v.- money to spare, I have nothing
to say;
Spend your dollars and dimes ns you
please.
But, Blind yon, the man who his note has
to pay.
Is the man who is never at ease.
Kind husbands, don't run in debt any more;
Twill fill your wife's cup full of sorrow.
To know lhat a neighbor may call at your
door.
With a iiill you must settle to-morrow;
Oh ! take my itdviet it is good, it is true!
(But. lest you may some of you doubt it)
I'll whisper a secret, now seeing 'tis you
rre tried it, and know all about it.
The chain of a debtor is heavy and cold.
Its links all corrosion and rust.
Gild it o'er as you will, it is never gold,
Then spurn it aside with disgust.
The man wbo'a in debt is too often a slave.
Though his heart may he honest and true;
fan ho hold up his head, and look saucy
uud brave,
When a note he can't pny becomes due?
COL. WILHITE'S FIRING THE
WOODS.
BY BEX COOKE.
Scene. A Court of Justice in Franklin
county, N. C, in the year 1640.
The defendant, Col. Wilhite, was chaig
ed with having intentionally fired the woods
at an unusually dry season of the year.
thereby endangering the property of his
neighbors.
Lawyer A., county Attorney ; Jesse Cop
page principal witness against defendant.
After several witnesses had been examin
ed and deposed. Mr Coppage was called on
the stand.
Attorney -"Mr Coppage, do you know
anything about Col. Wilhite's firing the
woods some time ago."'
Witness "Wall, yes, I undertake to
know something about it."
Attorney "Well, sir. then go on and tell
the Jury all that yon know about it."
Witness "Wall, yes, and I'll undertake
to do that. Bennet Boone was over to my
house, and he axed me to go with him down
to tbe Ituaxard branch t get a load of light
wood ; and bein' ns Bennet was a good fel
low" Attorney "We care nothing about Ben
net Boone and the load of lightwood sim
ply tell what you know about the defend
ant's firing the woods."
Witness "Wall, yes, and I'll under
take to do that. Bennet Boone was over to
my house, and he axed me to go with him
down to the Buzzard brunch "
Attorney "Stop ! Stop ! Nobody cares
anything about Bennet Boone and tin- Buz
v rd blanch. Tell what you know about
the woods being fired, and nothing more.
00 n sir."
Witness "Yes sir. And as I was teHin'
ve, b iinet he being a good fellow, I told
1 a- how I'd go with him. So we start
n down towards the Buzzard branch
g tl.er "
Attorney "There's that Buzzard branch
again ! Can't you tell what you know about
Co. Wilhite's firing the woods, without all
this rigamarole about the Buzzard branch
aud the load of light wood ?"
Witness "Uv course kin, but you
don't let me git to the fire part."
Attorney "Well, sir, go on and tell just
what you know about the woods being fired
and nothing else."
Witness "Wall, yes, and I'll under
take to do that. Bennet Boose was over to
my bouse "
Attorney "Stop, sir. if you please !"
roared the attorney. "I appeal to your
Worships. This witness seems to be trifling
with this court."
Court "The Court is of the opinion that
the best way to find out what the witness
knows, is to allow him to go through with
his whole story. Proceed Mr Coppage,
and tell all that you kuow about the defend
ants firing the woods ; and be as brief as
possible."
Witness (Assuming a dignified air.)
"Wall, yes, and I'll undertake to do that.
Bennet Boone was over to my house, and he
axed me to go with b im down to the Buz
zard branch to get a load of lightwood, and
beiu' as how Bennet was a good fellow, and
1 wasn't much busy, I told him as how I'd
go with him. So wo started on down to
wards the Buzzard branch together. When
we got dowu to the brauch we saw the
smoke arising iu the woods over towards
Col. Wilhite's. So wo thought we'd under
take to go up on the hill ou the otherside of
the brauch, aud undertake to see what it
waa on fire. Buzzard branch is mighty
deep, and there waa no way to get across.
except to walk a little slin: pine log. I
started foremost, and when I got right over
tbe deepest part, my feet slipped, and I
fell heels over head right into the water ;
and Bennet Boone, like a dirty fool jumped
in right on top of me. That's all I know
about CoL Wdhite's firing the Woods .'"
Court. "The jury will take the case, as
the evidence is too strong to need any ar
gument." FALL GOODS
