THE "ORPHAHT COLT.â HOW LITTLE JIMHT 8CBUGGII8 WHIPPED HIS FIGHT. Ttir IV Titkv a Bar Mil Bake a *»., af Uiu.-U(ic Hla. â â «rea ritU â »< a fair I'lgkL Hutus fenders in OaSuer LkOgtr. Hll sulil« along Into the fall of the year. The Helds was browo sad wlllirml. The trees was disusing colon and the woods was fall of grapes ami imiBcadlnri and ohlnkyplna and chestnuts aud the like or that, whan I It tin Jimmie .Scrugg'n* made hla drat appearment In the Rocky Creek settle ment. TUB PtltUT TAintT TALK. I icmimber llm same as If it was yestrrdsy how little Jimmy looked the ftr»t tuomiu he showed up at our boose lookin (or âsomethin to do and sum mars to stay.â as lie was wont to tell It. Lie waa about tbe sorriest and moat seediest luukla customer that was erer tamed out in these parts. He was to (CAOdlout pslo and allm and puny and aiokly appeurin till It made me feel rale sorry about somethin to look at him. âHullo Buster!â says L "Did a »Uwy wind blow you up, or did you jest drap down f How far have you come since you passed tbe last sails post this side of home fâ âIf jua please, mister.â lays he. âI! ain't got no home, aud I urn lookin for somethiu to do aud summers to I stay. Xou donât look big and lining enough to make a rvglar Utld band,â 1 went ou to any aa l aland the youngster up. "I am skenrcd you mought maybe dry up on the stem, or blear r way or torn tu somethin good to eat. Maybe your tua don't put enough aalt In your dirt.â "I ain't sot no ma,â says he, and the next mlott there waa tears backed up in his eyes, and from where I waa blamrd If they didnât look moat ei big aa liana marble* to me. Then I got aoiry light away for what I bad spoke and tho way in which I a poke It, 'cause If there la anything In this vain and wicked world which I do love uext to little girl* it la llule boys. Cole out to Uiu gala I look him by the band, and llien presently we waa renin on the front door steps bavin a private ramily talk amongst ourselves. 1 dusaent ask him about his pa for fears It mnughl break him up agslo and start him off Into another cryln spell. But tareclly be up and told me, free gratia, for nothin, aa It were, that hr never did bave oo pa so fur as be kuows of. Tba Urst thing be koowed ha waa living In town with hia ma, but aeeln how the country was the best place for poor folks, they moved out to Die old <frlme* farm, where they lived aud got along right tolerable well till bis uia took sick with a fever or somethin and died. Aud so It bad uow cotiio to pass that be didn't have no ma, nor pa, dot nothin. â ItOTHKE, *ai WAS WlLLnsVâ â1 am nine yean old and gwioa on ten,â says little Jimmy aa he mopped the tear* outen bis eyts with the knuckles of one hand. "I ain't very big to my sice, fafct ID grow fast from uow on. 1 am u whole paaele stronger than I look and I eau do a heap of thing*. 1 oan tote wood, acd fetch walct, and drive up tho cowe, and feed the borsee, and sweep and boe, and chum, and pick cotton, and 1 will be big enough to plow In two or tbrre years. Whilst 'lm little and weasly like 1 am 1 donât want nothin but suincllitu to do aud summers to stay, and I am willlu to work for that.â About that tioio mother she come out to where wa waa and wanted to know where in the round crawled world did Ihv child come from. I told her be whs wlust you mought call au orphan! colt, without bed or feed or paster and 1 was thin kin right aeriona about tnra tu him In my lot for the winter any how. Then I put in give her little Jim my's story exactly llee be had told It to me. She wa* a right marl moved to ward* the buy when she found be didnât have no ma, though she eras powerful bad worried to think that be never did have no pa. Hat still at the same tit*** she wav wlllln to leave It with me, as I was the general boas. Any thing I raid went with her, and ah* wa* always more than willing to do tier part by the frtendlaaa and the homeless and Lh* helploss. "I.lfe la this valley of dry boor* I* fall of up* end downs, and moat in generally downs, JRafa*,â **yt She, -'and nobody knows what wa may come tv some of these days.â So I told llule Jimmy that he nought come In and lira with us, and call our home hte beats till he oou kl do better. THM 1IOV WA* A CAtmOg, No donbts ybu have »**n boyi le your day and time tliat bad a regiar gal look. Wen, It waa tbe aaaaa way with lltUe Jimmie. Beams to ao like about all that kept him from hain a girl waa a wool bat gone to aaed, and red Jaaoa breoehea. and a act of home made galluses, low.kl of a blue check ered dreaa and a pink inn bonnet. He waa ao pale and tallow-faced till bleea gracious I could sue the blue vales under hla akin, hla bantla ao little and wblle and Unn till I ouuld mighty nlgb see thiuugli them, Slid bis artat and lags waa awelltd op ao till they looked like pipe sWraa. But Jimmy raaln umed from ll.o start that be was a thoroughbred Amectoaa boy, aod abte and wlUIn to do âą boy's pert Ull ha growed some more and could call kite sal f a men. And, by gatllns, ha stood hla groand end fought it out on tliaen Knee Whan It come to light work ha waa a plate cnutloii to bo certainly. I wanted to be gentle and May with him to make up for hurtln hia feelloa that mom In whan he rim turned up, ar>d I gtwa hiei a right amart rope ao he eon id work it little and play a heap and bevu hla way aud take Iris own gait like It â sited him. But he didn't aaed any petiln, and be woulioât be spiled in the raisin. 11 never was Coo late or too soon, or too hot or Coo ooid for little Jimmy to heap and about; tend In to the various and sundry odds and rods and Jobs sod toms that was laid oat ror blm around tbs place. He was always ready and always wlllln, and when yon say that about a yeartin boy yon bave remarked a whole paaele. TRAINING UP A l'AIUTCU. The aeoood yeer After little Jimmy come lo live with oa 1 put him In trslnln for a farmer. 1 give blm a cotton patch for bis ownasl own, you understand, and told blm be oould work It at odd times and between drinks, as It were, wben mother dido't have him bumped and huetlln around the bouse. In tbe meantime 1 let tl>e hands plow right on through nts patch like It waa bIm, and b« didn't bave oolblog to do bat to hoe and piok it out. That Hell when tbe crone srere all out of Um be Ids end the cash was In tlie old sock me and Jimmy bad to sstlle up, and after eonatderabie figuration It teecet like be wee ahead of tho music to tlia extent of seven dollars and six bit* bo we then bed e settlement oo spot and 1 paid him every ceut In full that was com In to him. And If be lives a hundred years be never will be âąs nob as be was that day. lie waa as proud a* a young rooster with bis Ural tail feathers, f hava knowed folks that would give their boys patches to work end oall their owa, eud then along la the full tbe money would pet mixed up with tbe general family fans and never reaob tbe boys pockets. But that slut right. Tbe way to make somethin oat of a hoy ami make him feel like be is somebody from some where* la to give him a boyâs ohaocte and tote fair with him. If you donât want to raise n sneak you must treat the boy like the world is oountin on him for tbe maklo of a man earns of these day*. uuie Jimmy took hi* money and put It away whero be could look at it oneet In awhile, aod kept It two or three works before be mid anything about apaodin of It. Whan we settled up l told him the money was tilsâlie bad worked for It and yearut It with bti own hands, and b» could git the good of It any way be w uited to. He eoold save it tor look, or tie could ait the good If It soy way be wanted to. Ha ooald »*ve it for luck, or lie oould âąP*od it for CfarUtmss, und it was nobody'* business but bis. But one mornin he oltowed up til of a euddent like and wanted to know what I would take tor that little heifer calf, which our old dun vow bed died and left the maimer before. Xov, that calf was âąbout three part* of Jersey and oome from a family of due milker*, and I lowed aha was worth tea dollars of any mnoâ* money. But being as It was Jimmy aod 1 oould aits his pile I told him lie oould take her for seven dollars if the Aggers suited him. Right there we closed the trade aod Jimmy didnât have but only tlx bits left. JUut he lowed that was enough tu buy him a oew kuifa and some little extrtet for Christmas. The next day we went out and put the year!in lu Jimmy's mark_ » crop in the left ear tnd * underbtt In the rightâand she was bis hence forward* and forever after that. TUS SOY TO TBS FROST. When little Jimmy was 13 pmt, u next grass 1m commenced boldiu the plow noodles tolerable regular. Ha had to jump aod wiggle powerful at Drat, Ilka one of those old Jacksouupers with a string tied to his leg. But it want ao very long before he worked hla band lu and gut the bang of It, and then It was smooth and easy saitiu. At 14 that stray orpbaat boy could plow a straight furrow and pm as much fresh dirt behind him in a day as any man, white Ot black, la the settlement. We would give him a little acbooliu in the winter end then turn him loose on the farm. Things rocked along so till little Jimmy waa 18 years old, and a right smart chunok of a boy. Re was now runnln op and Allln out aod takin oo a general ahapo of a man. About that time I made au other trade with him to run the farm three years, and when the Urn* run cot the boy had about S800 put sway In one of bio last yearâs socks.

Kever in oar recollection h»s nation al politic* been in aueh a tangle aa it 1* now. Never sueh biUerouaa and irreooncl table difference* In the press ouoccrolog a platform and a candidate. Some of their ullrranoee are shameful, intolerant, dlsgusllug. They speak ol the Chicago platform a* born of ao arcliy and repudiations and us* all the odloos adjective* they can fled la the dictionary. The Mew Turk World te especially bitter against Loth platform mod candidate, and because It cannot bud a blemish In Mr. Bryan *e life or record trie* to belittle him as tbe boy orator. Wbeu Job's three aged friends charged him with self conceit and re bellion against his Maker a yooug mao listened and at last ventured to speak. LI* upolgtfud for bts youth, bat sdded: "Ureutman are got always wise, nor does old nos always aoderetarid Judg ment.â Tbe Lord was wroth agaiust Jobâs three friends, bat bad no word of condemnation for Ellhu. 1 don't know bow old thee* belliger ent editors are who deoonnoe Mr. Bry an for btf youth, but tber seem to have forgotten that Jefferson wee only J3 years old when be wrote tbe declara tion of tndepeudewoe, Medieou was on ly 40 when he and Hamilton wrote end published th* Federalist; which ie still seid to be the greatest treatise on po litical aclenoe that ha* ever appeared In the world. Jobu Marshall was only 30 when appointed attorney general by Washington, Patrick Henry was but 20 when he made the speech that Orel made him famous, and was >0 when ueorga Nuon iua or nun. 'tin â â or far lbe moat powerful speaker I ever beard.

Hen ry Clay waa tent to Uv* United btatea aenate whou be was SO. Jotio Hat dolpb waa leader of tlie house In IflOO when lie waa only SB yean old. Out thing la certain. Mr. Bryan la old enough to capture and lead the old and the young who are to fortunate a* to boar him: and Alfred Lewis, of lb* New York Journal, who baa tieaid all Ida ape echos, say* ba list never made a failure or a mistake; that be 1* a stu dent of all history and burns the mid night oil. Every newspaper correspon dent at Chicago accord to him extraor dinary abilities and have dared to aay to even to lb* disgust of old stag* who stayed at home. AM to the platform I cannot see any thing In It that should arouse such de nunciation. One platform Is for gold and the other for silver and gold. Hreat and good men differ honestly about that and they have a right to differ. The beat editorial I have seen from a gold standard paper waa In the Richmond Dispatch under Die caption of "Donât Exaggerate"âthe enlriâ of which was "Donât try to alarm the peo ple with predictions of ruin aud panic and national distress should silver be restored to Its former condition. While we are for a tingle geld standard yet we caunot predial any anoh evil*. The transition will oome gradually if it comee at all, and our bankers and com mercial men are smart enough to pre pare for it and let it come by by de gree#. Donât exaggerate the situation." That la the way to talk and to write. Ivat everybody do like roy friend Lsrru mors, who hat all Die time beeo a gold bug, but aay* be will support Bryun and tha platform. X tried, said he. to keep them from putting that silver plank In the platform, bat they would du It, and sow I am going to aland oa It nutil it lireak* down, and then I can tell the boy*. âI told yon an.â And than he whispered to â ».- âAnd, be tide* being a democrat from away bank, my mother waa a Bryan and her father was from Culpepper county In old Virginia, douât you eee.â "Ofcourse, ot course,â aafd I, "you are right; yon are elwaya right.â a litre âą(« I'lffvi vrmijpi bfuta tnt currency end tlm country bu survived tbetn.
