A Soiathern'Story.
Tiventy years' ago it was the custom in
northwestern Georgia, as indeed iCwas throt
out the north west, for dry goods <dealers to
keep a barrel of sperits" in the back room,
and
. to treat literal customers to a glass
whenever 'desired.
Fillers S Dewhury were sfil*dealers in
one of the small towns indicated ; and' they
had for a customer a 'clever rolicking f(dh,w
named Joe 'Denny, who drank whiskey in
preference to :water, and whose wife was
flesh i?f. his flesh.' in that particular. The
old Couple would come in town, 'trade quite

On one occasion, both the oh] man and
the old '.xvoluan continued their potations in

drunker, the old lady became, he:pressed her
to drink'.
AL , gist she, refused, unless '-he would
sweeten-it with a 'little store :sugar.' Fillens
indulged her, and when the ohl people start
ed togo l ,ll6me in the evening •Inte, the old
man could scarcely mount his horse, and the
good wife bit.d actually to be lifted • and
placed on the villion . Happily
she leaned ollg ay and husband the other,
so that the gravitating point was between ;
and as she clung to him instinctively, th.i
passed out of the village fely.
„R e fore reaching home,- however they .had
to cross tt stnall creek, and when their horse
stepped into drink,the old lady having reach=
ed uncon ,, eiousness, released her hold and
quietly retapsed into the stream I.elow. Oc
cupied with' his thoughts, the old man jogged
slowly homeward. Arrived there,. the chil

Do ir4clies Choose their tins
A veiny clever cArreTondent has sentus a
let er o:int:lining this query ; and she makes
out heticase very • ably. She says. ' I h ave
been married many years ; and the match
eln , iiii , red a every gold one, suitable in
evefy te-pect,--rositi , .,n, and fortune. Every
one said I had ma , :e a good
,ckeice. • Now I
loved iny hu,band when I married him, be
cause he had, bj, .unwetriect aisideity, sac
ceedeitin gaining my : affections ; but had
elmiiV been my priveleilge, I certainly
shoulf . not have chosen him,. -As I look at
him his easy chair, :sleeping before the
fire, a huge' do attic feet, a , pipe / peeping
out` of ono i.)f the many pockets of his shoot
lug. coat. I can but think :how different he is
from vihat I would have "chosen: IMy first
penchant was for a fashionable clergyman, a
perfeettAdonis ; he was a flatterer, and cared
but little for me, though' I have not 'vet:, for
gottenithe° pang of his deiertion. My 'next
was a Lasvver ; a young - man of immense- tal
ent, sniooth, insinuating .manners ; but be too
after 4lking, .walking, ; daneing, - and flirting,
left m 0 itr the lurch. - Either of - these would
have ben my choice . ,' bad I so chosen ;, but
my prifent 'husband choie me, and,' therefore
I mailed ; and till.* I cannot Kelp think
ing must _be the way with half the . ...married
folk ofliny acquaintance.' - . . ,
Theses is both sound sense and truth in this
but. is 'lt not - better that men should chaise
.than trig they be chosen And is not our .
correspondent probably much' happier With
her • preient -husband, shooting-jacket, pipe
and doik inclusive, than - she would have been
with elther the fashionable clergyman or
the.cle-er lawyer ?.... Men are "proverbially i I

It is a strange, but ;melancholy' fact, that
when inung girls fancy theruseivea in love,
they are seldom :i(ever happy =if they marry
the.object 'of their choice. - The,. fact . vis in
most .caitas,.tany trid the husband they. itave

I soon as the first idea of love is awakened in
l'a feniale heart, the infaginaiion is setito work

I sible I:)erfection's are assembled togetluir in the
I young girls mind to endow thg, objeet `of her

that if, she marries she is miserable. the ob

i and she finds herself chained fur life tea man
