110 7 THE SCHOOL MASTER MARRIED A
FORTUNE.
HY' MAJ. J. JONES, OF p2IES'ILLE
It's about tea years ago,pence the inciden what
I'm gwine to tell tuck place. It. caused a great
sensation in Pineville at the time, and the effect to
make fellers monstrous ~ c•arefill bow they runaway
with other people's daughters ever sence.
Mr. Ebenezer Doolittle was the aborninablest
man after rich gals Over was. He hadn't been
keepin school more'n six months, before he had
bound out every gal in the settlement whose father
bad twenty niggers, and he had courted all of 'em
within a day's ride. He was rather old to be pop
ular with the gals, and somehow theydidn't ike
his ways, anti the way they bluffed him off was
enougli—to--discourage-iany •body hit
schoolmaster what wanted to get married and had
n't many years of grace left. But it didn't seem
to make no sort of difference to him. He was
bound to have a rich wife out of 'em, and if he fail
ed in one case it only made him more persevering
in thnjnext. His motto was, "never say die!"
Betty Darling, as they used to call old Mr.
Darling's daughter, what used to live on the Runs
—was about the torn downest gal in all Georgia.
Betty was rich and handmome and smart, and had
more Admirers than she could shake a stick at; but
she was such a tonnentatia' littie coquet that the
boys was afraid to court ber in doti•nright earnest.
When Mr, Doolittle found her out he *ern rite
at her like a hous-afire. She-was just the gal for
him and he was determined tp have her at the risk
of his life.
Well, be laid siege to old Darling's house day
and night, and when he couldn't leave his school to
go and see her, he nt letters to her that was enuf
to throw any other gal but Betty Darling into a fit
of hysterick.s to read 'ern. Jest as every body ex
pected, after encouraging him jest enuf to make
the feller belAve he had the thing did, she lucked
him flat. But slum. be was perfectly used to that
he was too much of a filosopher to be discouraged
by sich a rebuff, when the game was worth pur
He didn't lose a niiuit's time, but just brushed
up and went rite at Her agin. Every body was
perfectly surprized to see him gwine back to old
Darling's, after. the way he had been treated by
Betty; but they was a great deal more surprised
and the boys was .terribly alarmed' in about a
month, at the headway he seemed to be makin' in
his snit. All at once, 31Iss Betty's . conduct seemed
to change towards him. and though her father and
mother was terribly opposed to the match, atty
body could see that she was hegira:Cu:lg to like the
schoolmaster very well.
Things went on this way for awhile, till bimeby
old Darling got so uneasy about it that he told Mr.
Doolittle one day, that he musn't 'comb to his
house no more, and if he ketched him s:endin any
more love letters and kiss-verses to his darter by
his nigger gals, he'd make one of his boys give
him an aifired coshidcn.
But 3h-. Doolittle didn't care for that neither.
He could see Miss Betty when she came a shop
pin' in stores in the town, and there was more 'n
ono way to get a letter to her.,What did he rare
that old darling His daterr was head' and
heart in love with him, and was jest the-gal to sun
away with him too, if she was opposed by her pa
rents. And as for the,property, he was certain of
that when once be married the gal, -
One Sdturday, when there was no school, Mr.
Doolittle went to old Squire Rogers, and told him
he must be'ready to 'marry a couple that night, at
exactly ten o'clock.
'mum; ses he, 'you musn't say a word to n..,body
Squire. The license is all ready, and the party
wants to be very private'
Squire-Rogers was one of the most accommoda
tin fellers: in the world on' such':' occasions. Mrs.
Rogers was a cranky, cross old lady. And nothin'
done the squire so much good_ as to marry others,
it didn't make no odds who they was. Besides,
Mr. Doolittle was an injured man and a great
scholiar in his opinion, and belonged to His clnirch.
Mr. Doolittle. arranged the whole business in
first rate order. Miss Betty was to meet him at
the end of her fathers lane, disguised in a ridin'
dress borrowed for- the occasion, when he was to
take her in a close One horse baroliche and 'fly
with her, on the wings of love,' as he said he would
to the squire's office, where they was to be united
in the bands of wedlock,, before anybody in the
village kneed anything about it. He had made ar
rangements at the Hotel for a room, which he
seed fixed for the auspicious occasion, and he writ
a letter to a friend of his down in Augusta to be
thor the next week to take charge of his school as
he thought it might be necessary for him to keep
out of old Darling's way for a few weep till the
old feller could have time to come to. All day
Mr. Doolittle was hustling about as if he wasnt
certain which end he stood on, while the sunshine
of his beak beamed from his taller colored face in
a way Ice let every body know something extraor
dinary was gwine to happen.
Just after dark he mought have been seen dri
ving out by himself in a barouche towards old .
Darling's. Every body 'spected something, and
all hands was on the lookout It was plain to see
Squire Rogers' importance was swelled considera
ble with sofriething,' but_nobody could get a word
out of him.
Mr. Doolittle didn't spare the lash after he got
out - of town, and with straining eyes.and palpita- ,
ting heart, he soon reached the place appointed to
nfeet the.object of his consumin' affections.

Old Squire Rogers looked, like he. had married

An Eloquent Appeal.
One Paul Denton, a Methodist Preacher in Tex-
as, advertised a barbecue, with better liquor than
usually furnished. When the people assembled, a
dellarado ittthe-crowticrieiftmt---
- Mr. Paul Denton. your reverence has lied. You
promised us not only a good barbecue, but - better
liquor. Where is the liquor r'
"There !" answered the inis-zionary, in tones of
thunder, and pointing his motionless finger at the
matchless double spring gushing up in two strong
columas, with a sound like a shout of joy, from the
earth. "There rhe repeated, with a look terrible
as the lightning, while his enemy actually trembled
on his feet, '' is the liquor which God, the eternal,
brews for-all his children'. ,Not in the simmering

gold ihe , averaged a - day. . She replied , 'Thr?q
weeks aiiitatt ounce! Her reply reminded me . Of
an anecdOte of the -late Judge B, who met a girf
returning from market, and asked her, How deep ;
