I don' 0 owe more than I can pay." How muc 5 do you owe ? said I. B ''Only two dollars,*' said he. B I wish everbody was as well off i * Roland.

[Special.] When the ni^ht trnin of the Georgia railroad stopped at Milledgeville Sunday night, there stepped on board a party of three, one of which was literally loaded down with chains. When they left the depot a large crowd had gathored and watched them eagerly. When n Heat was taken two of the party proceeded to tie the man with chains about him securely to it. When he had finished, he remarked, "I reckon you won't steal any more horses before we get to Aiken." The three men were Messrs. R. A. Chafee, 1'. MrK. Williams and M. W. Smith, the former two citizens of Aiken, S. C., the latter a notorious horsethief whohad been captured in Miledgevillc, supposed to have been the one wanted by them. On the afternoon of the litith of September a well dressed man of pleasant address went to the livery stable of Mr. U. A. Chafee, in Aiken, S. (\, and ordered a horse and buggy. Being a atranger, he was requested to make the usual deposit for the turnout. When he was seated he dashed away, and was soon lost to sight in > cloud of dust. When the time arrived for his return lie did not show up. The owner became uneasy, and made inquiries to no avail. It wan ascertained that the stranger had

win county jail, lie admitted having stolen the horse from a gentleman in Brunswick, and refused to talk much. He was given a cell with two other prisoners, on tho lower floor of the jail, one of which was* a horse thief arrested during the week. A negro was doing some scouring in the jail, and late in the afternoon he went on the outside to secure some water. When he went out he left the door of the coll open. While he was out the three prisoners slipped out and crouched in a side partition. When the negro finished he wont out and the jailer locked the cells and out doors securely. When all was quiet the three men proceeded to take a liar of iron and beat a hole in the brick wall. They had workoil hard and well and a few minutes more they would have been as free as air. The keys grated in the locks of the front door, and the Sheriff Mr. Knnis, the jailer, and two gentlemen from South Carolina entered. When the desperate prisoners an v them they glared like mad inen, ami showed fight, but were noon overpowered and placcd iu a different cell. The ring leader of the

This is the way of it exactly. The j perils of riches. But still a fortune gained honestly in the pursuit of an honest calling is a Igood thing, and many men manage it j aright and manage their children too, and T am like everybody else : I think I would bo willing to risk it and take the chances. It ?s no sin to have it, but every man who is hunting for it ought to be forewarned and bring up his children on proper principles. "Get acquainted with them."
