Case of Desperation.
--An old lady went to the passenger depot in Atlanta, a few days since, with a bundle of clothes and a little bag of sugar, and, seating herself, began a solloquy in this wise "Wall, I hearn tell on a good stealin' in this yer town, but they can't steal from me, " and after thus delivering herself, carefully placed her bundles under her head, and before she knew it dropped off into a snooze.
After a refreshing nap she awoke, and discovering, to her great amazement, that her dry goods and sugar had disappeared, she jumped up, and standing erect, with her face lifted skyward, exclaimed, "Bless the heavens above me and the earth beneath me, and here I stand just as I am, without a rag!
Thank gracious, they can't wear my petticoat cause that's got my name on it, but they can eat my sugar."--Atlanta Confederacy.
