As I id consider that of considerable forth to me, and as he italicized lis wishes by carelessly playing rith a seven-shooter, I withdrew rom my garments with eagerness, ly masked friend then furnished ne with the regalia of the first de;rce, called 'The Festive Floughoy,' which consisted merely oi ne large cabbage leaf attached to waist-band of potato vines.

The M. E. S. P. then proceeds to invest the candidate with the regalia of the Festive Plowboy, which consists of a long tomato necklace. The grand hailing sign of distress is made by gently closing the left eye, laying the right fore-linger alongside the noso, and violently wagging the ears. It requires prac tice, Dut tlie advantages are lnieuat:. It also has an important signification, which you will do well to heed. The closing of the eye signifies that in all your dealings with mankind, you are bound to have an eye to business. Laying the finger , alongside the nose is emblematical i of wisdom, and places you at once among the 'knowing ones.' This is extremely handy In prognosticating new weather, and saves the wear and tear of almanacs. Wagging the ears signifies sublimity of purpose, and is thought to be emblematical of chidhood's happy hours. It is also supposed by some profound scholars to have a distinct reference to apple dumplings, but this fact is somewhat obscurcd by the dust of ages. In token that you are one of us, you will now be branded. j When one granger desires to as certain 'for sure' it there is anotncr of the order in the room, he raises himself gently by the slack of his unmentionables, scratches his off thigh with his near hoof, and remarks, in a voice of thunder: Are there any grangers about? The answer is: 'Jeesewax.' I was here interrupted, Mr. Editor, by a volley fired into the open window, evidently intended for me, Fortunately I escaped without a scratch, and, which is of more consequence, succeeded in fetching off my precious manuscript. This is about all there is in the ceremony of any importance. I must leave the country at once?armed men arc at my heels. They know that I am writing to expose them.
