Some few yeats since, a gentleman resi' not an hundred milPs f ron this, trv lgin tle neiglibring State of Arkanss, on a collecting expedition had occasion to call upon a customer wrho we shall call'John Smith-net ie immortal John Smith Jr., who writes for the newspapers but in all pr obability, a relation of the great o iginal whose portrait hangs upon a peg against the cabin wall. Being, as he thought in the neighborhood, not kr'ovinog precisely the wheareabout of the aforesaid John Smith, he accosted a -copperas-striped specimen of the old 'No'rth Carolina State, who was rather listlessly engaged in front of a cabin, hewing out an axle trea for an ox-car t, from a pine-sapling. Tra-veller.-Good morning sir; will you have the goodness to direct ie to John Smith's ? N. C.-Certainly sir; if there is 9ny thing in this world I do know, it is the way to John Smith's. Why, John Smith and me came out together from North Carolina.- We cut zout that new road leading across that branch and over that hill. We - I'raveller.--But sir, will you hive lhe goodness to tell me where,bo lives ? N. C.-To besure I will. As I was saying, if there is any thing in this world [ do know, it is lihe road to John Smith's. Why, sir, John Smith and me married sisters; and has got the smartest wife in ill these parts. Se Traveller.-Nu doubt of it; but I want to see him, and have nothing to Jo with tie good qualities of his wife. Will you direct me ? N.C.-Of course I will, as I said before; if there is any thing in the world I do know, it is tie way to John Smith's. But as I was observing, his wife spins ier six cuts a day, besides attending to 1mily fixings. Traveiler.-She may spin sixty for ill I know or care, but that has noding o do with my question. I wish to find her husband-vill you tell me wlwc he ives ? N. C.-Will I tell you where John Smith-hives .?--Well,-trnrt's-a good -one; I tell you aa in, that if is there anything -n the world I do ki.ow, it is where Jolhn Smith lives. Why, sir, as I said befoic, we came from North Carolina together. And lie has a y'ke of thin ti uest pulling xen in these parts, His negro man I im is the smartest Traveller.-Mly dear sir, it is grow ing l;tte and Iwish to get on. If you can direct me, why don't you do it ? I ask you again if you %sill direct ne to John Smith's? N. C.-Hav'nt I toid, you a dozen times ilthere is-any thing ini this world I do know, it is where John Smith lives? IIivn't I told you that we come froin North Carclna together ? But speaking of his boy J in-he can pick out his hundred weight of cotton in a day, and shell out "a turn of co:n for mill" at night, and no mistake. Be sides sir- - Traveller.-Zounds, nian ! what have I to do wthh J im-or his cotton, or his corn ? I have asked you a plain ques tion, which I w% ili ask again. Is there, or i% t her e not, such a man as John Smith living in this section, and if y'ou know thre way to his Ihouse, will yotu poinit it out to tie? N. C.-And Zounds, man ! hav'nt I been telling you all the time, that there is such a man as John Sniih living~ in these digginis; add if there is anything in the wverid I do kniow, it is thc way to his house ? I tell you again, we not only come front Nuoith Carolina together, but cut out a new road leaiding across that branch and over the lill. Why, sir, John Stithl has the -smart est little daughter you ever saw. She has only bepen to school two years, and has got as far as amnp/ificatioun. ra~veller....Cotounid his daughtter, and her amnpliticati.n too'!-.I think yu have got thaut lar yourself. For when I rsk von a plain quiestion, which y'ou might answer in a htait dozent words, you spin a long yaain about roads, negroes, wives, oxen antd little girls. .Nowv do, that's a good fellow, just talk a little miore like a mart of senise, and show ime te road to John Smith's. N. C,-Don't you confound John's darter, mister; site's my niece, and a smart one shte is, too. Why, you. arc as tetchsous as 3 skinned bel, and won'L let a body direct you wvhen they are trying with all their miighti. To be short with you as von seem to wish it I tell you again, we cane from North Carolina together--we boghtttland to. gethier ut a dollar and htalfant acre; 'we bought three hundred a piece. John Smiih's land lies just across that swamip, bt lie don't live there now. Yousee Traveller.-I see I am not likely to get an answer of you to-day; so I mtay as welhl keep on. I ask you nnwv, and for the last time, wiill you, or will you otdre-m the way to John Smdth's? N. C.-And I tell ynu now, for .te twentieth time, if liere is any thingin this world I do know, it is the way to John Smith's. But I must tell you abo:ut his fine blooded mare and Tnimoleon filly. She tuck the purse last Satu day was a fortnight, at the Big Deer Lick course, like filing off a log. Shie's a holy critter I tell you-and throws it down on the g:it-and shoots aheAfl a leelle faster than the fastest kind of lightning. . Traveller.-Good day gir. And may old Nick take lJohn Smith, his wife, daughter, negioes, and sundries in gene ral; and you and your amplification in particular. (Puts to his horse in a fit of absolute despair of obtaining a direct answer to a simple question.) N. C.-The same to you, sir. And may old Nck take you and your boss too. Why, I never seed such a man. He kept asking, and asking; and I kept telling and telling-and he wouldn' lis ten a single bit. Why., lie Would'nt even wait till I told him what -Jahn give for his mare, besides a hundred oulter little things, that Would have beeri news to him, and Imade the time pass off agreeable. Well, let him goaihead. But if lie goes the toad bes started on in such a hurry lie wvon't get to John Smith's, and that's sonic comfort, any way. (Resumes the hewing of the axle tree.) WINCHIl L.
