Aa ~* itAU ZUIELOf Deacon Smith's Bull; O1, MIKE FlNK IN A TIGAT PLACE. Mike Fink, a notorious Buckeye bun ter, was contemporary with the celebrated Davy Crockett, and his equal in all things appertaining to human prowess. It was even said that the animals in his neighbor hood knew the crack of his rifle, and would take to their secret hiding places on the first intimation that Mike was about. Yet strange, though true, he was but little known beyond his immediate "settle ment." When we knew him, he was an old man -the blast of seventy winters had silver. ed o'er his head and taken the elasticity from his limbs; yet in the whole of his life was Mike never worsted, except on one occasion. To use his-own language, he never "gin in, used up, to anything that traveled on two legs or four," but one. " That once, we want," said Bill Slash er. as some dozen of us sat in the bar-room of'the- only tavern in the "settlement." "Gin it to' us now, Mike-you've pro mised long enough, and you're old now, and needn' care,' continued Bill'. "Right, right! Bill," said Mike, "but we'll open with a licker all round fust, it'll kind o' save my feelin's I recken-" "Thar, that's good. Better than t'other barrel, if anything !" " Well, boys," commenced Mike; you may talk o' your scrimmages, tight places and sich like, and subtract 'em altogether' in one all-mighty big 'un, and they hain't no more to be compared to the one I war in, than a dead kitten to an old she b'ar! I've fout all kinds of varmints, from au Ingin down to -a rattlesnake! and never was will'n to quit fast, but this once--an-d 'twas with a Bull! You see, boys, it was an awful. hot day in August, and I war nigh runnin' off into pure ile, when I war thinkin' that a dip in the creek mout save me. Well, thar was a mighty nice place in Deacon Smith's medder for that partic 'lar business. So I went down amongst the bushes to unharness. I jisthauled the old red shirt over my head, and war think in' how scrumptious a feller of my size would feel a wallerin' round in that ar water, and was jest 'bout goin' in, when I seed the old Deacon's Bull a makin' a B-line to whar I stood. I know'd the old cuss, for he'd skar'd more people than all the parsons o' the "settlement," and cum mighty near kill'n a few. Thinks I, Mike you're in rather a tight place-get your fixins on, for he'll be a drivin' them big horns o' his in yer bowels afore that time! - Well, you'll hey to try the old varmint naked, I reck'n. The Bull war' on one side o' the creek and I on t'other, and the way he made the " sile" fly for a "While, as if he war a diggin my grave, war dis tressin'! " Come on ye bellerinoldheathin,. said I, and don't be a standiin thar; for, asthe old' Deacon .savs~ok-the devil, '(yeri a comely to look on." This kind o'-rea~h --- edbhis und standi', an aehmnr wishous: for lie hoofed a little like, and made a drive. And as I don't like to stand in any bodj's wvay,I gin him plenty sea-room-l So he kind o's passed by me and come out on t'other side; and, as the Captain o' the. MaTd:Swamp Rangers would say, " boutface for,'nother.charge." 'Though I was ready for 'im thisitimne, he come mighty niglr rumin' foul o'?me! So 1 made up inymind the next tim~ehe went out he wotildn't be alone. So when he passed, I grappled his tail, and he pull'd me out on the "sile," and as soon aseve wvar both a' top of the-bank old brindle stopp'd and war about comin' round agin wvhen I begin pull'n t'other way. Well, I reek'n this~ kind o' riled him, for he fust stood stock still 'and ,look'd at: me for a spell, and then commenc'd pawin. and bel lern, -and the way he made his hind gear in pray iu the air, war beautiful!. But it wvarn't no use, he couidn't tech me, so be kind o' stopped to get wvind for suthin By this time, I had made up my mind to stick to his tail as long as it stuck to his back-bone! I didn't like to holler for help, nuther, kas it war agin my principle, and then, the Deacon had preachin at his house, and it .warn't far off nuther. I Anow'd if he hern the noise, the hull con gregation would come down ; and as I wvarn't a married, man, and had a kind o' hankerin arter a gal that war thar, I didn't feel as if I wvould like to be seed in that prcdicament. " So, says T, you old sarpent, do yer cussedest! And so lie did; for he drug me over every briar and stump in the field, until I war sweatin and bleedin like a fat bear with a pack o' hounds at his heels. K And my name ain't Mike Fink, if the old critter's tail and I didn't blowv out some times at a dead level wvith the varmint's back! So you may kalkerlate wve mnde good time. Bimneby he slackened a little, and then I had 'im for a spell, for I jist * dropped behind a stump and thar snubbed the critter! Nowv, says I, you'll pull up this 'ere wvhite oak-break yer tail! or jest hold on a bit till I blowv! " Well, while I was settin thar, an idea struck me-that I had better be a gettin out C)' this in some way. But howv, adzacly, wvas the pint! If I let go anid run he'd be afoul o' me sure !. So-lookin at the- mat ter in all its bearis, I cum to the conclu sion that I'd better let somebody knowv wuhar I was! So I gin a yell louder than. a locomotive whistle, and it wvarn't long afore I seed the Deacon's two dogs a com ing down -like as if they war seein which could get thar fast. I know'd who they w~as arter-they'd jine the Bull again me, I war sartain, for they war orful wene mnous and had a spite agin me. So, says L, old brindle, as ridin is as cheap as wvalk in. on, this rout, if you've no objections, I'll jist take a deck passage on that ar back o' yourn! So I wvasn't long getten * ~ astride of him, and theni if you'd been thar, you'd 'ave sworn than warn't nothing hauman in that ar mix ! the site flew so or *fully as the critter and I railed round the fi.l-one dog on one side and one on 'tother, trying to clinch my feet! I pray'd and cuss'd, and cuss'd and pray'd, until I couldn't tell which I did last-and neither warri't of any use, they war so orfully mixed up. "Well, I reckon I rid an hour in this way, when my old brindle thought it war time to stop to take in a supply o' wind ind cool off a little! So when we g' I vround to a tree that stood thar, he ::a t'rally halted! Now, says 1, old boy, you'll lose one passenger sartain! So I jist clum upon a branch kalkelatin to roost thar till I starved, afore I'd be rid round in that ar way any longer. I war a ma kin tracks for the top o' the tree, when I heard suthin a makin an orful buzzin over head. I kinder look'd up and if thar warn't-well there's no use a swearm now, but it war the biggest hornet's nest ever built! "You'll "gin in" now, I reckon, Mike, case thar's no help for you! But an idea struck me, then, that I'd stand a heap bet ter chance a riden the old Bull than where I war. Says I, 'old feller, if you'll hold on. I'll ride to the next station! any how, let that be whar it will!" So I jist drop ped aboard him, agin, and looked aloft to see what I'd gained in changin quarters: and, gentlemen, I'm a liar if thar warn't nigh a half a bushel of the stingin var mints ready to pitch into me when the word "go" was gin! Well,! reckem they got it, for "all hands" started for our company! Some on 'em hit the dogs about a quart stuck me, and the rest charged on old brindle. This time, the dogs led off rust, " dead" bent for the old Deacon's and as soon as old brindle and I could get underway, we followed! And as I war only a deck passfnger, and had nothin' to do with steering the craft, I swore if I had we shouldn't have run that channel, any how! "But, as I said afore, the dogs took the lead-brindle and I next, and the hornets dre'kly arter. The dogs yellin-brindle bellering, and the hornets buzzin and sting. in! I didn't say nothin, for it warn't no use. Well, we'd got about two hundred yards from the house, and the deacon hern us and cum out. I seed him hold up his hand and turn white! I reckoned he w.s prayin, then, for lie didn't expect to le called for so soon, and it wan't long, neither, afore the hull congregation, men. women and children, cum out, and then all hands wept to yellin! None of them had the fust notion that brindle and I be longed to this world. I jist turned my head and passed the bull congregation! I seed that run would be up soon, for brindle couldn't turn an inch from the fence that stood dead ahead! " Well, we reached that fence, and I went ashore, over the old critter's head, landing on t'other side, and lay thar stun. ned. It warn't long afore some of 'cm as war not so scared, come round to see what I war! For all hands kalkelated that the bull and I belonged together 1 But when brindle walked off by himself, they seed how it wir, and one of 'em said, "Mike Fink has got the wust of the srimmage once in his life !" " Gentemeifem-tat-day-Trerappedc the courtin business,-and never spoke toa gal since ! And wihen my hunt is up or this yearth, thar won't be any moreFs and it's all owing to Deacon Smith's Brin, die Bull" CALvEs.-" You are from the country are you not, sir?" inquired a dandy clarli in a book store, of a handsomely dresse< Quaker, who had given him some trouble " Yes." ~o" Well, here is an essay on the rearini ofcalves." . " That," said. the Quaker, as he turne( t'o-reave the store, "-thee had better pre sent to thy mother." ".Au !" said old Mrs. Jane Doosenbury "larning is a great thing, I've often fe!l the need of it. Why, would you believ< it, I'm now sixty-five years old, and onlj know the names of three months in th< year; and them's spring, fall and autumn I Iarnt the names of them when I was leetle bit of a gal !" " DoEs your arm pain you, sir 1" asked a lady of a gentleman who had seate( himself near her in a mixed assembly and thr-own his arm across the back e her chair, and touched her nreck. " No, Miss, it don't; but why do yot ask?" " Because I noticed it was out of place that's all." The arm wvas removed.
