The first one I met was "1Sut" (after cross ing, the Hiwassee,) " weaving along" in is usual rambling, uncertain gait; his appearance at once satisfied me that something was wrong. He had been sick-whipped in a fight, or was just outgrowing one of his big drunks. But upon this point I was soon enlightened. " Why, Sut, what's wrong now ?" "Heap's wrong; durn my skin ef I haint most dead. Lite off that ar hoss, George, an take a horn, while I take two, (shaking that everlasting flask of his at me,) and plant -yer self on that ar log, an I'll tell ye ef I kin, but its most beyond tellin. I reckon 1'sa the darn dest fool outin' Utah, scept my dad, for he act ed hoss, an I haint done that yit-allers in some trap that cudent ketch a sheep. I'll drownd myself some day, see ef I don't, jist tu stop a family dispersition to make d:-d fools on themselves." "How is it, Sut; have you been beat play ing cards, or drinking, which is it ?" "Nar one; that can't be did in these partsi but seein its you, George, I'll tell you; butI swar Pm shamed-sick, sorry, and-and-mad, I am." " Ye know I boards with Bill Carr, at his cabin on the mountain, and pays for sich es I gets when I hevo the money, and when I hevent eny, why he takes one third of it outen me in cussin; and she, that's his wife Betts, takes tother two thirds with the battlin stick, and the intrust with her tung, an the intrust's more'n the princip'l-heap more. She's the cussedest 'oman I ever seed eny how fur jaw, breedin an pride. She can scol, a blister onto a bull's face rite on the curl two minits. She out breeds ever thing river-an' patterns arter every fashun she hears, till on from bus sils to briches. Oh! she's one of em, and some times she's two or three. Well, ye see, I'd got some made cotton truck to make me a new shut outen, and coaxed Betts tu make it, and about the time it wur don, here cums Lawyer Johnson along an axed fur breckfus-I wish it had pizened him, durn his hide, and I wonder it didn't, fur she cooks awful mixins when she trys. I'm pizen proof myself, (holding up his flask and peeping thro' it,) ur I'd been dead long ago.") "1Well, while he wur a eatin, she spied out that his shut was stiff and nuty slick; so she never rested till she wormed it outen him that a presparation of flour did it, and she got a few particulers as 'bout the perceedings tu, outen him by 'oman's art-I don't know how she did it, perhaps he does. After he left, she sot in and biled a big pot ove paste, nigh onto a peck of it, and souzed in my shirt, and let it soak awhile; then she took it and ironed it out flat and dry, and sot it up on its aidge agin the cabin in the sun. Thar it stood as stiff as a dry hoss hide, an it rattled like a sheet ove iron, it did. It wur pasted tugether all over. When I cum tu dinner, nuthin wud du but I must put it on. Well, Betts ;md me got the things open arter sum hard work, she pullin at one of the tails, and me at tuther, an I got intu it. Durn the everlastin new fangled shut I say. I felt like I'd crawled inter an old bee gum, and hit full ove pis-ants; but it wur like Lawyer Johnson's, an I stud it like a man, an went tu work tu build Betts a ashhopper. I worked powerful hard and swet like a hoss, an when the shut got wet it quit its hurtin. Arter I got dun, I tuck about four fingers eve red eye, and crawled up int~u the cabin loft to take a snuse.. " Well, when I waked up I thot I was ded, or had the cholery, for all the jints I cud move were my ankles, wrists and knees-cudn't even muve my hed, and skasely wink my eye. The cussed shut wur pasted untu me all over, from the pint of the tails tu the pint of the broadasx coller over my years. It sot to mec as clost as a poor cow dus; her hide in March. 1 squirm'd till I got it sorter broke at the shoulders an elbows, and then I dun the durndest fool thing ever did in these mountains. I shuffled my briches off an tore luse from my hide about two inches ove the tail all round, in much pain and tribulation. Oh ! but it did hurt. Then I tuck up a plank outen the loft, and hung my legs downt thru a hole, and nailed the aidge ove the front tail tu the aidge of the- loft before, and( t~he bind mail I nailed tu the plank what I sot on. I onbuttoned the collar and ristbands, raised my hands way up abuy my head, shot ump my eyes, said grace, an jumped thru tu the ground floor." Hiere SM ruminated sadly. " George, I'm a darnder fool than ever dad was, hoss, -hornets an all. I'll drowned myself aum ove these days, see ef I don't. " Well, go on Sut; did the shirt come off?" "I-thin itdid, I hern a noise sorter like tarin a shingle ruff off ove a house, all at onst, and felt like my guts an bones wur all that reached the flure. I staggered tu my feet an Ink a look up at the shut. The nails had all hilt thar holt, and thar it wur, hanging arms down, inside out, and stiff as ever. it looked like the map ove Mexico jist arter one of the wust battles-a patch ove my hide about the size of a dollar and a half bill here ; a bunch of my liar about the size ove a bird's nest thar; then some more skin ; then sum paste; then a little more bar; then a heap ove skin ; then more bar, then skin ; an so on all over that darned new fangled, everlastin, infer nal cuss ove a shut. It wur a picture tu look at-and so war I. The hide, lhar and paste wure about ekucally divided atween me and hit. Wonder what Bett's, durn her, thot when she cum home and found me missin. Spect she thinks I crawled intu the thicket and died ov my wounds. It must av skarked her good, fur I tell you it looked like the skin of sum wild beast torn off alive, or a bag what had carried a load ove fresh beef from a shootin match. "Now, George, ef I ever ketch that Lawyer Johnson out, Ill shoot him, an of an 'oman talks about flatnin a shut for me again, durn my everlastin picter ef I don't flatten her. " It's a rit-ribution, sartin, the biggest kind ove a preacher's rit-ribution. Du you mind my drivin ove dad thro' that hornet's nest, an then racin ove him inter the kreek ?" " Well, this is what cums ove it. I'll drown myseJf sum of these days, see ef I don't, ef I don't dio from that orful shut. Take a horn, and don't you ever try a sticky shut as long as you live." A Dm OF Paoyr.--An Englishman fought a duel with an American. The conditions were that but one shot should be exchanged and that the precedence should go by lot. The English man got the first chance, but failed to hit his adversary. As the Yankee lifted his weapon, the other called out: " Hold ! I will buy your shot !" All were astonished at so strange a proposi tion, but the opponent answered: "'What will you give ?". " Five hundred pounds !' " Nonsense," cried the Yankee, taking aim again. " I am a good marksman--you set too low a value on yourself !" " You estimate me at too high a price; but I will give you a thousand pounds." " Agreed !" cried the Yankee, and the duel was at an end. " Sister, are you happy ?" " Yes, Deacon; 1 feel as though I was in Bel zebub's bosom ?" " Not in Belzobub's." " Well, some one of the patriarchs, I don't care which." A chap down town wishes to excuse his bad spelling, thus : " i boape yew will xcuse mil badd spellin specially the litle i's because i can't mank them enny biggur on count of the nip of my pen bein so short that it can't make a long mark." " Ah," said an Englishman, the other day, "I belong to a country upon which the sun never set." "And I," said a Yankee, " belong to a country of which there can be no correct map; it grows so fast that surveyors can't keep -nn with it !" SELLbN I HORSE. A good clergyman wishing to be rid of his horse, and try for a better one, directed his old negro man to sell his beast for what he would fetch, or to exchange him for another, adding at the same time an anxious caution not to de ceive the purchaser and even enumerating the faults of the animal, lest one should be over looked. "Remember, Pompey he has four faults." "0, yes, massa, I take care." Pompey, jogging along the road and.conning over the list to hinisetf, as the.old lady did her luggage, " big box, little box, band box, bundle," was overtaken by a man on horse back, who entered into conversation, and among other topics, made inquiries about the horse. Pompey told his story; said that his master had charged him to tell the horse's faults to the purchaser without reservation. " Well, what are they ?" said the stranger, who had a mind for a swap. " Dere is four, massa," said Pompey, " and I don't remember 'em all very well just now, but-" " Well, tell me those you do remember," said the other. " Well, sah, one is dat de horse is white and the white hairs get on massa's coat, and dat don't look well for a clergyman." "And the next." "Why, when he comes to a brook, he will put his nose down and blow in the water, and massa don't like dat." "What next 7" "I can't any how remember de oders," said Pompey, peering up into the clouds with one eye, refleetingly. . The stranger concluded to strike a bargain and exchange his own horse, which had not quite so genteel an air as the parson's for this nearly unexceptionable animal. It was not long before the clerical steed stumbled and threw his rider into a ditch. Picking himself up as well as he could, he examined his new purchase a little more closely, and discovered that the horse was entirely blind. Finding Pompey again without much difficulty, his wrath burst forth in a torrent of reproaches: " You black rascal, what does this mean ? This horse is broken kneed, and as blind as a mole !" "0, yes, massa,"said Pompey blandly, " dem's de oder two faults dat I coultn't remember! "GOT DAT NiGER"-" Mister Higginbottum, I'm gwine to pop a ques'ion to you, an' I wants you to ans'er it widout any circumference, ef you kin git it out o' your wool." " Wall, Mister Dimity, jist out wid it fur I'm needin' salt to 'lighten some nigger's underpin in. " Now dis is de grate ques'ion: What makes you so much like do grate Wizzard o' de Norf ?" " Golly, 'parin' me to de big white fo'lks ? I'll dissolve dat composition right away; 'Cause, 'cause-I gibs it rite strate up." "'Cause you is a nigromancer, (Negro man sir ?") " You run ag'in a sprout when you come at dis chile wid dem dar comblundrums. Now, jist you tell ine whot makes you an' de Wiz zard so inuch alike." "Oh, dunno; conclude." "'Cause you boaf like to play slight o' han' arter dark ! le- ah! ya! ya! Unjinted de niggers's big to' dat time." A boy was lately asked by the catechist of the school "who first bit the apple?" To which he replied " Don't know ; but guess it was our Bets, for she eats green apples like the devil." IN Siberia, the greatest luxuries a:'e r'aw cats served up in bear's oil ; while in Japan a stew ed crocodile flanked with monkey's feet is the height of epicureanism. Bland & Butler's !
