Only Waiting.
A verv aged inan in an alms-house was
asked what ho was doing now. He replied,
"Only Waiting." ,
Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
Of tho day's last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart once full of day:
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through tho twilight soft and grey.
Only wai tin s: till the reapera
Have the last sheaf gathered h?rnt?.
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have come.
Quicklv?Teapers! gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart.
For the bloom of life is withered.
And I hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
i Open wide the mystic gate, ,
\ At whose feet I long have lingered,
Weary, poor and desolate,
iven now, I hear their footsteps,
And their voices far away;
f they call me, I am waiting,
I Only waiting to obey.
ilywaiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
liv waiting till the glimmer
.f the day's last beam is flown;
m from ?ut the gathering darkness,
?ly, deathless stars shall rise, "
'hose light my soul shall gladly
|ead its pathway to tho skies.

said wo? to a locomotive. Jewhi
likins, how he rim.
"When he come to bush, he'd olear
it gopher and all; he thot there mont
be another settlement of bald hoT-:
nets in it; and that it was safer to go
over than thro, an' quicker done.
Every now and then, he'd paw one
side of his head, with one fust one"
foreleg and then tother; then he'd
gin himself an open-handed slap,
that sounded like a wagon whip, and
runnin' all the time and a carryin'
that gopher j ist about as fast and
high from the y earth as ever a go?
pher was carried, I swar. When he
cum to the fence, he burred right
thru it, taren nigh into seven panels,
scatterin' and breakin' the rails
mightily; and here he left the gopher,
gears, swingletree and klevis, and
mixed, up, not wuth a dern; most of
his shirt stuck to the broken end of
a splintered rail, and nigh onto a
pint o' hornets staid with the shirt, a
stingin' it all over-the balance on
'em, about a gallon and a half, kept
on with dad. He seemed to run ad
sactly as fast as a hornet could fly,
for it was the tighest race I ever did
see; down thru the grass they all
went, the hornets sorter makin3 it
look like smoke all round dad's head,
and he with nothin' on but the bridle,
and nigh onto a yard o' plow line
sailin' behind him. I seed he was
aimin' for the swimmin' hole in the
creek, whar the bluff is over twenty
feet perpendicular to the water, and
it's nigh onto ten feet deep. To keep
up his character as a horse, when he
got to the bluff he jist leaped off, or
rather he jist kept on runnin'. Now,
right thar, boys, he over did the
thing; if that was what he was arter,
for thar's nary hoss ever foalded,
darned fool enough to leap over sich
a place; a mule mont have done it,
but dad warn't acting mule. I crept
up to the edge and looked over.
Thar was old dad's bald head, for all
the world like a peeled in gun, a bob?
bin' up and down, and the hornets a
sailin' and circlin' round, turkey
buzzard fashion, and every once in a
while, one, and sometimes ten, 'nd
make a dip at dad's head. He kept
up a peart dodgin' under, sometimes
they'd hitjiim and sometimes they'd
hit the water, and the water was*ki
vered TOith drowned hornets.
' ' 'What on yearth are you doin'
thar, dad?' says I.
" 'Don't (dip) you see these infer?
nal varmints {dip) onto me?'
" 'What!' sed I. 'Them are hoss
flies thar; ye ain't really af eared of
them, are ye?'
" 'Hoss flies!' sed dad; 'they're
rale (dip) genewine bald hornets, you
(dip) infernal cuss. '
"'WelL, dad, you'll have to Btay
thar till nite, and arter they go to
roost, you come home and I'll feed
you.'
" 'And knowin' dad's unmodified
natur, I broke from them parts,, and
sorter cum to the copper mines. I
staid hid till about next arternoon,
when I seed a fellow traveling, and
sed I, 'What was goin' on at the
cabbin' this side of the creek when
you passed it?'
" ' Why, nothin' much, only a
j man was sittin' in the ddor with nary
i shirt on, an 1 a woman was greasing
his back and arms, and his head was
about as big as a ten gallon keg, and
he hadn't the first sign of an eye-ah
smooth. '
" 'That man's my dad,' sed I.
i " 'Been much fiten in this neigh
I borhood lately?' said the traveler,
I dryly
" 'Nun wuth speakin' of, person?
ally or perticularly,' sed I.
" 'Now, boys, I haint seed dad
since, and would be afeared to meet
him in the next ten years. Let's
drink."
WESTERN ETIQUETTE.-A Yankee
traveler, who saw the live hoosier,
I wrote to his mother as follows :
[ "Western people," said he, "go to
I their death on etiquette. You can't
tell a man here that he lies, as you do
down East, without fighting. A few
days ago a man was telling his neigh?
bors, in my hearing, a pretty large
? story.
j "Says I, 'stranger, that's a whop?
per.'
j "Says he, 'lay there, stranger.'
"And, in the twinkling of an eye,
II found myself in a ditch, the worse
j for wear and tear. "
"Upon another occasion, says I to
j a man I never saw before, as a woman
i passed:
I' "That isn't a specimen of your
? Western women, I should think?'"
Say? .he, "You are afraid of fever
! and agues, stranger, ain't you?"
"Very much," says I.
j "Weh," replied he, "that lady is
; my wife, and if you don't apologise
! in two minutes, by the honor of a
gentleman, I swear that these two
pistols (which he held in his hand)
shall cure you of that disagreeable
disorder entirely; so don't fear,
stranger. "
"So I knelt down and politely
apologised.
I "I admire this Western country
j much, but confound me if I can
stand so ' much etiquette ; it always
t takes me unawares."
