Ready Relief, made of corn, which is
a popular remedy in these parts for
snake bites and pond water. Just
then, tho lazy man of the party, a
short, stout man from Augusta called
me up into tho mill-house, where he
was taking Ids case at full length on
the floor, with a soft ahunk under ids
head. With tears in his eyes' he fift-
sured mo that he belle ved that there
Imd nqt been a fish over three inches
in length ia that j>ond within tho Im-t
forty years, but just thfn a fine wore-
inouth perch, captured his hook and
the'lazy man reluctantly walked down
the tog-way—pulled him out, threw
fish-lino and polo down iti the hot
sand, walked back into the mill ami
lay down again with a contented sigh.
Tie was not too lazy to talk for he be
gan to compare courting and fishing.
They are both, he said, hot work this
weather, and hard to understand. A
courting character g^ts hooked as of
ten as he goes a fishing—his lines get
tangled, sometimes he catches a tarra-
pin instead of a silver fish, sometimes
a War-mouth io the person of a scold
ing wife, and occassionally ho get,s
whaled. Overcome by this Inst, he
dropped asleep just as tha bcaCnjutui
and his slim partner Charlie came out
of a blackberry patch where they had
been eating lunch. They invited me
to lieadq uarters uiuler a neighboring
tree, and at the command of the hear
man, the smaller members went skir
mishing in search of the fish and pres
ently returned, bringing on switches
and vines, the spoils of the mill-pound
—a few {hh—relatives beyond doubt
of \he sardine and herring family. An
animated discussion then arose as to
the proper method of cooking them,
but as chief engineer of .the expedition,
the bear man decided that they should
be cooked in Indian style as it would
be a waste of time and rations to take
off fins and scales. With the intention
of explaining their ill luck the bear
man Insisted that they would have
emptied the pond of fish, but for
Charlie’s love of blackberries, but
Charlie advised him—if he wished to
die at home, to send for the editor of
TnEPEorLEwho was, he thought, from
bis treatment of the Sentinel, a good
doctor. Io order |to check this rising
mutiny the bear man mounted a log
and commenced a stump speech^ Jle
warned Charlie and Tom nnd Albert
of the dangers surrounding them—a
track similar to that of a bear had
been discovered that morning in a
neighboring watermelop patch* an al-
Hgrtor bad lifted op his voice that

The “rude militia” companies, accord *
ing toTswymefc twice a year at their re
spective headquarters for n day's drill
and instruction. The regiment was as.
semhled once a year, usually in the
month of May. at the connty town,
where it was mancqiveml and instructed
rather after Prvden’q svstem than either
of those prescribed bv Congress.
Preparatory and for three days im
mediately preceding the ■general muster
the officers of ail arms were assembled
and drilled together ns a light infantry
company, commanded by their field offi
cers. They were instructed in the man-
uni of arms, company meric?, regimen til

had belonged to llarry Leo’s legion to
the slim basket-hilled rapier which had
probably graced the thigh of some of our
French allies in tho revolution. The offi.
eers of the volunteer companies, m the
o’bcr hand, were generally selected for
their handsome appearance and martial
bearing, and shone with a certain ele-
-» Oj -
ganee of equipment, each in the uniform
pertaining- to his company. There was
also a sprinkling of ex-veterans of 1812,
recognizable by a certain martinet pre
cision in their deportment and a shadow
of contempt for their crude comrades,
but quick to resent any extraneous com
ment derogatory to the service. A city
dandy who undertook to ridicule the okU

these things must-be taken- into con

estimate of the value of tho services
of the last Legislature.
- When the Legislature assembled it
was inexperienced but learned very
fast. If the wisest and beet men were
left at home was that any reason why
they could not give the members the
benefit of their counsel. If they were
truly patriotic and deceraed the good
of the people, would they not have
warned the members when they were
about to make blunders ? Was it not
their religious duty ? Must a good man
whodiasatrue and genuine love for
hie people be elected to and hold an
office before he caff render aid ia time
of great peril ? We think not. ,Quite
another feeling should animate him.
