A tall, raw-boned, slab-sided Yankee, and no illistike, came up and' looked on. For awhile he said nothing, till a fellow in a green Jacket, the leader of the party, a con eeited broth of a boy, began to try his wit on Jonathan. " You can't conwc thia," said hte, as he hurled a stone away out into the river "Maybe not," said Jonathan; ''but up in our coultry we've a puty big river consitl erin', and t'other day I hove a man clear across it, and he came down fair and( s<quare on the other side of the river. ."
