Yii Nashville, many years ngo there resided a gentleman ofgna ho*| i alhy, large fortune, und, tl.o gii uneducated possessed of hard knot sense. Colonel W. had been elected ' to the legislature, and had also beeu ty?iXffit "of tee county court. His; elevation, however, had made UUu somewhat pompous, and he becnuVfc very fond of using big words. On his farm he had a large, mischievous ox, called "Big Brititlle," which frequ ently broke down, his neighbor's fence, nud committed other depreda tion* much to the Colonel's annoy ance'. 'One m\Vriiiiig, after breakfast, in presence of some gentlemen who bad staid with him over night, and wft'rt were now on their way to town, lietyiHed his overseer and said to him: "Mr. Allen, I desire you to impound "Big Briri'dla" in ordiVrth?t 1 may hear no more animadversions of his eternal depredations." .. j.. Allen bowed and walked off, sore'v puzzled to know what the Colonel meant. So. after Colonel W. left for town, he went to his wife and asked her what Colonel W. meant by telling him to "impound" the ox. "Why," said she, "the Colonel means to tell you to put him in a pen." Allen left to perform the feat, for it was no inconsiderable one, as the animal was very wild nud vicious, and after a great deal of trouble nud vexation, he succeeded. "Well," said he, wiping the per spiration from ht% brow and solilo quizing, "this is Im^ttM'dlBg ,is it? Now I'm dead sure, the old Colonel will ask me if I have impounded Big Biindlc, and I'll bet I'll puzzle him as bad as he did me." The next day the Colonel gave a dinner party, and as he was not the least aristocratic, Allen, the overseer, sat down with t.i^e company. A her the second or third glass was dis cussed the Colonel turned to the overseer and said: I "Kb, Mr. Allen did you impound I Big Briudle. sir?" ! 'A'll.'n s-tra;gl.t?:icd himself, nud I looking around the company, said: . . i*Y?w, 1 did, hut, Old Briudle pau scended the impnniicl of the impound and scatterlophisticated all over the equanimty of the forest." Tito company luir.st into an immod ernte lit of laughter, while the Colo nel's faco reddened with discom?turc. "What do you mean by that, sir?" said he. "Why I mean, Colonel," said Allen, "that old ?rineil?, being prognosti cated with the idea of the eltohiry, ripped and tu red, snorted and pawed dirt,'jumped tliii fence, tuck to the woods, and would not be impounded no how." This was too much. The company roared again, in which the Colonel was forced to join, and in tile midst of the laughter, Allen left the table, saying to himself as he went, "reckon the Coiouol won't ask ihr to impound any more oxen."
