How Uncle Abe, of Alabama* Recovered his Pullet. 'De circumventions and de circum ambertations of dis here prisint gener ation am pas my comprehensions,' ex claimed old Abe as he entered his cab in and held up for inspection a chicken partly denuded of its feathers. •Call dem wurds ober agin, daddie,' said young Jake, throwing his hand behind his ear as if very suddenly af flicted with deafness. 'Whar's yer larning, boy ?' testily replied the old man. 'You'se dun bin tending dat skule dese pas two years and it pears likejas how you aint larnt nuting but ill manners,you young var mint.' 'WoU, dad,* cooly retorted the youngster, 'I is de brag scholar of dat skule, but it strikes me dat dem jaw mashers what you just mentioned aint no whar in my dicturnary, but you was eddicated long afoie I was born and dem words may be fus-class spres sions, so taint no use to take a feller up so shortlike.' 'Hole yer tongue, Jake,' commanded old Rachel, 'and let your daddie tell us how he dun get 'session of dat pul let what dun been gone dese hull two days.' 'Wall,' began the old man, 'I hab my 'spicions 'bout dis here chicken f but I aint say much. I jis' lie low and watch de case. Tinks I, Brudder Dick bin a powerful ban' on de steal ing question, and I don't see as how his 'ligion dun prove him any, so I jis* keep my eye on his motions. Jis' now, as I was passing his house, I hear a mighty singing and patting ob de feet, like Brudder Dick feel mon strous happy. Den I peeps fro' de crack and dar, bress God, I seed de old sinner jes' a taring de feders out en dat pullet Den I walked back a few steps and sot up a singing too ; and when I gets to his house I hollers out: 'Brudder Dick, is you dar ?' 'Den he answers up, skeert-like, 'ls'e here, Brudder Abe. What's yer pledger f 9 'I 'se cuming in to sit awhile,' says I, and I shuffles about like dere is a powerful site o' mud on my feet, kase I was boun' fer' to hab a leetle fun, and I wanted to gib de old man time to hide de pullet. 'When I goes in, Brudder Dick was jes'a shoven a basket of fedders under de bed. 'Hab a cheer, brudder,' says he, powerful perlite, 'l'se sure glad fur to see yer. Bring dat cheer begh er to de fiah.' 'Den we talks and talks,and while I was looking aroun' I sees a piece ob. Dat pullet a sticking outer his pocket.' 'Brudder Dick,' says/, 'dus you carry a rabit foot for good luck?' And I gin a grab fur de chicken; but no,bress de Lord,de old man too peart fur me and he holler out : 'Don't tech my rabbit foot, kase you spile all myluck !' ' 'Dat's de truff ,' says /; 'den I sot to thinking how I was gwine to git dat pullet outen dat pocket. 'Arter awhile says /; 'Brudder Dick, Pse dun loose dat fine Plymoth Rock pullet what I sot so much store by.' . r ' 'You ain't tell me so he,' he 'plies, innercent like as a dove; ,how dat dun happen, brudder V '/can't in no wise tell,' says I, 'but I bress de niggah what eats dat chick en, kase I dun put de ebil spell on it, and it is conjured clar to de backbone. I is shure seen dat pullet afore now stan' on its head and walk on its tail.' 'You ain't say so,' he 'claims, and his eyes loo£ li£e dey wus gwine to pop outen his head, an / see him hitch bacfc his coat li£e he was s&eCrt fiirdepoc&et to touch him. Tin£s /, old man, you'se all right now, and I tells him goad night and leabs. 'Den I hides ahind a tree fur to see what he gwine fur to do next,' and bimeby he cums to de door and peep out, he ain't seen nobody and he gin a run and flung de chic&en inter my yard. Den I hear him say to hisself : 'lf dat dere chicken is conjur ed lis dun fixed up old Abe's dog, /rase Cash is boun' fur to eat it afore mornin.' Den he slips in de house and / gits to dat pullet in a hurry,and here it is now ready fur de cooking, old 'oman. Ha ! ha 1 ha !' laughed the negro, '/ is cunning as a coon ; it is hard to £otch up wid dis niggah.' 'You're right dar,' acquiesced his wife, while young Jake, with a know ing grin, quielty as/red; 'Daddie, ain't dis here de little speckled chick en you made me run down and Zrotch dat Sunday Miss Amy and de boss dun been go to church ? 'Hole your tongue,you meddlesome young rascal, you is so chock full of < bigotness and circumwentions you is 1 mighty nigh unsportable. Dese here children what am dun brung up ' since slabery times is gotten clar out en my comperhension' '/ is Zotch up wid de facts of dis ting, mattered old Dick, who had slipped in the yard to see what effect the conjured pullet would have on | dash. He hearing the old man talk- < i ing, had peeped trhough the cracfc and seen how cunningly ho had been cheated out of his chicken supper.

Professor Proctor says the earth . is gradually cooling off, very much as the enthusiasm for Blaine is beginning to loose some of its latent heat. The professor says that in about 15,000,000 years every trace of water will have disappeared from the surface of the earth. 1 "It is ground-hog day again, I see," remarked the red-headed boarder, casting his eye over the breakfast ta ble.

JOHN BULL'S J SitsToaicSm 5 FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AMD ALL MALARIAL DISEASES. The proprietor of this celebrated medi cine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER MANENT cure of Agne and Pever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long stand -0 ing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the direc tions are etrietly followed and carried out. In a great many oases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fiuui lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, ana in every case moro certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been cheeked, more especially 0 in difficult and long-standing cases. Usu ally this medicine will not require any aid ® to keep the bowels in good order. Should :l the patient, however, require a cathartis 9 medicine, after having taken three or four 11 doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL*! VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suf ficient. BULL'S 3ARSAPABXLLA is the old and reliable remedy for impurities of the blood and Scrofulous affections—the King of Blood Purifiers. DR. JOHN BULL'S VEGETABLE WORM DESTROYER is prepared in the form of candy drops, attractive to the light and pleasant to the taste. DR.
