Ely 61obt. HUNTINGDON, PA Sam Lawson on Courtin'. BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE "I'member I used to lead to singin" in them days, and Miry she used to sing counter so we sot putty near to gether in the singer's seats; and I used to think Sunday mornin's when she como to meotin' in her white dress and her red cheeks and her bonnet all tipped off with layloek that twas for all the world jest like a June sunrise to have her como into the singer's seats. Them was the days that I didn't improve my privileges, boys," said Sam, sighing deeply. "There was times that of I'd a spoke, there's no knowin' what mighn't a happened, 'cause you see boys, I was better lookin' in them days than I be now. Now you mind, boys, when you grow up, of you get to waitin' on a nice gal, and you're 'most a mind to speak up to her, don't you go and put it off, 'cause of you do, you may live to repent it. "Wall, you see, from the time that Bill Elderkin come and took the acad emy, I could see plain enough that it was time for me to hang up my fiddle. Bill he used to set in the singer's seats, too, and ho would' have it that ho sung tenor. He no more sung tenor than a skunk blackbird, but ho made b'lievo he did, jest to sit next to Miry in the singer's, and then they used to be a writen' backward and foriard to each other till they toro out all the leaves of the hymn•books, an' the sing in' books besides. Wal, I never thought that the houge of the Lord was 'jest the place to go coutin' an' I used to get eon sid'able shocked at the way things • • • - went 'on atween 'em. Why, they'd be - e, Writin all sermon time; an' I've seen him a lookin' at her all through thO'lolig Prayer in a way :that wa'n't right, considerin' they was both pro fessors of religion. But then the fact was, old Black Hose John was to blame for it 'cause he never let 'em have no chance at home, Ye see, old Black Hess was sot agin Elderking 'cause he was poor. You see his mother, the old Widdah Elderkin, she was jest, the poorest peakedest old body over to Sherburne, and wont out to day's work, and Bill Elderkin! he was all for books and !twain', and old Black Hess. John he thought it was just shiftlessness; but'Miry she thought he was a genius, an' she got it sot in her mind that be was goin' to be Presi dent o' the 'United States, or some sieh. • "Wal old Black Hess he wa'n't none too polite to Miry's beaux in gineral, but when Elderkin came to see her ho was swirlier than a saw; he hadn't a good word for him noways; an' he'd rake up the fire right afore his face and eyed, and rattle about fastening up'tho' windows, and tramp up to bed and call 'down the chamber-stairs to Miry to go to bed, an' was a sort o' aggravatin every way. "Wal, of folks want to get a gal set on havia' a man, that's the way to go to work. Miry bad a consid'able stiff will of her own, and of she didn't care about Tom Beacon before, she hated him now; and of she liked Bill Elder kin before, she was clean gone over to him now; so ho took to goin' to Wednesday evening lectures, and the Friday evenin' prayermeetins', and the singin'.school, jest as regular as a clock, and so did he; and afterwards they always walked home the longest way. Fathers may jest as well let their gals be courted in the house Pea ceable, 'cause if they can't be courted there, they'll find places where they can be; it's jest human natur'.—Atlan tie Monthly. WALK ON !-A travelor ; bound to a certain village, passing by Aesop's, thus addressed him : "Can you tell mo how long it -wi take mo to reach B—?" "Walk on." was the laconic reply. The traveler, not comprehending this answer, repeated his question.— Again the reply was: "Walk on." Disgusted with his manner the tray der did walk on, when suddenly Ao sop exclaimed : "You will reach B---- in two hours." "And pray," retaliated the wander or, "why did you not tell me before?" "How could I tell you before I had seen'Your rate of walking ?" returned Aesop. Little and Nothing of it. Old Johnny McGill resided, during the war, in East Tennessee. Guerril las, representing both parties, kept it ' BO warn in that forsaken region that it was dangerous to belong to either side. McGill had, in trying to ride both,horses, gotten several boot jack legs frOm first the rebels and then the Yankees. As all guerillas dressed alike, ho made several' mistakes in trying to pass for either Union or Southern, as,he thought would suit the crowd. At last he was overtaken by a party whose politics he couldn't oven gess at, and the following dist logue enSued: "Sir, aro you a Union man ?" "No air," responded McGill, "Aro you a rebel then ?" "NO Sir, I am not, a rebel either." "Thenwhat in the devil's:name, aro you?" roared the captain. "Well, sir," hesitated McGill,"to tell the real truth, ram nothing and but d—d littlo of that !"
