The Red Ear ; or, the Husking
Frolic.
I.Y T. s. AR'I'Hl R.
In rural districts,the merrymakings have
a natural heartiness about them never seen
in the cities, towns, nor villages; over
weening self respect has not come in to
fetter the motions of the body? nor to
"mother lite laugh of its free utterance.
Feeling and action are in close relationship.
You come nearer to nature, untrameleU
bv custom and unaffected by art.
A incrrvmaking par excellence is a New
England husking frolic, ihe husking
frolic at the South is a different affair
altogether. There, it is a congregation of
negroes from the various plantations near
at hand, who, while they work, make the
air vocal almost for miles around with
their rude melodies, a few of which have
peen rendered familiar to ears polite by
the "Serenaders' who have so highly
amused the public during the last two or
three years. But, at the 4 hus
king,' like the 4 quilting,' draws together
the gentle maidens and loving swains of
a neighborhood, who meet to enjoy them
selves in their own way. And such enjoy -
ment as they have, in kind and degree, is
not to be met with every day. In former
times, the 4 husking' was a wilder affair
than at present. Straight-laced conven
tionality is gradually finding its way be
yond the city limits, and binding the free
spirits of pur country maidens. 1 hey meet
oftener with the city folks, gradually falling
more ' and more into their habits as they
partake more and more of their spint;
and, when they assemble for enjoyment,
they check their impulses, restrain their
movements, and hush almost into silence

the merry laughter that seeks to leap forth 1
like the singing waters of the fountain.
No ; 4 bushings' are not what they were, i
Instead of seeing on the threshing floor a
troop of young men and maidens, strip
ping from the bright ears of grain their
leafy covering, amid laughter, music and
the mingling of sweet voices as of old,
mere labor comes in too often to perform
the service, and silently and coldly does
the work. Yet, here and there, a farmer,
who cannot forget the pleasant times when
he was young, sends forth his annual
summons after the maize harvest is gather
ed, and then comes a merrymaking for old j
and young that is enjoyed in away never i
to be forgotten.
Old Ephraim Bradley was a man of this
school. If his head grew white under the
falling snows of many winters, the grass
was fresh and green, and the flowers ever
blooming on his heart. With him, the
annual 4 husking' was never omitted. It
was, like Christmas and Thanksgiving al
most a sacred thing, half involving sin in
its omisson.
Kate Mayflower, a wild romp of a girl
from Boston—at least some in the city
regarded her as such—was spending a few
weeks in I) , when invitations came to
attend a husking party at Ephraim Brad
ley's. The old man lived some three miles
from the village. Kate had heard about
husking parties, and her young spirits
leaped up when the announcement was
made that one was to be held in the neigh
borhood, and that she was invited to be
present. It was a frolic that from all she
had heard, would just suit her tempera
ment, and she set off', when the time camtJJ
to make otic of the party, in the merriest
possible mood.
Evening had closed in on the arrival
of the party from It , who quickly
joined some score or two of young people
in the large kitchen, where lay heaped up
in the centre a huge pile of Indian corn.
4 All that to be husked V whispered Kate,
as she entered the room.
' Oh, yes ? all that and more perhaps.'
was the smiling reply. ■* Wc have come to
work you know.'
' Now, gals," said old Mr. Bradley, w ho
stood looking on as the young folks gather
ed, with bright faces, around the golden
grain. 4 now for a good old-fashioned time.
It there are not half a dozen weddings be
tween this and christmas, I shall say there
is no virtue in red ears ?'
As he ceased, down dropped, amid gay
voices and laughter, the whole company
upon the floor in all graceful and ungraceful
positions, in a circle around the pile of
corn. Kate alone remained standing, for
the movement was so sudden that she
could not act with it.
4 Here's room fpr you, Kate,* cried one
of the girls who had come with her, ma
king a place by her side? and down sank
Kate, feeling for the litsi time, a little awk
ward and confused. Beside her was a
stout, rough, country youth w hose face
was all merriment, and whose eves were
dancing with anticipated pleasure. The
city girl eyed his rough brown hands,
coarse garments, and unpolished face, with
a slight feeling of repulsion, and drew a
little from him towards her friend.
4 Oh, plenty of room, Miss! Plenty of
room,' said he, turning broadly around,
and addressing her with a familiar leer.
4 The tighter we fit in, the better. Lav
the brands close if you want a good fire.'
Kate could not help laughing at this, As
she laughed he added—
-4 All free and fcasy here.' lie had
grasped an ear of corn. 4 A red ear, by
jingo !' suddenly burst from his lips, in a
tone of triumph ; and, as he spoke, he
sprang towards, or rather upon Kate, with
the grace of a young bear, and kissed her
with a smack* that might have been
heard a dozen rooms off. Ere she had
time to recover from the surprise, and, it
must be admitted, indignation, occasioned
by this unexpected assault upon her lips,
the hero of the first 4 red ear' was half
around the circle of struggling girls, kissing
both right and left with a skill and hearti
ness that awoke shouts of applause from
young Tellers,' who envied his good for
tune,
That was a phase of life to Kate. She
had heard of kissing as an amusement'
j among young folks, and had often thought
j that the custom was too good to have be
come obsolete ; but a particular view, and
a personal participation like this, was a
thing that her imagination had, in none of
its vagaries, conceived. An old fashioned,
straight-backed, flag-bottomed chair stood
near, and, unwilling to trust heteelf again
upon the floor, Kate drew that Into the
I circle, and seated herself close to the pile
of corn just as the young man had com
pleted his task of kissing every one in the
room,
4 First rate, that J' said he, smacking
his lips as he threw himself at her feet,
, Wasn't I lucky V
Kate's indignation had, by this time, all
melted away under a lively sense of the
i ludicrous, and she could not help laughing
j with the merriest. Soon another red ear
was announced, and then the kissing com
menced again. Such struggling, wrestling,
screaming, and laughing, Kate had never
heard nor seen. The young man who
held the prize had all the nerve "required
fo go through with his part, as Kate clear-

ly proved when it came to her turn to re
ceive a salute. The struggle was long and
well sustained on the part of the maiden ;
but her fate was to be kissed, bv a rough
young countryman whom she had never
met before. The deed was done, and
then the blushing, panting girl, was led
back in triumph to the room, from'which
she had escaped.
Red ears were in plenty that evening.
It was shrewdly guessed that every voung
man had come with at least two in his
pockets, for all the girls avowed that nev
er before had farmer Bradley's field of
corn produced so many. As for Kate, she
was kissed and kissed, until—as she alle
ged to her friend—making a virtue of ne
cessity, she submitted with the kindliest 1
grace imaginable; and, if the truth must be
told enjoyed the frolic with as lively a zest
as any one present.
At length the great pile of corn disap
peared, and the company arranged them
selves for dancing; but they had hardly
been on the floor half an hour, when sup
per was announced—and such a supper as
that was! No pyramids of ice-cream or
candied oranges. No mock nor real turtle :
nor oysters in a dozen styles. Turkies
there were, but not scientifically 4 boned.'
No, there were none of the fashionable
city delicacies; but, instead, a 4 gigantic
round of beef in the centre of the table
was flanked on either side with vegetables.
A bouncing junk of corned beef was atone
end, and a bitr chicken pie at the other.
An Indian pudding, of ample dimensions,
stood forth between the middle and end
of the end dishes, and a giant pof of beans
loomed up on the oilier side ; while pump
kin pies, apple sauce, and a host of other
4 fixings' filled up the spaces.'
This was the bill of fare for the evening,
and our city belle looked on with new sur
prise, as she saw the articles disappearing
one after another, like frost work on win
dow panes at sunrise. If the good wife
did not say on litis, as was said on a sim
ilar occasion, 4 Lay hold, and help your
selves, gals—make a long arm ; and let
the men folks take keer of themselves. It
any on you likes turnips squat and buttered,
sqxtut and butter 'em to suit yourselves'—
at least as hearty and primitive an imita
tion to go to work on the good things was
extended, and no one could complain that
it was not acted upon. What followed is
best given in the language of one who has
already described a similar scene ;
4 i'he guests seemed to do ample justice
to the viands ; mirth and festivity reigned
around the board. Jokes, witticisms, and
flashes of fun would occasionally 4 set the
table in a roar.' All appeared determined
to enjoy themselves at the 4 top of their
bent.'
4 Soon as the supper wr.s over, all the
girls lent a hand, and the table was cleared
away in a jiffy. Blindinan's buff was
then introduced ; the company now was
uproarious ! Dancing was the next con
sideration. Amos Bunker screwed up his
viol, rosined the bow, and 4 did up' the toe
and heel-inspiring notes of Fisher's Horn
pipe ; whilst a number of the party, who
were somewhat skilled in the Terpsicho
rean art, put in the 4 donble-shullle riga
doon.' Presently the lookers on caught
the enthusiasm, and the whole company,
old and young, adepts and novices, took
the floor and did their utmost:
'Tvas right and laft, and down ouUide, six round and
buck to back ;
l[arutii-xcarum, heller-skelter, bump together, whack.
' And fhus was the husking kept up till
the old clock, which stood in one corner
of the kitchen, beat out twelve ; then broke
up this jolly gathering.'
So it was at old farmer Bradley's.
\V lien Kate went back to Boston, she was
free to owa that she had enjoyed a new
kind of merrymaking, and avowed her
purpose to Lq at old Ephraim Bradley's
when the next 4 husking' came off.
Romance in Real Life.
The facts which follow are furnished us
by a reliable corre.-.pondent, and contain
sufficient of the 4 raw material' for a good
novel. We are assured by the narrator
that the statements are literally ported;.
Some sixteen years siace, a gentleman
in New York city contrived for awhile
to pay his addresses to a beautiful girl
there, the daughter of a worthy, but obsti
nate Pearl street merchant, who was oppo
sed to the young man's visiting his daugh?
ter. lie persisted in his endeavtra to win
the young lady, and at last was forbidden
to eqter the old man's house.
Still the lovers continued to meet, occa
sionally, afterward—and at the expiration
of some six months, matters having b*en
previously so arranged—the girl consented
to marry the youth who loved her, and l'ot
j whom, at any time he would have perilled
his life, so deeply rooted \yas his affection
j for her. Re did not seek her fortune, for
he was in the enjoyment of a handsome
salary as principal book-keeper in an exten
sive jobbing house, and his prospects, pe
i cuniarily, were very fair. But the parents
were obdurate, and he was driven from
the house.
As we have hinted, at the end of half a
twelve month, they agreed to be married,
and all the requisite arrangements were
made, the evening was fixed upon, even
the chaplain had been engaged —but on the
morning of the day proposed secretly fo r
the nuptials, the whole plan was discovered,
and the match was broken off, perempto
ry—by the absolute authority of the pa
rents.
I ime passed on. The daughter wasscnt
to a distant part of the country for awhile—
the young man was disappointed and dis
heartened—and left New York for the
west, where he remained two years. Mean
time, a person to suite the tastes of the
parents turned up—a man of considerable !
means, but old enough to be the young
girl s father—and a match was arranged, I
after long persuasion, between Emma and
this man, and she wedded him at last.
Three years subsequently, the young j
man found himself in New England, where
he settled and took a wife, also—finding it
4 not good to dwell alone'—and soinc doz
en years or more passed away with their
thousand and one changes of place, of cir
cumstance and fortune. From the time of
their separation, the original lovers had nev
er met.
'l'he young man became the father of lit
tle ones, and then lost two of these ; which
bereavement was soon after followed hy
the death of his wife. Time flew by—lie
had been a widower for some years, and
his oldest daughter had got to be quite a
Miss. lie had been fortunate in his busi
ness, and resided a few miles out of the
city, in a sweet 4 little cottage unclouded
by sorrow,' for the day ol his sorrow had
long since gone by ; and he endeavored
to be contented and happy, surrounded as
he was by the comforts of life, and in the
enjoyment of the society of his dear little
daughter.
One day last month he was returning
home in the afternoon, and upon entering
the cars found them full. He sought a
seat and found one occupied by a lady
about thirty years of age—beside whom
he set down, and the cars soon moved out
ol the depot. As they emerged into the
light, he suddenly turned to the lady and
exclaimed—
"Mad—am! Emma! Is this i/ou?'
He did'nt know exactly what he said,
but it was a fact that he was on the seat
with the girl to whom he had once been
engaged to be married, whom he had real
ly loved, and whom ho had never seen
from the day of their cruel separation,
A mutual explanation quickly succeed
ed. Our widowed friend ascertained that
his former intended was on her way to the
North upon a visit to her friends. That
she had been married about eleven years,
had but one child living, and her husband
had been dead over two years. He point
ed to his pretty cottage, as the cars passed
on—but did not leave the train !
He proceeded forward, renewed his ac
quaintance. found the ladv her own mis
tress, proposed to Iter again—for he believ
ed her quite as lovely as ever—and won
her sure, this time! And we record the
fact with no ordinary degree of pleasure
that within three weeks the lovers were ac
tully united together in marriage, iu the
city of Boston. Long may they live to
enjoy their wealth, and the happiness
which we know must follow their union.
