Joy to the world ! Elder Pennebacker,

I wuz part iculary pleased with his re

made the best corn whisky in this seek

ov sendin, now and then, a jug to his
Pastor at the Post Otlis, but sense his
dissatisfaesinin and eousekent estrange
ment, these delekit attenshuns, so grate
ful to one in frail health hez bin inter

Hy the Dimocrittiy, very the
Nai , hville Com - eh-11mi. There whz
f.houtin and hollerin, but he walked
about, gloomy wild sad, tilled with Ci , ziahil
fore hodin,.
Presently in his dream he approacht
the grand stand, wick wuz akepied by
the leaders: and devotid to the moosic in
the occashun. Here a most pekoolyer
site met hiz gaze. Ile notist one small
but soft-toned instrooment, holler and
very much like a Boot, evidently made
for peaceful strains, out uv wich Wade
Hampton WU% strainin and blowin tile
most feroshus and war-like strains. The
lied uv the instrootnent wuz ieymoure's
lied, and ez he lookt Closter he found it
assoomed the general appearance uv the
man. It tried hard to keep the smooth
melojus tones to with it wuz normally
adapted, but the gum-visaged Hampton,
whose wind is inexhaustible, blowd sieh
strong blasts and lingered the holes so
adroitly, that it played hiz toons and hiz
only.
Just beside him stood l;oregard a playin
' a brass instrument which wuz shaped so
like Blare ez to be him, wick instrument
was uv the trombone wicker. lioregard
had no trouble with it. It wuz, ez dis
cordent nacherally ez it rood be, and it
was splendidly adapted to the eapassity
of the player.
I give the dreem henceforth in the El
der's own words:
"Wat in thunder," sed I to a man vieli
seemed to be sort uv engineerin in the
concert, " \vat in thunder is Sevmoure
and Blare and sicli ez them furnishin
moosie for stratb Southern Dimocracy
for? Are we to be compelled to submit
to the tool uv bondholders and to Federal
soldiers and rich I Ez for one, I. will
never--"
"Don't talk like an eggre,jis ass !" sed
this man. "lleven't you any sense ?
Can't you see that Seymore and Blare
are merely the instrooments wick are
played onto, and that Boregard and
Wade Hampton are the individools who
furnish the wind and linger the holes.
Listen, how grandly 'Dixie' and the
`Bonny 8100 Flag' swells out onto the
air, and tills surroundine; space? And
see, ez Boregard shoves out the trom
bone, how it hez knockt oil' the stand all
them which from firmer attachment to
to the instromnent wuz close to it, and
how sweetly the pizen breth with is twin
blowed, tho its combined with that nv
the instrument itself, hez smothered all
them whose presence wood hey embarast
us. Miles O'Reilly it killed, and all that
Pestiferous breed of War Dimocrats like
him are lvin, overpowered with it, flat
onto their backs. They may possibly
survive, hut they are so stoopelied that
they wont git they
till after the oper
'•
toonity for hurtin us is passed.
Then;'

"And is this to be ?" asked I uv the

wuz showin it to inc.
"All this and more," returned he.
"Thus will the South regain her lost
rites. Thus will the lost coz be restored :
Elect ti(+3•mour and 'Blair. and all will be
well."
"At this pint I awoke," sed the Elder,
"feelin how unjust I bed bin--how vilely
I had sinned and how fearfully I had de
parted. I wuz agoin back on my party
on the greenback question ! Wat is
greenback to this' Wat is paying a
debt in one way or another compared to '
the extacy uv wallopin niggers, chasin
Northern men and Navin our instooshens
back again ? Wat is a mere greenback
idea compared to the luxury tty Kevin the
entire Northern Democracy in our hands
a! , in, for us to mould ez we will and do
with ez we like ? Why, I woodcut give
the luxury uv hevin a Noo Yorker on his
knees afore me ez uv old, a minit, for all
the taxes I will hey to pay for a century.
Besides," and he busted out afresh,
" if Boreegard can make Seymour pipe
Dixie, can't he also by different tingerin
make the same instroomeut play Repoo
diaten ? I shood say so. We hey em,
Parson--we hey em ! Forgive me--for
give me!"
And we embraced and wept, and took
a drink, and wept agiu for joy. Verily
my way is now pleasant and my paths is
made strate. In the exuberance uv his
joy he will keep my basket and nib• stove
--Or rather my jug and Ilask—full for a
mouth.
