Mr
I tisofraggous.
The Tin Pedler andsleepy David.
Yankee innono. the Ntaffitr.",
ar.A, Isom CAROLINIAN.
,
The Yankees, as I said before, are
apt to be too mite for us in every. thing
, except horse flesh, and,sometimes in
that... It was this day a year ago, and
•at this very spot, that I entered my
• horse' Southron, for a purse of two
thousand dollars. He bad won a like
sitto the year before, with all ease. in
__short he was the best horse at that time
in all Carolina. There 'were, to be
sure, two other horses, and very fine
octet too, entered against him, bin-they
• were no touch to Southron, and I. was
as sore of winning as I am of sifting
-,lhere at thie,rooment, when who should
come along but a yankee Avith a tin cart?
He had the shabbiest, worst looking.
!terse you ever sat eyes on. He was a
lean,, slab-sided. crook-legged, rough
hatred, milk and Molasses colored son
of a gun as ever went on four legs. He
stood all the time as if he was asleep--
in fact, his oUrn called him Sleep's Da
vid. In short, sir, he was such a
-,horse as would not have brought twen
ty dollars.
It was near the hour of starting,
when the pedler, whose exterior cor
responded marvellously with that of
his horse, and who said his name was
' Zodac Baker, to the astonishment of
all, intimated a wish to - enter his horse
along with the rest. r•-;'
Your. horse !" excliimed
I--
what, that sleepy- looking critter
there? You'd better enter him:(or the
'turkey buzzards."
Not's you know on, Alistei," re
turned the Yankee, with souse show of
spirit.. To be sure the critter looks
rather Sleepy as he: stands,. and on that
account I call him Sleepy David ; but
he's a jo-ftred smart horse for all that.
•He's like's singed cat, a darned i sight
better them he looks. I should like
tarnatton well to try him agin' loafs of
- your South Carolina horses. s- To be
sure I didn't corneal( the way from
home on purpose, but as I was coming
out this way with a load of tin ,and oth
er notions, I thought I might time in
so as to kill two birds with one stone—
for, thinks Ito myself, if I cah win the
purse, and peddle off my notions at the
same time. I shall makea plaguy good
speck. But .I had to hurry on like the
nation. to get here in season—that's
one reason my horse looks so kind of
shabby and out of kilter this morning."
But for all that he'll perform like
days' work I tell you. •
'Supposing he had no idea of running,
his horse, and 'that all he had said was
merely TO gratify hie propensity for
talking, I bade him to begone ; and not
troublemewith his Yankee palaver.
. 4 . Why, Mister," said he, this is a
free . ,country, and a man has a right to
talk, or letit alone, jest as he can afford.
Now I've taken a good deal of pains to
get here this mornieg, in order to run
Sleepy David agin' some of your
Southern horses. I aint a jolting, lam
in airnesi. 1 understand there is a
purse of two thousand dollars, and I
should like amazingly to pick- it up."
You talk opicking up a purse of
two thouiand dollars with that bit of
cariion of 'yours l /way with you, and
_don't trouble us any further."
!. Well, if I can't run, then I suppose
I can't-4in it's darned hard any how
for a man to take so inuchp pains as. I
have to come to the races, and" then:
can't be allowed to run after all." ,
1 .. It's too late now—by the rules of
the course the horse should have been
entered yesterday ; however, if you'll
plank the entrance money, perhaps you
may get in yet."
I said this by way of getting rid of
the fellow, having no idea he could
command a fourth part of the sum re
quired.
" How much might be entrance
money !" drawing out a purse contain
ing, a few pence in coppers. "If it
aint more than a quarter of a dol
lar co so, I'll plank
_on the nail."
"It's two hundred dollars I"
" Two hundred dollars V' exclaimed
the Yankee; " by gauly, what a price!
why they axed • m only a quarter of a
dollar_tO see the elhpliant and the whole
caravan in New York, Two hundred
dollars,! why you must be joking now.
Bliss me ! my whole load of tin ware,
Koss, wagon, and all. wouldn't fetch
that at Miliken's auction. But Mister
don't you spose I could get in for ten
dollars."
Nothing short of of two hundred ;
and that must be paid in the short space
of five. minutes." . •
We now thoight we has fairly got
rid of the fellow ; but he returned to
.the charge, and . aaked if fifty dollars
Wouldn't do. then seventy-five, then a
hundredi - ' and finding • he could not
•
makekbargain forless than tbe regular
sum, he' engaged to g • ive it, prOvided
he could find any oneito lOan hint the
money ; for which he offered to pawn
his wagon load of notions and Sleepy
David to boot. He; asked - one, then
another to accommodate with the
loan, declaring that as soon as ever he ,
took_ the purse. the money should be
returned, and he would give -a dozen
an Whistles into ,the • bargain. - Hei
however. got '" More kicks than Cop. ,
'=dim," until some wag, who had plenty
of cash, and liked to sCe..the sport go
an, lent him the Aw 9 hundred.- dollars
Out ofsheer'malice; though . , as it af
terwards :turned out, the. Yankee
,hid
money enough abouthim; and Was
ly playing the possum all the while. ,
His next object was to burraw a sad
dle. . Here heves also accommodated;
and _then taking SleepY. David from his
tin cart: he scrambled upon his back,
and then took his station on, Ihe course:
You never saw a fellow, Sit on a. horse
so awkwardly in all your life. Every
body said he weuld fall ; before , be:got , a
hundred yargs; and some out of ..com
passion urged him to withdraw.
"Not by a tarnal sight?' exclaimed
he, 4. why, do you think I'm such a
tarnal fool alto par two hundred dol
lars, and then not run arter all ?"
Others, who wanted to see the sport,
though it should cost some_ broken
bones,', "encouraged him to proceed.=
saying, as they laughed , aloud, that
they had no doubt he would carry off
the purse. • ° -
''s. That's what I meanto . do." ex
claimed he,--. , I hasn't come here for
nothing, I can tell you, wake up, Sleepy
David, and look about you—you must
hive your eyes open to-day. It's no
time to be snoczin' when there's mon
ey at stake." ' -
The - horse, as if he understood what
his,master was saying, opened his eyes,
pricked up his ears, and actually litlow
ed some signs of life.
The. signal was given to start. Away
sprang the other Southern hbrses, leav
ing Sleepy David far in the rear, and
the pedler verging from side. to side
as if he was just ready to fall off. The
horse went pawing along with his tail
clinging close to his• haunches, and his
nose stuck out straight before him ; and
you never beheld so queer a figure cut
by any man and horse as this singular
pair made.'
But they improved as they proceed
ed—the pedler sat more jockey-like,
and - the horse evidently gained on the
others.. But it would not do. He
came in at least half al mile behind
Southron, and a little less behind the
others.
It was now thought the Yatike had
got enough of the race, and would
withdraw before the next heat. Con
trary to all expectations however, he
persevered, and even offered to bet a
thousand dollars on the issue of the, race.
The fellow's a fool," said one.
44 He don't know which side his
bread is buttered," said .another, i‘ or
else he woludn't risk any more money
on so desperate a stake. "
He's safe enough: there," said a
third, for he has no money to risk."
Here, however, every body was
mistaken again, for the pedler hauled
out hn ofd greasy pocket=book and
planked the thousand dollars; it was
covered of course. But I confess I
now began to be staggered ; and to sus
pect the Yaukee was after all more
knave than fobl. - I had no fears, how
ever for the purse. Southron was not
ta horse to be distanced in one day; and
espeuialiy by such a miserable looking
animal as Sleepy David.
The second heat was now commenc
ed—and, if I had before felt Com&
dent in the entire superiority of my
noble horse Southron, that confidence
was strengthened, as I again saw f ilial
coming in ahead of the rest. I con
sidered the rfrse now as. my own
property. In imagination I. had grasp
ed' it, and was about putting it . safely in
my pocket, when—lo and behold! the
pedler's horse, whichAvas behind all
the rest, suddenly shot forward, as if
the deil kicked him on end, and stretch
ing his neck like a crane, won the heat
by a head. • -
Eveiy body was astonished. - "That
horse must be old Scratch himself,"
said one. 4 .: At least, he has an evil
genius to back him," said a third,—
" I was sure he would play you some
Yankee trick before he got through."
Such were the observations that pass=
ed from mouth to mouth.
The Yankee in in, the mean time,
offered to plank anotherislooo ; but
RobodyliVould take the bet. And it
was well they didn't; for at the third
hdat'Sleepy David not only distanced
every horse, but even came in full
quarter of a milli ahead of Southron
himself.
There, by gauly !" said , the Yan
kee as he dismounted,- " 'take that
are leetle purse if yoti pleas and the
tother cool thousand ! I knew well
enough_ that poor Southron lanes
couldn't hold a candle to S`'leep s y David.

" Is there any person here that does

Let me go up," said I, as, pussing
the woman witn a shudder, I ascended
the stairs.
"Yon can keep on up,to the garret,"
she screamed'after me—and so I did;
and there 1 sat/ a sight of which I,
the child of affluence, had never dream
ed ! The lady had thrown offher 'hat,
and was kneeling by the aide of a poor
low bed. Her hair had fallen over her
shoulders—she sobbed not—but seem
ed motionless, her face buried in the
covering of the wretched, miserable
bed, whereon lay her husband. He
was sleeping. I looked upon his high,
pale forehead, around wh ich , clung mas
ses of damp, brown hair—it was knit,
and the pale hand ' clenched . the bed;
clothes—words broke from his lips—
" I cannot pay you now," I heard him
say, poor fellow ! I could , bear it no
longer, and knocked gently on the
door. The lady raised heiheacl, threw
back her long black ;hair, and gazed
'mildly upon me. Itj was no time for
ceremonies—sicknessi, sorrow, t,
and perhaps starvanon, were before
me—" I cup to look for a person to

I kept my word. In a few days she
told me all—of days of happines in the
sunny West Indian Isle—her child
hood's home ; of the• death of her fath

brother-in-law—how she left that home,
hoping to find a brother in America—
