"Tuner always has been a Josh in the Pil'sherry .

so far as I am concerned," said the - deacon to his wife
'on the morning ofthe christeninj, in answer to an
attempt made by her to dissuade, 'him from giving
'their only son that plain, olthfashiOned name.

squire's one evening, he remarked that '" Sue Pettin•
gin was a nice lookite gal . ," she replied, ”-You 'are
right, nyaon;- . Susan is not only nice lookin,' -- but a
tidy, smart gar for biz'ncss. As was sayin' to
the deacon yesterday s any voung.man that gilts her
fora wife will get a2forten, and no miafikey"
nil killin'perlitn to me every time we meet;
and Pshotildn't - be afraid- to pop the question .any
day, ilk:Wasn't for that cussed Si Lowery.",
"Tt4,- tut, dothua, don't indulge.•in them horrid
imprecations agnin-zny pvcente ' You knOw the
deacon haaofinn.toldTynit you'd never'prospor Vhtil
leftci
you trate sinful practice; then,the very looks
of.the thing - Land, a deacon's sop, too! taay SoSh,
if you will persist in it, just go off out of sight, and
hearin` of everybody, and Swear all.by yourself."
. .
"But, mo6ibr, it makes me so confounded mad
every time I look.ln at the squire's} to see that con
ceited puppy stuck up in the pailor, that I ain't help
it. Ile .sat there to-night,- looking as dignified and
conimantiing as though he was emPeror, of the uui
verse ; l and he straightened:up when she gave me a
chair beside him ; el if he waiafraid my cotton frock.
.and over-a11:4. would site his broadcloth. Bow I
would like to have pitched him through the - sr/hire's
big glasi window I" • - •
"And how did Sue appear F , '• •
"She Was divided in her attentions,• and I had
-nothin' to-find fault with, except-her lettin? that
sneakin' pupPy Inside the door."' . ,
• "Well, Josh," said Ifni . .PH!sherry, laying down.
.the yarn stocking she wasltnitting,- and adjusting her
;spectacles, " if,you let Si Lowery, IN any other feller
is Wimbleton,•run you off the track at the squire's
I'll . never own you for a Ill!sherry akin, never.
There's nbthin' made by- dillykallyia'along; just
bring'things right up to the scratch , and - I reckon,
You'll come out right. Now - your father, when he
came to'see me, thought the same as I do. The ides
of courtin' a year just for the • sake of larnin' some
thin' of each other's e.haracter, is all nonsense; just
as if a body didn't strive to keep all the unfavorable
Winta hid from their' lovierse and prink up, and put
their best:foot forward if they expected a beau. I
tell youvrosh, you don't know-nethhe about a gal till
after you're married."
"That's a tact, Said Josh, suspending
his whlttling operations fora moment; "one is In
danger of marryii'lg a cotton -bag now-ti-dayi."
