"The only object ien ever made to me in this ere country, as a lepislator, was made by the wimmitt, cause I war a bache lor, and I never told yon afore why I re mained in tlie state ol number one. ,No fellow Slavs siople premeditated, and, in course, a hansom fellow like me, who all lh,i pals tieclar to be as en'.icin as a jay bird, wasn't poing to stay alone il he could l help it. 1 dm see a erector once, natrcd Sofy Mason, up the Cumberland nih into Nashville, Tennessee, and I tuk an orl'ul hankerin r.iler, and I so' into looking anx ious for matrimony, an.1 I gin to go regu lar lo meetin', and lid to tiressin treinen doiv fiiiifn d, just to see if I could win her g0 I opinion. She did pet to leiokin at me, and one dav coininj; liom meeting she was takin a look at me kind of shy, just as a i horse does al pumthm he's start at, when aiter ehampin at a distance for a w hile I sidied up lo her and blated out a few words about the sarmin she tavs yes, but cuss me el I know whether that were the right answer or not, and I'm thinkin she didn't kmw then, ntilher. Well we larled and talked a let tie all the way to her daddy's, and lhar I give hi-r the bit betid I had in me, and raised my hat as peer! and perlite as a minister, looking all Ihe lime so enti cin that I sot the ga! ticiiiblin.

"Onr farms wur just the same number ol acres, and we both owned three tit-ggrrs apiece. Jake knew tnal Sofy and her dad pi a sharp eve lor the main chance, so he thoit he'd clear m out by buying thi- ither nigger ; but I just followed suit and hcught one the (kiy after he got his, so he had no advantage in that ; he then pot a cow, and so did I, and j 'sl about then both ot our pusses pin out. This put Jake to his wits end, ami I war wondcrin, what in the yearth he would try next. We stood so, hip and thigh, lor about two weeks both on us talkin sweet to Sofy, whenever we could pit her alone. I tliort I seed lhal Jake, the sneakin cuss, was jiitlin a mite ahead of me, cause his tongue was so iley ; however, 1 didn't let on, but kept a top eye on him One Sunday mornin I war a little late to meetin and when I got thar, the fust thing I seed war Jake Simons sitlin close bang up agin Sify, in the same pew Willi her daddv : I biletl awhile with wrath, and then turned saur, I could taste myself. There Ihev were a sinjin hiins out of the same book. Je-e-e-miny. fel lers, I war so enormous mad thst the new silk handkercher round my neck lost its color! Arter meetin war out they walked linked arms a srmlin &nd lookin as pleased as a young couple at their first christnin, and Sofy, turned her cold shoulder at me so orful pinted, that 1 wilted down and pin in right straight Jake bad her and there wur no disputin it ! 1 headed toward home, with my hands as fur in my trow sers pockets as I could push 'em, swaring all the way that she was the last one who'd ever get a chance to rifle up my feelins. Passing by Jake,s plantation I looked over the fence, and lhar stood an explanation of the matter. Right facin the road, whar every one passing could tee it his con sarned cow was tied to a stake in the gar ding, with a most promisin calf along side of her!
