a i,i;i:iv i.ovi:it la early life so early tint I cannot remember the removal my fatlier "pulled up stakes," mid carrying with him the household goods, went from Bourbon county, Kentucky, where I was born, to Ohio. Notwithstanding a rough-and-tumble struggle with the world, he bad a hard time to get on, owning to a numerous and rapidly in creasing f.mily. Well, family mat ters bad not much improved when I had reached my Uiriteenth or four teenth year. At this time there lived in the neighborhood a young man named ,kiun?r. Hohad inherited a well stock ed farm, was good looking, and made a strong profession of religion. This latter qualification caused him to find peculiar favor in the eyes of my fath er, who always was blinded by pro fessions of extra piety. This fellow had a strong "hanker ing" after one of my sisters, who was a very pretty girl." To her he was particularly distaseful. She seemed always excessively annoyed at, his presence. Yet ho was ever at her side. She dared not dismiss him en tirely, for fear of tho paternal, anger. Things went on in this way for a year or two, and as I partook largely of my sister's hatred to him, I resolved to get rid of him in some way. I cast about for a plftD for some time, but nothing occurred which gavo me the slightest hope of being successful. At last, returning homo oue summer night from mill, I found the family at their nightly devotions. Passing by the windows of the room in which they were assembled, I saw that Skinner wa9 thcro, and pretty soon discovered that he was nodding, and finally his head dropped. Now was my opportu nity. I stole slyly into the "hall, and reaching the hall door, which was slightly ajar, and close by which Skin ner was, "on bended knee,' I reached in and quickly pulling his chair from under him, he rolled heavily, as a sound sleeper would, upon the floor. The noise alarmed all. The old gen- neuiau eioppeu iq wie miosi or. Ills al-1 most interminable prayer, and saw the position of Skinner. All the family laughed outright; even my mother Buiiled. Skinner tried to pick himself' np as rapidly as possible, but he touched the old man upon his tenderest point. It was evident, from his rubbing his eyes, that he had slept under the old gen tleman's ministrations; and had not my father a reputation far and wide for the fervency and strength of his ministrations, and was not Skinner his professing brother. It was too much. Slowly, yet most dignifiedly did the old man approach him. "Be gone, hypocrite!" ho cried in thunder tones. "Never enter my house again." Skinner was thunder struck. He felt that he could ' make no apology which would not add to the insult. He had no suspicion of tho exterior force which had so suddenly aided him to fall. He at once found his hat, took up his line of match, and com pletely crestfallen, passed bv me as I stood grinning in the shadow of the porcn. At a suitable time I entered, got uiy supper, aca was told by my broth er in hurried whispers what had hap pened. I then stole off to bed. affect ing ignorance and laughing most ueuruiy, as i ensconced myself in the sheets, at the complete success of my JJ1UII. . . , "How are you, count?" said a noted wag to a spruce-looking specimen of me genus snob.
