One of Tom Corwin’s Tricks.
Corwin carried his love of fun into every
department of life. In the private circle,
where he knew every person, and where he
unbosomed himself fully, he was the most
delightful and genial conversationalist 1 ever
listened to. Ido not know that he now, as
age and infirmity are creeping on, indulges
this proclivity tp humor so much as he used
to do. But some twenty years ago he used
to tell, with great gusto, the following story :
“In early life—so early that I cannot re.
member the removal—my father “pulled up
stakes,'l” and carrying with him the house
hold goods, went from Bourbon county, Ky.,
where I was born, to Ohio. Notwithstanding
a rough-struggle with the world, he had a
‘hard time to get on, owing to a numerous
and rapidly increasing family. Well, family
matters had not much improved when I had
reached ray thirteenth year.
At this time there lived in the neighbor
hood a young man by the name of Pickering.
He had inherited a well stocked farm, was
good looking and made a strong profession of
religion. This latter qualification caused him
to find particular favor in the eyes of my
father, who always was blinded by professions
of extra piety.
This fellow had a strong “hankering”'nfter
one of my sisters who was a very pretty girl.
.To her he was peculiarly distasteful. She
seemed always excessively annoyed at his
presence. Yet he was ever at her side.—
She dared not dismiss him entirely, for fear
of the paternal anger. Things went on in
this way for a year or two, and as I partook
largely of my sister’s haired to him, I resol
ved to gel rid of him in some way. I cast
about for a plan for some time, but nothing
occurred which gave me the slightest hope of
being successful.
At last, returning home one summer night
from mill, I found the family at their nightly
devotions. Passing by the windows of the
‘room in which they were assembled, t saw
tliat wu» there, and pretty soon I
di-i'oveo d tliat he was nodding, and finally
his head dropped. Now was my opportuni
ty. 1 -s'nle sltlv inm the hall, and reaching
the hall door, which was slightly ajar, and
close by which Pickering was on bended knee,
I reached in and quickly pulling his chair
from under him, be rolled heavily as a sound
sleeper would upon the floor. The noise
alarmed all. The old gentleman stopped in
the midst of the almost interminable prayer,
and saw the position of Pickering. Ail the
family laughed outright. Even my mother
.smiled.
V

evidi

Slowly, V

again.’ \
Pickering Vas thunderstruck. He felt that
he could make no defence which would not
add to the insult. He had no suspicion of
the exterior force that had aided him in his
fall. He at once\ found his hat, took up his |
line of march, anti, completely crest fallen,
passed me as I stood grinning in the shadow
of the porch. \ "
“At a suitable timeyl entered, got my sup
per, was told by a brother in hurried whis
pers what had happeneii, and then I stole off
to bed, affecting ignorance and laughing most
heartily as I ensconced m\self in the sheets,
at the complete success of \ny plan.
Next day I cautiously imparted my secret
to my interested sister. SheXwas in her own
room at the time, and she threw herself up-'
on the bed and rolled in agonies and convul
sions of laughter. She had been emancipa
ted forever from the attentions of an obnox
ious lover\ The old gentleman did norhea r
the real 'Stale of the facts for mil twenty
years afterwards, but when he did he laughed
heartily.” \
Pickering endeavored lo pick himself up as
pidly as possible, but .he had touched the
' man upon his lenderest point. It was
lent, from bis rubbing bis eyes, that be
\slept under the old gen'leman’s minislra
* and had not my father a reputation

tinistralions, and was not Pickering
brother? It was 100 Vnuch !

tones. ‘Never enter my house
Parson Brownlow, in a late letteV, thus
accepls-ihe invasion recently to
him by Horace Greeley :
“Horace Greeley has announced that when
I reach New York, as I expect to do In the
spring, the arrangements are to have my ar
guments and statements refuted by Fred.
Douglass, one of the colored orators! I
have arranged to meet his case. I shall take
with me a servant, acting here in the capacity
of a barber, and known as Aif. Anderson.
He is a large, hoe looking negro, between
the years of 25 and 30—reads and writes
well—has some experience as a public speak
er—has stentorian lungs—is a strong forcible
speaker—rather clcoquent than otherwise—
end is a dative of East Tennessee. He will
meet colored orators—advocate and illustrate
Southern slavery, and oppose abolnonism.
In the meantime, if you can induce him >o
go with you upon an underground railroad
to Canada, or to remain in your glorious land
of freedom, I will let him do either, and give
no opposition to stealing him. 1 *

the subscribers, members of ttye Committee. The
Safes were then cooled off with water, a : ‘cr which
they were opened* and the books and nroe s taken
out by the Committee and sent to H- A. Lantz’s
store for public examination, after they were first
examined and marked by (he Committee. The
books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured
by Evans & Watson were hut ’slightly affected by
the intense heat, while those tiaken from the Safe
manufactured by Farrels & Herring, were in our
judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent more than
those taken from Evans & Watson’s Safe.
We believe the above to have been a fair and im
partial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes.
