January 2; 1853 , , ¶-4w
There lived in a certain neighborhood
not far - distant - from here, a blustering rowdy
named Jimmy Blander. Jim was "sum"
in a fight—a kind' of pugilistic Napoleon.
Many and bloody were the affrays he had
in his lifetime and he invaribly came oft first
best. Jim not only considered himself in
vulnerable, but all the fighting characters in
the 'surrounding country considered it was
no use fighting Jim, as he was considered to
be a patent threshing machine, that could not
be improved on. Id Jim's neighborhood
had settled quite a number of Quakers.—
From some cause or other, Jim hated the
"shad bellies," as he called them, with his
entire heart; he often declared that to whip,
one of these inoffensive people wuuld•l3e
the crowning glory of his life. For years
Jim waited a pretext. One of Jim's churns
overheard a "young" Quaker speak in dis
paraging terms of him. The report soon
came to Jim's ears not a little magnified.--
Jim made desperate threats what he. was go-
ing to do with Nathan, the meek follower
of Penn, on sight, besides the various brui
ses and contusions he meant to inttiOt on..Na•
than's body; in his chaste language he meant
to gouge out both of his eyes; and chow WI
both his ears.
Nathan heard of Jim's threat and very
properly kept out of his way, hoping that
time would molify his anger. It seems,
however that this much desired result did
not take place. One day Nathan was out
riding, and passing through a long lane,
when about midway, ho espied Jim enter
ing the other end. Nathan might have
turned and fled, but his flesh rebelled at re
treating:
" I will pursue my way peaceably," said
the Quaker, "and I - hope the better sense of
the man of wrath, will not permit him to
molest me, or allow him to do violence to my
person."
Nathan's calculations as to the lamb like
qualities of his adversary, were doomed to be
disappointed.
" Oh, ho !" thought the bull, as he recog
nized Nathan, "I have him at last. Now,
I'll matzo mincoment of shad belly, and salt
and pickle him too !"
"Wilt thou please to dismount from thy
horse 1" said Jim, seizing the bridle of Na
than's horse, mincing his style ; my heart
yearneth above all things to give thee the
biggest mauling that ever a man received."
Friend James," replied Nathan, •thou
must not molest me, but let me go on my
way in peace. Thy better judgement will
surely tell thee that thou cannot posibly be
benefitted by personally injuring me."
tt Get down, in a moment !" thundered
Jim ; get down, you canting lying, mischief
making hypocrite. I'll drag you down if
you dont dismount."
" Friend James, I remonstrate against
thy proceeding, and against thy language,"
replied Nathan. "My religion teacheth me
sincerity. lam neither a liar, a mischief
maker, nor a hypocrite; I am no coward,
but a man of peace ; I desire to pursue my
way quietly ; let me pass on."
"Get down," persisted Jim ; "down with
you ! I want to beat some of you—l must
g ive you a flogging before I leave you. I
think by the time I ant through with you,
you will pass for a tolerably honest man. I
will tench you, in a short, easy lesson, the
importance of minding your own business,
and the risk in slandering your neighbors."
" I will not dismount," said Nathan, loose
your hold from the bridle."
'You won't, won't you ?' said Jim, "then
hero goes"—and he nudes desperate lunge
to collar the Quaker.
Nathan was on his feet in an instant on
the opposite side of the horse.
The Quaker although of mach smaller
proportion than his persecutor, was all
ew and muscle and his well knit form deno
ted both activity and strength. His wrath
was evidently enkindled.
" Friend James," he implored," thy per
tinacious persistence in persecuting me is
exceedingly annoying, thou must desist, or
peradventure I may
. so far forget myself as
to do thee some bodily harm."
" By snakes !" said Jim, coming towards
Nathan, "I believe there is fight enough in
Broad-brim to make the affair interesting.
I wish some of the boys were here to see
the fun." "Now," continued Jim,
"friend
Nathan, I am going to knock off the end of
your nose—look out !"
Suiting the action to the word, Jim, after
various pugilistic gyrations with his fists,
made a scientific bloW at the nasal forma
tion of our friend, but Tom Hyer could not
more scientifically have warded it off. Jim
was evidently disconcerted at the ill success
of his first attempt—he saw he had under
taken quite as much as he was likely to ac
complish. James, however, straightened
himself out, and approached Nathan more
cautiously. The contest began again. Na
than stood his ground firmly, and skillfully
warded off the shower of blows which James
aimed at him.

"Friend James," said Nathan, in the
heat of the contest, 'this is mere child's play.
It grieves me that thou bast forced me into
resistance, but I must defend myself from
,bodily harm. I• see there is but one way
Jim Blander and the Quaker.
NUMBER 20.
of bringing this scandalous and wicked af
fair to a close, and that is by my conquering
thee ; in order to do this, I will inflict a heavy'
blow 7ween thy eyes, w
thee."
Following out this -suggestion, Nathan',
struck him a tretnendous blow nn'hiitinia-' ,
head, which brought him sensnless to the'
ground.
" Now," said Nathan, "I will teach thee'
a lesson, and I hope if will be a wholesome
lesson, too. I will seat myselllt straddle on
thy breast—l will place.my knees upon thy
arms, thus so that thou cannot injure me
when thou returnest to consciousness. I
hope I may be, the' humble instrument of
taming thy fierce.and warlike nature, and .
liking a better and peaceful man of thee."'
As-the-Quaker-concluded, Jim_began
_to .
show some 'returning signs of life. The
first imimlse of Jim, when he faily saw his'
position was to turn Nathan off. He strug-•
glad desperately, but he was in a vice—
his efforts were unavailing.
"Friend, thee must keep still unit I I am
done with thee," said Nathan. "I believe
I am an humble instrument in the hand of.
Providence, to chastice thee, and I trust,'
when I am done with thee, thou wilt be a
char.ged Man. Friend James, does thee
not repent attacking me ?"
No," said Jim with an oath, "let Me up
and I'll show you."
"I will not let thee up, thou impious
wretch," replied Nathan. "barest thou;
profane the name of thy Maker'? I will
check respiration for a moment." '
Nathan, as good as his word, clutched
Jim by the throat. Ho compressed his•
gripe—a gurgling sound could be heart—
Jim's face became distorted—a tremor ran
through his frame. He was evidentiy
dergoing a process of strangulation. Tho
Quaker relaxed his held, but not until the
choking process had sufficiently as he
thought tamed the perverse spirit of Jim.—
I took some moments for Jim to inhale suffi
cient air to address the Quaker.
"I knock under," said Jim, "enough! let
me up." •
"Nay, thou hest not got half enough," re
plied Nathan. "Thou art now undergoing
a process of moral purification, and thou
must be contended to remain where thou li
est until lam done with thee. Thou hint
profaned the name of thy Maker; confess
dont thou repent thy wickedness ?"
"No hanged if I do," growled Jim.
"Wilt thou not !" replied the Quaker,
"must I use compulsory means ? I will
compress thy wind?ipe again, unless thou
give me an answer in the affirmative ; say
quick, art thou sorry 1" '
"No—l—l—y-e-s," shrieked Jim, in a
gurgling tone, as the Quaker tightened his
grip, "yes .I am sorry."
Is thy sorrow, Godly sorrow 9" inquired
Nathan.
Jim rather demurred giving.an uffirma4
five answer • to this question but in n gentle
squeeze admonished him that he had better
yield.
Yes," replied Jitr, "my sorrow 33 tt
Godly sorrow !" •
A Godly sorrow leadeth to repentance,'
replied Nathun ; "we are progressing.Pne4
ly. Thou said but just now, that I was it
cunting.cownrdly, mischief making hypo
csite. Thou wronged me in asserting these
things, and slandered my persuafion. Dost
thou recall those assertions." .
Yes," replied Jim, .my sorrow is e God.
ly sorrow," •
" I am not done with thee yet," said Na
then, "thou host been a disturber of the
peace of this neighborhood time out of mind
--thy hand has been raised against every
man—thou art a brawler.—Wilt thou prom
ise mo that in future thou will lead amore
peaceful life ; that thou wilt love thy neigh.
bor as thyself ?
"Yes," answered Jim hesitatingly, all but
the Quakers." . •
'•Thou must make no exceptions," replied
Nathan. "1 insist upon . an affirmative an•
ewer,
"I say yes to that !—I will die first !"
A struggle now ensued between the two
but Jim had his match.
"Thou. must yield ; I insist atilt," said
Nathan, and he grasped Jim by. the throat.
"I will choke thee into submision ; thou
must answer affirmatively ; say, arta mo
promise to love my neighbor as myself in , .
eluding Quakers.'
"I won't promise that," replied Jinf.
"I will check thy respiration if thou don't.
Wilt thou yield ?"
"No, I won't I'll be blasted if I do," aro
swered Jim. •
"Thee bad better give in, I will choke
thee again if thee does not; see, my grip
tightens," replied Nathan.
And Nathan did compress his grip, and
the choking process again went on. • Jim's
face first became distorted, then purOfe ; his
tongue lolled out, and his eyes prottilded.•
from their sockets—his body writhed like a
a dying man's. .Nathan persisted in holds
ing his gripe until Jim become passive; he
then relaxed his hold. Jim was slow in re ,
covering his speech, and his senses ; when
he did, he begged Nathan, for mercy's sake
to.relettee him.
