He must-think weddings'' are all like his
meetings; that can be put off to the 'Sunday1
after' the fourth Saturday in next' mbri'th,'
after the crowd's all gathered and ready to
hear the preaching; If you don't meet' him1
go clean to his honse. '1 'speut he's heard
that Brushy Creek Ned' is here with ' his'
fiddle, 'and has'taken a scare.' ' -
As the nfght was wearing on, and 'rid
p'ats'on had come yet lo unite the destinies
of Geoige Washington Uodgkins 'and'1 'Hie'
amiable and accomp inhed' Mi'ssPoliy Pe'ai'
blossorriii the1 former individual intVnated to
his 'intenteft", the propriety pf passing off
the lime by naving a dance;
Polly asked' her'ma', and her ma 'after
arguing that it was riowhe fashfon ih her
time, in North Carolina, to dance before the
ceremony, at last consented;
The artist 'from Brushy creek was called
in, and, afier much turning and" spitting' oh
the screws, he stamped his foot, and struck
up'-'Money Musft,' and 'away went 'the
country dance. Polly Peablossom -at liie
head, with Thomas' Jefferson Hodgkiris as
her'partrier.arid.Geprge Washington Uodg
kins next, with' Polly's sister, Luvisa, for
his partner. Polly danced lo every gentle
man; and Thomas Jefferson danced to eve
ry ladyj lhen up and down in the middle,
and hands all. round. . Next came George:
Washington and his partner, who under
went the same, process, 'and so op through
the whole as Daboll's arithmetic says;
The yard was lit up' by ihreb or four.
latge light-wood tires, which gave a pictu
resque appearance lo the groups outside.
Oi-. otje aida of the house was Daniel Ncw
itan Peablossom and a bevy of youngsters,
who cither could not or did not desire to
get into iho dance piubably the former
and who amused tliemselvea by jumping ic
wrestling. Ou the other side, a group of
matrons sat under the irees, in cliaiis, and
discoursed uf the mysteries, of. making but-
tercfjuring, chickens of the pip and children.,
of llie croup, besides lamenting, the nnsfor.-i
tune of some neighbor, or the indiscretion I
of some neighbor' daughver, who had run
