Mr. Thom rsom.z—Drsh SIR efiAililS is over, and
the thing's dcd. You knout I mid you In my last let=
ter I was gwine to bring Miss Mary up Le the chalk
Crismus. Well, I done it as slick as a Whistle, tho'
it come mighty sigh bein a serious andel tokin. Rbf
I'll tell you all about the whole circumstance. thet
fact is, l'd mode my mind up mor'n twenty dines td
jest goand come rite oilt with the whole business; buf
whenever I get Whir she Was, and whenever sbe
ed at rue with her witchin eyes, and kind d' blhshed
at me. I always felt sort o' skeered dad flinty, and all
what I made up to tell her Was forgot, so I tout& t
think of it to save me. But you're a married than ;
Mr. Thompson, so I tueldn't tell 3oU ndthing about
poppin the question, as they call it. It's a mighty
great favor to ea of a rite purty gal, and to people ad
ain't used to it, it goes monstrous hard, don't it?
But
say wilder don't mind it nu morn aoihiag. But I'M
making a transgression ; Its the preacher ses,
Cristnus eve I lint an my new silk and stated raj
face as slick as a smoothin iron and went over to old
Miss Stanley. As soon as I went into the parler — whar•
they was all sitting round the fire, Miss Cuiline and
Miss Kesiah both laughed rite oast.
'There! there!' ses they, I told you seta knelt, ti
would be Joseph,'
'What's I done, Miss Confine r sea I.
•I'cu come under sitter's chicken bone, and I do tito
liege she knew you was coffin When she pink over the
door '
'Nu, I didn't-=I didn't, no sock thing noW,' see
Miss Mary, and her face blusbei red all otter.
'Oh, you needn't deny it,' sea bliss Kesiah, yod
Wiring to Joseph now, jes as sale Its there's any charm
in chicken bones,'
I kndw'd that was a Ansi rate chance to say some.:
thin, but the dear little creates looked so sorry and
kcp biushin so, I could'ot say nothing zactiy to tHd
pint, so I tuck a chair and reached up and tuck down
the bone, and put it in my pocket.
'What ate you gwine to de with that bone, ilajerl'
ses Anis Mary.
'l'tii &inn it, Icetti It as long as I /ire,' sea I, 'as el
Crismus present from the prettiest gal in Georgia.'
When I sod that she blushed worse and Morse.
•A int you 'shamed, Maier?' SCS site,
'Now you ought to give her a Crismus gift, Joseph;
keep all her life,' sett Miss Confine.'
'A h, ses old Miss Stanley, ' , when I Was a gal fiffi
tied to hang up our steeltins-
Why, mother!' ses all of 'em, 'to say stochins rftd
afore'—
Then I felt a little streaked, tot, cans they writ al/
blushin as howl ns they could.

I'd like to knot+ "'hat beret there is In nankin,/
People now-a-days is geltin do Mealy-mouthed that

The gals kept Int7ghin:
'Never mind,' set Miss Mary, 'the Al ekier has goc 4cl

'Oh, yes, set I, 'you know I pre/raised you one.'
'But I don't mean that,' sea she.
'ne got One for you ; What t want you toLi all
your life, but it %redid take a three bittin-1 bag to oki
it,' :TS I.
'Oh, that's the kind, sea she.
'But will you keep it as long as yeti live?' !es I.
'Certainly I will, Majer.'
'Now you hear that, Miss Carlitie, i set I; 'she Nut
she'll koep it all her life'
'Yes I will,' set Ivlriryobtit Whitt 13 it?'
'Never mind,' set I, 'ynu bang np et bag big enough
to hold it, and yoti'll find oht what it it in the asorain.. l
Miss Carline winked he Miss Kesiah and then whit ,
pored to her then they both laughed and looked at ate
as misehieirobs as they could. They i speeted sons&
thin.
' You'll be sure to gibe it to tne noW, if I hang up a,
bag,' ses Miss Mary.
' And you promis to keep it,' sea I.
' AVell i will, carts I know you Wouldn't give Duthie
that wasn't worth keepin.'
They all agreed that they would hang up a bag fel'
me to put Miss Mary's Crismus present in, in the
bark porch, and about 9 o'clock I told 'On good evens
lug and went home.
I set up till midnight, and when thry wits ell gorse
to bed I went softly into the back gate, arid went up id
the pordh, and that . . share enuff, wage great big meal
Inig hanging to the jite. ft wnsmonst rouser handy td
git into it, but I was 'tarrnined not to beck out; so I
sot some chairs on top of a bench and got bold of the
rope and let myself down into the bag; but jest as I
was gruel' in, the bag swung again the chairs, and
down they went with a terrible racket. But nobody
didn't wake up but old Miss Stanley's gnat big cut
dog. and here he cum tippin and tarin through the
yard like wrath, and round he went, tryia to find what
was the matter. I sot down in the beg, and didn't
breathe louder nor a kitten, for fear he'd find me out,
and after a while he (pit barliin. The wind began to
blow 'homniuble cold, and the old bag kept turbid
round and swingin so it made me sea-sick as the mis
chief. I was 'fraid to move, for fear the reap would
brake and let me fall, and thar I sot with my teeth rat
lin like I had an ager. It seemed like it would nor- ,
ereumednyligltt, arid I disbelieve ill didn't lure Miss
Mary so powerfully, I'd a froze to detb; for my heart
was the only spot that felt warm, and it didn't brat
more'n twolicks a minit, only when 1 thought how
she would be 'bprised in the meteor end then it went
into a canter.
Bimeby the tossed old dog come Up on the parchand
begun to smell bout the bag, and then he barked like
he thu't be bad treed somethiti. 'Bow, wow, wow!'
sea he. Then he'd smell agin, and try to get up to
the bag. 'Get out,' ses I, very low; for fear they
would hear. Bow, wow, wow!' ries he. 'Begone!
you bominable fool,' ses I, and I Mt all oief Mallets,
for I spec ted every remit he'd nip me, . and what Made
it worse, I couldn't see whar bouts ho'd take h01d. 4 --
'Bow, wow, wow!' Then I tried cons in—'c'crttle here,
good feller,' ses I, and whistled a little to him, but it
want no use, Thar ho stood and kep op his eternal
whinin and barking all night. I Couldn't tell when'
daylight was braking, only by the chickens crowin, and
was monstrous glad to hear 'ern, for if I had to stay
them one hour more, I don't believe I'd ever got out o'
that bag alive.
Old Visa Stanley came out rim, and as soon as the
saw the brttr, sea she.
'What upon yearth has Joseph put into that long beg
for Mary? I'll lay it's a yearlin or some live animal..
or Bruin wouldn't bark at it so,'
She went in to call the gals, and I sot thar, shiver) rr
all over so I couldn't speak if I tried to—but I didn't'
say nothin. Bimeby they all came runnin out.
' My Lord! what is it?' ses Miss Mary.
'Oh, it's alive! sea Kesiah,•l see it move.' •
' Call Cato, and make him eut the rape,' see Mist
Carline, 'and let's see what it is. Come here, Cate,
rind let this beg . clown.'
' Ejon i t hurt it for the world, see Miss filmy,
Cato united the rope that was round die dice, and
let the ba.• ' down easy on the floor, and I tumbled out,
all covered with corn meal from bead to feat!
' Goodness gracious!' ses Miss Mary, 'if it aint the
Nlnier himself!'
'Yes,' ses I, 'and you know you premised to keep tny
Crisman present as long as you lived.'
The gals laughed themselves almost to detb, and
*eat to brushing off the meal a fast as they could,
sayin they were gwino to hang that Fag up every Cris
mug, till they got husbands too. Miss Maryv—blest
her bright eyes! sbe blushed as beautiful as a. nicer ,
in-glory, and secl she'dstick to her word. She wits
rite out o' bed, and her hair wasn't combed, and het
