10E, TWO COWS
the Milli morning post. 4
ATINE WOOD'S WEDDING.
The Red River Republican gives the following
sketch of life amid the forests of the South-siert. It
is vety unlike our ideas in this latitude, but it, is pun
fec tlynaturnl, nevertiteless.
Afterdescribing a tural feast, and the beauty of tha
ladies present thereat, the following is recorded as ap
unexpected interruption for a tint?, to the festivities.
Mounted on a mule which had evidently been de.
barred the rights of his tribe to corn and fodder fur a
serious length of time, were two beings, certainly of
primitive origin --a gay cavalier and a captivating dub
cities! TI e charger not exactly caparisoned like a
palfrey of the Elizabetheau age, walked deliberately.
and we thought at the time, with 'malice aforethough,'
up to a decayed pine log, and came to a dead stand.
Off trolled the knight in a perfectly "don't care a
ti--n" manner, and without carting a glance at the
fair one by his side, or giving. her the slightest, mi..
tang in dismounting, be,dretv a bee line for 'has;
compment, jumping over every thing that tau*
obstruction to his passing ; and singing at the .40p
his voice:
"Come all ye Virginia galls,
And listen to my noise... • -
Neverdo ye wed
With the Carelinaboys;
For if you do
Ytlbr portion it shall be
Corn cake andhominy,
And jansastanga tea;
Berreassal a, Mary.
Bono eum-aoc," &c.
By way of accompaniment he cracked with Infnaira
ble grace, a huge whip, which he flourished above his
held, and gave a yell that wonld have mut the appro
val of a committee of Cumanche braves.
• He's some!" said a friend near us, who mt., indul•
ging in a caehinatory fit at the strange phenomenon.
"The wild man of the woods, for it V!" cried it wog
on our right, who had mounted a log to have a clear
view of the c ritter.
"Two to one he's the feller that butted the bull off
the bayou bridge" exclaimed Ben Brower of Snake
Cree
Our hero heard not, or herded not these coMplimett•
tary remarks, but made his way up to the company in
fine style. He was indeed un original. His height
could not have been less than six feet four, without
the shoes or stockings, which he considered escheats
app •ndages. He wore a shocking bud hat, with a bete
in the top, through which a tuft of red hair found egress,
and waved to and fro, like the cap of a corn stalk on a
windy day. His coat was of nut-dyer!, home manufacs
ture, minus the skirt, which he said he had lost in an
encounter with a wild cat he had slain on the road... r —
Hi* shirt collar was thrown open, disclosing a breast
tanned . .ay the sun of some twenty years, and his ineX
pressibles, which appeared to be on had terms with his
feet, leaving them about two feet leeward, were hitch
ed up on one side with a buckskin brace, giving theln
a zigzag rippeatance decidedly unique. Surveying
the assemblage for a moment, with the attention he
would have given to a- menagerie t f wild beasts, Fie
broke for th thus: 1
"Fellers, I'd just like to know if there's a 'squire in
these parts?"
'Do you mean the parish judge?' asked an estima
ble Citizen,
'Yes, 1 'spore—don't care a pine knot who, so as
he can do the thing,' replied the stranger, giving his
whip a peculiar crack.
'What may be your business, friend?' inquired a
..
demure 'sovereign' in the crowd. -
•Nothin' much no how,' replied the modern Nimrod.
'I only wants the feller that can harness me and that
gal on old Rattler, yonder. She's just the loudest gal
I reckon in the settlement—as slick as a peeled =Tie',
and as clear grit as it skinned taterrolled in the sand;
and I'm called a whole team and a big deg under the
wagon, I've snaked it about these woods for a week,
looking for a 'squire to hitch u:; and wore out a pair
of deerskin britches looking for him; and I wiahl
may be rammed through a gum tree head-foremost, if
I'm going to pack Suze any fu.ther. 1 came bete to
yoke her, and hero I'm ageing to stay.'
The roar of laughter that followed this simple re
cital was deafening. We lost four buttons in convul
sive fits, and it is quite probable we should have suf
fered largely in that lino, hnd not the parish judge &-
rived at that "moment, and given a new turn to affairs!.
The judge, as all our readers know, is supPoserl by
many lobe of Gallic descent although we have anthoti
ty for saying that he is 'native to the manor born.'
Unlike the great poet's justice.
"In frit- round belly with good capon lined; -
With - eyes severe, and beard of formal cuts" •
.jull of, wise saws and modern instances." ~
he is as lean as a Graltamite, living entirely on bran
pudding and fricasseed radishes. With the undying
zeal of an Israelite, he thunders .forth anathemas a
gainst:four-footed animals, and considers ornithology
a fit alterly for cannibals.
Theirs ere the sentiments of the judge, albeit in po
litics he strangely enough "goes the whole hog." At
one time we learn he was an expounderof the Meth
odist faith, and traversed the country in company with
the devout, end, exemplary Father Redwine. This
may account for the serious cast of countenance pecu
liar to him. On the present occasion he was dressed
in the height of the fashion. He wore a "west of
England" invisiblegreen coat, the collarof which was
perpendicular and corded a la collegitfia, giving the
wearer quite a magirerial appearance. His cash
mere vestwas buttoned close up to hie chin, over the
top of n hieh protruded an enormous pair of jot whiz
kers,such as are worn by brigands, whom sensitive
young ladies hold in such high esteem. His pants.
loons, of fancy stripe, were neatly strapped to a pair
of patent leather boots; and French kids encased his
small, delicate hands, in which he held the license that
was to bind together "two willing hearts."
The judge now proceeded to business, calling on the
gay Lothario We have imperfectly described, to "trot
out" his bride."
"You're tae man for my yeller quarter," said °tube
r() in ecstacio3, and away ho went in a run for "Strut."
With one tiffort of his brawney arm, be took het from
the mule ifird brought her to the centre of an enclosure
formed by the company, his eye dilating and his whole
frame exhibiting signs ofjny unspeakable. The bride
was a bouncing prairie beauty on whom time had smil
ed in his rapid course. She wore a blue calico dress,
lull iu every part, thus permitting

gear was a cotton handkerchief with scarlet writs* and
yellow ground-work, tied gracefully under the chin,
and concealing the Outten curls that struggied for lib
erty. Her ‘hoes might have given your ry..cherchtsfash
ionable ladies the hysterics, but they united cornfart
