Well, George, now while y e're waitin fur your durn'ed fool chain kerries, I'll tell ye bow Ole Burns finished that ar cnspenkabil bull ride of his'n. Ye mind new he got outen on the lane as fast ef a hawk kin fly with the wind, and ef nize, and fuss, an kicken hosses, an dust an bees, and thor stinging counts for glory, hit wur es glorious a start as ever man hed afore, oilers septic Ole Fill's start agin Ole Buck. He hed all the nizo:and dust an squ-alin an, kiekiu in the s%).rt, an he bed th. , orful stingin too, ni onto the out woin—well h> 11:.d. :\u the only way obi feller c.,:e the arter the mons.rcus stioti:ln hi got our in tiry a foot rate nroo full vu game and j,- os ready es cold 9 , 123. Gin rue a biiglit omen, what n.o . s are ropco, far 1:,.!1,:•.1 il.ar han eny thing in odds have hi they hrlls thar beds. bring tear ncze tu the bottom ov.i the troll, an 11:t thar to rest thar set's—w , :•ll, they will. 1 bears a feller once speak a speech that cettin wur king. He wur an onmolifled d—d fool, ur warnt a man et 9.11, ur was a tryin tu clan hit over the crowd : ivitain are king. Just gin them the issuin out ov what baldfaoe they thitks rite fur thar purpos, an I'll jist agree tu he chucked bed first inter the ruver when the mush ice am runnin, ef they dOnt rule the roast an coffin ur muney ur good hat d sence be durnd ; they wont be no whar ef sat again an oman. Now mine this fie, George, oummin es his dus frum: the cussedest fool ye ever seed. Hite this : whenever ye find a thing ye can du yer self, jist sot a she onto the trail, an of she dont do it fur yu, I'll bind misef to leav rot gut alone, fur wun cullinder year,—mine, 010 feller, wun thing ; she must love ye monsrously, ur yu must pay monsrcusly, but of she says she will, why the things dun did. But about cle Fatty Burns an his express bull ride. Arter they got outen the lane they struck a piece ove timber lan, an thar he lost wepun, the baskit; then he betuck his self to ouwinden the rope ofcn the bull's hons,an raved hit nun his lef hen. Squire Mills hes a monerous fitin cross ole bull, what hes the Frogy Mountain range fur his sukit this year. He jist goes whir he durn ed taiuks his self sum apples mong dried grapes ur Simmons. An he happened tu be a browsin about in thls here woods, an hear in Ule Sock a bellerin he got mad and tuck bit fur a challinge an a insult tu. So he raked up sum dirt with his front huff an sprinkled hit over his back, then he dug earn more oaten a batik with his hens au lifted hit with his fool. an spread it over his sef, then he tuck a extra twist ur two in his-tail an busted hit strata up in the ar : an about this time felt ready tu meet the devil, bon to hen, of he cum in shape eve a cow beete. Old Sock and his rider cum in site a t...rm, an they smelt each other. Both wer ded game an monerous hot under the collar : sn a big, veerth shakin fite were moraly darned Bet tis, Latin a lick ove litenen ore rifle shot inter win) eve that curls. Es soon as Ole Burns seed tuther hull, he understood adzactly what wer cumin an when ; so he leaned his sef back onter the repo powful, till he pulled the stirip loops tile an fast onto his shoes, an lie hauled Ole Sock's n: se an lip way up atween his eyes by the ring, sorter like histin a raw hide oaten a vat with a .lion book ; his face looked like hit wer skinned, or a ded beef's hod onto a live bull's Body. Ho wur the wust lookin cow brute in the face ye ever seed, an made his bellerin scan like ho had the rattles. But in spite eve all this, Sock steamed ahead strata toards his inimy. lle didn't keen a single duen for enything sine his iutercours with the honey makers an his mistifi ea-hun in that Cr basket. Ole Burns cummerre ed a snachin blush frum the trees, fast won side an then tether, es he passed, an a warin ove em out ever the inside ove Sock's hilted lip, rite down tot wean his bons. Es fast es he wore em out toe sn :eh mere. He's the best man fur usin bee,kirs or brush in an imergincy I ever seed 11—ill hew he'd thrive in a bad muekitter coon ; they'd never get in suckin distance ova him. But hit all wur hard thr ashin wasted. The two bellerin mersheens associated—they sot that hed together like two drunk locomotives wad.— When they hit, down cum that tails, but they hilted em agin in a moment an a shakin ova cm at the pints, sorter like they wanted tu git the dust onion the bar. The shock fetch Ole Burns outer the dogwood sadti an enter the neck; but he crawfished back darned quick, an never stet eed his thrashin eve em over Char beds an cy... The ilex time they mixed they corn by Ftexes, with thar eyes ellet, fur fear eve that per• petul ineshun bruth. Hit just rained brush well mex 1 with some elful Short ban cussin. The buff's a relicts smart kritter tu be cow bests, au he preshiated adzactly Ole Burn's pow er with a hanfull ove brush. So while Ole Sock war gwine thru a gran charg bind, ho took a air cumbendibus rouu an gin him Marcy's game on ale Fues, a bueiin hot fire in the ear: He jist cum in atween his hine laigs an berried hed an lions thiir ender a full run, a histin Sock's starn two foot clar ova the yearth, an rite then his tail cum down with a swish, an he war tuck along wheelbarrer fashion onto his fore laige, mons rens fast an powerfully agin .his convenience.— With the snollia skid ove his head drawd bier nur ever toward his curl, the brush mersheen still in blast an gittiu faster and harder,. an Ole Burns suaehin ova more. The bellerin an media were new mixed ni onto es ekril es a keetful man mixes whiskey and wetter, an the mixtry made a doleful soon. Et' yu'd bourn bit at haf a mile, yu'd kuow'd thur wer a heap ove hurtin an rath a gwine on w her it mom from. Ole Sock wer has tened in this onnateral, akerd way over a fell pine tree, an tiler Ole Mils stepped, I spoke to sec the oboe over his new plan ove fiitin, au hit si es a darned feel thing, fur of he'd kep I that ar hod eve hi9n in cicf:t Oralunion with Sock's stern, Le'd been boun Cu spoke the word afore long But Lit gin im time tu turn rosin an cum tied cu agin, the nateral butt fitin way. 0:e Mills hed h ileeum fear ova the steam brush mill what Sock kerried, so he cum Lit bites agin, an the ilex time they met they missed, an the horn run onder Ole Burns' laig an atween the rope girth an Sock's side. He gin a twist an basted the girth, swung ( tie Burns an the saddil rouu an rcun a few times in the ar, and then lent em a big sling, the sad dil the hiest, an lilt bung outer the snag lim ove a ded pine, list hi emit' Cu let Ole Burns' harts sorter tech grout! Thar he hung. He cussed now in yearnest, en he mixed in is little prayin' with hit, for he bed a streak eve ekeer in his ma d. Now, when he faun his sef hung up by the heels like outer a dead hog, an two bulls a fain roue I im, his volts wer changed mitily, far his guts (au he hed a few ova em) bore down towards his hed, an hit sounded like he war down in a. well, or hed a locust in his throat. He bemoaned hie condishun powful, cussed Soisily awhile es the first cans, then cussed me jes the imejit cans, Clapshavr es auxillery, an ' talked orful about shot guns, clubs, grave yards, an the brimstone works onder the kere aye the dew!. I tell ye hit wee tremenjue, cummin from a man ova family hung up by the heels tu a tree, whar two dredfnl ole bulls wer at war. Won got a runnin go onter tuther and backed him agin Ole Burns at the rate ove ridgin.filyin, an toted the ole feller way out to wun side, es fur es the ropes let cm ; en to make hit wus, he'd grabbed a deth holt onto a tail, an hilt es long es he cud stan hit fur his ankils. Then he let go an swung tick—tick—like onto a darned ole I clock what wur behine time an a tun' Cu ketch up, an a snatchin at the roots an weeds, fetchin his hens full every grab, tryin to stop hiself; , the cu , sin an prayin a gwine on ell the time w us nur ever. I tell yon now he's got lots ove sand in his giz. zerd, no's the best pluck I ever seed. Well, thar they fit, nun and roun, tarin up the yoath an roots, en liar, au bull meat. Torectly they cum agin frum behine slather agin the ole stud, an kcirie , l im forard this time, an not clock fashun, ridewiso. Es soon as the stars eve ole Mille hit him, he tuck tail holt and hilt hit till his shoes cum off, an he fell smack atop ove the Squire, beds en tails. He got hisself a good holt inter each ove the flanks, an locked his laigs roan his neck, (oh ! he's jist es redy es a cat,) en he made his arrangements to stay thar all nits, fur he'd tuck a good bill holt with his teeth untu the tail. Old Mills didn't onderstaod what wur atop ovo him. Painter! flashed onto his mind, en all his pluck ou he jist turnd tail and started fur North Callus, ole Book trottin arter sorter keerleas like. $121,500 00 2,100 no 4,101 67 210 00 9,478 04 14,841 45 40,246 59 ...... 125,1;03 78 -L., OF TENNESSEE NUMBER 171 The tickler inter his flanks, the chokin roan his neck, an' the vice ontu his tail, discumfurted him powful Ile just mizzled ;an every few jumps, he'd gin a short beller, en kick both heels es hi es he cud, but ole Burns war groomed thar. When he cam to the ruver, over the bluff he loped, had fast. so ole Burns went Stara fust Es soon ea he aced the ruver below him, be cummenoed a climbin the tail, overhanded, but hit warn't any use ; they both went plum oaten site, an spred waves for a mile, and the water spred like ynd flung a three tun rock in. Arter a spell they cum up separate, an tuck a look at each other, an I never saw two critters appeatingly es glad tu part company. Ole Burns swum fur wan bank, and the bull, for tuther ; they staggered out and darn the _Morsel eve dirt either ove em raked up with their hoofs; they just laid down tu rest, an eyed wan another across the ruver. His boys found Old Burns, an hauled him home onto a sled. bull sought anuther suokit, an 010 Sock run wild in the mounting. Old Burns talks crazy like ; see the house is upside down, an he hears bees a hummin ove nites' and sees lots ove orful bulls a fain all day. He's swelled was nur a toad full ove litenen bugs, an brused till he's black es a pot. All the old quilts ove wimmen, and 010 soggy men, clams tu visit im ; the wimmen fans an fixes the bed close, an the men talks tu him ; an the konklasion le that Sat—that cussed infunal fool, pest ove a Sat, is the cause eve the hole kalamity ; an all ove the bee fifers, men an wimmen, gin in the same var dick.
