The withered hands are weak,
But they shall do my bidding, though so frail ;

Tbe appointed words to speak.
The sneer I can forgive
Because I know the strength of destiny ;
Until my task is done I cannot die,
Aud then! would not live.
TJ5CLE ZAOHAEIAH'S COUETSHIP ;
Or,Widow Julip and the "Woodchuck.
It was a dark, stormy night dark as the
ace of spades and the rain was beating a
regular tattoo against the window panes of j
no old, half crazy shell of a tavern, wherein I
a outuber of us, way-worn, dirt-bespattered j
travellers were seated around the tire, got
up expressly for the occasion by our land
lord, who. if not as corpulent as talstaff,
sas, to say the least as jolly.and endeavored
w the beta of his . ability to make us merry
by making rum punches.
.Vow, reader, 1 am not a drinking man
vh, no, not by any means but then I do
lake a drop sometimes, when I am traveling
just to keep off the fever aud ague, you
understand and as the night in question
was damp and chilly, and as every, bmg was
rather free, why, maybe I did take a little
wore than was usual with me ou such occa
bioiiB, as in fact I preoume the moat ot my
touipanious did.
My companions for the night were a
6trange medley of Dutch, Irish, Hoosier
and Yankee; what I myself am, I leave for
you to guess. We had taken a horn or twd
lound, and had just begun to feel, as l'at
fiid, "like a wee bit ov a row," when the
Yankee proposed that each should relate a
Htory of some kind, in order as he said, "to
let the evening slide right down jist as slick
su the licker." No sooner had the proposi
tion been made, than "a stoy ! a story!"
resounded on all sides the landlord timing
in to bring up the rear and ot course, as
the Yaukee had proposed, he was the prop
er one to set the example. bo getting our
tumblers once more replenished, we spread
ourselves around the table, lit our cigars,
(the Dutchman smoked a pipe,) and then
signified to the Yankee-that w were ready..
"Wal," returned he taking a sip at the
punch and throwing himself back in his
chair (and he was a mighty long man, and
a mighty thin one, and had a rather peaked
face, sharp nose, large mouth, and suia'l,
laughing grey eyes) "wal, I guess I'm je;.t
about as ready as any ot ye. so "
"Well, be jabers ! don't be afthcr makin'
them preliminaries, Misther Yankee, and
don't ba afther pitting thrunk till ye've
touldthe story 1" interrupted l'at, who had
just enough liquor iu him to make him feel
consequential.
"Yaw, dat ish-right dat Lh goot !"
chimed in the Dutchman.
"Hold your tongues, you tarnel "
"The story ! the story !" cried I.
"Whoop ! the story, bejabers !" said Pat.
"Yaw, dat Lh right !" went the Dutch
man. The Yankee scratched his head and then
commenced :
"Wal, you eee, gentlemen, my name is
Zebediah Zebediah Tucker is the whole
on't wal, ye see, 1 have an uncle,and bis'n
is Zachariah they call him Zack he's a
curious kind o' a chap, I guess, as ever you
see; he wouldn't no more mind lickin' a
man than nothing ; and he's tarnel big,tew,
jest round the waist ; and he's as heavy as
a log ot maple with the sap in't ; and he's
as strong as a bull calf ; and he's a great
chart. I f a!1 m
"Wal, ye see, my uncle's an old bach of
Forty, who never got married, cause he was
either too bashful, or else cause he couldn't
Kit nobodv to have him, which is jest about
as bad. 1 know he'd like to git married (
the tarnel critter cause he's ailers casting ;
sheep's eyes at every gal he sees,and kinder
ecgin' up to her side ways, like.
"Wal, ye see, my uncle lives in the neigh
borhood of Swampdown a mighty slick
place, tew, I tell ye near Kunfast Mill,
riiiliL in the holler. There ain't many gals
there now, cause the young tellers kept a .
:' .. 3 :' nff oil tUa tims I
so that the place is pooty much thinned out ;
and what is left on 'em are mighty scary like,
o that a teller don't stand much sight of
catchio' one, unless he can put a gold bait
on his hook, which ain't quite easy to do in
these ere times, you know. 'Bout five years
ago, there cum a widder there, from some
place way dowu near Stonypint a real slick,
buxom widder, she was tew, I tell ye but
as spiteful, when she got mad, as an old hen
with chickens. Some folks said she'd n.n
away Irooi her husband ; but I don't be
lieve it cause he wa'n't the critter to run
away from any mau ; and some said she
haJn't never been married ; and there was
all sorts o'siories about her, which she didn't
seem to mind no more' nothing at all.
"Wal, ye see, 'bout two years ago come
haying time, Uncle Zack tuk a notion into
His head that he'd go and see the widder,
cause he kinder felt as if he oughter get
married, and all the gals round there had
gin him the sack. Now uncle Zack had
poked his nose iuto my mess two or three
times, and spilt a courtin' for nie.and so I d
made un my mind the fust time I got a
chance I'd pay him off. And so when I
found that uncle Zack was a goin' to see
the widder, it tickled me amazing ; and says
I to myself, 'I'll pay you, old feller if I
don't darn my buttons!'
"Now, I'd heerd that the widow had ta
ken a desperate liking to rabbits, but hated
a woodchnrk as had as a temperance man
does to be anrht drunk which is tarnel
V4 1 ' J T wrwl-- iin.l
studied up a plan to fix 'em. Ye see, the
.i r , . j-i i
reasooine wiuaer T naxea wwucuuats we,
cauie WW that sd to kum to 6ee her,
as she said, fore she's married, got mad or
huffy 'bout suthiu' and sent her a mitten
rolled up in one of these crittur's skins, and
ever since that she'd been a mortal enemy
of 'em.
lI mistrusted that uncle Zack would be
coming over to ax my opinion 'bout things
and how to proceed (ye see I lived right
t'other side of' a lour acre field from uncle
Zack's) as he always wanted to git my ad
vice, cause it didn't cost nothing for uncle
Zack was a tarnel stingy man so stingy he'd
sometimes walk bareioot and carry his shoes
for fear he'd wear 'em out tew soon.
"Wal, sure enough, one morning, 'fore
breakfast, as I were sitting on the door-sill,
whittling down the little end of a pine shin
gle to a pint, who should come up but uncle
Zack. 1 didn't let on I seen him at all, but
kept a whittling away and singing,
: '0. Widder Julip's a beautiful bird.
She's gut the sweetest voice that ever Ze bed iah
heard.
And the pootiest foot that ever was put down on
the green sward.'
"Ye see I'm a poet, and I iradi this right
up jest as I went along, cause I knew it'd
make uncle Zstck leel kinder bad and bring
him riiht to thn pint.
" 'Zebcdiah.' frays uncle Zack, 'coming up
in a great nustcratioti ; "Zv-'uediah !' says he.
"Why, hello. Uncle!" .sa-s I, jumping
up; "is this ere you? Jlowd'jedu! 1
hain't seen ye lor a long time. And then
I went rieht up and got the old fel er by the
hand, so affectionate like, and says I: "Un
cle, you look pale," (his face were as red
as a beet) "indeed you do!" and I put
my fingers to my eyes and tried to find tear.,
but they wa'n't there.
"Don't cry, Zeb don't 1" says Uncle
Zack ; "the fact is, I han't felt so well of
late ; but 1 guess tan't nothing of conse
quence, lint I thought I heerd you singing
sumthing 'bout Widder Julip. I jest come
over to nx you 'bout her. Zeb for ye see,
to tell the truth, I've got in love with her"
"She's an angel, Uncle Zack," says I.
"So she are, Zeb, so she are !" says Un
cle Zack ; "and now how'd I better perceed
to either?"
"How d'ye perceed to git sheep?" says I.
"I puts sunuhing in a dish and goes out
and coaxes 'em," .says Uncle Zack ; "and
when I gits 'em close enough, I jest grabs
right hold on 'em."
"Wal.jjays I, "Widdersis caught in the
same way.' Duly jest git sututhing nice to
jingle in the way of a present, and they'll
cum right to ye, the tarnal critters ! and
then you citn lay right hold on their affec
tions. Sometimes they're as docile as a
pet kitten, and sometimes as slippery as a
greased pig so when you git one cornered,
you must throw the matrimonial noose right
around her, or maybe she'll be off like a
streak of light'ning in a thunder shower."
"When I told Uncle Zack this, he fairly
groaned for he hated to pty out anything
like darnation ; ai d he couldn't bear to
think of the widder' s slipping off, nother ;
and says he, says Uncle Zack
"Ain't there no other way of doing it,
Zeb, my boy? lis so tarnal expensive it a
feller should happen to git the slip."
"There ain t no other way," says I; "but
I can tell you bow you can du in this case,
and it won't cost much, nother."
"Uncle Zack's eyes brightened, they did ;
and he eatched right hold of me ; aud says
he. says Uncle Zack :
"What is it, Zeb? I'm dyingto know."
"Wal," says 1, "you know the widder's
tond ot rabbits?
'Yes! yes!" says Uncle Zack looking
as good mitured as the inside of an apple
dumpling "yes, I know she told me so,
the ansrcl, with her own sweet lips;" and
Uncle ack fairly looked watery round the
mouth.
"Wal, now," says I, "jest take my ad
vice "twon't cost much" (Uncle Zack
fairly laffed, be felt so tickled to think it
was agoing to be so cheap) "and jest you
go and kill a rabbit, a plump one, and take
it down to the widder ; but you must keep
it covered up, so she won't know nothing
about it till you git ready for her; and you
must work her -up like, telling her how
much you love her, and all them things you
know how tu do so wal" (Uncle Zack laff
ed agin, he did.) "and when you git her
in the riffht place, vou must undu the rab
bit, and present it to her, and say that goes
for itself to show her that you don't forgit
her when you re away, ana all sicn nice
things; and then je.-t toiler it up, pop the
. ' , , .1 ,-1 1.1. . j
Question, ana you ve got uer use a nooneu
mua turkle.
"Uncle Zack bust right out a laffing ; he
couldn't helu it he felt so tickled to think
how easy 'twos to du it , and grabbing hold
of rnr hand, he shuk it like sissars; and
hf. "I'll du it this verv night coming ;"
and ilun started riirht off hum, and never
t-.tiil Minithf r word.
"U't Unnwed Uncle Zack 'ud keep
his word and; so I went right straight to
work that day, and killed a woodchuck ; ana
1 j. uuu 1 t .

Uncle Zack's toward night, and there Iseen

(Uncle Zack alwars rid when he went a-
courting. cause it made a diow and din t
cost nothing) and I watched my chance,
got it out, and got the woodchuck in ; and
then says I to myself, "I guess may be there
won't be do fun now;" and then I laffed,
I did.
"Wal.-arter I'd done that are, I started
for the widder's, to see how it 'ud cum out.
The widder lived 'bout four mile off, and I
got I here jest at dusk, and seen Uncle Zack
cuming up at the same time, straddle of his
hnss. with his Sunday go-to-meeting-long-
tailed-blue coat and breeches on ; and I felt
tailed-b ue coat and Dreecnes on ; and l teit
oertSalar pleased when I see him git off
and take tne rauuu v" tuuiuij um

the house. 1 waited out back tin it got to
be dark, and the widder had lighted up,
...i ikon T min nnit neened intu tne wm-
and then I went and peeped intu the win-
deJ-and therl I see Uncle Zack, a sittin'
right opposite the widder at the table-seating
supper, and talking and lafflng almighty
slick and then I laffed tew think as how
I'd laff last. Now jest by me, was a barrel
of soft soap, and a tub ; and I thought I
might jest as wal have a good deal of sport,
as a little "seeing," as Uncle Zack would
say, "it would'nt cost no more ;" and so I
jest got the tub, and filled it partly with
soap, and sot it right on the door-step, and
then went back to look at the critters.
"Wal, the widder she'd say sumthing
funny, and Uncle Zack he'd laff; and then
Uncle Zack he'd say sumthing funny, and
the widder she'd laff; and then that tickled
me, and I'd laff. Wal, arter awhile, it got
to growing more serious-7-and the widder
she'd look down and blush jest like a baby
that's been coughing, and then look up and
kinder smile ; and Uncle Zack he'd sorter
twist round in his chair, like he had the
fidgets, and talk very low, and so I knew
the matter was coming to a fokis right fast.
After awhile, Uncle Zack he got up, and
wiped the prespiration from his face (for
ye see it's tarnal hot work making love to a
widder) aud then he went and got the
bundle, and I jest fairly held my breath, I
were so excited.
"I couldn't hear exactly what he said,
when he undid it ; but I guess it were sum
thing very nice, cause the widder she looked
s'o affectionate like, she did. and Uncle Zack
so earnest. At last the whole thing cum
out, as the pajers say ; and Uncle Zack he
laid it on the table as the Congressmen say;
and then he pinted to it in triumph with
out ever once looking at it. himself with
his eyes fixed right steady on the widder,
which tickled me so I couldn't hold in. The
widder she looked fust at that and then at
him and then at that and then at him
agin; and then she turned red in the face,
aud then white ; and then she looked a lit
tle of both mixed together; and then t-he
jumped up and down, aud screamed right
out: ,
"Oh. vou imr! vou rascal!' you tarnal
scoundrel,
bringing a
you! wrat ou you mean Dy
wood chuck here for to insult

me
" 'Taint a woodchuck !" said Uucle Zack,
staring at it with mouth wide open, and
eyes sticking right out ; " 'tain't "
"Y'ou lie I screamed the widder, . jest as
Uncle Zack was . going to say sumthing
more; and she up with a tea-cup, and took
him co-chug', right in -the roouth.-- .vmn,
It s all a mistake ! saia kncie acK.

and Lincle Zack he run tor tlie door, auu x

and laffed, and laffed, ami laffed; till I tho't
there weren't no such thing as gittin' of my
breath agin ; and thon, pooty soon, I seed
the door open, and I riz right up ou the
grass to see the fun ; and jct as he was
cuming out (Uncle Zack) he turned round
to say sumthing; and the widder by this
time had got so mad that she pitched right
into him ; and then his foot slipped, and he
fell co-souse right into the tub of soft soap ;
and the widder she fell co-chug right on to
him ; aud the tub and the soap. Uncle Zacs
and the widder, all rolled off the door steo
together; and I rolled right over agin on
'to the crass, and laffed, and laffed, aud laff

"Oh, Lord !" says Uncle Zack.
"Oh, my !" sayo t:ie widder.
"This 'ore's the evil one's work!" says
Uncle Zack.
"And you're the evil one!" says tha wid
der ; and then she up and slung a hull hand
full of soft soap right into his mouth.
I couldn't stand it no longer, and I hot
lered right out.
"Oh. niercv ! mercy!" cried Uncle Zack,
gittine on his knees, awful skearcd.
"Kiln. Zackariah!" cried I, in a
holler
voice.
And Uncle Zack did run ; and he run on
oneway and I run t'other ; and we lelt the
Widder Julip to fight it out with the wood
cnuck and soft soap. .
