The following answer' substantially, with
names omitted, Was recently returned to a
"call" extended by a Home Missionary -
Agent to a young minister to "settle" in
the interior of one of the Western states:
"DE.ka BaornEn:- . —Allow me . to group
a few objections against going td ----- , —. 1 :
I speak by the card. .
"L You know that state is considered
the worst in. the Union., that county the'
worst iu the state, that town the worst in,
tli6 county, and that neighborhood has the
worst set of men in the town. One man
there is 'such a son of Belial, that a man
cannot speak to him ' (1 I•3am. 25: 17.)
He is Considered, hoWever, the best man in
town. The prophet 'Samuel bad also the
advantage in his day to that Nuhul had a
good wife; but this man's; wife is worse
than himsef. 'The tord also smote Nabul
that he died,' but tills man and his wife
are still alive. Youl•are' right when,. you
call it 'rather a touch country, but the
grandest kind of a mission field:
"2.-The mud is from threo to five. feet.
deep, alluvial deposit of that depth lying
upon a subliratuni of Clay impervious to
water. This. under Strzitairo of clay; liow. ; _
ever, is the only saltation of the country,
preverding everythiiig f from _ sinking and
surdiincr,below it. 4l traveling is chine on
horseback; but my hbrie is not long-legged
enough to touch the under stratum... rri. The
tradition is, that whe the 'Creator finished
cementing the world,* He threw an . extra
hodful of mortar doon in this place.
"3.. Mosquitoes.' are ef - the mammoth I
kind, generally terme I g,allinippers. Many
of thein-will weigh a pound; and they climb
1,
up on the trees and ark..
"4. Fever and agt e indiginotis. Coon
try flat and streams run b,th ways 'Ague
shakes even the barki of of all except- gum
tree's. Few have lever crawled out of the
sixteen-miles swamp alive. and they were
shaken out by thJ chills
"5. The inliabi6nts are not as loviitg as
Cooing - . doves.. The'. last commandment;
'that ye love one ano her,' probably has not
reached them yet, a they live so far in
land. Indeed it is t e Killienity tats over
again. You kndw the cats fought allnight,
when nothing could o found but a cloud

JACK' S RAVER I ANSWER.ED.7—Once
upon a time there resided in Peehleshire,
Scotland, a half-witted sort :of a
,man who
had a notion that he.was rattier religious,
and who was in the habit of saying his
prayers in a field behind a turf-4 We. One
day this individual was followed to his rep ;
tirement by some, evil disposed. persons,
who screenin,, themselves on .the opposite
side, prepared to listen . to What -he should
say. Jackammenced his devotions,-and . I
amongst other things, e*prssed ;his con=

QuicK. Wonic.—We heard a story told
of a "Yank" which we must repeat. ye
belonged to Shaman's crackery-smashing
squlad *lien on their little Pleasure trip , to
the sea. Being sepqrated from his com
mand one dark night, he found himself
hotly pursued by a squad of yellow rebels.
Racing down a idugh ravine, his hdrae fell,
throwinff and giving him a stunning fall,
and then. galloped away. When he recov
ered he commenced feeling round in the
darkness for his Steed. Presently he en-'',
countered the carcass of a skinned horse; ,
after feeling it carefelly all over frcim raise
to tail,- he came to the sage coneluSidn that
it was Ills own: 'Well,'.' said he; "I swou
to gravy, if that ain't quick work; no soon
er down than ihe hide's of I'm glad
the y didn't find me:" He gave hi§ -01)inz
ion on - his retard td camp that! leather
must be "pesky sktiro among the rebs, and
that they beat "creation a'skinnin quick."
