Bill replied, " Can't tell, 'preps they will ;. , the ,t1, 7 --ia abolitionists 'peached An drew Jackson once, and its Jest like W . to'peach Johnson." ," Well, Bill," 're-._ plied the other, "-they'll have a nice Ods time if they do3et yet ' life; Andy Ain't no dead beat, ye know, and if . they do 'peach himAtill 'Make fightin ; the South 'IL fight for him, and the Demo-, crats 'Blight for him.

This interchange of thought was•eut Short by the car whistle, as the train ap proached a station, and the next mo ment, when the conductor sung out, " Antwerp," the two men were appa-._ ten tly asleep. - . - The train started up, and in due time 4,he conductor reached the bleepers, and .

"lt's too late-now ; come, hur ry up." .And the twain were hustled towards the rear of the s car, while, th 6 silokesman still insisted, with an hi- Jured air, that they were "not dead beats," The other showed the " spirit of ,a map," by clinging fast to the plat form, bu • was finally detached, and sent spinnint into a snow-bank. As he' strugglet there, With his head twatds China and his heels turned up defiantly to the full moon, his companion indig nantly continued to the conductor, " I know you, wind yob shall suffer for this. We ain't no dead beaAs, ye know." •I looked at his partner rti distress;stillin veiled, and kicking away at the in mindful moon, and remarked,- " I think he is right in saying that they are not both dead beats; one, at least, looks like a live turn-up."
