ALL ABOUT HER COURTSHIP. ‘* Well, Clara, let’s see; it’s been as much a8 @ year since you was here, ain’tit? Yes, I remember now, it’s a year and one week. exactly; because.I know I had just finished spinning my mixed woo]—the last of the fleece that growed on old Humpback—Humpback was a sheep that my husband, poor, dear man, bought in Pork State of an auction feller, and he allers kept her wool for the stocking yarn, because it was finer than the other sheepses’ wool, and not so nubby.”’ “«* Wall, now the way that sheep died was railly presbyterious! It was one of the seven wonders of this mighty universe. Yo see, one morning yer uncle, he says to me, ype 4 suddenly sez he, ‘ Hannah, I kinder feel as if old Humpback would’nt survive long; che’s been ailin’ a good while, and you'd better be savin’ of that wool of hern, and knit the tops and toes of yer stockings out of white.’ “*T poohed at him, and sez I, “ Law, Mica- jah, the sheep's well enough Do put on yer boots and gto the barn if ye’re a goin’ to- day. Don't set there a snuffing ashes any longer.’’ “Ye see, Micajah had a wonderful habit of gettin up and settin down by the fire in his stockin feet. and, with a boot in each hand, there he'd set till I got breakfast reddy Now I never allowed myself to get in the habit of scoldin, but it allers did raise my ‘ebenezer’ to see anybody settin round in their stocking feet, for if there’s anything I hate it’s darn- ing up old stockings. ‘At this ere broad hint he puiled on his boots awful spry and went out. I kept on gettin’ breakfast. I can remember jest as well as if it were but yesterday what [ was cookin’—biied pertaters: we did use to raise the best pertaters that ever you seed ; there was the pink eye and the cravberry, and the mango, and the rohan, and the long red, and I don’t know what all. Wall, I was bilin’ pertaters, and thenI had pork, good, fat, salt pork to fry; we allers got our pork so fat that the pork would fry itself; none of yer suthern stuff I can tell ye. Then I had sas- Sengers and good corn bread. and some baked beans that was left of our dinner the day be fore. I allers gathers up the fragments, for I do think it sin to waste vittels. I remem- ber I had just put them beans into a bow! to warm, when in rushed Micsjah, his eyes ter- EVENING STA ribly strained, and his mouth open jest for all | the world as if he was a ketching flies, and sez he— “Oh, Hannah, she’s dead! Humpback’s dead! poor old faithful critier, she’s gone at last’* “IT was dumodfounded. I dropped down on acheer, and sez I, sakes alive, Micajah’ 1 haint felt so bad sinee the very time that de- satefui Poll Hammerton told me that it was a sartin fact that you and Emmelise Pepperell was ingaged. eas, dear, how solemuized I did feel then About what Poll told me, i mean. I thought of all the poctry I ever read, and kow disappointed ones allers drowned themeelves in some willer bordered lake; so IT ondid my hair to make me look thumatic, and went down to the frog pond in our pastur —but there, this has nothin’ to do with the old sheep, has it? I declare I never was guilty of emigrating from my subject 30 afore. 1 do think if any body kalkerlates tv tell a story they'd better tell it, and not go off on some ieng rigmarole after nothin’. Now there's the Widder Richards, she’s the great- est cage to tell a story that ever you seed She'll go all over creation tellin’ a. ; and that critter actilly thinks that my Cicer Eldad is a goin’ to be ketched in her yaller false curls. There, it almost decomposes mo to think of it; that critter my eon’s wife! i'd rather marry him wa painted rag-bag aud be done with it They do say that itis a fact that she daubs her face with butter-milk to make it look white, aud rubs her cheeks in mullen leaves to inske ‘em look red, and puts ile on her hair; and, and—iet’s see, where did I leave of? About my poor, demented husband came in looking se ;solemneboly. Why he looked for all the world jest ashe did a great while ago when he asked one time afore we was married—but there, I inight tel! ye aswell as uot, howIcum w hev your uncle, and then you'll know ail about it “Ye see,I was born and brought up to Tattleville, and your uncle lived over to Pun- kin City. They allers cailed it Punkin City because the folks over there had # good deal to dew with punkins. They used to say that Punkin City folks made all their bread out of punkins, used the leaves for pie kivers, the stalks for clothes pins, and the shells—only think of it, child, they had’nt a single dieh but what was a punkin shell. ‘* But there, you know if folks couldn’t talk they couldn t say nothin ; and tain’t no use to believe everything you hear ** Wall, one time there was to bea great busking party at Deacon Lieingles’; it was, | zs the poets say, in the golden autumn time, though for the life of me I never could sec what made ’em call itso; there's precious little gold about it anyhow. I was acqusint- ed with Jerusha Liesingle, the deacon’s old darter. (The deacon was a widder) Sho and me were great cronies, I gan tell ye, and the way we used to goit when we got together was acaution. Jerusha had the ceft of the work to do; so the day afore the huskin she sent for me to come over and help her fix. 4 was tickled to death to go, so { put on my new calico dress ; there, how well I do remem- | ber that dress. Lt was a red and yaller stripe, with a sprig of rosesevery now and then on to it. It was made with short sleeves, and I put on my long sleeved spencer; it was afore these ere basket waists cumin fashion, we didn’t haye no such foolish names in then good old times; well, I puton my long sleeved spencer to keep my gown clean, and gay ag a peacock, I went over to the deacon s ‘‘ Law-a-massy-sake! sich a cluttered up lace as that kitchen was I never did seo. They had been churning. there sot the churn, half full of buttermilk, rite in the middle of the floor; and the dinner dishes wasn't wash- ed, and the cat was actiily up iu the sink smejlin of the butter ladle. Poor Jerusia! her face was redder than a June piney, and her eyes looked like two holes burnt in a red blanket. She was into the suds up to her el- bows, washin table cloths for the great ea-ion, and her little sister, Huidah, was out pickin up chips to make the fire kindle. ** Wall. Jerusha,” sez 1, ‘ pow jest tell us what you want done and here’s the gal that’s ready to propel.’’ ** Let me see,’ sez she, “there's the attic beds to make, and the fore room tosweep, and the dishes to wash, and two cracked puddin dishes to sew together, and the coffee to grin Js and the knives to scour, aud then there’s the cookin ; let me think; L baked the ginger- bread and fried the turnovers yesterday, and this forenoon I made the punkin pies, so all we'll have to do will be to make the apple and mince pies, we shall want two dozen of each kind, and then there’s the doughnuts and the flour bread to fix. ‘* Wall, I went into the work, hammer and tongs, as Shakspeare says, and the way things had to stand round was astonisbiu, I made ail the beds and washed the dishes, and then [ went to cookin, Sakes alive! Sicha master sight of spice and sugar as itdid take. But Jerusha was determined to have things real nice. ‘Fer,’ sez she, ‘father has gin some of the Punkin City fellers an invite, and L want mre to know that there's some folks in the world besides them.’ “This was like adding dry hemlock wood to the fire of my smartness, and I flew round till my feet hardly toched the floor.
