JERRE COOPER'S KING-BIRD. I am going to tell you how Sam Brown bal- anced his books with Jerre Cooper, when he had got slightly into Jerre’s debt. -This is how it was. Jerre and S: were two great cronies. who had been to ret school together, played quareled, fished, drank, hunted. s:noked, farmed, e , and married sisters. y_lived in a rocky, mountainous town ship in New Hampshire, were they had to get up early in the morning in order to doa day’s work before the sun went down behind old Croydon, which it did on an average about 4 P- m. They were | peeyeoniat in the art of practi- cal jokes, as indeed were all their neighbors, and eternally coming it over each other, and rice versa. They owned adjoining farms, and Sam's meadow was so situated that almost every morning, for weeks, he would go by Jerre’s house, where, of course, he had to stop, chat, and perchance, take a drink. So, one morning, Sam was on his way to the meadow, and passing Jerre’s house, he leaned against the fence and began to talk about the crops, and “ that ‘tarnal throw of pickerel son Keziah caught out to Rider Pond,”’ when his attention was arrested by a prompt little king bird. sitting, on a fence, busily hammering a herd sh etle against a post. to crack him so » get at the luxurious inside. Now, I say.”’ says Sam, «+ why in tarnation, Jerre. don't you kill that ‘ere kingbird; he'll eat every cussed bee you've got, just like he’s eatin’ that’ ere beetle there?” Ob, pshaw!”’ says Jerre, “‘ that ud be der- ned mean; the little feller’s got a nest e’en a’- iaost in the wood pile, and ‘sides that, he kills site of bugs round the housen.”’ Now, do, Jerre, just get your gun and let me shoot him; I hate to see him scooting ‘round here, eatin’ all your bees, and you a in’ his part so."? ‘ou shan’t dew it, Sam, so just shet your Jew; it's no use a talkin;” and Sam thereupon shouldered his fork, and trudged off down to the meadow This conversation, slightly varied, occurred several morni Sam becoming each day moro pressing in his importunities to shoot the bird, until one day he got so urgent that Jerre be- came somewhat wrathy; so when Sam went down the road over the bill Jerre leaned on his fiail and soliloquized as follows: ~ Now, if that ‘ere booby of a Sam Brown wants to shoot that king-bird dang my buttons ef he don’t have a derned good chance to-mor- rer. There'll be no e atween him and I nll he gets the etarnil subject out on his mind. So [kinder guess he may shoot some to mor- rer mornin.’ Having thus expressed himself, Jerre leaned his flail up against the barn door, and deliber- ately strode towards the house, whistling with emphasis ‘ The Road to Boston.”” On arriv- ing at the kitehen, he tock down the old ~ Queen's arm,”’ that he done good service in the French war, besides having taken an active part under Stark, in the battle of Bennington, from the hooks ever the broad and spacious fire-place, where it had hung undisturbed ever since Jerre shot the hen-hawk that was after his chickens; and having blown through it with a gust like a norther, to see if it was clear, (an unnecessary operation, by the way, for the touch-hole was nearly as large as the muzzle.) proceeded to fill it about half full of equal pro- pertions of blasting powder and BBB shot. iben having rammed down the charge ener- getieally for about ten minutes, he picked the tint, filled the pan, placed it behind the door in the entry, retreated to the barn, and swung his Mail determinedly for the space of half an hour, with a grave sort of a grin on his visage, the grain hopping up at every whack of ihe swingle, nd the straw and «ust bounding and floating im the air, when, raising his head and looking down the read. he was mightily tickled to see Sam coming back again as if he had for- rs ten something, and was going home after it. p he came to the fence, and his first saluta- ion war: ~ There's that etarnal king-Lird again, I ewow!”? “Gor-ram it!’ sung out Jerre. “I won't stan’ it any longer; ef you must shute that, ‘ere king-bird, do it and be darned to yer.”” ~ Whar your gun, then?”’ ~It'sin behind the front door, all loaded, and I hope you'll be satisfied.” Sam made for the house, got the gun, went out behind the barn, and found the bird on the lunb of an old apple tree, Jerre, meanwhile, peeped through a crack in the barn. Sam brought the old Queen's arm up to his houlder, took along, deliberate, and careful im, at a distance of about two rods, and blazed The report was tremendous. Sam's hat went about ten feet one way, the gun flew out ethis hunds and went twice as far another, while Sam staggered back a rod or so, and sat down ker-shug, on the ground, where he re- mained silent and immovable, to the great ex- ultation of the peepiug Jerre, for the space of three minutes, when he picked up, first himself, then his hat, then his gun, then the mutilated remains of the bird; looked round to see if Jerre was lovking, carefully brushed the dirt from his cloths, and came around to the front of the barn, where he found Jerre with a sober face, swinging his flail like a good one. Ho stopped 4 moment to ask Sam— ~ Did you kill the king bird?” “« There's the feller,”’ said Sam, as he threw him down, and the two cronies parted without saotier word Some weeks passed on, and the matter was notatluded to byeither party. Sam recognized fally the /ex tale ts, and treasured up in his mind that “Jerre never loaded that ere gun chuck full of powder for his own ghootia,’’ and Jerre kept his eyes open for the expected sockdolager’’ from Sam. Bat after a while, his watehfulness in a great measure relaxed, and he rather come to the conclusion that Sam had forgotten it. Well Jerre’s birthday came along and so he aid Sam concluded ‘twas best to celebrate a little, and the old mare was harnessed into the rickety Concord wagon, the black jug tuck- ed away into the strawin the bottom, and off the two cronies put for the “ Four Corners,” distant perhaps four miles. There they stayed allday, smoked their pipes, drank their flip with the poker arcompaniiment, played draughts and told stories with their cronies of that ilk, sitting “ Rousing at the nappy, A getting fou and unco happy,” till the “wee sma’ hours ayont the twal,”’ when the jug was replenished, the mare was harnessed in, and they made towards home, more than a‘ leetle sprung.”’ For some dis- tance they went safely and harmoniously, till they came to a fork in the road, when Sam said home was one way, and Jerre said home was the other way. Both had beeu over the road a great many times, but both were decidedly sal- ubrious, and the dispute waxed hotter and hotter. While they were debating this * pint,” they had a 1 deal settled the other pint in the jug. At last, Sam made a proposi- tion to decide the controversy that was unani- mously agreed to by Jerre. ~ L swow, Jerre Cooper, it’s no sort of use for you and me to be a settin’ herein the rain all night, « swearin’ about this derned fork in the road. the hill, and ax him.”’ * ~ Tsay that,’’ says Jerre, “ this cussed fork in the road wa’n’t here yesterday, and the Squire’ll know all about it.’ So, the unwilling mare turned her head to- wards the Four Corners agai They pad but little difficulty in finding the Squire’® house, but they have in deciding who should go in and ask him; but this was at last settled by Jerre’s volunteering to go, if Sam would tell him the way. « Now,” says Sam, “ you go inter the ,back door—there ain’t no use a Knockin’, jest open it easy go right through the entry, till yer come toe door; go through that door, turn’ to thasright, and foller the side of the room, till yePRome lo another door; go through that door, right bet op “cruss the rvgm, and the next room is where the Squire sleeps. You cap jeat tech | Let's drive back to "Squire Smith’s on | ne on the shoulder, and he'll tell you all about u So, Jerre started. He blundered through the entry; he followed the wall through the next room; he opened the next door, he took one step into the room, when his foot hit some ob- struction, he lost his balance, and, throwing out his arms, he fell, and “ what'a fall was there, my countrymen !’’ one arm up to the elbow in one earthen pan of milk, the other arm up tothe elbow in another earthern pan of milk, both knees in milk pans, his body on milk pans. his face up to the ears in a milk pan; and an astounding crash of earthern ans, making an accompaniment that struck on Jorre’s car like the knell of fate; on the Squire's like a desperate burglary ; and on Sam's, like the consummation of ail his hopes, and the destruction of all the pans on the brick floor of the Squire’s dairy, where he had with malice aforethought directed Jerre Cooper. Jorre was sufficiently sobere by the catas- ope to pacify the Squire, when he had got sufficiently over his first fright, to appreciate the ludicrous figure of Jerre, as he stood there in the dim Bos tall candle, amid broken ents of earthen pans, an inch deep in milk and cream, and milky streams flowing over him from the crown of his hat to the soles of his boots. Having squarred up with Squire Smith, he made for the door, leaving a very respectable via lactea behind him. And there was Sam, sitting ona log. as grave asa judge, and the old mare close by, equally grave. Sam opened his lips thus : “How did you like the looks of the king- bird, Jerre ?’’ “Con darn your etarnal king-bird. Brown, where’s the rum?” Here was where I left —Porter’s Spirit. I MISTAKES OF A SHORT-SIGHTED MAN. The world will searcely believe that a limited vision, or near-sightedness unfits a man for any society whatever. Yet such is the fact; I know it, for T have experienced it; and now I stay at home Rep ace On my first merging into manhood, I soon found that I had no friends— every one shunned me—and why? Simply be- cause I passed my acquaintances on the street with supposedcontempt. I did not know them. T soon resolved to speak to every one I passed ; ~and then,”’ thought I. in the fondness of my imagination, * there will be no mistake!’ I put my resolution at once into practice, and for a while things went swimmingly on; but at length the same result was the consequence. “What have I done now?” asked I of a friend. ‘Why am I again thrust without the pale of society ?”* “The reason is, simply,’ said he, gazing about to see that no one observed him speaking to so proseribed a being as I, “ that people are not willing to meet on terms of sociability and equality a man who claims the acquaintance of every loafer, mate or female, he may chance to meet. At Trinity Church, last Sunday, you offered your arm toa negro wench; and you were yesterday observed by a party of ladies in the act of making a profound bow to three of the most notorious courtezans in town.” reais Heavens,”’ oxclaimed I, * is it possi- le These were not the only bad effects of my po- liteness. A great six-foot whiskerando charged me with the heinous crime of insulting his sis ter, by speaking to her without the previous formality of an introduction; and it was with the greatest difficulty that I could persuade the fellow to refrain from horse-whipping me—a thing which he had tully resolved upon, and which nothing but my humble apologies, and labored explanations, joined to the entreaties of one or two of my personal friends, deterred him from putting into practice. “Happier,” thought I, “far happier, had I been born blind, for then I should at least have avoided the tissue of blunders into which I have hourly stumbled. My life has been one continued series of getting into scrapes in the Worst way, and getting out of them the best way Icould. Why am I coupled with such a destiny? Lam one of the gentlest and most inoffensive of mankind, and yet the sulkiest blackguard about town encounters not hulf the difficulties which fall to my lot.” Such were my musings, when, on the follow- ing day, [dined with afriend at one of the most fashionable hotels in the city. I was for a while, as I thought, extremely lucky, having as yet made but one fanz pas, which was mere- ly the drinking of a glass of brandy for as mach wine—a mistake, by the way, which might have oceurred ty almost any one. A tremendo stout gentleman, from Mi ppi, was seated on my left. This indivic ad just cleared his plate of a large quantity of roast beef, and was engaged in gazing ominvusly at a lobster, his shut right band, iu the mean time, resting upon the table. Unfortunately for myself, at this particular juncture [ happened to stand in need of a piece of bread; and raising my eyes in search of the necessary article, J mistook his clenched fist for a loaf. Taking up my fork very deliberately, I hitched up the sleeve of my coat, and plunged the sharp steel instrument into the fleshy part of the man's hand. With a noise between a roar and a growl, the victim jumped upon his feet, knocking down the ger- tleman who sat next him, and upsetting a waiter who was hurrying along with a large supply of custards. I. of course, jumped up, too, fright- ened, as may well be supposed, almost to death, and attempted to explain matters; but scarcely had I opened my mouth for the purpose, when I was floored by « tremendous blow from the wounded limb. directly in my face. No sooner had the avenger knocked me down, than he unsheathed a glittering bowie-knife, and advanced to annihilate me altogether. Words can not portray the horror of my emotions. I had geen the fellow carve a pig few moments before, and myself admired his dexterity in the proceeding. The company, however, interfered between the Mississippian and my destruction. My friends maie known the imperfection of my vision. and the man of the Far West became satisfied. I was borne to bed nearly sensele: and have not yet recovered from the effects of that adventure. although my physician is one of the most learned and efficient in the city. He is an Englishman, and when I related to him the occurrence, he shook his head, saying : Terrible chaps, those fellows from Missis- sippi! ‘orrible bene Wonder he didn’t cut your ed off haltogether!”’ Sam ImprRoven Straw Parer.—The experiment of making straw paper for printing newspapers has succeeded equa! to the expectations of those who introduced It. We had exhibited to us some specimens yesterday, made by Martin Nixon, after a process of h!s own invention, in which there was 75 per cent. of straw. Three different newspapers of Cincinnati have been using it, and speak very highly of its qifalities as adapted to e “ Times,’? “ Com- news r purposes. aperelait and we polksfiind 2? all speak favorably of it. The paper possesses great strength and pliability, and though less weight in the ream than cotton paper, has yreater body and wear. ‘The advan'aze of straw papers, that it keeps the price of paper from getting so high that news- pipers could not be published at their present prices. Rags have greatly Increased in cost, and he tendency, inconsequeace of the yreat demand for py er caused by the enormous editions of pop- ular journals, was constantly upward, till straw began to be used as a substitute. Since then the price has been more steady, and from the im- rovements in the processes of straw paper nak- ng, a supply of material from this source will always be available. —Patladelphia Ledger. To Get Rip or House Ante. The best way to get rid of house ants is to Lear bran ed cracked walnuts, or shell-barks, on plates, and nt them inacloset where the ants conyregute. Mey are very fond of these, and will collect in them in myriads. When they have collected in them make a general sacrifice, by turning nuts and ants together into the fire, and then replace the plates with fresh nuts. After they have be- come so thinned off as to cease collecting on plates, powder some gum camphor and put It in the holes and crevices; whereupon the remainder will xpeedily vamose.
