I found written copies of the abore highly in- telligible and vindictive proclamation stuck up on every blacksmith shop, doggery, and store door in the Frog Mountain range. Its blood- thitaty, vindictive spirit, its style, and, above all. ite chirography, interested me to the extent of stealing one from a tree for preservation. In a few days I found Sut in a good crowd in front of Capehart’s small doggery, and as he specexes to be about “in tune,” I read it to m. ‘Yes, George: that ar dockymint am in earnest, sartin.

But I'll tell ye one thing, George; that nile a neibor gall got an orful cou- founded stroppin fram her mam with the stir- rup lether ov a saddil, an old Passon Bullin had et supper thar that nite; an what's wus nor all, she cooked it fur him, an begged him a trimb- lin an cryin not tu tell on ber, the durned, in- fernal, hiperkritkali, pot-bellied, whisky-wast- ing old Frond bog, but I paid him furit all, ef Thaint I will, I mean tu keep a payin ov him all the time. Well, at nex biz meetin at Ratil Snaix, I wur on han, assolemn as a hat ker- rier at collection time, far I had promised the old hog tocuman behave. jist to keep him from * killin me. I tuck a seat on the steps oy the pulpit to prove wurin yearnest. Ther wura monstrous crowd in that grove, an old Bullin Wur a preachin tu em atan orful rate—how the Hell Sarpints wud serve em ef they did'nt re- pent—how they'd crawl over them, rap thar tails roun thar necks, poke thar tungs inter thar eyes and blow inter thar years. An he hed em hot, hollerin, and seared; the fac is, the nas « wus a wurkin powerful. Now, I'd kotch five big grey lizzards. an hed em @ a little nar- rer beg. what I made a tails all at the bottom, on packed as tite asa bundle ov sticks. So, while he wur a rarin onto his tip- toes, onbenowenst tu anybody, I ontied my poke @n put the mouth upunder his britches leg, an gin their legs a squeese and a shake, when they all tuk up his bar leg, makin ove a nise sorter like squirrills a climbin a shell bark hickory a pped preachin an looked for a moment i @ wur a listuin fur sunthing, sorter like sow dus when she hears you whistle fur the dogs. I ad a big groan, and hilt my hed atween my knees. m he commenced a slapin ov hisself whar he cut the steak outen a beef, then he'd fetch a rub whar a hoases tail Sprouts, then he'd stomp, then run his hand atween his waisban au his shurt, an reach dowa an roun mitily with it—then he spred his big legs an giv his back a good shakin, sort ov a rub agin the pulpitsorter like a hog seratches in a stump; a leaning to his work powerfal, an squirmng giveraily zif he'd jist cum outen a dog bed, or had slepon a pisanttrail. About this time wun ov my lizzards (seared an hurt, I spose, by all that rubin an scratchin an slap- pit) poked his head out atween the passon’s shut collar an his old brown neck. tuek a peep at the circumstances, and dodged back agaia. Old Buliin’s — now cum to him; his eyes stickin out like two buckeyes flung agin amud wall, an his veice tremblin: Bexthe Bretherin, take keer ove yersefs; the Sar- ints her got me!” Sum ove the wimmin otch a painter yell, and a ramrod legged doc- tor what sot ¢, allowed it wur a clar case of Delicious Tremendjus, and £ thot he wurrite; for. it tur tremendjus afore it was dan with.

Then he gin a sort ove shake an a twist. and he come outen his britches, an he tack em by the bottom ove the.legs and #rung em round bis head a few times and tha fotch em down cherallup over the front of the pulpit. You could've hearn the emash a quar- ter ove a mile’ Nigh onto about fifteen short- ened biskit, a briled chicken’ with his legs crossed, a big dubil biaded knife, a slab ove terbacker. a pipe, sum copper ore speciments, a heep of brokin glass. a cork. a sprinkil ove whisky, » squt and three ave my lizzord flew permiskusly over that ar meetin’ ground, outen the upper ind ove them big flax britches.

[From the Boston Post, Dec. 29.} We are assured by a friend who is personally cognizant of what he states, that the following piquant correspondence is genuine. A gentle- man whose business calls him a good deal from home, is accustomed to give the custody of his correspondence to his wife, an intelligent lady, who, in obedience to instructions, opens all let- ters that come in her husband's a sence; an- swers all such of them as she can, like a confi- dential clerk, and forwards the rest to her liege lord at such places as he may have desig- nated at his departure. During a recent ab- sence of her husband, the lady received a letter, of which the following (omitting names, dates, and places,) is a true copy : “My Dear Sir: I saw a fine picture of you yesterday and fell in love with it, as I did with the original in W—— last winter, when I saw you more than an hour, though I suppose you did uot see me among so many. I fear you will think me forward in thus addressing you ; but I trust you are as noble and uns cting as you are handsome and brilliant. erhaps you would like to know something about me— your ardent admirer! Well, lam not very good at description, but I will say Iam pot married, (though you are, I am told.) My friends tell mel have nota pretty face, but only a good figure. [am ater petite, have black eyes, black hair, and a dark complexion —that is, [ am what is called a ‘brunette.’ I am stopping for a few weeks with my brother- in-law and sister in this town, and I dearly wish you would meet me there before I return to W——. At any rate do not fail to write me at least a few words to tell me whether I shail ever see you again, and know you more inti- mately. Forgive my boldness, and believe me, “Your friend, —.” To this letter the wife, who, by the by, has not the least knowledge of the person to whom she was writing, made the following answer: “* Mademoiselle : Your letter of the — inst., addressed to Mr. —, was duly received. Mr. ——, who is my husband, directed me, when he left home some days ago, to open all his let- ters, and to answer any of them that I conve- Biently could As you seem to be rather im- | sete Iwill answer your letter myself. I lo not think your description of yourself will lease Mr. ——. I happen to know that he islikea black eyes, and hates brunettes most pecidedly. It is quite true (xs you seem to Suppose) that be judges of women as he does of horses; but Ido not think your inventory of our ‘points’ is complete enough to be satis- actory to him. You omit te mention your height, weight, wind, speed, and {here the word is illegible.| Taking your charms at your own estimate, | doubt whether they will prove sufficiently attractive to draw him so far as B— seely for the satisfaction of com- paring them with the schedule: You say you trust my husband is unsuspecting.’ I think that is his nature, but yet he is used to draw- ing inferencos, which are sometimes as unkind as suspicious. You say you are uumarried. My advice to you is that you marry somebody, as soon as possible. In most cases I would not recommend haste; bat in yours, I am con- vineed there is truth in the proverb which speaks of the danger of delay. Should you be #0 fortunate as to get a husband (whic! may God mercifully grant!) my opinion is that you will consider any woman, who would write him such a letter as this of yours, impertinent, and, perhaps. immode:t. ~ Twill deliver your note to Mr. —— when he returns, and also a copy of my reply, which Lam sure he will approve. Iam. with as much respect ag you permit, ins. ——.”’ This was the end of the correspondence. rr How tus Harp Tins arrectep, Youna Axurica.—Mr. Fenno, the courteous parquette office keeper at the Boston Theatre, relates the following good one: For nee of years or more a smart little specimen of Young America has been in the habit of attending the afternoon performance at the Boston Theatre. When he first commenced his patronage he remarked to Mr.Fenno that he should like to oceupy acertain seatin the parquette, and so regular were his visits, Mr. Fenno laid aside the check for the de- sirel set with as much ceremony and certainty as if the a of the seat was a principal stockholder. For several weeks during the pre- sent winter the check has not been called for, but on Saturday the youre gentleman appeared at the window, which he is just able to reach by standing on tip-toe, and demanded the favorite seat. Mr. Fenno at once recognized the appli- cant as an old customer, and expressed a regret that hehad been sick. “ ** replied young America, ‘but the truth is, Mr. Fenno, finan cial embarrassmentshave keptmeaway, [can assure you, sir, this is the first quarter I have bad for four weeks. The fact is, Mr. Fenno, the hard times.have knocked me higher than a kite.’’—Buston Bee. ——— “ Great Ortaixat Stony.’’—A dark frown overspread the handsome and courtly featares of Fernando, the Rover. “Why, why,” he asked, brandishing his silver-handled sword fu- riously around, “will you not believe me, my beauteous Mariade Argyle!
