"Take care what you say,n said the
landlord "you are not aware that | keep the
best house IN all this country, and that my
wife is famed for the cleanliness Of her
house and bcds!"
Can't help it," replied the dandy, very
deliberately surveying himself in mirror,
"very sorry, sir-awkward business. to be

sleep in a dirty bed to please any man."
"YOu won't, won't you3"
"Nn, sir, will not"
"Thcn | will make you," said the land
lord, and scizing the astonished dandy by
the back of the neck, he led him to the bed,
and forced his face down upon it" Look at
it," continued the enraged Tennessean,

bed dirty, you PuPpyf" Then, going to
the door, he called to servant to bring a
hOrsewhip, and informed the terrified dandy,
that unless he undresscd and went to bed
instantly, he should order his negro to horse
whip him. In vain the mortified yOungster
promised TO do all that was required of him;
the landlord would trust nothing to his word,

corsets and all, and snuglv nestled under
the snow-white counterpane.

" but the question is one in which you can
have little interest; for you must seek a

"Surely, my dear sir, you would not treaI
a gentleman with such inGignity-"
"Marchm said the landlord.
"My bill -"
"You owe me nothing: I should thinl
myself degraded by receiving your money!
In another moment, the self-importan
mortal, who, the evening before, had riddcr
through the town with such consciousness
of his own dignity, vas gallOUing away. de
graded, vexed, and humbled. As he Passct
along, the same backwoodsman, who ha,
gone to ascertain the fact Of his vitality Of
his first arrival, met him, and pulling of hi
hat, said, very civilly, "Strangcr, you
girth is under your horse" The dand
reined up his stecd, jumped of, and foun
that his girth was indeed under his hnrse-
where it ought to be.
"Do YOU mean 10 insult met" exclaime
he, turning fiercely upon the backwoods
man; but the latter, instead Of replying
