'Naync's expedition against the Indians
was over, aud peace was made before 90,
said BIteman duly, as he sat opposite to BIck-
oron, si!fng a coplous mixture of butter, mo-
iass,s and mu,h, or hasty pudding, which was
10 hc his supper.
You are l - liar, You - p~cdaCogue !

fcrrulc and spelling book, and leave the milf
,aty affairs to gentlemen; they are exterior TO

down a volume from the mantle piece. After
turning over a few leaves he rcsumcd his scat
and SAID, E Here IL an epitomc Of American
history, brought down to the year 1901 lie
then read a short Paragraph which confirmed
has assertion, when banding the book towards
Bckcrion, he said, That IS what my boys
learn, SIR. Would YOU like TO see it in the
book, MAJOR.
NO; yon arc - fool and an insolent Ii.

'Onc mark OF a fool, said Batcman, MS d,ily
as ever. IS to fly into n passion aud call names
about n trile and one maik Of n liar is to
pcrscvcrc IN a false assertion ~ the face of eyi-
dence 10 the contrary
The Yankee hln no sooner spoken these
words, stirring his mush all the while, than the
cnragcd bully lifted the case knife in hand and
flung IT violently at Blteman's head. The
Yankee, though seemingly intcnt on his mnsh
which he had now thoroughly lmbucd with
mplasses and butter, kept watch with the cor
ner ol his eye, and lodged the knife as IT flew
whlzAlng towards his head. At the same time,
dropping his spoon, lac slipped his palm under
hs plate and adrotly dashed II, musl fore
NEST, plump IN the ducllisi's face. The cen
tire at the rcchIng mass struck the nose which
operating rs n wedge, caused the clnmmy sup
per OF the Yankee 10 spread itself with accom-
modating facility over the whole fiery yisnge
OF the duclllst, and stop mp every hole and fill
up every hollow IN sad vIsagc-the eyes and
cars no, excepted. 4 considerable quantity
became cnianglcd 10 the huge bu>hy whisk-
ers; the supcrfluity gliding down with the
plate made n %lodgmenl in the bosom and the
manifold commissions of the fri that stuck out
prominently in front. Happily for the duel
list, the operation of miving and compromising
the plaster had SO reduced lis temperature,
that II was not quite scalding hot, and the
oyelids had InslIuctvcly closed on the ap-
proach of the slap dash application, or those
late glazing cycballs would never again have
directed a pistol ball nj the heart of an enc
my.
Hc was led 10y the hand into the back porch.
where after tea minutes washing, the onfces
and cavities of hus face were cleared of the adj
heslvc mixture, and lie was able again TO see
and hear, smell and speak. When he found
his organs fee though he still wept blood from
the rude contact of the heavy pewter plate, he
began TO roar out torrents OF natas, lmprcca-
tons and threats against the Yankee, who had
begun t" feed ms hunger upon the second
plate Of hasiy pudding as # nothing had hap
pencd. In spite of the cntfcatics OF the com
Pany, the ra'lng bully started up stairs for hs
pistols, wearing M the most awful manner,
that he would shoot the offending pcdagoguc
upon the spot.
Presently he was heard on la. return, ours.
