from the Indiana Patriot, which holds the
following language: "confdence is being

said British officers, as he brought his
fiery steed 10 stand ia front of Governor
Chittenden's dwelling-can you inform me
whether his honor the Governor Of Yer.
mount resides heref
He does, was the response Of the man,

Most certainly replied ,he man Of the
frock.
Take my horse by the bit then, said the
officer, have business 10 transact with
your master.
Withou, second bidding, the man dore
as requested and the officer alighted and
made his way up TO the door and gave the
pannel several hearty taps with the but Of
his whip-for be it known, in those days
Of Republican simplicity. knockers and
bells, like serven.s, were in but little use.
The good dame of the house answered the
summons in persons; and having seated the
officer, and ascertained his desire to see the
Governor, departed to inform her husband
of the guests arrival, bu. ON ascer.aining
that the officer had made hitching post Of
her husband,she Immediately returned and
informed him that the Gov.j was engaged

LAZY BILL SMITH.
CHAPTER i.

don't say that Bill Smith was the laz-
esi man that ever lived but he was decided
ly the lazies, ever saw. And will ven
ture 10 say further, that his match could mol
be found.n all Pepperelboro'. There was
where he lved-,here he lives now.
Well, Bill was a toper--for that man
never existed who was TOO lazy TO drink.
OF course he was not one Of the real tear
down. and drag out sort; but then be drank
hard, aud was generally boozy fowards
evening; for he was too lazy 10 ge. drunk
very early in the day.
One evening just about two years and
three months ago, he was very drunk
The night was cold, the wind blew 6ercely
and the light snow swept wildly over the
ground, and a,lded terror 10 the howings OF
old Borcas. That night, Bill was full two
miles from his own miserable hovel ,snugly
ensconced behind some old boxes and bar.
rels, in one corner Of filthy rum shop.
How he came there so far from -home do
not know, but will guess, tbathe happened
on board some farmers Wagon or sleigh
that passed his house, and was too lazy 10
get out ill the vehicle stopped at a little
grocery. But at any tate, Bill was there,
Two full miles from home; the night was
wild, and the ium seller wanted to shut up
his GROCERY.
Bill you must clear out said tho rum
ssller.
Bill. made no answer.
4 say Bill; yoa mus. clear out--go
home,' ~,
Bill began 10 snore; be was sleepy and
tired 10 boot; he always was.
Halo, BILL say, come crawl out and
go home; It's mos. nine o'clock
wait while,' said Bill, don't be in a
hurry--,here's nothing gained by hurry
ing
But I must shut up Bill, and 60 home.
There's nothing doing here, and can't
afford the frewood'
Bill reused mp lit!le-not much. but
little. and winked. Perhaps he would have
said something but just then the door open
cd, and stranger walked in. He had rode
long distance; and seeing light in the
rummy,' had called TO inquire how much
far!her il was 10 public house.
Just two miles and half said old
bOozle, the rum seller; 'and here's chap
that's going e'enamost there--lives right on
the road
Bill reused up little mere; perhaps
there was chance to ride, and it would
no, do 10 lose it. After little more cere-
mony, that may be imagined, and with a
little assistance that Billy actually needed,
the two go. into the sleigh and rode off
Il s'pose live here said Bill, when the
sleigh had got few rods past his house,
The stranger reigned up bis nag and Bill
got out He had begun TO get sober, and
would have thanked the gentleman for his
ride, but he was really too lazy, and SO he
josted back slowly to his own door, raised
The latch and went in.
