C"oa ANo RICH.-Sam Slick, tells us
the following story, which. is as good IS
new;
Squire Peeg Sanford and all his family
was all of them the most awful passionate
folks that ever lived, when they chose, AMI
thcn they could keep in their temper, and
be as cool at othct time as cucumbers.-
One night old Pcleg, ms he was called, told
his son Gucom, boy Of fourteen years
old, TO 60 and bring in a backlog for the
fire. Bac&Iog, you know, Squire, in n
wood fire, S always the ggcsl stick that
one can find or carry.
Well as soon as GIcom goes 10 fetch the
the log, the old Squire drags forward the
Goals, and fixes The fire 50 rs to leave a
bel for it, and stands by ready to fit it in
10 its place Presently in comes Gucom
with lirIe cat stick, no bigger than his
leg and throws it on. Uncle Peleg got so
mad, he never says word, bat Just seized
his riding whip, and gave him an most an
awful whippcn. lie tanned his hide prop
erly for him, you mag depend. "Now,''
says he, "go sir, and bring in a proper
backlog"
"Gucom was clear grit as well IS the old
man, Cor he was chip of the old block,
and no mistake; so out he goes without so
much as Sayin' Il word, but instead of gon'
to the wood pile, he walks off altogether
and staid away eight years, till he was one
and twenty, and his own master. Well, as
soon as he was man grown, aud lawfully
oa his own hook, he took it into his head
one day he'd 60 home and see his father
and mother again, and show them that he
was alive and kickin' for they didn't know
whether he was dead or not never havin'
heard Of or from him one blessed word all
tina, time. When he arrived to the old
house, daylight was down and the lights
lit, and as he passed the keepin-room win
der, he looked in, and there was old Squire
sitiin in the chair he was eight years atorc,
when he ordered in the backlog, and gave
him such an onmarc full vhippin'' So
what does Gucom do but stops at the wood
pile, and picks up most hugaceous log,
(for he had crowd to be a most thunderi'n
big Teller then,) and openin' the door. he
marches in and lays it down on the hearth
and then lookin' up, said he
Father, I've brought you in Tho back
log"
"lncle Peleg was struck up all of a heap;
he couldn't believe his eyes, that the six
footer was the boy he had cow-hided, and
he couldn', believe his ears when he heard
him call him father; a man from the grave
wouldn't have surprised him more he was
quite ontakilized and be-dumbed for n min
ute. but he came too right OF, and was
iceo down TO ireezin point in no time"
What did YOU say" said he
That have brought You IN the back
log. sir, you sent ne out for"
Vol, then you've been Did
long time feichin' it, said he. :" that's all
| can say Draw the Goals forward, pu, i,
on, and then 60 10 bed"
"Now, that's fact, Squire; know the
parties myself; and that's wha, | do call
GOODNESS, and no misakew
