kickimg a YanIkee.

A very handsome friend Of ours, who
few weeks ago was Poked out of com.
Portable Office up the river, has betaken
himself to Bangor, for a time, to recover
from the wound inflicted upon his feelings
by our "unprinciplsd and immolating ad-
ministration."
Change of air must have had an instant
effect upon his spirits, for, from Galena, he
writes US an amusing letter, which among
other things, tells of desperate quarrel
that took place on board Of the boat be-
tween real live dandy tourist, and real
live yankee settler. The latter trod on the
toes Of the former threatened to '.kick out
Of the cabin" the latter.
"You'n kick me out Of this cabinR!''
uYes, sir, I'll kick you out of this cabinl"
you'll kick me MIR. Hitchcock out Of
this cabing7"
"Yes, sir, III kick goa Mr.. Hitchcock!''

coosy, after being perfectly satisfied that il
was himself who stood in such imminent
peril Of ASSAULT guess, since you talk
of kicking, you've never heard me tell about
old Brady and my mare, there, to hum?,
''No, sir, nor do / wish -"
oval, guess it won's set you back much,
any how, as kicking's generally best to be
considered on. Yeu see old Brady is one
of these sanctimonious, long faced hypo-
critics, who put on religious suit every
Sabbath morning, and with a good deal Of
screwing manage to keep it on till after
sermon in the afternoon; and as was n
Uniyersalist, he alters picked me out as
subject for religious eonveIsation-and the
darned hypocrite would talk about heaven,
hell and the devil-the crucifxion and
prayer, without ever winking. Wal, he had
an old roam mare that would jump over any
fourteen rail fence in Illinois,. and open any
door in my barn that hadn't paddock on it.
lTu or three times found her in my stable,
and told Brady about it, and he was VERY
Esorry'-'an unruly animal'-'would watch
her, and hull lot Of such things, ali said
lin very serious manner, with face twice
as long as old Deacon Farrar's on Sacrament
day. | knew all the time he was lying, and
$50 watched him and his old roam to; and
for three nights regular, old roam came to nv
stable about bed time, and Just at daylight
Brady would come, bride her and ride of.
/ then just took my old mare down to !
blacksmilh's shop, and had some shoes made
with 'corks' about four inches long, and haC
'em nailed on to he. hind feet. Your heels
mister, amt nothing TO 'em. l took he
home, give her about ten feet halter, ant
tied her right ii the centre Of the stable
fed her well with oats about nine o'clock
and after taking good smoke, went 10 bed
knowing that my old mare was q truthtell
. ling animal, and that she'd give good re
lport Of herself in the morning. / hadn'
