horse well lodged at the barn, and entered the
house where he found party of Southern gen
tlemen assembled on their return from horse
race. The Yankee during the evening amused
the company with jokes.
In the morning on preparing to mount his
horse to resume his journey, he found him too
lame toProceed any further. In this dilemma
the SouthernerS found him in the yard, where
they were preparing to mount some of their
racers. Says one to the Yankee
My friend, we have heard much of Yankee
wits and tricks; do show us Il trick before YOU
leave u.s.
The Yankee attempted to assure them that
ne was mo- witty, nor had he any tricks to ex-
hibit, but in vain.

He stopped to claim the bet; but then he dis

mortified SOutherner, as he forked over the
money.

The Yankee mounted his horse, and set off
at steady pace. But just as the Southerncr
had run forward some rods, and was about to
jump up behind, to his infinite chagrin he saw
the Yankee face about, riding with his back to
the horses head. The Southerner looked fire
brands and daggers-and continued to lool,
until the Yankee and his horse were out of
sight, and he has never seen either of them
