The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1856-02-27

Some years ago, when preachers were very
scarce and sons of temperance we're scarcer
in the far vest it happened that Sunday was
a day set apart especially, BY common consent,
not as day of fasting and prayer, but as a
day Of dissipation and fighting, in a certain
village among the 'diggins' Of Iowa. 70 put
a stop to this the city fathers passed an ordi-
nance shutting up all the groceries within the
corporation limits. To enforce this ordinance
more effectually, they made it the positive duty
of the city marshal to go round on Sunday
morning and shutup such 'doggeries' as might
not have the fear Of the Lord and city fathers
before them. Among others who kept one of
those prescribed unpopular places, was very
! humorous Irishman, whose name, as a matter
of course, was Pat.
One fine bright Sunday morning, the city
marshal, good clever fellow, generally called
Phil, armed with a big stick, as his insignia
of office, was parading by as pompously as
ever any marshal of France fourished his ba-
ton Of office. Now it so happened, Pat was
enjoying the morning as Phil was passing By
his shop. Pat more than suspected that the
city marshal was of easy virtue as to this par
ticular duty Of his Office, and what added to
| his suspicion was the fact, that he was seldom
known to refuse a glass of pure Cincinnati
eye water So he determined to put him to
the test, and see Of what kind Of stuff he was
made. Stopping him abruptly, be says
Come in, Phil, and I'll trate you.
Phil stopped, looked all around to see if
any body was about, and finally popped in to
take little by way of easing his conscience
for being compelled to break the Sabbath in
the discharge of his official duties. As soon as
he was in, and the door fastened securely, Pat
walked inside the bar, took down the bottle of
doubled distilled and rectifed,' and setting a
glass on the counter, filled it about two thirds |
full and drank it off himself, and then cooly
replacing the bottle and glass, he was about
coming out, when Phil, who had been wonder
ing when his turn would come, rather inqur-
ingly remarked:
j thought you would treat me, if came in!'
Faith and did, replied Pat; L trated you
with contimpt.'

so by close attention to the system of dunning.
