No offence Given.

A man of our acquaintance, in his early DAYS,
was the possessor of rather more than ordinary
talents, ans has been always noted for his quick
perceptions and ready adaptation of answers to
questions given him, but is now, from various
causes, at times raving lunatic. These de-
monstrations were evinced more particularly du-
ring thunder storms and violent gusts of wind,
which he averred were visitations of displeasure
from the Almighty. While stopping with
friend who, by the way, was fond of question:
ing " Uncle Porter" to here his readily turned
answers, he was aroused one night by furious
gale of wind.
The poor lunatic could not sleep; he got out
of bed and was standing by the window when
his friend observing him, asked
Why don't you stay in bed, Uncle Poror1"
' Because I'm afraid
What are you afraid off, his friend asked
again.
" Afraid of God to be sure, have given Him
offence, and He shows His displeasure in the
wind"
" Ant you afraid of the deuHl" wickedly in
terrogated the way
:" No. blunty replied Uucle Porter, " hare
nerer offended hm !"

all conceivable things, were seen on every hand.
Negroes driving mules, carrying mortar, laying
brick, carpentering, blacksmithing negroes
whistling, singing, crying-but noticed they
were busiest who had some one to take notice
of their activity, and who would kindly re-
mind them Of any remissness or inadvertance,
with a billet of wood or "a brickbat. This l
have seen repeatedly done. The Sheriff Of the
village had u real labor-saving expedient, which
is common throughout the South. When any
person was wanted in Court, he would 90 to
window in the second story, thrust his head out,
and shout the persons name thiee times at the
top of his voice; being possessed of stentorian
lungs his call could easily be heard over the
whole village.
The first night stayed in o., the mus
quitoes came near carrying me off bodily, and
the next night the blood-thirsty bed bugs were
bound to pick my bones and use up what little
there remained of me. They were 50 numer-
GUS and so very rapacious that without much
stretch of the Imagination. they reminded me
of the man, who, getting "uneasy " in the
night, woke up and found monster bed bug
seated on the head -boaad "picking his teeth
,oith the poker :"
The second day of my stay in O., was the
Sabbath, and attending the first Presbyterian
Church, became fully initiated into the mys-
teries of congregational singing. The good old
deacon pitched an ancient tune, and the minis.
ter lined out" the hymn; i. e., read two
lines which were sung by the whole congrega-
ton, at the close Of which two more were read
and sung, and so on through the whole hymn.
have since learned that this is the universal
custom throughout Sou uthwestern Kentucky
At this Church the negroes all sat in the gal
lery.
Journeying ono day past the kitchen of my
hotel looked in, and as consequence lost my
appetite for week afterwards. never invaded
the dominions of the black cook after that,
during stay of nearly five months in Slave
States.
The day commenced my journey towards
the interior was such an one as Northerners sell
dom experience. 1t was truly lovely day
The sun shone undimmed, and tbe sky had that
soft, dreamy appearance peculiar to the warmer
ATTITUDES. The trees had MT yet put off their
green foliage, and the oak, and yam, and beech,
seemed to vie with each other in stateiness and
grandeur.
This part of the Stat is much broken; hill
and valley succeed hill and valley, and you are
always sure to go down as much as you 60 up.
There is but little that yerhoiser w0ald call
waste land no mountains and no high hills
so the trees always spindle up against the sky
at short distance making but poor landscapes
but very good farms.
Although Kentucky was admitted into the
Union, and settlements commenced but few
years subsequent to the admission of Vermont
large portion of its Southwestern territory ye
remains wilderness. ExTERMUs.

rods Of our rifles would reach, but in vain
Moving quietly to little distance, we laid down
upon the ground and watched for q long time,
silent and motionless. BY and by cautious
old burgher would slowly put forth the end Of
his nose, but instantly draw it in again. Apoth-
er, at greater distance, would emerge entirely,
but catching glance of US, would throw a
sumerset, and plunge back again into his hole.
At length, some who resided on the opposite side
OF the village, taking courage from the contin,
ued stiffness, would steal forth and hurry off to
distant hole, the residence, probably, of some
family connection or gossipping friend, about
whose safety they were solicitous, or with whom
they wished to compare notes about the
late occurrences. Others still more bold, assem-
bic in little knots in the streets and public pla-
ces' as If to discuss the recent outrages offered
to the commonwealth, and the atrocious mur-
derers of their fellw burghers.
We rose from the ground, and moved forward
to take nearer view of these public proceed
ings, when yelp yelp yelp there was u
shrlll alarm passed from mouth to mouth the
meeting suddenly dispersed feet in twinkling
in the air in every direction, and in an instant
all had vanished into the earth. The dark of
the evening put an end to our observations, but
the train of whimsical comparisons produced in
my brain, by the moral attributes which | had
heard given to these little polite animals, still
confined after my return to camp and late in
the night, as lay awake after all tile camp was
asleep, and heard in the stiffness of the hour, a
lalnt c'amor of shrill voices from the village, |
could not help picturing to myself the inhabi-
tants gathered together in noisy assembly and
windy debate, to devise plans for the public
safety, and to vindicate the invaded rights and
insulted dignity of the republic.
