The three young men grinned and chuckied
! George Tucker turned red.
Hooray for You, Sally = sung ont oil
| Snaps. You're three-decEer, eff ever ther
was un =
Again George Redeemed, fdgeted on hi
chair and at last said in disturbed, but quit
distinct voice
think the apples are good Miss Sally,
the name don't quite suit you
Tie names too bad to be good. Sir ! re
torted Sally, with a decided stiff and toss @
the head. Old 'Zekle gave low laugh ane
nterfered
You see, George Tucker, these here time:

Oh, father = burst out Sally, do yor
think that's all that ails wnneu 2. wouldu' ;,
care if | eat Samp forever. and had nothing but
saxifax tea but csut stand by cool, aud
see men driven Ike dumb beasts by another man
if he has got crown, and never be let speak
fer themselves =
SaIly's logic was rather confused, but George
got at the idea as fast as was necessary.
If twas common man, Miss Sally but
Kings set up Gil high by the Lord and We
ought to obey what He sets over US
don't See where i'll Scriptur YOU get that
idee, George retorted Z,kIe.
Well it says in one place you're to oGey
them that has the rule over you, sir
SO it do but eff the king han't got nc
rewl over us, Gan it looks mighty Ike it jes
nos. why, don't sees we're bound to lIlnd
him y
This astutc little sophism confonnded poor
George for minute, during which Sally began
to giygle violently, and tlIrt i'll her rustic fash
ion with the three rebels in a row. At length
George, recovering his poise aud clear-sighted-
edEes>, resumed
But he did rule over us, Mister Parsons,
and can't see how it 5 right to rebel
There don't everythin' come Jest square
about seem things, interposed Long Snaps
folks had better steer by facts sometimes, t.al
by yarns. It's jest like v'yagn' yew do'no'
suntimes what's to pay with a compass it'll
go all p'ints to once ; mebbe somebod's got a
Ratchet near by, or some lubbcr's thrown a
chain down by the pinnacle, or some darnetl
things got inside ont, Or it's shipped sea an
got rusted ; but there's alters tie Dipper an
the North Star they'r alters tue to their
bearn's, and You cant go to Davy Joncs's
locker for want OF light'us SO longs they're
ahead. calk late it's jcs so about this king
talk orders is very well when they aiu't agil'
common sense an the rights O ntatur but
you see, George Tucker, folks will go cordin to
to natur' in gineral, an reason, if there's forty
paramnts an kings in tow. Natur's jest Ike
a newest squall you can't do nothin' but
tack against it and no man is gon' to stan
still and See the wind taken ont O their sails
an their liberty flung to sharks, without one
mutny to show why
Not burst out Sally, who had stopped
flirting, and been listening with soul aud body
to Long and 70 man, that IS a man, will &c
against the right and truth just because the
wrong is strongest =
This little feminine insult was too much fol-
George Tucker, particularly as he had not the
least idea how its uttcraucc burned Saly's lips
and made her heart ache. He got up from hl>
chair with a very bitter look on his handsome
face.
L see,' said he, quite coldIy, l am likely
to be scarce welcome here | believe the K inc
is my master, made SO by the Lord, and think
it is my honest duty to obey him. 1t hurts mt
to part otherwise than kind with fir ends but
| wish sou good night, and better Judgment.
There was something so manly i'll Georges
speech, that, bat fer its final iliny and pcrso.,
ality, every man in the room would have crowd
ed round him to shake hands but what maj
cody ever heard his Judgment impeached
S.,n, "A I,,t II,

bowed as calmly to Mr.. George as if he Only
said adeu after ar ordinary call.
Aunt Poll snuifled, and followed George t.
the door Uncle Xkic drew himself III
straight, and looked after him, his clear blut
eyes sparkling with two rays--onc of honest
patriotic wrath, Que of affection and regret fol
George willie Long, from the corner, cyet
all with serpent's wisdom in his gaze, oracu

Sparks, the biggest of the three, surprising
Sally into little hysterical laugh, and surpris
ed himself still more at this unexpected SC
quence to his remark.
