All this remads me OF an occurrence of the oldeu
time, whereal have laughed, and perhaps you may:
Toxins was delivering himself of some rather

somewhat in this style: " And now you id villain,
you sneaking dOg-ear'd puppy, mean to grind up
my foot and make a soab6ard for it in your loath-
some carcass" Bynum, who had listened with an
air Of bewildered astOnishment to the whole inyec-
tive, without Onoe looking at the inveigher took my
arm, and, after walking some distance in silence,
remarked; 81 am very exoitable man, and, when
reused, very exceedingly dangerous. do not wish
to trust my judgment in this matter, and having
full confidence in yours I'd like to obtain your de-
liberate opinion. DO-yOu-not-thinl the general

decidedly not; that viewed them as the nest
! guardedly general remarks had ever heard, and
most particularly the concluding climax. Bynum
was msgnanimously disposed to accept my interpre-

armed with an old buggy shaft, which he was in

Anent these popular beigerent WhrlpOOls in life's

with hOop-pole. It might have been nuskmelOn,

! You have often heard, but perhaps never ventured

lsnts, generous, good man, and tip-tOp landlord
and wit; but he certainly caught it once: A trsv-
eler called very late for breakfast the meal was
hurrisdly prepared. Thompson, feeling that the
''feed not quite up to the mark, made all sorts
of apologies all round the eater, who worked in
silence, never raising his head beyond the Affirmative
influence of his fork, or by any act acknowledging
even the presence Of mine host. This sulky de-
