"CAUGHT ON THE JURY"

An exchange gives the following for a fac''
and we publish 1t for the particular benefit
of upsuspectipg wives whose husbands are
30 unfortunate rs to get stuck on the jury:
A certain man, who lived about ten miles
from D, was in the habit of going to town
about once a month and getting on a regular
''spree," aud would not return until be had
time to "cool off," which took him generally
two or three day. His wife vas ignorant OF
the cause Of bis staying out 80 long, ana SUI
fered greatly from anxiety about his welfare
When he would return, Of course his conn
ding wife would inquire what had been the
matter with him, and the invariable reply
wae, "that he was caught on the jury, aud
couldn't get off," 49,.
Having gathered his corn, and placed 1t in a
large heap, he, according to custom, deter
msned to call in the neighbors and have a
real corn-shucking frolic. So he gave Ned
a faithful servant, ajug, and an order to 20 to
town aud get a gallon of wbiskey "a verv ne,
cesssry article on such occasions. Ned
mounted a mule and was sooniD town, and.
equipped with the wbiskey. remounted to set
out for home, all buoyant with the prosF ect OF
fun at "shuckiug." When be had proceeded
q few hundred yards from town, he concluded
to try the "stud," and, not satis6ed with once,
he kept trying until the world turned arrund
90 fact that be turned of the mule, and there
be went to sleep and the mule to gazing 1t
was now nearly night, and when Ned awoke
it was "just before the break o day" and so
dark that he was unable to make any start
towards home until light. As soon as bis
bewildermsnt bad subsidized so that be could
ge. the "poiuts," be started with an empty
5ug-the whiskey having run ous-and a'oot;
for the mule had gone on home. or course
he vas contemplating the application OF a
''two years old hickory" or q piece OF twist
ed cowhide, as be went on at the rate OF two
forty. Ned reached home about breakfast
time, and fetched up" at the back door With
. decidedly guilty countenance.
What in the thunder have you been at
you black ~rsscali" said bic master.
Ned. Knowing his masters excuse to DIS
wife when he got on a spree, determined 10
tell the truth il he died for it, and said:
"Wen, massa, to tell the truth was koteh
on the jury and couldn't eetof."
