~ o' iaeS was HXed, and that the cusse( fashion he'd interduced was to reprove her q
 hus6an; and man of the last eve she haf shure enough, she he'd against Sunday, muster
 ed up some whoops but somehow she did,n
 look so dang tidy as the city fokes hoops. Bu
 she'd made an improvement sum how. fur il
 seemed she had on site of close. and sbod. OH to grate advantage, and seems to swim ir the are' about as easy as skipper ken swim Tn our pewter basin full ov grease. and sh, made skoots get furder about as easy as in, aforesaid skipper, could be pushed aside to af
 ford free access to the sop, which wer fried ou
 Of the old SOW that hung in our fence and didp
 stay thar too long to be good meat. Vel
 oAootS ana mann were near one door, taking over matters in regard to his union with SalI
 when some young ladies were announced a, the other dore. Sall bein out at the dore eve drapln to see how Skoots stood the affair. made an effort to skrouge between mann and skoots
 But as the old sayn is thar are no sweets with. out bitter, in the present case Sal found what war honey in her mout war gall in her coat tall, for jst as she war skougin through l hearn tearin that beet Sam Balons hell cranes for fuss. and that made sich fuss that all on, tokes prayed for the rocks and mountains to cave in on em, 1 hearn mann scream, Skoots scream, so 1 jist thot that old nick had em every one, right where Hensley had the hen. by tHs narrat've. run in. The goodness, thar was nam, with her last eye stickiu out. lone as the cracklins in the bread my sweet heart bakes for me, in hog killin time, and bleedin about as fast as Jim Dug's nose did when his wife b;t him on the aforesaid appendix with huge old Thomas cat; and thar lay Skoots yellin louder nor Barnum's Helephrit, with his mouth so wide open that seen his liver, with the homo of his leg stickn through his panterloons with as many holes as a sadders prickin iron. But Sall stood thar lookin for all the world Ike the figure head of the old ship Eve, with her coat tore wide as soap troff, and exposin her breas, entirely naked sein which Skoots stopt yellin and In wondernent were lookin at Salls putv white breast looked round to see eff powder hadn't been used as thought smelled brim- stone, but nothin of the kind was to be seen
 But goodness, thar lay my new OK bows which were now both strait, and one end of each bloody. The thing was now explained. I had jest made me two new bows and tied the ends of them together with strong string of buck skin, Sall in her wild hunt (not after officel alter whoops cum across em, she levied on em and mann helped fix em ill her skeert. The way they managed the thing was this, that with some trouble, placed the ends together, the Do part of one behind and the other before, tha didn't iasten the ends good, and as they war of lust rate hickory and sprngy as a young filly in yailer jackets nest, Sal in her quick step, busted the bows asuuder aud she was no whar Tn sprlngln to em, one of em hitin skoots on the shIn, mashin it finer than bug dust. the other hltln mann in the only eye she he'd, skeet- Ill It out tlll It looked like wart on young mules belly. l wer not sorry for Sall ablt but poor skoots and nam were sulfrin init. y, mann war now tetotally blind, my daddy havln knocked the other out about nine months or ten afore l wer born. Now Mir. Eddvtor
 uoht thlnk as some fokes about here say, that my fathers son, because she run away with Jim de'debran on that same day, we'll as thar wer strangers Tn, It war no use in tryn to keep it md from them, so tha all run in to help the wounded. But what in natur could nacil of young gals do in sch case. Well to cut matters short, Skoots leg mortifde and killed mity straight at sister Salls putty Rntd 5. 1aet Nam got over it, but she don't let Sall see no peace of her life, and sez if she lives to get her eyesight she Is gwine to make finish of OK bows whoops, and any thing else that will body or put out aeye. But Sails got some brass whoops now, and thar hant gal on Duckrun-but has em. They are so fashionable that all the grape vines are gone to the devil or sum gals coat tail, so that 1 haint bin near anuf gall to hue her since Sails explosion, as I fully intend Twin single tel the fashion dies, as am opposed to seepin with wood-pile or brass factory, for when I marry 1 want wife and not hogs head whooped around to keep it from bustin
