tive ofthis land, who was standing quietly |
on the "'dowalk; you are ascoundrelw
That snews to me, y returned the Yankee |
quietly.
News, you scoundrel! Do you call that
news?"
Entirely So"
You needn't think to parry it off so easy
| say you arc scoundrcl, and can prove
81 beg you will not; shouldn't like to be
proved u scoundrcl"
No, dare say YOU wouldn't but answer
me immediately ely-did you, or did you not say
in the presence of several ladies of my ac-
quaintancc, that was a"

calf?"
go. no, sir, call YOU nothing"
Its well you do; for had you presumed to
call me "a
Man, should have been grossly mista-
Do you mean to say that am not a MANI"
'That depends upon circumstances"
W hat circumstances"
off should bc called rs evidence in n court
of justice, should be bound to speak the
truth"
"And would say that was not n man.
hey? DO you see that cow-skin?"
Yes, and have seen it with surprise ever
since you came up"
What surprise? Why, do you suppose |
was such coward dare not undertake TO
use the article when it was demanded ?"
Shall tell you what | thought?"
O. Do it, if you dare"
"l thought to myself, what use has a calf
for q cows skin?"
You distinctly call inc calf thcn?"
Ii you insist upon it you may"
"You hear gentlemen" speaking to the
| bystanders, "youhe the insult What shall
do with tho scoundrcl?"
"DrcSs him. dress him! !" shouted the
crowd, with shouts of laughter"
That I'll do Mt once"
Turning to the Yankee he cried out force
ly:"
" Como on, step this way, you rascal and
l'll ilog you within an inch Of your life"
"Fve no occasion"
| "Nou'rc a coward"
" Not on your word"

"lt'li be much bcttcr for your pocket; calf
skins arc in good demand"
/" shall burst"
"Not here in the street, beg of YOU"
Gcntlemcn, can any longer help fog
at him"
Thus provoked, thus stirred up and cncour-
aged, the fierce gentleman went like light
ming Mt the Yankee.
But before Inc could srikca blow, he found
himself disarmcd of his cow-skin, and living
on his back under the spout of ncighboring
pump, whittier the Yankee had carried him
to cool his rage; and before he could recover
from his astonishment at such unexpected
handling, he was as wet as drowned rat
from the cataract of watcr which his antago-
INST had literally pumped upon him.
His courage had, by this time, like that of
valiant Bob Acres, "oozed out at the palms
OF his hands" and he declared, as he arose
and went dripping from the pump, that he
would never trust to appearances again and
the old Harry himself might undertake to
cowhide cool Yankee for all him.
