THE BULL AND THE BEES.
SUIT .LeyENaooD's LATEST ADVENTURE.

l SOb dpouL q IVA oqutt1ii oniu wv -
corr juice under ny shut, an wur Amin for
Bill Kar's on foot, and when 1 got in site owe
ole Burns, ! seed nigh onto fifty bosses and
mules hitched unto his fence. 1t wur Sici-
ly's weddin. She married Clapshaw, the
sukit rider; the same Teller hos faith gin
out when he met me maxim soda. :
Now old Burns had big black and white
bull, with a ring in his nose and the bride
tied up round his horns. They rid i'm tn
mill and SIGH like, with saddill made outen
dogswood forks and clap boards, and kivered
with old carpet, rope, eirth and stirrup
feathers, for the foot. Ole Sock, as they
called him, had jist got back from the mill,
and wur turned into the yard, saddill and
all,tu pick grass. I wur slurgiu round too,
outside the house, for they haddent axed me
in when they sot down to eat. Sock nosed
round till he fonud a big baskit which hilt
sum shattered korn, and he put in his he'd tn
git it. 1 slipped up and jerked the haDdil
over his horns. Now, George, du yu know
the nature owe a cow brute? Theys the
durndest fools owe all beasts, Callers septin
the ~Lovengoods,) fur when they gets inter
tribulation they nos nothin but to shut thur
eyes, heller, and back and keep backin.-
Well, when ole Sock found himself in dark
ness, he raised his he'd and made wun lunge
agin the house that shuck the daubin out,
then he fetched a heller that mout a bin
hearn a mile, and then sot inter an oneudin
sistim Of backin. A big eraw fish wur no
whar. First agin wun thing, then over a.
nuther, among which wus the bee bench, an
a dozen stands owe bees. This knockin
down thar bench fetched out all the bees
ftin mad; the whole air war full owe. EN-,
ready to pitch inter eny thing what moved.
The house sos onter slopin grouu, and the
yard door war even with hit; SO, Sock jist
backed in onder a double he'd owe stene, a
BLOWN and a bawlin, and the leader owe the
biggist army owe bees I ever seed at wun
time. They filed the baskit, they lodged onto
his tail til it. war as thick as a waggin tuug,
and stuck strate up in the ar at that, lookin
sorter like a ded pine kivered with ivy
They wur in fac all over him, and at wurk
with all their mites, a maxim him feel good
an hot, an improyin bis. temper mitely. Of
all the burned times ye ever hearn tell owe,
was thare and tharabouts. He cum tail fust
again the old two story Dutch clock aud
fotched hit, Dustin in the innards outen hit
the leetle wheels wur all over the floor
Next pass he fetched u pagain thefoot owe a
big, dubbil engine bedsted and rared hit on
end, punchin' U of the posts through the
glass winder. The next tale fust expe-
dirion wur agiu a katakoruered cupboard,
what soon kosehed darnation. He smashed
the glass in, upsettin hit, and tbenssomped
everything onter the shelves all to gibbets,
a tryin to- back furder in that direkshun.-
Piokil krooks, preserve jars, vinegar jugs,
seed bags, yarb punches, paragarck5bo.ils
aig baskits, and def, we're all mixed darned
permiskusly, and not wortha sortin by about
a dollar and a half. Next he got a fair back
across the rune agin the bord pertishuu; he
went thru like hit had been paper, an tuck
about six feet square of hit inter splinters an
scraps with him iutu the rune whar they
war eaten, and now the 6ten of bees, and
dancin an dodgin begun.
Clapshaw's nam were deaf as a dog-iron,
and sot at the eend of the table next to war
Sock burst thru the wall; tale end on he
cum agin her cheer, Kitten her and hit onto
the tabil. Now the squealin, an %cussin, an
smashing of things, an mixin ov vittils be-
gun. They had sot several tabi's to make
hit long enuf, so he jist rolled EN- up a top
of one anuther. And thar sot ole Missis
Clapshaw a straddil of the pile, a ften bees
like unto a mad windmill, with her >caliiker
cap in wun hand fur a wepon, and a cruet
frame in luther, an a kicken like she wur a
riding a lazy boss arter the doctur.: Taturs,
cabige, meat, supe, sop, dumplins, and the
truck you waller EN- in, milk, plates, pies,
and every durn fxiu you cud think ov in a
week, were thar mixed and smashed like
hit had been thru a thrashin masheen. Gid
Sock kept a backin, and backed the whole
pile, old oman, and all, with five or six 9TH
er Zee filters, and a few cheers, outen the big
dore and down seven steps inter the lane;
and then he turned fifteen hundred pound
summerset hisself after em, aud lit a top of
all the mixed up mess fat on his back. A
bout the time he got to his feet, ole man
Burns-you know how fat, stumpy and cross
grained he is any how-made a mad snatch
at the baskit an kotch hit, but cudent let 60
quick enuf, for old Sock just blowed, beller-
ed and histed the old Teller, heels fust, inter
the ar, and he lit on ole Socks back an he'd,
the baskit in his hand. Jist as soon as ole
blackey cud see, he tore off down the lane
(tryin to outrun the beesj so fast that ole
Burns Was a feard to try to git off so be jist
socked his fut inter the rope stirrups, and
prepared hissef fur the durndest fast bull
ride mortal man or oman ever had.
Sock took down atween the hitched horses
and the rail fence, and ole Burns ftin i'm
over the he'd with the baskit to stop him, an
then ftin the bees. 1 tell ye he kept that
baskit a movin. I'll jist be burned eff I
didn't think he he'd four or FIVE baskets. I
cud see that many at onst; we'll, Burns, bas.
kit and bull, scared every burned boss and
mule loose from the fence, sum obsarVin
bees a stoppin in each wun to help him start
fast frum the uuquiet and trubilsome place.
