THOSE WILD ELEHHASTsi--We have heard the
following good story, as coming from a couple of
young gentlemen of our city-one of them is a
noted wag. Returning a short time since in bug
gy from trip to Kentucky young man, very
well dressed and apparently about eighteen years
of age, was noticed a short distance behind them.
Humor and fun had been thrown off by our wag
in his irresistible manner, until the fountain was
almost exhausted His companion had 'spread his
wings and scared aloft in the howery fields of or
atory-grand metaphors--swect ebutions of fan
cy and "thoughts that breathe and word that burn
ed'-had gushed from his lips, until he too, felt
wearied, and looked about for something new, to
beguile the hours, which soon would become long
and tiresome. The appearance of third party
Just at this time, turned out indeed, 10 be a God
send. Our wag, never at a loss TO take advantage
of any circumstance which would tend to crafty
his mirth-lovng taste-all of sudden drew down
the corners of his mouth-looked little wild about
the eyes-elevated the rim of his hat, and gave
unmisakable evidence that something Of great
moment and of fearful character would soon "turn
up" Just as he planted himself firmly in the bug.
gy, and looked the personifcation OF terror-the
stranger riding mule came up, and he thus adj

menagere, coming up the road-if you don't wish
to be killed, in Gods name, hasten on" Striking
his horse a severe lick with the whip he pass

ing word in reply or seemingly to doubt for a
moment the truthfulness of our waps story-let
into his mule with whip and spur--on, on he went
faster and switching his tail backwards and
forward, right and left and with set back, and
nosrils dilated and head horizontal he carried his
frightened rider out of sight.
The next day there were some folks who had
tender sides, which were in due time relieved by
an internal application of the "divine allatus"
