COUSINING.

We think it about time to again put the
following good story in circulation:
A country gentleman, severa! years ago,
visited Boston, and Immediately repaired to
the house ola relative, lady, who had mar
ried merchant. The parties were glad to
see him and invited him to make their house
his home Gas he had declared his Intention
OF remaining in the city but day or two.)
The husband of the lady, anxious to show
attention to relative aud friend Of his wife,
took the gentleman's horse to Il livery stable
in the neighborhood Finally, his visit be-
came visitation, and the merchant, after
the lapse of eleven days, found, besides lodg-
ing and boarding the gentleman, pretty
considerable bill had run up at the livery
stable. Accordingly he went to the man who
kept the stable, and told him when the gentle
man took the horse he should pay his bill. "
Very good,' said the stable keeper; i
understand you
Accordingly in short time, the country
gentleman went to the stable and ordered
his horse to be got ready The bill of course
was presented.
co. said the gentleman, sNIr. -, my
relative, will pay this
Very good, sir said the stable-keeper; !;

GOOD JOKE ON T0OMBS.

A correspondent of one of the New York
papers says that Senator Toombs made
speech last summer to large crowd of his
constituents, which he wound off in the fol-
lowing ridiculously boastful style:
"Now, fellow citizens, I have responded
to Jour call. I have fully and clearly ez-
planned to you my opinions on this subject,
and if there is a man in this vast assembly
who disputes my conclusions or denies my
promises, should like to see him. Let him
rise up and object to anything have said if
he can! I 1efy opposition 1 challenge
debate !"
Having thus challenged the whole world
and the rest Of mankind to forensic encoun-
ter, he took his seat with an air Of triumph
that Napoleon never manifested. and prob,
ably never felt. He was for q moment loud
ly applauded, but as the applause HE'D away,
a rough-looking eountryman, full six feet
high, in his shirt sleeves, in the outskirts Of
the crowd stretched himself at full length
and said:
"Colouel Toombs-J am no orator, and
I'm not gwine to try to make speech a.
gin great man like you. You remind me
of young mule was trying to break yes
terday morpin'.
at was long time before we could get
him out'n the stable Just like it was long
time before We could git you to speak. Af-
ter working with him an hour or two, we
slipped rope around his neck, and after a
while another one. put two negro fellows
to hold the ropes, and | opened the stable
door, and out he comes raring and pitch
ing He rared and pitched, and tore around
with the niggers a holding of him Forawh'e
Presently he began to kick and to squeal, and
he kicked and he squealcd, and he squealed
and he kicked, until everything was blue !;
and his eyes looked like they'd pop ont, and
to save my life, Colonel, couldn't tell wheth-
er he was kicking at his squeals, or s1ueal-
ing at his kicks! Your speech, Colonel, re-
minds me of that mule p
