Saving Meeting at Hornby.
do suppose that this ere blessed
old country of aourn has bin onct on
the very varge and pint of etarnal
smash since fust wore trOwsis, it has
bin in that alarmin sitovation at least
fifty times. And toe the intent and
eend that honor may begin whar hon.
or is dew. l wont it kept afore the
people as an everlastin' remembrance
-perpetooal soovner and momentus
mortis-that in all cases whar the
Union has bin gin over, perlitical doc
tors elsewhar have pronounced it in ex
tremis morton, an not likely TO live
afore mornin-Hornby has alters kim
to the rescue, and niver failed to put
thescritter on his legs lgin.
When aour folks fust heerd that
Seward and Garrison had kermitted
reserecktion in Virginny and killed
John Brown, and that the Ossywa-
times and niggers had taken Harper's
ferry bote, we were considerably
struck, I'll allow, but we didn't loose
aour presence of mind. 1t don't take
longer tew raise the spirit of Us in
aour buzzums that it duz tew git up
steam in your new fire engine. Thar's
only one pesky Niger lives into aour
town. Let alone his bein nigger, |
do spose he's abont as clever an old
critter as ever lived, but then he's a
posterity of Cane and Abel which
slew aour fust parents with the jaw
bone of an Ass, and consequently is
both agin Scripter and the Constitoo-
ton. Afore neur had passed away
among the things as never was, we'd
tore his haousen all TO smithers, an the
black cuss himself only escaped by
leavin part of his sculp an, wool emf
for a pair of mittings in the hands of
Zororable Peabody. AFTER we had
Thus ackted in accordance with the per-
visions and compromises of the consti-
tootion, we adjourned to meet aginin into
the meetinus the next mite, whar a
meetin on the state of the Union was
appinted.
When we went in the meetin- was or
ganized an Peltiah Pettitbones was
goin 1T in 2:4O speech. As the Dea-
con an / not only lickered, but ssmiled"
and then we took suithin, we only
heerd the pearoarration.
"Oyer the sky-blew sirrulian vas
tence of the everlastin hill tops" says
Peltiah, says he cup from the Peelin
antiquities, unspeakable kurruscatians
an osillated permeatons OF the howlin
wilderness, borne on all the brezes that
sweep the eternal circumanbient,
shreeked by every egel, as he rises
from his cry and scars into boundless
contiguity, hear but won cry-Union!
Union agin everything,-naow, hear
after, henceforth and forever more
Amenr -
Perhaps there want no stompin when
Peltiah sot down. Oh no, of course
there want.
