Yankee Tradiicers.

from the peoplcof Maryland. We published
it mercy to let our people see how their many
acts of hospitality are received by the Yankees
Comment is entirelS unnecessary.
HIS LIBERALITY.
When your camp is in the nsighborhood of
bis house, he sends you presents Of peaches,
pies and worm eaten apples. He cultiyatei
your acquaintance and allows his slaves to sell
you milk, and then in a little while he puts in
his bill for all his presents, and asks you d
monstrous price; and when he charges YOU
with gallons of milk where you had quarts. he
coolly assumes thst yoh shall pay for all he
sends by his negro, and not for the moletv
which you receivc. And then, when you tell
him to go where he is not due until he departs
this life, he comes down several pegs and calls
it misunderstanding.
HIS HOSPITALITY.
You ride up, hungry as a wolf, to his gate
Their is no tavern for miles. He informs YOU,
with princely and baronial air, that he has
entertained thousands and never took plea
yunc from tiny man; that no onc was ever
turned from his, door, and says, "Gcntlcmen,
wont you alght?" You go in; he gives you
good coffee, greasy ham and water-oggcd po-
tatoes (he is unusally just out of butter,) and
when, like a Northern mudsil, you offer him
pay, hc says: "No, sir; can always give y
gentleman a meal without pay; tlpts for tire
women or niggers: | never take no pay my
sell" And so you pay the women or niggcrs
double price for a poor meal, and he takes the
money away from them as quick as your bacll
| is turned.
HOW NE rEAIis Il FoRAei. .
You pitch your camp in his neighborhood.
lie has straw stack half thistles and the rest
weeds. You are in hurry, and the quartcr-
master is busy; he won't sell anything, and
you take what you want, hc suggesting that
as the easiest course, and talking good naturcd-

next day he goes to Baltimore, tells his own
story to Cereal Wool, and you get repili't-
