An Bs1e On the Mule.
81 JOSH BILLINGS.

"Burdick" and who does not know
Burdick the Stage Agent-haa clipped
the following from an exchange and says
he can vouch for Joshs assertions in ev-
~ particular as can "any other man" who
has travelled from this point to Fort Alb.
ercrombie daring the. past summer:
The mule is haf boss and hat jackass,
and then comes to stop, natur diskover-
ing her mistake. Tha weigh more akor-
din to their heft, than emmy other kreet-
er; except crowbar. Tha kant hear en-
ny quicker, nor further, than the boss,
yet their ears are big enough for snow
shoes. You kan trust them with emmy
one whose life amt worth more than the
mules. The only va to keep them into
a pastcr, is TO turn them into a mcdder
jinein, and let them jump out. Tha are
reddy for use just as soon as tina will du
tn abuse. Tha haint got emmy more
friends than Chatham street Jew and
will live on hucklebeny brsub, with an
occasional chase ut kanada thissels.- Tha
are modern invensun': don't think the
Bible deludes to them at tail. Tha sell
for more money than emmy other domestic
animate. You cant tell their age by look
ing into their mouth, emmy more than you
kould Mexican cam on's. Cha never had
no diseases that good club won't heel.
II they ever die, they must come right to
life agoin, for i never herd nobody as
"ded mule" Tha are like sum men, very
korupt at hart; i've knywn them to be
good for six months, jist to get chance
to kick sumbody. never owned one nor
never mean to, unless there is United
States law passed, requirin it. The only
1easop why they are pashunt, is because
they are ashamed ov themselves. hav
seen dedicated mules in slrkus-tha
could kick and bite trcmenjis. would
not say what am forced to sa agin the
mule if his birth want an outrage, and he
amt to blame for it. Emmy man who is
willin to drive mule ought to be exempt
by law from runnin for the legislator.
Tha are the strongest creeturs on arth, and
heaviest ackordid to their size i heard
tell ov one who tell oph from the tow-path
on the kanawl, and sunk as coon as he
touched bottom, but he kept rite on town
the boat tn the mex stashun, breathia
through his ears which was out ov water
about 2 feet 6 inches. didn't see this,
but an auctioneer told me- .'sov it, and I
never knew an auctioneer to lie ul less he
could make som ething out ov it.

A private letter from, Ala, says ::
"Our minister ncarlygo himself into a
scrape the other day, and whether he is a
bit Of wag or very careless fellow, or
an abolition traitor, is now the topic OF
discussion with us. At the meeting on
fast day he gave out Dr.. Watts's hymn
commencing:
And are we wretches yet alive,
And do We yet rebel:
IT'S wondrous,' It's amazing grace,
That We are out of hell"
