were disposed to trouble me. Because YOU
were armed, you chose to use your arms to
force me to drink against my will. Now I'm
armed by the same rule ! want you to dance.
Come, strike in; play away, music. III give
you just half a minute"
"CusS ye!" said Alison, in a whining tone,
" l can't dance"
"Dance!" said "the next time I tell
you I'll shoot"
The great lout raised one foot after the
ether like bear walking on hot plates.
g Faster y l shouted, and faster he went,
while his companions broke out in shout of
delight.
" Faster" I roared, cor you're a dead
man." and the fellow threw his limbs about
until the perSpiration started out upon his
face. For five minutes I kept him in motion,
amid the laughter of every one, including the
landlord, and then lowering the pistol, and
presenting the butt to him with a smile, l
said:
Now, Mr.. Alison, will drink with YOU
willingly, and of my own accord. Come
gentlemen, take hold"
The gentleman from Coon Bend took his
PlSIoI much as though he was handling a hot
potato, and slipping it into his capacious
pocket, advanced to the bar and seized his
whisky which he emptieG at gulp, and then
turning to me with an admiring glance, said
lellberately
Wal, stranger, you air the dod rottedest
and derndest teller that ever l did see with
'tore-clothes on. Eff you'll just come down

That night at an Illinois hotel was a CAV
lme. All my old stories came into play, and
was popular man, SO popular that I am
onvinced that if had wished to run for
'oAgress out of that district the thing could
ave been done with but single word on my
art. Whisky corn-dodger and straw, board
# my horse, and nothing to pay in the
lorning.

A WESTERN HOTEL.
BY THE COLONEL,

Those who are accustomed only to tn,
present day travelling through the length anc
breadth of the land, where they are whipped
about by cars or steamboats, in less time than
it takes to stay at home, and arrive when
their days journey is done, at palace. where
the most frivolous wish of their hearts can be
instantly satisfied, can hardly realize the
style OF travelling through the extreme West
OF thirty years ago, and the hotel (?) accom-
mediation of the same period.
About that number of years ago necessity.
or in other words, business, took me through
the southern counties of Illinois. Nv exne-
rience in the newly settled parts of the differ
ent States was not small, but ! was Obliged
to confess that southern Illinois showed I'D
about as rough hand as had seen held
anywhere. A man travelling with what the
natives were pleased to term store clothes 4"
on, stood but little chance unless he was dis
posed to set aside all ordinary ceremonies and
necessities Of life, and trough it," both phys-
ically and mentally, with those he met. T6ev
were tearfully exercised lest he should &" mt
on airs and repudiated in advance, any such
an attempt. They had no dread of ANYTHING
human, but thorough detgstation of sur.
Veyor, and full determination to extermin-
ate anything in the shape of land speculator
Off the face of the earth. In a few words,
any one coming with the SAVIOR of the city
about him, had hard time on his travels. IN
less he chose to lay aside every trace of his
refinement and come straight down to the
backwoods standard of good-felIowshiD.
This was exactly the state of things when
one day late in Autumn, I made nv wav
through an apology for road in that same
southern Illinois. The day had been showery
and cold until about three o'clock, when It
fairly set in for freezing, drenchng rain.

And me through the drifts carried too;
Could l think why he Rugged me so close
If [ couldn't, how could 1 F? could you?
At eve he tied under my chin
My hood will its bright ribbons blue;
Why he gazed in my face could tell?

He told me my eyes were 50 black,
The brightest Of any he knew;

Then off with the lightning speed flew;

He has spoken words loving and true;
only laid close to his breast,
For how could help it? could you?
