Certainly" sed johnson, Now can't vou oil
up?" said he to the PROSTATE beln given Il ,
very large swaller out NV bis bottle The giant
made an effort but Topped down agin like dish
rag.
"Gentlmen" /" sed Vallandigham. 1--WE shel hey
to call upon yOo to assist In settn him cato hi,
ieet ana then I'LL be all rite with hn. He's bin
| this way afore.
Accordingly, the southerners gathered around
him TO lift him mp. His arms, Inotist, wus
marked respectively Connecticut and Delaware
ana MS legs Maryland and Kentucky, and in
Them there wuz strength, for ez soon ez the limo
cent Southerncrs got near enuH he wrapped them
limbs around em and sed--
"Liftw ..... .....
I'VE can't, sed they.
=. "Yoo must" sed he II rot into this con
qlshch hghtlng your battles and dOin yoor work
was strong and vigrous until got 10 runnin
alter your harlots, and for yoor sake wuz druy
out Nv my native State into this accussid region.
ZOO must carry me wat time 1 hCv yet to live
Hist me Hist me !"
Those caught coodent get away, and the Others
| generously come to ther aid, and making terri
bic effort they raised the half dead bein onto
| their shoulders, holdin ther noses, meanwhile,
and prepared to start. Ez the procession wuz
about to move, Valandigham remarked, "stop a
mint, gentlemen !" and loaded as he was with
his war record, he clambercl up ther shoulders
and took q seat on the caTliss. Voorhees,, Just o.
bad ly Oncumbered, did likewise, and so did the
Woods, both of EN-, and poor old Jimmy Bookan-
nan, Seymour. TOucy, and o hundred or 50 more,
the unfOrtinit bearers sweatin under this addish-
nal load.
''Is all ready, said they
"One moment J" sed Johnson and him and
Randall and Seward climbed up.
This wuz the last feather. The bearers mite
hev staggered off under the carkiss and them
wich climbed onto it first, but this last addishen
to ther burden wuz friteful. 1t finisht EN-.
Groanin under the weight they swayed like leaf
in the wind like majestic tree just about to
fall. They struggled minnit to maintain them
selves-but all in vain. breef struggle--a des-
prlt gasp-they give up, and. their knees dOublin
up the whole concern come to the earth with a
squashin sound which letters can't express, and
the half decomposed mass fell apart. Raymond
and ThurlOw Weed wich had bin hangin round
got out from under .jist in timetc save them
selves.
The SoutherHers got ont from under the putrid
mass, tho almost smothered by the stencil. Val
landigham and that class made little nv It, ez they
had been around it. 1t staggered johnson some,
bat he had bin accustomed TO suthin approxima-
tin very closely to 1t in the old times and ltddnt
seriously affect him, but poor Randall, Seward
and WeIles were smOthered aud died.
wuz irwin to pull Randalls corpse out, when
the effort wuz maxim awOke me. . .....
amt altogether certain but that that dream
means suthin. When think of it, il is rather
preposterus for us to hope the Northern Dimoc-
racy will carry us, when they can't carry single
State Nv their own: jist about as preposterus ez
il is for them to look to us for help, when all of
us ez would jine EN- hev'nt got vote. Pollock's
remark-''in pullin match o corpse amt NV
much akount even ef it is big one''-weighs on
to my mind. Suthin can't come out NV nOthn,
tho ez in the case nv Seward nothin may come
out of suthin. Ell we Good git--but pshaw we
can't. Thank the Lord VIC kin hold the postolIi-
ces two years yit.
