"HoLD ON, DEVIL. In the early
days of the State of Indiana, the cap
itsl was Corydon, and the annual ses-
sioa Of the General Assembly usually
brought together as wild set Of mad
wAgs 40 could be found in the State,
who had to rely upon their own re-
sources for Amusement, for there were
then few theatres, concerts, or shows.
These lovers of mischief had estab-
lished q mock Masonic Lodge, into
which they would entice such as were
little green, and take them through
a variety Of ridiculous ceremonies, to
the infinite amusement of the crowd.
On one Of these occasions, it being
understood that good-natured, ath-
'letic young man, about half a simple
ton, was to be initiated, the room was
crowded, Judge Grass Gt being a
character in which he was peculiarly
happy had consented to act the role
of the Devil, and, to make the services
more impressive, had put on false
face and q large paper cap surrounded
with horns, and with some chains in
his hand placed himself behind q
screen.
After taking the candidate through
a variety of ceremonies, he was
brought to a stand before the screen,
and told that he had then to confess
all the crimes he had committed dur
ing his whole life. The candidate
confessed some trivial offences, and
declared that he could. recollect no
more At this the Judge came out
from his hiding place, groaned and
shook his chains, The frightened
candidate related some other small
matters and declared he had disclosed
all the crimes he had ever committed
Atthis the groans of the pretended
devil became furious, the chains rat
tied, and he, shook his horns in the
face of the terrified candidate, who
starting back in alarm, cried out: a
"Hold ON, M-mrm-ister D-d-devil;

cry one is fiGmiliai with the mode of
d1ring (9 a drove of young mules
1t is on the inverse system. The
drover buysup from fifty to hundred
young, unbroken mules, and mounted
on brood mare, they follow after the
same as do sheep the bellwether of
flock. For great many years an old
trader familiarity called Gold Sol -
who if ever possessed of any other
patrOnymic had probably forgotten
the fact-was in the habit of bringing
in from the West drove of the long
cared animals and disposing of them
to the farmers of South Jersey. The
last business visit he made to that Sec
tion was about the time the turnpike
mania ragged, and single bar was
stretched across nearly every public
road, to pass beyond which required
the payment of
For every carriage, sleigh, or sled
drawn by one beast, one and one-half
cents per mile.
For every additional beast, one and
one-half cents.
For every dozen calves, sheep or
hogs, two cents.
For every dozen of horses, mules or
cattle, ak cents.
"Old Sol" had passed something
like two dozen of these bars on his
way from Camden to Bridgeton, pay
ing the legal exaction at each under
protest and in very profane language.
Not having disposed of a single mule,
and drawing nigh the end Of long
journey, he was beginning 10 suffer
from drouth in his pocket, and to
his dismay saw the inevitable bar once
more before him. Looking around
and finding his mules were leisurely
browsing along the road some two or
three hundred yards behind, he hur-
ried up his pace to the gate, paid a
isingle toll for the horse he was riding,
and made special request of the gate
keeper to shut it after him and stop
those darned mules which had been
following him two or three miles.

dating keeper, who had it locked in
less time than it takes to tellit. sold
Sol" started off again on brisk can
ter, which his mules soon initiated,
and as they came to the gate bar went
over it in one two, and three order,
to the astonishment of the keeper,
who saw the point of the joke in few
minutes after, and acknowledged him.

How THE SWISS MAKE MATCHES. 1t
is the general custom in Berne, says a
Swiss writer, that the lovers father
should play the wooer to the parents
Of the bride. He frequently goes to
them and says:
"My lad likes your daughter 1
suppose you have nothing much
against it, and that it will suit you?"
Or sometimes he goes in more elab-
crate fashion, as in the case OF the
father who knocked one evening late
at window, begged the old people to
look out, and then began:
"It.is Gods will that my boy and
your girl should come together. 1
have had to make up my mind to it,
and SO will you; but 1 should like to
ask what dover you mean to give her
about thousand pounds, fancy?"
81 approve the MATCH" returned
the other party; "but can't think of
giving her more than a hundred
pounds" :"
" You don't mean it?" said the other.
"Indeed l do; not one half penny
more, and even that is too much"
Then replied the former, at is not
Gods will that the two should como
together The Lords purposes are
unfathomable, and his ways past find
ing out. Goodnight. No offence, 1
hope" Wa.
