TIL COW AND KEY.

i '~licence to marry is often wanted
when It can't be had, but a poor one is
better than none, when a man is in a hurry
viz, namely to wit, the following;
In the early days Of Texan indepeu-
dence and youth, al eccentric genius,
still living and rcignipg, was clerk OF
one of the Western counties. The vii
lage was quite secluded in the prairies,
and the squire pastured his cows on the
broad acres around. bringing them home
at night. and letting them 60 to grass in
the morning. He kept a bell on one OF
them to help him in finding them ; but
as he was letting them loose one morn
ing, be perceived that the clapper of the
bell was lost out, and, being unable to
find it, he made a substitute by making
fast in the bell his Office key. Not till be
reached the ofice did it occur to him that
be should want the key, but now finding
himself locked out, he betook himself to
other matters, proposing to recover the
key at night. About moo a rough-and
ready young Texan, in buckskin dress,
came riding into town, inquired for the
clerk, scared him up, and asked for a
marriage licence.
Sorry ! can't accommodate you to-
day ; but it's no 60"
why not? Pm going to be spliced
tonight, and I must have it whether or
no"
. but, the fact is" said the clerk, "ny
Office is locked up and my COW is gone
away with The key r
"The COW what does the cow want
Of the keyw
So the old fellow told the whole story,
and the two set off for the prairie to find
the cattle and get the key. But the more
they looked, the less they found, and fin
ally had to give it up. A bright thought
struck the clerk of the county.
"Wl fix you out =! said he, and Young
Texas jumped q rod so tickled vas he to
know that he vas to be fixed out of the
fix he was in. They proceeded to a store
close by the Office, and there the country
scribe indited the following autograph f:
republic Of Texas: To all who shall
see this present, greeting : Whereas, 1,
Clerk Of this County, having this morn
ing unthoughtedly tied my Office key as
. clapper in my cows bell and whereas
the said COW has gone estray to parts
unknown, bearing with her the said key,
and therefore the said key is non inventus
ess-tbat is, can't be had /; and whereas,
one Abuer Barnes has made application
to me for q marriage %li,ence, and the
said Abner Barnes persists that he ian.
not wait until the COW back with
key, but is compelled by the violence Of
his feelings and the arrangements already
made to get married: Therefore these
are to command any person legally au.
thorized to celebrate the rites Of MARI
age to join the said Abner Barnes to Re-
becca Downs ; and for so doing this
shall be your sufficient authority.

COW having gone away with the key
