| Mr.. EDlron:
Their was cgg-sightmeant inn Cana
da. The day had bin hot and disagree.
able. Everything had gone wrong.
Jedediah Spooks had guzzled the hole
OF the last jug of whisky. that I had purr-
chased with socks had hoed awl day
inn the toe back-owe patch and on COM
ming inn-two the house with craving
at my stomach which nothing butt the
ardent could satisfy ,and which the supper
prepared aggravated, confess dill get
mad. Their lay my vo;in representative
as drunk as a door nail! The last drop Of
hard urn.ed elixir was oozing from the
end of his red, pusgy knows; and [,
who had provided the same, as woman
should, for hour mutual benefit, I, who
had borne the burden and heat of
the day (I have toled you how hot it
was) must go without drop. Lang
uor stole over my class-sick brow aud
wood soon have slept my last long sleep,
butt for sudden change in Jedediah.
He raised himself to a half sitting pos
turc; owe-pencd his swollen rs halt
weigh, or as near half weigh as they GOOD
owe pen and glanced at the distinguished
companion Of his bosom with look of
woe. s.Dimmy Ann" s'Dimmy Ann"
say. Dimmy Ann he hiccuped, ''hayc
yew-hic-heard about the nomina-
tions ?" 'What nominations ?" said I,
Indignantly. GLOW can no about such
things? 4 woman ought to no her
place and keep it,
''That's o,-hic-Dimmy Ann" said
he. "Womcn and niggers have know
write too manage polly tics. Such
-hic-ls left, too white men, which,
hic,-means intellectual bcin's;' and
the intellectual beiu' rolled back on the
floor with a srunt and slept the sweet
sleep of a Dimmycrat.
My blood began two boil and I was
just ready to bee-Iabor the old sot with
a broom, when was arrested by the
wailin' sound of many voices The door
was thrown violently owc-pen and pro-
session of 6 Dimmycrats. awl veterans
from Prices army, came with long faces
and tear-streamin' rs bursting inn-two
the rheum. The procession was headed
by strappin' young Dimmycratic Ker-
mel who had sought refuge under hour
roof from the fatigueing tolls Of war;
and for more than 2 years he had honor
cd our humble abode with his presents,
sharins alike hour toe back owe, hour
bored and hour whisky, (Which last
wood have bin pleased two sea him pay
for.) With down east fec cheers tho
pro session entered and seated themselves
around the table with a simultaneous
groan.
I forgot my anger; l forgot my IA
tigue; and when Kernel Spoony pro-
duced quart bottle from the shaggy
depths Of his old grey cote Git was the
first time he had ever furnished or offered
to furnish any whisky and had taken
swig, felt ready for any emergency.
Butt I diden't forget that I was u
woman knot I. Sew I held my piece,
(though how hard it was two hold none
butt a woman nose.
Old Elder Gray Back, fat and jolly
looking individual, who is we'll known
hear-abouts from his searchin' sermon on
the descendants OF Cain, Che breaches it
with startlin' effect So times inn year)
took sv:g at the bottle. Square No
Land, hungry I'd gentleman who lives
buy borrowin' money, and who naturaiy
goes for reputation, took a swis.
Deacon Spooks, my brother-in-law swis-
ged. The 2 other veterans which for
the present shall be nameless, swigged. I
tried to swig again, butt, alas, the bottle
was empty and furnished me know fur
ther consolation. Elder Gray Back ten
derly drew a soiled copy cf the States
Rights Dimmycrat from his heavin
bosom and began too read dispatches.
He maid sloe work Of it and the o,hes
tried butt failed. I impaticntly snatehed
the paper and read in my most distih
gushed stile the tidings of the Din,my-
cratic Nominations. I finished. Every
body was dumb! It was evident hear
was poser Each face looked as long
as faces. At length the Square found
his voice. "Thundcr and liystnin',' he
roared.
"Yew outrage my pious disposition"
