like that, it just gethers you, and you got to
knock under or else go rite spang into torment
with all Nv her prars and teers crowdln you

him room to play and rush aroun and madly
kevort tell he gets completely wo out and then
you kin dror him to shoar as meek as blind

hav got so mighty much to brag over his SOU
Nv his veus he may hold the age on her slight
ualIy but when it Gums to lenth Nv feelins,
she obtains him bad, for lenth is boun to tell in
the long run.
Eff evrything about EN- is too long, as I hav
sheWd, nobody needn't wondur that wimmn
shood have great ponshont (Frentch) for long
things, which, eff you stop to think about it a
minnitt, wonderfool feecher Nv femail karric-
ture. Long kerls, long brades, long ribbons
long harpins, long nitten-needils, long gluvs
gantllts and mtts, long list Nv uckquaintunsis
long akounts at the dry-guds stos, long shop
plns long walks with thar luvers, (which they
luv EN- to be long-hard, with long beerds and
long mustachers) long, all-day preechins, long
buggy-rides, long item gittin reddy to start
and then, wust Nv all by long shot, long
leeve-t takins, that urritates a man Wussern a
plarster Nv kentherrydees. And then, so div
voatid they is to eyrything long, they'll set
doun, with long pen-plnt In a long pen-han-
dill, and write long letter, crost up one side
and doun the uther, and then add two or three
long pos-Skrips (like tackin Nv SEVERAL founsis
to long skeert) fold it up lenthwise, and put
it in a long invellup and seal it with long
stick sealin waxx. In fact SO great is thar
horro uv short things, that they woud't make
a peeriud or full stop to save 70 soul, but
makes long dash in plais NV peeriuds, COM
and talk away 20 breth to redc thar letters,
which is like creashun broke loose and lonjy-
tude shattered evrywhichaway in fragments NV
lattytude Why evin the tops Nv thar is

crosses like yard arms, and the bottom OF thar
''g's' is so long that they look like sturrup-
lethers hangin doun 'thout emmy sturrups to

In cunclewshun, they livs too long, givin NV

The Abbott-Sprague unpleasantness finally
reached an amicable adjustment on the Goth.
AS anticipated, Senator Abbott addressed a
note to Sprague asking the latter to state dis
tincty whether he intended to apply any of the
offensive language of his recent speech (Which
he quotes) to him Abbott to which Sprague
answered that he had no hesitation in saying
that the language of his speech referred to was
written and in manuscript some days prior to
his speech, and was not intended to apply to
him Abbott. Mr.. Abbott was fully satisfied
with the explanation, and sent another note to
Sprague, in which he said he had msconceiv-
| ed his language, and desired that he should
/ consider the remarks made by him as unsald.
This settles the much talked of duel, and both
parties may be said to be on good terms again
AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.-We rarely have to
record so great an afhiction to one family as
has fallen to the lot of the family of Mr.. 10
seph Siler, Of Kerr's Greek, in the last ter

children have been borne to the tomb. Mr
Siler and his little son died on the same day
and were buried together in one grave, Two
days afterward they were followed by another
member Of the family to the undiscovered
country" The disease of which they died was
a malignant type of Measles.-Lec. Gazette.
