Stealing John Van Burenr. Thunder.

The author Of Desutory Sketches, in
the September GalaGy tells the following
story of John Van Buren;
In the campaign of 1856 he took an ac-
tive part in support of Mr.. Buchanan, the
great moral question having ceased to
interest him. accompanied him on
an electioneering tour through paft of
Ohio, and in some Of the southern coun-
ties. lie had prepared Il strong, political
speech, and as reporting in those days
was not as general or perfect as it is now,
the intellectual labor of the expedition
was not exhausting. lie was to speak in
a town on the Western Reserve and as
considerable preparation had been made
to get large number OF people together,
the services of several local orators had
been engaged, but, of course Mr.. Van
Buren's speech was expected to be the
principal feature of the entertainment.
Unfortunately John was taken i'll the
night previous, and although he was able
to take seat on the platform, he was
too much indisposed to address the audi
enen IN this exignncy Van Ruren in
sisted that | should make a speech. !
had previously spoken briefly, when there
was dearth of competent orators, but
speech-making was not in my line. Still
as he was so pressing, concluded to
make an effort. As it was an unusual
occasion, the reporters were present in
force. | had heard Van Buren's speech
so often that | knew every word of it,
anecdotes and all; and to requite his i'll
offices in getting me into the scrape, ]
determined to make his speech. lie saw
the trick | was practicing upon him be-
fore | uttered three sentences, and he be-
gan to scold and swear at me in an un-
dertone with so much vehemence and af-
fected indignation as TO horrify several
pious old democrats who were on the
platform with us. Curse your impudence
he exclaimed soto Uoce, who the devil
expected you would take the words out
Of my mouth? / proceeded, paying not
the slightest attention to his abjurgations
and he quieted down after a while. But
when recited one Of his most piquant
anecdotes which he never told without
a general burst of applause, and which
was received with the most uproarous
manifestations Of delight, he broke out
again The meanest thing ever done.
You might as well pick my pocket. Catch
me taking you along as foil again. I'd
rather have dummy for a companion.
You shall have my hat and clothes when
the meeting breaks mp. by this time the
gentlemen on the platform saw through
the thing, and evidently enjoyed the joke
and speech a great deal more than John
did,
