asnME SHAKING.

Tom lisa queer genius, and lets off
some tall ones occasionally. He
visited us the other day in our sane
tum with a
GLOW do you Do, old fellow ~
"FTeIlo, Tom" said we, "where
have you been SO long ="
"Why, sir, I've been down on
Severn river, in Anne Arundel
county, taking Shanghai notes on
the chills and fever"
"Ah, indeed" said we, care they
very bad down there ?"
"Rather bad" said Tom dryly.-
"Thero is one place whore they have
attempted to build brick house for
eight weeks-well, the other day as
the hands we're putting up the bricks
preparatory to finishing it they were
taken with a chill, and shook the
whole building completely down,
and kept on shaking till the bricks
we're dust of the finest quality. just
at that juncture, the chills came on
with renewed force, and they com
menccd shaking with such gusto
that they were entirely obscured for
hours, and the people Of the neigh
borhood thought the sun was in an
eclipse"
"Gas !" said We.
"INot at all, )" said Tom.
"Why, | was sixteen miles fur
Their down tho river the other day,
and saw four men carrying a pine
log from on board a schooner to the
shcre. The chills came on, and
they shook tho log, which was thir-
ty feet long, all up in pieces of the
proper length for fisewood, and then
taking rc,shakc of ii, split and pill
ed it up, at the same time sbak-
ing all the knots out of it !"
Cant believe anything like that,
Tom"
otis a fact said Tom, and he
resumed "thcre's a farmer down
there who, in an apple-picking seas
on haulS his mig ,ers out to the orch
ard, and sets one up against each
tree. In short time the chill
comes on, and every apple in the
orchard is shaken off the trees on to
the ground.
'Incrediblo," said we, holding our
sides with both hands.
"Fact," said Tom, "thcy keep a
man along side of each negro to
take him away as soon as the fruit
is Off, for fear that he will shake the
tree down"
Tom continued: "Mr. $,
friend of mine, and house carpenter,
was engaged few days ago in COW
ering the root of house with shing-
les. Just as he was finishing the
chill came on and he shook every
single off the roof Some of them
are supposed to be flying about
yet! !"
"Anothcr gentleman near the
same place, was taken with chill
the other day at dinner, and shook
his knife and fork down his throat,
besides breaking all the crockery-
ware on the table. His little son,
who was sitting at the table at the
same time, was ia gen with chill
and shook all the buttons off his in
cxpressibles, and then shook HIM
self clear out of them"
We then prevailed upon Tom to
dcsist, who did so with the under
standing that he was to give us the
balance at some other time.
Persons who think of emigrating
to Anne Arundel county will please
take notice.
