Blowhard's Bird !!

Old Blowhard arose one morning bright.
BE was feeling very sore,
And thought he would goon farm,
Where he had been before.
For every trick he tried to play
He found himself getting beat,
The clothing business did not pay
While the Manikins sold so cheap.
So down to Leighion's yard he goes,
And takes with him line.
He rushes in among the Hogs
And noun the fattest swine.
We saw him going at a fri. htful speed
Some country iarm to find,
He was c'ingiDg closely to his steed
And his Rooster tagging behind.

ssIIa! ha! good morning, Morton!'
said the Captain, you've been keep
ing Patty down at the spring house
when she should have been at the
loom by this time In my time
young men and women didn't waste
their mornings. Nights and Sundays
are good enough for visiting. Now,
see hois, Patty, there's one Of them
plagued Methodist preachers brought
into the settlement by Wheeler.
These circuit riders are worse than
third day fever N ager. They 60
against dancing and arti6cials and
singing songs and reading novels and
all other amusements. They give
people the jerks wherever they go.
The devils in 'em. Now | wan: you

night, and ask all you can get along
with. Nothing II make the preacher
so mad as to dance right under his
nose, and wen keep good many
people away who might get the jerks
Or fall down with the power and
break their necks, maybe"
Patty was always ready to dance.
and she only said: ''lf Morton will
help me send the Invitations
..I'll do that" said Morton, aud
then he told of the discontinue he
had wrought in Methodist meeting
while he was gone. And he had
the satisfaction Of seeing that the
narrative greatly pleased Captain
l.umsden. 5asr
"We'Il have to send Wheeler aAoat
sometime, MORT" said the Captain,
chuckiing intrrrogatively. Morton
did not ike this proposition, for, not
withstaiding theological differences
about election, Mrs. Wheeler was .
fast friend of his mother. He evaded
an answer by Fastening to consult
with Patty and her mother concern.

Those who got ssinyiies" danced

Morton danced with Fatty to his
hearts content, and in the happiness
Of Morton's assured love and Of )
truce in her fathers interruptions she
was queen indeed. She wore the
antique earrings that were an heir

snowy breast-pin which her father
had bought her. These and her new
dress Of English calico made her the
envy Of an the others. Pretty Betty

CHAPTER Y,
PATTY IN THE srRlNG-MOusE.

PATTY IN THE sPRING-HOusE,
Patty had that morning gone 10
the spring-hnuse, as usual, to strain
the milk.
Can it be possible that any be-
nighted reader does not know what
a spring g-house is? A little log cabin
six feet long by FIVE feet wide, with
out floor, built where the great stream
Of water issues clear and icy cold
from beneath the hill. The little
cabin-like spring house sits always
in the hollow; as YOU approach it
you look down upon the roof Of
rough shingles which Western peo-
pie call "clapboards,' you see the
green moss that has overgrown them
and the logs, you see the newborn
brook rush out from beneath the logs
that hide its cradle, you lift the home
made latch and open the low door
which crcaks on its wooden hinges,
You see the great perennial spring
rushing mp eagerly from its dark
subterranean prison, you note how
its cslld waters lave the sides Of the
eArthen crooks, and in the dim light
and the fresh coolness, in the pres
ence Of the rich creaminess, you feel
whole eologues Of poetry which you
can never turn into words. s
It was in jus. such . spring house
that Patty Lumsden had hidden her.

She brought clean crocks--earth.

outside, where they had been airing
to keep them sweet; she held the
strainer in her left hand and poured
the milk through il until each crock
was nearly full; she adjusted ths
crooks in their places among the
stones, 90 that each one stood hal
immersed in the cold current d

THAT CONFEDFR4TE FLA6


A paper in Petersburg, Va, remarkable
for the devotion 1t exhibits toward the '1ost
cause" refers to the letter recently pub
lished in our columns, giving the particu-
lars Of the display of the Confederate flag
by boat club at Lynchburg, refers to the
circumstance in the following strain: 'tNow,
we would respectfully inquire what is ii
to any of these meddling and peddling
creatures what kind and color of flag may
" be fOsted by gentlemen of Virginia on
their own premisesH If they choose to
fly the flag associated with so many mag
nifcent victories over their enemies,
whose business is 1t besides their own
" The sneaking Paul Prys who are not sd-
" mitted to the houses over which these
" battle-fags are reported to be hoisted,
