Good Reasons.

John Farrago, a Pennsylvania militia
captain, once declined duel in the fol-
lowing words:
SIR:-I have two objections to this
duel business. The one is lest should
hurt you; the other is lest you should
would do me to shoot you. 1 could
make no use of you when dead for any
culinary purpose, as L would rabbit or
turkey. l could not eat you. Why
then needlessly shoot you down? A
buffalo would make better meat than
you For, though your flesh may be
delicate and tender, it wants the firm
ness and consistency that takes and re-

cue, it is true, being of the nature of a
raccoon or opossum but do not like
barbecue meat.
' Beside, it would seem strange
thing for me to shoot at anything that
stands still to be shot at, as L am ac-
customed to shoot at things flying, run
ming or jumping. Were you on tree,
now, like squirrel trying to hide your
self in the brances, and l could spy you
through the intervening boughs and
leaves, your hinder parts alone being
visible, L think L should enjoy taking a
shot at you-but as it is, there is no skill
or judgement in either discovering you
or bringing you down.
AS to myself, do not like to stand
in the way of anything harmful. 1 am
afraid you might hit me. L shall conse-
quently stay at distance. If you want
to try your pistols, take some object,
such as a tree or door about my dimen-
sions. If you hit that, send me word
and will publicly acknowledge that ii
had been in the same place, you might
also have hit me-"

"Oh, man, will ye sit down, and we'll
see your new breeks when the kinks
dune"
This same Mr.. Shirra was we'll known
from the quaint, and, as it were, paren-
thetical comments which he introduced
in his reading of Scripture; as, for ex-
ample, on reading from the 116th Psalm,
81 said in my haste all men are liars"
he quietly observed, g Indeed, David,
an ye had been i this parish ye might
hae said it at your leisure"
