COMPLETELY DONE FOR.

A poorly dressed WAGNER drove into the
town Of c., n. c., with load of cotton.
AS it happened, some of the Jewish mer-
chants taking him to be green.horn, imme
diately sailed forth to purchase, when the
following dialogue ensued:
Jew. Dou you sell DAFT cotton?
Wagner. Yes, pap said if I wanted to,

tone.)

as any pody else,if you will take goods for it.
w. Well, pap said l might get the wagon
load of things if you had anything to suit me.
j. Veil, everything you will want to puy.
So they concluded the trade, the Jew giving
him over the market price for it, expecting
to reap golden harvest in the sale Of his
goods to the green countryman.

you shall want.

empty.
DENoM1NArIoNAL OXEN IN TExAs.-Tex-
as, says the True Witness, is great State. 1t
has not only large, growing, mixed popu-
lation-every variety, Of climate and soil,
game and stock-but its very oxen become
UNCONVENTIONAL, if not sectarian, in name
character and spirit. In proof of this, we
give the following incident, although rather
hard on the Methodists:
A stranger travelling along the road met a
stranger driving wagon, which was pulled
by four oxen. As he approached, he heard
the driver say:

Methodist!'
The traveller, struck with the singularity
of such names being given to oxen, remarked:
stranger, you have strange names for your
oxen, and wish to know why they had such
names given them"
The driver replied "I call that lead OK in
front Presbyterian, because he is true blue

way, until he sees water, and then all the
world can't keep him out of it, and there he
stands as if his journey was ended. This off
OK, behind, is real Baptist, for he is all the
time after water, and will not eat with the
others, but is continually looking first on one
side and then the other, and at everything
that comes near him. The other, which /
call Methodist, makes a great noise and
great to do, and you would think that he
was pulling all crertiou but he don't pull
pound"
The traveller, having his curiosity grati6ed
with the explanation, rode on, wondering
what he should next hear in Texas. This is
no dream, but real fact, as we have heard it;
nor are we influenced by the dyspeptic feeling
in telling our readers the ecclesiastical re-
