a DARKEY WHO FOLLOWED rat

An odd character was old Uncle
BALKAN, who did chores for Col. s.
He was over 70 years old, thin and bent
over, with snow-white wool, and that
peculiar intellectual expression that
one sees in the profile of mullet. The
popularity of Uncle BALKAN was that
he could not withstand the charms Of
music. No matter what he was doing
or what errand he was on, the moment
band struck up he had eyes and ears
for nothing else. He would be going
home with huge basket of provisions,
trotting along mumb.ing TO himself,
when around the corner parade would
come, drums beating and horns footing,
and Uncle Balaam would fall in and
march all over town, forgetting the
irate cook waiting for the market
basket
However, when it only delayed dinner
an hour or so, it was of but little
moment The easy temperament of the
Southerner would not become unduly
excited. But when the leg of mutton
came home covered with mud from an
unlucky spill, he would be greeted with
torrent of angry invective and threats
of condign punishment, to which his
only reply would be: "Cant help Int,
Mars John; l was comm home, SAL,
when de company came long an Jess
jined 'em, sah."
But where did you go?" said the
Colonel.
