Just Got to Braddock's Defeat.

a. solitary wanderer was vending
his way through one of the interior
counties OF Pennsylvania in the autumn
of the year 1S-, late in the month of
October. Wearied with his long jour-
ney on horseback, he stopped for the
night at the hospitable cottage of a
thrifty farmer in a beautiful valley
through which ran the highway upon
which he was travelling. Alter the
evenings repast, instead of the usual
"WalI, stranger, reckon you're tired
bin travellin'-an' maybe you
mought like to lie down." the pious
host called all hands, including the
stranger within his gates, to family
prayers. When he had walled" a por-
ton of the sacred volume, all knelt in
prayer, the traveller decorously and
devoutly bowling to join in the humble
devotions of the evening. After such
brief attention as every reverent man
must give when fervent piety offers its
simple petitions, the stranger was over
come by fatigue and fell asleep.
Waking up after some time and wait
ing, listening to the solemn drone of
the monOtonous voice, hoping the de-
NObtOHo WOuil cOOtl COtilC W III Cilu,
the traveller paced on his knees in a
sort of pilgrimage around his chair
and back and around again. Finally,
driven to distraction by "the fidgets"
in his feet, he wakedup hopeful scion
of the house who knelt near him pious-
ly slumbering, @dozing holy time
away"
~How long does the old man keep
it up?" the stranger inquired.
The boy rubbed his eyes and finally
got the strangers question INTO his
head and replied:
as tn ole man got TO Braddock's de-
feat yit?"
"Just mentioned Braddock's defeat"
responded the stranger.

We observe that Halstead and Sher-
man and Foraker have about got down
to the battle OF Shiloh in their pious
revival of the war between the states.
WaEeful souls will be kind enough to
go to sleep again and try to avoid dis
turbing people who can sleep, until
their devotional exercises come to an
end.
