Not to he ~Frirhtened.

A writer in Blue and Gray says that
during the civil war he once attempted,
uDsuccessfully, a practical joke. Not
far from the picket line was an old
cemetery, and the writer, who was then

stories Of the panic into which some
Of the men had lately been thrown.
A rumor Lad somehow got abroad

seen in the reighborhood after dark.
One man, it was reported, had been

rade to stand his picket for him.
One night, when the writer was post
ing his relief. a little before midnight,
it came into his head to try the story
on the man whom lie was to leave alone
in the darkness. He told it with rs
much solemlity as he could muster.
but the picket was Tot to be fright
ened so easily. He was just lighting his
pipe, and replied between his whitfs:
well (puff), If there's a man (puf)
comes round here (putf) tonight (puf)
without a head (puff, puff, I'll put q
head on him."
The picket was not disturbed, and the
writer seems to suspect that this was
the origin of an obscure slang phrase.
