Flashes From Shiloh.

As some time has elapsed siuce I gave
you the news, concluded to give you q
few dots this beautiful Saturday after
noon. The sun is now shedding bis dane.
ing beams on the eastern hills and the
bobolink and mocking bird are vieing
with each other for the championship OF
the wildwood. Oh! who could not rejoice
and be happy, for such scene is pretty to
behold, no matter where found. always
like to view such scenes, for 1t yields an
influence over me so enhancing and so
pathetic, that feel my soul rise within
me, and am made better and stronger
and more able to fight life's battles and
resist temptations. Such scenes are ele-
waiting and refining to our poor british
natures, and while we are carried back to
our erratic youth, we are carried forward
by the same impulse and boundless love
of the Creator: But have almost forgot
my mission. I started out to tell you the
long rigmarole which the public cares
nothing about, so I'll confine my remarks
to the latter purpose.
We have secured the services of Prof.
Littlejohn, and he is now teaching at this
place. From the last report we received
his school was small, only numbering
about one dozen pupils. But bis school
will increase as soon as this push vii! be
over on the farm.
We are badly behind with our work, but
II it will continue fair for few days we
can pull through. have finished hoeing
my potato patch and have just come to
the house for a little rest. When the old
lady wants some wood cut she makes
things lively for me. Every Saturday
it's 'old man the meal is out" or maybe
"the mest is short" or. its something Of
the kind, for she keeps me trotting all the
time.
A young lady remarked in our presence
at Sunday School last Sunday that she
would like to make the acquaintance of
that young man from Piercetown. She
says he carries such nice treats in that lit
tie red box. Judging by what we hear
there are others in the same boat. But he
is 9 shy kind of an individual, particularly
II he Is scared. Sometimes be runs 80 fast
that his ears whistle in the wind.
Some Of the Pisgah boys are bucking In
careful, or they will get them the fixing
put on them.
If any of you old somnolent bachelors
want to get married advise you to pay Us
visit. We can give you q vivacious one
or vituperative one. We can supply
you with any kind you want. provided
they will have you. We arc not driving
at you, Mr.. Editor, but the old good for
nothing lazy country bachelor, who
ought to get nice little girl to keep him
out Of devilment.
The crops are looking we'll In this sec.
ton, but some need working very bad.
The boys have got lazy spell on them,
for they go to Piedmont every Saturday.
There are some good boys around here
who put in every Saturday evening clean
Ing yards and helping their sisters fix mp
for Sunday, for they know that the fatted
chicken will be killed aud the table will
be loaded with apple dumplings and
blackberry pies. Then the small boy is
seen at his best, OF rather his worst for it's
"Bobby, run out and play you can eat
directly" Then Bobby will get chicken
foot and a scolding to boot. We know
how 1t is, for we have travelled over that
same road. But by and by the little fell
low will be setting up to young lady
himself. COUNTRY CRACKER.
