And drive the fever from my head. The servant heeds her known commands. Would firmer stiil tho fever s e t ; But what is very strange, I ween, The water all passed off in steam. Bring me a “cream” without delay, I said to John, the other day; jfnd off he went as quick as thought, AivX soon the frozen mixture.brought; Wh.ate’or i’ might liave been 1-ffore, It oortaiuly was “ice” no more.

Shadow’s future—more nine pound babies, more hive syrup, etc. I’ll just tell you how I got caught, was always the hardest, most tea-custard, bashful feller you ever did see; it kinder in my line to be taken with the snakes every time I saw a pretty gal ap proaching me, and I’d cross the street any time rather than face one; ’t want because I didn’t like the critters, for if I was be hind a fence looking through a knot hole, I couldn't look at one long enough. Well, m y sister Lib gave a party one night, and I stayed away from home because I was to bashful to face the music, I hung around the house whistling “Old Dan Tucker,” dancliig to keep my feet w*rm, watching the heads, bobbing up and down behind the window curtains, wishing the thundering 1 arty would break up so I could get to my I smoked up a bunch o f cigars, and as it was getting late and mighty uncomforta ble, I concluded to shin up the door post. No sooner said than done, and I soon found myself snug in bed. “Now,” says I, “let her rip! Dance till your wind gives out 1” And cuddling under the quilts. Morpheus grabbed me. I was di earning of soft-shell ed crabs and stewed tripe, was having a good time, when somebody knocked at the door and w o \e me up. “Rap” again. I laid low. “Rap, rap, rap !” Then I heard a whispering, and I knew there was a whole raft of girls outside. “Rap, rap!” Then Lib sings out, “Jack, are you in there ?” 1‘Yes,” says I. Then came a roar o f laugh, ter. “Let us in,” says she. “I won’t,” says I ; “can’t you let a feller alonh ?” “Are you abed ?” saysshe. “I am” says “Get up,” says she. I won’t says 1. Tin n came another laugh. By thunder! I began to g e t rded. Get out you pe ticoated scare- j crows I I cried, can’t you get a beau with- (out hauling a fellow out of bed t I won't go home with you-r-t won’t--so you may clear out ! And throwing my boot at the door I felt better. presently, ohi morlal hutlons!— heard a stilly small voice, very much like sister Lib’s, and it said: Jack you will have to get up, for all the girl’s things are in there! Oh 1 Lord, what a pickle 1 Think of me in bed, a ll covered with shawls,muirs bonnets and cloaks; and twenty girls outside waiting to get i n ! If 1 had stopped to think I should have fainted on the spot. As it «ras I rolled out among the bonnets, wire, and ribbons in -a hurry f Smash! went the millmery in every direction. I had to dress in the dark—for there was a crack in the door, and the girls will peek—and the way I fumbled about was death on straw hats. The critical moment came. 1 openecl the door and found m yself right among the' women! Oh, my leghorn! cried one. My dehr; darling Winter velvet! cried another, and they pitched in—they pulled m e this way and that, boxed my eais; and. one bright- eyed little piece—Sal^ ----- her name was— put her arm right around my neck, and kissed me right on the lip. Human nature couhi n’t stand that,and I gave her as good as she sent. It was the first time I ever got a taste, and it was powerful good. I believe that 1 could o f kissed that gnl from Julius Cse-ar tu the Fourth of .luly. Jack, says site, we are sorry to disturb you, but won’t you see me home ? Y es said-1,1 will. I did do it, and had another smack at the. gate, too. After that we took akinder turtle dove after each other, both of us singing like abarreTi.f new cider when we were away from each other. ’Twas at the close of a glorious Summer day—the sun Was sitting behind a distant hogpen—tho chickens were goiiig to toost— the bullfrogs were commencing their e v e ning songs—the pollywogs, in their native mud puddles, were preparing themselves for the shades of night—and Sal and myself sat upon the antiquated back-log listening to the music of nature, such as tree-toads, roosters and granting pigs, and now and then the mellow music o f a distant jackass was wafted to our ears by the gentle zeph yrs that sighed among the mullen stocks,and came heavy laden with the delicidus odor o f henroosts and pigstyes. The last lingering- rays of^the setting sun, glancing from the brass buttons o f a solitary horsemen, shone through a knot-hole in the hog pen full in Sail’s face, dyeing her hair with an orange- peel hue, and showing off my threadbare coat to bad advantage—one of m y arms resting on the small of her hack—she was toying with my auburn locks o f jet black hue. She was almost gone, and I was ditto. She looked like a grasshopper dyeing with the hiccups, and I felt like a mudturtle chocked with a codfish hall. Sal, says I, in a voce as musical as the notes of a dying swan, will you have me? She turned her eyes heavenward, elapsed me by the hand, had an attack ofthe hCaves and blind staggers, and then wi h a sigh that drew her shoe strings to her pallate, said, Yes! She gave clear out then aud squatted in my lap; she corkscrewed and I curflumexed and rolfi d in it. 1 huggedher' till 1 broke my suspenders. W ell to make a lo -g story short, she -set the day, and we practiced Tor four weeks every night how we would walk into the room to be married, till we got so we could walk as graceful as a pair of MuScovie ducks. The night the company and the minister came, the signal was given, and arm in arm we marched through the crowd ed hall. W e were just entering the parlor' door, when^I went kerslap on the oilcloth, pulling Sal after me. Some cussed fellow liad dropped a banana skin on the floor,- and it floored me, It split an awful hole in my cassimeres right under my dress coat It was too late to back out. so clapping my hand over it, we marched in and were spliced, and tailing a seat I watched the kissing of tlie bride operation My grooms man was drunk, and lie kissed her till I jumped up to take a slice, vyhen, oh horror! than was pleasa t. The women giggled, the men roared, and I gi t mad, blit was finally put to bef les ended. Gooc and I gi t id, and there all my tfoub- 5od night.
