A Parody on the Chieftain*#
Daughter.
A chieftain from the Rand hills bound,
Says boatman do not tarry,
Don't let your flat boat run aground
For I uni going to marry.
His course he took across the still,
But muddy stream Flint River,
Along the road through Murshalville
And on to Mossy Meadow.
Still on lie goes, o'er hill rind dale
On holv Sabbath morning,
Unmindful of the threatening gale
Or thunder's louder warning.
A town he sees in passing by
On old,Big Indian’s shore;
And here lie s ops and leaves a sigh
For poor lost Leuoer.
At length as evening shades appear
A thousand thoughts arise
Of love, and bliss und Laura dear,
Bryan Castle greets hit* eves.

lm- mind j much, he could keep hie secret no j which his brother lived, and with
he quern j the quern he ground so much
l gold that he covered it with ptatei
of gob); and as the tarm lay by (lie
seaside the golden house gleamed
and glistened far away over the
sea. All Who sailed by put ashore
to see the rich man in the golden
house, aud to see the wonderful
quern, the fame of which epretd
far and wide till there was nobody
who hadn’t heard ti ll of it
So one day there came a skipper
who wanted to see the quern, aud
the first thing he asked was,
if it would grind salt.
“Grind salt! 1 ' said the owner*.
“I should just think it could. It
can grind anything/’
When the skipper heard that
he said he must have the quern,
cost what it would; for if he only
had it he thought he should be rid
of his long voyages across stormy
seas fora ladiug of salt. Well,
at first the man wouldn’t hear of
parting with the quern, hut the
skipper begged and prayed so 1
hard that at last he let him helve'
it, but he had to pay many, many
thousand dollars for it. >ow,
when the skipper had got the
quern on his back he soon made
off with it. % he was afraid, lest
the man should change his miud;
so he had no time to a«k how to
handle the quern, but got ou
hoard his ship as fast as be could
and set. Rail. When he had sailed!

quern on deck und said:
“G:ind salt, aud grind both

fancy the quern didn't grow rusty
for want ol work, and when hay
harvest came the rich brother got
it, but the other took care not to
teach him how to handle it.
It was evening wheu the rich
brother got the quern home, and
next morning he told his wife to
go nut into the hay-field and toss
while mowers cut the grass and
he would stay at home a»'d get the
dinner. So,when dinner-time drew
near he put the quern on the kitch
en table and said:
“Grind herri ngs and broth ,and
grind them good and fast,"
So the quern began to grind
herrings and broth; first ot all the
d!*h/*s full .then all th* t;ihsafn|l,
and so on until the kitchen floor
was quite covered. Then the man
twisted and twirled at the qu rn
to get it to stop, but for all his
twisting and fingering the quern
went on grinding, nud the
broth rose so high that the man
was like to drown. So he threw
open the kitchen door and ran
into the parlor; but it wasn’t long
before the quern had ground the
salt so that it poured out like wa

the all ip full he wished to stop tho
quren, but which ever way htf
turned it and however rnnch ho
tried it was no good, the quern
kept grinding on, and (he heap of'
