SWAPPING HOUSES.
An AnooUot.* *>r War
One of the best known character* In
©on. John H. Morgan’* cavalry divis
ion was Parson W■ —% lie was nn e\-
collcnt man and an excellent soldier
and his piety was ns true as his patriot’
Uni. Still, with all his good qualities,
the parson was exceedingly eacentric,
ami, perhaps, as opinionated and stub
born 11 citizen us the southern confed
eracy had in her bonier*.
Ho wa* the most uggrossive, the
fiercest, the most tenacious disputant
that ever dissected the resolutions of
or knocked n man down for not
readily discerning the distinction bi
tween “•occasion” and “co-operation.**
His sincerity only made him the more
obstinate. On account of his nerve,
astuteness, larg<* acquaintance iu Ken
tucky, and thorough knuwl dgo of tho
country, lie wag very frequently sent
jby Ooil Morgan into tho stato to ob
tain tho information required, not oulv
to guide his own operations but for the
use of tho army, upon these expedi
tions he was generally accompanied by
Dan Uiv, a gal ant, splendid fellow, as
intelligent and nervy as the parson, but
tho soul of good humor. l)an never
engaged in argument, except to start
the parson and grainy iD fun-loving
disposition at the latter’s expense.
One day tlmv were riding along to
gether, somewhere in southern Ken
tucky, when the conversation turned
on a practice very prevalent at that
time among thoso who “jined tho cav
alry,” and, it must by confessed, car
ried to its fullest extent in “Morgan's
command.” They began to discuss
“horse-pressing.” Dan mildly excus
ed and even advocated it, upon the
ground that it was a “military necessi
ty,” out admitted that it was some
times abused.
Tne parson condemned it in toto.
He would not acknowledge that it
could be defended or padiated umlor
any circumstance!, lie stated that
G*m. Morgan's countenance of such a
practice was tho one thing whic.lt pre
vented him from entertaining nn other
wise unqua.ilicd admiration of that of
ficer. lie said that ho prayed daily
and nightly that his comrades might
bo forgiven for it, but intimated in
strong terms that he didn’t boliovo
they would he. Hi; concluded by as
serting that it was tho great national
sin, 011 account of which the southern
confederacy wou.d uo destroyed, it it
was fated to fail.
li iv prudently lot tho matter drop,
ina-iimcu ns the parson had got warm
ed up almost to tne lighting polhu
Oil the next day tho parson w as com
pelled to have hi* horse shod, and the
clumsy smith pricked one hoof so bad
that the animal iu u few hours went
dead lame. This was a.serious matter
under the circumstances, and both
Dan and tho parson became very anx
ious and apprehensive. Just when they
had about concluded to retrace their
ftteps to a point far iu the rear, where
the parson mijjht procure u remount—
n proceeding which would have involv
ed unfortunate and perhaps d.tngerom*
delay —a well-to-do looking man name
riding down the road on a remarkably
liue horse. Tho sight of *uch a hor*9
was enough to make a cavalryman’*
mouth water, and rmtuco a scruple, if
ho hud one, t> an intiuitesimal degree.
Tho parson looked, longed, and let
down. It was predealinud, he felt,
that he sluuid have that horse.
Ho gracefully opened tne prelimina
ry conversation to tne “swap” ho had
already determined on by Haying:
“Thai’* a migiity likely horse you*ro
riding, sir—a Tiw/hty likely animal.”
“Yes,” was UlO response, “he’s i>
right peart nag.”
•‘Bound, too, ain’t lie? Nothing tho
matter witnhiiu?”
“Well, fttrangcr, he’s sound from his
eyes to ii s hoot*. Tmir ain’t nothin’
soli about him, f Ido say it mysed.”
“Imu’.s a good chunk of a horse,
loo,” said tin; parson, pointing to his
own. “He’s by Denmark, and his dam
was by Drcunon out of a Whip mare,
lie 6 n go nil the gaits when he’s well,
but a fom of a blacksmith pricked him
this morning.”
“Full his shoes off and let him stand
in the wet gras**.”
“l haven’t got tho tinv*. I am en
gaged in tho public service nnd must
get on rapidly. So I’m compelled to
swapforyoiirlior.se. You can doctor
this fellow. You have leisure, and
seem to ho nn intelligent man.”
“The h— II you snv! Well, at ranger,
you'r the drunkest man, to hide it so
well, I ever see.”
“Don’t uko profane language in my
presence,” shouted ilia parson, “hut
help me to shift sadd es. You’re gel
tin’ much tho host of the tratio. Thorn
ain’t such a single-footed walker as my
horse, that is to say, as your horse—
for now ho is yours—in all Kentucky.
Don't multiply words,” ho continued,
as the other party to tho "mv p” Mid
protested, “but <• iiub down and shift
saddles. Your horse, there, sir, needs
attention. Take him homo and doctor
him.” And ho enforced obedioi oo by
drawing an array Colt.
Tho bargain was concluded; tho par
son mounted his now Metal, and the
pair pusned on. After riding some
union in silence, 1< y lomarked. very
soberly, “J have been pondering what
you said yesterday, parson, about
horse-pressing, and I'm compelled to
admit that you wero right, i arn sut
islicd that it can hoi bo defended
or *
“Dan tt ty," broke in tho parson qui
etly, but with very sign ficanl empua
fci, “I don't want to hear you discuss
a mailer you don’t understand. Your
mind hasn’t been tr.incd to consider
questions of this nature and to draw
proper distinctions. That matter back
yonder wasn’t a case of ‘horse-press
ing.' it was a compulsory trade, made
necessary by the unsettled condition of
the times and country, and because the
laws regulating the making nnd en
forcement* of contracts arc rather si
lent just now. 1 could demonstrate
this without tho Icagt difficulty to any
assembly accustomed to lira discussion
of such questions. But if you ever al

Of course, it is known that when
they go over a comparatively insigniti

it’s bad eno\igh. My station for a

hundred feet long aud one hundred teet
wide, nnd in n gale of wind tho house
stood rigid in the water, with tho seas
rolling nil around.
“Yes, it was shaky. Olio night I
call to mind especially. It had boon
blowing a galo for two days; tho sea
was making a clean breach over tho
ledge, nnd every time it hit the house
it would jump GO or 100 feet into tlie
uirand come down on tho roof like
rocks. On tho ledge were four or five
bowlders that must have weighed ever
two tons, and tno nrst thing wo knew
one of them follows cuiuo at tho door,
burst it in, and iu a second we wore
all n-swimmiug. Tho stone couldn't

feel tho whole thing tremble ami quiv

“One night,*\coulinuod tho speaker,
“1 renumber Home fishermen got

and what a night it was! About mid
night someone sings out ‘T he lamp’s
out.' And so it was. Up we rushed,

and this you liar© handed mo is ouly ft

“Yo*. I see it’ only a shilling,” said
